Like a warrior who went to risk for the greater good, Shuge walked forward under the gaze of countless soldiers behind him.

These soldiers didn't quite understand why these terrible wild mages were attacking the headquarters of the hunting regiment, and they didn't quite understand why they wanted to "take away" Xiuge by name, but they all knew that Xiuge's choice at this moment protected himself and his comrades to some extent.

However, Shuge didn't give the Chasseur soldiers time to say goodbye, he simply nodded to the middle-aged mage of the Black Sun Society, and then walked with him in the direction of the Black Forest Fort.

Behind Xiuge, the soldiers of the hunting regiment gave a silent military salute.

For them, as members of the elite troops of the Wattel Kingdom, what they saw and heard tonight was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation of their military status, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Even at the dawn of new weapons and technologies, spellcasters who wield magical powers were able to demonstrate their prowess within a certain range, and after the Black Sun Society's successful infiltration of Waterl's military, they were able to seize this extremely important and delicate opportunity for the Fifth Hunting Regiment.

As if they had received some guidance in the dark, the Black Sun Society once again carried out its plan "just right".

Wei Lin reached out to support her chin, and her gaze lingered on the distant back for a long time.

As Shug Ernst's teacher, friend, and partner in this world, Willin is confident that she still knows a certain amount about Shug, and just now, her intuition told her that this guy who was going to risk alone did not seem to be nervous, on the contrary, he seemed to be confident in what would happen next.

Although it is not known where his confidence came from, he does not seem to be at fault in this regard.

So Wei Lin retracted her gaze, she pointed to the officers on the side of the crystal cannons that had been dragged by the molten earth dragons, and said, "Accept it, pay attention to check the condition of the crystal cannons and cannonballs, and don't miss them...... We'll return to our positions as soon as the count is over."

The night was still deep, but dark clouds were drifting in the distance along the cold wind, and under their shadow, the bright starlight had also dimmed.

The Black Sun Mage who was in charge of leading the way for Xiuge looked up at the sky, and then he led the way as he said, "The weather is changing, and the battle of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment tomorrow may not be too easy."

"The weather doesn't treat anyone differently, and although the Chasseurs won't have an easy time, the Tereans will also face difficulties as the attackers."

Xiuge replied casually, he quickened his pace slightly, and came directly to the middle-aged mage's side, as if the other party was his companion and not the enemy who led the way, and then Xiuge said, "Isn't Your Excellency going to introduce the association first? You're not going to just talk to me about war, are you?"

"Ah...... I'm sorry, but I was rude."

The middle-aged mage smiled, "In that case, please allow me to introduce myself first...... The contemptible is from the Kingdom of Hyne, a member of the Hayne Academy of Magic, and is nicknamed "Lecturer" in the association."

The middle-aged man, or "lecturer," said, "The association assigns each formal member to each member according to different fields and topics, which Mr. Schug can understand as different departments under a large organization."

"So what is the field of Mr. Lecturer?"

"I am deplorable in the historiography of the Abyss, but unfortunately, our progress in this field has been very slow, but if we can get someone like you to join, then I am sure that the Society will take a crucial step in this field!"

Listening to the lecturer's words, Xiuge's eyes couldn't help but narrow: "Interesting, I would like to know, what do you use to divide the realm?"

"Through our faith."

The lecturer explained, "Every full member who is able to join the association is without exception a person who can experience the real miracles and witness the power of the gods...... Depending on the miracles we can witness, we can basically judge the realm and reason to which each person belongs

Deities to be believed."

"I see."

Shug nodded, and then he asked, "And what is Your Excellency's faith?"

Hearing this, the lecturer shook his head: "It is disrespectful to talk about the names of the gods, and only in solemn places of worship can we call their names to a limited extent...... As for those who choose the gods indiscriminately and call them by name whenever and wherever they want, they are nothing more than a bunch of blind fools."

His words reminded him of the artillery officer who had helped the Black Sun Society launch the Bolden bombardment and was eventually captured in an underground cell, and from the point of view, the guy seemed to fit perfectly with what the lecturer called a "fool".

"I know that Mr. Schug must be extremely curious about us right now, but I alone will inevitably miss something, and it would be bad if you had some misunderstanding of the Society...... But don't worry, when *** starts, someone will naturally introduce you to our organization and business in detail."

The lecturer was a very talkative person, and although he was not willing to continue talking to Shuge about everything about the Black Sun Society in the current situation, he steered the conversation to the war, the situation, etc., after a few clever words.

Shuge had to admit that, despite being a member of the Black Sun Society, this lecturer was indeed an excellent conversationalist, well-informed, and aware of the current changes in the situation in various countries, and even about the changes in the eastern world on the other side of the ocean.

In the course of the conversation, the lecturer was also surprised by the calmness and composure of Xiuge, and the quality of Xiuge and his performance made him even more convinced of the judgment made by the association.

Of course, the lecturer did not know that the main reason why Xiuge was so calm was that there were no obvious warning signs in his spiritual world, although the speed of the disc increased slightly, but this was only a reaction caused by the magical stimuli around him, and had nothing to do with the sense of crisis.

The two of them stepped into the confines of the hill as they talked, and soon, Shug felt the magic power that had interfered with the magic summons and directly attacked all those who entered, and it should have come from some large ritual arena set up here.

Xiuge could even feel that the magic was constantly tempting and invading him, but after countless times of destruction and replenishment, the strength of Xiuge's spiritual world was no longer comparable to that of ordinary spellcasters, under the combined effect of the existence of the "Walking Forest", dark green crystals and metal discs, the majestic tide of magic began to reverberate in Xiuge's body, and any external force that tried to invade his body was wiped out and expelled at the first time.

The lecturer's gaze lingered on Shuge's body for a moment, and after confirming that the ritual field really had no real effect on Xiuge, he stopped his senseless temptation and summoned his mount from the checkpoint set up by the Chasseur - two strange warhorses covered in gray-white manes, with a narrow head, and a mouth partially covered with a hard bony shell.

Although Shug did not know them, he could also see that they were the descendants of some ancient magical creature, and that they should be among the rare species in the Van Grace.

However, the Black Sun Society was very natural in summoning these magical creatures, and the lecturer directly handed the reins of a war horse into Shug's hands, and after he turned over on his horse, he led Shug to gallop away in the direction of the Black Forest Castle.

The pace of this particular horse was very steady and astonishing, and soon it was carrying Shug to the gates of the Black Forest Castle, where the banners of the Fifth Chasseur and the Kingdom of Waterl had been taken down and replaced by an unfamiliar flag that was magically fastened directly above the gate.

A large black sun was painted on the surface of the banner, and on either side of the gate below stood golems guarded by mages, who were even equipped with greatswords forged from a mixture of demonic silver.

In the past, these ugly and extremely expensive guardians were often used in mage towers and other important magical sites, under the command and maintenance of specialized spellcasters, but now

They're pretty rare anymore.

After all, as the power of weapons such as the Crystallized Golem continues to expand, the disadvantages of this Guardian Golem are becoming more and more obvious, and it is really not cost-effective to create a bulky target that is likely to collapse in a few rounds of shooting at a hundred times the cost of the Crystallized Gun and the Alchemy Bomb.

However, the Black Sun Society apparently improved these Guardian Golems to a considerable extent, and Shug discovered that their surfaces were covered with a layer of magical patterns that were resistant to both magical explosions and impacts, and that the Golem's fragile joints were reinforced with strong metal for additional protection.

There are quite a few golems, and there are about twenty of them in the gates of the Black Forest Fort and the corridor leading to its interior.

Xiuge sighed softly, "The wealth of the association is amazing."

"Mr. Sugg is overrated."

The lecturer smiled and replied, "You should also know that not all of the collaborators of the association are wise enough to understand our cause...... Especially the large families, who are willing to provide some financial resources for the association, but this is just another clever speculation by the human beings."

Schug laughed at the lecturer's words, which were clearly mixed with sarcasm against the Ernst family.

After entering the Black Forest Fort, the speed of the metal disc began to increase slowly, and it was clear that there was some potential danger lurking here, but the threat was still limited and did not rise to the point where people needed to be on guard against it all.

Compared with Xiuge's caution, the "occupants" in the metal disc were somewhat arrogant.

The Hound from the Abyss Court seemed to yawn as he lay on the floor of his room, ignoring the believer beside Shug who had declared that he believed in the Abyss Court and "loved" everything in it, not even believing that there was any important prey around Shug that could be hunted.

The Mirror Messenger was reading quietly at the moment, and it even leisurely put its feet on the table, holding a book in its hand, which was also composed of shadows, and did not know if this act of "shadow" looking at "shadows" really had meaning.

The Touches of Calon had no way to express their emotions concretely, they just swayed quietly in the grooves, waiting for the call of Shuge.

The only thing that can be considered a little excited is the Running Mouse, this guy has slept for too long before, and when he wakes up, he can't see potential enemies and prey, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will constantly transmit his impulse and desire to hunt to Xiuge.

Now it has reached the point where it wants to go up and take a bite when it sees a new thing, and the frequency of madness is so high that Xiuge is a little scared.

"Here, please, Mr. Schugg."

Unaware of the fact that he had been turned into a teething stick by a giant mouse, the lecturer maintained the confidence and pride characteristic of a scholar and guided Shug through the wide castle grounds of the Black Forest Castle.

Here, Shuge saw a large number of people, all of whom were obviously ordinary members of the Black Sun Society, and in order to conceal their identities, they all wore black cloaks that were large enough to conceal their figures, and the cloaks were painted with the logo of the Black Sun Society.

They observed Shuge in silence, but there was an elusive frenzy in their eyes.

Shug dismounted with the lecturer and handed the horses to the two members of the Society, and together they walked into the building in the deepest part of the castle, which was supposed to be a banquet hall for the owner of the Black Forest Castle for himself, but now that the Black Sun Society had apparently converted it into a meeting place.

"Welcome to the Society, Mr. Hug Ernst."

At this moment, the calmness on the lecturer's face had gradually faded, replaced by the excitement and eagerness of facing an important ***, and he led Xiuge through the porch to a compartment in front of a banquet hall, and in this compartment, Xiuge saw a picture that was enough to make most ordinary people in Vann feel angry.

In the center of this room stands a huge sculpture made of translucent magic.

It was a huge wreckage piled up by countless gods that people believed in.

Revision

I saw the sea god, widely worshipped by the coastal residents, pressed against the bottom of the sculpture, his arms outstretched, his face hideous as if he was longing for help from the outside world.

The god of life, who is the spiritual totem of the people of St. Steele, was cut off at the waist and was extremely miserable.

The god of money and commerce, believed by the goblins and merchants, had his legs cut off, and his proud Golden Boots were left behind......

The sculpture itself is enough to be regarded as the most vicious curse on the belief in the gods of Vann.
