To the north of the city of Tania is a high platform composed of ring-shaped buildings, with ascending stairs unevenly distributed in every corner. Among them, the highest map mark is located in Tania
The high platform of the edict in the northeast, and like other places in this area, except for a vast stone platform and a tall building with only four columns that are so empty that you can see the bottom at a glance, there seems to be nothing here worthy of people's attention.
The earth huts built by the residents who lived in the north of the city surrounded the foot of the city in a circular community. From the limited facts known to the players who often lived here these days, this platform located in front of the mountain
The greatest function seems to be to place the sacred scales - to judge criminals and other unjust people.
Of course, no player wants to be sent to this platform as a criminal, so another main reason why this place is well known by the player community is because this high platform with more than ten floors is a place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city.
Good place.
"Evost has sent a reply."
Above the platform overlooking the city, two black figures also wearing hoods were squatting on the edge one behind the other, constantly patrolling the city in the afternoon: "That old guy... has indeed been exiled to this place."
"...Why didn't you report it in time?"
"Maybe he is afraid that we will blame him."
The setting sun gradually set in the west and stirred up gusts of breeze, lifting up the corners of the black cloaks on the two men: "He who thinks he has not completed the task...may be secretly working hard somewhere."
"Try...to kill that Gustan?"
The man who spoke before shook his head and glanced at the tall building behind the platform: "If you want to become famous and rise to the top, you don't need to use such extraordinary methods. What Gustan should accept is not an artificial end, but
The judgment of fate."
"The trial...may have already begun."
Another black figure sat down on the edge of the platform, and his legs seemed to have swung high into the air: "I can see... this city is gradually entering the future of death. If nothing happens,
…Those who restore will win the final victory.”
"That's not necessarily the case... right?"
The colleague turned his head: "The signs we have seen before indicate that Freya is active nearby, and Wiggins has not expressed his position. They are all people with enough power to change destiny. If they take action...
…”
"In fact, they have already taken action."
Another dark figure looked in the direction of a library located to the west of them: "Even we can hide this place... Apart from the Council of Mages, who else can do it?"
"……snort."
The man from before gave a low sneer: "That old guy knows better than anyone the consequences of going against fate. If he can withstand the shackles it brings...then we have nothing to say."
"He is not the only one who has to bear the shackles." Another person shook his head and replied: "If Freya is here, then Christine, who is inseparable from her, must also be there, plus the wind magician... there are more than half of them.
The seven-member council is enough to withstand everyone's anger."
"But they may not be willing to do that."
Looking at the figure kneeling in front of a parliament hall not far below the platform, surrounded by some onlookers, the man shook his head and sighed: "The Council of Mages cannot interfere in the secular world, even in the name of defeating the Restorationists.
, they are also unable to fully accept a principality that has no dragons or dragons. Today, Pamir has almost become a chopping block, and once he is gone, the city will eventually fall into the hands of those people."
"Destiny...hey, this is the charm of fate." Another dark figure also laughed: "The fate that cannot be changed no matter what, is the truth we are pursuing."
"So... we don't have to worry too much." The black figure who spoke first concluded: "As long as we can continue to follow this path, then we can get everything. The loss of life is not counted in front of this torrent.
What, even ourselves..."
"We can accept death, but others can't."
Pointing in the direction of Yare Street, the black figure with his legs in the air looked into the autumn wind and put up his hood: "Those civilians, officials, nobles, and even the soldiers of the empire... In order to change their fate against heaven, they may all
There’s some resistance.”
"A futile struggle."
The first black shadow shook his head: "Don't pay attention to them."
"The Lord of the City of Freedom has sent a special envoy, and he seems to want to get involved in this matter."
"Huh... welcome. As long as he doesn't come in person, all these efforts will only increase the shackles."
"So...that's what we've decided?"
"So be it."
The first black figure slapped the black robe and stood up: "There is no need to take action in the matter here. Let Ivost come back. Gustan's fate... will also be decided by himself."
"...Okay, I will bring him back."
Another black figure jumped up from the edge of the platform: "There is only one question left."
"What?"
"Adventurer." Another dark figure said slowly.
"They? Huh, what can a group of ants do?"
"You and I have seen the activity of adventurers in recent times." The man pulled the hood around his neck: "People from the Empire, people from the Principality, and many others mixed in.
...If these people work together, they may really be able to change the fate of this city."
"But they are completely scattered, and they are still fighting each other."
"But they will also cooperate, if... the conditions are right."
The two black figures looked at each other in mid-air for a while, and the man before slowly lowered his head: "Is this possibility...possible?"
"There is currently no indication of that."
Another person stretched out his hand: "According to my observation, most of these people are still ignorant of the truth. They are just here for their own interests and want to grab a piece of the upcoming cake.
...In addition, their position is also very complicated. There are also some members belonging to powerful forces entrenched here. It seems that they also want to take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie..."
"Are you referring to the adventure group called Wizard?" the first black shadow asked: "Those people who often appear in the Mages' Council?"
"Yes, there are people from the City of Freedom." Another black figure replied: "The dark organization that once attacked Pamir seems to have sent its men again, and the local warrior home seems to have some people who are ready to take action.
sign……"
"interesting."
Heiying sighed and said: "So many actors suddenly made me a little interested."
"What, you don't want to leave again?"
"Wouldn't it be a pity to miss this once-in-a-century show?"
The man turned around and looked towards the city center below the platform again: "After Lorna disappeared and Gustan escaped, I have..."
“It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed such a good show again.”
******************************
“It’s just a group of people who know how to watch a show!”
In Tania City, where Jianghu is stationed, Duan Shanyue, who looked angrily, slammed the paper in his hand on the table in front of him: "You think the matter is not big enough, right? If the principality really collapses,
Labor and management will be the first to go to them to settle accounts!"
"Are you going to settle accounts with a bunch of melon-eaters?" The young man, leaning in the corner with his arms folded, responded with a smile: "No, brother, I'm not as angry as you."
"Shut up and get back to your game."
Duan Shanyue, who had a beard on his face, glared at the opponent: "If you can't win back the championship... I think we will skin you!"
"Hey, brother, are you so cruel?" Duan Shanhe, who was dressed in blue, quickly raised his hands: "Besides, the eldest brother should go first in tonight's game. I don't have much to do in the team competition...
"
"There's no need to rush about the competition."
The man with the scar sitting in the middle had a low voice, but it suppressed all the quarrels between the two brothers next to him: "The top priority right now...is still how to keep Tania."
"Can we believe what Gregson said before?"
"The fall of Tania City is also a huge blow to them. They should... try their best."
Duan Fenglei said calmly: "We don't have much choice now. Since they promised to defend the south gate, we have no choice but to help them."
"Weizard also sent us communications before." Duan Shanyue continued: "They also want to help us defend the city, but the conditions... are too high."
"Defend the city? Are you sure they really want to do this?"
Before Duan Fenglei could reply, the young man on the side spread his hands and questioned: "Before I was in the city, I saw them looking for shops everywhere. They looked determined to get it, as if this place was already their own territory.
Same……"
"This is one of their requests..." Duan Shanyue raised his head and leaned back on his seat: "If the defense of the city is successful, they want to acquire twelve stores from us, and the addresses have been selected...
Hey, you are very good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes."
"The advantage is currently in their hands, and such a result is inevitable." Duan Fenglei replied in a low voice: "Considering the consequences of failure, such conditions are acceptable, let alone under the suggestion of the scholar..."
"Scholar? Are you planning a conspiracy?"
"This kind of sinister idea was probably his idea, but if Wizard's appetite is so big, then they must have a reason to do this. Considering the Mage Council they hold in their hands, such a situation is very likely to exist.
." The scar-faced man lowered his head and said: "If they know the inside story, then they will naturally have the solution to this endgame, and this also means..."
"The enemies we face may be beyond our imagination." Duan Shanhe continued with a serious look on his face: "Only they are sure to solve it."
"The Sword of Justice actually got it right again, this broken game..." Duan Shanyue slapped the table and shouted, "Why is the information we have so unbalanced in a world of swords and magic?"
"Almost all of our forces are in the principality, but now it is about to end." Duan Fenglei shook his head: "So this situation... is absolutely normal."
"At this point, we can only act based on other people's faces. Unless... we have a way to turn the tide."
When he got here, he looked around at the two people around him, and then got the same answer from their faces: "...him?"
"Where is he now?"
"Didn't he also attend the funeral yesterday? He should probably be resting now, right?"
"No, he is wanted now. Even if he is online, he is not in the city at all..."
"Have you run away already?"
"I don't know, but given our current situation, it seems a little difficult to find him..."
"Don't worry, he will show up tonight."
The man with the scarred face attracted the attention of the two people again with one sentence: "I'm not talking about the free world, but tonight's game."
"...Solution's work?" Duan Shanyue asked.
"Don't think about the issue of public opinion anymore."
As he stood up, Duan Fenglei began to make the final arrangements: "We have seen those ugly men a lot. As long as we play well, they won't cause much trouble. You'd better lead your people to guard them first.
City, beware of imperial raids, third brother..."
He turned around and said, "This task is very important, so I'll leave it to you."
Duan Shanhe said nothing and just nodded calmly.
"The response of the principality is very important, and it is also a matter of great concern to us. The president and parliament have not issued a result yet. It must be that the imperial people's advance has put too much pressure on them. We need this first-hand information to come
Determine our future stance and plans, so..."
"Don't let us be so passive anymore, understand?" He looked at the bearded man: "Go and find out all this information."
"I will contact those congressmen." Duan Shanyue nodded solemnly: "There is also the Sword of Justice... Since they have been prepared for it and are familiar with the nobles, they must know something."
"It seems that we can only rely on ourselves for the safety of the city at the moment." Duan Feng Lei nodded in response, and then started operating his own game system: "The brothers who secretly protect Pamir cannot withdraw, search the underground black market
We need to send more manpower, we can't waste the great gift that person gave us, and the guys who are secretly causing trouble must be found out before the war breaks out."
"Brother, what about you?"
"The game is about to start, I have to rush to the venue."
Duan Fenglei's body began to glow with fluorescence: "Other things... I will find a way."
"But……"
"It doesn't matter."
Before disappearing, a smile appeared on the man's scarred face: "It's been so many years..."
"My old face is nothing."
Snapped.
The image gradually disappeared, and the game cabin belonging to the real world gradually appeared in front of a man with the same scarred face. He shook his head, slowly opened the cabin door, and then shone in the light from the outside world.
When he hit his head, he stretched out his hand to cover his face: "Alas..."
"To actually get to this point... hmph."
With a wry smile, he waved away a few subordinates who ran over to him. The man sat on the edge of the cabin in a daze for a while, and then sat back in the cabin. While brewing his emotions, he opened his friend list and started a conversation that he had not done in many years.
Communication work done: "Are you here?"
"Not here."
"I%a%#......"
A bunch of curse words came out of his mouth, and the man laughed and cursed and continued to reply: "I have something to ask you about Tania City."
The chat window was silent in front of him for a while, and then suddenly started shaking.
[The other party has made a voice communication request, do you want to accept it?]
