The sun is high

Xiuge looked at the hound's tooth that had undergone tremendous changes in his hand. He was now eager to try, always wanting to find a suitable target and pull the trigger.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done now.

Even the previous Hound's Teeth could easily cause huge damage in a place like this. Shuge didn't want the ship he was about to board to have problems before it even left the port.

Shuge carefully savored the message related to the palace hound. It seemed to be sending a signal to Shuge, that is, this hound was not only a patroller and hunter of the Dark Abyss Palace, but also a kind of dog that could be used in the dark abyss palace. Special creations that grow through devouring in the endless hunt.

The current form of the hound should be concrete proof of this tendency.

Today's Hound's Fang has gotten rid of the restrictions of the "revolver". The "wolf's fang" that was originally loaded as a bullet has now completely disappeared. On it, Shuge feels the number of paths and his own magic power. A tight bond.

"It seems that when I use it in the future, I no longer need to be limited by the number of bullets and the recovery rate...it should be related to my magic stock, which will make the Hound's Fang more flexible."

A satisfied smile appeared on Xiuge's face. He shook his palm, and this special firearm spun lightly in his palm, and then disappeared in a burst of dark purple magic power.

During the entire process, Xiuge did not avoid Weilin's gaze, while Weilin quietly and intently observed every movement and detail of Xiuge as if she were facing a cherished magic experiment sample.

She put the book in her hand on the table and then asked: "Is this the gun you had before? It seems different."

"Yes...but now, I don't have a place to verify the specific changes it brings."

Shuge said with a smile: "But I am certain that it must have become more powerful and smoother than before."

"uh-huh."

Wei Lin responded softly, but did not express any further opinions on this.

She had already determined that part of the power possessed by Xiuge completely transcended the perception of power by Brahma casters and completely jumped out of the existing academic system. In other words, part of the power he possessed had its own origin. From that long, ancient time, and associated with those weird gods.

In this regard, she believed that she only had the right to observe, record and learn at best. As for interference, she had no idea at all.

Perhaps not long after the black sun rises, more academic issues related to it will officially come to the fore, and only after these new academic issues make progress can she truly conduct research with Shuge around these forces. discuss.

"You seem to be fine?"

Seeing that Xiuge's complexion and condition had gradually recovered, Weilin packed up her belongings, and then she stood up: "Then, I will go back to my cabin first, which is next door. Wait a while, our ship will We are about to set sail, and then we need to go to the restaurant on the ship... there should be a lot of people waiting to see you."

After hearing this, Xiuge couldn't help but shook his head and complained: "It's really troublesome."

Wei Lin picked up the delicate kettle that she had given to Shuge before, shook it gently, and found that Shuge had drank all the alchemical drink inside, so she pursed her lips: "Since we are here on behalf of the Dawn Society, Here, this kind of communication is inevitable after all... You should know better than me."

"Fine."

Xiuge nodded. He noticed Wei Lin's little movement, so he said: "Just leave the kettle here with me for now. I will clean it and put drinks in it and return it to you later... They really taste good."

"Um."

So the female mage let go of the kettle as instructed, and then walked out of the cabin with her luggage and books. Soon, Xiuge heard the sound of the door opening and closing next door.

The sky was dim, and Shuge and Weilin's cabins were near the bow of the ship. Through the windows, they could see part of the deck and the pier outside. All the workers on the cargo have left, and a group of soldiers mixed with the Law Council's mages are boarding the ship.

Obviously, the Legal Committee attaches great importance to the safety of the "Windless One".

Seeing this, Xiuge reached out and took the black sun scepter that was placed aside. He gently squeezed the handle, and the magic power and perception were instantly emitted through the scepter. Then he couldn't help but frown. .

Through the power of the Black Sun Scepter, Xiuge was able to determine that there were already members of the Black Sun Society in the surrounding area. However, for some reason, this time the Black Sun Scepter failed to accurately help him locate the position, and he could only vaguely sense it. He noticed the other party's existence, but there was no way to confirm the target's location and status.

"It seems that the Black Sun Society has also set its sights on this ship... and they are trying to launch an operation."

Xiuge stood by the window holding his scepter, his eyes quickly scanning the soldiers who boarded the ship.

Ever since he participated in the gathering of the Black Sun Society and successfully seized the scepter through cooperation with Theseus, its power has not suffered any interference, but now it seems that the Black Sun Society obviously also knows He is aware of the threat this lost scepter poses to him and is actively responding to it.

That vague perception can be regarded as an obvious signal.

"Is it a special secret ritual? Or is it some kind of magic item made from ancient relics?"

Xiuge frowned, then he raised his palm and activated his magic power quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a faint mist spread from under Shuge's feet, and then the mist quickly formed into a solid entity, forming a silent group of blind magic rats.

These tiny magical creatures, controlled by the will of the Ernst family, able to move freely and make detailed judgments on their surroundings, are definitely the most suitable vigilantes and scouts in the current environment.

And Xiuge didn't need to do any extra persuasion to these family wills who had their own ideas. They had already been eager to give it a try, and they would not let go of any opportunity to move freely around them.

As a result, a group of family wills quickly completed the division of labor internally.

The people headed by Countess Alexandra naturally occupied the passenger cabins, while the old guys who had been deeply involved in the army and were extremely obsessed with the military and equipment development were under the leadership of General Bernhardt. Quickly move towards the soldiers' resting place and weapons storage point.

As for the kitchen, conference room and other places, they are taken care of by Jacob and other family members who have no obvious preference.

Under the strong request of Shuge, all the wills of the Ernst family who are out and about freely need to restrain their magic power as much as possible to avoid triggering those potential warning secrets. If any suspicious situation occurs, they need to be dealt with as soon as possible. be notified.

Xiuge is not worried about the safety of these family wills. As his own magic and abilities continue to grow, these magical rats that host human will have completely become part of his magic power, even if these rats are outside Even if you suffer a fatal blow, you can slowly recover with the support of cultivating magic power. As for those wills, they will only fall into a short-term slumber due to the impact.

What he is really worried about is the fundamental purpose of this action of the Black Sun Society.

Was he infiltrating the crowd to investigate the movements of Merlin Lehe and the Dawn Society?

Is it to track and monitor yourself?

Or do they actually have more extreme and dangerous intentions?

For example, trying to directly harm these important people from all walks of life who are preparing to go to Merlinlehe, or even directly destroy the cruise ship itself during the voyage?

If it's just the former, Xiuge is even willing to have a formal meeting and conversation with these members of the Black Sun Society under appropriate circumstances. But if it's the latter, the situation may become very difficult to handle. Don't even think about it. Know that these guys who approach the ship with extreme intentions will definitely choose to hide themselves as much as possible and take action at the critical moment in order to achieve their ultimate goal.

Thinking of this, Shuge left the cabin, came to the corridor and knocked on the door of the cabin next door.

However, Weilin did not open the door for a long time.

The cabin has obviously been set up with magic rituals to isolate sound and perception, so Xiuge was unable to detect the exact situation in the cabin. He could only choose to wait patiently. After a while, the cabin door opened, and then Weilin's face was full of doubts. The expressive face appeared in front of Shuge's eyes.

Xiuge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He was surprised to find that Wei Lin, who always only wore the standard mage robes and scholar's trench coat on various occasions, actually changed her clothes this time for the first time.

She is now wearing a robe decorated with some dark red patterns. Compared with ordinary scholar and mage robes, the waist of this garment is slightly tightened inward, which will further highlight the figure, and she wears a robe on the outside that is both warm and functional. A small decorative shawl with some dark golden threads on it, and the buttons of the shawl are carved into a miniature silver sculpture of the goddess Mel.

Generally speaking, her clothes still do not fall out of the category of orthodox mage wear, but this set of clothes has a hint of a dress and is very versatile.

As for makeup…

Wei Lin, as always, wore no makeup.

There seemed to be no concept of cosmetics in her world. Even now, she simply arranged her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze, and her complexion looked slightly rosy and lively.

Xiuge immediately averted his gaze and stopped observing Wei Lin. After obtaining the other party's consent, he walked into Wei Lin's room.

In terms of the layout and organization of the room, Wei Lin continued her previous style. However, in just a short while, she had roughly transformed the place into something that suited her own habits. Now Xiuge could still see a mage's hand. Carefully adjust a secret ritual ornament set on the table according to Vaelin's wishes.

After the door was closed, Xiuge quickly told Weilin his findings and a series of arrangements. The news made Weilin's expression become serious again. She took out a few blank pieces of manuscript paper, Quickly jot down these important things and say that he will make corresponding preparations and print a batch of magic book pages according to the situation on the cruise ship as soon as possible.

After exchanging this important information, Wei Lin took a step back and glanced at Xiuge.

"I just learned that according to custom, there will be a welcome banquet on the ship after departure...basically all the guests and important crew members, including the captain, will attend."

"That's good, let's go to it...so we can find the vast majority of people on this ship near the ballroom."

Xiuge nodded: "Although there is no way to cover all targets, at least we can conduct the first round of search and screening on the Windless One."

Wei Lin's eyebrows moved slightly: "No...well, what you said is correct, but Mr. Sugar, that's not what I want to say."

"what is that?"

Facing Xiuge's question, Weilin sighed helplessly. Then she manipulated the mage's hand to take out a suitcase from the side and stuffed it directly into Xiuge's arms: "Although it is not a grand occasion, , but you should at least change into a more formal set of clothes, right?"

As she spoke, Wei Lin pointed at the edge of the windbreaker that Xiuge was wearing. Xiuge lowered his head and discovered that there was a not-so-obvious gap on the side of his windbreaker. It was unknown whether it was left by the former Black Sun Society mage. Yes, it was broken by that strange fish.

Immediately afterwards, Xiuge discovered that the relatively clean coat on his body actually had a lot of signs of wear and tear. The collar, cuffs, and edges of the hem had all been discolored due to friction. There were even two holes on his trousers. The inconspicuous spots seemed to be blood stains, which should have been stained when he used the scepter to beat the Black Sun Society mage.

Wei Lin's voice continued: "Dear Mr. Shuge, what you are about to face are not your readers. Be careful to leave some bad impressions on those officials and scholars... Of course, I don't like those formal ones either. occasion, so I suggest that we complete the goal as quickly as possible, and then we can leave."

While they were talking, a steady vibration of magic power came from under their feet. This was a sign that the magic circuit buried inside the ship's hull began to operate.

A rich flute sounded above the ship.

As a large number of high-quality magic crystals were crushed, mixed, and then burned by huge machines inscribed with complex ritual sites, magic was squeezed out and flowed to various parts of the ship through those circuits. A large amount of steam is emitted through the chimney...

The Windless One officially set sail according to the scheduled plan.

When the flute stopped playing, Wei Lin waved her hand to Xiuge: "Go ahead, we'll see you in ten minutes... You don't want me, the teacher, to teach you how to change clothes, do you?"
