The war has begun.

Whatever the name, things accelerated further when the crystalline shells that were powerful enough to produce a violent explosion smashed into the city of Seren.

The bombardment of the city of Salem was a statement, and although officially, it was in fact a "cautionary" shelling, judging from the magical photos in the newspapers, the power of these few crystalline shells was probably far beyond imagination.

"Muki 3 Steam Crystallization Cannon......

Considering the strange name, he knew that this was probably a new type of ordnance developed by the workshop of Alfred's Muki family, and combined with the reports he had seen in the newspapers about the Waters Kingdom tilting its funds to a certain area on a large scale, Hug had enough reason to think that the shelling launched this morning might also be a demonstration and a demonstration of results.

However, now, the city of Selen, which is the target of shelling, is gradually fading out of people's sight.

Because no one knows what's going on in the city of Salem anymore.

Even in this state of extreme tension, the Law Committee is still unwilling to agree to relax the blockade of the city of Selen, they refuse to lift the blockade ceremony imposed on the city, and even sparing no effort to reinforce the original blockade ceremony.

However, this blockade ritual was not in the slightest resistance to outside fire, and its only function was to prevent all living creatures in the city from leaving the confines of the city, and in the first few days of the Commission's move, a large number of people in various countries expressed opposition, but as the atmosphere of war intensified, people's attention began to quickly distract and shift.

Now, only a small number of people continue to be in the city of Salem.

For most people, the city of Salem is an "unimportant" city, they don't know the people in it, and they don't know what is happening there.

At a time when the flames of war could burn your family and your family at any time, it was a very, very ordinary decision to forget about such an existence.

Shug looked at the words that had been compressed into the corners by the large world situation and military news, and asked, "Miss Viline, under what circumstances would the Legislative Council take such measures against a city?"

"I don't know."

Wei Lin shook her head, "However, I read some books about healing when I was studying healing magic, and according to these books, the Law Council has only performed three lockdown rituals against specific towns in the past three hundred years, but this is usually done in response to large-scale magical plagues...... The most typical is the wolf plague."

Xiuge nodded.

In his mind, there is another answer.

The existence of the Descendants of the Abyss is obviously not a secret to the Law Council, and the blockade imposed on the city of Seren is most likely to deal with this extremely dangerous and unpredictable magical creature, but what other plans the Law Council has besides the blockade is not something that Xiuge can know now.

Although Schug had always thought that he had no special feelings for the city of Salem and its inhabitants, he still let out two helpless sighs when he made those pessimistic predictions. ….

For the city of Seren, for the inhabitants of the plateaus and plains who were involved in the war, and for the whole of Vann, this round of shelling was only the beginning of disaster and turmoil.

……

Once again, the Adlon Hotel is the center of attention in Bolden.

With the shelling of the early morning of the 10th of the snow, more and more people are converging here.

In fact, this is not the first time that the Adlon Hotel has been chosen as the venue for an important meeting, and this time, the number of meetings being held here is far greater than ever.

Many reporters had been waiting in and out of the Adlon Hotel for a whole day, and they were now eager to know what new decisions had been made by the Lordel Kingdom and their alliance partners after a long day of meetings.

What is even more anxious are the mage representatives sent by the Legal Committee and the Kingdom of Deland

The emissaries and diplomats.

They had been hanging here for several days, and the mages of Merlin and the monks were fine, at least the corresponding spellcaster officials were in charge of receiving them, but the emissaries of the Deran Kingdom were a little miserable, and although they were able to receive very intimate hospitality in the hotel, it was all about it.

As officials, if they can only eat and drink in the countries they visit, then the very existence of them is already worth questioning.

In particular, the other side is preparing to go to war with its own country.

In between the two rounds of meetings, the official response from the two guests in room 1049 was successfully passed on to Princess Sophia, and after Princess Sophia's response, the surveillance of the two was lifted, so the two quickly left the Adlon Hotel and walked out against the reporters who were constantly trying to enter the hotel.

After rejecting several inexplicable attempts to interview reporters, Shug and Willin finally managed to leave the Waibin Avenue.

And here, both of them feel the sense of freedom that they have been away for a long, long time.

However, the golden talon insignia that the two of them now carry with them reminds them that they still have extremely important things to accomplish in the future.

The street lights on both sides of the road were already on, and Shuge and Wei Lin stood together in the dim light of the intersection of Waibin Avenue.

Looking at the pedestrians who kept walking by, and then at the steam cars parked on the side of the road one after another, Xiuge suddenly felt as if he had come to the dream he had had the night before, and as if he had returned to the past, and changed back to the ordinary office worker who hurried out early and returned late every day.

It's just that in the past, Xiuge never thought that when he stood under the street lamp in a daze, he could be accompanied by a person of the opposite sex of the same age.

And also a mage.

Shugg dragged his thoughts back to reality, and he asked, "Miss Vilin, what are your plans next?"

"I need to go back to my previous branch of the Dharma, there are still a lot of things to deal with, and I'm afraid I'll have to reapply for my mage credentials...... I'm afraid the one that Merlin Le and issued in the past is no longer useful."

Looking at the lively streets, Wei Lin looked a little distracted, and she said slowly, "By the way, I also need to help you register as an official mage." ….

"This kind of thing can also be done on behalf of you?"

"Hmm...... All tutors can do it for their students."

Wei Lin glanced at Xiuge: "However, the mages I have registered in the Law Committee are too short, even if I have already obtained the lake rating, I am afraid that I can only guarantee you a raindrop-level ordinary certificate, and the rest of the assessment and rating will need to be handled by yourself later."

"Thank you, Miss Verin."

"But one thing I need to make clear, once I get your papers, then in all official records you will be marked as a student of Verine Ernst, understand?"

Xiuge didn't think about it, so he gave Wei Lin an affirmative answer.

In his understanding, this provision does not seem to be fundamentally different from the signature of the thesis supervisor.

However, Verin gave a strange look in response, but she didn't say much, and after the two made up their plans to meet at Ernst Manor, Verin walked to the other end of the street with her magic book in her hand and wrapped in a scarf, where she needed to catch a car to her destination.

And Shuge stayed where he was.

His current appearance was rather strange, his thin stature and typical appearance of the Ernst family, combined with a few magic books bound with black velvet ropes in his hands, made him look like a young aristocratic scholar preparing to return home from a library or bookstore.

However, behind Xiuge, there is a crystallized gun on his back.

Even though the revolver was wrapped in cloth, it was still recognizable from its appearance, which made it a bit unique to the aura that some young women passing by couldn't help but glance at him, and some new reporters were also repaired

Drawn to Ge's attire, they mistook Xiuge for a reserve soldier who was about to join the army because of the crystallized gun on his back.

"That's enough."

Shug shook his head, and under the gaze of several whispering young girls, Shug came to a sculpture that could shelter from the wind, and at this time, on the street directly opposite him, was a shop.

It was a "herbal hot drink" shop, selling a type of herbal drink that was very popular in the highlands, not much different from the street drink shop that Xiuge remembers.

With the sensory boost brought by the magic power, Shug noticed that when he and Wei Lin arrived here, two men in overcoats came to the hot drink shop, but after they ordered drinks, they did not choose the warm room, but stayed on the relatively cold outdoor table.

Perception tells Shug that the two guys have been "snooping" in their direction more than once.

It's clear that these two guys are coming for themselves.

However, Shuge did not intend to go directly to "meet" them, he stood still across the street, his eyes were empty, and he posed as waiting for someone, but the magic slowly turned, and the messenger in the mirror came into effect at this moment.

In the cold wind that blew, a faint black mist appeared on Xiuge's face and body.

At this moment, Xiuge's eyes are focused on a metal billboard hanging from the drink shop opposite, the store must have cherished this billboard very much, so it has been polished and maintained very well, and under the street lamp, the pattern on it is constantly reflecting, like a mirror. ….

When the power of the Mirror Messenger took effect, Xiuge felt that his mind and consciousness had successfully crossed an extremely long distance, as if he had jumped into the water, and plunged into the mirror-like metal signboard.

It's a wonderful feeling to transfer your mind and mind and temporarily store it in a mirror.

And the cold is the first feeling after Xiuge enters the mirror space.

"It's not the same as what I came up to in my previous experiments...... Hey, the space of this mirror is not independent, it looks more like a world that exists and is closely related to the outside world."

Xiuge's consciousness shuddered: "Fortunately, this is winter, if it is in some hot environment, wouldn't it overload my head with high temperatures if I come like this?"

Complaining is complaining, but the help of the Messenger in the mirror is just as stark and effective.

At least for this moment, Shug was able to get a glimpse of the store's door, and he could vaguely hear people talking.

The two men were sitting at a table diagonally below the billboard, so their voices were crystal clear.

"I don't quite understand why an illegitimate child should be treated like this."

A younger man said, holding the glass bottle containing the hot herb drink in his hand, which was obviously not enough to relieve the cold, he sighed, and then said, "If this kind of standard for treating illegitimate children spreads, maybe some people will speculate that the young people of the family are dead, so they are in a hurry to find illegitimate children everywhere."

"Shut up."

Compared with the grumbling of the young man, the middle-aged man sitting opposite him was much calmer: "Don't forget who you are loyal to, all orders from the family, we just need to strictly follow them."

"Yes, I understand."

The young man answered, he picked up the glass bottle and poured two sips, and then said comfortably, "Did you see that? What is he doing? It's like a lamp pole in the cold wind...... He's got a gun, huh, don't get a souvenir from the barracks, right?"

"Shut up!"

The middle-aged man scolded in a low voice, but he did not refute the other party's judgments, obviously he was also a little confused and dissatisfied with the work he was doing at the moment.

He sighed, and then said, "I hope that this 'writer' will stop standing on the side of the street and blow the wind, and that it is better to settle down and write anything than this...... Otherwise, we won't be able to change shifts, and the one in my house is still waiting for me to go back to dinner."

As he was talking, the figure who had been standing across the street in a daze suddenly moved.

I saw him cross the road and walk towards the hot drink shop.

The two bodyguards from the Ernst family tacitly changed the subject at this moment, chatting very smoothly about the current tension between Wattle and Deland.

Like an ordinary customer, the bastard walked into the hot drink shop and quickly bought a bottle of herbal drink called "All Body Warmth", after which he walked out with a glass bottle.

And so it was to the table at the beliques of the billboard.

"It's cold, gentlemen."

To the two Ernst family bodyguards who still stuck to their posts in this weather, Xiuge extended his sincere greetings: "The family should have arranged a vehicle nearby, right? If so, please send me back to the family estate now...... I'm not looking forward to it, but I'd like to be able to dine in my bedroom tonight."
