In the eyes of these people who were busy arguing, the Dawn Society and Meyer's status was still relatively limited.

Although this emerging organization has shown its extraordinary vitality and potential in the past period, and has even established a legion of its own, in the eyes of those veteran politicians, the so-called Dawn Society is nothing more than a pawn that the Legislative Committee chooses to support in order to balance the situation.

Even, there are many people who believe that the Dawn Society is just a bunch of unlucky people who have been used by the Law Committee to hold the unrealistic idea of the restoration of St. Steele.

It is precisely for this reason that when they put forward the idea of "handing over Shug Ernst", they did not even show much respect for the representatives of the Dawn Society present, and even when they spoke, they would look at the representatives of the Legislative Committee more preferentially, as if the attitude of these mages was already equivalent to the attitude of the Dawn Society.

Therefore, after Mayer coughed heavily, the number of people willing to pay attention to him was still very limited, seeing this scene, Meyer shook his head silently, and then he sighed sharply, and suddenly reached out and took a heavy stack of books and papers from the assistant beside him, and his arm suddenly rose and fell hard.

As a result, an extremely down-to-earth "muffled sound" interrupted almost everyone's conversation in an instant.

Meyer's force was so great that even a small part of the pile of papers was out of his grasp, flying straight into the air or beyond.

The officials who had been arguing fiercely with Darthville and the other members of the Dawn Society looked at Meyer with fierce eyes, but they had just spoken, and before they could speak, they heard the "very impolite" head of the Dawn Society say to the old Veka not far away: "Professor Weka, if these gentlemen from Hayne and Deresa want to accuse me of being rude and rude, then I will ask your permission in advance - so that I can slap these documents directly in their faces." ”

When this sentence came out, some of the cluttered sounds that remained before also disappeared.

It's not that the people present really gave Meyer this face, but because Meyer's tone and wording are really bad now, and his hand is pressing on the pile of papers that have just been smashed on the table, as if as long as Veka on the side nods, he will take action immediately.

No one wants to have a real conflict with someone else at such a moment, in such a place, after all, it is a "very shameful" thing.

Old Veka waved his hand very helplessly, he slowly got up from his position, his eyes swept over the entire venue, and a helpless and bitter smile appeared on his face: "Everyone present must have heard what the messenger of that group said...... The more I felt that those words were correct, because we were really good at arguing. ”

At this, he laughed twice, and seeing that Mayer had returned to the seat assigned to the members of the Dawn Society, he continued, "Okay, the people who have really talked to those 'Visitors from the Deep' have come to us, let's talk about it, what are your opinions?" ”

As he spoke, Veka's gaze had drifted to the few scholars of the Vann Magical Society who were standing aside.

Legel's big nose is now red, which is a sign of his nervousness and lack of confidence.

If it were to talk about academic issues, he would now have the confidence to stand in front of such people and talk eloquently, but the question that was thrown up now was really a bit tricky.

This is because the information sent by the messengers of the deep sea community does not affect the plans and arrangements that the multiple forces may implement next, but a question that directly involves the basis of cognition.

i.e. the question of the definition of the goddess Mel and the world of Vann today.

No one would be brave enough to speak directly about this kind of topic in front of so many loyal members of the Legislative Committee, it would be too subtle and dangerous.

"Mr. Legel, don't worry about that...... What we are talking about now is the relationship between these guests of the deep sea and the Black Sun Society and the Black Sun, and the strategies we might adopt. ”

When Old Veka said these words, his eyes also fell on the casters in the hall who were extremely devout to the belief in the goddess of magic, which was an invisible reminder and warning.

Now, if any idiot jumps out of the blue, there's a good chance that they'll drag the conversation into that dangerous and meaningless quagmire.

Scholar Legel took two deep breaths before he spoke, "Professor Wecca, and everyone in this room...... Just now, the Vann Magical Society has come to a preliminary conclusion, combined with the research results and information in our hands, we believe that these ancient things in the deep sea are indeed very likely to be on the opposite side of the Black Sun and the Black Sun Society. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, there was an immediate commotion in the venue, and a considerable number of people did not have a good impression of these marine communities who worshipped the so-called god of the sea, Calron, and directly slandered and attacked the goddess Meier, let alone any basis for trust, so they immediately resisted the judgment of Legel and other scholars.

Legel ignored this.

He gritted his teeth and continued, "Our judgment is clearly grounded...... We have studied a large number of samples from the fleet of the Windless, as well as the kingdoms of Hain and the Duchy of Boult, and have carefully compared them with the ancient magic that we have in our possession that originated in the Black Sun Society. ”

"We are convinced that the forces that come from the deep sea are purer and closer to the magic we normally discuss, and not only that, but within these samples we have found many lines and models of magic that can be used with healing magic and rituals...... At least in terms of their own power, they are not lying, they are indeed very 'pure' and have nothing to do with so-called 'witchcraft'! ”

Hearing this, some of the skeptical people fell silent for a while, but an official from the Principality of the Sea stood up and asked in a cold voice, "So, how does Mr. Legle think the attack on the Windless fleet and those coastal towns by these 'pure' monsters should be explained?" Is it because we are so filthy that we deserve to be cleaned up by these 'pure' things? ”

As he said this, the official even glanced in Meyer's direction.

Because he knew that the Dawn Society's station had also been attacked, but because the Dawn Society had set up a defensive line in advance, this dangerous sneak attack was finally turned into a beautiful defensive battle by them.

"I think I can answer your question in the place of Mr. Leger."

Meyer slowly got up, his face calm and well-behaved, as if he had not been the one who had done the "rude" act before.

The official of the Duchy swallowed, for some reason, he was always a little afraid of this middle-aged scholar with a gentle face and somewhat sparse hair.

Meyer smiled at the official, and then said, "The Dawn Society has had contact and dialogue with these 'guests' of the deep sea more than once, and I am fortunate to have personally participated in several of them. ”

"When we first came into contact with them, the will to speak to us was haughty, confident, and hostile, and as Your Excellency said, they did see us as inferior beings at that time, and tried to threaten and extinguish us with their power...... This attitude is likely to be related to their past experiences and to the Black Sun Society, which was the first to come into contact with them. ”

"The second time, Mr. Schug Ernst, who visited Merlinleho on behalf of us at the Dawn Society, encountered them again in the fleet of the Windless, and I think it is clear to you that they are still arrogant and cold, trying to wipe out an entire fleet above the surface of the sea."

"As a result, it is clear to all that while we may not be able to directly confront them in terms of pure magic and vitality, if we deal with it properly, we can tear through their encirclement and inflict heavy damage on them with all kinds of weapons, ships, and magic."

Meyer looked at the others, "This is actually very important, because the beasts who are fighting with us are not just beasts who know how to kill, they are both powerful and intelligent, and they are capable of careful planning and rational judgment - they are aware of the changes in Vann now, and they are aware of the many threats we may pose to them, so there is a series of attacks that follow, and that is the temptation they have launched. ”

"Or, we should call this process 'observation'...... As with our research on them, they are clearly actively learning about the conditions in this strange world, and it is these foundations that have led to this meeting. ”

Old Veka looked at Meyer seriously, he nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked: "Then, Mr. Mayer, as a person who has communicated with them so many times, what do you think we should do with this possible negotiation?" ”

With the question raised, Weka, representing the Law Committee, has already made his position clear.

And this also opened up enough space for Meyer's next speech.

"There are all kinds of indications that the relationship between us so-called 'land walkers' and them is by no means one high and one low, and if we want to have real negotiations and try to get as many favorable conditions as possible for the future, then we must recognize our 'status'."

"They've been fighting against other ancient gods and the Black Sun since time immemorial, which means there's a good chance the Black Sun Society has found the wrong ally—the tactics and ongoing talks of the colony are the best proof of that after those attacks."

"As for the idea of 'satisfying the other side's conditions' in exchange for peace or alliance, in my opinion, this is definitely not a choice that should arise in an equal negotiation, but more like a wag of the tail of the defeated or a surrenderer."

Meyer squinted his eyes at the Hain officials on the side: "Of course, if you really have this idea, you can also try to betray Mr. Ernst's information or simply send someone to arrest him." ”

At this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his calm face: "My personal suggestion is that before making these decisions, you may wish to ask the other passengers who have flown on the Windless and the survivors of Salem City to find out what kind of person Mr. Ernst is." ”

……

"Hmmm......"

Xiuge, who had just become the "young core of the association" and the "rising star of the watchcity", left the meeting along the long staircase.

The night breeze blew, which made his nose itch a little.

The "sharp-beaked" officers who had followed him to the rally were walking beside them in a daze, and they also accepted the large number of hints imposed by the Black Sun Secret Ritual at the rally site, which inevitably caused a considerable degree of mental impact to ordinary people.

It will take some time for them to fully recover from these shocks.

Of course, under this fragile shell of belief in ancient gods and loyalty to the Black Sun Society, there are already those thoughts and beliefs that Xiuge has buried, and then, as long as Xiuge wants to, he can bring these officers to their senses at any time.

The events of this night had given Hug a new appreciation for Theseus' ability to plot behind the scenes, and he did deserve his own title, and he was a bit ...... in the use of these intrigues and schemes Too "excellent".

Or rather, Theseus has been fond of this dangerous plan on the brink of extinction since that long time ago, as evidenced by Mel's "expulsion" of Charon at the time.

In contrast, his instigation of Xiuge to tamper with the ritual and use it to 'brainwash' the officers was a bit too easy.

It's even a bit like it's a joke.

However, Hug did not ignore Theseus's exhaustion in the process, and it was clear that the eccentric deity was likely to go through a series of troubles after using violence to directly destroy the huge dome erected by the Black Sun Society in Overwatch.

Shug was now curious about these things, but he could not immediately return to his lodgings and ask Theseus further through his dreams, because just below the stairs stood a plump figure waiting for him.

“……”

Shuge stared at the figure for two seconds, frowning, and then he turned his head and said to the sharp-mouthed officers who were groggily following him, "Go ahead, you all go back to the mine...... Tell the others that I'll be back later and have important business to attend to. ”

Hearing these words, the dizzy officers instinctively glanced up at the figure by the steps not far away, then at the baron in front of them, then nodded thoughtfully, and left.

Although their heads are not clear, they also understand that the baron is afraid that he will have to be "busy" for a while tonight.
