Humans are really a very strange being.

A single heavy rain, and the fierce sunlight that came out of it, washed away the tension that had been left in the city of Salem the day before, and with the disappearance of the heavily armed Legislator Enforcers in the streets, people began their lives again.

Compared to the taciturn spellcasters of the Dharma, who carried spell books and were accompanied by many armed soldiers, the police officers with familiar faces and simple magic pendulums in their hands were not so terrifying.

What happened yesterday and early in the morning was nothing more than a new conversation for the vast majority of residents.

In the eyes of the people, the old Ernst mansion can only be regarded as a topic of conversation and conversation, whether it is intact or burned to ashes by the fire, it has always been a symbol of ominous and calamity, and the strange magic case that happened near the Dharma's residence this morning has become the most popular horror story in people's mouths.

Similar discussions, Xiuge and Verin have listened all the way.

The two had heard more than four versions of the death of the sword-wielding hermit of the Dharma.

People always have an extraordinary instinct and talent for adding fuel to stories, and the people who spread the stories themselves do not have a good opinion of the Legislative Committee, so these versions of the stories are becoming more and more outrageous and exaggerated.

And when Hug began to hear about the warped version of the sword-wielding hermit's quirks due to his overly repressed daily routine, and who had to hug many swamp witches every day to fall asleep, he could no longer remain calm.

As for Wei Lin, her expression went through a process from calm to distorted, and then from distorted to numb.

"Their mouths are more terrible than sorcery."

Based on what she had seen and heard along the way, the female mage made a summary that was very unfounded, but also impossible to refute.

Hug chose to remain silent.

Because he had also heard many strange rumors about the old Ernst mansion and his "death".

But this didn't matter to Xiuge anymore, as a person who had relied on making up stories to support his life for a long time, he was ready to become a story and pastime in the mouths of others.

Along the way, he was seriously thinking about what he had heard and seen in his dreams.

Theseus's words in the "Dream Sanctuary" may sound confusing, but when carefully analyzed, many subtle and important messages can be revealed.

After this series of events, Xiuge can no longer completely compare the world he lives in with the "Van Grace" written by himself, and the two are highly similar in framework, but there are essential differences in the content filled in them.

When everything moves from paper to reality, there will inevitably be deviations, a truth that Xiuge had known before, but he never imagined that the deviation would be so exaggerated.

Through Virin's discussion of sorcery and magic, and through everything that appears in the "Dream Sanctuary", Xiuge is already certain that the ancient world of Van En once had some lost beliefs and civilizations, but at some stage, everything in the past was completely wiped out and buried, and only some ancient magic was finally passed down with magic, and perhaps as Theseus said, the gods who once had the absolute upper hand in this world were eventually replaced by the many gods that people believe in today.

"Judging by the list of names that Theseus possesses, he is also one of the 'lost gods,' or something closely related to them...... And the so-called dream shelter is most likely the traces of the power left by the ancient gods. ”

Shuge turned his attention to the metal disc in his spiritual world, because he had absorbed enough magical power, and now his entire spiritual world was filled with a thick magical mist, and under its nourishment, everything seemed to be in order, the black tentacles were constantly stretching their bodies at the moment, and the Running Rats were lazily napping......

Now, however, what made Xiuge especially concerned was the dark green magic crystal.

To this day, he still has no way of knowing the true name of the crystallization he had exchanged for the women's ornaments of the Waters Kingdom, and he was embedded in the center of the metal disc, and continued to influence everything around him.

For some reason, in this dark green crystal, Shuge faintly perceived a property that was extremely similar to that of Theseus.

"The only thing that's certain is that that fellow, despite his extremely bad and irregular behavior, doesn't seem to want me to die in the city of Salem just like that......"

Xiuge squinted and peeked at the female mage beside him, he was not sure whether Verin Ernst would be able to carry out the "mission" she accepted to the end in today's high-pressure environment, and the cooperative relationship between himself and her was not completely equal.

If this delicate state really breaks down completely at some point, then the impact on oneself is destined to be devastating.

"Man is a sword, but I can't make fish."

Xiuge silently made a conclusion in his heart.

At this time, the moving magic van had also slowly stopped, so Xiug and Wei Lin walked out of the car with the other passengers.

It was already the westernmost part of the city, the busiest commercial area in the city, and the number of shops and vendors was far greater than that of any other street in the city, and it attracted more customers, and it was also chosen by many caravans and caravans as their temporary camp.

Under the influence of many factors, "Lowe Square", located in the western part of the city of Seren, has become an important place that no one can avoid.

However, this has also become one of the main sources of conflict between the Waters and the Delands in the city of Seren.

The inhabitants of the western city were already predominantly Wattles, and with the long-standing commercial partnership between the Highlands and the Great-Eared Goblins, the Waters soon gained absolute commercial superiority in the city of Salem, although compared to the buildings of the Drasians, the buildings of Waters were solemn and cold, but under this layer of camouflage, they revealed a coveted wealth and prosperity.

And with the recent changes in the situation, some scenes that have never appeared before have also come to the fore in Rowe Square.

In the dense crowd of onlookers, the sound of passionate speeches was constantly coming out, and the surrounding onlookers were discussing, but there was no way to suppress the high-pitched voice.

"The city of Salem is definitely not a whole! Here, although we have a so-called independent government, all its actions, its decrees, and even its positions are never independent and impartial! ”

"Salem City, terrible! We all know that Salem was born out of the truce between Waters and Teresa, because of the agreement and peace between the two, but now the foundation stone that underpins it all is gone, inhabitants! Whether you are of Vortl or Derene, whether you belong to the human race or not, you should seriously consider where this city is now. ”

Even if he didn't see the speaker's appearance, just hearing these words, Xiuge couldn't help but frown.

He hated such inflammatory words, especially at this delicate moment, when such public statements could lead to a series of troubles, and what made him even more disturbing was that the guards in charge of maintaining the security of the square were actually standing not far away, but they seemed to have no intention of stopping what was happening at the moment, and were even talking and laughing with a few young people.

Hugh noticed that although the youths did not wear hoods, they all wore a uniform armband made of three daggers crossed on their arms, which was the emblem of the Tricolor Brotherhood.

It seems that the organization, which once consisted mainly of stalkers and thieves, has now begun to recruit a wide range of ordinary young people in the city.

"I know, I know you're all preparing for the annual armistice celebrations, but do you really know what's going on outside of Seren?"

The speaker paused, as if he had made a move, and then continued, "Come on, Putrin...... It's up to you to tell you what's going on around Salem City at this time! ”

Shuge was stunned for a moment, he stopped his progress, then looked around, and climbed up a huge wooden box stacked beside him, and stood on it like any other idler watching the excitement and looked in the direction of the speech.

He saw his friend.

Yes, Putlin...... This simple, sincere and enthusiastic young man of Seren was standing on the makeshift "podium" at the moment, perhaps for today's speech, he deliberately changed into clean and straight clothes, his beard and hair were also arranged, and his face was a little red from excitement at the moment, and his hands were even a little trembling.

In the midst of Xiuge's complicated gaze, his friend received a common magic megaphone from a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, and then Putlin's familiar voice spread through Rowe Square.

"Everyone, everyone! I...... I've got a new piece of news, news that the independent government of Salem will never let you know! ”

Putrin was nervous at first, but after he said a few words, he quickly found the feeling of speaking, so he shouted into the magic megaphone, "In the past two days, the armies of the highlands have reached the craggy hills only two days away from the city of Seren!" ”

As these words were spoken, the crowd that was originally just talking about it exploded in an instant, for these people who have long been accustomed to the peaceful atmosphere, the army has long been an unfamiliar concept, but no matter who they are, they can feel the danger and bloody atmosphere of this word.

"Yes, you heard it right, Waterl, Hain, Saint-Steele on the Lowe Plateau...... And many more of the kingdom armies attached to them have now been gathered, and when the prince of the Wattel Kingdom has attended the armistice celebrations, he will go straight to the rocky hills to preside over their so-called 'grand military maneuvers'! ”

The trust and affection for his friend that remained in this body made Xiuge involuntarily pinch the wooden box beside him at this moment, and he could hear that there was no hypocrisy in Putrin's words, and he was more angry than anyone else at this moment.

"This is a provocation! This is a betrayal of the armistice that was signed together, and this is a contempt for the lives of the city of Salem and all the people in it! ”

Hug couldn't listen anymore, and although Putrin was still babbling about the news that came out of nowhere, Hugg's head couldn't hold anything more, and he jumped off the wooden box and stood back beside Verin.

The female mage's voice rang in her ears: "Mr. Xiuge, it looks like this friend of yours has made his choice......"

"Not really."

Shug recalled what he had said when he spoke to Putrin before, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Putlin's real thoughts are more intense than he appears, maybe I should have persuaded him to leave the Tricolor Brotherhood, but...... How is this possible? ”

At this time, the speech in the Lowe Square has also reached a climax.

The middle-aged scholar took the magic megaphone from Putrin's hand again, and his provocative voice echoed over Rovi Square again: "The Kingdom of Wattle and their followers are preparing to bring the city of Salem to its knees with their army, they are deliberately provoking disputes during the armistice celebrations, they disregard the sincerity of the Kingdom of Deland and the survival of the city of Salem, they should get out!" ”

"Get out of !!"

Perhaps there were really persuaded people, or perhaps the Tricolor Brotherhood had planted some cooperators in the crowd beforehand, and soon the shouts of pandering to the speeches filled the square, almost tearing down the spires of the Waterl-style houses.

Several dissenting members of the Seren Mutual Aid Group emerged from the crowd, terrified of what was going on around them, but the reason in their bodies kept them crying out their thoughts.

Thus, a fierce conflict immediately broke out.

Quarrels, shovings, and then punches and kicks, and Shug saw his friend rush to the front excitedly, and after years of experience in fighting at the bottom of society, he was knocked to the ground in two strokes, and it was at this moment that the square guards who had been staying by the side to "watch the show" finally came in, and they dispersed the onlookers with slow movements, and then tied up the unscathed members of the Brotherhood and the bruised residents.

Amid the shouts and applause of the onlookers, Putrin and his companions were led to the end of the street.
