Among the player forces after the rise of the Magic Empire, Devil's Paradise is considered to be one of the better guilds. This is not only because they belong to one of the eight major guilds in the alliance, have rich combat power, and have a strong foundation, but also because they are affiliated with one of the eight major guilds in the alliance. Thanks to their ability to play both sides of the white and black circles, they have face to sell no matter where they are. Under the overt and covert manipulation of the president who rarely appears but has great energy, Devil Paradise is even in the Magic Empire faction. He has also gradually gained fame. After completing several relatively large tasks, killing several well-known bosses, and gaining the favor and reputation of the Magic Council, the only ones that can pose a threat to such a rising star are probably large-scale ones outside of the Magic Empire. The rival guild forces, as well as the Wings of Freedom, led by Liangchen Meiyu, also converted to the Magic Empire and became competitors in the same industry.
"But Liangchen Meiyu has not been back online for a long time."
Continuing to wipe off the wounds and bloodstains on his body, Sansheng Yutang, who was sitting on the ground, answered with his mouth curled up. Perhaps it was because his body that had not healed from serious injuries was still in pain, and his voice was also laced with a hint of pain from time to time. Fen Douyin: "We...hiss, we don't intend to let these guys ride on our heads all the time, and we have been thinking of ways to bring them down. Previously, the boss, I, and several other key members have also been in the Magic Empire. Rumors are spread internally that Wings of Freedom is a domestic slave of the three surnames, and they are not worthy of trust at all."
"It seems you are in trouble this time." After hearing these words, Duan Qing glanced at the other party: "What did they say this time?"
"I don't know what he said. Anyway, Devil's Paradise seems to have been classified as a traitor overnight." This time, the person who answered him was Mephisto, who was sitting aside and responsible for taking care of him: "Rumors, we can use them. The opponent can also use it, but we didn't expect that Liangchen Meiyu, who has never been online, can actually use this trick, and do it so ruthlessly."
"Everything was done while we were on our way to Tania and back again - hey, this guy's strength has not improved, but his foul-mouthed skills and deception techniques have improved a lot." Then this sentence continued. Sansheng Yutang gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, after a series of frame-ups that we don't know the specific content of, the Magic Empire issued a pursuit order against us, and the brothers in the local guild became street rats that everyone wanted to beat. , has been almost cleared, and we were attacked on the way back... Hey, they thought we set the resurrection point near Tania, but they didn't know that we didn't change the place at all-"
"It's useless. An ambush must have been prepared at the base."
Shaking his head and interrupting his men's words, Mephisto continued in a low voice: "They are all chasing us to this point. They must be planning to completely eradicate us. Whether it is the new resurrection point or the old resurrection point, they must be full of them. people."
"It might be a good thing if you can really die and return to Tania." Asahi Dongsheng, who was also recovering from his injuries, said his voice from not far away: "At least there aren't ten thousand knives waiting there. I’ll chop you until you can’t get online, haha!”
"It's not like I haven't experienced this kind of thing before." He left a harsh word at the source of the voice. Sansheng Yutang then continued: "In any case, it's better not to die. It's a small crime to suffer. What if I don't?" Be careful to fall into the other party's further trap... Huh, I don't know what they said to the Magic Empire. They acquiesced in allowing the Wings of Freedom to make such a big move, and they must have planned to kill them all in the end."
"Compared to this, I am more curious about another question." Mephisto on the side replied with a sullen face: "How dare they take action at this time? Where do their Wings of Freedom get such confidence? But now At the critical stage of the war, do they really want to choose this time to cut off their own wings and eradicate their dissidents?"
"I noticed something before."
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who came back from nowhere and completed the battlefield reconnaissance, asked in a low voice: "You seemed to have mentioned 'stones' during the final confrontation with them before - is that some kind of secret of theirs? ? Or is it a trump card?"
"Huh, whatever trump card is, it's a secret that everyone in our Magic Empire knows." Mephisto said
He snorted coldly: "These jade crystals around you and me seem to have been made into some kind of gemstones within the Magic Empire. They borrowed ancient magic technology and made it into something similar to an amulet."
"People who own this kind of gem can resist direct damage to themselves several times. The specific number of times varies according to the quality of the gem." Sansheng Yutang continued to explain: "The ones we just fought with are ordinary ones. For members of the group, the quality of the gems they can get is not high. At best, they can only be blocked for a few times before they become ineffective. If they are a high-level person like Luo Tu, they may be able to get high-end gems that can withstand more than ten times, or even It’s not impossible to withstand a fatal injury.”
"Such a powerful thing?" Gedman, who was standing by, couldn't help but widen his eyes: "If this kind of thing appears on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Magic Empire will have to become extremely brave. One person will be like five people." beat?"
"Recall your battles carefully. I guarantee that you have never seen an emerald spar like this." Sansheng Yutang shook his head at Gedman: "Emerald spar is the highest secret of the Magic Empire. One, they won’t reveal it easily.”
"Yes, if you choose to reveal this kind of thing at a certain critical moment, the balance of victory will tilt in an instant." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "They definitely want to use it at that critical moment, such as when the coalition forces are about to In that battle with an all-out attack.”
"I remember Pamir once revealed that the time they chose is...three days later?" Xueling Huanbing on the side lowered his voice and asked: "Should we take this matter-"
"No, don't worry, things are definitely not that simple." Interrupting the other party's inquiry, Duan Qing then focused his attention on Mephisto again: "The current situation has not been clarified yet, at least we need to Can you confirm the authenticity of the information?"
"What do you mean by this, Your Excellency, you still don't believe what we say?" Facing this look, Mephisto sneered with a stern face: "Hey, that's right, you haven't even seen the real thing, so naturally you won't It’s so easy to believe the one-sided words of us fallen dogs.”
"I didn't mean that, I was just a little curious." Duan Qing replied calmly: "Although the relationship between us is between rescue and rescue, in the final analysis, the relationship between us is not that good. Right? Why are you telling us so much? Are you planning to switch sides?"
"You think we encountered such a bad thing today, so you plan to do it without stopping? It's a joke, we don't want to hang out in the Magic Empire for a long time. This is the instruction of the president, and all the previous arrangements were just imaginary. I just have to find a reasonable reason and opportunity to jump away." Mephisto, still squinting his eyes, replied with disdain: "Of course, there are more reasons than these, and there is one more thing that I am not afraid to tell you. you."
"Our president has told us that we must get along well with you."
He said this while throwing back a "you know" look at the other party: "It's that simple."
"……Hey."
Rubbing his nose and lowering his head, Duan Qing avoided the weird looks everyone looked at him: "Well, it seems that the former Sky-Breaking Blade is going to cause another bad fate - then what's next for you guys? What are you going to do?"
"Are you going to continue to go deeper here?" Mephisto, who was holding the Sansheng Fish Pond, asked instead of answering the question immediately: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, going further in is the restricted area of the Magic Empire, and there is an ambush there. People are not what you can imagine."
"That's why we came here." Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "It's not to explore the secrets here and uncover their background. If the whereabouts of Romulus are not found, we can't go back to report. ah."
"Okay, then I won't stop you." So Mephisto lowered his gaze: "Go ahead, don't send me away."
"Wait a minute, aren't you going to act with us?" As expected, Asahi Dongsheng responded strangely to his performance: "Then what did you come here for?"
"...It's not convenient for me to reveal this." Looking at Duan Qing's face again, Mephisto finally said
He swallowed what he originally wanted to say: "It has nothing to do with you anyway."
"Okay, then I only have one last question left." Duan Qing, who curled his lips, turned to a certain girl who had been hiding in the distance and said nothing: "Ms. Nina, may I ask——"
"Are these the adventurers you saw while waiting for us at the edge of the Wind Flower Plain?"
Faced with Duan Qing's sudden question and everyone's turned glances, Nina, who was standing at the far end with her staff in her arms, just turned around quietly and winked at Duan Qing, who was Xue Ling Huan Bing. Then, while watching the woman chase in the direction where Nina disappeared, he turned around and showed his smile to the others: "I see, I understand."
"Why do you understand? What do you understand?" Looking at the back of the gray-robed magician who turned around and left, Asahi Dongsheng also gave up on the appearance of being "seriously injured" and stood up from the ground with a roar: "You have to go where?"
"Where else can we go? Keep moving forward." Duan Qing's voice, still leaving, came from far away from the stone forest: "A lot of time has been wasted, let's not continue to work hard."
"Sorry, we still have to hurry." Turning his head, Xue Ling Huan Bing whispered to the two members of the Devil's Paradise with a straight face: "Since you two don't plan to go with us, please forgive us and leave first. Already."
"We opened a tavern in Tania. I hope to see you there again in the future. I'll buy you a drink."
Gedman, who also bowed to the other party and put away his shield, then followed the Snow Spirit Huan Bing and left towards the distance. Chao Ri Dongsheng, who looked back and forth for a long time, finally left a helpless expression and followed a few people away. The steps disappeared among the remnants of this battlefield. Continuously retracting the purple magic runes he had arranged around him, Duan Qing in gray robe finally stopped at a certain position on the huge emerald stone pillar towering into the sky. He reached forward to confirm the "enchantment" he had discovered earlier. Then he looked at the vague clouds and mist in the depths of the seemingly deserted stone forest ahead and sighed deeply: "I was born here and still more or less retain some memories here. If my impressions and adventures If the map recorded in the guide's manual is correct, the distance we penetrated should not even be one-tenth of the total length of the forest."
"In other words, this barrier designed by the Magic Empire almost covers the entire Emerald Forest."
A dazzling purple rune appeared in his hand again. Duan Qing muttered to himself and pressed his hands on the surface of the rune: "It is actually necessary to cover up such a large area - it seems that their secret is not Small."
"Can it be done?" The sound of rustling footsteps came from behind him, and Xueling Huanbing asked in a low voice: "Do I need to be prepared?"
"Of course, that Luo Tu has been escaping for a while." Duan Qing replied with his eyes closed: "I didn't know we were coming before, but I should know now. Maybe -"
"We will see a grand welcome ceremony soon."
The sound of tearing appeared in front of Duan Qing as he finished speaking. At the same time, the purple light bloomed between his hands. The ripples in space entangled with these purple lights also appeared at the same time. Under the influence of magic, the left and right sides gradually separated, and a diamond-shaped space crack between his hands opened in front of everyone. Having prepared his sniper rifle barrel early, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was attentive, then placed the gleaming muzzle of the gun behind the large shield set up by Gedman. However, the violent attack and ambush force he imagined was unexpected. It did not appear behind the torn barrier crack. There was only a faint dark light in the depths of the crack, showing the difference from the "surface" of the outside world: "...the promised welcome ceremony Woolen cloth?"
"This shows that they don't welcome us." Asahi Dongsheng, who was hiding at the back of the team, put away his long sword: "To be honest, this is the best news we can get at this stage."
"If you fight in the morning or in the evening, you will fight. You can't avoid it by hiding." Duan Qing, who fixed the magic rune in his hand and also put away his alert posture, stepped aside and said, "If you are not here to entertain us, I'm afraid we have to recruit people further inside.
If we wait, it will definitely be harder to fight then. "
"It doesn't matter, it's all within the range of our expectations." He cast a look at Duan Qing who stepped aside. Xueling Huanbing, who was holding the barrel of his gun, took the lead in taking his own steps and slipped through the crack in the barrier in front of him. : "The Emerald Forest that produces emerald gems is definitely not the only secret they want to hide, no matter what they want to hide-"
"As long as I can cause enough damage to them, I will be satisfied."
