The sun is high

Xiuge is no stranger to political performances.

It could even be said to be familiar.

After all, in a world that he simply could not forget, this special performance was going on every moment.

In many cases, it is an effective way to stabilize the overall situation that people cannot get rid of or give up.

Of course, for a considerable number of people, this is a habit and instinct deeply rooted in their blood. It can even be said that this has become their most basic behavioral method.

And now, Prince St. Steele Orski, who was standing on the podium in front of Shuge, was one of the representatives.

From the part of the memory belonging to Baron Ferlando, Shuge got a piece of information that may not be too accurate - Prince Orsky's political methods are actually not clever at all, and can even be said to be a bit clumsy. He is just simple. He is extremely partial to activities like politics, and even in many cases, even Ferlando himself scorned Orsky's ideas and plans.

In Ferlando's understanding, if it weren't for Orski's important significance to the Black Sun Society, I'm afraid he would have been completely replaced long ago. After all, starting from the St. Steele royal family's surrender to the Black Sun Society, Orski Ski has been making mistakes. If there was no association to deal with the aftermath, I am afraid that the royal assassination case in the early years would have been completely exposed.

However, in the eyes of the people in charge of the Black Sun Society, this kind of "good and fun-loving" puppet is the most popular. As long as he is obedient enough and loyal enough to the Black Sun Society and the Lost Faith, even if he may make some mistakes Or cause some trouble, the association can also use extremely violent and direct methods to close the loopholes.

"Fei Orlando! Fei Orlando! Come on, come up!"

Therefore, when faced with the invitation issued by Orsky, Shuge naturally gave the other party the response he deserved.

Although he only plays a distant relative of the St. Steele royal family, in today's scenario, the significance of this relationship has obviously been extremely significantly improved - Orsky very much needs a person who is active in the Black Sun. The members within the association staged a drama of "brothers, friends and brothers" with themselves.

Kezlov's eyes also turned around, and then he saw that the much-discussed Baron Ferlando was struggling to put away the gloomy look on his face, and instead became frightened.

He nodded with great satisfaction, and even added two points of approval in his gaze towards Fei Orlando.

Before making this series of decisions, Kezlov had an in-depth understanding of the relationships between these royal family members. He knew very well that distant royal relatives like Ferlando had no value at all to the royal family itself. In the past, most distant relatives like him couldn't even get a little bit of title, let alone any real power.

Although the relationship between the two cannot be said to be incompatible, it can at least be regarded as a mutual dislike.

In this case, since Ferlando was able to abandon his original emotions and positions and make compromises with the association's arrangements, it is enough to show that he has good qualities in some aspects and that he is indeed aware of the association's plans and arrangements. Arrangements are respectful enough.

For a moment, Kezlov even felt a little dissatisfied with the follow-up plans and arrangements he had made.

"If Ferlando is better than Orsky in these aspects, then maybe I shouldn't simply use him as a bait... Or, I can give him more value and make him more attractive. Will the goal of ensuring the association fall into a trap?”

While Kezlov was thinking, the baron had already embraced the prince intimately in front of everyone, and Prince Orsky naturally read out the opening remarks he had prepared.

Unlike Kezlov, Orsky already assumes some additional responsibilities. Although he is very aware that his "rise" relies heavily on the Black Sun Society, he does not want the St. Steele royal family itself to be completely reduced to As a vassal of the Black Sun Association, he hopes that the royal family can become the embodiment of the association's secular power, or that the royal family can become an inseparable and important component of the association like other large societies.

It is precisely because of this that Orsky fought for this unique opportunity.

He wanted to personally reward this "noble hero" who successfully defended the stability around Watch City, successfully repelled the enemy, and stabilized the situation.

Orsky hopes to convey a hint to the old officials who were once loyal to the royal family and who will soon obey the command of the Black Sun Society-the royal family of St. Steele still plays an important role, even within the society, it Also has a very high status.

Shuge didn't care about Olsky's ideas, because this process was also a huge challenge for him.

From the very beginning, he felt the gaze from Kezlov, which was an unpleasant, condescending detection and observation. His magic was very cold and slippery, as if it was flowing from the gutter in the cold winter. The sewage is like poisonous snakes twisting wantonly.

With Xiuge's current strength, it is very simple to completely cut off this kind of prying eyes. However, once he does so, it is tantamount to actively exposing himself, so he can only choose to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible and put it aside. His own magic power and mental state have shrunk to the extreme.

Fortunately, Kezlov did not intend to use vicious methods like spiritual interrogation on such a "loyal" member of the association in such a public environment. Although his magic detection coverage was extremely wide, it He did not really penetrate into the deepest part of Shuge's spiritual world, and Shuge used his dark abyss magic to fully disguise himself. In the end, Kezlov did not touch the truth hidden under this appearance.

Kezlov isn’t the only one paying attention to Shuge.

Everyone present set their sights on this baron, so Xiuge not only had to ensure that the magic power in his body was normal enough, but he also had to show the side that suited Fei Orlando.

Soon, the right to speak was handed over to Shuge by Orsky.

As one of the few people present who has had a direct conflict with the enemies of the Black Sun Society, he needs to briefly state his knowledge of the enemy to everyone, in order to conclude the prince's speech and make the theme of the gathering Back to mobilization.

This is the most annoying part of Xiuge.

Just like the last time he participated in the association meeting, this kind of personal attack and abuse on the gods of Fan En made Xiuge feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, this kind of behavior has already become a "qualified association member" member" instinct, therefore, relying on Fei Orlando's memory, he finally said those words smoothly.

"A lot of people have heard about what happened at Rock Lake Mine... I would guess that a lot of people here are disgusted with the traitor and are angry with the miners who started the riot."

On the podium, Baron Ferlando, who took over the floor, said: "If you ask me, the former is of course necessary. These traitors are dangerous, and their betrayal of the gods and the truth are extremely shameful and despicable. That is Ignorance of truth is a betrayal of truly valuable ideals.”

Having said this, Shuge glanced in the direction of Prince Orsky, and when he saw him looking at him expectantly, he continued: "However, I only feel pain and regret for those miners who blindly follow them. ...What they lack is proper guidance. As citizens of the Kingdom of St. Steele, the burden of survival on these people is so heavy. What caused all of this was the hypocritical gods and gods that wreaked havoc on Van En in the past. False beliefs…”

There is no doubt that this was not a great speech.

It is very consistent with the level that Baron Fei Orlando should have.

However, both Kezlov and Orsky were very satisfied with this. In their opinion, the Baron's words were just right. He cleverly blamed the death of the miners in the Rock Lake Mine on the enemy. The infiltration and misdirection not only emphasized the correctness of the association strategy and the lost faith, but also eliminated some of the responsibilities that the Kingdom of St. Steel should bear...

In this way, after some stumbling speech, a secret instrument that exuded strong dark abyss magic and was shaped like a black sun pendant was given to Xiuge as a reward.

After Shuge returned to his seat, Kezlov regained the right to speak. In a few words, the real theme of the meeting came to people.

"Let's see, how should we respond to the threats from those fools!"

Following Kezlov's words, the Black Sun Mystery set up in the center of the venue began to hum. Huge flowers entwined and woven by dark roots and vines stretched upward as if they had gained life. And among those When the flowers are in full bloom, a huge magic sand table appears instantly.

At the same time, a large amount of magic power escaped from the interior of the secret ritual. Under Kzlov's command, these magic powers quickly condensed into twisting roots one after another, and they snaked towards the scene. Everyone seemed like the "inviting hand" extended by the secret ceremony to all participants.

"Don't be afraid, don't resist...touch it and let your mind go."

In the dim and mysterious alluring light and shadow, Kezlov's voice reached everyone's ears: "This is the grace of the gods. Everyone, let us see with our own eyes the reality of the past and experience the shadow of the past with our own eyes. !”

Shuge, who was sitting in the front row, raised his eyes slightly.

He saw that Prince Orsky and Kzlov himself, who were on the podium, had raised their palms and touched the winding tentacles. In front of him, there was also a The root tentacles are slowly approaching.

Shuge squinted his eyes and looked at it, and then he discovered that although the interior of this thing was filled with light and shadow from the Palace of Dark Abyss, its shape was quite similar to Charron's Touch, a creation that originated from the ancient ocean god. for similarity.

However, before Xiuge could further observe the details, he noticed a gaze.

That was Kezlov's gaze.

The moment he noticed something strange, Xiuge immediately stopped observing the tentacles. He adjusted his state in an instant. Then, like the other members of the Black Sun Society, he lowered his head and said piously. He said two prayers.

Seizing this brief gap, Xiuge had already built several flexible lines of defense in his spiritual world. Then he raised his head again and slowly raised his hands, like a believer who longed for blessings from the gods. He raised his palm in front of the dark tentacles.

Then the tentacles twisted down and finally wrapped around Xiuge's palm.

At this moment, Kezlov finally let go of his last guard, because he saw that Baron Ferlando, like all believers, had completely surrendered his body and mind to the secret ritual, and completely He immersed himself in the illusion originating from the ancient gods.

Even if he really has a problem, the moment he comes into contact with the will of the god, his spirit will be completely shattered.

After confirming that nothing was missing, Kezlov, as the host of the gathering, also raised his hand, and at the next moment, he also threw his will into the embrace of that great being.

…

The black sun hung high overhead.

Land and sea, hills and hills, forests and deserts...

Those great beings, either tangible or intangible, are constantly colliding and fighting here. They devour and merge with each other, erasing the traces of each other's existence and taking everything the other has as their own.

When these gods collide, the creatures and creations, large and small, that were born based on their power and form are also engaged in rounds of battles, ranging from individuals to ethnic groups and civilizations... …

Cities were built with battles and fell in the midst of strife. Civilizations arose with the breath of gods and died with their slumber.

The eternal black pupils just watched all this quietly.

Those beings entrenched in the depths of the Dark Abyss are indifferent to these changes. They know that although there will always be some powerful so-called gods in this world, these gods and their creations cannot threaten the Dark Abyss itself. They, and the creations that follow them, can only exist as nourishment and prey in the Dark Abyss.

But in the endless river of time, accidents eventually happened.

"The ocean has a mind of its own... It is not a weak individual, but a great will made up of the colors and fragments of countless lives."

In the strange conference hall that was half filled with sea water, the group messenger from the depths of the ocean slowly said: "Charron, this is the name of the boundless ocean... It is the true master of infinite life, the aggregation of endless will, it It is us, we are it, it gives us truth and instruction, and we respond with life and loyalty."
