The sun is high - #463 - Chapter 462 Korlo City

Xiuge originally thought that the rat people needed to go through careful discussion and deliberation before they could give themselves a clear answer. After all, the problems and choices they were facing now were actually related to the continuation of the only remaining rat people group.

As he said, once the rat people choose to embrace the knowledge and power that once fought fiercely against the Dark Abyss Palace, they will inevitably become the key elimination targets of the Dark Abyss Palace.

As an icy world controlled by the same chaotic will, Dark Abyss would never allow such a threat to grow within its “body”.

Although this relic of a past civilization can provide cover and cover for the rat tribe to a considerable extent, it is obviously not 100% safe. Once the rat people accidentally expose corresponding traces outside the continuation base, then from The ruthless hunting of the Dark Abyss Palace will begin immediately.

However……

However, the rat people gave Shuge a precise response in a very short period of time.

There was no need for Aziv to mobilize or persuade. The rat priests and warriors present quickly reached a consensus with indescribable enthusiasm. As the actual leader of the rat tribe, Aziv, He also voted in favor.

Aziv’s thoughts are naturally different from those of ordinary rat people.

Those rat people who were trapped in the belief in the Mother Goddess of the Earth now completely believed in the identity of Shuge’s “messenger”, and they were even more ecstatic about these “miracles” that had been buried for who knows how long – in front of them It seems that everything that appears in front of you is clearly an important message coming from the object of your faith, and it is the mission and guidance given to the entire rat race.

Although it sounds a bit blind and crazy, this is indeed what the rat people think.

As for Azifu, his performance was pretty much what Shuge expected.

After hearing Shuge’s question, this poet and wise man with rich experience fell into a long silence. His eyes wandered in the surrounding lights, wandering between Shuge and the bright light behind him. He did not ask Xiuge any questions, but quietly waited for the reactions of his “people”.

And when Azifu received a unified reply from the other ratmen, he calmly nodded to Shuge.

So, in this strange atmosphere of silence and restlessness, Shuge issued an order to all the ratmen present not to move or touch anything without authorization, and then he led the team towards Go to the gate where many restrictions have been lifted.

An invisible magic barrier was constructed by Xiuge in an instant. He walked beside Azifu and asked in a low voice: “Mr. Azifu, you just accepted my proposal? Don’t you think so?” Is it a bit sloppy?”

“It wasn’t me who accepted the offer, it was them.”

Compared with before, Azifu’s tone and attitude did not change much. He answered truthfully: “When I got this body and became their ‘prophet’ due to various coincidences, I became They have become part of the entire tribe…Although I have been trying to influence and transform them from various levels, there are some things that cannot be easily changed after all.”

Azifu glanced at the rat people who were following behind tremblingly, carefully observing the surroundings as they moved forward, and sighed: “The belief in Mother Earth is the cornerstone for them to persist in this world. Any external force that shakes this cornerstone will They are all deadly, but the resilience and vitality that emerge from them are equally powerful.”

“This is their indelible characteristic, and it is also the most important reason why they can survive in this dark abyss until now.”

At this point, Azifu turned to look at Shuge: “As for myself, I am very happy to accept your proposal… Haha, don’t forget, I am known as the ‘mad poet’ in Van En. , as a ‘madman’, the scenes and secrets that appear here are enough to make me pay everything for it!”

After the words fell, Azifu raised his head and looked forward. His eyes were attracted by the continuation beacon deep in the vast hall. He knew that that was the source of the light inside this “sacred mountain”. He couldn’t wait now. I want to get more explanations and answers from Shuge.

He wanted to know why this building came into being, and what kind of existence molded everything here…

Of course, it was impossible for Shuge to tell these secrets to the ratmen behind him, but he didn’t mind revealing a little bit about Azifu. With his powerful ability to “make things up”, Shuge was able to make things up at extremely fast speeds. He reorganized everything he learned into a “condensed version” and quickly told the story to Aziv.

Although in this tampered and simplified story, Shuge has deleted a lot of information related to himself, Mel, Theseus and Van En, this story about a magnificent civilization fighting against the erosion of the dark abyss still makes Azhi Fu Trembling all over.

Of course, Aziv also noticed some doubts and omissions. For example, he was very curious about why Shuge could read those words and how he knew how to operate these complicated machines and instruments, but he still did not raise these questions after all. ——Reason tells Aziv that these issues are too subtle and may even bring unnecessary conflicts and dangers.

After successfully withdrawing his emotions from the story about the continuation of the base, Azifu let out a long sigh. He raised his rat-like claws and pointed at the corpses in different states.

“How should they be… um, housed?”

Although Azifu was extremely unfamiliar with these dead people, perhaps because of the scene in front of him, or maybe because the deceased had a body shape and appearance that made Azifu feel familiar, the former mad poet finally showed his cautiousness. attitude and high respect, he did not even use the word “process”.

“Let your tribe gather all the dead together, and don’t touch their belongings yet…”

Shuge whispered: “Although they have been dead for a long time, I think they deserve a proper funeral.”

After saying that, a large amount of magic power gathered around Shuge, and quickly formed a swarm of Ernst family rats eager to try. Then Shuge bent down, and he skillfully took out Bei, the leader of the family’s will. General Earnhardt and Countess Alexandra, and placed them on Aziv’s shoulders.

Seeing the old prophet’s confused look, Shuge smiled and said, “Okay, they are my consultants and can theoretically answer most of your questions. Next, I need to deal with some things first. You guys Let’s slowly get to know this place first… Be careful when moving and organizing things, and leave those empty boxes and scrapped machinery aside if you are unsure.”

After saying that, Xiuge turned around and walked towards the archives room.

Bringing the rat people into the continuation base and making them potential successors is the first part of the agreement reached between Shuge and Theseus. Shuge believes that under Aziv’s constraints and Ernst Under the supervision of the family rat pack, these cautious rat people will be able to properly complete the current basic work.

Now that the first simple goal has been achieved, Xiuge is ready to accept the guidance of Theseus and establish preliminary contact with Van En through the continuation beacon.

At this moment, Xiuge seemed a little anxious.

Although physically, he didn’t feel like he had been away from Van En for too long, but ever since he knew that he had a chance to contact some people, the emotion in his heart began to burn uncontrollably.

…

In the Kingdom of St. Steele, the heavy black sky shrouded the banks of the Niepova River. Combined with the cold black sun, it was enough to make any normal person shudder when he glanced at the sky unintentionally.

Although under the influence of the previous Black Sun Association ceremony, the vast majority of St. Steele residents have become accustomed to the existence of the black sun and the dark dome, but awe does not mean closeness.

Except for some residents who are determined to join the Black Sun Society, or have already joined the Black Sun Society, most people still don’t like to look up at the sky. The feeling of “looking at each other” with an indescribable behemoth is really… It’s not very good.

The city under the dome is Korlo City.

Unlike other cities that have also been subjected to rituals by the Black Sun Society, Korlo City appears to be more active and relaxed.

For a long, long time, this city located on the Niepova River was a symbol of entertainment and art in the Kingdom of St. Steele. The architects and craftsmen who built the city at that time deliberately used There are more elements of Hain and Delan, which makes the large areas of Korlo City show a variety of different strongly contrasting colors.

Although in terms of style, the architecture of Collo City still follows the northern characteristics of St. Steele, this special use of color has weakened the tragic and melancholy style unique to the north. Quite a few.

In today’s tense situation, the characteristics possessed by Korlo City are particularly valuable.

As the offensives of Merlin Lehe and the Dawn Society slowed down, the troops serving the Black Sun Society and the St. Steele Royal Family finally ushered in a precious rotation, and those soldiers who had no hope of returning home and could only wait in the military camps Different from them, a group of mages, officers and Saint Steele nobles who had been rotated from the front line gathered in Korlo City.

They all hope to relax here.

Relaxation in every sense of the word.

However, the impact of the war cannot be eliminated so easily. Even though Korlo City has a rich entertainment industry and many socialites who are famous in the north, a large amount of important intelligence and news are still transmitted and transmitted here every day. Transit – The geographical location of Korlo City gives it this function, and the intelligence base established by the Black Sun Society here serves exactly this purpose.

On the second floor of a seemingly ordinary alchemy supply store, a pair of bright eyes were looking through the window to the other side of the street.

The secret magic ritual is set up in the room. Different from the conventional magic ritual, this ritual uses a new structure developed by the Van En Magic Society. Although this special magic structure will affect the effectiveness and scale of the ritual, It causes quite serious restrictions, but it can avoid the tracking of those ancient creations and the detection of the Black Sun Mystery to a certain extent.

A slight buzzing sound came, so the eyes that had been observing the street closed slightly. The owner of the eyes carefully felt the vibration of magic power. After a moment, she opened her eyes, turned around and came to the desk and took out an account book.

With the stroke of the pen tip, the number of purchases in the “Snowflake Crystal Lamps” column increased by five.

At this moment, there was a rhythmic knocking on the door, so the young woman in the room immediately stuffed the account book in her hand among the other paper documents next to her, and her fingers quickly moved across the table. The vague magical fluctuations that had been shrouding the room immediately disappeared completely.

After finishing all this, she picked up a pair of glasses that looked particularly crude and bulky and put them on, then walked over slowly and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a face that was a little red from drinking came into her eyes.

“Oh… Miss Caroline, I thought you took a nap. It’s… really, hiccup, I’m sorry.”

The unique spicy smell of St. Steele’s liquor hit her face. The young woman named Caroline instinctively took a step away, and the uninvited guest outside the door took advantage of the situation and staggered into her room.

The person who came here was nearly forty years old, wearing the uniform of St. Steele, with the rank of captain, and a metal pin on his chest, which represented the family affiliation of this officer – he was born in Korlo City A large local aristocratic family.

According to the Dawn Society’s investigation records, at least four members of this family are serving the current St. Steele royal family, and two of them are responsible for important liaison work between the royal family and the Black Sun Society.

In the list of important targets listed by the Sword of Dawn headquarters, the drunk guy in front of her was the one who needed to be contacted. However, Weilin had no idea that not long after she arrived in Korlo City, the other party would Inexplicably, he delivered it to the door by himself.

During what should have been a very simple transaction of alchemy supplies, this “noble young master” who was nearly forty years old pointed at Wei Lin who was disguised as the shop owner and sighed.

“Dear God, madam, you look exactly like my first love!”

Yes, it was so rough and direct, coupled with the strong smell of alcohol that always lingered on his body, that gave Weilin the urge to directly use spiritual interrogation during the first meeting.

And now, this guy actually came to the door again.

It’s really a bit baffling.
