"How are you? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine. Except for the negative effect of 'reducing the upper limit of physical strength' caused by excessive physical exertion, all other injuries are fine - what is this?"
"Healing potion, and physical recovery potion, try it out and see how it works."
"I, I don't want it! Why do you still have so many? You won't use that method again, will you?"
Then there was a low-pitched conversation between two players in the dark underground cave. The space that gradually became quiet was filled with only the deliberately lowered voices of these two people. However, judging from the content of the conversation between these two people, this
The atmosphere between the two people did not seem to be as good as it was at the beginning: "Hey, can you trust me a little more? These are real magic potions, pollution-free and without any added preservatives!"
"Isn't it because you have too many criminal records? And you are not targeting our own people, but you are so generous to outsiders like Baibu Wushuang!"
"Doesn't that count as one of our own? If we can meet a stranger like him in a foreign land like the Wind Continent, isn't he worthy of being treated with the same attitude as we would treat an old friend? What lonely people need is mutual help.
!”
"He is not alone anymore. There is Lufen Chamber of Commerce behind him. Instead of worrying about that guy's safety and accidentally being sold by the chamber of commerce, you might as well worry more about your physical condition and show less unnecessary kindness.
a little……"
"You two."
Finally speaking out to interrupt the flirting theory between the two people, the dragon lady named Fula finally opened her eyes again. She looked at the two people who had stopped gesticulating with each other and huddled in place.
The player in the direction sighed softly, and the smile revealed between the golden divine light also shrunk slightly: "It's really too noisy."
"Sorry for disturbing your rest." Duan Qing also bowed and apologized: "But... what's wrong with you? Why are you injured too?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little overworked." Fulla, who shook her head and sat on her knees at the far end of the dark space, replied in a low voice in a calm tone: "I have been traveling back and forth between different ruins during this time.
Later, I took you two on a forced space jump, so the loss of magic power was a bit big."
"Yes, is that so?" Duan Qing scratched the back of his head and continued in an awkward voice: "Before, we were talking about things that you never showed up. It turns out that you have been busy somewhere else.
It doesn’t stop.”
"Fortunately, at least a lot of clues have been discovered recently." A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth for a moment, and Fula, who regained her composure again, continued in a low voice: "The northern end of Circe, the upper reaches of the Barro River, the Myridao Hollow, and the
There is this place...I have also been to the ruins of the cities you provided before, and they indeed hide many very interesting things."
"It seems that you have made a lot of progress here." Duan Qing's scratching of his head became a little awkward: "It's not like us, who have been wandering around in the same place for so long, and finally returned.
Reaching such a tragic end—well, where are Goldman and the others?"
"How can we know whether they are alive or dead when we can't even take care of ourselves?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who shook his head and faced Duan Qing's questioning expression, replied helplessly: "I hope they are all still alive.
"
"——I know what you want to ask, but you may not think too much of me." Facing Duan Qing's secretly looking eyes, Fula's expression also showed a trace of hesitation.
: "Do you think I can really use unlimited space jumps? Even if I am a dragon, my magic power is not unlimited, let alone-"
"The amount of magic power required to carry an object for teleportation is very different from the amount of magic power I consume for teleportation."
The words paused for a moment, and the dragon lady gradually turned her head: "I just took you two living beings to move. Even the powerful magic power of the dragon clan was almost exhausted by me."
"Uh, I'm really sorry." Duan Qing lowered his head in the direction of the other person, and replied apologetically: "Thank you again for your rescue, otherwise we would really have died in this foreign country.
"
"I just happened to come here and came to the rescue along the way." She turned her head and turned her gaze to the side. Fula's originally emotionless face seemed to have changed a bit because of Duan Qing's thanks: "If you really
If you are grateful, just stay aside and let me rest a little."
"Don't worry, we will make sure not to make any noise again. Even if you rest, that's not right." Duan Qing, who was still lowered, suddenly raised his head, and Duan Qing, who seemed to have just discovered some kind of problem, then turned to Xue Ling.
Huan Bing asked aloud: "So we are trapped here now?"
"Before Fula fully recovered, the situation seemed to be like this." Looking at the face of the dragon woman who closed her eyes again and fell into a state of concentration, Xueling Huanbing reached out and lifted Duan Qing back from the side of the cave: "
Let's just stay here honestly. Even if we force ourselves out, it would be impossible for the two of us to survive that storm."
"Will the storm continue to blow?" Duan Qing's eyes widened, and the voice he just wanted to raise was slowly withdrawn amidst Xue Ling Huanbing's glaring warning expression: "That Su clan outside
what to do?"
"At this point, we don't have the energy to care about what they do." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who also sat back down with a low sigh, whispered softly: "Don't worry, since this is the grassland that once prospered.
Tribe, they should not be annihilated in this sudden storm."
"Yes, at this point, we can only choose to believe Surtu." Duan Qing shook his head, put away his arms, and then hunched over and looked around: "Well...
In other words, this was once an area protected and suppressed by the Wind Stone, right?"
"According to Fulla, all the wind stones here have been dug away."
Following Duan Qing's words and looking in the direction of the cave that revealed a huge hole, Xue Ling Huan Bing's brows tightened slightly: "Without the protection of the Wind Stone, the storm here will become so great.
.”
"Let's reason again." Then Duan Qing also murmured: "This ruins - or the area around this area has been disturbed by powerful storms. The reason why it did not end up being razed is also
It’s because it’s protected by the Wind Stone.”
"Then in order to achieve a certain purpose, someone took away all the wind stones here and replaced them with a wind protective barrier." A deep light gradually appeared in his eyes, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice also changed.
He became more serious: "We broke into this ruins and unintentionally destroyed the windproof barrier, so everything that was originally arranged was triggered, and we and the ruins suffered together - has the process been restored?
Question?"
"It's really hard for those guys behind the scenes. In order to catch us all, they actually used such a huge scene and effort." Duan Qing nodded his head, curled his lips and replied in a low voice: "But in terms of effect,
This method can be used without anyone noticing, and we and the Sioux people can be dealt with in a very natural way."
"We don't have any evidence now, but we can temporarily assume that the facts are like this." Crossing his arms, Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression gradually became serious: "Then finally - based on the above established facts.
, who is the mastermind behind all this?”
"Judging from the means required to do all this, if you want to arrange all this in advance, you must have an understanding of the situation of this ruins." Spreading his hands, Duan Qing's eyes began to change.
De Shen said: "But if you think about it from the perspective of purpose, there are only a few tribes who want to target us, the Nashi tribe, the Nake tribe, or potentially those who have old grudges with the Nasu tribe...
"
"And the Magic Empire and the Alliance of Destiny."
After saying the last few names, Duan Qing's brows began to wrinkle more and more tightly: "If it's the latter, the situation will be a bit tricky."
"Yes, the bodies of these guys are too high." Xue Ling Huan Bing also replied in a low voice: "We are not afraid of death, but those people of the Su tribe cannot withstand such a huge offensive.
The probability of total annihilation is extremely high.”
"It can be seen from the previous battle with the Nashi tribe that there must be someone behind them." After saying this, Duan Qing also pointed to a certain direction above the cave: "That Shi Ayun later
The description further illustrates this point, how could a normal tribe look like that?"
"And now we are in conflict with the Nako tribe. If the Nako tribe resents us because of this, and unites to deal with the already dilapidated Nasu tribe -"
The atmosphere of the discussion became heavier and heavier as the words of the two people spoke, and finally became completely quiet as the expressions on their brows were furrowed. The gray-robed magician, whose whole body seemed to be bunched together, then also
As if he wanted to break the heavy suffocation on his body, he stretched out his arms vigorously: "Forget it, it's useless to think too much. For now, just take it one step at a time."
"It's natural for the boat to reach the bridge." He patted Xue Ling Huan Bing's shoulder and showed a confident smile at the other party: "When we really find the murderers, we will naturally find a way to deal with them.
.”
"That's easy to say." She slapped the opponent's hand away with her mouth curled. Xueling Huanbing then pointed her finger behind Duan Qing: "Then you can tell us what we should do now? Let alone the bridge, Lianlu
Not even a little bit."
"Since they have a way to transport the Wind Stone without anyone noticing, then there must be some way to transport the stone away without destroying the terrain." Quietly arriving in front of the obvious cave depression, Duan Qing's
But his eyes couldn't help but fall in the direction of Fula: "It's not unfounded to find such a place. She must know something, but -"
"We'd better look for it ourselves, don't disturb our legs." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who interrupted Duan Qing's sight and moved forward, said in a low voice: "We are the ones who have nothing to do anyway."
"Is your injury okay?" Duan Qing, who answered her, then subconsciously asked the question: "I think it's better for you to rest with Fula."
"I'm not good at getting along with dragons." Xueling Huanbing shook her head and didn't respond to her gaze. She had already begun to check up and down the cave's recesses: "Instead of being with that lady, I might as well continue to stare at you.
It's better to save you from causing any big trouble."
"Hey, is my image in your mind that bad?" Unconsciously responding to the other party's words, Duan Qing's hands began to fumble as he looked up and down: "Even if I am a born misfortune,
The so-called troubles also coexist with opportunities. Maybe this impending disaster can bring us more unexpected wealth... Hmm."
"There are indeed some human traces."
His fingers stopped in the dark corner of the depression, and Duan Qing's brows slowly wrinkled again: "There are traces of digging in the mud and rocks, and there are even traces of magic. They should have used tools to remove the things first.
Take it out and transport it away with the help of magic."
"But if that's the case, the things they transported seemed to be very big." Duan Qing squatted down in front of the deepest depression in the cave and took a visual inspection of the entire range of artificial traces: "It seems that there is a person as tall as the wind -
Is there such a big wind stone on the continent?"
"If there is such a large wind stone, it becomes a lot natural why this ruins cannot be disturbed by strong winds." He shook his head in response to Duan Qing's words, and the voice of Xueling Huanbing also stopped in front of the wall: "
But I’m not sure whether such a large wind stone originally existed here... Huh?”
"What is this?" She pointed to the dim end in front of her, her eyes resting on a round hole the size of a finger: "Is it a trace left when they dug it? Or -"
"I feel the residual magic aura."
Following the other party's guidance, he discovered the small hole. Duan Qing's fingers paused for a moment in front of the smooth and flat hole: "It's not the breath left by temporary spell casting, but the breath of the magic circuit."
"Magic circle? They once set up a magic circle here?"
"Although I have little talent and knowledge, I have never seen this kind of magic circle drawn as a straight line." It seemed that the structure extending from the back of the small hole in front of me had been outlined from the sensed magic energy. I closed my eyes and pondered for a while.
Duan Qing, who was silent at the time, replied as if talking to himself: "It doesn't matter if it's a circuit, a magic device, or part of a large composite magic circle..."
"We'll know after we take a look."
He shook his head, and a touch of earth-yellow magic light emerged from the arm pressing on the surface of the hole.
"Quicksand Technique."
