The sun is high - #151 - Chapter 150 Declaration of War and Military Camp

The discussion between the two men about the lost gods and their dependents lasted for a long time.

By reading documents from different eras and countries, Vereen came to a preliminary conclusion. She believed that in that unknown distant past, the definition of gods was very different from the current Brahma gods.

Due to the production and development activities of many different intelligent beings such as humans, goblins, elves, etc., today’s Brahma gods have been endowed with many different functions, and there are even infinite subdivisions in specific fields.

The most classic among them are the gods related to “agriculture”.

In the beginning, agriculture and planting were classified under the jurisdiction of the god of life. However, with the changes of time and civilization, different agricultural gods began to appear among different races and nationalities – the benefits these gods can provide , protection and blessing are all different. Some areas want their crops to be healthier, while others want them to grow faster. In some arid areas, due to severe water shortages, local residents even It falls under the jurisdiction of the goddess of magic Mel – they hope that the goddess Mel can increase rainfall so that crops can grow normally.

In other words, all intelligent beings will hope that the gods they believe in can take careful care of every aspect and area of ​​their lives.

At this point, even the goddess Mel, who can truly bring about the miracle of magic, is not immune.

Weilin’s judgment was mainly based on what she saw with her own eyes underground in the Ernst Manor, as well as the information she obtained from those books and materials.

Therefore, she believes that the gods who were active in that long period of time were in a more primitive and pure state. From the perspective of human cognition, gods like the Earth Mother seem to be closer to something with amazing power and A specific existence that can directly cause certain natural phenomena.

In this regard, she even put forward a very bold hypothesis – the gods in ancient times may even be some kind of unique magical creatures. They are powerful enough and have an almost endless lifespan, but they are not immortal…

This hypothesis is indeed groundbreaking and constructive to a certain extent, but Xiuge does not dare to agree easily.

Although he trusts Wei Lin now, he still has reservations in this aspect.

It is naturally impossible for him to reveal the matter between Theseus and the Dream Sanctuary, and the existence of Theseus is actually the most powerful refutation of Wei Lin’s view. After all, that guy is really full of He has too many characteristics similar to humans and other intelligent beings. He not only possesses wisdom, but also possesses a lot of strange knowledge.

And judging from the weird titles Theseus has, this guy must be inseparable from such things as “conspiracy”.

Not to mention, in that era, there were still weird existences like the “Dark Abyss Palace”. Xiuge didn’t think that such a world would be dominated by purely magical creatures.

The other thing was about the female human figure he saw in the dream of the rats.

The figure who accompanied the ocean beasts to attack the Earth Mother Goddess’s family members and helped the ocean side gain the upper hand…

Although it was only a short moment, Xiuge was sure that the other party was using magic, or at least a power that had the same origin as magic.

And all of this reminded him of the goddess of magic.

Especially when he felt the terrifying power sweeping over his body in the dream, he thought of the power he felt when he first flipped through the magic textbook and saw the portrait of the goddess Mel – that was a kind of power directly exerted on the body. On the spiritual level, it seems to be a terrible suggestion to lead others to worship this great goddess.

The difference is that the portrait of the goddess Mel on the title page of the magic book is very weak, and anyone with a slightly firmer will can ignore it. However, in the dream of the rats, Shuge felt how terrifying it was.

It was an astonishing magic that could directly change the will of living beings, and even separate them from the belief in the Earth Mother Goddess.

At the current stage, Shuge consciously cannot tell others about these discoveries. After all, even a heterodox scholar like Wei Lin who is extremely interested in lost gods and magic is essentially a loyal follower of the magic goddess Mel. If he tells others, If something like this comes, it may not only bring a crisis of trust to herself, but may also trigger a crisis of faith in Weilin herself.

Then the trouble will be big.

However, these discoveries of Wei Lin also opened up a new path for her. She told Shuge that she planned to use these new discoveries as a reference to conduct a new round of interpretation of “Poetry of the Night”, and at the same time, she also prepared to use these new discoveries as a reference for her in the past. Looking for traces of the mad poet Aziv among the blocked documents, Weilin believed that if she could find some other poems or written works by Aziv, then the interpretation of “Poetry of the Night” might be better. Take it easy…

Of course, no matter what plans Weilin made, her tasks had to be completed in the military camp.

Because on the third day after the Winter Festival, when Shuge had just gone to the council headquarters to complete the long-overdue stream-level mage certification, the king of Votel held a massive public speech.

Just as Shuge expected, amid the voice of the people and the unstoppable trend, Votel declared war on Delan.

At the same time when the news was made public, as a signatory to the Plateau Alliance agreement, the Kingdom of Hain also declared war on Deland, and the plain countries with the Kingdom of Deland as the core also abided by the treaty and joined the war one after another.

In the area near the northern snowfield, Merlinle and the Legal Committee issued notices to the three deep-sea scholar tower groups of Cedar, Black Nest and Flower Sea, and also issued a declaration of war towards the northern country of Saint Steele. The announcement was immediately met with the roar of the St. Steele snowfield cannon.

Now, this group of northern soldiers who have been driven crazy by the country’s internal struggle will begin to advance regardless of the cost and consequences. They are more eager for tangible results than any other country in the world – only from this war Only by grabbing enough profits can their country and royal family avoid collapse.

Compared with the uneasiness of the residents and soldiers of the plain countries, the Votel people, who were fully enjoying the convenience brought by steam technology, were full of confidence in the war.

The soldiers on leave have basically returned to the military camp, and the reserve troops have begun to gradually move to several important areas, where they will conduct follow-up training and be ready to join the battlefield at any time.

Those veterans who have retired and participated in the Plateau Ogre War have consciously gathered at major recruitment points.

A team of craftsmen composed of giant-eared goblins and dwarves have already set out. With the help of the council mages, they are laying special railways for war purposes at an alarming speed. A large number of workshops that used to be controlled by old nobles have now been After returning to the name of the Votel government, they were forcibly divided and reorganized, and formed into large factories. Large steam machinery and magic equipment were gathered together and began to undergo unified debugging by the college craftsmen.

Next, they will form an important lifeline for Votel to support the development of subsequent wars.

…

Even just walking on the street, Shuge could hear the thunderous roar of the huge machine called the country in operation.

At the logistics window outside the Fifth Chasseur Regiment’s station, Xiuge finally received the equipment and military uniforms assigned to him.

The equipment is relatively simple, with only a few items.

They are a dagger made of Demonic Silver.

A new type of revolver, equipped with one bag each of ordinary ammunition and crystal ammunition.

A magic book with various battlefield magics and rituals imprinted in advance.

Several high-quality magic crystals used to temporarily replenish magic power.

And a magic pendulum specially made by the council for battlefield use.

Apart from that, there was nothing else. Seeing that Xiuge was obviously a mage entering the military camp for the first time, the council mage who distributed the supplies specifically reminded him that the ammunition could be withdrawn at any time. If the magic silver dagger and pistol were lost, they would be lost. You can also collect it again after completing the report, but magic books and high-quality crystals are now scarce materials. Once lost, you will definitely not be able to get supplies in the short term, and you will also need to accept regulatory penalties.

Looking at the densely packed rules and regulations on the wall next to him, Xiuge nodded seriously.

As a military mage, his military uniform composition is different from that of ordinary soldiers.

In addition to the standard clothes and trousers, spellcasters are also issued an additional special windbreaker, which was obviously designed with the participation of the Mage Council, because it has many details specifically tailored to the needs of spellcasters.

The entire military uniform is generally black as the main color, and is not equipped with a military cap, replaced by a detachable hood.

There is no military rank on the military uniforms of the mages, but there are emblems on the chest to indicate the level of the mage. Normally, these emblems will not have anything special, but when passing the checkpoint, magic can be injected into them to make them glow to prove it. own identity.

The belt is specially made and can be used to hold the issued standard equipment. In addition, it also provides two additional pockets for holding magic books. After all, each spellcaster will definitely not use only one magic book. .

Xiuge finished changing his clothes in the cubicle of the wooden house next to him, and sorted out all the equipment such as the magic silver dagger, revolver, and magic book. Then he took his luggage and officially entered the Fifth Chasseur Regiment. ‘s residence.

Duden, the guard who had been accompanying Xiuge before, has now returned to his original team. After entering the military camp, the safety of the accompanying mages will no longer be the responsibility of ordinary soldiers.

As one of the elite regiments of the Kingdom of Votel, the Fifth Chasseur Regiment is very strict in personnel selection. Even new recruits must pass a series of screenings. Therefore, most young people who can come here are very excited. At this time, the new order had not been issued, so they had time to gather together to communicate, discuss, and study the new firearms in their hands. Some of them even took out the Dragon Teeth deck and played a game of cards.

Compared with these new recruits who saw everything fresh, Xiuge, who had “inherited” many soldiers’ memories and received guidance from General Bernhardt, seemed unusually calm and collected. He did not make any pause, just like everyone thought. Like the arrogant spell casters among them, they walked towards the huge house specially reserved for the council mages.

The moment the door was pushed open, a warm breath brought by the magic ceremony immediately spread over the room. The breath of magic kept beating in the room. It was also not very quiet here. After all, joining the war would not be a good thing for most spellcasters. It’s also the first time for them.

Many of the people gathered here were raindrop-level mages or mage apprentices who had not yet had a formal rating. They were touched by the magic ritual set up at the door, and the stream-level mage emblem on Shuge’s chest glowed on its own, attracting many people. human gaze.

The space inside the house is much larger than it looks from the outside. At first glance, it is the result of the solidification of the “Extension Ceremony”. Before Xiuge could further observe the other people in the house, the door behind Xiuge was blocked again. The people pulled away, and then, along with the hum of magic, a dazzling light lit up, attracting almost everyone’s attention.

Wei Lin stood at the door with a cold face. She glanced at the lake-level mage emblem on her chest, forced her magic power to suppress the obstructive light, and then walked in with her luggage.

She carried a lot of things, all of which were books.

Beside her, two mage hands held a stack each, and she was holding a stack in her own hand. She didn’t look like she was going to fight, but like she was going to the library to catch up on papers.

Wei Lin’s eyes drifted over, so Shuge sighed and had no choice but to reach out and take a stack of books from his magic teacher.

“follow me.”

Wei Lin said softly, then adjusted her windbreaker, turned around and walked towards the stairs on one side.

She has also changed into the clothes of a military mage, and her whole temperament has become different because of this.

The windbreaker Wei Lin wore was a bit loose, which hid her body curves very well. Half of her face was wrapped in a standard scarf of the 5th Jäger Regiment, and her exposed eyes were full of displeasure and coldness. , coupled with the oppressive feeling of the lake-level magic scholar and her unique temperament, the whole person looks like an exquisite ink-colored ice sculpture.

In this way, Shuge followed Wei Lin to the second floor and stopped in front of the second room in the long corridor on the left.

She took out a key and opened the door, then walked in with Xiuge.

This is obviously an office, and someone must have used it not long ago. There is even a newspaper from more than ten days ago on the table.

“Miss Wei Lin, you seem to be moving.”

Xiuge put down the book and made a joke.

Weilin glanced at him, and then put down the things in her hands. She said, “Time is too short. I have to sift out the truly valuable documents before the army sets off. The rest of the books can only be temporarily stored in Here…after going to the battlefield, life and death are unknown.”

She took off her scarf and hung it on the chair: “Mr. Sugar, I brought you here to remind you that you have to remember which books to return if I can’t come back from the battlefield.”

…

I have a cold and a fever, and I feel terribly dizzy.

The map we promised was not finished yet (it’s still a little bit close)

Double updates will be released first
