Just like the constant heavy rain in the sky above our heads, the situation in Tallan Village did not change much because of the appearance of Duan Qing and his party. The intelligence from the principality showed that there were only a few more reports at this time. It was just a report to remind the investigation team of the increase in the number of people, and the due attention in the subsequent time has not been shown in the report at this time. Walking along the long road in the rain-covered town, the members of the Qingling Adventure Group only received generally hostile looks from the soldiers and people of the Principality. Having been baptized by the fortress, they were naturally immune. This kind of torture comes from the atmosphere, and he is looking at all the parts of this town full of principality characteristics: "This should be one of the towns closer to the fortress in the Taron Plain, so the garrisoned principality troops are still strong. It’s quite a lot, but in normal times, this place is still a good place for adventurers to gather.”
"That's right, the wild wolves around are probably only at a dozen levels. The Talon Forest in the south has a simple structure and is very difficult to hunt. As long as players are adapted to this world, they can easily deal with it..."
"I'm talking about you two, how come you are so familiar with this place? Are you two from the principality before?"
"Of course, so is Ninglan. We were all from the principality in the early days. Although we haven't been here very often, we are more or less familiar with the simple building in front of us."
Looking at one of the principality's houses that he just passed by, Duan Qing smiled slightly: "Although we are members of the empire now."
"This situation is considered normal."
Shaking his head, Goldman on the side then smiled as if comforting: "In the past virtual reality world, there were always various camps for players to choose from, and apostasy was also common. Sometimes, even on the Free Continent, there are things like players and guilds dragging their families and families to defect to the enemy country."
"It's just that as the conflicts between the two countries become more acute, this confrontation has also intensified." Asahi Dongsheng on the side also showed a disdainful expression: "Hey, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you want to fight, just hurry up. Fight, I have never been afraid of you people from the principality - uhhhhh!"
"Shut up if you don't want to get beaten."
Reaching out to cover the other person's mouth, Duan Qing's eyes then scanned the many hostile glances from around him: "Whether it is geographical location or public opinion, we are now at an absolute disadvantage."
"Yes, if you want to reverse this passive situation, you can only find a way to open a breakthrough." Holding his chin and shaking his head, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes then fell on the northern sky where Duan Qing was watching. : "I've been beaten so much, but now I don't even know the reason for the beating..."
"Isn't it a little too outrageous?"
She put her hands on her hips, turned around and spoke in a calm voice to the people around her. Her long white hair was then revealed a little along with her beautiful face full of iceberg temperament, embellishing the image of this woman. The feeling of a leader. While the surrounding players were looking at each other, Duan Qing was the first to cover the opponent's face under the hood of the cloak with a wry smile. He waved to the other people who didn't know what he was talking about, and then led them along the way. Walking forward again on the muddy road: "Okay, there are no methods and goals."
"Since everyone is a player, we can naturally start from the player side." He pointed to the top of his head: "Has any of you been offline in the past few days? Have you found any news?"
"I have read the sections of the Principality and the major guilds. There is only news about the negotiations between the Principality and the Empire. The specific content of the negotiations was not mentioned at all." Asahi Dongsheng heard this and spread his hands: "As for those who are idle Players... They incite others to fight against the principality on the forum every day, and they have no interest in fighting."
"If we want to lift the bar, we must at least have a bar that can be used to lift the bar." Duan Qing wiped his wet cheeks and rubbed his chin: "Since it's airtight outside, then just We can start with the people inside.”
"Are you referring to the guy codenamed Aqiang?" Pointing to the small town hall that loomed in the rain at the end of the road they came from, Chao Ri Dongsheng asked in a mysterious voice: "Do you know him? What is he? backing?"
"The background is not that big. At most, he is just the president of a relatively well-known small guild affiliated with the principality." Duan Qing waved his hand: "As for whether he knows anyone -"
"It can be regarded as a life-long friendship." He looked around him: "Of course, there are not many people who have had friendship who are still here. At most, there is Ninglan who once lived in a certain place in Tania. I fought with him over the course of a night..."
"It seems that this fateful friendship has really passed a fate." Gedman, who had some realization, showed a familiar low smile: "What was the result at that time?"
"Of course I'll chop it off." Duan Qing nodded and sighed as he looked at Anyu Ninglan's smiling eyes.
"Cut it down? Ha." So Chao Ri Dongsheng rolled his eyes with disdain: "Then what's there to be afraid of? I thought he could have the strength of Jianghu."
"I've come into contact with more top guilds, so it's starting to become a bit bloated?" Duan Qing looked at the other party with squinted eyes: "Let's not talk about whether he has grown during this time. We are not looking for him to kill him, but I want to get information."
"With the current situation and our status, the possibility of asking for information is extremely low." Xue Ling Huan Bing also picked up his chin and shook his head: "We have to think of other ways to get close to him."
"Are there any acquaintances you know?" Asahi Dongsheng looked around: "Aren't you people from the principality? Just ask one of them and that's it? Or let them approach the person named Aqiang on our behalf..."
"Of course this exists."
After a slight pause, Duan Qing's eyes fell on the hazy rain curtain in the far northeast: "I just don't know if they are still active in Tanya... By the way."
"How about asking Maggie to contact her? She should be one of the local snakes there." As if he remembered something, he looked back and forth among the sparse people around him: "Where is she?"
"Forget it, we haven't seen her since we came here." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied helplessly: "I don't know when she started disappearing again..."
"She went in the direction of Tania."
A mature and deep female voice then sounded in the ears of several people, accompanied by a figure of a purple-haired woman wearing the same black cloak walking slowly: "Look at her worried look. It seems like he just made up his mind to set off."
"Violet?" Duan Qing made a surprised sound: "Why did you come out? Your injury——"
"My injury is not an injury, nor is it a problem that can be solved by simply resting." The corners of her mouth raised a little, and Violet's eyes stayed for a moment on her arm hidden under the cloak: "You guys put me There's not much point in staying there. Apart from facing those infuriating looks, there's only nowhere to kill the time."
"What about Yun Meng? Isn't he with you?" Duan Qing stretched his head and looked behind Violet, and his eyes became ugly: "He couldn't have run away too, right? ?”
"That guy was quite polite to me." Shaking her head, Violet's eyes became strange: "Well...it would be better to say that the guy's attentiveness to me seems to have become more obvious. ? Is this what you adventurers do when you ask for help?"
"Well, it's probably just his habit." The expression on his face became a little weird. Duan Qing smiled and dismissed the topic: "Of course, as long as a magician has seen your true ability, he will know it more or less. To have a reaction like his..."
"Apart from you, I have no plans to continue recruiting disciples for the time being." Violet shook her head indifferently: "And I don't have that much time. I haven't started building the magic formation in this place yet. Woolen cloth."
"That's right, that's it!" As if he finally remembered the key point of the problem, Asahi Dongsheng on the side quickly raised his finger: "It's that surveillance thing of yours - if we can have them, Can we get any information we want?"
"Although I don't know what you are talking about, establishing a magic formation is not a simple matter." Violet looked at the giant axe warrior with a cold face: "And -"
"I'm not the only magician in this town. If I want to build a violet magic circle without authorization... I'm afraid the other party won't agree."
As she said these words, she looked at the street at the far end of the town where several people were with incomprehensible eyes. An old man in a black dress and an umbrella on his head followed behind him. With help, he turned his head and slowly disappeared towards the depths of the path that no one could see.
*********************************
"Down, keep going down... Stop right here. Use gentle force. Problems often occur in the movement of energy at this connection point, so the place where you stop writing is particularly important - well, just so-so, so Judging from the results of the first drawing, your writing skills are already very standard."
"Next, from here to here, be careful to bypass the node in the middle, otherwise the magic will flow..."
"Wait a minute, stop now. Have you seen that stone? It is not an ordinary stone, but the Usulik opal. If this existence is not discovered, the final operation will definitely be affected."
"Here, put it at the junction of the south and the north. Don't put it in the direction of eleven o'clock yet. That is the base point of the clock rotation, which is the switch of this magic circle - okay."
"The construction and formation of a magic circle is almost like this."
Slowly lifting up the powder-covered pen in his hand, Duan Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at the simple magic graphics outlined on the ground with lines and gems in front of him. , and then the reminder voice belonging to Violet gradually closed in his ears: "The gems wasted this time are regarded as teaching materials, and you will have to provide them yourself next time."
"Hey, aren't we drawing your magic circle?" Duan Qing hurriedly protested: "Am I also responsible for this?"
"You have to understand one thing - no matter how much I help you, the magic circle you drew cannot become part of my position." Pointing to the magic circle outlined by the colorful lines in front of Duan Qing , Violet's expression still maintained the unique majesty of her mentor: "This is not only because the magic circle you drew is too rough, but also because this magic circle was constructed using your magic power. , simply doesn’t meet the standards I want to use.”
"Okay, okay, I got it." Duan Qing, who raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, said helplessly: "In short, this is still a teaching that uses your free time, right? You really don't have any chance. What a waste."
"After all, the situation we are facing is too severe, and your combat effectiveness is still too low." Violet commented unceremoniously: "The value of that ancient disc is too small now, and it will take some time to recover." After some research, all I can teach you now are some tips that can be effective immediately... Come on."
"Try it." She took a step back slightly, then stretched out her hand towards Duan Qing in front of her and said, "Let's see how it goes."
Nodding his head, Duan Qing then slowly closed his eyes. His arms stretched forward also carried his own insignificant amount of magical energy, gradually resonating with the magic circle in front of him. The pale white light then slowly rotated between the magic lines in front of her, and finally gradually turned into a bright yellow representing the earth element. Violet, who was looking at all this, quietly observed it for a while, and then became slightly satisfied. He nodded his head: "Yes, I can't believe that this is the first work of a magic apprentice."
"It's not my own work. After all, it was painted with your help." Duan Qing sighed and replied: "If I had done it myself, this magic circle would probably be so shoddy... Hey, Why is it yellow?"
"That is your own color, which proves that it is compatible with you." Violet replied with a smile: "Congratulations, you can use this anti-magic circle normally."
"I hope it can play its due role." Duan Qing sighed slightly: "The magician from the principality that you sensed... he should still be nearby, right?"
"Don't worry, since we are on the enemy's territory, I will still abide by the proper etiquette."
Her body gradually hid behind Duan Qing, and Violet's voice began to become deeper and deeper: "I won't take action easily until the void energy in me is completely dissipated, so -"
"I'll leave it to you to deal with outsiders."
She glanced at the figure approaching in front of the two people, and then lowered her head silently.
