"...That's right."
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who came back from the room at the other end and checked on Furla's injury, let out a long breath. After learning about the situation from Ning Lan, she also put away her doubts.
Looking at the other person's face sleeping on the bed, he also softened: "This guy... I didn't expect that he could really persuade the powerful dragon clan to join our team."
"I don't know if this is in line with the rules of the Adventurers Association, so I'm not sure whether the formal registration process can be carried out." Still taking care of the other party, Ciyu Ninglan replied calmly: "But it depends on Mr.
You must be very happy looking like this."
"He didn't drink so much for such a thing." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had her hands on her hips, shook her head angrily and then showed a helpless expression: "But I can understand him
I feel like I have successfully made Fu a teammate after trying my best.”
"After all, before returning to the real world, this world is everything to him." Taking two steps forward, the white-haired woman then cast her visiting gaze on Duan Qing, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly:
"This guy may take the free world more seriously than any of us."
"..."
The movements of her hands gradually stopped, and the eyes belonging to the secret language Ninglan also became a little stunned with Xueling Huanbing's words. She didn't know what she was thinking, and then bit her own lips hard.
The lips and the rags used to wipe the sweat on the hands gradually clenched together with the tightened hands: "Ninglan..."
"What's wrong?"
"Is Ninglan really suitable to stay by your side?"
Facing Xue Ling Huan Bing's doubtful gaze towards her, the maid player who was eyeing Duan Qing rarely looked worried: "Even now there must be a lot of people staring at Ning Lan, and they might do it again in the future.
Come up with more plots and tricks to deal with Ninglan and even Mr.
"There is actually no need to worry about you." Waving his hand, Xue Ling Huan Bing interrupted the other party's sobbing words with a calm voice: "Including Duan Qing, including me, as long as those people are still in control
The situation within the alliance and outside, it is impossible to reduce this targeting and hostility."
"It would be better to say that their ultimate goal in dealing with you and me is to deal with Duan Qing." His eyes fell on the man lying on the bed, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression became gentle and lonely again: "It's him
His strength and the accompanying fragility have pushed him to this point. The injuries we have suffered are at best incidental to the injuries he has suffered. If you really feel inferior and give up on yourself because of what those bastards did, the pain in this guy's heart
Presumably there will be more than now.”
"Help him more, within the scope of what you and I can do." She walked to the side of Anyu Ninglan, with an encouraging smile on her face: "Let's work together to find a way, and we will definitely be able to get through this.
Difficult."
"...Thank you." The hands holding the rag tightly wiped the lowered cheeks for a moment, and Ninglan spoke out the secret message again and showed her usual smile: "Ninglan understands, Ninglan will definitely help Mr.
.”
"Just like it's always been."
She stared at Duan Qing who was lying on the bed for a while, then turned her head seriously, and her waving fingers kept swiping in front of the player, as if she was working on her character panel.
What was he doing? He withdrew his gaze with some relief. Xue Ling Huan Bing then put the maid aside who was in a state of introspection. She walked carefully to Duan Qing's side and wiped it with her hands subconsciously.
He glanced at the other person's cheek, which was still asleep: "Don't worry, everyone has worked very hard."
"No one can rely on your protection anymore."
She retracted her hand and looked at Duan Qing. Her gaze changed from tenderness to firmness again: "Give us some time, we will definitely be able to help you return to reality."
After confirming her surroundings again, the white-haired woman nodded and then turned and left the place. The quiet corridor and the empty tavern lobby then appeared one after another as she returned to the first floor of the Blue Mountain Tavern.
In front of her, Wuxing Quetu, who was supposed to be staying there, seemed to have left the place early. He seemed to be waiting for something. He glanced at Xueling Huanbing at the door of the tavern and then slowly sat down next to Duan Qing.
In front of the bar where I was sitting before, I took the wine list from the bartender who gradually came forward and asked me something without saying a word: "Your business here is really good."
"Most of the people who come to play in the free world are players who like the virtual world." The bartender shook his head with a smile on his face: "If you are someone who cares about the food and wine in the real world, they probably won't like it either.
Stay in a tavern like ours."
"Then your shop should be as bleak as the previous cafe." Shaking his head slightly, Xue Ling Huan Bing's fingers became more nimble while fiddling with the wine glass in front of him: "But now there are still so many
Guests, it can be seen that everyone has a nostalgic heart buried in their chests."
"I'm glad you think so."
A low voice then sounded in her ears, but it didn't sound like it was coming from the bartender in front of her: "It would be better if you think so too."
"...I agreed to this meeting not just to listen to your cries and sighs."
Looking at the free-flying figure that appeared outside the door of the tavern, Xueling Huanbing gradually withdrew her calm eyes: "I chose this place just because it is relatively close."
"My compatriots and I have no objections to time and place." Pulling the hood on his head, Freefly slowly walked to the other side of the bar: "I have only one purpose here, to accept our
Have you made any suggestions?"
"That's right." He circled the wine glass in front of him with both hands, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's gaze stayed fixedly in front of him: "But it's only an exchange of assistance. After all, I still have the Qing Ling Adventure Group here.
It needs to be run, so joining your 'Free Wrath' guild is impossible."
"Although we didn't achieve the results we wanted in the end, we think that our hard power is still much stronger than those guys around you." Freefly rubbed his nose and smiled: "Why do you still limit yourself to yours?"
What about this little place?"
"If it was not long ago, I might not have the confidence to refute what you said." The corners of Xue Ling Huan Bing's mouth slightly pulled upward: "And now our Qing Ling Adventure Group will definitely become more and more powerful.
, I am very confident about this.”
"You've always been like this." Freefly lowered his head silently and said in a low voice, "Indifferent, stubborn, and never look back when something happens... That's why your father is like this,
That’s why I kept you in Tianxiang Company.”
"Everything about the Chu family has passed." Unwilling to mention this topic, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in an indifferent voice: "I have decided not to use the past to constrain my will. I will only rely on my current situation."
We need to make a choice, your existence may be the strength we need when facing the enemy in the future, so I nodded and agreed to you."
"As long as you can come forward when our Qingling Adventure Group needs it, we are also willing to make corresponding rewards for your revenge plan." She took a deep breath and looked at each other with serious eyes.
Face: "This is not just a choice made by me as Chu Lingbing."
The only sound in the gradually quiet tavern hall was the sound of the bartender shaking the wine bottle, accompanied by the confident smile of a woman named Xue Ling Huan Bing as she raised her long white hair: "It's also Qing Qing.
The cooperation agreement reached with you by the Spirit Adventure Group after careful consideration."
"Uncle Fei, please make your own decision."
*******************************
"The request to send the second batch of supplies has been sent out. Lord Diploma has also reached a preliminary consensus with Lord Field. They will use part of the family's money to support the principality's projects and wait for the supplies from the empire to be sent.
After arriving, the merits promised to them can be fulfilled immediately."
"In this way, the reputation of the Pamuir family can also be restored. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone... Emperor Drenier is indeed far-sighted. He must have expected this to happen, right?"
"The funding we promised to the principality has been fulfilled, but what about the part they should fulfill?"
"Prince Chris has been placed in the military camp in the south. Lord Lot has sent nearly half of his troops to protect him. However, his current mental condition seems to be very abnormal. I originally planned to ask him about his situation."
In Tania, the free world, in the Imperial Investigation Team stationed around the central ruins of the city, a group of imperial nobles gathered together were happily communicating about the current situation, and then at a certain moment, they invariably turned their gazes
He moved to a gorgeous and golden royal carriage parked nearby: "I don't know what His Highness is thinking."
"Your Highness has been working hard for Prince Chris, and even agreed to such conditions. However, according to His Highness's position, she should not help His Highness escape from this place at all..."
"Perhaps Her Royal Highness the Princess has already made plans, and we don't dare to discuss it rashly."
"But we should be the ones to discuss with in the first place! Why? Why choose those adventurers who only know how to cause trouble all day long?"
The voices talking to each other became lower and lower, and several imperial nobles sitting together showed jealous and unwilling looks, and the object of their jealousy was also sitting in the carriage of the carriage.
Inside, they sat opposite each other with Princess Reina, who was pouring tea and drinking by herself: "Have you already thought about it?"
"Anyway, if we stay here, we will only cause trouble to everyone."
Duan Qing, who spread his hands and remained motionless, then lowered his head respectfully: "From the time we were on the way to the principality, these people were just a group of hyenas biting us and not letting go.
Separation will probably reduce a lot of pressure on Her Highness the Princess."
"I know you are still worried about the attacks that happened two days ago." She gently put down the crystal porcelain cup in her hand, and Reina's eyes moved slightly on the tea cup that was shaking in front of her: "But you and
Your adventure group is still a member of the Imperial Investigation Team, and we will not take the initiative to give up your responsibilities until there is a definite order to exclude you."
"So this time is just a temporary departure." Duan Qing answered seriously in a serious voice with his hands folded next to his upright posture: "What's more, there are clues from the prophecy that need to be dealt with. This operation in the City of Freedom is very important to us.
It is inevitable for the empire to win."
"No news has come back from Randall."
Gently shaking the cup in her hand, Princess Reina broke her silence after a while: "So I won't discuss topics like prophecy and inheritance with you for the time being. I will only stand on the side of the empire.
Based on the perspective and existing intelligence, we will judge whether the current decision of you and your adventure group is in our interests."
"Lan Shan, Cangyun Barrier and others will still stay here. They are the main force of adventurers in this investigation team." Duan Qing leaned forward slightly and replied solemnly: "Their strength is
It has been proven in the battle that night before that without our assistance, it will not cause too much risk fluctuation now."
"That's not what I'm worried about." Shaking her head, Reina's face, which was resting on the back of her hand, slowly turned to the direction of Duan Qing: "But... you probably didn't say it completely."
"How many reasons do you have to go to Freedom City?"
"...at least three."
Facing that gentle smile full of mature female charm, Duan Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If possible, we don't want to go to that place thousands of miles away, which is full of dangers on the surface and secretly, but
There are a lot of problems that we have to go out there to solve."
"I have also heard some stories about you, so I understand." Reina waved her hand: "But according to the situation you just described, I'm afraid you will be attacked not long after you leave the city.
Was there an attack by the Restorationists?"
"We plan to use the teleportation spell of the Mages Council to get there." Duan Qing regained his serious attitude and pointed towards the top of the carriage: "If we pay a certain amount of compensation, it will only take us a moment to reach that city."
"That's fine."
After dragging her cheeks and looking out the window of the carriage for a while, and thinking for a while, Reina finally nodded her head: "You are the ones who broke the situation to this point. From this perspective, the Frey Empire can be considered a debtor."
You two are in love, so"
"As long as you still claim to be a member of the empire, I have no reason not to meet your requirements."
