When Felix came out into the street outside the house with a cane and a trench coat, many eyes were on him at the same time.

This made Felix feel very uncomfortable.

As the de facto leader of the Sword of Dawn, he still prefers to keep a low profile.

In the past, it was not too difficult to achieve this, and although the Sword of Dawn existed publicly, in the eyes of many people, including members of the Dawn Society, it was actually just a relatively important "spy" department, no matter how important and special its functions were, in the final analysis, it served the ideals and goals of the Dawn Society.

In this case, Felix's personal presence is always overshadowed by the light emanating from Meyer, Darswell, and Shugg.

But now it's different.

When people saw with their own eyes the light of the Goddess Mel's favor emerge from the staff Felix held and completely dispel the terrible shadow that could destroy half of the city, names such as "saint", "messenger" and even "divine favor" and "chosen one" were destined to be inseparable from Felix himself.

"Ah...... It's uncomfortable. ”

Felix frowned at the gaze of his various eyes, tugging at his coat and poking the cracked street floor with the cane that had been with Siug.

If he was still the same young man in the past, such an action would still show some crampedness and uneasiness, however, after a serious overdraft of his body, he now looks like a middle-aged man, his thin face, body shape and untrimmed beard, making Felix's action seem quite imposing, and when the cane hit the ground, even some people who peeked over looked away.

"I have to say, Mr. Felix, you look more like a leader now than you used to."

Sally's voice came slowly from the side: "The teacher told me earlier today that when you meet in the future, I'm afraid you won't need to report anymore...... With Ling's current image, it is more appropriate for everyone to talk together. ”

"It sounds like those bureaucrats, and it's not a good thing to judge seniority by appearance."

"Well, that's it...... In the past, it was more like complaining when you said that, but now it's different. ”

Sally laughed twice, then led Felix into a car and headed for the other side of Overwatch.

Today's Overwatch City is a different story than it was before.

Felix looked out the window quietly with his cane, and he saw that the soldiers of the Dawn Society were constantly organizing various jobs, and there were also many residents of the Watch City, most of whom wore temporary insignia and armbands issued by the Dawn Society, indicating that they were all volunteers who were willing to follow the Dawn Society in the restoration and renovation of the Watch City.

For those who still don't want to leave their homes and are willing to trust Dawn, this is the most suitable option for them in the current situation.

"The number of volunteers has gone up a lot, much in the last few days."

Sally stretched out her hand, embedded a crystalline lamp in the carriage, took out a thick stack of manuscripts, and said as she flipped through them, "The prestige of the Dawn Society is built on the one hand, and you are credited on the other, Mr. Felix...... Most of the inhabitants of the city are now followers of the goddess Mel, and after seeing the events of that night, they all believe that you are the chosen one of the goddesses, and the Dawn Society, which you have joined, is rightfully considered by them to be the same existence as the Dharma. ”

Felix instinctively wanted to describe this peculiar development as "ridiculous", but when he saw two volunteers helping the Dawn Society soldiers with the difficulty of moving two boxes of heavy objects onto the loading truck, he had to swallow the words back.

"Hmm...... That's all there is to it for now. ”

Felix shook his head, his gaze turned to the manuscript in Sally's hand, and he recognized it as a manuscript left by his old friend Huge, which was the custom of this guy, with all kinds of annotations, memos, and sketches of information all over the paper, which made Xiuge's manuscript very legible.

"Miss Sally, is this the task the professor has assigned to you? Where's the view? ”

"It was a mission in the beginning, but it's not anymore...... Well, I'm almost done, and here it is mentioned that 'Alyosha' has joined the army again, but this time he did it voluntarily, but his lover doesn't seem to be very happy. ”

"Oh, that's almost over."

Felix nodded, he had also read the manuscript quickly before, and he was looking forward to the plot that was not finished, but now, the author of this long story did not know where to go, and he did not know when he would return.

"The teacher and Mr. Darthwell have already discussed it, and they want to commission two publishing houses in the kingdom of Deresa and the kingdom of Waterl to publish this work, which will be divided into three parts...... At present, these manuscripts can only support the first two. ”

Speaking of this, Sally pursed her lips: "I hope he can come back in time and finish the missing third part." ”

"Huh."

Felix shook his head: "With what I know about a writer like him, I'm afraid it's already his instinct to delay the manuscript...... It's okay if he writes it in one go, but now he's missing, even if he comes back, there are a lot of things within the Dawn Society that he wants to participate in, which is a good excuse to delay the manuscript. ”

Felix has said similar words many times in the past, but after he inexplicably "stepped into middle age", it turned out to be a little more old-fashioned when he said such words.

It's really funny.

After speaking, Felix put the staff on his knees, as an ordinary person who has not systematically studied magic, he can now clearly feel the connection between himself and this cane, when he closes his eyes and puts all his attention into it, he can even amplify his own perception without limit, the invisible power weaves a huge net for him, and he, the owner of this net, can easily detect any of the slightest abnormalities.

Felix was satisfied, for in his current perception, he was not aware of anything unusual.

His instincts told him that there were at least no infiltrators of the Black Sun Society in the surrounding area.

"I don't really understand how it works, but it's a good sign......

He said silently in his heart, but before this thought could disappear, a rather dazzling "color" suddenly broke into Felix's perceptual domain, and not only that, but the staff also began to tremble slightly, which was a manifestation of magic at work.

"Stop, Miss Sally!"

Felix gave his order in a low voice, he clenched his cane, and turned his head to look out of the car, but his eyes were fixed on the makeshift camp set up in a small square not far away: "What does that camp do?" ”

"The last few groups of residents to gather for evacuation should be in the city...... They would assemble here and be escorted by our soldiers to the rear, settled villages. ”

Sally quickly got into the working mood, she glanced at Felix and asked in a low voice, "Found?" I'm going to call someone? ”

"Well, send a notice to the professor too, and we'll meet here."

With that, Felix picked up his cane and pushed the car door open.

He just stepped out of the car, gesturing seemingly casually.

In just a few seconds, several people scattered all over the street, who were busy with their own work, immediately put down what they were doing and scattered in different directions, a slight and hidden agitation quickly spread out at the intersection, and a Dawn Sword execution team in charge of the area entered a state of alert as fast as possible.

For this kind of thing, the executive members of the Sword of Dawn have long had a wealth of experience.

They know it's time for them to "catch worms" again.

……

"Oh, you used to be a miner around here? Escaped from the front line? ”

In the temporary gathering point, a "burly" woman with a child and a huge luggage package smiled at the strange man next to her and said: "It's not easy, people were arrested everywhere in the city before, and the priority was those of you who had been soldiers!" ”

The man was a little silent in the face of the woman's conversation, but in the face of the child's curious gaze and the woman's smile, he finally reluctantly spoke: "Yes, my luck is okay, I have been hiding in an abandoned mine cave for a long time......

"So, you waited for the lunatics to run away?"

The man seemed a little unsure of what the woman was called, and he frowned and confirmed, "Crazy...... Lunatic? ”

"Hey, those who follow some black sun, what do you see they do day by day, what can they be called other than madmen?"

The woman waved her hand and turned her head to look at the long queue, then her heavy luggage was put on the floor, and she turned to sit down on a large wooden box next to her: "Anyway, things are better now, at least these newcomers don't plan to send everyone to the front, and they have arranged some accommodation for us in the rear...... They are all from the North, so they are more credible after all. ”

"I don't think so, right?"

The man, apparently distrustful of the women's arguments, shook his head and retorted in a low voice: "I heard that they want to evacuate the people from the city to work in the mines or fields......

"That's fine!"

The woman behaved very indifferently: "Didn't someone come back from the farm and mine a few days ago, and they also said that they really need to work, but the conditions are okay, and there is nothing forced to do, just normal work, although it is a little heavier, but the dawn society does not deduct wages and does not withhold wages." ”

As she spoke, the woman patted her thick arm: "If that unlucky guy hadn't died in the mine before, I would definitely let him go to the mine of the Dawn Society now, with his experience, he can be a foreman...... Well, I'm going to work as a cook in the mine, tsk, the people who work in the general mine kitchen can't compare to me! ”

The woman was obviously very sure of her cooking skills, so she babbled about the snack bar she had opened in Overwatch City, and this attracted the attention of several acquaintances next to her, and suddenly the atmosphere became lively, and some people joked that her cooking skills were actually average, and she would have stomach trouble when she ate it, but she quarreled because of her bad feelings......

The man was left aside, and his expression became a little strange as he silently watched the moving queue and the residents chatting in a relaxed atmosphere.

Finally, he seized a gap in his interjection and asked, "Why do you trust the Dawn Society so much?" Wasn't there a lot of bad rumors in the city before? ”

"Bad rumors? Tell me about it? ”

Seeing that the people turned their heads to look at him, the man coughed twice, and then he suppressed his voice and said: "There has not been a day of stability in the city these days, not to mention the previous air raid, many people died...... The Dawn Society agents are still killing people everywhere, and there are gunshots every night, I can't believe these murderers...... Not to mention, there are quite a few of them mixed in, sword-wielding ......"

"Ah, that's the truth."

A citizen in his fifties nodded: "The gunshots every night are really scary, and two of them are still downstairs in me, but if you want me to see, there is no way to do it...... Those madmen have left a lot of hidden dangers in the city, and they can only rest assured if they clean them up, right? ”

"I've seen the shooters all young people, armed with weapons, but very polite."

Another chimed in: "I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of gunfire, and when I looked out of the window, they advised me to close the window and not look around, and the mage in charge of leading the team even apologized to me on the street!" Well, I've never heard of a Master apologizing to us ordinary people. ”

"Anyway, I think they can be trusted, after all, the 'saints' are real! And the missing 'Baron Ernst', an organization that can get such people to join, it won't be far off! ”

The woman patted her thriving thigh and put a final cut on the chatter: "Besides, how far can a group of people who actively take in orphans in the city be? I think they're better than the royal family! ”

The man was silent again, and when he looked around, he saw that most of the residents who had gathered here didn't seem to have much of a problem with the Dawn Society, so he took two steps back slightly, and quickly withdrew from the queue on the grounds that his stomach was not feeling well.

He moved very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to emerge from the busy makeshift gathering point, but just as he was about to cross the intersection to the next scheduled location, he met a gaze.

It was a silent middle-aged man with a cane and a coat.

He stood on the side of the road, a pair of falcon-like eyes looking at him deadly, and the gaze was like substance, almost nailing the man's body to the pavement of Overwatch City!
