The sun is high - #201 - Chapter 200 Plans and Changes

Valery’s performance made Shuge very satisfied.

Shuge actually doesn’t want to use words and emotions to torture a kind and responsible person, but at this moment, this is indeed a very effective method with relatively limited investment.

He must ensure that the Valery mage keeps trusting him and helps him promote the next thing.

The tragic situation in Salem City does not require excessive exaggeration and whitewashing by Xiuge. He only needs to describe it truthfully. It is scary enough. As a magic scholar of the Legal Committee, Valery heard about the descendants of An Yuan. After the narration, he was even more convinced of this – with the magic knowledge he had mastered, Valery immediately realized that the extremely terrifying possibility described by Shuge was real.

If those sludge-like monsters already possessed intelligence close to that of humans, then sooner or later they would be able to learn and master everything humans possess.

Under such circumstances, Merlin Lehe’s blockade is equivalent to buying time for these monsters so that they can continue to hunt the survivors in the city and continue to digest the memories and knowledge of those victims.

In addition, the monster’s body is already filled with magic, which makes it possible for them to “control” magic.

This series of conjectures frightened Valery.

What frightened him was not the possibility of growth of the monster, but the attitude of the outside world.

Valery did not lie to Shuge and the two of them. Merlinle and Merlin had indeed obtained samples of these monsters a long time ago and started research on them. Logically speaking, preliminary conclusions should have been drawn long ago. But until now, Merlinlehe has remained silent.

This means that the research on this monster by the Law Commission scholars has come to a standstill, or the worst case scenario has occurred.

Even Merlin Lehe could not find any effective solution.

“Mage Valery, I have hunted them many times… and even had face-to-face interactions with them. I know this kind of monster better than anyone else.”

Just when Valery felt pain and despair, Shuge gave him a shot in the arm at the right time: “Although they are terrifying and growing all the time, they are not necessarily invincible. At least for now, they are still in the process of poor learning and imitation of humans. We still have a chance.”

Xiuge’s words brought light back to Valery’s eyes, but he still maintained the rigor that a mage should have and raised his hand to write in the air: “Then what do you think I should do? According to the Law Committee According to the current instructions, the ceremonial site needs to be inspected multiple times in batches every day, and no mage has the authority to release the ceremonial site.”

Shuge responded with a smile: “I am sure that Merlin Lehe does not want to solve these hidden dangers, but in the current war background, they are destined to be unable to mobilize a large number of manpower to enter Salem City, nor can they bear the possible consequences of this decision. potential losses.”

“Master Valery, I hope you can seriously think about whether there is anyone else who is trustworthy around you and who also pays attention to Salem City… If there is, you might as well try to reveal to him something about me and You can even try to pass on the things you said…”

“transfer?”

“Yes, Salem City needs more than just Merlin Lehe’s attention… Votel, Deland and the nearby principalities, if we want to solve Salem City’s problems, we need more push.”

…

The exchange between Xiuge and Valery lasted for more than an hour. The two wrote so many magical words in the air that they even formed a slight magical cloud near the city gate.

Naturally, these magical clouds attracted the covetous attention of the two descendants of An Abyss, so Xiuge took advantage of the opportunity to show Valery his extremely skilled hunting skills at the gate of the city.

Of course, he used universal magic this time, and he had to use fire magic to burn these descendants of the Dark Abyss into dregs.

Although he missed some of the essence of the power of the descendants of An Yuan because of this, Xiuge’s performance also dispelled Valery’s doubts and made what he said before more credible.

During the further exchange between the two, Valery brought a small surprise to Xiuge.

When Valery asked Sugar if he needed to deliver the letter to a trustworthy person, Sugar tried to give the name “Frey Meyer”.

When he saw this name, Valery was extremely surprised. After asking Shuge carefully, he found out that this young mage from St. Steele had heard of the pen name “Meyer” before, and even read about it. His newspaper articles.

Based on this relationship, the cooperation between the two seems to have become smoother and more natural.

The two parties agreed to meet at the south gate at noon five days later.

Valery then left all the supplies he had brought, and took away the important information that Shuge told him and the letter that he needed to send to “Frey Meyer”.

After this special meeting ended, Felix slowly stood up from the side. He seemed a little confused and a little disappointed.

“You hope to expose the tragic situation in the city to the outside world through Master Valery? So that Salem City can return to people’s sight?”

Felix’s face was full of confusion: “Can such a move… really bring hope to Salem City? If the war outside is really like what you said, then the Legal Committee I’m afraid you won’t have time to take care of us, right?”

“Felix, the transmission and disclosure of information is just a formality.”

Shuge replied: “The key is that through this method, we can put the hidden dangers represented by Salem City directly in front of everyone.”

“They don’t have to solve the problems in Salem City, but they must understand what the consequences will be if they allow those monsters to devour the entire city and allow them to learn slowly…”

At this point, he chuckled: “Human beings are always like this. When they face different roads, they always try to choose the one that seems easier and more beneficial to them in the short term.” To put it nicely, it’s called pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. To put it in a bad way, it’s just short-sighted.”

“This is a very common problem, and it commonly exists among all groups of people, including the royal families of Walter and Delan, as well as the nobles, and of course ourselves… and what we have to do now, It is to take a more extreme approach and artificially eliminate one of the options for them.”

Shuge said, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. After the running rat appeared from the magic mist, Shuge pointed at the full car that Valery used magic to push into the city gate before leaving. Trailers of various supplies.

As soon as the order was given, Xiuge felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction in the magical connection with Sniqi. However, as Xiuge glanced over, Sniqi could only walk over angrily, with three flexible tails. As soon as the ground rolled up, he consciously tied the trailer behind him.

Felix’s eyes swept across Shuge’s face. He noticed that when he said the words just now, Shuge’s expression turned a little weird. He seemed to be smiling, but he also seemed to be gritting his teeth. Those words It looked like it was squeezed out from between the teeth.

It looks a bit ferocious.

So Felix asked carefully: “Did you just say…’extreme’?”

The next moment, Xiuge’s expression returned to its original state, and he nodded: “Yes, ‘extreme’.”

He walked behind the running rat, stretched out his hand to look through the supplies, and explained at the same time: “I think that if there is a common problem that occurs frequently and is never solved, this represents the ‘understanding’ in our cognition. “Universal solutions’ no longer apply…At such times, special solutions should be adopted for special situations.”

“As I said when I talked to Valery before, for Merlinle and the Legal Committee, there are only two reasons why they chose to block Salem City and shelve matters here.”

Shuge raised his finger: “First, Merlinle and Zhi think they can’t solve the problem here for the time being, and second, because of the current war… they can’t mobilize a large amount of manpower to deal with Salem City while maintaining a huge The mages in the battle line are involved.”

“So now we need to tell everyone out there clearly—”

Having said this, Shuge suddenly raised his voice a little higher: “First of all, the residents of Salem City are not willing to sit still and wait for death. We can find ways to save ourselves, but we must get cooperation and support from the outside world.”

“Secondly, we must warn the Legal Committee and other countries outside that if the problems in Salem City are not resolved, it will not be long before the hidden dangers here will completely break out. By then, no one will be able to stay away, and everyone outside will They will be completely involved… At that time, they will face a situation that is a hundred to ten thousand times more difficult than Salem City!”

From these words of Shuge, Felix smelled a hint of abnormal madness. His lips moved slightly, but before he could speak, footsteps suddenly came from not far behind him, so Felix Si immediately drew his gun and turned around, only to see dozens of crystal muskets aimed at himself, Xiuge and the big rat behind him.

“Well……”

Felix’s body paused, and he immediately stopped moving, his eyes drifting to the side.

Xiuge’s expression was as usual, without even the slightest hint of nervousness on his face, and the huge magic mouse he summoned was now lying on the ground honestly, with a pair of green eyes constantly turning, and there was also no trace of panic or worry. A sign of nervousness.

Seeing this, Felix calmed down a little, but facing these dark muzzles, he still chose to slowly put his weapon on the ground, and then raised his hand to indicate that he had no danger. threaten.

Seeing that Felix had put down his weapon, the people holding crystal muskets all cast their gaze behind Felix.

Whether it was the three-tailed rat that was too big for him or the young man who was standing next to the trailer looking through the supplies in the vehicle, they all deserved more attention than Felix.

Such a big rat could obviously only be some kind of special magical creature, and the young man holding the metal cane was obviously a mage.

When these people were observing Xiuge, Xiuge was also confirming the identities of these people.

In fact, before Valery left, he had already noticed the approach of these people.

Without exception, these people were all dressed as soldiers. They wore the standard military coats of Salem City, and underneath they wore the unique dark blue uniforms of the Kingdom of Deland army. On the left chest of their coats, they all wore waterproof Magic oil paint outlines a somewhat crude “iris” logo.

It is not difficult to see that these people are from Iris Street managed by General Boots.

Shuge also noticed that these soldiers seemed to be all Delan people, or at least of Delan descent – their slightly curly hair and lighter hair color were typical of plains ancestry.

In front of such a group of people, Felix, who has the blood of St. Steele, and Shuge, who obviously has the status of a Walter noble, both seem a bit dazzling.

Looking at these Iris Street soldiers who were waiting in full formation, Xiuge sighed quietly.

He is only one step away from obtaining the new abilities of the Mirror Messenger. If circumstances permit, he can even complete the last “target” on his way home, but now it seems that the plan has not been able to catch up with the changes after all. .

After all, Xiuge’s identity as a mage and the huge running rat brought great intimidation to the soldiers of Iris Street.

At the same time, through quick observation and intuitive judgment, Shuge believed that these guys should be different from the members of the Three Color Brotherhood.

Since they are not pure robbers and robbers, there is naturally room for communication between the two parties, and the words Xiuge deliberately raised his voice before were also aimed at these soldiers on Iris Street—— If General Boots and Iris Street really wanted to do something, then they would not ignore what they just said.

Just as Xiuge thought, the leading man came to him with a frown. He was tall and well-proportioned, with a hint of the unique aura of a professional soldier in his movements. Xiuge noticed that this man’s Also on his waist was a standard rotating crystal gun used by Delan’s army. As far as he knew, this should be a symbol of Delan’s officers.

“I’m sorry to meet you like this, Master Mage…”

Under this situation, the man still maintained basic etiquette. His eyes stayed on Xiuge’s face for a few seconds, and then a trace of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes: “If I’m not mistaken, you seem to Are they the nobles on the plateau? Er, the Ernst family?”

“To be precise, he is an illegitimate son who was exiled by the Ernst family.”

Xiuge smiled and looked at the man twice, then he raised his hand, patted the body of the running rat twice, and said slowly: “I used to live in Salem City. In that old house, I make a living from manuscript fees… maybe you have read what I wrote?”
