The meeting urgently convened by the Council of Mages slowly came to an end amidst the discussions of countless magicians and players, and the last few conversations between Wiggins and Duan Qing could no longer be heard.
There was no pause in their discussion. Rays of magic appeared one after another in the vast hall as the magicians left. Along with them, the great magicians looked at each other and disappeared without saying a word.
Duan Qing, who had been the target of public criticism because of his last message, had also disappeared into the hall.
They took advantage of the chaos and left the place early with the help of several players who rushed to their side at some unknown time.
"Are you from the Fool's Adventure Group?"
Carefully avoiding the intentional sights that kept appearing around them and searching for them, the gray-robed magician let out a heavy breath. He gestured to slap the sweat that kept appearing on his neck, and then looked at the cover.
The thief standing at the front among his group of players said: "I remember you are the guy named Walnut Rakshasa, right?"
"Mr. Duanshui actually remembers me." Walnut Luosha, who also wiped the sweat on his forehead and confirmed the surrounding situation, then showed a relaxed smile on his face: "Since the last time we met in Tanzania City,
After that, a long time has passed, right? I didn’t expect Mr. Linyuan Duanshui to become such a powerful player.”
"If I were really that powerful, I wouldn't have been tricked by Wiggins like this." Duan Qing sighed and shook his head, leaning his body against the wall of the street outside the Sky City behind him.
: "How come you guys are still operating here? Aren't you all arrested by the principality?"
"It's just that the general and Brother Black Corn have been arrested. They can't possibly capture all of us." He gestured to the five or six teammates around him, and Walnut Rakshasa's expression became gloomy.
Many: "Maybe it's because we are not important people. After escaping that night's pursuit, we were no longer pursued by those principalities. And the City in the Sky is also a neutral city. People like us have
Guilds with a certain reputation can still continue to work, so I have stayed here."
"We have been thinking of ways to rescue the eldest sister and the black corn boss." When he said this, his face became a little disappointed: "But until we heard that Tania was in trouble, we didn't find any chance."
"Then what happened today?" Duan Qing pointed to his face in surprise: "I really didn't expect that you would come forward to protect us at this time."
"Because we heard about your situation and witnessed your influence in the Mages Council." Walnut Rakshasa stared at his eyes: "You, do you really control the future of the Mages Council?"
"Of course not." A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Duan Qing looked around again with some fear: "This is also the reason why I left that place quickly. After all, let me explain to them one by one what just happened."
Those are all exaggerating, and it’s also a very troublesome thing.”
"Brother, are you just exaggerating?"
Before Walnut Rakshasa could express his surprise, Qian Zhihe, who had his hair tucked into his white hood, jumped up in a fuss: "I thought you were already confident, brother. You nodded so happily and spoke so confidently."
"Having seen more scenes, I naturally become more confident when I speak." Duan Qing replied with a meaningless look: "But the so-called fulfillment of the prophecy and paying the price are just promises that Wiggins forced me to make.
"
"Is it just empty talk?" He opened his mouth but did not speak immediately. After being stunned for a long time, Walnut Rakshasa showed an increasingly disappointed expression on his face: "It's really a pity. I originally wanted to ask you to find the mage.
The council interceded and helped us release the leader and others."
"The Mage Council decided to help the principality. They will not be humble and ask the principality to do something." Duan Qing shook his head: "But"
"Nothing will happen to your group leader and Black Corn. After all, at this point, no one will harm them anymore."
He made such a comment, and then told everything he had learned so far about the Fool's Adventure Group to the remaining Fool remnants present. He walked on the streets of Sky City again with the footsteps of several people.
It became clearer and clearer as he moved forward, seeming to have broken away from the previous atmosphere of countless pairs of eyes staring at him: "...So, the group leader and Brother Black Corn were originally cooperating with them?"
"This matter has become uncertain now, because Black Corn himself doesn't seem to know the behind-the-scenes plan." Duan Qing looked at each other silently with Qian Zhihe beside him, and then spoke.
He replied in a low voice: "He has been pushed to the front of the stage, and all the spearheads are focused on him, so how to deal with the relationship between the two countries behind the Fool and them has now become an unpredictable issue.
"
"And Mengzhu has not been found yet." The light in front of his sight faded a little as the end of the street faded. The gray-robed magician then raised his arm: "I don't know whether Lou Tingyu and others are there."
Whoever got in the way got her to where she ended up."
"Mr. Duanshui seems to be very familiar with our Fool Adventure Group." With the same deep sigh, Hutao Rakshasa then turned his unexpected eyes to Duan Qing beside him: "Are you also acquainted with our group leader?
?”
"Well, it can only be said that I am very familiar with the Fool Adventure Group in the past." Duan Qing scratched his nose with some embarrassment; "Not only Mengzhu and Black Corn, but also Xiao Hongchen and Jiecheng Evil Young Master in the past.
And this Miss Qianzhihe is considered an acquaintance of mine...Why, don't you know them?"
"I, I really don't know them very well." The thief player replied with a slurp and looked at each other with his companions who were also in a daze behind him: "When we joined this guild later, these people were no longer here.
Yes, I heard from Brother Black Corn that they later left the team and went to find their own paths...ah, just like Miss Thousand-Zhihe."
"Judging from the current situation, your achievements seem to be higher than them." Duan Qing smiled at the red-haired girl next to him who didn't know what to do. He shook his head and pointed back to these people.
In front of me: "But you all look pretty good. Not only can you survive alone in such a city, but you can also handle the troubles in front of you."
"No, they're still far from it."
The sudden sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears, and it was accompanied by the movement of a sturdy magician in red robes slowly approaching them. The player-looking person with short hair and a Chinese character face also said something.
He let out two proud laughs, and at the same time pushed back the two Wizard men he had brought behind him as he stepped forward: "What an amazing feat, we have worked so hard to achieve this."
I climbed up to the center of the seven-member council's candidate power, and suddenly another apprentice of Wiggins popped up."
"You can't achieve this achievement through the shadow of the Fool's Adventure Group, right?" He rubbed his chin, and at the same time looked at Duan Qing's face with observation and scrutiny: "But it stands to reason that we have already
We should spend all the resources left by Christine, the great magician of the water system, why did a character like you suddenly emerge?"
"Your Excellency, are you following us here?" From the suddenly nervous expressions of Hutao Luosha and others, it was Duan Qing who was the first to put a smile on Luo Riguyan's face: "Although our method of taking advantage of the opportunity to slip away is not very good.
Gao Ming, but you don’t have to come out to wake us up, right?”
"You are right, I came here specially to meet you." He straightened himself up again, Luo Riguyan looked up and down at the gray-robed magician in front of him: "Well... although I have heard from scholars before.
That guy described it, but if I saw it with my own eyes, I still didn't see what kind of talent you have."
"Level? Attribute? What is the level of mental operation? What is the hidden magic value?" He casually asked a few common questions that only magician players care about and weigh, and then looked up and down, Duan Qing had no reaction.
Face: "If you only have this little strength, how many opportunities did it take for you to fall into Wiggins's eyes?"
"You don't look like someone who wants to communicate well." He sighed and shook his head. Duan Qing then showed a wry smile: "Since you don't plan to recruit me, why bother showing up to talk to us?"
"After all, we are people who have gotten close to the Fool, so it will be difficult for us to get along with each other." Waving his hands, Luo Riguyan nonchalantly put his opposing attitudes on each other's table: "Even if
We agree to have a good communication with you, and I’m afraid that guy Nifeng Youran won’t agree either.”
"But I see the development of today's meeting, you don't seem to be on the same front." Duan Qing raised his eyebrows, and his reply was also full of tit-for-tat: "If it weren't for you Wizard
After finally changing the attitude of Ifrit, I am afraid that you and Ms. Herm, whom Fu Feng supports, will cast opposite votes."
"A vote of approval or a vote of objection will not change the situation much at that time." He admitted openly, and Luo Riguyan also grinned: "But as long as our influence is enough
Extending to two-sevenths of the Council of Seven at this moment, the player group we represent is enough to win a place in this Council of Mages."
"Unlike you, Qian Zhihe, you won't use these most conspicuous resources at all." He said without hesitation to the red-haired girl beside him, and then turned his attention back to Duan Qing: "Also
Not like you."
"When we were outside at first, I thought you were a little person who got in with the help of the Red Lotus Girl. I didn't expect that you were the tiger who could influence the decisions of the entire Mage Council."
He put away the raised corners of his mouth, and his eyes became extremely solemn. Duan Qing, who was stared at by his eyes, also put away his unnecessary attitude and lowered his head instead: "It's an exaggeration, after all.
In a meeting like this, the party with the greater number of people is the one with the most advantage."
"Do you think that when Wiggins speaks, who among the great magicians present would dare to disobey?" Luo Riguyan sneered: "Even if they still insist on their own position and disagree, just because of the neutral magicians
The amount is enough to change everything.”
"That old guy has such a big influence?" So Duan Qing put on an innocent expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to be like this, but I didn't expect that the old guy suddenly came up with such a right move at the end.
.”
"Do you, Vizard, know about that prophecy?"
As if he remembered something important, his gaze towards the strong man in red robe became serious. Luo Riguoyan, who was obviously stunned by the question, also put on a thoughtful expression, looking like he didn't know what was going on.
Should you tell your information to the person in front of you? "Well... of course we know something, but why should we?"
"Because you, Wizard, have always been such an upright villain." Shaking his head and interrupting the other party, Duan Qing showed an expression that he had expected: "Those who disgust us in terms of intelligence are like this.
You guys probably don’t bother to use these small tricks, right?”
"……Hey."
After looking at each other steadily for a while, Luo Rigu Yan sneered and then retracted the arm that he was about to raise: "Well, since you said so, it doesn't hurt to tell you something."
"Haywald, the bosses of the Restoration Magic Council, seems to be very interested in the word 'emperor'."
He pointed in the left and right directions of the city in the sky where he was, as if indicating the east and west of the continent: "They attacked Drenir before, and now they are working on Pamir.
So the next step... they are probably planning to plot against the Free City to the east."
"These people probably want to get one of the four emperors." He frowned, and then showed a relieved smile: "As for why they established the Magic Empire and stood on the stage of the Free Continent
We don’t know if you are still so obsessed with the position of emperor after taking office.”
"Do you also think that their next target is the City of Freedom?" Duan Qing asked in surprise: "Then your original plan was to go to that city to stop their plan?"
"That's right." Nodding his head, Luo Riguyan looked at Duan Qing's face with an expression as if he was looking at a fool: "But we are not doing it for some stinky reason like national justice or world peace."
"After all, before you intervened, the original plan of the Mages Council was to head east."
