"This is the situation...you have to believe what we say!"
The starry sky in the Free Continent is still beautiful and fascinating. If you can see it up close through the clouds and fog, the effect may be better. But even this place that has reached the clouds is still shrouded in clouds and mist. Therefore, as the first players in the free world to reach the highest peak, Duan Qing and the others still have no chance to "see all the mountains at a glance", even if they are It is very difficult to see what the scene looks like dozens of meters away.
The main reason is because the great magician sisters are repairing the ancient large magic circle in the center of the ruins.
"I believe it, but Laura has never seen that city, so naturally there is no way to prove it for you."
The ribbon girl with a smile on her face seemed to have regained her normal demeanor after the battle, with a lively and innocent look: "The magic circle has lost its core, and the 'clearing the fog' you said cannot be achieved. There is no way to talk about the so-called roads..."
"Then we won't seal it off again, right? There should be no monsters in this place anymore..."
"There's nothing we can do about it. This ruins can't be seen casually." The girl waved her fingers and pointed at the surroundings that looked more like ruins after the war: "So many...historical secrets, if they were passed down... If we go out, it may cause more disturbances."
She lowered her voice somewhat mysteriously and said, "Have you heard of the 'Restorationist'?"
What do you want to do with this Amway look on your face...
Duan Qing had a black line on his face, and then tilted his head: "Ah hahaha, I understand, this place hides many high-level secrets, so it can't be known to the world, right? For example, it turns out that there are all kinds of secrets hidden here. Relics of ancient heroes..."
"What you said is half right."
Christine's voice suddenly came from the distance, and a blue light flashed in the night, and the familiar blue-robed figure appeared in front of them: "Some things were once preserved here, but not It’s just a relic…and this place is still dangerous.”
Her eyes looked at Duan Qing: "We are really destined, adventurer."
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to come in the end." Duan Qing stroked his chest again and saluted: "Thank you again for your life-saving grace."
"We just happened by chance." Christine's eyes wandered back and forth among several people, and finally looked away at the unhappy traveling businessman: "Oh, hehe, the little girl is still as shy as ever. ..."
Why do I look like I have a grudge... Duan Qing thought maliciously in his heart.
"This is the place that the Master Council has focused on monitoring over the years." The mature and charming woman withdrew her gaze, and then explained to the three remaining players present: "Falling Star Mountain, a place full of secrets , and as the highest peak of the main peak, the mysterious peak shrouded in clouds and mist, we have naturally been here before."
She pointed to the center of the square, the white core floating in the air left after the giant was crushed, and said: "We have studied the use of this magic circle and how to activate these things, but in the end It didn't work, so we decided to guard the place closely to prevent innocent people or people with bad intentions from breaking in."
"Are you referring to the fog?"
"No, those fogs are the effect of this magic circle, not the measures we took." Pointing to her feet, Christine's voice was still beautiful and pleasant: "We just used some small means for surveillance. If there is anything unusual, we will know immediately."
"It seems that you came in time this time." Xue Ling Huan Bing nodded in agreement.
"Since the last... incident at the Emerald Tower, magic gathering areas everywhere have been in chaos. The same is true in Falling Star Mountain, so since we rushed back, we have been asking the Mage Council to send more troops. Manpower, observe these possible trouble spots more closely." Looking at the woman in the black cloak, Christine smiled with some understanding: "There are many signs of changes in the Falling Star Mountain area. For example, the rapid increase of elements, the retention of energy, and the self-charging of some facilities..."
"Uh...can you say it in words we can understand..."
"Oh, it's really hard for you adventurers." The woman smiled brightly, and then clasped her hands together: "You actually want to know so many things..."
"Just want to satisfy our curiosity."
Realizing that the other party seemed a little hesitant, Duan Qing hurriedly took over the conversation: "Since you don't want to explain, let's make our own guesses about what you just mentioned."
"The so-called increase in elements refers to the change in bad weather near Falling Star Mountain, right?"
The woman in blue robe looked at the other party in surprise.
"According to the information we have learned, the weather near Falling Star Mountain has only started to change like this recently. When we came here before, the green stones in the caves did not appear." Xue Ling Huan Bing also began to ponder. : "Perhaps it's not that they didn't appear, but that they were already there, but... were charged by saturated elements?"
"Even stones can be charged with energy. It is expected that those ancient ruins and devices can be re-operated. Moreover, we have experienced an explosion of wind elements in the elevator hall before, which shows that the wind here is The density of elements has exceeded a certain limit..."
"Is that one of the reasons why the earth element is so violent?"
"It's hard to say. The more powerful an elemental creature is, the stronger its resistance to other elements should be. Why was that elemental creature so afraid at that time..."
Snap—pop—pop—
Several people who were discussing with each other turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw the woman in blue robe clapping her hands and looking at the three of them with admiration: "You are indeed an adventurer, you can guess so much just based on these things. .....”
"Thank you, thank you." Duan Qing scratched his head in embarrassment, and then shouted excitedly again: "So you have to believe us! What we said before is true! In the sky over there, it's really A floating city appeared!"
"Okay, okay." The woman in blue robe waved her hand amusingly, signaling the other party not to be so excited: "Well, we didn't find the disc buried under the ruins before, and of course we didn't find what you said. That kind of phenomenon, but...if the city you described really exists in that direction, we should be able to feel it."
"If a city that big wants to float in the air, it must use magic technology."
She looked at Freya, who was still not far away with her hands raised, repairing the magic circle, and then shook her head again and said: "And now, we... don't sense anything."
"Perhaps you were blocked by some magical shielding method..." Duan Qing still did not give up.
"Well, what you said is possible, but we are not very good at illusions and interference." As if she had thought of something, Christine and her sister looked at each other again: "Haha, let's do this in the future. It would be nice for him to come and take a look, but..."
She turned around and said: "As a senior magician, I still think that the possibility of what you saw is simply some kind of phantom... is it more likely now?"
"well......"
Several people hung their heads in frustration.
"Okay, okay, I won't hit you anymore." Christine shook her head in amusement: "It's getting late, and the repair work of the magic circle is almost completed. When this place is sealed again, it shouldn't be There will be again... little adventurers like you, blundering in."
She raised her head and looked at the sky above: "As for the elemental disorder here... let them calm down on their own."
As the magic circle was gradually repaired, the wind in the ruins on the top of the mountain gradually calmed down, gradually returning to the calmness it had when they first arrived here. The magic patterns under their feet returned to their familiar white light. Only the surrounding collapsed walls and the large amount of rubble scattered on the ground reminded them of what they had experienced before.
"Is Art...really dead?"
"Hey, don't think about it anymore. It's a pity that he died, but we can't always dwell on this kind of thing, right?" The big man in black armor patted Duan Qing on the shoulder, patting him till his veins popped out: " It’s good to be the first person in the free world for once. What else do you want to do? You can’t be too greedy! Hahahaha... ugh."
"Okay, okay, I just want to comfort you." Seeing the looks in the other people's eyes, Nan Tieshan lowered his head angrily: "That little guy is indeed pretty good, but his strength is a bit lacking... ."
"When you are ready, come and let me know. I can take you down the mountain." The woman in blue robe has turned and walked towards the direction of the magic circle: "We still have to maintain the stability of the magic circle here, so we won't go with you. ”
"You'd better go back as soon as possible. The current situation in the principality... seems to be very bad."
A woman's charming voice could be heard in the air, but before Duan Qing could recover, a mysterious traveling businessman suddenly approached them: "Huh...she's finally gone."
"Haha, haha..." Due to the situation that neither party could offend, Duan Qing said with an apologetic smile: "What else can you do, Heroine? Let me tell you first, we really can't afford to apologize to you. The goods..."
"Ah? Oh, it's okay. Laura won't pursue that matter anymore." The girl reacted in a daze, and then hurriedly explained: "Lola is a businessman. How can a businessman not lose money... ..."
I have never seen a businessman who can fight like you, and you didn't say that before... Duan Qing shouted in his heart.
"Laura is leaving."
The girl suddenly said.
"Ah...really?" Looking at each other with the other two people, Duan Qing couldn't help but scratch his head: "Is it because there is nothing going on here?"
"Yes, the monsters have been defeated, and they are here. The problem..." She looked at the pair of sisters not far away with her hands on her hips, and then looked at Duan Qing's face: "It should be solved."
She walked towards the darkness not far away: "There should be nothing to do with Laura here. Laura...has to continue her journey!"
"Uh, I forgot to thank you." Duan Qing said, "You were the one who directly saved our lives."
"It doesn't have to be like this, after all...I didn't save everyone."
As if in response to her mood, the girl paused for a moment, and then as if she wanted to disperse something, she suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "That's right! Since your performance is so good...even if you It’s good to pass Laura’s test.”
“How about Laura selling you something?”
"Wha, what!" Duan Qing said in shock: "Really?"
The girl nodded to Duan Qing, her wheat-colored face smiled like a flower, and then motioned for him to follow her into the darkness: "But... the so-called fate is not just for us. We met several times.”
As she said these words, she pointed at the black dagger at Duan Qing's waist.
"ah?"
"Lola, I have some friendship with the previous owner of this 'Black Snake's Bite'." The girl jumped to the corner, then tugged hard and took away the large backpack she had left here. Lifting it out from the darkness: "So, seeing you get such a good weapon from that person, Laura felt..."
"Is this... the reason why you always refused to sell me things before?" Duan Qing said with a black line on his face: "Do you have a grudge against the original owner of this sword?"
"No, but... I just don't like him a little bit." Laura pursed her lips: "He is one of Laura's apprentices."
"What?" Duan Qing was shocked for the second time: "Richard is your apprentice? That uncle?"
"What's the matter? Have you never seen an apprentice older than the master?" The girl with her hands on her hips looked disdainful: "Young adventurer, it seems you still need more experience... or... Say, you don’t believe what Laura said?”
"I believe it, I believe it." Seeing the opponent's clenched fist, Duan Qing hurriedly raised his arms: "My Lady Heroine, otherwise you can accept me as your apprentice!"
"You are not from the Warrior House, why would Laura take you in..." The girl turned around, then plopped down in front of her big backpack and started to rummage inside: "Then, What should Lola sell you? Think about it... By the way, since you lost a weapon, how about Lola give you a new one... ..”
She turned around with a smile and showed what she was holding in front of Duan Qing: "Here, take your pick!"
In the girl's bright smile, Duan Qing's eyes straightened up again.
