Subconsciously blocking his arm in front of him, the gray-robed magician faced the dazzling light ahead and entered the area in front of him first. Countless players and NPCs who were busy selling here also came into view.
In the field of vision, the originally somewhat blurry noises and energy buzzing that filled the vast underground hall became clear in an instant - the simple dark colors surrounding the underground ruins that had been opened and widened were reflected by the light pillars of the furnace that towered into the sky.
It was extremely red, and the stalls with a dazzling array of products on each floor reflected a dazzling light under the magic lights. The players who were standing or sitting behind those stalls were also waving their hands, which were influenced by the heat of the furnace.
Sweat and sweat, and the constant flow of people passing by here handed back and forth the goods that they were both proud of, and the joy on each other's faces after accidentally earning: "Three high-level power-enhancing gems, a grand bonus of 1,200 gold coins!"
"That's right, we have stable synthetic formulas and stable sources of raw materials here. If you come here often in the future, we also have frequent customer discounts!"
"Magic protection barrier scroll! Effectively rebounds the anti-magic barrier effect! It has been certified by the Mages Council and is effective! If you don't believe it, you can try it in the M9 area before buying it!"
"Hey, the wind-gathering magic staff you sold to me yesterday, which is known as the legendary weapon, is basically a defective product, right? The 'Exploding Wind Sphere' attached to it cannot be activated! The attached effect 'Wind Demon Speed' is also
The probability of triggering does not match the effect mentioned in the item description!"
"Look at the excitement, tsk tsk tsk... people who don't know would think we have broken into some hypermarket."
Quickly bypassing most of the circular corridor, Duan Qing and others, who had already blended into the crowd, quickly blended into these brilliant and colorful lights. They used shading magic to conceal their IDs and tried their best not to attract the attention of the surrounding crowd, and found the place in silence.
The location of the target they wanted to find: "What's even more unexpected is that you can actually stabilize in a place like this - why, have you adapted to the environment of an adventurer?"
"Although they always speak a lot of words that are incomprehensible, to me, who is well-informed, this level of communication barrier is nothing."
Kima, who pressed her hat and appeared in front of Duan Qing in an incongruous suit and leather shoes, raised her head with a very familiar smile: "On the contrary, some of you...after they found out that I really am not
After one of them passed by, the strange expressions on their faces were even more unforgettable."
"You actually still have this kind of hobby?" Duan Qing looked at the goods on the shelf in front of the gentleman casually, and his expression began to become weird: "You also started to yearn for the life of an adventurer?
"
"This is a professional habit." The top hat on his head was taken off a little as he raised his arms, and the conspicuous bald head belonging to Kima gradually appeared: "Of course, in my current situation,
, it has become a huge question whether we should continue to hold on to this job... Well."
"Don't worry, we didn't bring any other 'guests' here."
Sensing the vigilant gazes of the bald gentleman looking around, the gray-robed magician replied with a relaxed expression: "As for whether there are people in this area who are watching or paying special attention to you, that's not up to us.
Already."
"Indeed, this is not your problem." Withdrawing his helpless gaze, Kima skillfully and naturally handed a piece of equipment from the stall in front of him to Duan Qing's hands: "Since becoming a key care target,
Many of my actions have also become inconvenient. Being able to have a place in this kind of place can be regarded as the result of those monitors opening up and opening up before blocking."
"I heard that they still keep your nightclub." Holding up the goods handed to him by the other party, Duan Qing pretended to look at them carefully and replied in a low voice: "You didn't go back?"
"In order not to disturb the balance of Tania's underground world, of course 'Maggie's Nightclub' still exists." The bald gentleman replied as usual: "It's just that one of their people has been replaced as the boss."
"A new boss?"
"What, now that we have reached this point, do you still think there is hope for me to return to a normal life?"
"Well, I just feel a little pity, after all -"
"After all, I am still a person who is good at disguise."
Replacing Duan Qing in saying those words, the bald gentleman put his hat back on: "You should already know about this. In order to prevent people like me from escaping at will, the fate weavers placed in my body
A special magic shackle is attached to it, the kind that can be followed at will... Hey, I heard that they asked Wiggins to modify it."
"It seems they have shown enough respect for your abilities." Among the other members of the team who gradually dispersed their alerts, only Duan Qing was still holding the goods in his hands with an unexpected expression: "I have never heard Wiggins mention it.
After this incident, those old bastards were actually willing to shamelessly run to him for help, which in itself should explain a lot of problems."
"After the incident in Tania, I was seriously injured and was taken back by the members of the Council of Mages." Kima's expression with his hands hanging down was still full of gentle gentlemanly demeanor: "I heard that someone had already come to the door at that time.
Come here and want to request that I be handed over to their hands. They say that I am the 'man who broke fate' and if I ignore it without permission, it will have a profound impact on this world."
"I spent all my sincerity and wealth to convince the forces, including the principality, as a guarantee in exchange for my relatively restricted freedom." After saying this, Kima gestured to himself with both hands: "The result is
Staying here like this is like staying in another form of prison."
"So this is also the reason why we came here at this invitation."
Putting down the goods in his hands casually, Duan Qing pretended to pick up another jet-black armored glove from the corner of the shelf: "As far as I know, there are quite a few people like you scattered around the world.
, even having a little bit of connection with me is considered a kind of bad fate."
"Humph, you are somewhat self-conscious." The bald gentleman showed another bright smile: "I used other methods and channels to find out about you, including your current identity and the changes that are taking place in the world.
, if it’s you and Violet behind you, you should be able to provide me with enough shelter and support now.”
"Yes, there are countless strange people under the command of the Lord of Violet, and one more like you is not too much." Duan Qing lowered his head and raised his eyebrows: "But for your sake, I have to bear the responsibility of becoming the enemy of the Destiny Weaver.
What kind of benefits can we get from the risks? There must be some leverage to help me convince Violet herself, right?"
"Don't forget that I almost became their sacrifice when I was in Zalaha City." Kima stretched out his hand towards the second item in Duan Qing's hand. It seemed that the content he was introducing was related to that item.
Equipment has nothing to do with it: "The side in the void probably chose me because of the quality of my soul. As the Lord of Violet, Violet must also be able to see this value.
"
"No way, are you going to put yourself on the shelf?" So Duan Qing put the second item in his hand back to its original place: "You are not afraid that you will try your best, but in the end you will just push yourself into a fire pit.
Into another fire pit?"
"At least the situation won't be worse than it is now." Kima calmly handed the third piece of dagger-like equipment to Duan Qing: "As for what to do after I go to your place - my skills and abilities are still there.
Yes, I also have the eloquence and confidence to pull myself out of the deepest place."
"After all, I have been struggling in this kind of existence since I was young." The dagger was flipping back and forth in front of Duan Qing: "Continuously climbing up and defeating those who try to eat me is not to realize myself.
The ambition is just to continue living - ha, life is so ironic, isn't it?"
"...I admire a life as tenacious as yours." Duan Qing took the dagger: "If you can successfully come to the sacred mountain, I will welcome you on behalf of the Lord of Violet, including those who have been...
People who have been abandoned by fate deserve the freedom and peaceful life they deserve."
"But when Hank quietly told me the contact information, he didn't use such a reason." Duan Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then reached out and took out a heavy money bag: "According to the Shadow Society, you
You are living a prosperous life here, and you are not a prisoner at all."
"That was also a false identity I deliberately gave to the Shadow Society, because apart from this identity, I couldn't find any other suitable channel to attract your attention." The bald gentleman slowly took the money bag handed over by the other party.
Down: "Of course, Hank also helped me a lot in this process. After all, the fact is that I can no longer operate in this area as the Queen of Darkness."
"Now is indeed the best opportunity." Putting the dagger in his arms, Duan Qing waved to the opponent: "Because now is the time of the competition, and a large number of adventurer contestants are pouring into this area."
"Then I'm waiting for your good news?"
"If the information you told me earlier is accurate, I am somewhat confident that I can do it."
Secretly waving to his scattered teammates, Duan Qing turned around and left the place: "Violet should be able to help solve the problem of shackles. All that's left is to wait for the signal I give you, and then——
"
"Everything depends on you."
Just like a customer after a normal transaction, the gray-robed magician merged into the crowd again with a last smile on his lips. The surveillance eyes originally focused on him also followed the end of this seemingly ordinary transaction.
Duan Qing's body gradually spread out to other directions. He touched his nose and let out a breath. Duan Qing, who was walking among the crowd, also shook his somewhat heavy shoulders and gave a low greeting.
As he passed by the exit of the underground square with the crowd, an unexpected voice sounded in his ears: "Hey, why do you look so familiar - why are you here?"
"It's you, Lord Freestone."
Duan Qing was a little surprised to recognize the identity of his visitor. After calming down, Duan Qing turned around and showed an unexpected smile: "How did you come here? This kind of dark and damp place is not suitable for you as the president of the adventurer branch.
His noble status."
"It is the responsibility of the Adventurer Association to handle matters related to adventurers." Walking in front of Duan Qing's team, Feriston's thin body looked particularly slender in the constant reflection of light and shadow: "And since the furnace
After it was opened, it became one of the places with the most adventurers in Tania."
"As the branch president of the Adventurers Association, I must lead by example." Speaking of this, Feriston stretched his head and looked behind Duan Qing: "Look at the hundreds of stalls behind you. If this
If any one of them goes into trouble, even I can’t imagine what explosive events will happen next in this melting pot... By the way, did you just buy something there?"
"Ah, it's a dagger." He made a gesture to brighten the item in his arms, and the smile on Duan Qing's face became more formulaic: "It looked pretty good, so I bought it.
, you know, we adventurers attach great importance to fate, and we finally came across a top-notch item, so of course..."
"But I remember that you and your team didn't come to a place like this to go shopping." Interrupting the other party, Ferris took two steps closer to Duan Qing's direction: "You didn't come here to follow that person.
'Did you meet?"
"The meeting is over." Half a step forward to block Duan Qing's side, Xue Ling Huan Bing blocked the aura emanating from the tall, thin middle-aged man with an indifferent expression: "We are coming along the way.
I found this place due to the hustle and bustle and decided to take a walk here, so I shouldn’t have violated any terms and rules, right?”
"No, of course not, but the competition organized by the adventurers is going on now." His eyes flickered back and forth between Duan Qing and the woman in front of him for a while, and Felicton pushed his hands and stopped in place: "
You are now not only our important guest, but also the central figure in the major events held in Tania. Both the Speaker of the Pamirs and the eldest princesses in the empire now attach great importance to your personal safety——"
Boom!
As if in response to what the branch president said at this time, the sound of a heavy object hitting the wall, accompanied by numerous air shock waves, came from one corner of the circular corridor. Several players were seriously injured after being knocked away.
The body that fell to the ground then seemed to signal the beginning of the chaos, and panicked screams from that direction were scattered among the passers-by players who were fleeing for cover.
