"Quick! This way, this way! Block the North Street in the Reindote neighborhood too! Don't let anyone go!"
"Don't be afraid, we have obtained the approval of the Reindot family! Even if people from other families come to find us, we can still delay it for a while..."
"Why are you procrastinating! Show me the highlights! The president will be here in a moment! If the president finds out that you are not working hard here and just lying around in this city every day to be lazy and enjoy yourself, he will definitely tear it up with his own hands.
us!"
"Now we don't care whether he is lurking or not. We need to find the person first... No, we are very sure he is here."
"Since the maid has already appeared here, it is only a matter of time before he appears here."
The streets of Redcar have become more and more noisy as time goes by, and this seems to be within the acceptance range of the imperial nobles. After all, the events that have taken place in the imperial capital in the past two days seem to be more shocking than the other.
People's hearts - First, Emperor Drenir personally issued an order to deal with the Adventurer's Association, and then the Alfavin family, which had just succeeded as the general minister, suffered an attack that almost wiped out the whole family. A group of nobles then began to use this attack to criticize and accuse each other.
Hoping to take the opportunity to pull all their opponents off the high seats of the palace. Without responding to the expectant looks of countless emerging nobles, His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting in the center of the supreme throne, seemed to be dismayed by what was happening before his eyes.
He was not interested in this dispute. He just waved his hands at the many ministers who presented the "evidence", and then disappeared into the palace behind with expressionless reaction and staggering steps. It seemed that he had already been there for a long time.
Knowing this result, the undercurrent rushing through the countless streets and alleys of the imperial capital has become a bit weirder. This naturally includes many players led by Wings of Freedom who have already deployed secret posts in the city.
And the Lanshan members who were also prepared and were walking out of the city with Duan Qing: "——We will be at the city gate soon."
"There shouldn't be many people walking through the north gate during this period, but we still found a lot of hidden sentries."
The bumpy carriage made a grunting sound on the bluestone road that has been settled for thousands of years. The figure belonging to Duan Qing who opened the curtain also appeared in the gap in the shadow for a moment. A Lanshan member sitting in the driver's seat in front of the carriage was at this time
As if he had just received some news, he turned his head towards the direction of the carriage and whispered a reminder: "We have already prepared the officer NPCs guarding the city gate in advance, but we cannot avoid the players' detection methods.
of."
"Now the lurkers in the city are like wasps that have stung a hornet's nest, bumping into each other on the streets every day." He kept dismantling the layer of guard armor he was wearing to camouflage himself, and sat on the other side of the carriage.
The Cangyun Barrier on one side then let out a helpless sigh: "Although your image of this mysterious businessman is not very eye-catching, it seems to have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The intelligence leaked to our side has mentioned many things.
How many times do you know?"
"This is not difficult. After all, I am no longer pretending to be an NPC." Pointing to the top of his head, Duan Qing then curled his lips and scratched his head: "Forget it, considering the ubiquitous eyeliner, I will
Let’s deal with it a little more.”
The obscure light then condensed in the hands of the gray-robed magician, and then gradually covered the top of his head as Duan Qing's palms moved. The ID name that originally followed him was also affected by this layer of obscure light.
There were some changes, and finally the words "Linchuan Jinshui" reappeared in front of Cangyun Barrier: "...Okay, now there should be no problem."
"——Hey, you're almost out of your depth with your shading skills...but this name looks too unnatural."
"It's just a few layers of handwriting that have been trimmed off. Of course the font will look a little unnatural, but that's okay. As long as it's not too close, it shouldn't be discovered."
"You are posing a problem for us. Forget it, put on this armor first, and we will take care of the rest."
The swaying carriage was a little conspicuous in the sparsely populated streets, but Redcar's current situation was not so difficult that even such a presence needed to be vigilant. The city gate guards who had already been greeted also rushed towards the carriage.
He waved his hand casually to indicate that he could pass, but as he passed by, he muttered a few words to the family emblem printed with a purple flower pattern: "The Roland family... is actually still alive in this empire?"
"How can you and I guess what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking?"
"I heard Boss Naris mention a few words. Since the Roland family has lost its threat, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally not care about it anymore."
"In my personal opinion, I don't want to see them become extinct. After all, they are one of the families that has continued from the beginning of this country to the present. Even if we don't consider their merits, we must also consider the mission passed down by their family since ancient times...
…”
The whispered talk gradually faded away in his ears, replaced by the squeaking sound of the carriage's ruts on the bluestone road. Duan Qing, who opened the curtains and looked at the desolate scene outside the city, then took off his original
With the helmets on their heads, their eyes inevitably looked towards the front of the road they were traveling on - the cliffs formed by countless blue and yellow boulders gradually appeared on both sides of the desolate plain, which could already be classified as cold in winter.
The strong wind also blew more and more withered yellow leaves standing on the boulders from the side and above. As a courtyard appeared in front of the winding road, an ancient sense of dilapidation gradually enveloped Duan Qing and his group.
Around: "...are we here?"
"This is my first time coming to Laura's hometown."
After letting out a gentle breath, the gray-robed magician took the lead in jumping out of the stopped carriage. He glanced left and right at the high wall that also looked extremely gray due to its age and disrepair, and finally turned his gaze.
The focus was on the maid player in front of them who was welcoming him: "——Mr."
"Ninglan."
In the eyes of the other party's surprise and surprise, Duan Qing gently hugged Enyu Ninglan's body, then pressed the other party's shoulders and turned around, and said softly to Cangyun Barrier who came next: "During this period,
Thank you for taking care of me."
"In other words, she can take care of us pretty well." The Shield Warrior wiped his nose with disdain: "Knowing etiquette, good management, and clean and neat attacks, she is worthy of being a personal death soldier specially trained by the Duan family.
.”
"Although I also told her not to care about the past, she probably doesn't like this kind of address now, so it's better to be more casual." Duan Qing blocked the words that the maid player was about to say, and shook his head with a smile, and then turned his face.
Returning to Ciyu Ninglan: "How was it?"
"The information provided by Jian Beidong helped a lot, but now that I think about it, Ninglan understood a lot about his reluctant expression when talking about this matter." She covered her mouth with a smile.
Ninglan tilted her head and then gestured towards the courtyard behind her: "Although they are not too enthusiastic, the people here are very good people. If they hadn't provided shelter for Ninglan, Ninglan would have
People in the city might have discovered it by now."
"Whether it is the Wings of Freedom or the family behind them, they should not be stingy with all the ways to deal with us now. It is a wise move for you not to force yourself to stay in the city." Duan nodded his head.
Qing then led the maid player side to the gate of the courtyard: "Of course, if they can't find anyone in the city, they will definitely find them here in the end."
"So we still try to seize the time."
Letting go of the hand that had been holding the other person's hand, the gray-robed magician moved forward with a deep aristocratic courtesy. A well-dressed, casually dressed middle-aged man appeared in front of the gate of the dilapidated courtyard.
He raised his sharp eyebrows, and his square face gradually became serious as his beard was pulled: "Are you the person they keep mentioning?"
"The adventurer who caused trouble in the imperial capital before?"
Gradually raising his head, Duan Qing answered this question with a smile on his face. Then the whirling sound of the carriage was followed by several people disappearing into the courtyard gate and leaving in the direction they came from.
The rest of the conversation between Duan Qing and the middle-aged man still vaguely echoed in the nearby air: "——Yes, I am Linyuan Duanshui."
"You also know about this place through the head of the family?"
"The current situation of the Roland family in the empire is really too special. As the representative of His Majesty the Emperor and a friend of Miss Laura, I will naturally find ways to do my part for her family."
"——Laura told you everything? Where is she now?"
"She is now in the camp we set up."
Walking in the corridor connecting the gate and the courtyard, Duan Qing, who was explaining the situation, raised his head and observed the dusty rocks and debris in the courtyard: "Although it is still under construction, safety and life are still important."
The conditions are no problem, at least...ahem, at least it looks much better than here."
"This is a villa left by the Roland family in the old days. No one has lived in it for a long time. It has only been used recently." Noticing Duan Qing's gaze, the middle-aged man's stern expression did not change at all: "The family is of a decent family.
Luo has now become the object of rejection by all the clans in the empire. We are lucky to be able to find such a place to settle down."
"I feel sympathy and regret for what happened to the Roland family." Duan Qing lowered his head and then spread out one of his arms: "If the construction of our camp over there is completed in the future, we adventurers will be happy to help with the repairs.
Let’s do our part for you.”
"Forgive me for not being able to make the decision on such a big matter." The middle-aged man still looked neither humble nor arrogant when he answered, but his tone became slightly calmer when he spoke again: "I forgot to introduce myself: I am Laura. His uncle is also the temporary manager of the Roland family’s assets, Barlow Roland.”
The leader's steps in front paused for a moment, and the middle-aged man turned around and spread his hands: "The remaining bloodline of the Roland family, as well as the small amount of wealth, should be here now."
"Adventurers are indeed known for their greed and wealth-seeking, but we don't treat our friends like this." Cangyun Barrier, who had been following Duan Qing, also patted his chest and said, "We treat our friends very loyally. , it is our duty to shoulder the same responsibility when faced with difficulties."
"I heard this servant talk about your affairs before." Pointing in the direction of the smiling Ningyu Ninglan, the middle-aged man who called himself Barlo Roland seemed to have a good impression of her: " Including what you have done in the Imperial Capital, in the Free Continent, and even on the other side of the Endless Sea, as well as your purpose of finding us here - I have to say, with such well-spoken and polite servants, your nobility His character is truly worthy of trust.”
"But before that, I have one more thing that I need to confirm." The eyes under the sword eyebrows dimmed their original aura, and Barlo Roland asked Duan Qing in a low voice: "The head of the family is seriously injured now. --is this real?"
"yes."
I don’t know why the other party specifically asked about this matter. After hesitating for a moment, the gray-robed magician finally nodded and affirmed: "The adventurers including Jian Beidong will give her the greatest care and will definitely restore her to her original state. "
"...Oh, what an unfair fate."
With his hands behind his back, he gradually turned around. Barro, who was standing in the middle of the dilapidated corridor, sighed and his voice echoed around Duan Qing and others: "Lola has been gifted since she was a child, but she has never liked to inherit the position of the head of the family. She is so indisputable. It is a pity and hateful that a person of this world is targeted and suppressed by those damn nobles, and finally ended up like this!"
"Your Excellency, there is no need to feel sorry. Everything will get better eventually." Taking a step forward, Duan Qing took the lead in answering righteously: "Emperor Drenier also knew very well that the Frey Empire cannot exist without the Roland family. The heavy responsibilities borne by all of you who have made great achievements at that time cannot be replaced even now."
"Humph, it's not just to retain our responsibilities."
Flicking his sleeves heavily, Barlo Roland turned around with a disdainful look on his face: "You are here to pursue this matter as well?"
"We are working hard to connect and open up the earth's veins on this continent, and the territory belonging to your garrison is a very important part of it." Duan Qing followed the other party's words and nodded again: "Time is precious, and we have never reached that place. This piece of land in the far north, the approval and guidance of the Roland family is indispensable to us."
"I have just said that all the living forces in the family are here now, and there is no one to protect them." Barlo Roland took a deep breath: "That kind of extreme environment and conditions, ordinary intrusion Those who enter will only lose their lives. Only people of the family master's level and equally powerful people have enough strength and courage to step into that place."
"This is a map drawn by our family, with routes and marks already on it." The middle-aged man said this and turned a parchment roll into Duan Qing's hands: "This should be what you adventurers want most.
information, right?”
"The Land of Fire, you can go if you want."
