The concentrated energy seemed to be in a trance for a moment. Xueling Huanbing, who was holding a round shield and holding on to the spot, suddenly turned her head. She was already scarred all over and seemed to be attracted by this strange feeling that had been delayed for a moment.
, suddenly looking towards the corner of the white space that was previously opened up. The light and shadow of the broken bridge that should have been at that location disappeared in front of her eyes like illusory bubbles, replaced by the hazy rain and fog scene that was the same as the surrounding one.
, the bewildered white-haired woman then slowly loosened her tight challenge posture, trying hard to control her constantly fluttering figure and gradually stabilize it: "What happened?"
"Duan Qing? Duan Qing!"
It seemed that a long time passed in endless silence, and the woman who received no response at all looked slightly panicked for a moment: "Where are you? Are you still alive?"
"hateful."
She lowered her head and waited quietly for a while while floating in the white mist. At this time, no echo of the woman's gradually rising shouts came back from the blank space, not even those who should have surrounded her.
The enemies of Wings of Freedom did not even respond at this time: "It seems like it is the same as that time again."
"I hope you won't leave me with any more problems this time."
Tightening the white dagger in her other hand, she looked towards the direction where the loud bell had sounded before. As if she was wandering in a sea of white mist, the woman then moved forward at an extremely slow speed.
He stumbled and swam towards the front of the isolated island where Duan Qing should be located in his impression. The long distance and the time that could not be felt passed later disappeared little by little behind the white-haired woman as she moved forward slowly, and the silent atmosphere
The woman's silent expression became even colder. The unchanged white mist space and the lack of guidance from the bells filled the seemingly lifeless journey of Xue Ling Huan Bing.
All around, there was an increasingly obvious invisible pressure attacking her struggling figure: "There are no reference objects, no clues, and even the direction cannot be determined."
"I won't get lost."
Forcibly suppressing his anxious mood, Xueling Huanbing finally stopped and pursed his lips hard because of his clenched teeth: "And based on the previous distance, even if the direction is not wrong, based on the current situation,
With such speed, it’s almost impossible to swim to that place...Hey!”
"Hello!"
She took a deep breath, and then shouted a deliberately elongated call around her location: "Is there anyone there? Can anyone hear it?"
"Anyone can! Come out and respond!"
Panic spread in her heart as the dead silence continued. She was hoarse and then slowly relaxed her breath as if giving up: "What is this, a small dark room? If you are locked in a place like this from now on -
"
"No, you have to calm down, Ling Bing."
The ordinary face of a man in gray robes smiling at her flashed through her mind. Xue Ling Huan Bing patted her cheek with her hand and then forced herself to calm down: "There will always be a way.
There will always be a way."
"Even if I have come out of a place like the other world, the trouble in front of me is nothing." She opened her character panel, and her eyes began to pass over each character's data: "There must be some kind of crack.
Method! The current known situation is that the world we are in is a phantom delivered to reality by the Tower of Tyran, and then we forced our way in during the previous battle - who?"
She seemed to have discovered something strange. She was about to be immersed in a state of hard thinking. She suddenly raised her head alertly, and then a human-shaped black shadow appeared in front of the white mist, blurry and hazy.
With a look like that, he vaguely approached the location of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "...Hmm."
"Is there anyone?"
The movement that seemed to be banging something hard paused slightly, and the vague and hazy figure slowly raised its head: "I'm sorry, please give way."
"We are building roads now."
The figure pointed behind him, and at the same time whispered to Xue Ling Huan Bing in a nonchalant tone. Countless similarly blurry figures appeared in the dispersing white mist as he pointed back.
Behind them, a long straight shadow that lined up with each other appeared in the extended field of vision of Xueling Huanbing: "This, this is..."
"Isn't this the Bridge of Miracles?"
The hazy and dead white fog suddenly spread out as she shouted, and the road that belonged to the blurred figures and the road they built together at their feet also reflected in her with the suddenly clear noise.
In his eyes, the bridge pillars erected under the thick soil and the bridge body being slowly erected amidst the hustle and bustle were also stretched out at this time with the enthusiastic work of these people in the construction site, and the fog was dispelled.
In the distance, workers carrying materials and tools began to pass by Xue Ling Huan Bing's surprised face again and again: "This, this... no, that... but..."
"I said."
As the sense of smell filled with the smell of sweat and dust gradually became clearer, the figure that first appeared in the white mist blocking the front of Xueling Huanbing wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up: "
I said, can you give me some permission? We are currently under construction."
"——Duan Qing?"
The look of surprise quickly changed to surprise. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who recognized the figure in front of her, threw herself in front of the figure with a smile: "Duan Qing! It's really you! I thought I would never find you again.
!You, why are you dressed like this?"
"Uh, this lady."
With his shoulders held tightly by the other party, his body did not dare to make any movement. The dust on the face of the worker whom Xueling Huanbing called Duan Qing also gathered together with his tangled expression: "Although I don't know
How do you know my name, but... we probably don't know each other, right?"
"You, what did you say?" The surprise in his eyes quickly faded, and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who let go of his hands, took a step back: "You, don't you recognize me? I am Xue Ling Huan Bing!
"
"Sorry, I haven't heard of this name." Looking at the other person with eyes full of confusion and exhaustion, the worker known as Duan Qing sighed forcefully: "Did you get the wrong person? Just like before, he appeared inexplicably.
Just like the two or three strange guys in front of me..."
"How could you admit the wrong person?" With an angry look on his face, Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice involuntarily amplified a bit: "Don't mention that you changed your hairstyle and outfit, even if you turned into ashes, I--
—”
"--Wait a moment."
The scene where she was once troubled by hallucinations and finally became the Dark Witch suddenly flashed through her mind. Xue Ling Huan Bing's words suddenly stopped. She waved her arms hastily and then silently retracted her hand. Originally,
The slightly excited expression gradually returned to its original calmness: "You, you are... no."
"It seems like I should start."
She bowed slightly and saluted, with one hand on her chest, she then placed the shield in front of her: "I am Xueling Huanbing, the leader of the Qingling Adventure Group, and the captain of Linyuan Duanshui. I wonder if you are listening.
Did you know this name?"
"So he's an adventurer."
The indifferent and dull eyes changed for a moment, and the worker who looked like Duan Qing showed his smile again: "Did the foreman hire him to help us? That's great. According to the current progress, we
It is almost impossible to complete the construction within the construction period.”
"That's right, that's right." Nodding along with the other party's words, Xueling Huanbing replied in a low voice: "We are adventurers who came to help you, and we have just arrived here, so... uh,
Can you tell us a little bit about the project you are building?"
"Okay, but we are in a hurry now." He stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead again. The man who looked like Duan Qing turned around and pointed towards the fiery scene that was still busy around the two of them: "This is Jean Hai
The major project entrusted to us by Lord Mu is a bridge that can connect the continent of Cores and the continent of Imuria. After we complete the infrastructure, people from the Ministry of Magic will be responsible for building this bridge, which is several hundred miles long.
The floating magic circle and the solidification magic circle are arranged...what's your expression?"
"A few hundred miles is only the part we are responsible for." He looked at the increasingly strange expression on Xue Ling Huan Bing's face, and the words he was explaining became cheerful: "The total length of this bridge is several kilometers.
Thousands of miles away, it is a large-scale project jointly funded by several countries. People from the Ministry of Magic have said that if it is not completed and the cataclysm comes, the access between these countries will be completely cut off."
"Thousands of miles? Just like us?" Xueling Huanbing, who pointed at each other as if he didn't know where to start, couldn't help but focus on the people who were still shouting around these straight roads.
On those workers: “How is this possible?”
"Why, you don't think it's possible?" With his hands on his waist, the worker who looked like Duan Qing put on a confident expression on his vicissitudes of life: "Don't underestimate us Rand people, we have the most high-end and most advanced equipment in the continent.
We are skilled in construction magic technology, and our efficiency in paving roads and bridges is more than ten times that of others! After our project is completed, we will also go to support the Xisuo people in the west!"
"So many people are building this bridge."
Taking a deep breath, Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression also returned to its unique calmness: "But if it is really built, what method will people on the mainland use to travel back and forth?"
"Of course, this kind of problem is something that the adults of the Ministry of Magic should think about." The vitality in his eyes showed more, and the worker who looked like Duan Qing smiled and grinned: "For example, using a multi-level teleportation circle,
Or maybe it’s a magic transfer station or something like that…”
“How about using the train?”
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and Xue Ling Huan Bing suddenly said: "Use a metal vehicle driven by magic to lay a track on the road of this bridge, or a magic circuit similar to the track -"
“This is a good method!”
A shout of surprise then interrupted her meditation, accompanied by "Duan Qing"'s action of clapping his hands and pointing at the Snow Spirit Magic Ice: "Not only can the magic circuit be fixed, but it also saves the cost of transmitting magic.
! Oops, he is indeed the adventurer who is closest to the common people, but his ideas are different from those of the adults above!"
"I'm going to talk to Foreman Wallis and let everyone take a look at this idea." He slapped the soil on his hands vigorously, and then the man who looked like a worker looked anxious.
He walked patiently towards the back of Xueling Huanbing: "Your name is Lingxue, right? It's a very good name! Just wait here, I'll be back soon."
"Ling, Lingxue?" Xue Ling Huan Bing almost bit her tongue and coughed hard on her throat: "I, didn't I say that I am called Xue Ling Huan - um."
Looking at the strange gaze revealed by the other party, the white-haired woman finally swallowed back what she had not finished saying: "No, it's nothing... Do you need me to do anything?"
"Ah, that's right." Duan Qing, who patted his forehead and looked at the other party, then raised his hand as if he remembered something: "In order to be happy, I forgot the most basic question.
Here you go...here."
"You should first get familiar with my work."
He thrust an extremely exquisite shovel into Xue Ling Huan Bing's hand, carefully avoiding the movement of the opponent's white long coat. At this time, it was particularly obvious in Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes: "My task at hand
It's also very heavy. If you can help me, I'd be very grateful."
"Uh, wait, wait."
After staring at the tool in his hand for a long time, Xue Ling Huan Bing raised his head in panic: "I don't know how to use this thing, you--"
The still fiery scene flashed past the white-haired woman's field of vision along with the male and female workers who kept passing by her. The figure of the man who looked like Duan Qing who was originally talking to her had disappeared into the vast crowd, and in her mind
After flashing through countless chaotic thoughts, she finally put away her panic face, looked at the tool in her hand and fell into deep thinking: "Is it an illusion? It's the same as what happened before us? What does this mean?
What does this mean?"
"what should I do?"
Her brows furrowed slightly, and she carefully observed the excitement and noise caused by other workers around her. Her eyes that kept scanning back and forth finally stopped right in front of her, where "Duan Qing" first appeared in front of her.
Position: "Maybe——"
"Maybe I should-"
She walked forward, her body full of scars and exhaustion slowly squatting beside the bridge where "Duan Qing" was busy before. The white palm that she slowly extended also picked up a piece of bricks neatly placed next to it.
, together with the eyes still full of doubts, were placed on the incomplete wall where the other party was busy previously.
