The sun is high - #133 - Chapter 132 Speak quietly

Xiuge, who was underground, had no idea what was going on outside.

The sudden and terrifying vibration, as well as the magical turbulence that is difficult to explain with existing theories and common sense, caused an extremely serious impact on the underground buildings of the Ernst Manor. Fortunately, the Black Sun Society used to ensure the stability of this underground space. , a lot of effort is put into setting up a curing ceremony of excellent quality here.

Although these solidification rituals also suffered considerable damage when the magic flow arrived, this did not cause a devastating collapse after all.

However, it has become a bit difficult for Xiuge and Weilin to leave such a space.

Because the passages and stairs were severely damaged, the two had to find another way and use every conceivable method to find their way through the damaged underground building.

If there was only one person trapped here, he would most likely be crushed by the endless blind exploration and oppressive darkness.

However, for Xiuge and the two of them, the return trip seemed relatively easy.

At least it’s more comfortable than when we came here.

The problem of food and water is not a big one. After carrying enough magic crystals, the magic power of both of them is enough to support the consumption of magic drinking water and dry food. Of course, this work is mainly undertaken by Wei Lin, and she will not even kill her. Dare to take a bite of something made by Xiuge.

As for the work of finding the road, Shuge left it to the rats who were extremely familiar with this place. Even though the running rats have fallen into a deep sleep, with the will of Alexandra and other families, they are still enough to navigate this space. Find the right way out.

As for some blocked passages, the two of them were able to break them through magic.

The rats that originally filled the underground space have now disappeared. They seem to have penetrated deeper into the ground through some cracks, or simply disappeared completely because the operation of the Earth Mother’s Mysterious Instrument stopped…

Xiuge now had no time to think about whether these disappearing rats might have further consequences, because his mind always held everything he saw in the underground temple and altar.

The blind mouse exploring the path came back from the gap. After getting the exact collapse situation ahead, Weilin immediately started casting spells. The two of them had repeated this process many times – first using the “Mud and Rock Swamp” magic The collapsed wall was softened, and then Shuge’s Touch of Charron cleared a passage for movement.

This process is often long and boring, so at this time, the two people will naturally start talking.

“Miss Wei Lin, I suddenly thought of a question.”

“Um?”

Weilin responded softly while constructing a magic model.

“In that altar, there are stone statues of human sacrifices…”

The female mage paused and nodded: “Yes, you have mentioned it once before.”

Xiuge sat down by the wall. Because of the collapse of the passage, he could not fully straighten up here. Standing all the time would be very tiring. He said: “Suppose this stone statue was not erected by the Black Sun Society later, but It belongs to the same period as the entire altar and the underground temple…”

“This is enough to prove that the true history of human groups is completely different from what we know today.”

Wei Lin said softly. As the construction of the magic pattern was completed, the luster of magic covered the collapsed wall and began to soften the hard stone bricks at a slow speed. Then she stepped aside and sat down holding her legs. Opposite of Shuge.

“When I was researching my topic, I read some works written by scholars on the belief and history of gods… They summarized several mainstream myths and theories in Van En.”

“The top one should be the story of ‘life and wisdom’, right?”

“Yes.”

Wei Lin nodded: “After all, that is a ‘correct’ version certified by Merlinle and the Legal Committee, and it is also the most common and common statement.”

Xiuge showed a strange smile in the darkness.

Of course he is familiar with this story… after all, it was something he copied from some classic creation myths and human origin myths when he first compiled these world views.

The content of the story is very simple, nothing more than a combination of several sets of myths that Xiuge is familiar with.

To sum up, it is probably that the God of Life tried to use clay to create life that looked like a god, but she could only create sluggish puppets. She felt distressed and turned to the goddess of magic Mel for help, and Mel finally helped those Clay sculptures are infused with stories of wisdom and thought.

“When I was choosing this topic, my supervisor once advised me…”

“He told me that if I insist on choosing this kind of subject, I must accept that I will not be able to achieve academic achievements throughout my life, and at the same time, I should be prepared to shatter my past perceptions.”

At this moment, this young scholar who had been extremely tough and rational since Shuge first met her finally revealed his confused and fragile side.

She said softly: “I really thought that I was ready…”

“So, you have actually accepted that conclusion?”

Shuge gently raised his hand, and several Charron’s Touches immediately stretched forward. Under Shuge’s command, they gently touched the surface of the stone bricks with their sharp joints, confirming their After reaching the state, another round of construction started with an extremely gentle and gentle attitude.

In order to allow these tentacles to move the cut mud, stone and bricks away smoothly, Weilin silently changed her position. She came to the same side of Xiuge and sat down again at an arm’s length away from him.

“Even if I don’t accept it, so what?”

Weilin looked at the black tentacles that were working quietly but clearly did not belong to today’s magic system, and said: “They have always existed. Even if I use magic to cleanse all my memories in order to forget all this, they will still exist.” …And maybe it will appear in front of me one day. This kind of denial means nothing.”

“Miss Wei Lin can think like this, which already surprises me.”

Xiuge smiled and said: “When we first met, I always thought you were like the type of mage who would remain absolutely loyal to the Legal Committee…”

“Oh? Is it really similar?”

Even if he couldn’t see Wei Lin’s expression, Shuge could still imagine her curling her lips or rolling her eyes from the other person’s tone.

Such a topic slightly diluted Wei Lin’s pessimism, and she asked: “So, when did you discover that I am not that kind of mage?”

“There should be two times… I wasn’t sure the first time, but the second time, when you agreed to me picking up old Schubert and Sally before we left Salem City, I was sure , you are indeed not that kind of mage.”

Hearing this answer, Wei Lin wondered: “This is the second time? Then when was the first time?”

Shuge remained silent.

For a moment, the only sound in the passage was the sound of Carlon’s Touch diligently cutting and moving bricks and stones.

The atmosphere seemed to be slipping toward embarrassment.

So Xiuge coughed slightly and brought the topic back to its original direction. He asked: “So, Miss Weilin, do you think the Legal Committee and the current Mage Council can accept such a statement? That’s right. The so-called humans actually have a longer history, and may have participated in the battles between the lost gods?”

“Of course they will accept it.”

As the youngest magic consultant in the Legal Committee, Wei Lin quickly gave an answer: “What happened in Salem City happened before. It is impossible for them not to accept it, but accepting it does not mean that they will.” Announce it to the public… Otherwise, many things will go wrong. This situation is the same for the Mage Council and Merlin Lehe. Mr. Shuge should understand the reason, right?”

“If they really announce these things to the outside world, I am afraid that not only the status of the mages in Van En will be challenged, but even the belief in the gods in Van En will be impacted…”

Having said this, Shuge couldn’t help but sigh.

The concepts of beliefs and attributes of those lost gods are actually closer to the “original beliefs” in normal human cognition, which are based on a series of natural phenomena such as life, reproduction, and death, as well as objective existences such as forests, oceans, and land. generated belief.

These beliefs are very basic and very important.

Because in Fanen, they are equivalent to ordinary people’s most basic understanding of the entire world.

And once the gods that represent them are completely overthrown and subverted, the majority of people in this world who have simple beliefs and thinking will immediately fall into a state of confusion – just as Jacob said before, In this case, once someone jumps out and uses certain methods to show so-called “miracles” to these ordinary people, and through unconventional magic or rituals, so that these ordinary people can also master those extraordinary powers, then everything will Everything will become uncontrollable.

Although Shuge does not like many of the actions of the Law Committee, he believes that such an organization is still very important to Fan En in the current environment.

After all, once a group of people like mages who have mastered extraordinary power lose control and become what the Legal Committee calls “wild mages”, they are destined to have an impact on human society itself.

The essences of “everyone casting spells” and “everyone holding guns” are very similar. What’s more, in Fan’en, the two may appear at the same time, holding guns and casting spells. It is impossible to avoid chaos.

“I hope Van En still has time and opportunity to make final preparations and adjustments.”

Shuge shook his head. He mobilized the magic power that he had recovered a lot, summoned more Touch of Charron, and began to speed up the work in front of him.

Time passed little by little amid boring sounds.

The long period of wakefulness and the darkness that made it difficult to distinguish between day and night gave the two of them enough time to think and talk. However, the physical and mental exhaustion was really unavoidable. Although the food and drinking water made by the devil were sufficient, the taste was not very good. , and they also have to be somewhat discounted in relieving thirst and hunger.

As a result, the two of them tacitly reduced the number of conversations and only exchanged simple information more often.

“Going through this staircase, we should be able to enter the third underground floor.”

After controlling a few Charron’s Touch and forcibly clearing a path that was barely passable, Shuge turned to Weilin and said.

However, what responded to him was the sound of slight breathing.

After a long period of high-intensity spell casting, Weilin’s spirit was already very exhausted even with magic crystals as a supplement. In this case, magic and potions could no longer work, and only sleep could truly Meaning brings soothing to the spirit.

“All right……”

Xiuge shook his head helplessly. He was not in a hurry to continue going up, so he sat down directly opposite Weilin, closed his eyes and took a short rest.

…

This is destined to be just a light sleep.

Without dreaming or entering the dream sanctuary, Xiuge even knew that he was not completely asleep. He still maintained awareness of the surrounding environment.

However, this rest did not last long. Xiuge, who was leaning against the wall, was suddenly awakened by a slight sound.

“Another earthquake?”

Xiuge opened his eyes suddenly, only to see that Wei Lin across from him had woken up at some point. She looked very calm, and the soft light of the lighting trick fell quietly on her body, while her gaze stayed above the channel.

Weilin took off her glasses and used magic water to wash away the dust on the surface. At the same time, she slowly said: “It’s not an earthquake, that’s the sound of tools – someone is digging down. It seems that the Ernst family is also involved.” We have not been forgotten.”

She looked at Shuge and said: “I originally wanted to use magic to tell them our location directly, but before leaving here, I still have some questions that I need you to answer… Mr. Shuge, this is very important, I need to know Your attitude.”

“Just like when we were in Salem City before?”

“Yes, but this time, it’s my turn to ask you.”

Wei Lin seemed to have a smile on her face, but her tone was very serious, which made Xiuge quickly wake up. He nodded and said sincerely: “Okay, I’m listening.”

“Well, then the first question: Are you really going to accept the conditions put forward by Princess Sophia or the Ernst family? This decision may bind us forever to the power of the Walter royal family or the Ernst family. You It should be clear that escaping from Bolden is ten thousand times harder than escaping from Salem.”

Hearing this question, Xiuge couldn’t help but laugh. He shook his head and said: “I have no such plan, not before, not now, in the future… maybe there will be in the future, I can’t say for sure. We have to see what the world becomes.”

Xiuge’s answer seemed decisive and straightforward, as if it was an answer that had been prepared long ago, which made Weilin a little stunned.
