The sun is high - #139 - Chapter 138 Blue Raven

Shuge escapes from the dream sanctuary and wakes up.

It was still dark outside, and the magic wall clock on the wall told him that it was two o’clock in the morning, and he had only “slept” for more than four hours.

Logically speaking, after working so hard for so long and enduring such torture in the Dream Sanctuary, he should choose to continue sleeping. However, now, the constant surge of vitality and vitality in his body made him extremely excited. ——This is a physiological state that he cannot subjectively suppress at all. It has nothing to do with emotions and thoughts, but simply feels energetic.

The pain he endured in the Dream Asylum made his clothes soaked again.

So Shuge had no choice but to go into the bathroom again and take a thorough bath.

After that, he sat down in front of the desk, turned on the crystal desk lamp, and opened the curtains slightly.

The soothing incense was rekindled, and then Shuge poured himself a cup of hot tea. While drinking it slowly, he carefully reviewed his experience in the dream sanctuary in his mind.

Before leaving the Dream Sanctuary, he grabbed Theseus and asked him many things about the era of lost gods.

However, Theseus did not have much enthusiasm for this topic. Most of the answers he gave were very perfunctory or unclear.

When Shuge mentioned the human female figure he last saw in the dream of the rats, Theseus jokingly and euphemistically said that although he understood that era, it did not mean that he knew all the “little fishes”. Shrimp”, telling Shuge not to make a fuss.

This is really thought-provoking.

Shuge himself knew very well whether there was any “fuss” or not.

But Theseus’s expression on this matter is unpredictable. In view of this guy’s habit of being the Riddler, Shuge is not even sure whether his attitude is really “indifferent” or whether To imply something deliberately.

All in all, it’s really frustrating.

“well……”

After drinking a cup of tea, Xiuge still didn’t feel sleepy.

But in the middle of the night, he didn’t want to continue studying the “Poetry of the Night”, so he directly picked up the stacked newspapers.

The Ernst family has always done an extremely good job in intelligence.

Therefore, Xiuge soon discovered that what was placed here was not only the “Bolden Daily News” of these days, but also some important news details compiled by special personnel. By matching the two, you can read them more clearly and quickly. Get really useful information.

Late-night reading in a stable environment has always been easy to get addicted to, so soon, Xiuge was completely immersed in these complex worlds intertwined with important news from most of the Vanen world.

It started to snow again in the sky, and the cold snowflakes swirled and fell in the light of the street lights.

Suddenly a wind blew, and the fluttering white elves followed the cold wind and moved farther away.

They passed by the garden in front of the villa, passed by the vehicles bearing the royal family logo of Walter, passed by the conference hall that was still brightly lit, with the sound of heated conversations and discussions coming from time to time, and finally landed on an unknown person. dark corners.

The cold air once again organized its own offensive and began to march towards the Goddess Plains at an alarming speed.

After several consecutive heavy snowfalls, white has become the main color on the Luowei Plateau and the Half Goddess Plain.

According to this year’s rate, I am afraid that after the arrival of the Winter Festival, heavy snow will cover most towns and main roads on the Goddess Plain.

Now everyone knows what will happen at that time.

However, on the surface, countries are still negotiating frequently.

There are active reporters everywhere. Major newspapers and publishing houses are now like sharks smelling blood. As long as there is friction and conflict anywhere, or a certain political figure publishes shocking violent remarks, they will They will immediately swarm in, and in just half a day, a series of news will be produced that will make people nervous.

Compared with the blatant and uncomfortable trend of public opinion that appeared in Salem City at the beginning, these messages now are relatively restrained, but the huge waves they constitute are overwhelming and pervasive, making people feel depressed and suffocating.

For Shuge, Fanen is of course a world full of strange elements.

But now, the world is moving closer to a time and space that he knows.

With the rapid decline of the Law Committee’s control over the Luowei Plateau, the mixing technology of steam, magic, and crystallization has formed a new wave. After realizing that this trend has become unstoppable, we stand on the opposite side of the Luowei Plateau. The human elites also made the decision decisively.

For humans, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, imitating and learning are the purest instincts.

In the past history of Van En, the spell casters in the Legal Committee have always been the most intelligent group among mankind and also control the most resources. However, when such a group of people receive high-level instructions from the Legal Committee, they begin to control themselves. When their resources and knowledge begin to tilt in this new direction, the creativity and influence they unleash will surely shock the entire world.

For the Plateau Alliance, now is an extremely important window period.

The mass production and promotion of new ordnance takes time, which is a valuable advantage gained by the Votel countries, from having ideas, to obtaining and verifying research results, to reforming factories and workshops, and training related workers, and then To the construction and establishment of the entire production chain, this requires a lot of resources and energy.

Although the existence of magic can simplify many processes, human behavior and decision-making can also slow down or even contain this explosive change to a certain extent.

From the newspapers, Xiuge could smell the strong smell of blood.

In the past few days, news of the deaths of famous gunsmiths, master alchemists, and mages and scholars have appeared frequently in the plains countries, including some very influential members of the Legal Council. Although these events were reported in the Bolden Daily News The descriptions were all “accidental death”, but based on the documents provided by the Ernst family, Shuge easily came to a conclusion-the secret agents and spies of the Votel countries were on the move.

Relatively speaking, the ability of the Legal Committee and the plain countries to penetrate the Luo Wei Plateau is much weaker.

This is related to the thunderous measures adopted when the Council and the Legal Committee broke openly before. On the premise that a large number of people were demobilized, expelled, detained and even assassinated, the internal intelligence network and the security of important figures on the plateau were improved to a considerable extent. protection.

The border blockade and the St. Steele Kingdom’s strict defense of the Law Committee further expanded this advantageous situation.

Weapon innovation.

Official appointments.

The army was reorganized.

News like this constantly hit Xiuge’s brain.

Through previous eavesdropped conversations, Shuge also knew that before the Winter Festival, the entire aristocratic circle in the Kingdom of Walter would be completely stabilized.

By then, several important families will have completely withdrawn from the historical stage of the Kingdom of Walter – among these nobles, some are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and some are because of their private connections with the Black Sun Society, and some of them are even In a certain manor, a ritual place related to the Black Sun Society was also discovered.

But Xiuge knew clearly that Princess Sophia, or Princess Sophia, did not do these things to suppress the actions of the Black Sun Society as much as possible. Her real goal was to ensure the stability of the situation in the rear, cleanse and integrate the aristocratic power, and steadily advance the pace of the war.

Xiuge leaned back on the chair, called out the mage’s hand, and slowly refilled his cup of tea.

This is a major effect brought by the plant heart of “Walking Forest” – now, his magic power has basically returned to normal. Although it still has a faint dark green color, its corrosiveness is more controllable.

The most direct effect is that his magic hands and water-making techniques can finally be used openly.

A huge magic photo caught Shuge’s attention.

In that photo, he could see many workers and soldiers carrying military supplies into the carriage of a steam train. Even though this magic photo could only display dynamic content within a few seconds in a loop, Xiuge could still You can feel a special magical industrial beauty from the sparkling crystals and magic patterns on the side of the carriage.

“It seems that the railway tracks previously laid by the Votel Kingdom have now begun to be fully converted to military use.”

He is very clear about the role that this kind of railway vehicle can play during the war. At the current stage of Van En, the transportation capacity it provides cannot be achieved by any magic, unless there are amazing spellcasters who can study it in the future. Come out of the “mass transmission” magic in the novels you read in the past, otherwise railway transportation will be the most important pillar of Van En for a long time to come.

Not to mention, this steam train combined with magic must have other functions.

Transfer, protection, attack, as a mobile weapons platform or mystical carrier…

There are so many things it can do.

As heavy snow begins to slowly cover the Goddess Plain, although the rail coverage on the plateau is still limited, it can still bring a major supply advantage to the armies of the plateau countries. Once the battle situation is favorable, the battle line begins to advance towards the Goddess Plain. It can also serve to extend supply lines.

There were too many things in his head, which made him a little annoyed.

So he temporarily turned off the magical secret device that provided warmth, opened the curtains, and then pushed open the window forcefully.

The cold wind immediately brought fresh air in, which made Xiuge’s spirit slightly lifted.

He looked into the distance, and happened to see the conference hall where the council mages gathered was extinguishing the lights little by little – this meant that the long meeting of the mages was finally over, and poor Wei Lin was probably finally over. There is a chance to rest.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… working overtime is really miserable.”

Shuge shook his head and sighed while holding the teacup.

The air in the room quickly changed, but just when Xiuge was about to reach out and close the window, something flew over with wings in the dark night. Before Xiuge could react, the shadow stopped. On the windowsill outside.

This is a raven.

A huge raven.

Its species should be the “blue raven” in the Black Nest Mountains, also called the blue-winged raven. It is numerous and very distinctive. This one is extra large and its feathers are also very bright. Although it is because of the snowy night It got a lot wet from flying, but overall, it’s still very beautiful.

Whether it is the Luowei Plateau or the Goddess Plain, few people would harm this creature. Firstly, the raven is smart enough and is regarded as the messenger of the goddess of magic in many stories. Secondly, there is folklore that harming the raven will attract evil spirits. Words of doom.

Over time, this kind of bird has become a famous bully among birds. They know that humans will not harm them, so they often walk openly on the streets of the city. When the mood comes, they will even play pranks on pedestrians, or even play pranks on pedestrians. Trying to snatch snacks from children’s hands.

One person and one raven stared at each other in the cold wind. The scene was quite strange and interesting.

The thoughts in Xiuge’s mind were spinning rapidly. After about two seconds of surprise and hesitation, he stretched out his hand like an ordinary person who was suddenly frightened, and made a simple driving action.

However, the raven was extremely courageous. Faced with Shuge’s driving, it did not move. Instead, it jumped twice in a row and jumped directly onto Shuge’s desk.

It seemed as if it had arrived at its own home. It jumped twice happily, and then selected the stack of newspapers that Xiuge had just read before.

It stood up directly and turned twice, as if it wanted to use the light of the desk lamp to warm its body.

“…”

Shuge doesn’t believe there are so many random things in the world.

The raven in front of me is very similar to Princess Sophia who used transformation magic to visit Zeke Ernst before, both in species and size.

Although there is no obvious magical aura on this raven, there is no way to prove that the other party is an ordinary blue raven.

If the person standing in front of you is Princess Walter who has a bad taste and deliberately restrained her aura, it will not be easy to handle.

If he makes any inappropriate move, the trouble will be even greater.

Xiuge took a serious look at the uninvited guest in front of him. Seeing that it was always looking around curiously, he stretched out his hand to pluck the newspaper from under the raven’s feet.

The raven was obviously dissatisfied with this behavior. It pecked in the direction of Shuge’s palm, and then let out a loud “quacking” sound, making it look like a fearless “rogue animal”.

The cold wind was still pouring into the room, so Xiuge immediately controlled the mage’s hand to fly over and closed the open window directly. The sound of the window closing startled the raven.

“You’re not leaving, are you?”

Xiuge sat back on the chair. He glanced at the raven on the table, filled the tea cup smoothly, and then pushed the whole cup over: “Then you are free, there is no bread, only tea, and don’t leave it messy on the table. Come on…can you understand?”

The raven glanced at the steaming tea in confusion, then raised his head and glared hard at Xiuge.
