"what is that?"
"...It should be a furnace."
"A melting pot? What is that thing...wait, I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
"Of course you should have heard it, but it shouldn't be the one you know."
Replying to these words in a low voice, Duan Qing finally moved his eyes away from the beam of light that was emerging in the distance, and then with a quickly calmed down mind, he looked around: "The problem now is that this
Is it the one I know? Although this is still Hulan Mountain, if the spatial conditions are true, the entire mountain will become an empty mountain..."
"It sounds like it's very serious." Babaojun on the side hurriedly poked Duan Qing in the side: "Explain quickly, is there anything you need our help with?"
"I know you are all curious, but not yet." Duan Qing, who still did not stop observing, replied in a low voice: "First we have to find the way to the past, and we must ensure our own safety..."
"If there is something like the giant dragon lurking around here... then our situation is indeed very bad." Legend of Flames gradually stopped looking at the light pillar: "In addition,
The miasma here... our medicine has almost been used up."
"It's okay if only monsters appear. After all, we can still handle it." As a sigh appeared, Duan Qing's eyes finally stopped somewhere in front of the dark abyss: "I'm afraid..."
"There will be someone we are looking for coming out of this place."
Following the direction where his eyes were pointing, the two people, Ba Baojun and Lieyan Legend, who were following behind, also looked at the top of the abyss in front of them. A figure that was as dark as the surroundings was now emerging over the vast cave in front of them.
, echoing with the background light beam reflected next to it, the two alert warriors with large shields hurriedly raised their swords and shields, and set up a defense line of shields along the edge of the abyss revealed in front of the crack.
Duan Qing, who was caught in the middle, was not prepared to challenge at all, but cast his inquiring eyes on the figure: "You are..."
"I am Hayward."
The figure that Duan Qing was watching bowed slowly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face that gradually emerged in the darkness: "We should...have already met."
"That's right, in the previous Tower of Tyran." Duan Qing, who looked up at the other party, also laughed: "Although we are on a different battlefield, I didn't expect you to still remember me."
"You are the famous Son of Destiny." The middle-aged man who called himself Hayward slowly landed on the space parallel to Duan Qing and the three of them. The dark robe hanging in the air was still slowly swaying: "My body
As the deputy speaker of the Magic Council, every move you make...is under the attention of me and my colleagues."
"The deputy speaker is too complimentary."
Duan Qing shook his head slightly, and still showed no hostility, Duan Qing slowly put his hands on his back: "Compared to you who have already occupied the tower, I, a little adventurer, are still far behind.
"
"It's just some small strategies, nothing big." Hayward, who was also looking at Duan Qing, smiled and replied: "Although it is a suggestion from some adventurers who belong to us, but... Haha, if it is really given
You have caused some trouble, and that is our fault."
"The Council of Mages didn't put too much trouble on me. It should have been concerned about your existence and their situation." Duan Qing immediately shook his head: "Or... they have no idea of taking back the tower now?
"
"Malock is still lurking in the upper floors of that tower."
Speaking this information without hesitation, Hayward slightly spread out his hands under the black robe: "The war between us and the Council of Mages is still going on, but the initiative is now in our hands.
, before the tower is fully controlled... the Magic Empire will probably not make any more radical moves."
"..."
"What, you don't believe it?"
Looking at Duan Qing's temporarily silent reaction, Hayward once again showed the gentle smile unique to middle-aged men: "Would you like to be a guest in our new home?"
"...No need." Duan Qing shook his head: "What if there is no way in but no way out...wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
"If you decide to officially join our Magic Empire, I will be the first to approve it with both hands." Hayward raised his hands in a gesture: "If the troubled secular world cannot make you happy...the gate of the Magic Empire,
It will always be open to you."
"Hehehehe." Duan Qing, who didn't know how to answer, could only touch his nose and chuckle a few times, then turned his head and pointed to the void above their heads: "That dungeon-like tower... is really that big.
Attractiveness?"
"...That is the legacy left by the Magic Empire, the crystallization of magic left by the great magisters a thousand years ago."
Seemingly mentioning something unpleasant, the smile on Hayward's face gradually disappeared: "Those so-called seven-person parliament don't know how to use it at all, they are even squandering the precious wealth in their hands! Only
Only when these things are in our hands will their meaning and value truly come into play. This is true of the Tower of Tyran, and so is the magic ruins in other places in the world, just like..."
As if he suddenly realized something that was about to be said but should not be said, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped dancing in the air. He looked at Duan Qing and the other two players with different expressions in front of him, and sighed.
He made his own expression: "Ahem... It's like we passed through the anomaly here and discovered your existence."
"...You discovered our existence?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Did you teleport here temporarily?"
"The Council of Mages does not understand these technologies, nor does it understand the true use of the Tower of Tyran."
He waved his arms again, and strange purple-black flames began to appear around Hayward, who was floating in the air: "For example... like this."
A harsh buzzing sound echoed around the crack area where Duan Qing was located as he cast the spell, and Duan Qing and others were surrounded by purple-black silk threads all over the sky. The intertwined magical fluorescence was then woven into a large...
Symbols that Fian Qing couldn't understand formed a giant magic circle at their feet. Legend of Lieyan, who was on the edge of the magic circle, then raised his shield and blasted towards the location of the purple threads, trying to break through the shackles of the magic circle.
Being bounced back by the invisible force, Duan Qing, who had been motionless, looked down at the familiar lines at his feet, and his pupils shrank slightly: "Is this... a teleportation circle?"
"I didn't expect you to know each other." Hayward's figure on the other side of the interweaving purple light began to become more and more blurred: "The 'Taylor Lent' method connected to the void world can transport anyone to any free continent.
Known coordinate points... In order to show the importance I attach to you, I chose the Land of Fire this time."
"...Holy crap!" The royal family's president, Babaojun, immediately stared: "The land of flames at the northernmost point of the Free Continent? Are you humans?"
"Since this son of destiny hasn't made up his mind yet, I think it's better to give you more time to think about it." Looking at Duan Qing's face, which still showed no resistance, Hayward finally put away his smile:
"In case... when the time comes, you still choose to be our enemy."
"I look forward to hearing from you after a long time, Your Excellency Mo Shang Qingshan."
Rumble, rumble——
The magical light that dispelled the darkness finally turned into a bright purple, completely filling the field of vision in front of Duan Qing. He closed his eyes quietly, and then shouted with the two players beside him finally reacting,
They disappeared into the cracked space together.
*************************
"Holy shit, holy crap, my #@%..."
In Free Continent, in the northwest mountain forest of Anderson Independent State, one of the three figures that gradually fell from the air suddenly jumped up from the spot, shouting angrily: "Land of Fire! That
Is this a place where people live? And it’s thousands of kilometers away from the principality! How can we go back... Huh?"
"This... doesn't seem to be the land of fire." Another warrior with a large shield who was calmer than the opponent then put away his shield, and then touched the adventurer's manual on his waist with his big hand like a leaf fan: "Such a beautiful scenery.
place……"
"This... seems to be the Taru Forest." Babaojun, who also calmed down, looked back and forth for a while, and then said his answer with a little surprise: "It is the Taru Forest in the northwest of the Independent State! But this
……Why……"
"Maybe it's because we are players, so there is something wrong with the transmission."
Hiding the Ring of the Council of Mage, whose light was gradually fading, in his hand, Duan Qing explained in a low voice: "I listen to those NPCs bragging about how powerful they are all day long, but in the end I just scare myself..."
"Speaking of ordinary players, there should be only two of us present, right?" Legend of Flame, who was flipping through the map to confirm the direction, raised his head when he heard the sound: "Judging from the conversation you had with that guy just now... we are basically
It’s different.”
"Yes, who is that guy?" Babaojun on the other side also showed a rather interested expression: "What is your relationship with him?"
"...Of course it's a hostile relationship."
Duan Qing sighed helplessly, and Duan Qing, who was sitting down, began to check his belongings: "He should be a high-ranking member of the Restoration, and one of the bosses of the Magic Council formerly known as the Magic Empire. From the only time I witnessed it,
Judging from the strength, it should not be an opponent that the existing players can deal with..."
"That guy is a Restorer?" Mr. Ba Bao immediately said with bright eyes: "The Restorer is indeed hidden in the Dragon Valley? Our previous speculations...were all right?"
"Look, look, you really don't have confidence in yourself." Legend of Flames pointed at the opponent and immediately rolled his eyes: "And don't be too happy just yet, they might have teleported here too."
"That also proves that they have been hiding in the Independent State!" Babaojun said with reason: "Plus the melting pot there... That is a melting pot, a melting pot! If the restorers really take the Independent State as their next step,
How can we defend the offensive target?"
"No, we have to go back immediately and tell Lord Runo." He became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally jumped up while pressing the hilt of his sword: "Leave now! You..."
"Don't rush yet."
Duan Qing raised his hand and made a downward movement. Duan Qing, who did not raise his head, interrupted the other party lightly: "The other party used a teleportation technique that is said to be able to teleport thousands of kilometers. Now he must not have thought that we are still in the Independent State. This
It’s good news for us. The hidden good guys may be able to use their tricks..."
"Brothers Qingshan seem to have planned this collision for a long time." Legend of Lieyan on the other side also grinned: "Do you already have a plan in mind?"
"'Tylerent'...heh, the name sounds nice, but it is nothing more than the use of non-magical technology."
Recalling the scene that happened in the tower that day, Duan Qing's voice became much deeper: "The people who are connected to the void in the free world are not the restorers of the Magic Empire, but a group of more insidious people.
Guy..."
"A more sinister guy?" The two shield warriors looked at each other, and then asked in unison: "Is there a bigger enemy behind the Restoration?"
"A group of magicians, guys who claim to be able to control destiny. According to what I heard from a woman who rebelled against the Destiny Weaver... this group of people seems to have the tendency to rule the world."
Looking sideways at the two people, Duan Qing finally stood up and packed his luggage: "We will talk about the specific situation later. Anyway, we can't even defeat the Restorationists now. Although the strength and moves shown by that guy just now
It seems that the possibility that the person calling himself Hayward is a destiny weaver is obviously higher..."
"Wait, wait, can you make it clearer?" Babaojun on the side quickly raised his hand, and then laughed a few times at Duan Qing's expressionless reaction: "Well... or we can go back and take our time.
Talk, I’ll treat you as a guest, as long as you can popularize for us the secrets on this continent, or the background of the restorers..."
"I must go back. At least I have to deal with the results of the battle at hand." Duan Qing withdrew his gaze and lowered his head and said: "But before that..."
"I'll get off the line first."
Ignoring the complaints from the two people, Duan Qing's body then turned into white light and left the game world. Then, after a period of skilled transformation, he appeared in the bloody battlefield customized by the Fool Adventure Group: "Sorry,
It took a little time...how was the training?"
"Everything is according to plan." Mengzhu, who stopped waving the dagger and noticed the arrival of the other party, replied excitedly: "After all..."
"The game starts tomorrow."
