"I need your help."

When he heard Wei Lin's words, Xiuge's inner emotions were a little complicated.

"You say, why am I, an unlucky bastard who was still thinking about how to escape this little ruined city, start helping you a lake-level magic advisor now? Are you a little ......?"

Shug glanced to the side, and seeing that the patrol in the distance seemed to be approaching, he hurriedly led Wei Lin to the side of the street, where he mingled with the other pedestrians who were hurrying with their heads down.

The patrol began to move down the street, and soon the two of them had a full view of the group.

They were completely different from the previous squad of police officers and Tricolor Brotherhood thieves, and Xiuge was sure that Mrs. Wendy, who had dared to shout at the casual needs of ordinary police officers, would become the most docile citizen in the first place if she saw these guys.

At the head of the line was a Legislator in a dark blue cloak with a magic book and a pendulum of magic in his hand, tall and burly, even stronger than the soldiers in the army, and behind his back, a broad, steel sword that had been clearly specially treated.

The Enforcer's steps were heavy, the Magic Path Pendulum in his hand swaying back and forth as he progressed, and when he approached, Xiuge noticed that the Enforcer of the Law Council was wearing a half-metal mask on his face, covering all the parts below his nose, and when the Enforcer breathed, the two magic crystals embedded in the surface of the mask emitted a cold shimmer.

Behind this executor, there were about ten "police officers", and although they were all wearing the uniforms of the police department in Salem, Xiug still recognized their identities at a glance - long and short swords handled with smothering silver, three daggers hanging from his waist, and in addition to this, they each carried a crystallized gun, these magic guns were clearly different from the existing styles of crystallized guns, and Xiuge actually saw a wheel on them.

"Magic Revolver, ......"

Hug sighed silently, then withdrew his gaze, he and Wei Lin stood at the edge of the street, quietly waiting for the silent procession to pass in front of him, Wei Lin's magic skills were once again proven, the mage with his terrifying appearance and aura did not find the carefully processed camouflage magic on the two of them, nor did he find any traces of magic on their bodies.

So the team moved on, slowly walking towards the other end of the street.

"Miss Vilin, it seems that your worries should be correct."

Xiuge said to the silent female mage: "If I'm not mistaken, the mage who just walked at the forefront should be the legendary 'sword-wielding hermit', since even these people have already appeared in Seren City, then the attitude of the legal committee should be very clear." ”

Wei Lin nodded slightly.

Sword-wielding hermits, also known as sword-wielders, are the most special type of people among the executors of the Judicial Council.

If the deep-sea mages in the Magic Council are compared to the brains of the Magic City of Merlin Lehe, then the river valley and lake-level mages are equivalent to its limbs, and these strange-looking silent people who hold magic books and carry long swords are a sharp blade that is absolutely loyal to the Magic Council and is always ready to expel and clean up all "sickness".

These special spellcasters, who use a lot of potions and reagents, combined with a variety of harsh magical rituals, are like puppets with no personal emotions, and the greatest purpose of their existence in the world is to deal with all the tricky targets of the Dharma.

Sword-wielding hermits are flexible in their fighting methods, using a variety of magic to win against swordsmen, knights, and battlefield veterans who are skilled in combat, and against spellcasters, they can gain the upper hand with their magic-resistant constitution and precious silver weapons of smothering magic.

Even the lake and valley-level mages, who were the backbone of the Dharma, would not be able to survive their pursuit.

"As long as the sword-wielder remains loyal, there will never be a traitor under Merlin."

Xiuge softly read this point-to-point assessment of the sword-wielding hermits in his heart.

He's a little numb now.

The appearance of a sword-wielding hermit in the completely closed city of Salem is equivalent to telling everyone the current attitude and position of the Law Council, in the city of Salem, in this series of matters related to the armistice celebration, another giant beast that controls the entire magical resources of Van En has been on the side of the kingdom of Teresa.

Thinking of this, the article that Xiuge had read in the newspaper appeared in front of his eyes.

"Could this be the case?"

He felt a chill in his hands and feet, because the historical knowledge and common sense accumulated in the other world told him that when the productive forces of society began to change, many relationships in the world would also change, and this basic logic would not change depending on whether or not he had supernatural powers such as magic.

"The presence of the sword-wielding hermit means that my current situation is more dangerous, but it also reveals part of the truth. Armistice Celebration ...... Looks like something terrible is going to happen that day. ”

Xiuge pondered as he hurried, and thinking of this, he turned his head and asked, "Miss Weilin, there is one thing I want to confirm with you. ”

"Say."

"When we first met, you mentioned that the reason you came to look for me in Salem was because you received an order?"

Wei Lin nodded slightly: "Yes, is there any problem?" ”

"That's an order from the Law Commission's branch in the Kingdom of Water, right?"

Hearing Shug's question, Wei Lin's footsteps paused slightly, and then she raised her head, her face became much more normal after the magic disguise, but her eyes were still bright.

"You're right, the order to transport the 'adult changelings' to Salem came from the branch of the Wattel Kingdom, and at the same time, there was a letter from the Ernst family......"

Wei Lin's spirits lifted a little, and she whispered, "Nine days ago, I received that order nine days ago, and the transmission of the order did not go through the internal communication magic ritual of the Law Committee, but through the letter owl that had been eliminated by the Law Committee. ”

"Judging by the speed of the letter owl...... From Bolden, the capital of the king of Waterl, to my hands, then the order will be issued at least three days further. ”

Shuge silently pondered in his heart following the words that Wei Lin said, and then he said, "Therefore, the order issued by the Law Council Branch of the Wattel Kingdom was preempted in front of Merlin Le and the Hederan Kingdom, and was delivered to you in the right place, Miss Wei Lin...... They knew exactly where you were at that time, that you weren't far from the city of Selen, and that you were going to take on those two seemingly simple tasks in the way of your relationship with the Ernst family. ”

The fog that had been hanging over the event became thinner.

"In the original history of Vann, it is clear that Schug Ernst also survived the catastrophe of the city of Salem, but I don't know anything about the process...... Judging from the current situation, my cheap family or the offside dad or something probably needs something from me as an illegitimate child, otherwise there would be no need to find a lake-level mage to save my life. ”

"It's interesting now, I thought that the shapeshifters sent to the city were part of the plan of the kingdom of Deran, but now it seems that they are fundamentally different things...... This would explain the need for the changelings to be removed from the Legislative Committee's premises at night, as their existence was not known to the Commission's higher-ups in the first place. ”

Thinking of this, Xiuge couldn't help but turn his head to look to the northwest, which was the direction of the Lowe Plateau.

In the past, as an ordinary office worker, he worked hard for his life in a stable environment every day, and never thought that he would one day be swept into the grand wave of an era.

It's just that Xiuge is standing in front of this wave now, but he doesn't feel any excitement and excitement at all, if he can, he really wants to find a low-key place to shrink up, and wait until everything settles down before probing.

As Hug seriously pondered the course of events, Viline was equally silent, the clever young magical advisor was already aware of her current situation, and she knew that she was probably already under the influence of the letter and the mission, and she was already marked as a traitor by Merlinle, and this also meant that the Legislature branch in the highlands centered on the Kingdom of Vortre on the Lowe Plateau and their cities was also included in the list of betrayers.

Either you will become a more miserable fugitive than the wild mage, or you will run wild on this road to the end, find a way to complete the mission, and completely throw yourself into the arms of the highland countries.

"I don't seem to have a choice."

This thought came to the minds of both of them at the same time.

……

The council's headquarters was located near the clock tower in the center of the city of Seren, and in order to reach it safely, the two had to use disguise magic to perform several different disguises, and when Schugg arrived at the familiar street where Schubert's beer hall was located, he couldn't help but stop.

Probably because of the decrease in customers, the beer hall was ready to close early.

He saw the figure of a girl appear at the door of the beer hall, her eyes were so red that her body trembled uncontrollably with the violent mood swings, and by the light of the street, she turned her head to look in the direction of the old Ernst mansion, but the slight smoke floating in the air made her mood collapse again.

In this way, the girl, who had been going to come out and put away the wooden sign, sat down on the stairs at the entrance of the tavern, and looked blankly at the street around her and at the scattered pedestrians, and then she could no longer contain her emotions, and began to cry.

Old Schubert's panicked figure appeared at the door of the tavern, perhaps thinking that his niece had been treated badly, the old fellow came out with a stick from nowhere, and found that there was no one beside Sally, but sat alone on the steps and wept, the always miserly tavern keeper put down the stick in his hand, he also turned his head to look at the smoke in the distance, and then sighed and sat down beside Sally, and reached out and patted her on the back a few times.

Schugg's gaze caught the attention of old Schubert, and he turned his head to see a strange young man and woman standing across the street looking at the tavern, so he stroked his thinning hair, and then smiled apologetically at Schugg.

Instinctively, he nodded to old Schubert, but then he reacted that the other party did not recognize him at all, so he could only forcibly look away, move his somewhat heavy legs, and walk towards the destination ahead in the night.

"Your friend, right?"

"Hmm...... She probably thought I was dead. ”

Amid Sally's undisguised sobbing, Hug quickened his pace, for he did not dare to linger here, lest he might not resist going over and reminding the poor girl, so that she would know that she had not been burned in Ernst's old mansion.

But this kind of thing is destined to be impossible to do.

The Tracers in Salem may soon find a sense of their relationship with Sally, and while Hug believes that Putlin, who is part of the Tricolor Brotherhood, will find a way to take care of this mutual friend, he may cause them more trouble if he shows up.

Under such emotions, even the breeze blowing at night is extremely oppressive.

Wei Lin raised her hand, she felt the moisture in the wind, so she opened her mouth to break the silence between the two: "It's going to rain, we have to hurry...... Mr. Shug, how is your mana restored? ”

When Xiuge heard this, he immediately adjusted his mood and state, and then quickly checked his spiritual world.

After a small half a day's rest, his originally seriously consumed magic power has been restored to a certain extent, the dark green magic crystal embedded in the center of the disc is constantly spreading its own magic light, and the running rat that was paralyzed in the groove before seems to have regained its spirit, its body is no longer visible scars, and it is leaning on the edge of the groove and lazily playing with its tail.

"Almost, as long as it doesn't happen during the day, it won't be a problem."

Verin nodded, and then she reached into her pocket, took out a pre-prepared page engraved with a magical pattern, and placed it in Shug's hand.

"Take it and don't throw it away anyway."

Wei Lin said solemnly: "There is a huge ritual field set up around the Dharma's residence, although it is not lethal, it is able to 'capture' all the casters who set foot in this area, and once it is discovered that there are wild mages who have not registered with the Dharma...... You know. ”
