These two points made by Master Edmund greatly deepened the speculation that Shuge had in mind.

At the beginning of the war, the news of the inexplicable attack on the Cedar Scholars Tower caused a sensation for a short time, but this news that should have been very important was eventually drowned in the drastic changes that followed.

After all, for ordinary people, no matter how high the status of the Cedar Scholar Tower Group in Van En is, its actual significance cannot be compared with his real life.

When they or their family and friends are about to be affected by the war, the news of the Cedar Scholars Tower becomes worthless.

Of course, this news still has a considerable impact among those who know some inside spellcasters, after all, in Vane, there are very few means to easily defeat the Deep Sea Mage Tower and inflict significant damage on it, and even fewer people who have the courage to attack openly.

In the very short period since this happened, the Commission conducted a detailed investigation and questioning of those who had the ability and opportunity to do so, but the conclusions reached were confusing to all.

None of them were suspects.

And even more nothing to carry heavy ordnance and try to bombard the army of the Scholar Towers!

"At that time, I didn't know that Yetevich was already serving the Black Sun Society...... In the context of our personal relationship, I asked him for the details behind the alleged 'attack', and he was very generous enough to let me see a fragment of a secret ritual recorded inside the Cedar Scholars Tower. ”

Edmund stated: "In that mutilated image, I saw something similar - a black arc of light that I could not parse with ordinary magical knowledge, it burst out of nothingness, and in the most direct way, it broke all the protections on the Scholars' Towers, the collision lasted only a moment, but the resulting magical explosion was so amazing that I could even see that the arc of light, after destroying all the protection, swept over the top of the tower, leaving huge gaps in the huge stone bricks mixed with countless precious materials. ”

Speaking of this, Edmund sighed: "We have repeatedly demonstrated and calculated many times, and that is definitely not something that can be done by manpower, at least in the existing magic and alchemy system, we can't find a corresponding solution at all, and we can't find any possibility to match it...... Even if only theoretically. ”

There was a bit of frustration in the deep-sea mage's tone, but at the same time, he was extremely determined, which is the distinguishing characteristic of mages who are pillared by rigor and logic, and although they can also be trapped by difficult problems, they are also confident in the rigorous calculations they have made.

And what Edmund said was nothing more than a side argument for the conjecture in Hugg's mind.

Since it is not a human power, it is naturally the so-called "divine power".

Or rather, it's a terrible tactic that is incomprehensible to the current casters.

Xiuge's eyes narrowed slightly, the memories in his brain were surging rapidly, and in just a few breaths, the majestic spiritual power helped him successfully find the corresponding picture in his mountain of memories.

He remembered that on the day of the attack on the Cedar Scholars Tower, a faceless god of conspiracy had disappeared for a while in the Dream Sanctuary, and when he reappeared, his clothes were visibly torn, almost like ......

"It's like running out of the scene of an explosion."

Although there was no further corroboration, Xiuge already had the corresponding answer in his mind, and he thought back to the amazing and terrifying black arc he had seen in the crystal ball, and he was extremely sure of this answer in his heart.

Sneak into the enemy's hinterland without saying a word, and strike at some important target......

This unpredictable and unpredictable disorder is indeed in keeping with the character of Theseus.

"But why did He do that?"

Just as Hug began to think about this question, the elven mages began to mobilize their magic power at the same time, and a huge and clear magic map appeared in front of everyone, and within seconds of seeing this map, Shug's confusion had been answered.

As Edmund had previously said, the only city to have been released from the Dark Dome blockade had a very special location.

The name of the city of St. Steele is long, according to the lingua franca, the full name is "Arumbaru Stersk Bertal", which in the northern dialect translates as "the city of the strait, courage and watch", and is also commonly known as "the city of watch".

Just from the name, you can also see the particularity of "Overwatch City".

The city of Northside Bay is an extension of Merlinler and the bay, and the City of Watch itself is not used as a major port, but it is the most powerful protector and transportation hub of the nearby harbor, with the nearby mountains providing protection from extreme storms, and the wide roads built between the mountains allowing people, goods, and goods to enter and exit with great efficiency.

In addition, it is also the junction of several important routes along the St. Steele border, so the City of Watch has seen numerous battles and battles in the past, and it itself has been rebuilt many times due to excessive warfare.

"I'm sure if we showed this map and the previous footage to the soldiers on the plateau, they would immediately get excited......"

The fat elven mage whispered, "I remember that the soldiers of Wattle seem to have always been interested in this city? ”

Xiuge nodded: "Those students and midshipmen in the military academy are easy to quarrel over the offensive and defensive issues of this city, and it seems that there are sand table deduction activities that use it as a template every year...... Unfortunately, I didn't witness it with my own eyes. ”

Lady Delaly said with a smile: "Let the Law Committee do these things, now that all countries have relevant military personnel in Merlinle, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely be able to see the importance of this matter, even if they are slow to react, Sophia's princess will definitely show something." ”

Then, she winked at Hug again: "Mr. Ernst, am I right?" ”

“？”

Xiuge's mood became a little delicate, but he still nodded in cooperation, he could confirm that he had not been tracked and monitored when he was in Merlin Le and his actions before, but this kind of news that was particularly easy to cause scandals always spread extremely quickly.

He quickly threw away these inconsequential confusions in his heart, and instead said, "When the conversation here is over, I will also inform the Dawn Society immediately, there are many people who are eager to take new measures and try against the Black Sun Society...... This will be a great opportunity for those soldiers whose hometown is in Saint-Stiel. ”

"I'll remind some of the people in the Legislative Council that we need Saint-Stills now, the more the better."

Edmund nodded, and then he stood up and pointed to the watchman city in the magic map.

He turned to Shug and said, "Regardless of whether the parties can agree on the next matter of the Alliance, we would like to be able to carry out an operation against Overwatch City and the surrounding area, and this operation will require your participation very much, Mr. Ernst. ”

"Me?"

"Yes, it can be without others, but there must be you."

……

The night was a lot quieter than the last.

Although people were still terrified and frightened by the horrific attacks that had taken place before, for some reason, the strange beasts that could have escaped from the shadows at any moment did not reappear.

It's just that those who had looked directly at the black sun before, but survived the first round of attacks, did not feel any more relaxed because of this.

They feel as if they have been marked by the most terrible hunters, and in their consciousness there are always strange voices that are difficult to discern, constantly reminding them that the hunt will come, regardless of time and place, day and night......

While the survivors were in that long and painful ordeal, the mages in charge of studying the Abyssal Hound had already completed the initial verification of the advice given by Xiuge.

They tentatively confirmed that these terrifying predators from distant worlds who had a universal attachment to the creatures of Van En were in fact extremely special magical beasts.

"They are purely magical creatures, one might even say 'magical creatures', because these hounds don't need an exact entity, or the so-called entity is just a non-essential structure for them to carry magical power."

"We can use the magic we already have to hurt them or even destroy them, and when their power is depleted, the wreckage left behind is even more astonishing."

"After a few of the more 'strong' hounds were successfully eliminated, they were left with a peculiar wreck – we thought they were their bones at first, but we soon discovered that they were actually strange ores with irregular shapes."

"Not only that, but we also observed that a considerable number of the captured hounds were particularly weak, their strength was constantly passing at a slow pace, and when their strength was exhausted, they would die on their own, these weak hounds did not leave any traces, and it seemed that their nature was similar to that of the summoned creatures we perceived, pure strength polymers."

“……”

After the meeting, Verine, who returned to the rest room, didn't even have time to change her clothes, she took the report sent by the Law Committee and read it quickly, and at the end of the document, she saw something that would really interest her.

They were two very clear images of magic, engraved with patterns on the ore left behind by the hounds.

The familiar pattern appeared in front of Wei Lin's eyes again.

Although most of them were unfamiliar, with the experience she had accumulated before, Wei Lin still recognized the meaning of several lines for the first time, she raised her head in surprise, and instinctively wanted to grab someone to share her findings, but at this time she realized that the guy who had the ability and permission to listen to these sharing here didn't seem to have returned......

Wei Lin raised her eyebrows helplessly, and was about to sit down at the table to continue reading the documents in her hand, but a slightly tired face poked in from the door out of the corner of her eye.

"Well, sure enough, I haven't rested yet...... Richard told me that the meeting had only ended for a while, and that I had come back in time. ”

Seeing Wei Lin staring at him, Shug shrugged his shoulders: "Honestly, those 'old guys' are not as legendary as they thought, eh...... At least they're a lot more alive than the legend is......"

"Come here."

Wei Lin's demeanor returned to normal in an instant, she directly interrupted Xiuge's greetings, and there seemed to be infinite energy in her voice, and with a gesture of her hand, the mage's hand immediately helped her move an empty chair, and then floated to the side and took two clean water glasses.

She stretched out her hand to the twisted patterns on the paper in front of her: "I've seen them several times, in Poems of the Night, and in the jagged hills...... These lines are very important, and the Commission is willing to show us these things, is it because you have convinced the ...... 'old guys'? ”

For Wei Lin, being able to call those legendary mages in such words is already a rare indulgence and humor.

"Theoretically, but I think the reason why they are courting is entirely because of what they have to do next...... Let's talk about your findings first, and let me see if it's worth the price." ”

Xiuge took a sip of the water cup, and sure enough, it was a sweetened refreshing drink.

I don't know how Wei Lin usually drinks these things all day and sleeps normally.

Wei Lin was a little curious about the "worth the fare" that Xiuge said, but she still kept her restraint, and instead pointed to the patterns in front of her and said, "I recognized a total of five, and they are these few. ”

She stretched out her finger and swiped nimbly across the paper, and the bright lines of magic immediately circled the target pattern in her mouth.

Immediately afterward, Verine explained: "I have figured out their meanings through the Poetry of the Night and the 'victims' of the jagged hills, which mean 'to pursue or pursue,' 'great,' 'shadow,' 'clearing or courtyard,' and 'end,' respectively. ”

"You mean, the essence of these lines is actually words?"

"It can be understood in this way, but they are more likely to be a special vehicle that combines magical patterns and words, which can be used to transmit messages and carry power, and in short, I don't recommend treating them the same way they are treated with ordinary words."

Wei Lin's fingers tapped twice quickly on the tabletop: "If we can get more samples and compare them, maybe there will be some additional discoveries...... Why is your expression so strange? ”

"Because, I'm afraid this wish of yours will soon come true."
