The sun is high

In Van En, the concept of a deep-sea mage always walks between the mystery that is difficult to fathom and the reality that can be touched personally.

On the one hand, deep-sea level mages are indeed extremely rare and have extremely high status and status. They always stay in their own mage towers to conduct research day and night, or they change their appearance and name in Van En. Go on a tour or study tour.

On the other hand, some of them are extremely secular. Among them, the deep-sea mage Yetvich who joined the Black Sun Society is a typical representative - becoming a direct spokesperson for a certain god's belief, or establishing a A large society and has been active for a long time as the main leader of the society.

In this case, ordinary people in Vanen often have the impression of deep-sea level mages from the latter, but in fact, those who are in love with magic and academic research and are willing to devote themselves to it are the best among deep-sea level mages. most.

This large elevator rose very fast. It didn't take long for its speed to slow down. After violent trembling, the elevator finally stopped. Then Xiuge saw a magic curtain wall directly in front of him slowly moving up. A regular translucent door appeared on the ground.

"We're here, Mr. Ernst."

Professor Weka winked at Shuge: "I heard that you are actually very good at etiquette... You might as well show it more this time. I think it will be helpful."

After saying that, he took a step forward, took off the mage emblem that symbolized his identity, and gently pressed it in the middle of the magic door.

Following Professor Weka's action, a pleasant and elegant short tune came from inside the closed magic door. Then the door slowly opened, revealing a very spacious room with extremely retro and elegant decoration. Appeared in front of Xiuge.

If the office spaces of Merlinle and the Legal Committee can always unexpectedly reflect the characteristics of efficiency and simplicity, then this room now perfectly fits the image of those powerful mages and scholars in ordinary people's imagination. "Stereotype".

Huge bookshelves made of precious wood, each one extending from the floor to the ceiling. They are obviously not just simple bookshelves. With just one glance, Xiuge found a large number of extremely complex magic traces in them. These delicate and rigorous bookshelf The circuit is hidden among those seemingly primitive wooden boards and brackets. Under the operation of these special magics, light yellow mage hands hover around.

A large number of materials and classics are stored in these bookshelves in different categories. Their number and the areas they cover far exceed Shuge's imagination - on these bookshelves, Shuge even noticed a very versatile "extended ritual". ”, which indicates that the actual space inside these bookshelves is likely to be very exaggerated.

The slender and flexible magic puppets stood quietly aside. They obviously played the role of waiters and guards at the same time. On these puppets, Xiuge could easily find some supplies that the waiters would carry with them. Of course, there are Patterns that can trigger powerful magic, as well as crystal blunderbuss and swords installed and hidden in their torsos and limbs.

What attracts even more attention is the central location of this study.

The area was obviously deliberately shaped like a reception room or lounge. Exquisite soft chairs were placed around a round table, and above the round table, there was a huge crystal carved into the shape of the Eye of Mel. Ball, some fine influences can be seen vaguely inside the ball.

At this time, there were several figures sitting around under the crystal ball. It was obvious that they were the "big shots" Xiuge wanted to meet this time.

"Deep sea level mage, um..."

Xiuge narrowed his eyes slightly. He restrained the dark abyss magic power in his body and tried his best to cover it up under his regular magic power. Old Weka, who was walking beside Xiuge, couldn't help but look towards him. glanced in the direction.

Just now, in the perception of the old mage, this young man who had always been sharp and always had some confidence and arrogance suddenly seemed to have undergone a huge change, like a terrifying crystal. As if the gun was stuffed into the holster, Shuge no longer has that strange and slightly cold sense of oppression. Instead, he has become like those young nobles who have received a good education and frequent social occasions. …

Gentle, humble and harmless.

This abnormal and somewhat exaggerated change surprised the well-informed old Weka. Of course, he had no way of sensing the changes in the magic power in Xiuge's body, but simply thought that Xiuge was better in this aspect. It is indeed very good and he really listened to the advice he gave.

Thinking of this, his evaluation of Xiuge was two points higher.

Just when the two of them walked to the middle area of ​​the huge study, a slightly hoarse male voice came from the front: "Bring me two things. One is a letter from Master Merudka, and the other is... It’s the Walter Secret Agent file sent by Princess Walter… I want the original version.”

At his request, Xiuge saw several pale yellow mage hands immediately taking action. They flew in different directions and disappeared among the bookshelves. Obviously, these mage hands were the ones in this magnificent room. The "administrator" in the study room.

After giving the order, the mage turned his head and cast a curious look at old Weka and Shuge: "Okay, our guests have finally arrived, Master Weka, you can go about your business... …It’s a mess over there in St. Steele’s again, isn’t it?”

With that said, the hands of the mages who had left before had gathered together, and a letter and a document sealed in a magic file bag were sent directly to old Weka, which surprised Shuge a little - These two pieces of information, which sounded very important, were actually prepared for Professor Weka. Obviously, the deep-sea level mages in front of them had also learned about the new situation in St. Steele.

"No need to rush people away, honey."

A female mage dressed as a noble lady spoke. Although her dress was far from her identity as a mage, the powerful magic power that was constantly flowing could not be faked - she was also one of the deep sea level mage.

The female mage's voice and face had been treated with specific magic. Without using magic vision, Xiuge found that he couldn't see through her disguise.

The deep-sea-level female mage seemed to have noticed Shuge's careful observation, so she let out a pleasant chuckle, and then put her palm on the shoulder of the middle-aged man before: "We There are quiet little study rooms here, and all the secret rituals are complete. Let our Legal Committee officials work in them. After all, our little friend is also an envoy and representative, so we can't have any accidents here."

Hearing this, Old Weka breathed a sigh of relief. Facing these high-profile heavyweights who had been allowed to intervene in the affairs of the Legal Committee, he could only choose to obey the order, so he winked at Xiuge. , then he held the two important documents and followed a magic puppet towards the other side.

"Relax, don't be too nervous. Put aside their magic, they are just a group of old guys similar to us at best."

General Bernhardt's voice, which was not comforting at all, floated out from Shuge's spiritual world: "Child, you may not know that when you and I were about the same age, we were taken to the royal courtyard by the Augustine royal family. I went there to chat, and after talking nonsense for several hours, I realized that the bald man sitting opposite me was our country..."

After all, he was unable to finish his small words, and the rest of the Ernst family's will had already swarmed forward, pulling General Bernhardt, who was thinking in vain, into the deepest part of Shuge's spiritual world.

However, the Family Will did this not because they couldn't stand Bernhardt's nonsense, but because they felt an extremely obvious sense of prying eyes on the mages in front of them.

"It would be impolite to be distracted at a time like this, young sir."

"Perhaps he is too nervous? Or maybe he wants to seek some kind of help?"

At this moment, the other two deep-sea level mages spoke.

They are two elves, and their faces have the unique lines of the plateau mountain elves.

However, the appearance of these two elf mages is really unbearable - as the elves have always been outstanding in appearance, the appearance of the two in front of them is really a bit extreme.

Not to mention one is fat and the other is thin, the fat one is like a huge ball, the elf lines on his face are completely deformed, while the thin one is like a street lamp pole, with sunken cheeks and black eye sockets, as if He would die suddenly on the spot in the next second.

What surprised Shuge even more was that the two seemed to be twins.

Although the difference in fat and thinness between the two is very exaggerated, their voices and facial features are somewhat similar. More importantly, the frequency of the magic emanating from them is very consistent, which shows that their spirits and souls are extremely close. close.

At this point, the four deep-sea mages mentioned by Professor Weka are all here. In front of these legendary figures with astonishing status, Xiuge naturally showed his most polite side.

Facing the two elf mages, one fat and one thin, Xiuge decisively adopted the standard etiquette of the mountain elves on the plateau. When facing the mysterious noblewoman mage, he offered the greetings common within the plain kingdom—— He noticed that the female mage was wearing an exquisite earring, which obviously belonged to the Desel family of the Kingdom of Delan, which was the family to which the two noble girls who had joined the Black Sun Society belonged.

As for the middle-aged mage who was wearing simple robes and didn't have much memory in his appearance, Xiuge selectively gave common etiquette. He really couldn't tell his nationality and ethnic affiliation.

The thoughtful etiquette brought corresponding benefits. The four deep-sea level mages did not embarrass the young people in front of them. Soon, Xiuge sat on an empty soft chair and officially began to meet these legends. Characters' conversations.

The noble lady, or "Mrs. Delali" gently waved her gloved palms, and the huge Eye of Mel crystal ball suspended above everyone immediately landed, and it flickered twice. , and then an extremely clear image appeared inside.

Shuge immediately saw the venue and naturally saw the progress of the meeting. A familiar figure was speaking. Through the cover of the speech in Weilin's hand, Shuge learned that the topic she was speaking about should be the speech by Wei Lin. "The Directions and Goals of Dawn Society" co-authored by Meyer et al.

In the original meeting, this was a very important issue for the Dawn Society. It was related to the real location of the Dawn Society's "rooting", and also related to which forces and organizations it could get support in the subsequent actions.

Some magic instruments had obviously been set up in the venue in advance. Mrs. Delali glanced at Shuge with interest, and then "zoomed in" the screen, which made Weilin's face and her voice even more... It's clear.

Soon, the content of the speech, which was clearly organized and had a unique "Dawn Society temperament", attracted the attention of several important people present.

After listening for a while, the mage "Edmund" with the most ordinary appearance and extremely simple clothes suddenly looked in the direction of Xiuge. He looked at Xiuge silently, and then a hoarse voice came from his From mouth to mouth.

"Mr. Sugar Ernst...as the successor of the Ernst family, can you answer a few questions for me?"

Shuge has basically determined that this Edmund is the "conservative person" in the words of the old Weka, so he also behaves extremely cautiously: "Please ask Master Edmund, and I will try my best to answer your questions. "

"okay."

Edmund nodded. He thought for two seconds, and then said: "Before starting other topics, I would like to ask a question that may be a bit 'narrow'... What kind of role do you play within the Dawn Society?" role? Or, what significance do you have to Dawn Society?"

This first question already seems a bit tricky.

Hearing such questions, the other three mages also looked over.

On the surface, Xiuge didn't change much, but in his heart, he was very disgusted with this kind of question - it easily reminded Xiuge of the workplace interviews he had experienced in the past, and it was also a legendary "stress".

After a brief thought, Shuge replied: "If this is the question, then my answer is... Within the Dawn Society, I am just a member who happens to have mastered some magic and power and has a relatively complicated experience."

"I can be a window for Dawn Society to communicate with the outside world, but I am not the only one. I can be replaced by others at some point in the future, and this is one of our current goals. "
