"Yes, I arranged this rain."
Arriving in the white space used by Duan Qing to log in, the figure belonging to Violet also appeared in front of his eyes at this time. She looked like she was studying something and looked at the distant point of the empty and infinite parallel space. He nodded, and the elegant laughter he gave out also had a bit of playful meaning: "It's better to say that raining is normal, right? According to my understanding of the geographical environment around the world, the rainy season often appears on the grasslands. It’s on.”
"But the grasslands in other places don't have such towering peaks." It seemed that he was not surprised that the other party was able to show up here. The gray-robed magician who stepped forward sat down on the ground with his mouth curled up: " And have you never considered the feelings of the indigenous people? The metal mechanical life forms here cannot withstand such heavy rain."
"How is it possible? They are not ordinary mechanical life forms, but ancient mechanical bodies with almost unlimited time, life, and mouth-watering knowledge." They were groping for something unknown, and Violet's back was turned to Duan Qing's slender arms kept fluttering back and forth just as she was floating in the air at this moment: "Even if we don't consider the common sense issues that we should have, the impact of this kind of climate should have been within their processing range. ?”
"...You are right about this." Nodding his head helplessly, Duan Qing sighed and agreed: "But I don't know whether it is because of previous human habits or to protect his body from being damaged in accidents. King Puli VI still chose to take shelter from the rain - which seemed very surprising to others."
"I'm more interested in the so-called adventurers who have come here in the past few days."
The movement in her hand paused, and Violet, who had her back to Duan Qing, looked up at the boundless white space: "Do they also have such an internal space? It's really a convenient thing."
"This is just a system... no, it is a space temporarily lent to us by this world. We can only pass through like this. There is no way to use this place for anything." Duan Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, supported his arms. Chin: "Unlike you, the great magician, you can create a private space that can even accommodate something as big as a magic tower."
"That's not my space, it's just that I 'borrowed' it from the void space." Violet snapped her fingers at Duan Qing without looking back: "It's like...well, it's like It’s just like the space in front of you. It’s empty, boundless and no one has claimed it. If I just find a place to put my magic tower, no one will care about it, right?”
"Hey, hey, don't tell me that you want to borrow this place from me." Duan Qing, who was wide-eyed, said hurriedly: "It's not a question of whether we agree or not. What if it happens because of your temptation? If there are other accidents, then I-"
"Okay, okay, how could I do such an outrageous thing? My lovely magic apprentice?"
She let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell, and the floating state of Violet's body, which she gave up dancing with her hands, gradually began to disappear: "Or you are just worried that I will do such a 'rule breaking' thing, so you Did you come to this place specially to spy on me?"
"As your apprentice, I don't have the power to stop you from doing anything." Facing Violet's charming smile when she turned around, Duan Qing put on a look of headache: "But As the envoy who led the grassland tribes to successfully break into the sacred mountain, you have indeed not appeared in front of them for a long time, and the outside world is now worried about your condition."
"You want to take the opportunity to spy on my research results, right?" Swaying Nasia's slender and slender legs, Violet walked up to Duan Qing, stroking her long black hair: "Fountain of Elements The secrets of the furnace, the secrets of the ancient adventure era that built the Holy Mountain here... I have indeed been exploring these things during the recent period."
"With the power of the void in my hands."
Empty fluctuations split apart around the two figures in the boundless space, leaving a dark trace on the curtain that was originally filled with white. Violet, who was showing this trace, then smiled coquettishly. He retracted his arm, and at the same time blocked the endless void particles seeping out of the cracks on the other side: "Since entering your unknown space, I can also follow the rules of space coordinates to find this place again, and I have to say , this undisturbed space is really convenient, hehehehe... Oops! What are you doing?"
"As an apprentice, I can only protest to this extent."
Duan Qing, who retracted the fingers that flicked his forehead and finally stood up without holding back, crossed his arms towards Violet who was covering her head and retreating: "After all, this is my territory. … Do you great magicians also have the habit of breaking into other people’s homes at will? And you don’t knock on the door?”
"You are my apprentice. Isn't the apprentice's home my home?" Violet pressed her forehead with both hands and shrank her head with an expression on the verge of tears: "You have the heart to refuse someone?" Homeless tutor’s request for lodging?”
"This is not a place for receiving people. If possible, I don't want to just stay here." Duan Qing sighed deeply: "And you are not homeless, even if the Magic Tower is not there yet To repair it, you should have somewhere to go."
"That underground place full of gears? Or the spring of elements further down? It's fine if I just work there, but how could I always live there." Violet put aside her hands like a coquettish girl and rushed towards her in a girlish manner. Duan Qing complained: "Moreover, there are space faults and warping passages there. Even a professional dragon like Fula is helpless. Aren't you afraid that your dear mentor will accidentally leave and never come back?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Faced with the other party's verbal attack that was completely inconsistent with his own style, Duan Qing finally gave up the idea of arguing with reason: "You can stay here if you want to. Come here, as long as you don't mind the poverty and shabbyness here."
"You don't mind here, why should I mind?" Violet, who also regained her usual elegance and maturity, straightened up, smiled and shook her head: "As a guest, it's very unusual to dictate to the host's 'vacant room' It's an inappropriate behavior, and as a magic tutor, I have no obligation to pass on my taste in life to my students."
"According to what you mean, can this space really be transformed? I have never discovered the system - ah no, this world has given me such authority."
"That's because you don't have that kind of consciousness yet - the consciousness to study the rules of this world. You, including other adventurers, are just accepting the gifts that this world gives you."
There was a red flame burning at her hand again. In this way, Violet once again changed the endless whiteness in Duan Qing's eyes: "The boundless space is simpler than the boundless grassland. Since humans in the ancient adventure era can Is there any reason why you can’t transform the grassland?”
"...That's what people in the ancient adventure era did. My companions and I don't have that kind of ability and knowledge." Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "Few modern people can do it. Right?"
"Really? But there are already tribes on the grassland that can do this." Violet shook her finger as if teaching a student: "For example - what the Hulun tribe did, You should still remember it.”
"..."
The moving rock and soil plate that was much larger than the former floating island quickly appeared in his mind. Duan Qing couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Speaking of which, we seem to have never received any news from them. As mentioned before, Fortunately, it seems that they have no intention of abiding by the agreement they made to march to the Holy Mountain together and form an alliance."
"Want to know why?"
"——No, I can still guess it."
Raising his palms in a gesture of rejection, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "But now that things have developed to this point, their existence and choices are no longer worthy of attention."
"Why, do you really want to use the sacred mountain as your base to develop and rule the entire grassland?" Violet shook her weak arms at Duan Qing with a bored look on her face: "You can't even think of using these despicable vulgarities. I have to do my job to seize the precious time I got after finally being resurrected."
"Of course I have no interest in these things. I have come to this point purely for self-protection." Duan Qing began to rub his head vigorously: "After all, there is no peaceful and stable environment, no matter what type of research you want to do. In vain, such as the threats still hidden on the sacred mountain... By the way, do you have any clues about them? "
"That group of adventurers who pretended to be powerful? Of course I remember them."
A cold look flashed in her eyes for a moment, and Violet replied in a low voice: "Indeed, even if I can destroy their control of the sacred mountain, their existence is still a big threat to me and my research. ,but--"
"I have also searched for their existence during this period, but I have not received any feedback." The lowered head was slightly covered by the long black hair, and the white fingers of the girl-like great magician were also circling between the chin. Dong: "Including the metal structures and complex corners inside the sacred mountain, none of them escaped my magical induction, but -"
"So they are no longer within the normal range of space?"
"That's not necessarily true. After all, this territory once belonged to them. They must know some hidden methods that we still don't know."
The magic light in her hand began to outline a cone-shaped mountain structure in front of Duan Qing. Violet waved to Duan Qing: "And this is why I deliberately caused this heavy rain."
"Don't underestimate the power of rain. The string of fate it touches may be louder than you imagine."
***************************************
Just as Violet said, a series of effects of the continuous rain soon appeared in the temporary camps around the ruins of the floating island. Players who were unable to carry out repair work due to heavy rain saw that There was no anxiety at all due to the delayed progress of the project. Only those who were building guild stations and sending expedition teams for exploration and reconnaissance showed their curses and sad faces in front of the pouring rain. Different from the relaxed appearance of more and more players gathering in the camp to take shelter from the rain, laughing, drinking, eating meat, and bragging to each other, many guild presidents and experienced group leaders have begun to pay attention to the happenings around the camp. , because the rain curtain brought by this kind of heavy rain is almost the best cover for wild attacks in ordinary battles and adventure experiences.
However, the first threat that appeared in front of them was not a possible attack in the dark, but the feet that began to change due to heavy rain.
"In addition to the metal ruins covering this sacred mountain, the rest are floating soil blown from unknown places over thousands of years. They cannot last long under such heavy rain."
Reporting the situation in front of him in a low voice, Gedman, who had returned from a reconnaissance mission, took the lead in erecting his large shield covered with mud in the camp where Duan Qing and others gathered: "It is impossible for there to be trees and vegetation in a metal waste mountain. , let alone soil and water conservation, the mountains around us may be about to collapse until only their skeletons are left."
"The current territory is basically supported by the soil brought by the ruins after the Floating Island fell. Most of the bricks and stones that were moved here belong to the ruins of the original Floating Island." The other side is in charge. Duan Qing, who maintained the bonfire, reported what he knew: "The K-series area above our heads is now facing the same problem. Maybe soon, those rolling mudflows will come from that direction."
"That means a disaster is coming, right?" He pressed his forehead and let out a sigh. Xueling Huanbing, who had also returned with him, took the lead in putting his rain-covered cloak beside the campfire: "I didn't expect what this camp would face after the war. The first major threat actually came from the sky."
"With so many of the top players on the continent and the support of magic, there is no problem in resisting this level of mud flow." He shook his head with a look on his face and filled the wine bottle with the sword lying on the side. Beidong tilted his head and smiled: "The problem is after this: because of the heavy rain, the mountain has lost its soil cover, and the mountain may soon reveal its true face, and by then our development environment will become more... Be extreme."
"There is an issue that deserves great attention."
Sitting in the corner, he interrupted everyone's sighs. Xu Yu Liushang, who had been closing his eyes in meditation, opened his eyes at this moment: "We have encountered such a problem, and the Avengers hidden in this place must have also encountered it. When it comes to such a problem, their secret hiding place is probably exposed now."
"Yes, this is a very good opportunity." Already aware of the result, Gedman turned around and pointed outside the tent for shelter from the rain: "But no matter from the weather point of view From the perspective of terrain destruction, it is impossible for us to take any action."
"This level of obstruction is nothing at all!" He was answered by Asahi Dongsheng, who was still lively and unscrupulous: "Give me a few people, and I can go out for a spin now! I guarantee that the entire sacred mountain will be checked for you. Once again!”
"Go ahead and brag. If you can check the L series area, I will consider you a man." Duan Qing patted the other party's head angrily, and then showed a mysterious expression: "But I still have a weapon in my hand that Violet left for me."
"Maybe it can come in handy in this situation."
