"……really."
The long silence finally turned into a wry smile. Duan Qing, who was holding the object in his hand, shook his head and let out a sigh. Looking extremely weak, he then gently lifted the blood-colored hairpin and returned it to Xueling Huanbing. , and said in a low voice: "Although Fleur's name is not written on it, it looks like it must have been written by her."
"Looking at the descriptions of these system texts, maybe they are items that Fleur used to give to others." Nodding slightly, Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression also softened: "Although I don't know who gave it to him in the end, and It doesn’t matter why I ended up where I am now, but that’s right.”
"Speaking of which, who is Emperor Frei's husband?" Duan Qing stretched his half-sitting body with great effort, and a painful expression appeared on Duan Qing's face again: "Since the unique emperor has his own descendants. , then she should have a husband, right?"
"I haven't studied the ancient history of the empire, and I don't know the background setting." With a helpless smile, Xue Ling Huan Bing then replied in a low voice: "But according to the current common empire stories, the relevant There are indeed very few mentions of Emperor Frey’s husband.”
"Maybe there are few records out of consideration for the majesty of the royal family."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and Duan Qing then withdrew his gaze from around the hall: "Of course, there is a possibility of dying early or running away from home. In short, judging from the description on this piece of equipment, Look, there is a high possibility that this thing was given to her lover by Fleur."
"If it were me, I wouldn't give it to you."
Subconsciously speaking this sentence, Xue Ling Huan Bing stared at the hairpin in his hand and suddenly blushed and panicked as if he had realized something: "I, I, I mean, this kind of hairpin and the like How is it possible to give away something! The other party is a man, there is no way he can wear such a thing on his body..."
"No way, maybe in ancient society a thousand years ago, men's styles and decorations were the same as in our ancient times."
The smile on his face became thicker, and the weakness in Duan Qing's smile seemed to disappear a little: "And this kind of thing is not based on the shape. As long as the attributes and special effects are powerful, it can be used as a dog-beating stick. And fire sticks, players will flock to them... and so on."
"I wonder why I feel something is wrong." The action of taking out the healing potion stopped, and Duan Qing suddenly exclaimed as if he remembered something: "The blessing of blood and the transformation of blood... This has nothing to do with you. The skills and moves you showed just now are completely incompatible!"
"Where did you get your 'Forbidden Demonic Blood Mist'?"
He looked at the slightly dazed beautiful face close at hand and asked with a puzzled look on his face. Xueling Huanbing, who was inserting the hairpin back into his white hair, also paused slightly for a moment. His eyes blinked innocently: "That? That's the effect of the suit."
"Set, suit?" Then Duan Qing's look of shock became more obvious: "Where did the suit come from? Could it be that the relics of Emperor Frey are also combined with suits?"
"Well...I don't know either."
Shaking his head, Xueling Huanbing tossed his long white hair behind him like a waterfall: "Anyway, since I got this piece of equipment, I have one or two more skills in my skill bar. , maybe because I have collected more than two items from Emperor Frey, and these skills also obviously have the characteristics of 'blood'."
"It looks pretty strong too."
[Assimilation Shield: Gather the power of blood and turn the original damage into your own use. Absorbs the next attack the user receives and activates different effects depending on the type of attack. The chanting time is 1 second, the duration is 5 seconds, and the cooling time is 3 minutes. 】
[Vitality Domain: Using blood as a sacrifice, unfold the "reason" that does not belong to this world and turn it into a blood sacrifice that is the same as one's own body: the life loss effect of all creatures within the range can be regarded as the user's own life Loss effect, and also adds "Magic Imprisonment" status. Duration: 1 second/1% health volume. 】
"...Okay, so strong."
After looking at the skill description displayed by Xue Ling Huan Bing for a while, Duan Qing finally let out a staggering sigh: "A damage cancellation effect, a barrier that goes against common sense - or should we say a field? This is different from Vallie. Is the field used by Te previously the same?"
"I don't know." Xue Ling Huanbing gently shook her head: "I just said it silently in my heart and then used it. The blood in my body seemed to be burning. At that time, every inch of skin and every hair seemed to be burning. I felt a pinprick of pain, but it also made my senses and reactions extremely clear, as if the whole world seemed to have slowed down."
"It should be the metabolic effect of accelerated blood flow."
Duan Qing, who seemed to have had the same experience, sighed deeply: "It seems that the bonus brought by this skill is not just as simple as described on the surface, but this state will not be possible for a while. Adaptable...Wait a minute, if the life loss effects of other players are also included-"
"That's right, those skills that require consuming life to be used will not be restricted by me." Confirming the other party's conjecture, Xue Ling Huan Bing nodded his head: "As long as we continue to fight, at least this field can It has been maintained, coupled with the defensive effect of blood energy transformation..."
"I see."
Duan Qing nodded his head, raised his head and drank the healing potion he took out: "The ability that was used by Emperor Frei in the previous life and finally dominated the entire continent is indeed different from the ordinary ones we usually use. Techniques and moves are not of the same level."
"Legendary level equipment should have such strength, but Fleur's strength is definitely much stronger than what I have now." Xueling Huanbing replied in a low voice: "In addition to the weapons, I have got None of the items involve the player’s main equipment parts, and it’s hard to imagine the effects of those equipment.”
"I don't think such equipment exists in this world, but - this is the attractive part of this world." Duan Qing sighed softly, smiled and patted the other party's shoulder: "Yes. Why don’t you go up and open another one to try?”
"...No, it's no longer safe here."
With Duan Qing's direction indicated, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes were full of firmness as she withdrew her gaze: "If more people find this place, the secrets here will be discovered sooner or later... As for you, What did you hear from that person just now? How could there be such a big flaw? "
"He mentioned the Fool's Adventure Group."
His expression froze a little again, and Duan Qing's gaze turned to focus deeper around him: "He said that the principality is now chasing fugitives, those prisoners who escaped from the underground cages damaged by the earthquake, and the people of the Fool's Adventure Group ——”
"Maybe it's one of them."
As if she understood the meaning of Duan Qing's words, Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression also froze a little. She stood up along with Duan Qing's slowly rising body, and her eyes followed into the depths of the hall. The darkness: "Is it Mengzhu and the others? They were originally detained here?"
"I don't know, maybe somewhere else."
As if he was caught in some kind of memory, Duan Qing's expression also became melancholy: "When we asked before, that guy Lao Tietuo didn't tell where Mengzhu and the others were imprisoned, but since the entire tower Nia has collapsed, and no matter how restricted their freedom is, it is now possible to appear anywhere."
"They might be around too."
After saying these last words, Duan Qing then forcibly cooled down his thoughts: "The negotiations between the two countries have just begun. Prince Chris's crime has not been eliminated, and the Fool's Adventure Group's fugitive status will naturally not be eliminated." If they disappear, they cannot return to the light of day.”
"You want to find them here?" Xueling Huanbing slowly shook his head: "The chance is really too small, and even if we can find them, so what? Can we change the situation they are facing now? What?"
"At least we now represent the empire."
Gritting his teeth hard, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "If there is really no other way, it is okay to just say that they are our people and then protect them in the name of the empire. The principality may also take this into account." Put it on the negotiation table as a bargaining chip, and with Pamir's style, he will not object to this situation."
"The most important point: they will definitely help us solve the mystery before us." He took two steps forward, then looked back at Xue Ling Huan Bing's face: "They should be before Prince Chris. The witnesses who made the big mistake must know the inside story, and they should not hide it from us like the rumors from the outside world, at least for your sake——"
Snapped.
The crisp sound of cracking floorboards sounded behind Duan Qing. It was the sound made when Xue Ling Huanbing took a heavy step and cracked the floor. The woman's eyes and expression were hidden between her long hair. He also stopped trembling and showed a smile to Duan Qing's eyes again: "No, I'm fine."
"Since this is your idea, let's go."
She no longer paid attention to Duan Qing's stunned expression and passed in front of him with long white hair.
"Find them."
***************************
The situation seems to be becoming more and more lively as more and more intruders appear, and the forces of all parties are also beginning to change with the appearance of more and more other players. Appearing around this underground world, more and more exclamations filled the ears of Duan Qing, who had been hiding from time to time. As time goes by and the journey lengthens, the encounters and battles between these players gradually begin to appear in the underground world. Their origins are ever-changing and their purposes are different, which also leads to these dark Every corner deep in the passage becomes as strange and uncertain as a maze: "Be careful ahead, I seem to hear something - ah!"
"It's a poisonous arrow! The people from the Five Poison Black Heart Group appear again!"
"People in front of me, listen, this is already the territory of our Black Heart Group! Get out of here, all the rest! Otherwise, we will have the Five Poison Formation waiting for us - what?"
"They are not from the Yama Gang! They are from the Iron God Sect!"
"...Look at this mess now."
Looking away from the two groups of figures still facing each other in front of them, Duan Qing carefully retracted his visit: "Trouble, there are so many people here getting in the way, I'm afraid we can't do anything."
"We still have the advantage of terrain." Xueling Huanbing, who was hiding behind Duan Qing, shook his head: "If we incorporate Redcar's terrain into this area, there are many routes we can choose. , even if some areas have been collapsed and damaged, at least we can eliminate some areas."
"You are referring to the places after District 15." Pointing to the map in his hand, Duan Qing curled up and huddled into the deep darkness: "It is indeed difficult to preserve those areas near the outermost area, and The same goes for those ordinary houses, which may have been renovated long ago.”
“The next step is how to identify targets.”
The sound of fighting ahead was getting farther and farther away. The two people moved quietly: "We have never heard of the prison in the underground area, so it must be a very ancient and secret place. If it were me, I would have transferred someone who was originally sent there. The place nearby should be converted into a prison and used."
"That's right. In this way, relevant information can be suppressed to a level that is least likely to be exposed, and at the same time, the resources here can be fully utilized." Xue Ling Huanbing nodded in agreement: "The area where Lao Tietou and the others are located The area has been exposed to the world, and everything there should be out of consideration. If we exclude the things on that layer..."
"There are only a few places left."
Comparing the maps in each other's hands, Duan Qing finally sighed and pointed his finger at the empire map in Xue Ling Huan Bing's hand: "After getting off Red Mountain, there are only large-scale establishments such as the Adventurer's Association and the Warrior's Home. The building still meets the requirements, and if we were to force the calculation, the old house of the Roland family should barely be included..."
"Judging from the altitude, they should all be in a higher level of space." Making an inverted gesture, Xueling Huanbing then shook his head: "Although it has not been confirmed, they should not be .”
"There are not many large spaces that can leave an impression on people, let alone the same height as Red Mountain." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "It can't be that library, right? It's so far away and the height is too high. Not much higher—"
"There is a place."
Suddenly interrupting the other party's words, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes lit up and then reached out and pointed to a certain place on Redcar's plan: "If my impression is not wrong."
“This place definitely qualifies.”
