The sun is high - #455 - Chapter 454 The dusk is falling

When the woman in front of him said that he wanted to report his son, Felix’s expression remained calm. However, when the woman in front of him said the name “Valery” and the words “Salem City”, Felix’s expression was still calm. His eyebrows couldn’t help but raise.

In the cold north, the name “Valery” symbolizes strong and vigorous vitality. For many St. Steele parents, this is the best blessing for their newborns. Therefore, in the Kingdom of St. Steele, this name The name seems to be somewhat common, and even many girls have it.

However, when this name was combined with “Salem City”, a face appeared in front of Felix’s eyes as it should.

It was impossible for Felix to forget Master Valery.

To a certain extent, without Valery, the refugees in Salem City might still be able to be rescued, but the process would never be that smooth, and the final result might be even more tragic.

It was Valery’s existence that allowed Felix and the group of children to survive the most difficult period, and it was he who successfully implemented Shuge’s plan.

After the Salem City incident was completely over, Valery, together with many other mages, joined the Dawn Society with his identity as a mage certified by Merlin Le and others. These “orthodox mage” identities Members of the Dawn Society played a very important role in mediating negotiations between the Dawn Society and the Legal Committee, and some of them have now joined the Van En Magic Society.

Valery himself was not a scholar who preferred academic research, so he actively participated in a series of work carried out by the Dawn Society against the Kingdom of St. Steele.

Before the start of this battle, Felix even met Valery briefly. At that time, Valery had just joined a joint detachment organized by the Legal Committee. Their mission was to follow the pressure of the war. We explore the smaller border areas and record some of the remaining magic and rituals of the Black Sun Society, so that the Van En Magic Society can dismantle and study the methods of these enemies.

Of course, Felix also knew that Valery had some ideas of his own when joining this mission. Since the Black Sun Society took control of the Kingdom of St. Steele, the communication between him and his family has been completely interrupted, so he hopes Take this opportunity to check in on your family.

The information related to Valery flashed through Felix’s mind quickly, and then he quickly gathered his thoughts and looked seriously at the anxious woman sitting opposite him.

When Valery first joined the Dawn Society, Felix had heard him talk about his family. In Valery’s description, his mother was actually very young, a somewhat refined person, and very good at taking care of herself. A woman, but now, all Felix saw in this face was fatigue and vicissitudes of life.

“Drink some water, and then we can continue… don’t be nervous.”

Felix lowered his voice: “Valery is our companion and comrade-in-arms. It is impossible for the Dawn Society to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Now, I need you to provide as many details related to this matter as possible. The more The better.”

With Felix’s comfort, the woman’s excitement calmed down to a certain extent. After taking a few sips of the warm water in the cup, she began to narrate the entire incident.

Thanks to the magic letter notification sent by Valery in advance, his family left the big city where they settled before the Black Sun Society launched its action, and actively moved to remote towns in the southeast, joining some less frequented towns. Relatives and friends.

Compared with those densely populated cities, these villages and towns tend not to receive the attention of the Black Sun Society and the Saint Steele Royal Family so quickly, and they also have more opportunities to escape chaos and conflict.

At first, everything went smoothly. However, when they were about to arrive at the target town, serious chaos broke out across the Kingdom of St. Steele. Deserters, bandits, and refugees who had lost their homes due to the impact were mixed together. The originally peaceful journey was turned into a mess.

During this process, Valery’s father was shot by two young gangsters. He was seriously injured and could only recuperate in a small village far away from Watch City. Because he lost the money he carried with him, Valery’s My sister and mother could only take care of the wounded while working part-time jobs in exchange for some medicines.

“Just half a month ago, yes, a full half month ago… That day, I was washing clothes for someone, and Valery suddenly appeared. I thought he was here to find us at first, but But he caught me and told me to find a way to find ‘Felix’ in the Dawn Society and pass the news of my ‘rebellion’ to you.”

Recalling the scene at that time, tears began to fall from the mother’s face, but she still tried hard to describe the details at that time: “He lost a lot of weight, seemed to be injured on his body, and his expression was a little flustered… Well, his eyes were all confused. Disorganized, more like refugees than us.”

“While saying these words, he kept looking around, as if he was avoiding someone… I originally wanted to ask him about his situation, but he didn’t give me a chance at all. After saying those words, he just He left me and fled into the distance.”

Felix kept writing down notes in his notebook and asked, “You didn’t try to catch up?”

The woman shook her head: “He used some kind of magic. There is no way I can catch up with him.”

Felix recorded these answers in detail. After carefully reviewing the words, he asked: “I need to confirm one thing. He clearly mentioned ‘shelling’ and ‘watching’ at that time. City’s matter?”

“Yes, he mentioned it. He told me that someone is planning to launch some kind of ‘fatal’ action against Watch City and Dawn Society, and the reason why all of this is happening is because of his…his ‘betrayal’ ‘!”

“Other than that, did he say anything else?”

“No more. He didn’t even ask me about his father and sister.”

The woman shook her head sadly: “I think he must have encountered some very terrible situations, otherwise it would be impossible for him to do these things with his character!”

“I see.”

Felix slowly closed the notebook in his hand: “Since Master Valery is willing to trust me, then I will naturally find a way to handle this matter… Don’t worry, the Dawn Society will put you in place, madam, just a moment Later, I will ask my trusted subordinates to come to you to learn more details about this matter. They may also use some magic to restore the scene at that time. Just cooperate with me and there is no need to be afraid.”

He stood up slowly: “Please trust the Dawn Society, just as we trust Valery… Also, please tell us the specific location of your family, and the Dawn Society will send someone to pick them up.”

“Thank you, thank you! Sir!”

The woman stood up excitedly. The middle-aged Mr. Felix in front of her was completely different from the government officials she had seen in the past. Although both looked very stern, Felix was very different in his behavior and speech. There was a special, convincing power in it, which made her feel extremely at ease.

Felix nodded and accepted the woman’s thanks. He gently squeezed the cane twice with his fingers, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the woman, he turned and left the room.

The moment he came to the corridor, his expression quickly darkened.

Reason and logic told Felix that Valery’s matter was definitely much more serious and complicated than the word “rebellion.”

So, after leaving the meeting room, Felix did not immediately go back to find Meyer and others. Instead, he went to another room alone and asked Sally to call Meyer over for him.

Meyer was naturally alert. The moment he entered the room, he frowned and looked at Felix: “What’s wrong? Something’s wrong?”

“Professor, I’m afraid we have some internal problems.”

“You mean, there is a traitor?”

“Maybe more than one.”

Felix handed the note in his hand to Meyer, and after the other party finished reading it, he said: “The joint detachment where Master Valery belongs has applied to the Sword of the Dawn several times for information about the territory of St. Steele. I personally handled the distribution of intelligence information…so I know the composition of their team very well.”

He stood by the wall with a cane: “In this detachment, except for Valery, there are no other core members of the Dawn Society, and this means that even if their detachment is ambushed by the Black Sun Society, And if all members are captured alive, it is impossible to easily obtain the latest situation inside the Dawn Society.”

“What’s more, there is an obvious time difference.”

Meyer immediately understood what Felix meant, and his face became serious: “Mage Valery’s last appearance was about the same time we entered Watch City. It is impossible for the Black Sun Society to use him to Come to obtain information about the city…there is someone else who leaked the information to the outside world!”

“Yes, and I don’t believe that Master Valery will become a traitor. Judging from the information provided by his mother, he obviously encountered some extremely special circumstances, so he had to use this method to inform us.”

Meyer nodded: “So, what do you think we should do now? Start an internal investigation?”

“This is inevitable, Professor… But before that, we must give priority to informing all our comrades who are still operating in St. Steele, especially Miss Wei Lin. The locations of these strongholds are too deep. Once relevant, If their intelligence is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.”

Hearing these words, Meyer couldn’t help but sigh. As one of the top leaders of the Dawn Society, his perspective on the development of events is destined to be different from that of ordinary people. Looking at the development of the war during this period, Shuge The benefits and help these teams organized by Wei Lin and others have brought to the Dawn Society and even the entire coalition army are immeasurable. Those secret strongholds set up in the territory of St. Steele have become one after another to monitor the Black Sun Society. s eyes.

Once they withdraw these “eyes”, it is destined to have a huge impact on all subsequent operations.

However, Meyer still nodded: “I agree with your proposal. We will never put our comrades in that dangerous situation… let them hibernate or evacuate to the maximum extent, especially Miss Weilin’s side. It should be noted that they have recently been in contact with some nobles from St. Steele, and if they leave, they are likely to attract attention.”

Meyer raised his hand and touched his shiny forehead. He smiled sadly: “Anyway, I’ll leave these things to you. I will help you prepare for the internal inspection… at any time. connection.”

After saying that, Meyer turned and left the room, his steps a little heavier than before.

Before the Dawn Society and the coalition forces prepare to launch the next stage of operations, the counterattack and infiltration of the Black Sun Society have finally arrived. Even the Dawn Society, which has always maintained a considerable degree of “purity” in the past, still seems to be unable to break free. The shadow cast by that black sun.

“Who is the one?”

Felix stood alone in the room. He lowered his head, looked at the slightly curved metal cane, and murmured to himself: “Who could it be? Can you help me find the answer?”

As if he heard Felix’s heartfelt voice, the cane trembled slightly at the moment his voice fell.

It also seemed to have a heartbeat.

…

Xiuge, who was carrying a large cargo box among the corpses, paused inexplicably.

Just now, he suddenly noticed a fluctuation.

Very weak and very short-lived.

Like a stone falling on the other side of the wide water, the ripples continue to spread and eventually disappear.

“Is someone trying to contact me? Or is he calling me with magic?”

The fluctuation was too fragile. Even with Xiuge’s mental strength, he still could not successfully capture it. With his own magic knowledge, he could only reluctantly make a rough identification based on some characteristics of the fluctuation.

“Did something happen to Van En? Was it Wei Lin? Or was it Meyer and the others?”

Shuge breathed a heavy sigh, then he raised his palms, controlled the many Charron touches extending from his side, and moved the heavy cargo box little by little to the open space in front of the metal base. And forcefully opened the sealed lid.

An aura of dilapidation came to my face.

Charron’s Touch flexibly reached into the cargo box, and soon, one of the tentacles came to Shuge with a translucent pass.

“I hope it works.”

Because of the sudden fluctuation before, Xiuge felt a trace of anxiety inexplicably in his heart, so the movements in his hands became a little faster.

He grasped the pass tightly and injected his magic into it, causing the delicate circuits that had been silent for a long time to start operating again.

The light gradually appeared, and the pass that had lost its energy supply became bright again.

On the certificate, Xiuge saw Engineer Wang’s photo, and at the bottom of the pass, he saw the reassuring green words: “Access authority has been activated.”
