"But I really didn't expect that the little battlefield scavenger I once had would now reach this status."
Among the people walking in the temporary camp, two conspicuous figures, Duan Qing and Qian Zhihe, one gray and one red, appeared. However, their identities and actions did not attract the attention of many other players and tribe members. Alert, and the magic light lingering around the two of them is like these chatting words, constantly dotting the quiet air passing through the silent ruins: "Remember when you went to the Imperial Capital, you also used the name of some mage When you appeared in front of us as a representative in the parliament...could it be that you were already in your prime at that time?"
"No way! I, I just went to Redcar on behalf of the Mages Council to rebuild the branch." His voice was not as calm and neat as Duan Qing's, and the red-haired girl who followed behind folded her hands in front of her. Rubbing: "After Redkar's branch is established, all affairs there will be on track, and the tasks I shouldered as the temporary representative have been completed, so -"
"So you didn't become the parliamentary leader of the Frei Empire." Duan Qing raised his eyebrows and looked back at the red-haired girl's face: "I thought we would have a backer when we went to the Frei Empire. You can find it.”
"If you really need our help with something, we can't be a little accommodating... Hello!" The voice became smaller and smaller, and Qian Zhihe, who was sipping with his head down, seemed to have just reacted. He shouted: "I, our Mage Council is a neutral organization! Except for the cause of repairing the mainland's demonic veins and rekindling the elemental fire, we prohibit members of the council from meddling in worldly affairs at will!"
"Oh, is it so?"
Duan Qing withdrew his playful gaze and squatted on the edge of the ruins in front of him again, sighing to himself: "Okay, let's assume that you have no desire to fight for power in the secular world, then what is the purpose of sending you here? What is it?"
"It's 'us'! It's not 'you'! Aren't you also a member of the Mage Council?" Qianzhihe clenched his fists and stretched his long and white neck forward: "Master Wiggins missed you. His name has been there for a long time! He said that if you still refuse to go back and see his old bones, he will kick you out as an 'apprentice' who has refused to show up for half a year!"
"Ah hahahaha, haven't you been out of the secular world for a long time?" Duan Qing grabbed the back of his head and made a dry laugh. Duan Qing also recalled the appearance of the skinny old man with his beard standing up in his mind: "The adventures along the way. The journey was so intense, and then I was trapped here in the Wind Continent for a long time... When the things here are done, I will go find him with the green stone wine."
"Then you'd better go back and take a look earlier. The Speaker's temper has not been very good lately." So Qianzhihe also crossed his arms and sighed: "As for the purpose of sending me here - is there any need to ask? "
She turned around, and her sight gradually coincided with the upward curve of the thick ridge of the sacred mountain behind the ruins. Duan Qing, who noticed this sight, then sighed and put away the actions he had just wanted to get busy with. The lavender magic light stagnated in the air like frozen water: "Of course it is coming to the spring of elements."
"We cannot confirm the true appearance of the Spring of Wind Elements now."
Pointing to the heights of the sacred mountain, Duan Qingfu buried his head again: "Violet has been trying to use her authority these past few days to study the secrets of the location of the concentrated energy center, that huge ancient Mechanical structures, as well as terrifying and mysterious spatial distortions...Why, does the Council of Mages also want to work together to study that place?"
"They don't have such good intentions, especially when this place has been occupied by the Lord of Violet." Qian Zhihe's voice became a little more cautious when he spoke again: "Because of the previous relationship with the Lord of Violet... relationship, there are many people in the parliament who are not in favor of a peaceful solution to this matter. They do not even recognize the identity of the former great magician who should have died in the empire, and plan to use force to remove the 'converted man from the void' Take back the occupied spring of elements."
"Oh, that's true." The movements of his hands paused for a moment, and a low groan sounded from under Duan Qing's figure who was immersed in work again: "Open this transmission channel and recruit the forces of the free world. At that time, I expected that these strange secular disputes would be brought together, and as the source of magic that magicians in the entire free world dream of, the Spring of Elements is attractive to the Council of Mages... What does the Council of Seven say?”
"Because the members are completely unable to gather together, the seven-member council cannot make a final decision." Qian Zhihe lowered his head and his voice became more depressed: "Because the water mage Christine... is missing, and the other members They are all on the road to fighting against the revival of the Magic Empire, so——"
"So I have to send you here in the end?"
Duan Qing's heart became heavier with his voice: " There are also selfish motives of some members of the Mages Council, right?"
"Even the children on the roadside have heard of the relationship between my mentor Freya and Christine." Tightening the staff in his hand, Qian Zhihe replied in a lonely voice: "The Spring of Elements itself is one of the possibilities for connecting to the origin of the world. Maybe you can find a stable passage to the void world here, so Teacher Freya also asked me privately, hoping that I can find some clues about her sister. .”
"I don't think this kind of thing can be handled by you alone...Why doesn't she come by herself?"
"On the one hand, it's because of the current pressure from the Magic Empire - Brother Qingshan hasn't paid attention to the outside world before, right? Now the fighting is really lively all over the world." The red-haired girl who raised her head and answered seemed to have recovered a little. Vitality: "On the other hand, there are currently some differences within the Master Council, and the opinions debated among several factions are not unified, so, so..."
"well."
Sighing softly, Duan Qing finally restored the brilliance of the magic runes on his hand: "So even the so-called 'noble magician' still did not break away from the control of secular laws in the end, especially when they After using the Sky City as your headquarters and occupying that seemingly invincible castle in the sky, the result of being 'engaged in a struggle for power' is inevitable."
"My mentor has been sending me to various parts of the mainland to perform tasks. You probably want me to stay away from these things." Qian Zhihe replied with a low expression: "It is precisely for this reason that the relationship between me and my mentor has never been so good. There are fewer and fewer of them, and many of the magical knowledge and magical skills that were once taught to me have also been neglected to practice..."
"Don't worry, Violet never hesitates to teach me the magic knowledge, although I'm not sure if this is the 'special treatment' just for me." The purple light burst out again in Duan Qing's hands, like The welding process also connected the metal lines at the bottom of the ruins: "Anyway, she won't be here during this period. I will open a small stove for you and reveal the knowledge of rune magic to you, at least teach it to the point where it can help you." I'm going to do my best to restore the positional defense system around this camp."
"Okay, okay!" I don't know what kind of picture appeared in my mind. Qian Zhihe's originally fair complexion turned as red as her hair as she hurriedly responded: "I heard that the Lord of Violet's Talisman Literary magic is very powerful, and my mentor once marveled at it! For example, if I can learn a little bit from Brother Qingshan, this kind of internal teaching——"
"Xiaoqian!"
An unexpected shout then sounded behind Duan Qing, causing the red-haired girl's steps to freeze in place once more as she was about to run over. A man who also looked like a magician also came next to her. The silhouettes of people passing by appeared behind them, and they walked through the rocks and came to the two people: "Finally found you! I thought you ran away again - huh?"
"Who is this?"
There was clearly an expression of suspicion and distrust on his face. The man in a gorgeous magic robe with a coat of arms embroidered on his chest shifted his gaze to Duan Qing in front of the girl, who looked back with the same doubtful eyes. Looking at each other, the next thing that sounded in his ears was the breath and expression of the red-haired girl who quickly calmed down after hurriedly adjusting her appearance: "Ahem, this is the temporary head of the grassland joint forces, one of the representatives of the Qingling Adventure Group... , just think of yourself as someone with the same status as me."
"Hello." Looking at the other party's uncertain expression, Duan Qing stood up and had to extend his hand to the other party: "Nice to meet you. You are - uh, you came here with Xiao Qian. A member of the Mages Council who has taken office?"
"That's right." His eyes kept flickering back and forth, and the man with the ID name Yudi on his head finally put on a smile that was uglier than crying: "I am one of the members of the Mage Council who came here, the Fire Mage. Freya's chief magic apprentice, walking red storm, agent of the blue, named assistant of the ruthless killer, is also one of the members of the temporary management committee of Sky City under the seven-person parliament, please bear with me."
"That series of titles... are they talking about you?" After blinking for a long time, Duan Qing's dumbfounded gaze gradually shifted to Qian Zhihe: "What kind of walking red storm, toilet paper agent, etc. of?"
"They are all nicknames given by those who have nothing to do!" Her face seemed to be a little confused, and the red-haired girl's words became a bit stuttering when she hurriedly shouted: "I, I'm just here During the battle, my temper was a little more impatient, and when I used those magics, the range was a little wider, so those guys..."
"We must maintain enough respect for our queen." The girl's anxious expression and movements were blocked behind, and the magician Yudi who stepped forward grabbed the voice and began to "rescue" Qian Zhihe: "You know you are now Who are you facing? Xiaoqian is a hero who can defeat thousands of people on the battlefield. She single-handedly saved countless people and magicians in the Battle of Tamlan! She is the highest-ranking member of the Mages Council. Player! A being who even salutes Luo Rigu Yan and his Wizard with three points when they meet!"
"Xiao Qian, there's no need to be too polite to this guy. There's nothing to respect about a guy who relies on NPC forces to get lucky and win the Fountain of Elements." Ignoring Duan Qing's strange eyes when he looked at him, the player turned around and said with a seemingly The voice that whispered, but could actually be heard by everyone, encouraged the girl: "I have seen many such players. I don't know how many similar characters were stopped at the door of our Parliament's Provisional Management Committee. They all wanted to talk to this person. Just like these guys, we take advantage of the opportunity to get close to you, but in the end, we beat them all out? You don’t have to be afraid—"
"I'm talking about this dear friend."
Feeling the volcanic momentum that was about to erupt under the posture of the red-haired girl lowering her head and clenching her fists, Duan Qing still couldn't hold back his thoughts of persuasion and survival: "I think you should stop talking, I - —”
"What are you doing? What do you want to do?" The male magician, who was protecting the girl like a chicken, turned around and yelled angrily: "Go away, go away, don't play any tricks! You still want to Teach our little Qian how to learn magic? Do you know which master our little Qian studied under, and what level of masters he usually comes into contact with? Do you need someone like you who spends all day digging in garbage to teach you?"
"Okay, okay, then I won't go to class." Duan Qing, who gradually dispersed the magic runes in his hands and glanced at the ruins next to him, smiled and shook his head: "I'll go repair another node first. You guys can continue chatting. ah."
"Humph." Looking at Duan Qing's slowly leaving figure, the magician man named Yudi turned his head proudly: "Okay, Xiao Qian, I have driven him away for you. This guy just now I actually dare to take advantage of you, and I even dare to use the excuse of 'magic teaching'... How did I choose the time to appear? Isn't it very handsome and witty - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hot!"
"I can't burn you bastard!"
The flames falling from the sky instantly enveloped the male magician, enveloping the magic shield he had been activating around him and his screams: "Very handsome? Very witty? Do you really think I asked you to stop outsiders?" Do you think you are my wife? Are you still called 'our little Qian'? Is this what you call me?"
"Stay away from me from now on! Otherwise I will bake you into a rock egg!"
After taking a few steps in the direction Duan Qing left, Qian Zhihe, who stamped her feet, still did not choose to catch up immediately. She said fiercely to the figure whose magic shield was almost burnt to black, and then With the sparks swirling around his staff, he flew towards the distance: "I don't know how you told the higher-ups that you actually got the higher-ups to agree to send you crooked melons to accompany me... right? They all went on vacation to enjoy the mountains and rivers! Call them all back!"
"In order to prevent me from 'accidentally' turning you into fire sticks in the future, I'd better teach you a lesson first!"
