The suddenly sharp eyes slowly relaxed again, and Duan Qing's attention, together with the eyes of several people around him, fell on the visitor whose figure gradually became clearer: "I thought you really
I brought them here, it turned out to be you."
"I'm glad you still remember me."
Sloppily throwing the package in his hand to the ground, the visitor who walked in from outside the room then showed his tattered bamboo hat in front of Duan Qing and others: "It's so far away from the last time.
Several days have passed since the incident, and I almost thought you had forgotten me."
"No, no, no, we are still very impressed by your name." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand, and then exchanged looks with other people standing around him: "Why are you the only one looking for it?
Are you back? What do you want from our Qingling?"
"My identity has been exposed by you, so naturally I have returned to my old profession."
The nine-finger god beggar, who took off the rain hat from his head and revealed his face, then smiled at the others: "I also came with a mission this time. The first thing I need to tell you is the first one.
"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Rena's order."
He patted the rain off his body and gradually leaned against the corner of the barracks nearby: "The Frey Empire's investigation team hopes that you will leave immediately and return to the team as soon as possible."
"Return to the team?" The atmosphere paused for a moment as the voices of several players in the room stopped. Then Gedman's low question sounded first: "What do you mean? Why did you decide to let us go back again?"
"We must have encountered some problems." The nine-finger god beggar smiled and tilted his head: "As far as I know, there seems to be some... obstacles in the negotiations between the empire and the principality, which need professionals to solve.
."
"Are we professionals? It's almost enough to call us troublesome people." Duan Qing sighed deeply, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Her Royal Highness Princess Reina was probably aware of this, so she
Let’s all stay here.”
"Troublesome people have stayed in trouble for a long time, and naturally they have become experts in solving troubles." The Nine-finger God Beggar commented casually: "And..."
"I see you haven't been doing well in this fortress lately."
He pointed at the hurried soldiers who were still in the fortress, constantly putting out water and fire, and blinked his eyes at Duan Qing, who curled his lips and looked a little unnaturally.
Moved aside: "Nonsense, our reputation and status have improved a lot. If you give us some more time, we might even become close friends with Dusk."
"If you become close friends with Dusk, your reputation in the empire will probably plummet." The Nine-finger God Beggar's gaze also fell on Duan Qing's head: "Talking on two boats often has no good results.
Yes, and as a member of the empire, we still hope that you will not go astray and continue to stand firm."
"Don't talk nonsense, we have no intention of apostasy." After waving his hand, Asahi Dongsheng also showed a disdainful voice: "But I am very interested in why they sent you to inform you about this matter. Is it possible?
Have they cleared their suspicions about you?"
"That's right, after all, my secret mission is still to serve the empire." The Nine-finger God Beggar raised his eyebrows: "You are considered people who know me well, and I don't need to continue to play the role of the elder of the Beggar Gang in front of you.
, and since I revealed my identity as an ANBU assistant and spoke frankly with the empire, the trust of the empire has become much easier to gain."
"I always feel that these Imperial people have a deep trust in Simon." Duan Qing also made his own evaluation: "Or is it fear? In short, as long as the ANBU is mentioned, they will shrink and become cowardly mice.
Woolen cloth."
"Simon is a confidant trained by Emperor Drenir, and one of the patriots who most safeguards the unity of the empire." The Nine-finger God Beggar smiled and shook his head: "As for the Anbu... I have been a member of them for a long time.
, but even I don’t know how many people they currently have and what their organizational structure is.”
"I just need to complete my mission." He let out a deep sigh, then picked up the bamboo hat and walked towards the door again: "I hope you can eliminate the previous misunderstanding. I personally don't care about those names.
I also hope you won’t take it to heart.”
"I hope you can obey the empire's orders honestly under our surveillance."
In the scene where several people looked at each other in confusion, the player whose origin and whereabouts were unknown then left the sight of Duan Qing and others, and everyone in Qingling who looked at the figure disappearing into the rain curtain also let out a long cry.
After a long sigh, Xue Ling Huan Bing's sigh sounded in his ears: "It seems that he doesn't hold a grudge. We almost took him as an undercover agent that time."
"It's true that he is an undercover agent, but he is an undercover agent from the empire." Duan Qing shook his head and replied in a low voice: "From this point of view, this guy must have a higher degree of identification with the camp than us.
many."
"Then what are we going to do? Do we really want to listen to the message from this 'undercover' and go to meet up with the investigation team who don't know where they are now?" Xueling Huanbing's eyes began to patrol the surrounding players: "You guys
What’s your opinion?”
"Of course we have no objection." Asahi Dongsheng took the lead and shrugged: "We have to work every day here, but we don't even see a cent in terms of salary or remuneration... Hey, that's why I said not to deal with these principalities.
Are you dealing with people? They are all a bunch of treacherous guys, and they might be ready to let us work in vain by now!"
"Ninglan said the same thing." Ninglan, who was standing behind Duan Qing, tilted her head and smiled: "Wherever sir goes, Ninglan will go."
"I don't have any objections, as long as all the matters on our side can be dealt with." Faced with the gaze that Xue Ling Huan Bing sent him, Gedman also shook his head: "Whether it is an investigation matter
It’s still a matter of entrustment, and as long as we don’t leave any trace behind, it will be beneficial to us no matter what.”
"The crux of the problem is that the investigation of the previous attacks has not been completely concluded." Duan Qing pointed in the direction of Gedman: "Although we know who the murderer is, there are still some doubts.
We haven’t gotten all the answers yet, so I’m not afraid that Princess Reina will ask about our progress when the time comes. I’m just afraid that these missing elements will eventually become an important node for the final conflict to break out.”
"You mean we continue to stay here?" So Xue Ling Huan Bing tilted her head: "Let's investigate all the remaining doubts first?"
"Well... at least we have to wait until the heavy rain stops."
Looking at the heavy rain that still showed no signs of stopping with some sadness, Duan Qing replied hesitantly: "The investigation team still has a convoy that can provide shelter. Do we have to brave such heavy rain and move towards Tania? First of all, we have a convoy to provide shelter.
Not to mention the possible travel problems, the special monsters that may appear on rainy days will give us a lot of headaches."
"God knows when this damn weather will last until it ends." At first, he shook his head in frustration. Then Asahi Dongsheng raised his excited face again: "But it's okay, rainy days also have special bosses for rainy days. Since the last time
If it didn’t succeed, let’s take advantage of this opportunity and try again!”
"Are you talking about that water dragon fish? Let's forget about that thing. Even if the five of us are willing to go feed the fish together, those people from the Soul Adventure Group probably won't give up."
"What are you afraid of? If they dare to show up, we will just clear them out. Are you afraid of that level of opponents? Then you should hide behind us first and then experience the essence of so-called pvp."
boom.
Another loud sound of opening the door appeared in front of several people, interrupting the heated atmosphere that Duan Qing and others had just had. The figure belonging to Qianzhihe and holding the red lotus staff also appeared in Pangtuo.
Under the curtain of rain, the expression on the person who walked into the door didn't look so friendly: "..."
"What's wrong? You look unhappy." In the scene where several people closed their mouths, Duan Qing forced a smile and asked in a low voice: "Have those principality people offended you again?"
"...They found out."
His gaze stayed on Duan Qing's face for a moment. Qian Zhihe, who had just gathered his focus, blinked his eyes as if he had been wronged: "They found out the identities of the adventurers who attacked the fortress."
"They said... it was done by an imperial gang called the Red Lotus Gang."
**********************************
The news that the Red Lotus Gang attacked the Empire's Fars Fortress did not gradually spread in the player world at first. This was not only because the previous battle took place too late, but also because of the participation in this battle.
There are not many players in the game. They have almost no encounter with Colorful Spiritual Light. Naturally, Duan Qing and others do not know what is the other purpose of Yinzhu making such a big noise before, but the Red Lotus Gang is in France.
The series of damage caused in the Fortress of Else finally left too many clues for the principality to find out.
Different from the various ideas among players, the people of the Principality have no obligation to keep this information and news at all. What's more, the spread of this news has also given the Principality of Ernifia to once again take the initiative in negotiations.
Provides an excellent opportunity.
"Look at you! Look at you Imperials! Not only do you want to send people to attack us in such a heavy rain day, but you also try to plant magic bombs again? Do you want to repeat the tragedy a year ago?"
"That's right! They want to use that Yinzhu person to attract our attention, and then blow us up to the sky!"
"This is a conspiracy! This is a complete conspiracy! We have also informed your country of the situation we discovered before! There must be someone here who wants to use this method to frame us!"
"We believe that the empire will not do such a thing, but you also need to give a reasonable explanation for the emergence of the Red Lotus Gang, otherwise... we will have to reconsider the authenticity of the information you provided. They
Isn’t it really an excuse you just made up on the fly?”
"...The situation has actually become even more unfavorable."
In the town hall of Taran Town in the Taron Plain, Princess Reina, with her blond hair, looked calmly out the window where she was, and the back of her hand supporting her chin moved towards the sparsely populated area as her body swayed slightly.
outside the hall, as if the negotiation and quarrel taking place in front of him was not more attractive than the rain outside the window: "Thank you, Lord Diploma, I hope he can withstand the opponent's attack."
"Why does this kind of problem occur at such a critical moment?" Looking motionlessly at the shabby ground under Her Royal Highness the Princess's long golden hair, the fat nobleman named Field then showed an angry expression: "We are leaving
What on earth do those adventurers there do for a living? They would actually let something like this happen?"
"They're just a few small adventurers, and they don't have that much ability to stop anything." Patriarch Randall, who was sitting on the other side, then sneered disdainfully: "Or maybe we originally proposed to keep them there.
Are you going to regret your decision now?"
"Nonsense, nonsense!" The fat noble immediately shook his sweat-wiped hair aside: "Where is my decision? It was the decision made by Her Excellency Princess Reina and everyone together, okay? And no matter what they are doing now
, it is also true that they have caused us trouble.”
"I hope you can put aside your prejudices." After a deep sigh, Lott, who was fully armed and standing in the corner of the imperial camp, finally made his voice heard: "His Royal Highness Chris' life or death is uncertain, and the investigation team has been made things difficult by the people of the Principality.
Outside the city, the glory of the Frey Empire has now been reduced to the lowest level, and even these third-rate representatives sent here can make fun of us at will."
"We need to work together to get through this difficulty." He then turned around and his eyes fell on the motionless and graceful body of Princess Reina: "I hope that Your Highness can consider my previous proposal. They
It is truly an important fighting force that cannot be ignored.”
"My order has been sent out a long time ago." She waved her hand gently, and Reina's eyes still stayed in the continuous rain that no one had noticed: "If those people under Simon's hand
If a person is really capable, he should have sent the message by now."
"I hope they can give us a satisfactory explanation."
With a calm expression, she inadvertently passed by the negotiating table in front of them where the quarrels were still going on. A fat man who looked very rude was sitting in the principality camp at the end of Her Royal Highness's field of vision, tilting his head indifferently.
Lying on his legs at the back of the town hall: "How is the situation over there?"
"Reply to my lord, there is no news yet."
"No news yet? Am I overestimating these Imperial people?"
Tilting his head, the fat man with trembling fat finally looked at the leaders of the investigation team who looked bitter and resentful: "We have already reached this point, and they are still unwilling to take action."
"It seems I need to add a few more oils to this fire."
