The sun is high

"General Boots, do you mind if I solve some hidden dangers for you?"

The moment Shuge said these words, the Iris guard who had been hiding next to General Boots had already taken action. He directly pulled out the magic-killing silver blade he carried with him, and his body suddenly moved forward. He actually stabbed General Boots directly, who was sitting on a soft chair.

This change happened so suddenly that the other Iris guard and the mage advisor standing next to General Boots were unable to react immediately. However, Shuge used the Black Sun Scepter to see through the opponent's identity. At that moment, I was already prepared to deal with it.

With the rapid construction of the magic pattern, a strong magic barrier was formed instantly, separating the Iris bodyguard who had already joined the Black Sun Society from Boots on the spot. There was only a buzzing sound, and the sharp sword made of magic silver and the The magic barriers collided, and the characteristics of the magic silver began to take effect. The magic barrier made a sizzling sound under its slashing.

But even this short interruption successfully bought Boots time. The manager of Iris Street showed his decisiveness as a soldier. He jumped forward, left his soft chair, and when he stood up , actually holding the crystal gun he carried with him in his hand.

"Be patient and don't be impatient."

Xiuge's voice came from the side. At the same time, an extremely disturbing and terrifying aura erupted in the reception room. Countless tentacles covered with hard black horn suddenly rolled out from the void, and they swarmed up. In an instant, the space around the Iris guard was sealed, and all his escape routes were cut off.

In the Kingdom of Deland, although the Iris Guards are extremely powerful swordsmen and veterans, there is still a huge difference between them and the sword-wielding hermits of Merlin Lehe. Facing ordinary mages, they can indeed rely on their own equipment and Gain a certain advantage with skills, and even kill the opponent through quick attacks.

However, Xiuge is not a "traditional" mage.

Whether it is the destructive methods he uses or the combat experience he has mastered, they are no longer comparable to ordinary spellcasters.

The Demonic Silver Sword was constantly waving in the hands of the Iris guard. He was trying to split or repel the black tentacles approaching him. However, the Touch of Charron today was no longer the same as when they had just been acquired by Shuge. The black horny skin covering their surface already possesses amazing toughness and hardness, and it is impossible to successfully break through this layer of protection just by relying on the properties of magic silver.

Looking at the figure slumped in the circle surrounded by Charon's Touch, Shuge shook his head silently.

He still remembers the embarrassing scene when he was chased by the search teams in Salem City...

As a member of the Black Sun Society, this Iris guard has obviously "witnessed" some so-called "miracles" with his own eyes. Therefore, the moment Charron's Touch was summoned by Shuge, he was already in deep trouble. despair.

Under Shuge's control, a tentacle successfully broke through the defense line constructed by Iris' guards with their long and short swords. The sharp jointed limbs suddenly stabbed forward, but the moment it was about to hit his body, a layer of translucent light emerged. The secret barrier successfully blocked it.

It seems that this is some protective means provided by the Black Sun Society to its members.

The face of this association member began to shake violently. He seemed to have made some kind of important decision in an instant. Then Xiuge saw this guy suddenly lift up under the protection of the magical barrier that was about to break. hand and stuffed a lump of something into his mouth.

"Um?"

Xiuge's brows furrowed, because at this moment, he suddenly felt something very similar to the aura of An Yuan's descendants.

The next moment, the layer of protective secrets was shattered by the continuous impact of Charron's Touch. Then, several black tentacles with sharp jointed limbs moved forward quickly under Shuge's ruthless instructions, with an extremely fierce attitude. Pierce the target's body and lift it up on the spot.

Logically speaking, this sudden battle should have ended here, because one of the tentacles had completely penetrated the chest of the body. However, Xiuge did not relax. Although he still maintained a sitting posture, the mirror looked at him. The fog that caught the messenger has filled his eyes.

In Shuge's magical vision, the Iris bodyguard who had just swallowed something unknown was undergoing an extremely weird change.

General Boots, who had escaped the injury, was about to speak when he saw that the human figure that had been successfully pierced by Charron's touch suddenly began to change violently. Everyone present saw that the human body that was dripping blood began to change violently. It began to "melt" at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, his skin and flesh were covered with a disgusting black color, and a suffocating weird smell began to spread in the room.

After two short breaths, the body of the Iris guard had completely turned into a disgusting dark "sludge". It fell off from the pierced clothes and smashed heavily. It fell on the floor of the reception room.

The next moment, this mass of mud began to "reshape" at a strange speed. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying pitch black figure appeared in front of Xiuge and others. It looked both in shape and outline. Very similar to the Iris guard who was just "killed" by Shuge!

In this case, General Boots once again showed his precise judgment. He silently moved behind Xiuge, using the young mage as his "barrier".

Although the magic that Xiuge had shown before was equally terrifying, it at least showed that he had the ability to cope with and deal with the current emergency situation.

The Iris Guards who had completed some kind of transformation obviously still possess human thinking. This constantly twisting silt humanoid lowered its head and looked at its body, as if feeling extremely frightened and painful by this change, and then removed it from its body. A piercing scream immediately came from inside.

The sound was extremely harsh and unpleasant, and could even have an impact on a person's spirit and magic power. The other Iris guard standing at the door of the reception room was affected by the weird scream and fell into a brief trance. Then the mass of mud immediately surged up and rushed in the direction of his former comrades.

Unfortunately, no matter what it wants to do, it is destined to fail.

Because the moment the human form completed its transformation, Shuge had already confirmed its essence through his own magic perception, although Shuge did not know what the ingredients of the "drug" distributed to his members by the Black Sun Society were. , but it can indeed transform a living person into a being similar to a descendant of the Dark Abyss in a very short period of time, and unlike those descendants who pursue eating and hunting, this transformed monster still seems to have One's own original wisdom and consciousness.

Xiuge was destined to be unable to let this special and precious "sample" escape from his hands, so the mist from the Dark Abyss Palace immediately poured out from under Xiuge's feet. Before the monster could touch his target, this black The wave had already reached its side and quickly climbed up its flowing body.

The restraint characteristics of the power of the Mirror Messenger on these magical creations were once again perfectly demonstrated. The flow of magic power was forced to stop, and the circuit in operation was forcibly cut off, while Charron's Touch, who was standing by, quickly moved forward, in With his trembling eyes, General Boots chopped and divided the human figure that had begun to disintegrate on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the messenger mist in the mirror worked quickly, absorbing all the power and memory of this weak heir who had just been born.

The fog gradually dissipated, leaving only a few dark fragments still slowly crawling on the ground. So Xiuge raised his eyes and glanced at the mage consultant who was standing by blankly. The latter shivered and he From the magic that Xiuge had just cast, he smelled the aura of death that he was absolutely unable to resist, so he immediately summoned a ball of magical flames obediently and threw it at the residue.

In the flickering firelight, General Boots asked in his somewhat hoarse voice: "What on earth...is this?"

Xiuge waved his hand and dispelled his ferocious magic abilities.

Then he stood up slowly and looked at Boots beside him: "If you are asking about the monster I killed, then I can be sure that it is a close relative of the 'silts' in Salem City... By taking It was transformed from a special drug. Although it is weak, it has intelligence far beyond that of ordinary monsters. You can even think of it as a person wearing the skin of a monster."

He paused and then said: "And if you are asking about the former personal guard, then my answer is - he is one of the 'spies' arranged here by the Black Sun Society... The Black Sun Society The name, General Boots, shouldn’t require much explanation from me, right? After all, you should have been in contact with them before the Armistice Celebration.”

"To be precise, it should be cooperation... I provide individual association members with shelter in Salem City, and they are willing to help me transfer some things and promote Salem City to join the Kingdom of Delan."

Boots did not deny this. He was blunt about his past relationship with the Black Sun Society. Then he said with a dark face: "But I never knew that the influence of this wild mage society could be so great." Get to the point!"

Speaking of this, the mage from the Legal Committee whispered: "I have also heard the name Black Sun Society, but I remember that it is just the most common wild mage society on Merlin Lehe's wanted list. .”

"That's in the past."

Shuge sighed: "The current tragic situation in Salem City, as well as the ongoing war outside, are all the work of this so-called 'Wild Mage Society' you call... The royal families and political circles of various countries, including the Legal Committee Everything inside has been infiltrated by the Black Sun Society, and this is also an important reason why the Black Sun Society has not been noticed by people."

What just happened and Shuge's words had a considerable impact on Boots and others.

Now, even if they no longer trust Xiuge, they must accept the facts before them.

The situation in Iris Street and Salem City is really worse and more complicated than they imagined, and the young mage in front of them does possess magical abilities that far exceed those of ordinary spellcasters.

As for the relaxed posture shown by Shuge when he cast magic and killed the monster, it instilled in Boots and others the concept that in this closed city of Salem, there might not be anyone more serious than him. Got good at handling this situation.

Xiuge took out his pocket watch, glanced at the time, and then returned to his original calm and indifferent appearance.

"Okay, General Boots... I showed you what you wanted to see, and I answered what you wanted to hear."

He shook his cane: "Now, it's up to you to give me a reply."

"Do you want to be the savior of the survivors in Salem City, or do you want to be the 'food bowl manager' of those monsters... Do you have the answer?"

When he said these words, Xiuge did not control the magic mist flashing in his eyes at all. Although his posture was relaxed, in the eyes of others, it was full of strong aggression and threat.

Boots looked at the pair of eyes flashing with strange black mist in front of him, and felt a chill running down his spine. He finally realized that the biggest mistake he had made today was to lead a few people with this young man in this kind of situation. Meet in a closed environment.

Boots' face trembled violently twice, and then he spoke with difficulty: "Why, did you give me a chance to refuse?"

Xiuge grinned: "Ha, General, of course you can refuse...after all, the decision-making power has always been in your own hands."

Yes, the choice is indeed Boots's.

But he must also bear the corresponding price for the choices he makes. This is an extremely simple truth.

Intuition told Boots that if he made the wrong choice at this moment and gave an answer that Sugar Ernst didn't want to hear, then he would most likely follow in the footsteps of that monster. After all, from what this young man said, Judging from the magic he used, there seemed to be a force inside him that was more cold, bloody and brutal than those monsters.

"Don't worry, General, you can still rule Iris Street, and you are still the manager and protector of the survivors here... I only provide suggestions and will not interfere with your specific decisions. After all, I am only one person, so you don't have to be too Too worried and scared.”

As he spoke, Xiuge clicked his pocket watch and put it into his pocket: "In my opinion, Iris Street's plans and actions to expand its territory can be stopped. Your efficiency in cleaning up those monsters is not good enough." High, and the expansion of territory will also increase your defense and patrol burden... shrink the defense line as much as possible, consolidate the blocks that are now under control, and don't disturb those monsters, let alone cause unnecessary deaths and sacrifices."

He stared at Boots and said slowly: "Also, please don't let those children and old people be used as bait anymore. They are causing trouble for me, do you understand?"
