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

Hearing this, Wei Lin looked over with some confusion, and then she saw that Hug had taken out a folded piece of paper and spread it flat on the table.

On the paper, the dark dome with countless intricate patterns that had appeared in the magical image was imprinted.

Wei Lin stared twice at the striking image on the magic paper, then looked back at Xiuge, silently awaiting his explanation.

Seeing her appearance, Xiuge had no choice but to quickly explain it to Wei Lin in the most concise language.

Once her confusion was answered, Willin's attention returned to the images, and as before, she quickly circled the paper with a number of lines that she could recognize, and then she used the thin lines to connect them in a certain order.

"Although the number of these patterns is very large, they have a relatively consistent core, or rather...... Topic. ”

Wei Lin's fingers tapped a dot on the paper as she explained, "This is a pattern summarized in the first volume of the Poem of the Night, and I have no way of confirming its accuracy, but as far as the previous situation is concerned, it does have some reference value. ”

"Based on my dismantling of the magical traces in 'Poems of the Night', it seems that the 'mad poet' who wrote this 'poetry collection' wants to find another way to solve the magical structure and magic formula."

In The Poetry of the Night, the mad poet Azifu describes magic itself as an untouchable, infinitely charismatic and changeable woman, and he also thinks that if you want to have an intimate and deep ...... with this woman To communicate, you need to make full use of your own sensibilities and intuition. ”

After the strange and complicated events that had gone through the past, Wei Lin was able to maintain a fairly calm face in the face of this obviously somewhat "blasphemous" depiction of Goddess Mel, and she pointed to the lines on the paper and said, "In Azifu's classification, the lines I marked should all belong to the same category, and they all point to the realm of spirit and mind...... To be clearer, they should mean 'control'. ”

"Control?"

"Or, channeling, suppressing, and influencing?"

There was a bit of uncertainty in Vicileen's tone, and she explained, "While I'm certain that Azif's Poems of the Night is a magical text disguised as a collection of deranged poems, I still don't know enough about it, and I can only confirm that in Azif's own classification, these patterns are likely to be used in magic and rituals like 'Psychic Interrogation'." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, according to what you said, we should be going to the vicinity of Overwatch City soon, right?" When I see the remnants of these rituals with my own eyes, I will be able to make a more accurate judgment. ”

"You seem calmer than I am."

Xiuge smiled bitterly: "This trip is not to participate in any academic seminars, nor is it to follow the army to advance steadily...... I'm afraid that Overwatch City has nothing to do with security and stability right now, and perhaps the Black Sun Society has already set a trap there, waiting for us to fall into the net. ”

"yes, I know."

Wei Lin picked up her cup, and after taking a sip of the sweetened refreshing drink, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction: "However, we may not have many choices to make now, right?" Even if it's just for the sake of cooperation between the Dawn Society and the Law Committee, we have to accept this somewhat risky plan, and besides, I don't think you are so resistant to it? ”

"Hah, maybe."

Shuge did not deny Wei Lin's speculation, he also took a small sip from the cup, and then frowned and complained: "It's still a little too much sugar......

"You can drink it without it."

Wei Lin rolled her eyes, and then put away the important materials on the table: "Put me here first, and then you shouldn't need to let me go up and read the speech, right?" If I do want to go to Saint-Stiel, then I have to do some preparations. ”

"Well, I'll leave those things to me next, and some of the affairs on the Legislative Committee's side will also be put away, if you can, you might as well pay more attention to the situation on Legel's side...... Now, the vast majority of people's attention is drawn to the attacks of the 'hounds', but the hidden dangers in the ocean have not disappeared, on the contrary, they are likely to cause more trouble when our eyes are distracted. ”

"I understand."

Wei Lin nodded, and she gave Xiuge a serious look, "However, your attitude towards the two of them seems to be slightly different?" ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"I have a clear sense that you are more hostile to the hounds, although you have killed the same sea beasts and monsters that emerge from the deep sea before, but you are clearly ...... when you talk about them With reservations. ”

In response to Wei Lin's question, Shug was silent for a few seconds, then he nodded and replied, "That's true. ”

"Why?"

"Because of the attitude and the ...... that both sides are in Status. ”

"In the presence of the black sun and these hounds, all I could feel was an irresolvable hostility, and a contempt of a superior hunter looking down on his prey, in which I saw no room for retreat or negotiation, and in the presence of these ruthless hunters and slayers, turning away or kneeling and begging for mercy would only bring my own vital weight to them. ”

"However, the beings in the oceans are completely different, and although they are on the opposite side of us and see us as enemies, there is clearly some room for maneuver, especially in their relationship with the Black Sun."

Shug held out a finger and pointed at his pupils, and Vireen immediately saw a black light and shadow surging up in his eyes.

Xiuge continued: "You should know a lot about these secrets on me...... I can tell you now that some of them, if not a great part, are related to the black sun, and as I try to use it to observe the creatures of the oceans, I find that the strange power they possess seems to conflict with the one I am using. ”

Wei Lin raised her eyebrows: "This means that the two of them are not on the same line?" There is even a high probability that they will be hostile to each other? ”

"Just a bold guess."

Xiuge removed the black light and shadow in his eyes: "Anyway, it's better to be willing to open your mouth to communicate than to just open your mouth and bite people, and look at it." ”

……

"Hang up all these new magic notices, fix them with the glue from the workshop, and don't get ripped off by some people."

"Don't worry, sir, we got some gadgets from the workshop...... Mr. Gerald said that if anyone tried to tear up the announcements in the middle of the night, the whole person would be glued straight to the wall! ”

"That's good, you pay more attention to it, someone should bring you hot soup later."

After seeing the Dawn Society's soldiers begin to fix the new magic announcement, Darswell left with a cigarette in his mouth, and there were several places to patrol.

Now, Darthville's arm is covered with bandages and splints, which are the result of the previous Hound attack - although Dustville was not the first target of the hounds, the scene was too chaotic, and it was unknown which soldier accidentally fired a shot, almost breaking Dustville's entire left arm, and it was thanks to the presence of a professional healer nearby that he was able to stabilize his injuries.

However, Darthwell had no sense of his injury, and he continued to follow his previous habit of patrolling the Dawn Society's premises, and if it weren't for the efforts of others to stop it, he would even want to go to a nearby town to see what was going on.

On the pier in the distance, huge crystalline spotlights continued to sweep across the calm sea, and whenever the night breeze blew, a slightly pungent smell appeared in the air, which was the breath left after the alchemy bomb exploded.

A vehicle responsible for transporting supplies for short distances within the garrison pulled aside, and then a figure emerged from the carriage, and even in the darkness of the night, the blonde hair was still very conspicuous.

"Ah, Miss Sally? Your presence here doesn't mean that there is some new news from Merlin and the side? ”

"Yes sir."

Sally walked quickly to Darthwell, and the "hitchhiker" she was riding in left directly, Sally opened the leather document bag she was carrying, took out a document that still smelled of heavy ink, and handed it to Darthwell.

Compared with the past, Sally has obviously changed a little more, she has finally begun to carry weapons with her, and a revolver rifle carried on her body has made her a little sharper and more mature.

"If you can, the teacher wants you to stay here a little longer, he's coming over and has something important to discuss with you in person."

Darswell dropped his cigarette and took the paper with his free hand, grumbling in his mouth, "Ah...... But I'm not done yet. ”

"If it's just a routine walk, let me do it."

Sally said very directly: "I am already very familiar with the work here, and I have carefully read the change plan of the station, so there should be no problem in doing it." ”

"Okay, then I'll be rare to be lazy, so that you young people can work a little more."

Darswell smiled, although he was always very serious on weekdays, but when facing his friend's female student, he always couldn't help but become gentle, this is no way to do it, in the Dawn Society, basically no one can have a face in front of such a studious, serious and responsible young girl.

Sally smiled brightly, reached out and took the passphrase from Darthwell, looked at it twice, and then walked over to Darthwell's side, deftly snatching the brand new box of cigarettes from his coat pocket.

"Huh?"

"Before leaving, your healing mage specifically reminded me to take your cigarettes away, and he said that you will continue smoking when your arms are free to move."

With that, Sally nodded politely to Darthwell, and then walked along the patrol path with a few other soldiers who were holding back their laughter.

In a matter of minutes, another car pulled up next to it, and Meyer's figure appeared in the dim light of the streetlight, and he saw Dustwell reading the document through the streetlight, and he walked forward with a smile.

Hearing footsteps, Dustwell looked up, he grinned and put the folder under his elbow, "Is there any smoke?" ”

"Don't worry, of course."

Soon, as a faint smoke drifted up, the two of them immediately entered a state of discussing business.

"The process of today's meeting is very smooth, especially the two bills put forward by our side, which are now in a state of passing...... The Merlin and Wattle militaries agreed to share intelligence resources to some extent, which would give us the opportunity to build a stronger and more extensive intelligence network. ”

Mayer leaned against the lamppost and looked at the sea in the distance: "The other bill was a little twisty when it was passed, but overall it went well. ”

"You mean the proposal to abandon some of the dangerous areas and gather the inhabitants of those areas?"

"Yes, that's it."

Mayer nodded: "The threat from the sea has made the Kingdom of Haine very sensitive in this matter, and they are very adamant to their own 'outpost' theory, believing that instead of gathering forces to stabilize the land defense line, they should take the initiative to explore and explore outward...... The experience of the Windless Fleet has given them a lot of confidence. ”

"They believe that since a fleet can break through the encirclement of those sea monsters with limited firepower, then a more powerful and professional navy will naturally be able to easily deal with any trouble that arises, and they even proposed that the fjord of the Sea Clan can be transformed into a frontier naval fortress."

"Tsk, bunch of idiots."

Darthwell criticized mercilessly: "Until now, have they been worried about their naval position? ”

"At least on the surface."

Meyer flicked some cigarette ash away: "The attitude of the Haynes towards this conference is so ambiguous that they even took the initiative to question our proposal, believing that we were hoping to expand our influence through this meeting, and questioned our attitude towards Saint-Stiel. ”

"Hmm...... If you think about it, there is nothing wrong with their suspicions, and Saint-Steele is part of our goal. ”

"Yes, and now, the opportunity has emerged to make that happen."

Meyer pulled out a new document and handed it to his friend: "There is a new change in the North, and it is likely to rekindle the war that was stopped before...... Only this time, the composition of the alliance will change, and we will have the opportunity to participate in it, so it's time to march and change our strongholds. ”
