The sun is high

The descriptions given by the dwarves may sound flippant and abstract, but in fact they are somewhat reasonable.

In fact, in today's Fanen, not all countries, groups or ethnic groups' communication methods are full of rigor and etiquette.

In many cases, some seemingly very important conclusions or decisions are often reached in incredible atmospheres and conversations. This kind of situation is very common among dwarves, giant-eared goblins and other groups. As for ogres and other groups, Not to mention the special ethnic groups. Negotiating with these guys might end up in the iron pot.

Compared with them, the way of communication of the dwarves can be considered very "gentle".

Xiuge looked at the female dwarf Yena and asked: "So, you accepted those two bottles of wine?"

"Of course I accepted it, sir. We originally wanted to drink it all, but everyone has been very seasick these days, so... we only opened one bottle and drank a little."

Hearing this, Xiuge immediately turned his attention to the other dwarves, including Badosa. These guys, including Yena, all had that kind of parasite on their bodies: "I guess, after drinking How many of you should be the ones?"

As expected, Badosa and the others nodded slowly.

Therefore, accompanied by Richard and a mage from the Legal Committee, the two dwarves quickly took over the two bottles of Bult Principality spirits presented by Scholar Legere. As Yena and other dwarves said, they Only one bottle was opened, and indeed only a small amount was consumed.

After obtaining these key evidences and clues, Xiuge and others moved to the cabins of the mages of the Legal Committee. Just in case, small magic experimental benches were set up inside these cabins. Compared with other cabins, here The security is naturally higher.

The rest were naturally driven away, but as the representative of the dwarf envoy, Badosa insisted on staying.

This dwarf has been frightened by the monster that was picked off his back. He is very insecure now, and he can only feel a little more at ease when he is next to a "professional" like Shuge.

The order from the head of the Legal Committee has been conveyed, and now the sailors and mages on the Windless One have successfully controlled Scholar Legere. This scholar is accompanied by only two assistants and a mage apprentice. Facing the heavily armed sailors, they did not even have a chance to defend themselves, so they were taken directly to a special cabin used to temporarily control suspects.

If it were before, such a decision would be somewhat suspicious of alerting the enemy, but after the commotion on the deck in the morning, such a move was somewhat insignificant.

After taking precautions, Shuge carefully uncorked the bottle of Bult Principality spirit that had been opened, and a unique smell of wine immediately spread in the room.

And in the smell of the wine, Xiuge keenly caught a faint sense of familiarity.

As someone who has personally "drunk" the pure "Color of Life" in the Dream Sanctuary, Shuge can be sure that there is indeed something highly similar to the "Color of Life" inside these so-called Bult spirits. special substance.

However, the "color of life" is a basic force used to form living beings in ancient creations. Without deliberate guidance, its performance should tend to be neutral. In other words, its essence is actually highly concentrated. of pure vitality.

Will exposure to or ingestion of such forces cause changes in the skin of the body?

Shuge doesn't think so.

He would rather believe that Badosa and others might be "strung to death" because of contact with this rich vitality, rather than believe that the pure "color of life" would catalyze this special mutation.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiuge said to the mage of the Law Committee on the side: "Have you informed Merlin and Lehe of the matters here?"

"not yet."

The river valley level mage shook his head very cautiously: "Since we realized that the interior may have been infiltrated by the Black Sun Society, the transmission of magic messages has been more strictly controlled, except for a small number of important and reliable people who can directly communicate Except for the characters’ mysteries, everything else requires additional scrutiny.”

Hearing this, Wei Lin interjected and asked: "Is Professor Weka of the Public Magic Affairs Department on this privileged list?"

The river valley level mage nodded: "Of course."

So Weilin turned to look at Shuge: "I think we can report the situation here to Professor Weka. In the matter of Salem City, he gave us and the Dawn Society enough support, and his attitude was very clear and clear. , he is reliable.”

Xiuge nodded lightly. He believed in Wei Lin's judgment, so he said: "The current situation is very special. The seriousness of these things that have happened so far has not yet been determined. We can only be as vigilant as possible...inform Weka. Professor, I hope the Legal Committee can provide us with some additional help or solutions."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the "skin bugs" that were still twisting inside the alchemy tank and seemed to have extremely strong energy, and said: "The samples in this laboratory and the two bottles of wine need to be properly preserved... If possible, I would like to be able to take two samples and half a bottle of wine, and maybe we can make some additional discoveries from them."

Faced with the request to practice cultivation, the masters of the Law Committee had no reason to refuse.

As the whistleblower and handler of the crisis, as well as the person on board the Windless One who knows the most about the Black Sun Society and those lost creations, Shuge did not take away all the samples in this situation. This is already very extraordinary. I respect the actions of the Legal Committee.

The person in charge of the River Valley level is also smart. He directly helped the members of the Dawn Society to adjust the cabin and moved Xiuge's cabin directly to this special cabin that originally belonged to the Legal Committee. In this way, these samples The safety and use of it were handed over to Xiuge and Dawn Society.

Also handed over is the huge responsibility that ordinary mages cannot bear.

The two parties completed these adjustments in a tacit understanding, and then Xiuge rushed directly to the house arrest room. He now really wanted to have a good chat with the "very nice" Lege scholar.

…

In the past two days, Shuge and others have launched a strict investigation and surveillance on this Legeer scholar, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

This scholar, who had a notorious record of misdeeds and was once the laughing stock of Merlin and the academic community, has been very honest since boarding the Windless One.

Legere spent most of his time in his room, either reading books, sorting out his research conclusions, or simply resting or playing with some of the magical creature specimens he carried with him.

Relying on the convenience and concealment of the rats, Shuge conducted a detailed search of the items and documents carried by Legere, and the results surprised him.

Le Geer actually received an invitation from Merlin Lehe.

The main reason is that the Legal Committee hopes to expand the scope of detection of ancient creations and unknown dangerous magical creatures in the future. Among these plans, those offshore waters are one of the most important monitoring areas.

And because there are not many scholars specializing in marine magical creatures in the current Vann academic world, Legere, who has made some achievements in this field, has naturally become Merlin Lehe's first choice.

What confused Shuge even more was Legere's attitude towards academic research.

Although Legere was burdened with a lot of doubts, after round-the-clock surveillance by the Ernst family willpower, Shuge discovered that this Legere scholar was actually serious about his academic field.

Those thick observation logs and research records will not be forged. Legere will even arrange for his assistants and apprentices to go to the deck every morning, noon and night to collect seawater in the current sea area. And these seemingly ordinary samples will eventually be been labeled in various ways.

In these aspects, Le Geer has indeed demonstrated excellent scholar qualities.

This series of discoveries formed a huge contrast with Xiuge's previous guesses and judgments.

Xiuge originally thought that Le Geer was most likely a hidden chess piece that the Black Sun Society tried to insert into the Windless One. The reason why the Black Sun Scepter could not detect obvious abnormalities was most likely because the Black Sun Society had no control over the scepter. The scepter that fell into Shuge's hands made some countermeasures.

"I think it is very likely that the Black Sun Society has not formally contacted Legere at all. In other words, this guy may not know who he is contacting at all...or perhaps, under Legere's own In his mind, all he encountered were ordinary interactions or investments."

Wei Lin was a little hesitant: "Are you seeking investment from the Giant Ear Goblin Chamber of Commerce? There are not many such cases."

"There are not many scholars who can be blacklisted so many times in a few years. It seems normal for a strange person to do something strange."

Shuge said softly: "As for customizing 'submarines' for the dwarves...well, the so-called diving boats, I don't think so. Although it may sound a bit bold, I think it is actually feasible. "

Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar noun from Xiuge's mouth, Weilin couldn't help but glance at him, but she did not pursue the word "submarine" to ask questions, but said: "In other words, do you think what happened in Does what happened to Scholar Le Geer actually conform to the usual methods used by the Black Sun Society?"

"Not sure yet."

Xiuge shook his head: "If they just want to use this method to hide the perception of the Black Sun Scepter, then it is still a bit of a joke. Knowing that I can accurately find the traces of those ancient creations, I am afraid that similar plans It won't have any effect, it can only waste your own arrangements and trump cards."

While they were talking, the two of them followed the mage from the Legal Committee to the door of the house arrest room.

These cabins are set up in extremely hidden locations. Similar cabins are found on many large ships. This special cabin may also be used to smuggle special goods when it is not used to detain suspects. , or protect certain characters for smuggling.

The cabin was guarded by the sailors on the Windless One, and after the cabin door opened, Shuge and others saw a figure huddled in a dark corner.

This middle-aged man with messy hair, swollen face and dark circles under his eyes was Le Geer.

According to Xiuge's request, his assistants and apprentices were placed separately. They were also on Xiuge's key suspect list. It was absolutely impossible for these people to meet each other before the suspicions were cleared.

Because of the special functions of the cabin, the walls, floor and even the ceiling are all wrapped with extremely soft thick felt. To the naked eye, there are no sharp protrusions in the room. This can ensure the personal safety of the detainees to the greatest extent.

Two lighting balls slowly rose, and bright light fell inside this cramped and dark cabin.

Under the illumination of the magic light, Le Geer looked particularly embarrassed. He was probably resting when he was brought here, so he did not wash up. He is still wearing pajamas. Shuge can even see the filth in the corners of this guy's eyes. .

What made Le Geer's image even more disgraceful was the magic-strangling silver collar fixed directly around his neck. This thing made him look more like a prisoner in a prison.

And he's the kind who will be dragged out and executed by a sword-wielding hermit in the next second.

"Finally someone is here! What is going on? I need a detailed explanation!"

"Calm down, Scholar Luger."

Xiuge took a step forward, and the mage's hand flew out, directly holding down the excited Le Geer. Then he gently snapped his fingers a few times, and the magic power instantly constructed tables and chairs for use.

At this time, Legere also recognized the faces of Xiuge and Weilin. He stared in surprise. Perhaps considering the presence of a young woman, he instinctively wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers. He wiped away those dirty traces, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve to wipe away the white foam he had just sprayed out.

Shuge carefully observed Le Geer's every move, and his powerful and delicate magic perception could even accurately monitor changes in his breathing and heartbeat.

After Legere sat down, Shuge waved outside, and a waiter came in and brought a cup filled with water and a clean towel dipped in hot water in front of Legere.

"Mr. Ernst, and...Ms. Ernst? Why are you two?"

"You recognize us?"

"Don't be ridiculous, even the fish on our route recognize your names!"

After wiping his face with a hot towel, Le Geer finally regained some of the magnanimity that a scholar should have. He clutched the towel and said puzzledly: "You two suddenly came here, it seems... because of my... matter?"

"Of course."

Xiuge nodded. He looked at the somewhat ugly scholar in front of him. His smiling face suddenly turned cold, and even his gentle voice seemed to be tainted with the temperature of the wind and snow.

"Scholar Legere, you are in big trouble."

Le Geer was startled by Shuge's terrifying tone: "Wha...what?"

So Shuge continued: "If nothing else happens, you will have to spend the rest of your journey here... The reason is that you are suspected of murdering diplomats, which means that you need to participate in the events after arriving at Meilinlehe. It will not be a meeting of the Legal Committee, but a trial against you.”
