Passing through the crowd of customers and merchants, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Fula disappeared one after another into a small door inside Kima's shop. The shining and rich wall decorations still continued.
Clothing also appeared in every corner of this small room. The tea cups and exquisite seats placed on the central square table added a sense of simplicity and nobility to this atmosphere: "This is a VIP room."
, is a place only those who are members of our chamber of commerce can enter."
"As you just saw, our shop has been very busy since it opened."
She completely lost the cute tone she used when introducing herself to Duan Qing and Duan Qing at the beginning. The cute waitress who had previously received them was now lying on one of the seats: "I'm so exhausted."
...Ah, you can sit wherever you like and use the things as you like, I won’t care about you."
"Your Highness Maggie Salaka." He politely called out the other party's real name. Duan Qing, who did not take any immediate action, then also cast his gaze on the waitress who had completely abandoned her mask: "Long time no see."
Already."
"Have we met before? Well, it seems that we have indeed met before." The waitress lying on the seat did not move because of this, only her eyes that also looked a little weak followed Duan Qing's words.
The words turned to this side: "I'm sorry, but I have seen too many people and pretended to have countless faces, so I am no longer very sensitive to the 'appearance' thing."
"According to my past experience, people who have been engaged in disguise for a long time and often change their appearance will eventually lose their recognition and affirmation of themselves." Duan Qing nodded his head, and finally sat on the fundamental seat.
Opposite the ladyless waiter: "I hope His Highness will also notice this and don't forget who you are."
"How is it possible? Maggie, I am the Queen of Darkness who has relied on disguise to survive for thirteen years! Disguise and cross-dressing are like breathing to me, how could I possibly-" the waitress declared angrily.
The words that were about to continue were suddenly frozen in mid-air: "...Well, some bad things did happen. If it weren't for the distinguished guest I met when I entered Harbin, I would be where I am now.
It’s uncertain whether it exists or not.”
"...Then do you still remember the appearance of that distinguished guest?"
"of course I remember."
Looking at Duan Qing slightly strangely, the lying waitress stopped reaching out to pull her body: "Why, why do you ask this?"
"nothing."
After temporarily suppressing some of the waves in his heart, Duan Qing put a smile on his face again: "Is it really okay to tell these extremely secret contents to us who have just arrived here?"
"The VIP room was originally used to discuss this kind of business. Both the sound insulation effect and the protective effect are very good." The waitress waved her hand carelessly: "Now this room is occupied by us, and no one else dares to come in."
, you can rest assured about this."
"Well, I don't know who is behind all this." Duan Qing touched his nose with a wry smile, and then turned his gaze to the side: "Anyway, since everyone has such a big idea about the plan
I can't waste my time anymore."
"Can you help us contact Shadow Mage Gardevoir?" He tentatively stated his request, and his body involuntarily leaned forward a little: "We hope to enter another world, and she is probably the only one here who can help us do it.
This is what happened."
"You don't need to say it so obscurely, I have seen what that void world looks like."
Letting out a disdainful sneer, Maggie, who was sitting opposite Duan Qing, finally straightened her body this time: "But if you take into account the physical strength and endurance of ordinary people, that woman is indeed better suited to arrange this than me.
"
"Sounds like you know her very well?"
"It's not just her, I'm also very familiar with other people in this city." She said this answer lazily, Maggie's fingers kept turning in front of her: "As a professional in a professional organization
People, the first task when coming to a new territory is to investigate all the forces in this place. Otherwise, if you are cheated one day, you may not even know how you died... Ahem, let me state in advance that I did not say that I
Are you afraid of them? What do you have to worry about a group of outdated members of the Shadow Society!"
"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and pushed his hands: "Anyway, if you can help us pull the strings a little bit, we will be grateful."
"There is a secret passage at the foot of where we are, leading to the city's underground waterway."
Finally sitting upright, Maggie's eyes swept over Duan Qing's body: "Don't look at it, this city was built next to the endless sea in the late era of the Magic Empire, the underground passages of this city are also
It's very complicated. If we hadn't accumulated a considerable amount of experience in Tania's underground life, we wouldn't have become familiar with the world below so quickly."
"It seems that any city will have an underground world, on the physical level." Duan Qing glanced at his feet with emotion: "But if there is such a hidden passage, we can't ask for it."
"Are we leaving now?" Glancing in the direction where Duan Qing was, Maggie Salaka asked in a low voice, "I don't have any problems myself, but I'm afraid that the two distinguished guests -"
Her words stopped in mid-air, and her strange gaze shifted to another figure. Fula, who had never spoken a word, did not seem to have any superfluous reaction in the face of this scrutinizing gaze.
The golden eyes exposed under the shadow of the hood were just staring at Duan Qing quietly at this time: "——Ahem, there is nothing wrong with my companion."
"That's good, let's set off now."
After twirling her fingers, the waitress jumped up from her seat with a light leap. The regular collision of leather shoes with the ground soon followed her steps and extended to the corner of the room. The floor tiles were grinding.
The voice soon came out from the clicking sound of machinery: "Don't fall behind."
"The underground world of this city seems to have not been fully developed."
Following the other party's leaping action, he disappeared into the long passage. After falling for a while, Duan Qing appeared first at the bottom of the dim passage. He looked at the tidal ground and the decayed and dilapidated walls, and wrinkled involuntarily.
He frowned: "We can't be the first people to come to the underground of Freedom City, right?"
"Of course not, the underground here is very spacious." Maggie, who illuminated the surrounding scene with the magic light in her hand and pointed at her feet, replied with certainty: "The City of Liberty is a city with great pressure to survive.
Many people who have long been desperate will naturally turn their attention to this extremely dirty place, but even so, no one can survive in this underground waterway for a long time."
"The reason is also very simple."
Leading the way ahead, Maggie turned a corner and pointed to the faint sound of water in front of her and replied: "Because these waterways were originally built to assist the drainage function of the moat, they all lead to the endless water."
The sea, and once the tide is coming, this place will also become a world filled with sea water."
"I can tell."
Feeling the silent space fluctuations behind him, Duan Qing turned a corner with the other party and took his eyes on several seaweeds attached to the wall under the light: "But at least it doesn't look like Tania and Tania here.
**Ancient ruins like Harbin are really amazing."
"That's right, I don't want to see those aristocratic grandpas who call themselves 'future descendants of the Gods' bring their weird bad habits here again." Maggie nodded in agreement, walking in front of her.
Zhongya revealed a bit of relaxation and smile: "How they understand the world and how they fight with the Mages Council is their business. I just worry about myself and living a good life."
"Oh, really? But the chamber of commerce you have established now seems to have a lot of people." Duan Qing continued to ask with a straight face: "Did you take them in? Or were they people who originally belonged to your underground organization?"
"All of them, although I didn't re-establish a new organization to take care of them." Maggie's answer this time lost its original ease and freehandness: "Everything is for myself, only relying on the greater
Under the collective, people like me can survive smoothly, that's all."
"Dependence? Didn't you establish the Kima Chamber of Commerce?" Duan Qing asked doubtfully, "Who is the person above you? Pamir? Or that fat man?"
"It's someone you can't imagine." She turned around and showed a mysterious smile. The waitress walking in front raised the magic oil lamp in her hand: "You will know when the time comes."
Stopping Duan Qing from continuing to ask questions, Maggie, who had stopped, pointed diagonally above her head. The faint light also appeared there with Duan Qing's sight as he approached.
At the end of the film diagonally above, there was even the sound of hurried footsteps faintly appearing from the gap in the white light: "This is it."
"Is the Black Magic Cabin up there?" Comparing it with the adventurer's manual in his hand, Duan Qing looked at the direction marked on the map and said in surprise: "No, this place seems to be far away from the coordinates I know."
"Underground passages are not omnipotent. Do you really think that the passages here can go to all the places you want to go?" Maggie's eyes showed a trace of sarcasm: "The main roads are almost all facing east, gathering all the major cities.
The branches of underground waterways in urban areas will only extend diagonally to the north and south. There are many areas outside of these "branches" and "rivers", unless you are willing to dig a road by yourself without disturbing anyone.
."
"Then where is this place?"
"The Prison of Calan."
Maggie said the name softly, her voice paused for a moment, and a trace of coldness appeared on her face: "To be precise, this place is located behind Jialan Prison. You can only reach that place by climbing over a wall. As for what exactly is there?"
Where it is...you should be able to guess it from the name."
"Gaara."
A certain deep and sinister character appeared in his mind, and Duan Qing took a deep breath helplessly: "You didn't deliberately create this problem for me, did you?"
"This is just one of his villas, of course - you'd better not know its purpose." Maggie introduced in a low voice: "Except to satisfy his perverted hobbies, he won't frequent this place often, so you can rest assured.
Go up and climb over the small wall on the north."
"Cross this street, and then pass above the houses on this side - the city defenses in Freedom City are no longer as tight as before. With your ability, there should be no problem." Pointing to the adventurer in Duan Qing's hand
On the map, Maggie's slender fingers drew a route forward: "Then there is this U-shaped alley, which should look familiar to you, right? Follow this alley to the end, and the Black Magic House is right in front of you.
."
"By the way, there are a lot of people visiting Gardevoir now, because her identity is no secret now." Withdrawing her eyes and fingers, Maggie turned around and walked in the direction she came from: "
The so-called ranking of candidates for the throne doesn't have much meaning now. After all, it's impossible to reflect the strength of all those in power on paper, so..."
"How to meet Gardevoir without alerting anyone - this problem can only be solved by ourselves?"
"That's right."
She snapped her fingers at the person who rushed to answer her, and Maggie's figure that was gradually moving away kept flickering under the swaying magic light: "I will continue to stay in the VIP room to cover you. If you wait for an hour,
If you still can't come back, I can only assume that you have given up this cover and continue to run your own business."
"Actually, I just want to be lazy."
The voice of the waitress, who had regained her lively and lovely voice, gradually faded away in her ears. Duan Qing couldn't help but comment aloud, but Fula, who was behind him, also broke her silence, and what she said was...
There was a sense of vigilance: "The sound of neat footsteps - it has appeared three times above."
"That means there are patrols, right?" Duan Qing pouted, and his gaze paused for a moment under the ever-changing hazy white light: "It looks like the lights in the house, but Maggie
The explanation just now didn't make this clear...Does she want us to solve this problem ourselves?"
"Do you need me to take action?"
"No, no, no, let's take it slow."
Stopping Fula's eager action, Duan Qing gradually approached the location of the hazy light source. However, before he could find the entrance and exit back to the surface, a harsh shout scared him into a cold sweat.
"who!
