"Tell me...how did you become so miserable?"
"As you can see, it was the guy who just hit me from the tavern. This hole, plus the one in front... you should go find that guy named Lotto to compensate you."
"Laura doesn't know that sneaky guy. He has been hanging around Laura's shop a few days ago... How did you follow this kind of adventurer who can tell at a glance that he is not a good person?
Are they related?"
"How do I know? I was also suddenly found. Although I now know exactly what these guys want to do now... Wow, ah, ah, ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts -"
In the middle of the bungalow illuminated only by the lights of the street and the sparkle of magic, Duan Qing's screams sounded one after another again, but this time the source of pain was not the torture of the girl Laura, but the constant pain from her hands.
Squeezing Duan Qing's body: "Well... your injury is not serious? Why are you still screaming so miserably?"
"I, I have been... fighting for a long time today..." Duan Qing gritted his teeth and curled up on the ground in pain: "How can you... fight so fiercely outside... and still... be able to... sleep..."
"That's...that's Laura's good spirit!" The girl's wheat-colored skin turned slightly red, and then her expression suddenly changed: "Spiritual? Speaking of which..."
She stopped touching Duan Qing and stared at his face for a while: "So that's it...your soul seems to have been greatly damaged."
"Well……"
Duan Qing's mental state was indeed greatly depleted due to his previous insistence before his death in the Black Magic Cottage, but even though he was well aware of the reason why he was unable to use his Intention Sword, he still could not put this aside.
The reason was told to Laura in front of her: "This, that, maybe it's because I didn't sleep the day before, hahahaha... By the way, how did you get to this place?"
"Laura?" The wheat-colored girl pointed to her face, and then said helplessly: "Of course it was that cute student who dragged Laura to this place. At first, Laura just wanted to stay in Tania.
, I don’t want to come to such a remote place as Liberty City…”
"A remote place? Isn't this the famous port and commercial center of the Free Continent..."
Duan Qing smiled bitterly and whispered, then hurriedly changed his words under the other party's expression: "Ah, no, no, the security here is indeed not very good. You can see that there are still beatings outside. It's really inappropriate...
…Hey, wait, you still have students?”
"Why can't Laura have students?"
The girl curled her lips and replied, and at the same time, she sat down opposite Duan Qing with her body covered in heavy armor: "Anyway, as long as Laura can pass on the things of the Roland family, the people in the family will not have anything to say.
There is a reason to prevaricate, and they will not comment on Laura’s other ideas... Ah, no, no, these are Laura’s secrets! Laura didn’t say anything just now, you must forget it!
"
"Ah..." Looking at the other person's smiling eyebrows, Duan Qing nodded expressionlessly: "I'm just very curious about your student, and I haven't heard anything else."
"What a clever risk taker."
Patting Duan Qing's body with satisfaction, the girl once again patted the seriously injured person in front of her into a shrimp: "As for that ineffective student... He is indeed an adventurer. In order to let Laura be his teacher, that guy
It took a lot of effort. I finally helped Laura collect a lot of materials and found a suitable place. But when I arrived at Tania, which I dreamed of, he suddenly asked to leave..."
"leave?"
"Yes." Laura pressed her hand against the gloomy night sky outside the hole: "Although I don't know where I got the news, that guy suddenly asked to go to the Free City. It is said that his former teammates were in danger.
He wants to go over and help..."
"Hmm...are you still a caring and righteous student?" Duan Qing squinted at the girl in front of him: "In the end, you still followed me?"
"Laura didn't complain about him. Laura is quite satisfied with the current situation."
The girl under the heavy armor showed an extremely bright smile: "It is common for Laura to travel and so on. Being able to travel to the far east of the Free Continent is also one of Laura's wishes. Is there that
With the company of this guy, Laura was not very lonely along the way, and she also encountered many strange things and a lot of thrilling adventures! Like Hulantings, the Ancient Court, Lange Forest, Tallond
Relics..."
"etc!"
As if he heard a harsh word, Duan Qing hurriedly raised his arm: "What did you just say? What relics?"
"The ruins of Tallond...ah, that's right." Laura suddenly clapped her hands: "You were also in that place that day, right?"
"Sure enough...did you also see the black beam of light that day?"
"More than just seeing it, Laura also went to the scene to take a look." Waved her hand towards the other party, Laura showed a proud smile: "Although the restorers there don't welcome Laura very much, but so what
Like? When they framed our empire soldiers in Tania, they didn’t get Laura’s consent.”
"Uh...ah hahaha."
As if he realized that this topic was too embarrassing, Duan Qing turned his head hastily: "Um... what did you discover that day? Did you meet the leader of the restorationists?"
"When Laura arrived that day, there was nothing left in the ruins. It seems that due to the previous explosion, the center of the ruins became a ruin." The girl tilted her head and showed a recalling expression: "
As for the leader...is his name Oakes or something? He seemed to know Laura, so he left without much fighting..."
"That guy..."
"……What's wrong?"
"That guy is probably the mastermind behind this incident."
Looking at the confusion on Laura's face, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, and then simply told the BOSS-level figure in front of him the few words he heard from Gardevoir before: "...So
That guy probably has some purpose, he wants to activate a huge ritual hidden in the City of Freedom. The other throne holders and the city lord himself are the key keys he wants to obtain for this purpose..."
"What, that's what it was all about?"
To Duan Qing's expectation, the girl with wheat-colored skin slapped herself and stood up: "Is it because of that thing that those remnants of the Magic Empire made such a big fuss?"
"You...do you know?" Duan Qing asked in surprise.
"Laura has heard of that thing." The girl who returned to her bedroom said her proud voice to Duan Qing's ears: "That one is called the Star of Morna... If Laura knows the secret
If you're right, it's not an easy device to activate."
"You, what do you know?" Duan Qing, who was half lying on the ground, quickly stood up: "What is the purpose of the Restoration? Can Gardevoir be saved?"
"Gardevoir..."
I don't know what she thought of, but Laura's voice was silent for a while: "Speaking of which...if that's what the restorationists want to get, they seem to have lost a lot in this transaction. Do they have other purposes?
Or maybe it was done by those magicians..."
"...Can you say something I can understand?"
"What's the use of understanding it? You'd better have a good rest now!"
With the sound of heavy footsteps, the image of a traveling businessman carrying a huge package belonging to the girl Laura once again appeared in front of Duan Qing: "Since I can't sleep anymore, Laura should go and take a look in person.
Anyway, you and your team of adventurers only have so much strength, so you might as well just find a safe place to hide..."
"Wait, wait a minute..."
"Ah, right."
Walking to the hole next to the door, the girl who raised her head suddenly turned her head: "Remember to take good care of Laura's students. He must be wandering around somewhere in the city now. If he accidentally died,
Damn it, Laura might be sad for several days..."
"So what is the Star of Morna..."
call--
A huge sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded in front of the house, and the chaotic and strong airflow made Duan Qing involuntarily cover his eyes. When he let go of the arm blocking his eyes again, the image of the girl belonging to Laura had already
It completely disappeared from the front of the hole: "...Oh, I managed to catch a thigh, but..."
"I asked why there is movement here...why are you lying here?"
The screams of several figures falling into the canal then came from the direction of the street, and echoed around the room along with the voice of a woman approaching this direction. Duan Qing, who was sighing, immediately turned around and looked at the light.
The hole that was blocked again: "...It's you, why are you back?"
"I met a magician in black, but I didn't fight him, so I came back."
Rubbing his long blue hair that was a little scattered and still sticking up in some places, he murmured and slowly walked to Duan Qing's side. The smile he was originally looking at Duan Qing gradually disappeared as he got closer.
Li: "...What's going on? Your injury..."
She looked up and down Duan Qing's face, and her voice softened: "Your condition... seems to be very bad."
"I know, but now is not the time to worry about that."
Showing a comforting smile to Xu Yuliu's mouth, Duan Qing gasped and sat upright: "Has your place fallen? How is Ninglan?"
"I don't know. Ninglan and I split up when we arrived in the north of the city." Xu Yu Liushang absentmindedly arranged her long hair: "I went to the address of Eduin you gave, and it was indeed surrounded by people. Originally
I don’t know where I went in the Borderlands where I was supposed to be guarding... Later, I temporarily gathered a few idle players nearby and forced my way into the tavern, but the leader inside was very powerful, let alone
It's those savages, even I couldn't last long under his lightning magic..."
"Lightning magic? It sounds familiar..." Duan Qing said thoughtfully: "Since that guy is there, there is probably no chance for Eduin..."
"Ninglan went to Tielin's territory and hasn't come back yet." Xuyu Liushang said with a wry smile: "Although I don't want to admit it, but... I haven't come back now, which is actually good news."
"Xue Ling Huan Bing hasn't come back either, but Lu Bench...according to the guy who attacked me just now, I'm afraid the keys here have been lost." Duan Qing said in a heavy voice: "Although there are ten keys to the throne in total.
Two, but we don’t have many options left. Apart from Garo, who still doesn’t know his position, the rest are Reiner, Fenya, Stark, and old Joel..."
"Stark is said to be the chief of a certain tribe. He has many outstanding warriors under his command, and Old Joel has the second best help in the world, so there shouldn't be any problems." Whisper Liushang reached out and pressed the button, but it was still there.
Long hair flying everywhere: "On the contrary, it's the stronger ones... With Fenya's usual temperament, no player can really get close to her, and Reiner's situation is even more special. We don't even know where he lives.
They don't even know that Tielin has a lot of thugs under him, but now the wealthy area in the east of the city seems to have been flooded by pirates, so the current strongest kings have become the most dangerous ones.
family……"
"The Tristan family has almost no defense now. If their home is raided... we have nothing to do." Duan Qing also analyzed: "I hope he has listened to my dissuasion before and arranged his family in advance.
, As for the keys and secrets that belong to him, we have nothing to do now. Among the remaining candidates, only Haskar and Rondoer have not been selected. If we use the elimination method..."
"This tavern behind us is Huskar's territory?"
"Speaking of which, when we first came to this city, we had a conflict with Huskar here..."
"Then only the Rondoll family is left. Unfortunately, there is not enough time. We have no chance to investigate the hidden location of their family..."
"It's probably a tavern, just like this Vixis in front of us... We just need to stop one of their targets and interrupt the ceremony, right? Why do we need to go find so many throne holders?
Where are the keys and the magic circle? Just hold on to the tavern in front of you..."
boom--
A deafening sound suddenly appeared in the sky above the tavern not far away. It was the sound made when a giant light pillar suddenly rushed into the sky. The street players who seemed to be intimidated by the light pillar also stopped what they were doing.
He stared blankly at the place where this strange scene occurred. The roof of the tavern was blown into pieces by the sudden burst of energy, and scattered around the street. Some of the pieces even flew away.
After passing a long distance, he landed in front of Duan Qing and Xu Yuliuzhang: "This is..."
"I told you not to plant flags randomly."
Amid the terrifying howling sound, Duan Qing smiled bitterly and looked at the blue-haired woman next to him.
"...We don't have to keep it anymore, right?"
