Chapter 287: Mooring

"Let's do our best."

When the chaotic existence in front of him said such a sentence, Xiuge's mood inevitably became a little complicated.

Judging from the last few exchanges, Theseus's attitude towards himself has indeed undergone some surprising changes, and the position of the so-called "faceless god" has become clearer, but this change is different from the initial impression of Theseus by Theseus.

To put it simply, when a guy who does everything as if he is "having fun" starts to really talk and do things seriously, he can't gain the trust of others in the first place.

Any words of encouragement that pop out of Theseus's mouth will always be judged by Hug as sarcasm or yin and yang at the first time.

As the true owner of the dream shelter, Xiuge's emotions and thoughts at this time did not escape Theseus's perception, so she laughed strangely and asked, "Why, you seem to want to hear something else from me?" Or would you be more comfortable if I just spoke up and ridiculed you? Do you have a habit of this, I can satisfy you. ”

"Of course not."

Seeing that Xiu Ge sternly rejected his "good intentions", Theseus let out a disdainful "sneer": "In that case, what are you still doing here?" The Dream Shelter doesn't include room and board, right? ”

Shug didn't move, he looked at Theseus quietly, and after a while, he asked, "I want to know more about 'that leader', do you have any suggestions for this?" ”

Hearing this, Theseus' chaotic countenance twitched slightly, and then she said in a slightly playful tone, "How else can you understand?" Vann is full of legends related to her, why don't you just read more? ”

"You said it, those are legends."

"Legends don't have to be fake...... At least for Vann, she did do a lot of things that could only appear in legends in the eyes of ordinary people. ”

This is not the first time that Theseus has given such a high evaluation to the goddess Mel, and such a performance makes Xiuge's heart even more curious.

So he asked, "What did you do with your own eyes?" ”

"Perhaps."

Seeing that Theseus did not deny it, Xiuge hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask: "So, after the dream I saw, you managed to gain her trust?" You and her...... What kind of relationship is it? ”

"Don't you think you're asking a little too much?"

After saying this, Theseus paused for a few seconds as if caught in some distant memory, but in the end, the chaotic god still did not answer Hugh's question, she raised her hand and pointed to the door that communicated the sanctuary and reality: "Don't force me to kick you out myself like I did the first time, go away." ”

Her voice sounded cold, but there wasn't much anger in her tone.

Seeing Theseus put on this familiar Riddler appearance again, Xiuge could only shake his head helplessly, but just as he got up to leave, another sentence came from behind him.

"According to your concept, perhaps, I should call her 'Mentor'."

Xiuge turned around in surprise, but saw that the chair behind him was shaking gently, but the figure sitting on it before had disappeared.

……

The Aurora was quietly moored in the harbor of the Duchy of Boult.

Although it is old, it is still a formidable large warship after a lot of modification and refurbishment.

Traditionally, such a large warship would never have had the opportunity to anchor in a principality's harbor for a long time, but now, in the ever-expanding gloom of the sky, the concepts of "convention" and "rule" are gradually beginning to move away from people's perception.

The soldiers stationed near the Aurora were noticeably calmer and more composed than the slightly terrified inhabitants of the port town.

Most of the soldiers had blond or brown hair and blue eyes - they were all from St. Steele, or rather, members of the Foreign Miners' Legion.

As a marginal part of the former Wattle army system, the detachment of the Mineers Legion did not have much impact on the Waters people.

For the officials and professional soldiers of the Wattle Kingdom, this army of St. Steele miners was actually more of a tool used to prove the status and glory of the Wattle soldiers to the people.

Under normal circumstances, the role of the miners was so limited that important tasks could not be entrusted to them, and in order to ensure that the Saint-Stihl people who could not return to the country could stay in peace, the Wattle military also needed to pay a regular fee, which was not too high compared to the regular troops, but the expenditure was the expenditure, and this could not be changed.

And now, with the royal family of Saint-Steele fully surrendering to the Black Sun Society and its beliefs, this already special foreign legion is even more embarrassing.

In some newspapers that are good at chasing after the wind, articles have even appeared discussing these topics.

However, the appearance of the Dawn Society solved this thorny problem for the worried Wattle military.

As a close friend of Frey Mayer and one of the founders of the Dawn Society, Darswell knocked on the door of the Waters government with long-awaited funding and a letter signed by a number of important people, and the Dawn Society's public statement and their willingness to rescue the refugees in Salem at all costs dispelled the last of their doubts.

For the Waterl, handing over this embarrassing Foreign Legion would reduce a source of instability in the country and win the goodwill of the Dawn Society, who were not optimistic about the "rebels from Saint-Steele", but were more than happy to see someone test the strength and details of the Black Sun Society on their behalf.

Shuge leaned against the window, quietly looked at the busy soldiers for a moment, and then sighed: "They even wear military uniforms now, they are wearing Waterl style, right?" ”

"Of course, after all, time is tight...... We're just going to have to keep them dressed and used to it, and we're going to get rid of the miners' insignia. ”

Meyer's voice came from the other end of the cabin, he stopped his pen, tilted his head and replied: "Don't worry, our own emblems, flags, and military uniforms are all in preparation, and they will be implemented soon, and the new weapons and equipment will be the same." ”

"It's huge."

Hearing this, Shuge laughed, he gently moved his slightly weak arm, and then said, "When I was trapped in the city, I didn't expect you to be able to do this...... The last time I escaped from the city of Seren, I woke up and felt like the world had changed. ”

"The world is changing every day."

Meyer stood up, and he came to Shug's side and sat down at the foot of the bed where Shug was resting.

He looked at Xiuge's face seriously, and saw that his spirit seemed to have finally recovered, so he nodded reassuringly: "I can assure you, my friend, that you will definitely not return to Seren City in the future." ”

"It's gone, isn't it?"

"Almost, half of the city has been swallowed up by the cracks, and now it's a terrible forbidden place, and no one will want to get close to it."

As he spoke, Meyer took out a thick notebook from a nearby cabinet, and Hug saw that the pages of the notebook were clearly sandwiched between many clipped pages of newspapers and magazines.

Meyer flipped it lightly twice, and then put the notebook on Xiuge's lap: "I heard Miss Weilin say, you have a habit of reading newspapers, so I asked people to sort out the important news of these days, and all the important things have been recorded, although it seems to be more laborious, but you are a mage, this kind of thing should not be difficult, right?" ”

Xiuge nodded and took the notebook.

Wei Lin was not here at this time, she was supposed to be helping the Dawn Goddess check the protective secret device damaged by the magic movement, but since Shug woke up, he found that Wei Lin's traces had completely penetrated his body.

Demonic water in the water cup, healing rituals to replenish the body's vitality, a new magic book, two Merlin Le and Mage textbooks related to high-level magic......

Even the fountain pen that goes with the magic book seems familiar.

For this subtle change, Xiuge chose to accept it calmly, which was a natural reaction to the extreme.

Ever since he saw the ice-blue magic signals that pierced the sky in the flames of Salem, some thoughts had been set in his mind.

Meyer's gaze swept over the objects, and then the incomparably clever scholar laughed, and he spoke, "Mr. Schugg, if you're all right, why don't you go out for a walk with me?" There are quite a few people in the Dawn Society who want to get to know you, especially Darthwell. ”

Seeing Shug looking over, Meyer shrugged his shoulders and explained, "You may not know that Miss Verin was on her way to bring you here, and she was once confronted by a spy sent by the Wattel royal family and the Ernst family. ”

Meyer paused, then continued: "They came on a mission, and there are some people who want them to bring you back to Bolden, even by force. ”

Xiuge looked down at his body, "But I'm still here." ”

"Miss Verin has handed over a royal medal of Walter, hehe, the kind of contract that is said to honor important conditions to the royal family."

Meyer patted his thigh: "Darswell has a big opinion on this matter, he thinks that this important resource should not be wasted on this matter, maybe it would be more ...... to clean up those spies directly"

Mayer thought about it carefully, and finally found the right adjective: "Good deal?" ”

Then, Meyer shook his head: "But this is just Dustwell's personal opinion, he is like that, he will be more radical in some ways......"

"Don't worry, Professor, I can understand."

Shuge replied calmly, "Someone like Mr. Darswell is actually very important, especially for an organization like the Dawn Society, without him, the Dawn Society will probably have a bit of a tricky time dealing with certain things. ”

"It's true, you can understand, it's really good."

Speaking of this, Xiuge suddenly asked, "By the way, what happened to those who successfully withdrew from the city of Selen?" ”

Hearing this, Meyer turned his head and replied, "The city of Salem no longer exists, and the towns and villages around it have also become dead, except for a few who are ready to take refuge with relatives and friends, the remaining people are destined to become outcasts. ”

"How many of these survivors should be the Deranas? Isn't the kingdom of Teresa ready to accept them? ”

"There are plans, but this is a special time."

Mayer raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the sky: "The kingdom of Delan has also given up many villages and towns because of this mutation, and they must now concentrate on completing the settlement of these people, although the residents of Salem City are relatively close, they will definitely let go a little." ”

Mayer's tone was a little heavy: "They have just escaped from a place like Salem City, which is full of monsters, and their hearts are full of resentment towards the other big countries around them that are 'dead or saved' and the Black Sun Society, which makes them even hotter...... Hehe, you understand, as a matter of course. ”

"Good one, of course."

Xiuge stretched out his hand to pick up the water glass, he took a sip of the demonic water with a cold touch in it, and then asked, "But I think the Dawn Society should also have some arrangements for these refugees, right?" Just rescuing and transporting without regard for the aftermath is probably not in the style of teaching you and your friends. ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Meyer's face, but he didn't answer directly, but asked, "I want to know more, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Shuge put down the water glass, and the mage's hand reached out and took the thick notebook, and as the newspaper caught in it flew up, a large amount of information entered his mind through Xiuge's perception.

After a few moments, he put the papers back together and asked, "The Dawn Society should be a declaration of war against the Black Sun Society now, right?" In that case, you should be thinking about the establishment of a place to settle down and a base...... The sheer number of refugees who have lost their homes, and the fact that they contain many sturdy soldiers, will be very helpful in the current phase of the Dawn Society's mission. ”

"Yes, we're doing this work, and there are quite a few good people among these refugees who have decided to join us."

"Excellent people? Like what? ”

"Miss Verin recommended someone to me, and she said that this person must be on your recommendation list as well."

Meyer grinned, "His name is Felix, a very nice young man, smart, capable, and bold enough, Darthwell has been chatting with him very happily these days, well, they're on the docks!" ”
