The sun is high - #144 - Chapter 143 This is a bombardment!

Chatting with Meyer was a strange feeling.

He is actually very young, only in his early thirties now, but maybe it’s because of his speaking style, or because Meyer’s appearance is more mature and steady, which makes Shuge sometimes feel like he’s having a relationship with someone who has a similar relationship. Conversation with elders who have rich life experience.

But when Meyer used some humorous sentences, he would become easy-going again. When talking about the “works” that Shouge had written in the past, Meyer was actually quite insightful, which made Shouge feel What is extremely surprising is that Meyer’s views on those works are similar to those of Walter’s princess Sophia.

“The real reason why Mr. Sugar’s works are so popular is that the stories you write are never about nobles, officials and politicians… In your stories, ordinary people living at the bottom of society are Talent is the protagonist.”

Several medical students passed by and said hello to the professor sitting on the bench, so Meyer nodded in response, and then he said to Shuge: “They can see their own lives from inside, and they can see what they can understand. , Cognitive things…this is the most important thing.”

“I might want to write something else in the future.”

Meyer was obviously supportive of this: “That’s great! Is it still the same theme as in the past?”

“Probably not… maybe it has something to do with it? After all, there are still many people who like to watch it.”

“Very good, very good.”

After staying in the Ernst Manor for a while, Shuge almost forgot the feeling of sincere communication with others, and the conversation with Meyer greatly satisfied Shuge’s spiritual needs in this aspect. .

Sugar remembered Alfred’s previous introduction to Frey Meyer, so he asked: “By the way, since Professor Meyer is from St. Steele, why is he staying in Bolden now? What if? If a full-scale war breaks out, maybe the Saint Steele Army will also need a doctor like you?”

However, Meyer’s next answer made Shuge’s jaw drop.

“To this day, I am still on the wanted list of the St. Steele Royal Family.”

“What?”

“Ten years ago, I had been living in St. Steele, working as an alchemist, doing research, and writing articles… Later, I accidentally got involved in a case. The nature of that case was very serious, and I was considered It was a deliberate assassination of King St. Steele.”

Xiuge’s eyebrows moved twice.

He had just had a premonition that the matter involved by the other party must be quite big, but he did not expect it to be so big.

“So, you’re still on the run?”

“Strictly speaking, this case was overturned three years ago, and the pursuit against me has ended.”

Meyer emphasized the word “on the surface”, so Sugar immediately understood what he meant – that is, the St. Steele royal family did not let him go easily. Even now that the verdict had been publicly overturned, Meyer I am still on their blacklist.

This incidates that……

Even if Frey Meyer was not involved in the so-called assassination, he did something that the St. Steele royal family could not tolerate.

“So…what exactly did you do?”

“I didn’t do much. I just tried to start a newspaper with my friends and published a few articles.”

Speaking of this matter, Meyer was very indifferent: “The original purpose of starting that newspaper was to fight for some meager rights and interests for the miners in St. Steele, but later, the relationship between the miners and the royal family It completely deteriorated and several conflicts broke out, so our newspaper was closed down and quite a few members were arrested…and then came the assassination.”

“I see.”

Shuge nodded sadly.

He had heard more than once about the workers of St. Steele from others.

St. Steele is connected to the vast snowfields of the north. Although this cold country has countless rich crystal mines, it must rely on a large number of miners for continuous mining. It is no exaggeration to say that St. Steele, the northern border, has The country is actually a country built on the backs of countless crystal mines and miners.

However, now, the miners’ endurance has obviously reached its limit, and the rulers of St. Steele also know this very well. This is why they are rushing to participate in this war – there are only external contradictions. Only if the fighting is fierce enough, the domestic threat will be further reduced.

“The miners at St. Steele were not an exception, I think they represented a phenomenon.”

Meyer leaned his body against the warm winter sun: “The so-called crystal mine is just a scene and carrier, a farm, a pasture, a workshop… maybe there will be other places in the future, with the further combination of steam and magic. As well as the evolution of war, similar situations are likely to spread to more areas and eventually become a common phenomenon.”

“It sounds like you are not optimistic about the development of steam technology?”

“No, contrary to what you said, I think the development of this technology is very important. Human weapons and tools should not be limited to the field of magic. Although magic is equally important, looking at the history of the past hundreds of years, magic The development has been infinitely close to the limit of what we can touch, so we need something new to open up the situation.”

Meyer stared at Shouge: “Human beings need more possibilities, more possibilities that are stable, have potential, and are pioneering and innovative.”

Hearing Meyer’s words, Shouge frowned slightly. He pondered for two seconds, then raised his fingers to build a magic pattern, and set up a basic magic ritual on the spot that could block human voices.

After that, he asked: “Professor Meyer, I very much recognize the views you expressed in the newspaper, and I admire you very much for what you have done in the past, but now, I want to understand more clearly what happened to you.” The reason for your opinion…I noticed that you are repeatedly emphasizing the concept of ‘human beings’, which seems to have gone beyond the scope of the topic we were talking about at the beginning.”

After hearing Shouge’s question, Meyer sighed for the first time in front of Shouge.

“Mr. Sugar, when Major Alfred introduced you to me, he emphatically emphasized that you are the most special alien among all nobles… This is not malicious slander or slander. In my opinion, this is what he has given me. Your highest compliment.”

Meyer paused, and his face stagnated for a moment in the sunlight, as if at this moment, he was using his brain to think and consider infinitely.

After a brief silence, Meyer said slowly: “Mr. Sugar, I know you may have some experiences that are different from ordinary people, or even different from ordinary mages… But if I tell you, what happened in St. Steele What do you think about the similarities between the assassination of the king and the massacre in Salem City that you personally experienced?”

…

Time passed little by little, and it was almost noon.

After all, Meyer is still a professor in this college. He still has important courses and meetings to attend, so Shuge stayed alone on this garden bench and began to think seriously about Frey Meyer. This person, and these messages he conveys to himself.

“Well…boy, this is a very special person!”

The voice came from Xiuge’s spiritual world.

Since the running rats fell into a long sleep due to absorbing too much power from the Mother Earth, the rats composed of the wills of the Ernst family temporarily replaced Snitch. Not only that, these knowledgeable people A soul with broad life experience has also become Xiuge’s personal advisor.

Countess Alexandra is always very positive when expressing her opinions: “I can feel that he has very lofty pursuits and ideals. Although I don’t know his true thoughts yet, my intuition tells me that this is the case. That’s right.”

“I do not think so!”

Jacob’s voice jumped out, and he sang the opposite tune to the countess as always: “His ideas are dangerous!”

“Danger? Please tell me.”

“St. Steele is the ‘country of crystallized minerals’. Without the mining of crystallized minerals, this country will immediately collapse. However, the professor and his friends are trying every means to gather and unite the miners. This behavior itself is It’s very subtle. If they are guided with intention, those miners may become the force to overthrow the rule of a country… As for his thoughts and actions, they are even more unreasonable!”

“You mean, the things he did for the workers?”

“certainly!”

As a very old-school Walter nobleman, Jacob naturally expressed his views. At the same time, he was also surprised by Shuge’s reaction: “Child, you are not surprised by his thoughts?”

“It’s okay. I’ve seen and heard of many people like this before.”

“Really? That’s amazing.”

Faced with the surprise shown by Jacob and other souls, Shuge did not explain any more.

After all, that was something that happened in another time and space. Perhaps in two different worlds, there may still be people and things with similar trajectories, but it is not advisable to discuss the two together in such a crude manner.

Different from the focus of Jacob and other family wills, Shuge is now more concerned about another thing Meyer said.

Meyer was one of the few people Shoug had ever met who believed that there was another driving force behind the war.

And the “pusher” he refers to is the Black Sun Society.

“I don’t understand, Mr. Sugar. That’s something I haven’t been able to figure out yet.”

Meyer said this: “Provoking conflicts and promoting war… all of this should have a cause, either because of hatred or because of interests, but according to my observation, there have been too many incidents in recent years that lack a cause. Reasonable reasons, even if I have some evidence that these things are promoted by the same group of people, I still can’t understand why they do these things.”

Shuge believed what Meyer said.

After all, he is just a sociologist and alchemist. He has no understanding of evil magic and the ancient existences believed in by the Black Sun Society. Human desires, emotions, ideals and interests have no meaning at all in front of those lost ancient gods. .

The existence that the Black Sun Society believes in is inherently chaotic, so trying to infer their behavior through human rationality will naturally lead to misunderstandings.

After Meyer’s words, Shuge also had new views and speculations about the sudden attack by the army of the Kingdom of St. Steele along the Isa River-whether there was a gangster behind this abnormal behavior. Is the Japanese association secretly promoting and operating?

“If this is the case, then the situation in the Kingdom of St. Steele is indeed not very optimistic… If a country’s military command system is successfully penetrated, then all the soldiers under its control and command will become extremely unstable. .”

The long period of concentrated conversation and thinking gave Xiuge a headache, so he couldn’t help but sigh, and then mobilized the magic power in his body and began to soothe his spirit.

At this moment, a crisp voice came from the side: “You’re very tired, right? That’s how you discuss and chat with your instructor. He’s so energetic, it’s like he won’t be tired!”

Xiuge turned his head and saw that Sally had arrived behind him at some point. He had been thinking too seriously before, so he didn’t notice her approach.

At this time, the girl who once worked as a bartender in a beer hall in Salem City was holding the back of the bench with her hands. Her upper body was exposed into the midday sun, with a faint smile on her face. smile.

Such a scene is certainly beautiful.

At least it was enough to make Shuge temporarily forget about the things that were weighing on his mind.

So he also smiled: “What? Is the council willing to let your assistant out?”

“In fact, they don’t need my help at all. Magic is so convenient. One person can complete the work of five or six people.”

As she said that, Sally lowered her head suddenly. This action of hers was very bold, and her face was already in Xiuge’s ear: “And it’s noon now. Even a mage has to have lunch, right?”

Probably because of the close distance between the two of them, a rather fresh smell penetrated Xiuge’s nostrils – it smelled like a potion made from magic plants and ordinary herbs.

“How does it taste? I mixed it myself, a trial product!”

“It’s pretty good. I like the smell of the herbs in it. Maybe you can consider adding more.”

Shuge’s serious attitude made Sally very happy, but then she remembered something again, so she quickly raised her head and glanced around: “By the way, Miss Wei Lin is not here?”

“She wanted to complete the first phase of her project before the army set off, so until now, she is still staying in her laboratory.”

Xiuge could see the innocent thoughts of the girl next to him very clearly, so he suppressed a smile and shook his head: “Where do you want to have lunch? I’m treating you today.”

“Okay, then…”

While he was speaking, Xiuge suddenly felt his temples jump twice, and then, his originally extremely peaceful spiritual world suddenly stirred up turmoil.

This is a sign of approaching danger.

So Xiuge immediately stood up, and his heart that had gained the power of “Walking Forest” began to beat faster, sending majestic magic power to all parts of his body.

With the help of this fast-moving magic power, Xiuge finally clearly captured the source of the dangerous premonition.

He raised his head and looked at the sky on the north side of Bolden City.

Under a faint cloud, several black arcs suddenly appeared. They were dragging traces of dangerous magic power and were falling rapidly towards the city!

This is shelling!
