"...Why haven't you come out yet?"
Some time later, in the lower area of the Sky City, the figure belonging to Mengzhu slowly turned out of the end of a certain street corner. The streets that had been repaired and tidied up were also mixed with traces of antiquity and new life as shown in this city.
, with bits and pieces of magic radiance, making her black back particularly obvious. Impatiently tapping her toes on the stone floor in front of her, the little girl who had tied her blond hair into a bunch just stood there.
She kept waiting in a sparsely populated corner. It wasn't until familiar figures in twos and threes came from the other end of the corner that she put down her arms that she had been holding: "Too slow!"
"If the team operates with this efficiency in the future, I will kick you out!"
She looked at the figure of the thief who was leading the way back, with an expression of impatience on her face, and Hutao Luosha, who hurriedly ran forward, panted and lowered his arms. After a while,
Then he said with a calm breath, as if surrendering: "I'm sorry, sorry, but that boss is still as evil as ever. Three pieces of fine equipment plus fifteen pieces of excellent equipment, but in the end he only gave us five thousand gold coins..."
"What?" Mengzhu's expression became even more terrifying: "How dare he be so dark? Does he look down on our Fool Adventure Group?"
"When they only gave us eight thousand gold coins last time, I felt something was wrong."
A low voice came from behind Walnut Rakshasa. It was the words slowly spoken by a certain shield gun warrior in the team that was gradually approaching: "Presumably these people just came to this city to do business.
, they are also a group of guys who like to kill each other."
"Even if they look down on our status, they should at least look at the Mage Council's contempt for us, right?"
The impatience on his face became a little thicker, and Mengzhu gritted his teeth and whispered: "Our guild's reputation in the Mage Council has reached such a high level, how dare they not take it seriously?
"
"The City in the Sky is nominally a city managed by the Magic Council, but the Magic Council is not very good at expanding its influence."
Putting the ax gun heavily on the ground, the man named Black Corn called to the rest of the team members to go to the street to rest: "That group of magicians is at best a group of people squatting at home who are immersed in magic research all day long.
They don't know how to use their power to control the operation and development of the city. Even with their energy, they probably don't care how to use their influence to deal with so-called 'mundane affairs'..."
"Anyway, forces should have begun to enter this city now. What we were worried about before is happening." Pointing to the street where they were, Black Corn said in a low voice: "As the only city floating thousands of miles high,
You and I should both understand the attraction of this city in the sky. Even if we only consider the commercial value, there will definitely be no shortage of people coming to take advantage of it."
"You mean... that store we often visit has other backers?" The impatient expression gradually turned into surprise, and Mengzhu, who understood, stared and whispered: "Damn it,
Have they forgotten our kindness in taking care of their business during this time?"
"In the face of absolute interests, things like emotional cards will not work." Black Corn shook his head indifferently: "Just like the matter we have been discussing... once it reaches a certain point,
At this level, we can no longer rely on the reputation of the Mages Council."
"We are very grateful for being able to take care of us all the way until now." Looking up at the surroundings of the street, Mengzhu, with a sigh on his face, finally set his sights on the blue sky so close at hand.
: "But I also know this truth. Being able to stay in a place like Sky City for so long means we have enjoyed a lot of benefits."
"It seems that this trip has been planned by you for a long time, right?" Nodding his head with a look of relief, Black Corn replied with a smile: "Very good, I finally didn't get caught by Sky City."
The huge wealth has swallowed up your will, and you want to become a first-class guild."
"It's impossible to live in one corner."
The wordless silence returned to the end of the block as the two people coincidentally became silent. For a while, only the sparse voices of passers-by slowly echoed around them. The two people who had been looking at each other for a while then involuntarily put away their voices.
The smiles on their faces turned to greet the rest of the team members to walk towards the other end of the street corner: "Okay, brothers, get ready to go."
"Let's go? Where?"
"Of course it's not an abcdef area."
He raised his arms and danced with a shield, instead of the little girl, he gathered the team members in twos and threes: "We have been hanging out in this city for a long time, and we have hoarded supplies such as weapons and equipment.
Quite a bit. Since the difficulty of exploring this city has reached a certain bottleneck... let's go out of the city and take a look elsewhere."
One after another echoes came from the crowd of team members, and they were only accompanied by expressions of lack of interest on their faces. Black Corn, who noticed this, shook his head indifferently and turned around.
He cast his gaze on Mengzhu’s head: “Do you have anything to say?”
"...Ahem!"
Covering her face with her circled fingers, the little girl pretended to clear her throat, and then her eyes looked back at the faces of the group members she had recruited little by little in recent months.
, and finally raised his eyebrows: "I know that some of you are here for the name of our Fool's Adventure Group, and some are here for the good equipment and wealth. I have also given away many of you during this period.
These guys are so disappointed, we don’t need these people who can’t even believe in themselves.”
"You are the remaining guys, and you are also the crystallization of the excellent character members that I admire." She looked around at everyone's expressions, and whispered word by word: "Even if you stay in this place,
In the once-famous team, you don't seem to show any arrogance or eagerness for quick success. You have chosen a more difficult path, which is to accompany me, the less capable leader, and continue to make some achievements with your own hands.
Fame."
"Play with the honor that belongs to the current Fool Adventure Group."
She pointed to her chest, the surface of an adventure group badge inlaid with green bamboo forests and portraits, and then looked at the firm faces gradually revealed by everyone, and nodded her head with satisfaction: "The sky in this period of time.
During Operation City, we have accumulated a lot of resources. You must have heard a lot about the situation outside recently. I also discussed it with Black Corn and others who have been out several times before..."
"It's time to go out and have a good adventure." She raised her arm wrapped in black leather armor and ribbons, and waved the hand holding the dagger vigorously in the air: "Let's go to a wider world.
Let’s let the other big guilds get to know our current team!”
Then a chorus of cheers sounded in front of the little girl, and with the strong wind that never stopped blowing over the city, they drifted to an unknown distance. Mengzhu, who turned around to lead the team and started marching, also revealed his face.
With a confident smile, he gestured towards the black corn who was following him: "How's it going?"
"Okay." Black Corn answered her with a surprised look on her face: "I thought you would just fool around with a few words like before, but I didn't expect you to be able to say such level words."
"This kind of speech is childish. Just say a few words about your feelings." Mengzhu, who put his hands on his back and led him in front, jumped towards the center of the city where the anti-ground teleportation array is located.
He walked in the direction: "And these people who stayed behind are indeed a group of pretty good friends, and they also understand what I said."
"Given time, they should be able to become a strong force that can stand in the professional world."
Nodding in agreement, Black Corn then set his sights on the crowd that suddenly began to increase in size not far away: "Only if we have the ability to train them well... Well, having said that, where are you taking them?
Where’s the experience?”
"Well...I haven't thought about it yet."
"What the hell? You haven't thought about it yet?"
Having already reached the entrance of the square where the teleportation array was located, Black Corn stopped and patted his cheek helplessly: "You're not going to say anything that we can discuss later, are you?"
"What's the rush? Anyway, there are a lot of incidents happening in the Free Continent now." Mengzhu pouted her lips needlessly, and then pointed in the direction of the crowds of people coming and going around the square: "Don't worry, we have nowhere to go, I'm afraid we have nowhere to go.
We are spoiled for choice. If we really don’t have a target, we can just pick the foothills of Anderson Independent State where the Restorationists are stationed... Huh?"
The gaze suddenly stopped at a certain corner. The little girl who was talking stared and stopped talking. A familiar figure in blue and white followed by short hair with a headband flying from the other side of the square.
One end floated slowly, and finally disappeared into the teleportation circle in the center of the square with the figures of a certain team of players. The expression of disbelief then turned into an anxious exclamation, and Mengzhu, who quickly disappeared in place, then hurriedly
She ran towards the direction of the teleportation array. Ignoring the shouts from behind, she plunged into the gleaming light of the teleportation array, and her figure quickly disappeared under the influence of magic.
: "Sister Ninglan! Secret words: Sister Ninglan"
The dazzling teleportation light and shadow then quickly flashed in the little girl's eyes, and finally led her figure to appear next to another teleportation array directly below the Sky City. She opened her eyes and searched anxiously.
He looked at the figure he had spotted with a sudden glance, but after a while, he lowered his shoulders in vain: "How, how could..."
"what have you found?"
The voice belonging to Black Corn came from behind her, interrupting the little girl's chaotic thoughts at this time. Mengzhu, who turned around, also put away the look of disappointment on his face, and the sound he made again
But there was a hint of trembling: "No, it's nothing, I just seemed to see an acquaintance..."
"The teleportation array of the Sky City is a magic array specially modified by the Council of Mages. It is designed to use high-end magic techniques to ensure multi-point teleportation technology between various countries." He steadily retracted his pat on the opponent's shoulder.
Action, Black Corn smiled helplessly: "From a player's perspective, you can choose the target location when teleporting. If you want to find the person you just saw, you must first know their purpose.
Land will do."
"……never mind."
After gathering herself, Mengzhu tied up her hair again and then shook her head: "Give the other team members, let's continue setting off."
"Just now... maybe I just saw it wrong."
*******************************
"Did I see it wrong just now?"
At the same time, Duan Qing, who followed Thousand-Zhihe in the library inside Redcar City of Frey Empire, glanced up and down at the dazzling collection of ancient bookshelves. After a while, he suddenly turned around and asked: "Why is there still someone here?"
Place?"
"Why can't people come to this place?"
The red-haired figure who had disappeared in front took two steps back, and then stretched out the head of Thousand-Zhihe Crane again: "The magician we arrested was just the magician who went around destroying that night, and the one who planned to absorb the earth veins, trying to
How can we refuse ordinary people to visit this library when they have lost their last bit of madness?"
"Then...how are those people doing now?" Duan Qing asked tentatively: "How many people did you arrest?"
"Including those who are stubbornly resisting, there are about thirty or forty people in total." Qianzhihe put his head back again: "Perhaps it is because they have absorbed the earth veins for a long time, these magicians are very powerful.
"Qiang, if there hadn't been a problem with the leyline in the end, it's still unclear whether the people I brought could have successfully captured them."
"We have put them all in prison in the imperial capital."
After turning a few more corners, Qian Zhihe, with his hands behind his back, heard his voice again from between the tall bookshelves: "Although this place is also a good choice, we don't dare to imprison them back here.
, what if they know some hidden secret passage that we don’t know about, or have the ability to re-ignite the magic circle in it..."
"Don't you have some magic locks? Just cuff them and that's it?" Duan Qing replied nonchalantly: "And since they are not here, why should we come here to see them?"
"Of course we have to clean up the mess."
Walking forward with his head again, Qianzhihe's explanation voice came from far in front: "We can develop a magic circle that absorbs earth veins for such a long time, and then harm so many magicians... Even if we can
We haven’t caught the last one, so we can’t let this scene go easily.”
"I know, I know, you chose the open space next to it as the original location of the station to monitor them... hmm."
The words that came out of his mouth stopped somewhere, and Duan Qing's footsteps also stopped at a corner full of bookshelves: "That's right."
"Have you ever checked out those so-called quiet rooms?"
