"Norman introduced you here, hey, that old guy is still as lazy as ever."
As the sun got higher and higher, a man who looked like an old man, who used a broom as a makeshift crutch and walked with a stooped body, walked out from the side of the building that looked like a library.
"Come in first."
When the two people turned their heads to look over there, the old man who spoke in an old voice had already turned around and walked towards the door of the library. Duan Qing and Mengzhu looked at each other, and then stopped asking, "
Why do you know?" and other questions, and he walked up directly. Not far ahead, the voice belonging to the old man continued.
"Oh, maybe I can't be like this. The old guy has been like this since he lost his most beloved apprentice. We can't be too harsh on an old man who is too sad, so we should..."
"Norman is a mentally fragile man."
It's not as good as just now, Duan Qing thought.
The interior of the library was just like what they had seen outside before. When the two of them entered, what they saw was not the rows of bookshelves they had imagined, or the mountains of messy books on the floor.
It is an ordinary household room, like a house.
"This is the library of Fenghua Town." The old voice that had been talking before slowly stopped in front of a rocking chair made of wood. She turned around and faced the two people who came here: "
It’s also where I live.”
Duan Qing and Duan Qing looked at each other in surprise - he didn't look like an old man at all.
With a beautiful and young face, dark head, white neck and black robe, a white cloth belt was tied tightly around her waist, while tying up the black robe on her body,
It also revealed the **** feet below - this man they thought was very old actually didn't even wear shoes.
She moved her hands together, closed her upper body clothes, and sat down on the rocking chair behind her: "Sit down."
At this time, the two of them were sure that the old man's voice was indeed coming from the young woman in front of them.
The two sat down on the wooden chair on the other side. They looked at the beautiful figure opposite and stretched out an equally white hand to pick up a steaming wooden cup from the table on the side.
She took a sip from the bottom of the cup, exhaled with satisfaction, and then continued to use her old man's voice: "There is no doubt that this place still has the function of a library."
She stretched out one of her hands that was originally holding the cup and pointed to a door nearby: "They are all there."
"Uh..." Duan Qingben was more interested in the age of the woman in front of him, but he wisely did not express any opinion on this aspect: "Although we are also very interested, we still
I have something else I want to ask...you about."
"Oh, today's young people are so impatient." Holding the wooden cup in front of her belly, the woman closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed the fragrance of the drink in the cup: "In that case...
Then I’ll tell you straightforwardly.”
"It was indeed me who revealed the news." She said slowly, "I discovered... the tragedy of that girl."
"...Is it you?" Duan Qing said in surprise: "I thought it was someone from the Mages Council..."
"Magic is indeed omnipotent in this world, my friend." The woman smiled faintly, but Duan Qing saw it and felt there was some irony in it: "But they can't do this yet...
The supernatural powers are vast.”
"At least they can't...foresee a person's fate."
Duan Qing's face froze.
"You...are..." He held his hands that trembled together for a moment: "The Weaver of Destiny?"
The woman glanced at the other person and then nodded: "Although I can't predict the fate of you adventurers, I can smell the scent of Gustan from the two of you."
"What...has he done with you two?"
"Pa... uh..." Because some time had passed and too many things happened, Duan Qing couldn't remember what happened when he first arrived in Fenghua Town.
But the girl next to her still remembered it clearly: "He asked us to find Rama, who would take care of us, but..."
Amid Duan Qing's awkward laughter, the woman smiled imperceptibly: "That's it, haha..."
"Then let's get started. What do you want to know?" She put down the wooden cup, folded her hands and placed them in front of her knees. Her calm temperament was completely inconsistent with her young face, but more like an aristocrat.
Old woman: "Don't be formal, I'm not that old Gustan..."
Of course you people who practice occultism can do this to each other...and the contrast between you is really hard to let go of.
Duan Qing cleared his throat, and then organized his words: "Ahem..."
"Is Fenghua Town... really in danger?"
Mengzhu looked aside in surprise, not expecting Duan Qing to ask such a big question.
"The fate of Fenghua Town...is far from as beautiful as it seems from the outside." The woman replied calmly: "A new food supply plan will be launched at the town hall to take care of those who are about to become more and more serious.
More and more refugees are coming. And this...will cause resistance from other townspeople."
Duan Qing's pupils shrank.
"And... these foods have been lost in the recent period." The woman continued to damage the confidence of the two people in front of her with her mature voice: "This plan is just to consolidate
This is just a loss."
"What...mean?" It seemed like a long time passed before Mengzhu's voice full of doubts came out.
"It seems that you are not suitable to participate in these things." The figure in black robe began to sway with the swing of the rocking chair: "Adventurers should do what adventurers should do, and the rest...
.”
"What can we do?" Duan Qing finally came back from his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Please give me some advice."
"Oh, there are many things you can do. For example..." The woman looked up at the sky and raised a finger: "Protect Nina."
"Is Nina important in this whole thing?"
"To some extent... it's important." Unexpectedly, this question made the woman in the rocking chair think about it for a long time. So much so that both Duan Qing and Mengzhu thought the other party had fallen asleep, and she suddenly
Answered this question.
"But I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"Because this is not her destiny." The woman laughed strangely: "If possible, I don't want to see the established destiny... change."
So I hate those of you who are into occultism... Duan Qing twitched his lips, but in the end he couldn't help but let his curiosity continue to expand.
"Then..." He thought about it and decided to get more information: "We want to inquire about two people. This should be easy for you..."
"A man named Feeney."
The woman closed her eyes and rested for a while, then shook her head.
Does this mean I can't, or I don't know... He smiled bitterly in his heart, and Duan Qing had no choice but to continue his question: "Then, there is another person named Laska...
"
This time, the woman's eyes showed surprise.
"Ha, ha ha..." After a moment, she shook her head helplessly, and then said in an old voice: "It seems that you have misunderstood in some places."
"Laska Mashat, the current mayor of Fenghua Town." The woman smiled and said, "But he likes others to call him...Mayor Rama."
"What a person with bad taste." Her voice deepened and became inaudible. Correspondingly, Duan Qing's hair stood up at that moment.
***************
"I just felt that there was something fishy in the end of the whole thing." On the way down the mountain, Duan Qing was still aggrieved: "After fighting for a long time, it turns out that we are against the mayor."
"Fortunately, we went to find him earlier, but now it seems that we are simply sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth..." Duan Qing said bitterly with a livid face.
"But... we didn't see any problems before." Although Mengzhu was also very angry, there was also a trace of doubt in his anger: "The mayor is also very kind to us."
"Although I also think that we made a mistake, but if this is the case, many things can be solved... As for Rama's attitude, it is probably because something went wrong." Duan Qing said in his voice.
The anger still did not stop: "So we didn't realize this. Let me think about it, let me think about it, at the earliest..."
"It started with that bracelet." The girl's voice was a little low.
"Uh..." Duan Qing stopped waving his hand in the air.
"If I didn't insist on taking that thing to find Rama, the other party wouldn't know about us." The girl's voice gradually became fluent, and correspondingly, her mood became more and more depressed. Duan Qing knew,
The other person started blaming himself again.
"This is none of our business." Then Duan Qing patted her head: "It's all that Gustan's fault. He didn't tell us clearly. That's why I hate these people the most. They keep nagging all day long...
..Don’t think about this, let’s go to Axel’s Tavern as soon as possible.”
Although the seemingly young woman from before did not help them with the most critical information, she finally gave them a guide: if they wanted to check a person somewhere, or do something not so easy to do
, the best way is to find a local organization. The shadows behind this organization can be found in every corner of the Free Continent, but similarly, in those places, few people know their reputation.
Their name is the Shadow Society.
"It's best to ask them to help you do this kind of thing." The woman finally stood up from the rocking chair and hid her naked feet under the loose black robe. She walked around herself
Next to the round table, go to the side and back - there is a spiral staircase, which seems to be the passage leading upstairs.
"Of course, if you are interested... you can visit the library here." She stopped and looked at the two people who became restless with interest.
The man stood up and hurriedly expressed to the other party: "Thank you for your kindness, but now we may..."
"Oh, I understand you." The woman smiled, then turned back and walked upstairs: "Judging from your faces, Gustan must have done something...bad to you."
"But it doesn't matter, guys, Wiesel should be able to help you find the person you are looking for. Please don't... give up hope."
"I hope you can survive in the next few days."
After turning the last circle, she left behind a last whisper that Duan Qing and Mengzhu couldn't hear at all, and then disappeared into the floor of the second floor.
"But when I think about it, that woman is really strange..." After delaying the time for half an hour, Duan Qing and Mengzhu had already arrived on Flower Basket Street. Recalling the scene just now, the girl was still a little afraid.
The feeling of belief: "She is so beautiful, but she has the voice of an old man..."
"Hey, uncle, could it be that...she used that voice on purpose?"
"This has nothing to do with us." Duan Qing said dullly, but realizing that there was something wrong with his emotions, he added: "And I don't know what kind of strange things happen to things like the Destiny Weaver.
I feel strange..."
"Well, but I always feel that, well...the old lady...hey, we don't seem to know her name yet?"
"I forgot to ask... that's all. These are just details, insignificant things. The most important thing for us now is to find that Fini person. According to my guess, since the other party has a relationship with Yasiqi,
What kind of relationship is there, and it's probably a hostile attitude, so he must be a shady figure. If we don't find an organization like the Shadow Society to help us, we probably won't be able to find him for the rest of our lives..."
"If we can get something related to Raska...no, something related to Rama, maybe our current situation will be better, at least we can have some...negotiation
Capital." The two of them had already reached the door of the Axel Tavern. Duan Qing let out a long breath, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the last coincidence would appear here, the contact person of the Shadow Society...
.”
"I hope I didn't get the name wrong this time." He pushed open the door and entered.
The inside of the tavern was as lively and bloody as when they first arrived. Among the crowd of onlookers, three or two players fighting each other were tumbling up and down, and their own shouts could be heard from time to time in the air. Duan Qing glanced twice
, found that the number of people here was less than usual.
"It seems...it's not as lively as it was at the beginning..."
"Because of the training match at Fengwu Plaza, sir." A familiar voice sounded from the side: "The match over there was also very exciting, so many people went to watch the match... Oh, it's you."
A member of the Fool's Adventure Group, the Salted Fish King, but now he is only in name only.
"That's you! It's been so many days and you haven't even shown your face. Do you still have a basic sense of responsibility?" As if she had seen a debt evader who had been on the run for many years, the girl with the golden ponytail jumped to the scene.
In front of that person, the debt collection mode was started, and what followed was a righteous condemnation.
The salty fish king who used to be calm and unhurried seemed to have no choice in the face of such an energetic girl. He looked at Duan Qing for help. The latter shook his head in amusement, and then went up to hold her still.
The girl waving her fist: "We want to find Wiesel."
"You..." The Salted Fish King's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled with some understanding: "You are actually still..."
"I know."
