Xue Ling Huan Bing's words didn't seem to be a joke, and Duan Qing was really driven out of the small shabby house with Violet by this cold-faced woman, until the so-called Qing Ling After a busy day at the office, and even the dinner was exhausted, he was not allowed to enter the temporary base camp of the Qingling Adventure Group again. Passing through several doorways on the way, the strange eyes belonging to Asahi Dongsheng and Goldman also passed by the grey-robed man who was smiling wryly several times. Their eyes were on him and Vallie, who was also stagnant in place behind him. Te spun around several times, and finally his uncertain inquiries landed inside the shabby house where Duan Qing could not see: "I said... why didn't you let the two of them in?"
"Really? It's just that they don't want to come in. If you don't believe me, ask them."
"This, that's it, hahaha... By the way, that person should be Violet, right? Is she the one we have been escorting here before?"
"Yes or no - why don't you just ask him yourself?"
As if they felt the murderous intention revealed in the cold-faced woman's words, neither of them really went to Duan Qing to ask Duan Qing for the answer to the question as Xue Ling Huanbing said. They unanimously chose to shut up and sit back. The very pitiful-looking magician passed by the door, and at the same time, he did not forget to give him a look of concern for the poor man. The same situation continued until the early morning of the next day, when a new day began again. The members of the Qingling Adventure Group, who had tried their best to repair the dilapidated house, finally showed up with simple cleaning. He looked like he could barely welcome outsiders, but the lines of introduction were slightly changed: "Welcome to Qingling Adventure Office. We will serve every customer who comes with the best attitude. I am the team leader Xue Ling." Huan Bing is also the director of this firm."
"He is Asahi Dongsheng, a level 58... high-level warrior of our adventure group. He is not only good at combat and adventure, but also good at intelligence spying and trading."
"This is the shield bearer Gedman of our adventure group. He is also a high-level warrior. He is good at positional assault and street fighting. He is also very good at group operations and team command."
"This...this is our disciple."
Someone seemed to ask a certain question at the entrance of the shop that was gradually getting busier. Xue Ling Huan Bing answered this with a smile on her face. She looked at the direction of Duan Qing who was looking up and pretending to be stupid and blinked. With his own eyes, he tilted his head without any guilt and continued to introduce: "It means the gatekeeper."
"Hey, hey, don't go too far."
Having said these words in a high voice, Duan Qing, who was sitting on the side of the street, folded his arms and rolled his eyes: "Even if you don't care about my identity as a magician, my current abilities are better than what you see. It’s much bigger.”
"Oh? Really?" She turned her face away with a smile, and the smile on Xue Ling Huan Bing's face became more and more dangerous: "Then please explain to this guest why you have been squatting What's the reason for the door, Mr. Linyuan Duanshui?"
"..."
"And your level is still level zero."
Looking at the speechless face of the other party, Xue Ling Huan Bing's smile became even brighter: "Are you planning to use your zero-level strength to prove to this guest that you are worthy of the responsibility? What is the identity of a qualified adventurer?”
"...Okay, okay, I'm just a relative who comes here because of his reputation, okay?"
Hiding his expression again in the movement of turning around, Duan Qing said in a helpless tone as if he was giving up on himself: "I am a group of relatives and friends of the Qingling Adventure Group. I came from Novice Village to join the group because I have no level or strength. , now I have to do the work of looking after the gate here..."
"Help carry this big sword and look after the gate." The voice belonging to Chao Ri Dongsheng then remembered in his ears at an inappropriate time, and it was accompanied by his movements of pushing a heavy big sword over with a wink: "People Guests need to register, and their belongings will be stored at your place first."
"W-what? I'm not a carry-on storage facility!"
He used all his strength to pick up the big sword in his arms, and Duan Qing shouted loudly without losing his temper: "What kind of guests are you registering for? Do you think I really don't know what you are doing now?" At what point is it not done? You are not ready to officially start yet!"
"Oh, everyone is working hard for this office, so what's yours and mine." Asahi Dongsheng's figure had been submerged in an unknown place at this time: "As for whether it has officially started..."
"As long as you serve the guests here well, isn't it time for us to start?"
Looking at the last remaining image that was gradually being submerged by the crowd, Duan Qing, who stretched out his hand, reluctantly withdrew his voice. As the number of guests coming and going gradually increased, they slowly took up the space. The street where the dilapidated hut is located. Perhaps because yesterday's incident brought a more powerful influence, these guests seemed to be more enthusiastic about visiting than yesterday, and this also made Duan Qing, who originally wanted to continue to protest, become more enthusiastic about visiting. , retracting his hands in a snap: "Hey, for the sake of outsiders, I, the first generation member of Qingling Adventure Group and the first founder of Qingling Everything House, will not care about you for now."
A pair of white hands then reached into Duan Qing's arms and slowly took the heavy sword over. Duan Qing, who noticed this abnormality, stopped talking and looked at it with surprised eyes. Follow Violet who came forward: "You——"
"It seems that I have caused you a lot of trouble."
Smiling and shaking her head, the purple-haired woman still wearing a black cloak leaned forward and said quietly: "Since I am the one who has caused you all this trouble, let me help you a little."
"No, no, no, please don't say that." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hands and denied: "They are just, uh... they are just joking, just joking. They don't really want to target you, and they also target you by the way. Got me..."
"Okay, okay, I know."
Smiling and nodding her head, Violet did not show any of the pride or indignation that belonged to the great magician: "It's just because you brought me, a 'wild woman', back to you, so she was a little angry. Right? I admit that my beauty and charm are indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary people, and I will also wait for her to get rid of her sourness..."
I'm just afraid that when others come, this sour feeling will become even more severe.
Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Duan Qing, who kept a smile on his face, sighed and replied: "No, it's not your fault. I will explain it to her properly after the matter here comes to an end."
"No need, that's fine."
Weighing the weight of the big sword slightly in her hand, Violet seemed to feel very relaxed and turned her head with a smile: "My purpose is just to stay by your side, and it has nothing to do with other people's attitudes. , even if there are more people who are jealous of me than there are people in this city, this decision will not change in any way."
"Besides, seeing more exciting stories is one of the reasons why I follow you, isn't it?" She turned around with her sword in her arms, looking at Duan Qing's face with mature and playful eyes. Face: "Looking at it now, the life around you is indeed as wonderful as I imagined."
[Contract mission: For this more exciting world, completed. 】
[Violet’s reputation has been upgraded to closeness. 】
[Violet chooses to become a follower. 】
[The hidden condition check is completed and the contract is successful. 】
The timely system prompt sounded in Duan Qing's ears, and his eyes gradually widened around the purple-haired woman: "Contract, the contract was successful? Why haven't I heard about it before? Pass--"
"Ah, of course you can also regard this as a contract." Violet seemed not to notice the prompts from the system and replied with a smile: "As a member of the magicians, of course we pay attention to the contract between us. Spirit, since you have shown me the side I want to see, I will definitely agree to this agreement between us, right?"
So that’s how it works.
Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Duan Qing, who reacted quickly, could only put on an expression of agreement: "This, that's it, then I really want it."
"Oh? It seems that you have seen the follower contract before."
After looking up and down Duan Qing's body, Violet's eyes began to be full of curiosity: "Let me guess...since you know Luo Asong and know the origin of the Sky City, you must have also been there. Is there any contractual relationship with the ancient magic relics there, right?"
"When you say that, there really is such a person." Duan Qing scratched his head: "But that happened in my last life, and now I don't know if that guy who can't even speak fully is still alive. Alive, where exactly are you now..."
"Wow--"
The cry of the child then broke the conversation between the two people, and was accompanied by the scene of a crying little boy being forced over by Gedman, as if the shield was already too busy. The soldier did not notice the conversation between Duan Qing and the purple-haired woman at this time. Instead, he wiped the sweat on his head vigorously: "I leave this commission to you."
"What, what kind of commission?"
"Help take care of this kid."
Pointing to the little boy who was still crying in Duan Qing's arms, Goldman shook off his hand with relief: "I'm not good at this, but who told us that we are now in the early stages of development? Since we have money, we can If you can’t make money, then you still have to reluctantly carry out such a commission..."
"So why did you give him to me?"
Looking at the opponent's back as he returned to the broken house without looking back, Duan Qing, who was at a loss what to do, shouted desperately: "You are not good at it, so I am good at it? Do you really think I can do everything? Don't forget it's you You asked me to be a janitor here, and now you want me to be a nanny? Hey! Hey—"
"……well."
Like a distress signal from the center of the sea, Duan Qing, who received no response at all, finally retracted his outstretched hand. The endless cries then wrapped around him through his hearing like an iron chain threatening his life. In my mind: "Don't, don't cry, okay? Can uncle take you out to play? You, what do you want, you should say it first."
"What a desperate morning." The hands that had produced countless bottles of miracle potion waved back and forth for a while, but he finally slumped his shoulders under the result that the little boy did not stop at all: "No, Duan Qing, you want to Calm down, since it is a task recognized and delivered by the system, it should naturally be solved using a systematic method..."
The radiance of magic then appeared in front of him, interrupting his newly active thoughts along with the child's crying. The figure belonging to Violet was also followed by her expressionless face, Waving a white ball of light that kept swaying back and forth, it flashed in front of the little boy: "Is this magic?"
"..."
"Sister, are you a magician?"
Seemingly dissatisfied with the result of the other party not answering, the little boy broke free from Duan Qing's hands and threw himself in front of Violet and continued to ask: "What is this? Is this magic? Did you use it, big sister? Can you teach me?"
"..."
Still not answering the other party's question, Violet, who remained silent, moved the stable ball of light emitting all kinds of magical light to the side, and then slowly amidst the increasingly surprised voice of the boy who had forgotten to cry. It slowly sank into the surface of the big sword she had thrown on the ground before. A more obvious oscillation then echoed in the air on the street, accompanied by the strange sight of the big sword gradually floating with a faint light, and Duan Qing, who looked at this scene, also grew long. He sighed and looked away from the little boy who was no longer crying and clinging to Violet: "As expected of a great magician, his actions are different."
"With such help, your journey in the future will definitely become easier."
The voice belonging to Xueling Huanbing then sounded behind him, and at the same time, she walked slowly towards him: "A great magician who has restored his mind and memory, and has great trust in you - this time She is your biggest gain from your trip to the imperial capital."
"Don't be so open-minded. This is our biggest gain."
Duan Qing, who shook his head and crossed his arms, then retreated to Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Didn't you see that she also took off her disguise in front of you? She must be the strange person from before. Change the night, you have gained her trust with every move you make. Don’t worry, who of us will follow whom? When the time comes, I will let her play with you for two days, and let you feel the power of the great magician... Well Wow!"
The sound of pain came from Duan Qing's mouth, and he twisted back all the words he wanted to say. As the culprit, Xueling Huanbing also withdrew his fingers that twisted the soft flesh of the opponent's waist, and at the same time, he He bit his silver teeth in displeasure: "Who is cheating on you? I just... I just..."
"Just wait, I will definitely be stronger than her."
She stepped on Duan Qing's body bitterly and declared loudly to him at the same time. 8)
