"You, you, you agreed?"
The sight of several people turning over in unison paused in the air for a moment, and then as a certain awkward atmosphere spread, they jumped up exaggeratedly in the direction of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Why did you suddenly agree? Don't you disagree?
Of?"
"Now I agree." Pointing to the surface of the rose-colored envelope that seemed to be well sealed, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied to the people around her in a calm voice: "What, what's the problem?"
"Then, then..." Facing the smiling face of this woman who obviously wanted to cheat, Duan Qing, who also stood up, seemed to be a little confused: "What about the attitude of the imperial nobles and the royal family? What is the game between great powers?
What about the huge risks caused? And what about the business here? These things you have repeated to us thousands of times before... and now you don’t care?"
"You, why do you care so much?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was leaning on the table, finally broke her indifferent tone and said, "It's a woman's privilege to go back on her word. Now I feel like this."
The problem is nothing, isn’t it?”
"...I want to give you a thumbs up for your straightforwardness."
Pouring his lips, Duan Qing sighed and gave a thumbs up: "You can act so openly and justly when you are acting petty, but it makes us grown men seem unreasonable."
"Well, actually, I don't value the profits of local adventure groups that much." Xueling Huanbing, who retracted her folded arms to both sides of her body and narrowed her eyes, answered in a deeper voice: "
It has only been a few days, and all those monsters and monsters have come after us. If we continue to develop this firm without hesitation, the future will be really unpredictable."
"At least we have to avoid this limelight." Her eyes were silent for a while, and when she raised them again, they were filled with inexplicable determination and determination: "It would be even better if we can take advantage of this time to develop and grow.
You will have the capital to fight against other forces."
"If you want to develop and grow, isn't there one right in front of you?" Pointing to the silent and smiling Ningyu Ninglan standing in the corner, Zhaori Dongsheng's face seemed to become a little more excited: "This Ninglan has been following us all this time.
Isn’t the young lady the best development target? She is so beautiful and so powerful... Oh my!"
"I think that's what you want to say, right?"
Withdrawing his hand from hitting the other party's head, Goldman's expression returned to its previous indifference: "But if it is Miss Ninglan, I also agree to include her in our team, including the previous whispers...
As long as the strength is enough to join the ranks of the strong, we will support it with both hands and feet."
"She was originally the one who came to replace Xu Yu Liushang, so you don't have to think about this matter."
Duan Qing pinched his eyebrows and said this, and then gave a helpless expression to Ciyu Ninglan who was smiling at him: "Of course, if we take her with us, our combat effectiveness should barely reach above the qualifying line...
"
"The difficulties encountered by this investigation team are almost imaginable." He calmed down and then focused on the rose-colored envelope: "Most of the forces in the empire should also have obtained the royal family's approval like us.
Invitation, compared with them... we don't have any advantage at all."
"So we need to participate even more." Xueling Huanbing once again shook the beautifully decorated envelope itself, with noble colors and patterns: "Whether Drenier gave us this invitation letter out of care for us or not
, none of us should let this opportunity go in vain.”
"That's it." She stood up and looked at the other people present with her normal scrutiny: "Do you have any objections?"
"Of course hehe, no."
"You have the final say, you have the final say...so what is the use of those votes we held before?"
"I've told you it's no use but you just don't listen. Do you understand now? Next time something like this happens, just don't say anything and just listen to the boss honestly..."
Sparse footsteps then appeared on the left and right sides of this broken house, accompanied by three or two players who gradually walked out of the station. Having given up resistance, they slowly set off towards the shops they wanted to go to.
They went to make preparations before leaving according to their own preferences and habits. Standing at the door and watching two of his teammates leave, Duan Qing, who had an inexplicable look on his face, sighed and turned his head. He looked at the two teammates who had also not left.
After a long while, he said what he had never asked before: "You can finally say it now, right? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"...Where is it?" With his eyes hidden in the movement of lowering his head, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a low voice: "It's what I said before."
"We have a life-long friendship. No one has stabbed the other in the chest." Walking back to the other party with a grin, Duan Qing said half-jokingly: "Even His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about people like you.
How could the people here suddenly change their minds?"
"..."
After biting her lip and remaining silent for a while, Xue Ling Huan Bing finally raised a hand that was grabbing her arm: "I...I..."
"I've received some contacts."
The atmosphere froze for a moment with the appearance of these hesitant words, and then relaxed again with the deep breathing of the white-haired woman. She took two deep breaths and then closed her eyes, as if to adjust her mood.
Looking at Duan Qing's face again: "They contacted me several times before, but I rejected them ruthlessly. At that time, I neither had the intention to restore the relationship with them nor paid attention to their mood.
…”
"But the situation is a little different now." Her right hand grasped the surface of her left arm hard, and her fingers looked a little pale due to the exertion: "I no longer have the stance to continue revenge, and the environment I am in has begun to become weaker. They
...Although the conditions they proposed are very disgusting to me, they are indeed of great help to this team..."
"Is it the Free Flying you mentioned before, or those people from the Chu family?" Duan Qing interrupted the other party, and then noticed something was wrong and then put on a serious face: "They want
Call you back again?"
"No, it's not like that."
There was a moment of panic on his face, and Xue Ling Huan Bing hurriedly denied something and then lowered his head with a lonely expression: "I never planned to return to the Chu family. They didn't even think about it when I was in the most critical moment.
Lend any helping hand... No, looking back now, they should also know what Liangchen Meiyu did to me, so they might have betrayed me long ago and used the alliance to get rid of me, my father's only remaining blood relative.
…”
"Stop thinking about it."
Reaching out to pull the other person's gradually trembling body into his arms, Duan Qing patted Xue Ling Huan Bing's shoulder and whispered comforting words: "Those who have wronged you should repay the blood debt, and we will definitely find an opportunity to settle it together in the future.
, I will also bear these remaining pains with you."
"After all, those guys also made me look like this. They even threatened me with the crazy you." He hugged the other person's body, and then looked down at the face with tears in his eyes with a smile.
Face: "You must have heard about the chaos outside, right? It won't be too far away at this time, I promise you."
"Are you talking about... things in the professional circle?" The trembling body slowly stopped, and Xueling Huanbing, who wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, asked in a low voice: "Those recent joint statements issued by the guilds? This
Is it possible?”
"It should be Miss Lou's handiwork."
After telling her the answer, Duan Qing sighed and touched the white-haired woman's head: "In order for me to live openly under the sky, that eldest lady risked her life... Really, no matter what,
If this continues, I might have to follow the example of young ladies like you, and turn my back on all the favors I owe."
"……shameless."
After twisting the tip of his nose and hitting the gray-robed magician on the chest, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who burst into tears and laughed, then asked in an awkward tone: "What on earth is going on? What are the professional players and clubs outside doing?"
"Don't forget what state I am in now. If you ask me such a question, you are simply finding the wrong person to ask." Duan Qing pointed to his chest half-jokingly: "Of course, what exactly is this matter?
It’s not for me. I’m not completely sure about it. Anyway, we can’t get along and there’s no way to do anything.”
"What we people can do now is to deal with these troubles that occur in the free world." His voice paused, and then he looked at Xueling Huanbing's face again: "Tell me, those who are related to
You have already forged a blood feud, and now what do the guys who come to contact you want?"
"...It's Fei Zixiang and the remnants of his gang." Xue Ling Huanbing replied in a low voice: "They should have been one of the last losers in the last incident, and I don't know what happened between them and Xu Liangyu.
What happened? Anyway, in the end, that guy became the agent of the Chu family and the current president of Wings of Freedom..."
"They are also a revenge army now, and they have just gathered enough strength." After saying this, she looked around the street outside the broken house: "They should be among Redkar at this moment,
Running around relying on the connections and reputation left over from the previous Wings of Freedom."
"Is this the reason why you are eager to leave this place?" Duan Qing, who was hugging the other party's shoulders, couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Do they know about this firm? What a pity, I wanted to run a good business here.
Come on..."
"If, if you want to cooperate with them, I...I can also contact them..."
"No, I don't want to let you do something you don't want to do."
Duan Qing reached out and covered the white-haired woman's mouth. Duan Qing smiled and shook his head gently: "Okay, let's start preparing."
"The Imperial Capital is indeed a good place, but... it's time to say goodbye to it."
*********************************
The green and lush woods reflected the refreshing emerald green light in the sun, and at the same time, they were gently swaying with the hot summer wind that constantly blew through the surroundings. The sound of rustling leaves also kept ringing in Duan Qing's head.
In my ears, it brought a rare refreshing feeling to this summer that is no less than the real world. Walking leisurely through the depths of the forest covered with emerald green, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Maggie also arrived.
Located in front of a valley southwest of Redcar, a villa as old as the valley appeared in front of the two people, accompanied by swaying green trees: "...is this right here?"
"If the information is correct, yes."
Maggie, who still hid her face with her hood and habitually crouched in the shadows, answered Duan Qing's words in a low voice: "This is the Roland family's annex. The person you want to find... should be there now."
right here."
"..."
Looking up at the heights of the valley around the courtyard, Duan Qing, who fell into silence, seemed to be searching for some memories deep in his heart. His standing posture later attracted Maggie's attention. It seemed that he was still not satisfied.
He understood the purpose of the magician in front of him who insisted on looking for the Roland family: "Why don't you leave? Aren't you looking for Laura?"
"I just want to take this last chance to meet him."
Duan Qing shook his head with a wry smile, and withdrew his gaze, Duan Qing sighed and replied: "Since I am leaving the imperial capital, there may be no chance of returning in the future, so I searched through my memory and found that this is the only place where I still have my unfulfilled wish.
The place..."
"I hope it will be satisfied."
Under Maggie's puzzled gaze, he regained his composure and then took his steps again. After walking for a period of time, he brought his figure swaying with the leaves to the closed courtyard of the other courtyard.
In front of the door: "Hello, may I ask"
"who are you?"
Putting away the swinging bamboo broom in his hand, a middle-aged swordsman standing next to the door sweeping fallen leaves raised his head when he heard the sound: "This is not a place that ordinary people can find... Where are you looking for?"
Bit?"
"We are adventurers from the imperial capital. We want to see the head of the Roland family for something."
Taking off the hood on his head, Duan Qing patted the gray magic robe and leaned over to salute. Then, while putting on his polite smile, he looked towards the middle-aged swordsman in front of him.
The man gestured: "You are from the Roland family, right? I wonder if you can help us go in and report it?"
"Adventurer of the Empire?"
After looking up and down at Duan Qing in front of him and Maggie whose face was hidden behind him, the middle-aged swordsman with a strange look in his eyes lowered his head again after a while: "...I'm sorry."
"The head of the family is not here at the moment. If there is nothing else, please go back."
He waved the broom in his hand and answered emotionlessly.
