Before he could ask about the situation, he was forcibly dragged in the direction of the laboratory by Justina, and through the force of her dragging, Xiuge could fully feel the excitement of the magician at this time.

This emotion is very direct and very pure.

Before this, Xiuge had seen similar emotions in another figure many times.

This really seems to be a common problem among those lake-level magicians, who are always very enthusiastic about the magical subject they are studying, and once there is a great progress in these studies, or some new changes that are beyond their expectations, they will immediately become excited, excited, and when these emotions are violent, they will even ignore their environment and forget about the other situation at hand.

When he was still in Bolden, more than once when he came to ask his teacher about magic, she was inexplicably pulled by her to discuss a bunch of strange things.

Sometimes, Xiuge really envied their ability to quickly immerse themselves in their own world.

At least he doesn't feel that he can continue to push forward with his research without distractions in the face of many pressures and dilemmas.

"Please don't worry, ma'am."

Shuge chuckled and tugged at his trench coat, finally freeing it from Justina's grasp, and then asked, "What are you arguing about so many people in the hall?" ”

Justina stopped, an embarrassed look flashing across her face, "Uh...... Regarding the safety of experimental samples, it is nothing. ”

"Security concerns?"

Siug's eyebrows moved slightly, no matter what time or world it was, it didn't sound like a good word to be reassuring.

So Giustina explained, "Actually, it's the same things I talked about earlier...... A little over an hour ago, Mr. Ernst, the test specimens you captured suddenly became so active and irritable that they nearly broke the container that bound them and escaped, but luckily we dealt with them in time, otherwise they might have been hiding in our station. ”

"So the other mages are objecting to keeping these dangerous experiments in the station?"

"Only a very small percentage thinks that way, and the vast majority of people are just criticizing us for not taking precautions."

Giustina tugged at the corners of her mouth and showed a wry smile: "It's a pity that our current conditions are too limited, and we really can't use the high-standard containers and rituals of the past, and it is also thanks to Mr. Gerard who brought a batch of alchemy materials, otherwise we may not even be able to get together the most basic experimental materials and containers." ”

Shuge nodded, but his focus was not on the embarrassment of scholars such as Justina, but on the point in time she was talking about.

"Mage Giustina, more than an hour ago, it should have happened to be the time when those 'monsters' attacked the station, right?"

"In terms of time, it should be."

At this, Justina's expression became solemn again, and she nodded, "And this is what I find strange, these two events happened too close in time to make us think about it, but I am sure that the container we use to bind the test samples and the magical rituals we set up can serve to isolate the magical connection......"

"So you mean, in this case, they can still be aware of changes in the outside world in some way, and even feel the message from their own kind?"

"Correct."

During the conversation, the two of them had already arrived at the laboratory of the Legislative Affairs Committee's residence.

It was a very standard Legion lab, and the overall layout was basically the same as the Sanhedral Mage Lab that Xiuge had seen in Boldon, except that, as Giustina had said, many of the containers and cabinets used to hold magical experiments in the lab had been emptied, and some of the lab equipment had been disassembled and assembled, all of which were traces left by the Legislature branch during the most difficult period before.

There are quite a few people in the laboratory, and there are two figures that are very conspicuous.

One of them was of course Jeant, who was extremely tall as a sword-wielding hermit, and the silver greatsword he carried with him was also conspicuous, and at this time Genet was standing against the wall, carefully studying several huge jars shrouded in magical rituals.

The other figure is Boss Gerrard.

He was so prominent wherever he went, and now, in order to be able to better integrate into these professional magicians, he even forcibly put on a scholar's standard robe, but unfortunately, his figure was too wide, and the originally loose robe was dressed as a trench coat for him, and even so, it looked a little strangled.

Gerrard's mind was as nimble as ever.

He already knew that the current Shug was no longer the bastard son of the nobles who cowered in the old Ernst mansion and used a few gold coins to knock on his side, so Gerald showed a very positive and active attitude when he saw Xiuge, he stepped forward, nodded to Justina, and then walked to the wall with Xiuge and began to introduce the situation.

"There were five samples in total, and now there are only four left......"

Gerald pointed with his stubby finger at an empty jar, which clearly had some remnants of the Abyssal Heirs inside, and a visible breach in the tank itself.

"This specimen is larger and more powerful than the others, so it directly destroyed the tank and almost broke through the ritual we had set up, so we disposed of it as soon as it was safe," Gerald said. ”

Shug nodded, and then he stepped forward, and his mana perception was released, enveloping the jars of experimental specimens in front of him along with everything around them.

The traces of magic here are much more vivid and clear than the faint fluctuations that remain in the tricolor brotherhood, and this is related to the efforts of the children of the abyss who are used as experimental samples to fight against magical rituals.

Afterwards, Shug turned his attention to the other test specimens that were still kept in the tank.

These samples were all captured by Shug himself from the city of Selen, and according to Giustina's request, the size of these samples increased according to certain specifications from small to large, and the strength of their strength varied according to their own size, but now, Xiug could sense a very similar trend from these isolated samples.

It's as if they've received some kind of signal, or they've been severely stimulated, and they're extremely active and excited.

Xiuge looked carefully at these Dark Abyss Heirs who were constantly writhing in the tank, and then he turned his head and said to Genent, Gerald and the others on the side, "Can you expand the isolated ritual field?" I want to open the canisters and get up close and personal with them. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

Rao is Ji Ente and the others, who have a knowledge of Xiuge's strength, their expressions are a little subtle at this time, after all, normal people are absolutely unable to say it, and they are not qualified to say such things.

Of all the people present, only Master Justina actively raised her hand in favor, and the moment she heard Xiuge's words, the eyes of the person in charge of the laboratory had already begun to glow, but it was naturally impossible for Xiuge to let her stay in the laboratory to observe her "interaction" with the children of the Abyss, and when everything was ready, he kicked everyone out of the place and stood alone in the already expanded isolation ritual arena.

With the fluttering of the mage's hand, all four test tanks were opened.

At that moment, the pitch-black slime in the tank immediately rolled, and they quickly rushed out of the transparent cage and tried to converge in the middle, but Shuge was already prepared, he could not give these experimental samples any chance to converge, and under his manipulation, the thick abyssal mist directly formed several walls, separating them from each other.

After successfully restraining these Abyss Descendants, Xiug took a step forward, and the mist of the Mirror Emissary had already surged all over his body, and with the support of a large amount of Abyssal Magic, several Calon Touches in the form of black mist appeared, they swirled in the air, and then stabbed down on the Descendants of the Abyss who were fixed in mid-air.

This is a "technique" that Xiuge has honed in these days when he is tinkering with those remnants of the abyssal embryos.

Of course, it can also be said to be a brute force.

That is, with the power of the mirror messenger that has the same origin as the children of the abyss, and can crush the "status" of the children of the abyss, forcibly establish a weak magical connection with them, so that the two sides can barely reach a relationship similar to that between the caster and the summon.

The process was painful for both Shug and the Descendants of the Abyss, and as the Touch of Calon continued to pierce into the black slime, a flood of chaotic thoughts and indistinguishable information immediately flowed through the fragile magical connections.

As he controlled the individuals, he focused on eliminating all the useless fragments of memories in them, and what he was looking for now was the reason why the children of the Abyss had fallen into a state of frenzy and were able to "resonate" with their counterparts from the outside world.

Soon, as the redundant information was cleared, Shug succeeded in finding a similarity between the four different subjects in terms of memory and thinking.

"Around 4:20 p.m...... Experimental samples from these tanks have been examined in the laboratory, during which the tanks themselves have been briefly opened...... In other words, at this point in time, all of these specimens have come into contact with outside magic. ”

Xiuge narrowed his eyes, he looked at the children of the dark abyss who had become extremely painful because of the forcible establishment of a magical connection, but his heartbeat couldn't help but start to speed up.

"The ritual of isolation has been operating in this process, which means that they have never had the opportunity to communicate with their main group, so it affects them...... Is it the magic around you? ”

Shug was very perplexed by the conclusion he had deduced, but it was the only plausible explanation at the moment.

So, Xiug immediately disconnected himself from the magic connection between himself and the children of the Abyss, and then stuffed the half-dead experimental samples back into the tank in a very violent way, after which he stood in the center of the laboratory and began to readjust his magical state.

The metal disc in the spiritual world began to accelerate, and the majestic magic power from the dark green crystal in the center of the disc and the "Walking Forest" began to condense, and on this basis, Xiuge's magical perception was forcibly raised to a new state.

The deep abyss mist poured out from Xiuge's eyes, and under this highly concentrated magical vision, all the traces of magic around him gradually appeared, even the faintest, most imperceptible small traces became clearly visible.

Xiuge quietly observed his surroundings.

At first glance, the magic in this space was normal, but it didn't take long for Xiuge to notice some strange change in it.

With the magical vision provided by the messenger in the mirror, Xiuge found that the magic around him seemed to be trembling slightly at some strange frequency, like ripples in a huge body of water, and every few minutes, these invisible magic that filled all the corners would fluctuate under the influence of some unknown force, very regular.

This is something that Shuge has never heard of or seen.

"Is it a problem with this lab?"

With such doubts, Xiuge directly pushed open the door of the laboratory, he didn't care to hide the flickering magic mist in his eyes, so he went directly to the corridor outside under the gaze of others, and then went all the way down the corridor, back to the hall of the Dharma Committee's residence.

And yet the magic still trembled.

Similar phenomena can be found not only in the laboratory, but also in the corridors, halls, and other places where the Legislative Committee is located!

Shuge felt his heart beat faster.

With a strong sense of foreboding, he walked out of the hall and came to the center of the open space where the Dharma's headquarters was located, and then he looked up at the cold night sky above him, where some starlight was already visible.

The sight in front of him made Xiuge's eyes widen.

He saw that in the endless dark night sky above his head, there were also faint traces left by the tremors and fluctuations of the magic power, they were so neat, under Xiuge's magical vision, these fine magic lines extended from the horizon and spread towards the end of the world.

It's as if someone is constantly throwing stones into a wide expanse of water, and each time a stone falls into the water, it brings new ripples and breaks the calm of the entire water.

"The source is not in the city of Seren...... The source is not here, and the magic in the entire environment has changed, and even the entire Van En ...... The magic is trembling...... What's going on here? ”
