"Mornar?"
Some time later, in the black magic cabin, a shadow mage wearing a black veil looked at Duan Qing with the same surprised eyes: "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm very curious about this name." Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "Of course... Mr. Tielin is too."
"Have you gone to see Master Tielin?" The surprise in Gardevoir's eyes became more obvious: "Why did you go to see him?"
"Well... maybe he still has a lot of secrets, but it seems that Mr. Tielin doesn't intend to hide the secrets about pirates." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "If I could ask Mr. Tielin about those pirates earlier,
If we know the secret, the previous adventure might become easier, although even Mr. Tielin doesn’t know where the long-rumored Cape of the Sea is..."
"Have you found that place?" The woman in black robe turned around and asked.
"According to the tide tips you gave us, as well as some... little luck of our own." Duan Qing bowed slightly to express his gratitude: "Of course, the location that the pirate gave us before... seems to be the same.
There’s nothing wrong with that.”
"This may be the choice of fate."
Shadow Mage, who was silent for a while, shook his head, and the hands on his abdomen slowly fell down: "Many things happening in this world seem to have no special connection, but they seem to have their own trajectory, the tide.
The change may be just a small reason for this, or it may be due to the fate of everything you have controlled before. No one knows what the final result of them will be. Your appearance and actions may be just one of the threads.
One, appearing in front of me now...maybe it's just another form of fate."
"Your Mightiness……"
"I'm sorry for saying these useless words, we weavers are always so suspicious."
After letting out an inexplicable chuckle, Gardevoir once again looked at Duan Qing with thoughtful eyes: "So in order to follow my view of destiny, the matter about Molnar... this name should be a name from hundreds of years ago.
A very famous mysterious magician."
"A very famous... mysterious magician?"
"Some maverick characters often appear on the Free Continent, and the Molnar you mentioned is one of them." Gardevoir explained lightly in his unique deep voice: "His identity as a magician and his magical strength are
One of the best in the Free Continent, and some traces of him have been left in every corner of the Free Continent. However, among the relevant records that can be found, we can only find the name of a powerful magician like Molnar. Everything else is
It is a mystery. He has not appeared anywhere in the Free Continent for too long, and he has not left any biography or magic documents. Therefore, the study of this mysterious figure... is very difficult in every aspect.
It’s one thing.”
"Hmm... it does sound very consistent with the image of a 'famous mysterious magician'." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "So... does anyone know the time and place where he last appeared?"
"No." Gardevoir replied in a low voice: "How could such an ancient mysterious figure... possibly leave such accurate information?"
The clue seems to have been broken again - this is the first thought that comes to Duan Qing's mind, because he knows that the last few signatures left on the parchment may be the "pirate's treasure" that can be revealed to him
The last few pieces of valuable information. In the last conversation with Tielin, the bearded man with an iron hook on his hand also told him some other details, but in addition to confirming the content of the contract and the information about the pirates,
Apart from a few secrets about the family, he did not get any other valuable information. Of course, there must be factors that the throne owner considered for himself, but even if he could reveal so much to himself in this capacity
, was also something that made Duan Qing very lucky, so before leaving, Duan Qing also expressed his routine gratitude to him. However, Tielin, who seemed to have been weathered, responded like this: "You
This guy is quite good. If there is a chance... you should really join our camp."
"Join the camp? Ah, you are referring to the Throne War, right?" Duan Qing replied humbly: "I am just a small adventurer. Even if I really go to the scene, I can probably only fulfill the mission of a witness.
…”
"Yesterday... Huskar went to visit you, right?"
Tielin patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "That guy... what did he say to you?"
"Uh..." Duan Qing, who had realized something, smiled helplessly: "I have no interaction with them. It's just that he represents the forces of Freedom City and came to invite me to participate in the battle in a few days.
…”
"Representative? Humph."
With a deep snort of disdain, Tielin exuded a terrifying aura, then put his hands on his back, turned and walked towards the depths of the mansion: "No one here can represent the City of Freedom.
Not even the city lord, the battle between us... has always been just for ourselves, and only for ourselves."
"If those guys break their oaths, their fate will be even more miserable than now." His figure disappeared into the darkness: "Be careful of the coming tide, this tide..."
"It's going to be higher than ever."
"Oath, promise..." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "So what was written on that half-damaged parchment page?"
"There is no need for you to linger in this place. After all, according to him, the existing members of the throne holders... there are not many original members left." He answered Duan Qing's question calmly and sat down.
Gardevoir in front of the desk continued the work that was interrupted by Duan Qing's visit: "If you are interested, you can go to them to inquire, but apart from me and Tielin... I'm afraid there are not many people here.
I will answer this question well."
"Pamir asked me to ask for help, not to be an observer in the City of Freedom." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "But regarding the existence of the Restorationists... the reaction of you big guys is indeed a bit strange.
ah."
"Why, do you think the original contract is related to the Restoration?" Gardevoir replied without looking back: "Oxon's contact with other members of the throne is the same. In my opinion, there is no difference at all. As for
The content of the contract...God knows how many such things there are, which one is Tielin referring to?"
"Well...that makes sense."
Duan Qing nodded heavily: "Since hundreds of years have passed and the people have changed several times, it is probably not surprising that these guys have reached a new agreement with the Restorationists. Even if it is this
There is nothing fishy in the process, and it should be normal for any problems to arise among the Twelve Thrones, right? Maybe in the past few hundred years, there have been traitors loyal to the Restoration..."
"I know you are smug because you have discovered a big secret, but you'd better not place all your hopes on verifying the contents of some contract." Gardevoir's back slowly lengthened as he stood up: "God
It is true that I have given you such a path, but not all paths... are feasible in the end."
"I understand." Duan Qing nodded in the direction of the woman in black veil: "Also, thank you for the help you gave me today."
"No need to say more thanks, adventurer."
A black package that had just formed on the desk suddenly flew up from in front of Gardevoir and fell accurately into Duan Qing's arms: "Instead of saying those polite words... you might as well run two more errands for me."
"Well... we are adventurers." Duan Qing immediately laughed dryly: "If we are asked to do things, we have to..."
"Your accounts haven't been settled yet for the last commission."
Glancing at him sideways, the Shadow Mage replied unceremoniously: "Since fate has chosen you as the delivery boy..."
"This time's reward should be treated as settlement interest."
***************************
"What kind of fateful choice... I'm afraid this reason will be used by her for the rest of her life."
In the temporary residence of the Vixis Tavern, Duan Qing pushed in the door and said casually: "That woman is also an old woman at first glance, but she is so skilled at ordering other people..."
"What's wrong, young man?" Xu Yu Liushang, who was sitting in the corner, closed his eyes and picked up the tea cup in front of him: "What trouble did you encounter this time?"
"Ah, you are all back."
Looking at the smiling figure of Anyu Ninglan who was standing aside holding a tea tray, Duan Qing pressed his head and nodded: "It's nothing, I was just forced into a worthless task... What about you, have you done anything in the past two days?
What problems did you encounter?”
"I just wanted to ask you." Xu Yu Liushang slowly opened his eyes: "Devil Paradise suddenly formed a large-scale land reclamation group and went to the east coast to carry out activities... This matter has nothing to do with you.
Bar?"
"Uh..." Duan Qing slowly raised the hand holding the package: "Hahahaha, maybe... maybe you want to go sightseeing at the beach?"
"Really?" Xu Yu Liushang squinted his eyes: "But I heard your little apprentice say... you just came back from death over there?"
"Well... we went out on an adventure with a few friends yesterday." Duan Qing, who was in a hurry, hurriedly threw the blame on a certain trio: "It's really hard to refuse their invitation, they all come here
A new friend I only met in Freedom City..."
"...Forget it, you have made so many friends along the way, I don't care what you want to do."
Faintly handing the teacup in her hand back to Dark Language Ninglan, the blue-haired swordswoman looked at Duan Qing's face: "Anyway, that place is now completely occupied by the Devil's Paradise, right? Even if you have some evil ideas,
Now it is probably impossible to realize it... After hearing the news, the second best person in the world also gave up the land reclamation work on Warrior Island and sent several teams to the eastern coast to monitor the situation. If things go wrong... there might be a big war.
"
"The second best person in the world is also here?" Duan Qing sat on the seat on the other side of the table, and then took the teacup handed over by the maid: "It seems that there is really nothing we can do. Xue Ling Huan Bing can also go back...
…Uh, I mean, what happened to the things I entrusted to you before?"
"I visited Oxen again in the name of the adventure group, and the other party met me once." When it came to business, Xu Yuliu Shang also put away his joking thoughts: "If everything goes well, we might be able to reach some agreements with the other party.
Commercial cooperation, but...he didn’t mention a word about what happened to the Tallond ruins and the next mission.”
"Perhaps he has some new plans, but he doesn't want us to participate." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Maybe it has something to do with the battle for the throne in ten days..."
"I have also learned something about the content of this battle for the throne." Whispering Liushang replied in a low voice: "The war was started by the Talzinger family, the mortal enemies of the Rondoer family, and it was witnessed by the city lord himself.
The specific method of the duel between the two families has not yet been determined, but it will most likely be decided in a one-on-one manner. The winner will get the throne just vacated by the Rondoll family, and the loser... will exit the Free City.
I will no longer get involved in any power struggles in this city."
"It sounds very tragic." Duan Qing sighed: "Where are the others? What about the other vacant throne?"
"The Tristan family has not made a statement yet, and they will not automatically obtain the throne anyway." Xu Yu Liushang spread his hands: "If they want to return to the throne, they need to make enough contributions to the city and regain the throne.
The city lord's approval, or... become one of the challengers to the throne, and drive away all other competitors like Rondoer did."
"Their two families should still be in an alliance, right?" Duan Qing asked thoughtfully: "Remember that we sent representatives of the two families back here..."
"Why, do you also want to join this feast?" Xu Yu Liushang laughed softly: "You started to inquire about the relationship between the forces so soon?"
"There's no harm in asking more. Anyway, we will get in this water sooner or later."
Looking back at the scene in the tavern, Duan Qing sighed and replied, then while checking his luggage, he stood up with the black package: "I have an inexplicable premonition... Since Oxon has already planned to start the next
With one step of action, our journey may soon be marked by a symbol."
"Speaking of it... you haven't told me yet." Xu Yu Liushang also stood up: "This time... whose side are you on?"
"Me?" Duan Qing walked to the door and said without looking back: "Of course you are on our own side."
"You mean... the principality side?"
"How is it possible? We are players."
Duan Qing, who opened the door, tilted his head and smiled: "As a player..."
"Of course the bigger the game, the better."
