There was a moment of silence in the small dilapidated house, and then a series of exclamations broke out. Duan Qing, who was sitting on a small bench in the center, also put away his melancholy expression and looked at him with helpless eyes.
Looking at the girl who was standing aside and squirming: "...here we go again."
"No, can't it?"
After practicing for a period of time, he finally managed to get rid of the blush that naturally climbed up his cheeks. Qianzhihe threw his clenched fists behind him: "Anyway, there are not many of you now, so there are not many of you."
I don’t have much and I don’t have much…”
"The bad relationship between us started in the battlefield dungeon era. I also admit that there were many wonderful misunderstandings between us when we met, but...since you have successfully sneaked into the position of the agent of the Mages Council,
Don’t come here to fill this little temple between us again, right?”
"So what, can't agents of the Mages Council have their own guilds? I'm not willing to join those big guilds and alliance teams, lest they always want to use my identity to do this
The one who did that..."
"Be good, she is really playing."
Staring hard at his own eyes, Asahi Dongsheng, who was standing aside holding the handle of the giant axe, sighed involuntarily. After a while, his expression seemed a little dull because of the scene in front of him. The two players were like lovers.
He came back to his senses from the quarrel, and passed the hands he was pulling to Duan Qing's back: "I said, what was the relationship between the two of you before? It feels like you have suddenly obtained some incredible information."
"You've made the same old habit, haven't you? Don't keep asking questions."
Duan Qing, who rolled his eyes and was pulled back, then angrily slapped away the arm that was tearing at his gray robe: "That guy is just a player who was on my team before, it's no big deal.
"
"No, no, no, no. The players who were on the same team with you before seem to be very powerful."
Glancing quietly at the position of Xu Yuliu, who had been silent, Asahi Dongsheng replied with a serious face: "Recruit me for real, what did you do before? Not only are you very powerful, but you also always recruit
Favored by so many beauties..."
"He's just a bastard who committed suicide."
The cold eyes then pierced into the exchange of glances between the two people, accompanied by the Snow Spirit Huanbing, who gradually separated the two figures. She seemed to be exuding the power of a resentful ghost with enough force to make Gray...
The magician looked at the other party with trembling eyes for a long time, and finally focused his attention on the red-haired girl not far away again: "Sorry, the Qingling Adventure Group is not accepting people now."
"Liar! You have put up recruitment signs over there before." Wrinkling the tip of his cute nose, the red-haired Thousand-Zhihe said loudly without giving in: "Don't think I don't know, I did it yesterday
I just wanted to come find you!"
"Oh? Then I have to praise your observation skills a little bit." Xue Ling Huan Bing shook her head with disdain: "It's a pity that you still lack some courage, otherwise this big radish with red eyes everywhere might not be able to do it yesterday.
I welcomed you through this door, but now...hum, I have the final say now."
"you you"
The angry look swirled on Qianzhihe's face for a long time, and finally calmed down slowly as time passed. The girl who seemed to have regained her composure then showed her accomplished indifferent attitude,
Looking at Xue Ling Huan Bing's face with a scrutinizing gaze: "Really? Is it your decision whether I want to be an outsider or a team member?"
"Because I am the leader of the Qingling Adventure Group."
A bright smile bloomed on her face, and Xueling Huanbing, with her hands on her hips, walked swayingly in front of Qianzhihe, and then her rare superior posture also fell on Qianzhi with her scrutinizing gaze.
He seemed to be considering whether the famous red lotus girl in front of him was qualified to be his opponent: "When the Qingling Adventure Group was established, the name of the leader of the adventure group registered was also the one above my head.
Four words, so of course I have the final say on who I want to recruit and who I want to fire."
"But the Adventurers Association has now closed down, and your so-called registration cannot be found now." Qian Zhihe curled his lips without giving in: "No matter how much you claim your sovereignty, you can't find anything here.
The contract and evidence that can support you..."
"The closure of the Imperial City Adventurers Association does not mean the closure of the entire Adventurers Association. Whether everything I said is true or not, naturally there are many other branch records to help me prove it." He raised one of his hands,
Xue Ling Huan Bing gestured towards the distance outside the shabby house with an indifferent expression: "I don't have the leisure to deceive a little girl like you in this way. You are not worthy of me using such means to deal with you. If you
If you still don’t believe it…”
"Then just ask him."
The raised hand quickly fell down, and Xue Ling Huan Bing then caught Duan Qing in front of him, who was just about to slip away. The slender and white arms seemed to contain a thousand pounds of power, and he easily held Duan Qing in front of him.
Duan Qing, who was struggling like a mouse, was raised into the air: "Hey, dear Mr. Linyuan Duanshui, do I have the final say on this adventure group?"
"Please save some face for me, okay?" Duan Qing gave up the struggle and hung his hands and feet upside down on the ground: "We haven't opened it yet. If we accidentally scare someone..."
"Of course I don't want to scare the guests, and I am willing to serve you well for your sake." A dangerous smile appeared on his lips, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes fell on Qianzhi He's angry expression again.
Gu's face said: "But it's impossible to enter my house."
"...Hmph, stingy guy."
After gritting his teeth and enduring for a long time, Qianzhihe's eyes turned to Duan Qing beside him. The tempered arrogance and indifference quickly collapsed, replaced by a pitiful look on the verge of tears: "Then
What about you, do you really listen to her?"
"Please let me go first, my head hurts a little now."
Putting one hand on his forehead, Duan Qing, who was still lifted up in the air, seemed to have his whole face drooping: "The problem of livelihood has not been solved, and this female Rakshasa behind me is unwilling to let me go...so many
Things are not over yet, so please don’t continue to cause trouble for me, okay?”
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After saying three good words in a row, Qian Zhihe finally showed a look of shame and anger that only a girl should have: "Since you don't want me, since you don't want to keep your promise, then I"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't say such things in a hurry."
A mature and elegant deep female voice then appeared behind Qianzhihe, interrupting what she was about to say. At this time, Xiuyu Liushang, who had not spoken since the beginning of the dispute, seemed to have finished watching the drama.
Like a female patron, she swayed her graceful waist and walked to the place where she faced Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Good performance, it seems that what she said is true, but..."
"Since you have now embarked on the path of a firm, you must be ready to join the industry, right?"
She protected the Thousand-fingered Crane with tears in her eyes behind her, and at the same time said in a low voice with a magnetic and charming female voice: "At this point, our status as guests... is more noble than our status as companions."
"That's right."
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who nodded his head and narrowed his eyes, looked at the woman who came after him with vigilance: "You can make any requests or instructions, but you and our Qing Ling Adventure Group
Essentially, they are still different ingredients. I hope you can clearly understand the boundaries between them."
"Since you accept entrustment and remuneration, I wonder if you accept investment?"
Without waiting for the white-haired woman to finish her words, Xu Yu Liushang once again threw out her next flag: "Anyway, no matter how fanciful your words are now, you are still the one without money after all. In this case...then...
How about we just talk about business matters honestly?"
"..."
"It seems that she realizes her most vulnerable point."
Pointing at Xueling Huanbing, who suddenly fell silent, Xuyu Liushang turned around and gestured to Qianzhihe: "They have no money now, so naturally they have no qualifications to bargain, right?"
"That's right, that's true, but..."
"But what? They are unwilling to negotiate business in a more amicable way."
Shaking his head and interrupting the red-haired girl's words, he blinked and murmured, then pushed Qian Zhihe's body again in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who looked unkind: "Since they are unwilling to accept your kindness, then let
Let’s test whether they have the guts to refuse money.”
"Come, let's talk about this business."
A proud smile broke out on her face, as if she had already gained the upper hand in this round of fighting: "After all..."
"This is your first business."
***************************************
"I roughly understand the situation."
Some time later, on the afternoon of March 4, 796 in the New Calendar, there was a flat area near the central block of Redkar, the imperial capital of the free world. Duan Qing, who had just walked around here, then put down his hands and wiped his sweat.
holding his arm, he said to himself in a voice so low that it was inaudible: "It would be better to say that I had already roughly understood it once when I accidentally fell here..."
"It's good to know."
He closed his eyes angrily, and Qian Zhihe, who followed him and walked around, also put the red lotus staff in his hand on the ground: "We applied for a total length of 400 beli and a width of 400.
The land area of nearly 300 berries is more than 10,000 square meters in real world terms. Although it cannot be compared with famous places such as the Triumph Cathedral in the Imperial Capital, it is certainly enough to build a Mage Council branch.
"
"This is all the materials we have raised." With a straight face, she then introduced in the direction of the large piles of wood and stone in front of Duan Qing's right: "It is definitely not enough for construction at the moment.
, mainly because the people of the Empire are not very friendly to this project of our Mages Council... Hey, if they agreed to us using the power of magic to build it, wouldn't there be so much trouble? It might only take half a day.
It’s finished.”
"After all, it is the imperial capital. The emperor and the nobles under him are not willing to let dangerous elements like you use high-energy methods at will." Duan Qing also shook his head: "And the current imperial capital has just recovered, and you can use and interfere at will.
It may not mean that something unexpected will happen, so in my opinion, I think it’s better not to use this method.”
"Since you said so..."
After muttering something softly, Qianzhihe quickly shook her head as if she had remembered something. The obedience she had just revealed was buried in her cold expression, and she looked back with emotionless eyes.
Looking at Duan Qing's face: "Anyway, in short! There has been no progress in the Mage Council's station during this period of time! Coupled with the chaos that God's City is encountering now, we have no choice but to find some foreign aid to help first."
"The foreign aid you are looking for is a little too weak." Duan Qing gave a helpless smile: "Such a huge project, even if all the members of Lanshan came here, it would probably take a long time to complete it, let alone a weak person like me.
The magician, and my small adventure group with only four people..."
"So you should solve it yourself."
Finally showing a proud smile, Thousand-Zhihe Crane, wrapped with magic energy, shook the red lotus staff in his hand: "Aren't you some omnipotent firm? If you don't have a way, just find a way on your own. The missing materials are just
Please help collect it, and also ask you to find the missing manpower yourself..."
"According to Sister Liushang, these things are all things you should consider." She closed her eyes and at the same time shook off the cool feeling brought by the magic energy surrounding her slightly: "As for
Money is not a problem, anyway, the Master Council gave me a large amount of funds when they sent me here..."
"If possible, I hope you don't hand over all the money to him first."
Then a calm voice came from the side of the two people, accompanied by the sight of Xu Yuliu's long blue hair gradually blowing in the wind: "You are now the customer, Party A, and you will transfer everything at once.
It is not a wise move to give all the deposit to Party B, as there is no guarantee that they will continue to listen to you in the future."
"...Why are you here too?"
Looking helplessly at the arrival of this graceful woman, Duan Qing spread his hands: "And you always teach others these vicious methods... Aren't you afraid of teaching bad children?"
"Don't always call her a child. She has already become a beautiful woman who can control a certain power."
Pointing at Qian Zhihe's face, Xu Yu Liushang walked up and stroked his cheek pitifully: "Unlike us old women, it's been so long and no one wants..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Duan Qing made a forbidding gesture: "Everyone knows how powerful you are, Comrade Witch. Even Xue Ling Huan Bing has suffered a secret loss from you."
"It's because she didn't recognize her own position and reality clearly." She shook her finger and then put away the pitiful expression she put on: "Of course, for her to be able to accompany her all the time in such poor conditions
Until now, I am still very grateful to you, so"
"Can you tell us what happened between you recently?"
She pointed at Qian Zhihe who was also looking forward to it behind Duan Qing, and then asked with a serious look on her face.
