"We're going to have to head north."

Perhaps because the topic of discussion was too important, after one cigarette burned out, the two people under the street lamp invariably lit the second one.

"Yes, to the northwest, to be exact...... In the direction of our hometown. ”

Meyer took off his hat and pressed it to his chest, and in the distance, the lights of the Aurora and the rest of the ships were still bright, and since the attack from the depths, the ships that had been temporarily used as coastal defenses and batteries had been in a state of readiness.

"Hometown, huh."

Darswell took a heavy drag on his cigarette and then slowly exhaled it, his hair already a little messy, so in the dim light of the moment, Darswell looked a little like the refugees who had gone away.

"In my memory, Saint-Steele is starting to lose all my mind, and I'm almost forgetting what my hometown is like......"

Leaning against the lamppost, Darthwell glanced at his friend beside him, and sighed, "And now, we need to take so many people who have nothing to do with Saint-Steele in that direction, and if the war starts again, or if some new calamity breaks out, there is a good chance that they will never return." ”

"To be honest, I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do to have one group of people move away from their homeland for the sake of another group of people's homeland and country."

He also looked at the Goddess of Dawn in the distance, which was draped in a layer of bright light: "Mayer, when we first came together, it wasn't entirely for the sake of these things. ”

"yes."

Meyer nodded in agreement, but then he added, "But at that time, we wouldn't have thought that Van would become like this, would we?" ”

As he spoke, he nodded to the document in Darthwell's hand, "On the flip side, Hugh sent us a brief letter from Merhrin Leho, emphasizing some of his views on the current situation, including his thoughts on the future direction of the Dawn Society. ”

While his friend was reading the letter, Meyer said slowly: "I fully agree with his point of view, although at first glance, our young comrade-in-arms's thoughts may be a little biased towards 'practical', but in this critical moment, practical is often the best, I know that you have more detailed and ambitious ideas for the future of Saint-Stihl and even the whole of Vann, but all this requires prerequisites." ”

Darswell's gaze quickly swept over the letter, and soon he saw the words that Hugg had written in the letter.

"I think the Dawn Society's primary goal at the moment should be aligned with the Legislature, Waterl, and many more of the nations and organizations in Vann - any ideals and ultimate goals should be based on the fact that Vann is still intact and civilization is still alive, which means that we need to focus our efforts on the fight against those terrible disasters."

"I know, I know......"

Darswell nodded, but his face showed a bit of loss: "And this is destined to be a long battle, we are not those long-lived elves, I am afraid we will not see the final result of this battle." ”

Mayer raised his hand and patted his friend on the shoulder, "So, I value Sally very much...... I'd love to see more young students like her, maybe when we change locations, we should try to start an academy and recruit more students? ”

"Ha, didn't I advise you about these things a long time ago?"

"It's not too late to think about it, is it?"

Mayer snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile: "These plans can be done by Felix's side first, he is also a young man, and he is better at dealing with other young people than us...... As for us, we still need to make some extra preparations before the official march. ”

"You mean the ocean? As he mentioned in the letter, I think this is a bit too absurd. ”

Darswell frowned, "He really thinks that those monsters in the ocean can come to some kind of agreement with us?" ”

"If the Black Sun poses a serious threat to them as well, then I think there is a chance that this idea will come true...... Even if there is no way to co-opt them as allies, they will be able to maintain peace for at least a certain period of time. ”

Meyer spoke his thoughts: "Remember what Gerald and the others had in the lab before? These beings in the sea are able to connect their powers and minds, and until now, there were several 'captives' living in tanks in our laboratories...... If we want to inform them of peace talks, it should be very easy, depending on what they think. ”

"Ahh

Dustwell threw the cigarette butt on the ground in annoyance and stomped it out, "Hopefully, they'll be able to look at us without looking at us with food or enemies, I don't want to rely on guns and magic again, it's too tiring." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again, trying to find Meyer to get a cigarette, but this time, Meyer stuffed the cigarette box into his pocket: "When the words are finished, the cigarette is gone...... In my opinion, you should listen to the doctors, anyway, it's a minor injury, bear with me! ”

"I think you're the one who thinks too 'practical'!"

The two laughed and scolded each other, and then walked in the same direction, they were still talking, and Meyer's previous "finished talking" was just an ordinary joke.

On the crystalline street lamp where the two had just stayed, a brand-new poster for the promotion of the Dawn Society was slowly fluttering with the night breeze.

And on top of this poster, the latest flag logo of the Dawn Society has been added.

Led by Gerasimov, the previous painter who painted a huge magical painting on the Torch, the logo became simple and special after absorbing contributions from many members of the Dawn Society, as well as incorporating suggestions from Shuge.

It was round, and the frame looked like the huge gears of the heavy steam and alchemy machinery, except that the thick frame of the gears was also depicted with many small magical patterns.

In the round frame, there are several crossed and overlapping patterns.

The first is a standard revolving rifle, slender and stable, running from the lower left corner of the logo to the top right.

In the center is a very classic style of Demonic Silver Sword, with the hilt facing upwards and the blade pointing downwards.

On the right, corresponding to the revolver rifle motif, are tools that represent craftsmen in different fields at the same time, with a wrench on one end and a hammer on the other to strike the parts.

Underneath these three overlapping motifs is an unfolded tome that represents not only the magicians, but also scholars in almost all fields.

These patterns are not the whole story.

Just like the other flags and patterns that have been magically treated in Van's, the Dawn Society's letter logo will show more details after being gazed at for a long time, and some fishermen have been pleasantly surprised to find that when they have been staring at this symbol for a while, they will find that there will be faint ripples of water waves under those few conspicuous patterns.

Some of the farmers discovered that in the blank space above the sign there was a huge pattern of a mill windmill, which was their symbol.

Xiuge, who was far away in Merlin Lehe, probably wouldn't have imagined that the idea he had casually put forward before could really be successfully realized with the use of magic drawings, and that there were really so many details and secrets hidden in this small sign.

……

Far away in the snowfields of the North, Merlin Lehe has become a large and efficient machine.

When the Legislative Committee successfully completed a rough alliance framework with the help of a group of deep-sea mages, the originally somewhat protracted meeting immediately ushered in a comprehensive speed-up, and all proposals that clearly pointed to the interests of individual countries were eliminated from the meeting outline by the Legislative Committee in the most direct way, and the participants who put forward these "useless proposals" were immediately reprimanded by the Legislative Committee.

The first to bear the brunt is the Kingdom of Hain.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Haien Kingdom is very eager to use this opportunity to further consolidate its maritime supremacy in the Van En, and even those who have been isolated from secular government affairs for a long time can clearly perceive the intentions of the Haien Kingdom.

However, in this matter, Xiuge personally did not resist so much.

In the current situation, Van En definitely needs a strong enough naval force, of course, this force must not be simply controlled by a country or an organization, in the face of unknown threats in the sea and sky, it needs to show a sufficiently solid, effective and long-term deterrence, and more importantly, it must be stable enough, the blade of this sword must not be pointed at Van En himself, let alone be used in internal fighting.

For these things, Xiuge believes that those shrewd people in the Law Committee must also know very well, at least Master Edmund's hidden existence behind the Law Committee is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

It is not only the issues on the agenda that are on the agenda that are starting to pick up speed, but also a series of resolutions that have already been adopted and are beginning to be formally implemented.

Among them, at the top of the list is naturally the special society dedicated to ancient creations and magic.

"We can be sure that the 'sorcery' that we used to talk about has become a huge rock in front of us, and if we don't want to be crushed by this boulder with Fan, we must show the spirit and attitude with which we delved into those problems, use our knowledge as a tool, and smash it before it runs over, or simply carve a path on this damn stone that will allow us to pass!"

"I am well aware that all of you here may come from different countries and organizations, or you may belong to different societies or mage towers, but I hope that when you come here, you will be able to put aside the restrictions and constraints imposed on you by these statuses...... You will be the first members of the Vann Magical Society, mind you, not Merlinle, not the Legislature, not any other nation. ”

"We have Vann as our name, and everything we do here, whether it is academic research or cooperation or quarrels, is only for the sake of Vann and the future of all its inhabitants."

"I hope you will take it to heart."

In charge of this important lecture was none other than Professor Joan, the second head of the emergency office who had a previous relationship with Xiuge, a steady, highly qualified magician with a wealth of academic research experience, who had been relieved of his original responsibilities and became the general manager of this new society under the supervision of those deep-sea mages.

Almost everyone voted in favor of such an arrangement.

It may be inevitable that these mages and scholars will have such and such opinions about Merlin Lehe today, but when those important deep-sea mages also appeared in this speech, their enthusiasm was completely ignited.

"Maximize the progress of research, maximize the sharing of resources and intelligence, and maximize tolerance of research methods."

And when these three "maximums", which symbolize the purpose of the "Vann Magic Society", were proposed, people were even more dumbfounded.

But in any case, the establishment of this special and large magical society can be regarded as the beginning of a new era.

At the same time, Merlinlehe issued a proclamation to the whole of Van En that from this day onwards, the "Kather" year, which originally symbolized prosperity and development, came to an end, and the "Black Sun" year, named after the shadow of the catastrophe overhead, officially began.

This circular, Merlin-le-Le and likewise sent one in the direction of Saint-Steele.

The implication has naturally caused a lot of speculation among ordinary people.

Shuge walked out of the venue, and in the center of the square in the distance, the huge "Kather" calendar tablet had been covered with a heavy flannel cloth, and soon it would be removed and sent to the Great Memorial Hall of Merinleho.

"Ahem."

A soft cough came from behind, and Xiuge turned his head, only to see Wei Lin sending a small flannel bag to Xiuge: "I'm afraid there will be no shortage of badges to wear in the future, don't leak this." ”

Shug took the cloth bag and poured the metal badge inside into his palm.

"It's really done......"

He looked at this special badge with a strange style and faintly exuding a magical luster, and his expression became a little subtle for a moment.

Wei Lin secretly observed Xiuge's eyes, and then she noticed that there seemed to be some distant and vague enthusiasm hidden in Xiuge's seemingly calm gaze, and he just stared at the pattern wrapped in a frame of gears, and even seemed a little greedy.
