The sun is high

Chapter 13 Laying out the chips

The atmosphere in the bedroom is subtle.

What happened at this time was very similar to some scenes described in Xiuge's manuscripts.

The young down-and-out writer sat nervously on a chair in the bedroom, while a beautiful female mage who had just "appreciated" his manuscript sat on the bed opposite him. Both parties looked at each other in silence, but neither dared to do anything. Make the next move...

Of course, this kind of content can only appear in Xiuge's unrealistic fantasies.

Because even if he was given a hundred courages, he would never dare to touch on topics related to the Legal Committee.

The dignity of the Legal Committee is absolutely not allowed to be violated. Once this happens, let alone the illegitimate son of the Ernst family, even if you are the current heir of the Ernst family, you will be the lake-level executor of the Legal Committee. They will also be at his doorstep very quickly.

What's more, the only one who dares not move now is himself.

Xiuge's knowledge of the magical engraving he received is extremely shallow. Although the actual battle with the changeling insect shows that it does have good lethality, until now, he can't even know the name of this tentacle magic...

Wanting to rely on this only magic to solve the current difficult situation, Xiuge felt that he was overthinking.

When his strength could not bring any help, Xiuge decisively chose the second policy, which was to have a good chat with the other party.

"Veline Ernst."

Shuge silently repeated the other party's name in his mouth, and then he said: "Miss Ernst..."

"Don't call me by my last name, it means nothing to me and it means nothing to you."

Wei Lin said very coldly, she turned to a certain page in her magic book, her fingers quickly swept through the pages, and a brand new high-end magic ink pen appeared in front of Xiuge.

"In accordance with the requirements of the Legal Affairs Commission's Investigation Order No. 6, I will make detailed records of the private questions and answers."

She let go of her hand, and the magic ink pen floated above the magic book. Immediately after, Weilin calmed down her expression and recited in an extremely serious tone: "I hereby request the magic god Mei Your care and attention.”

A strange magical brilliance appeared on the suspended magic pen, and then Shuge heard Weilin continue to say: "Under Mel's notarization, everything said becomes a secret. Anyone who talks about secrets, All are protected.”

The moment the sound fell, Shuge saw the light blue light that symbolized Mel, the God of Magic, wrapping the magic pen and the magic book. Then the magic pen floated gently to the pages of the magic book, seemingly Ready to record and write.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sugar, under the witness of Mel, the conversation between you and me will become a secret."

Wei Lin strictly abided by what she said. She adjusted her name for Shuge and then said: "Not only that, until our dialogue is completed, your own safety will also be protected by the God of Magic."

"Is this some kind of contract?"

"Contract? Well... you can also say that."

Wei Lin nodded: "Then, please answer my question."

"Mr. Shuge, I hope you understand that even under the protection of the God of Magic, I can't hurt your life, but I can still make you suffer some pain."

Sharp eyes drifted over: "Do you understand?"

Shuge nodded repeatedly.

He has always been good-natured, but in fact, the development of the situation in front of him has exceeded his expectations. Weilin Ernst's performance and words revealed a secret truth to Shuge - this seemingly rigorous female mage has There are doubts about the mission she is performing, and she is also unable to understand many of the current events in Salem City. From this point of view, she is the same as herself.

Judging from the fact that the other party was unwilling to talk about the surname "Ernst", Shuge believed that the task Wei Lin was performing now was most likely related to his "cheap family".

After successfully reaching these conclusions, Shuge was able to face the current situation more calmly. Soon, the questions and answers between the two officially began.

"Mr. Sugar, where did you go from yesterday afternoon to late at night?"

Following Wei Lin's question, the magic pen immediately started writing quickly on the pages of the magic book, and the pen tip and paper made orderly and regular sounds. This scene and feeling made Xiuge feel helpless.

He did not expect that the first transcript in his life would be completed in the world he created.

Xiuge sorted out his thoughts, and then he replied: "Yesterday afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening, I was at my home... to be precise, in this bedroom, and it wasn't until my friend came to the door that he called me Awake."

Shuge glanced at the magic pen that kept writing, and then said: "After that, we set off together, walked to the old Schubert's beer hall, and then returned... What happened on the way back, Weilin Madam, you should know everything.”

"Um."

Wei Lin took a look at the magic book. She was very satisfied with Shuge's "honesty", so she then asked: "So, Mr. Shuge, did you see anyone worthy of attention on your way to and from the beer hall?" Things?"

Hearing this question, Shuge thought for two seconds, and then he said with some uncertainty: "In this way, on the way to the beer hall with my friends, I once saw a truck filled with heavy wooden boxes. There are many workers moving the wooden boxes into the shops facing the street..."

"Can you confirm the time?"

"Sorry, I don't know the exact time, but it's definitely close to nine o'clock."

Wei Lin nodded, and then she asked: "So, you should have heard that sound when you were in the beer hall, right?"

"It was hard not to hear it, because the vibration was so shocking that the person next to me almost dropped their wine glasses."

"Um……"

A strange smile appeared on the female mage's face, and then she asked: "There is one thing that I am very confused about, and I need you to answer it, Mr. Shuge."

As soon as these words came out, Xiuge immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart, and then he heard Weilin ask: "Since there are so many people who heard that voice, in the end, why are you the only one who deliberately came here?" Check the situation? Mr. Sugar, have you paid so much attention to these matters in the past?"

Shuge spread his hands and said helplessly: "You are right, Ms. Weilin, but the street where the accident happened happened to be on my way home."

"Ah."

The female mage chuckled, and the meaning was self-evident.

Weilin reached out and held up her magic book and looked over the sentences she had just recorded. Then she let go of her hand again and let the magic pen continue to record: "Mr. Shuge, I found that you are concerned about what is happening in Salem City. It's not normal to be extremely concerned about something that's going on... If you insist on hiding something about it, it's only going to do you a disservice."

Xiuge smiled bitterly in his heart.

Of course, Vereen Ernst's idea is correct. This is a truly thorough way of doing things. Whether it is the magical inscriptions that suddenly appear on one's body, or those behavioral logics that are extremely abnormal in the eyes of others, all of these can be solved through a more thorough investigation. To answer the deep root problems.

"But can I answer this kind of question casually? Do I have to tell her that Salem City will be destroyed soon? Will I really not be treated as a wild mage?"

Xiuge gently bit the tip of his tongue, his mind spinning rapidly at this moment.

He knows very well that it is obviously not advisable to tell the real "truth", and if he wants to make the other party believe in his judgment, he must present a set of clear and reasonable logic.

Shuge couldn't help but press his hand on his pocket, where he still kept the five gold coins he got from the editor-in-chief of Peace Newspaper Philip in the morning.

"You can try..."

A set of thoughts vaguely formed in Xiuge's mind, so he calmed down his expression, raised his head and asked: "Ms. Weilin, please forgive me... You probably don't know what happened to the accident last night, right?"

The question from Xiuge caused Weilin to fall into a brief daze. She did not expect that what she was waiting for was not an answer, but a rhetorical question from the other party.

Wei Lin's face darkened slightly, but she was not annoyed by Shuge's "offense". Instead, she nodded calmly after a brief thought: "Yes, that's why I need to ask you these questions, why? Did Mr. Sugar make any new discoveries?"

"It's not a discovery, but I do have some doubts..."

Shuge looked directly at the other person: "Last night, when I was walking in Mrs. Small's shopping street, I noticed a strange noise coming from a store next to me. I had a brief stalemate with the thing that made the noise, and After that, Ms. Weilin, you came."

"Well, that's true."

Wei Lin nodded: "But unfortunately, I arrived a little late after all. I couldn't successfully track the thing hidden in the darkness you mentioned... It's like a drill." As if it had entered some kind of pipeline, it quickly disappeared from my sense of magic power."

Xiugezi carefully observed the other party's expression, and after judging that the other party was not lying, he sighed: "That's a changeling insect."

Wei Lin's eyes suddenly shrank: "What?"

"A changeling bug that has just entered its adult state. It may have gotten into the underground sewer of the shopping district, and followed my breath all the way to my home... just in the morning."

The magic pen floating aside is still recording continuously, but now, the parties to the question and answer seem to have changed, and the initiative of the conversation has been taken by Xiuge.

"Ms. Weilin, if I were you, I might check the wooden boxes that were transported to the store on the main road in Salem City. Since a changeling bug can slip out there, there may be more surprises. '."

The impact of these words of Xiuge on the female mage was obviously extremely shocking. Weilin's eyes flashed violently twice, but soon she regained her composure and she asked: "Mr. Xiuge , the information you provided is very important, so apart from this, what else do you know?"

"About the Peace Press."

"Um?"

"Philip, the editor-in-chief of the Peace Newspaper, accepted a commission from a nobleman of the Kingdom of Deland, and now he is preparing a series of news that can provoke a conflict between the Votels and the Deland people in Salem City."

"Nobles of the Kingdom of Delan?"

"Morrell, this surname is probably familiar to Ms. Wei Lin."

Xiuge spoke out the secret information he knew very smoothly. He believed that if the female mage in front of him really did not understand the orders and tasks issued by the Legal Committee, then she would naturally tell these details on her own. Connect in series and combine together.

"Snapped!"

The female mage raised her hand and lightly snapped her fingers. The magic pen on the side immediately stopped moving, and the magic book fell into Wei Lin's hand again.

"Mr. Shuge, to be honest, your performance is far different from your career and past. If I hadn't confirmed your identity, I would have thought that someone had deliberately tampered with your mind, or that you had been manipulated by someone. Some wild mages made it into a magical puppet."

At this time, Weilin Ernst returned to her original state. She turned her wrist slightly and hung the magic book back on her waist. Then she stood up and slowly came to Shuge.

"The Legal Committee branch of the Kingdom of Votel asked me to take you safely out of Salem City after the armistice celebration... I originally thought this was just an insignificant escort mission for the illegitimate son of the Ernst family, but now it seems that it is not. in this way."

Xiuge, who originally thought he had taken the initiative in the conversation, felt the cold magic power stirring slightly in the air, so he shuddered and asked cautiously: "What do you mean by 'not so'?"

"You are not an ordinary illegitimate son of a noble...and the task I received is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Verin Ernst looked seriously at the pale young man in front of her, whom she had previously regarded as a trouble and burden, and then she said: "Mr. Sugar, I believe that you may have mastered some secrets, and I also believe that you have You don’t know the origin of your magic engraving, but if you think that you can avoid disaster with these secrets and your magic that can only be regarded as raindrop level, then you are too naive.”

Xiuge raised his head, and he also became serious at this time.

Facing this female mage who was very likely to become his shelter in a short period of time and who had a subtle connection with himself and the Ernst family, Shuge knew that it was time to change his strategy.

So he asked: "So, Ms. Wei Lin, can we become collaborators next?"

"Collaborator?"

Wei Lin was stunned for a moment, but then a pretty, yet ridiculing smile appeared on her face: "Whether we can become collaborators depends on you, not me. Just like It's the same thing that gamblers always say... 'Place your chips and talk.'"
