"There's a commotion in the underworld."
At the same moment, in the darkness somewhere in the central square of Tania, a figure standing in the parliament hall with his hands behind his hands slowly raised his head, and at the same time looked at the person who had experienced an explosion in the city with inexplicable eyes. Direction: "It's the two people from before, right?"
"According to the feedback from the pursuers sent out before, the two Imperial men should have fled underground." A Duchy council member standing outside the shadows replied in a low voice: "We should have been able to continue the arrest operation. Yes, but a powerful enemy suddenly appeared, and he also got into the cave that collapsed, and it is now impassable."
"...Have you found out the identity of that powerful enemy?"
"No, after all, his speed was too fast. We only saw a huge black shadow, and we couldn't even distinguish the male and female clearly."
Shaking his head slightly, he looked again at the reporter in the center of the parliament hall and said in a low voice: "Will this be a variable tonight?"
"Pamir's fall has become a fact, and he will not stand up again this time."
Waving his hand, the black figure standing in the center of the meeting hall whispered: "The miracle of 795 years in the new calendar will not happen again. After all, everyone is on his side, and we even You don’t need to do anything else, just wait for things to develop.”
"But after all, there are still two insiders who escaped." The figure in the shadow replied in a low voice: "If they tell the truth about the matter-"
"There is no such thing as 'truth'."
Interrupting the other party's words, the black figure with his hands behind his back slowly turned around: "Pamir was assassinated by two adventurers in the Hall of Heroes, and they were adventurers from the Imperial Investigation Team - this is The truth of the matter, there is no second truth."
"We don't need to wait until tomorrow morning, we can tell everyone the news now." He waved his hand, as if giving orders to the surroundings: "As for the two adventurers... what the two murderers said , can anyone believe it?”
"..."
"I know what you are worried about, Sir Vincent."
Facing the scene where the figure in the shadow stopped talking, the man standing in the center with his hands behind his back then changed to a comforting tone: "I know you are not very confident yet, after all, we are not using the same Justifiable means, but as long as the results we pursue are just, details like means don’t really matter.”
"Everything is for the principality." His voice gradually became deeper, like a teacher who is instructing students: "The principality is currently under attack from both sides, with internal and external troubles. We should not continue to use Speaker Pamir's methods of dealing with the situation. Sacrifice...should be made.”
"I understand." He nodded his head, and Vincent, who was in the shadows, replied in a low voice: "In order for your sacrifice not to go to waste, I will do my best."
"Very well, let's go back and continue monitoring." Still standing motionless, the black figure with his hands behind his hands answered with a hint of smile: "Originally, this matter should be done by the more radical civilian faction. , but it’s a pity that Connelly guy hasn’t shown up for a long time, so... after we get rid of that Fatty Yang, I will keep my promise and transfer all the intelligence resources in his hands and the identity of the leader of the civilian faction to you. superior."
"You, and Anderson behind you, will be saved."
The discussion hall then returned to silence again. It seemed that with the withdrawal of a certain congressman named Vincent, the candidate for discussion was lost. The figure of the man who stood motionless then stood there for a long time, and finally Suddenly he let out a burst of triumphant laughter: "Hehehehe, hahahahaha!"
"That way it's foolproof."
He raised his head and revealed a face that was exactly the same as Pamir's: "God, have you seen it? Your will will come here soon, and your will will become reality soon." !”
"I'm afraid that idiot will never think that someone is waiting for him behind the scenes in this way." He covered his face and hid his words in the darkness again: "And this time, whether it is the Fleur Empire or the The Magic Empire will not tolerate it any longer."
"The world will fall back into chaos."
He burst into indescribable laughter again, and the sound of the laughter was also low and different from the previous laughter: "Then...by that time...everything will obey God's will..."
"Report."
The light wind then appeared behind him, and it was the sound of another mysterious figure arriving in the shadows of the chamber at some unknown time: "We found traces of that person."
"Oh?" Trying to calm down his emotions, the figure who looked like the Speaker of the Principality raised his hands again: "Where is she?"
"She's in the underground waterway."
Still not raising his head, the mysterious figure in the darkness replied in a low voice: "But the area where the waterway is located is different from what we have learned before. It seems to be another older area located in the underground area. We haven't found her before, probably because of this."
"Hmph, after all, he is a mouse that has lived underground for more than ten years. He knows the terrain much better than any of us." The man snorted disdainfully: "What about now? Have you caught her?"
"We are sending people to continue tracking." The mysterious figure in the darkness continued to answer: "But..."
"That area is currently unknown to us. There seem to be monsters and many unknown devices in it." The reporter hesitated for a moment: "If you break in rashly, I don't know if it will cause any other problems." .”
"No matter how big the problem is, it can't be bigger than keeping that woman in this city."
His eyes suddenly became sharp, and the man with his hands behind his back suddenly turned around: "Don't forget God's will! Don't forget our responsibilities! Since that guy is still alive in the world, then she must die. !”
"Yes." Then the mysterious figure hidden in the darkness had to lower his head again; "We will go right away."
"...Ask Fordson's men to help investigate."
The man who seemed to have recovered from a certain emotion and put away his movements finally interrupted the reporter's departure with a calm tone: "Using the city defense system they have, you may be able to find it. Clues about that unknown area... Wow."
"These damn principality people don't even know what secrets are hidden under the capital where they are." He no longer issued any new instructions, but whispered to himself while waving away the other party: "There is no such thing. A country that knows itself but wants to be arrogant..."
"No wonder fate abandons you all."
*************************************
The oncoming wind pressure gradually smelled of blood, as well as the darkness and decay unique to the monster's lair. Although Duan Qing was still unable to figure out what the decay at the end of the tunnel that seemed to span time and space represented. What kind of meaning, but the underground railway track composed of these platforms in front of me has completely stopped: "... Ninglan, how is your condition?"
"Ninglan can still fight, sir."
The dagger shining with cold light then appeared in front of the two adventurers who were clinging to the edge of the handrail, and was accompanied by the firm voice of Ninglan, who said in secret: "Please leave it to Ninglan."
"All right."
The howling wind was mixed with a bit of roaring feeling, and then there were several faint screams coming from the depths of the tunnel ahead: "Get ready to fight."
"yes."
The metal platform moving at high speed then began to shake a bit, which was a violent reaction when something suddenly attached to the platform. The bloody smell and screaming sounds that passed by just for a moment later turned into a few. The huge black shadow jumped on the guardrail of the subway train composed of platforms with unimaginable force and speed; "They are coming!"
The piercing scream turned into a roar that was close at hand, showing the bloody mouths of those creatures in front of Duan Qing. The red and green subway lights then illuminated the appearance of these monsters for a moment, making them resemble humanoids. , but the appearance of his body covered with scales deeply reflected in Duan Qing's eyes. The sound of sharp claws and metal interlacing in the air kept appearing in the ears of the gray-robed magician, accompanied by the interaction between the already disappeared Dark Whispering Ninglan and one of the attached monsters. In the entangled scene, the dagger flying up and down like a butterfly then danced back and forth on those hard scales, and finally stopped at the monster's neck with a slant-like slash: "... Their scales are very tough, sir."
"Then find a way to increase the power of the attack."
Amidst the sound of breaking through the air behind him, Duan Qing, who had stooped down, used an awkward roll to deflect the attack of another humanoid monster from above his head: "I will create opportunities, and then it's up to you!"
"Yes sir!"
Brilliant star points then appeared in front of Duan Qing's eyes. They were several bright reflections of light shining in the air from the daggers thrown by throwing weapons. The starlight was too fast to react and then passed by Duan Qing's side. He wiped it accurately and accurately nailed the black shadow that was attacking Duan Qing with the phantom: "Ouch!"
"Did you hit it? This should be considered a hit, right?" Feeling the tension of the close death threat passing by him, Duan Qing then involuntarily shouted: "Then-"
"It's my turn next!"
He took out two bottles of magic potion from his arms, and then dropped one of them heavily on the surface of the metal platform that was still moving at high speed. The frost caused by the magic energy then moved from the center of the fall extremely quickly. The dots spread around, freezing the black shadows of the other two agile monsters that were just about to pounce on them. The angry howls then completely occupied Duan Qing's hearing, and the blood basin was close at hand. The stench from the big mouth also disturbed the spirit of the gray-robed magician. He tried his best to keep his body stable and then gritted his teeth and shouted with all his strength: "The poisonous potion will not last for a few seconds! The burning effect of the fire potion will also dispel the freezing effect on them!"
"The chance only lasts a moment!"
The round potion bottle swaying with bright flames drew a beautiful arc in the air. He shouted and threw out a bottle of fire potion that he had already pinched in his hand, then leaned down with all his strength and threw out the last bottle of fire potion in his hand. A potion bottle exuding a dark aura fell heavily to the ground. The unbearable smell mixed with the dark green color unique to poison drifted into Duan Qing's hands, and then quickly blew out due to the high speed of the subway. The dark green mist that was carried away by the wind pressure then followed. It floated over one of the humanoid monsters whose chest lit up with burning fire, and was immediately cut into two horizontal halves by another moonlight-like slash.
"new moon!"
The bright and brilliant moonlight once again appeared in this dark tunnel that led to nowhere. The slashing light with six times the attack power seemed to be brighter than before. The poisonous mist that followed the wind followed. It also quickly disappeared from the sky above the subway platform. Also disappearing at the same time was the neatly chopped head of one of the monsters: "...very good."
"That leaves only one."
Duan Qing curled up and hid on the other side of the platform, hugging the armrest tightly and murmured in a low voice: "It's a pity that we only prepared one bottle of poisonous potion. If we want to create that kind of opportunity again-"
boom!
It was an extremely shocking collision, a cruel collision that made every human being's scalp numb after hearing it. Fulla, who had appeared on the platform at some unknown time, also retracted her slender arms. Only the lower half of the last monster's body was displayed in front of Duan Qing and the two men: "...it seems that these monsters have higher instincts than you, and none of them dare to come to me."
"Although I came to the rescue after watching the show for so long, I still want to say thank you." Duan Qing wiped the cold sweat from his face and then showed an awkward smile: "Thank you for your help."
"You can solve it yourself." Looking at Duan Qing with an emotionless look, Fula's eyes then fell on the hands of Ciyu Ninglan on the side: "The pair of daggers... I remember they are called Xingyue, right? It’s a high-level weapon once used by a certain female human in the empire.”
"It was used by a former queen of our Fleur Empire." Duan Qing couldn't help but corrected: "She - forget it, anyway, in the eyes of a being like you, the queen of the empire is probably the same as ours. There is no difference between the more powerful ants...eh."
His words gradually stopped, accompanied by his gradually widening eyes. The head of the monster that was killed by Furla just now also slowly approached as the dragon lady gradually approached. Appeared in the line of sight that could be seen clearly.
