"relation?"
There was a puzzled expression on his face. Duzui Duxing blinked his eyes while breathing in the smell of alcohol: "What's the relationship? Is it the relationship of drinking and drinking?"
"That Lord Luxor, I feel very suspicious at first glance."
Hiding the background he knew, Duan Qing looked at the other party with contempt: "Sure enough... you two are not just an employer and a mercenary, right?"
"The main range of activities of our flame dragon beasts is not here, but in the province of Thebilis." Duzui Duxing shook his head with a smile: "I just didn't know what you were asking, so I just made a joke.
"
"Are you joking? Then I'll ask you again." Duan Qing crossed his arms: "Where did you get the task of seizing the disk? Is it the Castle of Tbilisi or the city of Tanzania?
Adventurers Association?"
"..."
"Can't you answer it? Labor and management have already investigated it."
Looking at the other party's silent face, Duan Qing put on a proud expression: "My companions and I finally squeezed into the second floor of the Adventurers Association, and we also have the authority to investigate past mission handover records.
In this Tanzanian city, there was indeed a mission to search for treasures in the Gemenan jungle."
"The issuer of the mission is Lord Luxor, and the recipient is the Flame Dragon Beast Adventure Group." After saying this, he pointed at the nose of the drunkard in front of him: "You lied before, why?"
"Well...it's just to cover up."
Hesitantly touched his nose, Du Zui Du Xing swayed his body and leaned against the wall of the alley: "After all, we are still recruiting new people, how can we not find a reason to prevaricate?"
"Prevarication? I'm afraid it's not that simple." Duan Qing squinted his eyes: "The record of the Adventurers Association shows that the mission release time is ten o'clock in the morning on January 4, 796 in the New Calendar, and the time it was picked up
It was also 10 o'clock in the morning on January 4th - the list was taken down before it was posted. No matter how you think about it, it seems abnormal!"
"...You investigated really carefully."
Tapping his fingers, the look of a sober drunkard finally slowly disappeared because of Duan Qing's words: "No, to be precise... As a newly established guild, the authority you have received is really
So high."
"It just so happened that we completed a wanted mission that has been here for four years, and we have something to do with the president of the Adventurers Association." Duan Qing still retained his proud expression: "So when we made this request
, President Hannah agreed very readily."
"Even the president's name has been found out by you... Huh." He covered his mouth, and his drunken eyes showed a bit of sharpness that was different from before with this cold snort: "Okay.
, this task is indeed something we and Lord Luxor have agreed on a long time ago, but... so what?"
"Are you very familiar with the recently rising imperial noble?" Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "Do you know what the purpose of that disk is?"
"I think you should also know the properties of that disk."
Pointing to Duan Qing's hands, Du Zui Du Xing slowly took off the felt hat on his head: "When I asked you to help me complete the task and get the disk back, I thought you would take it back.
Swallow it alone..."
"As a magician and alchemist, I have heard of the name Oknos." Duan Qing tugged at the corners of his lips: "Even if you haven't heard of the name, just by looking at the introduction, I've already heard it.
It's enough to show how powerful its name is... Humph, if possible, I don't want to have anything to do with these troubles."
"The events of Sky City are still fresh in my mind. The name of the Sky Clan in ancient times seems to be as loud as the Magic Empire." Duzui Duxing, who was stroking his chest with a felt hat, raised his head helplessly: "That's right.
I was entrusted by Lord Luxor to snatch the disc back. According to what the Lord said..."
"As long as we can return the disc to the Sky City, we can become guests of the Master Council." He withdrew his gaze: "At the same time, we will become enemies of the Restorationists."
"The restorers have been looking for the disc, and even finally grabbed it from Novice Village." Duan Qing, who gradually approached, also lowered his voice: "I don't have the confidence to send it back here after getting the mission props.
You, in the end, chose us.”
"My taste has always been good. When I was in Carlo Village, I invited you many times." Duzui Duxing grinned again: "That invitation to call each other brothers was when I was in Novice Village.
The few sincere words, but they were ruthlessly rejected by you... That's right."
"Where does the blue bird logo on your chest come from?" His eyes rested on the surface of Duan Qinghui's robe: "Is it the logo of the guild you newly joined?"
"That's right, it's just that we established it ourselves." Duan Qing curled his lips: "Since it is being roasted on the fire, it naturally needs to be roasted until it is golden and tender..."
He took two steps forward again and stood in front of the drunkard. The shadow cast by his waving sleeves and body covered the face of the drunken man, and his originally deep voice also contained a hint of warning:
"The request from Novice Village and the subsequent battle in the Gemenan Jungle were all your strategies to drag me into the water and hide yourself behind the scenes, right?"
"I just don't want the name Flamedramon to become too conspicuous in the whole incident." Duzui Duxing replied with a meaningless look: "As for you... I didn't let you work in vain, and I gave you all the rewards.
Are you here?"
"We didn't get a penny of the mission reward, and we were even kicked out of Luxor's mansion later." Duan Qing raised one of his hands fiercely: "Since we can find out the handover of the original commission,
In time, we will naturally be able to find out the list of members of your Flame Dragon Beast guild."
"The guy named Changing Shadow is on that list." He pointed his finger on the opponent's chest: "You sent us here as a scapegoat with your front foot, and kicked us away from Lord Luxor with your back foot.
…”
"What does this mean, brother?"
Silent silence filled the small alley as Duan Qing's words came out. Along with it, the eyes of two people facing each other gradually collided, and they stared at each other for a while.
Then they each took two steps back, widening the distance between them like a showdown in the Western Conference: "Although this is not the effect I originally wanted to achieve, seeing that you have worked so hard to investigate to this point, I will
Just bear this responsibility reluctantly."
"You are just confident that no trace will be found on you, so you just want to get away with it... Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Of course."
In the scene where a vague aura gradually rose as the words flowed, Du Zui Du Xing's hands slowly opened to both sides: "You were the one questioning me before, and you almost forgot that I came to find you.
What’s the purpose?”
"Have you really completed that mission?" His eyes were blazing, and his original image of a drunkard had completely disappeared at this time: "Where is the disk now?"
"……you do not know?"
The atmosphere of the confrontation did not change at all. Duan Qing, who also took on the challenge pose, showed a rather surprised look: "The disk is now in the hands of the Lord of Violet, and it was given to her by Lord Luxor himself...
…”
"What?"
"In order to study the secrets, various mysterious things in Tanzania will eventually be handed over to the hands of the Violet Tower."
Looking at the other party with an expression that didn't look like he was pretending to be surprised, Duan Qing's eyes involuntarily turned to the direction of the tall tower not far away: "That disc is just one of them."
"……hateful."
The murderous look in his eyes gradually disappeared as he turned his eyes, and Duzui Duxing finally fully unfolded his fighting posture: "It seems that there is no time to waste anymore."
"Come when you want and leave when you want?"
Two small potion bottles appeared in his outstretched hands. Duan Qing took a deep breath: "Don't be so anxious. A friend has come from afar, and I haven't treated you to a drink yet."
"Can't we talk about etiquette some other time?" Du Zui Du Xing's hands clenched into fists and swayed slowly in tandem with his swaying body: "I'll ask you next time.
"
"It seems that you are planning to make a toast without having to drink the fine wine." Duan Qing, with his sleeves raised high, spread out his arms: "And... what is this, drunken fist?"
"As a wine lover, knowing a little self-defense that goes with wine is actually nothing."
The swaying of the body began to become more obvious as the steps got closer, but the eyes that were drunk and sober revealed the slightest bit of enchanting light: "And..."
"This is not just an ordinary Drunken Master, it also has some characteristics of the free world mixed in."
The sudden rise in temperature then dispersed the air around Duan Qing, and a red glow surrounded the drunkard. The scene like sparks falling into a wine vat then turned into a blazing flame, bringing with it a blazing fire.
With Du Zui Du Xing's deep smile, they slowly approached Duan Qing's direction. The two bottles of potion in his hand were quickly withdrawn, and Duan Qing, who was skilled in movement, also took out two bottles of ice blue potion, and a
The voice that suddenly appeared at the alley came just before the two opposite colors were about to touch together, and appeared in the space behind the two people together with a player who looked like a Taoist priest: "That... Taoist, I didn't bother you.
Is it up to you?"
"...I have forgotten why I came here."
The ice and fire that almost merged stopped as Duan Qing turned around. At the same time, he showed a look of surprise after turning around: "But..."
"The timing of your appearance is quite right, Master Hongshan."
"Haha, I just noticed something was wrong."
Waving Taoist-like sleeves, the player with the words "Hongshan Lao Tao" on his head then strode up to Duan Qing like a meteor: "When I asked you out before, the place I decided on was clearly the Adventurers Association.
At the gate, not only did I not see you, but I smelled an unusual smell of alcohol... Hmm."
"It seems that the person has slipped away." He stretched his neck and looked at the empty alley behind Duan Qing: "That drunk man is in a hurry? He still saw the great strength of the old Taoist me.
?”
"...Forget it, it seems a bit difficult for me to go one-on-one with a max-level player anyway."
Shaking his head, Duan Qing then took back the ice blue potion bottle in his hand: "Then...it's your turn."
"Why are you looking for me this time?"
"Of course it's for the mission."
Blinking his own eyes, Hongshan Taoist, who also retracted his posture, came to Duan Qing's side with a playful smile: "When I introduced you to participate in this prince's escort mission, I knew you would definitely succeed. How about it? You have been messing around recently.
How's it going?"
"It's just a mediocre job, and I suffered a lot by the way." Duan Qing shook his head angrily: "Also, His Highness the Prince's trip is coming in the next two days, but we are still training in the military camp all day long..."
"Not these two days, but today."
Like a spy who came to contact him, Old Hongshan, who looked around, then came to Duan Qing's side: "The empire's noble group should arrive today, and His Highness the Prince has also received the news before, so..."
"You will be dispatched soon." He put on a serious look: "This is the first show of the Adventurer Guards."
"So fast?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then I will now -"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Holding the opponent's body as he was about to leave, Master Hongshan came to Duan Qing's side again, but this time, his expression clearly had a hint of conspiracy: "Now that we have reached this point..."
"Old Dao, I have a bigger task on my hands. Do you want to hear about it?"
***************************
"Is everyone here? Ready to go!"
In the military camp of Tanzania City, the city guards led by several imperial captains also began to set off neatly in a certain direction amidst shouts among each other. Lott, one of them,
Shi Ye organized his team, and at the same time raised his loud voice: "Today is the day when His Highness the Prince will go out to meet the noble group, cheer up! Who dares to show me at this time?
Question, then——"
"Report Captain." The deep voice belonging to John Corner then appeared in his ears, accompanied by the figure of a tall and thin imperial soldier wearing a helmet who hurriedly ran to him: "In addition to those few adventurous
The other team has already arrived."
"I knew they would be the ones holding us back!" Lott shouted angrily: "Show me which team they are from! Labor and management have to settle accounts with their superiors... What? Is it Linyuan Duanshui? That one
asshole!"
"Where did he go?" (To be continued)
