The dwarves may sound rash and abstract, but in reality, they make some sense.

In fact, in today's Brahma Grace, not all nations, groups, or ethnic groups are full of rigor and etiquette in their means of communication.

In many cases, some seemingly important conclusions or decisions are often reached in an uncanny atmosphere and conversation, which is very common among dwarves, big-eared goblins, etc., not to mention special races such as ogres, negotiating with these guys, and maybe ending up in the iron pot.

Compared to them, this way of communication of the dwarves can already be regarded as very "gentle".

Xiuge looked at the female dwarf Ye Na and asked, "So, you have accepted those two bottles of wine?" ”

"Of course I took it sir, we originally wanted to drink it all, but everyone has been very seasick these days, so ...... We only opened one of the bottles and drank a little. ”

Hearing this, Xiuge immediately set his eyes on the rest of the dwarves, including Badosa, and these guys, including Ye Na, all had the kind of parasite on their bodies: "I guess, it should be a few of you who drank the wine?" ”

Not surprisingly, Badosa and the others nodded slowly.

So, accompanied by Richard and a Legislature mage, the two dwarves quickly took the two bottles of the Duchy of Boult that had been given to them by the Scholar Legel, and as Yena and the other dwarves said, they only opened one of them, and indeed only drank a small amount of it.

After obtaining these key evidence and clues, Xiuge and the others moved to the cabins of the mages of the Law Council, and in order to be precautioned, small magic test tables were set up inside these cabins, which were naturally safer than other cabins.

Naturally, the idlers and others were driven away, but as a representative of the Dwarven Mission, Badosa insisted on staying.

The dwarf had been frightened by the monster he had plucked from his back, and he was now very insecure, and he could only feel a little more at ease when he was around a "professional" like Shugg.

The order of the head of the Judicial Council had been conveyed, and now the sailors and mages on the Windless had succeeded in controlling the Leger Scholar, who was accompanied by only two assistants and a mage apprentice, who were taken directly to the special chamber used to temporarily control the suspect without even having a chance to defend themselves in the face of the heavily armed sailors.

If it had been before, such a decision would have been somewhat alarming, but after the morning riot on the deck, it was somewhat insignificant.

After taking precautions, Schug carefully uncorked the bottle of the Principality of Burt spirits that had been opened, and the peculiar smell of alcohol immediately diffused through the room.

And in the smell of the drink, Xiuge keenly captures a faint sense of familiarity.

As a person who has personally "drunk" the pure "Colour of Life" in a dream shelter, Schug can be convinced that there is indeed a special substance that is highly similar to the "Colour of Life" within these so-called Boult spirits.

However, the "color of life", as a basic force used to compose living beings in ancient creations, should tend to be neutral in its performance without deliberate guidance, that is, its essence is actually a highly condensed pure life force.

Will exposure or ingestion, cause abnormalities in the skin of the body?

Schug doesn't think so.

He would rather believe that Badosa and the others might be "strangled to death" because they came into contact with this rich life force, rather than believe that the pure "color of life" would catalyze this special mutation.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiuge said to the Dharma Council Master on the side, "Has the matter here been notified to Merlin Le?" ”

"Not yet."

The valley-level mage shook his head cautiously, "Ever since we realized that the inside might have been infiltrated by the Black Sun Society, the transmission of magical messages has been tightened and controlled, with the exception of a small number of secret rituals that can directly communicate with important and reliable people, the rest need to be subject to additional scrutiny. ”

Hearing this, Wei Lin interjected and asked, "Is Professor Weka from the Office of Public Magic on this privileged list?" ”

The valley-level mage nodded: "Of course." ”

So Wei Lin turned to look at Xiuge: "I think I can inform Professor Weka about the situation here, he has given us and the Dawn Society enough support in the matter of Salem City, and his attitude is very clear and clear, he is reliable. ”

Shuge nodded slightly, he trusted Wei Lin's judgment, so he spoke: "The current situation is very special, the seriousness of what is happening at the moment has not yet been determined, we can only be as vigilant as possible...... Let Professor Weka know and hope that the Committee can provide us with some additional help or solutions. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the "skin worms" who were still writhing inside the alchemy tank, and seemed to have extremely vigorous energy, and said, "The samples in this laboratory and those two bottles of wine need to be properly preserved...... If I could, I'd like to be able to take two samples and half a bottle of wine, and maybe we'll be able to make some additional discoveries from them. ”

Faced with the request for revision, the Dharma Council teachers had no reason to refuse.

As the whistleblower and handler of the crisis, and the person on the entire Windless who knows the Black Sun Society and those lost creations best, Xiuge did not take all the samples under this circumstance, which is already a very respectful move by the Law Committee.

And this person in charge of the river valley class was equally clever, he directly helped the members of the Dawn Society to adjust the cabin, and moved Xiuge's cabin directly to this special cabin that originally belonged to the Legal Committee, so that the safety and use of these samples were handed over to Xiuge and Dawn Society.

The same handover is the huge responsibility that ordinary mages can hardly bear.

The two sides made these adjustments very tacitly, and then Schug rushed straight to the house arrest cell, where he now really wanted to have a good chat with the "weird" Leger scholar.

……

In the past two days, Xiuge and others have launched a strict investigation and surveillance of this Leger scholar, but the results have exceeded everyone's expectations.

The scholar with a bad track record, who was once the laughing stock of Merlinler and the academic community, has been very honest since he boarded the Windless.

Legel spends most of his time in his room, either reading books, sorting out his findings, or simply resting or tinkering with some specimens of magical creatures that he carries with him.

With the convenience and concealment of the rat colony, Hug meticulously searched the items and documents that Legle was carrying, and the results surprised him.

Legel actually received an invitation from Merlin Lehe.

The main reason for this is that the Commission hopes to expand the detection of ancient creations and unknown dangerous magical creatures in the future, and those offshore waters are one of the most important monitoring areas in these projects.

And because there are not many scholars who specialize in marine magical creatures in the current Vann academic world, Legher, who has made some achievements in this field, has naturally become Merlin Lehe's first choice.

What puzzled Huge even more was Legel's attitude towards academic research.

Despite the suspicions surrounding Leger's body, after round-the-clock surveillance by the will of the Ernst family, Hugh found that the Leger scholar was actually serious about his academic field.

The thick logs of observations and research records are not falsified, and Legle even arranges for his assistants and apprentices to go to the deck every morning, noon, and evening to collect the seawater in the current sea, and these seemingly mundane samples are eventually labeled with various labels.

In these respects, Leger has indeed shown a very good scholarly quality.

This series of discoveries is in great contrast to Xiuge's previous speculation and judgment.

Xiuge originally thought that Legle was most likely a hidden pawn that the Black Sun Society tried to place in the Windless One, and the reason why the Black Sun Scepter could not detect the obvious abnormality was most likely because the Black Sun Society had made some countermeasures to this scepter that fell into Xiuge's hands.

"I think it's very likely that the Black Sun Society didn't have formal contact with Leger at all, which means that this guy probably doesn't know who he's contacting at all...... Or, in Legel's own perception, what he encountered was nothing more than some ordinary interaction or investment. ”

Wei Lin was a little noncommittal: "Seek investment from the Giant Ear Goblin Chamber of Commerce?" There are not many such cases. ”

"There are not many scholars who can be blacklisted so many times in a row in a few years, and it seems normal for a strange person to do something strange."

Shug whispered, "As for customizing the 'submarine' for the dwarves...... Well, it's a diving boat, I don't think it's a big idea, and it may sound bold, but I think it's actually doable. ”

Suddenly, she heard an unfamiliar term from Hugh's mouth, and Wei Lin couldn't help but glance at him, but instead of chasing after the word "submarine", she said, "In other words, what you think happened to Scholar Legel is actually in line with the usual methods used by the Black Sun Society?" ”

"It's not certain yet."

Xiuge shook his head: "If they just want to use this method to conceal the perception of the Black Sun Scepter, it is still somewhat child's play, knowing that I can accurately find the traces of those ancient creations, I am afraid that similar plans will not work at all, and they can only lose their own arrangements and hole cards." ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already followed the mage of the Judicial Committee to the door of the house arrest room.

These compartments are set up in extremely secluded locations, similar to those found on many large ships, and when not used to hold suspects, they may also be used for the smuggling of special cargo, or to protect certain people from smuggling.

The cabin was guarded by the sailors of the Windless, and when the hatch opened, Shug and the others saw a figure huddled in a dimly lit corner.

This middle-aged man with messy hair, puffy face, and dark circles under his eyes is Legher.

At Shogo's request, his assistants and apprentices were placed separately, and they were also on Shoge's list of key suspicions, and it was absolutely impossible for them to see each other until the suspicions were cleared.

Because of the special function of the cabin, the walls, floors and even the roof are wrapped with extremely soft thick felt, and there is no sharp bulge in the room to the naked eye, which can ensure the personal safety of the person under house arrest to the greatest extent.

Two illuminated balls of light slowly rose, and a bright light descended on the cramped and dark interior of the chamber.

Legle looked particularly embarrassed by the magical light, he was probably resting when he was brought here, so he didn't wash up, and until now he was still wearing pajamas, and Xiug could even see the filth in the corners of the guy's eyes.

What makes Legel's image even more unbearable is a silver choker that is directly attached to his neck, which makes him look more like a prisoner in prison.

And it's the kind that will be dragged out and executed by a sword-wielding hermit in the next second.

"It's finally here! What the hell is going on? I need a detailed explanation! ”

"Calm down, Scholar Leger."

Xiug took a step forward, and the mage's hand flew out, holding the excited Legel directly, and then he snapped his fingers lightly, and the magic instantly built a table and chair that could be used.

At this time, Leger also recognized the faces of Hug and Verin, and he glared in surprise, perhaps because of the presence of young women, he instinctively wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers to wipe away the dirty marks, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve to wipe away the white foam he had just squirted.

Hug carefully observed Legel's every move, and his powerful and delicate magical perception could even accurately monitor his breathing and heartbeat.

Once Legle was seated, Hug beckoned outside, and a waiter walked in and brought him a cup of clean water and a clean face towel soaked in hot water.

"Mr. Ernst, there are ...... Ms. Ernst? Why the two of you? ”

"You recognize us?"

"No kidding, even the fish on our route recognize the names of the two of them!"

After wiping his face with a hot towel, Legher finally regained some of his demeanor as a scholar, and he held the towel and said puzzledly: "You two have come here suddenly, and they look ...... Is it because of my business? ”

"Of course."

Xiuge nodded, he looked at the somewhat ugly-looking scholar in front of him, his originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy, and even his gentle voice seemed to be dyed with the temperature of wind and snow.

"Scholar Leger, you're in for a big deal."

Leger was taken aback by Sug's terrifying tone: "Shish...... What? ”

So Shug continued: "If nothing else, you will have to spend the rest of your journey here...... The reason is that you are suspected of murdering a diplomat, which means that when you arrive in Merlinle, you will not be required to attend a meeting of the Judicial Commission, but a trial against you. ”
