"...Is this the only result that can be achieved?"

"If we continue to force ourselves, the losses on our side may be unacceptable."

"It doesn't matter. Although the adventurer and their subordinates fell short, their strategy is still ruthless and effective enough."

"Then just think of this action as an experiment...hehehe, if you look at it this way——"

"The experiment was successful."

The night of January 15, 796, in the new calendar of the free world, irresistibly replaced the dusk. The dust and turmoil caused by the fall of the "meteor" also gradually decreased with the passage of time. It is located in the church district in the northwest corner of Tania City.

The large ruins near the edge of the city wall are now illuminated as brightly as day by various lights, and various crowds of people who are also illuminated extremely brightly have also surrounded the place. The magic of countless principality guards and wizard councils

In the scene under strict guard by the division, Her Royal Highness Princess Rena, who was wearing a red cloak and covered in gorgeous robes, then walked out of the gorgeous carriage passing by with several imperial soldiers. She looked around or

Countless pairs of eyes looked at him in surprise or vigilance. Finally, they pushed aside the blockade of the encirclement and came to the place where the incident occurred: "...is there any result?"

"The nature and situation have been determined. With the members of the Council of Mages present, the previous report should be conclusive." Randall, who came forward, took the lead in answering the eldest princess's question. He bowed respectfully and raised his face.

But he looked solemn and reserved: "Your Highness, it is too dangerous here, you can't just-"

"No, this is already the safest place in the entire principality capital." She raised her hand to interrupt the other party's words. Princess Reina's eyes flashed at the other principality guards guarding the place and the back of a fat man who was leading the investigation.

Passed: "And looking at the situation in front of me, even if the other party really targets me, this level 10 magic..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely protect His Highness' safety." He immediately replied decisively, and then Landnar lowered his serious voice: "I have sent messengers to spread the news to the empire, and I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely send more

The guards came to help."

"There is no need to be so panicked. Don't let the principality underestimate us."

Waving her hand to stop the opponent's determined attitude, Princess Reina dragged her gorgeous robes towards the front of the ink-colored ice crystal. The countless other low-pitched discussions that came to her ears gradually disappeared and stopped as she approached.

, finally turned into a greeting headed by Carlos, the CEO of the Principality Council: "We are guests from afar. Shouldn't the safety of this guest be the responsibility of the owner?"

"The principality will naturally be responsible for the safety of several distinguished guests, your beautiful Highness." Carlos, who straightened his body and wore standard clothes with his beard raised, replied: "But the premise is that the distinguished guests will not wander around.

Such a major accident just happened here, it is really not suitable for distinguished guests to come and visit."

"But in terms of identity, the person trapped inside is also a distinguished guest from the empire." Pointing to the ink-colored ice crystal not far behind the other party, Reina's face, slightly covered by black gauze, began to look uncomfortable.

Yue: "He has become like this. As a representative of the imperial mission, why don't I come to the scene?"

"As a representative, how can I not seek an explanation from your country?"

The menacing momentum of the superior reached its peak at the end of the investigation. Even Carlos, who was the chief executive of the council and was used to seeing many storms, could not resist it. He dismissed the other followers who were also restless around him, and his eyes also changed.

The other party's flaming noble face was transferred to the distant night: "Of course the principality attaches great importance to this matter. Originally, the Speaker also planned to come here to inspect the situation. However, due to the busy affairs in various parts of Tania, it is still

It is necessary to explain and communicate with more envoys who are also staying here, so——"

"The most important thing is the Council of Mages, right?" Princess Reina put away her domineering gaze and interrupted her words with a wave of her hand, then turned and walked towards the ruins: "They are the professionals, there is no such thing as investigating and appraising them here.

, what can you do with your people alone?"

"Uh, well, that's it." Carlos's square face also showed a wry smile: "Of course the people from the Mages Council are here, but... you have also seen the situation, Your Highness."

"It's not easy for them to get close to that place at the moment."

Located in front of the ruins that Rena was looking at at this time, a huge crater was gradually extending and taking shape in the night with the bricks and rubble still falling around it. The ink-colored ice crystal in the center of this circular crater was

At this time, a large number of adventurers were already filling up the area. The leader, Xuyu Liushang, also suppressed the chaos at the scene with a stern look on his face: "Drive out all those who are in the way! Don't block here anymore!"

"At the latest early tomorrow morning, I will give everyone an explanation! In the form of a press conference! Please ask those who are not involved to leave immediately, now! Immediately!"

"Go find a fire magician, as many as you can find! There is no limit to the reward, as long as the level of magic you know is higher, the better. If you can use level 10 magic, you will get an additional reward of one million gold coins!"

"Where are the people who went to Wizard to contact us? They haven't come back yet? Forget it, I know they won't come forward at this time. Instead of counting on these guys who only rip off people at critical moments, we should count on ourselves - right."

"Where did Thousand Finger Crane go?"

Finally, he found his own person, and the voices of the people who were talking to him and the crowd suddenly came back behind him: "Why hasn't she come yet? Is she also blocked outside?"

"Ning Lan just mentioned it once, Xiao Qian seems to have also gone to see the Mages Council." Holding a huge black shield to form part of the human wall, Gedmaine, who was standing in the way, looked embarrassed and replaced the maid player who had left.

He replied: "Xiao Qian must be aware of this kind of thing that obviously cannot be solved by ourselves."

"Damn it, if only we had a way to contact the Lord of Violet... Phew."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yu Liushang's originally gritted teeth expression turned into a cold expression: "Anyway, now is not the time to hesitate. Do what you need to do first and continue to consolidate the underground furnace.

Defense to prevent people from the Magic Empire from continuing to sneak attacks, and--"

"Put pressure on the Pamirs and the Council of Mages: We have made such great contributions and sacrifices to them, it is time for them to provide some feedback and rewards."

The same rhetoric is being put forward in the negotiations between the New Alliance represented by Jiang Hu and Tania's parliament hall. The results of the previous urban defense system in Tania and the sorting out of the post-war situation have also exploded into a hectic scene.

The scene, and the appeals and pressures put forward by the representatives headed by players were finally spread to the high sky city in the form of "magic issues". After all the hard work, they pushed away the people who were also gathered here.

Reporters and onlookers from all walks of life rushed here in a hurry. Thousand-Zhihe Crane also relied on her own momentum to become the first player to rush into the Hall of Emerald. She frowned and then faced the depressing scene in front of her.

He suppressed his anger, and Fernando Wiggins, who was standing in front of the hall window with his hands behind his back, seemed to have known her arrival for a long time, and turned around with a calm expression: "...Sit down.

"

"Your Excellency Speaker." Qian Zhihe bowed solemnly first, and then spoke again in a hurried voice: "Your Excellency Speaker, my companion -"

"He is not only your companion, he is also my disciple." Shaking his head, Fernando Wiggins' gray beard and hair also shone slightly in the reflection of the magic light in the hall: "And that one

We will also try our best to rescue the dragon lady who understands the principles of space."

"'Eternal Ice' is not something that can be dealt with easily. If the black ice could melt at will, it would not be classified as a level 10 magic by us." Before Qianzhihe, who had a fierce temper, spoke again,

Romulus, who was sitting on the side of the round table in the center of the hall, pressed his cane and replied in a low voice: "And more importantly, there are not many people on the Free Continent who can use this level of magic. According to the information we already know,

Come and see—"

He didn't finish the rest of the words, but his gestures made the implication very clear. Qian Zhihe, who looked to the side following this gaze, immediately spotted a certain figure sitting in the corner of the hall.

The excitement in surprise also subconsciously shouted: "Master!"

"..."

Freya did not respond to Qian Zhihe's fervent call. Freya, who was sitting there, just looked straight at the magic projection of the falling meteorite projected in the center of the hall, and the voice from Prad Infliidi also came from the side.

As the apprentice and reporter of Romulus, he continued to echo in the air in the center of the hall: "We did detect the magic fluctuations of the void in the previous airspace. At that moment, there were indeed enemies from the void.

' appeared in the attacker's position."

He bit the word "enemy" very hard, and the harsh words seemed to hit Freya's heart hard, causing her unmoved brows to tremble a little: "Lord Rex has already

I'm taking people to follow this trace, and I believe there will be more precise results soon."

"This step is actually unnecessary." Romulus shook his head and turned his attention to Wiggins behind him: "Various signs have shown that the biggest rebel in our seven-person parliament has appeared."

"We must face up to this result and prepare for the worst."

As he said these words, his eyes gradually drifted to Freya. After a while, the latter broke the breathless silence with a sigh of her own. Her voice when she spoke again was filled with indescribable hoarseness:

"Sister-sama... will never betray us."

"I understand your feelings, child." Romulus responded in a low voice: "But you have been practicing in the Void Library for too long. Time is passing ruthlessly in our world. No one knows that the 'opposite' is

What’s happening.”

"According to Mr. Shadow Mage, the positioning of Tyran Tower is almost completed." Prad on the side showed a look of disdain: "We should be prepared to transfer this tower that should originally belong to us.

Get the tower back."

"This tower has been in the hands of the enemy for too long. Perhaps along with Christine's fate, it is no longer what we know." Romulus shook his head and sighed: "

Everything must be carefully considered, and our strategy...should also be changed."

"Romulus!" Freya stood up with an angry look on her face: "Don't you—"

"There is nothing you can do about it, unless you can guarantee that your strength will give you an absolute upper hand when fighting against the water mage who converted to the void." He was not afraid of the burning anger of the great flame mage in front of him.

, Romulus closed his eyes and continued: "Otherwise - you have already seen her threat, and the rest of us cannot bear such a blow."

"It's time to choose a new water magician to become a member of the seven-person parliament." Prad, standing behind him, was more direct: "The seat has been vacant for so long, making it difficult for the parliament.

It’s going on! Not only the future of our Mage Council, but also the future of the entire Free Continent – ​​everything cannot stand still!”

"Don't go too far!" Qian Zhihe, who finally couldn't help but stand in front of the dark-faced Freya, with his arms stretched out, shouted back: "You don't even know what it feels like to lose a loved one! Everything.

It’s not irreversible at all—”

"We can't reserve unlimited time."

With his back to everyone present, the speaker of the seven-person parliament standing in front of the window of the Emerald Hall finally broke the silence he had maintained previously: "Now that most of the problems in Sky City have been solved, it is time to fight back.

It’s on the agenda.”

"When all the follow-up matters are dealt with, we will begin to make the final decision." He looked out the window at the night sky high in the sky, as if he was looking at the endless, dark sea: "By then, everyone standing on the side of the void will

It's going to be something we have to deal with, there's no time to wait any longer."

The speaker of the Mages Council said the last words to the red-haired great magician. The latter responded with a moment of silence, and finally allowed the old man by the window to continue: "In

Before that, we need to make preparations within the scope of our respective responsibilities: Romulus, you are still responsible for regulating the city's defense, Rex is responsible for negotiating foreign affairs, and I will personally handle the rectification within the parliament. As for the other

Person...Freya."

"What can you do?"

"I--"

Fernando Wiggins finally turned around and focused the light on Freya in this way. She gritted her teeth after pulling Qianzhihe behind her, but the next words she was about to say were

He was interrupted by a report that followed: "Your Excellency Speaker!"

"That ice crystal is moving!"
