The sun is high

Chapter 294 May the fire be raging...

After Xiuge and his two men successfully returned to the Dawn Society's headquarters, they immediately informed important members of the Dawn Society of the strange things that happened in the town and the unusual behavior of the fish in the sea.

Almost everyone showed great concern about this matter.

The ever-expanding black shadow in the sky showed that the rise of the so-called "black sun" did not happen in an instant, and its impact on Van En was most likely subtle.

Based on this understanding, the changes taking place in Van En have also attracted more people's attention.

"Deformed fish...destroyed crab pot..."

After Meyer heard about these things, he immediately found some fishermen with whom he had already established relationships. After careful questioning, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"We need to increase the protection of the entire port area. Except for the crew members of the Dawn Goddess and several other warships, the maintenance and garrison personnel on the remaining ships need to be strictly controlled. If possible, avoid staying on the ship for too long .”

"We need to hire a few fishing boats, let our people protect them out to sea, and conduct trial fishing at the locations where abnormalities appear... to see if we can obtain live samples."

"Organize some mages who can summon magical creatures that move in the ocean to investigate the waters near the port to see if there is anything else besides those strange fish."

"Increase the frequency of maintenance and inspections of large and small ships, deploy more soldiers in docks and other places, and set up additional magical rituals."

"The Dawn Society's recent food purchases try to avoid local seafood. When using fish, they try to choose dried fish or finished fish that has been inspected and processed as much as possible."

As for what happened in the town, as well as the task of tracing the traces of the Black Sun Society members, the "expert" Shuge was fully responsible for it. Of course, Daswell also deployed those deployed in the ports and towns. Dawn Society's secret sentry and soldiers were handed over to Xiuge.

Now, whenever he needs it, he can contact these soldiers through the secret ritual set up on the Dawn Goddess at any time and give them direct instructions.

But at present, it is obviously not time to call on this power.

Through General Bernhardt who stayed at Old Glenn's house, Shuge is now fully able to track and observe the old fisherman in the most detailed manner. Even if he is sleeping, General Bernhardt is fully able to pass the communication between the two sides. The magical connection between them quickly awakened Xiuge.

After arranging a series of affairs, Shuge returned to his cabin on the Dawn Goddess.

After leaving for half a day, there were more things on the table.

Perhaps because Daswell has accepted Shuge's decision as a core member of the Dawn Society, a large number of documents related to the Dawn Society were sent over. These large and small paper documents were piled up into a small mountain on his desk. .

Beside this hill, there are other things stacked up.

First of all, there are some magic experiment records compiled by Wei Lin herself, as well as the magic books that lake level and river valley level mages need to read and use - it seems that even Xiuge now actually has far more than the stream level mage. Despite his strength, Weilin still regards him as her student.

Of course, Shuge has no objection to this. He is indeed just a growing apprentice in orthodox magic.

Close to this pile of magic information is a cloth bag.

Xiuge opened the cloth bag, and then he pulled out a stack of letters from it with some surprise.

Most of them do not have envelopes, they are simply written on letter paper and folded, which means that these letters are not delivered through the magic arcana and the post office, but are delivered here directly through the Dawn Society.

With deep curiosity, Xiuge sat down on the chair. He took out a letter and slowly began to read it.

The first letter was written by an ordinary miner. There were many typos and grammatical errors, but the content was very clear. The miner who wrote the letter repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Shuge and Pray to the Brahma gods he believes in to protect Shuge and keep him healthy and strong forever.

The second letter came from an ordinary boy.

The letter was written for him by the boy's mother. In the letter, the boy expressed his infinite admiration and admiration for the mysterious Mr. "Shog Ernst". He thanked this powerful mage hero for his role in the hellish city. He saved himself and his mother.

He longed that one day he could become the same person as “Mr. Shuge's reply.

Xiuge just read one letter after another quietly.

During this period, Meyer and Sally came once. After discovering that Shuge was busy reading letters, the considerate professor quietly left the room, while Sally silently made a drink for Shuge. After taking a refreshing drink, he also left with his teacher.

These words from different groups of people, written on a variety of simple wrapping paper or newspapers, seemed to be full of a special charm, which made Xiuge unable to help but become addicted to them.

From the perspective of "literature" and "art", these words can be said to be very, very rough. There is neither gorgeous literary style nor any outstanding rhetoric. The only thing that can be seen in them is these writings. The letterers use plain and simple sentences to express gratitude that they repeat again and again, as well as simple descriptions of their current lives.

From these letters, Shuge learned that many residents who escaped from Salem City chose to resettle near the Principality of Bult. Among them, many survivors who lost their relatives and partners in the disaster chose to live with those who lived with them. Those who died together formed a new family.

Xiuge also saw a letter that was a little different. It was made of clean letter paper, with a little perfume sprayed on it, and the handwriting was very neat.

This letter comes from the girls who narrowly escaped death.

They eagerly told Xiuge that with the help of the Dawn Society, they had opened a small shop in a small town near the port, specializing in selling simple drinks and wine. In addition, they also planned to support some people who also came from the same family. An orphan who escaped from Salem City, but lives an extremely difficult life.

"Everything is getting better, isn't it?"

Xiuge smiled happily while folding these letters. At this moment, he felt unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.

And just when he was about to put these precious letters back into the cloth bag, he discovered that at the bottom of the cloth bag, there were two pieces of paper that he had accidentally missed. After he took them out, I was surprised to find that these were two Dragon Teeth cards.

Or it can be said that these are the first drafts of two Dragon Teeth cards that will be officially released soon.

On top of the two dragon tooth cards, there is a small note with a message: "I'm sorry that I couldn't help you, brother, but we think you are definitely the real heroes."

"For these two cards in a set, we hope that you can name them. If possible, you can also leave a paragraph for them."

There are two signatures in similar handwriting below.

They are "Niels Ernst" and "Dietrich Ernst".

Xiuge remembered these two guys. He did not expect that these two brothers, who had only met him once and were obsessed with the Dragon Tooth Card business, would express their feelings in this way.

Although it is only a first draft, the pictures on the two Dragon Teeth cards use the highest level of magical craftsmanship, in the style of St. Steele and Merlin and common northern oil paints. This style of painting is already known for its amazing picture tension. , and with the magic craftsmanship regardless of cost, the pictures on the small playing cards are even more shocking.

In the picture, Xiuge saw two mages from the Legal Committee.

They stood back to back, one holding the magic book high, blazing magic lines swaying out from the pages and penetrating into the ground, while the other kneeled on one knee, half of his body had been swept by the flames, but his movements had not changed in the slightest.

Although their faces were blurred by the blazing fire in the magic painting, Xiuge immediately recognized the Dragon Teeth card sets hanging around their waists and the black shadows that were constantly twisting in the background of the painting.

"It's you..."

He sighed softly.

In fact, he was not familiar with these two mages who liked to play cards in silence. He didn't even know their names...

Like those brave men who stood up to die on the last night of Salem City, they completely disappeared in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Xiuge picked up the cup and slowly took a sip of the cold refreshing drink. He placed the two cards in his hand and looked at them repeatedly, then pulled out a blank piece of paper and picked up the pen.

"Dear Nils and Dietrich, I am very happy to receive these two Dragon Teeth cards and your message. I wish you all the best..."

"Unfortunately, although I have talked with these two mages, in fact I am not familiar with them. I don't even know their names, nor do I know that they finally made such a choice..."

"Sorry, from my personal point of view, I don't think I am qualified to name these two Dragon Teeth cards to commemorate them. Or maybe, these two cards should have used their original names."

"If you insist on asking me what I think about this matter, then I'm afraid I only have one sentence left."

"May the fire be as hot as their hearts."

…

After entering the state of cultivation, it is almost impossible to feel the passage of time.

When he raised his head from the desk, the sky had completely darkened. The crystal lamps in the port were lit one after another. Standing in the cabin, Xiuge could see the bright lights coming from several buildings in the distance. Lighting, it is obvious that the members of the Dawn Society have not rested. They are still dealing with certain things or holding some important meetings.

"Crack, snap!"

A slight sound came from under the bed, so Shuge's mage hand immediately appeared. After it locked the hatch, Shuge bent down next to the bed, pulled out a small wooden box from underneath, and unlocked the door. After sealing the magic on it, he took out a weathered kettle from inside the box.

The kettle was shaking gently. After Xiuge opened the kettle, a small dark shadow crawled out of the open mouth of the kettle.

This soft and pitch-black tiny individual is completely different from the descendants of the Dark Abyss who were annihilated in Salem City.

There is a vague mist of the dark abyss floating on its surface, and its body is as crystalline and clear as some kind of expensive black gem. Xiuge can even see the things behind it through its body, and can also determine that behind it There are no impurities or messy organs in the body.

Xiuge stretched out his hand, trying to let the shadow crawl onto his palm. However, just like a cub that finally returned to his elders after being abandoned, the moment Xiuge made this action, the small shadow The small black shadow trembled violently twice, and then let out a sharp and thin neighing sound.

It sounds somewhat similar to the sobs a toddler would make.

Facing Shuge's touch, it twisted its body twice as if losing its temper, and chose to avoid Shuge.

"Tsk..."

Xiuge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows twice.

He really doesn't know how to deal with this special case that he brought out of the sea of ​​hell and fire.

There are various signs that this group of individuals, which combines the will of scholar Justina, possesses a partially artificial human consciousness and possesses the huge power of the descendants of the Dark Abyss, has most likely become a unique existence among Van En.

What's even more subtle is that Xiuge discovered that it seemed to have some kind of special emotion for itself, and because of its own weak status, this emotion became extremely strong.

Even a little awkward.

"Okay, stop yelling... If we lure Miss Wei Lin here, she will definitely take you for experiments. You know what I'm talking about, right?"

Xiuge reached out his hand, gently pinched the little boy's body, and lifted it to his desk like a small animal.

Faced with Shuge's "extremely disrespectful" treatment, a mess of chaotic and complicated emotions immediately flowed towards Shuge along the magical connection between the two parties. However, after venting, it turned out to be honest. Shi Shi leaned against Xiuge's palm, and even took the initiative to rub his fingers twice.

It's a bit flattering.

Shuge smiled, then took out two magic crystals from his pocket and placed them directly in front of "Justina".

Two black tentacles immediately came out. It gently grabbed the two crystals, pulled them in front of itself, then slowly climbed up and wrapped them up directly.

Xiuge could even see through its translucent body that the two crystals were taken into its body and "grinded" and "digested" bit by bit.

As this process progressed, this weak black shadow seemed to grow slightly larger.

I don’t know how long it will take for “Justina” to return to her original state...
