"So the Mage Council has already made plans to go to the Free City, right?"
Some time later, on the streets of the Sky City, bathed in sunlight and the howling of the huge wind, Duan Qing, who had already dismissed the sunset smoke, sighed slowly and sat on the artificial floor with a melancholy look on his face.
Bench surface in the garden bush: "They think that's where the Restorationists are now based?"
"If there are no accidents, it turns out that the Council of Mages is indeed planning to go to the City of Freedom." He said this carefully, and Qian Zhihe, who was also sitting at the other end of the bench, clasped his hands and replied in a low voice.
Said: "Just like Lueyi Guyan said before, since it's not Tania and Redkar, then the only possibility is the City of Freedom."
"Why didn't you tell me this plan before?"
"Because, because I think with your wisdom, brother, you can definitely guess this possibility, hahahaha... uh."
The voice of dry laughter gradually withdrew as the other party's expression remained silent, and the red-haired girl lowered her head again: "Because, because... because I ignored everyone's objections and asked Teacher Freya and the Council of Seven
The reason why the Sky City was moved here was because it was the headquarters of the Restorationists..."
"So, the efforts we have made in the past few days are actually useless efforts on the opposite path, right?"
After completely throwing his body onto the backrest of the ancient bench, Duan Qing's eyes fell on the blue sky in front of him: "It sounds like we are the villains."
"How, how is it possible?" Qianzhihe hurriedly waved his hands: "Saving Tania must have its own meaning! They will definitely play their own role in the subsequent battle! Look at that
The city's defense system, as well as those ancient ruins, although... although they have been destroyed by the impact of magic, as long as they can be repaired."
"I'm not regretting or blaming myself."
The low laughter then interrupted Qian Zhihe's worried words, and at the same time revealed Duan Qing's slightly raised corners of his mouth in front of her eyes: "Now that we have come this far, there is no point in thinking about these things anymore.
I'm afraid that only by biting the bullet and catching all the dishes that Wiggins threw to me can I give an equally satisfactory answer to both parties."
"I'm sorry for putting so much responsibility on you, brother." Then Qianzhihe, who shrank his head, rubbed his fingers again: "For example, if brother really doesn't want to do it, I, I can."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Reaching out to block what the red-faced girl wanted to say next, Duan Qing smiled bitterly and put away the sigh he originally wanted to say: "Don't always say such self-blaming words, this book
It is not something that one or two people can choose and decide. If there had not been a series of events involving the Imperial Investigation Team from Redcar to Fars, the final result of the Mages Council might not have occurred."
"From this point of view, the series of actions of the Restorationists can be considered a success." He gestured towards the sky close at hand: "You are really there, and there are those who have been chasing us step by step.
The people who are pressing... Most of what Wiggins did before was because he wanted me to take responsibility for all the causes and conditions that happened."
"How could we just deal with the enemy that should have been dealt with by the Council of Mages?" Qianzhihe replied angrily: "Thanks to their bitterness and hatred during the meeting, the result was
In the end, I chose a simpler and easier path.”
"It's not certain which one is easy and which one is sleepy." Duan Qing shook his head: "Anyway, let's just treat it as an ordinary task in the free world. You can choose to do it.
If you choose not to do it, high-risk tasks will naturally have high rewards."
"I originally planned to give up."
Duan Qing, who seemed to have reached a certain bottleneck, shook his head again: "The situation in the East is unknown now, and it doesn't look like it is used as a base camp by the Restorationists and the Destiny Alliance.
What’s more, we still have matters in the Empire and the Principality to deal with, and the Fool’s Adventure Group has no whereabouts..."
"The people from Wizard chose to appear at this time, and they must have taken a fancy to this." Remembering what he said when he said goodbye to a certain strong man in red robes, the red-haired Qianzhihe wrinkled his face indignantly.
He raised his eyebrows: "You actually asked us to give up the task we were given? How is that possible!"
"The meeting has just ended, so it's naturally impossible to agree to this kind of thing." Duan Qing also shook his head: "But even if we stubbornly insist on this matter, we probably don't have the ability.
And the means to fight with people from the two major guilds to snatch mission resources."
"I, we can also recruit people!" Qian Zhihe clenched his fists and said with encouragement: "We have connections with the Mages Council and the City of Freedom. We can also find Uncle Butcher and the others who are stationed in the City of Freedom.
,besides"
"Okay, okay, don't worry about it."
After waving his hand, Duan Qing calmly suppressed the excited expression of the red-haired girl: "Isn't it good to let them complete this task for us? Anyway, I am not that big.
His ability is just a scapegoat."
"They will not give up the final mission reward to you, brother!" Qianzhihe still did not give up the idea of struggling and persuading: "It's not like you haven't seen the big brother they snatched the mission from. It's in the dictionary of these bastards.
There is no such word as ‘can’t bear it’!”
"As long as you don't have any obsession, nothing they take away will have any impact on you." Duan Qing, who smiled and touched the other person's head, stood up and calmed down Qian Zhihe's excited expression with a comforting gesture.
Go back: "I will explain this matter to Wiggins, so that the general trend and trend can return to the right direction. Should the Mages Council stay here and continue to repair the earth line in the future? Will it need to spend huge resources and manpower in vain?
Lost in the main mission that does not belong to them."
"It's better to leave it to them to decide."
He took a deep breath, and after regaining his composure, he turned his body and slowly left in the direction he came from. The garden on the edge of the city, protected by the magic circle, would also blow by.
The high-altitude wind in this area separated it beyond the visible range. At the same time, it also spread the midday sun from the close sky to the mottled ground where Duan Qing just passed. It has been sleeping here for thousands of years.
The random stone fragments did not seem to disturb the plants near these gardens at all. Instead, they displayed the ancient magic circles carved on their surfaces in the warm environment that maintained the garden. Duan's heart became as calm as these stones.
Qing then silently put away the sadness on his face, and the smile that he had sorted out solidified again as the scene in front of him gradually became clearer: "...So can you change places? In front of you.
There are already people."
"The city garden is for public use! No one cares who comes and goes. Why can't it be done here?"
In the field of vision, Walnut Rakshasa and others who were guarding the door for the two of them were also blocking several people who also looked like players from the entrance of the garden. They did not look like they knew each other.
The players' faces were full of irritability and provocation, and their hands on their waists looked like they were about to pull out their weapons: "Get out of the way! We're going in!"
"Why can you be here but we can't be here? Is this place owned by your family?"
"Get out of the way, otherwise don't blame our emperor's people for being unreasonable."
"...Is this really going to become a public enemy?"
Shaking his head and letting out a wry smile, Duan Qing then walked slowly to the back of the two groups who were about to start a dispute. He stretched out his hand to grab the back of Walnut Rakshasa who was about to make a move, and at the same time cast his calm gaze on
He touched the troublemakers at the front: "Sorry, we didn't mean to occupy this place, but these friends of mine had to think about us, so why?"
"I remember you." He looked up and down at the clothes and appearance of the player standing at the front, and his eyes fell on the other player's ID: "King of Foundation? Have we met in other places before?
?”
"It is you."
Still looking like the little thief he remembered, the player named Genji King also looked at Duan Qing's face: "I remember you too, you were the one who robbed our boss in Kemparo Canyon and also took the
The guy we killed together."
"I want to reiterate that the thing you got yourself into has nothing to do with us." Duan Qing pushed his hands and pulled Hutao Rakshasa aside and then asked in a low voice: "What,
A man came to the Sky City looking for trouble? Where is the brother of the fallen king?"
"I have nothing to do with them anymore."
As if he mentioned a name he didn't want to mention, King Genji spat hard to the side: "Since that guy likes to stay in that remote place and continue to live, then let him continue to live there by himself.
, As for us, we happened to meet you here, which saved me a lot of effort."
"Did you take away a woman before? The one that the Mages Council once asked the Violet Tower to take care of?" His small eyes drifted around behind several people for a while, and finally locked on Duan Qing again: "
Where is she now?"
"You mean Maggie?"
After overlapping the character information in his mind with the situation described by the other party, Duan Qing blinked involuntarily: "You are actually looking for her?"
"What? What's the problem?" Still looking like he was worth twenty-five or eighty thousand in his impression, King Genji jumped up and down to make up for the loss in momentum of his short stature: "I'm not only looking for
She, I still want to take her away."
"Since what happened with Tanya, I don't know where this woman has gone now."
Duan Qing, who crossed his arms and had several thoughts flashing through his mind, then decided to answer the question in a perfunctory way: "That woman is not a member of our adventure group who needs to be under our jurisdiction. She can go wherever she wants.
, we can’t grasp her whereabouts now.”
"Really?" Looking squinting at the smiling face of the magician in front of him, King Genji's expression became more and more unkind: "Don't use such words to frustrate me. I know your situation very well now.
Not to mention it is our mission target, we all know that Asahi Dongsheng has been following you!"
"Have you colluded for a long time?" The little thief took out his dagger and weighed it up and down in the increasingly tense air: "Last time, you escaped from our hands by relying on the connections above.
, that account hasn’t been settled yet!”
"Do you people like to think about things in this way?" Duan Qing involuntarily pressed his forehead, sighed and lowered his head and replied: "Either others are using some dirty tricks in secret, or they are relying on power.
Even if you have never had the concept of acting fairly in your hearts to resolve the relationship with the above, you should at least look for your own problems, right?"
"Don't do this!" In the scene where everyone behind him pulled out their weapons, the thief named King of Roots shouted and waved his own weapon: "You still want to rely on the relationship with the Mages Council to hide it? What happened just now?
I have seen all those things! Not to mention in this place."
"Even in the Hall of Emerald, I have plenty of ways to take your life."
Ignoring most of the crowd around him, the thief handed out his dagger in a majestic manner. The sharp dagger tip, along with the laughter of the players shouting around him, swiped past the tip of Duan Qing's nose and slashed in the air.
A chilling cold light emitted that was terrifying. He raised his head while retreating, and the gray-robed magician relied on his own reaction to narrowly avoid the dagger from his head, involuntarily.
The body that took a few steps back then managed to stand still with the help of the outstretched hands of Qian Zhihe, who came over, and returned to these players with a sudden burst of cold sweat: "You, you really dare to take action?
"
"Huh? Do you still think I'm joking?" Amidst the sudden sound of metal collisions all around, the figure of the thief waving the dagger became blurry at this time: "Stand there and don't move, this one'
Black Mirror 'will soon go through your neck'
"Boulder!"
The scene of Hutao Luosha and others constantly resisting appeared in Duan Qing's eyes. The sense of approaching crisis instantly made his hearing and touch become clearer. The magician's eyes became sharp and he gritted his teeth.
He raised his right hand and collided the large frost gravel formed in his palm with the approaching cold light: "You"
"Don't!"
The panicked voice then rang in his ears, instantly covering up the energy fluctuations that the two sides had collided with. The suddenly quiet air then replaced Qian Zhihe's half warning, and with it,
Accompanied by the system prompts that appeared in his mind.
