"What did your instructor mean by his last words?"
Time has come to the evening of this day. Outside the door of the hut on the edge of Zaraha City, the figures of three or two players are also reflected around the deserted streets. Accompanying them are the figures that they have just returned from somewhere.
A tired look on his face as he broke free from the whirlpool of arguments: "What on earth is going to start?"
"You ask me, I'll ask who to go to."
Flicking his gray robe, Duan Qing then looked at the red-haired girl named Qian Zhihe in front of him with helpless eyes: "What they will discuss next is how to mobilize the power of the Master Council to deal with it.
This time, there was no explanation at all for the questions asked to me, let alone any clues. I couldn’t even understand the names they discussed next..."
"Those are all well-known magicians in the Council of Mages. If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce them to you." He stretched out his hand to tie his long red hair behind his back, and Qian Zhihe murmured in a low voice: "
But since they have decided to dispatch so much combat power, roughly calculating it is about 70% of the Mage Council, it means that this time the matter has become serious to an extent that we can hardly imagine."
"Of course, weren't you one of the people involved who experienced everything that night?" Duan Qing pressed his forehead and chuckled twice: "In addition, during that period of time, the Mage Council kept sending people to the imperial capital.
The identity of the characters... Even Rex 'wandered' there, so one can imagine how much they paid attention to the actions carried out by the Restorationists that night."
"Did they also receive some kind of revelation?"
Seemingly thinking of some possibility, the gray-robed magician said with a thoughtful expression: "They know some prophecies that we don't know, that's why they reacted so violently..."
"I don't know much about Lord Wiggins' prophecy ability, but Miss Gardevoir, who is the best at prophecy among the seven-person council, is not here." After holding the staff and looking around for a while, Qian Zhihe's voice also became sighing.
He said, "If she were present, we might be able to confirm the authenticity of this guess."
"Isn't your mentor also a member of the Seven-person Council? Hasn't she heard of similar information?" Duan Qing looked back at the direction of the hut where several great magicians disappeared before: "They mentioned it before.
When it comes to Christine… isn’t this enough?”
"...All the information Teacher Freya knows was actually told to her by me."
After holding the red lotus staff in silence for a while, Qianzhihe's face also became disappointed: "What she said when facing Romulus's questioning in the meeting was actually an attitude she forced herself to hold on to.
, there has been no contact between her and Christine for several days, and now we don’t know where the great magician has gone..."
"is that so?"
After sighing and saying this, Duan Qing, who was also silent for a moment, finally sighed leisurely: "Kristine has lost contact... I hope nothing happens to her."
"If something happens to a magician of Christine's level, then the situation we are facing now will be really serious." Qian Zhihe's expression became serious as he muttered:
"The investigation team is about to arrive, and we don't know to what extent the conflict between the empire and the principality will be intensified. If the restorers or the people behind them suddenly come out to cause trouble..."
"It is precisely because of this that we need elites from all walks of life to come and help us."
The indifferent and indifferent voice then sounded in the ears of the two people, accompanied by the figure of the magician who had been sitting behind Romulus walking over arrogantly: "Instead of you arrogant and indifferent people.
And ignorant mediocre people and common people."
"Your Excellency is the apprentice of the great magician Romulus, right?"
Instead of becoming as furious as Qian Zhihe imagined, Duan Qing turned around to face the magician, put his hand on his chest and bowed forward: "I haven't asked you for your surname yet."
"I am Prad, Prad Inflidy, it's okay to tell you this commoner." Brushing his short light yellow hair, the magician who called himself Prad then lowered his superior gaze: "
Also, I am not an ordinary apprentice under Lord Romulus, but his chief apprentice, please remember this."
"Nice to meet you." Ignoring the other party's arrogant attitude, Duan Qing raised his head with an unchanging smile on his face: "I wonder which school of magic you are best at?"
"...Why are you asking about this?" Prad's face became a little ugly: "Do you want to find my loopholes to deal with me?"
"Just out of curiosity."
Duan Qing shook his head slightly, raised his hands slightly and replied nonchalantly: "After all, we are all colleagues now. Trust and understanding between each other are the most basic content. If the question just now offended you, please forgive me."
Forgive me."
"...Hmph." Seemingly unable to find any flaw in Duan Qing's impeccable answer, Prad slowly calmed down the angry expression on his face: "So you adventurers among the common people,
I don’t know the rules in aristocratic society at all... My intensive school is ancient magic, and my mentor specializes in magic, do you remember it?"
"Golemology is indeed a high-level school within the alchemy school. If one reaches the peak of attainment, the golems created will be almost the same as human beings."
Duan Qing, who shook his head and put his hands behind his hands, then raised his voice and said: "Since he is a great magician recognized by the Council of Seven, we will naturally not doubt Romulus's knowledge of golems at all.
But... ancient magic? What school is this?"
"So the common people are the common people. I have never even heard of such a school of thought." Prad's face quickly showed a look of arrogance and contempt: "The ancient magic studied was exactly what the Magic Empire studied thousands of years ago.
Although the existence of the magic systems studied has been erased from history, there are still many aspects of their magic worth studying. If we can harvest one thousandth of the harvest from that great era of magic, we may
It will reach a height that is hundreds of times... no, ten thousand times stronger than the current magic system, hahahahaha!"
"So have you researched any good magic results?"
"Hahahahahaha."
"Speaking of people who inherit the ancient magic school, I seem to have heard of it somewhere... Ah, are those restorationists who are making trouble in the southern part of the principality exactly the same group of people?"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
As if being pricked by Duan Qing's two consecutive questions, Prad's face suddenly turned as red as pig liver: "I study the orthodox school of magic. How can I collude with those restorationists? You
This is slander, Chi Guoguo’s slander!”
"I haven't said anything yet."
Amid Qianzhihe covering his mouth and snickering, Duan Qing, who still kept smiling, then shook his head helplessly: "Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way, but I am just making an irresponsible guess.
It’s just that, as the apprentice chosen by one of the seven great magicians of the Council... ah no, the top apprentice, I guess those adults wouldn’t let such a ridiculous thing happen, right?”
"you you……"
"Of course, I also hope to have a deeper understanding and communication with the apprentices of several great magicians."
Looking at the other party's trembling lips due to extreme boredom, Duan Qing stretched out his hand again: "After all, the alchemy I am currently studying is not the school of thought that the old man above me is best at, and he usually doesn't have much time.
Teach me, so in order to make progress in the Mage Council, necessary efforts are also indispensable, right?"
"...As long as you understand."
Ignoring Duan Qing's move to shake hands, Prader turned away with a dark face: "We will have opportunities to have a 'good communication' in the future, so just wash your neck and wait."
"Farewell."
Without giving Duan Qing and Qian Zhihe any expressions, the young magician wearing a gorgeous magic robe left the place so quickly, and Duan Qing, who looked at the back, gradually put away his
The smile and gloomy expression on his face were even more obvious in the dim light: "He is such a difficult guy."
"Difficult? Why didn't I see it?" Finally no longer needed to hold back his smile, Qian Zhihe, who had put his hands on his back, circled around and looked at Duan Qing, his expression also full of joy from ear to ear: "I see
Didn’t you bully him miserably? You let him use his reputation as a mentor to show off to everyone every day. Now he knows how stupid he is, ha!"
"He is not a stupid guy." Duan Qing sighed and shook his head. Duan Qing, who did not smile, also looked back from the direction where Prad left: "Although I don't know what he just said.
The appearance he showed is somewhat real, but he did appear here with us, if this is what he did on purpose."
"Maybe he has heard the previous conversation."
The last words were not spoken by Duan Qing, but by a magician player wearing a light blue robe who came from the other side of the street. He seemed to have been waiting there for a long time and then slapped him.
He walked over holding his hands, but the look on his face was not as polite and friendly as you should be when you first meet a stranger: "Long time no see, Miss Qian Zhihe, and"
"Is this our first meeting, Mr. Linyuan Duanshui?"
He put away his hands, and at the same time took back a floating magic ball floating on his palm into his bag. Duan Qing, who was watching this scene, also sighed and his eyes slowly
The ground fell on the head of the magician: "Your Excellency Nifeng Youran... right? What do you mean by this?"
"Since we are all players, the conversation between us does not need those red tapes." He waved his hand, Nifeng Leisure's expression became much more indifferent: "Of course, there is no need for those twists and turns.
Cover up... I have already heard about you."
"Did that scholar tell you?" Duan Qing also put away his smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense, everything is just speculation."
"Even so, the position you stand on now is enough."
A sharp look flashed through his eyes, and the man named Nifeng Youran said in a cold voice: "As long as you are a friend of that Fool Adventure Group, you are my enemy."
"Do you hate that Fool Adventure Group so much?" Duan Qing, who blocked the red-haired girl who wanted to speak out in anger, stretched out his arm and asked helplessly: "Is it because you didn't keep your promise before?
Or is it because of the defeat in the battle for Sky City?”
"The defeat in the battle of Sky City is not the reason why I resent you. I just want to recover some blood debt for the disappeared Fu Feng." Nifeng Youran said in a low voice: "Of course... if you are that
For the person who sat on top of the Sky City, the situation would be completely different."
"Please, did you find the wrong person?" Before Duan Qing could express his attitude, Qian Zhihe, who was standing aside, couldn't help shouting: "The man behind the murder of Fu Feng was a restorationist. This is obvious.
It’s something everyone knows, why do you always take your anger out on us?”
"The affairs of the Restorers are the Restorers' affairs and cannot be compared with your affairs." Staring at the face of the red-haired girl behind Duan Qing, Nifeng leisurely and slowly shook his fist: "When I have enough
After gaining strength, I will also personally settle the accounts with the Restorationists."
"So this is the reason why you became one of the apprentices of the Seven-person Council?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows and asked: "I remember you are a water magician, right? You have been trying so hard to get Christine
I accepted you as my disciple, why are you sitting behind Rex this time?"
"It was Christine who introduced him to me, not long before Wizard exhausted all his resources to win this spot for me."
The tense expression on his face relaxed slightly, and Nifeng's leisurely straight body also tilted a little towards the direction of the hut: "Of course, the magic I practice also has many elements of the wind element. With Rex
In terms of his expertise, he is also suitable to be one of my mentors."
"Then congratulations on becoming one of the only three player magic apprentices, and you are also taught by two great magicians." Duan Qing smiled lightly and clapped his hands: "I hope you can achieve your goals
The day you wish for."
"Christine's disappearance will be a big change."
Pursing her lips tightly, Nifeng Youran finally turned around and walked back in the direction he came from: "Although I hate to remind you, the situation facing the Master Council is indeed not optimistic. Coupled with these magics,
Infighting between divisions... huh."
"For the sake of being a great magician's apprentice, I will just say one more thing."
He turned back, and half of his indifferent face finally disappeared into the depths of the streets under the dusk.
"Be careful, don't get eaten by the other party."
