Everything that Xiuge wanted to know before finally seemed to become clear.

The fact that war was about to break out could no longer be changed, and the two hundred armistice celebrations that had been carried out in the city of Seren might finally come to an end.

However, the emergence of the Black Sun Association has added a new treacherous color to it.

"If it were pure war, it would be impossible to completely and quickly wipe out a city...... I don't remember that Vann had already researched the magic of the Great Ivan. ”

Shuge pushed the papers and notes aside, his feet shaking with some anxiety as he pondered what might happen next.

Viline came to Shug's side, and she had also read some of the documents, which made her solemn and silent.

On many issues related to the Law Council and magic, Wei Lin had always believed that she should be in the driver's seat, due to her past experience and accumulated experience, but now, she was at a loss when faced with an area that she knew nothing about.

The brain, which is capable of calculating complex magic formulas and reciting a large number of magic runes, is overloaded at this moment.

Shug didn't stop Verin from going through the goblin Marcel's notes, in the current situation, he felt that he had to have a strong and informed collaborator, and if necessary, he should even find a way to upgrade the other party to become his comrade, otherwise it would be impossible to avoid the crisis in Salem City on his own!

"Black Sun Society...... Their names do exist on the Law Council's wanted list, but Merlin Lehe doesn't care about these people, and generally sees the Black Sun Society as an illegal organization of a group of wild mages, no different from other groups of wild mages. ”

"Miss Vilin, what else do you know about the prophecy of the Black Sun?"

The female mage shook her head: "It's too old for us to find its source, but some old scholars have suggested that this prophecy is related to ancient sorcery and magic, but the higher management of the Law Council has the opposite view, they think that this statement is ridiculous, and there is no need to do in-depth investigation, and even dismantled the internal research and archaeology team for these prophecies for some reason a few years ago." ”

“……”

Xiuge was speechless.

This kind of development of things is very reasonable, after all, judging from Marcel's notes, the power of the Black Sun Association has already spread to the internal part of the Legislative Committee, and he will not be too surprised if any important person really climbs to the top of the Legislative Committee.

"War will precursor the Black Sun, and the only son of the abyss will be born in the sacrificial pit......"

Hug whispered the new prophecy mentioned by the goblin Marcel, he was sure that it was not something he had written, but it was not surprising, after all, his team's folder of worldview documents would never support such a specific real world, it was already developing on its own, and the filling between each point in time was now unknown.

"I can understand the war, who is the only son of the abyss? It can't be me, right? ”

Xiuge wanted to scold someone, but he didn't know where to start.

Judging from this strange prophecy, if he is really the "only son of the abyss", then his own existence is the biggest threat to the city of Salem and its residents!

Shug stood up and walked around the room twice, and in the silence, his chaotic thoughts and irritable mood were somewhat relieved, so he turned to Wei Lin and said, "Miss Wei Lin, we must use all means to get out of the city of Selen, and continue to stay here, it will only be a dead end. ”

Now, he has completely overturned his previous idea of looking for a suitable place in the city to build a solid shelter to avoid potential threats, this idea of "penetrating" and "preventing" is now unworkable, because judging from the content of these documents, the fist that Salem City is going to suffer is too big, no matter how hard the turtle shell is, it will definitely be penetrated!

The female mage, however, shook her head gloomily.

"Impossible, Mr. Hugg...... You may not know about this ceremonial arena that is solidified in the walls of the city. ”

Vicin explained with some reluctance, "In Vanne, almost all of the magic rituals that are solidified in the city walls, squares, or fortresses and castles use a special process...... It's cumbersome to explain, but you just need to understand them as the foundations of the building. ”

"It means that it is extremely strong and effective, but also very rigid?"

"Uh-huh."

Wei Lin nodded: "Although the strength and rules of the ritual field can be modified and adjusted to a certain extent according to the use of some methods, the nature of the ritual has been determined from the moment the foundation of the building is laid. ”

At this point, she hesitated slightly, and then threw out another possibility: "But...... There are exceptions. ”

"What?"

"When I was studying, I had been to many important cities in Waterl and Teresa, and most of the magical rituals they had buried in the walls were mainly for defending the city, so these rituals would be extremely strong, and not only that, but in order to prevent the enemy from launching special sneak attacks and attacks from the ground and air in the event of war, those magic rituals would be extended a lot......"

Speaking of her area of expertise, Willin immediately jumped in, and said in a brisk voice, "I mean, these magical rituals designed for protection tend to include both the underground and the sky, which means that whether it's a boulder thrown from the air or a tunnel dug from beneath the ground, it will be completely stopped by the ritual field. ”

"And Salem City doesn't seem to be the same."

Wei Lin's gaze was a little out of focus, and she seriously recalled and pondered: "When I made my way to the city gate on the south side, I found that although the magic rituals solidified in the city walls were just as ancient, their methods of handling them did not seem to be so perfect. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it's like when a statue is finished, only to find out that you forgot to carve the eyes, so you temporarily added it, although the portrait still has eyes, but it is destined not to be so perfect."

Hearing this, Xiuge had roughly understood what Wei Lin meant, he nodded, and said: "I remember that the reconstruction of this Salem City is not so smooth now, after the completion of the armistice agreement, Wattle and Delan have been negotiating on this matter for a long time, and there have been many problems when the construction started, and the intervention of the Legal Committee is relatively late, at least the walls of Salem City are not as you said earlier, Miss Villen, the magic ritual has been buried from the very beginning. ”

"This means that there is a high probability that the limits of the ceremonial arena will be weakened in some cases, eh...... Ground floor? ”

The female mage's blank eyes finally lit up again, she clapped her hands vigorously, and then said: "If our inference is not wrong, then it is very likely that the magic ritual in Seren City will not be able to cover too deep underground, or the blockade there will be relatively weak, and even if it is forced through, it will not cause too much damage to the human body." ”

The speed of her voice became faster and faster, and the excitement in her tone could no longer be suppressed: "The person who tampered with the ritual of the blockade of the city of Seren should be completed by the Dharma, the caster of the royal family of Teresa...... I know the method of modification of the Law Committee, the biggest problem now is what modifications have been made by the casters of the Deran royal family, as long as these are clarified, and given me another one or two days, I am even confident that I can find a way to safely pass through the weak points of the ceremony! ”

Wei Lin spoke a little too fast that he couldn't hear several of the words, so he asked, "Huh? Modification of the royal family of Teresa? So how are you going to derive it? ”

"Magical items, preferably those related to existing rampart rituals...... As long as there are traces of the spells cast by the royal mages of the Deretic family, you may be able to find some patterns. ”

Hearing this, Xiuge immediately reacted.

Under Verin's puzzled gaze, Hug took out an iron box from the inside pocket of his trench coat, and then opened it in front of Verine, and took out the magic pass he had stolen from Editor-in-Chief Philip using the Rat Run.

Before leaving the old Ernst mansion, what Verin said about the tampering of the lockdown ritual had made Xiug lose his mind about the magic pass, and he had no idea that it would be used again.

"What is this?"

Confused, Willin took the pass, her gaze swept over the iris mark on the pass, and after a brief examination, the female mage smiled, she raised her head, and said in a rather teasing tone, "Mr. Hugg, I must revise what I have published earlier about your 'writers'......"

"What?"

"Not only are you very good at lying, but you're also pretty good at hiding."

Wei Lin narrowed her eyes, but this time, she did not exude her own unique sense of oppression, but after a simple complaint, she walked to the corridor outside, and after setting up a protective ritual to guard against and limit the phantom insects, Wei Lin returned to the room: "Although the environment here is relatively ordinary, it is more suitable for concentrating on the problem at hand than the previous residence, so let's use this place as a base to act." ”

……

Verin was indeed a scholarly mage.

She was unusually obsessed with getting to the bottom of the problem, and this pursuit of truth and enjoyment of solving puzzles surpassed that of any mage in Shog Ernst's memory, and even the lecturers at Waterl's School of Magic and Wizardry could not compare to her.

Although it is a bit intimidating in the current environment to enter this state of academic research without saying a word, perhaps this is why she was able to officially pass the law committee rating at such a young age?

The shapeshifters in House 37 are still slowly doing their "digestion" work.

I don't know if these changelings have become deeply aware of the danger of these two humans, or because of the great intimidation caused by Shug's collection of the remains of the changelings, these magical creatures who have just gained their wisdom and escaped from pure instinct are now full of fear of the room occupied by Shug and the two.

Shuge even tentatively came to the hall alone, and his appearance frightened the old Sergei, who had regrown his arms, and almost hid in the cupboard, the kind of posture that was even more cringe and timid than the big-eared goblin made people very helpless.

Vilene's protective ritual enveloped several rooms, and Shog entered with several jars of slime from the changeling worms, and while at this stage, Shog felt the need to establish a further relationship of trust with Verin, but the Dream Shelter and the help it provided to him were best kept in secret forever.

While Viline was studying the magic pass in the secret room, Xiuge quickly fell into a state of "sleep".

He was ready to encounter Theseus again in the dream shelter, and he had too many questions about this strange and unaware "god", according to his idea, no matter what god he was, he should at least maintain a "high" posture, or show a completely different side from humans.

But Theseus's traits are too unusual.

Xiuge even felt that he was not so much a god as a human with some god nature, and extremely strange personalities and habits.

At least Xiuge couldn't imagine that a so-called god would pull himself to play fighting games, and from time to time he would say some pompous witticisms for unknown reasons.

But considering that the image of the dream shelter itself is based on his past company, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Theseus, even if he behaves a little outrageously......

"As long as this guy doesn't wear a work card and dresses up as a producer or a master planner or something, just talk to me."

Shug couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the silence and darkness around him, he could now imagine that outrageous picture after his previous experience, and he always felt that with the strange nature of Theseus, it was really possible to do such a thing.

After confirming that everything around him was normal, Xiuge gathered his thoughts.

As he had done the previous times, the bottles of changeling slime he had collected were placed on the desk next to him, and Xiug immediately took action.

Just like in the past when he changed workstations, he put the bottles on the office chair, and then pushed them to the figure cabinet that had previously devoured a bottle of phantom body fluid essence, different from the last time B, perhaps because he had "opened meat" before, this time, the amorphous fog blocked in the cabinet seemed to sense something, and it hit the side wall of the cabinet abnormally actively, as if it was emitting a silent thirst.

"Come on, come on...... This time it's enough! ”

With his past experience, Shuge put aside all his previous caution and temptation, and he picked up the glass bottles of various sizes one by one, and then stacked them directly in front of the cabinet.

The change had begun in an instant, and the black words that had sealed the cabinet had once again turned into slender arms, and they reached forward with great force, greedily collecting all the shape-changing slime that Xiuge had collected into their arms.

The glass vial of slime shattered and vanished again, and the two arms turned into sharp mouthparts, and they couldn't wait to stab into the mass of slime suspended in mid-air, sucking frantically.
