The sun is high

Wei Lin glanced at the hand on her shoulder, and then sat down calmly.

At this moment, all the affairs, responsibilities and identities she now carried seemed to disappear. She once again became the girl who stepped into Merlinle and the classroom for the first time, and sat quietly in her seat, waiting for the professor on the stage. Students giving lectures.

Of course, this scene has nothing to do with teaching. Shuge is not a professor, he is even a nominal student of Wei Lin.

Wei Lin's reaction showed that she was in a state of embarrassment and nervousness.

She just sat upright opposite Xiuge, motionless, her hands resting quietly on her legs, and her eyes fell on Xiuge's face. However, when Xiuge turned his eyes over, her eyes dropped again. When he got to the table, he just stared at the magic book he lent to Xiuge.

This look made Shuge couldn't help but laugh.

And his laughter aroused Wei Lin's dissatisfaction. Seeing those two beautiful eyebrows about to turn into sharp blades, Xiuge said: "I was thinking about how to talk about some things... Well, how about we start from Salem City."

"Um?"

Wei Lin's eyebrows calmed down, and she looked at Shuge intently, and then she heard Shuge say: "Actually, I have been confused by the prophecies made by the Black Sun Society... Do you know? When When I looked back at those predictions, I found that they were actually very accurate and not wrong."

Wei Lin was a little confused: "Prophecy? Which paragraph are you referring to?"

"The part about Salem City and me."

Shuge looked around, then took a cup, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then took a big sip.

The taste is a bit bland, but it is enough to refresh yourself and quench your thirst.

Immediately afterwards, that memory became clear in Xiuge's mind, and he slowly said: "The war will be preceded by the black sun, and the only son of the abyss will be born in the sacrifice pit... Haha, I still Remember, we saw this sentence when we were preparing to escape from Salem City."

Wei Lin nodded slightly: "Yes, I remember, it was in the mansion of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce."

At this point, she paused slightly, and then asked carefully: "Do you want to tell me that you are the 'only son of the abyss' in the prophecy?"

"That's not true."

Xiuge shook his head: "Judging from various signs, the so-called 'Only Son of the Abyss' refers to something else, but its birth is very directly related to me, and I do have some secrets related to it. .”

"Are you referring to the magic and power you have?"

Wei Lin blinked, and she showed a rare smile: "If these are secrets, you don't have to tell me... The mad poet Azifu once mentioned implicitly in "Poetry of the Night" that leaking and sharing these secrets Secrets will likely receive unnecessary disaster and attention."

"Well, that's true, but what I want to tell you today is another secret."

At this point, Shuge leaned forward slightly. He stared at Weilin seriously, and then said slowly: "If I tell you that I was never the real Shuge Ernst from the beginning, you will have a problem. What kind of idea?"

After hearing these words, Wei Lin's eyebrows finally raised uncontrollably.

Confused, surprised, wary...

A series of different colors flashed across Weilin's face quickly. For a moment, she almost reached out to touch her magic book. However, for some reason, she finally stopped this action and stood up. Two additional layers of protective magic were added to the room that was already shrouded in the isolation ritual venue.

After confirming that there were no omissions, she sat down again.

"When do you mean 'at the beginning'?"

"From the first two days of our first meeting, of course."

Xiuge's tone was very steady, as if what he was talking about were just trivial and insignificant things.

Perhaps because Xiuge's tone was calm enough, or perhaps because she trusted the face in front of her enough, Weilin did not question Xiuge's words, but just looked at him quietly, her bright eyes urging him. Zhu Xiuge continued to describe.

The Wei Lin that Shuge is familiar with is probably back.

This pair of eyes reminded Shuge of the first time she saw "Charron's Touch" and "Running Rat". However, at that time, there was only surprise and curiosity in her eyes, but now it was obviously a bit more mixed. More special ingredients.

Under Wei Lin's expectant gaze, Shuge said: "I'm not sure whether the Black Sun Society made some arrangements for the real Shuge Ernst before my 'arrival'. In short, I'm like Like those creatures who were called in the summoning ceremony, they were brought into this world and became the master of this body... This happened a few days before you and I met."

Wei Lin looked at Xiuge, as if she wanted to confirm the authenticity of these words.

Then she blinked and asked curiously: "Before you became 'Sugh Ernst,' you were..."

"He is also a human being, and an ordinary person. Even his name has some similarities with 'Suge Ernst'."

Xiuge couldn't help but recall the past, and then laughed at himself: "As for profession, from Fan En's point of view, he is probably an ordinary clerk, and what he usually writes is not anything particularly serious..."

After hearing this, a subtle smile appeared on Wei Lin's face: "It matches this body very well."

"Thank you for the compliment, but the things I wrote before were not as popular as the original works in this capacity."

"So this explains the change in style in your later works?"

Wei Lin thought for a while and said: "In Merlin Lehe, quite a few spellcasters who specialize in summoning rituals and magic believe that the essence of summoning magic is actually using magic power and rituals to connect creatures or creations that exist in another world. …”

"Although I have never heard of a case of directly summoning another human soul in the past, if it is an ancient ritual outside of today's magic system, it makes sense."

Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and then she asked: "So, your powers...I mean the creations you can summon, and the lost magic you possess, are all related to this?"

She thought for a moment, then nodded: "Well, no wonder you were able to recover from the entanglement of those 'silts' when we first escaped from Salem City, instead of being ' Infect' or engulf."

Weilin's receptive ability was as strong as ever. She did not rush to ask for the details, but chose to continue listening.

So, Xiuge truthfully confessed: "I once suspected that the powerful being who brought me to this world had some ulterior motives. I also worried that he might influence my mind and order I served the ancient gods or the black sun of the past like the Black Sun Order...but later, when I was forced to go to the gathering of the Black Sun Order, He helped me and allowed me to successfully escape from the circle of the Order. leave."

"I don't think I need to talk too much about what happens next. You basically know everything..."

Hearing this, Wei Lin couldn't help raising her hand and pointing in the direction of her head: "So, the dome that should have existed above Watch City was also destroyed by him? He...is on our side?"

"As far as I know, he still has a lot of dissatisfaction with today's Van En, but in general, he will hate those ancient powers and the black sun even more."

After hearing these words, Weilin closed her mouth.

She did not continue to sit in the chair, but stood up and began to pace back and forth in the room anxiously.

After walking nearly ten times, she finally stopped in front of Xiuge: "These... should be your own secrets. They are very important. If the Black Sun Society knows..."

"Don't worry, they already knew."

Shuge smiled and shook his head: "It's just that they have some misunderstandings on this matter... They believe that Shuge Ernst's soul has long been replaced by the 'sludge' they summoned. However, some accidents occurred during the process, which led me to stand on their opposite side.”

Wei Lin pursed her lips: "That's why they have been pursuing and wanting you."

"Ha, maybe, maybe it has something to do with me blinding their second person in charge."

Xiuge made a joke casually, but there was no smile on Weilin's face. She just rolled her eyes lightly, and then said in a complaining tone: "Even if the Black Sun Society already knows these things, you You shouldn’t have told me either… This will only add additional risks!”

But this time, her student, who had always been "very obedient" in the past, gave a blunt no.

"No, in my opinion, this matter is very necessary."

Wei Lin was in a daze, and while she was struggling, she saw that Xiuge had stood up at some point and came to her.

Xiuge was much taller than her, so when the distance between them narrowed, Weilin felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made her instinctively want to retreat.

However, the hateful hand that had held her down before reached out again and gently held her shoulders, stopping her retreat.

Then, that gentle and familiar voice penetrated Wei Lin's ears.

"In this world called Van En, among all my friends, comrades, and allies, you are the first one who has truly heard these secrets... Perhaps for a long, long time in the future, you And will be the only one who knows them.”

Wei Lin stood there in astonishment. Her head, which could handle a large number of magic problems and complex plans, became a little blank at this moment. Only Xiuge's words were still floating slowly in it.

"I have always firmly believed that only absolute trust can create stronger and more precious relationships and emotions."

"And now, Miss Wei Lin, you are the person I can trust most in this world."

"I hope it will be the same in the future."

…

Late at night, Xiuge opened his eyes at his familiar "workstation".

Today's dream shelter is exceptionally bright and clear. The lamps that usually only emit dim light seem to have been repaired, spreading the light evenly around.

Under the illumination of these lights, Shuge saw many cracks and defects that had been hidden in the darkness before, which made the shelter itself look somewhat dilapidated.

He quickly stood up and rushed to the other side.

After turning a corner, Xiuge saw the familiar computer and the black figure "paralyzed" in the light of the computer.

He breathed a sigh of relief and then stepped forward.

However, as soon as Shuge came to the side of Theseus, he heard him muttering in an extremely funny, exaggerated and weird tone: "Hey... these two people are so awkward. Fortunately, neither of them is my divine choice. Otherwise, it will be 'bad'!"

There was even a bit of Xiuge's familiar dialect.

Shuge didn't want to discuss the previous matter with this guy. He sat down on the chair next to Theseus, and then took a serious look at the "God of All-Changing Faces".

He had become tattered.

Like a tragic doll that had experienced a hail of bullets, Theseus's body was covered with large and small holes and scars, some of which even spanned half of his body. The decent black dress and the chaotic body underneath were torn apart.

It is really hard to imagine what Theseus went through in the past period of time.

Xiuge asked carefully: "How on earth... did you become like this? Is it because of the 'big hunt' in the Dark Abyss Palace?"

"Big hunting? That kind of boring periodic activity can't affect me."

Although Theseus looked a little weak, he was somewhat indifferent to the large and small gaps in his body. As he spoke, he picked up a piece of clothing on his body as if playfully, and pulled two pieces apart very nonchalantly. Down.

He completely slumped on the back of the chair, looking like a workhorse who had just worked overtime for two nights.

Then Xiuge heard Theseus say: "If you want to attack the dark abyss directly, it is still a bit too much... After all, I am more suitable to hide behind and play some dirty tricks, rather than stand in front and fight hand-to-hand. This is really It’s so rude and almost violates my own personality.”

He just started complaining randomly.

After chatting a few words casually, Theseus raised his head slightly, with a classic "sleepy" expression on his chaotic face: "Although I have completely escaped from the dark abyss, at the beginning of my birth, its mark was It has been imprinted in my origin... The destruction of the Black Sun Association ritual has completely exposed me to the gaze of the dark abyss."

"This is very bad news... Although I will not be afraid of any big hunts, I cannot skip my own origin and conflict with the Dark Abyss itself."

"If something like that happened, at any time it could completely take away my power and make me disappear completely."
