"Xiaoba, how many magic gems do you still have on your body?"
This was a brief conversation that happened a few seconds ago from the other side of the blocked wall. Because the voice on the other side could be clearly heard through the small hole in the wall, the sound of this conversation was also particularly suppressed. Weiwei: "It would be better if it were an earth magic gem."
"I, I do, but -" the girl known as Xiaoba held her hands nervously: "What are you going to do, big brother? This is Xiaoba's precious gift."
"I will pay you a piece later." Without looking back, Duan Qing stretched out his hand, and then took a pendant from the other person's neck: "Well... the purity seems to be quite good. , hope it can really work.”
"Can you cast the levitation technique?" He turned sideways, and the magician's disc between his hands began to shine with earth-yellow light: "Looking at the wind blade you have cast before, you should be a wind magician. Teacher?"
"Of course." To Duan Qing's surprise, Yata bird nodded his head quickly: "What should Xiaoba do?"
"Just listen to my command and release the floating technique on this wall." His fingers moved quickly among the stars on the surface of the magician's disk. Duan Qing then paid serious attention to what was happening in front of the small hole. Every second of what happened: "Originally, this move was meant to be used on another battlefield behind us, but now..."
"No choice."
The light in his field of vision flashed by, and he smacked down hard. The earthy yellow light then shone together with the cyan magic light between Yata bird's hands, and instantly disappeared into the ground in front of him: "What's going to happen next?" It’s a magic trick!”
"The five ghosts are moving! The stars are moving!"
The harsh friction sound of sword energy suddenly rose on the other side of the wall in front of him. It was the sound made when two mixed sword energy hit the wall. The originally extremely solid pile of rocks Then it became crumbling under the powerful sword energy bombardment and Duan Qing's magic, and finally turned into raindrop-like fragments and scattered into the melted ground below. Looking at the sudden change in front of her with some surprise, Liangchen Meiyu, who was pulled aside by the sword energy, hurriedly raised her feet to dodge the yellow light that suddenly appeared under the scattered wall, and the flying flying ice from the snow spirit. The next moment he kicked, he appeared in front of him, kicking his still unsteady body into the depths of the passage with his sword: "Duan Qing!"
"drink!"
What echoed behind the white-haired female swordsman was the loud shout of the gray-robed magician, and his pair of hands covered with earth magic elements that were rising with difficulty. The boulder that originally sank into the yellow light was also affected by some kind of power from Duan Qing. It rose again, with a rumbling vibration, and piled up to the depths of the passage in front of Xueling Huanbing. The blue veins that burst out on his forehead slowly subsided. As if he had exhausted all his strength, the gray-robed magician slowly fell to the ground. The quagmire technique that originally included the area where he was was also Because he lost the support of magical power, all the sunken bodies including his were wrapped in it: "Huh, huh, huh, huh..."
"Good cooperation."
Looking at the rocky wall in front of him that seemed to have been moved, Duan Qing, who was exhausted physically and mentally, smiled and gave up his struggle: "The strength is just right, I almost admire myself."
"If I hadn't led the opponent's sword energy to break up the wall, would you have succeeded so easily?" She struggled to pull her body out of the solidified ground, and the white-haired female swordsman's face was revealed. Smile: "This is a trick I came up with on a whim to do the opposite."
"Come on, you just want to use your strength to collapse this wall." Duan Qing was dragging his body hard by the Yata bird behind him, but there was an unceremonious smile on Duan Qing's face: "If it weren't for me The three of us might have lost our self-created technique of moving the five ghosts here."
"The current situation has not changed much." Looking at the sound of swords chopping behind him and the faint angry roar coming from Liangchen Meiyu, Xueling Huanbing also shook his head: "Let's leave quickly."
"Escape first and then talk."
Glancing in the direction of Asahi Dongsheng, who was entangled with the Beast Alliance and others, Duan Qing then nodded his head. The three seriously injured disabled people then struggled to get out of the way with the help of each other. Climbing up the hollow revealed above the collapsed wall in front of me. The sounds from both sides of the flanking battlefield began to become more and more blurry as they moved away, accompanied by the increasingly obvious breathing sounds of several bodies supporting each other, and the wordless silence. After wandering around without a clue for a period of time, he was broken by Xue Ling Huan Bing's first sigh: "The magic just now was good."
"Of course it's good. It's a masterpiece of quagmire magic plus element control, plus the wind attribute magic levitation skill and my alchemy knowledge."
"Even with high-level magic control, I'm afraid I can't move so many rocks together, let alone lift them to the desired position... Did you use 'that'?"
"..."
"Well, since you don't want to say—who is she?"
"I picked it up on the way... uh no, it's the little guy who was temporarily placed here with me. His name is Yata Bird."
Duan Qing, who seemed to be aware of the resentment of the little girl behind him, hurriedly changed his words in the middle of his answer: "Her strength is pretty good, and she helped me a lot just now."
"In this short period of time?" Xue Ling Huan Bing's inquiry still didn't stop: "I remember that when you and... you and Ning Lan escaped together, there was no such little guy."
"It's just an accidental encounter." Duan Qing replied nonchalantly: "Her brother - the guy who just worked with Asahi Dongsheng to deal with the Beast Alliance - they can be regarded as saving my life. I don’t know why he got out from under the hands of the fisherman.”
"It seems that your experience during this period is also very exciting." After a slight silence for a while, Xue Ling Huan Bing tried to maintain a normal calm tone in his answer: "Can you tell me everything that happened after you left that control room? ?Where is that... lady with long golden hair? "
"You mean Fula?" Duan Qing's voice came from the direction of the gray-robed magician as he kept walking: "She... should be the end of our journey, including the furnace - that Together with a magic beacon."
"Magic beacon? What is that?"
"There are a lot of things that need to be explained to you. Although I don't understand many of the reasons." Duan Qing let out a special sigh, and then pointed behind him: "But there is one discovery. I can first tell you You reveal it."
"This place is very likely related to the Fleur Empire." His voice gradually became lower and his tone seemed to become serious: "The passage we escaped from just now, the room connected at the end, is very likely to be there. The royal palace we have arrived at."
"...Huh?" His answer was, as expected, a surprised sound from Xue Ling Huan Bing: "What does this mean?"
"Although I don't know where you came from, your map records should still be there." Without rushing to answer the other party's doubts, Duan Qing handed his adventurer's manual to the other party: "Look, Here, here, and here... If the place just now was the royal palace, then the location of the magic beacon is the side hall."
"Do you still remember that beam of light?" He blinked his eyes at this point: "The magic passage leading to the other world - to the sky sanctuary, may be the so-called beacon."
"You mean, this is Redcar's royal palace complex?" The doubts on Xue Ling Huan Bing's face became bigger and bigger: "You're not dreaming, are you? This is obviously Tania! It's E The center of the Principality of Ernifia! How could this be Redkar, the imperial capital thousands of miles away?"
"As for the question of 'why', we haven't figured it out yet." After synchronizing the magic map data between the two people, Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "However, there are various signs that these secret areas have obviously been transformed. , is the former Imperial Palace, and that magic beacon——"
"It is very likely that it was brought here from the underground of the capital of the former Fleur Empire."
His voice paused for a moment, as if he was waiting for the two women beside him, one large and one small, to digest what he heard: "Fula should still be fighting at the beacon, where the final battle should be. There was a BOSS battle, but because our strength was too low, we had no room to intervene in a battle at that level."
"We can only think of other ways." He looked at Xue Ling Huan Bing's face, as if waiting for the other party's answer: "As the heir of Emperor Frey, have you discovered anything else?"
"I……"
The previous illusions suddenly appeared in his mind, and Xueling Huanbing shook his head vigorously: "No, no, this is impossible. Even if this is really Redcar, the conditions on both sides are different from ours." The situations we face are all very different.”
"But this is indeed the only direction we can try now." Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "You understand the purpose of that light beam, and I understand the structure of that magic leyline. As long as we can find the right entry point, we may Only then can we solve this puzzle and uncover the secrets buried beneath Tanya."
"But so what?" Xue Ling Huan Bing frowned slightly, then shook his head vigorously: "I didn't come here to uncover some secrets, I came here to Save you, you are now—don’t you still know your current situation?”
The last half of the sentence was said in a lowered voice after she suddenly noticed Yatadori's presence: "You can't die so easily anymore."
"How can I be as fragile as you said?" Duan Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As long as you abide by the rules of the game, these things will not hurt me, and normal death will not lose experience. Just let me get out of this damn place."
"I will not grant their wishes."
After turning one corner after another, the gray-robed magician then caught the faint red light coming from the depths of the passage ahead into his eyes: "Fu La is still fighting hard inside, even if it's not for revenge. We can’t just ignore those guys who frame us every day.”
"I met people from the Templar Order before, and they were able to fly freely." As if remembering something, Xue Ling Huan Bing also hurriedly lowered her voice: "They seem to know this underground area very well, they should be We have been exploring each other for a while, and there is even some possibility of cooperation.”
"No wonder you were so seriously injured... When you meet someone of that level, it's pretty good to survive successfully." Duan Qing couldn't help but look at the bloodstained body of Xue Ling Huan Bing in front of him. He let out an apologetic laugh: "It's really——"
"Thank you for your hard work."
There seemed to be a flash of warmth in her eyes, and Xue Ling Huan Bing quickly suppressed the joy that welled up in her scarred heart. She tightened the hands holding each other with Duan Qing, and then The other party's body was slowly placed in the corner: "...then, let's break in?"
"Let me make the final preparations."
Duan Qing tried his best to calm down his breathing, and then took out the alchemy tools he carried with him in his robe one by one: "There are not many materials left, so there is nothing left to make... Xiaoba , do you have any alchemy materials on you?"
"Wow, wow, what is this?" He was answered by Yata bird's more obvious screams and her curious eyes lying in front of the alchemy equipment: "So eldest brother is still an alchemist? "
"It's better to say that this is my main business." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and pushed away the other party's head: "Quickly, if you have anything to lend us, sell it to us first. That eldest sister over there is the president of our family, and the accounts are all Just put it on her head."
"Hey! Give me back the emotion you just felt." Then Xue Ling Huan Bing knocked Duan Qing's head angrily: "90% of the income of our adventure group has been eaten by you, an alchemist. What on earth are you doing?" Do you feel a little bit guilty?"
"Without the power converted from 90% of the resources, how could we defeat so many powerful enemies?" Duan Qing rolled his eyes and replied: "There may be pursuers behind us at any time. Can we defeat so many powerful enemies without wasting time?" Don’t waste time.”
"Who else? Are you referring to the Alliance of Beasts and Birds?" Looking at the direction in which the few people came, Xueling Huanbing slowly pulled out his long sword: "Don't worry, even if Chaori Dongsheng doesn't work, I will I’ll hold on for you for a while.”
"They are not the only known enemies, there are also people from Tingyulou." The faint sound of footsteps came to his ears, and a serious look gradually appeared on Duan Qing's face: "If I guessed correctly... "
"They should have united with Liangchen Meiyu and others."
