The sun is high

"I need your help."

When he heard Wei Lin's words, Xiuge's inner emotions were a little complicated.

"Tell me, I am an unlucky guy who was still thinking about how to escape from this small broken city. Why am I now helping you as a lake-level magic consultant? Isn't this a bit..."

Xiuge glanced sideways and saw that the patrol in the distance seemed to be approaching, so he quickly led Wei Lin to the side of the street and mingled with other pedestrians who were walking with their heads down.

The patrol began to move along the street, and soon, Shuge and the two men saw the whole team clearly.

They are at completely different levels from the previous teams composed of police officers and thieves from the Three Color Brotherhood. Xiuge can be sure that Mrs. Wendy, who had dared to yell at the ordinary police officers before, would definitely be shocked if she saw these guys. He will become the most docile and good citizen in the first time.

At the front of the team was an enforcer of the Legal Committee wearing a dark blue cloak, holding a magic book and a magic pendulum. He was tall and burly, even stronger than the soldiers in the army. Under his Behind his back, he also carried a thick steel sword that had obviously been specially treated.

The executor's steps were very heavy, and the magic pendulum in his hand kept swinging back and forth as he moved forward. When he came closer, Shuge discovered that the face of the executor of the Legal Committee was half a metal mask. , covering all the parts below his nose, and when the executor breathes, the two magic crystals embedded in the surface of the mask will emit a cold glimmer.

Behind this executor, there were about ten "police officers" following. Although these people were all wearing Salem City police uniforms, Shuge still recognized their identities at a glance - using the magic weapon to strangle the demon. In addition to the silver-treated long and short swords and the three daggers hanging on their waists, they each also carried a crystal gun. The styles of these magic firearms are obviously different from Van En's existing crystal gun styles. Xiuge actually saw wheels on them.

"Magic revolver..."

Xiuge sighed silently, and then withdrew his gaze. He and Weilin stood at the edge of the street, quietly waiting for this silent team to pass in front of them. Weilin's attainments in magic once again It was proved that the mage with the terrifying appearance and aura did not find the carefully processed disguise magic on the two people, nor did he find any traces of magic on the two people.

So the procession moved on, slowly toward the other end of the street.

"Miss Weilin, it seems that your concern is correct."

Xiuge said to the silent female mage: "If I read it correctly, the mage who just walked in front should be the legendary 'sword-wielding hermit', since even these people have already appeared in Salem City. , then the attitude of the Legal Committee should be very clear."

Wei Lin nodded slightly.

Sword-bearing hermits, also known as sword-bearers, are the most special type of people among the executors of the Dharma Council.

If the deep sea level mages in the Legal Committee are compared to the brain of Merlin Lehe in the Magic City, then the river valley level and lake level mages are equivalent to its limbs, and these strange-looking ones, while holding the magic book, The Silent Man, who also carries a long sword, is a sharp blade that is absolutely loyal to the Legal Committee and is always ready to expel and clean up all "diseases".

These special spellcasters, who use a large number of potions and reagents, as well as various rigorous magic rituals, are simply like puppets without personal emotions. The greatest significance of their existence in the world is to deal with All tough targets for the Law Commission.

The fighting methods of the sword-wielding hermits are flexible. When facing swordsmen, knights and battlefield veterans with outstanding combat attainments, they can use changeable magic to win. When the opponent is a spellcaster, they can rely on that A physique that can resist magic and precious magic-killing silver weapons to gain the upper hand.

Even the lake and river valley level mages, who were the backbone of the Law Committee, could hardly survive their pursuit.

"As long as the bearer of the sword remains loyal, there will never be a traitor in the peace of Merlin."

Xiuge quietly recited this pertinent comment on the sword-wielding hermits in his heart.

He is a little numb now.

The appearance of a sword-wielding hermit in the completely closed city of Salem is equivalent to telling everyone the current attitude and position of the Legal Committee. In the city of Salem, regarding the series of matters related to the armistice celebration, it controls the entire Van En. Another behemoth of magical resources has already stood on the side of the Kingdom of Deland.

Thinking of this, the article Xiuge had read in the newspaper immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

"Is this actually the case?"

He felt a little cold in his hands and feet, because the historical knowledge and common sense accumulated in another world told him that when social productivity began to change, many relationships in the world would also change accordingly. This basic logic did not It will not change depending on whether you have supernatural powers such as magic.

"Although the appearance of the sword-wielding hermit means that my current situation is more dangerous, it also reveals part of the truth. The armistice celebration...it seems that something terrible is going to happen that day."

Xiuge was thinking as he hurried on. Thinking of this, he turned around and asked, "Miss Weilin, there is something I want to confirm with you."

"explain."

"When we first met, you mentioned that the reason you came to Salem City to find me was because you received an order?"

Wei Lin nodded slightly: "Yes, is there any problem?"

"That's an order from the Law Commission's branch in the Kingdom of Votel, right?"

Hearing Shuge's question, Weilin's steps stopped slightly, and then she raised her head. After being disguised by magic, her face became much more ordinary, but her eyes were still bright.

"You are right. The order to transport the batch of 'adult changelings' to Salem City came from the branch of the Kingdom of Votel, and at the same time, there was also a letter from the Ernst family..."

Wei Lin's spirit was lifted, and she whispered: "I received that order nine days ago. The order was delivered not through the magic ceremony of the summons within the Legal Committee, but through the process that had already been passed. The letter owls eliminated by the Legal Committee are delivered.”

"Based on the flying speed of the owl... from Bolden, the capital of King Walter, to my hands, the time for issuing the order will have to be pushed forward for at least three more days."

Xiuge silently thought about what Weilin said in his mind, and then he said: "So, the order issued by the Law Committee branch of the Kingdom of Walter came before Merlinle and the Kingdom of Yudelan. In front of you, and delivered it to you, Miss Wei Lin, just right... They knew your location at that time, knew that you were not far from Salem City, and also knew that you would hinder the relationship with the Ernst family. Relationships take on those two seemingly simple tasks.”

The fog that had been hanging over the events grew thinner.

"In the original Vann history, Sugar Ernst was obviously able to survive the disaster in Salem City, but I don't know anything about the process... Judging from the current situation, my The Cheap Family or Cheap Dad probably urgently needs me, the illegitimate son, to do something, otherwise there would be no need to find a lake-level mage to save my life."

"Now it's interesting. I used to think that the changelings sent to the city were part of the Kingdom of Deland's plan. Now it seems that this is completely different... This can explain the need for the batch of changings to be urgently moved out of France at night. The reason is that the committee is stationed there, after all, their existence is not known to the top management of the Legal Committee."

Thinking of this, Xiuge couldn't help but turn his head and look to the northwest, which was the direction of Luowei Plateau.

In the past, as an ordinary office worker, he worked hard for his life in a stable environment every day. He never thought that one day he would be involved in the grand wave of an era. go.

It's just that Xiuge is standing in front of this wave, but he can't feel any excitement at all. If possible, he really wants to find a low-key place to shrink down, and wait until everything settles down before looking out.

While Shuge was seriously thinking about the changes in the situation, Wei Lin was also silent. This smart young magic consultant had also realized his current situation.

She knew that she might have been completely marked as a traitor by Merlin Lehe under the influence of the letter and the mission, and this also foreshadowed one thing, that is, on the Luowei Plateau, with the Kingdom of Votel as its The central plateau countries and the Legal Committee branches in their cities were also included in the list of betrayers.

Either become a more miserable refugee than the wild mage, or run on this road to the end, find a way to complete the mission, and completely fall into the embrace of the plateau countries.

"It seems I have no choice."

This idea appeared in the minds of both Xiuge and Xiuge at the same time.

…

The Legal Committee is located near the clock tower in the center of Salem City. In order to reach here safely, the two had to use disguise magic to perform several different disguises. When Shuge arrived at the Schubert Beer Hall, When he saw a familiar street, he couldn't help but stop.

Probably because of the decrease in customers, the beer hall was preparing to close early for a break.

He saw a girl's figure appear at the door of the beer hall. Her eyes were very red, and her body was shaking uncontrollably due to the violent mood swings. With the lights on the street, she turned her head and looked at In the direction of Ernst's old house, a bit of smoke floating in the air made her emotionally collapse again.

Just like that, the girl who was originally going to put away the business sign sat down on the steps at the door of the pub. She looked blankly at the surrounding streets and the scattered pedestrians, and then she could no longer restrain her excitement. Emotionally, I burst into tears.

Old Schubert's panicked figure appeared at the door of the tavern. Perhaps thinking that his niece had been treated badly, the old guy took a wooden stick out of nowhere and found that there was no one beside Sally. Sitting alone on the steps and crying, the always stingy tavern owner put down the wooden stick in his hand. He also turned his head to look at the smoke in the distance, and then sighed next to Sally. He sat down and reached out his hand to pat her gently on her back.

Shuge's eyes caught the attention of old Schubert. He turned around and saw a pair of strange young men and women standing across the street looking at the tavern. So he touched his sparse hair, and then said apologetically He smiled at Shuge.

Shuge instinctively nodded towards old Schubert, but then he realized that the other party could not recognize him now, so he could only forcefully look away, move his somewhat heavy legs, and stand in front of him. Walking towards the destination ahead in the night.

"Your friend, right?"

"Well...she probably thinks I'm dead."

Amidst Sally's undisguised cries, Shuge quickened his pace. He didn't dare to stay here anymore, for fear that he would be unable to help but go over and remind the poor girl so that she knew that he was not burned to death. In Ernst's old house.

But this kind of thing is definitely impossible to do.

The pursuers in Salem City may soon discover the relationship between themselves and Sally. Although Shuge believes that Putlin, who is in the Three Color Brotherhood, will find a way to take care of this common friend, but if If you show up, you may cause more trouble for them.

Under such a mood, even the breeze blowing at night seemed extremely depressing.

Weilin raised her hand. She felt the water vapor mixed in the wind, so she broke the silence between the two of them: "It's going to rain, we have to hurry up... Mr. Sugar, how is your magic recovering?"

Upon hearing this, Xiuge immediately adjusted his emotions and state, and then quickly checked his spiritual world.

After half a day's rest, his originally severely consumed magic power has been restored to a certain extent. The dark green magic crystal embedded in the center of the disc is constantly spreading its own magic light, and the man who was previously paralyzed in the groove is running wildly. The rat seemed to have regained its energy now. There was no trace of any scars on its body. It was leaning on the edge of the groove and lazily playing with its tail.

"It's almost there. As long as the situation doesn't happen again during the day, there won't be any problem."

Wei Lin nodded, and then she reached into her pocket, took out a prepared page with magic patterns engraved on it, and handed it into Xiuge's hands.

"Hold it and don't throw it away under any circumstances."

Wei Lin said solemnly: "There is a huge ceremonial ground set up around the Legal Committee's station. Although it is not lethal, it can 'capture' all spellcasters who step into this area. Once it is discovered that there are unknown Wild mages registered by the Legal Committee...you know."
