The sun is high

These two key points mentioned by Master Edmund greatly deepened the speculation in Xiuge's mind.

At the beginning of the war, the news that the Cedar Scholars Towers had suffered an inexplicable attack caused a sensation in a short period of time. However, this supposedly very important news was eventually lost in the drastic changes in the situation that followed.

After all, for ordinary people, no matter how high the status of the Cedar Scholar Tower Group is in Van En, its actual significance cannot be compared with their real life.

When they themselves or their families and friends are affected by the war, the news about the Cedar Scholar Towers becomes worthless.

Of course, this news still has considerable impact among those spell casters who know some inside information. After all, in Van'en, there are very few means that can easily defeat the Deep Sea Mage Tower and cause significant damage to it. And even fewer have the guts to openly attack.

In a very short period of time after this incident occurred, the Legal Affairs Commission conducted detailed investigations and inquiries on those who had the ability and opportunity to do this incident. However, the conclusions reached confused everyone.

No one is a suspect.

There is no army carrying heavy ordnance and trying to bombard the scholar towers!

"At that time, I didn't know that Yetvich was already serving the Black Sun Society... Due to our private relationship, I asked him about the details behind the so-called 'attack', and He also graciously allowed me to view a fragmentary fragment of a record of the mysteries within the Cedar Scholars' Towers."

Edmund stated: "In that incomplete image, I saw a similar situation - a black arc of light that I couldn't analyze with conventional magic knowledge. It burst out from nothingness and defeated it in the most direct way. All the protection on the scholar tower group only lasted for a moment, but the magic explosion caused was extremely shocking. I even saw the arc of light passing over the top of the tower after destroying all the protection, and among those mixed with Huge gaps were left in the huge stone bricks made of countless precious materials.”

At this point, Edmund sighed with emotion: "We have repeatedly demonstrated and calculated many times. It is definitely not something that can be done by humans. At least in the existing magic and alchemy system, we can't find the corresponding solution at all. There is no solution that matches it...even if it is only in theory."

There was a bit of disappointment in the tone of this deep-sea level mage, but at the same time, he was extremely determined. This is a distinctive feature of mages who rely on rigor and logic as their pillars. Although they are also trapped by problems, But he is also confident in the rigorous calculations he has made.

What Edmund said was nothing more than a side argument for Shuge's conjecture.

Since it is not human power, it is naturally the so-called "divine power".

In other words, it is a terrible method that is difficult for current spellcasters to understand.

Xiuge narrowed his eyes slightly, and the memories in his mind surged rapidly. In just a few breaths, his majestic mental power helped him successfully find the corresponding scene in his mountain of memories.

He remembered that on the day the Cedar Scholars Towers were attacked, a certain faceless god of conspiracy disappeared in the Dream Sanctuary for a long time, and when he reappeared, his clothes were obviously damaged. It's just like……

"It was like running away from an explosion."

Although there was no more evidence, Xiuge already had the corresponding answer in his mind. He recalled the amazing and terrifying black arc he saw in the crystal ball, and he was even more excited about this answer. Be certain.

He sneaked into the enemy's hinterland without a word of agreement, and struck hard at some important targets...

This disordered style that is difficult to fathom and predict is indeed consistent with the character displayed by Theseus.

"But why would He do this?"

Just when Xiuge began to think about this problem, the elf mages began to mobilize their magic power at the same time, so a huge and clear magic map appeared in front of everyone. Within seconds after seeing this map, Xiuge's heart The confusion has been answered.

As Edmund said before, the only city whose dark dome blockade was lifted has an extremely special geographical location.

The name of this city of St. Steele is very long. According to the common language, the full name is "Alenbalu Stirsk Bertal". In the dialect of the north, this long name is translated as " Strait, Courage and Watch City", also known as "Watch City" to the outside world.

Just from the name, we can see the specialness of "Watch City".

The North Bay near this city is an extension of Merlinle and the bay. Watch City itself is not used as a main port, but it is the most powerful protector and transportation hub of the nearby seaport. The nearby mountains can shield it from extreme weather conditions. Severe storms, and the wide road built between the mountains allows people, goods and materials to enter and exit with extremely high efficiency.

In addition, it is also the junction point of several important routes on the St. Steele border. Therefore, in the past, Watch City has witnessed countless wars and battles. It itself has also been destroyed many times due to too violent wars. reconstruction.

"I am certain that if we show this map and the previous video to the soldiers on the plateau, they will immediately become excited..."

The fat elf mage whispered: "I remember that Walter's soldiers seem to have always been interested in this city?"

Shuge nodded and said: "It is easy for the students and trainee officers in the military academy to quarrel over the city's offensive and defensive issues. It seems that there are sand table exercises based on it every year... Unfortunately, I have not witnessed it with my own eyes. "

Mrs. Delali smiled and said: "Let the Legal Committee do these things. Now there are relevant military personnel from various countries in Merlin. As long as they are not fools, they will definitely be able to see the importance of this matter. Even if they are slow to react, Princess Sophia will definitely express something."

Then, she blinked at Shuge again: "Mr. Ernst, am I right?"

"?"

Xiuge's mood became a little subtle, but he still nodded in cooperation. He could confirm that he was not followed or monitored during the Meilin Lehe operation before, but this kind of news that is particularly easy to cause scandals is always circulated. extremely quickly.

He quickly put aside these irrelevant confusions in his mind and said instead: "When the conversation here is over, I will also notify the Dawn Society immediately. There are many people who are eager to take new measures against the Black Sun Society. And try...it would be a great opportunity for those soldiers whose hometown is in St. Steele.”

"I will bring this to the attention of some people on the Legislative Council, we need St. Steele people now, the more the merrier."

Edmund nodded, and then he stood up and raised his hand to point to the Watch City on the magic map.

He said to Shuge: "No matter whether the parties can reach an agreement on the alliance, we all hope to launch an operation against Watch City and the surrounding areas, and this operation very much needs Ernst Your participation, sir.”

"I?"

"Yes, there can be no one else, but you must be there."

…

This night seemed much calmer than the last one.

Although people were still inevitably frightened and fearful because of the terrible attacks that had occurred before, but for some reason, those strange beasts that might jump out of the shadows at any time did not appear again.

However, those who had looked directly into the black sun before and survived the first round of attacks did not feel relaxed.

They feel as if they have been marked by the most terrifying hunter. In their consciousness, there will always be strange and indistinguishable sounds, reminding them that the hunt will eventually come, regardless of time and place. , no matter day or night...

While these survivors fell into that long and painful torture, the mages responsible for researching the Dark Abyss Hounds had also initially completed the verification of the suggestions given by Shuge.

They preliminarily confirmed that these terrifying predators from distant worlds that had a common view of Vann creatures were actually extremely special magical beasts.

"They are a purely magical creature, and can even be said to be 'magical creatures', because these hounds do not need an exact entity, or the so-called entity is just a non-essential structure for them to carry magic power. "

"We can completely use the existing magic to harm them or even destroy them. When their power is exhausted, the remains left behind are even more surprising."

"After some of the more 'strong' hounds were successfully eliminated, they left behind a strange kind of remains - we thought they were their bones at first, but we soon discovered that these were actually some bones with different characteristics. Strange ores with regular shapes.”

"Not only that, we also observed that among the captured hounds, quite a few were particularly weak. Their strength continued to pass away at a slow speed, and after their strength was exhausted, they would die on their own. , these weak hounds will not leave any traces. It seems that their properties are similar to the summoned creatures we know, and they are pure power polymers."

"..."

After the meeting, Weilin returned to the resting area without even having time to change her clothes. She took the urgent report from the Legal Committee and read it quickly. At the end of the document, she saw what would really make her Something of interest.

They were two very clear magical images, and what were engraved on them were the patterns on the ores left behind after the demise of the hounds.

The familiar lines appeared in front of Wei Lin's eyes again.

Although most of them were unfamiliar, Weilin recognized the meaning of several of them immediately with the experience she had accumulated before. She raised her head in surprise and instinctively thought She wanted to find someone to share her findings, but at this moment she realized that the guy here who had the ability and authority to listen to these sharings didn't seem to be back yet...

Wei Lin raised her eyebrows helplessly, and was about to sit down at the table and continue reading the documents in her hand, when out of the corner of her eye, a slightly tired face poked its head in from the door.

"Well, as expected, I haven't rested yet... Richard told me that the meeting just ended a while ago. From this point of view, I came back in time."

When Xiuge saw Wei Lin staring at him, he shrugged: "To be honest, those 'old guys' are not as legendary as imagined, well... at least they must be much more vivid than the legend... …”

"Come here quickly."

Wei Lin's demeanor returned to normal immediately. She directly interrupted Xiuge's greetings, and her voice seemed to have infinite energy. She stretched out her hand, and the mage's hand immediately helped her move an empty chair, and then another He floated to the side and got two clean water glasses.

She pointed at the twisted patterns on the paper in front of her: "I have seen them several times, in "Poetry of the Night", and also in the rugged hills... These lines are very important, Legal Committee Are you willing to show us these things because you convinced those...'old guys'?"

For Wei Lin, being able to use such words to address those legendary mages was considered a rare indulgence and humor.

"Theoretically, that's the case, but I think the reason why they showed good intentions is entirely because of some of their next arrangements... Tell me what you discovered first, and let me see if it's worth the price of admission."

Xiuge took a sip from the water glass, and sure enough, it was another refreshing drink with added sugar.

I don’t know how Wei Lin can sleep normally after drinking these things all day long.

Wei Lin was a little curious about what Xiuge said was "worth the price", but she still maintained restraint and pointed to the patterns in front of her and said: "I recognized five in total, these are the ones. .”

She stretched out her finger and swiped the paper flexibly a few times, and the bright magic lines immediately circled the target pattern in her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Weilin explained: "I found out their meanings through "Poetry of the Night" and the 'victims' on the rugged hills. They mean 'chasing or chasing' and 'greatness' respectively. , 'shadow', 'clearing or yard' and 'end'."

"You mean, these lines are actually words?"

"It can be understood this way, but they are more likely to be a special carrier that combines magic lines and words. They can be used to convey messages and carry power. In short, I do not recommend treating them the same way as ordinary words. "

Wei Lin tapped her fingers on the table twice quickly: "If we can get more samples for comparison, there may be some additional discoveries... Why does your expression look so strange?"

"Because, I'm afraid your wish will come true soon."
