"...Okay, that's it, see you later."
Putting down the same purple magic gem in his hand, Duan Qing raised his head to face the sunshine and took a deep breath. The red brick wall under his feet also reflected the unique darkness after long time erosion under the sunlight. Colorful, each of the damaged ruins also formed a circle in front of the gray-robed magician - in the scene of layers of stone seats extending outwards piled up into a ladder-like high wall, standing in Redkar Palace The famous fighting arena not far from the center was also displayed in front of Duan Qing with the world's inherent sense of antiquity. The circular sky opened above the layers of red brick walls and stone seats. At this time, it also showed an eternal azure blue, and the empty dividing line intertwined with the dark red seemed to be replaced by a rare layer of snow-white.
That's right, just when countless players were going crazy and almost wanted to stir up the entire land, the war in the Fenghua Plain was in full swing, but Redkar, who was far away in the horizon, encountered a surprising encounter in a quiet atmosphere. of winter snow, and then covered with a dazzling layer of silver under the sudden chill after the snow.
"In total, the time in the free world has almost expired in January."
Feeling the same chill coming from under his feet, Duan Qing, who was stepping between the red bricks and ancient bluestones, said to himself, Redkar, who was sparsely visited due to the cold, naturally turned this abandoned Dou Dou into a deserted place. The arena became deserted, leaving only the gray-robed magician standing here alone, not knowing what he was waiting for: "If it doesn't snow again, I will forget about this winter... Ah Zhe !”
"..."
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired and don't really want to wrap myself in fire magic."
There seemed to be another voice asking in his ears, and Duan Qing's face facing the sky seemed to be a little tired: "There are still many battles to deal with in the future, so save as much as you can now."
"..."
"I know, I'm actually tired of the stuff I have to perform."
Duan Qing let out a helpless smile, and finally lowered his head, facing the white surroundings and exhaled a white breath: "Looking back, it seems that ever since I started working in this industry, I have always been the focus of thousands of people. The person you’ve been waiting for.”
"Of course, all these attention and expectations later turned into jealousy and hatred. They flooded my life and became the main theme of my existence." The coldness after the snow and the deserted emptiness seemed to arouse Duan Qing's emotions, making him The man standing alone in the center of the arena also became a bit colder in his words: "Perhaps this is no different from the current situation, but at that time I was a young and vigorous newborn calf, and I have already gone through the same period as now. Compared to the old guy who has endured countless tortures and understands the dangers of the world, at least he is a brave man who dares to directly raise the flag to that malicious world... Ahem, what are you laughing at?"
"..."
"'Old guy' is just an adjective, do you understand? An adjective!"
As if he was laughed at because of a certain word he used in his soliloquy just now, Duan Qing blushed and defended himself in the air in front of him: "You are not me, how do you know what happened to me? You ——Okay, I don’t seem to know what you have encountered. After such a long time accumulation, the past you are carrying must be heavier."
"Find an opportunity to have a story-telling session, just you and me." Duan Qing put his hands behind his hands at this point, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face again: "To a certain extent, you and I are also This kind of exchange of 'life experiences' between people who share the same disease must be very interesting - ah ah ah ah, I was wrong, I was wrong! Call me a mentor! Isn't it okay to call me a mentor?"
"what are you doing?"
A confused question appeared behind Duan Qing, turning his psychotic soliloquy and his arms that were waving randomly in the air into a funny clown. The frightened gray-robed magician jumped back hurriedly. He backed away, then faced the tall body approaching Cangyun Barrier and gasped for a long time: "Can you remind me a little before you come here next time? Your heart almost broke out."
"It's okay, I understand. Which player hasn't had this kind of innocent and gorgeous little secret in his heart?" He walked up and patted Duan Qing on the shoulder. The face of Cangyun Barrier wrapped in a thick velvet cloak also showed a smile. A strange, aware smile: "In order to be responsible for the reputation of your Sky-Breaking Blade, I won't go around talking nonsense, so don't worry."
"It's not what you think - forget it, I'm too lazy to explain." Then Duan Qing also turned around with a dark face: "How about it, are you ready?"
"You should be at ease if we, the people from Lanshan, are the hosts." Patting his chest, the disdain in Cangyun Barrier's words was also revealed: "Emperor Drenier has long been I have already nodded, and the opposition from those so-called nobles is just a mantis trying to control the situation, and is not something to be afraid of at all."
"Come on, it's not because of Tristan's mediation." Duan Qing looked at the other party with squinting eyes: "How is the 'guilt' of the Roland family?"
"According to reliable sources, this matter has been brought up many times in daily palace meetings, but in the end there has been no definite result."
As if a more serious topic was mentioned, Cangyun Barrier gradually put away his half-joking words: "In the final analysis, it is because the current status of the Roland family is too low. A family that has no right to speak and is at the mercy of others, even if it was once extremely It’s impossible for a great person to win any rights in such an environment.”
"As long as Tristan is still speaking for them, there should be no problem." Duan Qing curled his lips and replied: "As for the Roland family itself... you are not unclear about their situation. There are not many available people in the family. , Laura, the only one who can be called a strong person, is not willing to come back."
"The shopkeeper on the sacred mountain seems to have left a message before he left Redcar for the last time. Of course, it seems now that his words at that time were somewhat of an explanation of the funeral arrangements." Cangyun Barrier lowered his sights to the distant place. Tianbian: "However, the connection between the Roland family and the empire will not be completely severed for this reason. I believe that with the efforts of us and Tristan, this matter will eventually have a satisfactory result."
"It's not that there are no benefits to you. You should be aware of the pros and cons." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "If it is handled properly, Lanshan may be able to enter the core area of the empire, and by the way, he will be able to gain access to people including Laura Roland. Support from a number of established empire families.”
"Do you want to regard this kind of thing as a reward for our busy work here?" Cangyun Barrier, who crossed his arms, once again let out a disdainful snort: "This kind of thing even if you don't behave well here, It’s also a matter of time for us.”
"I didn't plan to do this." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "Isn't this about to start? Just wait obediently - well, let's do this, I'll give you a chance to choose, how about it?"
"That kind of opportunity is as good as none." It seems that he already knew what the other party's so-called "opportunity" was. Cangyun Barrier looked down at the gray-robed magician with a bit of fighting spirit in his eyes: "Unless——"
"Unless we have a fight now, right?" Duan Qing, who waved his hand and answered in advance, reluctantly refused: "Don't be delusional. My work hasn't started yet. How can I do it first for you?" Are you wasting precious physical and energy on your body?”
"How about you just be a little considerate of me?"
The figures of two people, one tall and one short, looked at each other silently on the white snow, as if the surrounding temperature had been lowered a few points again. After a long while, the stronger shield warrior turned away from the one with some resentment. The gray-robed magician with a calm and indifferent expression withdrew his gaze and flicked the end of the thick velvet cloak behind him in vain: "Then what exactly is the 'choice' you are talking about?"
"You'll know when the time comes." After giving a rather mysterious answer, Duan Qing then opened the system panel and checked: "It's almost time, maybe we should start earlier."
"... It's up to you to decide." After taking a deep look at the other party's face, Cangyun Barrier then turned and walked towards the side of the arena: "I'm not willing to use any 'spectator channel' to watch the game. How can the picture you see on the screen be more realistic than what you see on site?”
"Whatever, as long as it doesn't take up your time." His fingers began to operate on the system panel, and Duan Qing replied meaninglessly: "Of course, there is one thing I have to remind you: once the game starts, it will be very fast here. It will become a gathering place for countless players.”
"Don't feel noisy then."
The resonance of magic began to appear in the center of the arena at the feet of Duan Qing. The earth veins throughout Redcar also emitted a roar of joy at this moment. The earth line signals centered on the Redcar Master Council branch also followed. Like a transfer station for energy flow, the churning resonance is transmitted to the distance of the free continent. The magic screens in taverns in various cities in the free world that had been dormant for a long time were then reactivated and brightened at this moment, startling countless players who were still resting in the taverns. The exaggerated howls of flowers also followed these. The same picture that lit up on the magic screen started to shout in front of the players who noticed the abnormality for the first time: "Ladies and gentlemen! Audience friends who have been waiting for a long time! I have kept you waiting for a long time!"
"The 'Chicken Beak Cup' named after the lovely classmate Duan Fenglei is finally coming to the final stage!"
"Although I don't know what you are busy with now, please put down your hands, because our main challenger in this event, Mr. Sky-Breaking Blade, will soon welcome his first challenger after entering the finals—— Yes, you heard it right! Our arrangements for the finals of the 'Chicken Beak Cup' are very simple! Everyone who has obtained the final qualification will have the right to face our final finale, the big devil!"
"Please forgive us for not notifying the game process in advance and the warm-up of this first game... because I just got the news - ahem, I mean, our former king acted His style is as fast as thunder! The Haikou he boasted half a day ago is about to be fulfilled! What? You said the rules of the competition are unreasonable? Have you never seen such a strange way in the finals?"
】
"That's because you don't know enough about Mr. Sky-Breaking Blade!"
Following the exaggerated and unbearable voice of Blossoms, more and more gathered players recognized Duan Qing's existence from the magic screen. He was quietly isolated in the center of the ring arena with his eyes closed. He made the same gesture of listening, and at this moment smiled and waved in the direction of the camera that was facing him on the screen: "That was a former Grand Slam player! A god who has ruled the professional world for several years! As long as Anyone who has experienced that era and has a little knowledge of the professional game will know this guy’s story very well!”
"Okay, okay, stop bragging." Duan Qing's voice then sounded on the same channel, and the gray-robed magician with twitching lips then pushed his palms on the screen: "Everything that needs to be known is known. , you will know what you shouldn’t know soon, so in order not to give those enemies and black men too much time to react, I will start the finals first with a little willfulness.”
"Of course, I will never be perfunctory. The elements mentioned in the previous declaration will now be fulfilled one by one." It seems that I can control the direction of the camera at this time, and the position in front of the gray-robed magician also appears at this time. On the other side of the magic screen around the world: "So I deliberately stood here before a new round of battle broke out in the south of the principality. After all, if even the opening ceremony was in a hurry and neglected our first guest, That goes against my aesthetics."
"Is not it?"
The light of magic also appeared in the open space in front of Duan Qing. The figure of a middle-aged boxer slowly appeared under the teleportation golden light. Duan Fenglei, who seemed to have been prepared for a long time, also gradually became clear and complete. He released his hands behind his back and gave Duan Qing a knowing smile: "No wonder Qian Zhihe was summoned to the south at such an emergency. Did he go to prepare the teleportation magic array?"
"Technical support comes from the Violet Department of Magic Science and Technology." Duan Qing emphasized the name again: "Remember to say this when speaking to the outside world, otherwise some people will be unhappy."
"I have no intention of offending the Lord of Violet." After looking around for a while, Duan Fenglei then raised his head: "But I actually chose this place... Yes, in this situation, Redkar is... It’s the safest place in the world.”
"It's very far-sighted."
He smiled and clapped his hands, and Duan Qing's feet slowly spread to both sides as he spread out: "The weather is after snow, the location is a historical site, the time is noon, and there is no one to disturb you."
"My taste in 'choosing the stage for the decisive battle' isn't too behind the times, isn't it?"
