In the end, Schug fulfilled his promise to "show Schubert the manuscript in advance".

People from all walks of life are prone to develop some quirks of their own.

In the case of Xiuge himself, he likes to shut himself up in a small space, whether it is writing or thinking, in short, he hates to have people standing beside him and examining the fruits of his labor while he is immersed in his work.

This habit has been formed as early as when he was a student, every time he takes a Chinese exam, he is most tired of having a teacher standing behind him and watching him write, once this happens, he will immediately have stiff fingers, blank brain, fidgeting, eager to pick out those eyes that snoop on him on the spot as bubbles.

At the same time, he also hates to have his work examined in front of him.

Especially when he knows that there are some inaccurate contents in his work.

So when Hugg watched the obscene-looking tavern keeper Schubert and the excited-faced Putrin reading his manuscript with a beer glass and red eyes, he inevitably became irritable.

If it weren't for the fear that they would do something unspeakable and strange with their manuscripts on a whim, Xiuge would have chosen to leave a long time ago.

After a while, the two guys finally parted unsatisfactorily, and under the tavern light, two red-faced men huddled together could easily make people have bad associations.

"Really...... True...... That's awesome. ”

Schubert's tongue was already a little knotted, and he trembled as he handed the wad of paper back to Schuge: "But to be honest, there seems to be less excitement, but it's not a big deal, just the imaginable parts are enough!" ”

"Enough, enough!"

Putrin worked as a repeater next to him, and as a young man, his face was now two points redder than that of old Schubert, as if he were about to drip blood.

"You seem to be writing better than you used to...... Ah, I don't quite know how to describe it, maybe it's like some reviewer said, 'The style has changed, but the text is more enticing'. ”

Xiuge smiled, and accepted the praise and compliments of the two, and the evaluation of the two made him feel a lot better, it seemed that he would not show any flaws in his words and works, and the quality of his previous writing was not unsurpassable.

There were a little fewer customers in the tavern, and most of the customers who came here at this time were serious drinkers, and these tired and old guests didn't do anything to pretty girls like those young people, so Sally, who had been busy all day, finally got a chance to rest and sat down next to the three of them.

She placed a plate in front of Shuge.

The dish is simple but well prepared, with two slices of lightly toasted bread and a pan-fried beef in a sauce, topped with some boiled vegetables on top of each other.

Very common combinations.

The cooking method of beef and bread comes from the Kingdom of Waterl, and the fragrant vegetables come from the Kingdom of Teresa, and the cultural traces of the two have long been integrated in the city of Seren, and the combination can be said to complement each other perfectly.

Shuge politely nodded to the somewhat tired girl, "Thank you." ”

"Uh-huh."

Sally curled the corners of her lips playfully, then took a cup and poured herself a beer.

It's really a little bit, it should only be enough for two mouthfuls, but even so, Schubert still cast a dissatisfied gaze: "Much more!" You can't drink that much...... Alas. ”

Before she could finish speaking, the glass had already been lifted by Sally, and after drinking the cold beer with a slightly sour taste, she put it down very happily.

"You're late, uncle, our family makes beer for a living, how can I, as the eldest daughter of the family, not drink?"

"You're too young!"

"Then you still let me be a maid?"

A very classic set of arguments, Schug and Putrin don't want to pay attention to the argument between the two, so one bows his head to eat, and the other gulps down.

The atmosphere was comfortable enough for anyone, but the succulent beef and the taste of the cultivated taste were a little dull because of his thoughts.

He was doing everything he could, remembering and piecing together everything about Vann's world.

This is bound to be an extremely difficult process.

"The main story of Black Sun Age takes place two hundred years later, and if I were to face the world two hundred years later, I might soon find the real breakthrough point, but now all I know is a vague framework, with too many details to speculate, and now, I can only infer from what I know and logic."

He forked a piece of vegetable, a green plant rhizome that tasted and textured like broccoli, but the triangular pattern on it suggested that it was actually a plant that grew in a world full of magical elements.

Shug gently rolled the vegetables in the sauce before putting them in his mouth.

The outline and setting that had been written down scrolled rapidly in his mind: "In the original timeline, the catastrophe of the city of Salem is regarded as the true origin of the 'Black Sun Age', that is, the fall of the city of Salem laid the hidden danger for the forty years of war that swept the whole of Vane, and finally the terrible war was finally detonated by the irreconcilable contradictions between the two kingdoms of Wattle and Teresa. ”

This "Forty Years' War" eventually led to the collapse of the belief in the gods of this world, and finally confirmed the famous prophecy. ”

Shug swallowed the vegetables in his mouth, and he asked, "Puttling, do you remember what the prophecy says?" ”

"Prophecy? What did you say? ”

"It's a prophecy about the 'black sun.'"

Putrin looked at him a little strangely, he had drunk a lot of wine, but he was still in his senses, and he didn't quite understand why Shuge had suddenly asked this question.

Of course he knew what this prophecy was, and in fact it was told in all the kingdoms and civilizations of Brahman.

The origin of the prophecy of the "Black Sun" is long since known, and it has been widely spread, from the rugged Lowe Plateau, to the flat and river-strewn plains of the goddesses east of the kingdom of Teresa, to the eastern kingdoms on the other side of the ocean, which are full of treasures in the mouths of merchants.

However, among the countless versions that have been circulated, the core of the prophecy itself has not changed much.

"One day, the gods will fall into madness, the knights will be devoured by the beasts, and the broken thrones will laugh."

"The eternal black sun will be the messenger of war, the believers who have lost their miracles and divine graces will fight each other, and the nobles who have lost their heirs and crowns will shed rivers of blood."

With a little drunkenness, Putrin finally retold the strange and ominous prophecy.

He stared at the ice cubes that were swaying in the booze and read the last two words of the prophecy.

"People don't look up at the sky anymore because there's only the black sun left."

"People often look up at the sky because there's still a black sun there."

Hugh listened quietly to Putlin's retelling of this prophecy, and to be honest, he felt that Puttling had a talent for being a bard, especially after he had drunk wine, and his tone of voice was subdued and full of emotion, which made him seem a little sentimental, very different from the hot-blooded young man who would fight with him at the slightest disagreement in the daytime.

"How do you talk about such weird things? I always thought that only the members of the Black Sun Society would talk about this all day long. ”

Sally frowned, she was a little dissatisfied with what her two friends were talking about: "It's okay if we hear it, but don't be heard by the people in the Law Committee, be careful that they take you for questioning!" ”

Sugg nodded kindly, and then shoved another piece of beef into his mouth, he certainly had no way to tell Sally and Putrin that everything in this prophecy would soon be fulfilled once and for all, and the damned initiator was sitting in front of them.

Regarding the "Black Sun Society" mentioned by Sally, Xiuge is quite understanding.

It's just that the "Black Sun Society" he knows is also active in the Vann a hundred years later, and in the setting, this is a group of people who worship and pursue the "Eternal Black Celestial Body".

In the mouth of the Legislative Committee, the Black Sun Society is often referred to as the "Black Sun Sect", but the eccentric members of the Association are often reluctant to refer to themselves as sects and believers.

They were active throughout Vann, working to expand the influence of the Society, and to promote a set of magical theories and concepts based on the "Eternal Black Celestial Body" to all parts of Vann.

As a result, the Black Sun Society and the Legislative Committee became direct opponents and enemies.

In the main story of Black Sun Age, players will have to choose between the legal committee and the association, which will determine the faction of both players......

"At this time, the scale of the Black Sun Association should be very limited, and most of the members of the association just blindly believe in that prophecy."

Shugu forked the last piece of bread on his plate, and he thought seriously, "So, what does the Black Sun Formation have to do with the next incident in Seren City?" Damn it...... I should have written in more detail! ”

"Maybe tonight, I should go back to my dream again, I hope I can find more things there that can be 'exchanged' cheaply, with this unstable weird magic at the moment, I haven't dealt with too many emergencies at all, and I need more intelligence and information than force......"

The plate was empty, so Schug looked up.

Old Schubert had gone to talk to a few fox friends, and judging from their excited and somewhat distorted expressions and the glances that drifted over from time to time, the discussion between the old rascals was most likely the manuscript he had just finished.

At this table, Sally was arguing with Putrin about something, and judging by their reactions, it was probably Putrin who had come up with his own somewhat dangerous ideas.

"If you want me to say, even if this prophecy is fulfilled one day, I'm afraid that the world will not be much worse than it is now!"

Putrin slapped the table, his face reddening even more, "Think about it! The city of Salem was the focus of attention throughout Vanne, where the Waters and the Deran lived along...... In fact, everyone should have been separated from each other a long time ago, but what? For such a long time, the conflict between the two kingdoms has never abated, but with every conflict and bloodshed, those of us who have long been integrated with the city of Seren will create a new estrangement! ”

"Disgusting! I find the celebration at this time of year to be hypocritical and disgusting...... Wattle was so strong that he never stopped pressuring the Declans in the city, and at this time, the damned successors and nobles would sit around and tell us that everything was normal, and then wait until the new year to repeat the old things! ”

"That's enough, Putelin."

Shug raised his hand and pressed Puttling's shoulder: "I can understand your resentment, but don't forget, Sally and I are Waterl." By blood, I'm even a member of the Ernst family. ”

“……”

Putrin finally fell silent, sighed weakly, and then put down his glass with a little beer.

At the moment when the glass collided with the table, a violent tremor accompanied by a dull loud sound came from a distance, and the glass in Putlin's hand shook violently, brushing the edge of the table and falling down.

Instinctively, he reached out his hand, and at Sally's exclamation, he firmly grasped the handle of the beer glass, avoiding its doom, but the remaining liquor spilled on Shuge's clothes, which made him smell a lot of alcohol even if he was not drinking.

"Thank you!"

Sally smiled and took the beer glass, her eyes narrowed into two beautiful lines in the smile: "It seems that you are not as weak as you seem, at least you are very agile." ”

"It's just luck."

Although Shuge was also surprised by the instantaneous reaction he had just revealed, he nodded modestly, and then he stood up and patted the red-faced Putrin: "It's not too early, we should go too." ”

"I don't know what's going on in the city just now, be careful."

"Thank you, Miss Sally."

"You can get rid of the word 'Miss'!"

In Sally's dissatisfaction, Shug and Putrin walked out of the beer hall one after another, so Putrin immediately reached out and said with a smile: "Did you hear it, people have long hoped that you could change your name, listen to me, be bold, maybe we can get a discount for drinking here in the future!" ”

However, Shuge ignored him.

Because in the air, he smelled something strange, not the smell of the vehicle burning the secondary crystalline ore, it smelled stronger and more pungent.

It's as if ......

Something exploded.
