The sun is high - #176 - Chapter 175 Banquet Hall

In this huge magic sculpture, Shuge can find almost all the gods in Van En.

The beliefs of humans, the beliefs of dwarves and elves, and even the beliefs of plateau ogres, seaside mermaids and islanders…

This sculpture seems to represent the attitude of the Black Sun Society towards the current gods of Brahma – in the eyes of the Black Sun Society, they completely regard the gods recognized by the current Brahma as enemies, and believe that these gods are under the influence of Brahma. Under that black sun, there are just a bunch of hypocritical illusions, incompetent clay sculptures and waste products.

Xiuge’s eyes slowly moved towards the top of the sculpture.

Then he saw that at the top of the sculpture was an image that everyone was very familiar with.

That’s Mel, the goddess of magic.

Her figure is very conspicuous, still covered in light blue tulle and long skirt, but here, her image looks extremely humble and miserable – although she has not endured the loss of limbs like other gods. A cruel punishment, but he is also suffering extremely painful torture.

Above the goddess Mel, a huge dark shadow was floating, looking like a dark void suspended in mid-air.

It was the sun, it was a shadow, it was also a black, emotionless eye.

Its light was shaped into the image of sharp iron chains, and these chains directly penetrated the limbs and body of the goddess Mel, forcing her to kneel down like a prisoner on the mountain made of countless gods’ bodies and corpses. At the top of the mound, it was as if she were a sinner making atonement to the black sun.

Even Xiuge had no real belief in the goddess of magic, but when he saw this scene, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised and confused.

Although he had roughly guessed the attitude of the Black Sun Society towards the gods of Van En before, he did not expect that these people who were still using magic could directly shape the symbols of Van En’s magic power and magical scholarship into This look.

While Shuge was observing this blasphemous sculpture, the lecturer was also paying close attention to Shuge’s expression.

When the lecturer discovered that there was no anger on Xiuge’s face, a look of uncontrollable ecstasy flashed across his eyes. Then he calmed down his expression and stood directly in front of the magic sculpture, his body He bowed slightly, but saluted towards the black sun suspended above the goddess Mel.

“May the dark sun hang high, may the false gods be purged, and may the truth endure forever.”

He recited this sentence devoutly and repeated it three times. Then he straightened up again, made a “please” gesture to Xiuge, and led him toward the exit at the other end of the room.

What the lecturer doesn’t know is that at this moment, the souls of the Ernst family “living” in the spiritual world of Shuge have completely exploded. The goddess Mel is a common belief in the Kingdom of Walter, although Walter The conflict between the kingdom and Merlin Lehe has always been difficult to resolve, but its residents have never lacked devotion to Mer, the great goddess.

Countess Alexandra was a believer in the goddess, so when she saw the scene on the blasphemous sculpture, she was already furious.

“These damn gang…”

After all, Alexandra still retained some of her reserve as a countess. She gritted her teeth and cursed twice, but she could not find words that were not vulgar and could express her emotions.

At this time, Bernhardt, Jacob and other male souls had begun to curse uncontrollably, and a series of unpleasant sayings that Shuge had never heard of were vented from the rat hole of the running rat. Vocabulary The richness and abundance of emotions made Snicki dull and made Xiuge ashamed.

Regarding this, Xiuge was a little bit dumbfounded: “You guys scolded me so unpleasantly, but he couldn’t hear it… He just scolded me.”

After hearing what Xiuge said, these angry souls calmed down, but their anger has obviously not subsided. Even now, Xiuge can still hear one or two curses coming from the depths of the mouse hole from time to time. .

“You can learn other things, but not these.”

Shuge pointed at the running rat and reminded him kindly, but the latter blinked blankly.

“Don’t act stupid, you are not under the control of Goddess Mel… do you know that?”

The running rat understood this sentence, so it nodded hurriedly. As a dependent of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, although it did not know who the goddess Mel was, it knew very well who the power in its body came from.

The big rat’s reaction was very interesting, but Shuge couldn’t relax after seeing it, because in fact, the situation faced by the running rat was similar to his own. Although he had a mage certificate from the Council, he also learned how to He uses magic, but fundamentally he does not believe in the goddess of magic.

Even his original power based on this world is quite different from the “magic power” recognized by the Masters of Van En.

“Until now, I can’t determine where my power comes from… That inexplicable magical inscription, this huge metal disc… What is their source? Is it Theseus? Or someone else What god?”

Shuge thought as he continued to follow the lecturer.

In fact, this is also a major reason why he insisted on risking contact with the Black Sun Society this time. Although Shuge did not think that he would form an alliance with the so-called Black Sun Society from the beginning, Shuge must admit that he must now Make up for your own shortcomings and deficiencies in information and intelligence through contact with the Black Sun Society.

Furthermore, in the current situation, I must further clarify the nature of this group and clarify their subsequent specific plans through in-depth communication with the Black Sun Society.

“At the moment, the Black Sun Society obviously still misunderstands my ‘nature’… In this case, I have a better chance of gaining their trust and intelligence, and the risks I need to face directly are relatively weak. “

Xiuge’s eyes fell on the shawl of the lecturer in front, which was also engraved with the mysterious mark symbolizing the Black Sun Society. Under the light of the corridor, this mark was looming, giving people an incomprehensible and obscure feeling.

“Mr. Shuge, please come this way!”

The lecturer stood at the end of the corridor. He pushed open the heavy door in front of him, and bright light immediately flowed from the room.

Xiuge glanced at him and once again confirmed the condition of the metal disc. Then he walked to the door with steady steps and walked into the brightly lit banquet hall.

In this wide hall, there are twenty chairs neatly arranged, with people sitting on each chair, and directly opposite them is a huge temporary podium. Behind it, there is also a huge sculpture formed by magic and used to blaspheme the gods of Brahma and En.

This scene seems solemn and strange at the same time.

The moment Xiuge entered the banquet hall, everyone in the hall looked up. Their identities were obviously different from those of the ordinary members of the Black Sun Society outside. These people did not wear clothes to hide their faces and faces. Most of them are wearing their original clothes, but these people will have badges, ribbons or shawls with black sun logos on their bodies to prove their identity.

The vision of these people is complicated.

Some of them are extremely enthusiastic, some are full of curiosity, and some are full of doubts…

There is even lust and greed.

It was an undisguised, strong possessiveness directed at Shuge himself, and the people who cast such glances were both men and women. This made Shuge feel as if he was being brought to the stage and waiting to be sold as a special slave. .

The silence in the banquet hall lasted for nearly ten seconds, and then these people clapped as if they had received unified instructions. The warm applause instantly connected into a frenzy and reverberated throughout the hall.

The applause lasted for about five seconds, but then they stopped abruptly.

This made the banquet hall seem even quieter than before.

“Welcome, Mr. Sugar Ernst!”

A voice came from the crowd. Xiuge turned around and saw that it was a man wearing a neat scholar’s uniform. He had black hair, a short beard, a unilateral glasses on his face, and a hanging on his chest. Wearing an exquisite pocket watch.

He looked to be fifty years old, but he looked full of energy, and his eyes seemed to be filled with infinite energy.

He went up to the podium, spread out his hands, and said to Shuge: “Your arrival is an honor for us, and it is also a major breakthrough for the Black Sun Association… It seems that we have finally come to the Black Sun.” It’s an important moment for the association to open a new chapter and embark on a new journey!”

After saying this, he bowed slightly forward and introduced himself: “My dear Herbert Galton, here I am the Honorary Lord of the Kingdom of Deland, the Honorary Professor of the Academy of Magic in Deland, the Chairman of the Earth Society, and As the second person in charge of the Black Sun Society, I would like to say hello to you.”

The moment he heard this long list of titles and the name “Herbert Galton”, Shuge couldn’t help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

He knew the name.

As the former world view planner and main copywriter of “The Age of Black Sun”, Xiuge was responsible not only for the construction of the world view and main plot, but also for the review of many scattered game copywritings, among which, There is an “Equipment Copywriting” review item.

He remembered clearly that among the equipment released in the first important version of the game, there was a pocket watch-style accessory, and the name of that accessory was “Herbert’s Contempt”.

The accompanying text for this piece of equipment reads: “Herbert will always remain contemptuous of existing rules.”

Although at that time, Shuge did not seriously think about who the so-called “Herbert” was, nor did he intend to explain the specific meaning of the matching mysterious text, but now he can be sure that he is The “Herbert” mentioned in the copy is the second person in charge of the Black Sun Society!

Because the pocket watch icon of that piece of equipment is so similar to the pocket watch on the chest of the man in front of me…

“Fate is really amazing.”

Xiuge sighed silently. After leaving Salem City for so long, he once again felt the traces from the “script”, but this time, its approach was more cunning, weird and dark. It’s hard to grasp the point.

“Mr. Herbert, thank you for your introduction and invitation.”

Shuge responded politely, then he took a step forward and asked naturally: “On the way here, I heard Mr. ‘Lecturer’ mention that the association is now divided internally by specific research fields. Yes, I am also very interested in this, I wonder if Mr. Herbert can give me a more detailed introduction?”

“sure.”

Hulbert nodded, then he gently raised his finger, and the magic in the banquet hall intertwined at an alarming speed. In the blink of an eye, a magic seat was built next to Xiuge – than Compared with the chair Weilin had built before, this seat looked more refined and delicate. Xiuge could even see the subtle decorations and textures on this seat.

Shuge accepted the other party’s kindness, he slowly sat down, and then Herbert began his introduction.

“Mr. Shuge, as you said, different work contents are divided within the association according to the beliefs of different gods. However, although the beliefs of the association members are different, the gods and powers they follow are also different and even conflict with each other. , but the purpose of our waiting is the same!”

The moment Hulbert said these words, all the important members of the Black Sun Society in the banquet hall immediately responded.

“May the dark sun hang high, may the false gods be purged, and may the truth endure forever!”

Just like the previous lecturer’s prayer in the cubicle, they repeated these words three times, and along with their words, the huge blasphemous sculpture erected in the banquet hall began to continuously emit a faint light, It is as if this sculpture can sense and accept the “beliefs” of the Black Sun Society members present.

“Then, first of all, the Earth Society, which I chair.”

Herbert raised his head slightly and shook his palm slightly, so the phantom of the Mother Earth that Shuge had glimpsed in the Dream of the Rats appeared faintly behind him: “Our faith brings life, fertility and harvest to the earth. Mother of the Earth, we firmly believe that all terrestrial creatures should return to the embrace of Mother Earth.”

As he spoke, his eyes paused slightly on Shuge’s face: “And just as you are thinking now, Mr. Shuge – the underground secrets of the Ernst family are also led by our society, although they are very Unfortunately, it has been damaged due to your interference, Mr. Shuge, but this does not cause much harm to the society and the association. We are also very happy to discuss the beliefs and origins of Mother Earth with Mr. Shuge.”
