Xiuge originally thought that the rats needed to be carefully discussed and discussed before they could give themselves a clear answer, after all, the questions and choices they were facing now were really related to the continuation of the remaining rat people.

As he said, once the rats choose to embrace the knowledge and power that they have fought fiercely against the Abyssal Court, they will inevitably become a key target for the Abyss Court.

As an icy world controlled by the same chaotic will, it was absolutely impossible for the Abyss to tolerate such a threat growing in its "body".

Although this relic belonging to a past civilization can provide cover and shelter for the nezumi tribe to a considerable extent, this is obviously not 100% safe, once the nezumi accidentally expose the corresponding traces outside the continuation base, then the ruthless hunt from the Abyss Court will definitely start immediately.

However......

However, in a very short period of time, the rats gave Xiuge a precise response.

There was no need for Azifu to mobilize or persuade him, and the nezumi priests and warriors present quickly reached a consensus in an indescribable frenzy, and Azifu, as the de facto leader of the nezumi tribe, also voted in favor.

Naturally, Azifu thinks differently from ordinary rats.

The rat people who have fallen into the belief of Mother Earth Goddess have now thoroughly believed in the identity of Xiuge's "messenger", and they are even more ecstatic about these "miracles" that have been buried for an unknown period of time in front of them—in their eyes, all this that appears in front of them is clearly an important message from their own believers, and it is the mission and guidance given to the entire rat people.

It may sound a bit blind and crazy, but that's really what the rats think.

As for Azifu, his performance was not much different from what Shuge had thought.

After hearing Xiuge's question, the poet and wise man with rich experience and experience fell into a long silence, his eyes wandering in the surrounding light, hovering between Xiuge and the bright light behind him, he did not ask Xiuge questions, but quietly waited for the reaction of his "people".

And when Azifu received a unified reply from the rest of the nezumi, he also nodded calmly at Shug.

So, in this strange atmosphere of silence and restlessness, Shug gave an order to all the nezumi present not to move or touch anything, and then he led the team towards the gate where many restrictions had been lifted.

An invisible magical barrier was constructed by Xiuge in an instant, and he walked beside Azifu and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Azifu, you just accepted my proposal?" Don't you think it's a bit sloppy? ”

"It's not me who accepts the offer, it's them."

Azifu's tone and attitude did not change much compared to before, and he replied truthfully: "When I possessed this body and became their 'prophet' by all kinds of coincidences, I became a part of the whole tribe...... Although I have been trying to influence and transform them in various ways, there are some things that cannot be easily changed. ”

Azifu glanced at the trembling rat people who followed behind, carefully observing their surroundings as they walked forward, and sighed: "Belief in Mother Earth is the cornerstone of their perseverance in this world, and any external force that shakes this foundation is deadly, and the resilience and vitality that burst out from this foundation are equally strong. ”

"This is their indelible characteristic, and it is also the most important thing for them to survive in this abyss until now."

Speaking of this, Azifu turned his head to look at Xiuge: "As for myself, I am more than happy to accept your proposal...... Oh, don't forget, I'm called the 'mad poet' in Vane, and as a 'madman', the situation and secrets that appear here now are enough for me to pay for it! ”

As the words fell, Azifu looked up, his gaze drawn to the continuation beacon in the depths of the wide hall, he knew that that was the source of the light inside this "sacred mountain", and he couldn't wait to get more explanations and answers from Shuge.

He wanted to know what made this building and what kind of existence made it all about......

Of course, it is impossible for Xiuge to tell these secrets to those rat people in the rear, but for Azifu, he doesn't mind revealing a little, relying on his strong ability to "make up nonsense", Xiuge reorganized everything he learned into a "condensed version" at a very fast speed, and quickly told the story to Azifu.

Although much of the information about himself, Mel, Theseus, and Van had been omitted from this altered, condensed story, the story of a magnificent civilization fighting against the erosion of the Abyss still made Azifu tremble.

Of course, Azifu also noticed some of these doubts and omissions, such as how he was very curious about how Shuge could read the words and why he knew how to operate these complex machines and instruments, but he still did not throw them out after all—reason told Azifu that these questions were too subtle and might even bring unnecessary contradictions and dangers.

After successfully reluctating his emotions from the continuation of the base's story, Azifu let out a long sigh as he raised his rat claws and pointed at the corpses that remained in a different state.

"How should they ...... Well, placement? ”

Despite his extreme unfamiliarity with the deceased, perhaps because of the sight in front of him, or perhaps because of the size and appearance of the deceased that made him feel relatable, the former mad poet eventually showed his cautious attitude and great respect, and he did not even use the word "processing".

"Have your people gather all the dead together and don't touch their belongings yet......"

"Although they have all been dead for a long, long time, I think they deserve a proper funeral. ”

After saying that, a large amount of magic gathered around Xiuge, and quickly formed a group of eager Ernst family rats, and then Xiug bent down, and he skillfully took out General Bernhardt and Countess Alexandra, who were the leaders of the family's will, from it, and placed them on Azifu's shoulders, one left and one right.

Seeing the old prophet's bewildered look, Xiuge smiled and said, "Okay, they are my advisors, and they can theoretically answer most of your questions, and then I need to deal with some things first, so you can slowly understand this place first...... Be careful when handling and sorting things, and put those who are not sure first, and those empty boxes and scrapped machinery can be transported to the side first. ”

With that, Shug turned and walked in the direction of the archives.

Bringing the nezumi into the continuation base and making them potential successors was the first part of the agreement and agreement between Hug and Theseus, who believed that under the constraints of Azifu and the surveillance of the Ernst rat colony, these cautious nezumi would be able to complete the groundwork.

Now that the first simple goal has been achieved, Hug is ready to be guided by Theseus to establish an initial connection with Van En through the Continuation Beacon.

At this moment, Xiuge seemed a little urgent.

Although he didn't feel like he had been away from Vann for too long, the emotions in his heart burned uncontrollably since he knew that he had a chance to connect with some people.

……

In the kingdom of St. Steele, a heavy black canopy shrouded the banks of the Nepova River, and with that icy black sun, it was enough to make any normal person who inadvertently glanced at the sky shudder.

Although the vast majority of St. Steele's inhabitants have become accustomed to the Black Sun and the presence of the dark dome as a result of the previous Black Sun Rites, awe does not mean intimacy.

Except for some residents who have already made up their minds to join the Black Sun Society, or who have already joined the Black Sun Society, ordinary people still don't like to look up at the sky, and the feeling of "looking at each other" with an indescribable behemoth is really not good.

The city under the dome is the city of Collo.

Unlike other cities that have also been ritualized by the Black Sun Society, Collo is a little more active and relaxed.

For a long time, the city on the Nepova River was a symbol of entertainment and art in the kingdom of St. Steele, and the architects and craftsmen who built the city deliberately used more Hain and Deland elements, which gave the large area of Corlo a variety of contrasting colors.

Although the architecture of Collo still follows the northern characteristics of Saint-Steele in terms of style, this special use of color has also weakened the tragic and somber style that is unique to the north.

And in today's tense situation, this characteristic of the city of Collo is particularly valuable.

With the slowing down of the offensive of the Merlin Lehe and the Dawn Society, the army serving the Black Sun Society and the royal family of St. Steele finally ushered in a valuable rotation, and unlike the soldiers who had no hope of returning home and could only wait in the barracks, a group of mages, officers and St. Steele nobles who had been rotated from the front line gathered in the city of Collo.

They all want to be able to relax here.

Relaxation on all levels of meaning.

However, the effects of the war could not be eliminated so easily, and even though the city of Collo has a rich entertainment industry and many famous courtesans in the north, there is still a large amount of important information and news that is transmitted and transferred here every day - the geographical location of the city gives it this function, and the intelligence base established here by the Black Sun Society is in the service of this.

On the second floor of an ordinary-looking alchemy supply shop, a pair of bright eyes were looking through the window to the other side of the street.

The secret magic ritual is set up in the room, and unlike the regular magic ritual, this ritual uses a new structure developed by the Vann Magic Society, although this special magical structure will cause considerable restrictions on the utility and scale of the ritual, but it can avoid the tracking of those ancient creations and the detection of the Black Sun Secret Ritual to a certain extent.

There was a slight buzzing sound, and the eyes that had been observing the street closed slightly, and the owner of the eyes carefully felt the magic tremble, and after a moment she opened her eyes, turned to the desk, and took out an account book.

With the stroke of the pen, the purchase number of the column of "Snow Crystal Lamps" has been added by five.

At this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and the young woman in the room immediately stuffed the account book in her hand into the rest of the paper documents next to her, her fingers quickly swiped over the table, and the faint magic fluctuations that had been enveloping the room disappeared completely.

When she had done all this, she picked up a pair of glasses that looked extraordinarily crudely and bulky, put them on, and then walked over unhurriedly and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a face that was a little red from drinking came into her eyes.

"Oh...... Miss Caroline, I thought you were taking a nap, really...... Really, hiccup, sorry. ”

The pungent smell of St. Steele's spirits hit her face, and the young woman known as Caroline instinctively stepped away, while the uninvited guest outside the door staggered into her room.

The man was nearly forty years old, wearing the uniform of St. Steele, the rank of captain, and a metal pin on his chest, which represented the officer's family affiliation, from a noble family in Corlo.

According to the Dawn Society's investigative records, at least four members of the family are currently in the service of the current royal family of St. Steele, and two of them are responsible for the important liaison between the royal family and the Black Sun Society.

In the list of important targets listed by the Sword of Dawn Headquarters, the drunken guy in front of him was a target that needed to be contacted, but Wei Lin didn't expect that not long after she came to Colo City, the other party would inexplicably send herself to the door.

In what should have been a very simple alchemy supplies transaction, the "aristocratic young master" who was nearly forty years old pointed to Wei Lin, who was disguised as a shop owner, and sighed.

"It's a dark sun, ma'am, you look exactly like my first love!"

Yes, it was so rough and direct, coupled with the strong smell of alcohol that always lingered on his body, that had already made Wei Lin feel the urge to use her mind directly for interrogation during the first meeting.

And now, this guy has actually come to the door again.

It's a bit inexplicable.
