Duan Qing has seen all kinds of thanks in various areas of the free world, and they are often received at the same time as receiving rewards after completing tasks. Compared with the few words spoken by the NPC, those received
Rewards are often the content that attracts Duan Qing's attention more. According to Duan Qing's experience since entering the free world, the saying "you must be rewarded for your efforts" is still one of the golden rules that is effective around the world, but in Duan Qing's case
Qing's temperament has been tempered by years of experience. Even if he doesn't even say a word of thanks at the end of a task stage, he won't be furious because of it and jump up and down to find trouble with those who posted it.
But he never thought that the things he had done in the Free City would be rewarded in such a place and in such a form.
"Because of those things, I have forgotten my identity as one of the seven members of Gardevoir's Council."
Patting his forehead, Duan Qing sighed secretly, and then in the silence still lingering around him, he hurriedly stepped forward and made a gesture of support: "Don't be like this! You, you are... I can't
I can’t stand your etiquette.”
"Magicians are very rational people, and they tend not to be emotional." Kristine stood up again and slightly spread her arms towards the other figures behind her: "Don't worry, this is all the work of our Council of Mages.
The result of careful consideration by the members.”
"We think your behavior is worthy of us." Her smile was still as beautiful as a blooming flower: "The Council of Mages will always remember your kindness."
"..."
"Ah, I forgot that you are adventurers, but our supplies are urgent now, so we want to select rewards suitable for you..."
"No, no, that's not what I want to say!"
He hurriedly helped several magicians who were trying to bend down again, and the smile on Duan Qing's face became more and more unnatural: "We will talk about rewards later! Can you please stop the public execution first?
...Uh, how about we talk somewhere else?"
Looking away from the players who had begun to gather around her, Christine responded with a smile and a nod. The blue robe that floated up again due to her gorgeous turn once again attracted everyone's attention, heading toward the northeast.
Elegant lines were slowly drawn out in the direction of Fang. Duan Qing, with a dry smile on his face, struggled hard for a long time, and finally broke free from the surrounding eyes that seemed to be solid, and then followed him with steps as if running away.
Arriving in front of a temporary stone spire: "...this is?"
"This is our mage tower."
Signing to Duan Qing behind him, Christine, standing at the door, smiled and replied: "Although it is a bit crude, it is enough for us to handle the magic affairs around here..."
"Hehe, hehe..." Looking at the magnificent lights displayed behind the open door, the dry smile on Duan Qing's face became more obvious: "Then, that... you won't always
Do you want to live here?"
"They seem to be planning to do this, but I have already refused." Kristine's eyes glanced at the figures following them for a moment, and then she walked slowly towards the tower: "Now it seems...
It’s also nice to entertain some distinguished guests.”
"Choosing this place to build this mage tower... should be the first consideration of those architects." He winked at Mengzhu and others behind him, and Duan Qing, who was scratching his cheek, took the lead and followed him into this place.
Within the range of a mage tower: "You can not only keep an eye on Fenghua Town, but also keep an eye on the Andachel front in the east..."
"Please forgive me for being rude."
The ice blue staff paused slightly on the stone floor. Christine, who was leading the way, waved slightly, and then sat down slowly in the scene where the bright magic lights around her dimmed one after another.
Among the seats behind a certain round table: "But the battle you have always had with those guys who like to wear black... has never been one of the decisive factors in this war."
"We still have such self-awareness." After looking up for a while and observing the surrounding environment inside the tower, which was decorated with various magic lines and metal products, Duan Qing lowered his head again amid the admiration of Mengzhu and others behind him:
"I have only met one of the big guys from the Restoration so far, and that Teresa's strength is enough to destroy several of our adventure groups..."
"Theresa...I haven't heard this name for a long time."
A strange light flashed in her eyes, and Christine's voice became much deeper. The teacup and cakes that came from unknown sources appeared on the table near the rotunda with her sudden wave of robe sleeves.
On the small round table: "Please do as you like."
"……Thanks."
Duan Qing sighed slightly, pushed his hands, and then slowly walked to the side of the small round table with Mengzhu behind him shaking his head in the same manner: "You... know that Tai?"
Raisa?"
"Not only her, but I probably know many of the people who call themselves the Magic Council." Putting her finger on her white and smooth chin, Christine's mature and charming voice echoed in this small mage tower again.
Middle: "Most of them are people we have been pursuing in the past few years, and a few are guys who defected from our Council of Mages..."
"This Teresa...couldn't she be one of them?"
"In order to deal with these dangerous people, even Jin has come from the north."
Pointing to the southwest where they were, Christine replied noncommittally: "Except for Rex, who is currently unable to be contacted, most members of the Seven-person Council will arrive at this place one after another in the future.
The main person in charge has also contacted us, and the next battle will be based on us..."
"Until you arrived, the plan was arranged like this." After saying this, her eyes wandered slightly for a while, and finally focused on Duan Qing again: "The news you brought... should make these arrangements change.
many."
"...are you referring to the matter in Tingsi Forest?" Duan Qing asked doubtfully: "I'm curious...have you never discovered that place before?"
"Tingsi Forest was just a legend in the past. It has been surrounded by various ancient creatures. In addition, there have never been any big energy fluctuations in the forest, so we have always thought that it was a land more peaceful than the free era.
A legacy left over from ancient times." Christine's mature voice finally became deeper: "We didn't expect that there would be something like a furnace in that land, nor did we think that it would suddenly appear at this time.
It has been activated, but since there has been such a big commotion... I believe that the restorers will not just watch this opportunity slip away from their eyes."
"According to our previous speculation, they must be carrying out some kind of terrifying plan here." Her long aqua hair swayed slightly, and Christine's eyes became much more serious: "Now it seems
...Probably because of this thing that is very similar to Tania City."
"Things that are very similar to Tania City... This is indeed one of the criteria for judgment." Duan Qing replied thoughtfully: "But judging from what we have been doing all the way, their focus of battle is still leaning towards
The eastern mountainous area.”
"Jin has taken action at the foothills of Hulan Mountain several times." Kristine immediately shook her head: "And my lovely sister... She seems to be still fighting in that place now. Since they have all taken action, they must have taken action.
Many troublesome people have already appeared there. If the number of restorers continues to increase in the future, the phenomenon of transfer will definitely become more and more obvious..."
"Do we still have time?" Looking carefully at the figure of the woman with gorgeous makeup, Mengzhu, who was standing next to Duan Qing, suddenly said: "Those troops from the two countries who have joined forces should still be there now.
Fight on the eastern front, right? Isn’t it too much to move to the west now..."
"It's not impossible for them to stay here. After all, we, including those ordinary imperial soldiers... are considered low-level combatants here." Before Christine could answer, Duan Qing said in a deep voice:
"Since they can't influence the battle situation between the strong men, they might still be able to attract attention by staying here. If they are lucky, it is not impossible to drag out one or two monsters..."
"Hey, are you sure we can deal with them? Although there are one or two decent people sent by the principality and the empire, they are just a bunch of fools! Without the help of magic..."
"So you just look down on our melee profession? Be careful if Laura suddenly jumps out and knocks you on the head..."
"I called you here because I hope you can provide some opinions of your own."
Looking at the gradually rising noise and glaring expressions between the two people, the smile on Kristine's face, who was sitting directly opposite, once again spread a lot: "You are both excellent adventurers, your adventures
I have witnessed your experience and adventurous spirit many times, and if you take your views on this war into consideration, our battle plan will definitely become more perfect."
"Uh... is it about Fenghua Town's battle plan or...?"
"About this...I also wanted to ask you."
Kristine, who looked at Duan Qing, leaned forward slightly: "Tres also mentioned it before, you seem to be unusually persistent in Fenghua Town..."
"Did you find anything?"
"..."
Interested eyes rested on Duan Qing's silent face for a long time, and the smile on Christine's face became wider and wider: "If you also discover the secrets about Fenghua Town, please be sure to
Tell us, if the weight is sufficient, we may also take your goal into consideration in the change plan..."
"We didn't find any big secrets."
Sighing slightly, Duan Qing's deep voice slowly blended into the other person's voice: "It's just... we had reached the top of that mountain city during a previous operation to sneak into Fenghua Town."
"There is a library there, I wonder if you have heard of it." Duan Qing's thumb crossed his shoulder and pointed in a certain direction behind him: "When we tried to enter...a huge dark force will
We drove them out."
"...The restorationists are investigating that library?" Christine's eyebrows raised slightly as expected: "Why?"
"I don't know, because we were discovered immediately." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "The only thing we know is... that the library is where Ms. Luo Na lived before."
"Rona?" Christine raised her head in surprise: "You mean Lorna? She wasn't before..."
"……What's wrong?"
A moment of silence appeared as Christine suddenly closed her mouth, and her originally smiling eyes became stunned as she was extremely surprised. The gorgeously dressed woman staring blankly in front of her just stared at the person in front of her.
Several adventurers slowly put down their raised right hands after a long while: "...It's nothing, but in this way..."
"Our plans really need to change."
*********************************
"The plans need to change."
At the same time, in the rolling mountains of Little Andachel, a man in black holding a spherical object in his hand moved his eyes away from the back of a young swordsman who had just left.
Then the voice said slowly: "Ymir has been exposed."
"It seems that he still can't hold it back." A gorgeously dressed magician standing next to him sighed and replied: "I have expressed objections to the selection of that guy to be responsible for this operation before, but you guys
Or did he let him out on the pretext of being released... Why, who touched his heartstrings this time?"
"Of course they are the children from the Master Council. There are far more of them than we thought!" Near the entrance of a cave near the cliff, an old man on crutches said in a loud voice: "They
I must have noticed that place too! Our delaying tactics are about to go bankrupt!”
"But they certainly don't know what we already know."
Slowly walking out of a snow-covered shadow, a middle-aged man who looked extremely cold said in a low voice: "What Melius discovered in the library has exceeded our expectations, and has even touched this person."
The rules of the world, so even if this plan fails, 'those things' cannot fall into the hands of others."
"Ask them all to come in."
He looked at the still gloomy sky after the snow, and then put his hands on his back: "Wiggins, Mallock, and the sisters from the Empire - this battle is different from the battle of Tania..."
"Destiny will definitely be on our side."
