"Do we have to leave?"
"Not necessarily, but...it's the best option."
In the Adventurer's Association that has not yet finished cleaning up, Duan Qing and Mengzhu are still doing the work of cleaning up, but this cleaning has nothing to do with the current mess of the Adventurer's Association - they are packing their belongings.
"We were just casual players, and we got involved in this matter at the right time. Looking back now, if it hadn't been for me taking care of that little girl that day and then feeling compassion, we wouldn't be where we are today."
The little girl looked here and there in frustration, walking around reluctantly. If an uninformed person saw it, it would be difficult to distinguish her from the beating golden girl who had just formed an adventure group. Ponytail girls connect. Duan Qing knew that that was the reason why the other party was in a bad mood, especially in such a powerless situation.
But he can only try to persuade the other party.
"Face the reality, with the strength of the three or two of us, it is difficult to stand in front of those big guild meetings for five seconds, let alone... we spend a lot of time in Fenghua Town anyway. I’ve grown up, gained a lot of levels, and gained a lot of benefits. It’s time to go to the next place to develop..."
"But...I was scared away by others..."
"It's not that I scared them away, it's that I don't know them in the same way." Duan Qing threw a water bag that he often used in his luggage, and then began to rummage through the ruins to find the small box where he kept his personal belongings in the Adventurers Association: " If one day you also become the second largest guild in the alliance, you can come back to cause trouble for them, but I don’t think this is your original intention of establishing an adventure group. I warned you at the beginning that it is okay to establish a guild. Yes, but you must always remember your original dream..."
"Hmph!" Mengzhu stomped her feet heavily: "The second most amazing person in the alliance! How could they do this! It's a shame that I still trust Sister Xueling Huanbing so much..."
"Guilds have their own goals and needs. How they develop is their business." Facing the other party's dissatisfaction, Duan Qing still showed a normal face: "This is especially true for big guilds. Since they can earn so much There are so many interests, and if any kittens or puppies are crushed to death, they are not able to take care of it at this time. And no matter what happens to Xue Ling Huan Bing, she is the captain of an elite team, and she can say anything... ....”
"But according to you, didn't those people come here long ago?"
"That's what Fu Sheng Lu Meng told me. How do I know the specific situation..." Duan Qing dragged out a small box from under the wooden board and began to look for anything else inside when he had completed those trivial tasks. , got some valuable things: "For the sake of selling favors, he told me the information he just learned..."
Duan Qing's words paused - thinking of what the scholar in black told him not long ago, even he himself found it a bit difficult to accept.
Previously at the door of the Adventurers Association, Fu Sheng Ling Meng told him the information his younger brother had just found: there was indeed someone behind the series of actions of the local force headed by the code name Aqiang, that is, the Red Soul Guild. Those few people have sneaked into Fenghua Town a few days ago, and have been carrying out secret activities behind the scenes. Although they could not find out who they were specifically, but relying on their relationship with the Mages Council, they were able to find the records left by the Fenghua Town Guards at the entrance and exit of the city - those people claimed to be from the distant Redcar. Some businessmen.
That is the capital of Frey Empire.
"What has been determined is that those people should be some players, and... I seem to know the leader." When he said this, Fu Sheng Ling Meng's face showed a rare look of solemnity. : "That person's name is... clown."
"Royal Jester."
"Listen to his name, don't think he is a funny person. In fact, he is also famous for calculations, but his style is different from mine. He likes to trick others behind their backs." The scholar in black hit his waist with his hand: " All in all, he is a very dangerous person.”
"It is said that it is now affiliated with Wings of Freedom." He added: "I don't know when he joined...or when the player became famous."
"Then I really should be lucky...aren't you such a person?"
"Of course." Fusheng Limeng said: "If it were him, you wouldn't want to learn his methods... In fact, I have already learned them. Now think about it, this matter has reached this point. , it should also be his handiwork..."
"Oh?" Duan Qing asked, "Isn't it part of your plan?"
"Definitely not...uh." The scholar in black waved his arm, and then slowly lowered it. He thought for a while, then raised his head: "Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you now."
"When we first came to this place, we received an internal report from the Mage Council. It was said that there was something going on here in Fenghua Town. The top brass of the Mage Council had doubts about the situation here, so we wanted to take advantage of their absence. Before solving the problem, come here and grab the credit. On the one hand, we can once again close the relationship with the Mage Council, and on the other hand... we also want to see if we can get any benefits."
"I don't see what benefits you can get."
"Some things have to be done before you know what the benefits are. This rule is especially useful in the game world. Otherwise, what do you think those people all over the world who want to trigger hidden people are thinking." Fusheng Limeng smiled. "We came here with this idea in mind and then did some work," he said.
"Later we discovered that Fenghua Town did have problems - the food crisis, the bandit crisis, and the problems at the foot of Little Anchidar Mountain in the east, all of which were inextricably linked to the mayor of Fenghua Town. The connection. So we collected some information, found some background information, and then... formulated the plan for Fengwu Square."
"It's really amazing." Duan Qing clapped his hands: "Including Jian Beidong."
"If there hadn't been Jian Beidong's duel, we would have had other ways to confront Gang Rama." Fu Sheng Leng Meng spread his hands: "So he just... bumped into the muzzle of the gun."
"Okay, okay, what next?" Duan Qing pushed his palms: "Your plan... didn't succeed?"
"Yes." The other party said: "According to our assumption, the development of the matter should end with Rama's downfall. We have even prepared the candidate for the next mayor. But what we didn't expect is that the other party seemed to have no idea about that day. I was very well prepared for my sudden attack in the afternoon, and in the end... I diverted the crowd's guns."
"It hit us on the head." Duan Qing nodded.
"I won't talk about what happened next. You know more than me." The scholar in black paused and straightened his hair at the same time: "And what I want to say now is... to the mayor The people who tipped off and prepared them...were the Wings of Liberty."
"It would be fine if it was just a red soul, but Wings of Freedom...if they get involved, their purpose will never be that simple."
"You mean...even if things get to this point, they still won't let it go?"
"Based on my guess, it's like this." The scholar in black still analyzed calmly: "The arrival of our Wizard is based on the information from the Mage Council. The other party obviously knows about this and has sent my The plan was ruined. If we use this as an inference...where is their intelligence source?"
Duan Qing's face also became heavy - he remembered his previous conversation with old man Norman.
"Of course it's the empire." Without paying attention to the other party's face, Fusheng Limeng snapped his fingers: "Combining the reasons for the previous war between the empire and the principality, as well as the Free Flying people who have been mixing on the battlefield, I can conclude The conclusion is......"
"The senior leaders of Wings of Freedom have grasped the reason why the empire suddenly launched a war, and this reason...may be the reason why they sent people to this place."
The silence lasted for a while, and the scholar in black did not continue to speak, but gave the other party a certain amount of time to think, but the time he waited was much shorter than he imagined.
"The Restoration Alliance?"
"You actually know?"
A surprised expression appeared on Fusheng Limeng's face: "I thought only the members of the Mages Council knew about this word..."
"I have some friendship with the old man Norman." Duan Qing pointed to the tall building opposite, and then continued to ask: "You mean... they are here to find those restorationists? They want to eliminate those people , or do you want to cooperate with them?”
"I don't know, but judging from Chi Hun's actions today, the latter is more likely." Fusheng Lingmeng nodded and said, "But no matter which situation it is, we at Wizard will find it very difficult. This is not only because our power is loose, but also because..."
"Because of the war."
"Not bad." The scholar said with satisfaction: "The situation in the principality is now described as precarious. It is not an exaggeration to describe the situation in Fenghua Town, and Fenghua Town is a land that produces food, so it is understandable to be targeted by the enemy. No matter what they do. , they can easily achieve their purpose of using this to cause destruction - as long as this place becomes chaotic."
"It is very likely that there is an empire behind Wings of Freedom, so... it is very difficult for us to deal with it now."
"Maybe they are not here for you and me." Duan Qing touched his nose: "Maybe they are old rivals in the world..."
"Then I don't want to get involved in this muddy water." The scholar in black shook his head: "And I... also advise you not to get involved."
"Ha, thank you for your advice." Duan Qing said with a smile: "Are these the favors you sold me?"
"If you think it doesn't count, don't forget it." Fusheng Limeng also smiled, then turned and left: "But I am very happy about today's conversation."
"Hey, don't you want to know what I know?" Duan Qing shouted at the top of his voice when he realized that the other party had really gone far this time.
"I don't want to anymore." The other party waved his hand, and then said to himself in a low and inaudible voice: "And..."
"I know everything I need to know."
"Wings of freedom..."
The angle of the sun has begun to tilt towards the west, which is a sign that the time has entered the afternoon. Duan Qing slowly sat next to the big pit, thinking about the meaning behind the information he had heard before - as the dog head of Wizard Military advisor, Fu Sheng Liumeng should not deceive himself about this kind of thing, but for Duan Qing, even if what he heard before is true, he still will not easily lose his courage because of this potential crisis. .
"Judging from the situation of the previous eldest lady, they are not very strong..."
Waving the iron catalpa in his hand casually, Duan Qing analyzed to himself: "At most, some NPCs from the empire will appear here. Hey, it seems unscientific when I think about it. This is Fenghua Town. Why would a novice encounter such a big thing in the second town after leaving the village..."
What he didn't expect was that things would develop much faster than he thought.
"Moshang Qingshan."
"Who is it again...ah!"
Duan Qing raised his head, and on the other side of the pit, the image of the decadent uncle belonging to Richard appeared in front of him.
"Well...I'm just going to take a rest and start filling in the holes right away, right away..."
"No."
The uncle with messy hair walked slowly around the edge of the pit. He looked at Duan Qing with a strange look for a while, and then he nodded heavily after he looked a little confused.
"You'd better go."
"ah?"
After a long question, Duan Qing couldn't help but express the reaction that everyone would have: "Why?"
"The latest news from Tania." Richard whispered: "The Pamir Speaker heard about Kalon Pass, and he... was very angry. So he has sent people Come here, take all the suspects back and face trial."
"What!?" Duan Qing was shocked: "Aren't there few casualties?"
"Those are supplies for reinforcements. When the war in the principality has developed to this extent, they will never allow problems in their rear areas, so...even if it means killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, this decision must be made."
"But we are innocent!" Duan Qing shouted: "Are we going to be arrested and taken away?"
"Although Jin's decision has not yet been made, and there is no movement from the Mages Council, as long as Rama is in office, he will be the mayor of Fenghua Town, no matter how many doubts... there are on his head. Richard sighed heavily: "So if someone comes from the capital, you will only be arrested."
"It's so fucking unscientific." Duan Qing threw the iron catalpa in his hand to the ground: "Is there anyone who bullies people like this? You have to force me..."
"calm."
The uncle patted his hand on his shoulder, and Duan Qing immediately felt that his body was not in control - he felt that the hand on his shoulder was as heavy as a mountain, although Richard's hand was indeed as big as a cattail leaf fan.
"I know this is unfair to you, but we can't make a better choice." His tone was heavy: "Even I don't dare to question Pamir's decision, let alone an ordinary person like you. Although......"
He paused, as if he remembered something else, and slowly let go of his hand: "So if it is not necessary, it would be wiser not to confront the Speaker head-on. This will be good for you, your companions, me, and Nina…it’s all the best way.”
"Okay, now you have two choices." He turned around and started walking in the direction of the Adventurers Association: "Stay and wait for the people from the principality to come and arrest you, or..."
"Run away first."
