In the eyes of the members of the Black Sun Society and the soldiers, this young baron, who still has some of the aura of the royal family of Saint-Steele, has done a series of things that are in line with his identity perfectly.

This includes, but is not limited to, showing contempt for the lowly miners, speaking ill of everyone around them, trying to use one of their followers as a target for a gun, and of course, revealing the amazing "miracles" they possess in public.

After perfectly confirming all the stereotypes of the members of the Black Sun Society about Baron Fiorlando with his words and deeds, some doubts that had arisen because he did not travel with the troops were completely erased.

In this process, the Black Sun Ritual in the Rock Lake Mine has always maintained normal operation, and when Baron Fiorlando shows his power near the Secret Rite, a faint black glow will even appear on the sculpture of the Secret Ritual, which means that the Black Sun Secret Ritual is in a state of complete acceptance of the Baron.

That's even more of a lack of urgency.

Since there really wasn't any problem with the takeover of the mine, everything here should have gone according to plan, and in the afternoon, the Black Sun Society Mage, who had caused a great sense of oppression to the workers of the Rock Lake Mine, left with his subordinates.

The miners in the mine were apprehensive about this change.

As St. Stilles, they could certainly recognize the royal family in Baron Fiorlando, but now, the royal family of St. Stille has lost its unique sacred nature among the people of the North, especially for those who are still loyal to the goddess of fire and magic in their hearts, the so-called royal blood is just a symbol of traitor status.

Moreover, the baron's behaviour when he arrived at the mine was unconvincing, and the tyrannical and capricious state of the miners was extremely disturbing, and they saw that the poor maid had done nothing, and was scolded by the baron for just passing by, and was almost whipped......

He's so his minions, what about his unrelated miners?

Maybe he will also choose to secretly kill a few people in the middle of the night to establish his power?

The miners didn't dare to think about it, and soon the fierce overseers appeared in front of them, and in the face of the sticks in the hands of the overseers and the crystalline guns pinned to their waists, the workers finally chose to return to the mine where they worked silently.

Some of the nimble workers deliberately fell behind, and while others were not looking, they looked carefully in the direction of the new baron, and then they found that Baron Fiorlando was now looking in the direction of the Watch City, and it seemed as if he was staring at the black cloud that hung over the Watch City.

This behavior made the workers even more anxious.

As far as they knew, the members of the Black Sun Society, as well as the followers of the ancient faith, seemed to have taken the dark cloud above Overwatch City as a sign of shame, and the Baron's concern for this phenomenon was probably a sign of his loyalty to the Black Sun Society.

At this time, Baron Fiorlando looked so gloomy, so except for the overseer who had the courage to send him the management records and list of the mines, no one else dared to rush forward to disturb him.

Fortunately, it was not long before the baron walked with heavy steps into the house which had been arranged for him, much to the relief of all who were present, whether the workers, the soldiers, or the overseers.

The Rock Lake Mine was restored to its former appearance, the heavy machinery began to operate, and one after another small mine carts drove along the railroad tracks into the mine, and then slowly drove out from the other end of the mine, and the crystalline ore with a strange light was screened and sorted into different warehouses, and was sorted by special personnel.

After the black sun had risen, these crystalline ores had become more and more unstable, and it was no exaggeration to say that the warehouses used to store ores, especially large quantities of high-quality crystalline ores, were no different from those dangerous alchemy bomb warehouses, and even with the protection of multiple magical rituals, accidents still happened from time to time.

This situation is not unique to the kingdom of St. Steele, it is already a common situation in all parts of Van Grace, but under the brutal pressure exerted by the Black Sun Society, the miners in the north seem even more miserable and humble.

Xiuge has seen a lot of similar scenes along the way.

The situation in Saint-Steele was not optimistic, and this situation was known to Schug much earlier.

Bitter wars, regime changes, and disillusionment...... The continued domination of the Black Sun Society and the long-term effects of the Black Sun Rising make it impossible for a nation to survive even the most solid foundation in the face of these terrible tribulations.

As Shog tries to enter the kingdom of St. Steele, he has seen many northern residents trying to flee, but now, they have missed the best time to escape, and as the Black Sun Society's control over the border continues to strengthen, most of these refugees will be captured and controlled when trying to cross the dangerous zone, and even worse, they will be killed on the spot by the Society guards who patrol the border, or mercilessly slaughtered by those strange monsters.

Of course, the Black Sun Society knew what kind of means they were using now, and in Xiuge's opinion, their thinking was actually very clear.

Since normal methods of rule and management are difficult to achieve in the current situation, they simply use the most extreme and thorough methods, using magical rituals to forcibly change the thinking of ordinary people, and implant those incomprehensible ancient beliefs directly into their spiritual world.

Exclude opponents as much as possible, either assimilate them or eliminate them altogether.

Their idea was to use the most direct means to transform the whole of Saint-Steele into a territory capable of supporting the activities of the Black Sun Society in the shortest possible time, and that was why they had such a special ceremony.

As one of the first to infiltrate St. Steele, he has changed his identity several times along the way, sometimes as a member of the Black Sun Society, sometimes as a local hunter or farmer.

In Vann, Shug is one of the very few beings who does not serve the Black Sun Society, but is able to mobilize the magic of the Abyss to the greatest extent, so he has to take on the important role of team leader.

While making decisions about the situation in front of you, you use your abilities to lead this multi-force team around the detection of the Black Sun Secret Instrument and those troublesome strongholds and outposts.

Their task is heavy.

Before war breaks out again, they need to find a way to re-establish an entire intelligence network in Saint-Steele, and search for as many spies and spies as possible who have been scattered in the north.

Too little is known about the Black Sun Formation and the strange magic they wield, and they are desperate to find out what is happening in St. Steele, including the dark dome that has enveloped many important towns, and of course, the black arc of light that has appeared for some reason and destroyed the dome of Overwatch.

Before leaving, Xiuge had been repeatedly tested by those deep-sea mages many times, and they always felt that since Xiuge could control these ancient lost magic to a certain extent, he should naturally know more of its secrets

However, it is impossible for Theseus to reveal the existence of Theseus to the outside world anyway, not to mention that until now, he has not been able to see this guy again, since that black arc of light destroyed the dome blockade of Overwatch City, Theseus has disappeared directly, and Silke has not been able to find any kind of message or message in the dream shelter, let alone ask this guy about it.

After stepping into the land of Saint-Styr, Shogue even had a bad premonition.

He always felt as if something had happened to Theseus, or that he was in some difficult trouble, otherwise he should never have played missing in the current situation, with the kind of clarity he had shown before.

"Could it be that this guy is being hunted down by the entire Abyss Palace?"

Hug looked at the face in the mirror that belonged to Baron Fiorlando, and for a moment he was stunned.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and coughed lightly.

Everyone in the room, whether it was a maid, a maid, or a guard with weapons, all looked in the direction of Xiuge for the first time, and the head maid who had been ruthlessly "scolded" by Xiuge before quickly raised her hand, and in the next moment, the precise magic lines immediately blocked the entire room, so that all the conversations that happened here could not be leaked.

After making sure nothing was missing, the "bad-looking" and taciturn head maid turned and nodded at Shuge.

So Xiuge nodded and said to everyone present: "Thank you for your hard work, we still need to act according to the predetermined plan...... We can't dismantle the Black Sun Society's secret ritual just yet, and I still have to make sure it works properly for the rest of the day, so be careful when moving around. ”

"Of course I understand what you say, sir."

A spy from the Deresan Kingdom dressed as a servant said with a smile, "I just wanted to ask if we can consider removing these camouflage techniques now that those people from the Black Sun Society have left, and the remaining soldiers and overseers don't know us." ”

He touched his face with some embarrassment, adding, "It feels so bad, I feel like my face is covered in a sticky mud, and I can't breathe!" ”

"Endure it for two days, endure it for two more days."

Shug smiled and said, "I'm sure I'm not going to let you sleep with camouflage magic all the time, and I can guarantee that you'll be able to get back to your original state before the soldiers of that battalion arrive here." ”

"Are you sure?"

The head maid spoke, and from that mouth came out of Viline's voice: "I remember that we confirmed once before that the so-called 'Sharp-beaked Owl' shooter battalion is simply a private soldier recruited by Fiorlando himself, these people are very familiar with the followers beside Fiorlando, and once we come into contact with them, even if there is camouflage magic as a cover, it is very easy to expose." ”

"Yes, so I suggest that you simply remove your disguise and contact them with a new identity, and as for the specific words and countermeasures, I will help you arrange them."

Speaking of this, Xiuge clapped his hands lightly: "As for the next two days, I still need to continue to work hard for you to act as my 'villain''s entourage, how is today, what will happen next." ”

"Including whipping your 'head maid'?"

A Wattle agent disguised as an armed escort joked, "I'm really worried that whip will suddenly spontaneously combust...... It's easy to do this, isn't it? ”

"Huh."

Wei Lin, who was wearing the face of the maid, sneered and did not continue to talk.

Everything is back on track, and these people, men and women, regardless of nationality, are definitely elites from different fields, and they are well aware of the importance of the current operation - once the plan is successfully implemented, they will not only be able to successfully establish a new intelligence base near Overwatch, but also have the opportunity to directly penetrate the inner workings of the Black Sun Society, find out their behavior and habits, and even find out their important secrets.

The simple joke was just a bitter pleasure to regulate the mood and atmosphere, and after the joke, everyone re-entered their role, and no one would want to make a mistake at such a critical juncture, after all, they are now in the sphere of influence of the Black Sun Society, and the slightest omission may attract endless pursuits.

"The temporary communication secret device has been prepared and can be used at any time."

"The Isolation Ritual Arena is also ready...... However, the operation time must not exceed half an hour at a time, otherwise there will be a risk of exposure. ”

Xiuge, who heard the report, nodded, he turned around, and ordered, "It's about to be the scheduled communication time, and you're ready to send out a codeword...... We're going to at least tell the rear that everything is going well, and I'll take care of the Black Sun Secret Ceremony, but only for half an hour. ”

So, Xiuge adjusted his state, put on the cold expression that all of Van En owed him money, and pushed the door out like this.

The overseers in the mine looked curiously in the direction of the baron, and then they saw that the Baron Fiorlando, who had just arrived in the mine, walked step by step in the direction of the Black Sun Secret Ritual, and in the process, his expression gradually changed from cold and mean to calm and reverent, and when he came to the huge strange secret ritual sculpture, he actually knelt down directly despite the dust and dirt on the ground.

He lowered his black wooden cane and pressed his hands tightly to the bottom of the Black Sun Ritual as a gloomy black light flashed across his body.

Baron Fiorlando now seems to have become a messenger or saint listening to the voice of his deity.
