Duan Qing actually never took Xue Ling Huan Bing's words to heart, because he always understood in his heart the reason why this woman was suddenly so indifferent to him - she was brought back to his own territory to be so indifferent. She is a different kind of person of the same sex, and is also a competitor with superior strength and beauty. Even if she has faced "love rivals" like Xu Yu Liushang, she will inevitably have a little sense of crisis in her heart.
Although in the eyes of the gray-robed magician, the gatekeeper job at this time seemed to be good.
"Sir, your items... although today is the first time we have opened, I still want to remind you that our storage here is not free. After all, it is manual storage, and it will still cost a lot of time and energy."
"Ah, beautiful lady, you look like a noble person from a well-known family. Please wait a moment. Our last guest's visit will be over soon. Before that - well, why don't you listen to me and my followers? How about a song for me? She sings nursery rhymes like "Little Star" very well."
"No explanation? Sorry, although we are just following the footsteps of the original Adventurers Association, it is really our mistake not to follow the corresponding explanation. However... there is no written explanation, so it is okay to explain it to you directly. If there is anything you need to know or are unclear about, just ask me."
"Sir, please don't mess around here. If you continue to disturb the order of other guests here, I, a member of the family, will - oops!"
A tragic sound then appeared at the door of this broken house, attracting the attention of all the guests who were crowded here. A man wearing heavy armor and carrying a handheld weapon had already knocked Duan Qing to the ground with one punch. The axe-chopping player then appeared at the door there, looking down at the frail-looking magician lying on the ground with contempt: "A zero-level fool who hasn't even left the Novice Village... How dare you stand in front of me without checking how much you weigh?"
"You, who are you?"
"Who am I? Do you have the right to ask me such a question?"
Looking sideways at Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman, who then ran out to challenge, the expression on the player's face became even more disdainful: "He ran to the imperial capital without the consent of our Noxus." If the local government is causing trouble, why should we use the name of the firm? Where do you put the face of our chamber of commerce?"
"Come together?" Gedman, who looked at each other and blocked the guests who were fleeing in panic, took the lead in asking a tentative question: "I'm sorry, but business and other things are originally done by everyone, right? No. Is it necessary to use such despicable means?"
"Methods? You are a weak group that can't even form a team. It's not our turn to use any methods."
Pointing to the figure of the gray-robed man who was still lying on the ground, the heavily armored and seemingly high-level player's laughter became even louder: "I'm just passing by here this time, by the way. I just want to teach you people who don’t know the heights of the world a little lesson, otherwise you really think of yourself as the heir of the Adventurers Association and take over the whole city’s business?”
"We naturally don't dare to say anything like taking over the business of the whole city."
As if he no longer intended to listen to what the other party said, the figure in gray robe who had been lying on the ground suddenly slowly got up: "But... no matter how weak we are, it seems that it is not your turn to Noxus." Let’s talk about it in person?”
"By the way, your Chamber of Commerce has actually started recruiting players?"
Wiping the scratches and bruises on the corner of his mouth that had just been exposed after being punched, Duan Qing grinned with a fierce smile: "Or some of you have already identified with that person who likes to form gangs and do evil in secret. The Chamber of Commerce’s way of survival, so it started organizing an adventurer’s front on its own?”
"You, why do you care so much?"
Lifting the ax in his hand in front of Duan Qing, the heavily armored player started to threaten again and raised his voice: "So what if we are following the Noxian people? Is it possible that you are still a group of weaklings? of?"
"Since I am from that chamber of commerce, I have to say something."
Duan Qing staggered to the opposite side of the axe. Duan Qing, who was pressing his cheek, had an inexplicable cold look in his eyes: "Your intelligence work is really bad. You didn't do any inquiring before you came here to cause damage? Yesterday? The people who came over to paint us when we first opened were much higher level and stronger than you."
"Humph, isn't it just Lan - you, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Oh? It seems like you have done your homework."
After looking up and down the face of the troublemaker who involuntarily took two steps back, Duan Qing smiled and nodded his head: "Just passing by? Want to teach us a lesson? I said I didn't make enough preparations. Those How can someone who can't see how successful we are going to be so stupid as to send such a cannon fodder here?"
"Don't be too smug, I'm just a zero-level player!" The player named Guiyou Zidai raised the weapon in his hand angrily: "I'm going to make a big fuss here today and beat you for your arrogance! What, are you not convinced? If you have the guts, just fight back!"
"...It seems that they are sure that we don't dare to do anything here."
A low voice came from behind Duan Qing, accompanied by the cautious eyes of Gedman, who came forward and looked around: "Although it is unlikely, we still have to be careful, just in case they If they secretly notify the city guards or a certain noble, and then demolish our office on charges of disturbing order, provoking troubles, etc..."
"Our reputation is ruined, right?"
Understanding what the other party wanted to say, Duan Qing shook his head and replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Things like fighting and vandalism may have an impact on ordinary chambers of commerce, but we are not an ordinary chamber of commerce. Adventure groups and master houses, things like combat power indicators——"
"On the contrary, it is our specialty."
He stretched out his hand forward, and his fingers gradually came to rest on the face of the player who came to ask for trouble. Then, a purple magic circle appeared on his head like a brilliant violet flower out of thin air, and before he could react, He was suddenly enveloped in it. The hum of energy then appeared in front of everyone as the space magic fully unfolded, dyeing the walls of the entire street a dazzling purple-red, and the player who was completely wrapped in it The words that were shouted later were also covered up by the surging sounds of the elements that gradually became harsh, and were replaced by bright red blood stains that bloomed at the same time as the purple flowers: "...Thousand-wheel formation, rune explosion."
"This effect should be shocking enough, right?"
The low whispers that only Duan Qing could hear then sounded in his ears, drawing his attention away from the flowers of blood that were also shocked: "Or I can choose to pierce him with the crystal sword. heart, cutting his body into neat pieces - this approach should have similar deterrent effect."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my whole person was blown into dust." Duan Qing muttered to himself and replied in a low voice: "Can you not use such an anti-human execution method next time? Or tell me in advance so that I can Just be mentally prepared."
"What a strange person. Where have the courage and determination gone when you were my enemy?" The mature and low charming laughter then sounded in his ears, and then accompanied by Violet's words. Gradually it became silent: "But it doesn't matter. Since you don't like this approach, I will be a little more restrained next time."
As if sensing something, Duan Qing then turned his head in a certain direction behind him. A certain purple-haired woman in a black cloak at the end of that direction quietly put away the magic radiance in her hand, and at the same time He drew the attention of the little boy next to him back to his magic-like movements. The purple magic circle mixed with blood-red powder then turned into flying smoke and dust under the sunlight, returning the blank block to the eyes of other passers-by and visitors, as if nothing had ever happened. They then put away their frightened gazes and glanced at Duan Qing who was smiling wryly: "...Okay, now we can really show our signature."
"Please go back and enjoy our services."
Duan Qing, who gestured to the eyes around him and put away his salute, then shook his head towards Gedman behind him: "It doesn't matter, isn't this just right?"
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be really suitable for the job of Menban."
With the same wry smile, Goldman then pulled Asahi Dongsheng, who was also walking back into the house, and waved his hand: "Although this method is a bit too violent, the effect is immediate."
"Don't let down my efforts." Duan Qing also returned to the door of the broken house he was guarding: "If you can't take this opportunity to make two more orders..."
"I can't spare you."
Perhaps what Duan Qing said was fulfilled, the number of players and empire residents from around the imperial capital seemed to increase as the news of this scene spread like wildfire, and even by March 796 of the New Calendar At noon on the 5th, when the sun had reached its highest point, this originally abandoned neighborhood became overcrowded again. Duan Qing gave up the work of maintaining order as if giving up on himself. Duan Qing took a few steps back and then vigorously wiped the sweat on his forehead. His helpless eyes looked back and forth in front of the crowded group of visitors for a long time before finally settling down. Violet, who had already returned to the side, said: "No, even if the business is booming, with so many people coming to visit at the same time, our office cannot operate at all."
"To be precise, you are short of manpower." Violet smiled and replied in a low voice: "If this were in my Violet Tower, I could use alchemy magic or the like to create some magic for you. I’m a helper, but under this condition——”
"No, no, no, that's not eye-catching enough."
Hastily waving his hands, Duan Qing then stopped the great magician from this seemingly useful idea: "Before you were judged, your Violet Tower had already become a battleground for many adventurers. I don’t want it to be a target for robbery. I don’t want this place to be filled with all kinds of magical creations and become a place for others to come and snatch treasures.”
"Oh, really? That's really regrettable." Violet lowered her head slightly, and her voice became even deeper: "I thought the people from the Mages Council would go to receive me first. That tower, I didn’t expect..."
"Why, do you feel sorry for your former magic tower?"
Sensing the disappointment in the other party's tone, Duan Qing turned around and asked quietly: "Do you regret the treasures in the tower? Or are you the magicians who are still loyal to you and remain in the tower?"
"They naturally have their own destiny, just like me now." Shaking her head slightly, Violet's voice returned to its former indifference again: "Treasures and apprentices will be slow in the future. It’s a shame, I’m just regretting the research I’ve done.”
"I did find a diary the only time I entered the tower."
Standing in front of him in silence for a while, Duan Qing then held his chin and put on a recalling look: "It should be the one left by Sherman, whom you value most. He mentioned something about you in that diary. research and how to use your research to secretly cooperate with the Magic Empire...so you don’t have to blame yourself for your actions, those are not your fault."
"...Heh, Sherman."
An inexplicable light flashed in her eyes, and Violet, who was stunned for a moment, then let out a deep sigh: "What a fate, I didn't expect that the final reason would appear in his body... But This is good, at least it frees me from the study of alchemy."
"You who were able to decipher the secret of the alchemy potion now seem to be a good magician." She blinked her eyes and tried hard to pull herself out of the sadness: "How is it? ?Are you interested in being my apprentice?"
"I'm not bragging. There have been too many people wanting to take me on as a disciple during this period." Duan Qing replied in a low voice without caring: "If that old man Wiggins hadn't come to my hometown to block me. door, I won’t fall into his hands in the end.”
"Wiggins...that guy has always been a mysterious person."
Putting away the smile on her face, Violet turned to look at Duan Qing's face: "But now that I think about it, that guy predicts some unpredictable things in advance every time, thus outperforming anyone else." They were all prepared in advance—could he be a destiny weaver?"
"Well...well."
The words that wanted to answer suddenly stopped, and were replaced by Duan Qing's gaze suddenly staring forward. A black-clothed scholar who came with two subordinates also passed through the crowds of people crowding around the street, and slowly Slowly walked up to Duan Qing and the two of them: "I wanted to come back for a visit in two days, but I didn't expect that the business here would reach a boom so quickly."
"Your luck seems to have always been very good, Brother Mo." 8)
