At the same time, in the alleys of the northern city of Liberty City, a player who had been guarding in the shadows since Duan Qing entered the hut finally couldn't bear it anymore and retreated outside the alley where he was hiding: "That guy ...... How did it develop so fast? ”

He straightened his clothes, fiddled with the appearance of a passerby who was indistinguishable from a normal player, and then at the right time, he re-integrated into the crowd of the city. A moment later, the figure of the man reappeared in the Mondy Tavern in the western part of the Free City, and he looked left and right for a moment, and then walked into the guild residence in the depths of the tavern under the gaze of several players who remained around him.

The Mondy Tavern is the home of Devil's Paradise in Liberty City at this time, as well as the territory of Garo the Kingkiller.

"Coming back?" Looking at the player who walked into the door, Mephisto, who was sitting in the corner, raised his head slightly: "How's things going?" ”

"There's no problem, after all, Shanaiduo is also from our side." The player named Son of the Demon replied in a low voice, "She didn't say anything drastic, she just said that she understood what I was trying to do, and she took it." ”

"Good, that's enough."

Mephisto nodded, and refocused his gaze on the work in front of him: "Ten days later, we had better prepare a little more perfectly, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the center of power, no matter what, we can't give up......"

“…… What about growing up? ”

"Of course we went to negotiate with our old adversary."

As if remembering something unpleasant, the smile on Mephisto's face disappeared again: "Negotiation, negotiation...... It's a negotiation every day, can't these people learn to learn the rivers and lakes, what's wrong with doing it first! The boss guy is not a negotiation material at all, every time he discusses with others, he will eventually bring back a result that makes people laugh and cry, and at the earliest, he couldn't even handle the Dongcheng Club that was almost destroyed, let alone the auction turmoil a few days ago......"

"Yu Liuyu is a veteran in this area, and it is very difficult to trap her in words." The Demon Child replied in a low voice, "But being able to exchange for the Scepter of Judgment is in itself a result that is absolutely not a loss, compared to accepting some senseless ridicule and satisfying the other party's demands...... It shouldn't be a big deal. ”

"That suit, called 'Valkyrie', has a good chance of playing an unimaginable value in the future." Mephisto lowered his head and replied, "Although she is not playing her own job, she is also a member of the legendary team after all, if you consider the potential relationship between that person and the second in the world...... It's not impossible to get that set up in the future. ......Shh I was going to ruin her gaming experience, but now it seems impossible to do it, although I don't know if there will be repeated drops of epic equipment in this game...... Well? What happened to you? ”

"There's one thing I don't know if I should say ...... or not."

As the other Demon Paradise players looked around, the Demon Son standing opposite showed a look of embarrassment: "That woman ...... this time Seems to bring back a generous man, right? ”

"Yes, at the last auction, it was the man who made trouble." Mephisto replied with hanging eyes: "Although I haven't investigated the origin of that person, it's mostly a little white-faced ...... who has been favored by the Lou family."

"I saw that guy again today." The son of the devil interrupted the other party: "It's ...... Black Magic Lodge. ”

“…… What did you say? ”

"He would have met Shanaido shortly after I left, and then he didn't come out for a long time." The Demon Child explained in a low voice, "Because I was in a hurry, I came back first......"

"How could it be that the Whispers have been away for so long, how can they get involved with the guys of the Twelve Thrones so quickly?" Mephisto said hatefully: "Although she has been running around outside for the past few days, and she looks like she is doing something big, but this kind of reputation-like relationship is definitely not something that can be brushed out in a few tasks...... Is it the second in the world? ”

"According to our watching, they have been preparing something for the past few days." A warrior-looking player standing next to Mephisto immediately whispered, "It should be...... It's also for the battle for the throne. ”

"Second in the world...... Second in the world! ”

Muttering a few times in his mouth, Mephisto stood up suddenly: "Could it be that the second in the world has secretly united with the whisper again?" Did Shanaiduo betray us? ”

"Shanaiduo is the most inconspicuous person in the Twelve Thrones, and her statement is also the most useless." The man replied without panic: "If there is a mistake in the final vote, she must not be able to bear the wrath of her own forces, right?" ”

"Confrontation is inherently a matter for both sides, and either side has the capital to defect to the other." Mephisto, who calmed down, narrowed his eyes: "If it is the second in the world to persuade the old hunter Joel to provide shelter for the defective Shanaiduo...... It's just one of the most normal conditions! No......"

"I'm going to see Garo." He picked up the staff next to his desk and walked towards the door first, "You continue to deal with what we just agreed upon, and the response to the Restorationists, and ......"

"Send a few people to keep an eye on the 'Second Dojo,' and the Dark Magic Hut." Without looking back, he said, "Tell me what happened over there...... Report back as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!"

The players in the Mondy Tavern dispersed with Mephisto's travels, spreading the clarion call of action along the streets into the city, but this trend was only a small part of the tide of the Free City and the glimmer of the trend of the entire continent. The second dojo located in the dock area has not been affected by this wave in the slightest, and the negotiations between the two guilds are still going on, and judging from the current situation, the second dojo in the world, as the owner of this guild, seems to have the upper hand in the negotiations in the past time: "...... So, the conflict in the shantytowns, you are more than 60% responsible for the conflict in the barnelius, no opinion, right? ”

"Rikas the Inquisitor was not brought in by us, why...... Never mind. ”

At one end of the negotiation table surrounded by countless players, Sansheng Yutang, who was sitting at the front, frowned and sighed: "Then so be it, we don't plan to continue to entangle here anyway......"

"Good." Yun on the other side of the table showed a satisfied smile, and then slowly stood up: "Our people will go tomorrow to take control of the vicinity of the Hailar Tavern, I hope you can cooperate." So ......"

"Wait."

"What, is there anything else?"

Looking at the eyes of the Yin Eagle in the Sansheng Fish Pond, Yun showed a senseless smile: "I'm sorry, our team training is about to start......

"You should have received all the news from the Restorationists, right?"

Quietly clasping his arms, Sansheng Yutang leaned his body on the back of the seat: "Dare to ask you the second in the world...... What kind of reply will you give? ”

“…… This is an internal affair of our guild. Yun Jingbu smiled and shook his head: "Put it on this occasion to talk about it...... Doesn't seem quite right? ”

"It's my own curiosity." Sansheng Yutang tugged at the corners of his mouth: "This question is also considered my personal question, because I want to know...... The second in the world, which has always adhered to the supremacy of interests and the supremacy of guilds, will make what kind of choice under this general trend? ”

"Wonderful questions, wonderful ones don't seem like you can come up with them yourself."

There was a certain look of understanding in his eyes, and Yun clapped his hands towards the other party in shock: "This kind of atmosphere on the table...... I'm afraid it was instructed by the president of your family, right? ”

"Less nonsense, just forget if you don't want to answer." It seemed that he was hit by the other party, and Sansheng Yutang lowered his head angrily: "We can also save each other's time." ”

"Okay, okay, I got it." The black-haired young fighter immediately pushed his palms, and then made a sky-looking gesture: "What about this matter...... Ahem, all I can say is that we are also discussing it internally. ”

"Huh, that's the answer?" Sansheng Yutang pursed his lips disdainfully: "I'm not a member of your family's congregation, don't use such official words to perfunctory me......"

"It's true, because we've received some sincerity."

Yun Jingbu replied lightly: "Otherwise...... Our team members won't hesitate at all. ”

“…… Sincerity? ”

"Yes, it's sincerity."

Under the watchful eyes of the members of the two guilds standing on the street on guard, Yun Jingbu turned around again: "The specific content......

"You'd better go back and check with the Restorers yourself."

***************************************

"Liberty City originally had an Adventurers' Guild, just northwest of Liberty City, but hundreds of years ago, it disappeared from sight for various reasons. Probably because it was too far away from the headquarters, the Adventurers' Association never sent a member to continue to set up a new branch, and the adventurers in recent centuries ...... I also gradually learned to use the unique survival style of the locals to adapt to the adventurous life here. ”

Walking on the spiral staircase leading to the second floor, Shadow Mage Shanaiduo answered Duan Qing's questions in a low voice, although these answers didn't seem to have anything to do with the questions he asked before: "Judging from the past period of time, your adaptation here is undoubtedly very good, if you want to find more commissions to complete, I can suggest you go to the taverns in the major blocks and ask, although it may cost a lot of money......"

"Uh...... Thanks for the reminder. Duan Qing scratched his cheek.

"I know you're wondering something, because there's a lot of things missing in Free City." Shanaiduo, who was walking in front, replied indifferently, "But what does the City of Liberty look like now...... Almost none of those things can be developed. ”

“…… What does that mean? ”

"Adventurer's Association, Mage Council, Warrior's House......" The back of the black-robed woman kept swaying in such a voice: "These things that may seize the market and trade resources are difficult to survive in the dark competition, and they come from the unique law of the jungle in this city...... It is also impossible to prevent the armed forces of these institutions from giving up their neutrality, and many of the organizations that originally lived in this place later participated in the war of preemption, using the rule of the law of the jungle to decide each other's fate, and most of the names in them have disappeared, and very few have survived...... He also lost his original face. ”

"Is this the magic that is unique to this city?" Duan Qing sighed and said, "What a free city......"

"Artisan Society, Jewelry Society, Kias Chamber of Commerce, Hunter's Hall...... Many of the good names are now gone, replaced by gangsters and armed forces that have lost their cloak under the Twelve Thrones. ”

Walking on the wooden floor on the second floor, Shanaiduo introduced in a low voice, "The last one to disappear...... It should be the House of Warriors, although they have been contaminated with a lot of vices of Liberty City in the past, but they were originally a group of warriors who still persevered here for a long time, until the previous generation of presidents died in the conflict, and the whole family was eradicated by the Throne Forces, and the name was officially erased from Liberty City and became a part of history. ”

"This thing...... I've heard Hank hear about it. Duan Qing replied with a deep groan: "He should be the heir of the president, right?" ”

"They're in Tania at the moment, and it looks like you're supposed to be in touch." Shanaiduo's voice paused: "I hope he is okay now." ”

"That guy is doing well now, and maybe he'll make a lot of money in the future." Duan Qing sighed and replied, "But...... Does this have anything to do with what we're doing? ”

“…… There are very few neutral organizations and facilities left in the Free City, if you barely count my existence...... The stronghold of the Mage Council here is where we are now in the Dark Magic Lodge. ”

Saying this lightly, the shadow mage's footsteps finally stopped in front of a certain door, and then turned sideways slightly, letting Duan Qing behind him to the front of the door: "Another ......"

"It's also the only library left in Liberty City."

With the creaking and screeching sound, the small door slowly opened in an ancient posture that no one cared about, and then a different dimension that did not belong to this hut at all was displayed in front of Duan Qing. Rows of old bookshelves filled with books of all kinds, extending from light to darkness into the depths of the space behind the door, and then intersecting upwards in an increasingly scattered manner, stacked into the endless void with the disorderly result of a child playing with blocks.

"What, scared by the way this library looks?"

A smile belonging to the shadow mage sounded behind him, Duan Qing shook his head loudly, and then continued to tilt his neck, looking at the fantasy scene composed of bookshelves in the depths of the void: "I just feel ......"

"This scene is just a bit familiar."
