The sun is high - #214 - Chapter 213 The Secret of Association
The running rat did not disappoint Shuge. Facing the instructions given by Shuge, it once again made an extremely correct judgment and choice.
Snitch did not take Shuge back to Felix and the children’s hiding place, but took his master to a relatively remote street. In his perception, there was relatively little life here. , there are not too many active descendants of the Dark Abyss.
In this block, there are still a lot of apartments. Although these buildings were severely damaged in the previous earthquake, a small part of them are still intact and are at least used as temporary buildings. Where to stay is not a problem.
“Thanks for your hard work.”
After spending a lot of energy, Shuge finally managed to stabilize his mental state and opened his eyes. He reached out and patted Snitch’s back twice, then turned over and jumped down.
Only then did he realize that this neighborhood seemed familiar.
And when he saw those iconic sculptures erected in the center of the street, Xiuge burst into laughter.
He didn’t expect that Snicki would take him to Shuihua Street.
Yes, it is the Water Flower Street that once attracted countless residents and tourists of Salem City and once became the “drawing place” for Shuge Ernst.
“This is truly the place where dreams begin.”
Xiuge looked at the exquisite figure that had fallen on the street not far away, once decorated with bright garlands and petals, and couldn’t help but shake his head.
The sky is already very dark now, and I am afraid it will be completely dark soon. Although the dark abyss essence in Xiuge’s spiritual world has been sorted and divided, it is still constantly interfering with his state of mind. This makes Further distribution and “digestion” are imminent.
So Shuge immediately took action. After conveying his thoughts to the will of the Ernst family, the magic rats that belonged to Shuge immediately spread out and monitored the surrounding area, and Shuge He directly selected an apartment building that seemed to be fairly solid and got into it.
The number of survivors living in Shuihua Street and Madam Street is very small. For ordinary people who lack transportation, it is really far away from places where they can obtain daily necessities. No one wants to spend half a day traveling through half of the street. He went to a city to look for supplies, and then ran back at the risk of being robbed by bandits and hunted by monsters…
Soon, Xiuge used magic to break a door lock and got inside.
This room should have belonged to a “Nightingale” from Shuihua Street in the past. The owner of the room probably left at the beginning of the disaster. No one else came to the house. A small part of the wall collapsed, and some were placed on the table with The vases and decorations on the cabinet were smashed to the ground due to the previous earthquake.
This apartment building is considered a good-quality building in Shuihua Street and even in the entire city of Salem. At least Xiuge can feel the existence of the solidification ceremony in the cracked walls, and this room is quite orderly. It can be seen that , the original residents here have been doing their best to maintain this exquisite residence. In the air, Xiuge can even smell some residual perfume.
Xiuge took out a piece of magic crystal that was about to be exhausted and replaced it with a crystal lamp, and then he checked around.
After confirming that there were no major problems in the room, he immediately set up a protective ritual here, and used the war magic previously used to strengthen bunkers and fortifications to treat all the doors, windows, and walls. He even followed Felix’s method to use The removed cabinet door also blocks the window.
After everything was ready, Xiuge came to the dusty bed, lifted the sheets, and lay down directly on it.
There are more and more noises in the spiritual world, and there is no room for delay.
The residents in the metal disk, after waiting for this period of time, are already impatient.
After using it for such a long period of time, Xiuge has gained a deep enough understanding of the powers from ancient times that he has mastered. He deeply realized that although the Touch of Charron, the Running Rat, etc. They belong to different gods or forces, but they are not completely separated.
On the contrary, in actual use and combat, they can even play many complementary roles.
The most typical one is the fog that can be displayed by the messenger in the mirror.
I don’t know whether it’s because the Mirror Messenger is too special, or because the power it controls from the Dark Abyss Palace is inherently powerful. In short, its power is fully capable of in-depth cooperation with many ancient creations whose power origins are completely different, and The “intelligence” characteristics it displays are also too obvious.
Sometimes, Xiuge even really suspected that it was his own image in the “mirror”.
And just before, the Touch of Charron, which had been dormant for a long time, once again showed Shuge its amazing potential, and their continuous changes revealed an important possibility to Shuge. , that is, the ancient powers he obtained from the Dream Sanctuary are not static. They are likely to have room for growth beyond ordinary people’s imagination and a power limit that is difficult to predict with common sense.
“That is to say… I may need to think more about balanced development.”
Xiuge thought like this, and then he immediately started the distribution work in his spiritual world.
Considering that the messenger in the mirror has the widest range of application, and that he will continue to conflict with the main body of the descendants of the dark abyss in Salem City, Xiuge decisively allocated a considerable part of the essence of the dark abyss power to his ” Shadow,” and the Mirror Messenger accepts them all unceremoniously.
Xiuge saw that the envoy in the mirror divided the essence of power into two parts. The larger part was directly thrown into the metal groove that was still blocked by the fog, while the smaller part was decisively thrown into the metal groove. “Feeding” was given to that dark mask.
Charron’s Touch and the Running Rat, who had accompanied Shuge for a long time, naturally got their share. Charron’s Touch remained silent as always, and those coiled black tentacles returned to their original state in the metal disc. Those power essences were wrapped up layer by layer and began to digest and grow.
Snicki waved his paw generously, separated a small part from these power essences, and stuffed them directly into the cave. For a while, the wills of the Ernst family hiding in the rat hole began to They exclaimed, they still retain human instinct and common sense to some extent, and they don’t know how to deal with these existences that seem to be helpful to them, but look a little disgusting.
Among them, Countess Alexandra had the strongest reaction. Shuge couldn’t understand what she was calling. He had already turned into a mouse. How could he still be afraid of such a thing?
As for Snitch himself, he started eating and drinking directly at the edge of the cave. As it ate, Shuge noticed that the horns on its head seemed to be constantly changing.
Shuge left the rest to the palace hounds.
Perhaps because of the high status of the family members, the palace hound has been extremely “indifferent” since Shuge officially obtained the “Hound’s Tooth”. Regardless of the distribution of spoils, there have been incidents between several metal disc residents from time to time. Regardless of the small conflicts, it doesn’t seem to care much. Only when Shuge encounters a target “worthy of hunting” will it reluctantly show some initiative.
Since hounds rarely have needs, Shuge is happy to satisfy them.
He also very much expected that this beast from the dark abyss, which he regarded as an important killing move, would undergo fundamental growth and changes after absorbing enough nutrients.
With the completion of the assignment, Xiuge’s mental pressure was finally relieved to a considerable extent, and he finally had time to seriously examine the memory and knowledge from the Black Sun Society Master.
Xiuge lay on the bed and slowly raised his hand. As the mist of the dark abyss surged, the strange black mask immediately appeared in his hand.
As he put on the mask, a large number of chaotic faces and memories began to flash through Xiuge’s mind. Before long, Xiuge successfully located the name of the association mage who died at his own hands among the flickering shadows. face.
The appearance of this association mage is very ordinary. Judging from the appearance alone, I am afraid that he is just an ordinary resident of Salem City who can be seen everywhere. As a person who has a lot of contact with the members of the Black Sun Association, Shuge even There is no way to find the temperament and characteristics of magic scholars on this guy’s face.
“Sure enough, this is the most frightening thing about the Black Sun Society… They can rely on the loyalty and diversity of their members to successfully penetrate into different fields, or they can do everything possible to develop new members.”
Xiuge looked at this face and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. After experiencing what happened these days, he finally understood why Herbert and others were so worried about the Black Sun Scepter. If such a thing If it is handed over to the senior leaders of the Black Sun Society, they can easily find members of the society who can serve them in any scenario. But on the contrary, if it falls on people like themselves who are extremely hostile to the society, it will It will become the most effective tool for hunting down association members.
After finishing his short sigh, Xiuge immediately “extracted” the relevant memories of this mage. Under the dim light, the mist of the dark abyss surged. In an instant, Xiuge’s face and body shape had already changed. The most radical changes have taken place.
The Black Sun Society mage who had been divided and devoured by the descendants of An Abyss reappeared in this closed room, and the knowledge and memories that originally belonged to him were like open books, completely The earth appeared in front of Xiuge.
The desire for magic, the excitement when joining Merlinle and the Legal Committee for the first time, the sense of accomplishment when successfully completing the magic inscription, the confusion and confusion caused by studying evil magic, the violent shake of belief in the magic goddess Mel…
In just a few minutes, Xiuge had already roughly understood the past of this association member.
He used to be a member of the Law Committee, but because he tried to conduct in-depth research on evil magic, he came into contact with individual scholars of the Black Sun Society. After that, it was a very typical “faith collapse” stage. As the Black Sun The Sun Society has repeatedly demonstrated those “miracles” from ancient lost gods. This mage completely abandoned his belief in the goddess Mel and turned to the embrace of the Black Sun Society and the Dark Abyss History Society.
And this is why he felt extremely angry when he was attacked by Shuge using the Hound’s Fang.
Because he clearly felt the aura of the dark abyss contained in the magical power exerted by Xiuge.
When reading these memories, Xiuge had already made sufficient psychological preparations. With his original hostility towards the members of the association, the pain that the member of the association felt when he was bitten by the descendants of An Yuan also became more painful. It was much lighter. At least the despair and anger contained in it did not have any impact on Xiuge. Instead, it made him feel a little happy.
What can make the enemy feel pain and anger is naturally correct.
Although this is not a perfect rule, in many cases it is a general rule that can be followed.
After Shuge successfully peeled off the interference of these emotions, those extremely important intelligence and messages were completely exposed. In these messages, Shuge not only saw the Black Sun Society surrounding Sai in the past period of time. Luncheng made many arrangements and plans, and even saw many details about the organization’s internal personnel structure that he had never known before.
But these are not what Xiuge needs most at the moment.
Xiuge’s thoughts were spinning rapidly, and the mist of the dark abyss continued to seep out from his body and face. As he quickly rummaged and searched for these memories, those things he really wanted to see were finally found by Xiuge. It was forcibly dug out from the deepest depths of this association member’s memory.
Xiuge really wanted to know what method the members of the Black Sun Society used to mobilize part of the lost power from the Dark Abyss as ordinary people and successfully use it in those general magics.
This is really important.
Because this not only means that the Black Sun Society has transformed the expression and specific forms of general magic, but also means that other mages other than the Black Sun Society may be able to use these magic powers that do not belong to this world to a certain extent. Amazing power.
Xiuge had a hunch that this special method found within the Black Sun Society might be able to promote the entire Van En magic system to a certain extent. In the foreseeable chaotic era that follows, this special spell casting Methods may even become important weapons and tools for people.
