"Ah, I'm so exhausted. I'm so exhausted."
The white world after the white light flashed still showed endless vastness in front of Duan Qing, but the sense of emptiness and insignificance that the vastness should have brought had disappeared at this time, just because this land should have been as empty as ever.
In the space, a random figure belonging to Violet lying on the ground appeared again: "Doing so many things at the same time is really not suitable for me now... Come on, rub your legs for me."
"Your posture is too unsightly, my mentor." Duan Qing squatted beside the unobtrusive woman with an expressionless face. Duan Qing tilted his head and looked at the great magician who had restored his original appearance.
: "Although this place can almost be regarded as my private domain, outsiders may still appear."
"Are you referring to your adventurer girlfriend, or those thunderous sounds that appear from time to time 'above'?" Violet pointed at the boundless sky facing the white ground: "
If it's those voices, I'm sure they can't see what's happening here at all. As for your girlfriend-"
"It doesn't hurt to let her see it."
The opened eyes were filled with a cunning and charming light. Violet, who stood up, faced Duan Qing's gaze with a teasing smile: "Why, you two have spent more time together than..."
I'm much older, isn't that enough for her to trust you?"
"Yes, I'm just that bad."
Duan Qing rejected the provocative gaze indifferently, and Duan Qing also took back the hand he was about to extend: "Otherwise, I wouldn't let you into my house without any problem, right?"
"Don't try to coax me. You can't stop me from coming here." Violet lazily put one hand under her face, lying sideways, and shook away her long hair that was flowing like a waterfall.
Behind him: "Of course, if my lovely apprentice is willing to lower her face and pray to her mentor, praying, 'Please ignore the door that is always open and don't disturb my rest,' I might also seriously consider it."
.”
"I don't have to hide here to rest - forget it." Finally showing a helpless expression, Duan Qing sighed and turned his unbearable eyes aside: "I know you are very busy during this time, you
If you want to stay here, stay here, as long as it doesn't delay your business."
"It's not like the body outside is not here. If you want to control the Violet Magic Network, you have to do it yourself." As if the other party mentioned something interesting, the great magician lay down again with a bad smile on his face.
Returned to the ground: "It's not like you haven't 'settled' in that body before. Freya now also knows a little bit about rune magic. If the two of you work together, a simple 'field expansion' should still be possible."
Bar."
"Just don't touch the rune seals I just set."
Closing her eyes again, Violet regained her appearance as if she wanted to rest: "That is the narrowing eye leading to the spring of elements. You should be able to tell it."
"...Has the energy level of the Fire Land reached such a high level?" Duan Qing sighed for a moment: "Is the phenomenon of forcibly exchanging bodies and then being driven back, also related to the ancient magic empire?
Is it related to the failure of the isolation device?”
"Although I don't want to admit this fact, you are right." Violet, with her eyes closed, replied feebly: "The energy pressure of liberating the black sun for a moment is still too great, even if I set it earlier
The three-dimensional rune defense network there did not prevent the collapse of the law. Fortunately, I still have another spring of elements in my hand, otherwise I might not be able to hold on until you leave there."
"So what's going on in the Land of Fire now? We won't cause a continent-level disaster, right?"
"Don't worry, Frey Empire is at least my hometown. I don't want that guy Drenir to continue to pester me. The conversion circle placed there has successfully taken effect, and the excess elemental energy has been used by me as a backup circuit.
It has been channeled into the earth's veins - didn't you notice it when you used 'Resonance Diversion' just now?"
"Speaking of which, the sound transmission seems to have become clearer... How long will this situation continue?"
"Theoretically, the spring of elements will never be exhausted. Before the Violet Magic Network has no carrying capacity, this situation may continue - Hey, what's your expression? Are you worried that the Free Continent won't be able to bear it? You
Have you forgotten what those Restorationists are doing now?”
"Although I realized their ideal unintentionally, I still feel a little unhappy about giving them the fruits of their hard work for nothing... Ahem, they won't find out, right?"
"Of course they will find out that this is already the second one."
Pouring her mouth with a helpless expression, Violet opened her eyes and looked back at Duan Qing's face: "The abundance of elements will lead to the recovery of magic power, and even the depletion symptoms of the entire continent will be improved. If it continues
After a while, I'm afraid even junior magicians will be able to feel the flow of magic above level four."
"If those restorers still have 'return to the age of magic' as their ambition, then things are easier to say." Duan Qing, who was squatting on the ground with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky: "I'm afraid that these people are more ambitious.
After receiving the supply of this energy, we have to push further.”
"Elements without will will not decide their flow direction on their own." Her long purple hair spread out into a beautiful flower on the white ground, and Violet's eyes became trance-like: "In fact,
It can be seen from the actions of those guys who call themselves the remnants that they have begun to occupy the entrances and exits of the earth line. They are no longer a force that exhausts their strength for the recovery of the continent, but-"
"You adventurers must be responsible." The great magician turned his eyes again with a sense of rebuke: "The so-called 'magic empire' is actually the result of the fooling and leadership of adventurers, right?"
"I'm sorry for causing such a situation, but this is also due to human nature." Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "With so much elemental 'wealth' here, even if there are no adventurers to interfere with it, the mainland's
Other countries and ordinary people will sooner or later extend their greedy hands and turn things into the current situation."
"Then I should say that you adventurers are more skilled at such things?" Violet asked in return, the corners of her mouth raised again: "When will a new round of continental war start? Remember to remember the Magic Council after the reunification.
The position of Speaker is left to me, and I want to let that old guy Wiggins have a taste of being told what to do."
"If there really is such a war, how can I control you?" Duan Qing's tone this time became weak: "Let alone the Speaker, no one will dare to stop you when you become the new Queen of the Empire.
ah."
"You're kidding, I don't want to take on this kind of exhausting drudgery." So Violet also lost her interest: "Even the current work, I can't handle it, let alone
It’s the mundane things that pervade every aspect—yes.”
"After the matter is over, how about accompanying me to visit various corners of the continent?" The long-haired woman suddenly sat up, and her eyes were once again full of expectant light: "As an apprentice, I accompany the magic instructor to conduct earth line inspections.
Research is the general rule of the free continent."
"I have never heard of such a general rule." Duan Qing silenced the other party's words with an expressionless face: "And please don't say more like this, as it will lead to death."
"Then... I'll go shopping with you." Not paying attention to Duan Qing's warning, Violet blinked her eyes: "You have the final say where you go."
"——What's the difference between this and just now?"
"At that time, those things you often mentioned, such as amusement parks, large shopping malls, three-dimensional movies - oh, by the way, there is also the magic called 'science', take me to see them all!"
"...Stop dreaming. If you keep talking, Molnar will jump out and take you back."
"Catch me back as soon as I can. My thirst for knowledge will not be extinguished easily! But I am also curious, how will a being like me be dealt with in the end? Is it to 'disappear' directly? Or is it forcibly erasing the memory, and then
Throw it back to its original place?"
"If I don't have the chance to reawaken, will you spare no effort to save me? Just like Christine, or your cute little maid?"
The heavy atmosphere finally spread around this boundless space as the topic progressed. The silence for a while seemed to make Duan Qing unable to breathe. The gray-robed magician pursed his lips and had a straight face for a while before raising his head again.
He raised his head and responded to the other person's eyes looking at him with a serious expression: "I'm sorry."
"……Yeah?"
"No, it's not because I'm unwilling to agree, but because I no longer have the confidence to promise."
The flash of light in those eyes made Duan Qing's heartbeat stop for a moment, so he hurriedly added: "As you can see, I am already a person who cannot protect myself. Even the shackles of this space make me unable to protect myself."
If I can’t escape, how can I talk about you?”
"I may have been so arrogant in the past, but you have seen the consequences now." Pointing to his nose, Duan Qing's expression also fell: "Of course, I also tried to solve the follow-up problems in my own way.
The problems and worries you have will definitely not happen."
"...Of course it won't happen. I am the Lord of Violet."
A bright smile bloomed on her face again, and Violet's mature face was now filled with a mature and confident look: "Sitting on two springs of elements, I can control enough to overthrow the entire
The most powerful magician in the mainland! Whether it is the Mages Council or the Magic Council, they will all bow their knees under my skirt now!"
"Don't be too happy, there are two other elemental springs." Duan Qing interrupted with a smile: "And they may have found a position. This time we may really be lagging behind."
"I believe in your ability. After all, you are the one who can change the thread of fate." Violet crossed her hips with an arrogant expression: "Freya's fate must also have changed because of this trip to the Land of Fire.
There have been changes. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Gardevoir himself. With this change, there may be a glimmer of hope for a change in the fate of that guy Christine.”
"As the elder and senior of the two of them, I really hope to see them have a good ending." Having said this, the purple-haired woman waved her hands vigorously: "Okay, okay, the small talk is almost over.
, go and help them."
"Let me be lazy and fish for a while."
Turning back and lying on the white ground again, the expression of the great magician who stopped talking could no longer be seen by Duan Qing. Sensing this emotional change, he also sighed and then disappeared into a white light.
At the same place. The night of the sacred mountain in the free world then completely fell on the head of the temporary camp. The dark night with the howling wind was also constantly fighting against the bonfires rising around the camp. I don’t know when I walked into this camp.
The gray-robed magician inside then met several guild players who were already familiar with him, and then came to the area illuminated by the bonfire belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group: "Where is Freya?"
"Still resting, doesn't seem to have fully recovered."
Qian Zhihe jumped up and ran to Duan Qing's side. Qian Zhihe, who was jumping for joy with his hands behind his back, also replied excitedly: "Uncle is back! We were looking for you just now! Tonight's meal is - Huh?"
"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
It seems that he also noticed something abnormal in that familiar face. Xueling Huanbing, who was already sitting next to the campfire, stared at Duan Qing's side face over Qian Zhihe's shoulder: "The condition of the Lord of Violet is not very good.
?”
"No, it's okay." Duan Qing smiled at all the other players present and sat directly in front of the bonfire: "I chatted with her for a while, which calmed her mood a little... Since Freya
If we can’t visit for the time being, let’s discuss what to do next.”
"Your quota has almost been used, right?"
Taking the skewer of barbecue handed to him by Xueling Huanbing, Duan Qing looked around at the other players present: "Since I'm back, I'll take over tomorrow's game."
"Are you really planning to fulfill that sentence?" Goldman raised his eyebrows first: "I'm not worried about winning or losing. I'm worried that someone will plot against us."
"There will definitely be plots. After all, they have secretly made so many attempts today."
Looking back at the lively scene deep in the temporary camp behind him, Duan Qing's mouth showed a meaningful smile: "Liangchen Meiyu herself has also arrived here... ha."
"Are they planning to officially use 'that move'?"
