"I knew you would come."
Some time later, in the alley wall, in the middle of the martial arts arena where various wooden weapons and armors were placed, the burly figure belonging to Cangyun Barrier heavily put down the shield he was using for training, and his gray face, full of vicissitudes of life, also He turned around and faced Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing who appeared here: "Counting the time, nearly a month has passed since the incident in Tanzania City."
"According to the normal itinerary, you should have arrived at the Imperial Capital long ago." He sat down on a small wooden bench opposite the two of them, slapping his knees with a few drops of blood from the previous training. Sweat: "What were you doing on the road?"
"I didn't waste much time on the way. I just stopped by the Castle of Thebilis." As if he had recovered from the previous abnormality, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a low voice: "It's you - you Lanshan is actually so concerned about our whereabouts?"
"After all, we have a cooperative relationship." After two deafening laughs, the president of Lanshan pointed around the white-haired woman: "Although the Miss Lou who is negotiating with us is not there now. By your side, but since you chose to hide here at this time, you should have already learned from her the conditions for cooperation with us, right?"
"I don't know much about this."
Duan Qing, who touched his nose and caught the other person's eyes, replied awkwardly: "After all, she is very busy and has not joined us in the Imperial Capital until now, and we ran to your residence in Lanshan. , I just want to stay here for a while..."
"Borrowing?" Cangyun Barrier stared in disbelief: "Come to our Lanshan to borrow? Did your heads get accidentally squeezed by the tumor shield I just used?"
"I know that the guild's residence generally does not allow outsiders to stay, let alone a place like the martial arts field." Duan Qing smiled dryly and pointed to the door: "God knows you actually built the martial arts field on Nobilit Street. In the center, and next to the former Roland family——"
"Ha, don't mention this." Waving his hand, the burly man directly answered the question Duan Qing wanted to ask in a roundabout way: "I grabbed this golden territory from the Wings of Freedom. , I originally took a fancy to this huge advantage facing the Roland family, but in the end... hum!"
"Now that I think about it, labor and management have been manipulated by the Wings of Freedom again."
He grinded his teeth and showed a stern look in his eyes: "Don't give labor and management a chance, otherwise sooner or later Lanshan will have to settle this debt on them again."
"What did Wings of Freedom do to you?" Xue Ling Huan Bing closed her eyes somewhat unnaturally and continued to ask in a low voice, "What does this have to do with the Roland family?"
"You don't know? Okay." There was some confusion in the fierce look, Cangyun Barrier curled his lips: "Counting the time when you went crazy for no reason, it is indeed possible that you don't know... No , No, this matter should have been planned a long time ago, or the Wings of Freedom have long known the inside story."
"The Roland family is no longer here." His voice paused, and his mood gradually became more vicissitudes of life: "They moved to other places."
"When exactly did it happen?"
"Probably not long after we were stationed here, this matter has become a foregone conclusion."
His gaze passed over the heads of the two people, and Cangyun Barrier's fingers began to tap slightly: "At that time, we visited them several times, but they pushed us back because the head of the family was away. At that time, we still We thought it was the nobility and reserve inherent in the founding fathers of the Roland family, but we later found out—"
"There is only an empty shell left there." His fingers also fell in the direction he was looking at, and the violent momentum seemed to smash the open space separated by a few walls into pieces: "How many big The nobles jointly accused the Roland family of crimes, claiming to deprive their family of their titles and official positions. Considering the status of the Roland family, His Majesty the Emperor delayed the matter for a long time, but in the end he nodded in agreement. "
"His Majesty the Emperor simply agreed?" Duan Qing raised his head in surprise: "What crime?"
"Betrayal of the Empire."
"What? Real or fake?"
With these four sounds like bells echoing in his ears, Duan Qing jumped up in disbelief: "Is that the one who is pretending to be a traveling businessman...the head of the famous Roland family? Isn't it possible that no one has spoken out? Do you question the veracity of this allegation?”
"Of course, there are many elders of the empire who have come forward to clarify this matter." Cangyun Barrier's gaze shifted to Duan Qing: "But no matter how many arguments are made, it will have no effect, because no matter how they intercede - —”
"The head of the Roland family will not be here either."
He sighed deeply: "Since the person involved has no intention of returning to the country to resist, no matter how many voices intercede on behalf of others, it will have no meaning."
As these words fell, an indescribable silence spread around the martial arts field, which seemed to represent the reactions that Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing, who still could not accept the result, should make, until they appeared in the martial arts field. When the sounds of players from Arashiyama moving weapon racks and armor racks around the field could be heard, the voice of the gray-robed magician among them sounded again: "The head of the Roland family...she just He’s just been traveling outside and has no intention of betrayal at all.”
"Oh? It sounds like you are very familiar with the head of the Roland family?" The president of Lanshan raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever seen the head of the Shenlong family who never saw the end of the family?"
"Uh, no." Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Duan Qing hurriedly showed a dry smile and said: "I just heard some rumors accidentally during the past game time... What happens after that? The Roland family will Have you disappeared like this?"
"Of course." Without any intention of continuing to pester the other party, Cangyun Barrier, who had clasped his hands, replied in a low voice: "At least there is no place for them in the imperial capital. There is no way of knowing where they moved later. This piece of land stands tall in Nuo. The Feng Shui treasure on Billit Street has now become a dangerous place that no one cares about... ugh."
"When the Wings of Freedom handed over this land to us, they must have known about the Roland family's imminent disappearance." At this point, he let out a heavy cold snort: "Maybe the Roland family will be brought down. They are secretly promoting the work of the altar.”
"What are the benefits of pulling the Roland family down?" Xue Ling Huanbing asked expressionlessly: "Is it just to devalue this land and disgust you for this small purpose of selecting the location for the guild's residence? ?"
"Shouldn't you ask yourself this kind of question?" Cang Yun Barrier's questioning gaze fell on Xue Ling Huan Bing: "How did you operate in the center, and for what purpose in the end - you were still in Wings of Freedom at that time You should know better than outsiders like us, right?"
"..."
His eyebrows lowered again. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who seemed unwilling to mention these things, just remained silent and lost his voice. Duan Qing, who understood the reason, also let out two dry laughs to ease the atmosphere. He then took up the unfinished topic: "Although I don't know what you are talking about, these things have already passed. Now that the Wings of Freedom have left the empire, it is not suitable to mention it again... "
"Sorry to interrupt your speech, but... who are you?" Raising one of his arms, Cangyun Barrier's eyes fell on Duan Qing again: "Not only are we acting together with this dark witch, And he’s also hanging out with Miss Lou... Before I allow you to continue talking here, can you introduce yourself first?"
"I, I am Linyuan Duanshui, the current adventure group and the captain of the adventure team." Duan Qing rubbed his nose and replied: "I am very happy to be able to cooperate with these well-known beauties, and I am also very happy to be able to use their I know the big boss in Lanshan...uh."
The sound of breaking through the air then came from in front of Duan Qing, and along with it was the sight of the two heavy wooden shields that had been thrown to the ground by Cangyun Barrier and were instantly picked up by him again. I don't know when they crossed in front of him. The tip of the shield then blew the strong airflow it brought over Duan Qing's head, suppressing all the words he wanted to continue to perfunctory: "If you know that I am Han Sanshi, the president of Lanshan, you will You shouldn’t say such things, not only because I personally don’t like beating around the bush, but also because I am sitting here, sitting on the throne of the guild president who is still among the top five in the league.”
"If you can't get your due status and identity, I will ask you two to leave." In the scene where the deafening voice gradually decreased, the eyes belonging to Han Sanshi came across from the surface of the giant shield: "I gave you before You spend so much time just because I am slightly interested in the fate of this dark witch."
"Okay, okay." Cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead, and Duan Qing's dry smile almost squeezed his eyes into slits: "Compared to the famous Lanshan, our small adventure group His name is indeed not worth mentioning, but even if I can’t come up with any identity worth mentioning, we can still get the corresponding bargaining chips.”
"Chips?"
"We broke into your martial arts arena to avoid being pursued by the Wings of Freedom - yes, you heard that right, it's the Wings of Freedom."
Pointing to the direction he came from, Duan Qing turned towards Cangyun Barrier and smiled: "According to what my companion said, that guy named Liangchen Meiyu is currently searching for us in the city."
"Liangchen Meiyu... the ruthless person who pushed Free Flying away and became the president of the guild?" The shield in his hand was still not put down. Cangyun Barrier's voice was slightly raised: "He is actually back too?"
"We don't know much about the changes that have taken place within the Wings of Freedom, but their current position should not be changed." Duan Qing hurriedly nodded his head: "Returning to Redcar at this time, and still Strutting about in the streets... Don’t you have any interest in their purpose?”
"So what if I am interested in these things?" Cangyun Barrier's eyes became more ruthless: "Even if they want to kill you two, or kill your whole family, what does it have to do with us? relation?"
"Hey, have you forgotten the cooperative relationship between us?" Duan Qing raised his hands and argued: "You should have heard of the trials that just happened in the palace a few days ago, right?"
"Of course I've heard of it. That was originally part of our cooperation." Cangyun Barrier, who stared at the other party for a moment and held up the training shield, leaned forward slightly: "I don't know how late I am. It's a miracle in itself that you were able to escape from those nobles who had long wanted to kill you."
"Yes, this is the bargaining chip I'm talking about." He made an exaggerated gesture toward the opponent. Duan Qing, who was still under the threat of the shield, turned around and pulled Villie, who had been standing behind him, over: "Do you want to know the reason why His Majesty the Emperor spared us? Do you want to know what Wings of Freedom wants?"
"She is."
The shy smile turned into a calm smile, and he pushed Violet in front of the two people.
*************************************
"Phew, I finally stayed."
The air around him became quiet as the people left. The gray-robed figure belonging to Duan Qing then quietly closed the small door in front of him. He looked around at the piles of wooden weapons and armor shelves around him. , and finally showed a difficult smile to the Snow Spirit Huan Bing next to him: "Although Violet's face was betrayed for this, at least we have solved the safety problem."
"..."
"You feel better?"
Looking at the white-haired woman huddled in the corner of the small cargo room, he walked forward and squatted down with a worried look on his face: "Why did it suddenly happen? Did you have a premonition of something in advance?"
"That guy... he must still be using the same methods as before."
The depressed figure sitting in the corner reacted a little, but this reaction obviously contained a bit of gritted teeth: "I am very familiar with that feeling, it is an... irresistible feeling."
"Okay, I know that your mental power is very strong." Duan Qing sighed helplessly, and comforted the other person with his hand to touch: "If the mental power of the brain is over-exploited, it will indeed produce many similar sequelae. Same effect..."
"Is this effect incurable?" Looking up at Duan Qing's face, panic gradually appeared in Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes: "Am I going to always be shrouded in his shadow?"
"As long as you have perseverance, even diseases that cause mental dependence can be cured." Staring closely into the other person's eyes, Duan Qing grabbed the other person's shoulder with force: "Everything is just difficult at the beginning. You must have confidence in yourself and understand ?"
"I will help you." He shook the woman's body as if in a trance, and at the same time motioned to Violet's motionless figure behind him: "Even that guy with a lack of personality has improved a bit. Already..."
"What do your questions mean?"
