The sun is high

Chapter 32 Be cautious when working overtime

There were almost no pedestrians around the Legislative Affairs Commission.

In fact, no one would want to be close to such a place at such a time. After all, the Law Committee has a bad reputation among the people. No matter where it is, people will always be afraid of the extraordinary powers that they cannot understand. However, the strange thing is that after people witness the magic-casting behavior of the Dharma Council mages, they often pray to the gods they believe in, hoping that they can perform miracles.

At this time, people began to look forward to the manifestation of extraordinary power.

It's just human nature, there's nothing strange about it.

Xiuge and Weilin have separated. According to the plan and arrangement, Weilin will try to enter the Legal Committee's residence to explore the current situation. She very much hopes to find out the current personnel changes in the residence. After all, during the escort She has very limited authority on the task of becoming an adult changeling, which means that besides her, there are probably other insiders in the station.

If we could contact these insiders, we might be able to get rid of the embarrassing situation the two of them are currently in in Salem City.

The list of personnel and material mobilization that Wei Lin wanted to get was given to Xiuge to complete.

As a senior magic consultant, Wei Lin has realized the ability of the strange mouse summoned by Shuge through the small encounter during the day. To be honest, she is now very curious about these magics and Shuge itself. , because according to her judgment, the "tentacle magic" used by Shuge and the magical creatures summoned have far more power than ordinary "raindrop" magic. To exaggerate, they are even enough to crush some "Stream level" magic.

In the past, such a peculiar case would have been brought back to the Legal Affairs Commission for further investigation.

"When I helped maintain the resident ceremony site, I never thought that such a day would come... The situation is really changeable."

Wei Lin sighed softly, and then she lifted her disguise magic and eliminated all traces of magic on her body. After that, she walked towards the station alone.

At the same time, Xiuge also came to a store not far from the station. After confirming that there was no one in the clothing store, Xiuge successfully opened the locked door with the help of the running rat, and then Sneaking into it silently, he will continue to control his magical summons here.

According to Wei Lin's instructions, Xiuge brought the running rat in front of him, and then he carefully wrapped another page that could suppress the fluctuations and traces of magic power around the running rat's body like clothes. According to the According to Wei Lin, only by relying on the magic on this page can the summoned creature with a small amount of magic power successfully pass through the huge ceremony hall of the Legal Committee. Otherwise, the running rat will immediately show its traces before it gets close. And take a hit.

However, the running rat was dissatisfied with the behavior of its owner. It was like cats that were put on small clothes or collars for the first time, always twisting and trying to tear off the tough paper on their bodies.

As a last resort, Xiuge could only give it a mandatory order in his mind, telling it not to touch or damage the paper on its body.

"Okay, let's go."

After confirming that there were no omissions, Xiuge secretly opened a gap in the window. After the Running Rat Group got out, he locked the window again, locking himself in a thick darkness.

With the help of the eyes of the running rat, Shuge was able to observe the night world outside more clearly, and he soon discovered that the close cooperation between the Tricolor Brotherhood in the city, the Kingdom of Delan, and the Law Committee had far exceeded own imagination.

"Does this count as being included?"

Xiuge looked at the thieves who were moving in twos and threes on the nearby streets, carrying daggers, daggers and crossbows, and swinging simple magic pendulums in their hands. He was quite surprised. After all, the mages of the Legal Committee are in this world after all. With their extremely high status, it is hard to imagine that they would extend an olive branch to a group at the bottom of society.

What surprised him even more was what some members of the Tricolor Brotherhood were doing.

Shuge discovered that these thieves were deliberately "visiting" some residents and businesses.

Judging from the style of the building and the decoration style in front of the door, the people they visited were all Votels, and the thieves' visit methods were not very friendly.

"It does not appear that these members of the Tricolor Fraternity were engaged in looting... they were actually conducting searches and they appeared to be angry."

Shuge observed it twice, and then controlled the running rat to dive into the darkness: "I once heard that the founder of the Three-Color Brotherhood was originally from Delan, so he used the emblem that fit the Kingdom of Delan." Three Colors' as the name of the organization."

He recalled for no reason the dissatisfaction he expressed towards the Votel Kingdom and the Votel people when he was chatting with Putlin in the tavern. He is a very typical Delan young man. Now it seems that this kind of dissatisfaction Hostility may have long been common in the hearts of those young people.

The running rat began to quickly approach the Legal Committee's residence, and not long after, Xiuge saw the huge building surrounded by walls.

Such a scale is enough to be regarded as a manor standing in the city.

"I don't know how Wei Lin plans to get in..."

Through the eyes of the running rat, Xiuge carefully observed the sentry set up at the gate. In addition to the regular elite guards holding enchanted steel swords, there were two more on a tower set up behind the gate. The executors of the Legal Committee, these are two stream-level spellcasters. They look quite relaxed. They seem to be sitting on the tower playing cards lazily.

This is normal. After all, with a sufficient number of guards and magic rituals set up in the Legal Committee's residence, it is enough to deal with most external threats.

Dull thunder rumbles from the direction of the Luowei Plateau. At this time of year, under the influence of Fanen's western magic flow, the terrifying monsoon named "Poseidon's Roar" will carry thick water vapor across the land. Crossing the mountains to the west of the plateau, we launched a mighty expedition toward the Luowei Plateau and the Goddess Plains further east.

This year's "Poseidon Roar" seems to have come a bit early.

"You have to get in through the sewer before it rains."

Shuge sighed, and then controlled the running rat to sneak towards a ditch near the Legal Committee's headquarters. He was lucky. It hadn't rained in Salem City during this period, so the ditch was very dry. There weren't too many messy things, but even so, a suffocating and terrible smell rushed into Shuge's brain through the running rat's sensitive nose.

"Oh My God……"

Shuge, who was far away in the clothing store, couldn't help but retched, and then decisively blocked the running rat's sense of smell at the magical level.

Unlike the human Shuge, this strange mouse who has been endowed with "the bounty of the Earth Mother" is particularly excited now.

It seemed that entering the sewers was like coming home.

In the building on the left side of the Legal Committee's residence, the mage clerks wearing white robes are still not resting at this moment. They are busy processing one after another newly arrived order documents.

Most of these clerks are raindrop-level entry-level spellcasters. It is too difficult for them to complete the magic inscription and take a step further on the path of mage. Therefore, they can only rely on their own control of magic power to work in the Legal Committee. Get an ordinary job in various agencies and departments.

Although it is an ordinary job, compared to ordinary people in the outside world, the working environment and salary provided by the Legal Committee are enough to allow them to have a more superior life than ordinary people.

A man with glasses and thin hair controlled his mage's hand and delivered a large stack of magic documents to the table next door: "These documents have been processed, take them to the secret instrument for recording, and then destroy them. .”

"Ah good……"

The young clerk stopped the magic pen in his hand. He took the stack of documents, quickly flipped through them and checked them, and then said doubtfully: "No, they are all documents marked with the Mel logo. They should not be sent." Do you want to keep it as a file? Directly destroying it is against the rules."

The middle-aged man turned his head and reprimanded in a low voice: "I think you are stupid because you worked overtime! Or you were dozing off in the meeting earlier..."

He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, and then said in a lower voice: "Be clear, this is the new order from Merlin Lehe brought by the sword holders... If something goes wrong, it is not a loss. The job is so simple, do you want to be dragged into spiritual interrogation?"

The clerk shrank his neck, then nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

"Hurry back when you're done. It's not time to rest yet. There are too many things to do tonight."

The middle-aged man ordered, and then scratched the thin hair on his head in distress.

Merlin Lehe's new order came too suddenly. Those cold sword-wielding hermits actually asked the clerks in the station to check all the documents and records in the past six months within one day, and to collect all the documents that had not been through Merlin Lehe. To find out, the workload is extremely exaggerated, even for mage clerks who have mastered magic and have extremely high office efficiency. It is a huge burden.

The clerk controlled the mage's hand smoothly, carefully avoiding other people walking in the corridor. After reaching the middle section of the corridor, he took out the magic pass document he carried with him and gently pressed it on his right hand. The magic pattern in the middle of the metal door on the side, then with a flash of light, the door slowly opened.

The huge metal secret instrument known as the "Eye of Mel" exists in every Dharma Committee station. This is the basis for the Dharma Committee's orders and eyes to easily reach everywhere in Van En. It is engraved with fine lines. On top of the copper-colored metal base, magical light of different colors flashed continuously. An octahedron carved and polished from a huge magic crystal was suspended in the air. An open eye was carved on every plane of it.

There was no one else in the secret room, so the young man came to the innermost side of the room and placed the checked documents in his hands on the platform extending from the base.

He took out his magic certificate again and was about to activate the secret ceremony when he suddenly heard a small sound coming from the upper corner of the room.

"what?"

He turned around in confusion, and found that the source of the sound was actually the extremely narrow pipe located diagonally above - this kind of pipe would be found in all rooms where the Eye of Mel Instrument was installed. The reason was simple, too large a magic crystal. It will slowly emit odors that can harm the human body, so the air in the room must be replaced at all times.

The next second, the young clerk saw two green eyes popping out of the narrow and dark tube. He was startled and took two steps back.

The thing in the pipe seemed to be startled. It was stunned for a moment, but then it took the next step.

Three long and powerful tails protruded from the ventilation duct. They groped outside the duct like flexible tentacles. Soon, one of the tails touched a metal mechanism, and the tail flexibly On top of the machine, he broke it hard and successfully opened the metal mesh blocking the pipe.

At this time, the clerk in the room finally reacted. He exclaimed, and the thin magic power in his body began to operate, so the basic self-defense tricks that almost all magic apprentices and raindrop-level mages would learn were displayed, and an unusually bright , but the extremely limited electric light burst out from his palm and flew towards the ventilation duct.

However, the thing hidden in the pipe was faster than his magic. The moment the lightning appeared, a running rat with three flexible tails and its body wrapped in the pages of the magic book jumped out of it and landed lightly. Beside the clerk.

"Magical creatures!?"

The little knowledge the young man learned in the magic school had not yet been fully returned to his teacher, so he immediately realized what was happening in front of him. Someone actually successfully avoided the ceremony venue set up by the Legal Committee and turned a magic weapon into a magic weapon. The summoned object was sent to the station!

He didn't care too much. He shouted loudly and raised his palms. While performing the only self-defense magic he knew, he ran towards the heavy door of the secret room in panic. However, for confidentiality reasons, the magic ritual was attached to it. The metal door is enough to block out most sounds, and the young clerk's shout cannot be transmitted at all.

Xiuge saw all this with his eyes. How could he dare to let the other party escape? He immediately controlled the running rat and rushed over. It pounced and bit the clerk's back fiercely. After knocking him to the ground, The three tails immediately swept up like ropes and wrapped tightly around the opponent's neck.

"Low...Low..."

The clerk's struggle gradually subsided. Perhaps because he had a trace of sympathy for the helpless overtime workers in his heart, Xiuge did not kill him. After making the other party suffocate and faint, he forcibly curbed the murderous desire of the running rat. , ordered it to release its tail, and then controlled its summons to come to the stack of documents.

"The remaining magic power is limited, I need to speed up the progress... I hope I can find something useful."
