"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."
After a period of silence, a cough that sounded extremely embarrassed echoed in the sky above the arena: "You guy..."
"Okay, okay, it's almost done." Duan Qing's voice then sounded behind the dust that had not completely dispersed, and it sounded as if it was right next to the cough: "Your performance has been in line with the employer's wishes.
Even if you end up at this moment...the other party won't blame you, right?"
"Ahem...I, I don't accept it." Yun Meng whispered in the smoke: "You hit me in such a shameful way, you...how did you jump over just now?"
"Put down your staff, this is a basic operation." Duan Qing's voice then replied: "Of course, if you can use that giant rock to hit the speed of a rail gun, then there is really nothing I can do."
"……hateful."
The sand and dust blown up by the storm finally gradually dispersed, revealing the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Yunmeng standing and lying together. Among them, the magician lying on the ground with a big character pose did not seem to intend to do it again.
Standing up: "Did you use that small buckler on purpose before? Grandpa, I was actually fooled by you..."
"Although it's not as mysterious as you think, adaptability on the battlefield is very important." The dagger in his hand pointed at the opponent's chest, Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "You will only release magic according to the established plan.
You probably don’t understand how important this is, right? Just like the situation just now, you had the chance to stop me in the air, but in the end you didn’t react at all..."
"Then, that's my mercy!" The black-robed magician lying on the ground raised his head with his neck raised, and then grinned for a while because of the fist marks on his face: "Do you think this is all my strength?
?I’ll definitely give you something nice next time!”
"If you don't learn to integrate your own moves, it will be useless to give you a few more opportunities. Instead of continuing to conceive of your so-called large-scale magic, it is better to practice the timing of using wind blades and stone walls." Duan Qing said a few words
He laughed softly, and then squatted in front of Yunmeng: "So now... can we share each other's information calmly?"
"..."
"Hey, hey, don't be so petty, okay? I'll give you an epic staff later..."
"Hey, can a mere epic-level weapon impress me? Grandpa, I am..."
"Okay, stop."
As a certain stop sound sounded, the heavily armored Reiner flashed in front of Duan Qing and Duan Qing again, and then announced the result of the duel, interrupting the secret deal that was about to begin between the two: "The duel is over.
, the winner...Moshang Qingshan."
He glanced at Yuomeng's face, then turned and looked in the direction of Silver Fox: "Sir Phillips, what objections do you have?"
"……No."
The action of playing with the dagger did not stop at all, and Phillips still had an aristocratic smile on his face: "The game just now was exciting, wasn't it?"
"...So, do you still want to continue fighting?" Reiner was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask.
"No, no need." Phillips lowered his head slightly: "My subordinates fought well, and the attitude used to represent my Silver Fox is enough. The next dispute..."
"It's better to leave it to others."
The voices inside and outside the arena stirred up waves again as Silver Fox's words came out. It seemed that he did not expect that one of the owners of the Twelve Thrones would give up his face so easily. Only those who were also on the throne
The guy in position and a few rare players can understand each other's meaning: "In this case, let's re-select a suitable challenger... Mr. Eduin, is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
"...Hmph, your perfunctory will be the reason for failure." A high-pitched voice then sounded loudly: "If you let those adventurers go easily, you will be the one who gets bitten in the end!"
"That's not right. After all, we have already had members of two families here. Whether it's testing or traps... we've done enough."
"Then do you believe Tristan's lies and think he really wants to regain his throne? Just because he anticipated this situation and the few adventurers under his command?"
"……Hey."
Shaking his head and looking at the guys who were arguing again, Duan Qing, who returned to his seat, let out a disdainful sneer: "Why don't I like hearing what they say? What are just a few small adventures?"
By……"
"I know you are powerful, the great adventurer and special envoy." Whispering on the side gently hammered Duan Qing's shoulder, and then slapped him on the back: "Do you really want them to send a throne?
Would you like someone to be your opponent so that you can show off the elegance of the principality?"
"I have no interest in asking for trouble. Although according to the rules of the free world... we who have triggered such an important plot will probably encounter a lot of big troubles." Duan Qing replied helplessly: "The cards in our hands are
There are only so many, and we cannot withstand their turns, so to be on the safe side... we should focus on our original purpose."
"To put it lightly, have you found the traitor?" The blue-haired woman scanned the audience: "That Phillips doesn't look like..."
"Are there any other changes around the scene?" Duan Qing pondered for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "I noticed that many other players ran out..."
"Probably our previous battles aroused their vigilance." Xu Yu Liushang replied casually: "They didn't really come here to watch the excitement. They must have arranged a large number of people outside before. Since they have seen several wonderful games,
'Performance', they will definitely make corresponding adjustments, right? In comparison, we are the weakest force here. We have no subordinates to use, and we are pushed to the forefront..."
"At least we have information that they don't have, otherwise we wouldn't take the initiative to come to the gunpoint." Duan Qing shook his head and said: "As for my subordinates... has there been any news from Uncle Smile?"
"……have."
Seemingly remembering something important, Xu Yuliu pointed at the Lost Dream lying on the ground behind him. The latter nodded slightly, and then whispered with a hurt voice: "Uncle Smiling said...many people appeared outside the city.
Unidentified people have begun to attack the City of Freedom, and the station in Shilin has also been affected to a certain extent..."
"What?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "The restorer actually came in plain sight this time?"
"Everyone said they were unknown persons, so don't jump to conclusions so hastily, okay?" Xu Yu Liushang said angrily: "And...according to intelligence, someone has already taken the initiative and started fighting with them outside the city."
"...At this time, there are actually people who are still guarding outside the city?" Duan Qing asked in a quick voice: "Did someone already know that someone would attack the city, so they gave up the opportunity to participate in this throne war?"
"Time is so tight, how can we figure out so many things." After exchanging a look with Lost Dream again, Xuyu Liushang replied on behalf of the other party: "Some of them also wanted to occupy Friedham Stone Forest, but they were later
Uncle Smile worked together to drive them out. Since the players can defeat their opponents, it means that their strength is not very strong. As for the defenders who appeared here... I heard that they are not people from any major gangs, but a group of people.
It's just a group of bodyguards who suddenly appeared, led by the owners of major taverns."
"Tavern owner?" Duan Qing's eyes widened again: "What does this mean?"
"That's what it means literally." Xuyu Liushang spread his hands and replied: "According to what was said in Lost Dreams, someone recognized the identities of several of the leaders, and we also know some of them, such as the one from Rust's Tavern.
That guy who is neither male nor female..."
"Your Majesty the Special Envoy."
The voice belonging to Reiner once again interrupted Duan Qing's conversation, and at the same time drew their attention back from the battle outside the field: "The challenger here has been decided. Please take a look at it, your special envoy."
"...Well, shouldn't this kind of thing be decided by Lord Tristan?" Duan Qing answered with a smile as he looked at the middle-aged man not far away who had his hands behind his back as if it had nothing to do with him.
Said: "Ask me...isn't it inappropriate?"
"...It seems that you were too involved before and didn't notice other things." Reiner pointed in the direction where Duan Qing was looking: "Tristan has handed over the decision-making power to you, because you are the last one."
The winner of this duel is also the master of this adventure group."
"Yes, really? Hahahaha..." Duan Qing scratched his head, then tilted his head: "In that case...then who is the opponent this time?"
"It's Mr. Jialuo."
The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment with Reiner's voice, and then relaxed again with his voice: "Of course... Lord Jialuo himself seemed unwilling to go out to fight in person, so he selected a few trustworthy people.
subordinate."
He turned sideways, moving a little away from the center of the arena that was blocked by him, then pointed at the two players already standing in the arena, gestured to Duan Qing, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Duan Qing then took two steps forward, then rubbed his chin and put on a formulaic smile: "It's... everyone from Devil's Paradise, so you have also come to this place?"
"Huh, I don't believe it... you didn't notice our existence before." Mephisto, holding the scepter of judgment, replied in a low voice: "It's like we noticed you early."
"Oh, I'm sorry... I really didn't see you." Duan Qing made a gesture of looking around: "Maybe I should praise you for your ability to hide your head and tail. You did a good job of concealment."
"...No need to talk about these meaningless nonsense, we are here to settle accounts this time."
Swinging the scepter in his hand to the side, Mephisto let out a hoarse laugh: "Defeating you on such a formal occasion... There is nothing more exciting than this way of revenge, haha
hehe……"
"Isn't it just that I ruined a good thing for you? You don't need to be so vindictive, right?" Duan Qing put on an innocent posture: "There was nothing in that conference room... Why don't you believe it?"
"It doesn't matter, when the tide recedes... we will naturally verify this fact." Mephisto replied with a low smile: "It will be the same for this event..."
"No matter what your intentions are, we have to ask you to leave now."
He pointed at Duan Qing's nose: "Your status as a special envoy and the rumors about your life experience... will become our stepping stones."
"...Just you? And this guy?"
Looking at the black-robed mage who was inadvertently hunched over and the assassin standing next to him, Duan Qing showed a disdainful smile: "I have learned your skills before. With all due respect...even if I let you
If we face Stark together, we probably won’t last longer than our lost dream, right?”
"Our combination may not be able to deal with the leader, but it is more than enough to deal with adventurers like you." Baili Duyou next to Mephisto replied disdainfully: "Of course, if you forget that you were in the water before,
If you want to learn the lessons you learned... we can help you think about it for free now."
"Wait a minute, this is a duel arena. You don't want to join us, right?"
After receiving a positive response from Reiner behind him, Duan Qing squeezed his throat and screamed: "This is not fair!"
"Ha, it was your Tristan who said... any duel rules are acceptable." Mephisto laughed: "So even if five of us come together, you can't object.
Bar."
"Then, we also ask to come together!" Duan Qing protested in the direction of the city lord: "At least the number of people should be equal!"
"What a beautiful thought! This is the grave you dug for yourself, and now you want to regret it?"
"I'm doing this for everyone's benefit. It's better for two to fight two than to fight one, right? And we only have so many people here. If two people are defeated together... won't it save you more time?
?"
"Shut up, don't try to trick the Lord of the City!"
"It's you who should shut up, lackey!"
"What did you say! How dare you..."
"This is a negotiation between me and the city lord. Why is one of your subordinates yelling randomly next to you?"
"..."
As if they did not expect that Duan Qing would really use such a tone to lecture the vice-president of Devil Paradise, and they seemed to be really worried about the other party's identity, the two players from Devil Paradise temporarily became silent and turned everyone's attention.
His gaze returned to the city lord above who had been silent for a long time: "...Jia Luo."
"I have no opinion."
Facing that superior look, the dark shadow in the corner then leaned forward and replied: "They are all forced into the duel anyway. Whatever they want to do... let them do it."
"In that case..."
So the city lord turned his head again: "Who do you want to play with, Mr. Special Envoy?"
"Well……"
His eyes turned around in the direction of Xu Yuliu, but Duan Qing finally chose to ignore those charming eyes and landed on Xue Ling Huan Bing's head on the other side: "...What do you think?"
"...I wish for it."
The woman who put on the black cloak again hid her face under the hood, and then answered with a cold voice.
