Xiuge's memory of the outside world is stuck in the moment when his body was "taken over".

Then he fell into a state somewhere between coma and sobriety.

He could vaguely pick up the sounds around him, and he could vaguely feel the vibrations and collisions, but all of them seemed extremely unreal, as if they were from another parallel world, another vague dream.

And his current body is like a passerby, he has no way to truly integrate into it, and he has no way to make specific control over his limbs and senses.

However, his spiritual world is extremely active and clear at the moment.

A lot of information was precipitating in his mind.

The messy memories that were forced to accept because they touched the black sticky monster are constantly colliding and splicing...... At this moment, Xiuge even felt that he had become a freak who could grow by devouring other people's bodies and absorbing other people's memories, and he was able to absorb a lot of knowledge from those fragmentary images that he had never been exposed to at all, calling out many names he had never heard before, and recognizing countless unfamiliar faces.

He knew that when he was exhausted, the Theseus who had been crouching in his consciousness had indeed solved his biggest problem at the moment, but at the same time, he had also left some new problems and hidden dangers for himself.

This guy's thoughts and intentions are really unclear to Xiuge.

After all, among the titles that Theseus had, there were both serious titles like "God of Fate" and strange titles like "Burlesque Weavers...... The starting point, method and law of his work are completely impossible for ordinary people to guess.

After leaving the power of Theseus, the Mirror Messenger also reverted to its original form, honestly staying in the groove of magic, "staring at Theseus" with its eyes, as if waiting for his lecture.

There is not much to say about this guy.

He now had serious doubts about the connection between the messenger in the mirror and Theseus, after all, its form and manifestation had many connections with Theseus, and it had indeed become the power carrier of the "Lord of All Faces" not long ago.

"Tell me honestly, what do you have to do with him?"

Xiuge viciously asked the messenger in the mirror a question, but the other party shook his head at a very high frequency, as if he didn't want to answer Xiuge's question at all.

After experimenting with different methods, Shug gave up on the idea of continuing to question the messenger in the mirror, knowing that he now had to prioritize the mess of forces and information that had been stuffed into his head and body, and their presence had seriously affected the connection between Shug and his body.

The process is not too complicated, just like sorting through the documents that are randomly piled up on the computer desktop at work, and Xiuge tries to categorize these messages from different living beings.

Once this kind of work begins, it never ends.

In his current state, Xiuge had no idea of the passage of time, and he could only keep speeding up his movements in order to end this groggy state as soon as possible. ….

The memories of farmers, workers, and merchants were quickly "piled up" together.

Soldiers, police officers and guards are grouped together.

The most important ones are the scholars and mages - the memories of such victims are easily recognizable, as their memories must be filled with books, words, and magical formulas.

As for those memories that belonged to snakes, insects, rats and ants, scattered and indistinguishable, they were directly "swept" into the corner by Xiuge, and he was not in the mood to understand how these lives survived every day for the time being.

As the mess of information continued to be gathered, Hug felt that his connection to his body had begun to become stronger, and he could now clearly feel the changes in his surroundings.

He was sure that he had left the sewers by now, because there was a faint smell of incense in the air, and he was lying flat at this time, as if following the progress of the vehicle

And upside down.

He didn't hear anyone's voice, it seemed that Viline, Sally, and the others weren't around, or maybe they weren't talking or talking at the moment.

In desperation, Xiuge could only continue his unfinished work.

Now he has neither a sense of exhaustion nor a sense of the passage of time, and the only thing that can accompany him is those chaotic and fragmentary memories.

The memories belonging to scholars and mages were taken as the focus of his research, and as he continued to rummage and organize these complex memories and knowledge, he finally made a special discovery in them.

In one memory, he saw a "familiar face".

Hugg remembers that the face appeared on the podium on the day Putlin spoke at Lowe Square, and that he was presiding over the event.

However, this middle-aged man is also a mage, his attainments in the field of magic are extremely amazing, and it is very likely that he already has the level above the lake level, but such a spellcaster with immeasurable prospects resolutely entered Mansion 37 and made himself the most crucial ritual key in that strange sacrifice ceremony.

The black sun pattern on the middle-aged mage's clothes has revealed his origins.

"Black Sun Society...... It seems that everything that happened in Salem City was indeed in their plan, and it is very likely that the Black Sun Society had made a lot of plans in advance, so even if the goblin mage Marcel, who had actually betrayed the association, made such a move, the Black Sun Society would still be able to achieve its goals through another set of plans."

Shuge recalls the strange sacrifices he has received, and after combining them with the prophecies of the Black Sun Society, Shuge finally gets a glimpse of part of the truth of the Society's plan.

"Judging from the final result, the greatest goal of the Black Sun Society's trip is to carry out this sacrifice and successfully summon that strange black monster...... The city of Salem was designated as a place of sacrifice as the place of sacrifice at the outbreak and end of the war, and the changelings were regarded as "mutilated children" because of their nature, and the blood of their incompetent descendants was most likely the blood of the princes and nobles who participated in the ceremony." ….

"As for the celebration of the ignorant, it must be directed to the commoners who participate in the celebration."

"And in the end, the empty shell of nothingness......

Xiuge's thinking suddenly stalled at this moment.

Judging by the black viscous monster's desire to touch itself no matter what, it did its best to erode its own body and spirit, and the ritual that was repeated in the process of erosion......

"Damn, so the shell mentioned at the end of that passage is me?"

Just as Xiuge was seriously questioning himself, a strange sound came from the side, so Xiuge's attention was immediately withdrawn from the spiritual world, and in the darkness with a slight light, he felt as if someone had opened the window next to him, so the cold wind blew in, and a trace of coldness slowly drifted down and fell on Xiuge's eyelids.

Perhaps it was because the obstacles that prevented him from waking up had been largely removed, or perhaps it was the coldness that brought enough stimulation that Xiuge finally opened his eyes slowly.

Then he saw the bright skylight, the swaying carriages and windows, and the slowly falling snowflakes.

Of course, he also saw the familiar face bent over the window, staring at him.

"I...... How long have you been lying down?"

Shuge tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse and almost unhuman.

"It's been seven days, Mr. Shugg. Gin Moon is over, and it's Snow Moon."

Verine Ernst's voice was as cold as the wind outside the window, but it was as shivering as the snowflakes that were falling slowly.

She hurriedly raised her hand and closed the window into a slit.

……

In the year 2699 of the Kathel calendar, on the last day of the month of Gin, news of the death of Prince and Princess Havid spread throughout the Lowe Plateau.

At the same time, a series of anomalous magical events that occurred in the "City of Peace" Salem have also been resolved

The headquarters of the Legislative Commission, Merlin Le and known.

"Hordes of Assassins launched a horrific assault on the Prince's convoy, and in the end, the Prince and the Princess were killed when several determined 'Deresa, followers, paralyzed the protective rites on the Prince's car with a special new firearm!"

"Some terrifying magical creature like black silt is operating in the city of Seren, it travels through all crevices and pipes, and hunts and kills people as food, according to the requirements of the Judicial Committee, the city will continue to maintain a state of lockdown, and the members of the Judicial Council in the city will pursue and hunt the target!"

"Merinle and the Mage's representative have been blocked from visiting the Kingdom of Waterl, and the new Foreign Secretary of Voice has questioned the Law Council, believing that the Law Council's move to maintain the blockade of the city of Seren is an obstacle to the need of the Kingdom of Waterl to collect the remains of Prince Havid and track down the murderer!"

In the days following the "armistice celebration" that had become a joke and a disaster, all sorts of news and news spread among the Van Grace, and unlike the previous news, this time all the people smelled the imminent danger from the news, so that they spread even more alarmingly, and even the distant eastern world received the relevant messages.

The reconnaissance information provided by the Kingdom of Deland and its affiliated kingdoms shows that within three days, a number of teams of unknown composition have blatantly crossed the border line, and carried out extremely bad attacks on some of the military camps, outposts and even logistics warehouses set up in the front line of Deland, which led to the destruction of many outposts and warehouses, and nearly 100 people were killed in the attack, including two officers who were even missing! ….

According to eyewitnesses and survivors, these attackers are extremely combative, often striking from unexpected directions, and then quickly leaving under the cover of magic.

And this is not the end, people soon found out that many of the collection and training camps belonging to the Kingdom of Deland, including Lone Wolf Ridge and Gray Pine Forest, have suffered devastating blows, among which the Lone Wolf Ridge camp has been completely destroyed, and none of the garrisons have survived......

The Kingdom of Deland immediately launched a serious recourse, but as the biggest suspect, King Wattle refused to take responsibility for this series of incidents.

Thus, on the fourth day after the arrival of the snowy moon, the political coalition of the highland countries directly rejected the proposal for equal dialogue initiated by the Law Committee, after which a joint condemnation statement issued by the three kingdoms of Walter, Hain and Saint-Steele was slapped directly in front of everyone.

At the same time, all the Legislative Affairs Commission branches on the Lowe Plateau announced that they would work closely with the Plateau Alliance.

So this time, even Merlin Lehe remained silent.

Although the Legislature did not want to show weakness in the face of the Alliance, the divisions within Merlinle and the others were already extremely obvious, and the departure of a large number of elite members had caused extremely serious damage to this ancient and powerful group of mages.

For the first time, the haughty casters realized that their influence over the world had been severely weakened.

However, everyone underestimated the fierce attitude of the Wattel Kingdom towards the "Salem City Incident".

Snow on the 5th of the month.

Immediately after the issuance of the stern statement to the Kingdom of Deresa, the Law Council, and the independent government of the city of Seren, the Kingdom of Wattle immediately issued a new request, and a large number of articles, reports, and interviews led by dignitaries of the Kingdom of Waters were immediately issued while all the newspapers and magazines were still hotly discussing the death of Prince Havid.

Under the offensive of these news, even the people of the plains of the goddess lamented the incident, the young men lamented the noble act of Prince Havid to insist on the evacuation of the people in the first place, even in the face of the threat of assassination, and the girls burst into tears after hearing the love story between the prince and the commoner's wife.

In such a situation, even the staunchest supporters of Deland had a trace of doubt and vacillation.

Under this wave of public opinion, the Kingdom of Waters took advantage of the situation to go one step further.

They strongly demanded that the Law Commission immediately allow the troops of the Waters Kingdom to enter the area around the city of Salem and participate directly in the investigation and trial of the masterminds behind the assassination of Salem, and that the Waters believe that any public official who attacks Prince Havid and the Kingdom of Battler in the present circumstances, regardless of whether they belong to the independent government of Salem or the Law Commission, should be immediately removed from office and expelled.

Not only that, Walter's ministers also proposed that the Deland Kingdom should strictly supervise and control those associations and organizations that are not conducive to the relationship between the two countries, among which the Tricolor Brotherhood, which is most closely related to the assassination case, should first be dissolved, and its members should be held accountable and severely punished, and the concept of "Teresa supremacy", which is regarded as the core concept of the Tricolor Brotherhood, should be completely eradicated from all fields!

In the coming cold winter, there was a close discussion about the strange little city that stood at the junction of the plateau and the plain.

The successive political confrontations completely occupied people's vision, and except for the grassroots law committee executives, almost no one remembered that the city of Seren, which was closely associated with peace and stability in the past, was still under a tight lockdown, and the "terrifying magical creatures" mentioned by the law committee were still roaming freely in the city.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, the city of Salem is far, far away from them.

Therefore, they naturally feel that the war is also far away from them.......
