The sun is high

Not only the mages and scholars stayed here, but there were also two gloomy, tall sword-wielding hermits.

As the staunchest supporters of the Legal Committee and the most loyal believers of the Magic Goddess Mel, when Shuge snapped his fingers at the hounds, they had already tightened their grip on their weapons, and even pinched them with their palms. Bottle of potion, as long as Shuge makes further dangerous moves, they will attack without hesitation.

Not only them, but the other mages, especially those with military experience, also made preparations for the battle at the same time.

Of course, these details did not escape Xiuge's perception and detection, but he did not panic because of it.

In fact, Shuge did not have any means to control the hounds. The reason why these hounds were stimulated just now was because they felt the fluctuations of the same power as himself. Of course, he did not need to explain himself to anyone. Faced with these guys who always had an absolute advantage in conversations, what Xiuge wanted to do was just to slightly increase his bargaining chip.

Of course, he is not afraid of the threats from these mages and sword-wielding hermits.

This is a direct result of increased strength within the body.

For a moment, Xiuge even really judged the real combat effectiveness of the members of the Legal Committee in front of him. Then he realized that although it was absolutely impossible for him to annihilate all potential opponents in this environment, but But it was enough to protect himself. With the fighting power of palace hounds, running rats and other creatures, he even had the confidence to break through the siege from the front.

However, this is definitely the worst option. After all, in the towering mage tower not far away, a group of deep-sea level mages are having a meeting. The deterrent they bring is much stronger than the people in front of them.

As for the official in front of him who made unreasonable demands, Xiuge really didn't take it seriously.

Just as Xiuge said, no matter what the reason and purpose of raising these questions are, he does not have the qualifications and ability to explore Xiuge's personal secrets and privacy with such an attitude. After all, even if the representatives of the Dawn Society and the meeting are left alone, Not to mention a series of titles and identities such as participant, magic consultant, etc., Shuge has the ability to crush such a guy on the spot.

And it's "crush" in the physical sense.

The moment the official and Xiuge looked at each other, he felt like he saw two oppressive and terrifying abyss on the other person's face. The rolling black shadows were like two black suns in the sky. Projection is scary and scary.

Professor Qiao An, who is in charge of affairs here, is naturally not a dull and simple scholar. As the second person in charge of the emergency affairs office, he has rich experience and a keen mind, so he was aware of Xiuge's intentions and true thoughts on the spot.

Professor Qiao An immediately turned around, angrily scolded his colleague, and then looked at Shuge with helplessness and apology: "Mr. Ernst, your temper is much stronger than the rumors say, a lot. People say you are actually a humble and gentle young man."

"Humility and gentleness also depend on the occasion, otherwise I would not be able to escape from Salem City twice."

"That makes sense."

Professor Qiao An smiled and nodded, and waved his left hand forcefully behind him twice. Then the hostility that was brewing immediately began to subside, and the palms holding the magic books and weapons slowly loosened. Only the two holding The Sword Hermit was still on alert at this time.

They had been inside the Sword-bearing Hermitage before, so they also heard about the visit of Shuge Ernst. Therefore, they also knew that after the visit, the person in charge of the hermitage had no idea about the man who had logged in. The young nobleman who was on the monastery's blacklist had very exaggerated opinions.

So they have to be cautious in this matter.

At this moment, the previously closed metal door reopened, and then a team composed of sword-wielding hermits, ordinary guards, and mages appeared in front of everyone.

Standing at the front is an old-looking Legal Committee official. He also wears an "Eye of Mel" badge. His badge is directly carved from magic crystals. Compared with what Xiuge saw before, Similar emblems will be more conspicuous.

Behind the old official, a familiar face poked out.

After all, Wei Lin didn't rest for too long, but after washing and eating, her energy was much better than before. She wrinkled her nose in the direction of Xiuge, and then glared at him hard. Obviously Wei Lin knew very well that the tense atmosphere here was inseparable from Shuge himself.

"We meet at last, young Mr. Ernst."

The old Legal Committee official glanced around, and wherever he looked, all the mages present bowed their heads slightly, including Professor Qiao An and the official who had previously questioned Xiuge.

His eyes finally fell on Shuge, and then the old man with a kind face and a very natural smile said: "You and my old friend are indeed similar. It seems that the military temperament of the Ernst family It has continued very well..."

"Who are you talking about as a friend?"

"Of course it's Walter's old falcon. Is he in good health?"

Although Shuge didn't have much affection for Lao Zeke, the other party openly mentioned his "elder" on this occasion, obviously to show his goodwill, so Shuge responded very cooperatively: "I have I haven’t been back to Bolden for a while, and I also heard some news about my grandfather from Princess Sophia... The current situation and the changes in St. Steele put a lot of pressure on him. Fortunately, his My body is relatively healthy, but I get tired easily."

"This will always happen as you get older. Zeke doesn't like using alchemy potions yet. It's normal for energy to decline."

The old official smiled and nodded: "Well, please forgive me, this old man, who just eavesdropped outside the door for a long time. I remember that Mr. Ernst seemed to have mentioned the topic of 'qualifications' just now, haha... Although... It sounds a little rude, but I personally agree with it."

As he said that, he winked at Shuge.

After saying such a sentence, the expression changes of the people present became very diverse and wonderful.

The face of the official who had great opinions on Xiuge became a little gloomy, and his eyes became panicked. Professor Qiao An, who was standing next to him, moved two steps silently and put on a very serious expression. The classic eyes look at the nose, and the nose looks at the heart.

The arriving official was not surprised by the change in the scene before him. He kept a smile and said to Shuge: "Come on, Mr. Ernst, let's go outside and talk slowly... Here, let's leave it to the experiment itself. , the information you gave is indeed important, but as scholars, they still need to verify it themselves."

After saying that, he gestured to the mages who were following him. These mages carrying various instruments, documents and supplies immediately walked towards various parts of the laboratory. They were obviously all added by the Legal Committee. "Reinforcements" here.

Seeing Wei Lin winking at him not far away, Shuge also walked out with his cane. When passing Professor Qiao An, Shuge turned his head and whispered: "Professor, I will give you some information I have learned." You know, I’ve sorted out the content that may be helpful to you and will have it sent here later.”

"Thank you very much, I will inform other assistants in advance."

Professor Qiao An was still very friendly to Shuge: "If we have the opportunity, let's discuss it face to face. My intuition tells me that as a scholar, I should have a long communication with you, Mr. Ernst."

"Thank you very much, Professor."

A moment later, as Shuge left the laboratory, the heavy metal door was closed again. According to Shuge's guess, the scholars of the Law Committee should begin to use special methods to test the habits of these dark abyss hounds in order to deal with them. Verify the information you gave yourself.

The old Legal Committee official led Shuge and others outside and began to introduce himself: "This is my first time meeting you, Mr. Ernst. I am Weka, and my full name is Weka Badat. , that is, the person in charge of the Public Magic Affairs Office who sent you the invitation letter to the meeting."

"Professor Weka."

At this time, Xiuge had already restrained his previous arrogance. He nodded very politely to the old mage in front of him: "If these mistakes hadn't happened, I remember that I would have paid a visit to you today."

"Ah, yes, your young man has been here twice before... They are all very good young people. Although they are not magicians, they are more energetic than us spell casters."

The "young man" that Professor Weka refers to is obviously Richard. Among the members of the Dawn Society who came to Merlin Lehe, Richard is definitely the most active and proactive one. Shuge can feel it in him. He has developed a very strong curiosity about the surrounding things. He is continuing to study round after round as planned by Felix, Daswell and others, and always maintains a very high level of knowledge about all this. focus and enthusiasm.

Shuge shook his head: "Richard knows that Professor Weka evaluates him in this way, and he might become proud."

"Haha, if that's the case, you can consider letting him become an apprentice with me, not in magic, but in these... well, political aspects."

The old mage said slowly: "I have always thought that it is extremely inappropriate for the Legal Committee to limit the participants of all official affairs to spellcasters. This makes our manpower very tight, and it is difficult to make decisions when making decisions. Sometimes, it's easy for the 'only the caster theory' situation to arise. You should understand what I'm talking about, right?"

This topic was not easy to pick up, so Weilin, who had always been chatting with Weka before, simply chose to remain silent. Anyway, now that Shuge was nearby, it was most appropriate to leave this kind of matter to him.

Shuge glanced at Wei Lin, and then responded: "The number of spellcasters is limited after all. Even if Merlin Lehe can relax his conditions and absorb those wild mage societies like the council, he will eventually also need to go Faced with a vacancy in manpower... and under the current circumstances, the 'spellcaster-only' theory may create a lot of hidden dangers."

"That's true."

Professor Weka seemed helpless. He was silent for two seconds and said: "When those invitations were sent out, I was still the head of the Public Magic Affairs Office, but now, I have to take care of two different fields at the same time. ...Haha, I'm afraid Qiao An didn't expect that his old partner who has been working with him for twenty years has already become a member of the Black Sun Society, right?"

Old Weka raised his hand and nodded around: "In just a few days, the personnel responsible for these important affairs were screened back and forth several times, and countless people were directly dealt with. Obviously, The person in charge has also changed a round... Fortunately, no more deep-sea level mages like Yetvich fell, otherwise we might not be able to hold this meeting."

After some sighs, everyone also came outside. After passing through strict checkpoints and conducting several searches of different specifications, they finally entered a slightly small room. It could be seen that this was a small room. A temporarily converted office and study room.

"Don't mind that the place is small. The originally planned conference room is no longer available, so just make do with me here."

Professor Weka very kindly used the hands of the mage to bring clean water cups and beverage bottles. This appearance reminded Xiuge of the "old leaders" in his impression, but this Professor Weka didn't think so. I can make "Kung Fu Tea" from the far east.

"When you say it can't be used, you mean..."

"Remember what I just said about Joan's old partner?"

Wei Lin carefully took the tea cup from the mage's hand, and then she asked: "Are you talking about the previous person in charge here?"

"Yes... when he faced the pursuit of the sword holders, he resisted very fiercely and used some evil magic... The result was very bad. He and the other sword holder both exploded, and the two of them almost It merged with the conference room, and the magic power penetrated into the wall, and became mixed with the magic circuits solidified in the building, making it impossible to clean them."

In this way, Professor Weka easily described an extremely bloody and even terrifying scene. He put down the beverage bottle, took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, then waved his hand and drove away the person who had been following him. Beside him was the apprentice secretary and the sword-wielding hermit as his escort.

After the door was closed, Weka slowly sat down opposite Shuge. He carefully examined the young man in front of him, and then asked: "Mr. Ernst, let me ask you, do you think the Legal Committee Should the association begin to comprehensively promote research on the subject of 'evil magic', and use this to achieve confrontation with the Black Sun Society and the Black Sun?"
