His face then disappeared into the crowd of imperial soldiers, accompanied by the girl's increasingly panicked cry for help. She sighed helplessly, her eyes unwavering.

The imperial captain then walked slowly in the direction he came from. A loud shout broke the chaos in the area, and at the same time, a gray-robed magician quickly appeared.

In front of him: "Stop!"

"……Who are you?"

Looking at the adventurer who Duan Qing had squeezed into the encirclement of his men regardless of his own safety, the imperial captain stopped and his voice became a bit colder: "What do you want to do? Do you want to hinder the imperial army from performing military duties?"

"Although I am a temporary worker, I can still be considered a member of the Imperial Army."

Using all his strength to rush into the center of the chaotic crowd, Duan Qing then blocked the girl whose clothes were even more ragged behind him: "I am Linyuan Duanshui, an adventurer temporarily hired by His Highness the Prince."

"We originally came here to prepare for this escort mission, and happened to see this incident on the way." After saying this, he respectfully saluted several imperial soldiers around him: "I know her.

, I also helped complete a mission to return Violet before, so..."

"For the sake of my colleagues, can you give me this opportunity?"

He raised his head, with a bright and polite smile on his face, and the imperial captain who looked at this smile slowly walked back, looking at Duan Qing's face with a strange look.

Face: "You are one of the group of adventurers hired by His Highness the Prince? Who are you serving now?"

"Lot, Captain Lott." Duan Qing replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "As long as you go and inquire, there should be no misunderstanding."

"Lot...hum."

I don't know what he thought of, but the imperial captain then let out a strange sneer: "I have indeed heard about this matter, and I also know that a group of adventurers have been assigned to his hands, but..."

"Adventurers are indeed greedy, and they will not let go of such an opportunity." His eyes stayed on the Violet Tower in the distance for a while, and then he turned around in a low voice: "Go back quickly, don't

It will delay the business, otherwise..."

"The military laws imposed by imperial soldiers on themselves are much harsher than the laws of the empire."

He waved his hand, and then slowly left with several other imperial soldiers. Duan Qing, who was looking at all this, let out a sigh of relief, and his face became obviously much more relaxed: "Huh."

"My dear friend, why did you suddenly intervene?" Hongshan Taoist, who was walking slowly, waved his sleeves calmly: "I think this woman has a sinister look on her face, and she doesn't seem to be fierce.

Qian, if something happens—"

The sound of hugging then appeared in his ears, suddenly interrupting what he was about to say. The old Taoist priest who had his hands together opened his eyes wide and looked at the girl hugging him.

Duan Qing gradually squatted down: "What's wrong with you? Did you remember something?"

"I, I don't know." The whole body seemed to be shaking violently, and the girl's muffled cry appeared in Duan Qing's ears: "They want to...send me away, I don't want to...

Talk to them again..."

"Help me, help...I...wuwuwuwu..."
