The sun is high - #217 - Chapter 216

In this new day, Xiuge discovered that the activities of An Yuan’s descendants in Salem City seemed to have become much more active.

According to common sense, once the sky turns bright, the descendants of An Yuan will return to the underground or those dark hiding places as quickly as possible, but today is different. Xiuge has sensed it near the road more than once. The descendants of the Dark Abyss are active, and their number and scale are far greater than before. It seems that they are trying to use their group size to fight against the bright light.

In some streets, the scattered magical rat swarms even detected for Shuge some groups of descendants of very alarming size – they were more than seven to eight times larger than the average scattered individuals. When they were completely spread out, , can almost fill a small street.

In other corners, Xiuge sensed some groups of descendants hiding in hidden places, ready to attack passing prey at any time.

This is not a good sign.

It may be hard for the survivors in Salem City to imagine that this group of monsters who have always been afraid of fire and light have actually begun to try to overcome their weaknesses.

For Xiuge, this discovery confirmed the threatening words he received from the descendants of An Abyss when they had a head-on conflict with them the day before.

For the descendants of An Abyss who are studying human thought but have not learned enough yet, “You eat me, I will eat you” is an extremely simple and easy-to-understand idea, and they are indeed practicing it. this principle.

In the limited wisdom and simple thinking of the descendants of Dark Abyss, since Shuge is brutally hunting their own people, they should also fight back, and the form of counterattack is to actively attack the survivors in Salem City. The pack attacks and prolongs the hunt past.

But in fact, this behavior is somewhat “childish”.

Because the survivors in Salem City will not completely relax their vigilance in searching simply because of dawn. All those who can survive in Salem City until now, even children like Malena, know that caution and caution are the key to safety. Basic principles of survival.

Perhaps the survivors will indeed suffer some losses when this change occurs, but as a group of people with enough intelligence, they can also detect the key points in the fastest time and make timely adjustments, just like them This is the coping strategy that I thought of after encountering the “death wave” of the descendants of An Abyss.

Through the continuous hunting of the descendants of An Abyss during this period of time, Xiuge has also gained a deeper understanding of this strange and incomplete creation.

He was even able to capture emotions similar to confusion, helplessness and irritability from the fragmented memories belonging to the heirs themselves.

According to Xiuge’s understanding and judgment, although the descendants of Anyuan are currently wise, they are not the same in application.

Many times, even the huge subject will behave like a willful child.

But this can never be a reason to give up vigilance and vigilance. No matter what naive and ridiculous attempts they make now, this can always be regarded as a kind of growth. If they are allowed to accumulate and try endlessly, serious consequences will definitely occur. question.

And this large-scale “manhunt” operation throughout the entire city of Salem has indeed had a considerable impact on Xiuge’s progress. Although he himself can use the dark mask derived from the messenger in the mirror to fundamentally become another person. A person, but if he wants to move at high speed in a city, he must rely on the running rat.

Once the running rats appear, it will easily attract the attention of the descendants of An Abyss, leading to a large-scale siege and hunting initiated by them.

In desperation, Xiuge had no choice but to try to apply that special dark abyss magic power to the running rat.

So the huge three-tailed rat was immediately wrapped in a thick fog, and then Xiuge discovered that this magical fog that was closely related to the dark abyss seemed to be able to affect the breath and power fluctuations of the running rat to a certain extent. To mask.

This kind of power can even be used perfectly to carry out “assassinations” against the descendants of An Abyss. In the wrapping and cover of such fog, the descendants with keen perception cannot detect the approach of the enemy at all!

After solving this thorny problem, the Running Rat started running in Salem City again.

Affected by the magic power of the Dark Abyss, its movements became faster and it didn’t even make much noise when running. This reminded Xiuge of the strange scene when the palace hound was moving. He originally wanted to find the hound and ask for the secret. However, after devouring a large amount of the essence of the power of the dark abyss, this ferocious beast became a little lazy. In response to Shuge’s calls and questions, it always lay on the ground and ignored Xiuge’s calls and questions, only sticking out its mouth. A long tongue trembles from time to time.

“Why, everyone from your dark abyss has such a bad temper?”

In desperation, Xiuge had no choice but to grab the messenger in the mirror and complain. This guy was busy reading in his room. Of course, the book was also in a dense fog, and he had no idea what he could read.

After hearing Xiuge’s question, the messenger in the mirror came up with the classic “three-piece set” of shaking his head, spreading his hands, and shrugging.

Facing these stubborn guys, Xiuge can only choose to give up. After all, there are many things he needs to deal with now. Under the current conditions, it is unrealistic to get to the bottom of everything. Since this kind of magic power If it was helpful right now, he would have no choice but to let it go.

As a result, the huge rat, shrouded in deep light, shadow and fog, continued to run wildly along the road. In the eyes of some survivors who had come out to move around, the running rat was just like a blur of terror running at high speed in the center of the street. The black shadow, after it runs past, will even leave a faint magic trail in the air…

If it were Salem City in the past, this scene might have become a new horror legend.

…

Near noon, Xiuge finally arrived at his destination again.

After completing the investigation of the surrounding area, he immediately dismissed the running rats and restored his appearance to its original state. The special magic ritual engraved on the flesh and bones was preserved by Shuge. This special dark abyss magic is needed to cover his next identity and rhetoric.

Just where he was ambushed by the Tricolor Brotherhood, a figure was now standing.

He was wearing a mage robe that originated from the Legal Committee. Of course, the identification mark on it had been removed. In order to keep out the cold, he wore an extra heavy coat on top of the robe, which looked a little nondescript. .

At this time, the Black Sun Scepter had already given Xiuge very clear feedback.

The Magic Advisor of the Three-Color Brotherhood standing in the middle of the street, waiting to meet with Shuge, has a high status within the Black Sun Society, at least higher than the member lurking among the Iris guards.

And the memories Xiuge obtained through himself have been able to basically confirm this person’s identity.

“Bolva, a mage with the stream-level certification of the Legal Council, entered Salem City before the armistice celebration and participated in the work of the Legal Council branch… His actual magic level has probably reached the river valley level, but In order to conceal the identity and ensure the execution of the association’s mission, there has been no corresponding magic assessment and certification.”

Xiuge carefully filtered the information related to the Bolva mage in his mind: “One of the members of the Dark Abyss History Society… entered Salem City precisely to ensure that everything in the city proceeds according to the association’s plan. , in the Dark Abyss Historical Society, he is probably the group of people who have the strongest belief in themselves.”

“And the most important thing is that he knows what ‘Suge Ernst’ looks like, and he also understands the prophecy that this identity carries.”

After confirming these circumstances, Xiuge immediately walked out of the darkness. He lifted the cover of his own magic power and appeared openly in Bolva’s magic perception.

Sensing the approach of other spellcasters, Bolvar immediately turned around.

As a mage, Bolvar’s appearance is somewhat “unsatisfactory”. He is tall and thin and does not have much flesh on his face. However, with such an ordinary face, he suffered from magic experiments. The injury resulted in large burn marks.

This kind of scar could have been easily cured with magic, but Bolvar seemed to have some special hobbies or needs. He actually deliberately preserved such large and ugly scars, and even used magic to heal these scars. The scar is cured.

If it were just a burn scar, it would be fine. However, the burn on Bolvar’s face has seriously affected his left eye area. It is unknown what the nature of the magic experiment he was operating at that time was. The area around the orbit of his left eye was unknown. The area has been completely sunken, but the eyeballs are intact – making his eyes appear extremely bulging.

It looks like beads embedded in a ball of flesh.

Such an appearance can be completely classified into the category of “anthropomorphism”.

If a timid person saw such an ugly face with severe ulceration marks in the middle of the night, he might be so frightened that he died on the spot.

Of course, for Shuge, who has seen countless inhuman things, this level of ugliness is not enough.

This guy’s appearance was definitely pretty compared to the strange scenes that the palace hound and Shuge saw in the dream of “The Giant Ship”.

“Mage Bolvar!”

Shuge walked along the street in an extremely calm and calm manner. Under the “careful and deliberate maintenance” he carried out in advance, his feeling of being incompatible with Salem City became particularly obvious.

Xiuge walked very slowly and leisurely, as if the surroundings were not the ruins of a messy building, but lively streets or paths in the garden.

The metal cane with a strange style and complicated patterns in his hand tapped rhythmically on the ground as he walked, and the magical mist from the dark abyss flashed across his body and eyes.

A temperament that is highly similar to that of senior scholars has been successfully created invisibly.

Facing Xiuge’s greeting, Bolva was a little surprised. He instinctively wanted to use his magic perception to confirm the magic level of the visitor. However, he found that his perception could not successfully penetrate into the other party’s body. There seemed to be a natural barrier blocking all of this.

In the midst of Bolva’s extreme vigilance, Shuge finally came to him.

Then Xiuge raised his hand and slowly took off the hood on his head, exposing his original appearance to Bolvar’s sight.

The moment he saw this young face clearly, Bolva’s ugly face that was severely distorted by the burns instantly changed its appearance – they became even more distorted.

The ugly mage opened his crooked mouth in extreme surprise, and then his bulging eyes showed uncontrollable wonder and ecstasy.

His eyes began to turn red and his limbs seemed to be shaking slightly.

Seeing Bolva’s appearance, Shuge knew that his judgment was correct, because he had seen similar behavior once before in Bolden City.

Shuge remembered that when he appeared in front of the officer who had joined the Black Sun Society, the other officer had a similar expression.

The Belva mage’s status within the association is far higher than that of the artillery officer who was used as a “consumable” in Bolden City. He may be more calm and cautious in his actions, but his belief in the lost gods and his The prophecies and miracles circulated within the association will definitely become more fanatical.

And this is exactly why Shuge chose to appear in his true form.

If a faithful believer sees the “miracle” he has created with his own hands reappearing in front of him, how will he react?

Shuge was full of expectations for this.

Seeing that Bolva was silent all the time, Xiuge smiled. He held his cane with both hands and said, “Master Bolva, I think you recognize me, right? You don’t need me to introduce myself anymore, right?”

“No…no need, Xiu…”

Bolva was stuttering a little, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to think of a name suitable for Xiuge’s identity. However, this was indeed something he had not considered in the past, so he stuttered for a long time and could not say the complete sentence. Come on.

Seeing his appearance, Xiuge immediately decided to strike while the iron was hot and give the guy in front of him another dose of strong medicine.

Relying on the memories accumulated in his mind, Xiuge perfectly displayed the look and posture of a “superior”. He shook his head with some disappointment, and then said in a slightly sighing tone: “Now I am still Incomplete, naturally not worthy of the status and title you want, so you can continue to call me by my past name, or directly call me Mr. So-and-so…”

Hearing these words, Bolva’s body began to tremble. This member of the association who already had the strength of a river valley-level mage lowered his head. He could feel the dissatisfaction revealed in Shuge’s tone. As one of the most loyal Believers of the gods, he doesn’t dare to look at Xiuge’s expression now!
