Chapter 307: Devouring and Growing
Even though the Dharma Council teachers had all sorts of shortcomings, and were always unpopular in all parts of the world, they were now very pleasing to the eyes of Shuge.
Merlin Lehe had apparently given some orders to these mages.
The phrases used by the mages to greet each other show that they were well aware of the practical significance behind the visit of Shuge and others.
The arrival of Shug did not represent him, nor the Ernst family, nor the Kingdom of Waterl...... He represents a large and emerging society, a large organization that is very different from what the inhabitants of Van En perceive.
For the pins and needles of Merlinle and the mages, the existence of the Dawn Society is of great significance.
As an organization of astonishing size, and already clearly standing in opposition to the Black Sun Society, the Dawn Society is now like a banner erected in the midst of Van Grace.
Although Merlinle and his knowledge of the Dawn Society is still very limited, as the primary target of the Black Sun Society, they desperately want the Dawn Society to gain a foothold in the Van's grace.
Even if in the future, the Dawn Society will play a limited role in the head-on confrontation with the Black Sun Society, Merlin Le He hopes to use this to set a new standard for the entire Vann, that is, the Law Committee is willing to cooperate deeply with any organization or country that can actively oppose the Black Sun Society, and even give them support at various levels.
Xiuge had expected this kind of thing for a long time, and these mages in front of him also knew about it.
As for what the pot-bellied local official who was in charge of leading the way was thinking, it wasn't something Xiuge wanted to care about.
However, in order to ensure that the activities of the Dawn Society in this area could go more smoothly, Xiuge still made some arrangements and responses, and before leaving with the mage of the Dharma, he grabbed the extremely embarrassed local official and introduced him to a member of the Dawn Society.
"Sir, I can't represent any organization other than the Dawn Society on this trip, if Cyanobacteria Harbor or anyone else is willing to become friends and cooperate with the Dawn Society, of course we are welcome, but if it is only for me personally or the family behind me, then there is no need."
"As you can see, the Dawn Society is preparing to engage in some in-depth exchanges with Merlinle, and this is a public signal...... If you can't explain my affairs to others, you might as well remind them with the Dawn Society's reminders...... I think this will help you solve a lot of problems. ”
The Dawn Society, a former senior clerk in a city government and a merchant group, was very good at what Shuge said, so he pacified the official in a few moments, and the two of them rushed together towards the so-called "meeting place".
According to the Dharma Council, all the important passengers who needed to board the "Windless" had arrived, and the ships in charge of escorting the ship were ready to depart, and as soon as Xiuge and the others boarded the ship, it would depart on time and sail north along the route east of the Plain of the Goddess.
So Xiuge and the others quickly rushed towards the port and wharf with the team of the legal committee.
After boarding the vehicle prepared by the Dharma, there was no obstacle along the way, but in ten minutes, everyone had already arrived at the large wharf of Cyanoza Harbor, and at about half past three in the afternoon, Xiuge and the others finally successfully boarded the "Windless One" under the guidance of the Legalist Master.
The "Windless" is actually an old-fashioned cruise ship, and its mission this time is not the same as in the past, so the Judicial Committee and the Duchy of Boult have specially made some special modifications on this cruise ship, walking in the corridor of the cruise ship, Xiuge and Verin can feel those magic secrets that are running steadily.
As the mages who led the way had said, the vast majority of the passengers had already boarded the ship, and these people were basically important people from all walks of life who had been invited by Merlinle and to go to the north.
In the corridor of the Windless, many people recognized Shuge and took the initiative to say hello, but the passengers all noticed that the young nobleman in front of him, who had become a legend of Vann, was very polite, but his face was rather pale......
Some of them instinctively moved their gaze to Wei Lin, who was walking aside, and then showed a strange look of "I see".
Xiuge was very helpless about the conjectures of some unscrupulous people, but now he didn't have the heart to remind and clarify, because now, the harsh confrontation that took place in his spiritual world was nearing the end, and the metal disc seemed to be facing a special change.
In the face of this unprecedented change, Xiuge did not dare to slack off, and after entering the cabin of his own, he directly put down the few pieces of luggage he was carrying, and then sat down directly on the bed and closed his eyes.
After seeing Xiuge's behavior, Wei Lin couldn't help frowning, she didn't leave, but quickly set up a multi-layered protective ritual in Xiuge's cabin, and took the aromatherapy burner to ignite the magic spice that can stabilize the mental state.
After completing these preparations, Wei Lin directly locked the cabin, and sat on a chair not far from Xiuge, observing Xiuge's state while slowly flipping through the books she carried with her.
At this time, all of Xiuge's attention had been concentrated on his own spiritual world.
The speed of the metal disc is rising at a steady rate, and it is the grooves that are connected by the forces of the abyss that cause this change.
Shug saw that a large number of mechanical structures on the metal disc were rapidly reorganizing due to the turbulence coming from the two grooves, and a trench that had never appeared before was slowly forming between the two grooves.
And in the "battlefield" inside the groove, the abyssal clams and court hounds involved in this deathmatch have also reached their limits.
Now the court hound's body has been reduced by two full circles at the beginning, and most of the dark red pupils on its narrow head have lost their brilliance, and several huge holes have appeared in the body without exact outline.
As a latecomer, the abyssal chelica spider is even more tragic, its originally symmetrical steps have now been broken off three, and the metal-like torso is covered with terrifying scars of different sizes and shades, and the sharp chelicerae that grow in front have been torn off part of it, judging from the notch marks, it is very likely that it was caused by the court hound with its special ability.
The two sides in the standoff still looked evenly matched, but Shug knew that the battle was coming to an end.
As the owner of the metal disc, he could clearly feel the decay of the Dao Abyss Spider at this moment—the power of the Abyss in its body was constantly draining, and the recovery from its physical injuries had completely stopped.
It seems that even in this strange battlefield, the hound, as the most conscientious patrolman and hunter in the Abyss Court, is still strictly carrying out its "mission", and the chelica spider that is the "target of purging" in the Abyss has not been able to subvert its fate here.
Instead of sending a distress signal to its master, the Abyssal Spider seemed to have accepted its defeat, staggering to launch a final attack in the face of the hounds that were still repairing its damage, but this sluggish attack was doomed to be meaningless.
In the face of the dying prey, the hound once again showed its strange attack skills, in the foggy battlefield, its body instantly dissipated, after successfully avoiding the bite of the abyssal chelicer, it burrowed out of its unguardable dead end, curled tentacles accompanied by sharp fangs gnawed on the chelice's body, the only remaining trace of strength burst out, turning the chelice's hard body into nothingness.
Subsequently, the brutal devouring began.
Shuge clearly sensed the demise of the Abyssal Spider, but it was only the will and body of the Abyss Beast that had disappeared, and the power that had belonged to it was now being absorbed by the court hounds in the form of mist.
The mirror messenger that had been cowering in the room let out a silent cheer, and then it cheerfully opened the door and came to the court hound through the mist connecting the grooves.
The time for change has arrived.
As the court hound gnawed at the body of the Abyssal Crab little by little, its broken form began to gradually regain its wholeness, and the mirror messenger stood still beside it, and it gently raised its hands, and between its fingers a strange instrument like a flute appeared.
The Mirror Messenger began his own playing.
In the turmoil of the mist, an extremely strange sound came into Xiuge's mind.
It didn't seem like some kind of melody, but like the murmur of some kind of creature, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, it seemed to be some kind of language, but when you listen closely, it feels like a meaningless whisper......
This strange playing, however, seems to have brought great benefit to the court hounds.
The process of devouring began to speed up, and the fog that had been sealed in the rest of the grooves was also mobilized, so that all the spaces related to the Abyss Court were connected at this moment, and the surface of the metal disc, the huge gully used to connect the grooves, was also completely finalized, it was like a stable canal, ensuring the connection between the two different bodies of water.
"Roaring ......"
A roar came from the depths of the mist, and Shug clearly captured the mood in the roar—light, happy, and satisfying like never before.
So in Xiuge's sight, an unfamiliar new pattern began to slowly form.
The pattern that was originally used to identify the court hound began to gradually expand, and the strange wolf beast motif that was originally lying on the ground stood up and changed to a crouching position.
It grew stronger, its head raised and looked upwards, several large fangs extending from its mouth, its mist-enveloped body rapidly expanding, and a long, narrow, spiky wolf tail extending from the back of its body, not only that, but also seemed to have that dark red pupil growing on it.
It seems that the hound, which was originally an ordinary member of the palace wolf pack, has now been "promoted" accordingly because of the successful hunt.
But the change doesn't end there.
With a series of slight sounds, Xiuge was surprised to see that the back of the court hound suddenly exploded, and then, several thick mist grew out, and in an instant, several additional steps were formed,
These steps looked exactly like the Abyssal Spider.
The change has finally stopped.
The agitation in Xiuge's head also stopped, and the speed of the metal disc returned to its original state, except that above the huge disk, a few more conspicuous furrows appeared, through which countless mist forces were constantly flowing, and the mechanical mechanisms associated with them would make sounds similar to the "music" played by the messenger in the mirror.
It seems that the creators belonging to the Abyss Court have consolidated their "position" in the metal disc through this series of actions.
Xiuge didn't care much about that.
What he cares about is the concrete benefits that this change can bring to him.
Shug opened his eyes and reached out to roll up his sleeve, and then he saw that the wolf tooth tattoo that had wrapped around his wrist had also changed.
The thin threads that used to connect the wolf's tooth pattern have now taken on a different form.
The thick black mist turned into a knotted rope under the regularity of a certain force, and the surface of the original wolf tooth was attached to a layer of deep metallic brilliance, which looked somewhat similar to the huge chelicerae of the Abyss Spider.
"Looks like you've got something new?"
Vilin's voice came from the side, and Xiuge realized that the female mage had been sitting quietly not far away, the incense burner was constantly emitting a reassuring scent, and she was holding an academic book, and her curious gaze fell on her face through the lenses of her glasses.
So Xiuge nodded, and then he shook his wrist lightly in front of Wei Lin, and in the flicker of magical light, a cold touch appeared in Xiuge's palm.
He was surprised to find that the original "Hound Tooth" had now been completely removed from the "revolver" style, and the revolver used to fill the wolf's tooth bullet had completely disappeared, which made it look more imaginary than the automatic or semi-automatic pistol in another world in Xiuge's impression.
Shug gently rubbed the crystalline blade of the Hound Fang, and then he noticed that several faint lines of magic were extending from the magic weapon, and they flowed like veins through his fingers, palms, and finally connected to the strange tattoo on his wrist.
Shug put his finger on the bolt, of course he wouldn't be experimenting inside the cabin, but with his action, a lot of information about the court hounds immediately became apparent.
"The hounds of the court roam the courtyards, tracking never cease, and the hunt never ends...... This is the boundless hunting ground for you, praise the great invisible wolf! ”
And after this original sentence, more strange words appeared.
"Biting, devouring, endlessly growing."
"Eternal hunting can create the head wolf of the abyss."
