Merlinle and dawn are a little earlier than in other places.

And when the light successfully falls in front of Shugue's window and penetrates the curtains of the room, the sprawling city that he has always been known as a dreamy name also awakens.

The wide canal that connects the harbor with the inner and outer city is the backbone of the city, the carefully calculated and planned streets are its veins, and the workshops and laboratories that constantly shimmer and begin to slowly expel magical steam outward are Merlinle's steady, long breathing.

Except when he was dreaming, Xiuge's sleep was never very deep, so he only felt that he had only been asleep for a long time, and then he woke up with the huge city.

He yawned and turned into a "puddle" again, and moved Justina, who was sleeping on the side of the bed, to the foot of the bed, and then came to the window, opened the curtain, and opened the window a small slit.

Rainstorms, strong winds, and snowfall could not have any effect on Merlinler and the inner city, but the morning breeze was not among them, and they were also tainted with some magic after passing through the massive magical barrier.

Therefore, when these breezes came to Xiuge, Xiuge found that the magical power in his body had also begun to become active, and his mind, which was still a little sleepy and drowsy, had also become sober.

"Is this a 'wake-up call' from Merlin Lehe? Really sweet......"

Xiuge shook his head, he didn't hate this feeling very much, now he just needs to be able to ensure that his body and spirit can rest and relax in time, adequate sleep is not a necessity, like the previous situation where there are ancient creations fighting in his head can only be regarded as an accident within an accident.

Before the break last night, Xiuge had already received the schedule and notice of the Legislative Committee, and the formal meeting would start in the evening, and there was no itinerary arranged in the morning.

The main reason for this is that there is another group of officials and scholars who have not yet arrived in Mehringle, and their expected arrival time is noon today.

This also means that for most of the day, Xiuge and the others are completely free to dispose of them, and they can even visit some important figures in the legal committee in advance.

As early as last night, after getting this schedule, everyone in the Dawn Society had already drawn up a plan for the visit.

Shuge and Verin are the most important representatives of the Dawn Society, and they need to attend the most important meetings, and the rest need to be completed by Richard and other members.

At this time, the screening work completed by Felix and others before departure showed very good results.

After a quick assignment, the limited number of members of the Dawn Society was divided into different groups, and almost every visiting group had members who were good at official speech and had relevant official business experience, and not only that, but there will also be some Dharma Council mages who had joined the Dawn Society earlier today.

Xiuge always had respect for these comrades-in-arms who were extremely far away from the headquarters of the Dawn Society, but they had always been silently supporting, so he specially arranged a meeting in the afternoon, preparing to thank these supporters hidden in Merlin Le on behalf of Meyer and others.

All sorts of detailed plans flashed through Xiuge's mind, and in the distance in the wide canal, an extraordinarily large cargo ship was slowly moving along the river, Xiuge had seen it yesterday, according to Wei Lin, this kind of large freighter was generally responsible for the transportation of important goods, materials, and materials between the inner and outer cities.

As for the transportation of goods......

Unfortunately, there are no shops in the inner city of Merlinle.

To be precise, there are only a dozen or so material distribution points in the inner city that seem to be shops, but are actually controlled by the Legal Committee and several heavyweight merchant groups, and for those mages living in the inner city, these materials can be withdrawn after registration, of course, the amount of withdrawal is related to the type and the level and status of the mage they have.

This is a very simple, simple approach to resource management that can only be applied to a small scale.

In this case, all the goods naturally lose the coat of commodities and are measured purely according to the "material".

If you want to spend money, or experience some fancy life, it is naturally more comfortable to go to the outer city, especially those commercial plazas jointly built by large chambers of commerce.

How serious the surface tone of Merlin Lehe is, how outrageous is the magnificence hidden beneath these squares.

If he had enough time, he would have had the idea of "seeing and seeing", but in today's situation, this kind of fun is obviously undesirable, and instead of spending time on these sensory stimuli, he should look at the progress of those experiments on "color of life" and "community".

After clearing his mind, Shuge settled the various things in the room, and after changing his clothes, he walked out of the room and into the hall.

Not many members of the Dawn Society had risen up, and this was the first real "diplomatic" activity of the Dawn Society, so most of them were quite excited, even if they were a little sleepy, they were all forced to press down with drinks or drugs - this was the first day of Merlin Le He, and everyone was ready to show their best.

After carefully asking Xiuge, she realized that Wei Lin had already gone out more than ten minutes earlier, and she seemed to be preparing to meet her teachers, and she didn't know how the professors and scholars of the Law Committee would feel when they saw that their students had embarked on such a path.

Everyone has their own arrangements, and Xiuge is no exception.

It's just that compared to others, the people he visits are somewhat special.

Located on the edge of the inner city, the "Sword Retreat" is a notorious existence that can stop children crying at night, even to the ears of Merinle and the locals.

"Crying again? Crying again, the sword-wielding hermit will take you to the ashram! ”

This is the classic phrase used by the locals to scare the children.

In terms of fear and fear, the sword-wielding hermits were truly "one inside and out", and the fear of these sword-wielding hermits was the same, whether in Merlinle or elsewhere.

Although the Legislature has always wanted to portray the sword-wielders as "guardians" in front of people, especially Merlinler and the inhabitants, there are some things that are too much to return, and they are compounded by the character problems of a significant number of sword-wielding hermits, as well as their deformities and extremes in their behavioural and behavioural styles.

Over time, the Dharma-Legislature and the sword-wielding hermits gave up on this effort and attempt completely.

And then it became what it is today.

However, this kind of rumor can be said to have no impact on people like Xiuge, after all, in Van Eng, a rare case like him who has killed a sword-wielding hermit with his own hands, and lived and died with individual sword-wielding hermits, has long been immune to this special group, let alone a formal visit to the sword-wielding hermitage, even if he is allowed to live in it directly for two days, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Not to mention......

Even if the two sides really broke out into a conflict and fought, with his own ability, Xiuge also had the confidence to deal with a large group of people alone.

However, compared to his indifference, Richard, as a companion, seemed a little worried, as a person who had received basic Wattle spy training, all kinds of warnings and rumors about sword-wielding hermits had long been engraved in his head, and these warnings to deepen the terrifying image of sword-wielding were constantly reminding Richard that he was going to visit one of the most dangerous places in Van En today!

In this way, he followed Xiuge uneasily to the "crystallized carriage" sent by the Judicial Committee.

This is a very long-standing vehicle used in Merlinler and the Inner City, and it is essentially a vehicle that uses a mage's apprentice as a driver to manipulate one or more special horse-shaped magic golems to drag the vehicle forward.

They are no longer visible in most parts of Vann, and they are still found only in the inner city of Merlinle and a few royal courtyards.

"You are Mr. Schug Ernst!"

The apprentice of the Dharma Council driving the crystal carriage couldn't help but turn his head and talk to Xiuge while controlling the carriage forward, although his mage level was only an apprentice, but his age was close to thirty years old, after carefully observing Xiuge's face, the driver's face showed extremely complicated emotions.

"You really are...... Too young, much younger than the legend! ”

The apprentice finally turned his head back, and as he drove the car forward, he raised his voice and continued, "I've heard your name for a long time, but at that time...... At that time, I was just your reader, and I had read several of your works. ”

Richard, who was in the same car, naturally knew about Xiuge's past experience, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look twice in the direction of Xiuge.

However, Schug does not have any special expressions because of the "special works" he has created in the past, and he seems extremely calm, as if the two sides are talking about a bland drink in an ordinary kettle.

"I didn't think of that...... Will the magazines in the city of Salem be sold all the way to Merlinle? ”

"Uh......"

Hearing this, the carriage driver was stunned for a moment, he touched his head, and then said: "In fact, there are many story books sold in the outer city...... will 'publish' your work so that they will sell better, as for the magazine in the city of Selen...... How can we buy it here? ”

"I see."

Seeing that Xiuge didn't care about these topics, the driver added with a smile: "Sir, I'm not afraid to tell you that there are still quite a few people in the inner city who have collected your works, but they may not know that they are your works at all...... After all, life in the inner city is boring, and spending a lot of money on the outer city pastime, haha, you know! ”

Hearing these words, Xiuge suddenly burst out laughing.

For a moment, the memories and emotions of a certain "down-and-out writer" who had been deliberately pressed into the corner by him quietly revived, and Xiuge only felt as if he was back in the border town that had been completely destroyed.

In the past few years, Schug Ernst has indeed been often dragged by his own readers to discuss these things while he is on the bus.

Even, for a long time, this slightly awkward conversation and discussion was an important opportunity for the down-and-out young man to find his own value and sense of existence in this world.

The apprentice who was driving seemed to be a little emotional, and he drove the carriage through an intersection, showed his ID to the Dharma Master in charge of the inspection, and then rushed to the other end of the city with Xiuge.

"But, Mr. Ernst...... I've had a lot of friends say that they won't be able to see the works of Midnight Dawn in the future, after all, you're a true legend now! ”

He said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "There are many people who will not be able to sleep well at night in the future!" ”

Shug laughed along, and then he suddenly asked, "So, do you think I'd better be that 'Midnight Dawn' or 'Mr. Ernst' now?" ”

Hearing Xiuge ask, the mage apprentice who was driving the car suddenly fell silent.

He was silent for a long time, until the crystallized carriage passed through the two intersections, and then said in a low voice, "Of course 'Mr. Ernst' is better?" After all, you've really saved a lot of people. ”

In this way, the carriage passed through the central square of the inner city, where the tall statue of the goddess Mel and the huge library of the mage tower stood, passed the inner city docks, where many magic golems were loading and unloading goods, and drove onto the delicate and sturdy canal bridge......

Neither the passenger nor the driver spoke again.

After another half an hour, the crystallized carriage finally reached the other end of the city, and it slowly came to a halt in front of a somewhat oppressive spire, and the mage's apprentice took out his credentials and handed them to a tall, greatsword-carrying figure.

This was already the domain of the sword-wielding hermits, and both Shuge and Richard took out their identification documents and showed them to the examiner in front of them.

When he saw the "Council Mage Certificate" in Xiuge's hand, the sword-wielding hermit who stepped forward immediately showed a little dissatisfaction and hostility, and a pair of small eyes flashed with cold light, making it difficult to breathe.

Xiuge raised his head, his gaze calmly met the cold eyes, and the shadows of the abyss in the depths of the pupils shook slightly, so that the invisible force that crushed over like a wall immediately collapsed.

Then, he stepped out of the carriage, took a magic crystal from his pocket as a tip, and handed it to the apprentice, smiling again.

"Don't despair, maybe 'Midnight Dawn' and 'Mr. Ernst' can coexist?"
