The sun is high

"It sounds like this situation is not easy to solve, right?"

Xiuge sighed quietly in his mind: "After all, the time for the official establishment of the Dawn Society is still too short. The personnel, funds and equipment can be supplemented in a short time through operations, but magic and rituals will eventually be replaced. It will be quite limited.”

Then Shuge raised his head, looked across the table, and asked, "Felix, who is currently in charge of magic-related matters within the organization?"

"The execution and handling of specific affairs are directly responsible for the Sword of Dawn, but in terms of magic, rituals and related alchemy supplies, the Dawn Society does not have internal leadership."

Felix gave his answer almost immediately. His tone did not fluctuate due to mentioning the current shortcomings of the Dawn Society. He pressed the cane used to maintain the spiritual connection between himself and Shuge. , using the concise language possible, briefly described the Dawn Society’s current predicament in the field of magic.

As Xiuge expected, although there are indeed a number of excellent spellcasters within the Dawn Society, and the Dawn Society itself maintains a close cooperative relationship with the Van En Magic Society, this does not mean that the Dawn Society has the Self-dominance in the realm of magic.

In fact, this so-called "dominance" has always been Merlinlehe's bottom line.

The registration and ability evaluation of official magicians must go through Merlin Lehe. All official spell casters are subject to the supervision of the Legal Committee. All academic achievements produced by these spell casters also require the review system established by Merlin Lehe. Follow the corresponding "process".

Although the "authority" of Merlinle and the Law Committee was severely damaged due to the previous separation of the Plateau Mage Council, as the situation in Vann worsened and various forces were forced to cooperate, this "authoritativeness" The passage “was finally stopped in time.

To this day, Merlin Lehe is still Van En's theoretical "magic power".

Politicians who double as spell casters continue to use the many conveniences brought by this title. At the same time, Merlinle and the Legal Committee continue to spread their influence to those specific countries and organizations. among.

"Now, we are Merlin Lehe's key target...especially after your 'disappearance'."

Felix explained with a wry smile: "Because of the 'miracle' that night and the changes brought about by this cane, Merlinle and are trying to attribute everything that happened in Watch City to the 'grace of the goddess'. They are also I hope that I can be directly given the title of 'Saint', and even propose that I can provide more help to the Dawn Society on this basis."

"That doesn't sound very reliable."

"Of course it's unreliable, and it's impossible for us to agree to it."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Felix's face: "Meyer and the others have discussed these matters a long time ago. Fortunately, everyone is sober and no one agrees with Merlin Lehe's proposal... Once we do this, Dawn Society will Our ideas and principles of action will collapse, and we may gain more support in a short period of time, but the entire Dawn Society will definitely become a subordinate organization of the Legal Committee."

"Merlin Lehe will not be happy with your judgment, right?"

"Yes, since we rejected the Legal Committee's proposal, some magic-related supplies have become in short supply. At the same time, Professor Weka from the Legal Committee wrote us a letter, and he mentioned , in areas outside the northern border, the Legal Committee still decided to use terms such as 'miracles' and 'saints' to explain the victory in the Battle of Watch City, and the words in that letter were very strong."

"Professor Weka?"

Shuge was stunned. The image of the good old man from the Legal Committee almost immediately appeared in his mind. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "In what capacity did Professor Weka write the letter? As a person?" Or as the person in charge of external affairs?”

"Personal Identity."

After receiving the response, Shuge nodded slowly. Through the answer given by Felix, he already had a rough judgment on the current situation of the Legal Committee - Professor Weka, as the main person in charge of external affairs, wanted to What we need to do is probably not to intimidate the Dawn Society, but to warn and remind them.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the Legal Committee has not been able to resolve its internal differences... and these differences and contradictions are even becoming more intense. According to Professor Weka's prompts and the situation observed by the Van En Magic Society , Merlin Lehe very much hopes to take advantage of the current war situation to re-consolidate his position in Vann."

The moment Felix finished speaking these words, a dangerous and dark emotional wave flashed through the depths of Shuge's spiritual ocean. Shuge knew that it was Theseus' response to the so-called "Mel" of the Legal Committee. heirs" expressed their dissatisfaction.

If it had been in the past, Theseus might have chosen to be willful at this moment and use his power to give Merlinle and some "little shocks".

Felix carefully observed Shuge's expression. After discovering that Shuge was not frustrated or lost because of the difficulties faced by Dawn Society, he asked directly: "Xuge, why are you asking these questions?" Isn’t it because you have found a solution to those troubles?”

"You can say that."

Shuge raised his eyes. He and Felix looked at each other for two seconds, and then said: "If I am not mistaken, what is currently infiltrating the Dawn Society is probably not a specific entity, but some individuals formed by the Black Sun Society through the Lost Society." The strange creation summoned by the ritual... It is a slow and cold shadow. Under the control of the spellcasters of the Black Sun Society, these shadows will constantly chase the victims and use all possible methods to erode their minds."

"When these shadows successfully break through the minds of the victims, the casters hidden behind the ritual can use various means to obtain the knowledge and memories of these victims, thereby obtaining the secrets they want. , and even use those shadows to seize control of the victim's body."

The cold narration from Shuge's mouth made Felix's throat go dry. He swallowed, then sat up straight and asked seriously: "Do you have any suggestions for dealing with this? For example, how to identify these The method of enemies and infiltrators? Or the method of blocking those magical rituals?"

"have."

Xiuge nodded, then stretched his palm forward and gently placed it on the cane.

The next moment, deep magic shadows began to surge around Xiuge's body. In Felix's eyes, these lights and shadows quickly changed between concrete and abstract states. Those twisted outlines and lines made them appear... Unpredictable.

However, the strange thing is that as a person who has personally interrogated many members of the Black Sun Society and encountered dangerous magical attacks many times, Felix did not feel any danger in these ominous magical lights.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the magic power from Xiuge slowly flowing towards the scarred metal cane like water. The moment these lights and shadows touched the cane, the gloomy color faded at an extremely fast speed. It was replaced by extreme clarity and purity.

Under the deliberate guidance of Theseus, Xiuge easily identified the most important and stable magic nodes in the magic medium in front of him. Then, a large amount of pure magic power was injected into it, and the flowing clear light suddenly appeared. Wrap the entire cane.

Such a wonderful scene naturally made Felix unable to take his eyes off it. However, for Shuge, it also meant the beginning of a bold attempt.

Even if Shuge had the help of Theseus, it would not be easy to build a complete set of magic models on such an item, especially before, this cane had briefly become the carrier of Mel's remaining will and power.

In order to achieve his goal, Xiuge had to use all the skills he had learned and mastered in the past. Like a sculptor who strives for perfection, he continued to carve out these complicated magic lines, so that he could achieve his goal. Reorganize the confusing traces left over from the past.

I don’t know how long it took, but the last part of the magic model was completed. When Xiuge completed the inscription of the overall ceremony, a long series of symmetrical and exquisite magic patterns also appeared along the mottled surface of the metal cane. Against the background, the scars left by the fierce battle also have a special sense of beauty.

"..."

After completing another inspection, Shuge breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly raised his head and handed the metal cane that shone with strange light back to Felix.

Felix took the cane, gently touched the lines that flickered on the surface of the cane, and asked, "Is everything going well?"

"Well, it's a bit difficult, but overall there's no problem."

Felix nodded, and then he asked: "So, how should I use it? Can it help me identify those who have been corrupted?"

"That's just one aspect of it."

Xiuge leaned on the chair and said in a deep voice: "This cane is very special. From the very beginning, it has given me the ability to perceive and identify those members of the Black Sun Society...or in other words, anyone who has ever been with the Black Sun Society. Individuals who have been closely related to the instrument can be clearly identified by it."

"Now, on this basis, I have tried to give it a new set of rituals. Under the influence of this ritual, those creations that originated from the 'Black Sun', or those who have accepted its power, will also It is also included in the scope of perception. Note that it can not only be used for your personal perception, but can also be matched with universal magic rituals targeting the spirit and will such as 'Spiritual Interrogation'."

Hearing this, Felix couldn't help but feel a little curious. He subconsciously tightened his cane and tried to touch the flowing "cold water" based on his previous rough experience.

The next moment, Felix's perception was entangled with this "water flow". A large amount of chaotic information rushed into Felix's mind with great ferocity, and the complex shadows were like masses of mud in his mind. Spreading in the "mud", there is a figure that is the clearest.

The figure raised his head, and a face that was very familiar to Felix immediately appeared.

That was none other than Sugar Ernst.

At this moment, the strange illusion given by the cane was interrupted. Felix let go of the cane. He raised his hand, pressed hard on his temples that were beating wildly, and cast his horrified and confused eyes on the sitting man. Shuge opposite him.

As the architect of the ceremony, Shuge could of course guess what Felix just "saw". He waved his hand helplessly and said, "This is actually the last thing I was going to tell you. , and the most important thing.”

"Are you interested in hearing about myself and the origins of Dark Abyss and Van En?"

After saying this, Shuge never gave Felix any chance to refuse.

As the magic began to surge again, the streamlined past that had been reorganized and arranged by Xiuge, about the lost era, the goddess Mel, the Palace of the Dark Abyss, and that other distant world were clearly displayed in Felix's mind. In front of you.

The rise of civilization, the demise of species, the alternation of day and eternal night, the exit of gods...

In a very short period of time, these magnificent pasts that could easily subvert the entire perception of Van En were turned into heavy scrolls with bizarre patterns, and were "smashed" on Felix's heart one after another. Above the tough head.

This nearly caused him to pass out.

In the process of accepting these messages, Felix wanted to interrupt Shuge's statements more than once and question their authenticity. However, as the content continued to improve, Felix finally gave up on the meaninglessness. Struggling, he slumped in his chair, silently listened to the long story that spanned countless years, and fell into a long silence.

Finally, the impact of the huge message was relieved a little. Felix gritted his teeth. He forcibly controlled his chaotic thoughts and looked at Shuge with some difficulty: "Xuge, I can believe what you said. All this, but I don’t quite understand, why did you choose to tell me? There are obviously other people who are more suitable to know these secrets, such as Professor Meyer or Miss Wei Lin?”

Hearing him ask this, Xiuge smiled, and the psychedelic iridescent color flashed in his dark eyes.

"At present, it seems that you are the only one who is most suitable."

Felix did not lose his due judgment because of his current state. He squinted his eyes and seriously thought about the topic of "prophecy" that the two talked about when they first met, and then he immediately reacted Come over: "It seems that there is some basis or clear 'omen' that led you to make such a judgment?"

Felix's quick reaction surprised Shuge, to which he gave a clear answer.

"Yes, I do have some basis for judgment."

Felix seemed to feel a lot more relaxed after receiving the response. He shrugged and asked tentatively: "In that case, can you give some advice to the Dawn Society and me in the future... Well, Any valuable advice?”

"I can't give you much advice about the Dawn Society... After you go back, you can tell Professor Meyer and let him believe in the judgments he has made and continue to move forward along the current path. If it is true, If he feels confused, he might as well look for the notebook I gave him a long time ago."

"As for you... Felix."

Xiuge raised his eyebrows: "Try to let others bear your burden, don't exhaust yourself to death."
