The endless heavy rain continued to spread in the dark night above the fortress. It seemed that there was no sign of stopping. Dusk, who was watching the man gradually leave, then raised his hand to stop a few people.
The soldiers of the Principality wanted to pursue, but they looked relieved and looked at the top of the city wall in the distance, which was also broken. In the completely unrecognizable black night background, a burly figure slowly emerged here.
The marshal of the principality silently looked at the city head. With his hands slightly raised, he then lowered his arms with a low smile and turned his head to look into the night where Yinzhu left: "Really, no matter where you go, you won't let anyone save you."
Heart."
"Fortunately, we are still kind and righteous." He turned around quietly as the heavy rain curtain surrounded the surrounding scene: "Even in this situation, we still have to do our best to take care of you... Well
?”
The steps that he was just about to leave suddenly stopped in place, and his eyes returned to the inside of the fortress as he turned around. A girl holding a red lotus staff was also at the end of that direction.
He slowly revealed his figure, as if he had already noticed that his eyes were fixed on him who was standing far away on the other side. He let out a disdainful laugh, and the burly
The strong man then turned around and waved his hand, and then gradually disappeared into the dark depths above the city wall under the quiet gaze of Qian Zhihe who arrived here at unknown time: "Okay, you are still here.
’s home ground.”
"I admit that I am not completely sure that I can defeat you now, so I will let you go for now."
In the scene where the rustling of heavy rain still did not stop, the night of chaos belonging to Fars Fortress seemed to have finally come to an end at this moment, and the red-haired girl who looked at the curtain then also commanded Dusk to clean the battlefield.
Zhong jumped down from the top of the fortress where he was originally, and walked slowly to Duan Qing and others who were resting collectively: "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
"Except for me, everyone else is probably not having it easy." Duan Qing, who was treating Gedman with magic potion, replied without raising his head: "Although a zero-level player like me, others
Just touch me with your finger and I will die on the spot...that's not right."
"Aren't you responsible for keeping an eye on Yunmeng? Why did you come here?" He looked at the girl's face and paused for a moment while using the magic potion with his hands: "What if that guy runs away again?
"
"If he still wants to escape after we have worked so hard to protect him, then let him escape on his own." He stretched out his hand to help lift the other members of the Qingling Adventure Group to a place near the city wall that could shelter from the rain, with a look on his face.
The tense Qian Zhihe muttered in a low voice: "My task is only to protect his most basic and necessary safety. At the same time, it can be regarded as contributing to the dignity of the Mage Council. If that person plans to commit suicide, I will also
There is no obligation to stop him."
"Self-death?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who also dragged his tired pace back to his own team, held his shoulders and looked up at the people around him: "He's here too?"
"I don't know, I didn't see him."
He curled his lips and answered the guy's question. Qian Zhihe raised his hands and began to gather elemental energy, leaning a warm light on Duan Qing: "There are many people in the fortress, and he is now one of the key care targets.
If you really can't find him, just ask people around you to find his whereabouts."
"She seems to have matured a lot."
His eyes lingered on Anyu Ninglan, who was taking care of the others. Duan Qing then grinned and smiled: "Since you are so sure, then we don't care. We will just do it according to your ideas."
"My existence won't change much, and this attack probably won't have much to do with the previous attacks."
Transferring the healing light in his hand to the other members, Qian Zhihe, who still tried his best to take care of them, replied expressionlessly: "From the standpoint of Yinzhu and Wizad."
"They probably won't stand on the same line as the Restorationists and the like."
Following her gaze, the eyes of Duan Qing and others also fell on the interior of the fortress, which was still making noise. The hurried footsteps followed by a group of principality soldiers, and some people in the fortress were moved.
These special entrances and exits were quickly surrounded. Located deep underground where these entrances and exits were, the player named Colorful Lingguang then took his last few remaining player companions to the interior of the hall he was looking for and stood there for a moment.
He then turned his attention away from his memories and ordered his men to take the final action in a calm tone: "Okay, this should be it, just leave your things here."
"The main force of the empire's investigation team has left long ago, and Her Royal Highness Princess Reina is no longer here." Throwing the ball in his arms in every corner of this vast underground room, one of the members of the Red Lotus Gang
The player then asked in a low voice: "Is there any point in doing this now?"
"Since it is a commission that the employer still insists on, of course we must continue to insist on it." Wrinkling his eyebrows, Qicai Lingguang replied without looking back: "Maybe this is a frame-up against the principality or against the empire.
Ambush, such as looking for opportunities for the investigation team to return home, and then carrying out a wave of attacks..."
"Forget it, it's useless to think about this kind of thing." The words he muttered to himself became lower and lower, and he finally disappeared in the movement of turning around along with his orders: "Even if you die in this operation for us,
Brothers, we have to deal with this matter, the people above are also chasing us in the fortress, we have to hurry up before they catch up with us."
"That's it!"
A huge declaration then appeared behind the group of people, accompanied by the figure of a ragged magician who stood at the entrance of the stairs at an unknown time. He stood with one foot in front of the steps.
A magician player then raised his water-stained hair behind him, and looked at the colorful aura and others present with a strange posture of turning his head: "Ratboys, your conspiracy is over.
.”
"You finally showed up." After looking at the name on the person's head for a while, the colorful aura who came forward replied in a low voice: "You teleported away from us before, and were found here by Yinzhu all the way.
That character...Why, he also ran underground to escape?"
"Escape? What are you talking about?" Yunmeng, who put away her deliberately flirtatious posture and held her forehead with her hands, wiped her face with a proud expression: "That guy should have been beaten by now.
If I run away, he has no chance to catch me."
"What?"
His face gradually turned from serious to calm, and Colorful Emmanuel then sighed: "Can such a strong person not be able to withstand the thousands of troops of Fars Fortress?"
"No, you are wrong." As she slowly walked into the spacious room, Yunmeng brushed her hair and became more and more proud: "He was not forced to retreat by the soldiers of the principality.
, but a group of players.”
"You and I, the same team of players as Yinzhu."
Amidst the sounds of weapons being drawn out, the magician who was alone then looked at the faces of everyone around him with a look of disdain: "They are different from thieves like you and me."
"...When I picked you two up before, why didn't I discover your true nature?"
Using the action of inhaling to suppress the anger in his heart, Qicai Lingguang spat at his side: "Don't think that I will treat you like I treat Yinzhu. You are just a down-and-out wandering magician at best.
Under the siege of us professionals, you have no chance to resist."
"I suggest you say less words like planting a flag in the future." Yumeng's laughter did not change in any way because of the proximity of several people: "And even if you kill me, what's the use? I am now
The resurrection point has been changed to the fortress, your actions will only expose you faster."
"We don't plan to stay here much longer."
He raised his hand and pointed behind himself, and the eyes of Qicai Lingguang began to become sharper and sharper: "We just hope that you will not disrupt our plan to clean you out. It does not take a lot of effort. It depends on how you behave at the beginning.
That look..."
"You don't plan to cooperate with us, do you?"
"That's right."
Once again assuming a cool posture, Yunmeng's cheerful voice suddenly turned gloomy: "And I know what you want to do now. After all, I am also someone who knows the earth's veins in this area."
"The bombs you arranged here are probably for that ceremony, right?"
A confused light flashed in his eyes, and the colorful aura and several players around him stood there for a moment, and the ragged magician opposite them did not let go of this opportunity, raising his hands between
A distinct earthy yellow light also rose.
"Earthquake!"
Boom!
*********************************
"So what should we do now? Continue to wait here?"
Time came to the morning of the next day, and in the Fars Fortress where the sky became bright again, Duan Qing and others had finished cleaning up and then gathered together with their bodies that had just finished a short rest, looking at each other with tired eyes.
Looking at each other: "The clues have been almost checked, and our innocence was also proved in last night's battle. Should we continue our journey and go to Tania to join the main force?"
"No news has been sent back from the main force, and we have not received an order to rendezvous."
After blocking Asahi Dongsheng's proposal, Duan Qing turned his gaze to the still rainy sky outside the window: "And there is such heavy rain, it is very difficult to travel or fight."
"In addition to the recent sufferings that Fars Fortress has suffered." Xue Linghuan Bing, who was standing beside the bed, waved her hand. She raised her head and then gestured towards the Principality soldiers who were still running in the rain outside the door.
Next: "The uppermost level of the fortress, the east gate, plus the underground area destroyed by the earthquake last night... It will take a lot of time to repair all these damaged areas."
"If they make us responsible for all the repairs based on the reason we accepted the commission before, then we really won't be able to leave." Gedman, who was once again covered in bandages, concluded with a wry smile: "Although they are because of us
Last night’s hard work changed some attitudes, but such a huge cost of damage and repair area”
"It's up to everyone to decide at this time."
After coughing, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes fell on the center between several people: "Just like the vote last night, please raise your hands if you agree to continue this commission."
“What kind of compensation can they offer?”
"Because we also participated in the battle, the money promised by Dusk has been reduced by 20%. Now... it is about 16,000 gold coins."
"Doesn't it include the cost of materials?"
"Of course we have to come up with the materials ourselves. This is an unwritten rule entrusted by adventurers."
The next person who said this was not anyone present, but Mr. Yumeng who suddenly appeared at the door at some point. His body was stained with a lot of mud and rain, and he also made a sign at the door of the room, and then
With a tired look on his face, he closed the door: "Since we have collected other people's money, we naturally have to handle all the projects by ourselves. I have never heard of such a rule that allows adventure groups to take
Doing nothing while receiving a large bounty..."
"you!"
The bodies that all stood up slowly sat down again, and the movements of several people who were just about to angrily reprimand stopped in mid-air as Duan Qing's protracted final voice said: "Where have you gone? Did you go again?"
Are you trying to take advantage of the chaos and sneak away?"
"How is it possible? Am I the kind of person who is unethical?" After waving his hand, Yunmeng's indifferent gaze followed his arbitrary movements and landed on a corner inside the barracks: "
You all risked your lives for me, so I have no choice but to repay some interest first according to the principle of repaying a favor."
"So the vibration in the ground really has something to do with you?" They looked at each other, and Asahi Dongsheng, who put down what he was doing, took the lead and said, "Quickly explain the matter clearly, what exactly are you..."
"Excuse me"
A tentative voice of inquiry came from the direction where Yunmeng had just pushed the door open, and was accompanied by a figure wandering in the rain curtain outside the door, as if he had just discovered the lively scene here.
Then he withdrew his hand from knocking on the door, and the look he had just wanted to raise turned into a humble and polite look: "That..."
"Are you from Qingling Universal Firm?"
