Not many people seem to know the details of the subsequent conversation between Duan Qing and Freya afterwards, but in the last scene of this conversation, which has been secretly observed by various relevant people, both overt and covert, when the great magician left
His expression looked colder and more serious than when he first sat here. He stayed there for a long time without any movement. Duan Qing, who was silent, seemed to have spent a lot of energy digesting what he had said before.
, Wrapped in the cold wind, he kept raising his head, and his eyes looking at the dim sky gradually spread with a low sigh: "——Really, he knows how to exploit my weaknesses every day."
"What happened?"
Heavy footsteps sounded from behind him, and the piercing feeling that accompanied the questioning finally turned into a thick cloak draped over his shoulders: "Did that person make things difficult for you again?"
"Don't you have enough things to embarrass me?" Looking back at the familiar face of Xue Ling Huan Bing, Duan Qing smiled bitterly and tugged on the man's shawl that contained some residual warmth: "But now that I think about it,
, this Qianzhihe’s magic instructor seems to be very similar to the original you, both are people who like to act alone in silence, are reckless and have no regard for the consequences.”
"I, how can I be as unbearable as you say!" So Xue Ling Huan Bing's hands that were originally on his shoulders squeezed hard: "I, I was worried about your safety! Or maybe it's because
I'm angry with you, so...so..."
"Look, let me just say it looks very similar."
Smiling, Duan Qing turned around and held the opponent's hands. Duan Qing took in his eyes the image of a tall female swordsman who had just finished training and was exuding endless heat: "She is naturally concerned about another person in her heart.
The shadow of a person is her sister. Although I haven’t heard much about the deeds of these sisters in daily life, judging from the final result, this great magician is also the kind of being who can risk everything for the sake of the other party."
"The Tower of Tyran has not been reflected in the free world during the time you disappeared. It seems that your original sword hurt the opponent's bones and courage." Gently followed the opponent's strength and put it down.
With his own arms, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a light voice: "Except for the fact that we met them again during that journey in the void not long ago, this tower has never appeared in the surface world of the free world.
Therefore, we have never been able to know any information about this tower."
"But Christine's disappearance did not happen a long time ago, but happened about two or three months ago." Duan Qing sighed and nodded his forehead: "We left Tanzania City and headed to the imperial capital Redkar.
At that time, the great magician appeared in front of us and personally handed Violet, who had lost her soul, into our hands."
"In other words, her disappearance occurred at least after our meeting and before the news of the Mage Council came out." Xue Ling Huan Bing nodded seriously and responded: "Unless the one we saw at that time
There is no evidence of fraud in the last information received by Christine or the Council of Mages."
"There is no need to take this kind of surprise into account."
After pressing his forehead and continuing to think for a while, Duan Qing finally gave up on the idea of finding the root cause: "Even if we find the real point of her disappearance or even the location of her disappearance, the situation is still different from what we are facing at this time.
The right questions aren’t helpful.”
"The people from the Magic Empire did capture the great magician with whom we have a deep connection, and they did use some method to successfully brainwash her." Xue Ling Huan Bing's brows began to frown more and more tightly.
: "Although it has not been verified in the field, her experience is probably the same as mine. After all, Liangchen Meiyu still has that strange stone on her hand."
"Supposedly, the mental diffusion device is only effective for our players. The prerequisite is that the external game cabin safety protection protocol must be lifted in advance." Duan Qing kept tapping his forehead with his fingers: "There are no NPCs in the game like this.
In other words, if you want to forcefully open a person's spirit and implement transformation, the method used must be different from the process we know."
"But in contrast, the free world has its own rules and methods." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied solemnly: "This is an era of swords and magic. Brainwashing and transformation do not need to be too limited to what we lack.
Cognizant, the field of spiritual magic controlled by the Council of Mages alone has terrifying effects produced by level 9 and level 10 magic, not to mention the field of void magic that we have not fully understood yet—"
"No, I have never heard that the power of the void has such an effect."
An unexpected voice joined the whispered conversation between a man and a woman at very close range, and was accompanied by a chaotic shadow that inexplicably emerged from the side of Duan Qing's shoulder. The shadow passed through Duan Qing's shoulder.
The sight of the cloak on Duan Qing's shoulders and the snow spirit fantasy ice finally formed Violet's appearance like a girl using Naxia's figure on Duan Qing's shoulder: "The essence of the void is to devour, to return everything to nothingness.
Existence, even mental magic, should quickly collapse and dissipate the moment it encounters the void."
"But isn't the violet rune magic system we are using now based on the power of the void?" Duan Qing, who seemed to be standing there afraid to move, blinked and responded with a respectful attitude.
An authoritative expert in the field of void: "How to explain this, your great and kind mentor?"
"Your mouth is a bit sweet." The tapping movement appeared above Duan Qing's head for a moment. Violet seemed to know that as a shadow, she could not really teach the other party anything now: "That's why I said that was
The nature of the void, if used properly, it is possible to use these powers to stimulate the effects I want. After all, I will be with these energies for the rest of my life, hahahaha."
"Then great sir, as far as you know, can the power of the void achieve the effect that the two of us just described?" He suppressed his desire to snicker, and the stern face of Xue Ling Huan Bing also put on his face.
He looked like a good kid who was serious and curious about knowledge: "Can the 'magic of the void' control people's hearts?"
"I have not yet used the power of the void to simulate the essence of spiritual magic."
Floating behind Duan Qing like a spirit behind her, Violet held her chin and raised the girl's delicate and beautiful eyebrows slightly: "The essence of spiritual magic is 'spiritual embodiment', which is forced by the user's mental power.
Interfering with the rules of the world, it is so powerful that it can even change the appearance and soul of other living beings. Of course, the ancient great magicians and researchers have not given up on researching other methods and laws to make ordinary spirits
Magicians can also achieve such effects, which is also the origin of advanced magic such as 'mental impact' and 'mental control' that can be recognized as level nine or ten, just like the 'flame hurricane' or rock and earth in the fire magic system.
It’s like a ‘meteor’ in the magic system.”
"Many powerful ancient magics have been lost with the fall of the Magic Empire. The later emergence of the Mages Council was to collect and preserve such knowledge." Speaking of this, Violet sighed regretfully:
"But logically speaking, the materials and knowledge collected by people in the post-magic era should not be comparable to those who call themselves remnants."
"I heard that they also have an organization similar to a parliament, and the magic user who ranks above ten thousand people is called a 'magister'." Xue Ling Huanbing told the information he knew: "Here is
Is there anyone who is good at using spiritual magic, or even someone who has inherited the knowledge of spiritual magic from ancient times?"
"I have never heard of such a person, nor have I come into contact with such a person." Violet denied again: "In my brief contact with that organization, I was responsible for all knowledge about the void.
He didn't look like a magic master in exchange for it. He was stumbling and trembling when reciting the knowledge... Huh."
"There must be some other terrorist force behind that organization."
Finally speaking what he wanted to say, the phantom floating in the air emphasized in a serious voice: "No matter the knowledge of the void or Christine's current situation, none of this can be achieved by the remnants I have come into contact with.
If they can do something easily, there must be a more powerful person - or creature - behind them."
"Is it 'that thing' we encountered in the Tower of Tyran?" The two players present looked at each other for a while, and then they remembered the dark shadow in unison: "It should be the same as the one that appeared over the City of Liberty at that time.
That thing is the same existence, it looks like a condensed body of void, but it has its own consciousness and mind..."
"Oh? Tell me in detail?" The interest in Violet's tone suddenly rose: "What form does it use to manifest its power? What did it say?"
"What it says is crazy and incomprehensible, and the power it uses is the power of the void that we can't deal with at all... Oh my, how long has it been, how can I still remember this kind of thing clearly?" Casual
After answering a few sentences, Duan Qing waved his hand with some distress: "Looking back, I can ask the guys who participated in the war. They might have collected some other useful information, as well as the entertainment outside - cough
Hey, adventurers, as long as there are enough people, maybe someone who has broken into the void will reveal the information they know."
"In your group of adventurers, there may be people who have conquered the field of spiritual magic." As if she was accustomed to the unnaturalness in Duan Qing's words, Violet reminded the other party in a calm voice: "If there really is someone who lives like me.
The adventurers who had come into contact with that organization earlier, with their intelligence and cohesion, might have already produced research results, just like those who occupy this mountain."
"We also know this truth." Xiang Gu smiled as an answer, and Xue Ling Huan Bing then replied firmly: "We also have our clear suspects and reasons. They are also our enemies now. Once we encounter them
, we will definitely do our best to solve everything."
"There must be some connection between void magic and spiritual magic. Otherwise, when the Magic Council, previously known as the Restorers, caused chaos in the principality, they should have produced similar results." He also turned his attention from Xue Ling.
Huan Bing's face turned away, and Duan Qing concluded in a low voice: "Let's talk to Yu Shang about this first. She has so much information about guilds now, and she should have similar access and methods to find out.
Something."
"Byfreya reminds us this time, we have to deal with this problem first, otherwise, whether it is for Christine to help or for our own goals, the chances of winning are extremely slim."
************************************
"This matter, I have been studying this matter for a while."
He casually threw the sweat-soaked towel in his hand into a bucket aside. The young boxer named Duan Shanhe answered Duan Qing's question affirmatively. He had been exercising alone in the corner of the camp.
At this time, his spine was bare and steaming, and he faced the gray-robed magician who came here with his back. After talking about the relevant situation, the de facto leader of the new alliance fell into a busy state again.
He casually threw this question and his instructions to the nearest leading guilds, and Jiang Hu, one of them, then directed Duan Qing to this retreat man under Duan Shanyue's burst of laughter.
In front of the young boxer who was practicing: "During the time when you disappeared for the second time, our Jianghu has fought against that magic empire several times in major battlefields. As the main force to resist their attacks, what you said is
I have encountered this individual several times."
"Is it Christine?" So Duan Qing immediately asked the question: "When did you meet her?"
"He's a very powerful ice magician, but it's not the one you mentioned. I can't be sure."
Half of his back was exposed in the shadow of the tent. This player, who lived a simple life and had an extremely simple tone, seemed to be arranging his clothes and luggage: "Since the Magic Empire is called the Magic Empire, the number of magician enemies among them is naturally the largest.
Yes, it is already very difficult for me to deal with these formidable enemies, and it is even more difficult to identify the identities of these enemies."
"But after thinking about it, these enemies have one characteristic in common." Duan Shanhe raised his head, and his voice paused strangely for a moment: "That is - they don't talk much, right?
The emotional response on the battlefield is also very dull, like a machine that has no emotions and just works hard."
"Based on your current description, this should be the so-called 'controlled' state."
