"Through this incident, everyone in the principality has a new understanding of the group of adventurers."

In the still noisy parliament hall, Pamir looked at the hole and said in a gentle voice: "I admit that even a person like me has never thought of letting adventurers participate in the highest authority of the principality before.

, the previous adventurer bill was just a whimsical idea that I had because of your series of performances... Well, looking back now, at that time, my first thought may have been to balance the forces, so-called adventure.

The introduction of others is just a flood caused by me to compete with the aristocratic faction and the civilian faction..."

"...If your comments like this get out, everyone will spray them to death."

"Squirt...die?"

"The lingo of the adventure world means being scolded to death."

After smacking his lips and uttering these words, Duan Qing simply sat down on the ground next to Pamir: "But since we don't know anything about it, and now it's like this again, there's no point in going back to worry about those trivial things.

It makes no sense, and it is not a good thing to add chaos to the current situation... But based on the current situation, will everyone in the principality agree to your proposal? Not to mention the nobles, even the local princesses and garrison officers

…”

"They will agree, because the so-called parliament... is just an exchange of interests, nothing more."

Pamir's voice was still calm and low: "As long as they are given enough exchange, they can even rush over with local soldiers regardless of their own safety. Even now, they are still under huge pressure to confront the imperial people... not to mention those who are hesitant.

The former nobles, as well as the frightened common people."

"Yes, they are all people who succumbed to the restorationists." Looking at Duan Qing's strange expression, Pamir gave out two helpless smiles: "On one side, they gave up for the so-called fate and for the so-called survival.

own dignity, and at the same time pushed the principality to the point of destruction...Should I applaud the restorationists' ability to play tricks, or should I feel sad for these people in the principality?"

"No, maybe everything is just a certain fate." Before Duan Qing could say anything, Pamir shook his head and said: "The people who lead this principality are not the president or the speaker, but you.

Everyone included.”

"It is your choice that determines the fate of this country and the future of the principality."

Familiar words rang in Duan Qing's ears again, waking him up suddenly. Pamir, who was immersed in remembrance, did not notice the abnormality of the other party, but still secretly sighed: "Maybe I should be glad that I and the people

There are people like you around us to help. You and those adventurers who are not afraid of sacrifice have broken this established destiny. The aristocrats and the civilians no longer need me to elaborate too much. They have already learned from what you have done.

I feel your tremendous energy - the adventurers of the Free Continent are capable of creating any miracle."

"As the first witness and initiator, I should accept my responsibility. In the process of rebuilding the principality, I will include you, who have made great contributions, into the center of power of the principality." He said to Duan Qing: "Don't hesitate, and don't refuse.

, this is what you deserve, as for the original congressmen... hum."

"They should also shoulder their own responsibilities, and at the same time..." Pamir's voice gradually turned cold: "They should bear their own responsibilities."

"Didn't you just...were the Restorationists coercing them?"

A soulless murmur suddenly echoed in the dark void in front of him, and then sounded faintly along with Duan Qing's voice: "How were they coerced?"

"You should have heard about the situation of the aristocratic faction from Fortes." Pamir turned his head and looked at Duan Qing, who was in an abnormal state for a while, and finally answered his question: "As for the civilian faction...according to Kangnai

Lee told me later that he seemed to have received a warning from someone sent by Fords."

"warn?"

"Yes, that should also be one of the members of the aristocratic faction. He brought a joint statement between the aristocratic faction and... the restorationists." The speaker recalled: "The letter mentioned that the principality has decided to compromise with the empire.

, hand over a large number of war criminals, including me, into the hands of the imperial people, and if they don’t agree...then add them to the list."

"...So explicit?" Duan Qing murmured: "They...just arrested them without any help?"

"It wasn't there at the time, but the next night...two civilian congressmen suddenly disappeared."

Pamir shook his head and said: "Now... I haven't found it back yet."

"..."

Duan Qing said nothing, and seemed to be staring at the huge pothole in front of him like the speaker. After a period of wordless silence, Pamir's voice sounded again: "Of course, we have just learned now that Fords did not

Although we have intervened in this matter, we can already see how much control the restorers had over Tania at that time..."

"Being able to defeat them is simply a miracle." He sighed: "So I still have to be grateful..."

"Connelly and several other members should have participated in the final meeting, right?" Duan Qing suddenly interrupted: "Didn't he see anything?"

"See...what?"

"The abnormality of the aristocracy, the abnormality of the congressmen, and...the abnormality of the president." Duan Qing's eyes gradually became sharp: "Even if Sumili...even if he had received a warning from the underground black market,

But for the president’s huge changes at that time, didn’t he notice even a trace of abnormality?”

"Who led this change?" Duan Qing stared at Pamir's face: "You should have a conclusion now, right?"

"yes……"

Time seemed to become slower and slower with Pamir's hesitation, as if the man had fallen into deep thought. His eyes drifted back and forth in the pit in front of him, his hands began to shake unconsciously, and his lips

He also started to tremble: "Yes... they seem to..."

"Have they all forgotten?" Duan Qing asked further: "Forget it about Connelly, has Fortes also forgotten?"

"I...I don't know." Pamir looked back at Duan Qing's face: "The person pretending to be the president...should be a restorer, but...I...I should have fought with him before...

I have met him face to face, but I don’t know his real name or his true appearance..."

"People whose destiny is cut off will gradually disappear from this world."

Inexplicably recalling the words of an old man in his mind, Duan Qing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. A series of questions that were originally born due to certain memories were suddenly shattered because of this reappearance of the sign.

, flew to an unknown distance: "Forget it, forget it, let's just skip this matter for now. We will continue to pursue the matters related to the restorers in the future... Regarding the follow-up matters of those people, do you plan to let them know?

How do they do it?"

"The Parliament of the Principality will accept your joining. This is the promise made by Fortes."

Pamir, who had left the topic, seemed to have regained his previous calmness, and his voice became fluent again: "As for Connelly... he will come to you personally. According to my guess, it should be about business.

Things like cooperation and development…”

"Our team leader will be very happy when he hears this news." So Duan Qing nodded: "He will be more happy than hearing that adventurers can join the council."

"...Why, don't you want to become a member of parliament?"

"Of course, we are adventurers, and it is our job to explore the secrets of the Free Continent."

Duan Qing waved his fist in a gesture: "This incident in Tania was just a chance meeting for us. As for continuing to deal with you old politicians... Haha, you should spare me. I

I can introduce you to a few people. The ones from Jianghu are very good. Of course, in terms of experience in maneuvering, a few guys from the Sword of Justice can also be..."

"In fact..."

This time, it was Pamir's turn to suddenly interrupt Duan Qing: "I'll call you here today. There is another important matter I want to leave to you."

"……What?"

"The delegation from Liberty City is about to return."

Pamir pointed to the wooden table behind him, which was still filled with mountains of documents: "It seems that they have received a summons from the city lord, and they are leaving here soon. Considering routine etiquette and safety along the way,

I hope to be able to send a few people to follow them to the Free City, to express my gratitude to the city lord Van Gaal, and at the same time serve as a witness and report to him everything that happened here..."

"Hey, you're not asking me to go, are you?" Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hands: "You can't find anyone, but you want to find an adventurer like me? And it's such an important thing..."

"We are about to start the second round of negotiations with the empire."

Pamir looked into Duan Qing's eyes: "Different from the previous surrender-style negotiation, this time it is a comprehensive negotiation based on the causes and consequences of this war, as well as a series of existing conditions. The current countries of the Free Continent

In the Federation, except for those who belong to the Principality, they are also those who belong to the Empire. The only one in a neutral position... is the Free City."

"This trip... is related to the success or failure of the negotiation." He patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "Our current conditions are very poor and we are at a disadvantage. If we don't win the support of Van Gaal... it will be difficult in the future. As a testimony

Although the Sorcerer's Council of Mages will also participate in this negotiation, they will obviously not take a stand like the Free City. After all, they only control nearly half of the escapist mages on the Free Continent, and Van Gaal...

He is the lord of a city."

"That is..." Duan Qing sighed: "You hope that I can convince the city lord to support you?"

"At least don't openly oppose my control of the principality, at least... not now."

Pamir stood up slowly: "You should be extremely aware of the current fragility of the principality. You should also be the person who knows the most about everything that happens in the principality. There is no doubt about your strength, and your reputation among adventurers is sufficient.

Wei Zhong, if you are sent to report to Van Gaal... I believe you can use your own personal experience to prove our innocence."

"You are the most suitable person to do this." He showed a sincere smile: "Are you interested in accepting it?"

"...Believe me, if you post this task on the Adventurer Association's request board, a lot of people will come to apply for it."

Duan Qing patted the dirt on his buttocks and stood up slowly: "But... as adventurers, we will most likely accept the commissions that come to us."

"Then think of it as an entrustment from our principality to you." Pamir nodded with satisfaction: "As for the reward... you can mention it as you like."

"Just mention it casually?" Duan Qing shook his head: "Don't mention it casually, we adventurers are very greedy..."

"I believe in your noble character. After all, you are also my savior." Pamir replied with a smile: "So... the matters related to the parliamentarians can be regarded as the rewards we have advanced to your adventure group in advance, Your Excellency Baron.

"

"...Wha, what?"

"When you go to the Free City as an envoy, you should have a suitable name, right?"

Pamir showed a sly smile: "As a member of Parliament..."

"That should be enough."

***********************

"So you just accept it?"

Outside the side door of the parliament hall, a fat man with a bored look suddenly jumped up on tiptoes: "Are you going to the City of Freedom?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Yang, why are you so excited?" Duan Qing looked at the other party in confusion: "Is there something wrong?"

"Inappropriate, very inappropriate!"

The fat man shouted loudly, and then as if he remembered something, he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Do you know who proposed this idea? It was that old fox Fortes! Since he proposed you to Pamir, then

It’s definitely up to no good!”

"Fortes... proposed me?" Duan Qing's doubts became more serious: "Then, so what?"

"……not so good."

Looking at Duan Qing's expression, the fat man said angrily: "Those noble factions are not good birds anyway, and what they come out with is definitely not good! If you are really determined... you must be careful! There must be something in this

Is there some invisible conspiracy..."

"ok, ok, I got it."

Helplessly blocking the spittle sprayed by the fat man in front of his hand, Duan Qing calmly took two steps back: "Do you want anything else? If not, I will withdraw first..."

"Yes, of course!"

The fat man blocked Duan Qing's face with dazzling speed, and then looked at him with a serious expression: "I...I haven't officially expressed my gratitude to you yet."

"Ah?" Duan Qing's eyes widened.

"I want to thank you."

The fat body bowed in front of him with difficulty, and then straightened up with difficulty: "For Pamir, Dusk, and Sranko..."

"I want to thank you on their behalf."
