As if deliberately guiding the guests in the direction to go, a magic broom that was constantly wandering around the bottom of the circular tower moved in front of Duan Qing as these words fell, attracting everyone's attention to this magic broom. The magic broom then twisted its waist like a living person, and swayed towards the entrance of the steps not far away with a rustling sound: "I always feel that-"
"I always feel that the design of this place is more in line with the appearance of a magic tower in the magical world."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Duan Qing then whispered to the Snow Spirit Huan Bing behind him: "The flying tableware, the magic broom, the floating stairs, and so many magic books... it's just like what's in my mind It’s exactly the same as the magical world you imagined.”
"God knows why the magic technology in the free world eventually evolved into what it is now." Noticing the magic stairs floating in the air indicated by the gray-robed magician at this time, Xueling Huanbing shook his head with an amused expression: "If you want to know, you can join the Restorers and brush up your reputation and see if they can tell you what the Magic Empire was like a thousand years ago."
"The people in the Council of Mages can also speak for themselves. After all, they are now members of the orthodox magic system." Duan Qing's sighing expression became more obvious as he climbed up the stairs with the magic broom jumping in front of him. A few points: "In their descriptions and countless magic documents I have seen, I have seen a lot of what the magic tower should look like. However, I have to admit that the scene in front of me is the most consistent. The kind I expected."
"I start to get excited when I talk about magic - where did the former swordsman king who served as my teacher go?" Then Xue Ling Huan Bing made a complaint-like voice: "There are so many testimonials in the world of magic. And an attractive place?”
"Because it's a new world that I've never been exposed to before."
Opening his eyes wide, Duan Qing reached out and took a magic book that flew by him into his hands: "Although I have been exposed to many virtual worlds in the past, let alone my identity and involvement, just adapting to it. New virtual models have exhausted all brainpower, let alone studying their history and system design philosophy."
"You don't have to play so tired." Xueling Huanbing, who also stretched out his hand and wanted to take another magic book, then let out a cry when the book danced around his arm. He whispered angrily: "The fourth-generation virtual technology has embedded century-old evolution into the entire world. Both game rules and world rules will undergo various evolutions. I want to study all the elements under this situation." , itself is impossible.”
"I do know how far your virtual technology has developed in the three years since I was gone." Duan Qing casually turned over the pages in front of him, and then released the book in his hand as if letting go. In the air in front of him: "But people are always curious. People are more interested in things that they have never studied before than things they are familiar with."
"This is the 'adventurer spirit' we often talk about."
He turned his head and stood on the steps with his condescending gaze falling on Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was following him: "Converting curiosity into driving force is not only human nature, but also an essential quality for professional players. Just like the situation we are encountering now, there must always be a magician who can step forward in such difficult moments and use his own skills to solve the trouble at hand... Well."
"It looks like they're really in some trouble."
As if he had just noticed the scene below, Duan Qing silently retracted his mid-bragging words. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who noticed all this, then turned his head and followed Duan Qing's line of sight to notice what he had just pushed. Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman walked in with anxious expressions on their faces: "We can only go up by ourselves."
"Aren't you going to ask what happened?" Pointing to the scene where Ninglan stood up and faced the two players with a smile after dealing with Fula and Lorna just now, Xueling Huanbing, who stopped, looked confused. He looked at Duan Qing's back as he continued to move forward: "It seems like something unexpected happened."
"Just let Ninglan help them deal with it." He continued to move forward along the magic steps without stopping at all. Duan Qing's voice without looking back clearly reached Xue Ling Huanbing's ears at this time: "And I feel that no matter what kind of accident they encounter, they will eventually have to run over our heads to find a solution.”
"...Same." Recalling what he had seen when he woke up in the outside world, Xue Ling Huan Bing finally nodded his head: "Listening to that guy's previous tone and your description, we are all together The whole train was saved by this guy."
"He not only masters powerful magic skills including space magic, but also knows the endless sea and the Bridge of Miracles well." Duan Qing's figure seemed to speed up his progress and disappeared towards the top of the magic steps. Getting faster and faster: "Although he does not have the ability to know all things like the Violet Lord we met in the Violet Tower, he is undoubtedly the master of this area."
"Even if he is not the regional leader, he should still be a key guiding figure." He paused slightly at this point: "Of course, he is also the key to whether our journey can continue."
"Can we...can we continue traveling?" He stretched out his hand to wave another magic book that floated past his eyes. Xueling Huanbing, who failed again, responded with a helpless voice: "Even the train It’s all been ruined like that, even if there is still a way ahead of this safe haven, we can’t move on.”
"It seems to be the case so far." Without denying Xue Ling Huan Bing's view, Duan Qing's sighs also sounded little by little along with the slow and steady steps forward: "Looking at us from entering the Bridge of Miracles to now The entire process, both in terms of time and space span, is ridiculously large. If judged and considered from the perspective of a standard normal copy——"
"We should be nearing the end of the copy now."
Without saying any more words, the gray-robed magician whose eyes became serious then slowly moved forward in silence. Two figures one after the other were also floating and drifting between the stone steps. It flashed vaguely, and finally disappeared from the source illuminated by the dim light above. The mottled masonry walls shrink little by little as they rise, and finally the attic part of the tower, which is also circular but only half of it is left, appears in the field of vision of the two players, supporting each other as they walk. After arriving at the attic floor, they carefully observed their surroundings, and finally their eyes fell on the gray-black figure who was facing them sideways between the bookshelves at the far end with his hands behind his back: "That - "
"Ah, you are here."
In front of the curved bookshelf, which was so simple that only the magic book remained, a tall figure wearing a gray-black magic robe slowly turned his head. The same huge cloak and hood also covered this tall figure. The image that the incomparable figure should have was covered up, leaving only the magical fluorescence faintly coming from the hood flashing and jumping on the cover of the magic book he held in his hand: "I'm sorry, but your movements seem a bit slow. So I just kind of passed the time.”
"Our companion seems to have encountered a problem." So Duan Qing smiled and pointed in the direction the two people came from: "So we took care of it a little bit."
"Your companion."
The fluorescence under the hood flashed twice as the tall figure remained silent. It seemed that the magician who called himself Molnar was sensing something: "Well, the vital signs are normal, but the energy level is very low... ...It should be due to excessive exertion, just rest for a while.”
"Thank you for taking care of us." Understanding that the other party had checked everyone downstairs at that moment, Duan Qing performed a standard magic etiquette towards the other party: "My name is Linyuan Duanshui, please allow me to represent you again The Council of Mages and the Qingling Adventure Group would like to express our gratitude to you for saving our lives earlier."
"This etiquette is really interesting." There was no immediate response to Duan Qing's repeated thanks. Molnar, who seemed to be observing the two people in front of him, said his next sentence after a while: "It was you who just mentioned The newly developed etiquette of the Magic Council?"
"..."
A lot of information was derived from the other party's answer. Duan Qing raised his head and did not make any sound for a long time. It was not until Xue Ling Huan Bing standing behind him couldn't bear it anymore that he seemed to He showed his plain smile as if he had just reacted: "It's the Council of Mages, not the Council of Magic, Your Excellency."
"What's the difference between these two names?"
"Your Excellency, you have been in this place for a thousand years. There may be some things that you are not sure about yet." Duan Qing's replying voice still sounded calm and indifferent after he stopped Xue Ling Huan Bing from secretly tugging at his magic robe behind him. : "The Magic Council, and the Magic Empire it ruled, were destroyed thousands of years ago, Your Excellency."
"Oh? I've never heard of such a thing."
In the suddenly tense atmosphere around him, the tall magician who came forward answered with a somewhat strange tone; "It seems that I have stayed in this place for too long, and even the world has begun to abandon me." It exists.”
"Aren't you a member of the Magic Empire?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had not felt any hostility from the surface of the tall-skeletal gray-black figure in front of him, who had been maintaining tension, then asked tentatively: "Don't you Will you be sad about this?"
"How is it possible? The survival of the Magic Empire has nothing to do with me." The slender arms shrouded in the robes swung, and Molnar's voice seemed to have a bit of a smile in his answer: "Although they are The magic technology and magic resources we have are amazing, but they are not things that can be used by me, and they will not help me in completing my mission - ah, by the way."
"Speaking of which, you haven't officially answered my question yet." He raised his head, and the fluorescent light hidden under the hood seemed to reveal a pair of eyes looking directly at Duan Qing: "The Miracle Bridge What failure has occurred, and how prepared are the energy transmissions now?"
"We have never heard of anyone preparing energy transmission for this bridge." After thinking for a while, Duan Qing answered this question with another silence: "As for the Miracle Bridge itself … It’s very badly damaged and even broken in some places.”
"If you are referring to the place where you fell before, then you don't have to worry." Molnar waved his hand after hearing the sound: "As long as the materials and energy are sufficient, I can be responsible for connecting the broken bridge with this lighthouse. The connection between them is partially repaired.”
"Are you referring to space magic?" Duan Qing couldn't help but exclaimed: "Can such a thing really be done?"
"I said that the space around the haven is under my control."
Spreading his long hands to both sides, the tall figure answered with a hint of contentment in his voice: "I have been in this place for so long, I have even calculated the magic of all nearby space structures. As long as you change a few of its magical properties, you can make them undergo earth-shaking changes."
"Of course, except for those spaces that have been disturbed by elemental storms." The tall magician seemed to dance with excitement, but then he suddenly lowered his head as if he remembered something: "Endless I am not the only one who can resist the power of the sea. For thousands of years, it has encroached on many areas around the haven, and even the bridge deck I protect can hardly maintain it for a long time."
"The cross-sections before and after the lighthouse may be for this reason." Drawing this conclusion from the other party's explanation, Duan Qing nodded slowly: "But as long as you have enough materials and magic energy, you can make the bridge Are you recovering?"
"Of course, provided the energy is sufficient." Molnar also nodded his head: "But according to my induction and observation, the transmission of magic energy has been stagnant for a long time - is there something wrong with the terminal?"
"We don't know exactly what terminal you're talking about."
Looking at each other secretly with Xue Ling Huan Bing again, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "If you are referring to the City of Freedom, that city is suffering from disaster now."
"Free City?" Molnar showed Duan Qing's expected doubtful expression: "What is that?"
"The city was built under your leadership." Gradually understanding the current situation, Xueling Huanbing, who came forward, also explained: "To be precise, it's another you."
"The city of freedom, which is famous in the mainland, must be the result of the efforts of 'another you' to transport energy."
