"Mage Giustina, looks like you're in a good mood?"

The soldier in charge of the storehouse was already familiar with the venerable one-armed female scholar, and he nodded at Giustina, and then asked, "You are here to get experimental materials?" Or is it a magic crystal? ”

"Well, all of them are needed."

The soldier looked left and right: "Then you should bring someone to help too...... Oh, sorry I forgot, magic is enough to help. ”

Giustina smiled, and then she reported a list of items she needed, and the soldier took notes, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it to the two apprentices who were helping in the storeroom to help pick it out and sort it out.

Justina looked around.

At this time, the sun had just come out, but there were already a lot of busy people in the station, and the large-scale transfer in batches required a lot of manpower support, so there was no one in the station who could stay out of the situation.

She noticed that the soldiers had been largely reequipped with the new Wattle ordnance provided by the Emergency Committee, which were significantly lighter than the slightly bulky crystalline guns, which were mainly made of metal and wood, and that on the guard tower, Justina had seen the erected Kalfan heavy machine gun and the light crystallized cannon.

"If we had had possessed these weapons earlier, we wouldn't have had so many deaths, wouldn't we?"

She sighed softly, and this immediately attracted the approval of the soldiers on the side: "You are so right, although I am a Teresan and have no good feelings for the Waterl, I must admit that these guys are really too talented in tinkering with weapons......"

"Have you tried it?"

"Of course, I was in the escort transfer team yesterday, and of course it was the first half...... There was still some 'silt' left in the streets, so we got our chance. ”

The soldier said with a smile on his eyebrows: "Don't look at the fact that the magic materials in these weapons are used less, but there is no shortage of ammunition that they can use, and the rate of fire and accuracy are amazing, and they can clean up a lot of 'mud' in three or two clicks, I now know why our country's army has been retreating!" ”

Mage Giustina is excellent in appearance and temperament, and although she is now missing an arm, she is still an eye-catching presence as long as she stands there.

The soldier was not stupid, he knew very well that he would never have a chance to have a romantic story with a beautiful and powerful mage in his life, but out of the bottom of his heart, and regret for Justina's mutilated body, the soldier was extremely talkative.

"If you want me to say, even today's mages should be equipped with one of these weapons...... I've heard that every mage in the Waters army is now trained to be good with guns, and they have the help of magic, one hit at a time, and the bullets can travel many miles longer than magic flies! ”

"Hearing you say that, it seems like I should have a weapon for myself too?"

Giustina smiled, "What's their name?" Runner...... Blunderbuss? ”

"If that's what you're talking about......"

The soldier patted the weapon pinned to his waist and introduced, "They call this a steam revolver, but it's pretty much the same thing...... Master Giustina, do you need it? ”

Justina looked carefully at the revolver that seemed to be very handy, and then she smiled and nodded, "It does seem useful, can I claim one?" ”

"Absolutely."

The soldier nodded positively: "The hermit of Gene has ordered it before, and the next is our most important moment, and everyone should be prepared...... You wait a moment. ”

With that, the soldier turned around and walked to the weapons warehouse on the other side, and instead of asking the other survivors to help, he entered the warehouse himself.

It wasn't long before he walked back with two cloth bags, which Justina noticed that they also had the insignia of the Law Council pinned to them, which were apparently already ready.

The soldier placed the cloth bag on the table in front of him, and then he carefully explained: "According to the ration set by the hermit of Genet, a mage like you would have been able to have two guns, one long and one short...... But considering that you are not in good health right now, you can only use this, and the bullets are ready. ”

Justina nodded, she raised her right hand, unwrapped the cloth bag, and a new and delicate revolver appeared in front of her, just like the other new Vottel guns, this revolver appeared delicate and stable, much lighter than the traditional old crystallizer, and the magic crystals embedded in it were smaller.

Justina fiddled quickly with her knowledge of the traditional crystallized gun, and with the prompting of the soldier next to her, she quickly understood the specific use of this new firearm.

I have to say that this lightweight weapon is indeed very suitable for her to use when she has lost an arm, that is, the loading of bullets will be more troublesome, but this can be compensated for by the mage's hand and the magic bow and arrow trick.

"How does it feel?"

The soldier asked thoughtfully, "Master Justina, if you need it, you can also go over there and test it, after all, it is a new type of firearm, and it is definitely different from those bulky crystalline guns." ”

"No need."

Justina shook her head slightly, "For me, it's just a spare weapon for a necessary time. ”

"That's what you said."

The soldier smiled slightly awkwardly.

At this time, the apprentices who were previously responsible for counting the experimental materials and materials had also completed their tasks, and now, all the materials needed by Justina had been transferred, and several soldiers and apprentices were carefully sending these things in the direction of the laboratory.

Justina heard her name called out in the distance, and she turned her head to see her friend hurrying towards her.

"The Hermit Gene told me that the experiment was to continue? Are you serious? ”

"Continue, of course."

Giustina's expression didn't change much, she looked at her friend and asked seriously, "We all know that the experiment itself is not a complete failure, on the contrary, it brings an important breakthrough opportunity...... Only by seizing this opportunity can we really solve the problems caused by those monsters. ”

"I trust your judgment, but it doesn't match the plan."

The mage frowned and questioned, but she still trusted her friend's judgment in this regard, so she sighed, "It's strange, how could the hermit of Gene agree to such a proposal that is beyond the scope of the plan?" But now that the proposal has passed, let's hurry. ”

Justina raised an eyebrow: "You're going to participate too?" ”

"Of course, everyone knows that I've been working with you for the longest time in experiments, let's go, time is pressing."

With that, the two of them rushed in the direction of the laboratory one after the other.

Moments later, an orange magic signal symbolizing "Plan changed, experiment continues" flew high into the sky and pulled a thin line beneath the sky.

Once again, he had managed to break through the encirclement of the Descendants of the Abyss and reach the edge of the northern wall, and Shuge looked up, his eyes squinting at the lines of orange magic that were fading into the sunlight, and fell into deep thought.

……

While experiments against the Descendants of the Abyss in Celem were progressing rapidly, Vilene in the Celem Emergency Committee was also making new progress.

After a sleepless and focused work, an extremely important step was taken in the preliminary classification and meaning deduction of those strange symbols.

Maybe it's the good fortune that Schug Ernst brings.

Or perhaps the great Goddess Mel really gave her precious blessings and blessings to her mages.

An ordinary mage apprentice, in the process of comparing the strange patterns displayed by the humanoid spar with the list of symbols given by Wei Lin, actually found extremely similar cases, and it was not a rare case, but several special patterns with strong coherence.

Inspired by this "coincidence", Willin immediately took action to try to engrave these special patterns on the magic paper, and with the infusion of magic, Willin was surprised to find that these patterns could indeed carry the magic power, which meant that they were not meaningless patterns, but some kind of special model that could be recognized and accepted by the magic and magic framework.

With this discovery, Wei Lin's status in the resident laboratory was immediately raised to an unprecedented height, and in order to cooperate with her follow-up research, more manpower was transferred by Finn Butler, at Wei Lin's request, two lake-level scholars who have in-depth research on witchcraft and magic, and have a considerable understanding of lost symbols and words, were temporarily "kidnapped", they were originally quite dissatisfied, but after seeing the results displayed by Wei Lin, they rushed into the laboratory with hunger.

After nearly ten hours of unremitting efforts and repeated verification, Wei Lin and the others finally completed the reversal of these lines through a set of improvised magic models when night was about to fall again.

That is, through the operation of magic and their similarity to the magical words in "Poetry of the Night", she successfully deduced some of the patterns of these humanoid crystals, and after splicing and combining them according to these rules, Wei Lin succeeded in obtaining a short vocabulary.

At the end of the second volume of Poems of the Night, Verine finds their counterparts.

It was what the mad poet wrote after an absurd journey, and what can be regarded as "poetry".

The words that make up the verses are still distorted, similar to the lines revealed on the humanoid hedrons, revealing the madness that characterizes the loss of reason.

"That's the stars, and it's the sun."

"It's falling, it's rising."

"It's going from darkness to darkness."

"From the abyss to the abyss."

"It saw me."

"It said to me."

"It smiled at me."

"I'm coming, you guys run!"

Verin's gaze was fixed on the deeply disturbing sentence at the end of the verse, "I'm coming, you run."

She had carefully studied the second volume of the poem of the night, in which the mad poet Azifu described the story of joining a special "caravan" and traveling through a special "mezzanine".

The so-called mezzanine refers to a special space that Azifu arrived at through the teleportation magic of "Discord Wandering", which is located between reality and dreams, between the past and the future, which is both incomparably illusory and extremely real.

And during that journey, this special caravan he was in accidentally attracted the attention of the "star", it constantly chased the caravan, disturbed the minds of the members, and finally all the members of the caravan scattered and died, only Azifu survived, in fear, he once again used the extremely unstable "disordered wandering", and in a half-asleep coma, the star "spoke" to him this passage.

However, the phrase "you run" reveals a completely different meaning in different contexts.

For the fleeing Azifu, this sentence is undoubtedly some kind of existence that ordinary people can't imagine, and he is ruthlessly wanted for his prey.

For the Emergency Committee, for Verin, and for the entire Vane, this sentence was like some kind of hoarse warning.

"It's in ...... Talk to us? ”

The strange thought crossed Verin's mind, and she urgently summoned the other mages and ordered them to go as fast as possible to the other survivors who had returned from the underground rifts, looking for all the similar coherent lines.

With references, this work proceeded very quickly.

In just a few dozen minutes, she got the result she expected.

Nearly all of the survivors were able to find similar things - some crystalline lines that appeared from the crystals on their bodies, and some of which were terrible wounds on their flesh that had not yet crystallized.

The traces of the two types of exhibits in different environments are identical.

Traces extracted from different individuals and samples also show an absolute convergence.

With this conclusion in mind, Vicion silently returned to the laboratory containing the humanoid crystal, and she silently injected magic into the magic container, and once again, a large number of strange lines emerged from the humanoid crystal.

After that, Wei Lin pursed her lips, pressed her palm against the surface of the alchemy vessel, and then poured her voice inward in the form of magic.

"You're warning us to run?"

"If you can understand me, and you do have control over the patterns, then please give some clear responses......"

Before the "voice" fell, the lines in the humanoid crystals in the container immediately began to flicker.

The next moment, countless warning lines representing "run" were all over the body of the humanoid crystal, they were neatly and orderly, and at the same time, Wei Lin also saw that the mouth hole of the humanoid crystal began to rapidly absorb the alchemy potion in the container, although there was no sound during the whole process, Wei Lin clearly felt that the consciousness that was bound in this cage was shouting hoarsely to herself.

"Run!"

This is what these souls, who retain their consciousness but are no longer able to transmit messages through words and sounds, want to say.
