The sun is high

"Something important?"

After listening to Felix's words, Meyer couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Okay, Felix, it's not a good habit to whet people's appetites at night... What did you find?"

Hearing Meyer's question, Felix turned around and nodded to the elf mage who was following him.

The latter immediately stepped forward. He carefully and quickly checked around the room. After confirming that the rituals used for protection and isolation were functioning normally, he turned back to the door and placed a long wooden box. Fetched it.

Meyer knew this wooden box.

In the army, this kind of long wooden box is often used to store and keep some precision firearms, and the surface of the wooden box in front of Meyer has obviously been temporarily processed - on the wooden box, he saw the use of The special patterns engraved on the magic silver indicate that the objects contained in the wooden box are most likely to contain magical powers.

After getting permission from Felix and Meyer, the elf mage opened the wooden box and took out the objects placed inside.

It was a slender column wrapped in layers of clean velvet.

The elf mage stretched out his hand to untie the velvet. His movements were a little slow and extremely careful. After he removed all the velvet, a special-looking metal cane appeared in the sight of Meyer and Felix. among.

Almost instantly, Meyer recognized the cane.

He remembered that for a long time in the past, Shuge would always carry this cane with him.

According to Shuge himself, this cane has a very special meaning to the Black Sun Society and to himself. To a certain extent, this cane itself carries part of the authority within the Black Sun Society.

However, now, the surface of this cane obviously has some strange details that are different from those in the past.

The surface of the cane that should have been complete and smooth now clearly has many scars and damage. There are even several rather tragic-looking scratches in the middle part. What is even more strange is that under the light of the desk lamp, Under the illumination, a strange color that is constantly changing and flowing appears faintly. They surround the surface of the cane, jumping over the tragic scratches like running water.

This is reminiscent of a soft ribbon.

Blue ribbon.

"This is Mr. Sugar's cane."

Felix said in a deep voice: "Based on the information we know, it is very likely that this cane was accidentally lost by him during the fierce battle that night... and after that night, the Black Sun Society took this cane Find it and use it as a proof of 'killing important enemies'."

Meyer frowned: "If that's the case, they should have moved the cane to the rear in time, or even put it on tour, instead of letting it stay until now."

"Yes Professor, I'm very confused too."

Felix nodded: "According to our preliminary judgment, most of the Black Sun Society mages who are carrying this cane and preparing to transfer out of the city are responsible for the magic research function within the Black Sun Society. Therefore, I suspect that there may be something on this cane." There were some...well, signs that were beyond the expectations of the Black Sun Society. In short, they did not choose to transfer it immediately or destroy it, but delayed it until now."

Meyer nodded, and then he looked at the elf mage beside him: "Consultant Hetra, when it comes to magic, Felix and I are just laymen. You are a professional, and I want to hear your judgment. "

The elf mage Hetra took a step forward. He carefully looked at the other metal cane, then took off his magic book, tore out several pages from it, and quickly set up various settings in the room. A special ritual dedicated to identifying magical objects.

After a while, Consultant Hetra ended his observation of the cane. He raised his head and said to Meyer and Meyer: "I'm sorry, two gentlemen... with my personal ability and existing conditions, I’m afraid I haven’t been able to conduct a detailed enough analysis of this cane, but now, I do have some discoveries.”

He borrowed a slender pen from Meyer and pointed towards the cane: "This cane is made of a very special material. It is not normal steel, nor is it the kind of magic mixed with a small amount of magic-killing silver. Alloy... The only thing I can be sure of is that this cane is a natural magic medium. The magic power will not be lost when passing through its interior, and it can even further stabilize its own structure. This is probably why Mr. Ernst chose to use it. One of the reasons it’s used as a weapon.”

Then, the ink pen in the hand of Hetra's consultant moved to the rather tragic-looking scars: "These scars were created not just by brute force from the outside world, but by some kind of magical impact and damage. ...If I have to describe it, it may be closer to the magic explosion caused by crystallized cannonballs, and it is actually more concentrated than the magic explosion."

Now Felix understands this kind of problem very quickly. He carefully inspected the scar on the cane and found that it was actually more like the claw mark of some kind of beast, so he asked: "We Can it be understood as some kind of powerful destructive magic?"

"Yes, but not very accurate."

Consultant Hetra corrected: "The reason why I mentioned the word 'brute force' before is because I did not detect any obvious magic model residue in this scar... and this also means that this kind of The scar was most likely a pure and direct external force."

"Pure and direct external force?"

Meyer seemed to realize something. He raised his hand and pointed out the window: "Is it the same as those 'claw marks' in this city?"

"Yeah, relatively similar."

When the word "claw marks" was mentioned, the Elf Mage Consultant's expression visibly trembled. As a spellcaster who values ​​logic and rationality, he really resisted talking about such horrific marks in Watch City.

However, these traces exist objectively, and it is impossible for any spellcaster who steps into this city to avoid them.

They must realize that just a month ago, some kind of terrifying "beast" that was beyond Van En's existing magical theoretical framework descended on the city. It just waved its claws twice, and the cracks it created penetrated Destroyed the entire Watch City, and caused countless residents, soldiers and spellcasters to evaporate on the spot.

What makes Hetra and other mages even more difficult to accept is that on that night, the original owner of the cane in front of them, the extremely young legend, actually fought this terrifying monster head-on on his own. confrontation……

No matter what, there is no way to think too much about this kind of thing. Once you are immersed in it, it is easy to question everything you have learned and mastered.

However, as a member of the Sword of Dawn, Advisor Hetra had to come into contact with these traces left by Shuge Ernst. The more he came into contact with them, the more shocked and powerless he felt.

And the cane in front of him now has become another proof of the astonishing deeds of Huge Ernst.

After controlling his emotions, the elf consultant said seriously: "The material of this cane alone may not be enough to resist that... well, abnormal force."

He gently turned the ink pen in his hand, traced the light and shadow flowing on the surface of the cane, and said: "You two should be able to see it, right? This is magic, highly condensed, concentrated and extremely pure magic...seriously , it is simply more attractive than the most expensive and rarest crystalline minerals in the world."

"So what you're saying is that it was this kind of magic that allowed Mr. Ernst to fight against that monster?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure, after all, it hasn't been carefully verified yet."

The elf mage looked at Felix who was standing aside: "That night, many people saw the 'miracle' that happened in the center of the city, especially the people in this city. They called that scene 'Miracle'." 'Your Footsteps', or 'The Breath of the Sinar Sea'."

"um, yes."

Having said this, Felix couldn't help but shake his head.

To this day, he can still recall the pious expressions shown by the residents of Watch City when they talked about this miracle.

After experiencing that night, every one of the survivors in the city spontaneously became Mel's most devout follower. There were even quite a few people who had previously chosen to follow the Black Sun Society. After seeing the blue miracle that looked like a waterfall falling from the sky, I changed my mind.

Nowadays, the residents of this city that has endured both disasters and miracles are even more pious to the goddess Mel than the residents of Merlin Lehe.

In front of that exaggerated spectacle, the name Sugar Ernst seems a bit insignificant. Even though the name itself is legendary, no one in this city can accurately retell it. Proof of what Shuge did that night.

This situation made Felix feel quite sad.

"Two gentlemen, it is obvious that this cane is the weapon used by Sugar Ernst himself... and to this day, this cane still has many traces of that night, although I can't believe it to this extent. The magic will appear on the staff used by a young mage, but in any case, this should be able to prove the important role Mr. Ernst played that night."

Hearing this, Meyer, who had been silent, nodded.

He returned to the chair behind the desk, sat down slowly, and then looked seriously at the Elf Advisor and Felix in front of him: "What does the Legal Committee think of this matter? I mean On the matter of 'Mel's Miracle'."

Felix quickly answered: "Up to now, Merlin Lehe is still sparing no effort to promote the publicity of this matter... Of course, their main emphasis is on the Goddess Mel against Van En destroyers and blasphemy against gods. The punishment of the perpetrator.”

As he spoke, Felix patted the wooden box containing the metal cane with his hand: "In this matter, Merlin Lehe is obviously not willing to mention the Dawn Society, let alone Shuge. Of course, their internal There’s a lot of disagreement now, too.”

He looked at Meyer seriously: "Professor, the current cooperative relationship between the Sword of Dawn and the Sword of the Law Council is very close, especially the Sword Holding Hermitage. Some hermits and mages within them are deeply involved and will be involved. It involves the cultivation and training of new personnel as well as the transcription and encryption of some secret information, so once this matter enters the process, I am afraid it will be reported to the Legal Committee immediately."

"You don't want the Legal Committee to touch this matter?"

"At least at this stage I am opposed to it."

Felix acted very seriously: "First of all, if the Legal Committee takes over this matter, they will most likely not change their original strategy. They may even describe Mr. Sugar himself as The messenger of the goddess Mel, this is not a good thing for him or the Dawn Society."

"Secondly, there are quite a few people within Merlinle who have been trying to push the Legal Committee to strengthen its control over us. They have obviously become more active after we entered Watch City, which is contrary to the original intention of the Dawn Society. And if they know about this, the impact in this aspect is destined to become even stronger..."

After finishing his point of view, Felix breathed a sigh of relief: "Therefore, I hope to suppress the interrogation results of this cane and those members of the Black Sun Society first, and make further research and preparations."

"Okay Felix, you make the decision on this matter."

Meyer said: "But don't forget one thing. At the current stage, the cooperative relationship within Van En is very important. Sometimes, we will have to weigh the relationship between our own ideas and long-term goals. You are A pragmatic person should understand what I’m talking about.”

"I understand, Professor."

Felix nodded heavily: "I understand."

Seeing Felix's appearance, Meyer couldn't help laughing: "Okay, it's not too serious, there is no need to look like this... You two have been standing for a long time, sit down first, I I just happen to have some things to ask."

The two of them sat down one after another, so Meyer fetched a kettle and a cup, and while pouring water, he asked: "I heard that the pacification and relocation of the residents in the city have not gone well in the past two days?"

"Yes, after the previous war and the rule of the Black Sun Society, the residents in the city have obviously lost their trust in outsiders."

Felix took a water glass from Meyer, and after taking two sips, he said: "We have specially mobilized the miner army and recruited many volunteers, but after experiencing the 'miracle' personally, After that, many people have concluded that this place has become a place favored by the gods, and if they leave, they will be violating the will of the gods... They are not willing to listen to anything they say."
