"This should be the place."
The slight vibration and flicker of light became a reminder. The two of them followed the guidance of the magician's disk and found a corner of this arched ruin. The broken stone pillars covered with moss marks and sword marks were also found by Duan Qing and The front of Xue Ling Huan Bing tilted left and right, piled up together with the ruins of the broken walls that had been dumped in this place, on top of a barely distinguishable stone staircase. Looking around here, the gray-robed magician holding the disc began to shine in his eyes as brightly as the stars, and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had been following him, seemed to have a telepathic connection and took out his own The bloody long sword carried behind him was handed to the opponent: "Here——"
"Yes, this should be where I found this sword."
Suppressing the increasingly powerful shimmering light on the surface of the disc, Duan Qing sighed and replied: "Maybe there is some discrepancy with my memory, but since even the disc in my hand "said" so, then it should probably That's right. "
"It's Aina who is helping us." Nodding his head, Xue Ling Huan Bing then focused on the same place: "Such a powerful artifact-level weapon, and it may also be home to the Fleur The soul of the empress... is unlikely to be discarded here by a certain player."
"Before Ayina dedicated herself to the city in the sky, we can tentatively assume that no one has ever boarded this city floating in the sky, not even the aborigines of the free world." Duan Qing stretched out his hand. Own hand: "That is to say——"
"This sword was left here by Emperor Frey."
The mottled blue-black color and criss-crossing cracks piled up traces of time between the stone steps and collapsed ruins. A sword groove about three fingers wide and bottomless formed at the center where Duan Qing's finger pointed. He gently touched the surroundings and then forcibly shook his head to dispel the large number of memories that were lingering in his mind. He focused his eyes on the woman beside him who also squatted down and was close to Chi Chi: "How is it? What's there? Feel?"
"...I don't feel anything." Xue Ling Huan Bing heard the sound and shook her head: "There was no "memory scene" or any other information - was it because the connection to the earth veins was interrupted? "
"The connection of the earth veins should not be interrupted. This is not the main reason." The tip of his finger burned with magical flames for a moment, and Duan Qing's face also flickered in this faint flicker: "It should have been a long time in the past. The desolation and the recent continuous high-intensity battles have almost destroyed the magic circuit in this area. Even if we repaired part of it just now, the connection rate here should be difficult to restore to the level of induction you need."
"Ultimately, it is not yet clear whether there is a necessary connection between my induction and the appearance of those "memory scenes". "Xue Ling Huan Bing continued to shake her head: "Judging from the content of the information, I can only think of one possibility, and that is that the place where the information appeared is most likely a place where Fleur has been... Do you want to try inserting the sword back in?"
"you sure?"
A trace of hesitation clearly flashed in his eyes, Duan Qing pressed his lips and muttered: "If Fleur's sword was the key to triggering "something", then something should have happened when I drew the sword... cough Hey, am I so unpopular with her? "
"Do you understand that women are not passed on to men? Do you understand the noble sensing attribute?" He was answered by a white eye from Xue Ling Huan Bing and her slender waist that forced her way over: "Get out of the way, I want to Everything is back in its place.”
"Wait, wait." The female fragrance that hit his senses was forcibly blocked by himself. Duan Qing quickly raised his hands to stop him: "Don't rush to try it yet, in case-"
"In case something unexpected happens, I'll ask you to protect me." He held the hilt of the sword with his backhand with extremely skillful movements. Xue Ling Huan Bing subconsciously blocked Duan Qing's body and stabbed the sword with perfect accuracy. Entering the sword slot: "Of course, judging from the existing clues and my sensory status..."
"The possibility of no results is still very high."
The sight of the sword tip sinking into the top of the stone steps caused a harsh buzzing for a moment. The crisp buzzing sound soon disappeared in the strong high-altitude wind that kept passing by. The surrounding Wizard players who were still repairing the post-war ruins discussed with the mage.
The magicians only turned their gazes towards the place where the sound came from for a moment, and soon they were busy with the awkward expressions of the two people huddled together: "Hey, today's young people... "
"Ahem, let me just say it." Pushing away Duan Qing's arm that was clinging to him because he wanted to stop him, Xue Ling Huanbing let out a cold snort with a half-red face: "There was no reaction at all."
"I can't tell whether there is a reaction or not. You may be the one who sees the "memories". Duan Qing, who was squatting on the side of the stone steps, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But that's okay, if there is no reaction, there will be no reaction. You came here to do the experiment on a whim, so the fruitless conclusion is expected." Guilty."
"Did you remember it wrong?" There was a trace of unwillingness at the corner of his mouth. Xue Ling Huan Bing turned around again and pointed at the Luoyang sword standing in front of him and asked: "You also said before that the scene in this place is It’s different from the position where you drew the sword, you... can you remember it again?"
"After the Mages Council occupied this city, the developed area of the city has expanded a lot."
Still raising his hands in a gesture of surrender, Duan Qing's tone became deeper as he spoke: "Including the former central square and inner city, as well as the gate where I once defeated the ancient mechanical guard, are now all It’s almost unrecognizable, not to mention the extremely confusing situation at the time, and you—uh.”
"There are also a series of forces and I who are chasing us." She put away her threatening movements, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression gradually became gloomy: "That was the darkest period in my memory, and it was also the most incomprehensible. When I was clean, anger and hatred drove my heart, making me make many actions and choices that I would never make at ordinary times..."
"Don't think about it, it's not your fault." Duan Qing hurriedly pulled the white-haired swordswoman back into his arms. Duan Qing patted her back, trying to melt the gloomy face that appeared in front of him into a gentle smile. After being comforted, he said: "And look, didn't I succeed in "rescuing" you in the end? "
"You still have the nerve to say that I almost never see you again." Making a beating motion, Xue Ling Huan Bing's hurried words then became heavier: "If my life needs yours, I would rather not save my life. This kind of "rescue" has no meaning at all, and I have no such value at all - huh. "
"The word 'value' is not suitable to be used in a place like this. "
Blocking the other party's words with his lips, Duan Qing let go of his arms after a long while. He ignored the vague sights coming from all around, and just looked deeply at the woman in front of him with confused eyes and a faint flash of thunder in the corner of her eyes. The ground mark was engraved in his gentle sight: "Although I don't want to admit it, for me at that time, pulling you out of that situation was more important than anything else. I was risking my life to act. "
"Then, what's going on with this sword?" Xue Ling Huan Bing's face turned red, and her eyes finally fell on the Luoyang sword beside her. "Why are you doing this?" Leave it to me? Could it be that you had already thought about it at that time, wanted to--"
"Of course I have thought about it." Duan Qing stopped the other party's voice again: "It's not like you don't know my situation. I must have been "hopeless" at that time. Instead of holding the things in my hands and me Delete the account together, why not leave this magic weapon to you? Even if you are still a "bad woman" in the end, such a good thing cannot be wasted. "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" His words indeed caused a strong backlash from Xueling Huanbing: "I, I——"
"Okay, okay, don't get excited."
Holding each other in his arms and constantly comforting the woman in his arms, the gray-robed magician took a long time before sitting on the stone steps with the two figures: "The part of remembering the pain is over now, don't you think I should be fine now?" Do you want to stand here? Let the lost "Moshang Qingshan" pass away, just like the past that I have abandoned for a long time... Hey. "
"Instead of wallowing in the regrets of the past, it's better to seize the present." Duan Qing scratched the other person's red and swollen nose with his fingers: "If I hadn't decided to let go of the past, you might not be able to do it now. Still no chance, if you don’t believe me, ask
Lou Yushang, three years ago, I was a handsome and elegant person, rich and rich, and a king in the virtual world. I didn’t know how many flowers and butterflies were surrounding me - oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it hurts, it hurts! Stop biting. Stop biting! "
"Bite you to death." He released his mouth bitterly. Xue Ling Huan Bing looked at the bleeding shoulder in front of him and nodded with satisfaction: "And I will also tie you up to prevent you from attracting more. Butterflies come over... not even the eldest lady of the Lou family can do it."
"Okay, okay, the eldest lady of the Chu family." Duan Qing, who was rubbing his shoulders, then put away his innocent expression: "Speaking of which, that woman has not come out since she returned to the Void Library. Are you looking for something...Did you two agree on this?"
"I have nothing to do with her." Staring at the other person's face, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied angrily: "And what I checked was the past information of Emperor Frey. How could Lou Yushang use this?" Information? Does she still dare to come over and steal my sword?"
"If it's the Lou Yushang I met three years ago, she might be able to do such a thing." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course, even if she can't do it now, I'm afraid in her heart She has already planned some strange crooked idea, and even if that woman restrains her methods, her nature cannot be restrained."
"She dares." Waving his fist fiercely, Xue Ling Huan Bing threatened Duan Qing: "If she dares... If she dares... I will fight her!"
[In view of the general environment,
"Although the Lou family is not the Lou family that Lou Yushang originally presided over, the Chu family is not the Chu family that you are now." Duan Qing reminded the other party at the right time: "We still want to rely on this opportunity. , I’ll help you deal with the threats to your family. It’s not a good idea to provoke that woman at this time.”
"I will not give her a chance to sell her favors, and I will definitely solve Chu Mingqing's problem with my own hands."
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and Xueling Huanbing's expression finally returned to its usual cold look: "No matter what despicable tricks he, the alliance behind him, and Xu Liangyu are using, I will not let them succeed. , even if it directly interferes with the data of the virtual world, or indirectly controls me..."
"For this reason, I must become stronger." The white-haired swordswoman took a deep breath and looked at the blood sword inserted upside down again: "Although I don't know the ancient blood of Emperor Frey. Whether magic is effective or not, it has a strong ability to exorcise demons. As long as it is practiced well, it should be able to deal with those mind control methods."
"Well, I can't say that." Duan Qing touched his nose: "The samples are too small to draw corresponding conclusions at present, and if you want to collect the full set of equipment of Emperor Qifulei, I am afraid that at this stage, you have to cross three The difficulty of the version is still being worked on - I said, didn't you find any more clues in the Void Library?"
"Of course there are some other clues. Why don't you come here and give it a try now?" What big discovery will be made in the "sword storage place"——"
As she said these words, she stood up and wanted to pull out the bloody long sword behind her. However, the long sword that was constantly emitting blood-red light spurted out strong energy the moment Xue Ling Huanbing held the hilt. The surrounding area including Duan Qing was instantly wrapped up. The magician disk in his hand suddenly shone, and Duan Qing, who waved his hand to hold up the magic shield, also hurriedly protected the snow spirit phantom ice that was close to Chi Chi. The brightness that kept flickering gradually became brighter after a period of flickering. Stability gradually gathered in front of the two people into a mist-filled, extremely dark space: "Where is this?"
"We were teleported? When did your Luoyang sword still have this function?"
"Wait a minute, this may be some kind of alien space, the kind that is very related to Emperor Frey!"
"Strange, then why didn't anything happen when *** went there before-"
"This is not Emperor Frey's alien space."
A female voice appeared in the ears of the two people who were still looking around cautiously. The originally clear voice became a bit muffled due to the echo in the space. The transparent projection then lit up with the disc in Duan Qing's hand, and gradually stabilized in the In front of them: "It's another place."
"Aina?" Duan Qing asked in surprise: "How did you—"
"It's not like I'm really weak, I just don't want to come out."
Wringing her nose, the projection known as Ayina also put away her coquettish voice: "I have been looking for this secret space for a long time."
"I finally found him today."
