Like an elf in the air, the blue and white maid player keeps flashing in the unique gloom and darkness of the Free City. The spotless whiteness also creates a sharp contrast with the somewhat chaotic street scene at this time.
The noise and bustle scattered in the villa area floated away towards the distant city center. The slightly exposed smile slowly disappeared from his face, and the white cloud-like figure named Dark Language Ninglan finally settled on countless
Near the city lord's palace where the moats intertwined with each other, the figure that had recovered from the fast running state later transformed into the same calm and leisurely look as usual with the gradually calming breathing. Shi Shiran walked to the place where he had been waiting for a long time.
In front of Duan Qing for a long time: "Mr."
"You're not chasing me, are you?"
Duan Qing glanced behind Anyu Ninglan, and then a mischievous smile appeared on Duan Qing's face: "Did you bully other children again?"
"No way." A smile broke out on the maid's face again: "I am a top player among top players, and even the weapons are legendary."
"You have two weapons like that." Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "If I hadn't stopped you, you would have wanted to send them back, right?"
"Sir, you would never let Ninglan do this in the first place."
Inadvertently looking around the streets and alleys for a moment, Hua Ninglan quietly walked to Duan Qing's side: "The city has become such a mess because of us, sir, I probably don't want the hatred between the two parties to get deeper.
Right? What if Ninglan really takes action and kills Baili Duyou?"
"That guy has a grudge against Mengzhu and the others." Shaking his head, Duan Qing interrupted the other party with a calm voice: "Even if we don't send them back, they won't thank us for it. The reason why
I don’t want you to kill him, mainly because I want to delay it for some time.”
"We don't know where their resurrection point is registered." He turned around and hid his body and eyes in the corner of the street not far away: "If this speeds up the transmission of news and
With the gathering of people, we have even less room for choice."
"It's already very small now." Feeling the aura emerging from the far area of the alley that Duan Qing was observing at this time, the secret language Ninglan replied in a low voice: "There are many people over there, it seems
It seems like he is fighting someone... Hmm, this feels very familiar."
"Ning Lan, you are the teammate who was distracted before." A dull voice came from in front of her, and Duan Qing's waving motion without looking back appeared in front of her: "Even if you
If you don’t remember the information we got from the Dongcheng Club before, you should also have an impression of the place in front of you, right?"
A heavy roar then sounded in the building that the two people were staring at, accompanied by a loud scream unique to a woman, and three or two mixed screams followed by a sudden flying sound.
The dust that was rising appeared above the building that was almost about to collapse, and finally fell slowly as Xue Ling Huan Bing gradually walked out of the door: "... Phew, it's not here either."
"Stop looking, we have found it." Using gestures and breaths to attract the attention of the white-haired woman, Duan Qing then smiled and whistled at Xue Ling Huanbing who was walking forward: "It's simply a violent aesthetic.
Is there any?"
"You, you all saw it just now?" Looking back at the wall of the tavern behind him that was sloping down along the pierced hole, Xue Ling Huanbing's face turned red involuntarily: "Who made them so bold?
Now, even if you don’t answer my questions, you still want to touch me..."
"What?" Duan Qing rolled up his sleeves pretentiously: "You think you can do whatever you want by occupying Tristan's old house? See if I don't freeze them one by one and throw them all into the frying pan."
"Okay, okay, I know how powerful you are." He grabbed the other person's body with a smile, and a warm smile appeared on Xue Linghuan's icy face: "Almost everyone has been killed, how can you still
What to do?"
"I have to be angry for you." Duan Qing, who was pulled back, let out two dry laughs: "You have to work so hard to find people from one place to another, and you have to be angry with them... Wait, they are not newcomers.
Candidate for the throne?”
"No, it's the base area they just bought from Borderlands." Xueling Huanbing pressed her forehead: "Although most of them are NPCs who don't know where they came from, they should be from Borderlands.
A tribe secretly supported by people... Haha, it seems that the information Dongcheng will give us cannot be fully trusted. There may be many forces mixed in it that they want to take advantage of. "
"Mr. Zhang, right?" Looking towards the southeast where they were, Duan Qing curled his lips and said, "I'll settle the score with them when I have the chance."
"You just said you found it?" Xueling Huanbing immediately noticed something Duan Qing said before: "Did you find Mengzhu?"
"Of course I found her clue."
Duan Qing said this answer as if he was breathing heavily, and gestured to the guards in black who were running silently not far away: "It was Gardevoir who told us the news and asked us to go to the villa area.
Try your luck somewhere and it turns out like this."
"Have you stirred up a hornet's nest?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who quietly hid behind the corner and had some understanding, then glared at Ciyu Ning Lan next to him: "Did the infiltration fail?"
"If there is a place in this world that even Ninglan can't enter, probably no one else can sneak in." Duan Qing shook his head and sighed, and then shifted his gaze back to the dark alley: "This
I don’t blame her at all, I asked her to take me to such a deep place, but "
"Every effort will always be rewarded." He snapped his fingers and pointed to the location of the vaguely visible square in the center of the City of Freedom not far away: "If it hadn't been for this trip, we wouldn't have been able to find out.
Got so much amazing information.”
"Freedom Square?" Looking in the direction Duan Qing indicated, Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression also became strange: "What's going on there?"
"It's not much there. The problem lies in the things connected there." His eyes stayed for a moment on the black-clothed figures that were constantly gathering in the streets around the square. Duan Qing's expression then became bitter: "It's really
Yes, that little girl’s imagination in a hurry is still as amazing as ever.”
"Under such circumstances, probably only places like the Bridge of Miracles can give her a chance of survival."
***************************
"So out of these three tasks, you have completed two by yourself?"
Some time later in the evening, in another dark alley near the Freedom City Square, the Qing Ling Adventure Group gathered again and then heard the sigh of Asahi Dongsheng, and he kept slapping in front of him while doing nothing.
The muffled sound made when opening the box: "Isn't this too efficient?"
"It's just a coincidence. The problem has not been solved." Standing in a dark corner with his arms folded, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "One has no materials and the other has not been confirmed. It cannot be considered completed at all.
"
"At least it's stronger than us, but we didn't even get through the door." Pointing to the same box at his feet, Gedman, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side, replied calmly: "The City Lord's Mansion is currently heavily guarded.
At the same time, we declined all strangers. There were a lot of people who wanted to meet the city lord with us, but they were all kicked out."
"I don't know what that Reiner is doing inside. Aren't there one-third fewer candidates for the throne now?" Then Duan Qing's expression became tangled: "If he doesn't come out quickly and give instructions, he will hide in there every day.
What's going on inside the city lord's mansion?"
"Didn't the guy who replaced the city lord before give himself a sentence?"
The person who answered his question was Xue Ling Huan Bing. The figure squatting in the corner and observing the outside also appeared in the most conspicuous position of this dark alley: "Since the identity of the city lord was revealed, the credibility of the Free City has declined.
For a long time, the officials and caravans traveling to and from this city have all lowered their status by three points during negotiations, and even the reputation of the candidates for the Twelve Thrones has also dropped a lot."
"Lena has probably adopted a conservative attitude. Regarding matters such as city management, things that can be dealt with passively will be dealt with passively." After saying this, she raised her head and glanced at the city lord's palace not far away from several people: "Although
It won’t solve any problem, but it will at least allow Liberty City to survive on this continent for a while longer.”
"He is a good general, but not a good ruler...?"
After sighing and saying these words, Duan Qing's eyes became disappointed: "I can't say that what he did was wrong, but this idea is tantamount to slow death."
"Although the interior of the city still conforms to the 'free' style, the level of chaos is even greater than before." With her hands folded in front of her body, Ningyu Ninglan, who was still guarding Duan Qing, faced the front of the dark alley.
He looked in the direction of the figures walking back and forth: "Even these city guards who are constantly searching for us seem to be more unscrupulous than before."
"No, they shouldn't be Reiner's men."
Slowly shaking his head, Duan Qing's eyes flashed with light: "Without the status of city lord, Reiner's dominance over this city should not be as strong as before.
The reason why I have been hiding in the city lord's mansion is probably because I can protect myself from attacks by other forces."
"According to your statement, the current Free City is actually a city divided by many forces?" Chao Ri Dongsheng squinted at the city lord's palace he had just been driven out of: "There is no 'emperor', let alone
What’s authoritative enough to say something to someone?”
"These black-clothed guards in front of us are not the city guards of the Free City, right?" Gedman's eyes also showed a bit more contemplation: "Interesting. Whose do they belong to now?
What are you searching for, my men?"
"Either us, or Mengzhu, or something else." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "Although I also have some conjectures of my own, but"
"It's actually very easy to know the answer. Just grab one and ask."
The air in the dark alley changed a bit with the actions of several people. Finally, with the division of labor discussed among them and their preparations, they disappeared into an increasingly dark corner.
The blue-white figure then flashed for a moment in the dark alley near the end of the square, and threw a small piece of gravel towards a patrolling guard not far from this place. There was a faint sound of grunting.
The sound of clothes breaking through the air echoing in the alley later attracted the attention of the guard. With his surprise and subtle steps, he walked towards the entrance of this dark alley. The magical wind appeared out of thin air.
Then someone suddenly appeared behind him, staggering as he leaned out of the corner of the alley: "What?"
"Hey."
The thick hands then pulled his neck skillfully, pulling him into the darkness deep in the alley like a rag doll. Then the ordinary face belonging to Duan Qing also appeared in the mouth that was almost about to open.
The grey-robed magician's slightly contented smile echoed through the gap between the palms that covered his nose, as he struggled so hard, and said, "How is it? Is the magic operation of my hand okay?"
"People have been brought over for you. If you have any questions, please ask immediately." The answer was Xue Ling Huan Bing's sigh: "There is one less person over there, and something abnormal will be discovered soon."
"Don't worry, things like this are common in the City of Freedom. Someone will die every minute." After waving his hand, Duan Qing's voice finally turned to the tied guard: "So please do this
Gentleman, please relax, we have no intention of harming you. As long as you can answer a few questions, we will definitely ensure your safety and will not let you become a part of the siege river."
"Are you the subordinates of the candidates for the Twelve Thrones?"
He looked at the figure who was still pressed to the ground with his face tightly covered, and added in a low voice as if he had just remembered something: "You just need to nod or shake your head."
The other party nodded hurriedly.
"Are they Reiner's men? Eduin's men? Gallo's men? They can't be old Joel's men, right?"
The other party nodded hurriedly again.
"Old Joel disappeared a year ago."
The tip of the spear belonging to Xueling Huanbing was then placed in front of his eyes, accompanied by Duan Qing's voice that gradually turned sinister: "There is no name for him in the Twelve Thrones, and there is no way he has any subordinates.
"
"This is your last chance to say your name."
He squatted in front of the guard, and at the same time motioned to Chao Ri Dongsheng to slowly release his hand: "Who is it?"
"Long"
"Um?"
"Rondall."
