Oops, was it discovered?
Too bad luck? Didn't you read the almanac when you went out today? Even if this is all expected, getting beaten before the foot even steps is really——
Bang!
Complaints and lamentations flashed through Duan Qing's heart like galloping horses. A muffled sound of falling to the ground was heard in the distance of the dim waterway in front of the two of them. A dark and blurry figure was also splashing in the water. He climbed up hard against the pungent smell, rolled and crawled towards the far side of the underground waterway with extremely panicked footsteps: "——X's! He ran downstairs!"
"Chase! The second team is here to stay! The first team comes forward with me! Don't let the intruder go!"
"Where does this underground waterway lead to? The pier in Xicheng District? Didn't Erila go to the 'Sailor's House' to drink! Tell him not to come back! Take people directly to the pier to guard it!"
"Dare you break into our Jialan Prison? Today I'm going to let you know what it means to never come back - why is this place so smelly? Haven't you washed away the 'squid' you left last time?"
The sound of falling to the ground one after another, followed by a series of shouts, sounded in front of the underground waterway, accompanied by the unique metallic crisp sound when armor collided. Several well-armed guards looked bright and bright. Then they broke through the shackles of the white light above with their own extremely ferocious expressions. The leading guard then looked towards the dim depths in front and behind the passage for a moment while muttering to himself in disgust: "This way! Quick! "
"--call."
Watching these sturdy and well-armed guard teams disappear at the end of the passage, Duan Qing, who was hiding in a dark corner, exhaled after a long while. He stretched his head and tried to observe the front until he confirmed that there was no one else around. After threatening, he pulled Fula, who was blocked by him, out of the darkness: "I don't know whether we are lucky or not, but in short, someone seems to have lured a group of people away for us, and helped us open the door by the way. road."
"The way you humans act is really weird." Not paying attention to Duan Qing's rude behavior of forcibly holding her back, Fula, who was also wearing a cloak, just looked at the other person's profile with interest: "Including you—— Do you think those so-called powerful guards just now can really threaten my safety?"
"This is the subconscious reaction. After all, we are companions." Standing up straight, Duan Qing looked back at the opponent's face with a wry smile: "In theory, wounded soldiers need to be taken care of in our human team. On the one hand, this habit will not be changed for a while, not to mention that we cannot make a big fuss, and these humble humans will not be able to take action from a noble dragon woman..."
"Okay, okay, no need to say more."
It seemed that she was accustomed to Duan Qing's series of flattering behaviors. Furla, who was pointing upward, still looked as calm as ever: "Go up?"
"Of course, this is a reward from God." He smiled and shook his head. Duan Qing, who was also looking at the opening above, lowered his voice: "Can you feel it?"
"There seems to be no problem with the information left by humans just now. There are indeed several life forms above as guards." The golden light in her eyes flashed away, and Fulla quietly closed her pupils: "They are My space sensor keeps moving back and forth, and the frequency is much lower than before, probably because the number of people has decreased."
"Although the vigilance has increased, has the focus of attention changed?" So Duan Qing also curled up his lips and came to the conclusion: "Very good, then just accept this opportunity."
"This, and then—this!"
A gleam of magic flashed in his hand, Duan Qing waved his arm upwards, and then amidst a burst of exclamations from the side of the entrance that had been hit by the commotion, he jumped with Fula. The fierce force passed through the shackles of the hazy white light. The speed that exceeded common sense brought about a blurred vision. Only the starry sky that was still shrouded in darkness could still be brought to the surface. After that, the gray-robed magician with stars in his eyes could barely make out. He then struggled to look back at the outline of the building that was disturbed by the bait created by his earth magic: "——Jialan Prison? What is it used for?"
"I can smell the smell of blood from it." As Duan Qing moved quickly behind the high wall, Fulla's voice sounded low in the ears of Hengfeng Flying: "I can't tell whether it's human blood or not. Sure, but I can smell the smell of blood as early as in the underground waterway, and it should extend from there."
"That's it." Then Duan Qing's eyes became a little darker and heavier: "The person who escaped just now is probably some poor guy who was imprisoned inside."
Silence became the main theme between the two of them. It seemed that this topic had become difficult to continue. The sound that broke through the air then flashed across the rooftops one after another with Furla's continuous jumps, and soon the The vague outline of the road stretched into the distance: "...Okay, it should be safe here, let me down."
"We should hurry up." Fula, who did not listen to Duan Qing's words and answered the other party, still maintained a high-speed movement: "In this case, the probability of being discovered will also become smaller. You only need to tell me the direction. That’s it.”
"Go along the road Maggie told us just now and stop when you see the U-shaped street." Following his own feeling to roughly identify the direction, Duan Qing hurriedly reminded the other party in a low voice: "According to the previous information, There must be a lot of people there, we can only find a way to sneak in."
"It seems that you still trust the human who called herself the Queen of Darkness just now." She sighed in a low voice, and the next moment Fulla put down the gray-robed magician caught under her dragon's claws: "Here we are. let's go."
Feeling the solid ground under his feet and pressing his forehead, Duan Qing overcame the dizzying feeling after a while. He looked up at the familiar streets and the hustle and bustle surrounding this area. The crowd coughed and put away the strange looks they received at once: "Ahem! Then -"
"I don't know how you ended up here, but please don't jump in line."
A low warning sound then appeared in Duan Qing's ears. The gray-robed magician looked back and saw a player-looking person slapping Duan Qing's shoulder with an unkind expression, and then pointed to the crowd of black magicians ahead. Long queues for huts: “No matter who you are, queue-jumping is strongly condemned.”
"oh oh."
All the lines he had prepared were choked back into his mouth. Duan Qing, who had been stunned for a long time, finally remembered that he was still pretending to be an NPC: "Sorry, then we-"
He took two steps to the side and took Fula, who had returned to silence, to the far side of the crowd. The long team then moved forward for half a minute after the commotion disappeared, in front of Duan Qing. Showing endless despair: "It is amazing to see such an orderly scene in a place like Freedom City, but... is the Black Magic House so attractive?"
"This little brother...ah, no, it's this gentleman." He looked left and right at the crowd crowded near the U-shaped alley, and finally focused on the man who was also squatting in the corner of the street. Another thin player who was not involved in the queue asked: "Can you tell us what you are doing here?"
"New here, right?"
Blushing out subconsciously, the player then looked up and down at Duan Qing's appearance. The fact that he didn't find the ID name and the slender figure following Duan Qing made the player involuntarily straighten his face. The figure and the tone when he spoke again became polite: "Outsiders, everyone here is a visitor who wants to visit the black magic cabin. Although in our eyes, the owner of this cabin is no longer suitable to continue to use 'black magic'." Magic' is the word to describe it."
"They are all here to ask for signatures." Faced with the doubts in Duan Qing's eyes, the player then pointed to the long end of the team: "Shadow Mage Gardevoir is a famous weaver of destiny and soul. Master Magic, her predictions are the most accurate in the entire continent. As long as you pay a reasonable fee, you can get answers to any fate you are about to encounter."
"That's it, fortune teller." He clapped his hand pretending to be confused, but the shock in Duan Qing's eyes was not fake at all: "The fate weaver can now reveal the fate to ordinary people at will? Others Do weavers allow this?"
"So I said you need to pay a reasonable fee." The player who answered smoothed his spiky hair: "The asking price of the Black Magic House is very high. If the calculation is an unfortunate fate, you want If you want to save money and avoid disaster, the fees that need to be provided will be even higher. That astronomical figure... I'm afraid it will scare you to death."
"I am a traveling businessman, and money is not an issue for me."
Duan Qing patted his chest in a pretentious manner, and took the opportunity to hide his emotions within the established image: "If the other party is really so talented, why don't you go in and give it a try?"
"I'm waiting for my girlfriend. She got to the front of the queue early in the morning." The player pretended to yawn, smacking his lips and replied: "I can't get up as early as her, so I just I can wait until she comes out alone. Although I don’t know what the result will be, I hope it won’t be like the last time where I had to go through life and death to fill the hole... Ahem, do you two also want to go in and have a look?"
"Of course, I'm here." Glancing in the direction of the dragon lady behind him, Duan Qing then patted his chest and replied, "There is such a magical thing in this city. Please let me try it."
"I know a few people who can help you line up in the front row." With a mysterious look on his face, the player then quietly pointed to the front of the team and said: "Of course, the price the other party wants is very high. If If you can afford it, or offer something valuable in exchange, then this matter will be easier to handle."
Scalpers.
With this word flashing through his mind, Duan Qing continued to ask unmoved: "Oh? What is the so-called valuable thing?"
"Of course it's high-end weapons and equipment, top-quality magic gems, and magic scrolls of level seven or above are just fine." He listed a few things skillfully, and the player's expression when he came closer looked very familiar: "Don't worry, we The people here know their stuff very well, and there’s nothing we don’t recognize unless you can pick it up.”
"A magic scroll of level seven or above must be sold for at least several thousand gold coins in the City of Freedom." Duan Qing's eyebrows sank slightly: "Your business is so authentic?"
"After all, this is a famous resort, so the asking price will naturally be higher." He coughed twice unconsciously, and the player's eyes also became a little twinkling: "But you must believe in one sentence: you get what you pay for. , as long as you can afford the price, you will definitely be satisfied with the final result.”
"...Okay." Duan Qing lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied with a smile: "Then I will give you...a clue."
"clue?"
Blinking his eyes, a trace of doubt flashed across the face of the player who didn't know why. Duan Qing, who looked up at the night sky, acted like an outsider. After a long while, he replied in a cryptic manner: "In In the North Sea of the Free City, near the corner of the Limpola River, there is an unknown underground ruins, which are rumored to contain countless mouth-watering treasures..."
"Hidden, hidden mission?" He was just stunned for a moment before reacting. The passerby player who almost jumped up suddenly suppressed his excitement: "No, I seem to have heard about that ruins. , it seems to have been jointly developed by the big guilds that control the City of Freedom."
"Do you want to know what that rumor is? In the story I know, it is the place where the first twelve thrones of the Free City made a contract." Duan Qingna continued to introduce with a mysterious face, hiding under his hood His eyes also glowed with a breathtaking brilliance: "Not only the twelve people of the first generation throne, but even the first generation city lord who bestowed these candidates for the throne, that is, Molnar himself, has also been to that place."
"Yes, is it Molnar who presides over the lighthouse in the Endless Sea?" This time the passerby player really jumped up: "This group of big guilds is so shameless! They previously guarded the ruins and refused to let them in, and now they Guard the Bridge of Miracles and prevent them from entering! No, I have to find someone to stab them together!"
"...I seem to have said something out of control."
Duan Qing muttered secretly in distress, and then straightened up again in a pretentious manner: "This clue should be the adventurer's favorite clue, right? Is it worth the high price?"
"Of course it's worth it." He chuckled absently twice, and the player who just wanted to run away also came back with an embarrassed look on his face: "As long as what you said is true, this hidden mission...ah No, this clue is definitely enough to pay for it.”
"Just wait, I'll go find someone for you." He glanced at Duan Qing and Fula for the last time, and finally gritted his teeth and turned to the front of the crowd: "If there is really no other way - hey."
"Isn't it just a scalper's ticket? Just treat it like I, Mr. Sky, paid it for you."
