The sun is high

"We have to head north."

Perhaps because the topic was too important, after one cigarette burned out, the two people under the street lamp lit up a second one in unison.

"Yes, to be precise, northwest...towards our hometown."

Meyer took off his hat and pressed it on his chest. On the distant sea, the lights of the Dawn Goddess and other ships were still bright. Since they withstood the attack from the deep sea, these ships were The ships that temporarily serve as coastal defense lines and forts are always in a state of combat readiness.

"Hometown, ha."

Daswell took a long puff of cigarette, and then slowly spit it out. His hair was already a bit messy, so in the dim light, Daswell looked a little bit like those refugees who had traveled far away. Similar.

"In my memory, St. Steele has become less clear. I have almost forgotten what my hometown is like..."

Daswell leaned against the lamppost. He glanced at his friend beside him and sighed: "But now, we need to take so many people who have nothing to do with Saint Steele in that direction. Once the war starts again , or if some new disaster breaks out, they will most likely never come back."

"To have one group of people stay away from their hometown for the sake of another group of people's hometown and motherland, to be honest, I'm not sure whether this is the right thing to do."

He also looked at the Dawn Goddess in the distance, which was covered with a layer of bright light: "Meyer, when we first gathered together, it was not entirely for the sake of these things."

"yes."

Meyer nodded in agreement, but then he added: "But at that time, we didn't think that Van En would become like this, right?"

As he spoke, he clicked on the document in Daswell's hand: "Look at the other side. Shuge sent us a brief letter from Merlinlehe. He emphasized some of his views on the current situation. There are also some details in it. Contains his thoughts on the future direction of Dawn Society."

While his friend was reading the letter, Meyer said slowly: "I completely agree with his point of view. Although at first glance, our young comrade's ideas may be a bit 'practical', but in this crisis, At this moment, what is practical is often the best. I know that you have more detailed and far-reaching ideas about the future of Saint Steele and even Van En, but all of this requires a prerequisite."

Daswell's eyes quickly scanned the letter, and soon he saw the words Shuge wrote in the letter.

"I think the main goal of Dawn Society at the moment should be consistent with the Law Council, Votel and more countries and organizations in Vann - any ideals and ultimate goals should be based on the fact that Vann is still intact and civilization is still intact. On the basis of survival, that is to say, we need to focus our most efforts on confronting those terrible disasters.”

"I know, I know..."

Daswell nodded, but his face showed a bit of disappointment: "And this is destined to be a long battle. We are not those long-lived elves. I am afraid that we will not be able to see the final result of this battle."

Meyer raised his hand and patted his friend's shoulder heavily: "So, I value Sally very much... I very much hope that there will be more young students like her, maybe when we change Based on the location, we should try to establish a college and recruit more students?"

"Ha, haven't I advised you on these things a long time ago?"

"It's not too late to think about it now, right?"

Meyer put out the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile: "These plans can be sorted out by Felix first. He is also a young man and is better at dealing with other young people than us... As for us, Before the official march, some additional preparations need to be made.”

"Are you talking about things in the ocean? Shuge mentioned it in his letter. I think this is a bit too absurd."

Daswell frowned and said, "Does he really think that those monsters in the ocean can reach some kind of agreement with us?"

"If the Black Sun also poses a serious threat to them, then I think this idea has a chance to be realized... Even if there is no way to win them over as allies, at least we can maintain a peaceful situation for a certain period of time."

Meyer expressed his thoughts: "Do you still remember the results that Gerald and the others obtained in the laboratory before? These beings in the sea can connect their own power and thinking together. Until now, our experiments There are several 'captives' living in water tanks in the room... If we want to notify them for peace talks, it should be very easy, it just depends on what they think."

"Ah, okay, okay, since there is a black sun hanging in the sky, talking to a school of fish doesn't seem like a big deal."

Daswell threw the cigarette butt on the ground with some boredom and stamped it out: "I hope that by then, they will be able to look at us without looking at food or enemies. I don't want to have to rely on guns and magic to speak. That would be too tiring. ”

As he said that, he reached out again to ask Meyer for a cigarette. However, this time, Meyer stuffed the cigarette box into his pocket: "After I finished speaking, the cigarette is gone... In my opinion, 豼It’s time to listen to what those doctors say, it’s just a minor injury anyway, just bear with it!”

"I think you are the one with too 'practical' ideas!"

The two laughed and cursed at each other, and then walked in the same direction. They were still talking. What Meyer said before, "It's over" was just an ordinary joke.

On the crystal street lamp where the two of them had just been, a brand new poster promoting the Dawn Society was slowly fluttering in the night wind.

On top of this poster, the latest flag logo of Dawn Society has been added.

This logo was led by Gerasimov, the painter who previously painted a huge magic painting on the Fire News. After absorbing contributions from many members of the Dawn Society and incorporating the suggestions put forward by Shuge, this logo was Become concise and special.

It is round, and the outer frame looks like the huge gears in those heavy steam and alchemy machines, but there are many fine magical lines painted on the thick gear frame.

Within the package of this circular frame, there are several intersecting and overlapping patterns.

The first is a standard revolver rifle, slender and stable, running from the lower left corner of the logo to the upper right corner.

Located in the middle is a very classic silver demon-stifling sword, with the hilt facing up and the blade facing down.

On the right side, corresponding to the pattern of the revolver rifle, are tools that can represent craftsmen in different fields at the same time. One end is a wrench, and the other end is a hammer used to knock parts.

Underneath these three overlapping patterns is an open book, which not only represents magicians, but also covers scholars in almost all fields.

These images are not all of this logo.

Just like other flags and patterns in Van En that have been treated with special magic, the Dawn Society's letter logo will reveal more details after being stared at for a long time. Fishermen have previously discovered to their surprise that when they After staring at this sign for a while, they will find that there are faint ripples of water waves underneath the conspicuous patterns.

Some farmers discovered that in the empty space above the logo, there was actually a huge mill windmill pattern hidden, and that was their symbol.

Shuge, who is far away in Merlin Lehe, probably would not have thought that the idea he casually proposed before could actually be successfully realized through the use of magic pictures. In this small symbol, it can really contain such a Lots of details and secrets.

…

Far away in the snowy fields of the north, Merlin Lehe transformed into a huge and efficient machine.

When the Legal Committee successfully completed a rough alliance framework with the help of a group of deep-sea mages, the originally somewhat delayed meeting immediately ushered in a comprehensive speed-up. All proposals that clearly pointed to the interests of individual countries were rejected by the Legal Committee. They will be eliminated from the meeting outline in the most direct way, and the participants who proposed these "useless motions" were immediately reprimanded by the Legal Committee.

The first to bear the brunt is the Kingdom of Hain.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Kingdom of Hain very much hopes to use this opportunity to further consolidate its maritime hegemony among Van En. Even those people of the Hai tribe who have been isolated from secular government affairs for a long time can clearly sense that Hain Kingdom Intentions.

However, in this matter, Xiuge personally was not that resistant.

Under the current circumstances, Van En absolutely needs a powerful enough naval force. Of course, this force cannot simply be controlled by a country or an organization. Facing unknown threats in the sea and sky, It needs to show a sufficiently solid, effective and long-lasting deterrent, and more importantly, it must be stable enough. The blade of this sharp sword must not be pointed at Van En himself, and it should not be used in internal fights.

Regarding these matters, Xiuge believes that the smart people in the Legal Committee must also be very clear. At least the existence of Master Edmund hidden behind the Legal Committee is absolutely impossible to let this happen.

It is not only those issues on the agenda that are beginning to accelerate, but also a series of previous resolutions that have been passed and have begun to be formally implemented.

Among them, the one at the top is naturally the special society dedicated to ancient creations and magic.

"We can be sure that the 'evil magic' that everyone talked about in the past has become a huge stone standing in front of us. If we don't want to be crushed by this huge stone with Van En, then we must come up with the tools we have studied. The spirit and attitude when facing difficult problems, using our knowledge as a tool to smash it before it comes over, or simply carve a path through this damn rock that allows us to pass!"

"I know very well that everyone present may come from different countries and organizations, and may also belong to different societies or mage towers, but I hope that when you come here, you can temporarily put aside the restrictions given to you by these identities. And bound... you will become the first members of the 'Vanen Magic Society', please note, not Merlin Lehe, not the Legal Committee, nor any other country."

"We take Vann as our name, and all our actions here, whether it is academic research, cooperation or quarrels, are only for the future of Vann and all residents of Vann."

"I hope you will keep this in mind."

The person in charge of this important speech was none other than Professor Qiao An, the second person in charge of the emergency office who had had a relationship with Shuge before. He was a steady, highly qualified magic scholar with rich academic research experience. , under the internal adjustments of the Legal Committee, he has stepped down from his original responsibilities, and under the supervision of those deep-sea level mages, he has become the general person in charge of this new society.

Almost everyone voted in favor of this arrangement.

These mages and scholars may inevitably have some opinions on today's Merlin Lehe, but when those important deep-sea mages also appeared at this speech, their inner enthusiasm was completely ignited.

“Promote the research process to the maximum extent, share resources and intelligence to the maximum extent, and tolerate research methods to the maximum extent.”

And when these three "maximum limits" that symbolized the purpose of the "Van En Magic Society" were put forward, people were even more stunned.

But in any case, the establishment of this special and huge magic society can be regarded as announcing the beginning of a new era.

At the same time, Merlin Lehe issued a notice to the entire Van En. From today on, the "Cartel" calendar, which originally symbolized prosperity and development, came to an end, and the "Black Sun" calendar, named after the shadow of disaster above the head, officially start.

Merlinle also sent this notice in the direction of St. Steele.

The implications naturally triggered a lot of speculation among ordinary people.

Shuge walked out of the venue. In the center of the square in the distance, the huge "Cartel" calendar tablet had been covered with a thick velvet cloth. It would soon be removed and sent to Merlin Lehe's grand memorial hall.

"cough."

A gentle cough came from behind. Xiuge turned his head and saw Weilin delivering a small velvet bag in front of Xiuge: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of badges to wear with you in the future. Don't miss this one." ”

Xiuge took the cloth bag and poured the metal badge inside into his palm.

"It's really done..."

He looked at this special badge with a strange style and a faint magical luster, and his expression became a little subtle for a moment.

Wei Lin secretly observed Xiuge, and then she discovered that there seemed to be some kind of distant and vague enthusiasm hidden in Xiuge's seemingly calm eyes. He just stared at the man wrapped in the gear frame. The pattern even seems a bit greedy.
