Wei Lin, who has completely entered the state, exudes a very unique temperament from top to bottom.

Like an alchemy machine that works according to a predetermined process, she begins to give a series of commands with rigor and fluidity, breaking down the puzzle she faces into countless parts, after which she begins her sleepless research.

Crazy and charismatic.

Of course, few people now have the time and mood to appreciate this charm, especially the mages who have been assigned to work under Verin, and under the pressure exerted by Steward Finn, they can only accept Viline's orders honestly, and force their discomfort and fear to examine the patients who are in flux, and begin to copy and imprint those lines that they think have no real meaning at all.

A large magic curtain was hung directly by Wei Lin on the walls of the laboratory, and as the research unfolded, more and more seemingly irregular patterns were arranged in the magic curtain.

Wei Lin had expected that her work would be progressing very slowly or even hopefully, but what she didn't expect was that not long after the research had officially begun, there had already been significant progress.

Soon after Wei Lin categorized and analyzed these patterns according to her own conjectures, she made a very strange discovery—these distorted patterns, which seemed to be chaotic and extremely abstract, actually had a certain pattern.

They are repeated very frequently and very highly.

Yes, it's repetition, not just similarity.

When Wei Lin carefully compared the samples she selected, she was surprised to find that the similarity between these samples had reached an outrageous level, and after Wei Lin used experimental equipment to examine the selected grain samples in more detail, she was even more sure that the similarity between these lines was very likely to have reached 100%.

At the very least, on the highest scale of observation she could currently grasp, they were completely consistent with each other.

She was a little unconvinced of her findings, because it was obviously contrary to common sense, and unless the lines were printed on the same stencil, the same machine, and the same ratio of ink, like the newspaper in the newspaper, it would never be 100% overlapping.

Even a deep-sea mage can't guarantee that two magic models of the same magic will be completely identical!

This is the consensus of the entire magical academic community, and it is also the general law of the whole of Vane.

After Willin reported the findings, Butler Finn rushed to the lab, where he quickly examined Willin's findings, and after verifying them with his own instruments, the veteran, powerful, and well-informed royal magic advisor fell silent for a long time.

In the process of Finn's examination of these preliminary results, Wei Lin had been observing the royal housekeeper very carefully, and seeing that Finn was only silent, but did not show too much surprise, Wei Lin took the initiative to ask: "You don't seem surprised by such a result, so can I think that the Council and the Law Committee have made similar discoveries somewhere?" ”

Finn turned his head to look at the strange shapes that appeared on the magic curtain, his eyes wandering between the distorted lines for a few seconds, and then, he nodded, and said softly, "The world is different, Van is different. ”

"Different? What do you mean? ”

"The situation in the world, the future development...... All the systems and rules that we are familiar with, of course, include the magic that we rely on the most. ”

As she spoke, the elven mage raised her palm, and then Verin saw a ball of magic light in its simplest and purest form appear on Finn's fingertips, suspended in mid-air, and its color began to change slowly.

Wei Lin looked at this small ball of light, and her brows couldn't help but twist: "Light trick experiment? ”

"Well, that's right, that's it...... Read on. ”

So Wei Lin closed her mouth, she was very familiar with this experiment, but this experiment is generally used by mages to check the stability of their own and the surrounding environment, the experimenter needs to carefully control the color of the magic ball, so that it goes from light white to dark black, in this process, the deeper the light emitted by the magic ball, the thicker the color, the higher the requirements for the caster's magic control ability.

Generally speaking, only a deep-sea level mage can really let his magic ball of light complete this theoretical process, because in the end, this fragile magic sphere will become extremely fragile and sensitive, and any slight turmoil may cause it to dissipate on the spot.

Of course, the magical environment in the laboratory was stable, so Wei Lin saw that the magic ball of light summoned by Finn began to gradually change from bright white to dark, he was a real master magician, extremely skilled in manipulating magic power, and soon, this ball of light turned from white to yellow, from yellow to green...... And when it turned a deep purple, it didn't stop there, but continued to change towards a heavier black.

Finn looked very relaxed, and Viline could feel the stability of the ball of light, she had expected this simple test to be over, but in the next second, just as the ball of light was about to complete its final transformation, it violently shook at Finn's fingertips.

It was as if a drop of oil paint had fallen into the turbulent water, and in an instant, the ball of light was torn apart by the invisible "turbulence", and its color, light and shadow were directly dissipated in the air.

"Huh?"

Wei Lin's eyes widened.

She knew that Finn would not inexplicably show such an experiment in front of her, so she had been paying close attention to the magical environment around her, but she didn't notice anything unusual, but the ball of light collapsed directly under this situation.

It doesn't make sense.

"That's what we're really facing today...... Vann, and all the beings within it, have fully adapted to the magic of stability. ”

For the first time, Wei Lin heard the confusion from the mouth of Butler Finn, an elven mage who was more than a hundred years old and had witnessed the changes of Vane's time, as if he had become an apprentice for the first time in understanding magic and magical power.

"As spellcasters, all of us believe in the eternal and unchanging laws of magic, but now ...... It is about to be broken, our perception of magic and magic needs to be rewritten, and everything related to magic must be changed and replaced. ”

"Miss Viline, the magic of the whole of Van En is changing, and the laws we are familiar with no longer exist."

……

"Whew...... Whew......"

Heavy gasps continued to emanate from the body of the Rat Run.

It's already tired, tired.

Even if Shuge never stopped supplying mana, Snikch could no longer continue to run at high speeds.

Xiuge had to admit that his assessment of the Descendants of the Abyss was still too low.

The speed at which they were growing was so fast that Shuge felt very uncomfortable, because he knew very well that there were very few survivors captured by the Descendants of the Abyss in Seren City during this time, and he had thought that the size of the Descendants of the Depths should be controlled in the same state as before, but it turned out that their size and number were still growing.

They're like mold entrenched in an uninhabited damp house!

Even Xiuge didn't know exactly how this level of growth occurred, and he even took the risk of launching several counterattacks during the chase of the Descendants of the Abyss, and forcibly grabbed a considerable part of the Heir's power with the help of the Mirror Emissary's mist, and tried to find a specific reason for it.

However, this attempt ultimately failed.

Among the abyss essences he had captured, Xiuge couldn't find any information he was looking for, important memories, the location of the lair, and the specific situation of the clan...... Important information such as this seems to have been isolated and eliminated in advance.

This is definitely not a good sign.

"The wisdom of their subjective will is no different from that of ordinary people...... And the will is already aware of the threat I pose to them. ”

As he thought, Shug pressed his palm against the horns of the Rat of the Running Rat, and more mana was injected into its body, causing it to briefly regain its magic, and then Snick let out a piercing hiss, and the speed that had been slowed down increased again, forcibly shaking off the approaching black wave behind it.

"They see me as one kind, so they must know that I can get the message by devouring them...... So they're trying to be on the lookout. ”

Shuge quickly went through the messy information in his head, and then threw them directly into the corners of the spiritual world: "These children of the abyss are consciously mobilizing and distributing the knowledge and memories within the entire race, and they are acting like ant colonies and bee colonies...... No, it's more like a large tribe in the conventional sense, they are following the management of the supreme will, directly distributing everything they have, making themselves more efficient. ”

At this moment, the will of the Ernst family, who had been dealing with the messy information in the vicinity for Xiuge, gave a timely reminder.

"Kid, we're going back to Ladies Street again...... But the good news is that there's a gap ahead of us, and the 'silt' isn't big enough to cover these blocks! ”

"Then go through it."

Shug reluctantly touched Snick's back, and after running for a whole day, its size began to shrink, and when he reached down, he could actually feel its bones through its fur.

"We must stay in the northern part of Salem City now, they are still too numerous, and if they are allowed to disperse, there is a high chance that the plan will be ruined...... They must not be given the opportunity to spot the movement in the direction of Iris Street. ”

"You're the only one to drag out the remaining five days? It's not realistic. ”

The voice of the old general Bernhardt came from the depths of the spiritual world: "Those monsters obviously know that they can't eat you directly, but they will definitely not let you go." ”

"It's best that way, I need to keep an eye on them, and if they have a tendency to disperse and spread in other directions of the city, we have to take the initiative and hit them hard and redraw their attention."

In the middle of the conversation, Snicky had succeeded in carrying his master through the encirclement of the Descendants of the Abyss, which had not yet been completely closed.

Under the thick darkness of the night, the black waves that surged between the buildings were like ever-changing walls, and Schuge, who had already clashed with them several times, knew very well that these guys would not miss a chance to hunt themselves.

During that conversation during the day, Shuge successfully received an "ultimatum" from the main body of the Descendants of the Abyss.

Yes, they do use that vocabulary.

In order to adapt to the ever-changing magical environment, and to welcome the imminent Black Sun, these mutilated creatures, already possessing a high degree of intelligence, have shown unprecedented initiative, and according to their meaning, there is only one ending between the Descendants of the Abyss and Shug - fusion.

It doesn't matter if they devour them or if they devour them.

They only need to achieve that ultimate goal, because according to their understanding, this is the key to the true survival of the large race in the "new era" to come.

Shug felt the state of the Running Rat and his own mana stock, and then he raised his hand and pointed to the dark shadow on the street in the distance: "Go upstairs, Snicky...... See the apartment in front of you? Find a way to go to the roof, and when you get there, you can rest. ”

The Running Rat, with the owner's permission, continued to run.

Eventually, it gasped and sent Xiuge to its destination, the apartment building had collapsed a little bit in the previous earthquake, but fortunately, the remaining part was still standing, which gave Xiuge a relatively safe place to stay.

Extremely tired, Snikch was decisively sent back to the groove of the metal disc by Shuge, and the essence of the Descendants of the Abyss that he had hunted before was also "fed" to the faithful mount.

After swallowing the food, the Rat curled up in the groove and began to sleep.

After confirming that the condition of the Rat was slowly recovering, Xiuge relented and set about erasing the traces of mana and constructing a protective ritual, but in the process, he clearly sensed that the magic around him was significantly more irritable than before.

The strange and inexplicable tremor continued to rise in frequency, and when the tremor occurred, Shuge could even see the lines trembling in the night with his magical vision.

Shuge still didn't know where the tremor was coming from.

But the trembling lines of mana, and the tremor he felt, gave him a somewhat terrifying association.

He always felt that this tremor was like the heartbeat of a living creature.
