"'Inhuman'? How could I possibly have such an attribute?"
It is January 14, 796 A.D. in the new calendar of the free world. The atmosphere of this day seems to be different from the past. The countless players walking up and down the temporary camp of the Holy Mountain are more hurried than before. Look. It feels like last night's hangover and partying never existed. In the scene where several players who came here were dismissed by Laura again, Duan Qing, who was sitting in the corner of the temporary camp, was also staring at the different atmosphere of the camp. He seemed to be doing nothing. Shi's eyebrows were tangled together like a serious judge, and the fingers raised to his ears trembled slightly as Violet's voice sounded in his mind: "You and I are both real human beings. , no matter what, I have to reiterate this.”
"I don't intend to deny this, but everyone thinks so, and when everyone's consciousness is unified into one point, no matter how false the content is, it may become true."
"The rhetoric of faith and unified will has long been proven to be nonsense on the free continent. Countless people who wanted to 'create gods' in the past history have proved this with their failures. These grassland tribes Soldiers should not follow the same ignorant path, and...do they really know the definition of 'inhuman'?"
"From the fact that you can still talk casually in my mind, I have unilaterally classified you into the group of 'inhumans'... Hey, hey, don't do anything! It's not unacceptable to not be a human being." , have we adventurers seen too few non-human races in the past time? Many of them are even controlled by humans!"
Shaking his buzzing head, the gray-robed magician closed his eyes as if in pain. One of the several figures extending to the back of Laura's tent in his field of vision quickly noticed one of them. Unusually, Duan Qing raised his hand to stop his attempt to stop training and move over: "I'm fine, just continue."
"...Is it really okay?"
"It's just that my mentor keeps making noises."
After sending the hesitant white-haired swordswoman back, Duan Qing, who was sitting on the rock on the hillside, still pointed his forehead with his finger: "Anyway, this may be just a coincidence. Your appearance and choice are the same as those that appeared hundreds of years ago. The choice of the last divine envoy there is very similar, so the possibility of being recognized as the new divine envoy is naturally very high."
"I understand very well how you want to comfort me, and I have no doubts about my origins." Violet answered with a sense of sadness in her voice: "But being possessed and used by me Nasia doesn’t think so. In fact, her existence is originally a very special category among the grassland tribes.”
"Maybe she really is a descendant of the divine messenger."
After sighing and saying this, Violet's breath began to become deeper, and Duan Qing, who was looking at the sky, also raised his hand and used the green wind energy condensed between his fingers. The energy was scattered into the air at will: "...Does she think so too?"
"Her identity has been suppressed, and I haven't heard from her for a long time." Violet's voice seemed distant when she answered: "If we can really prove her identity and inheritance, I won't." Would you mind returning this body to her?"
"Then what are you going to do? Go to the lighthouse in Molnar and go to jail again?"
"I'm only in jail for my body. Isn't there still your lovely apprentice here? As long as Molnar no longer interferes, my soul, ears and eyes can always be in sync with you. This is a pull that even fate cannot stop. It’s tripping, hehehehe.”
"Okay, okay, I already fully understand your loneliness."
Sensing some kind of low mood from the low laughter coming from the other party, Duan Qing shook his head and continued: "Let's talk a little bit about Emperor Frey: now it is almost certain that she still exists in the two worlds. On the Holy Mountain a hundred years later, the last divine envoy who appeared in front of the major tribes in the record should be Fleur who killed all the 'guardians' on the Holy Mountain and then went down the mountain to bring the final message."
"The historical data in the Void Library have finally shown consistent evidence in reality." Violet also sighed: "Although the record does not explain what method Frey used to defeat those guardians. , but considering the legendary strength of the great emperor, only she can achieve such a feat."
"Did Fleur really gain the ability to live forever? Through her original blood magic?" Duan Qing couldn't help but put his finger on his chin as if thinking: "According to legend, after she overthrew the Magic Empire and unified the Free Continent, she I rarely use my magical abilities, but instead start advocating martial arts and promoting strength and combat skills. Is there some connection?"
"There may have been a period like this in the Frey Empire at that time. After all, Redkar's fighting arena was established under such a trend." Violet replied with a smile: "But in the later period of the empire, there are still Even the royal family is pursuing magic in various ways, and my existence is proof of that."
"Then why haven't you learned blood magic? Even Lingbing knows one or two tricks like that now."
"Do you think the Council of Mages has no relevant information and research? This kind of magic, together with necromancy magic, curse magic, and void magic, is called forbidden magic. It is a subject that is impossible to spread and learn widely! What if I get infected with another one? , Fernando really won’t let me go!”
"In this way, there are indeed people who use this kind of magic in reality, and——"
The action of talking to himself was frozen as the tone of his voice stagnated, and Duan Qing's eyes gradually widened as he searched for memories: "Wait a minute, that person... the one who mingled with the tribe and almost penetrated our camp. Man, where did he learn this stuff?”
"If I hadn't been busy with the magic construction of the camp recently, I would also like to search all the inside and outside of the sacred mountain." Violet seemed to understand who Duan Qing was referring to at this time, and answered in a calm voice. Said: "There is a great possibility that the adventurer discovered someone's relics on the sacred mountain and learned these taboo knowledge from it without being discovered by the Council of Mages."
"Especially the spring of elements." Duan Qing nodded in agreement: "That is probably the only thing that can attract 'Eternal Life Fleur' to this place. She is probably because she wants to enter the elemental spring. Quan will have a conflict with those so-called guardians."
"Since she left this place alive, there should at least be traces left behind." Violet replied simultaneously: "Do you need me to scan the spring of elements now?"
"The device that suppresses the spring water is too huge. How can we find such 'traces' in a short time." Duan Qing shook his head and hesitated for a long time before rejecting the temptation before him: " And we’re about to leave soon, so let’s save the opportunity for another time, unless—”
"There are other pieces of evidence and clues."
The gray-robed magician said these words, and his eyes were once again placed on the Snow Spirit Huan Bing who was behind the tent. The latter, who had been paying attention to this side, then put down his sweaty movements and raised his sword vertically. He touched the ground in front of him: "What are you looking at? Have you finished talking?"
“Laura is still waiting to give you lessons.”
Pointing to several other figures who were also practicing beside her, the white-haired swordswoman extended her hand to Duan Qing, and a fiery radiance then erupted over the rocks on the far side in the direction she indicated, and with it, The Thousand-Fingered Crane's cheers spread out into bright and beautiful fireworks: "Yeah! I succeeded!"
"Not enough! The fire element energy is not concentrated enough!" Then a scolding voice from Laura came from that direction: "What's the use of breaking out once? The 'Nine Bead Chain' that Laura has seen can explode continuously in the end. Nine times!”
"Yes, yes! Xiaoqian will continue to work hard!"
"And you! Your movements are too slow! If you use the chain bow and arrow like this, the speed is not even as fast as an ordinary crossbow! Not to mention the firearms invented by you adventurers! Do you want to give up the belief you have always claimed? ?"
"...Is this the devil training passed down from the Roland family?"
Gradually approaching the edge of the training ground, Duan Qing, who was holding his arms, squinted at Qianzhihe and Baibu Wushuang, who were struggling under the girl's scolding: "Let's not talk about the effect, at least in terms of will. It’s got some training.”
"The two of them have just come here not long ago, and they haven't realized the horror of Laura training other people." Xue Ling Huan Bing shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course, they haven't realized the benefits. If they can really persevere, Over a period of time, there may be great progress that is difficult to estimate.”
"This is definitely not your original intention to drag the two of them into the water!" After looking at each other sideways for a while, Duan Qing couldn't help laughing and said: "Ignore Bai Bu Wushuang who is just joining in the fun, Xiao Qian was sent to this fire pit by you, You must want her to give up, right?"
"I have never said such things, please don't slander me." With a smile on his face involuntarily, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a serious tone: "Also, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. If you let me I found out that there were traces of your private teachings in her subsequent magic, let’s see how I deal with you!”
"The magic systems belong to the same sect. Any similarity is a coincidence." Duan Qing replied with a flat mouth: "If such a coincidence really happens, there is nothing I can do about it. Even if you lend me some courage, I will... Well, Forget it, this is not why I came to you."
"Why, do you have any more fantastic ideas?"
"Are you interested in another big adventure? We are now almost certain that Emperor Frey has appeared in the Holy Mountain. As the one who has the closest relationship with her, how could we not invite you to join us in this kind of exploration?"
"...I'm very interested, but I don't have time now. The game is about to start. If we don't rush over -"
"Hey you!"
Before Xue Ling Huan Bing could finish her words, a scolding came from Laura from a distance: "You're only here now? How late have you been?"
"Ah? Am I really on the training list?" Duan Qing pointed at his nose and replied dumbfoundedly in front of the aggressive Laura: "I'll forget it, there's a huge difference in our majors. …”
"No - okay!" interrupted the other party with her hands on her hips, and the girl Laura who came forward raised her chin in disdain: "Laura has heard this reason several times in the clan. A thousand times! Isn’t it just about alchemy and magic circles? Don’t underestimate Laura’s knowledge!”
"Ahem! Well, should we set off, captain?"
Using a loud voice to block Laura's scolding, Duan Qing looked back at the smiling Xue Ling Huan Bing next to him with an embarrassed face: "The opening ceremony over there should start soon."
"If I am absent, they will scold me to death if I look back."
*********************************************
"President, we are almost here."
At the same moment, a member of Jianghu appeared next to Duan Fenglei, who was standing near the high platform of the church district above the central square of Tania, the capital of the principality. He hurriedly reported to his president in a low voice: " According to the scheduled plan, please invite the president to take the stage."
"...Is that person here?"
"No."
After hesitating slightly for a moment, the Jianghu member answered Duan Fenglei's question in a low voice: "As you expected, the Sky-Breaking Blade has not appeared yet. Our people on the other side have confirmed that they are still stranded. On the sacred mountain.”
"...Hmph, that's fine."
He shook his head with his hands behind his back, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Duan Fenglei's mouth: "A monk who can run can't run away from the temple. If he really doesn't plan to come here, then I will send everyone to their side. "
"Get ready to start."
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man then said in a serious voice. Countless players and representatives of major guilds gathered in the central square below also spoke out as he moved his body over the edge of the high platform with his hands behind his back. There was a commotion, and the gazes that gathered turned into a substantial burden on the slightly stooped Chairman Jianghu: "——Sir Speaker, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and other adults."
"Thank you very much for your willingness to come to our grand event. I have kept you waiting for so long." With his hands behind his back and a low bow, Duan Fenglei said respectfully to the countless top dignitaries sitting here: "Everything is ready. ,if possible--"
"There is no need to be so polite. All the guests present are impatiently waiting." He waved his hand to interrupt Duan Fenglei's words, and Felicton, who was sitting in the corner of the crowd, stood up first: "Don't waste the extra time. Let us see with our own eyes what the quality of the grand event you promised to put in front of us is."
"good."
Duan Fenglei straightened up and nodded at the other party, then turned around: "Then -"
"The chicken must not lose the cup, this is the beginning."
