"What? Let us open the remaining elemental springs?"
Some time later, at dusk, a layer of hazy golden color enveloped the banks of the Sky City. Standing on the edge of the tall city, Snow Spirit Huanbing once again put on the hood used to hide her identity, with a slender and beautiful black hood.
The silhouette also held his hands quietly in the light projected almost horizontally: "...Yes, as long as we complete this series of tasks, our reputation and friendship in the Council of Mages will reach its peak.
No matter what the conditions are, they will agree."
"This Fernando! He is taking advantage of the situation!" Duan Qing's dissatisfied cry echoed from the magic communication stone held in the woman's hands: "What we want is just the right to lease part of the land in Sky City! But he wants to
Let’s exchange for three elemental springs? Is this bargaining chip equivalent?”
"Anyway, I'll take on this task for now." He didn't think that Duan Qing was really as angry as he appeared now. Xue Ling Huan Bing replied to the magic stone with a normal expression: "My intuition tells me
, this series of tasks may be related to the entire free world, and it is probably the main line of the main line. There will be nothing wrong with it next."
"This is true. After all, the existence of the Spring of Elements is related to the origin of magic, the prosperity of the ancient adventure era, and the depletion of magic elements - the history of the entire continent can even be said to be related to it." Duan Qing's voice continued.
The sound of the intersecting crowds and the sound of the wind changed from low to high: "But this thing is not something we can just do! Not to mention completely opening up the magic veins of the entire continent, just opening up the spring of elements
It's not something we can easily handle, we don't even know where the other elemental springs are..."
"About this, your old mentor also mentioned it." Xueling Huanbing interrupted Duan Qing's muttering in a gradually lowering tone: "He said that the Council of Mages has mastered most of the elements related to the Spring of Elements.
If we agree, they can provide us with relevant information and clues."
"What? They already have all the information?" Duan Qing's reaction was somewhat unexpected to the female swordsman: "They have also determined the locations of the springs of elements? Except for the most likely location of the spring of fire elements.
Apart from the Land of Fire, there is no clue about the locations of other elemental springs."
"According to what Wiggins said, the Spring of Fire Element is indeed located in the Land of Fire at the northwest edge of the continent." She nodded involuntarily, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes turned to the distance in the sky that was covered with the golden light of dusk: "
As for the spring of water element and the spring of earth element...the general directions have been determined."
"Where?"
"We also originally discussed the location of these elemental springs."
Maintaining the posture of looking out, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes seemed to have the light of memories and thoughts flashing: "The spring of water element is different from the 'near the snow mountain' we had previously guessed - it is located in the center of the endless sea. Listen.
It is said that there is an endless huge whirlpool there, constantly sucking in the sea water of this world."
"...It makes some sense, because we seem to have seen that whirlpool." Duan Qing's speculation gradually came out after a period of silence: "Of course it is not on the endless sea in the game world, but on the endless sea in the game world.
During the UEFA Cup, a game map was randomly selected by the system."
"I also have some impressions." Xueling Huanbing nodded in agreement: "If such a place really exists and we find it, maybe it can be used as one of the venues for us to borrow."
"In that dangerous environment, even the flow of magic is the most disordered. It is difficult to solve the road problem alone." Duan Qing's answer was full of distress: "Let's not mention this matter first, this place
Where exactly is the so-called deep sea whirlpool? Do we need to sail our own boat to find it?"
"We can seek help from Molnar. He has been living on the lighthouse for a long time. He must have some clues about this."
"With Molnar's status, he may know everything, but if you want to pry out the information from him, the price you pay may be higher... Hey, isn't this a vicious cycle?"
"But according to the calculations of existing players and the information published on the Internet, the area of the Endless Sea sandwiched between the two continents is much larger than the two continents combined, let alone the area surrounding the two continents.
Other places are still filled with endless oceans. If we only rely on our human power to search, it will be——"
"...Didn't the Mage Council find the location themselves? Didn't they say that they had sent out various high-end combat forces to explore?"
"Do you still need to ask? The person responsible for the exploration mission of the water element spring can only be the great water magician Christine, and Christine... has been out of contact a long time ago."
It seemed that a topic that shouldn't be mentioned was mentioned. Both parties who were talking through long-distance fell into silence. Duan Qing's voice also sounded again after a period of sighs, and his tone was also full of force after cheering up.
Dry: "According to this situation, the exploration of the fire element spring has also come to a standstill, right?"
"That's right, because of Freya's strike." Faced with the biting high-altitude wind, Xue Ling Huan Bing sighed and replied: "But because the spring of fire element is right there, it's not a big deal even if it's suspended, and
Because we discovered and occupied the Spring of Wind Element, Rex who is free can also take over the corresponding work, although the efficiency will not be very high."
"Didn't Wiggins and the others go and investigate a little bit?" Duan Qing's voice sounded a little cold again: "They must know the trajectory of Christine's final investigation, even if it happened smoothly at the time
If we continue to pursue this clue, the situation may not become as bad as it is now."
"Although your old mentor didn't say it clearly, I have this feeling - if the great magician trapped in the enemy's camp in the future actually stands opposite us, he will definitely not be merciful." Xueling
Huan Bing replied in a soft voice: "The problem must be solved before it's too late, otherwise you and I may have to witness another tragedy."
"——Where is the spring of earth element?"
So Duan Qing took the initiative to change the topic back: "The person in charge should be Jin, right? He is trustworthy."
"Of course it is the place where earth elements are most likely to accumulate on this continent, and it is also the thickest place on this continent." Xueling Huanbing also cheered up: "Originally, we thought that the most clueless place was this elemental place.
Quan, but after what I said, you should be able to guess it."
"...Andachier Mountains, Falling Star Mountain." Duan Qing took a deep breath: "It is indeed the most dense place - how did you find Jin? I remember that there are indeed a large number of unexplained ancient remains there.
The remains of…”
"No, there shouldn't be any connection between the two." Interrupting the other party, Xueling Huanbing continued to explain in a light voice: "The ancient relics did leave a large number of ruins in that huge mountain range, but according to gold
The news brought back states that these relics have not penetrated deep into the center of the Earth in Falling Star Mountain, and there is no data showing any signs that any living beings have come into contact with the center of the Earth."
"It was a place that no one has ever set foot on, and it still is." The female swordsman couldn't help but become solemn when she said this: "Jin has been relying on his own strength and strong perseverance to penetrate deep into the distance for a long time, and finally confirmed
About this matter." Gu
"This is impossible." Duan Qing quickly noticed the anomaly in this statement: "The four springs of elements have all been developed and utilized as early as the ancient magic empire. If no one had ever dug into the center of the earth,
, then where did the achievements of the ancient magic empire come from?"
"They used other springs - we should have seen them in many places." Xue Ling Huanbing's mouth slightly raised: "Huge veins connect the springs to every corner of the continent, and some of them are weak in the earth's crust.
Some places appear naturally, and some are artificially connected to the surface. Those are-"
"furnace."
The word was spoken in unison, and Duan Qing's voice from the other side of the communication stone became clearer: "No wonder, no wonder! This way there are a lot of things that can be explained! Haha, this is really...
Never thought of that."
"We may not be able to penetrate Falling Star Mountain directly, but we have other ways to reach the Spring of Earth Elements." Xueling Huanbing continued to tell the conclusion: "The Mage Council is also inclined to this approach. If we can pass through all parts of the mainland
Starting from the 'spring', it should be possible to activate the earth element and even the effect of the entire earth vein."
"...Do other countries agree with this approach?" After another period of unspeakable silence, Duan Qing took the lead in asking the biggest question that may be encountered in this process: "The Lesser Andachel Mountains have fallen into the hands of the restored Magic Empire.
There is no possibility of cooperation at all. The remaining large furnaces are almost located in the core areas of the empire and principalities. If you want to pass and use these furnaces, the first thing you need is their approval."
"Wiggins also mentioned this just now, and they seem to be putting this matter into the empire's bargaining chip." Xueling Huanbing's tone began to become lower: "On the contrary, the principality...
Neither the Pamirs nor the nobles of the principalities seem to agree with this request of the Mages Council."
"Oh? Why? They obviously just received assistance from the Mages Council for the reconstruction of Tania."
"The reason is unclear."
Amid the endless sound of wind, Xue Ling Huan Bing silently replied: "But -"
"I heard it is related to the prophecy passed down by their ancestors, the Tadaya clan."
The situation was once again dragged into the core of secrets involving the long history of the entire country. Duan Qing also fell silent helplessly. His thoughts were a little confused and he finally gave up thinking for the time being. He subconsciously asked: "It seems that we
There are still many things that need to be worked hard... What are you going to do next?"
"Of course I'm going to take a walk around the city and look for a suitable location for my new performance." Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice came back with a hint of relief: "If you can accompany me,
With me by your side, this journey might be more enjoyable."
"Sorry, but I haven't left the swamp yet." Duan Qing's voice also revealed regret and helplessness: "We have to send little Nina back first. After all, the enemy's territory is ahead, and we don't want to take her with her.
For this little guy to be in danger so easily...well."
"It seems that a guest has appeared."
The words paused unnaturally, and Duan Qing spoke again quickly and alertly: "Let's stop talking here for now, see you later."
"Take care of yourself."
The voice of the communication hung up at this moment, and the figure belonging to Duan Qing also appeared in the depths of the swamp on the side of the Hulan Mountains. The dusk ended and a layer of darkness settled around the gray-robed magician.
There seemed to be some imperceptible movement in the middle: "...They are still chasing me."
"You don't need to remind me - who do you think is keeping you safe when you are immersed in the little stone in your hand?"
The voice from Fula also sounded in Duan Qing's ears. The gray-robed magician looked back and saw the corpses of several players looming behind the tall dragon women surrounding little Nina: "
Not activating space teleportation is also to avoid interruption of your long-range magic communication. Anyway, these adventurers who come to attack are not outstanding in strength, and they do not have the basic cognitive ability to distinguish the strength of the enemy from ourselves..."
"That's not necessarily true."
Purple runes flashed in the air for a moment, and Fulla, with her blond hair fluttering, suddenly flashed past her. A silent arrow was then frozen in mid-air by the runes cast by Duan Qing.
, and then was slowly taken off under the serious eyes of the two people: "It is the power of breaking the dragon."
"It seems that they have indeed investigated the identities of our group and have begun to take countermeasures."
The movements in the darkness began to become more and more obvious, and the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Fula holding the little girl suddenly turned into two running streams of light: "After all, the biggest obstacle that prevents them from dealing with me is you. If it were me,
If so, I will take the lead in finding a way to remove this troublesome guy like you."
"The other party is shifting their target to you." They put magic streams on each other, and Duan Qing's voice was torn apart in the rapid movement of darkness: "Advanced magic perception told me that there are also theirs ahead.
Encirclement, if they all prepare dragon-slaying weapons...hey, how long do you need to prepare your long-distance teleportation magic?"
"The number of living individuals is three. The energy accumulated in this little human is comparable to yours. The total amount of magic power required——"
The shattering sound of the impact and the man's scream echoed at the edge of darkness with no end in sight. In a certain direction of the swamp, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object flying up and then falling to the ground. The darkness flowing in that direction also stopped.
The conversation turned into a chaotic commotion in Duan Qing's eyes, mixed with a round and bright golden light that was hard to ignore.
Boom!
