Chapter 464: Felix's Wonderful Journey
Over the past few days, Felix's fears about spies and traitors within the Dawn Society have been verified.
The messages and alerts from many different directions indicate that a considerable amount of information has indeed been leaked within the Dawn Society, and this information involves all aspects of the Dawn Society's activities, from the transfer of personnel in the frontline area, to the arrangement of some logistics supply lines, to some long-term strategies of the Dawn Society in the rear......
Thankfully, so far, this information has not brought too direct and obvious losses, and some of the more sensitive and dangerous personnel have not been exposed because of this, but this is not enough to comfort the core members of the Dawn Society, everyone knows very well that if this matter is not properly handled, then these terrible hidden dangers will eventually turn into fatal wounds, and let the Dawn Society shed every drop of blood.
In the face of such a predicament, as the eyes and blades of the Dawn Society, the Dawn Sword organization began to shrink inward at an extremely fast speed, except for those like Wei Lin, who were indeed unable to withdraw from the enemy's hinterland in a short period of time, a large number of members of the Dawn Sword suspended their work and began to return to the rear or be reviewed on the spot.
Felix believes that the Sword of Dawn must first ensure its purity before it can officially begin its inventory of the Dawn Society.
Luckily, the review went very smoothly, and the censors, including Felix, who was holding a cane, did not find any hidden defections inside the Dawn Sword, but some of the omissions and wrong methods in the process were successfully identified and corrected in a timely manner.
This result made Felix feel a little relieved, but at the same time it made him more anxious.
In the current situation, it is clear that human scrutiny alone is not enough to fully verify the integrity of the organization, so Felix has had to add an extra step to these challenging tasks.
A step that only he could do.
Although Felix was fundamentally an "ordinary person" with no magical knowledge or ability to cast spells, his tenacious connection to the staff and its power gave him extremely special and powerful authority.
When this "middle-aged man" with a thin figure and a slightly gloomy temperament walked through various places with a cane, an indescribable invisible aura would sweep through like a torrential rain.
In the past, Felix's young appearance would always make people involuntarily get close to him, and even joke with him from time to time, but now, even close comrades-in-arms in the past can't help but keep some distance from Felix.
This situation made Felix a little sad.
Fortunately, there is a special group of people who still maintain a close relationship with Felix, and that is the UNHCR established by the Dawn Society.
Unlike the other departments of the Dawn Society, UNHCR is a new unit built on the basis of refugees and volunteers from St. Steele, and among the people who have fled from the heart of St. Stille are a large number of northern residents who have fled from the hinterland of St. Steele, some of whom in the past were clerks, some of whom were secretaries of military departments, and many of whom were ordinary people living in the villages and towns of St. Steele.
Felix had thought that UNHCR was the most likely department to be infiltrated by the Black Sun Society, but when he personally completed a review of the entire work of UNHCR with a cane, he was surprised to find that the purity of these people had completely exceeded his expectations, especially the young people who had pinned their siblings on the Dawn Society, and they had burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm in the process of work.
They were always welcoming Felix, and the children were even more than happy to follow Felix.
The children used to refer to Felix as "brother" or "sir", but now they have changed the title to "teacher".
"Hmmm......"
With a faint sigh, Felix placed the file in his hand on the table.
This document came from Collo in the Kingdom of St. Steele, and was sent by Verin herself, and it took several strongholds and informants to successfully pass here, in which Felix clearly saw the amazing achievements of Verin and others in Collo - these brave informants are using all means to collect the confidential information that flows through Collo and successfully pass it on.
Not only that, but individual scholars who have been erased by Merlinle and the past archives have even passed the preliminary review of the Black Sun Society, and they will try to reverse infiltrate the Black Sun Society under the protection of a series of new secret rites and magic.
On the whole, the trend is very favorable to the Dawn Society, but behind this trend, it is inevitable that there is a chilling coldness and haze.
There is no way to get rid of this feeling of uneasiness through the closeness and trust of children.
Felix's gaze lingered on the cane next to him for two seconds, and then he drifted to the document again, in which he saw the familiar name "Shug Ernst" again.
Ever since he vanished into thin air, Felix inevitably felt emptiness, loss, and regret every time he saw the name, and although he didn't know much about supernatural powers such as magic, through the scholars and mage advisors in the Dawn Society, he had clearly understood the dangers and difficulties of the situation that Xiuge was facing.
Felix, however, is not sad.
As a person who came out of the hell of Salem City with Xiuge, he knew very well what kind of power and enthusiasm was hidden in that body that looked no different from that ordinary young man, although that enthusiasm would always be hidden under rigorous logic and cautious behavior style, but it was precisely because of this that every seemingly risky move made by Xiuge must have been carefully calculated and considered.
Even if that were to do so it might invite danger or perdition.
Felix may be one of the very few people who has always maintained a high level of trust in Xiuge within the Dawn Society, even more so than Meyer.
Now, in the document in front of Felix, Verine once again mentions Shug Ernst, only this time, instead of an obscure vision or omen of unknown origin, she is giving an incomparably clear "link process".
"He's trying to contact us...... But the connection is obviously not stable, perhaps because of the complex magical environment, or because of some other factor that we don't know yet, but I can be sure that at some point before, the link has been actually established, and this connection is completely different from the past, and I can find the clear remnants of the will behind it, and he is trying to achieve it. β
"I'm going to try to focus on this aspect for the next period of time, and I'm asking for more attention from the rear...... He is a stubborn and flexible man, and if he encounters repeated failures on my side, he may seek other ways and paths, especially those who have been closely associated with him, or who have a trace of him! β
Although the words had become rational and bland after being restructured and translated, Felix was able to capture the excitement of Verine as she wrote them.
"There are closely related ......"
Felix repeated the words silently, then reached for the metal cane beside himβit was wiped clean, but the legendary night still left an indelible mark on it.
He placed his fingers on the marks and swiped them slightly, so that the invisible and powerful force immediately flowed out of the staff, and they flowed like flowing water, flowing down Felix's fingers into his body, running for a cycle, and then returning to the staff at a steady frequency.
Felix was used to the feeling, and he knew that the power in the staff was telling him that the neighborhood was in good condition and that there were no betrayers associated with the Black Sun Society.
"It's definitely not enough to rely on you......"
He held his cane and shook his head helplessly: "One Felix and one cane are always not enough, we need more ways and methods...... Victory is still far away. β
After saying this, Felix was ready to return to work, but before he could put down his staff, the magic transmitted from the staff suddenly became ferocious, and the magic that had been flowing steadily seemed to become a tributary merging with the main trunk of the river at this moment, and the violent impact penetrated Felix's thin body in an instant, and hit his mind fiercely.
"Hmm......"
Felix became in pain with a loud hum, and he instinctively shook his hand to throw away the metal staff that had tormented him, but the magic turned into a terrible adhesive, causing the cold metal to stick to his palm.
Tingling and dizziness followed, invisible magic turned into a huge hammer, striking Felix's mental world again and again, as if to smash his will to pieces, in this infinite approach to coma, psychedelic colors and lines gradually appeared in Felix's mind.
First he saw the bright sky.
In the sky, the sun was so familiar to Felix that it was so real that Felix could even feel the warmth it transmitted, and under the wrapping of that temperature, Felix relaxed little by little, but in the next moment, a heavy black haze spread from the depths of the vast canvas, and the mud spread freely in the painting, and soon it stained everything bright.
Before Felix could react, he felt the bitter cold wind again, and on the streets of the North, under the gaze of various buildings, a group of people gathered in the wide square, and after a short pause, these blurred faces that he could not see walked into the distance on the cold wind.
In another trance, Felix was a world of utter alien nature, and he looked at the strange, violently roaring machines in bewilderment, and before he could figure out what they did, he saw a huge crack suddenly gush out of a disgusting and terrible color like a fountain......
Then there is chaos, disaster, death......
All of this was incredibly familiar to Felix, but everything in between it was strange to him......
He didn't know how long it took for the filth in the scroll to finally gain the upper hand, and he saw that in the heavy world, the last faint points of light gathered together, and after the last violent flicker, these points of light were all annihilated, leaving an undetectable afterglow in the place where they had finally gathered.
In this way, the darkness completely filled Felix's mind, and he could no longer feel his limbs, could not confirm his breath, and could not even touch the boundaries of his thoughts......
Helplessness and panic converged into a bottomless quagmire, and sticky palms poked out of it, dragging Felix down little by little.
However, these palms still failed to achieve their wishes.
A dazzling light appeared, first as an undetectable point of light, then as a few cracks as it turned into several cracks, and then from a large area of light spots, which soon became one, and Felix's detached perception quickly returned, and those spots of light finally converged into a concrete, touchable scene.
The sound of the tide rang in Felix's ears.
His feet were a little weak, but he finally managed to hold on to his feet.
The sound of the tide sounded in his ears, and the sea breeze blew, and the wide and boundless deck appeared before his eyes.
"It's ...... Boat? How could there be such a big ship? β
Felix turned cautiously, glanced around, and slowly moved two more steps, so that he could see the edge of the deck, and the boundless ocean beyond it.
"How can there be such a big ship? Where the hell am I? β
With complete control of his body and his senses, questions quickly flooded Felix's brain, and he instinctively glanced at the metal cane still held in his hand, knowing that his strange "journey" must be closely related to it.
While thinking about it, on both sides of this wide deck, a large number of buildings suddenly "rose from the ground", but in a few breaths, this incomparably wide deck changed into a city street, and at the end of the street, a figure sitting at a table appeared.
Felix was not once again stunned by the previous changes, he quickly adjusted, and walked steadily along the new street towards the end.
