The sun is high

When Felix arrived at the scene with two other people, he saw that the area had been sealed off by a magic ritual.

Inside the residence of old fisherman Glenn, black rats are constantly emerging.

These rats summoned by Shuge formed a very disciplined and efficient transport team. They were like hand-cranked conveyor belts in plateau workshops. With their own surge, they moved all the repaired items. The items specified in the order were transported to the open space outside the house.

Next to these prisoners and belongings, Xiuge was leaning on his cane, pointing at the Dawn Society agents who participated in this mission and commenting on them one by one.

His expression was very calm, but the words coming out of his mouth were extremely harsh.

Even a little mean.

"Let's start with you first."

Xiuge said to the spy dressed as a young fisherman: "I have already mentioned part of your question before. The choices and judgments you made at the beginning... To be honest, it was not bad. You can use a magic-suppressing silver dagger to Directly controlling a stream-level mage is enough to be proud of."

"But the question is, how much do you know about the tricks used by mages, especially regular mages above the stream level?"

Xiuge raised his foot and gently kicked the two Black Sun Society mages who were lying beside him: "I have already seen it. Except for a few magic spells, most of them should be 'Normal means' within the inherent system."

"If you know in advance that there are interrelated rituals between these two mages, you should take appropriate actions immediately after you successfully control one of them... Either force the first captive to continue to maintain the ritual, or let him The rest immediately prepared to deal with the strong enemy, and even took the initiative to enter the house to try to control the situation, instead of staying outside the house without any bunkers with their comrades to confront a mage head-on."

After saying that, Shuge turned to the other side. He pointed at the young girl who had been hiding in the room on the second floor but suffered a "brain spike" and passed out on the spot. He criticized: "You are the only person involved in this operation." As a spell caster, although you are only an apprentice, you should also master the knowledge and skills that you should have... Not only should you master it, you should also inform your comrades in a timely manner."

"Come on, let's see how many mistakes you made just now."

"As a spellcaster who can use magic-made bows and arrows, you are the only person with the best chance of directly attacking the target and killing or seriously injuring it. However, not only did you fail to shoot successfully, you did not even use magic book pages or rituals to cover yourself in advance. Existence, in the eyes of a stream-level mage, you are as conspicuous as a crystal lamp in the dark night!"

The young Dawn Society secret agent blushed. She lowered her head and did not dare to look directly into Shuge's eyes.

However, the criticism did not end. He just heard Shuge continue to say: "Do you know enough about the revolver in your hand? Do you know that you can choose a safer and more concealed shooting position? Instead of staying in a place where you can't see Next to a window that can be easily captured within range?”

In this way, Xiuge did not let go of any of the "Sword of Dawn" members present. After he finished training all the people in the circle around him, his eyes fell on Felix beside him.

After witnessing Shuge's stern side, even Felix couldn't help but bared his teeth.

"And you, Felix..."

Xiuge's tone finally relaxed a little. He saw that there was a lot of blood on Felix's clothes, which showed that he had been on the front line and had seen blood just now.

Upon seeing this, Shuge said: "In the early days of the establishment of 'Sword of Dawn', as a manager and leader, you really need to go deep into every important task, but this does not mean that you have to take risks like all the members. .”

He turned to look at the other people present and said: "I am not emphasizing Felix's privileges, but the responsibilities he bears... He is the commander and the maker of important plans, finding the focus of the task, Make arrangements in time, mobilize manpower, and check key arrangements that may affect success or failure... these are what you should do, Felix."

"They have a lot to learn, and you have to master even more, including not only the things I just said, but you even need to specifically study the Black Sun Society and the power they control."

Xiuge finally sighed and his expression relaxed.

He smiled and his tone softened.

"Professor Meyer, Mr. Daswell and Felix all hope that I can give you a few more 'classes' like this, but such opportunities are very rare after all, so I hope you can cherish them as much as possible." , after all, in the future, more experience will most likely need to be obtained through blood and sacrifice."

"What we are facing now is just the beginning of a struggle."

"When cruel death and sweet temptation come to you, I hope you can still remain firm today."

…

Before I knew it, another day passed.

In the afternoon, when Shuge finished the interrogation of the prisoners of the Black Sun Society and returned to his residence, he met Meyer who had been waiting for a long time at the door of the cabin.

"I heard from Felix that he thinks your courses are great, even more professional than any professor he has ever seen in the school!"

Meyer leaned against the fence. He sighed and looked at the seabirds flying in the distance. The strange fish in the sea near the port have been cleared up, so some fish schools have returned. These can be caught. The seabirds that lived on sea fish also returned to their habitats.

Faced with Meyer's praise, Shuge shook his head helplessly.

He certainly had no actual teaching experience himself.

But in his memory, the memories and knowledge of countless victims have been precipitated. In addition, there are a group of experienced family wills who can provide him with guidance, plus enough strength to bring Confidence, this made Xiuge's series of actions extremely natural.

As for what he said to the members of the "Sword of Dawn", they were all his true inner thoughts.

While pointing out the problem, he felt that he should not deny the courage and ideas of these young people. After all, this is an important cornerstone that supports their fight against unknown enemies. If possible, Shuge hopes that these cornerstones can be more stable, and It will never be eroded by external forces.

But is this possible?

The answer is naturally no.

Perhaps most people within the Dawn Society can strengthen their beliefs and make corresponding choices when faced with external influences, but in the face of threats and temptations that may arise in the future, some people will definitely be affected by this, and even choose to betray.

This kind of choice and judgment based on ideals or beliefs is actually very abstract and cannot be quantified through concepts such as numbers. It can be very fragile or extremely powerful.

Meyer suddenly turned his head and asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Xiuge was a little surprised: "Huh? Did I sigh?"

"Haha, of course."

Meyer carefully studied Xiuge's expression, then shook his head and said, "It seems that you are somewhat confused? Or, have you encountered any trouble that is difficult to solve?"

"That's not true."

Shuge shook his head. He touched his pocket and took out half a pack of cigarettes from Daswell. He took one out and handed the cigarette case to Meyer. Soon, a faint smoke began to drift away with the sea breeze.

Smoking is certainly not a good habit, and this will not change for Van En, who possesses miracles such as magic. But for the current Xiuge, he needs a way to open his mind, or to let his mind wander. The state relaxes.

"Professor, if I plan to go to the North next time, what will it be like?"

"To go to the north now, I'm afraid you can only take a boat. And you have no way to go around from the direction of Hain Kingdom. You can only go to the destination through the sea on the east side of the plain. Even if you take a warship and move forward at full speed, it will take at least ten years. Five days.”

"Ha, I thought the magic masters of the Legal Committee would arrange some teleportation magic rituals for this?"

Meyer smiled, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said: "This is because you misunderstood them. We have talked with Merlin Lehe's mages several times. They wish you could arrive now... but the teleportation magic is too much." It is very precise, and the black sun interferes with it very much. Once an error occurs during the execution of the ritual, the user of the ritual is likely to be teleported 'everywhere'."

"The Legal Committee did not lie this time. Currently, most of the large mysteries in Fan'en have been affected."

Wei Lin's voice suddenly came from the side. Xiuge turned around to look, only to see that she was wearing a very typical magic lab coat. To facilitate movement, her white sleeves were rolled up neatly. The lab coat There are also several paper materials and her magic book in her large pocket.

It seemed that she had just finished a new round of experiments.

Wei Lin did not blame the two people who were smoking. She also leaned on the side of the ship and said softly: "The final time of that meeting has been determined, just twenty days later. If we are really prepared to participate, then I'm afraid We have to leave immediately.”

The shoulder straps of the lab coat were a little loose, so Weilin frowned and straightened them out, and then she continued: "Tomorrow evening, a cruise ship will depart from the 'Cyanobacteria Port' in the Principality of Bult, and will accept different passengers in different sections. The escort of the principality’s fleet…the people on board it are all scholars and dignitaries who are preparing to go to Merlinle for peace.”

"Your suggestion is that we also take this boat?"

"That's best, unless you plan to have the Dawn Goddess make a special trip to see us off?"

Weilin rolled her eyes gently, she paused for two seconds, and then added: "From a personal point of view, I actually do not recommend anyone to participate in this Merlin Peace Conference. The northern border is already very dangerous right now. , no one can estimate the true degree of penetration of the Black Sun Society there... Therefore, all countries are very cautious in selecting the personnel participating in this meeting."

Meyer on the side asked: "What if we start from the perspective of the Dawn Society and the potential alliance of various countries?"

So Weilin replied: "Then this meeting is very important... Professor, we are going to prepare for in-depth cooperation with Merlin Lehe, right?"

"Indeed."

Meyer nodded: "We are destined to not be able to stay in the Principality of Bult for too long. The Dawn Society needs a long-term and stable stronghold, and this stronghold must meet many of our goals and needs. Merlin Lehe has also understood us. ideas, so they are proactively communicating with us.”

Xiuge couldn't help but sigh: "It's hard to imagine that one day the Legal Committee will compromise to such an extent. It seems that their internal situation is not optimistic."

"I think this is why Master Weka keeps sending invitations to you."

Wei Lin looked at Xiuge: "Through some of the mages who were evacuated from Salem City before, they have learned about your special characteristics... I guess the top brass of the Legal Committee very much hope that you can use your abilities to help They eliminated some of the traitors and spies hiding inside."

Shuge nodded slightly. He thought seriously for two seconds, and then said to Meyer: "Professor, inform Felix and ask him to select a few members he is more optimistic about from within the 'Sword of Dawn'. Let them follow you on this trip... I believe that the 'sword-wielding hermits' of the Law Committee will be able to provide many useful solutions when it comes to dealing with mages. This is a very important learning opportunity."

He gently rubbed his fingers and used the magic flame to turn the cigarette butts in his hands into fly ash. Then he turned to Wei Lin: "If this is the itinerary, we have to pack our luggage now and notify the people of the Legal Committee... tomorrow morning Let's set off directly and rush to 'Blue Algae Port'."

After completing a series of planning, the three of them separated. Meyer needed to notify Felix and send a formal notice to the person in charge of Merlin Lehe, while Weilin needed to sort out the things she had obtained in the past two days. Experimental data, and handed over the newly obtained abnormal fish samples to the professional mages within the Dawn Society.

As for Xiuge, he took a quick tour of Dawn Society's laboratory warehouse and then returned to the cabin.

There was nothing special that he needed to clean up. The only thing he had to do was to "get some sleep" as soon as possible.

After sufficient growth in magic power, the grooves on his metal disc had developed to a new level, and those precise grooves were waving to him.

So Xiuge carefully placed the four or five different items he selected next to the bed, and just lay among them...
