The night time gradually passed away in the final struggle that suddenly broke out between Xue Ling Huan Bing and Qianzhi Crane, and then the motorcade set off again to welcome the arrival of a new day, with countless cheering soldiers.
As the cavalry and magicians who conducted the investigation disappeared, a long queue formed again in front of the established road. I wonder if it was due to the influence of the unexplained "attack" last night.
The original speed of the convoy seemed to have become faster than before. The various noble teams that were wary of each other slowly gathered in the center of the long convoy under invisible orders, and moved a large number of people including the rose-colored carriages.
The imperial nobles were fully protected: "Try not to disperse. Since the enemy is determined to continue dealing with us, they will definitely come back again."
"Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess! Protect all your lords!"
"Labour and Mahi have sent back the news. They have found no location that can be used for an ambush, and no ambush has been found."
"Then speed up! Throw the Santerius Plains across! As long as we pass through the Crook Valley, we should be completely safe!"
"...Do they really have that kind of consciousness?"
Duan Qing, still sitting at the back of the motorcade, looking at the much bloated motorcade, said in a low voice: "It seems they still don't believe our words."
"Even if they believe our words, they will not give up this formation."
His physical condition seemed to have gotten better. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was sitting next to Duan Qing, also pushed the door of the carriage and poked his head out: "You should be lucky that they didn't drive us out as plague gods."
It’s enough to save face.”
"If you ask me to evaluate this formation, it is as stupid as it gets." So Duan Qing could only comment on the bloated team in front of him from another angle: "If they all gather together, what if it really happens?"
If there is an enemy attack, the chance of being beaten will be greater."
"That has nothing to do with us." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied expressionlessly: "As long as that Ivost didn't lie..."
"This convoy should not be attacked in a short period of time."
She said these words while looking at the back of a red-haired girl not far away from them. The player named Qian Zhihe was also shuttled back and forth on each carriage of this convoy, as if he was doing something.
Duan Qing did the same thing yesterday afternoon: "Hello, I am Qianzhihe, the leader of the Redcar branch of the Imperial City of the Mages Council. I am currently investigating in this convoy..."
"What? You don't believe my identity? Do we, the Mage Council, have to receive an invitation from the emperor of your empire in order to legally and reasonably appear in this team?"
"Please do not do anything that may cause hostility, and cooperate with our investigation, otherwise...these red lotus flames that fall on your heads are not just a joke!"
"Who is the person to be investigated? Ahem... Well, he should be a ragged magician, male. Because he ran away from us, he should be penniless and very embarrassed. As for the name,
…”
"……whispering sound."
Letting out a sigh of disdain, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was holding his arms, then withdrew his gaze from the red-haired girl who was still pretending. The somewhat dissatisfied look was also reflected by Duan Qing's leaning over.
Instead, it was accompanied by a helpless smile from the gray-robed man: "Don't look at it, the resentment is about to burn into the roof of the carriage."
"It's not your fault." Xue Ling Huan Bing patted Duan Qing's body dissatisfied: "Why does she still stay?"
"Can you blame me for this? If you hadn't shown such obvious hostility before, you wouldn't have aroused her temper." Duan Qing, grinning, hurriedly hid aside: "If you were kind-hearted and
If she negotiates, your goal of driving her away might still have a small chance of success. Now that she uses the name of the Mages Council to stay here, there is nothing we can do."
"I don't care, I just want to drive her away." She looked away gloomily, and then Xue Ling Huan Bing bit her teeth hard: "And that Yu Meng... If I find out that he is really
He is hiding in this convoy, I must kill him!"
"Actually, there shouldn't be any problem if we keep that little girl in our team."
Duan Qing touched his nose slightly awkwardly, and then asked cautiously: "Her strength is obvious to all, why can't we go with her?"
"That's why it doesn't work." Xue Ling Huan Bing's unhappy face quickly turned red: "There is a beauty who is stronger than all of us and pretty good-looking... Such a person should stay in the team.
What are you doing? You must have kidnapped me again in the end!"
"Thank you for your high evaluation of me, although I think this evaluation may be too late for you and me." Duan Qing hurriedly shrank his neck: "But... even if it is fermented in a vinegar vat,
It shouldn't be fermenting at this time, right? When Ninglan wanted to join this team, I didn't see you raising any objections..."
"Ning Lan's situation is different." She let out a deep sigh, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression became sad: "Her experience, and her relationship with you... In short, since she
She is already homeless, so naturally there is no other way to take her in."
"But one code equals one code!" She frowned, and then warned Duan Qing again: "Now the ratio of men to women in this team has seriously exceeded the standard. I must strictly control the number of women, otherwise...
…I don’t know if you will do anything animal-like in the future!”
"It's better than animals and birds...ah no no no, that's not what I meant."
Rubbing his nose and muttering in a low voice, Duan Qing then hurriedly let out a few dry laughs under Xue Ling Huan Bing's glare: "What I mean is...that...you see now that he has both strength and background.
We can't drive her away even if we want to, right? Instead of continuing to fight with that little girl, why don't we both sit down and have a good talk?"
"don't want."
Turning his head away, Xue Ling Huan Bing closed his eyes and showed an attitude of refusing to admit defeat: "I have the final say in the Qing Ling Adventure Group now. If I say no one will be added, then no one will be added."
"What's the reason? You have to give people a reasonable reason, right?" Duan Qing helplessly pointed at the cold face of the red-haired girl who was still disappearing in front of him: "She refuses to leave now. It's probably because of this sense of resistance.
To cause trouble, this attitude of not giving up until the goal is achieved is just like when we set the rules in the Fool Adventure Group..."
"That's right!" Clapping his hands, Xueling Huanbing suddenly stood up from the carriage: "Don't ordinary guilds have conditions for joining? Isn't it enough if we also make a rule for joining the group? Change the conditions
Set it a little higher, preferably one that is absolutely impossible to complete.”
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't be ridiculous." Duan Qing hurriedly stopped the white-haired woman's excited movements: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you have to think about this matter carefully, in case the conditions set are too crazy, resulting in
If the team cannot develop in the future..."
Loud shouts then came from the front of the motorcade, accompanied by the sudden slowdown of the fast-moving team. Several figures of horses and cavalry appeared from the front of the motorcade, followed by their reminders.
Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who appeared from the left and right of the carriage, roared and flew past from the left and right of the two people. They looked at each other and stopped the conversation, and then their respective gazes fell on them.
On the surrounding lush grassland, the endless mountains have become the far background of this verdant grassland plain, and the outline of the city behind the narrow passage just passed is vaguely displayed at the end of everyone's sight:
"We are about to enter Ferron County! Everyone! Brace yourself!"
"Our first stop is almost here!"
*********************************
The vastness of the Ferron Plain is much larger than that of the Santorius Plain, but the territory to the west of Zaraha City is not as far-reaching as imagined, but even so, the crowded survey team's convoy still took nearly half a day.
It took a while to rush to the bottom of the city. Because of the previous world-famous war, this city that was already part of the Frey Empire still had not recovered from the previous war. The broken city walls and
The almost incompletely repaired potholed roads did not stop the caravans and players who continued to flock here, gradually intertwining at the foot of the city to create a prosperous and lively scene.
The reason for all this is precisely because the Sky City has never left this area since the war.
"Seven-colored gems! All kinds of magic rough stones from the upper town of Sky City! Areas E and F will be closed soon, and there will be no store like this after this village!"
"The Shangcheng District Skilled Team will only attack the first half of Area D. We are now looking for a warrior and a thief with a city entry permit. Those with the qualifications to enter the city will be given priority!"
"The Eternal Dynasty guild is recruiting. The guild's record is outstanding and it is now seeking to qualify for the alliance's professional team. The team atmosphere is harmonious, the president is generous and loving, and there are countless cute girls waiting for you to join!"
"Does anyone know when the qualifications for entering the city will open today? Does anyone know? You can also tell me the content of the latest mission. I can thank you with 500 gold coins!"
"What are the qualifications for entering the city?"
After staring at this bustling scene for a long time, Duan Qing, who stood near the gate of Zalaha City, took the lead in asking his first question with mixed feelings: "Are you qualified to enter the Sky City?"
"You don't even know this, how dare you claim to be an old player?" Asahi Dongsheng on the side heard the sound and replied impatiently: "That city in the sky is not a place that ordinary people can enter if they want. Of course, they need to enter the city.
Qualified."
"So what are the qualifications for entering the city? Paying money? Or do you need to complete any tasks?" Duan Qing looked up at the huge chassis of the city floating in the sky, and then cast his interested eyes on the city gate.
All around: “Who is in charge of that city?”
"Of course it's the Council of Mages." He also put away his gaze, and Gedman, who was standing on the other side, let out a few wry smiles: "That is a product left over from the ancient Magic Empire, and of course it can only be handed over to the mages.
The Congress will handle it, but because there are too many unknown areas left above, they opened the door to the outside world not long after taking over... Well."
"I remember it was in that direction." He looked left and right for a while, then pointed to a corner of the ancient and dilapidated wall of Zaraha City: "There is a temporary residence set up by the Council of Mages there, which is used as a gateway to the sky.
The city’s checkpoint.”
"Inspection gate?" The curiosity on Duan Qing's face became more intense: "Is that the entrance to the Sky City?"
"Of course not, the teleportation point of Sky City is in another direction."
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was standing at the back with his arms folded, knocked the opponent on the back of the head angrily and said with an unhappy expression: "I advise you not to try it, they won't issue us a pass."
"Why."
The confusion that blurted out quickly turned into a long sound of realization. Duan Qing then looked the white-haired woman up and down with a clear look: "Because of your name as the 'Dark Witch', right?"
"What, do you have any opinions?"
Turning his head angrily, Xue Ling Huan Bing pouted and looked to the side: "If you want to visit, you can just go by yourself. Anyway, the team should stay in this city for a while.
, you should still have a little time to visit."
"This is difficult to do, for the reason you should have heard just now." Gedman raised his hand and pointed in the direction they just passed: "The issuance of passes is time limited, and it requires
After a large number of tests by the Mage Council, by the time those magicians whom you don't recognize will entrust you with tasks, and by the time you complete the tasks that even max-level players are a little scared of, the investigation team may have arrived in Tania long ago."
"Well... if we can build a relationship, I might find a way to skip this step." Duan Qing put his hands behind his head and stretched towards a certain Zi who was following him silently.
He quietly glanced in the direction of the woman: "But it's better for me to do less of such a difficult thing. Anyway, it's not like I haven't seen that ruined city before."
"gentlemen."
Jiaoran's voice interrupted his last whisper, and at the same time, the figure belonging to the secret language Ninglan was sent to him. The maid who safely shuttled through the bustling market then calmly bowed to Duan Qing, and then led her
With a heartwarming smile, she said softly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess sent someone to find the team's carriage, and then asked Ninglan to inform you on her behalf."
"The investigation team is holding its first regular meeting. I hope you, sir, can attend."
