"You two - are you the newly arrived Imperials?"
The figure broke through the rain curtain falling in the corner of the village, and the two principality players walking together slowly walked into Duan Qing's field of vision: "It's called Qingling Adventure Group, right?"
"Are you members of Red Soul?"
The focus of his eyes gradually stopped on the heads of the two people. Duan Qing lowered his head and wiped the tip of his nose: "I wonder what you are doing with this sudden visit?"
"You know us?"
Qianzui Lige, who glanced at each other and pointed at the ID above his head, replied with a grin on his face: "Not bad, he is indeed a person who can sneak into the investigation team, and he found out all our information so quickly. Already?"
Just because I know you.
After reciting this sentence silently in his heart, Duan Qing's eyes turned away from the two players in front of him who had had friendship before: "We have heard of Chi Hun's famous name for a long time, and we didn't expect that you To be able to wake up to the point where he can fight for the principality in such a short period of time..."
"Don't think too much, we are not so kind."
After waving his hand to interrupt the other party's words, the warrior player named Qianzui Lige pierced Duan Qing's body with his sharp eyes: "But in front of you imperial people, even us Red Souls -"
"Stop." An arm covered with a purple-gold magic robe then blocked his body, separating his aggressive gaze from Duan Qing's face: "Don't say too much, it will be exposed. Something.”
"But Yuwen, he——"
"What are you doing here?"
Ignoring the protests of his teammates, the magician player named Yuwen Baiye then set his sights on the magic lines behind Duan Qing: "Are you making a magic circle? In this place? Are you planning some conspiracy? ?”
"It's just a routine magic practice." Realizing that his actions once again caused unnecessary misunderstandings, Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "And the magic circle made by a zero-level magician will not make you like this. Are you worried?"
"Are you level zero?" Qianzui Lige's voice then became a lot more surprised: "Although your equipment levels look similar, but... the Empire would actually invite such a weak magician to be a member of the investigation team ? Is it because there is no one in your empire or you look down on our principality?"
"How come you can relate to everything?" Duan Qing pressed his forehead with his hand, smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice: "We don't mean any provocation, but the current composition of our team is indeed like this. If If you have any doubts, just go ahead and kill me."
"Ha, we won't be fooled."
He let out two mocking laughs provocatively, and then Yuwen Baiye's eyes fell on the magic circle behind Duan Qing: "Even I rarely see magicians who can make magic circles by themselves. Such magicians You are either a master or a person with genius-like talents, and looking at your unconcerned look... you must have already thought of provoking us here, and then suing us to cause a dispute, right? Are you treating us as fools? ?”
"...This is indeed just a small anti-magic circle with no special function." Duan Qing seemed to have lost the idea of continuing to reason with these people, and finally lamented: "After the magic experiment is over, we This magic circle will be removed, please rest assured."
"No matter what your explanation is, we will not believe you easily." Squinting at the outlined lines behind Duan Qing, Yuwen Baiye said in a low voice: "I only found it after I noticed the magic fluctuations. This place, I didn’t expect—wait a minute.”
"Who is this person behind you?" His eyes fell on Violet: "She is not playing - she is not an adventurer?"
"Ah, she is my follower." As if feeling the unresponsive intention behind him, Duan Qing smiled and turned sideways: "I don't usually speak, so I may lose some etiquette, please forgive me."
"Where are the followers?" They looked at each other, and Yuwen Baiye's eyes became sharper: "Sure enough, he is not an ordinary adventurer. He actually has followers of this level..."
"Maybe this is the reason why someone like him can be selected into the Imperial Investigation Team." A quiet voice came from his ears, accompanied by Qianzui Lige, who was tapping the scabbard on his waist with his fingers. Action: "Shall we do it right now—"
"..."
Without answering the other party's words, Yuwen Baiye's eyes roamed back and forth between Duan Qing and Violet behind him. His eyes, which seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, finally rested on the purple-haired woman who looked more powerful. Finally, she turned to the surface of the small magic circle at her feet: "How can you maintain the stability of the magic circle in such a heavy rain curtain... The materials you use are of a very high grade."
"She won't answer questions from strangers, just ask me." Duan Qing separated the other person's probing eyes from Violet, took a step forward and replied with a smile: "Used The material is not a very precious alchemy item, it is just a mixture of dragon and snake bone powder and magic-friendly plants such as azure grass and phoenix flower..."
"It's forbidden to show off your damn financial resources, you alchemists who only waste materials."
A few veins were exposed on his head. Yuwen Baiye, who raised his hand, then walked slowly to Duan Qing's side: "I don't know the so-called materials you mentioned, and I can't verify the authenticity, but - "
"I can still verify the effectiveness and authenticity of these magic arrays."
He pushed Duan Qing's body away, and then walked past Violet, who was standing still like a puppet. Driven by instinct, the magician in purple and gold magic robe quickly skipped checking this person. The follower's thoughts turned to the surface of the simple magic circle in front of him: "It does look like a simple magic circle. This is a forbidden rune, and then it is put on an elemental magic track... …Well, cut off in the middle? What does that mean?”
"This is an anti-magic array." Duan Qing, who came forward, explained: "There is an increasing expansion array behind it, which is also constructed in the simplest way. It will absorb the element in front of you. The disorder effect increases, and finally reaches the effect of disrupting the flow of elements in the entire area..."
"It's actually like this... No, no, no, it's not right, cough cough cough cough."
A look of surprise flashed through his eyes, and Yuwen Baiye suppressed his surprise by clearing his throat: "I don't know what you Imperial people are thinking, how can you reveal this magic principle so easily? …”
"Really? I thought this was the simplest principle of composition." Glancing in the direction of Violet, Duan Qing's smile became much more awkward: "It's all under the guidance of a master magician. I learned it under the guidance of the teacher, but I don’t know the principles very well, hahahahaha!”
"Don't be fooled by his stupidity." Qianzui Lige, who came forward, reminded with disdain: "Why don't you let this guy activate this magic circle to see? If other effects appear, I Now chop him with one knife!"
"No need, the effect of this magic circle should work." He stretched out his hand to stop his teammates from drawing out their swords. Yuwen Baiye's eyes roamed back and forth on the surface of the magic circle in front of him: "The magic fluctuation just now was you testing this magic. It was emitted during the formation, right? No wonder there is an aura in it that disgusts me. It turns out to be something used to disrupt the movement of elements..."
"Maybe it's because my compatibility is better." Recalling what Violet said before, Duan Qing smiled and scratched his head: "So the fluctuations spread farther than before, and the interference seemed to It’s also stronger than usual.”
"This is the territory of the principality. You'd better demolish it as soon as possible." As if he had woken up from his thoughts, Yuwen Baiye then shouted a warning to Duan Qing: "Even if this is just a remote town, this area The order of the land is not something you can change at will!"
"Don't worry, we will dismantle it soon." Duan Qing nodded and bowed and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry that I have to bother you to inspect like this on such a rainy day."
"We Red Souls are just moving around now. To ensure that there are no problems in this town is only our obligation as citizens of the principality to follow voluntarily, especially you imperial people - we will deal with every suspicious behavior of yours. Stop it immediately!"
"Okay, okay, we must pay attention...do you need to go to this extent? Just because we are members of the Empire?"
"Of course it's because - wait a minute, you want to trick us again, right? You cunning Imperial people are always trying to take advantage of our loopholes!"
"Hey, you are a tall red soul, a well-known popular group in Tania, the capital of the principality. Isn't it a little inconsistent with your status to target us, an imperial investigation team with only a few dozen people, like this?"
"Young Master, do you think we haven't investigated you members of the investigation team? You have an eldest princess, a large number of imperial dignitaries, Lanshan is also in your team, and your small team - I heard The Snow Spirit Huanbing and the Dark Whispering Ninglan are all in your small team, as well as the Thousand-Zhizhe who has been following you for some reason..."
call.
Violet took a deep breath and looked at the distance of the path. Then she moved her gaze to the side from the back of Duan Qing who accompanied the Red Soul duo to leave. She didn't know what she was thinking about. He did not recover from his puppet-like state, but stood quietly looking at the magic circle at his feet: "..."
"This is not an effect that can be achieved simply by having good compatibility."
She stood alone, and finally sighed in the empty rain curtain around her. The invisible flow of magic followed the great magician's thoughts and began to flow into the magic circle at her feet, and then emitted another sound. There was an earthy yellow light: "There is indeed something I want hidden in this magic circle, but I didn't expect to be discovered at this moment... haha."
"Should we say that the fate of the two of us is still closely connected?"
She looked at the countless carved lines with a faint light, and then slowly followed Duan Qing and the others in the direction they left: "Forget it, since it has been noticed, let's talk about it next time."
"Just give up this time."
The small magic circle filled with magical brilliance then suddenly brightened, and then exploded into fragments of light that filled the sky with a crisp muffled sound. These crystal fragments that filled the rain curtain also followed the footsteps of the people who were gradually moving away. The surrounding heavy rain mixed into the invisible stream.
*******************************
"They should have fully investigated us."
Some time later at night, in the tavern of Talan Village, where the sky gradually turned dark, several members of the Qingling Adventure Group who had reunited had a meal together and began to exchange the information they had learned from each other: "Not so much. They don't pay too much attention to famous people, but at least they know people like Xue Ling Huan Bing, Dark Whispering Ning Lan, and Thousand Zhihe."
"This news sounds really irritating." Chao Ri Dongsheng, who was chewing on his hoof and leg, raised his head with disdain: "You don't even give me the face of the 'Giant Ax God of War'? You don't even go to the surrounding places. Ask around—"
"Okay, okay, this is a principality. No matter how much I ask, I won't know you." Gedman interrupted the other party with a wave of disdain: "Unless you sign up for the competition now, and then directly get one The UEFA Cup champions are back.”
"Don't tell me yet, it's really possible now." Asahi Dongsheng, who did not continue to compete with the shield warriors as usual, patted his thigh, then showed an excited expression: "You have heard about the situation outside, right? The current professional league is in chaos, if I take the money to go out and pick up the slack, maybe I can actually form a championship team and come back!"
"Let's not mention the UEFA Cup for the time being. The impact that shakes the foundation of the team will not fall on us for the time being."
Sighing softly, Xueling Huanbing, who was sitting in the middle of the wine table, said in a calm voice: "Let's continue to pay attention to the situation at hand - Goldman, have you heard anything?"
"I heard from the guards near the town hall that the Principality Council seems to be very busy recently." Gedmane lowered his voice and replied: "Although I don't know if they are discussing it for us, but at least it can be seen that they really are not What energy to take care of our affairs.”
"Ha, is this considered valuable information?" Asahi Dongsheng on the side pouted his lips: "You, a guy who sneaked into our team halfway, are not as good as our Yumeng brothers! Come on, Yumeng brothers , tell us what you discovered.”
"It's not a discovery, I just paid a little attention to the surroundings according to your arrangement." Yuemeng, who was squatting in the corner of the wine table and holding the food in front of him, replied: "Then I discovered some suspicious whereabouts."
"It should be from the Honglian Gang."
