"So it was you who revived the great magician?"
The sound of running footsteps kept echoing around the streets and alleys of Tanzania City, accompanied by the figures of Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing once again fleeing among the city streets, but this time they were in The process of escaping in the face of the royal guards did not seem as tragic as the constant sounds of pursuit and explosions behind them. There was even time to talk about part of the miracle that just happened over the city: "Is that the great magician you?"
"That's right, although I don't want to complete the mission of 'possession'."
Throwing the last bottle of fire potion backward again, Duan Qing, who was running in front, replied in a low voice: "But judging from the results, the great magician is indeed a super magician who is much stronger than the full-level one." No., both physical fitness and magical properties are much stronger than I expected..."
"Then, is she alive or dead now?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who followed the other party around the next corner, couldn't help but ask a legitimate question: "Has your rescue been successful?"
"It should be a success, at least the body is saved." Duan Qing's running movements became more and more low-key: "As for the soul, we can only... see how much... she still has... Willed..."
The sound of falling to the ground and sliding along with the sound of large pieces of debris being knocked over echoed around the alley. Accompanied by this, Duan Qing, who was still running, suddenly fell to the ground and disappeared from Xue Ling Huan Bing's sight. Seeing the scene, she stopped urgently and then hurriedly pulled her body back to the pile of messed up debris, and found the figure in the gray robe buried among them: "You, you are okay Right? How did you-"
"Ahem, ahem." Duan Qing's weak expression with half-opened eyelids answered her: "Huh, uh... It seems that the energy consumption is greater than I thought."
"You!" The white-haired woman pursed her lips deeply, gritted her teeth and picked up the other person on her back. Finally, she gave up her idea of scolding the other person: "Can't you pay more attention to your body?"
"There is no way, the soul of the Lord of Violet disappeared too fast." Duan Qing, whose head was lowered on the right shoulder of Xue Ling Huan Bing, responded in a weak voice: "Coupled with the reaction and cleanup progress of the other world, I This is the only last resort."
"Although I don't know what happened at that moment, you must have used the Yi Jian, right?" She started running away again, and the woman carrying Duan Qing on her back shouted in a low voice without looking back: "It's really true. Yes, you actually taught me all day long not to use it... Are you still persuasive like this?"
"The conditions and circumstances of the two of us are different." Duan Qing's weak voice seemed to have a hint of ridicule: "You were trapped in an illusory world, and I..."
"I am a frequent visitor to that other world, and I have the final say in everything there."
The piercing sound of swords then sounded behind the two people, burying Duan Qing's smile together with the flying debris of rock and soil in the scene of a sword energy flying in. The two people began to slow down because of the speed of the sword. The one or two soldiers at the front of the group of Imperial Royal Guards who had been drawn closer also began to give up the action of raising their shields, and called on the other members to speed up and catch up to the location of Xue Ling Huan Bing. Gritting his teeth and saying no more unnecessary nonsense, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who tightened his movements with his hands, then speeded up his pace again regardless of the danger of running out of physical strength. Finally, when the sounds of shouts and sword energy were about to come, he stopped talking. The moment before he came to his body, he took into his eyes the scene of the east gate standing in the distance: "..."
Under the illumination of the lingering magic power from the sky of Tanzania City, layer after layer of city guards and the imperial royal guard's defense line were also displayed in front of two people, a man and a woman. It seemed that They were on guard for something, and then they all turned their eyes to Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing. After a while, they expressed themselves at the sight of the same Royal Guard armors that were chasing after them. A shocking shout: "Stop!"
"You two! Hurry up and catch us!"
"It's okay to just capture them without restraint. What's going on with such a tight military situation?" The head lying on his shoulders was raised slightly, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in Duan Qing's weak voice: "They Do you hate us so much?"
"I'm afraid it's not us they want to deal with, but the great magician who came back from the dead." Looking back at the similarly blocked streets and alleys behind him, Xueling Huanbing took two steps forward. The location of the two people was completely brought to the middle of the deserted East City Gate Avenue: "Sadly, the great magician is now just the half-dead man behind me pretending to be... hello."
"Can you please bring out the max-level number among the max-level numbers?" She tilted her head: "Where is she now?"
"It should be in a very safe place." Duan Qing's weak voice was almost inaudible: "Anyway, just don't worry..."
"Hey, wake up." After shaking the opponent's head again, Xueling Huanbing finally gave up on shaking the unconscious opponent awake: "Forget it, according to what you said before, the worst possible outcome is death again. Just once..."
"After our Wind Eagle Tavern is reborn, I still have many questions to ask you." She put Duan Qing's body aside, and then raised her sword facing the Imperial soldiers in front and behind the street: "For example, how you invaded the NPC's body, and..."
"Why would you do such a thing?"
Her eyes gradually became cold and sharp. She focused her energy on the tip of her sword, which seemed to be ignoring the threats of countless imperial royal guards. Her body seemed to begin to erupt with a heart-stopping momentum. , as if some kind of evil spirit that once roamed this continent reappeared in front of everyone. The approaching footsteps paused for a moment, and the imperial guards who focused all their attention on one place seemed to be frightened for a moment by the aura emanating from the white-haired female swordsman in front of them, filled with roars. The shouts then appeared at the back of the street near one end of the city, and accompanied by the footsteps of a certain blond man leading people, he appeared in front of them: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"...It's you." In the scene where a group of imperial royal guards obeyed the order and gave way to a road, His Royal Highness Prince Chris gradually fell on Xue Ling Huan Bing with his crazy eyes: "Who do I know? It turns out you two are the ones causing trouble in such a public place!"
"..."
"Are those illusions created by you?"
In the silent atmosphere surrounded by countless swords, swords and shadows, the blond prince, who was standing aside everyone, slowly took two steps forward: "Did you hinder me and destroy my carefully planned... sabotage of the empire's sacred judgment?"
"...Feel free to guess." The eyes that were staring at him sank slightly from the dragon's tooth sword across his chest. A few sarcastic smiles gradually appeared in Xueling Huanbing's eyes: "Even if you kill us, it's impossible for you to find out the truth that even us adventurers don't understand."
"Bastard! Catch them alive!"
The bluestone bricks under his feet were chopped into several pieces with great anger, and there were a few crazy bloodshot eyes in the blond man's eyes: "You think you can escape my eyes? Don't. What a daydream! The secret actions of you and your companion have long been seen by me, the greatest prince in the empire! It was you who secretly colluded with third-party forces in the previous war, and then tried to take advantage of me. The plan was to kill me, right? You used the Adventurer Association to put pressure on me, took the opportunity to conspire with that Violet, and finally rescued her, right?"
"You knew the secret of the cocktail, but you didn't report it to me in the end. What on earth did you want to hide, to conceal the evidence of that criminal?" He pointed at Xue Ling Huan Bing's face, and the splash of saliva was still scraping across the block. The words kept flying in the wind: "You have never really cooperated with my careful plan, and you have even been against me everywhere. Now... you have also exposed your true intention of letting that criminal go!"
"It is you, the prince of the empire, who have exposed your true intentions." After a moment of silence, a heavy voice suddenly appeared in the wind blowing around the street, accompanied by someone who was covered in bandages. The warrior suddenly walked out of the imperial front line: "Today's trial is not a fair trial at all. You are trying to use your prestige to put the great magician to death in a dilemma, aren't you?"
"Lot!"
Calling out the man's name loudly, His Royal Highness pointed his finger at the back of the warrior who walked out of the formation: "You actually have the guts to appear in front of me? You are also their accomplice!"
"I do not know enough about their true identities, but I know that they are the most upright people." Lott put his sword on the ground with his backhand and turned around to block the figure of Xue Ling Huan Bing behind him: "They Have the courage to stand in front of everyone at the most dangerous time and seek justice for all the weak, instead of being like some people who angrily dump all their guilt and anger on others after suffering a minor injury!"
"What, what did you say?" His Royal Highness's voice became obviously angry: "How dare you accuse me? You are disrespectful to the prince of the empire! You are treason!"
"If everyone thinks that not cooperating with your actions and plans is considered a traitor, then you can say whatever you want. And..." Lott's heavy voice did not mean to back down at all: "The royal family of the Fleur Empire , at best, you can be regarded as a member of the top nobles of the empire, and the mistakes and crimes you have committed can also be pointed out."
"Although I don't want to admit it myself, I am also one of those damn nobles." After saying this, he moved his bandaged arms away from the hilt of the sword, and then waved at the prince in front of him. A not-so-standard imperial etiquette: "Therefore... pointing out your faults is not a crime, but a duty given to me by my status."
"You! Lott!" As if he understood that what the other party said was not a lie, His Royal Highness Prince Chris' whole body was trembling violently with extreme anger: "Don't think that you belong to the Gloria family, and I really I dare not do anything to you! Those accusations you made are simply nonsense and have no basis at all—"
"No, what he said still has some basis."
A heavy voice then appeared behind the imperial line near the city gate, accompanied by another group of imperial nobles who slowly walked in after lining up the royal guards: "Such as you are deep under the royal family. The suspicious character you have developed, and your cowardice that is completely unmatched by that meticulous plot."
"Who? Who else dares to--it's you?"
"Yes, we still arrived."
Among the group of imperial nobles who lined up in front of everyone one by one, a middle-aged man walking at the front slowly stroked his chest and saluted. Then, under the surprised gazes of the imperial guards and Xue Ling Huan Bing, A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The imperial noble group returning from the east came in violation of His Highness the Prince's order."
"We noticed the chaos in this city three days ago, so in the end we risked our lives to come over and have a look." Straightening up, the middle-aged man put his top hat on his head again. Above: "And I, the former nobleman of the empire, His Excellency Tristan Romilia, am willing to guarantee my identity and reputation."
"The targets of your anger and your subordinates' anger are all innocent good people." His eyes crossed Lot's body, and then fell on Xue Ling Huan Bing's face: "I wonder if His Highness can see that we obey Ordered to stay on the banks of the Gemenan River for a full twenty days..."
"How about you give us a little bit of face?"
*******************************
"...Hmm."
Duan Qing groaned involuntarily, and Duan Qing slowly opened his eyes. His mind was a little unclear due to the long coma. After a while, as his vision gradually became clearer, he separated the old ceiling and the ordinary magic chandelier. Incorporated into his own consciousness: "Where is this place?"
"Adventurers Association." The one who answered him was Xueling Huanbing, who had been waiting by his side with a joyful smile on his face: "Don't worry, we haven't been arrested yet."
"Speaking of which, we seemed to be running away before, right?" Duan Qing blinked his eyes, and the smile he couldn't help but smile became much clearer as the other person came closer: "What's the situation now? Already?"
"Now." Xue Ling Huanbing's smile slowly turned into a helpless sigh: "Now..."
"It's probably a time of struggle between the royal family and the imperial nobility."
