The sun is high - #453 - Chapter 452

When Felix came to the street outside the house with a cane and a windbreaker, countless eyes focused on him at the same time.

This made Felix feel very uncomfortable.

As the de facto leader of the Dawn Sword, he still prefers to keep a low profile.

In the past, it was not too difficult to achieve this. Although the Sword of the Dawn existed publicly, in the eyes of many people, including members of the Dawn Society, it was actually just a more important “espionage” department, regardless of No matter how important and special its functions are, in the final analysis they all serve the ideals and goals of Dawn Society.

In this case, Felix’s personal presence will always be eclipsed by the light radiated by Meyer, Daswell, and Sugar.

But it’s different now.

When people saw with their own eyes that the light of care representing the goddess Mel emerged from the cane held by Felix and completely dispelled the terrifying shadow that could destroy half of the city, such as “Saint”, ” Titles such as “Messenger” or even “God’s Favorite” and “God’s Chosen” are destined to be inseparable from Felix himself.

“Ah… I feel so uncomfortable.”

Under the focus of various different eyes, Felix frowned. He tugged on his coat and poked the cracked street ground with the cane that had always been with Shuge.

If he were still the young man in the past, such movements would still reveal some embarrassment and uneasiness. However, after a serious overdraft of his body, he now looks like a middle-aged man, with a thin face. , The figure and the untrimmed beard made Felix’s move look quite impressive. When the cane hit the ground, some people who peeked over even turned their eyes away.

“I have to say, Mr. Felix, you look more like a leader now than before.”

Sally’s voice came slowly from the side: “The teacher told me earlier today that in the future when you meet, I’m afraid you won’t be needed to report… With your current image, we still talk together. More appropriate.”

“Sounds like those bureaucrats. It’s not a good thing to judge qualifications by appearance.”

“Well, that’s it… In the past, when you said this, it would be more like complaining, but now it’s different.”

Sally laughed twice, then led Felix into a car and drove towards the other side of Watch City.

Today’s Watch City is completely different from before.

Felix leaned on his cane and looked out the window quietly. He saw that the soldiers of the Dawn Society were constantly organizing various tasks, and also participating in the work were many residents of Watch City, most of whom wore The temporary emblems and armbands issued by the Dawn Society indicate that they are volunteers who are willing to follow the Dawn Society in the restoration and renovation of Watch City.

For those residents who still do not want to leave their homes and are willing to trust Dawn Society, this is their most appropriate choice under the current circumstances.

“The number of volunteers has gone up a lot over the past few days.”

Sally stretched out her hand, set in motion a crystal lamp in the carriage, and took out a stack of thick manuscripts. She flipped through them and said, “The establishment of Dawn Society’s prestige is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is all thanks to you. Mr. Felix… Most of the residents in the city are now followers of Goddess Mel. After seeing what happened that night, they all firmly believe that you are the goddess’s chosen one, and the Dawn Society you have joined is the right one. It should be considered by them to be on an equal footing with the Legal Committee.”

Felix instinctively wanted to describe this strange development as “ridiculous”, but when he saw two volunteers helping the Dawn Society soldiers to move two boxes of heavy objects onto the loading truck with difficulty, he had no choice but to Swallowed these words again.

“Well…that’s all we can do now.”

Felix shook his head and turned his gaze to the manuscript in Sally’s hand. He recognized it with just two glances. It was a manuscript left by his old friend Shuge. This guy’s writing habits were like this. There were everywhere on the paper. There are all kinds of annotations, memos and brief data records, which makes Xiuge’s manuscript very easy to identify.

“Miss Sally, is this a task assigned to you by the professor? Where did you see it?”

“It was indeed a mission at the beginning, but now it’s not… Well, I’ve almost finished reading it. It’s mentioned here that ‘Alyosha’ joined the army again, but this time he did it voluntarily, but his lover He didn’t seem too happy about it.”

“Oh, it’s almost over, that’s for sure.”

Felix nodded. He had quickly read Shuge’s manuscript before, and was looking forward to the unfinished plot. But now, the author of this long novel did not know where he was, and he did not know where he was. Know when to come back.

“The teacher and Mr. Daswell have already discussed it. They want to entrust two publishing houses in the Kingdom of Delan and the Kingdom of Votel to publish this work, divided into three parts in terms of length… At present, these manuscripts can only support the first two department.”

At this point, Sally curled her lips: “I hope he can come back in time to finish the missing third volume.”

“Ah.”

Felix shook his head: “Based on my understanding of writers like him, procrastination has probably been his instinct for a long time… It would be fine if he finished writing in one go. Now that he is missing, even if he comes back, There are also a lot of things within the Dawn Society that require his participation, which are all good excuses to delay the manuscript.”

Felix had said similar words many times in the past. However, after he inexplicably “entered middle age”, his words became a bit more old-fashioned.

It really makes people laugh.

After speaking, Felix placed the cane across his knees. As an ordinary person who has not systematically studied magic, he can now clearly feel the connection between himself and this cane. , when he closed his eyes and devoted all his attention to it, he could even magnify his own perception without limit. The invisible force weaved a huge network for him, and he himself was the master of this network. , can easily detect any changes in it.

Felix was satisfied because he didn’t notice anything unusual in his current perception.

His intuition told him that there were at least no infiltrators of the Black Sun Society in the surrounding area.

“Although I don’t quite understand the principle, this should be considered a good sign…”

He said silently in his heart, but before the thought disappeared, a group of rather dazzling “colors” suddenly broke into Felix’s perception. Not only that, the cane also began to tremble slightly. It is a manifestation of magic at work.

“Stop the car, Miss Sally!”

Felix gave his order in a low voice. He held his cane tightly and turned his head to look out of the car, but his eyes were focused on the temporary camp set up in a small square not far away: “What is that camp for?” of?”

“It is used to assemble the residents who are preparing to evacuate. They should be the last batches of residents in this urban area… They will gather here and then be escorted by our soldiers to the stable villages in the rear.”

Sally quickly entered working mode. She glanced at Felix and asked in a low voice: “Did you find any? Shall I call someone over?”

“Well, send a notice to the professor as well, and we’ll meet here.”

With that said, Felix picked up his cane and pushed open the car door.

He just got out of the car and made a seemingly casual gesture.

In just a few seconds, several people scattered throughout the street who were busy with their work immediately put down what they were doing and scattered in different directions. A slight and secret agitation quickly spread out at the intersection, and a wave of A Sword of Dawn execution team responsible for the area entered an alert state as quickly as possible.

For this kind of thing, the executive members of Sword of Dawn already have rich experience.

They knew it was time to “catch bugs” again.

…

“Oh, you used to be a miner here? Did you escape from the front line?”

At the temporary gathering point, a “burly” woman with a child and a huge luggage package smiled at the strange man beside her and said: “It’s not easy. People were arrested everywhere in the city before, and the priority was Those of you who have been soldiers!”

Facing the conversation of the woman on the side, the man was slightly silent, but when faced with the curious gaze of the child and the smile of the woman, he finally managed to speak: “Yeah, I’m pretty lucky. There’s a girl nearby. I have been hiding in the abandoned mine for a long time…”

“So, you waited until those lunatics ran away before you came out?”

The man seemed a little unsure about the name the woman was calling. He frowned and confirmed: “Crazy… madman?”

“Hey, they are those who follow the black sun. Look at what they do every day. What else can they be called besides being called crazy?”

The woman waved her hands and turned to look at the long queue. Then she put her heavy luggage on the ground, turned around and sat on a huge wooden box next to her: “Anyway, the situation is better now. At least these newcomers don’t plan to send everyone to the front line, and they have also arranged some accommodation for us in the rear… They are all from the north, so they are more trustworthy after all.”

“I don’t think so, right?”

The man obviously didn’t trust the woman’s statement. He shook his head and retorted in a low voice: “I heard that they want to evacuate people in the city to work in those mines or farmland… “

“That’s okay!”

The woman acted very indifferently: “Didn’t some people come back from the farms and mines a few days ago? They also said that they do need to work, but the conditions are not bad, and there is nothing to force them to do. It’s just normal work, although it’s a little more arduous, but Dawn Club doesn’t deduct wages from wages.”

As she said that, the woman patted her thick arm and said, “If that unlucky guy from my family hadn’t died in the mine before, I would definitely let him go to the mine of Dawn Society now. Based on his experience, he would be able to survive more or less.” Foreman… I just go to the mine to be a cook, hey, those who work in the kitchen of the mine are incomparable to me!”

The woman was obviously very confident about her cooking skills, so she talked about the snack bar she had opened in Watch City, which attracted the attention of several acquaintances nearby, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. It became lively, and some people joked that her cooking skills were actually average and she would get upset after eating, but she was just arguing because of her lack of friendship…

The man was just left aside. He silently looked at the constantly moving queue and the residents chatting in a relaxed atmosphere, and his expression became a little strange.

Finally, he caught an opportunity to interrupt and asked, “Why do you trust Dawn Society so much? Aren’t there a lot of bad rumors in the city before?”

“Bad rumors? Tell us about it?”

Seeing people turning to look at him, the man coughed twice, and then he said in a low voice: “The city has not been peaceful for a day these days. Not to mention the air raid before, many people died… The secret agents of the Dawn Society They are still killing and arresting people everywhere, and there are gunshots every night. I can’t believe this gang of murderers… not to mention, there are many sword-wielding men among them…”

“Ah, that’s the truth.”

A citizen in his fifties nodded: “The gunshots every night are really scary, and two of them are still downstairs, but I can’t help it… Those madmen are in the city.” There are a lot of hidden dangers inside, and they can only feel relieved after cleaning them up, right?”

“I have seen those who shot, they were all young people. Although they had weapons in their hands, they were very polite.”

Another person echoed: “I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of gunshots. When I looked out the window, they advised me to close the window and stop looking. The mage who was in charge of leading the team even apologized to me on the street! Well, I used to But I’ve never heard of a Master Master apologizing to us ordinary people.”

“Anyway, I think they are credible. After all, the ‘Saint’ is the real deal! And the missing ‘Baron Ernst’. An organization that can let such a person join will not be far behind!”

The woman patted her strong thighs and concluded the chat: “Besides, how can a group of people who actively accept orphans in the city be worse? I think they are better than the royal family!”

The man was silent again. He looked around and saw that most of the residents gathered here didn’t seem to have much opinion on Dawn Society, so he took two steps back slightly, citing an uncomfortable stomach as an excuse. The queue quickly retreated.

He moved very quickly and soon walked out of the busy temporary gathering place. However, just as he was about to cross the intersection and head to the next scheduled location, he caught a look.

It was a silent middle-aged man holding a cane and wearing a coat.

He stood on the side of the road, a pair of falcon-like eyes staring at him. The sight was like substance, almost nailing the man’s body to the road of Watch City!
