In the end, Duan Qing’s story was not told.
Christine, who had been sitting motionless in the darkness, came to everyone at some point and interrupted their pleasant exchange.
"It's a pity that you didn't follow my advice, but that doesn't matter. I will respect your opinions." The soft voice of a mature woman is always so pleasant, but it is a pity that everyone's attention was attracted by the content of her words: "
Therefore, I also hope that you can understand the current situation before making the final choice."
The gorgeous blue robe unfolded with a crash, and slowly fell down along with a gust of fragrance unique to mature women. As the bonfire swayed, the woman in blue robe sat down opposite them.
"Because of... a relationship with a certain person, you decided to move on. Well... this is very good, it is in line with the character of an adventurer, and at the same time it is also... troublesome." Kelly
The unique ending sound in Sitin's words, accompanied by her soft sigh when she pauses, always makes people feel that listening to her words is a kind of enjoyment.
"Of course, if you follow my advice and accept my protection, I can make these troubles less troublesome..."
Her words were like tongue twisters, but Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing could still understand them. After a moment, Duan Qing asked carefully: "You mean, you hope that we can follow your arrangements..."
His eyes moved, and the blue pupils flashed across Duan Qing's face, and then narrowed with the owner's smile: "...Although I am not on the same page with that girl Freya, she has something to say to me.
Still agree."
"You will feel much better if you talk to your smart brother."
There was another period of silence, and A Niu next to him suddenly jumped up: "Let us hang out with you, right? Why... uh uh uh..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Mengzhu on the side quickly covered his mouth and pulled him back.
"It would be our greatest honor to be able to take shelter under a great magician..." Duan Qing touched his chest with his right hand and bowed again: "But since we have chosen this path, then we should
Take responsibility for this... that is, any difficulties after this are what we should face, aren't you, beautiful sister?"
This time, the title "beautiful sister" did not make the other party happy again. As if she was touched by something, Christine fell into deep thought.
The slightly curly silk swayed with the night wind. The woman in blue robe lowered her head and said nothing. The feeling of silence like water made the other people a little at a loss. Duan Qing hugged himself - he was still wearing new clothes.
The clothes are not windproof - Mengzhu next to him noticed Duan Qing's movements, his eyes rolled, and then he looked at A Niu who was restless next to him, and Xue Ling Huan Bing who was looking around with eye contact.
The latter originally wanted something, but was stopped by Duan Qing. He tilted his chin towards the woman in blue robe, signaling not to disturb her.
"I understand." Finally, Christine nodded, then raised her head and said, "Since you are so aware..."
She clapped her hands, and the mysterious patterns loomed on her fair skin: "Then let me briefly introduce what you are about to face."
She stretched out a hand and pointed further away: "The woman in your team should be looking for some ruins deep in the Emerald Forest, where..." She put her hand down and started again.
Facing everyone: "To be precise, it's a ruins."
"A ruins on the border of the ancient magic empire."
"As you know, this is the south of the Free Continent. But you may not know that if you go over this area..." She gestured with her hands: "It is the Emerald Forest, and then go to
To the south, there is a mountain range, and beyond that is the endless ocean."
She blinked: "Do you understand what it means?"
Amidst the crackling bonfire, Duan Qing answered first: "This...is a place close to the edge of the continent."
"Yes. You are in the south of the continent, and almost the most southerly." Christine smiled: "Although the Emerald Forest is very big, it was not like this thousands of years ago. In today's Emerald Forest,
In the center, there should be a place similar to the border. Oh, I mean the ancient magic empire era."
She flirted: "Of course, this place is inaccessible now, and it is probably the same as now, it has become a forest... We also obtained some during the recent survey of the Fran ruins, um...
...Clues, and mutual corroboration with known history, and finally a guess.”
"Thousands of years ago, there may have been a border station there. And clues indicate that it was not an ordinary border station. Its existence...had another purpose."
Several people have been attracted by the history told by Christine. Even Aniu, who was originally a little unhappy, was also moved by the scenes outlined in these words. If the evil young man from Jie City was here, he would definitely
You are very excited, because the knowledge that the great magician tells you personally will be your bragging rights in the future, but in comparison, the people in front of you pay more attention to practical things. Christine paused for a moment,
It seemed that they were given time to digest the information, but before long, the woman in the black cloak continued the topic - she obviously knew more than the few people next to her.
"Is your use something like that place, the existence research institute..."
Kristine looked at the woman again, and then said: "We don't know about this kind of thing, which is also...the reason why we are here."
Several people did not notice the important meaning of this sentence, but Xue Ling Huan Bing obviously noticed it, so she could not hide her shocked look: "You... the Mage Council, are you ready to participate in this matter?
"
Duan Qing finally understood that if a major force in the game like the Mages Council decided to participate in the excavation of the ruins, the benefits that the players would receive would be much less.
Christine's face began to become serious, as if she did not intend to make concessions on this aspect: "Even if Mr. Wildy is standing here, our position will not change. It is our responsibility to collect and manage the relics of the Magic Empire."
The Mages Council should fulfill its responsibilities! You..."
Her voice became soft again: "There are many variables in these relics. We cannot let these things fall into the hands of others. If people like you take them, it will only attract more dangers."
"This is my advice...and advice."
Even if Christine doesn't, everyone understands the principle of "every man is not guilty but only carries the treasure", but as a game, everyone is not afraid of death. If you don't have this pursuit, then you have to quit the virtual world.
In the game circle, I wrote the word "coward" on my face.
However, the direction of showing off one's strength still needs to be corrected.
"We understand what you mean." Duan Qing straightened his face: "We, including her..." He pointed at the Snow Spirit Huanbing: "None of us have the intention to get involved in those things, we are just adventurers."
"Going deep into ruins, digging for secrets, and getting rewards are the responsibilities of adventurers. The nature of adventurers is to explore every corner of the world. For this reason, we go deep into barren mountains, steep mountains, swamps and abyss.
In the boundless desert, we foresee countless dangers and obstacles, but we never stop, even though countless predecessors have fallen on this road full of thorns."
These words were so impassioned that even Xue Ling Huan Bing turned his head in surprise, thinking that this guy actually still had some information in his heart, and he could say a few words to the adventurers so eloquently. Duan Qing ignored the people around him.
He looked at it and continued to pat his chest: "Since things are like this now, we have no intention of offending the interests of the Master Council, but we hope to witness the birth of the new phenomenon. This is the ultimate reason that drives us forward.
"
"Hope you can understand how we feel."
The girl also puffed up her chest and clapped, and Liu Qingniu on the side also cheered. Duan Qing put on a serious expression, but his mouth moved slightly. Next to him, Xue Ling Huan Bing was talking quietly.
"You are very eloquent and very capable..."
"Nonsense...how can you play games these days if you don't know how to speak..."
Kristine on the opposite side nodded: "In that case, I will take you to visit there. If you have such an awareness, no matter what situation you encounter, you will probably..."
"but......"
Duan Qing continued.
"Risks and benefits coexist. If there are any consequences of our own, I hope you can respect the wishes of us adventurers, for the sake of our lives being a bet..."
"Oh..." Kristine smiled knowingly: "That's it..."
"I understand." She looked at Duan Qing with interest: "Discovering secrets and getting rewards are both indispensable, right..."
Duan Qing scratched his head and acted stupidly. Mengzhu covered his face with his hands, feeling ashamed of his excitement just now.
"We are not angry people either." Christine held her chin with the back of one hand and tilted her head back and forth: "We don't like the things you adventurers want. The things we need.
, you probably won’t be interested either…”
"I would like to hear the details." Duan Qing understood what he meant - at this point, the matter has basically entered the final stage.
"Records related to the ancient magic empire, no matter what form they are in, we will take away. As well as key equipment, threatening weapons and equipment, scrolls, magic weapons, or gems..."
Christine began to count things with her soft fingers, interspersed with Duan Qing's "righteous words". The scene seemed like a negotiation, but Mengzhu on the side listened to these words, and became more and more excited.
It feels like they haven't even seen a single hair before they've already started the spoils-sharing meeting.
She secretly glanced at the woman in the black cloak on the other side, and found that she was also smiling secretly. The girl suddenly felt that this uncle who negotiated with NPCs in a strict manner was really bad... somewhat powerful.
This is a true empty-handed wolf.
In fact, Christine also understands this. But with her identity and strength, she really doesn't care about these things - how can she make concessions on the things she cares about.
After some back and forth, the basic division of the results of the excavation of the unseen ruins has been made clear. Duan Qing nodded with satisfaction: "...That's basically it. We are very grateful to the Great Magic
Teacher’s understanding…and generosity.”
"Ah, I've been through it before." Christine replied: "I like to deal with smart people, at least they won't hold me back."
"Then, one last request..." Seeing that the final negotiation was about to end, Duan Qing once again raised the final question: "We don't mind handing over all the relevant information about the ancient magic empire discovered this time to the Council of Mages.
But can you please satisfy our curiosity as adventurers and let us take a look at the contents?"
There was no wind. Although there were fireflies of various colors appearing in the woods at night, the sudden tranquility was still a bit disturbing. It wasn't until Duan Qing felt something was wrong that the woman in blue robe slowly said: "We
...don't want this stuff... to spread."
"We can guarantee this, we just want... to know more."
Duan Qing chuckled: "You know, adventurers are all... cats killed by curiosity."
"...Well, as long as you can find it, it doesn't matter if I let you take a look." The woman in blue robe also laughed, and then her smile faded: "But I want to remind you, if you go
Later, some strange rumors appeared on the mainland, and we will put our suspicious eyes on your heads first."
Duan Qing nodded solemnly.
The scene fell silent again for a while, and several people were making their own calculations. They had some fears and some expectations for the upcoming future. After a while, the figure in blue robe took the lead in clapping.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's take a rest early. Having sufficient physical strength is still very important for taking risks." Christine's unique soft voice echoed in everyone's ears again: "Do you have any questions?
If you can put it forward now and can answer it, I will definitely answer it..."
Before she finished speaking, A Niu, who was sitting on the side, raised his hand as if he had just woken up from sexual intercourse: "Me! I have a problem."
Christine looked at him, her beautiful blue eyes made him a little embarrassed, so she spoke hurriedly: "Just now, what you just said...are all true?"
Poof... Duan Qing spurted out a mouthful of old blood - if he could do it.
Mengzhu obviously also felt that this stupid green man really lost the face of their adventurers, so he had to rush to say: "Well, um, I have a problem too!"
Christine was there looking dumbfounded. When she heard Mengzhu's voice, she replied: "Oh, sister, do you have any questions?"
"Well..." Mengzhu also shouted out of desperation. Now he had to rely on his own wit: "I...I..."
The way the girl frowned and thought was actually very nice. Unfortunately, because the question was asked in a hurry, she was immersed in her own entanglements: "Uh... um... that, that's right!"
She finally remembered something: "You seemed to have done it before... It seemed to have happened... Oops, I forgot something, anyway..."
The girl put her hands on the ground and swayed back and forth like a roly-poly, with her golden ponytail also swaying: "In your Council of Mages, are you the only one coming this time?"
"Oh, of course not." Christine was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect to hear such a question: "My good sister is also here, although she is a girl who never listens to others...
..”
"Is that person... wearing red clothes..." The girl became even more excited. Duan Qing looked at her and the ponytail on the back of her head, admiring her quick wit.
"Well, it's her...have you seen her?" Christine was really surprised this time.
Xueling Huanbing also remembered something: "Could it be that person..."
"What do you know?" Duan Qing asked quietly from the side.
In the whispers of Xueling Huanbing, Mengzhu explained to Christine: "We heard from Benny before..."
"...That's right." Christine sighed and said, "We did meet him together before. He was a very pitiful child..."
Amid the conversation between the two, Duan Qing finally became serious after listening to Xue Ling Huan Bing's whispers.
"Senior Sister Magic." He thought for a while and finally interrupted the conversation: "I also have a question."
"You should have done dangerous things before. I want to hear... What specific aspects are you referring to?"
This time, the woman in blue robe finally put away her relaxed expression and her face became heavy.
