Just as Hug privately commented on the Legislative Committee.

This incredibly large organization, which has dominated the entire magical affairs, power, and resources of Vanan for thousands of years, has an extremely complex composition.

A scholar who pursues the academic study of magic and is willing to dedicate his life to it.

Careerists who disregard the principle of neutrality as nothing and secretly join in political disputes.

Legalist loyalists and mage supremacists who regard Merlin Le as their second homeland and are willing to work hard for the benefit of the mage community.

Naturally, there are also ordinary members who work for their own lives or those of their families, as well as a considerable number of idealists who work to promote the integration of magic with social production and development.

For such a behemoth that is widespread and influential in the whole world, it is really difficult for people to define the individual members of it through a single label and concept.

From Xiuge's own experience alone, he can find many representative examples.

Her "teacher" Verine Ernst is one of them, and Berva, who has long since joined the Black Sun Society, is another.

The sword-wielding hermit who had previously hunted down Shug in the city of Salem was also a representative of a certain faction.

Valery, the mage who is willing to take risks and help the survivors of the city of Seren with his own strength, should not be ignored......

Before the peace celebration, due to the continuous transfer of the Judicial Committee, the number of mages who entered the city of Salem and came under the jurisdiction of the branch of the Judicial Committee of Celem City totaled 225, and these two hundred or so were mainly composed of mages above the raindrop level and special personnel such as sword-wielding hermits.

If you include the ordinary apprentices and clerks who can only fight the basics, as well as the professional soldiers who are authorized to use the secret rites and weapons of the Judicial Commission, the total number is close to nine hundred.

A team of this size, even in today's outside world, should not be underestimated.

With more than 200 mages trained in Merlinle, and those strong sword-wielding hermits, with sufficient resources to replenish them, this team is enough to cause bloodshed within a small principality, and even overthrow its regime.

However, the situation in the city of Salem is a bit too special and extreme, and the long-term lack of resources, the chaotic situation, and the long-term confrontation and struggle with the children of the Abyss have consumed too much energy and manpower of these members of the Law Committee.

In the midst of Bervana's heavily biased and ironic narrative, Schug finally gets a glimpse of the efforts made by the members of the Syren Branch during this time.

For Schuge, it was a slightly sad process.

"The fools who believe in false gods think they can fight against the gods and their families...... Ha, they've tried a lot."

A hideous smile broke out on Belva's ugly face when he talked about the Celestial Council branch: "They initially gathered a lot of people, including soldiers from the city and some ordinary people, and they wanted to organize a team and use numbers and magic to deal with the children of the abyss."

He shrugged, "There was nothing to say about the result, it failed, and a lot of people died...... So they changed their strategy and tried to block the entrances where the children of the abyss were preyding, which was a good idea, but we couldn't let them do it."

Shug raised his eyes and asked, "So they did block a lot of passages in the first place?"

"Yes, they've spent many, many hours on that...... Especially the square of the former bell tower, in order to seal it with a magic ceremony, they even lost two stream-level mages and a sword-wielder."

Berva chuckled, "This effort did work, but then, more cracks appeared, and the blockade was only in vain."

"What else did they do?"

"Ah...... I remember there was a mage in there, who managed to capture some of the Children of the Abyss, and also did the research, and then she proposed internally that the people in the city should be concentrated as much as possible to prevent them from being hunted and devoured."

Berva sneered:

"From their point of view, of course, this is a good way to stall for time, but the Law Committee simply can't feed that many people, so as soon as this kind of proposal was made, they quarreled internally, so we simply worked for a while, found an opportunity, and used magic to seriously injure the mage, so the internal disagreement among these people became even more serious."

Shuge sighed inwardly, and then he asked, "I've heard from others that a mage sent a silver warning signal in the city not long ago?"

"Oh yes, some idiots."

Birva shook his head, "At this point, they're still trying to fill the rift and hunt the Children of the Abyss, so I'll let the Brotherhood set them up...... Anyway, most of those guys died at the city gates, and they sent out a silver warning signal, probably trying to make a final call for help, but it didn't work."

"So, can you roughly judge how many of them are left now?"

After a moment of careful recollection, Berva said: "From the time I left, there were very few people left in the Law Council branch, many of them died, some wanted to escape and decided to go it alone, and some took refuge in Iris Street...... Now there are probably less than forty left."

After answering the question, Berva was visibly excited: "Leader, there are less than forty mages, many of them are only at the level of raindrops, there should only be one or two sword-wielding hermits left, the streams may be a little troublesome, but their magic and resources have long been exhausted, if you have an idea......

"Calm down, Birva."

Shug shook his head, then he raised his finger, and the mage's hand immediately retrieved a transparent glass jar next to him for him, and then Shug stuffed the abyssal embryo that he didn't know what to do with it for the time being, and sealed it with a magic ritual.

After doing this, he said to a somewhat puzzled Birva, "If there are only forty or fewer people in the Legislature branch, then there is no need for the waste outside...... Are you going to use those inferior alchemy bombs and crystallized guns to break the Legislature's protective ritual?"

「…… What do you mean?"

"I'm enough on my own, they can't handle me."

Xiuge squinted, "Of course, if you're willing to be my guide and help by the way, that's not bad."

Hearing this, Birva's eyes began to turn red again, and he became as excited as a vulture smelling the smell of corpses: "Of course I do...... I've long wanted to deal with these false gods myself! Thank you for giving me such an important opportunity!"

"Then go and get ready, we'll go now."

"But Leader, it's going to be dark soon."

Hearing this, Xiuge sneered, "Why, do you think that the night will hinder me?" z.br>

"Then it's up to you."

Having received "respect" and "approval" from his "leader", Berva had no doubts about the confidence shown by Shug, and he nodded heavily, full of anticipation for the hunt that was about to begin in the evening, against the members of the Dharma.

Birva's reactions and actions were largely expected by Schuge.

With a strong foundation of trust, Shug no longer needs to be as careful as he was at the beginning, and now he only needs to maintain the image and identity he has created before, and he is completely capable of controlling the entire Tricolor Brotherhood and the fanatical members of the Black Sun Society.

And all the materials collected by the entire Tricolor Brotherhood after the change in Salem City can now be at the disposal of Xiuge at will.

As a spellcaster and the de facto controller of the Brotherhood, Xiuge easily and naturally walked into the large warehouse where the Brotherhood stored alchemy and magic resources.

And the moment he walked in here, Xiuge knew that he probably didn't need to get any magic alchemy materials from Iris Street at all, because there were enough things here - it was obvious that after entering the Brotherhood, Berva used his prestige and ability to take the opportunity to collect it

Gathered a lot of things that might need to be used.

Here, Sugg even saw a very familiar steam incense burner, the same one that had been placed in Boss Gerald's alchemy shop before.

After walking around twice, Xiuge successfully picked up two materials according to the list he remembered.

And these two materials are the "good things" that Xiuge had difficulty obtaining by using his authority in Bolden before, that is, "the body fluids of the Rotten Wyvern" and "the eyeballs of the walking spiders".

In Boldon, these two things have been completely banned from trading, and it is only after he began to systematically learn stream-level magic that Xiuge learned that these two materials can be used not only to make alchemy bombs, but also to some special crystalline cannonballs, especially the former, this foul-smelling bodily fluid collected from the rotten wyverns of the distant islands overseas can be considered deadly and highly toxic to any kind of living thing.

Before entering the barracks, Xiuge had heard from Wei Lin that the Plateau Mage Council had begun to cooperate with the major alchemy and weapon workshops, and they thought that in future wars, some large shells that matched the properties and lethal effects of the high alchemy bombs might be needed.

As for the eyeballs of the Wandering Spider, Xiug has also coveted them for a long time, especially after hunting an Abyss offspring that has devoured the spider with his own hands, and Xiug is even more eager for the help it may provide to him.

The two items that Xiuge took away did not arouse anyone's doubts, if he had only taken some ordinary magic crystals, I am afraid that Berva would be puzzled.

At the moment, only this kind of material, which is extremely dangerous just by hearing the name, is more in line with Xiuge's identity.

Night fell again.

Within the Brotherhood, the members of the Black Sun Society, who had heard about their next plan of action from Berva and Shug, became so excited that they even wanted their leader to take them on such an important task.

Naturally, Shug didn't bother to pay attention to this request, and after a short period of preparation, he and Berva stepped out of the safety of the room and into the dangerous streets outside.

Berva was cautious after all.

Although he already trusted Xiuge and believed in his abilities, he was also extremely wary of the Descendants of the Abyss who roamed the city of Salem at night, although psychologically, he believed that being devoured by these Descendants of the Abyss was a sacred ritual to dedicate their souls and powers to the Dark Abyss and the ancient gods, but since the Society still needed its own strength, then death should not happen!

Shuge walked down the street with extreme indifference.

He didn't summon the Rat of Ran, just like an ordinary traveler, walking down the street under the protection of the magical fog of the Abyss.

After walking for a long time, Birva finally couldn't help but speak, "Leader, should we use the magic of transportation or summon some rideable summons? Although our station is not far from our destination, it is a bit exhausting to walk through it like this."

Berva was telling the truth, the concentration of abyss magic in his body was not as exaggerated as Xiuge, so it naturally attracted the attention of some of the Abyss heirs, along the way, Berva had been attacked several times, and fortunately, he had an extremely good control of magic, so he was able to escape every time.

And throughout this process, Xiuge did not help him.

In the face of Birva's proposal, Shuge seemed to be deaf, and as he walked slowly, he asked, "By the way, Birva, how long have you been a member of the Society and the Abyss History Society?"

"I've been a member of the Society for twelve years!"

Although he didn't quite understand why Shuge asked these questions at this time, Berva respectfully gave his answer: "I joined the Abyss Historical Society six years ago."

"Oh......"

Shuge nodded in satisfaction, and then he smiled, "Then you should know the 'Lecturer', right?"

"Lecturer? Yes...... Yes, I knew him, a profound scholar, and he received me when I first entered the Historical Society."

Berva replied,

As he cast his gaze on a shadow beside the street, a large mass of abyssal heirs was squeezing out of the cracks in the building.

According to common sense, the two of them had better choose to hurry up and leave quickly, but Shuge still walked forward unhurriedly, and he even continued the topic just now.

"Yes, the lecturer is indeed a very talkative person, but unfortunately, he had an accident not long ago, and I won't have a chance to talk to him again."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Belva's face, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"The Lecturer is dead, and he has been exposed to the power of the Abyss up close, and his bones are gone."

At this time, the dim moonlight shone on Xiuge's face, and Berva, who was walking next to him and was about to set up a protective ceremony, found that his leader's face did not have the slightest sadness for the death of the "lecturer".

He was smiling very, very happily.
