"Doesn't that sound like a difficult situation?"

Xiuge sighed low in his mind: "After all, the time for the official establishment of the Dawn Society is still too short, and the personnel, funds, and equipment can still be replenished in a short time through operation, but the aspects of magic and rituals will be limited to a considerable extent after all. ”

Then Shug looked up, he looked across the table, and asked, "Felix, who is in charge of magic-related matters within the organization at the moment?" ”

"The Sword of Dawn is directly responsible for the execution and handling of specific affairs, but in terms of magic, rituals, and related alchemical supplies, the Dawn Society does not have the leading power."

Felix gave his answer almost immediately, his tone did not fluctuate in any way by mentioning the Dawn Society's current shortcomings, and he followed the cane that was used to maintain his spiritual connection with Xiuge, and in the most concise language possible, he outlined the current predicament of the Dawn Society in the magical realm.

As Xiuge had anticipated, although there were quite a few excellent spellcasters within the Dawn Society, and the Dawn Society itself maintained a close cooperative relationship with the Vann Magical Society, this did not mean that the Dawn Society had the autonomy to dominate the magical field.

In fact, this so-called "dominance" is also the bottom line of Merlinle and all along.

The registration and ability evaluation of official magicians must go through Merlin Lehe, and all official spellcasters must be supervised by the Legislative Committee, and all academic results obtained by these casters must also go through the corresponding "process" in the evaluation system established by Merlin Lehe.

Although the "authority" of Merlinle and the Dharma-Council was dealt a serious blow due to the previous separation of the Plateau Mage Council, with the deterioration of the situation in Vann and the forced cooperation of many forces, this "passage of authority" was finally curbed in time.

To this day, Merlin Lehe is still the theoretical "magic ruler" of Van Grace.

Politicians who are spellcasters continue to use the benefits of this title, while Merlinler and the Law Council continue to spread their influence to specific countries and organizations.

"Right now, we're a big target for Merlingleho...... Especially after you 'disappeared'. ”

Felix explained with a wry smile, "Because of the 'miracle' of that night and the changes brought about by this cane, Merlin Lehe is trying to attribute everything that happened in Overwatch City to the 'grace of the goddess', and they also hope to directly give me the title of 'saint' and even offer to give more help to the Dawn Society on this basis." ”

"Doesn't sound like a good idea."

"Of course it's not reliable, and we can't agree to it."

A trace of helplessness flashed on Felix's face: "Meyer and I have discussed these things for a long time, but fortunately everyone is sober, and no one agrees with Merlin Lehe's proposal...... If we do this, the Dawn Society's philosophy and principles of action will collapse, and we may gain more support in a short period of time, but the entire Dawn Society will definitely become a subordinate organization of the Legislative Committee. ”

"Merlin Lehe shouldn't be happy about your judgment, right?"

"Yes, since we rejected the Commission's proposal, some of the magic-related supplies have become scarce, and at the same time, Professor Weka of the Legislature wrote us a letter mentioning that the Commission had decided to explain the victory in the Battle of Overwatch in terms of 'miracles' and 'saints' in the regions beyond the North, and the language of the letter was very intense."

"Professor Weca?"

Shuge was stunned, the image of the good old man of the Law Committee almost immediately appeared in his mind, and after a little thought, he asked, "In what capacity did Professor Veka write the letter?" Personally? Or the identity of the head of external affairs? ”

"Personal identity."

Xiuge, who received the response, nodded slowly, and through the answer given by Felix, he also had a rough judgment of the current situation of the Law Committee - as the main person in charge of external affairs, Professor Weika probably wanted to do not intimidate the Dawn Society, but to warn and remind.

"As it stands, the Commission has not been able to resolve its own internal differences...... Even as these divisions and contradictions are becoming more intense, according to Professor Veka's prompts and what has been observed by the Vann Magical Society, Merlin Lehe is eager to re-establish his position in Vann through the current war situation. ”

As Felix said these words, a dangerous and dark mood swing flashed through the depths of Hug's spiritual ocean, which he knew was Theseus's expression of dissatisfaction with the so-called "Heirs of Mel" of the Legislature.

If it had been in the past, perhaps Theseus would have chosen to be willful at such a moment, using his power to give Merlinle and some "small shocks".

Felix carefully observed Xiuge's expression, and after discovering that Xiuge was not frustrated and lost because of the predicament that the Dawn Society was facing, he asked bluntly, "Xiuge, are you asking these questions because you have already found a solution to those troubles?" ”

"So to speak."

Shug raised his eyes, he and Felix looked at each other for two seconds, and then said, "If I am not mistaken, I am afraid that the current infiltration of the Dawn Society is not a specific entity, but some strange creations summoned by the Black Sun Society through the Lost Ritual...... It was a slow, grim shadow that, manipulated by the casters of the Black Sun Society, would chase after their victims and erode their minds by all means possible. ”

"And when these shadows successfully break through the minds of the victims, the casters hidden behind the ritual will be able to use a variety of means to obtain the knowledge and memories of the victims, so as to obtain the secrets they want, and even use the shadows to seize control of the victim's body."

Felix's throat was a little dry as the cold narration that came out of Xiuge's mouth made Felix's throat dry, and he swallowed, then sat up straight and asked solemnly, "Do you have any suggestions for coping?" For example, how to identify these enemies from infiltrators? Or, the means to block those magical rituals? ”

"Yes."

Shug nodded, then leaned his palm forward and rested lightly on the staff.

In the next moment, deep magical shadows began to surge around Xiuge's body, and in Felix's gaze, these lights and shadows quickly shifted between the concrete and the abstract, and the distorted outlines and lines made them seem unpredictable.

Strangely enough, however, as someone who had personally interrogated many members of the Black Sun Society and had been attacked by those dangerous magical attacks many times, Felix did not feel any danger in the ominous magical light.

Immediately afterward, he saw that the magic from Xiuge flowed slowly like water towards the scarred metal cane, and the moment these lights and shadows touched the cane, the gloomy color faded at a very fast speed, replaced by extreme clarity and purity.

Under the deliberate guidance of Theseus, Hug easily identified the most important and stable magical nodes in the magical medium in front of him, and then, a large amount of pure magic was poured into it, and the flowing clear light enveloped the entire cane in an instant.

Such a wonderful scene naturally kept Felix's eyes on it, but it also meant the beginning of a bold attempt for Xiuge.

Even with the help of Theseus, it was not easy to construct a complete magical model on such an object, especially since the staff had briefly served as a vehicle for Mel's residual will and power.

In order to achieve his goal, Schuge had to make use of all the techniques he had learned and mastered in the past, and he was like a sculptor who strives for perfection, constantly carving through these intricate magical lines in order to reorganize the traces of confusion left by the past.

I don't know how long it took for the last part of the magic model to be constructed, and when Xiuge completed the inscription of the whole ritual, a long series of symmetrical and exquisite magic patterns also appeared along the mottled surface of the metal cane, and against them, the scars left by the fierce battle also had a special beauty.

“……”

After another check, Shug breathed a sigh of relief, slowly raised his head, and handed the metal cane back to Felix with a strange glow.

Felix took the cane, he touched the lines that flickered on the surface of the cane, and asked, "Is it going well?" ”

"Well, although it is a little difficult, there is no problem overall."

Felix nodded, and then he asked, "So, how should I use it?" Can it help me discern those who are being eroded? ”

"That's just one part of the story."

Shuge leaned back in his chair, and he said in a deep voice, "This cane is very special, it has given me the ability to perceive and distinguish those members of the Black Sun Society from the very beginning...... In other words, any individual who has ever been closely associated with the Black Sun Ritual can be clearly identified by it. ”

"And now, on this basis, I have tried to give it a new set of rituals, under the effect of which those creatures that originated from the 'Black Sun', or who have accepted its power, will also be included in the scope of perception, note that it can not only be used for your personal perception, but also can be matched with the general magic rituals of the spirit and the will, such as 'Psychic Interrogation'."

Hearing this, Felix couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, he subconsciously clenched his cane, and tried to touch the flowing "cold water" according to his previous superficial experience.

In the next moment, Felix's perception was entangled with this "current", and a large amount of chaotic information rushed into Felix's mind with an extremely ferocious attitude, and the huge shadows spread like a mass of mud in his mind, and among these "mud", there was a figure that was the clearest.

The figure looked up, and a face that Felix was all too familiar with was revealed.

It was none other than Schug Ernst.

At that moment, the strange illusion given by the cane was interrupted, and Felix let go of the cane, and he raised his hand and pressed his temples vigorously, as he cast his gaze in horror and confusion at Shuge, who sat across from him.

As the architect of the ritual, Xiuge could certainly guess what Felix had just "seen", and he waved his hand helplessly and said, "This is actually the last and most important thing I was going to tell you before. ”

"Would you be interested in hearing about me, and about the origins of the Abyss and Vann?"

After saying this, Hug never gave Felix any chance to refuse.

As the magic began to surge again, Felix's streamlined past, rearranged and rearranged for the Lost Age, the Goddess Mel, the Court of the Abyss, and that other distant world was brought to life.

The rise of civilizations, the demise of populations, the alternation of day and eternal night, the withdrawal of gods......

In a very short period of time, these magnificent pasts, which could easily subvert the entire perception of Vann, turned into heavy scrolls with bizarre patterns, and "smashed" on Felix's tough head one after another.

It almost knocked him unconscious.

In the process of receiving these messages, Felix tried to interrupt Siugo's statements more than once and question their veracity, however, as the content of the messages continued to improve, Felix finally gave up the meaningless struggle, and he slumped in his chair, silently listening to the long story that spanned an unknown number of years, and fell into a long silence.

Finally, the impact of the huge message was somewhat relieved, Felix gritted his teeth, he forcibly controlled his chaotic thoughts, and looked at Xiuge with some difficulty: "Xiuge, I can believe all this you said, but I don't quite understand, why did you choose to tell me?" Is there anyone else who is better suited to know these secrets, like Professor Mayer, or Miss Verin? ”

Hearing him ask, Shug smiled, and the psychedelic iridescent color flashed in his dark eyes.

"At the moment, it seems that only you are the most suitable."

Felix didn't lose his judgment because of his current state, he squinted his eyes, and seriously recalled the topic of "prophecy" that the two had talked about when they first met, and then he immediately reacted: "It seems that there is some kind of basis or clear 'omen' for you to make such a judgment?" ”

Felix's quick reaction surprised Sugg, to which he gave a clear answer.

"Yes, I do have some basis for judgment."

Felix, who had received the response, seemed to be a lot more relaxed, he shrugged his shoulders and asked tentatively, "In that case, can you give some ...... to the Dawn Society and me in the future?" Well, valuable advice? ”

"There's not much I can suggest to the Dawn Society...... When you get back, you can tell Professor Mayer to believe in the judgments he has made, and to continue on the current path, and if you are really lost, you may wish to look for the notebook I gave him a long time ago. ”

"As for you...... Felix. ”

Xiuge raised his eyebrows: "Try to let the others carry your burden together, don't exhaust yourself to death." ”
