"Place? What place?"
The situation seemed to be different from what Xu Yu Liushang had imagined - when she raised the same question to the gray-robed magician, the guy who was trying to complete his task responded to her with eyes full of doubts.
, and then after a period of silence, he replied thoughtfully: "Ah, that - I have never considered it."
"Huh?" So this time it was Xu Yuliu's turn to be surprised: "Don't tell me you didn't include this matter in your planning. This is a top priority!"
"No, no, no, this is not a top priority. The top priority is what I'm doing now." Using his chin to gesture to the purple sky filled with aura in front of him, Duan Qing replied casually: "I'm already here.
It has taken nearly twenty days of game time to repair the Violet Field, and the current progress is still not satisfactory... Alas, without Violet's support, this work is still too much for me.
A little heavier."
"Then you should ask her to come."
"Please, you don't really regard her as my dependent, do you?"
Helplessly pouting his lips, Duan Qing withdrew his gaze from Xu Yuliu with a sigh on his face: "I am her magic apprentice, and I have to obey her orders and arrangements in name. How dare I
Going against what she wants to do now, what should I do if I accidentally make her angry and crush me into pieces?"
"Don't worry, what she has done so far should be of great help to us." Having said this, the gray-robed magician's gaze stopped for a moment in the direction of the towering sacred mountain not far away from him: "As long as
If we maintain this relationship well and make her happy, won't we be able to do whatever we want to do?"
"...Then when will you be able to conquer this magical realm in front of you?" He put his hands on his hips and panted angrily for a while, then murmured and threw his long blue hair behind him: "The 'second floor' over there is still waiting for you.
Come for renovation!”
"Well, I've explained this to Fula." Duan Qing blinked his eyes again, and nodded as if he just remembered something: "If you count the time -"
"It should be almost done now."
The rumbling space vibrations once again rose above the floating area where countless players gathered. The violent shaking that was enough to shock everyone also spread to every corner of the place as Duan Qing's words fell. Strange
Changes then began to unfold between the floating island and the transparent space plate along with the emergence of this violent shaking, and finally turned into a sense of pull and distance that could be clearly felt - between guilds and guilds.
In the eyes of the players who were staring at each other with dumbfounded eyes, the "second floor" that supported them and the various projects that had been built, were being built, and were placed on it were moving back and forth with each other at a speed visible to the naked eye, up, down, left, and right.
The rotating and swinging giant shadows then slowly rotated and changed with their shouts and screams, like giant Rubik's cubes being carried around by large elevators: "What...is happening?"
"We have always been practicalists."
Listening with satisfaction to the exclamations of the players who remained on the surface of the floating island, Duan Qing, who no longer looked at the grand scene, replied to himself: "Since this period of time, we have paid attention to the various places on the 'second floor'.
Statistics and consultations were conducted on various territorial divisions and differences in the middle. According to the results of the consultation, it is true that there are many spaces that have been occupied by guilds and irreconcilable conflicts have arisen in the relationship between them."
"We will first make an adjustment in the space field according to the respective demands of those guilds - of course, everything is in the experimental stage now, so the current adjustment does not represent the final conclusion." It was like explaining to everyone who was still in shock.
Duan Qing, who maintained his repairing magic posture, closed his eyes quietly: "After you 'old neighbors' are dismantled and the 'new neighbors' appear, we will ask for your opinions again. If we feel something is wrong again,
, then just keep on revising it.”
"Hey, hey, don't waste resources so casually." Naturally, the first person to answer his remarks was Xu Yuliu, who was standing in front of him at this time: "And why should we accept their opinions and requests casually?
Ah? At least let them handle it themselves, right? After spending so much money, you at least...at least..."
"Don't worry, I will send them the labor bills one by one later."
A smile appeared on his face again, and Duan Qing's purple-filled fingers drew new runes in the air: "Where did we talk just now? Ah, by the way - it's about the arrangements for the stadium, right?
?”
"I don't plan to arrange such an important banquet in a place like ours that doesn't lay eggs... Well, at least we can't arrange it all here." Duan Qing slowly sent the runes to one corner of the purple sky with a look on his face.
He continued solemnly: "I have more or less my own ideas about this matter, and I will discuss it with you when the time comes."
"You have such a convenient ability now. As long as you spend more time designing it, it won't be difficult for us to create a suitable competition venue." He regained his expression as he should when talking about business,
Xuyu Liushang held her chin and explained seriously: "This is the best time to design your own 'home field advantage'."
"'Home advantage' is not calculated like this." Duan Qing yawned helplessly and pointed at his feet casually: "Exciting games are not concluded by this so-called 'geographical advantage'.
Using this method to win is just a bad idea after all, and the free world has all kinds of beautiful places. If used and arranged properly, the games we hold will definitely be more attractive than the League Cup."
"But, but in this case, the issue of safety——"
"So what do you think we are busy with during this time?"
Interrupting the murmuring words that followed, Duan Qing once again condensed a magic rune outlined in purple light into the palm of his hand: "What we are studying now is exactly this kind of security protection method in the space field. As long as
Being able to add our past concepts and experiences into it, this kind of safety protection will definitely be able to play a satisfactory role - Huh? Where is the Dreamer? I also asked him to do some experiments related to safety testing.
, why did he disappear again just this moment?"
"Maybe he went somewhere to be lazy again." The blue-haired swordswoman also followed Duan Qing's swaying gaze and looked around: "Really, that guy is an untrustworthy person at first glance.
How dare you keep him by your side for so long, and even teach him rune magic..."
"It's okay, I know something about him." Duan Qing, who touched his nose and stopped looking, replied lightly: "Bringing him to learn Violet's rune magic is essentially a kind of trial.
After all, if we want to build trust and ask for something in return, we have to give something ‘something’ first, right?”
"That won't work, at least you have to find someone to watch him." He crossed his arms and turned around, whispering and replying with a straight face: "I usually need to keep running back and forth online and offline, otherwise I would have been suspicious.
It’s a lesson the guy will never forget.”
"Isn't there Qian Zhihe who is also following her, although she has been missing during this period." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I heard that it was because her mentor Freya had no news.
, she has been ignoring her during this period, leading her Mage Council team all over the hillside to find the other party’s whereabouts - Huh?"
"It's really crazy. It's said that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."
Putting his palms on his eyebrows, Duan Qing made a strange pose and shouted to the red-haired girl who suddenly appeared in front of him: "What, the person has been found?"
"Yeah." Qianzhihe, who seemed a little disappointed and walked up slowly with the red lotus staff in his arms, responded to Duan Qing's question with his eyes revealed in his hood: "I found it, but -"
"But what?"
"No, it's nothing."
Her body seemed a little shrinking. The Red Lotus Witch, who was always fearless, flashed her eyes and words in front of Duan Qing: "I... we found her near the ruins left before approaching the camp. It seemed like there was nothing.
Abnormal, we asked her why she disappeared for so long, she said, she said..."
"She said she returned to the Free Continent earlier and had some things to deal with." Qianzhihe rubbed his hands uneasily and tried to hide something, his voice seemed a little confused and trembling: "Because it was delayed for some time,
She also lost the guidance of the black hole passage for some reason, so she spent a lot of effort to get back here and appeared in the area of our camp where she had not slipped before."
"It sounds very reasonable."
As if he sensed an ominous feeling from the expression and words of the girl in front of him, Duan Qing secretly exchanged glances with Xuyu Liushang who was close at hand, and the gray-robed magician then leaned down with a smile of his own.
, touched Qian Zhihe's somewhat dodgy head: "But it's always a good thing to show up safely. You can also put away your worries for this period of time. What if something happens to this great magician who insists on staying here?
, I don’t know how I should face the entire Council of Mages... Where is she now?"
"Can I meet her?"
The atmosphere seemed to become a little colder with the appearance of these words. The red-haired girl who fell silent for a while nodded her head: "But, yes, she has been unwilling to talk since she came back. Just arrange it for her before we do it."
Rest at the location of the camp, but——"
"But the new camp is being restored, and the tent she lives in may not have been arranged yet." Duan Qing replaced what the other party originally wanted to say, and answered with a smile, and said calmly to the side.
Xuyu Liushang winked: "I understand, I will get this done as quickly as possible."
"A distinguished guest like her cannot be ignored easily by us."
************************************
"……I see."
Some time later, in the corner of the camp, Duan Qing found the figure of Freya of Ice Flame. However, Thousand-Zhihe, who seemed to be frightened, did not come with Duan Qing to meet this watcher again this time.
The haggard and cold great magician went up: "I will explain this matter to the Council of Mages. Based on the relationship between you and Wiggins, he should also nod in agreement."
"That's good." Sitting opposite the great magician, Duan Qing replied pleasantly: "It would be best if this matter could get the support of the Magic Council. I guarantee in my name that the Magic Council will definitely
It will also be rewarded under our arrangements, gaining a large number of adventurer fans and an injection of fresh blood."
"I hope so." Freya, who seemed to have no concern for the topic Duan Qing was talking about at this time and covered her face with a hood, just shook her head lightly: "Then - if there is nothing else, please
Go back, I need to rest now."
"Uh, well..."
His eyes were forced back by the cold atmosphere here, but at this time he still refused to give up and looked around at the figures of the players standing on the far side. Duan Qing finally smiled bitterly and held up his face: "I want to say
If there are no other things, it is naturally false. After all, there seems to be something wrong with you now...ahem!"
"Let me ask this bluntly: Have you met her?"
The body leaned forward slightly, and Duan Qing asked in a low voice tentatively. The latter exuded a colder and more terrifying aura, and then suddenly relaxed after a period of time: "It seems that you and those inferior
Unlike other adventurers, you can feel the residual aura on my body."
"Of course, I also have Violet here who talks to me every day." Duan Qing raised his finger and pointed above his head: "Don't forget what I said when we met before: staying in the void world.
Creatures that can successfully survive after a long period of time are no different from the brightest magic light bulb in the eyes of people like us who can recognize the breath of void."
"This is one of the reasons why I chose to stay here. After all, if I do this kind of thing in the Sky City, I will inevitably be discovered by those rigid old guys." Freya answered, clenching her fists tighter and tighter.
There was also a bit of gritted teeth in the voice: "One of the members of the Seven-person Council has been missing for such a long time, but they have no expression or suspicion. They stay in their respective laboratories every day, and in the end they have to worry about them.
My own safety! This kind of guy! And this kind of parliament—"
"Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to hear the next words." Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hand and suppressed the increasingly high-pitched screams of the agitated great magician: "Okay.
, I have a general understanding of the situation, and the next step is to solve the problem."
"Can you tell me your current plans?"
