"Although I have long been prepared that I will be recognized one day, but... I didn't expect that you would be the first to come to my door."
Slowly turning his body, Duan Qing smiled in a low voice: "Should I say that he is indeed worthy of the name of ghost calculation and scheming? Weizard's strategist, Mr. Dream Lubber?"
"It's just that the intelligence work is better than the average person."
Waving his hands to push away the two men who were following him, Fusheng Limeng, who was dressed as a scholar in black, replied with a smile: "And according to my calculations, I should not be the only one who discovered this secret. After all, you
His deeds and various incidents in the Frey Empire during this period have been under everyone’s radar.”
"Oh? Who else saw my identity?"
"It's hard for me to say that."
Finally walking in front of Duan Qing, Fu Sheng Liumeng, who had his hands hanging down, replied with a meaningless look on his face: "Lan Shan? Or Wings of Freedom? Or Jiang Hu and the second best in the world? They should know you better than
We are much clearer, and it shouldn't be difficult to detect the anomaly here."
"……Hey."
Recalling his only few encounters with Cangyun Barrier, Duan Qing couldn't help but sneered a few times: "Well, Xue Ling Huan Bing and Xu Yu Liu Shang already know about it now, how can you guys catch up?
The flies that couldn't be driven away would arrive sooner or later. I originally planned to finish my business here and then run away again, but I didn't expect that the woman was able to stop her with a trick in the end..."
"Are you talking about the affairs of the firm in front of you? I thought this was an idea originally thought up by people like you." As if he understood what the other party was talking about, Fusheng Limeng raised his head and glanced at his side.
The crowd was still crowded: "Seriously, this is a really good idea. If there hadn't been some problems with order, I wouldn't have been able to find a chance to squeeze in to meet you right now."
"I knew that your sudden appearance would do nothing good." Hiding the truth about the "inventor" naturally, Duan Qing continued expressionlessly: "Tell me your reason for coming. Find my head at this time."
What on earth do you want...?"
"Don't look like such a bitter and resentful person. The relationship between us should not be so bad, right?" Fu Sheng Ling Meng shrugged his shoulders: "Although the relationship between us before was in Tania,
There were still some conflicts, but in the end, didn't we still take care of some of your business for your sake? Not to mention the melting pot, we have also cooperated in many ways in other business areas of the Fool Adventure Group."
"It's better not to mention what happened before."
Duan Qing interrupted the other party's words, and Duan Qing, with a gloomy face, raised his hands and said: "Now that I have given up that name, I have no intention of continuing to dwell on the series of grudges and entanglements that occurred in the past. Even if you say it at this moment
I won’t accept it easily if you ask me to pay back money or pay off my debts.”
"...It seems that you have really drawn a clear line with the previous generation." He put away the smile on his face, and asked with curled lips: "Where is that little girl? Where are the other members?
Are you not going to take care of any of this?"
"If I wanted to take care of it, would I still stay here so leisurely?" Duan Qing replied in a low voice with a sullen face: "And according to those people's wishes, it would be better for me not to continue to be involved with them.
Bar."
"No wonder they can force you to this point."
He looked at Duan Qing steadily for a long time, and suddenly a look of enlightenment flashed through his dreamy eyes: "Okay, I probably understand. Since you don't want to mention the past, let's discuss the future.
How are things going?"
"About the branch of the Mages Council, and...what you are doing now."
In the scene where the setting sun was gradually falling with the color of dusk from the sky, he glanced at the small shabby house behind Duan Qing: "It seems that your idea is very good, and it is quite in line with our Wizard."
What’s your taste and style?”
"Lanshan has already been pushed back by us, let alone you Wizard." As if he understood the hidden meaning of the other party's words, Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "No way, if you want to follow suit, you can go back and open it yourself.
Wouldn’t it be over with just one?”
"Our identity as Wizard is a bit special, at least in the free world." Fusheng Limeng replied with a smile: "On the surface, we advertise ourselves as an organization serving the Council of Mages, but in essence we still use those magics.
The teacher's wishes are the main course of action, so it is difficult for us to continue to accept other people's entrustments on this basis, select and assign tasks for them and other players..."
"That's your problem and has nothing to do with us." Duan Qing replied indifferently: "You want to eat from the bowl and look at the pot... Want to set up your own Adventurers Association? Then
Just change your guild policy?"
"I personally have this intention. After all, I always listen to the advice of the Mages Council. How can I make money by working alone." Fusheng Limeng put on a helpless expression: "It's a pity that the guild policy that specializes in magic is originally Wizard
It has been a principle that has been adhered to for a long time since its establishment. It is really beyond my power to make those old guys change their minds."
"So you want to cooperate with us? So that we can share a piece of your pie?" Duan Qing twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically: "Ignore whether this method is feasible or not...why should we share your share of the pie out of thin air?
What are the benefits?”
"Of course we will pay our share of the reward, or our share of the power."
Pointing to the surroundings here, Fusheng Limeng smiled and replied: "You should be aware of the situation in the imperial capital. Your team is too small now. If you want to successfully establish a foothold in this place, I'm afraid it's not possible to talk about it.
It can be done, right? The people in Arashiyama may not do anything with you for the time being because of your previous cooperation, but you must have experienced today's situation. If there is no big enough backer to support you,
, the trouble caused by the Noxus Chamber of Commerce just now... will happen in front of you more frequently in the future."
"Since we can't stand on the bright side, how about using your name to provide you with covert help in a complementary, mutually beneficial and win-win way?" He lowered his voice and put on a serious expression on his face again.
A kind smile: "When your guild gradually grows, we can discuss the future profit sharing. Before that, we will never cannibalize your team, how about it?"
"...It is indeed a crazy conspiracy. Every aspect has been fully thought out."
Duan Qing sighed slightly, and after being silent for a while, he finally spoke up: "But there is a very serious problem here, and that is our team development."
"Um?"
"The Qing Ling Adventure Group has no intention of continuing to grow and develop for the time being, and creating such a scene now... is just an improvisation on our part."
After saying something that surprised the other party, Duan Qing twitched his lips and replied: "Due to various reasons, our team will probably not be able to develop. Even if the 'All Things House' model can truly succeed, Qing Qing will
The Spirit Adventure Group may not have many more members in the end."
"In other words, no matter what stage we reach, we will always be the weaker party in the cooperative relationship." He raised his head and looked at Fusheng Lingmeng's face: "A fair relationship will never exist. Even if it reaches that point, you can't
Can you guarantee that you can maintain this cooperative position?"
"Well..."
"Of course, I don't have the final say on this matter alone."
Looking at the other party's expression that gradually became hesitant and difficult to answer, Duan Qing later retracted his questioning attitude: "The future of the Qingling Adventure Group is not something that I alone can decide. Maybe they will also in the future.
It is difficult to continue to maintain an aloof behavior as I would like, but that future is too far away for me to use it as one of the bargaining chips between us now."
"If possible, we should discuss some realistic things." He smiled and gestured in a direction not far away from them: "Or...current things."
"You just mentioned the branch of the Mages Council, right? Do you, Wizard, have any other ideas?"
"Of course, after all, the agency is not in our hands now."
After a slight pause, Fusheng Limeng then turned his thoughts back from the previous topic: "As the owner of the agency, you should already know that you should also own the Thousand Fingered Crane.
People who are closely related to each other, right?"
"What, you want me to convince her to give up that right?"
"Absolutely. After all, it is almost impossible for her to complete the construction of the branch by herself."
He tilted his head, and his dreamy eyes were also focused on the direction of the library that was vaguely visible in the distance: "Although I have some doubts about her location, it is the same reason to change the place. We
I had offered her a similar willingness to cooperate before, but she was ruthlessly rejected."
"That red-haired girl seems to have a lot of resentment towards us." He said with a bitter smile: "I don't know where we provoked her."
"If you who are in the same force don't know, then I don't know even more." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "So? You want me to help you matchmaking?"
"Originally, we came here to seek other development options besides the branch." Fusheng Limeng stretched his arms: "Of course, this method is definitely more troublesome than the official method. Since
The possibility of cooperation has arisen, and we are unwilling to give up this opportunity..."
"I'm sorry, you have to give up." Interrupting the other party's words, Duan Qing waved his hands and replied: "Qianzhihe has entrusted us with the construction work yesterday and asked us to take over this work as the agent's agent.
As for the mission of the branch, your current proposal is simply competing with us for jobs."
"...Isn't there any way to make accommodations? For example, between us."
"No. Unless you are willing to provide labor for free, otherwise...what is the difference between this and robbing the meat we have already obtained?"
"That means there is no need to talk about it? What a pity. Originally, we had prepared many more cooperation projects based on this."
"After all, it's all about cooperation content that eats people but doesn't spit out bones, right? It seems to have no flaws on the surface, but secretly it has already dug a hole for us to jump out of."
"You seem to have a good understanding of our Wizard's way of doing things."
Taking two steps back slightly, the smile on Fusheng Limeng's face gradually faded away: "I can guarantee that those are all baseless rumors. If you can put aside your grudges and get to know us better,
I believe you will be able to get rid of the misunderstandings that often appear in the eyes of ordinary people."
"Maybe, but that will happen later." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "I will tell the other members everything about your visit today, just in case there is any change in their minds.
, I will definitely contact you, is that okay?"
"Tell me about the person next to you."
The line of sight gradually shifted a little, and Fusheng Limeng turned his gaze from the direction of Duan Qing to the cloaked woman who kept a dull expression on the side: "Who is she? She doesn't look like an adventurer.
Are you the follower you just acquired recently?"
"So you also know the concept of followers?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It seems that with your Wizard skills, it is not difficult to find a few handy followers."
"big sister!"
Loud shouts then appeared next to them. At the end of this street, which was still bustling with hustle and bustle, the little boy who had been entrusted to them and needed to be taken care of also broke away from a mother who came to pick him up.
He held his hands and ran to the silent Violet: "These are the flowers my mother just picked, for you!"
"Thank you for the magic trick you performed for me!"
He stuffed the white bouquet he was holding into Violet's arms without any explanation, and then ran back between Duan Qing and Fusheng Limeng without looking back. The steps that almost fell followed him like
He paused for a moment as if remembering something, and then quickly turned to the direction of Duan Qing: "And you, the uncle at the gate."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
He waved his hand, jumped back to the mother's side, and then slowly disappeared from their sight without looking away for a long time, with his dreamy eyes and Duan Qing's wry laughter.
The end.
