Chapter 200: Plans and Changes

Valery's performance pleased Schug.

Shug doesn't actually want to use words and emotions to torment a kind and responsible person, but it is a very effective and relatively limited method at such a time.

He had to make sure that the Valery mage had faith in him and help him push what was next.

The tragic situation in the city of Salem did not need to be exaggerated or whitewashed, he only needed to describe it truthfully enough, and Valery, as a magician of the Legislature, was convinced of it after hearing the account of the Descendants of the Abyss—with his own magical knowledge, Valery immediately realized that the extremely terrifying possibility described by Xiuge was real.

If those silty monsters already possess near-human intelligence, then sooner or later they will be able to learn and master everything that humans have. Z.br>

In such a situation, Merlinle's blockade is tantamount to buying time for these monsters to continue hunting the survivors of the city and digest the memories and knowledge of the victims.

In addition, the monsters are already full of magic, which makes it possible for them to "control" magic.

This series of conjectures frightened Valery.

What frightened him was not the growth possibilities of the monster, but the attitude of the outside world.

Valery didn't lie to the two of them, Merlin Le and indeed had a sample of these monsters a long time ago, and began to study them, and it stands to reason that a preliminary conclusion should have been drawn a long time ago, but until now, Merlin Le and He have remained silent.

This means that the research of the Legislature scholars on this monster has come to a standstill, or the worst case scenario.

Even Merlin and Le couldn't find any effective workaround.

"Mage Valery, I've hunted them many times...... I've even had face-to-face conversations with them, and I know this monster better than anyone else."

Just when Valery was feeling pain and despair, Hug gave him a timely shot of strength: "They are terrible and always growing, but they are not necessarily invincible, at least for now they are still in the clumsy learning and imitation of humans, and we still have a chance."

These words of Shuge brought a new light to Valery's eyes, but he still maintained the rigor of a mage, and raised his hand to write in the air: "Then what do you think I should do? According to the current directives of the Legislative Committee, the ceremonial hall needs to be inspected in batches several times a day, and no mage has the authority to remove the ceremonial hall."

Shug replied with a smile, "I'm sure that Merlin Lehe doesn't want to solve these hidden dangers, but in the current context of the war, they are destined to have no way to mobilize a large amount of manpower into the city of Selen, and they can't afford the potential losses that this decision may cause."

"Master Valery, I hope you will seriously consider whether there are other trustworthy people around you who also follow the city of Selen...... If so, try to tell him a little bit about what I've told you, or even try to pass it on......

"Pass?"

"Yes, Salem City needs more than just Merlinle's attention...... Waterl, Dere, and these nearby principalities, if we want to solve the problem of Salem City, we need more push."

The exchange between Shug and Valery lasted for more than an hour, and the two of them wrote so many magical words in the air that they even formed a slight magical cloud near the city gates.

These magical clouds naturally attracted the covetousness of the two descendants of the Abyss, so Xiug took the opportunity to show Valery his incomparably skilled hunting skills at the gates of the city.

Of course, this time he was using universal magic, and he had to use fire magic to incinerate the Descendants of the Abyss to the ground.

Although he missed some of the power essence of the Descendants of the Abyss because of this, Xiuge's performance also dispelled the doubts in Valery's heart

What is said is more credible.

In the further communication between the two, Valery brought a big surprise to Xiuge.

When Valery asks Shoge if he needs to deliver letters to trusted people, Shog tries to give the name "Frey Meyer".

When he saw the name, Valery was extremely surprised, and when he asked Hug carefully, he learned that the young mage from St. Steele had heard of the pseudonym "Meyer" before, and had even read his articles published in the newspapers.

On the basis of such a relationship, the cooperation between the two seems to become smoother and more natural.

The two sides agreed to meet at noon on the south side of the city five days later.

Valery then left all the supplies he had brought, and took with him the important information that Shug had told him, as well as the letter he needed to send to "Frey Meyer".

At the end of this particular meeting, Felix slowly stood up from the side, looking a little confused and a little disappointed.

"You want to use Mage Valery to expose the deplorable situation in the city? So that the city of Salem can be brought back into the limelight?"

Felix's face was full of puzzlement: "Such a move...... Can it really give hope to the city of Seren? If the war out there really turns out like that, as you say, then the Legislative Affairs Commission probably won't have time to take care of us, right?"

"Felix, the transmission and disclosure of information is just a formality."

"The key to this is that in this way, we are able to put the hidden danger that the city of Salem represents directly in front of everyone," replied Shugue.

"They don't have to solve the problems of Seren, but they have to understand what happens if you let the monsters devour the people of the city and let them learn slowly......

Speaking of this, he let out a chuckle: "Human beings are always like this, when they are faced with different paths, they will always try to choose a path that seems easier to follow in the short term and more beneficial to themselves...... It's short-sighted."

"It's a very common problem, and it's common to all people, including the royal families of Wattle and Teresa, the nobles, and of course ourselves...... What we have to do now is to take a more extreme approach and artificially exclude one of these options for them."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and when the Rat emerged from the magical mist, he pointed to the trailer full of supplies that Valery had used his magic to push through the gates before leaving.

As soon as the order was given, Xiuge felt a strong dissatisfaction in the magical connection with Snick, but as Snug's gaze swept over, Snige had no choice but to walk over in a huff, and with a flexible roll of his three tails, he consciously tethered the trailer behind him.

Felix's gaze swept over Hug's face, and he noticed that when he said the words, his expression had become a little strange, he seemed to be laughing, but he seemed to be gritting his teeth, and the words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.

It looks a little hideous.

So Felix cautiously asked, "You just said ...... 'extreme'?"

In the next moment, Xiuge's expression returned to its original state, and he nodded, "Yes, 'extreme'."

He walked up behind the Rat Run, reached out and looked through the supplies, and explained, "I think that if there is a universal problem that occurs frequently and is always unsolved, it means that what we know as a "universal solution" is no longer applicable...... At such times, special approaches should be applied to special circumstances."

"As I said in my previous conversation with Valery, there are two reasons why Merlinle and the Legislature have chosen to blockade the city of Salem and put the matter on hold."

Xiuge raised his fingers: "One is that Merlin Le and he thinks that he can't solve the matter here for the time being, and the other is because of the current war......

There's no way they're going to be able to summon a lot of manpower to deal with the city of Salem while maintaining the mage input in the huge front."

"So now we need to make it clear to everyone out there—"

At this point, Shuge suddenly raised his voice a bit: "First of all, the residents of Seren City are not willing to sit still, we can find a way to save ourselves, but we must have the cooperation and support of the outside world."

"Secondly, we must warn the Legislature and the nations outside that if the problem of the city of Salem is not resolved, it will not be long before the hidden dangers here will completely explode, and no one will be able to stay out of the situation, and everyone in the outside world will be completely involved...... At that time, they will face a situation that is a hundred times ten thousand times more difficult than that of Salem City!"

From Xiuge's words, Felix smelled a trace of abnormal madness, his lips moved slightly, but before he could speak, there was a sudden sound of footsteps not far behind him, so Felix immediately pulled out his gun and turned back, only to see that more than a dozen crystallized guns had been aimed at himself, Xiuge, and the big mouse behind him.

"Uh......"

Felix's body paused, and he immediately stopped moving, his gaze drifting to the side.

Xiuge's expression was as usual, and there was not even half a nervous expression on his face, and the huge magic mouse that he had summoned was now lying on the ground honestly, with a pair of green eyes constantly turning, and there was no sign of panic or nervousness.

Seeing this, Felix also calmed down a little, but in the face of these black muzzles, he still chose to slowly put his weapon on the ground, and then raised his hand to show that he did not pose any threat.

Seeing that Felix had already lowered his weapon, the men with the crystallized guns turned their eyes behind Felix.

Whether it's the missized three-tailed rat or the young man standing by the trailer looking through the supplies inside, it's worth paying more attention to than Felix.

Such a large rat could obviously only be some kind of special magical creature, and the young man holding the metal cane was obviously a mage.

When these people observe Xiuge, Xiuge is also confirming the identity of these people.

In fact, long before Valery left, he had noticed the approach of these people.

Without exception, these people were all dressed as soldiers, and they were dressed in the standard military coats of the city of Seren, but they were wearing the dark blue uniforms unique to the King of Deran's *** team, and on the left chest of their coats, they all outlined a somewhat rudimentary "irise" logo with waterproof magic oil paint.

It is not difficult to see that these people are all from Iris Street, which is managed by General Butz.

Shugg also noted that the soldiers seemed to be Teresa, or at least of Teresan ancestry—slightly curly hair and a lighter hair color were typical of plain blood.

In front of such a group of people, Felix, who has the blood of Saint-Steele, and Xiuge, who obviously has the status of a Wattle nobleman, are a little eye-catching.

Looking at these Iris Street soldiers who were waiting for them, Xiuge sighed silently.

He was only one step away from gaining the new abilities of the Mirror Emissary, and if the circumstances allowed, he could even complete the last few "targets" on the way home, but now it seems that the plan has not been able to catch up with the change after all.

Xiuge's mage status and the huge Running Rats still brought great deterrence to these Iris Street soldiers after all.

At the same time, through quick observation and intuitive judgment, Hug decided that these guys should not be the same as the members of the Tricolor Brotherhood.

Since they are not pure robbers and robbers, there is naturally room for communication and exchange between the two sides, and the passage that Xiuge deliberately raised his voice before is also aimed at these Iris Street soldiers - if General Boots and Iris Street really want to do something, then they will not ignore what they just said.

Just as Shuge had thought, the man at the head came to him with a frown, his tall and well-proportioned figure and gestures

With a hint of the air peculiar to a professional soldier, Xiuge noticed that the man also had a standard wheel crystal gun pinned to his waist, which he knew, should be a symbol of the Derean officer.

"I'm sorry to meet you like this, Your Excellency ...... Master."

In this case, the man still maintained basic etiquette, his gaze stayed on Xiuge's face for a few seconds, and then a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be a nobleman on the plateau?" Uh, the Ernst family?"

"An illegitimate child banished by the Ernst family, to be exact."

Shug smiled and looked at the man twice, then he raised his hand, patted the body of the rampaging rat beside him twice, and said slowly, "I used to live in that old mansion in the city of Seren, and I made a living from manuscript fees...... Maybe you've read what I've written?"
