Chapter 469: Waves
When the name "Goger" was pronounced by Meyer, everyone in the room turned their eyes to that corner.
As a result, the young officer, who was obviously not in a good state of mind and seemed to be in a state of confusion, came into everyone's field of vision.
However, even so, the young man in his twenties did not react in time, and it was not until Mayer's second question that he was able to break free from his trance and turn his empty eyes to Meyer and Felix.
When he noticed that Goger was looking at him, Felix's fingers tapped twice on the grip of the metal cane, consciously or unconsciously, this action seemed simple, but it was an extremely clear and powerful signal to the invisible magic hidden inside the cane.
Although Shug could not be compared to the goddess Mel who had performed all sorts of feats in terms of magical power, as the direct inheritor of her will and authority, he was also able to disperse this part of his power to a certain extent.
Through his own adjustments and modifications, the metal cane held in Felix's hand has truly become a tool that can be used accurately.
Felix had already experimented with it a few times before joining the meeting, and although he knew nothing about magic, he couldn't help but be shocked by the invisible currents of water that existed inside the staffβthese cold, pure powers were literally an extension of his will, and he didn't have to prepare at all, just a simple thought or hint to make the magic work.
The magic that began to flow rapidly in a stealthy posture also allowed Felix to clearly perceive the strangeness in this room.
These young members of the Dawn Society were not randomly invited, their names had already been included in a list, a decision made by Meyer and the others through a large amount of information provided by the Sword of Dawn.
And now, the haze that clearly appeared in Felix's perception confirmed the accuracy of the list.
Completely different from the feeling of using a cane to screen the hidden members of the Black Sun Society, Felix could now clearly see a black shadow entrenched in the corner of the room, which basically coincided with the young officer named "Goger", except that the outline of the shadow was constantly swinging and oscillating, and it seemed to be unstable, and the face of this humanoid shadow was impressively dotted with two hazy air masses.
It seems, it is a crude imitation of the human eye.
When Felix looked at Goje, the shadow attached to Goje also looked in the direction of Felix, and the two air masses that symbolized the eyes couldn't help but tremble, giving people an indescribable weird feeling.
Such a situation would have made any person with a firm mind hesitate and be surprised, but Felix's expression and demeanor did not change at all, he had already been mentally prepared, and not only that, but the pure magic that was flowing through his body gave him amazing courage.
After a brief exchange of glances, the young officer stood up, bowed his head in some shame, and said to Meyer and Felix, "Sorry, professor, sir...... I've been a little tired lately, and I've been having trouble concentrating. β
Hearing this, Meyer immediately showed a gentle smile, he raised his palm and pressed it, motioned for Goger to sit down again, and then said: "Now is a difficult time, hard work and exhaustion are always inevitable, the organization can get to this point, and everyone's efforts are inseparable, but I hope you understand that gentle and firm burning can bring more long-lasting light." β
As soon as Meyer finished saying this, Felix immediately turned his gaze to the other side of the room, and at his signal, a completely normal officer stood up and gave his opinion on the previous question about the Craggy Hills and the Kingdom of Waterl.
At this point, this special meeting can be regarded as the official beginning.
For the young participants who were invited, the experience was novel and impactful, so they all showed a considerable degree of enthusiasm, and with the help of Meyer and others, they quickly let go of their initial nervousness and crampedness and began to actively express their opinions and ideas.
In this process, part of Felix's attention was always on Goger, and he was surprised that at a certain stage of the meeting, Goger actually took the initiative to participate in the discussion and speak, Felix paid special attention to the content of his speech, and he found that Goger's speech and logic were very clear, and his content and views were even approved and recognized by many people.
Not only that, but Felix also noticed that when Goger finished speaking and won the thumbs up from Meyer, the shadow that hung over his body seemed to have stabilized a lot, and even faintly, there was a tendency to fit the contours of Goger's body.
Upon discovering this, Felix immediately gave a hint to Meyer and the mage advisors in the room, and the meeting began to accelerate, and after completing the discussion of the current topic, Meyer announced that the first half of the meeting was almost over, and that the participants would continue to participate in the second half of the meeting after a night's rest.
According to the process, the personnel began to leave the scene in an orderly manner, and Goger, who was in the corner of the room, was rightfully last.
The senior mage advisor of the valley class stood quietly at the exit of the room, standing alongside several guards trained by the Sword of Dawn, watching one participant after another walk out of the room.
On the other hand, Meyer and Felix were just as normal, and the two were continuing a discussion that had not yet reached a result, and seemed to be unconcerned about the situation in the room.
Two members of the Dawn Society were familiar with Gojie, so the three of them walked out together, and when they were about to walk out of the room, Goger's body suddenly stopped, and he was pushed backwards as if he had hit an invisible wall.
At this moment, the peaceful atmosphere in the room was completely torn apart, and the guards and mages who were waiting for the battle entered their positions one after another, and the ritual field that shrouded the room was also out of its original state of concealment.
Felix, who had been sitting all along, slammed his cane and stood up from his position, and the complex magic patterns quickly emerged from the inside of the metal cane under the call of his will, and the pure and orderly magic power was mobilized at an extremely fast speed, and skipped the original manipulator of the magic ritual, and directly obtained its direct management.
Meyer smacked his lips and didn't say anything more, he took two steps back, retreating out of the area of the ritual ground, and then he saw a deep color emerge from all directions, quickly filling every corner around him.
At first glance, these colors may seem similar to those unsettling fogs, but when they spread out evenly, they take on a clear and mysterious water surface.
Seeing this, Meyer breathed a long sigh of relief, he recognized this color.
Every time a large-scale magic is performed by Shog, a similar form of magic will appear, which shows that Felix's "dream" about Shog is completely true, and although the guy's body is far away from Vann, his spirit and power are still active here.
This is definitely good news.
In just a few seconds, the target of Gojie had been completely suppressed by the ritual field, and the powerful magic from Xiuge turned into chains one after another, binding Gojie's body layer by layer, and under the effect of these chains, everyone could see that a disturbing thick shadow was emerging from under Goger's skin, and it quickly broke free from the contours of Goger's body, and finally formed into a rickety human form with elongated limbs.
The shadow was obviously unwilling to stay away from its shelter, and as the chains tightened, the shadow began to shake and struggle violently, and when its limbs touched the chains that shimmered with a cold sheen, a series of gaps appeared in its limbs, and in the face of these injuries, the creature writhed even more violently, and not only that, but in the depths of those thick fogs, bursts of piercing screams erupted.
Felix, who was wielding the staff, could feel the squalor and inferiority of what was in front of him more than anyone present, and his expression immediately darkened, and the staff pointed to the ground again, and the magical chains tightened further, and began to drag violently towards the back.
This decision is effective.
Under Felix's jerky but powerful control, the filthy creature that lurked inside Goger's body and tried to occupy the shell was dragged out mercilessly, and the moment Goger's body was separated from the shadow, the young officer immediately collapsed, and the guards who had been waiting for him immediately stepped forward and dragged him aside, while several other mage advisors of the Dawn Society stepped forward, controlling the ritual field that shrouded the room to shrink inward, and finally formed a temporary and solid cage.
Meyer and Felix glanced at each other, then turned around and walked to the fainted Gojie, he skillfully checked Goger's current state, and then turned his head to look at the guards on the side: "Take Mr. Gojie to rest, his body is fine, but his consciousness may be weak...... Tell Sally to go to the mages for two spirit-boosting alchemy potions, and let us know as soon as he wakes up. β
Immediately afterwards, Meyer looked at the two young men who had a good relationship with Goje and were stupid at this time, and said with a smile: "Our comrades-in-arms were accidentally plotted by the Black Sun Society, but fortunately, the problem should be solved now...... This needs to be kept secret for the time being, understand? β
These young backbones of the Dawn Society were all smart, and they understood what Meyer meant almost immediately, and one of them looked at his unconscious companion and couldn't help but swallow: "Professor, you mean, Goger is okay now?" He...... There shouldn't have been any betrayal, or something leaked, right? β
"I don't know, but even if there is, it's not his problem."
Meyer's expression was still calm, and he gently reassured: "I am more worried that his spirit may be damaged by this, if you can, it is best for you to stay by his side, rest assured, I will have someone copy of the agenda and progress of the afternoon meeting for you, this is an indispensable part of our study." β
With Goger being taken away, everything in the room was on track, and Mayer closed the door and turned to Felix's side: "What's wrong?" This thing...... Will it be able to answer our questions? β
"I don't know, but according to Xiuge, we can try to get into the interrogation now."
Felix replied in a low voice, he held the cane and came to the translucent magic cage, and as Felix's mind turned, the intricate patterns inscribed by Xiuge himself began to jump out of the cane's own confines like vines, and spread towards Felix's palms, wrists, and even arms.
The flow of consciousness connects the inside and outside of the cage.
The light appeared in Felix's eyes, and he gripped his staff and looked at the twisted figure inside the cage.
"Now, the Sword of Dawn is talking to you...... I ask, you answer. β
Loud and sound.
β¦β¦
A heavy piece of steel fell from a great height and smashed to the ground with a loud bang.
One of the nezumi was nearly smashed, and it was frightened out of the way, then it stood still, pointed at its companion who was working above, and cursed.
Xiuge, who was reading a file, looked up, and it was not the loud noise that interrupted his train of thought, but the slight waves that had just come from the spiritual ocean.
Shuge knew that it was the fluctuation caused by Felix using the ritual he had inscribed.
This made Xiuge involuntarily think of the afterimage of fate he had glimpsed before.
The way to avoid that ending, Hug had already told Felix, but judging from Felix's attitude, it seemed that he himself preferred to see that ending as a bright future that perfectly fits his ideals, and in this case, I am afraid that no amount of persuasion will be effective.
He sighed softly, then looked at the two nezumi who were insulting each other, and beside them stood engineering structures that seemed to be unreliable, but seemed to be functioning.
As it turns out, Shugg's stereotype of the nezumi is basically correct, they are indeed a race of exuberant energy and terrifying creativity, and once the limitations of knowledge are lifted, they will build nearly infinite possibilities in a very short period of time and with limited resources.
And all this in front of them is likely to become a powerful tool for them to gain a foothold in the Abyss Wasteland in the future.
