The sun is high - #466 - Chapter 465 Get your wish

Walking in this completely unfamiliar world, full of weirdness and absurdity, Felix felt an extremely concrete reality.

On this street formed out of thin air on a wide deck, Felix could see many details that could only appear in real towns. He could see the gaps between the flat stone bricks, and he could see the details installed on the street. There is some dust attached to the central rail, and even the tire marks in the middle of the road can be found.

As for the slogans, decorations and posters on the houses and shops on both sides of the street, they were so rich that Felix was astonished.

Although there are no other pedestrians except him on this street, all the details that a city street should have are fully presented here.

The moment he saw the contents of those promotional posters clearly, Felix was a little confused.

The artistic style of these posters is quite unique. The characters in the posters are always portrayed in a very simple way, but they also appear to be very powerful. What surprised him even more is that the protagonists of these posters seem to They are all images of the lower class people in the northern region.

“Farmer, hunter…um, this is a fisherman?”

Felix stopped in front of a wide poster. In just a moment, he found all the people he could think of in the poster, from miners to mages, and everyone was enthusiastic smile, which made him feel a little unreal.

He wanted to see clearly what those slogans said, but strangely, when he focused his eyes on the words, the words that should have been easily legible became hazy, which made Felix unable to read them at all. Read their specific meanings clearly.

In desperation, he could only continue to move forward.

He walked through the seemingly extremely long street in just a few breaths. Felix stopped at the end of the street. His breathing became a little short and his mood became excited because he saw , right in front of him, a familiar guy was sitting behind a small round table.

That’s Sugar Ernst.

He looked dusty, and the long windbreaker on his body looked a little shabby, and there were some shadows like threads floating around his body, but there was a smile on his face, and there was something brewing in it that would only be revealed when he saw acquaintances and comrades. trust and happiness.

Surprise, confusion and joy mixed together in Felix’s brain. He quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pulled out the chair opposite Xiuge, then slowed down his movements and sat down carefully.

Fortunately, the chairs and tables seemed to be “real” and not illusory phantoms.

Before Felix could speak, he heard that familiar voice.

“Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous…well, it’s really me.”

Shuge looked at Felix’s thin face and frowned quickly. He asked seriously: “Felix, how come you…have aged so much? Has it been a long time since I left Van En?” ?”

Hearing this question, a smile finally appeared on Felix’s face. He shook his head, and then put the cane that brought him here on the table: “It hasn’t been too long, the war is still going on. , we are still struggling to advance the front… It is what turned me into this.”

Afterwards, Felix summarized what happened to Watch City and himself in very concise language.

After hearing Felix’s explanation, Shuge breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but his mood did not become comfortable.

Not much time has passed, which is a good thing.

Meyer and other core members of Dawn Society are still stable, which is also a good thing.

However, what happened to Felix made Shuge a little sad – his comrade was just an ordinary person. Even though Felix might have a will far beyond ordinary people, the lack of magic power in his body obviously couldn’t do anything about it. The terrible expense of supporting this cane.

The flow of magic power is bound to lead to the decay of vitality. This is a cold law without any reason, and it is also the most basic principle that supports the operation of Van En’s magic power.

And this means that as long as Felix continues to carry and use this cane, the burden on his body will not be relieved in any way, and will even continue to accumulate.

“It’s actually quite good. Now I feel like I have become your… um, elder?”

Felix grinned: “Oh, then I should be able to call you by your full name, right?”

“If you are happy…”

Seeing the other party’s appearance, Xiuge had no choice but to smile bitterly and wave his hand.

Felix relaxed his body, leaned back on the chair, glanced around, and said: “Okay, now it’s time for me to ask you a question… What is going on? Where did you run to? Gone? Where is this place?”

Shuge had already rehearsed the questions Felix wanted to ask in his mind, so he immediately began to answer them.

“Let’s start with the last question first.”

Shuge tapped his fingers on the table in front of him and pointed to the metal cane in front of Felix: “I got this cane from them when I first ‘attended’ the Black Sun Society meeting. Yes, the members of the Black Sun Society used some sacrificial tools left over from the lost era as materials to cast it, so it has a very broad and extremely exaggerated magic carrying capacity.”

“I was its first user, so my will once flowed in it, and now, you are its holder, and your thinking has been closely related to it… so this cane It became our channel of communication.”

“As for here…”

Xiuge raised his hand and pointed at the houses on both sides of the street and said: “You may think of this place as an illusion, or a dream. In the past, I have been here many times during my contact with the lost magic, but I don’t know much about this place, I only know that it always seems to make a series of changes based on what is happening in Van En or something that is about to happen.”

Shuge’s words were a little convoluted, but Felix quickly understood the meaning. He couldn’t help pinching his beard with his fingers, and then looked around with wide eyes: “You mean, I Everything you see here, I mean these towns and streets are actually some kind of…prophecy?”

Hearing Felix’s words, Shuge neither affirmed nor refuted. He looked at the other person seriously and then asked: “Felix, do you believe in the so-called prophecies or omens?”

“To be honest, I don’t believe it.”

As Felix spoke, his eyes rested on a poster on the left side of the street. The poster showed some miners wearing special heavy clothes and doing mining operations. They seemed to be very powerful.

“But if what’s being shown here is really a harbinger of what’s to come… I’d be a little bit more willing to accept it because they look really, really tempting.”

Xiuge nodded slightly. He was silent for two seconds, and then said: “In my opinion, everything shown here will indeed make people full of hope and enthusiasm, but I am more willing to believe in the so-called omen shown here. , but it is a reasonable inference based on the reality and development laws of Van En, and it may be just one of the possibilities.”

“I got you.”

Felix reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: “I’m glad you haven’t changed much… Xiuge, I can’t even imagine what will happen if you join the Black Sun Society with your ability. What an impact.”

Shuge shrugged, and then he continued: “Then your other question – where am I currently?”

Felix concentrated his attention. He had a hunch that he might hear some extremely shocking answers from Shuge.

He got his wish.

“I am currently in the dark abyss, or in other words, inside the black sun.”

“…”

Felix’s eyes widened, but he did not interrupt Shuge’s narration, but raised his palm with difficulty to signal him to continue.

So, Shuge described the events of that night in detail.

From Shuge’s words, Felix finally understood what the so-called miracle was, and finally knew what kind of terrifying power it was that could tear the wide square of Watch City into such a shape.

“So you are indeed in the hometown of those monsters now? Can you… still come back?”

“I don’t know, maybe there is a chance.”

Shuge smiled: “You see, the conversation I am having with you is actually an attempt, but there is still a big gap between achieving a spiritual link and actually returning, and that may be very risky. I have to Take it step by step.”

Felix nodded: “I understand.”

“Okay, we have almost sorted out the previous things, so next, I will talk about some more important things, about Van En’s next situation, and what I am going to do here.”

Xiuge calmed down his tone and looked at Felix with great seriousness: “The current situation of Dawn Society is not optimistic, right?”

“Yes, I suspect that we have some serious internal problems related to internal security and stability.”

“A traitor appears?”

“It’s just suspicion, but there are too many doubts and it involves a wide range of things. I can’t find a suitable solution in a short time.”

Felix truthfully stated the current predicament of the Dawn Society, and then asked: “Do you still remember Master Valery who helped us in Salem City before?”

After seeing Shuge nodding, Felix sighed: “Now, he is missing. Valery’s mother personally told me about this. We have picked up his family, reviewed it, and no problem.”

Afterwards, Felix stated what he learned about the abnormal situation about Valery.

As someone who knew the Black Sun Society and those ancient creations very well, Shuge almost immediately smelled a familiar scent from Valery’s abnormal actions. He judged in a deep voice: “When he appeared in front of his family, He is definitely still awake and has not been manipulated by the Black Sun Society, but he obviously knows that he is being targeted… There is something chasing him, and I think there is a high probability that it will not be the specific members of the Black Sun Society, but them Something conjured.”

“Like those beasts that attacked various places before?”

“Well, to be precise, they are hounds, but I think the threat of these things should be relatively weak… Valery was indeed exposed, but the Black Sun Society obviously wanted to stay alive, and they should have also discovered that they had been infiltrated problem, so we hope that we can open up gaps and counterattack us on a case-by-case basis.”

Xiuge was thinking quickly, and at this moment, a ripple came from the depths of his spiritual world.

Theseus’s voice rang in Shuge’s ears.

“I agree with your conjecture. According to this situation, the trouble they are facing is likely to come from a kind of dark abyss ‘residue’ summoned by the opponent through a ritual.”

As Theseus described, a clear picture crossed Xiuge’s spiritual ocean and was completely presented before his eyes. In the gloomy corridor filled with many abnormal structures, Xiuge saw many Many rickety human-shaped shadows constantly appeared and disappeared bit by bit. When the palace waiters and hounds were walking, these shadows would often lie dormant, and after they left, these shadows would slowly become active again.

They seem to be imitating the waiters they just passed by, but the imitation always fails.

“What is this?”

“There is no exact name. Generally speaking, it can be understood as the waste materials and residues produced when the Dark Abyss Palace trains waiters. They are like leftover materials left in the process of building a house. They are just piled up there casually. Sometimes , will also be used as a response to perfunctory those who perform the rituals.”

Theseus explained softly: “I guess those who are chasing the unlucky mage and trying to infiltrate into your organization are probably these things… They do not have the power of real waiters, nor can they move as fast as hounds. hunting, but they can follow and imitate the target for a long time. This is the only way and method for them to realize their own value.”

“You mean that the Black Sun Society summoned such a group of ‘remnants’ and tried to use them to imitate and infiltrate members of the Dawn Society?”

“It’s very possible.”

Theseus smiled and said: “Although it will be difficult to command these ‘residues’, you also know that there are indeed many Van En’s ‘spell caster elites’ within the Black Sun Society, and there are even the so-called Deep Sea As for the super mages, these guys are probably good at arranging such things.”
