The sun is high - #191 - Chapter 190
Xiuge’s knowledge of this young man whom he had only met twice in the past was very limited.
He only remembered that during the demonstration in front of the Peace Newspaper Office, Felix seemed to have shown a very good level of literacy and knowledge, and also left a certain impression on people in terms of language skills and etiquette. This young leader of the mutual aid association , seems to have its own uniqueness in mediating conflicts and handling interpersonal relationships.
And now, these children “picked up” by Felix seem to have confirmed that Felix’s virtues are far beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
In normal times, any kind person might help a child in difficulty, but harsh living conditions and a dangerous environment will make people more inclined to protect themselves. In today’s difficult conditions Next, I still insist on helping others…
“What, a saint came out of Salem City?”
Shuge sighed silently, then sat down next to the bed and began to check Felix’s condition.
Although he is neither a professional doctor nor a mage who is proficient in healing magic, he can still do much more than this group of children whose average age is only seven or eight years old.
Shuge soon discovered that Felix was suffering from a high fever. There were no obvious wounds on his body. Several flesh wounds had healed and there were no symptoms of infection or suppuration. So Shuge immediately changed his mind. , completely shrouding Felix with his own magic power.
Relying on the keen perception of vitality brought by the “Walking Forest”, Shuge quickly successfully located the cause of Felix’s current state.
Marlena, who had been staying nearby and observed the change in Shuge’s expression, asked nervously: “How is Mr. Felix?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as you think.”
Xiuge sighed: “He is tired.”
He wasn’t lying. In fact, Felix’s current state was most likely caused by fatigue, stress, and long-term malnutrition.
Anyone who stays in a tight state for a long time in such a harsh environment and lacks food and clothing will easily fall ill. What’s more, judging from the situation here, Felix has obviously spent all the best conditions and resources. He gave it to the children he rescued.
Once he found the cause of the problem, Shuge immediately started working on it.
According to the most basic magic principles proposed by Merlin Lehe, the essence of healing magic is to interfere with and influence the vitality in the human body. Therefore, even the first aid spells used to stop bleeding will not work on an uninjured person. When used by ordinary people, it can also play a role in boosting spirits.
So Xiuge unfolded the magic book that originally belonged to Wei Lin.
Wei Lin likes to make the most comprehensive and careful preparations at all times, so the number and types of magic she has selected and imprinted are far beyond the imagination of ordinary mages. There are enough magic related to healing alone. There are ten pages, and it even contains a river valley-level battlefield healing magic that can cover a huge area and heal all the injured within it.
Obviously, Wei Lin has implemented the principle of “preventing problems before they happen” to the extreme.
Seeing these pages, Xiuge couldn’t help but smacked his lips.
His magic book had been replaced by Wei Lin before. Presumably at this time, Wei Lin must have discovered some problems in her choice of magic seals.
Actually speaking, it’s not a big deal, it’s just that there are some “small deviations” in the type of magic chosen when imprinting magic.
Battlefield magic accounts for 80%, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem, right?
Shuge retracted his thoughts, and then he quickly tore out a page from the magic book with a stream-level “healing seed” engraved on it.
In the eyes of Marlena and other children who secretly came to the door of the room to spy, Shuge’s magic began to operate calmly, so the page slowly flew up, spinning gracefully in the air, and then filled with rich life. The magical luster of the breath gradually poured into it, lighting up the complex and fine lines on the pages that were like plant roots.
Under the eyes of the children with reverence and yearning, the book page, filled with the strong brilliance of life, turned into a tree seed in the air, and then it slowly fell and began to “grow” on the ground beside Felix’s bed.
Within a few seconds, an emerald-green, translucent magic sapling exuding freshness appeared in the room. Perhaps due to the influence of Shuge’s magic, this sapling seemed to be particularly lush and healthy. Among their leaves Tiny green light spots continued to float out and towards everyone in the room.
In order to further enhance the effectiveness of magic, Xiuge quickly constructed several simple healing magic models and applied them to Felix.
As a result, wrapped in the rich breath of life, Felix’s condition began to change significantly. His originally haggard and gray complexion improved at an alarming speed, and his originally frowning brows slowly relaxed.
After seeing this obvious change, Malena laughed happily, and it was only then that Xiuge discovered that under the black dust and stains, there was actually a lovely face full of energy.
“Okay, let’s go out and wait… Of course, if anyone feels unwell, they can stay here for a while. Your Mr. Felix will wake up soon.”
Although Shuge had behaved as gently as possible, the identity of the spellcaster still shocked the children, so they immediately withdrew obediently, and Shuge also stood up and walked out with Marlena. Room.
Only then did he have the opportunity to seriously look at and observe the living environment of these survivors.
Or should I say, living environment?
Because this place really doesn’t look like a normal house, but more like a huge warehouse with many shabby beddings, blankets and clothes.
Everything here must have been tidied up by the older children of Felix and Marlena. Although it looks depressing and cramped, it is still in order, and there is a pavement on the ground near the window. There is a huge tablecloth with many toys on it, including building blocks and some metal models. In addition, there are several alchemy toys that are very popular in the Kingdom of Delan, but the inferior magic crystals embedded in them have been exhausted. have their own magic, which makes them complete ornaments.
On a wooden shelf nearby, there was a small silver moon pendant hanging. Shuge recognized this kind of pendant. It was a customary gift on the goddess plain. It was given by parents or other elders to children who had just turned one month old. It had a hidden meaning. For the protection of the March Goddess.
“It was originally Xiaolia’s thing. She was hit on the head by a wall during the earthquake… In the end, Felix buried her in the bushes a block away.”
Malena explained softly: “But everyone else is very lucky. At least we are all alive now, and we can meet a good person like you.”
Shuge nodded silently.
He glanced at the dining table and found that the magic bread and drinking water had been completely emptied, so he gently shook his fingers to refill the plates and cups.
There was a huge sound in the distance. It was the sound of the crystal gun being fired, and there was only one sound.
It wasn’t even enough to get the attention of the kids in the room.
So Xiuge pulled up a chair and sat down, and asked: “Marlena, tell me about other things in Salem City, especially the matters with the Legal Committee and those monsters…”
“What do you mean, sir?”
“During this period, especially after the big earthquake, did the mages in Salem City take any actions? Or, did you witness some new changes in those monsters?”
Malena thought seriously for a moment, then nodded: “After the big earthquake, many people saw the mages of the Law Committee appearing near the city wall. Some people said that the mages did this to prevent the city from The monsters escaped, but later, those mages were attacked by monsters during the day, and many people died… so they eventually hid back and never came out again.”
“During the day?”
“Yes, it was at noon…”
Malena came to the window and pointed a direction for Xiuge: “We all saw at that time that the city wall over there was smoking, and black and silver light balls were flying.”
“Black and silver?”
“Yes, several… repeated several times, but I can’t remember the number. I only remember these two colors.”
Marlena’s words surprised Shuge.
Through these narratives, he came to a somewhat sad preliminary conclusion, that is, the members of the Legal Committee in Salem City have not given up action because of the current situation in Salem City. The reason why they have disappeared now is most likely because Because they suffered irreparable damage in previous actions.
Black magic signals are often sent by those mages who have thought that they have no way to survive. Needless to say, the meaning of the silver signal is probably the last extravagant hope of the attacked spellcasters for the Legal Committee and the outside world. Just like Wei Lin when she discovered the strange behavior of the Black Sun Society, she hopes to use this universal signal with special significance to attract the attention of many parties and warn everyone.
But judging from the results, I’m afraid no one cares.
Or maybe the outside world actually noticed these signals, but they ultimately chose to pretend not to see them.
“It seems… I may have to visit the branch of the Law Committee first. No matter what the thoughts of those mages are now, they should be the ones who know the most about the distribution and movement patterns of the descendants of An Yuan in the city.”
Xiuge thought silently in his heart: “Furthermore, if the mages in Salem City can be mobilized, and even borrow the Eye of Mel secret instrument set up in the branch, there may be a chance to contact the outside world… I want to To solve the predicament of Salem City and reopen the sealed ceremony venue, we must work together.”
At this moment, there were some fluctuations in Xiuge’s magic perception, so he immediately turned back and looked at the closed door. Almost the next second, heavy and messy footsteps came from inside, and then The door opened, and Felix’s haggard, scarred face instantly appeared in front of Shuge and the others.
His breathing was a little heavy. It was obvious that the healing magic set up in the room had not fully recovered yet, but there was already a look in his eyes, and he even held a loaded crystal gun in his hand. .
Felix was obviously extremely wary of Shuge, a strange and dangerous spellcaster.
However, when he saw Xiuge’s face, he seemed to be stunned.
At this time, Marlena hurriedly stepped forward: “Mr. Felix! This is Master Alfred who traveled here before the disaster…”
After some hasty words, Marlena finally introduced the origin of Shuge to Felix, and Shuge stood up. He nodded to Felix and spoke in a way unique to mages. The tone said: “As a patient, you’d better go back to the room, don’t waste my magic and magic power… If you have any questions, we can talk in the room.”
Soon, the two returned to the room one after another, and Marlena brought Felix a glass of water, a few slices of magic bread, and a canned fruit.
Then she closed the door for the two of them.
Felix sat weakly on the bed, staring blankly at the translucent magic tree shadow that was constantly exuding the brilliance of life, his face filled with disbelief.
After a moment, Felix moved his gaze to Shuge’s face, and his expression became a little subtle and strange: “Uh… that… Mr. Mage, I seem to recognize you.”
Hearing this sentence, Xiuge couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Normally, many people in Salem City know me before. After all, there are still many readers for the things I write.”
Felix’s mouth dropped open, Shuge was so candid that he didn’t know what to say.
“I use this name, but I don’t want to explain to a child why the writer in Ernst’s old house did not die and became a mage… That would waste a lot of time.”
Xiuge anticipated the other party’s question and gave his own answer. Then he called out the mage’s hand and handed the cup of magic water he created in front of Felix. After the other party reached out to take it, he Said: “I never thought that the leader of the Salem Mutual Aid Association would be so young. Just hearing the name of the Mutual Aid Association, I thought its leader would be an old man.”
Hearing this, Felix showed a bitter smile: “It’s just some ordinary and small work. We couldn’t save many people…and when the disaster happened, I was even locked up in the police station Woolen cloth.”
“But having said that, if those police hadn’t arrested me, I probably wouldn’t be alive now.”
