"Zitori Zitiao, I'm Aoki, can you hear me? Phew...it's so hot here, I feel like my ears are about to melt off."
Sitting cross-legged on the top of the dune slope, the gray-robed magician who was resting barely used his primary frost magic to resist the oncoming hot wind. Still sweating, he fanned gently with the help of the secret language Ninglan next to him. Liangfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice to the magic communication stone in his arms: "Answer if you can hear me. Freya doesn't give us much rest time. If we delay it any longer, we will - "
"Holy shit, you're finally willing to reply! We've been calling you for a long time!"
Before he could finish his words, the answer from the magic communication stone in Duan Qing's arms suddenly rang: "You didn't respond when I called you just now. Now that you are busy, you have made some noise... Hey! Were you there just now? Is there a big commotion in the Gobi north of the empire?"
"——Huh? How do you know?"
"You ask how we know this? Everyone in the free world should know it by now!"
An increasingly clear voice came from the long-distance real-time communication established by magic energy, and the tone of the shouting became more intense: "The people over there don't know how to arrange it, and they are actually free Magic images were played in taverns in major cities in the world! Your car battle just now was recorded and broadcast live for all the drinkers to see! This is big news now!"
"Isn't this great? Let the players appreciate my heroic appearance."
Holding the magic communication stone for a moment, Duan Qing's right hand, which was wiping sweat from his forehead, began to move again: "The battle just now was too chaotic, and I didn't notice where their camera positions were... Well, it should be on that train."
"That's right, judging from the footage sent back, the person staring at you should be on the train carriage." Among the noisy voices, the calm reply belonging to Goldman was the first to be heard back to Duan. Qing Erbi: "Although I don't know the reason why they did this little trick, but judging from the current feedback, at least their publicity effect should be completed."
"So my performance in this live broadcast should be pretty good?" Duan Qing, who curled his lips, then raised his own confident smile: "Aren't you still preparing for their performance in the opening ceremony of the UEFA Cup?" Are you worried about "Wonderful Performance"? Isn't there material now?"
"Dreaming! How is this on the same level?" Then the noise in the Magic Channel became more obvious: "How can a live broadcast in a tavern that was inexplicably created during the game compare with the heated discussion about the opening game of the League Cup? ?”
"The vast majority of players are now waiting for a response from us!"
Because Duan Qing and Xuyu Liushang and others previously posted challenge letters on major forums, the attention of the League Cup has naturally been raised to unprecedented heights. Countless players gathered around this grand event. While cheering for the 20th anniversary of the UEFA Cup, I have never forgotten to always pay attention to whether the "ghost" belonging to Duan Qing will really appear in the stadium he previously claimed. The eyes of every corner of the venue were gradually withdrawn. The official staff of the league who had been careful not to let the opening ceremony of the UEFA Cup be inexplicably disrupted then scratched their heads and looked at the curtain of the game that had successfully ended. They were also looking forward to the century. The players who fought off the field later returned to the game world with some disappointment, and then regarded the magic broadcast that took place in the tavern as the most heated topic of discussion: "Did you see it? The person above should be him, right?" "
"No, it doesn't look like it to me. Although the temporary modification of the speed car is very handsome, that person is obviously a magician. When did 'Sky Blade' play a magician?"
"What for? With the strength of the Sky-Breaking Blade, even if he plays a magician, he is still the strongest!"
"Okay, here comes another NC fan. Please take him out. Let's continue discussing the details of the broadcast just now..."
"It seems like there's no need to give in too much."
Holding a glass of wine, he sat huddled in the corner of a pub in the free world, trying not to attract attention. Then he crossed his slender legs and lowered his head: "Although it is definitely not as lively as the excitement outside, but this time you guys The commotion caused was quite big, and the people discussed it intensely."
"I also listened to what they were discussing for a while, and the biggest focus is on your identity." Jian Beidong's voice also sounded in the magic communication ball in the blue-haired woman's arms: "You know what I am referring to What happened at this critical time, everyone thought this was our response."
"This is definitely not the effect the other side wants. They definitely want to make me and my carriage look embarrassed and stumble." Duan Qing's voice then sounded after the sound of the communication ball: "This time it can only be said to be self-defeating. "
"The guy who took the camera back will definitely suffer, hehehehehe." Covering the corners of his mouth, he laughed involuntarily, and then he also put away the ease and pride in his words: "So what are you going to do, really put this Is an unexpected performance considered our response?"
"Of course not."
In the magic channel that gradually became quiet, Xue Ling Huan Bing's cold voice took the lead in suppressing what Duan Qing had just planned to say: "Since it was just an accident, it naturally cannot be included in our plan, and our counterattack has not yet begun. "
"How are the preparations for the venue going?"
The voice paused for a moment and then sounded again, and the question was obviously about a different target and object. The voice that sounded like a young man hurriedly sounded the next moment, and there was also a feeling of trembling in the voice: " Go back, go back, go back to the president! Everything is ready! You can start at any time!"
"Where are the others? Can you play?" Ignoring the youthful tone in the young man's voice, Xueling Huanbing asked the others: "Since they can do magic broadcasting, we can naturally do the same. No problem - how is the construction of the magic network going? Has it been negotiated with the Lord of Violet?"
"Of course the Lord of Violet supports us, but if you want to achieve the effect of their worldwide live broadcast, it is difficult for the Lord of Violet to support it alone. At least it must be approved by the Council of Mages..."
"Duan Qing?"
The cold voice obviously raised two tones, and Xue Ling Huan Bing transferred the final dominance to Duan Qing's head. However, the latter did not make any movement in the long silence of the channel. The last voice that sounded seemed to be also Full of panic: "Uh, um...I'm busy now."
"Duan-Qing!"
Like an overseer supervising the work, Xueling Huanbing's long voice raised three more tones: "Everyone is waiting for you."
"Yes, why don't you guys get busy first? I can join the party later..."
"What on earth are you busy with?"
Still dissatisfied with the other party's attitude at this time, Xue Ling Huan Bing finally began to ask about the other party's situation: "Where are you now?"
"You still need to ask? Of course it's the Land of Fire."
Looking up at Freya who was sitting not far away from him, still closing her eyes and concentrating, Duan Qingfu turned his gaze to the fiery red hell-like scene in the distance: "Don't you also know our whereabouts? Well, if you go further north from that Gobi area, what else can there be besides the Land of Fire?"
"...Need support?"
"We haven't officially set foot yet. We originally planned to wait until we rested before setting off."
Duan Qing, who waved his hand in the direction of Ciyu Ninglan and signaled him to take a rest, then sighed and replied: "It took a lot of effort to invite Qianzhihe's mentor, so we can't let others go in vain."
"Actually, I'm afraid that my trip will be in vain." Xue Ling Huan Bing exposed the other party mercilessly: "If you want to satisfy your curiosity, I will accompany you next time."
"I'm afraid there won't be a next time." Duan Qing took a deep breath and put away his magic ball: "The plan can start at any time, and I will seize the time."
"Trust me, I can make it."
Nodding in the direction of Dark Whisper Ninglan, who was also listening attentively, the gray-robed magician then walked in the direction of Freya with a serious face. As he walked, he reached out his hand again, and then took the piece that belonged to him. The ancient disc was placed in front of the other party: "I accept your suggestion."
"Is this the thing you mentioned?" After opening her eyes, Freya's eyes stayed on the disc in Duan Qing's hand for a moment: "Well, I can indeed feel some incomprehensible magic on it. Breath - according to you, it can transform the magic gems embedded in it into your special abilities?"
"The experimental results that can be obtained so far do include this effect." Duan Qing nodded his head: "Of course, I have not experimented with the conversion rate of temporary magic arrays and magic scrolls, or I have no conditions to do so. experiment."
"Then I will reluctantly help you experiment."
A smile escaped from the corner of her mouth, and Freya's hands gradually clasped on her chest: "The fire element here is very abundant, and flame magic gems can be found everywhere, so I will first give me a good quality magic gem, I’ll lend it to you for a while first.”
A translucent-looking magic gem rose up in response and gradually floated between the hands of the great magician. The same fiery red energy then began to gather in her spell, and finally turned into whirlpool-shaped magical threads. Entering the inside of the magic gem: "——Hu."
"Okay, let's try it."
Throwing the gem into Duan Qing's arms casually, Freya breathed a sigh of relief, while the latter screamed twice in pain because of the hot gem, and then quickly pressed it on the ancient On one of the grooves of the disc: "Open!"
"It does seem to be a little cooler."
Duan Qing stared closely at the red magic carvings that gradually extended from the inlay position to the entire surface of the disc. Duan Qing, who tightly grasped the edge of the disc with both hands, then moved his body in surprise: "'Flame Resistance Is the sexual talent taking effect?"
"After all, it is a simulated talent. It is impossible to be like a salamander, able to enter and exit high-temperature environments such as lava at will." Freya reminded the other party in a timely manner: "Don't forget it."
"I'm not that stupid." After putting away the magician disk, Duan Qing's face was no longer as embarrassed as before: "Do I look like the kind of person who likes to jump into lava and swim when he has nothing to do? ?”
"I just hope that when I deal with those elemental creatures later, I won't be scalded to death by magic like 'Fire Halo' when I come up."
Pointing to the bright-looking unknown creature that was slowly passing by at the far end below the dune, Duan Qing involuntarily exhaled a little of the hot breath he had inhaled. The mass of fluid composed of magma then became like a wandering ghost. It generally wandered back and forth for a while, and finally rolled towards the depths of the Fire Land and disappeared with rolling gravel. After winking at the secret language Ninglan, Duan Qing took the lead and jumped down from the sand dune where he was. No longer afraid of the high temperature, he also tried hard to overcome the blurred vision caused by the scorching heat and looked towards the unknown creature before. He cautiously chased it in the direction it was in: "——Anyway, go along the direction where it disappeared first. The chance of encountering other monsters should be lower."
"Fire elements do have a habit of fighting with each other. This may also be related to the instability of the fire element itself." Freya's explanation sounded in his ears: "This kind of 'character' is mostly related to fire. It will take effect on all living things, but it is not always correct.”
"I heard you introduce it before. There are also many swarming creatures in the Fire Land, and some of them are not even living creatures."
The boundless fiery red ground spread out in front of the vast desert accompanied by the heat flow that passed by his feet from time to time. From time to time, it was also accompanied by the sound of wind howling from distant volcanoes mixed with sand and dust. Duan Qing kept paying attention to the surrounding scenery. In these rising heat waves, I was looking for other targets that might cause danger, and I never let go of the question on my lips: "Is this one of the things that the Roland family has always been on guard against?"
"Yes, although these creatures generally require a large amount of fire elements to provide energy, it is difficult to survive without leaving here." Freya nodded her head and flew at a low speed according to the hot wind. She also kept looking around: "Creatures that can adapt to the unique ecology of the Fire Land and occupy a place here are not what we want to encounter, so——"
"It's better to avoid it if you can."
The terrifying sand howl appeared in the gaps between the volcanoes as Freya finished speaking. A huge dark red snake-like creature then crossed the edge of one of the gaps under the dark red sky. , the huge heat wave and the splashing sandstorm then completely obscured everything there when the oppressive black shadow fell to the ground again, and finally accompanied by the red heat flow with long curving trajectories and scattered slurry rocks. They disappeared together into the intertwined and falling reddish-brown curtains.
