The sun is high

The new round of changes in the Black Sun has obviously also brought new opportunities to the Black Sun Society entrenched in Saint Steele.

Under the dark dome covered with twisted lines, in the cities where grand banquets are held, the Mysteries of the Black Sun erected at intersections and squares are following the pull and transformation of invisible forces, changing at an alarming rate. .

The strange thing is that the residents who were invited by the Black Sun Society to attend the banquet in the square seemed to have lost their original fear and panic at this moment. Facing everything that was happening in front of them, they just stood there blankly. Look intently at the dome or the mystical statue in front of you.

It seems that they have accepted all this from the bottom of their hearts and are ready to become witnesses of miracles.

On a certain level, a "miracle" did happen.

People saw with their own eyes that those blasphemous sculptures with entities quickly took on new forms surrounded and shrouded by black shadows. The limbs of the gods that were originally entangled and piled up into mountains were completely merged into a mass of black fluid. .

Among these gods, only one figure is exceptional.

That is Mel, the goddess of magic.

She always stayed at the top of the pile of corpses. Her body remained intact, but she was still in a miserable and miserable "suffering" state.

Immediately afterwards, people saw the black shadows gradually being drawn out from the chaotic fluid transformed from the corpse of the god. In an instant, they turned into vines and branches glowing with black jade, and the slowly trembling black fluid... It seems to have become the soil and nutrients that support these special "plants".

The vines slowly moved upward, growing continuously, and finally came to the side of the goddess of magic. They were like ropes and chains, binding and entangling this miserable goddess, making it almost impossible for people to see her figure anymore. and face.

After completely submerging the figure of Goddess Mel, the black vines continued upward and successfully gathered, and more details were revealed.

Spikes, leaves, flowers...

Everything is composed of that strange gloomy color, and the roots that climb and grow everywhere are like blood vessels drawn from the body of living creatures. This kind of vegetation should be frightening, but for some reason, the residents who are bystanders are. I can only feel an extremely amazing charm from it.

The black shadow of the sun that was originally suspended above the Black Sun Mystery has now become more concrete. It continues to rotate and grow, and gradually turns from a concrete sphere into an active black vortex. This is different from the mass above the dark dome. The huge, unknown existence seems to be exactly the same.

However, now, amid the low chants of the followers of the Black Sun Society, and under the cover of those complicated dome patterns, the black vortex that is set off by countless black roots and is expanding little by little actually has several A sacred meaning.

Or perhaps, it is not actually sacred, but the sense of insignificance that the onlookers have in front of the irresistible power and the existence that is difficult to fathom and recognize. And this ongoing ceremony seems to have the ability to convey this fearful feeling. The ability to transform emotions into adoration and longing.

At this moment, no one needs to look up.

As long as they are still near the Mystery of the Black Sun, listening to the chanting of the ritual or observing the changes in the Mystery, that confusing and alluring scene will naturally appear before their eyes, an illusory and distant huge building, A dark abyss where danger and mystery coexist, girls, waiters, food that is difficult to distinguish but exudes a sweet smell...

Everything was integrated with the real situation in front of them. The waiters whose figures were between illusion and reality began to move again. Although they did not make any sound or say any words, as they followed As a result of their movements, the residents who originally stood up out of fear were guided to their seats one by one.

At this moment, they seemed to have become distinguished guests specially invited to watch the ceremony. Although the scene in front of them was weird and twisted, it no longer made them feel the slightest panic. People remained silent, their eyes were full of solemnity, and the expressions on their faces Becoming calm and peaceful, they began eating normally and smiling and toasting to the familiar faces around them.

In such an environment, the occasional sporadic gunshots and explosions in the city seemed a bit insignificant.

It's even a little bit harsh.

Fortunately, people soon saw the members of the Black Sun Society rushing towards the direction of the explosion under the leadership of the heroic "Dark Dogs". They also saw the majestic "Ya" under the dark dome. "Shalu" is flying fast, and it won't take long before the thugs who caused the commotion will be successfully caught and dealt with.

So the party continued.

Changes in the Mysteries are also proceeding rapidly.

The members of the association who presided over these vast magic rituals were still standing around the secret ceremony. Their movements had changed. The stone slabs they had held in their hands had now become scattered pieces of powder, and these powders had not yet been removed from them. When his fingertips fell, they turned into black light spots, which flew up under the call of the secret ritual and were absorbed by the black vortex that had become extremely huge.

At this point, the ceremony has entered a new stage.

As if imitating the changing cycle of the black sun, the huge black vortex suspended above the secret ceremony began to shrink, and as this process developed, the members of the Black Sun Society standing around gradually became silent. ——The roots like long snakes reached towards them and pierced their chests gently, but this did not bring them death.

A brighter light emerged from those winding roots glowing with jade. They became conduits, sending the power from the vortex into the bodies of these devout Dark Abyss believers little by little.

Then the physical changes began.

The bodies of the association members were trembling due to the continuous infusion of power, and as the shadows continued to pour in, part of their bodies also began to change - their eyes turned into a dark mass, which looked like stars. Black jewelry, and part of their bodies began to transform into the state of the Dark Abyss Waiters.

Some are palms and arms, some are chests and heads, and some are half of the body...

Soon, the changes stopped.

These members of the association who had received special "favors" slowly turned around, took off their hoods, and showed their new looks to all the "spectators", and this won them a roaring and tsunami-like response. of applause.

Yes, under the influence of this ceremony, all the banquet participants have put aside their fear of the Black Sun Society and the power they admire and pursue, and the Brahma beliefs that were originally rooted in their hearts, Then he was unknowingly ground into powder by the huge millstone transformed from the Dark Abyss ritual.

The ancient lines on the dark dome gradually faded away, and the constantly rotating black vortices finally took shape.

The once blasphemous sculpture of the gods has now turned into a huge flower composed of countless black vines, branches and leaves. The figure of the goddess Mel is helplessly submerged in the vines, and above the petals outlined by these vines, suspended With a huge eyeball like a work of art, anyone who looks at it from any angle will feel that they are looking at it, and can cast their thoughts into the distant palace full of endless attraction.

At this point, the magic ceremony that spanned most of the St. Steele Kingdom came to an end, and the noisy voices returned to the square.

Everything seems to have changed, and everything seems to be business as usual.

In short, the carnival banquet organized by the Black Sun Society has officially begun. However, now, not many people are still asking about the reason for this banquet.

Everyone felt sincerely and joyfully.

…

It's getting late.

The previously interrupted meeting has resumed, and this time, the Legal Committee has adopted stricter protective measures, and the number of participants in the venue has also been more strictly controlled.

However, as an important representative of the Dawn Society, Shuge Ernst did not appear at the venue. Only Weilin and several other members of the Dawn Society stayed at the venue worriedly.

It is normal for Richard and others to feel worried. The vast majority of them are not magicians. They will naturally feel nervous and frightened about the kind of attack that may happen at night at any time. At the same time, they are also worried about the final result of this important meeting. Very unsure.

After all, in the history of Van En, there were few large-scale meetings that could still proceed normally despite such a serious accident.

When they thought that the cooperation between various forces was likely to be shattered because of this, these Dawn Society members felt inexplicably flustered.

Coupled with the fact that Shuge, the "backbone", was not present, this negative emotion became even more intense.

As the temporary team leader, Wei Lin was worried about something different. She knew very well where Shuge had gone, and she also knew that it was very necessary for him to pay this visit at this moment. But as someone who knew Shuge fairly well, Man, she was really afraid that Xiuge would make "explosive statements" on some special occasions in front of some important people.

Of course, she was even more worried that the big shots at the top of Barron's Mage Tower would be hostile to Shuge.

Or, use him as an important sample and experiment.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and look in one direction, but there was only the bright wall of the venue and nothing else could be seen at all.

"I hope nothing goes wrong..."

She prayed silently in her heart, then turned her head, gritted her teeth and spread out the meeting outline in front of her, and forced her attention to the meeting in front of her.

"I hope nothing fucking goes wrong...well, something has gone wrong."

While Weilin was praying silently, Professor Weka, who was leading Shuge towards the top of Master Barron's Tower, cursed in a low voice, so Shuge who was following him naturally put his eyes on his hands. on that document.

To be precise, it was a secret letter delivered urgently.

After swearing a few words, Professor Weka grabbed the mage who had just delivered the bad news, and then he ordered: "Issue Order No. 28, immediately... After the statistics are completed, the results will be reported I must finish it before eight o'clock, do you understand?"

The poor mage's mouth trembled slightly, but he finally nodded and flew away with the order.

Xiuge easily found the content related to "Order No. 28" in his mind. This order generally refers specifically to spies and secret agents who are active on the front line or behind enemy lines. The direct purpose of this order is to For a "head count."

Or, it can be said that it is to "count the losses".

Now that the war on the surface has ceased, the only ones who need to ask the Emergency Affairs Office of the Legal Committee to issue such an order are obviously the mages lurking in the Kingdom of St. Steele.

"Is there something wrong inside St. Steele?"

"Um."

Professor Weka responded dullly. He folded the letter and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he whispered to Shuge: "I can't show you the content directly, but you can basically guess it." Wrong... The Black Sun Society launched a very exaggerated ceremony in the territory of St. Steele, and because of this ceremony, a large number of our members hidden in its territory lost contact."

"The Black Sun Society wants to track down the spies within the territory?"

"No, I'm afraid this is not their first goal."

Weka shook his head solemnly: "One of our members used the hidden secret ritual to send us a warning. According to her description, it was by no means an ordinary magic ritual, and it was very likely to be related to the recent events of the Black Sun. Changes related... Not only that, several observation points set up in remote areas also sent similar notices. It seems that the Black Sun Society has taken some special actions against the residents of St. Steele Country."

Having said this, he raised his hand and patted Xiuge heavily on the shoulder: "Let's go, we have to speed up, the enemy has less and less time for us to prepare."

While they were talking, the two of them had arrived at one side of the wide hall of Master Barron's Tower. Here, a very classic elevator, maintained by solidification magic and heavy machinery, was on standby.

As the two people walked into the elevator, the mage guard responsible for the operation immediately injected magic power into the corresponding crystal button. A heavy and rhythmic mechanical sound came. Driven by the magic power, the huge lifting platform began to move steadily towards The top of Barron's mage tower rose.

"Currently, a total of four deep-sea level mages have arrived here. After what happened yesterday, they have already named you to see you..."

Professor Weka's voice entered Xiuge's ears slowly and clearly under the protection of magic. He solemnly warned: "In front of them, I am just a slightly more important Legal Committee official. Among them, He is notoriously conservative...so Mr. Ernst, please be restrained when talking."
