The cold feeling still surrounded her whole body, and occasionally there was an unbearable boiling. The smiling face belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing also disappeared from her original face as Duan Qing left and her body fell again.
. She gritted her teeth hard, resisting the discomfort, and then continued to use her will to hold her body up against the corner of the carriage. An inexplicable dizziness then attacked her whole body.
Her original thought of looking out the window was suddenly interrupted.
Her eyes were tilted to the bottom of the wood while she was spinning. She gasped slightly and slowly closed her heavy eyelids together.
"Long live!"
Deafening cheers, a sea of welcome that surrounded them, and an atmosphere so warm that it could bake people to the sky then surrounded Xue Ling Huan Bing, creating a grand scene between the clear sky and the earth.
Looking at the welcoming road in front of him that was squeezed into a straight line by the crowd, Xue Ling Huan Bing's originally extremely pale face became even paler, and the symptoms of cold and hot illnesses later turned into an unreal sense of erraticness, carrying him with him behind him.
She was surrounded by slogans shouted one after another: "Your Majesty! Please enter the city!"
"..."
Her body then seemed to become unlike her own, and the right arm in Xue Ling Huan Bing's field of vision was raised on its own. A completely different calmness compared to the surrounding atmosphere then penetrated her thoughts, and with that
The clenched fist shook in front of him: "Then...this is a new beginning."
"Okay, let's let go of the past first."
A dazzling bright red appeared on the surface of the fist amidst cheers all over the sky. The energy flow that seemed to be the same color as blood then rushed into the clear sky with her waving arm, and the scarlet breath also followed.
With a large number of soldiers behind him shouting loudly, they flew in a torrent towards the far end where they were greeted by crowds of people. A huge trace that seemed to cut through the sky then penetrated the entire top of the azure background, and finally it was far away
The ground fell on the vague outline of a city at the end of the road. It seemed that the city had just been built. Then it was intertwined with the red energy amidst countless warm cheers. The earth-yellow city walls
Then it was dyed as bright red as blood: "This is the new country, the country that belongs to me... Oh, let's go."
"Let's go to a new future."
Boom!
The dazzling brilliance rose in the center of the city as the red light was gradually exhausted, and then expanded into a bright pillar of light that almost occupied the entire sky. The enthusiastic voices of the people cheering at the light were now heard in Xue Ling.
Huan Bing's ears gradually became blurry, and finally these strange illusions disappeared in front of her. The familiar yet unfamiliar scene of the carriage carriage also returned to her field of vision, and at the same time, the sight of the carriage again returned to her.
The alternating feeling of hot and cold became clearer, and the white-haired woman's eyes wrinkled slightly as she continued to pant. Finally, with her pale face, she looked towards the direction the motorcade was moving away from: "It turns out... this is Lei
The origin of Dekar’s red color, but”
But why? Why do I see this?
Why do I keep seeing these strange visions?
Is this a simulated sequelae after the character is injured? Or...
No, no, I no longer take mind-enhancing drugs, and that bastard is not here. The phenomenon of mental penetration should not be triggered...
"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen similar visions in the past."
Trying her best to stabilize her emotions, Xue Ling Huan Bing murmured to herself. After retracting her gaze, she lay back in the corner of the carriage again and stared blankly at the ceiling of the carriage: "The scenes at that time seemed
There is no connection with the surroundings, but those scenes obviously happened on the road leading to Redcar, etc."
"Could it be..."
She put away her mutterings, and there was a look of enlightenment in her eyes. Her eyes, which seemed to sense a certain possibility, then returned to the front of the car, and met Violet Jing, who had been staring at her.
They looked at each other quietly. The sound of the wheels rolling forward was also echoed around the white-haired woman along with the bumpy feeling. Accompanied by this was the vague argument and push.
The rhythmic sound of horse hooves gradually amplified, and finally turned into Duan Qing's voice that she was very familiar with: "... So as I said, we are very busy now, and we don't have time to follow you to deal with these things that you are not even willing to explain clearly.
thing."
"Haven't we made it clear yet? As long as you follow us, you will know the contents of our entrustment."
"Sorry, the members of our team are currently seriously injured. Whether we follow you or help you complete any commissions, we are unable to do so now."
"Nonsense! The Iwakuma Army and Princess Rena's Royal Guards have driven away all the unknown enemies! And they are in the wilderness several miles away! You have been staying at the rear of the team, how can you possibly encounter them?
Attack?"
It seemed that he finally couldn't help but refuted Duan Qing's words. The imperial guard captain who was confronting him loudly rebuked: "Didn't you claim that one of your members was injured? Get out of the way and let us check."
"They are all resting now, so it's really not suitable to disturb them."
Duan Qing, who was still blocking the door of the carriage and seemed to have lost his patience in the previous negotiations, replied expressionlessly: "Of course, if there is anything unclear, you can just ask me and I will discuss it as soon as possible."
An answer for you."
"You? Who are you?" The soldier captain obviously raised his voice a bit higher: "Who are you from the Qingling Adventure Group? Can you represent the Qingling Adventure Group?"
"I am Linyuan Duanshui, and I am currently a... member of the Qingling Adventure Group." Duan Qing's confident voice paused obviously: "Of course, I am currently taking on the duties of a coachman."
"...Hmph, you look like the kind of person who can only be a janitor." The captain on the war horse looked Duan Qing up and down, and seemed to have assessed the opponent's level in this way.
: "Get out of my way. If we really cause any trouble, a weakling like you won't be able to bear it."
"Disaster? What do you want to do?"
"We are now looking for any suspicious persons in connection with the attack."
It seemed that he finally showed his fangs, and the captain's voice became cold and serious: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has made it clear that this attack is definitely not aimless. Either they have other purposes, or there is an agent lurking behind the scenes.
Among this investigation team."
"I now suspect that you are the internal agents." He pointed at Duan Qing's nose and sprayed spit on the gray-robed magician's face: "You claimed to have been attacked by an impossible attack, but you refused to tell the so-called
The wounded will be made public... If you continue not to cooperate with our inspection, I will determine your suspicious identity!"
"If you are injured, you are injured. Is there any other explanation for this?"
An indifferent voice then sounded behind Duan Qing, temporarily suppressing the rebuttal words he wanted to say again. The figure belonging to Goldman then appeared at the door of the carriage, and his upper body wrapped in layers of bandages then
Slowly pushing Duan Qing's back away: "In the final analysis, you just don't believe in our strength... Do you have to show our corpses in front of you before you are willing to believe our words?"
"...Are you a shield warrior?" Looking at the heavy shield in the opponent's hand, the captain's expression changed slightly: "You do look very powerful, but...when did this injury occur?
Down?"
"Of course it was just now." Pointing to the blood stains on the surface of the bandages, Goldman explained impatiently: "Look at the blood, it's all fresh! I can't just cut myself off temporarily.
Is it a lie?"
"That is to say, you have indeed experienced a battle here?" The soldier captain's eyes flickered back and forth for a while: "Who is the enemy? What does it look like? Can you describe it to us?"
"It's a group of black monsters."
Blocking what Gedman wanted to say next, Duan Qing chuckled a few times at the eagerly watching guards: "It looks like a monster made of various beast body parts. Not only does it move...
He is very capable and has high combat effectiveness... He almost doesn’t seem to be a product of this world.”
"...Is it really them?" He held his chin and pondered for a while, and the hesitation in the soldier captain's eyes became more intense: "It is indeed the same as the previous report, but...well, you mean, you
Have you fought against those enemies before? How could they attack this place?"
"They should have used some kind of magic that we didn't know about. We didn't notice any signs before." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "And... I guess you didn't notice anything either.
wrong?"
"...Yes, the situation of these monsters is very special." Looking at Duan Qing's face with squinting eyes, the soldier captain nodded extremely slowly: "If this is really the case, then you are not dead.
A miracle.”
"However...since your words are consistent with the actual situation, the known situation has changed somewhat." He ignored the black lines on the faces of Duan Qing and Gedman, turned around and rode towards the front of the convoy.
He ran out: "I need to report to His Highness."
"You guys wait here for me."
The sound of tapping horse hooves then gradually disappeared as the group of imperial soldiers moved away, leaving only the two people present, Duan Qing and Gedman, looking at each other, until the speed of the entire investigation team followed a few...
After the shouts started to accelerate, they stopped looking at each other: "It seems it's over."
"What a surprising situation...did they really plan to treat us as criminals from the beginning?"
"It is also possible that they are people who came here to provoke a conflict and then frame us. After all, something like that just happened in the imperial capital, and there must be a lot of enemies among those nobles..."
"Are you referring to the people from the Chancellor's family? They do have a reason to do this, but if it is them, it just shows that they may have something to do with the people who attacked us..."
The sound of discussion gradually subsided, accompanied by the figure belonging to Duan Qing who once again opened the door curtain and approached the interior of the carriage. His eyes full of doubts then searched the carriage for a while, and then quickly
It fell on Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was looking at him with wide eyes: "Why are you up? Isn't your injury very serious?"
"They left?" Pulling the blanket on his body, Xue Ling Huanbing sat on his seat with a pale face: "Do you want to take this opportunity to plot against us?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I've sent them away." Holding the opponent's waist and placing them aside, Duan Qing then replied with a smile: "Being your house's janitor is really tiring. Not only do you have to deal with
I have to help you solve all kinds of trivial matters in the team and solve the troubles that come to you."
"Don't use the word 'you', you are talking like an outsider." He pouted his mouth with dissatisfaction, but Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes then showed a slight smile: "And
I think you didn't handle it very well. Those soldiers whose origins were unknown all fled in despair."
"No matter who comes to trouble us, we just have to do our part."
Rolling his eyelids, Duan Qing then pulled up the blanket on the other party's body by two points: "The one who hired us is His Majesty the Emperor, not someone in this investigation team. If someone takes anything
If they blame us for following orders or other reasons, then let them go to the emperor to argue with them."
"But our strength is indeed very weak." Xue Ling Huan Bing blinked his eyes: "Don't talk about us sick and wounded, you, the caretaker, are still at level zero now... Say yes
Where are you looking for mission upgrades?"
"Under the current situation, I'm afraid I'll die without any body parts when I go out to search for missions." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and pinched his cheeks: "Let's wait until this period of limelight passes. If it doesn't work, I will apply to go hunting for the convoy.
Use the experience of wild monsters to make up for it... huh."
"That Ivost won't come back, right? At least not so soon." He showed a trace of worry: "If it doesn't work, Maggie and Violet will still be here."
"The two of us can't always protect you like we did just now."
Finally speaking out, Violet, who had been sitting next to her silently, raised the corners of her lips: "Maggie must have been trapped in Ivost's illusory world once, so she could only stay in his world."
I broke free and returned to the convoy before I came here, but I was already out of Redkar's range, and the ley lines in that imperial capital could no longer be used by me."
"With my own strength alone, I might be able to draw a tie with Mr. Ivost." She squinted her eyes and looked at the faces of Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing: "But
His target is you, and with my current level of magic power... I cannot guarantee that I will always protect you."
"Uh, well..."
"I agree with Miss Xue Ling Huan Bing, you should first find a chance to practice."
Interrupting Duan Qing's words, Violet raised a smile: "Our protection is only a temporary expedient. If you want to truly solve this threat, you can only improve your own strength."
She suddenly stopped speaking, and then turned to look out the window. Duan Qing and Duan Qing, who noticed this abnormality, then moved their eyes to the horizon outside the motorcade, looking at the sparse grass that appeared at the end of the wilderness.
Ye and a faintly passing river came into view.
