"As long as the abyss can be erased, all the troubles will naturally be gone."

For a moment, Xiuge couldn't even be sure of the true attitude of the faceless god in front of him.

She looked like she was making a joke that wasn't funny, and she was talking nonsense about the truth.

Seeing that Xiuge looked at her strangely, Theseus also seemed a little bored, she shrugged her shoulders and let out a sneer: "I'm serious, it's just that there really is no existence that can do this......"

"You...... It can't be done, right? ”

"Of course not."

Theseus spread his hands helplessly: "I have tried hard, and I have tried enough, but you have also seen the final result...... All I can do is slow down the process, and it won't be long before the waves out there will become more ferocious. ”

Speaking of this, Theseus raised her head slightly, and in the midst of the fog and turmoil, a series of emotions such as Xiuge's incomprehension, doubt, and confusion were easily perceived by her, so the faceless god shook his head and said, "Why, do I look so much like a pure 'fun man'?" Couldn't I just take on some of my responsibilities on a whim? ”

“……”

It had happened many times since Theseus saw through his thoughts, and Shug was not surprised by this, so he did not feel embarrassed, reached out and pulled a chair and sat down in front of Theseus: "According to you, the current situation can be said to be very unoptimistic, so I want to know what you are ...... What attempts have been made, and how much time can they be converted back? ”

"Hey, your attitude changed very quickly, did you trust my words completely?"

"Even if I'm skeptical, is there any way to skip you and falsify? Is there really that kind of must-or? ”

Shuge looked at the figure in front of him, until now, there was still a faint black mist wafting out from the damage on Theseus's body, if this was not a deliberate performance, then it could only mean that this guy was most likely injured in what she called "trying".

Xiuge speculated that the reason why she used the female image that is now a whole circle smaller may also be related to the trauma.

"I didn't actually do anything, I just took the initiative to visit our neighbors, that is, I knocked on the door at random and kicked the puppies in the yard...... If anything, I stoned their windows, and that's all. ”

Theseus's use of a description is somewhat comical, and it sounds quite subtle joy of "popping a man's window with a cowhide", but when this description is applied to the court of the Abyss, it is really chilling.

Judging from Theseus's description, what she did was probably to make some big noise near the Abyss Court, run into the palace, provoke and even injure a circle of dangerous court hounds with bad means, and then launched a direct attack on the Abyss Court itself in some unimaginable way.

After saying this bad joke, Theseus restrained her tone, and she said solemnly: "This change in the Abyss Court is destined to be very special...... It had been gone for an unknown amount of time before, and when I saw Van En again, it would inevitably be 'heavy-handed', so in order to prevent the hunters in the Abyss Court from paying too much attention to Van N, I had to take this method. ”

Hearing this, Xiuge's eyebrows raised suddenly: "Wait! What do you mean......"

"As a neighbor who has been 'borrowing' the power of the Abyss for a long time, the essence of this shelter is a bloodsucking worm lying on the behemoth of the Abyss, and now the bloodsucking worm not only continues to suck blood, but even takes the initiative to increase its strength and take a few bites."

Theseus's tone was calm and frightening: "So now, this is also their goal, and it can even be called the primary goal." ”

Her palm gently brushed over the table beside her, and the power belonging to the faceless god calmed down those turbulent and strange remnants for a moment: "Let's be more direct, this shelter has been 'sold' by me, not only will it become the first target of those hunters, but even all the existence related to this shelter will be marked." ”

"That means, I'm about to be chased by a dog?"

"It's pretty much the same, maybe it's not necessarily those hounds, but there's nothing wrong with being mentally prepared."

Probably finally explaining these important things, Theseus's tone revealed a slight lightness, she stretched her body slightly, and at the same time hummed twice rather femininely, her voice was long and languid.

"I remember when you first came here, didn't you always want to run out of the fog? Now here's your chance. ”

Theseus raised his hand and pointed to the other end of the hallway, and Hug looked along, and then he was surprised to find that the black fog that had been used to separate the office area was now very small, and with the naked eye, he could clearly see the areas he had not been to before.

"A new area is open, let's explore it!"

Theseus uttered a joke in a strange tone that gave Hug a great headache.

"So, things from the abyss could come from these places at any time, right?"

Instead of picking up the rotten stalks thrown by Theseus, he frowned and looked into the distance, the areas blocked by the fog seemed to be the same as the office area, at least all he could see were neatly arranged desks, computers, and all sorts of furnishings that he was all too familiar with, but there was always an unsettling color in these areas.

Combined with the dim lights on the ceiling, it actually gave Xiuge a rather strange feeling.

In the past, in the face of Theseus's behavior, Xiuge would definitely be a little angry, or have some resentment, but now, he found that he was able to face this change with extreme calm.

Even, he was a little satisfied and happy.

As for the source of this emotion, Shug didn't want to delve into it now, he turned his head and asked Theseus, "So, how do I know when those hunters in the abyss will come to the door?" And...... Do you, as the owner of this place, have some backup plans? ”

"Your spirit and strength are one with the shelter, and you will be able to perceive it whenever it is under attack or sensing the proximity of a threat......

Theseus replied slowly: "As for me, I have more things to do, or I will leave soon, after all, judging from the previous situation, the effect of this visit is still good, I will further 'increase my efforts', after all, for you now, time is the most precious resource." ”

Her tone was steady and sincere, almost oblivious to the titles of the gods that Theseus had.

Now she is somewhat similar to another face.

Xiuge nodded, he looked around, only to see that the containers that contained all kinds of ancient creations were still standing quietly in place, they were the few existences inside the shelter that had not been impacted and affected by the abyss tide.

Theseus once again had insight into Xiuge's thoughts: "Again, I don't recommend that you perform too many 'sacrifices' in one go in a short period of time, every time you accommodate a family or creation, it is equivalent to separating a part of your magic and spirit, and if you make yourself crazy, I will have to spend time and energy to fix your brain, which is very troublesome." ”

"However, the specific choice and operation power must still be in your own hands, in short, be careful, don't cause any trouble."

……

Towards three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiuge slowly woke up.

When he left the dream shelter this time, his mood became extremely complicated, not only because of Van and the new predicament he was about to face, but also because of Theseus's clear attitude on the matter.

Uncover the truth about the shelter, speak up about your plans and ideas, and make clear recommendations for next steps......

From this series of measures with obvious tendencies, Xiuge actually smelled a breath of impatience and restlessness.

It's hard to imagine a god who used to be based on chaos and fun-seeking, and if it weren't for the subtle connection between Theseus and the goddess of magic, Mel, he would have almost thought this was a new round of Theseus's tricks and tricks.

Luckily, however, Hug finally received a rare and unequivocal message from Theseus.

The danger is indeed coming, but the threat to Van En itself will be relatively lagging behind, at least for the next time, the vast majority of the inhabitants of Van will not need to face the "Great Hunt" from the abyss, these countries and organizations still have some time to complete negotiations and alliances, and find ways to eliminate those threats that originate from within Van Grace.

But the problem is that the amount of time that Van En can have is basically unknown.

Because he didn't know how long Theseus, the shelter, and himself would be able to hold out under the direct threat of the Abyss Court, and he didn't know when the Abyss Court itself would turn its attention elsewhere.

He got out of bed and reached out to pick up the trench coat he had thrown on the ground earlier.

A small shadow slowly creeps out from within the illusion of shelter created by the roots of fate, and as the "heir" associated with the spirit of Xiuge, "Giustina" clearly captures the trace of depression that her "father" exudes.

She didn't know what she was supposed to do, so she slowly moved to the side of Shuge and placed her soft translucent palm on Shuge's calf.

The cold touch on his legs brought Xiuge's mind back to reality, and he lowered his body and gently picked up the figure that tried to care about him.

"I'm fine, don't worry...... I'm fine. ”

He seemed to be talking to "Justina", and as if he was talking to himself, finally, the fluctuating emotions returned to stability, and Shuge stuffed "Justina" back into the illusion created by the roots of fate, and he placed the two containers he had prepared earlier in front of "Justina".

"Remember to eat well, don't be hungry, understand?"

"Hmm......"

Hearing the slight response, Xiug put on his trench coat, took the Black Sun Scepter and other items, turned around and walked out.

After the chaos and turmoil of the morning, stability has been restored throughout Merlinle under the strong hand of the Legislative Council, and although many establishments and shops in the outer urban areas have remained closed at the behest of the Legislative Council, the basic activities of the residents and the Chamber of Commerce have resumed.

It's just that there are two more obvious changes in the current Merlin Lehe.

The first change is in the people, although on weekdays, people do not look at the sky all day long, but now, they will always deliberately lower their heads, as if walking with their heads down has become a new trend, any passerby who tries to look up will immediately be warned by their peers or family members, and some children who want to look up at their parents will even be scolded for this.

The second change occurred in the streets and buildings of Merlinle.

The mages of the Legislature were very efficient in dealing with these things, and in just half a day, magical notices, warning signs, and loudspeakers were produced in batches for the Black Sun anomaly, and the magic apprentices with their executor's credentials fixed these objects to alert the inhabitants to various places.

The new batch of magic puppets in charge of the Alchemy Workshop Headquarters of the Legal Committee is relatively lagging behind.

After all, even the most experienced magicians had never made a magic golem to "stop the inhabitants from looking up at the sun in time", which was a bit too tricky.

In this way, in a slightly tense and strange atmosphere, time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened, but the rich shadow in the sky was still very conspicuous, and as one of the few people who could observe the sky with the naked eye, Schug could clearly see the flowing black lines in the area around this shadow.

These black shadows are exactly the same as what I saw in my dream shelter.

A warning from the Dharma Council mage came from the side, so Xiuge lowered his head and showed his ID to the other party, and the loud hum of a large ship venting its magical steam sounded in the distance in Merlinle and the bay.

The last group of participants has also arrived.

"Let's go, let's go into the venue, the temperature is a little low, so we won't stay outside."

Shug turned to the side, squeezing out a smile and nodding at Verin, who had been standing beside him.

So, the two of them, who had already changed into their dresses, walked towards the gate of the venue not far away.

Will this coming night have an impact on Van's future fate?

Nobody knows.
