The sun is high - #210 - Chapter 209 Unnecessary mercy

Faced with the pressure exerted by a mage, the man with disheveled hair immediately became panicked, and as the pair of shining black eyes approached him, his will to resist quickly weakened under the pressure. He collapsed, so he instinctively turned his head and looked towards a corner of the store.

At the same moment, a “brain spike” that had been trained by Shuge was completed, and its target was a survivor hiding in the corner of the store and trying to move towards the exit of the store.

However, this time, the “brain spike” used to launch a mental impact on the target did not work directly. Xiuge clearly felt that his magic hit a tough protective barrier, and the two magic powers collided with each other. , and disappear invisibly.

So Xiuge immediately took a step forward, and the complex magic patterns appeared and constructed again. A solid wall made of dark blue magic power was erected directly at the entrance of the store, completely blocking the only exit.

At this moment, the Black Sun Society mage hidden in the crowd fought back fiercely, and stream-level destructive magic appeared in the room. It was a “flaming whip” that was very popular among stream-level mages. However, this association mage has obviously made some “changes” to this classic magic. There is actually some heavy black light and shadow in the rising flames, which seems to be mixed with some power from the dark abyss.

The extremely violent magic power fluctuations immediately triggered the magic alarm set in the store, and the ordinary people who stayed in the store fled in panic. Only Xiuge stepped forward to face the sweeping flaming whip. Forward.

With the sweep of the Black Sun Scepter, several thick and powerful black tentacles rolled out from the void, blocking the extremely dangerous flaming whip. To Shuge’s surprise, Charron’s Touch Those black horny shells that were strong enough to withstand ordinary stream-level magic and violent magic explosions actually showed signs of softening in the heat of the strange magical flames!

And this phenomenon shows that the actual power of the other party’s magic, which has obviously been transformed by the Black Sun Society, is likely to have completely exceeded and exceeded its own magic prototype.

Faced with enemies and magic that exceeded his expectations, Shuge’s countermeasures had always been simple and crude.

That is, if conditions permit, directly use the most violent method to defeat and crush the opponent.

Therefore, under the control of Shuge, the Touch of Charron entwined with the flaming whip, with the support of the huge magic power stock, shook aside the deadly flames blocking the way. At the same time, Shuge The wolf tooth tattoo on his right wrist began to tremble violently, and the hound’s tooth that had been “resting” for several days appeared directly in his palm.

This mage from the Black Sun Society obviously has some connection with the Dark Abyss History Society within the society. After the revolver containing the power of the Dark Abyss Hound appeared, surprise and confusion immediately appeared on his face. He seemed to He wanted to speak, but in the next moment, Shuge had already pulled the trigger.

Accompanied by the characteristic terrifying roar of the palace hound, the power from the dark abyss immediately rushed towards the lower body of the mage, and the protective ritual set up by the mage in panic was easily turned into nothingness. Even his left leg was turned into powder in the bite of the hounds.

A tragic howl sounded immediately, but the next moment, the brain spike technique from Shuge directly hit the figure who fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a series of cruel magics used to control prisoners, such as limb mutilation, were also cast on him. When Shuge put away Charron’s Touch and Hound’s Fang, the Association Mage was already ready to be rubbed. It’s so miserable.

The officers and soldiers of Iris Street immediately took over the end of the situation. All the people present were temporarily controlled, and the association mage and the man who suffered the brutal treatment were taken away one after another. They will be with Xiuge this morning. The other captured members of the Black Sun Society were imprisoned and dealt with centrally.

Of course, the “right to dispose” of individual personnel is in the hands of Shouge, which is the result of his agreement with General Boots.

After the officers and soldiers left, only Shuge and Gerald were left in the store.

Gerald, who has the blood of an ogre, sat back on his large chair. He squinted and looked at Shuge up and down twice, and then slowly said: “Okay… Mr. Shuge, I really didn’t expect that. It’s a surprise that we can meet again.”

“Me too, Boss Gerrard.”

Shouge stood opposite Gerald with a cane. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect to hear the news about you on Iris Street from other people.”

Gerald was a little surprised: “Others? Who else has mentioned me to you?”

Xiuge dragged a chair and sat down on the opposite side of the long table. At the same time, he replied: “The people from the Three Color Brotherhood, they brought the simple secret instrument you sold to them and planned to use this thing to sneak attack me. Woolen cloth.”

“Oh, well, it’s indeed like what those bastards can do. What happened to them?”

“A few died, and I let the rest go.”

“Good.”

Gerald waved his hand carelessly. He stared at Shuge for two seconds, and then sighed: “Mr. Shuge, are you here because you joined Iris Street?”

“It’s not about joining, it’s about cooperation.”

Shuge corrected: “To be precise, I showed General Boots some of the real troubles and threats that Salem City has to face, and then did some simple ‘magic performances’. In short, he agreed now, and I hope you can use my hand to clean up the hidden dangers in Iris Street.”

Gerald didn’t seem to care much about the process and method used by Sugar to persuade Boots. He blinked and then said: “On the day of the Armistice Celebration, I went to find Schubert and little Sally, only to find out that they had already Just left.”

When Gerald said these words, he had been carefully observing Shuge’s expression. After he saw Shuge’s calm expression, the flesh on his face began to tremble involuntarily. He lowered his voice and asked: ” Did you do it? You picked them up?”

“Um.”

Shuge nodded: “To be precise, he led them to escape from the city. Now old Schubert has settled in Bolden. Unfortunately, one leg is missing. Sally…she entered alchemy. The College of Physicians is now following the Votel army to the front line.”

Hearing Shuge’s words, Gerald’s expression became extremely wonderful. This time, his fat face became even more invisible, and Shuge finally saw some of the ferocious qualities of the ogre bloodline in it.

After a long while, he regained consciousness and nodded heavily: “It’s a good thing to escape. It’s better to lose a leg or be sent to the battlefield than to stay here and wait to die.”

Gerald watched Xiuge relax for a while, his expression kept changing, as if he was thinking about many complex and profound issues.

Finally, he spoke again: “So, you came back from outside Salem City? You have already escaped, why are you coming back?”

“Something’s wrong with the magic.”

“Ha, I guess it must be teleportation magic, right? That kind of thing is always unstable. Nine out of ten people who study teleportation magic will die because of it. This is an understatement!”

Gerald shook his head: “Then, can I ask, what are you planning to cooperate with Iris Street?”

“About getting out, of course.”

Xiuge replied very seriously: “I’m not talking about the escape of one or two people, but… allowing the vast majority of people in this city to escape.”

“Are you awake?”

…

The conversation between Xiuge and Gerald was not very smooth. As a former alchemy store operator, Gerald is not a mage, but his understanding of concepts such as magic, magic, and mysteries is far beyond ordinary people. In this aspect, he can even crush many ordinary mages.

Therefore, after hearing Shuge’s idea, Gerald behaved quite pessimistically.

He believes that the monsters in Salem City have far exceeded the outside world, including Merlinle and his knowledge of those dangerous magical creatures. In addition, there are indeed unstable factors in the town such as members of the Black Sun Society. He believes that sealing Salem City until death, or even taking the most extreme method to “clean up” all living creatures in it, is probably the only feasible and reliable method.

As for the things Shuge said, he had reservations.

However, Gerald still gave his own advice to the “friend” Shuge. He believed that General Boots was not a suitable and reliable partner-this guy who was seriously biased towards the plains people was essentially an extreme and A crazy lunatic is an ultimate profit-oriented person. He may betray everyone at the current stage due to changes in the situation and interests.

Shuge humbly accepted Gerald’s reminders and suggestions, and also accepted the personal gift provided by Gerald – a bag of special crystal bullets.

After his special preparation, the magic power in this bag of bullets is more abundant than ordinary crystal bullets, and the impact and explosion it can create are also more violent. Gerald even imitated some basic magic patterns and made them on those bullets. With a small amount of magic pattern inscription, this move allows these special bullets to create a certain amount of magic flame while causing an explosion.

This kind of bullet is of course very useful for ordinary people, but it has limited effectiveness for Xiuge. However, it also allowed Xiuge to see the amazing creativity displayed by these alchemy craftsmen in extreme environments.

After bidding farewell to Gerald, Shuge returned to the vicinity of the embassy under the guidance of a Iris Street mage. In a rather special sealed room, Shuge saw the demon-strangled silver shackles and the Members of the Black Sun Society who are controlled by various restraining magics.

Yes, after a whole morning and noon effort, all the members of the Black Sun Society in Iris Street who could be sensed and located by the Black Sun Scepter were captured by Shouge and General Boots’ men.

Among these people, the vast majority were grassroots members of the association who had sneaked into Salem City before the disaster. Most of them had already blended into the team of soldiers and officers on Iris Street. As for the man who was personally killed by Shuge in the store The captured association mage is the temporary leader of this group of people.

And this mage is also an important target of Xiu Ge.

After receiving the permission of General Boots, Shuge quickly left the Delan Embassy with a huge cloth bag. Along the way, blood continued to seep out of the bag, and this scene made people on the roadside frightened. They all retreated…

After staying away from Iris Street, Xiuge rode the Running Rat and arrived alone in the ruins of an extremely remote and dark street. The buildings here collapsed extremely seriously, and there were even fewer people living here. And those collapsed walls and roofs have now become an excellent resting place for the descendants of An Abyss.

“Xuge, are you sure you want to do this?”

Alexandra expressed her concern to Shuge in a timely manner. This time, she did not use the title “child”, but directly called Shuge’s name.

Because through the magical connection between the two parties, she already knew that Xiuge was now preparing to do something that was completely inconsistent with his principles of doing things.

“yes, I’m sure.”

As Xiuge spoke, he took off the cloth bag from the back of the running rat. The mage’s hand slowly moved, moving the bag that obviously contained a human body not far away until he placed it in a pile. Center of architectural ruins.

“We will support your idea, but before that, you must convince yourself first, and you should not feel guilty about it, otherwise it will have a long-term impact on your thoughts and decisions.”

Alexandra said in a gentle voice: “Sometimes, in order to achieve some goals, we do have to abandon some unnecessary compassion.”

Shuge did not respond to Alexandra, but in silence used the hand of the mage to untie the bag, exposing the mage of the Black Sun Society who had been treated and was still unconscious to the sky. .

“Ma’am, you are wrong about one thing.”

Shuge responded softly: “I’m really not in a good mood right now, but that’s not because of pity or compassion, but because I really resist feeding my own kind as food to a group of monsters that I despise. .”

“However, in this city, we are about to face the most intense moment of struggle and contradiction, so for the survival of more people, I must do this…”

“Monsters devour the wizards of the association, and I devour monsters… Only in this way can I truly understand the association’s arrangements in this city, and only in this way can I further call the Three Color Brotherhood and the Black Sun Association There are closely related groups.”

Having said this, Xiuge pursed his lips hard, then he raised his palm, and a transparent blade made of magic power lightly scratched the skin of the unconscious Association Mage, and blood immediately flowed out.
