“I haven’t been to this city for a while, and I feel like the whole city has changed a lot.”
No longer paying attention to the countless vague glances coming from behind, Duan Qing pushed open the door and left this place. The sound of the creaking wooden door turning seemed extremely faint in the noisy streets of Freedom City, and even
The mysterious figure also wrapped in black that followed him out of here became much less obvious: "Although this place is not a 'homeland' in the first place, strictly speaking, the Carlo Village of the Empire is mine.
Where is my hometown?"
"According to your human concept, 'city' is just one of the settlements built by various human beings from different regions. It's just that it has more comprehensive supply and demand and safer shelter." He raised his head slightly.
On his own head, the slender figure following Duan Qing dropped the golden hair in the cloak a little: "There is no such concept within the Dragon Clan. Except for some existences that can pose a threat, anywhere on the continent
They can all become our hometown and home.”
"Is this the self-confidence of a strong man?" Duan Qing pressed his forehead and sighed helplessly: "This may be the reason why the dragon clan in the ancient adventure period was forced to a remote corner."
"That is the original sin caused by greed and ignorance, not the original sin of our dragon clan." The mysterious figure shook his head and replied: "Of course, that was also what our ancestors experienced thousands of years ago. I can't stand where I am.
Give an accurate evaluation from a true standpoint.”
"No, you're probably right."
Walking in the dim streets, Duan Qing answered affirmatively without looking back: "Whether you are an adventurer in the ancient adventure era or an adventurer today, the common idea of everyone is to 'become stronger'. Adventurers
The so-called satisfaction of curiosity is at best the driving force for some adventurers. More people go there to get rich, hoping to satisfy their selfish desires through adventure or to demonstrate their individual strength, so as to compete with other human beings - using
From your point of view, it is competition among the same race - gaining advantages in these processes."
"Are you referring to competition among spouses?" The pair of bright eyes exposed under the dark cloak blinked, and then the deep voice of the Dragon Clan lady, who seemed to be enlightened, came out: "The same is true for competition within the Dragon Clan.
Only powerful dragons often have the right to choose their mates, and the powerful black dragon clan will even rely on their own strength to go to other dragon clans to snatch mates."
"Speaking of which, you haven't talked about the real reason why you ran away from the Golden Dragon Clan." Duan Qing, who seemed to have remembered something, stopped and turned around with a concerned look on his face: "You still want to stick to the story of looking for your clan members?
?"
"...There is nothing wrong with the story itself, but there are some unexplained parts." She lowered her head to hide her bright eyes, and the slender dragon lady shook her head lightly and said, "But I don't
I never thought that the departure of the Black Dragon clan would have such a big impact on this world..."
The voice of the following sentences became smaller and smaller, accompanied by the silence of the slender figure who was lost in thoughts and stopped talking. Duan Qing, who noticed this, decided not to continue.
He asked, but continued the topic just now: "In short, you dragons are full of treasures. When any adventurer sees you, it will be like seeing a treasure house. If it is not necessary, it is better not to reveal your identity.
"
"Is that why you dressed me up like this, and even asked me to try not to speak aloud while following you?" Breaking free from her own thoughts, Fulla pointed to her face: "And
You still want to call me 'Ola'?"
"Why, it doesn't sound good?" A smile appeared on Duan Qing's face: "I think this name sounds better than Fula. At least it sounds more heroic and fits your current temperament."
"The name taboos of the dragon clan are much more complicated than you think, and cannot be changed easily." The voice replied coldly, and then Fulla's expression gradually melted away like warm ice and snow: "But since I am
As a member of your adventure group, it’s time to pretend again, so just follow the rules of mortals like you.”
"It is our honor to be friends with a real golden dragon." After a gentle salute, Duan Qing turned around and continued walking to a corner of the city: "You have also helped me during the past period.
I've done a lot of work for us, but I haven't solved the 'dragon-breaking power' that's bothering you. I'm really sorry."
"I'm used to the power of that curse."
Following Duan Qing and feeling the human fireworks coming from the noisy city, Fulla's eyes followed her head moving left and right and kept patrolling every corner of the streets: "All the problems in this world are inherently
It cannot be solved by strength alone. You mortal companions can help me gain a foothold in human society instead of becoming some evil leader who was conquered and captured in the past stories. This is the greatest help in itself, and...
…”
"Walking with a curse on your back is not necessarily a kind of exercise for me." The palms hidden under the wide black robe were slightly clenched, and Fulla's eyes lowered involuntarily: "I can feel something that I haven't felt in a long time.
I have experienced the sense of 'breakthrough'. If I can break this barrier, my ability may be able to break through the shackles again."
"Really? That's a blessing in disguise." Touching his nose, Duan Qing laughed a few times in a low voice: "But things like 'weight-bearing training' are often chosen only when we are very sure.
A kind of routine, judging from the current situation——"
"Whether we can survive the challenges posed by this city is a question for us."
The two figures who were talking had already reached the depths of the city as they moved forward. The noise and bright lights shrouding the streets gradually disappeared into the darkness as they moved forward. The rustling sounds also accompanied Duan Qing's words.
The falling objects appeared in front and behind their position, instantly blocking the entrance and exit of this dark alley: "Two."
"You came to your door so quickly?"
When Fula behind her instantly fell silent, Duan Qing, who was still smiling bitterly to himself, took the lead in raising his arms to declare his innocence: "We are just businessmen passing by here. I don't know where we offended several elder brothers and sisters-in-law.
?”
"How many words did you have with the best person in the world in the 'Rakugo Night' tavern before?" Then a low-pitched warning voice from one of them came from the end of the dark alley that could not be distinguished: "Although I don't know you
Where do you come from, but I still advise you: don’t get too close to those people.”
"Hey, this guy seems to want to cut off our business." He pointed in the direction ahead and laughed. Duan Qing, who was tilting his head, also put away the smile on his face: "Then what if I don't agree? "
"Do you still have a choice?"
After roaring these words, the black figures surrounding him started to move like a surging tide: "Come on! Catch them alive!"
The hum of magic suddenly appeared just before two inconsistent tides were about to flood the entire dark alley, accompanied by two obscure lights that suddenly flashed. The attacker who noticed this wave of magic then followed He also reacted instantly, and despite the screams of some of his companions who were attacked, he spilled the scroll in his arms: "Anti-magic barrier!"
"Well, the villains here are professional enough. I even smelled the soundproof barrier." Looking at the scene of the earthen wall in his hand being wiped out by the anti-magic film, he stopped his movements. Duan Qing also took two steps back: "Businessmen in the mainland usually bring guards and mercenaries, and those who move freely are probably magicians who rely on their abilities to protect themselves - you The preparations and responses are very thorough, but..."
"Ola, I leave it to you."
The sound of tearing cloth came from behind Duan Qing. One of the long swords that was about to hit his back was directly caught by a slender figure who suddenly appeared, and it emerged from under the flying black robe fragments. He punched a white and slender fist, and the seemingly non-threatening punch turned the attacker's sword body and himself into flying meteors: "——Crab! Damn it...ahhhhhh! "
It was also the sound of tearing, but this time it was obviously not as simple as "tearing cloth". The pungent blood then flew around the dark streets as another screaming player fell. All that flashed through was a pair of extremely bright golden eyes: "It's really——"
"My body has no strength."
The silent killings continued, but it was Duan Qing who was wrapped in these killings who said this. Duan Qing, who was slapping his hands, seemed to have been accustomed to such bloody scenes, and spoke with a calm voice. Looking at the people involved in this bloody storm: "Using numerical superiority to try to win a hand-to-hand victory - this strategy can indeed prevail in most situations, but it will still happen. Exceptions like us.”
"...the old crab's power has reached over 40 points. Being able to knock him away with his sword in one blow is really not something that a normal creature can do." He struggled to escape from the indistinguishable claws in front of him. The storm was set off, and the remaining attackers gritted their teeth bitterly: "The wind is tight, pull!"
"Stop chasing." Duan Qing stopped the figure who wanted to follow him, and pointed around the anti-magic barrier that had not dissipated: "If you leave me alone, I really can't save my life. It’s over.”
"Didn't Violet teach you the precautionary measures a long time ago? What are you afraid of with this threat?" She said such words disdainfully, but Fulla still walked back from the direction of the street and alley obediently: "Their power to isolate elements is just a borrowed power, and it shouldn't pose any threat to rune magic."
"I just don't want to expose my trump card so early."
Seeing that the opponent was torn apart by the previous sword, but his intact body was still exposed between the gaps in the cloth strips, Duan Qing helplessly reached into his arms and threw a new large cloak between the two of them.
: "Although rune magic is not famous in the mainland, people with good knowledge can still identify its origin at a glance. By then, even a fool can guess the identities of the two of us."
"Do you really care so much about your identity?" After taking over the other party's large black robe, a trace of doubt flashed in Fulla's eyes: "You want me to specially create a space refraction magic on your head that can follow the movement...
…What use does this do in concealing your identity and mine?”
"Well... ahem, this involves some unique internal rules of our adventurers." Duan Qing brushed off the topic with some embarrassment, and explained casually in a low voice: "Anyway, you just need to know,
Without the help of this little trick of yours, my identity would be exposed in an instant—well."
"Although the current situation seems to have not changed much."
Above the dark alley littered with corpses, a dark figure that was also difficult to identify in the night was standing alone at the end of Duan Qing's raised field of vision. The far distance made the ID name above the figure's head difficult to identify, but it was
It didn't seem to stop Duan Qing from calling out the other person's purpose: "Hi, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Duan Tianfeng." The night wind blew the figure around, making a sound of hunting wind. The self-introduction from the figure seemed to reach Duan Qing's ears without any hindrance:
"I am Prosecutor No. 420023 of the Alliance. Just call me 'Instructor'."
"The prosecutor of the Alliance came to the door again, and it was the first time I left the Wind Continent and came here through the teleportation channel." Duan Qing pointed at his feet after blocking Fula's move to step forward.
The blood that has not yet dissipated: "Why not take action when they come to attack?"
"We noticed an abnormality in the space fluctuations, so we just rushed here." Weiwei spread his hands and explained, and the vague voice above answered calmly: "Mr. Duan has left his lair, has he decided to go to the house?"
Do we plead guilty and surrender?”
"I'm not guilty, so how can I surrender?" Duan Qing asked the other party with a confused look on his face as he spread his arms out in an innocent posture: "What's more, I can't get out at all now, even if you catch me
So what?"
"The Alliance is tracking down your hiding position on the 'other side', and I believe there will be results soon." The prosecutor standing in the night breeze replied loudly: "As for this side... we should imprison you earlier.
Getting up can still prevent various accidents from happening."
"It seems that those of you who only know how to abide by the rules are about to become the tools of the rules." Duan Qing let out a low sigh, pressed his forehead and put away his intention to continue communicating: "Well, anyway,
I am here this time to fundamentally reverse this situation."
"I can't be caught by you before I say what I want to say."
Invisible pressure began to appear around the dark alley, and the originally normal street scene began to become slightly distorted. Duan Qing, who waved to the other party, then used the space magic cover of the dragon lady next to him to disappear first into the area that was about to be distorted.
The bottom of the engulfing darkness.
"Sorry."
