It's another day of running around in the city of Seren.

However, the kind of situation that Xiuge feared most did not happen.

He had been fearing that the Descendants of the Abyss would abandon their stubborn bones and attack other locations in the city in search of the other survivors in the city, but they proved to be extremely determined in their pursuit of him.

Based on the information detected by the magical rat swarm, as well as Xiuge's own perception of magical power, he could basically confirm that the huge race of the Descendants of the Abyss and the terrifying subject that already possessed amazing intelligence had been closely following in the footsteps of the Running Rats, and because Xiuge was always able to cover up his magical traces at the right time, they showed sufficient hostility to all possible hiding places in their path.

Before sunset, he had seen the surging black slime rush into a crumbling three-story building, and search all the corners of it, even the trash cans and abandoned vehicles that had been dumped next to the building.

Shuge believed that with the current wisdom of the Descendants of the Abyss, they would definitely know that there was no one hiding in such a place, and yet they still did not let go of any of the details.

This manifestation appears to be both distorted and pathological.

There is even a bit of the madness that human beings have in desperate moments.

In the limited number of head-on clashes and hunts, Xiuge grabbed an unusually clear emotion from the children who were killed and captured by himself.

That's fear.

Very clear and very vivid fear.

Just as the survivors of Salem were confronted with the overwhelming "tide of death" in the streets, the children of the Abyss, whom the survivors saw as a great threat, are now terrified by a vague and abstract existence.

That's the fundamental reason why they want to hunt down Xiuge no matter what.

"It seems that in the eyes of these guys, only by finding me, and devouring and merging everything that belongs to me, can they really find a safe way out...... It was strange that the rise of the Black Sun should be absolutely advantageous to these crippled creations whose power originated from the Abyssal Court, and why should they be terrified by this? ”

This strange question had plagued Xiuge for a whole day, and he had carefully observed the Descendants of the Abyss for a whole day, but it was only after nightfall that he found a new hiding place and was ready to recuperate, that he realized that it was not only the Descendants of the Darkness who had caused a similar situation.

The "occupants" who live in their own metal discs seem to have undergone some subtle changes now.

The most intense reaction is the Running Rat, which is extremely active during this time.

It spends a lot of time in the outside world, has a high frequency of contact with the magic of the environment, and needs to swallow a large amount of abyss essence to fill its own power, even if Snicky is a member of the Mother Earth Goddess, he is also extremely uneasy about the changes that have occurred in the surrounding environment.

As he finished camouflage and protection of his hideout, and was about to soothe his spirits, the Rat Run, who had just returned to the metal disc, immediately sent him a series of rather chaotic messages.

Although it is very intelligent and very good at learning languages, it is clear that what it wants to describe is now seriously beyond its own ability, and in the mess of information transmitted by Snicky, Hug has even seen a lot of Wattle's highland vulgar slang, and it is not necessary to think about it to know that these things can only be learned from some old people who are not serious, but judging from these words that can express unease, disgust, and panic, Snicky can be said to be both confused and frightened by the outside world.

In desperation, Xiuge had no choice but to turn to the will of the family, which was closely related to the Running Rat.

With the help of these professional "translators", Schug finally got a general idea of what Snicky felt.

These days, it has been feeling an inexplicable panic, and the source of this panic lies in its connection with the "Mother Earth Goddess", in the words of the big mouse itself, that is, it can not always feel the blessing given by the "Mother Goddess", and at some moments, it will even mistakenly think that the "Mother Goddess" has disappeared or completely left, because as a dependent of the "Mother Goddess", it will not be aware of the existence of its own gods at all!

Although Shug had never understood how the ancient creations he had now were connected to the gods they believed in, or the form in which those ancient lost gods existed, judging from Snikki's reaction, the magic tremors in the Van environment were enough to have a certain effect on them as magical creatures.

With this idea in mind, Xiuge immediately verified it with other creations such as the Mirror Emissary.

So he found that the Mirror Messenger and the Court Hound were now a little anxious, the Mirror Messenger was always pacing back and forth in his "study", and his body outline was always turbulent, and the Abyss Hound who had cleaned up all the enemies for the Abyss Court was now constantly transmitting to Xiuge his desire to hunt prey, but it had no way to give a clear answer to what exactly was the prey and where the prey was.

In contrast, the Touch of Calon and the Roots of Destiny are in two completely different wonderful states.

When Shug asked the Touch of Calon, who had been with them for the longest time, they said that they could also feel the magic moves, but they did not feel uncomfortable or nervous about it, as if the ancient sea god did not exist.

As the fate of those who have a high degree of intelligence and can form a stable society based on ethnic groups, they are extremely indifferent.

The leader of the roots, who spoke as a representative, said: "Master, we do feel the tremor of confusion and despair...... It's wonderful, and it's exactly the omen that the god of fate has left in us, so we won't be alarmed, we will only look forward to it. ”

"You mean, your god of fate told you all about it a long time ago?"

"It's not the kind of 'telling' you understand...... The portents and revelations left behind by the god of fate will only manifest when necessary, and as followers of the supreme destiny, we will naturally accept all of this. ”

In this regard, Xiuge expressed his doubts: "But I remember you mentioned before, it is just a direction. ”

"Yes."

Shug frowned in the darkness: "Then if your gods reveal to you the demise of the race, you will accept it too?" ”

"The continuation of the race depends on the revelation of the supreme fate, and if fate requires us to perish, then we will follow it as well."

When the Root Beard utters these words, it even mimics the fervent tone of the believers in the Brahma as they pray to their gods, and it is clear that their attitude towards fate is in some way in line with this, and only goes more insane.

"Can you, then, tell me what your gods have revealed?"

"Master, please give me some time."

Hearing this, the clan leader immediately humbly said, "The revelation given to us by the god of fate is not complete, and each individual in the clan has received a different one...... Well, the meeting? According to human perception, this should be the case. ”

Immediately after receiving Shuge's permission, the leader of the Rootbeard immediately returned to the "waterhole" where the tribe had settled, and then all the individuals emerged from below the calm waterhole, and they began to swing in a unique rhythm, their minds and spirits connected to each other, and began what they called "meetings".

Taking advantage of the time for the Roots of Fate to "meet", Xiuge withdrew from his spiritual world, looked around, and then slowly walked to the window.

After a day of continuous running, Shug first arrived in the northern city wall area at noon, he originally wanted to use the northern wall and stronghold of the city of Seren as a basis for a period of tug-of-war with the children of the abyss, but it turned out that such an idea was not feasible.

If the southern part of the city of Salem can be described as "dilapidated", the northern part of the city, which was once a thriving business district, can now only be described as "ruins".

There is no way that any survivor can survive in such a place, as the area has become a nest for the children of the Abyss.

And it was only after Xiuge came to the northern city wall that he finally understood the specific purpose of the Dharma Council mages who had gone here desperately.

The mages also noticed the distribution of the Descendants of the Abyss in Seren, and they succeeded in deducing the location of the nests of these monsters, so they wanted to use the last of the magical materials and alchemy bombs they had squeezed out to strike at them.

Naturally, the results go without saying.

They underestimated the number of the Descendants of the Abyss, so when they arrived in the northern city wall, they fell into the predatory encirclement of the Descendants of the Abyss, and after their magic power was exhausted, these brave and fearless men issued a silver warning in despair, and used the last bit of magic pages and alchemy bombs they carried with them to die with a considerable number of the Heirs.

Now, with his magical vision, Shog could still see a small square in the middle of the street in the distance.

He had forgotten what the square was called, all he remembered was that in the center of the square there was a statue of a knight, but this figure had now been burned black, and as he passed by the square, he saw two corpses under the sculpture that had also been burned by the flames of magic, and could no longer distinguish between their form and appearance.

They seemed to hug each other, and because they had lost all their life force, the Descendants of the Abyss did not touch them, leaving the two dead in their place.

And this is the end of those warriors.

For thousands of years, Merlin Le and Harmony have been a gathering place for the entire Vann magical power, resources, and talents, and although in the eyes of many ordinary people, the Law Council has long become a corrupt elite organization, but in fact, no matter what the Law Council has become, there are still many members with excellent qualities within it.

Wise, sensitive, courageous......

Of course, there is also the decisiveness to make corresponding judgments and choices at critical moments.

"Child, are you feeling ...... Do you regret it? ”

While Shuge quietly looked at the night in the distance, Alexandra's voice suddenly came from within, and the delicate countess could always detect the faintest emotional changes in Shuge's heart.

Xiuge was slightly stunned: "Regret? What do you mean? ”

"Of course, it's the female mage from the Judicial Council."

Countess Alexandra whispered, "Although you have not discussed anything with us, I have noticed that you pay extra attention to her. ”

"Mage Justina is very attractive, it's normal for me to pay more attention, right?"

Then the countess laughed: "Son, you should wait until you leave the city of Salem to say this to the two young ladies you know, and not use it as an excuse...... You can't hide it from me in this regard. ”

The lie was exposed, but Xiuge was not embarrassed, he smiled in the dark, and responded: "I can't talk about regret, but I will be a little apprehensive." ”

After a pause, he continued, "I hate the feeling of making a decision, I have foreseen some so-called 'tragedy' happening, but I still need to do it in order to achieve the ultimate goal and ensure the survival of more people. ”

"I guess, you've already informed the others of what the female mage might do?"

"Yes, I've already made arrangements."

Xiuge sighed softly, "Her state is very wrong, if I guess correctly, the magic that the Black Sun Association used on her has already caused some very serious effects on her...... If I'm not mistaken, then Giustina is in fact very similar to the 'special individual' born in the experiment, and even more complete herself, or rather, she herself is the most desirable result of the experiment. ”

After saying this, Hug leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and completely merged with the darkness.

Being able to say these words made his heart feel a little better.

After a few breaths of relief, Hug continued, "I told Giende Hermit about Giustina, and made some arrangements for what she might do, and the magic signal that appeared in the air this morning proved my judgment, and she was really ready to make some attempts. ”

The countess sighed softly, and then she said, "In the past, all those in power in the family had to take this step, child, this kind of thing is always unavoidable...... But I'm curious, since you think she's a potential risk, why don't you just erase it? ”

"A bastard told me before that 'fate' and 'script' are two different things."

Xiuge opened his eyes: "I think so. ”
