Chapter 333: Calm Waves
With a slight sound, the curtain of the cabin was opened.
Steaming slowly from the jug on the table fills the cabin.
After all the way, the fleet of the Windless has successfully docked at the port, where the fleet will replenish supplies and personnel, and there will also be special legal committee craftsmen to carry out emergency maintenance and inspection of the ship.
There were many departing fishing boats and cargo ships in the nearby sea, and a very familiar pattern could be seen on these boats.
It was irises, but they were not exactly the same as the logo of the Kingdom of Deres - their color was neither purple nor pale blue, but a special kind of black.
This logo belongs to the Duchy of Prair.
The Duchy of Prahr is still quite famous in Vann, but its fame lies entirely in its presence and influence.
On the Plains of the Goddesses, there are too few cases that can be as non-existent as the Duchy of Praar, which has almost zero military power, and only a very small number of troops within the Duchy for maintaining law and order and stability.
In terms of political stance and choices, the Duchy of Prar is heavily dependent on the Kingdom of Teresa, to put it mildly, it can almost exist as a seaside town of the Kingdom of Teresa, and the biggest reason why this small duchy has always existed is because the Kingdom of Teresa respects the Grand Duke of Prar more, and is willing to use this to show the close relationship between the nobles of the plains.
Stopping at such a place temporarily, Xiuge really didn't have the idea of going down to hang out, and so did Weilin.
So, the two tacitly stayed on the Windless, and they were going to spend all this short half day on research affairs and subsequent planning.
"Your previous judgment was basically correct, and your guesses about the plan that the professor might take were accurate."
Wei Lin lifted her gaze from the magic letter in her hand, she shook the paper in her hand, and her mouth inadvertently deflated, "Felix, they did use what you said...... Well, violent means, and it looks very violent. ”
Xiuge, who was sitting on the side, writing and drawing in front of his notebook, raised his head: "Very violent? Let's be specific. ”
"Not only did he invoke the newly established Sword of Dawn, but he also requested a group of professional soldiers and vehicles from Darthwell, and after receiving the information from us, they rushed to Cyanobacteria Harbor as soon as possible...... It mentions that the soldiers are all heavily armed, and in the end they not only used alchemy bombs, but even those new firearms, and now, the Goblin Chamber of Commerce in Cyanobacteria Harbor should no longer exist. ”
"The decision to be expected."
Picking up the jug and pouring the brewed refreshing drink into Vilin's empty glass, he explained, "In a long confrontation and struggle, it is very important to open a breakthrough, especially in the moment. ”
Wei Lin picked up the water glass, she gently blew the hot air wafting from the cup, and the smile on her face became a little helpless: "Okay, I thought that the fish we caught earlier could be a breakthrough." ”
"There's no way around it."
Xiuge poured himself a refreshing drink, and as he spoke, he turned his head to look at the "skin worms" in the alchemy container: "We need more than just a lot of time to study these things...... It also requires sufficient academic resources, manpower, and even luck. ”
Now, these "skin worms" imprisoned in alchemy containers have been subjected to several additional layers of isolation rituals.
Not only that, but Xiuge also set up his own abyssal magic on these containers, and under the suppression and blockade of a large number of rituals and magic powers, these strange community creatures completely fell into a state of almost dormancy, they slowly floated in the alchemical solution, and their bodies naturally stretched, looking like specimens.
"We still know too little about them, which can even bring great dangers and hidden dangers to our research...... In contrast, it would be simpler and more effective to figure out the course of action of the Black Sun Society. ”
In this regard, Wei Lin seemed to be a little noncommittal: "We have experienced the habits of the Black Sun Society many times, and I admit that they are indeed better to deal with than those ancient creations, but what we can think of, they must also think of...... I don't think we're going to be able to get any really effective intelligence out of an operation like this. ”
Shuge withdrew his gaze from observing the "skin worm", he looked at the female mage sitting across from him, and said, "I may not think about this question from the same perspective as you. ”
Hearing this, Wei Lin's eyebrows raised slightly, of course she couldn't be angry because of such a sentence, so she asked, "Let's hear it, what's the difference?" ”
"This has to start from the position and identity of us, the Black Sun Society, and those ancient creations."
Xiuge organized his language for a moment and said slowly: "The biggest reason why we find these ancient creations dangerous and intractable is that their behavior methods and principles are always beyond our expectations, their forms and abilities are already very strange, and those unpredictable behaviors make it impossible for us to truly understand them in a short period of time. ”
"In contrast, no matter what tactics the Black Sun Society adopts, they have never been able to get out of the box."
"Inherently Framework......"
Wei Lin grasped the point of Xiuge's words, and she repeated the word softly, and her originally slightly confused eyes had a little more brilliance: "What do you mean is that the principles and laws of the Black Sun Society's behavior can still be understood and predicted?" ”
Xiuge nodded, "Although in the eyes of many people, these members of the Black Sun Society are unreasonable lunatic, in fact, their level of madness is extremely limited...... If we look back at our previous experience, they acted on vague prophecies, but in doing so, they made a series of elaborate plans. ”
"Of course, I can be a little rougher."
Shug showed a somewhat subtle smile: "They are crazy, but they are not completely crazy, they seem to do whatever it takes to achieve their ends, but the methods they use have never escaped the rules of Van En itself, and they even have to resort to the power of those 'despicable individuals' in their eyes." ”
"As for the actions we talked about earlier against the Black Sun Society, it should be easy to understand by now."
Xiuge put down his cup, and his voice became cold: "Since they can't get out of this inherent framework, then what we have to do is naturally to destroy all their input here as much as possible. ”
"Maybe one or two such actions won't bring about any fundamental change, and there will be no way to get the intelligence and information we want, but it can really weaken the Black Sun Society's control and influence in various regions on the surface."
"Well, I see what you mean."
In Xiuge's words, Wei Lin finally finished drinking the refreshing drink in her cup, and she rolled her eyes at Xiuge: "You actually want to completely sever the connection between the Black Sun Society and those ancient creations, right?" ”
"Yes, they may indeed believe in the Lost Gods, and they do have some of their power, but that doesn't mean that the Black Sun Society can form an alliance with the true clans, and we need to keep the two as separate as possible."
"Smack!"
With a soft sound, Wei Lin placed the empty cup on the table, she looked at Xiug and smiled, "I guess, when you get to Merlinle, you will definitely have a lot in common with the gang in charge of public affairs...... Don't call me when you're talking, I don't want to be tortured like that. ”
Xiuge was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he also realized that he had just been a little too serious and serious, and as a purer magician, Wei Lin's care and understanding of these matters was already very limited.
If you want her to be really involved in these things, there is probably not much of a chance.
Participating in this kind of discussion just now is probably already her limit.
After putting down the report documents in her hand, Wei Lin quickly delved back into the subject of "skin worms" and "color of life", she had just thought of a new experimental idea, and was eager to carry it out in the makeshift laboratory, so Xiuge stopped bothering her, picked up the Black Sun Scepter, and walked directly outside.
When it comes to the ocean, Shuge is always in awe.
Although a sturdy ship equipped with weapons would give him a place to live in the open sea, the feeling of his feet not touching the ground would make Xiuge feel very unstable.
And what happened in the past few days has further aggravated Xiuge's mentality.
In order to prevent a similar situation, Xiuge directly took the Black Sun Scepter to the banquet hall, found a random table and sat down, and the abundant magic power spread out in all directions after being injected into the Black Sun Scepter, and a huge web of perception shrouded the surrounding area, including the Windless.
Although this is the largest port in the Principality of Prar, its scale is really limited, and in just half an hour, Xiuge has used his perception to carefully search the entire port.
Perhaps it was because the Black Sun Society had not taken any further action for the time being, or perhaps it was a place like the Principality of Prar that was not ranked at all in the eyes of the Black Sun Society, and Xiuge had gained unprecedented peace and tranquility in this perceptual investigation.
And so, in the evening, with all the crew and passengers in place, the fleet, which had only taken a short break in the Duchy of Prary, set sail again.
There were fewer passengers on the Windless than before.
Most of these people who left early were not the nobles from all over the world who had to attend the Merlinle and the Conference, they had originally boarded the Windless with gilding and some other mission or purpose, but what had happened before had caused them to be extremely deterrent.
They want to be able to easily win their share of the benefits on this journey, rather than losing their lives because of it.
The departure of this group changed the atmosphere on the Windless.
The communication between the passengers has become much more pure, and some of the scholars who have been interested in and studying the deep-sea communities have even succeeded in getting closer to each other, including Leger, who has a bad reputation.
Everyone is a smart person, and they are aware of the special attitude of Xiuge and the Dawn Society towards Leger, coupled with Leger's own performance, many people have changed their opinion of him, at least now, Leger will no longer be treated as a clown as he was at the beginning, and in some daily research and academic discussions, they will also politely bring Leger a share.
Legel has a cheeky and flexible mind that ordinary scholars do not have, and he knows very well where the direct source of this change is, so after two in-depth conversations with Richard and other members of the Dawn Society, Legle shows his tendencies and attitudes very directly.
Hugg even saw that the guy had somehow bought a book on social studies about St. Steele, written by none other than Frey Meyer.
Whether it's superficial or not, it's a good start.
Soon, the fleet of the Windless left the harbor, and the fleet was to sail to the shores of the Duchy of the Black River, where they would welcome the second group of passengers who boarded the ship, and then headed straight for the cold Merlinleho, which would take two days longer than expected, and the relevant adjustments and notices were in place.
The three live "skin bugs" and most of the collected flesh and blood samples have been successfully handed over to the local Laws Commission officials, who need to provide better preservation conditions for these valuable samples, and secretly send them to the territory of the Kingdom of Germany, where these samples will be dissected and studied in the largest Law Commission research institute and laboratory in the Kingdom of Germany.
After the storm, calm came.
Without any external interference, Xiuge and the others ushered in a relatively relaxed and leisurely life on the ship, in addition to collecting intelligence and researching samples every day, Xiuge even got some opportunities to write written works.
On the second night after resuming the voyage, Shug sat at his desk in the company of "Justina", unfolding an old notebook with a somewhat defaced cover and a slight smell of war, which Verine had kept for him.
In it, there is the beginning of the work he wrote at the time under the pseudonym "The Ghost of the City of Seren".
After so much to come, Shug felt the need to fill in for the rest of the story.
