The picture of the city of Salem did not last long, and soon strange sights from all over Van appeared one after another.

As an ordinary viewer, Sally saw the aurora in the snowy sky that was obviously not quite right, saw the plants in the mountains and forests that had changed significantly, and Lesville even showed a strange night sky captured in the overseas Oriental country, in which a series of strange and winding lines suddenly appeared in the originally extremely calm night sky, but those lines were obviously not meteors, nor were they the traces left by crystalline cannonballs.

Instead, it was more like some large, transparent creature slowly wandering through the sky.

"Our companions are all over the world, and we have collected so many strange sights that I won't show you all of them here, but I can assure you that in the last month or two, similar and unusual anomalies have been observed in the eastern realms of the Lovi Plateau, the Plains of the Goddesses, the North, and across the ocean, and both the Legislature and the Council have investigated them, but progress has been very slow."

"So far, we can only be sure of one thing, and that is that the origins of these bizarre sights are actually the same."

Lethville paused for a moment, and then he revealed the answer: "We have reason to believe, and we must believe, that there is now some kind of change in the magic of the whole of Vann beyond what we already know!" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, many people in the venue immediately exclaimed.

Most of the people who exclaimed were mages, scholars, students, and a few devout devotees of the goddess Mel, and for these attendees, Lesville's words were a very outrageous joke, especially for the spellcasters, his words were simply overturning the basic law of magic itself!

As if anticipating people's reactions, Lesville raised his hand, and his peculiar aura resounded, suppressing the urge to speak and question questions, and then he said, "Sounds ridiculous, right?" But if you think about it, is it strange that the earthquake that caused great damage to the plateau and the plains in the past? Is there any strange attitude towards the city of Salem and these things? Also, is there some connection between the tragedy that is taking place in the city of Salem and the situation I am talking about? ”

After Lesville finished speaking, a tall figure sitting in the front row slowly got up and took off his cloak.

Everyone sitting next to him immediately became nervous, and some even went to get the weapons they were carrying.

Because they saw that under the cloak was a whole set of standard armor of the Dharma, which was tightly wrapped around an unusually strong body, which made him look like a humanoid fortress walking in the middle of this venue.

This turned out to be a sword-wielding hermit.

However, in the next moment, the sword-wielding hermit, who gave people a serious sense of oppression, spoke: "I assure you in my capacity and in my eternal faith in the goddess Mel that what Mr. Lesville says is true, and this is still a matter of secrecy in Merlinler and internally, and no discussion of any kind is allowed in public!" ”

"Thank you, my friend...... If it weren't for your help, we probably wouldn't have noticed this subtle and strange sign. ”

The hermit nodded silently, and then he sat back down, looking silently at the podium.

Lesville gestured to the elven mage next to him, who quickly replaced the magical image that needed to be displayed for Lesville, and this time, in front of everyone, a strange prophecy that almost everyone had heard of, but had never really taken seriously, and next to it, there was a floating black spherical shadow.

"One day, the gods will fall into madness, the knights will be devoured by the beasts, and the broken thrones will laugh."

"The eternal black sun will be the messenger of war, the believers who have lost their miracles and divine graces will fight each other, and the nobles who have lost their heirs and crowns will shed rivers of blood."

"People don't look up at the sky anymore because there's only the black sun left."

"People often look up at the sky because there's still a black sun there."

Underneath that classic prophecy, written in the lingua franca, there are versions of prophecies from different nations, different continents, and even from some distant islands.

Then, Lesville turned slightly and nodded to the podium.

"Here, help me carry it."

Meyer gave Sally his hat, coat, and belongings, and walked up to his friend, clearing his throat, and then speaking in his gentle, firm, and powerful voice, "I'm Frey Mayer, and everyone has heard my name, so I'm not going to waste any time here...... Since Darthwell has asked me to come up, it's up to me to tell you what's next. ”

Sally sat straight in her place with a large pile of things in her arms, and she looked at the podium motionlessly, more seriously than anyone present.

And the next moment, her teacher, Meyer, said something even more shocking and terrifying in front of everyone.

"I'm here to tell you explicitly, or rather to inform you."

This ancient prophecy, which we have regarded as a joke for thousands of years, is indeed true, and the picture it paints will soon be verified...... And the black sun, which is worshipped as a god by the Black Sun Society, will eventually appear in front of us. ”

"It's going to be a challenge for us or just a few countries."

"This would be a disaster for all of Vann!"

His words slammed into the calm waters of the lake like huge rocks, and then Meyer went straight to the point, and he continued: "I know what some of my friends here think of me and Markham and the others, and you may think that what we want to do in the final analysis is to overthrow the regime of Saint-Steele and expel the royal family that persecuted the people of the North...... Now, I can tell you unequivocally that that's just part of what we want to do. ”

His tone softened slightly: "Yes, we first came together just to fight for more rights for those poor workers, everyone said that St. Steele was a country built on crystallized mines, but crystallized mines do not mine themselves, my cold homeland is built on flesh and blood, the flesh and blood of workers, farmers and soldiers...... And now, with the frequency of the Black Day Association, our goals are also changing. ”

"Those who believe in the Lost Gods! Those fearless and all-stop-free madmen are moving from behind the scenes to the front of the stage! Ladies and gentlemen, they are no longer content to hide in the shadows and control the politics of a country, nor are they willing to secretly exert influence on the situation in the world, and with the appearance of the Black Sun, they will become more unscrupulous and more crazy! ”

“…… The Black Sun Society is so similar to ours in some ways, they also have a large number of members, and they are scattered in all fields, hidden in the governments and people of various countries, so this means that once we decide to start fighting them, the battle will be extremely hard and long...... Attention everyone, the confrontation I am referring to is not only the struggle of our people against the Black Sun Society, but also the struggle of all races in the entire Van'en, across different continents and countries! ”

Someone raised his hand, it was a slightly timid looking scholar, and Mayer raised his hand to him and asked him to ask a question.

The scholar pursed his lips vigorously, he stood up and asked in a somewhat trembling voice, "What I want to ask is that even if that prophecy is indeed true, there is no way for us to prevent the 'black sun' from descending, right?" ”

"I think so."

Meyer nodded directly: "It will rise normally like the sun we are familiar with now." ”

"Does this mean that our association with the Black Sun, and the confrontation with the forces behind them, are actually ...... Pointless? ”

"Pointless? Hmm, great question. ”

Meyer smiled, then pressed his palm, motioned for the confused scholar to sit down, and then asked, "Everyone! I would like to ask you a question here. ”

He paused, the passion in his voice faded slightly, and then Meyer said, "Everyone should have read the articles in the Torch Newspaper, so they should all know something about the beliefs of the Black Sun Society, right?" ”

Many people in the audience gave an affirmative answer.

So Meyer said, "Then please tell me, in your eyes, what kind of people are the members of the Black Sun Society?" ”

"Maniac!"

"Blasphemer!"

"A swarm of maggots crawling on Vann!"

"They are dangerous pests who disrupt our order!"

Soon, the chaotic but unanimous answer filled the room, and Mayer raised his hand again, and only after the people had quieted down did he continue: "There is really nothing we can do to stop the arrival of the black celestial body, and this may be the fate that Vain and all those in Vain must face, and we have no other choice at this point...... But are you willing to hand over yourself, your family, and the future of your country to the Black Sun Society? ”

"The answer, of course, is no, and I don't think any normal person would agree to these things."

"After all, in the eyes of the Black Sun Society, we are nothing more than a remnant of a long time, a cheap sacrifice that should be offered to that evil faith...... That being the case, we should stand up to them. ”

"It's a very simple truth, it must be known and understood by more people, and if enough people agree with it, then our original goal can be achieved – to gather millions of souls together and try to push away the boulder that is about to fall on our heads!"

"Today, we need to take that first step here!"

……

Wei Lin had no idea what was going on in Verdant Harbor.

Likewise, she had no way to get any more information about her student and friend, and after a night's drive and half a day's drive, she finally arrived at her destination, the camp where the Emergency Committee of Salem was located.

After stepping off the steam chariot, Viline saw a busy scene.

Vehicles of all kinds are moving in and out under the command of the soldiers, countless spare supplies and weapons are being transported to the warehouses that have been erected in an orderly manner, and a tower built by magic stands near the station, which is obviously the result of the cooperation between the Law Council and the Council, because on the top of this tower, Vilin can see a variety of traces of secret rites from the two mage organizations at the same time.

"Time is short, and this is the only way to better monitor the anomalies in the direction of Salem City......"

The middle-aged mage who was in charge of leading the way for Wei Lin sighed: "Madam, you have also seen that the connection and cooperation between the different ritual venues are not very in place, but in any case, it can be considered to be able to operate normally, and you should go up there in person next." ”

Verin nodded, and then two Ymir soldiers walked over, carrying Verin's belongings and following them directly behind them.

"Let's go, let's go to the makeshift lab."

Wei Lin raised an eyebrow: "Shouldn't I report for duty?" ”

"No need ma'am, the situation is urgent, Butler Finn has been waiting in the lab for a long time...... Quick, follow me. ”

Soon, Vicline was in front of a makeshift building, and upon stepping into the ritual arena where the building was protected, she immediately smelled a very disturbing and unpleasant smell that was very similar to what it smelled like after the explosion of unstable magic crystals, which often appeared at the scene of failed magical experiments.

The middle-aged mage took the two metal masks from the side and handed one of them to Wei Lin: "Wearing this, although it is non-toxic, it will still make people uncomfortable after smelling it for a long time." ”

Once the two had put on their metal masks, he led Verin down a long corridor and finally stopped at a large door, where he kindly reminded, "It's here, ma'am...... You need to be mentally prepared. ”

Wei Lin cautiously took a step back: "What? ”

"As I mentioned earlier, the wounded who came back from the rift are here now...... They're probably not going to look very good now, I mean...... The kind of situation that is enough to make a qualified mage vomit. ”

“……”

Hearing him say this, Wei Lin couldn't help frowning, and then she quickly applied a magic to herself to stabilize her spirit and mood, and only when everything was ready, she nodded: "Open the door." ”

The mage nodded, and he reached out to open the door.

Then, a terrifying image of severe discomfort appeared in front of Wei Lin.
