The news of the death of President Hausman of the Principality was finally revealed to the entire Free Continent, but it was not spread in the way that Duan Qing had just seen, but in the way of death that was well known to the world.
Taking this incident as an opportunity, Pamir was able to take over the rule of the principality in the most legitimate way. Even now, without the passage of time, no one seems to know that the man who played Horsman died inexplicably on that road.
What kind of name does the character in the pillar of light have?
The issue that Duan Qing was most concerned about could no longer be verified. Even the group of nobles who appeared in front of him again from Neil Street could not explain this issue to him.
"I have something to say to you."
Fordson, still wearing a decent aristocratic dress and accompanied by a group of guards, appeared in front of Pamir who returned to the parliament hall. He glanced at Duan Qing, who was silent on the side, and finally shook his head and said: "
I know you have a lot of opinions about the nobles in this incident, but... maybe you will change your mind after you see what I want to show you."
"...If you don't even name it, what else do you want us to see?"
"You should know that the nobles of the principality have been living in this place for hundreds of years."
Making an invitation gesture to the others, Fordson turned and walked towards Tower Street: "Although there have been many changes during this period, and although many young people have forgotten their responsibilities, it is undeniable that
...The inheritance belonging to Tadaya is still alive in this world."
"With our lives." He glanced back at the few people who followed him, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door between the towers: "The inheritance is in this world."
It seems that because it is located to the north of the parliament hall, the Tal Room, which was used to entertain distinguished guests, has not been affected by the war at this time. The ancient and luxuriously decorated room is still neat and clean, as if it is waiting for the next time at any time.
A guest arrived. Fordson, who walked into the room first, ignored every piece of clothing and took a few steps to the innermost wall. His eyes stayed for a while on the wall with intricate carvings.
Then he turned around and said: "Although our Fordson family is not a family entrusted here, we are also one of the only families who know this answer. In my original idea, this should be our glory.
But now..."
"It's not anymore."
Under the surprised gazes of everyone, the old man raised his hand and turned around, pointing a ring on his hand at the center of the pattern on the wall. With a creaking and grinding sound, the floor between the towers immediately cracked.
A large hole was dug, and then an ancient spiraling staircase was presented in front of everyone.
"Underground waterways have no access to this place."
Looking at Duan Qing's gaze, Fordson smiled and said: "This secret passage is the only entrance to this secret room."
"What's down here?"
"I don't know either."
To everyone's surprise, the old man shook his head and answered Duan Qing's question: "The secret has been guarded for so long that no one can figure out its purpose, but if you take a look
...Maybe I can understand a little bit."
"Use... purpose?"
"You will know after you take a look."
After saying hello to several guards guarding the door, the old man took the lead and walked down the dim stairs: "When the Restorationists first appeared in front of me, they also claimed that they would answer the secrets of this place.
Considering that they have completed their control of this city, I have made a compromise with them - the aristocratic faction of the principality will not interfere with their actions, and will express support for their position at the appropriate time, and in return... they will
After taking control of the principality, we will continue to maintain our status in the principality and provide the greatest help and support to our inheritance here."
Bright lights suddenly appeared following the footsteps of several people, and then another wall was reflected in front of everyone. However, what was different from the previous wall was that almost everything that appeared on this wall was related to the Free Continent.
An incongruous sci-fi style - gray metal, straight iron beams, flashing lights of various unknown meanings, and runes that appear and disappear, seem to pull everyone away from the exotic city.
We arrived at a secret underground facility full of futuristic atmosphere. On the surface in the center of the wall, pieces of vague text were still flowing left and right. The panel that seemed to be broadcasting something was smaller than the system panel used by the players.
It is much older, but it still gives other people who see this scene an indescribable sense of impact: "This, this is..."
"They always thought that this was also a product of the ancient magic empire."
The old man who walked next to him turned around and smiled: "So I had to comply with their wishes."
"So...you deceived them?" Duan Qing asked: "Those previous statements were all your acting?"
"...It's not all like that."
The old man was silent for a while: "When they first appeared in front of me, I sneered at what these people said, but... a series of events later, as well as the death of Stanford and others, made me believe it.
Their words.”
"Stanford is dead?" Pamir asked in surprise: "How did he..."
"That was the hardest time of my life."
The old man had no intention of answering this question, but sighed deeply: "The Fordson family has experienced countless generation changes and encountered countless storms. The reason why it can remain standing today is because
It is not about glory and wealth, nor about supreme power and status, it is just because we insist on our responsibilities and preserve the secrets that have been guarded for nearly a thousand years. If the principality remains standing, then we will survive forever. If
The principality unfortunately fell..."
"We will still exist forever." In the inexplicably solemn atmosphere, the old man showed a deep smile: "This is what I thought at the time."
"Is this the real reason for your compromise? You are really a qualified politician." Pamir nodded with understanding, and then pointed to the light flashing on the wall: "Then now... why do you want to
Tell us? Have you given up your beliefs?"
"...because you defeated them."
"Is it because of this? With all due respect, Mr. Fords, you don't look like the kind of person who follows the crowd..."
"Because you broke the prophecy."
Following the finger that Fords suddenly raised, Duan Qing looked towards the center of the wall and saw that on the screen that had been displaying something, a piece of text was flowing continuously: "This is...
Tadaya’s prophecy?”
"Yes." The old man replied: "Since the founding of the principality, these words have been displayed in this place, and as the contents foretold on it gradually become reality, our burden has become heavier and heavier.
We have also become more and more cautious. We have been waiting, waiting for this wall to finally open. We always thought that was the time when all the predictions would come true, but now..."
"They have failed." The old man lowered his head: "Because of your efforts, hundreds of years of inheritance... are worthless."
"Well, I think you should maybe reconsider the way you interpret the prophecy..."
"I just want you to take responsibility for this change of fate."
Looking up at the crowd in front of him, Fords's eyes flashed with a light that could only appear in an old man of this age: "So, I share our family's secrets with you, and I hope you can always remember it in the days to come...
…”
"You are walking on a brand new road." He stretched out his hands: "A road... that even Tadaya's ancestors did not expect."
Rumble——
As his voice fell, the metal wall in front of everyone suddenly underwent unimaginable changes, and then with a violent flash of light, a dark and gloomy gap was revealed. Everyone, including Fortes,
Everyone opened their eyes wide in surprise, looking straight at the scene that was about to appear behind the gap. However, the boundless darkness fell around Duan Qing one step ahead, completely wrapping his body and consciousness.
"Holy shit..."
He was stunned for a long time, and operated on his system panel for a while. Finally, after exiting the game, he saw the real reason why he was kicked offline on the official website of the free world.
Update and maintenance: from 0:00 on the 4th to 0:00 on the 6th.
Time remaining: 4 hours and 59 minutes.
*************************
The updated news of the Free World was announced after the two League Cup champions emerged. Due to the complexity of the situation at the time, the news was not notified to all players immediately - according to the original idea of the league, because watching the game
The offline players should have accounted for the vast majority, so the final announcement at the venue would not cause much shock. However, many people were fighting to the death in Tania on the day of the finals.
Later, team competitions appeared, so there were not a few players who were kicked offline because they went online to check the situation, support the war, or celebrate victory online, not to mention the big bosses of the guild forces.
Fortunately, even at this point, the players still have no intention of complaining, because everything that has happened in the past few hours has been enough for them to discuss for a long time.
First of all, the results of the two finals made many viewers exclaim, "Sure enough," because Wings of Freedom, who has been the second best player in the past ten thousand years, won the individual and team competitions this time.
Still only got the second place in the game. Countless non-Wings of Freedom fans, while despising the failure of the "Human Sea Tactics", also expressed their deep sympathy and concern for the results of Wings of Freedom inside and outside the game.
, and the supporters of the Wings of Liberty were more concerned about the performance of their opponents in the two games, and... the fact that they failed.
"Forget about the team competition, it's just bad luck at best, but Duan Shanhe's performance is definitely abnormal." This is their most popular opinion at the moment: "He must have cheated!"
"His movements and moves... are inhuman, inhuman!"
"It's either an injection or a pill... No, is this generation of virtual technology still useful if it takes pills?"
"Get up...this scene seems familiar?"
For professional players, this scene is of course familiar, because a few years ago when a certain dynasty began to dominate the virtual reality gaming world, they also asked similar questions. Rumors about Yi Sword also began to appear at that time.
In people's field of vision, the topic of what Duan Shanhe understood was soon relegated to the shadows in the memories of some professionals, and became a historical mystery that is difficult to prove. There are good people who do good things.
I once wanted to act as a reporter for a post-game interview and wanted to know my thoughts and explanations. However, judging from the feedback they subsequently gave on major forums, it appeared that the attempts made by these people were almost the same -
No comment.
As a result, similar speculations became more intense, although in the eyes of those professional players, this was almost something they knew well.
Regarding the venue and the result of the final battle, it soon became another hot topic among a large number of players in their spare time, because they soon discovered that the second best player in the world had a chance to win by relying on a last-ditch effort.
The battle was actually something that actually took place in the game. Questions such as whether Pamir survived, the appearance of the mysterious purple light, the withdrawal of the empire, and the final outcome of the principality soon became the most prominent questions in this incident.
However, there were not many parties involved in this incident, and the total number of players present was less than 100, so there were very few who could reveal one or two details in the end. The rest were all waiting to see the big show, or wanting to watch the big show.
Onlookers. The Wings of Freedom blockers, led by half a box of cigarettes, may have been unwilling to mention the fact that they were sent back to their hometown by a small adventure team out of shame. Naturally, the few players who were involved in the dark forces would not
Risking being discovered and appearing in front of the crowd, fearing that his life would be in danger, only the official spokesperson of Jianghu came out with a few sentences, claiming that they had foiled the conspiracy to overthrow the principality, but the specific details, as well as some
Players are concerned about the above-mentioned questions. They, the outsiders among the players, have no way to solve the problem amidst the siege of many players.
"Isn't it because your plan to beat up the drowned dog failed, so you want to find a place to come back?"
With a smile, he turned off the hot topics he was reading, and Duan Qing stretched out his long waist. The tired feeling that had not been experienced for a long time and penetrated into the soul finally began to gradually hit him as his spirit relaxed.
In his mind, there was still a knock on the door belonging to a certain girl outside the house, and her chirping shouting that she wanted to go out. Duan Qing smiled helplessly, and finally closed the chat board about asking for salary relief.
, slowly opened the door of the game cabin: "I... It's midnight now. Even if I go out to play, I have to wait until dawn at least..."
His movements suddenly stopped, and at the same time, he also stopped getting out of the game cabin, because his friend's profile picture, which he originally thought would never light up again, suddenly lit up at this time.
[The other party has sent a call request, do you want to accept it?]
