The fierce battle that gradually spread proved Duan Qing's prediction. At the same time, the figure named Laura Roland, who was constantly entangled in a huge storm, was reflected in the sight of other players. The figure was incompatible with her petite figure.
The iconic image also flashed back and forth as the number of arriving players increased, dodging lightning attacks from inside the storm with surprising speed. As Duan Qing and Gardevoir approached, several powerful auras belonging to different forces appeared.
They also vaguely appeared around the place where the emerald green storm was. Different from the players' attitude of fighting at first sight, these auras looked at each other, tested, and finally, after a period of confrontation, along the original path.
The directions from which they came have retreated.
As if it had been a long time coming, the light of dawn and the pattering of freezing rain then descended on the incomplete land of this coastal city, and this battle that lasted for a day and a night finally ushered in its own battle as each retreated.
The end of.
"They retreated."
Looking at the golden light that suddenly flashed to the horizon in the storm, Gardevoir, who had been protecting Duan Qing, whispered, but the graceful body floating in the air gradually descended and slowly landed on the ground: "It seems that the plan has been confirmed
failed, so we gave up this attack..."
"Do you know that person?"
Looking at the figure disappearing like a meteor, Duan Qing asked in surprise: "That great magician of the wind element?"
"Don't forget, I was once one of Oxen's men."
Showing a smile to Duan Qingzhan, Gardevoir walked towards the depths of the streets where calm had returned: "After being exposed for so long, I have seen all the respectable guys among the Restorationists, even if they have no friendship with each other.
I've done it before, but I know all their relevant information... very well."
"Compared to the administrator of the library, I think it is more appropriate to call you a mobile library."
Duan Qing curled his lips involuntarily, then put away his careless eyes: "And..."
"You seem to still have a clear memory about the name Oxon?"
"...Of course I will remember him."
Gardevoir also put away her smile, and lowered her head. The long black hair that had been floating beside her slowly fell to her side with a certain depression: "As a fate, I appeared
A man in destiny, he will always remain in my memory. Nothing can change this, not even his final tragic end..."
"It's a pity that these issues should not be within the scope of my consideration." She smiled sadly, and the energy fluctuations around her also dropped to the lowest point: "According to the original fate track... At this time, I have already
died."
It sounds like there is a lot of resentment...
Wisely, Duan Qing did not continue to ask further. Duan Qing smiled cautiously and said: "Well, um... being alive is a good thing after all. Don't dwell on the past anymore. Now that you have crossed this threshold, I think it is better to be more positive.
a little……"
"Then take your responsibility, right?"
Duan Qing, who was interrupted, raised his head, and what came into view was Gardevoir's eyes shining with inexplicable brilliance: "I know what you are worried about, but I will still do what I have to do, including O.
The aftermath of Kesen's death at the hands of fate, and...things about the Ring of Destiny."
"But this topic... is obviously not suitable to talk about at this time."
She looked at Kangwena who was bound in the air next to her, and her smile gradually faded: "More and more adventurers have gathered here..."
"Let's end this first."
She turned her head and started walking again. Then, with her bare feet constantly wading through the water, she walked to the place where the emerald green storm was. Many players ran nearby to act as onlookers.
They also followed Duan Qing in front or behind. The people who were lurking nearby gradually retreated with their arrival. Duan Qing, who relaxed, looked around for a while, and finally found himself in the dilapidated street corner.
I discovered the familiar figure of a certain girl: "...Your Excellency Roland."
"Just call her Lola."
A pair of unique combat boots under her feet were shining brightly. Laura threw her chestnut hair behind her, and then exposed herself to Duan Qing amidst the heavy stomping sound of the giant hammer that was also thrown behind her.
He put on an attractive sunny smile: "Finally, we have beaten all these people away! They are all so troublesome... ugh."
She stretched out her waist, then blinked at the woman next to Duan Qing: "Are you... Shana?"
"You actually still remember me, the little girl from the Roland family."
Gardevoir nodded slightly, and then pointed to Duan Qing beside him: "Now that I have seen you, can I leave him to you temporarily?"
"Uh..." The wheat-skinned girl scratched her cheek and seemed a little embarrassed: "He is not Laura's person, why would he leave him to Laura..."
"I need to get this guy settled."
Lifting the old man who was bound by the shadow, Gardevoir replied in a calm voice: "Although I feel the aura of those colleagues, in this case... no one must have extra strength. With freedom,
Judging from the current situation in the city, it would be better for me to handle this matter myself."
"...Laura is too lazy to care about your affairs in the Free City." The girl's eyes wandered around the old man for a long time, and finally she let go of her reluctant eyes: "Seeing how you are now
For the sake of misery..."
"Laura, let me help you temporarily."
She nodded, dragged the giant hammer to Duan Qing's side, and then waved to Gardevoir with the latter's incomprehensible expression. The shadow mage covered in black robes then rose again, taking the captives with him.
Kangwena flew towards the center of the city, leaving only the curious eyes of the surrounding players, and Duan Qing's questioning eyes: "...What does this mean? Isn't it over already?"
"Your current state is very unstable."
Laura, who answered him, curled her lips and replied, but her eyes slowly turned behind him. Then, amid the exclamations from some players in the direction of the dock, she waved at a figure in heavy armor.
He waved: "According to family records, you should be in the 'Asbis' state now. Not only will you attract some strange creatures from different dimensions, but you may also suddenly disappear at any time..."
"……ah?"
"But don't worry, Laura will be responsible for your safety!"
It seemed that she was not surprised at all by the resurrection of the silver and black knight. The girl watched the other party leave silently, then picked up the huge hammer and showed an extremely confident smile to Duan Qing: "Although it is not as professional as Shana,
But Laura also has her own way! No matter how many dimensional beasts escape, Laura will knock them all away!"
"...Dimensional beast? What is that thing?"
"Oh, where did all these problems come from? Now just follow Laura!"
Turning her nose up at Duan Qing, Laura gave him an impatient look. The huge hammer also drew a semicircular trajectory in the air, blowing up a moderate gust of wind: "
Breaking the wall of Laura’s house and destroying the girl’s sleep... If Laura becomes ugly because of this, I will put you on the blacklist of Laura Chamber of Commerce from now on! Blacklist--list--!"
"Um..." Facing the naive expression of the other party's long voice, Duan Qing suppressed his laughter: "Where should we go next?"
"Of course we're going to Laura's blacksmith shop."
The girl who was slightly petite compared to the hammer looked around for a while, and then jumped towards the corner of the street. Huge splashes and vibrations continued to arouse with her footsteps, extending towards the dilapidated street.
Somewhere in the corner: "Well, where is Laura's treasure bag? That is Laura's life savings..."
"Ah! Here!"
Amidst the beads of sweat gradually dripping from Duan Qing's head, the girl carrying the hammer turned halfway through the alley, and then after a shout of surprise, she ran towards the depths of the shadow there, making a few faint noises.
Low shouts then appeared in other directions on the street. They were the exclamations of a few players who had the courage to run over when they saw this scene. Some of them seemed to have passed the many equipment contained in the huge package.
, recognized this girl who had appeared in the UEFA Cup match: "Is it that Laura?"
"I've heard of her, Laura of the Roland family..."
"Why is she here? Isn't she the head of the family in the empire? And she's also the most powerful one..."
"And you're still with this guy...ahhhhh!"
boom--
A huge shaking sound then appeared next to Duan Qing. It was the sound made when the huge package belonging to Laura hit the middle of the street. The heavy package not only made a big hole in the middle of the waves, but also almost hit the person next to it.
Duan Qing flew out: "Hey! You are so annoying!"
"Bah, bah, bah..." Looking at the idle players fleeing in all directions, Duan Qing, who barely managed to stabilize his body, wiped the sea water on his face: "Um, can you pay attention to my presence..."
"You are not so delicate. At least you are much stronger than them."
After glancing at the frightened figures around her with satisfaction, Laura returned to Duan Qing's side, then as if she suddenly noticed something, she raised one of her feet: "Ah... I forgot."
Dots of fluorescent light gradually gathered on her feet and those unique-looking combat boots, and then disappeared in front of Duan Qing in the light that dispersed again. The girl who opened her eyes again then turned into
She was in a barefoot state, and her already energetic figure also had a unique sense of charm. However, at this time, she did not notice the eyes she attracted, but looked at her package with satisfaction.
Internal: "Well, now everything is in order."
"let's go."
Carrying the huge package again, the girl announced loudly, and then with Duan Qing's difficult agreement behind her, she walked towards the distance of the ruined city. Occasionally, the injured who fell on the roadside kept appearing.
Next to the two people, there were many civilians who were crying for their houses that had become ruins. The girl with a sunny smile on her face seemed not to pay attention to what these people meant, but looked towards the maintenance of her own self.
Moving forward in the direction of the Xixis Tavern: "Lola is just a traveling businessman, not a gorilla or a philanthropist. If there are any strange people who think that Laura will give charity, Laura will not be polite to them...
…”
"...Yes, yes, I understand."
"Don't scream, only that guy Reiner would call himself that. If she hadn't known about that guy's origin, Laura might have thought of him as some weirdo from the East."
"Then, what should I call myself?"
"For example, Xiaomo, Xiaoshan, Xiao Qingqing, etc... What do you mean by your expression? Are these names ugly? So you adventurers, it's okay to have such awkward names, why don't you let them go?
People are doing well...ahhhhhh-"
A huge scream then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, and the harsh sound almost screamed out his soul. But the girl who screamed this time ran towards their original destination the next moment.
Passed by: "Lola's blacksmith shop——!"
"Well……"
Looking at the house that had been flooded into disarray by the tide, and the girl throwing herself on the ruins, Duan Qing scratched his head helplessly: "Isn't this a result that should be foreseen?"
"Lola made a lot of determination and spent a lot of money to buy this place!" The girl who ignored Duan Qing still lay there crying: "Lola's gold coins, Laura's gold coins -
"
Who was just despising those unfortunate ghosts who lost their houses...
With countless galloping alpacas running through his heart, Duan Qing sighed deeply, and then walked to the girl's side before other passing players came to watch again: "Well... don't be sad, you can earn more gold coins if you don't have them.
, even if the house is gone, you can buy it again.”
"Lola's gold coins——"
"Hey, hey, stop crying."
Duan Qing, who had a black line on his face, crouched down and looked helplessly at the girl who had been killing everyone before and remained unfazed in the face of all the masters: "At worst, we can build it again, we can help you build it together.
Already."
"woo woo woo woo……"
"Anyway, the whole city has become like this, and the reconstruction work must be carried out." Listening to the other party's crying that still did not subside, Duan Qing had to cheer up: "We will come up with ideas together then.
, I guarantee that your house will be built exactly like the original one... No, this is a rare opportunity, how about we build a better house?"
"...More, better?"
"If you have any requests, feel free to ask. We adventurers still have a lot of experience in this area."
Looking at the other party's bright, tearful eyes, Duan Qing raised the corner of his mouth and replied: "We can make the materials ourselves, and we don't need money for manpower. As long as it's not too exaggerated, we guarantee that we can fulfill your request."
Your blacksmith shop is beautifully built..."
"good!"
The girl who was laughing through tears jumped to her feet, and then let out a shout of satisfaction. Her body with chestnut hair turned around excitedly in the air a few times, and then she grabbed Duan Qing's shoulders: "Then Laura...
…”
"I'll leave it to you!"
