"Have you been looking forward to it for a long time? Have you been itching for a long time? Yes, that's right! The grand 20th UEFA Cup competition finally begins today! Welcome everyone to the UEFA Cup competition! I am here today The host——"
The situation in the free world seems to be still changing, but the passage of time has not stopped due to anyone's will. The prologue of the UEFA Cup has finally begun with a sonorous step like an unstoppable and irreversible step. Powerful steps came in front of everyone. Over the past two decades, the same game period has almost become a habit for a generation of gamers. During this time every year, the audience has also begun to prepare for their own carnival, just as it is at the center of the stage they are familiar with. Like the host who kept waving flags and shouting, the excitement filled almost every cell of every virtual player.
However, it is inevitable that this ancient league, which has been sailing for a long time in history, finally has abnormalities that are different from the past, such as the unfamiliar face that the host has never seen before, and the familiar face that everyone used to have. But none of the veteran strong men were seen at the scene.
"It seems that we really didn't see those few people coming to compete... Could it be that they really gave up on the UEFA Cup this time, as the rumors said?"
"This is simply unimaginable. You must know that even the ratings of professional players are all certified and issued by the league. Without the performance of the league over the years-"
"Come on, this is too much to say! Without the certification of the UEFA Cup, don't they have the strength to kill all the invincible players in the world? Don't they have the qualifications to win the championship?"
"This is really not necessarily the case. Let's not talk about how many powerful masters we have hidden among the people. The resources that the alliance has used to support them in the past few years cannot be afforded by one or two guilds. ,them--"
"They actually dare not to come!"
In the main control room behind the scenes, where the live broadcast had begun, a white-haired old man in a suit and leather tie with an angry face was furious at the subordinates in front of him: "How dare they - really dare - —I’m so angry!”
"Don't be angry yet, Director Chu." One of the subordinates wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied in a low voice: "They... they may just be late..."
"Late? Can you use this kind of excuse to deceive a child to deceive an old man?" He pointed at the other person's nose and yelled. The veins on the white-haired old man's forehead seemed to be tangled with wrinkles: "Look at those... The seats they vacated! There’s not even a soul in sight!”
"Those are just the front row seats. There are still people coming to the back row seats representing their guilds." Another subordinate, who also lowered his head deeply, replied with a smile on his face: "And it's not the eight major guilds. They will all be absent, don’t you think Wings of Freedom are all here too?”
"Players all over the world know that they are ours!"
Almost wanting to jump and burst out, the white-haired old man known as Director Chu's formal clothes looked a little messy at this time: "Are we going to let everyone watch us beat ourselves? What is the difference between this and the unofficial championship? ?”
"It turns out there is no difference...ah no no no, we didn't say anything!" The low murmurs of several subordinates were later replaced by panicked denials under awkward smiles: "Don't worry, director, just wait a moment. When they come back, even if these guys leave without saying goodbye and plan to retire without saying a word, they will definitely not be able to escape our circle, right?"
"...I'm afraid they plan to break out of our control." Panting to calm down his voice like a broken bellows, the white-haired old man who turned his back was also filled with terrifying anger in his eyes that were as wide as copper bells. : "Now the public and public opinion are still on our side, and they can't make any trouble for the time being, but if there is something wrong that we don't know about... it won't work."
"We have to use some tough tactics." Having made a decision in his mind, the old man turned his eyes again with a few red bloodshot eyes: "Where are the prosecutors responsible for surveillance? Let them all come over."
"I want to convey the orders of the 'Committee'."
The silent undercurrent began to spread in all directions with the overwhelming popularity of the League Cup, making the already surging atmosphere of the free world even more boiling. The number of players active in the free world also became smaller at this moment. There was a lot of noise, making the originally bustling imperial capital Redkar become deserted. Strolling around the streets of the imperial capital that were different from the past, Ningyu Ninglan, who looked contented with her face, now had the opportunity to publicly display her beautiful figure in front of the public. The imperial nobles walking around and sometimes stopping to talk, At this time, they didn't pay too much attention to whether this woman, who looked like an ordinary maid, was passing by them: "Have you heard? The Alfawen family seemed to have been attacked yesterday, and there were heavy casualties in the family. "
"What? How could they—could it be that the Kolodar family did it? They seem to be very dissatisfied with the result that this emerging family can occupy a place in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, and they are planning how to frame them."
"Where did you hear the news? From the information I received, it is clear that the Anderwincher family covets the position of 'General Minister' they just obtained from His Majesty the Emperor, so they are deliberately trying to replace it... "
"What on earth is there to argue about with that Minister-General? Isn't it just an official position that His Majesty the Emperor has just set up independently for the nearly paralyzed Adventurers Association? Now that the Prime Minister and Amman Antel have been deposed, who is willing to take over this mess? ...Wait a minute, I seem to remember——"
"Did you also take care of those Wings of Freedom people?"
Having gone through what the imperial nobles were talking about in the streets, the codeword Ninglan arrived in front of what looked like a newly built tavern on the edge of Lomari City. A player standing guard at the door also raised his voice. He took off the iron helmet that concealed his face, revealing the square face of Cangyun Barrier: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I've received the news too. His death was really miserable."
"Unlike those NPCs, the death of the player is not a real death." Turning around quietly, the dagger Hidden under Ninglan's skirt, which still smelled of blood at this time, also moved because of the dance of her skirt. Revealed for a moment: "Even if all the emerging families they supported die, as long as they are still here, they will eventually use their accumulated contacts to create more 'Aifawen', right? "
"Leave this part of the matter to us. Since this is also Lanshan's territory, leave the rest of the cleanup to us." Nodding his head to show his understanding, Cangyun Barrier grinned: "What do you want? Have you finished the video you want?"
"That's right, Ninglan needs to hand it over to Master Lingbing next." He changed his honorific title and said Ninglan stood up and saluted him: "During this period here, I would like to thank you." Ninglan is very grateful to the adults for taking care of her."
"I have always been envious, how come that guy has so many good hands under his hands." He lifted the opponent with both hands, and the eyes of Cangyun Barrier, dressed as a guard, couldn't help but look around the deserted street: "What if it were mine?" I also have good generals who can form an army by myself, so I won’t be so busy, I even have to do the work here myself.”
"That's because the president has a strong sense of responsibility, so he personally took over the task of garrisoning." Maintaining a capable and decent demeanor, Aiyu Ninglan's delicate smile was gradually hidden in the shadow of her short hair: "Also Fortunately, the terrestrial veins of the Imperial Capital have been activated for the last time, so it is much easier to establish a connection with the void, otherwise the president and Ninglan may not be able to come back at such a fast speed."
"No matter how fast we are, we can't catch up with the opponent." Standing on the spot, Cangyun Barrier shook his head slightly: "The League Cup has already started, and the number of people on Imperial Street has dropped sharply, which is proof of its strength."
"It is precisely because of this that our attack went so smoothly." The laughter became lighter, and the secret language Ninglan looked sideways at the tall red brick wall in the distance: "His Majesty the Emperor also supports our actions and Action, after all, he knows in his heart who is on his side."
"Not long after, this news should spread throughout the free world."
The words of Code Whisper Ninglan have not become reality in the subsequent development of the free world. The eyes of players in the entire free world are still focused on the League Cup competition that has already begun. The battle as the opening game also follows the free world. The appearance of two heavyweight guilds, the Wings and the Sword of Justice, officially kicked off the game world created by the virtual server. There is no way to watch the game. At this time, Duan Qing is also in a dark and huge library. The seemingly endless bookshelves and the void at the end of the boundary are also surrounded by the quiet seats. , surrounding the gray-robed magician holding a book in his hand, added an ethereal atmosphere to the area: "Lapis Lazuli... Lapis Lazuli... Ah, I found it, the origin of this stone is -"
"Hey, we've reached this point, why are you still idle?"
The voice belonging to Qian Zhihe suddenly sounded behind Duan Qing, and the little hand waving the staff was clenched into an angry fist: "Stop studying your alchemy! There's going to be a fight outside!"
"Counting you, three people have come to tell me about this today." After picking out his ears, Duan Qing looked up at the other party expressionlessly: "What's the use if I know, there's nothing I can do Go out and watch the game.”
"Who asked you to watch the game! I didn't want to watch the game either!" The red-haired girl's voice was a little anxious: "More and more people are watching the game, which has caused the commotion we made before. It’s all suppressed! What should we do now?”
"Of course, just do whatever you want to do." Shaking his head and laughing, Duan Qing returned his attention to the ancient book records in front of him: "Besides, how did you know that all the commotion we made before was It’s no use?”
"Then, when does our side start?" Putting on an extremely curious expression, Qian Zhihe's face came so close that Duan Qing had to lean back and avoid it: "I, I can't wait to see them. He looks shriveled up."
"They will definitely not come to participate. How can you see their expressions?" Duan Qing had no choice but to push the other person's upper body away. Duan Qing replied with a wry smile: "Just do our own thing peacefully." Okay, you don’t need to worry about the rest... How is the situation over there at the Shenshan Mountain?"
"There's still no movement, and the Avengers don't seem to be planning to fight during this critical period." Qian Zhihe, who relaxed his struggle and rested his arms on the ground in front of nothingness, blinked and replied, "Sorry I also deliberately made trouble with Nifeng leisurely in the camp, deliberately pretending to be about to fight, but in the end they still didn't make any move... Well."
"Are they really gone?" The red-haired girl slapped her forehead, her expression full of disbelief: "Maybe they also went to participate in the competition?"
"How is it possible? Both them and those guys from the Templar Knights are a group of shady people." Duan Qing continued to shake his head helplessly: "There is no possibility of them showing up in the League Cup without them coming to us. The possibility of secret sabotage is high."
"Yeah! It seems like this is really the case!" Qianzhihe jumped up in surprise: "Then we still have to hurry up and arrange it! No, no, I have to call more helpers over -"
"It's not your turn to worry about this matter. They have already prepared it." Looking at the back of this energetic little girl with a smile on his face, Duan Qing then moved his eyes to the other side: "You Okay, Your Excellency Shadow Mage."
"I did a little research on the records regarding this disc."
In the red-haired girl's surprised look, the figure belonging to Gardevoir gradually appeared at the end of the void library. She looked very far away at first, but the next moment she appeared in front of Duan Qing wearing a black gauze. In front of the two of them: "This disc is indeed part of the ancient heritage. The magic gems embedded on it can exert effects beyond ordinary people's imagination. However, for some unknown reason, these effects cannot be fully exerted."
"Well, maybe I know the reason."
"oh?"
Facing Duan Qing's answer as he scratched his cheek, Gardevoir, who was floating on the ground, asked curiously: "Speaking of which, you have never explained the origin of this disk - where did you get it?"
"You may not believe it." Looking at Qianzhihe on the side, Duan Qing seemed to have lost his intention to hide it anymore: "This disk came out of my body."
"Xiao Qianya happened to be beside me at the time."
