"That day in Tania, that guy Gustan told me a lot of things."
After resting briefly for a while, Duan Qing sat down with Xue Ling Huan Bing again, but this time the person enjoying the meal was replaced by a former part-time nanny who was extremely mentally weak: "According to his description... he has a powerful
People with magical powers can indeed break through the shackles of space under certain circumstances of chance, and then bathe in enough energy to enter a space similar to a different world. In the history of the free world, many people have claimed that they have seen
The scene of passing through that other world, and those who once stood on top of the world and were powerful enough to cross the shackles of space, were also recorded one by one by the Destiny Weaver."
"They call these people the children of destiny." He said in a low voice: "And I... seem to be classified into this category by them."
"What's in that alien space?"
"destiny."
As if remembering what someone said before he died, Duan Qing's eyes moved to the night sky outside the window: "Although I don't know what other people saw, what I saw were chains representing fate.
And those with enough strength... can also break through those chains and become their master."
"...You can actually go to a place like that?" The woman sitting on the other side was silent for a while, and a curious light gradually appeared in her eyes: "Really?"
"The process of the Battle of Tania...I should have explained it clearly to you before." Duan Qing's eyes shifted back: "At the last moment, I did cut off the fate of one of them, and he later changed his mind.
The memories of others gradually disappeared, and even Horsman, who was just before his death, finally showed signs of blurred memory..."
"Now it seems that that is a typical example." Duan Qing said in a low voice: "Although until now... I don't know the name of the last BOSS."
"...Did you also suffer such a big loss that time?" Xue Ling Huan Bing was silent for a while, and then suddenly changed the subject: "Is this one of the so-called conditions?"
"Well... I'm not sure yet."
Duan Qing smiled weakly, and then gently held up his tea cup: "Counting the previous Falling Star Mountain and the first Emerald Tower... every time a similar situation occurs, what I see is
The pictures I saw were all slightly different. I wasn't aware of this problem at the time, so I don't remember it very clearly. The only similarities that can be found are some details that appeared when I entered that world...
…”
"Including the one in the Emerald Forest?" Xueling Huanbing interrupted Duan Qing again: "The first trip we met?"
"Do you think it's impossible?" Duan Qing smiled weakly: "That was indeed our first meeting. I was only around level ten at the time. Now that I think about it..."
"That was not only the first encounter between you and me, but also the first encounter between me and the Ring of Destiny."
Colorful light, white mist, loud bells, black rings... These images were inexplicably recalled in my mind. Duan Qing's voice fell silent again, and then he breathed out a long breath under the gaze of Xueling Huanbing.
He took a breath: "Perhaps it was the last explosion that was painted with some strange symbols. Since that incident, people who look extremely mysterious have begun to gather around me. Gustan, Jin,
That woman in white, and later Gardevoir...if they hadn't known anything about the scene inside, I would have thought they were monitors sent by the system to watch over me."
"Just like my last encounter in that world." Duan Qing sighed sadly at this point: "If that dark robot hadn't swatted me out like a fly, I might have been saved more.
The next few unlucky guys..."
"According to your description..." Xueling Huanbing whispered: "What the mechanical humanoid said is very similar to the design of a certain system program we have played before."
"So I think many ruins in the free world are related to that thing." Duan Qing replied slowly: "The top of Falling Star Mountain, the underground ruins of Tania, and Tallond we just found before...
…Those ancient relics might have something to do with these ancient ruins left around the world.”
"You mean..." Xue Ling Huan Bing frowned slightly: "Those so-called destiny weavers are actually deeply related to Tadaya?"
"This is not necessarily true. After all, some of them are familiar with the history of the ancient Magic Empire." Duan Qing shook his head: "For such an ancient organization, they may be very familiar with all the secrets of this world.
Understand, considering what Oxen has done before and the power Convina has shown, some of them...may also know a lot of relevant information about that world."
"If they are not the original creators... that Oxon and the other masters of the Destiny Alliance, maybe they are just people who covet that world?"
"There is no use in hesitating here. It is better for us to ask directly."
After a simple exchange of glances, Duan Qing pressed his brow: "There is... a person I just rescued."
"She should be the most suitable choice."
Ignoring the woman's warnings and protests, Duan Qing forcibly cheered up and dragged himself back to the game cabin. Then, after leaving a safe reply to Mengzhu, he quickly returned to the free world and met him.
In the scene where the white light gathered again without any change compared to before, the game character belonging to Duan Qing also appeared normally on the land of the Free Continent. He looked at the countless other players standing around him, and then looked at the nearby players.
At the familiar city gate in front of him, he sighed helplessly: "...very good."
"Such a big wave... I guess all the players in the city have been beaten to death on the beach before."
boom!
A magical fire suddenly rose from the chaotic and noisy crowd, and then it was accompanied by the screams of several players and was heard in the distance on the outskirts of the city. Duan Qingbiantou, who was holding the hilt of his sword, took a look and saw only a few players who originally belonged to the city.
Players from the City of Freedom were already fighting with the players from the Wings of Freedom who also died outside the city. The shouts of shouting out to friends then sounded one after another near the city gate, with countless chaotic shouts of killing reaching more people.
In the temporary resurrection point that gradually became chaotic, Duan Qing was pushed around for a long time before he rushed out from the crowd of people in the sky: "What's the point of fighting here..."
"Don't you care about the current safety of the city?"
Dragging heavy steps, he dodged the stray bullet attacks around him again and again, and then with slow but firm steps, he walked into the gate of the City of Freedom again. The waves that still did not subside were mixed with countless people who were washed away.
House fragments continued to flow by his feet, and then became more and more as he progressed and the number of players decreased. Duan Qing, who recalled being sent to the sky by the tsunami before, slapped his whole body with lingering fear,
Finally, he returned to the streets of the inner city canal with only ruins left soaked in sea water: "A tsunami of this intensity can actually leave so many things..."
"The architecture of your Free City was pretty good back then."
He turned his head and looked at the black aura gradually spreading out from the street, and then recognized a familiar figure among the countless shadow packages seeping out from under the water: "Your Majesty the Shadow Mage?"
"I am not the founder of Liberty City, and all the designs here... have nothing to do with me."
As if floating above the waters of the water city, Gardevoir moved sideways and cast his gaze under the veil on Duan Qing. Then after floating for a period of time, he gradually flew in front of Duan Qing: "Been
The natural disaster destroyed it and it looks like this. I'm afraid it needs to be rebuilt, but even so... I probably won't get involved in something that requires aesthetics."
"The tsunami you caused is very powerful." She looked at the direction of the original city lord's palace, and then nodded slowly: "Those restorationists...maybe they will thank you for what you have done."
"……how did you find me?"
"Now you are shining like a lighthouse on the sea. I don't have to search hard...I can find your existence."
After briefly observing the surroundings, Gardevoir, who made sure there was no one around, then took off his black gauze, then looked at Duan Qing's face, blinking his eyes like a young girl: "The mental weakness is just
Your appearance in the eyes of others, in fact you... have a very weak connection with the world, and this vague state is like a newly born child in front of us weavers."
"Fresh, pure, and unpredictable."
She looked at Duan Qing's face, and as expected, received unexpected feedback from his expression: "Even among adventurers, I have never seen this situation happen. This can only mean that... you
That fate of rebirth has just been washed away by some kind of power."
"Well……"
With a strange expression on his face, Duan Qing quickly checked his system panel, and then raised his head hesitantly among the unchanged search results: "Really? But I didn't feel it.
No discomfort at all…”
"Don't worry, you are healthy now."
The wrinkled Gardevoir arched his eyebrows, and the smile originally hanging on the corner of his mouth became more and more prosperous: "Scars on the body are easy to repair, just like you adventurers have done it countless times.
, since you can still come to meet me at this time, you must have...been back to normal now, right?"
"In comparison, your mental scars are the most difficult to hide." Her smile gradually disappeared: "If you don't get a good rest... you may really die next time."
"Real...death?"
Duan Qing seemed to sense a non-NPC flavor in the other party's previous words, and Duan Qing asked cautiously: "What does that mean?"
"Nothing lasts forever."
Without directly answering Duan Qing's words, Gardevoir's eyes gradually fell on the distant horizon, and then after a period of searching, he stopped at a special location: "Even the life of an adventurer must be followed.
There are certain laws that exist. If you break these laws rashly, you will be hurt in the end. This kind of harm is difficult to detect at first, but it is enough to erase your proof of being in this world. This kind of damage is directly caused by the ring of destiny.
The verdict handed down... there is almost no way to avoid it."
"This kind of problem usually rarely arises, because not many people can break the shackles of fate." Her voice changed from serious to gentle again: "Being one of your choices when breaking fate...is my Shana's.
Honored, child of destiny."
"……ah?"
After standing there stunned for a long time, Duan Qing gradually digested all the words Gardevoir said before, then he grabbed the back of his head and laughed: "Well... I was just smooth, smooth, and at the beginning
At the time, I didn’t expect such an effect..."
"……Yeah?"
The smiling eyes gradually moved away from Duan Qing. Gardevoir once again focused his attention on the place he had noticed before. A faint black aura also rose from the sky in that place, little by little.
Approaching the location of the two people: "Your modesty will not bring you any benefits, adventurer, my black magic cabin has been destroyed, and I don't have any loot to give you now, but..."
"My gratitude remains."
She reached into her arms and slowly took out a bottle of potion. Then, enveloped by invisible energy, she walked towards the approaching black shadow: "I'll talk about the unnecessary words later. We need to deal with some troubles now."
, even if it is for the life that you have reconnected with me...it seems that I should do something now."
"Leave it to me next."
She raised her head, drank the potion in her hand, and then, surrounded by the rising black aura, sent Duan Qing behind her to the far side of Shuicheng: "Just let you see..."
"The true power of being an alchemist of the Council of Seven."
boom--
The roaring sound of the wind spread out in all directions with the explosion of huge energy, completely covering up Duan Qing's vision and hearing. He was blown away into the distance and struggled for a while, and then he stared at himself in the gradually clearer vision.
In the eyes of countless shadows extending outward like branches, Gardevoir, who had drunk some kind of potion before, stood quietly in place, but his wrinkled old face gradually changed as this energy spread.
Disappeared, replaced by a young and beautiful female face: "Long time no see... Kangweina."
"Since the goddess of fate has not taken back my thread, you probably...can't accept it either."
Countless black shadows stretched out like a sudden storm. The graceful smile of the beautiful woman who had regained her youth bloomed and flew out. Then, surrounded by intertwined silk threads, her position was separated from Duan Qing's figure.
Separated to two sides of the world.
