More than half a month has passed since the night when Xiuge completely lost his news.

In the past half a month, Giustina's usual rest time has begun to be extended.

In many cases, Justina will even spend most of the day sleeping, and it can even be said that she only wakes up when she needs to eat, and after eating some crystals with high concentrations of magical power, she will immediately fall into a deep sleep.

"Hmm......"

A slight sound came from the wooden box, the sound was a little muffled, and it was clear that Justina was still asleep and unconscious.

Seeing Justina's appearance, Wei Lin shook her head helplessly, she bent down, and with the cooperation of the mage's hand, slowly took the "little guy" out of the wooden box.

In fact, it is difficult for Justina to be called "little one" anymore.

Her size has grown so dramatically that when she slumps, she even takes over the small half of the table, and her translucent body now becomes deeper, always reminding Verin of the immaculate black gems that have passed through the incomparably expensive way.

Seeing that Justina was always groggy, Wei Lin had no choice but to reluctantly put the crystal in her hand in front of Justina's body, feeling the imminence of the magic, Justina quickly reacted, only to see her slowly crawl forward a few steps, and then extremely lazily pressed her body against the crystal.

Now she is too lazy to even eat.

Watching Justina slowly extract the magic from the crystal, Willin watched worriedly, and she fetched a chair and sat down in front of Justina, placing her hand on her round head with two cat ears on top of it.

"Mom."

Justina let out a faint grunt, and she loved the gentle touch and touch so much that it made her feel like she was being cared for and cared for.

Verin replied softly, then shoved a few more magic crystals to Justina, and when she saw that she was starting to eat aggressively, she asked, "Your father...... What's the news? ”

"Nope."

Justina soaks up the magic and replied in a thin voice, "But...... But I've been dreaming a lot lately, well, and I've been dreaming about my father all the time. ”

"Dreaming of him?"

Wei Lin raised her eyebrows, and there was a sudden brightness in her tired eyebrows.

As a senior mage scholar, she knows very well that the magic link is not only an invisible channel used to transmit magic, but also a silk thread connecting the will and soul of both parties, as long as this thin line is not broken, then even if one of them is isolated for various reasons, the other party can still receive some fragments and messages, and dreams are an important carrier to carry these fragments.

"Come, tell me, what have you dreamed about?"

"It's ...... Confusion, I can't tell, I can't figure it out. ”

Justina's ears twitched slightly, and she tilted her head, revealing the glow of magic and some misaligned lines in her translucent body that resembled some of the strange words in the Poem of the Night.

After all this time together, Verin already knew that this was a manifestation of Justina's struggled to think, so she quieted down and waited patiently for the other party's answer.

After a long while, the magic light in Justina's body gradually dimmed, and the magic crystals that she used as food turned into useless powder, so two soft tentacles stretched out from her body and shook at Verin twice: "Still hungry......"

This pitiful appearance amused Vicine, who had never been in the habit of withholding the child's rations, so she took a few more crystals and stuffed them into Justina.

Justina, who had been rewarded, became happy, slowly shaking her body to incorporate these delicious foods that exuded strong magical powers, and then she said, "In my dream, I went to a cold place...... It's colder than the place where it snowed all the time. ”

"I've seen plains, plains piled up with bones, empty, storms in the distance, and some terrible shadows."

"I also heard a lot of strange roars, they were hungry, they wanted to eat but couldn't find their prey, they had to search in the dark......"

Justina pondered for a moment with each utterance, and it was clear that the dream information she had received was so fragmentary that she had to try to assemble and organize it.

Fortunately, although Justina still instinctively relies on Verin, she has actually completely escaped the ignorance of the past, and the wisdom and memories hidden in her body are reviving at a rapid rate, which also gives her the ability to process complex information.

If Xiuge himself was here, he would have been extremely surprised.

Because the pictures that are now being retold by Giustina are clearly what he has seen and heard since he entered the Abyss Wasteland, perhaps the order of these pictures will be a little confusing, but overall there is nothing wrong.

"I also saw ...... Well, the rat, the big, black rat, but it's not as scary as the other monsters......"

"Mouse?"

Wei Lin raised her eyebrows, she could be said to be very sensitive to this word, and the first thing that came to mind was the strange summon named "Snikki" by Shuge, so she hurriedly asked about the details.

"Hmm...... Several times, I saw it running with me, and it seemed to be very fast, but it felt a little slow...... I don't understand, but I know it doesn't hurt me, it's friendly to me, it's just that I don't know exactly where I'm going. ”

In Justina's staccato statements, the magic ink pen floating beside Verin kept swiping across her notebook, and soon she was able to record all of Justina's descriptions, and even sort and categorize them according to her own judgment.

By the time the conversation was over, the notebook had been densely packed with pages, and the time had come to the middle of the night.

After taking two more high-quality magic crystals as a reward for Justina, Vicin carried her into her exclusive "bedroom" from her drowsiness, and instead of resting, she made herself an unsweetened refreshment and sat down at her desk, beginning to study what she had just recorded.

As one of the few scholars in the world of Vann who has done in-depth research on the "Poem of the Night" and has come up with certain results, Verin has developed her own set of judgments about certain words, sentences, and descriptions, in fact, while Justina is still busy retelling those chaotic dreams, Verine has already noticed the elements and details in it.

Verine can be sure that the scenes depicted by Justina can basically find a counterpart in the poems of the mad poet Azif.

Although there are inevitably some deviations between the two, they are generally convergent, especially some of the characteristics and basic rules of the "cold world" depicted by Justina, which can be found in the first two chapters of "Poetry of the Night".

It is impossible to recognize the passage of time, as if the creatures in it are always capable of having an infinite lifespan.

It is difficult to discern space, and you can only act according to your perception and intuition, but the end result is disorientation.

Cold, dark, desperate and oppressive, but for the twisted hunters, such a world is a paradise.

It looks like a chaotic sludge, but in the faint way, there is another strange rule that is beyond the ability of ordinary people to understand.

After thinking for a moment, Verin carefully wrote the name of Shuge on the paper, and then she drew a circle on the name, associating it with a straight line with the fragmentary records next to it.

Verine was almost certain that a significant portion of Justina's dreams would have come from Shog herself.

If nothing else, he'd probably be riding that big rat right now, groping his way through the terrible world where Azifu had been.

It's hard to tell if this is good news or bad news.

She believed in Shuge's abilities, and in the unknown powers and missions he carried, but at the end of the day, what he needed to face now was a terrifying world full of hostility and threats, and he might be lost, or he might be trying to find a way out, or maybe he might even be hunted down by those terrible monsters......

But no matter what, he is definitely still alive, and the magical connection between him and Justina still exists, although there is no way for the two sides to communicate and contact directly, but now, Verin is able to obtain the general situation of Xiuge through those dreams of Justina.

In the exaggerated high pressure and extreme depression, such news is enough to lift Wei Lin's spirits.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, as if noticing the light in the room, and the visitor paused at the door, and then knocked on the door.

Wei Lin got up and opened the door, outside the door was the secret agent who had picked up the letter from Wei Lin before, and when he saw Wei Lin appear, he smiled apologetically, and then handed an envelope to Wei Lin: "The others haven't slept either, ma'am, the letter you want has been processed, you can see if there is anything that needs to be modified...... I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. ”

After exchanging hard words, Willin returned to the desk with the letter.

The member of the stronghold in charge of this matter has a lot of experience in forging letters, and is also proficient in many local dialects and many different styles of handwriting.

The handwriting still has the delicate strokes that are characteristic of women, but there are many typos, and a large number of words have been replaced by local colloquialisms, and in some places even two slang sentences have been added to make a joke.

The letter paper was replaced with a sheet of oiled paper with visible creases, which was always used to wrap large pieces of hard bread in the villages of Saint-Steele, and was the most commonly used letter paper by the villagers, with a slight stain of blood and animal oil on the edges.

Everything is so natural.

It's like an ordinary letter taken directly from a country hunter's house.

However, in fact, the information contained in these words is extremely complex and dangerous, and the meaning they carry is incomparably significant.

After the Overwatch incident, the Black Sun Society's control of the magical communication secret instrument has risen several steps, and they have not only begun to use magic rituals to block all unregistered magic communication, but also used lost magic to summon a group of strange ancient clans, this kind of strange creatures similar to adults, but with the appearance of giant floaters, are extremely sensitive to fluctuations in magical power, and although they are very fragile themselves, they always capture the slight vibrations caused by the operation of the communication secret device.

As a result, the spies and spies scattered throughout the kingdom of St. Steele had to abandon the important rituals in favor of more austere, primitive, but also more secure means of communication.

In the absence of error, the letter will be subjected to multiple scrutiny by the scribes of St. Steele and the mages of the Black Sun Society, along with the letters sent by other rear residents to the front-line soldiers, and after confirming that there are no problems, it will be sent to the various strongholds and barracks by full-time personnel, and delivered under the supervision of the members of the association.

There are even spot checks on soldiers who receive letters.

However, in those strongholds on the front line of St. Steele, some members of the Dawn Society have been successfully infiltrated, and their goal is to act as a flexible transit point, using all means to relay these secret information from the rear.

At a time when the situation is escalating, such a task is no different from going to the death.

But in any case, the letter had to be successfully delivered.

This seemingly rambling letter contains the locations of a number of artillery positions that need to be suppressed, the general direction of the movements of several St. Steele regiments and the Black Sun Society, and the current situation of a group of intelligence officers.

Wei Lin was sure that as long as this letter was successfully delivered to the Dawn Society, it would definitely attract the attention of Meyer and other leaders at the highest level.

"Alyosha", "Daya", "Old Peter"...... These seemingly very ordinary and common St. Steele names are in fact the protagonists of Shug's unfinished works, and in addition to her, Meyer and others have also seen Shug's manuscripts.

This is a secret agreement between Verin and Mayer and the others.

When these names appear in intelligence letters, it means that the time has come to launch a higher-level operation.
