The sun is high

Chapter 47 People in the City

The power brought by the "Mirror Messenger" is completely different from the Touch of Charron and the Running Rat, and it is also significantly different from the dark green crystal that emits this corrosive power.

It looks like a magical summon that can respond to calls at any time, but when Shuge tried to control it, he found that it had no way to exist without its own body, which made the Messenger in the Mirror more like a kind of magic summon. Special magical abilities that are directly given to one's own body.

When it started to operate, Xiuge discovered that his body shape seemed to be able to change to a certain extent.

This changing quality is somewhat similar to that of the changeling insects.

With the help of the messenger in the mirror, Xiuge can quickly change his limbs and body into a state that is almost between fluid and dense fog.

This feeling was very strange. When he tried to completely change his arm into that state, he felt that his sense of touch seemed to be forcibly "stretched". They became more sensitive, and the information transmitted back became more and more intense. Being more detailed, of course, will also look incredibly messy.

He could even feel the footsteps on the distant streets, and could capture the vibrations caused by the collision of tires and bricks when vehicles passed through the streets...

What's even more peculiar is that when Shuge causes his body to change, he can have very "interesting" interactions with all the surrounding physical objects.

First there are doors, windows and walls.

As long as there are gaps in these things, then he can let his transformed body "pass" through these obstacles.

The experience of this process was not good. Xiuge tested it with one of his fingers on the door lock. He only felt that in the process of "passing through" the door lock, his finger was forced to become a slender stick. The lines are constantly colliding with the metal parts, so Xiuge can even feel the many subtle structures in the door lock.

After repeated verification, Xiuge determined that this form can allow himself or a certain part of his body to pass through some obstacles. Of course, the time and magic consumed are proportional to the thickness of the obstacle and the size of the gap in the obstacle. , such as metal window bars or other similar structures, Xiuge can completely pass through them in an instant, but if a door is placed in front of him, this time will be extended infinitely.

Xiuge didn't dare to do the ultimate test on this ability. He was worried that he would revert to his original shape due to exhaustion of magic power when passing through certain obstacles. Once that happened, he would most likely be directly integrated with the obstacle itself. , that kind of weird way of death is absolutely unacceptable to him.

The second type of "interaction" must rely on a "mirror".

This is the result of Xiuge's bold guess and verification based on the name "Mirror Messenger".

Glass, flat metal, mirrors, even reflective armor and weapons...

When Xiuge actively uses the ability of the Mirror Messenger in front of such things, he can put his senses into it, as if putting his consciousness into the mirror space, just like the name of the Mirror Messenger , he can spy and collect information from the outside world from the mirrors he chooses. Of course, the flatness of these mirrors will also seriously affect the consumption speed of magic power and the accuracy of the information obtained.

"Fancy!"

Shuge commented on this, and the Mirror Messenger hiding in the magic groove spread his hands in a very humane manner, as if to express his dissatisfaction with this unfair evaluation.

And as the innermost three grooves of the metal disc were completely filled, new changes began to appear.

Many lines extend from the dark green crystal embedded in the center. They extend in all directions along the pattern on the surface of the disk, and are finally connected with the three grooves. Not only that, among the three grooves Between them, there are also thin lines connected to each other, which makes them form a triangle.

It looks like some kind of ancient and simple magic rune.

Under the influence of such a structure, Xiuge felt that the magic power in his body became more stable. When using magic, they responded more quickly and the loss was reduced.

"Although I don't quite understand the specific situation, for now, it's all a good thing."

Xiuge took his windbreaker and crystal gun, and then he came to Wei Lin's room. In the secret room, the light of magic was flashing, and the wall on one side of the secret room was filled with dense words. The magic formula.

"Okay, it's all stuff I can't understand!"

As a liberal arts student, Xiuge moved his eyes away very consciously. He coughed slightly, which attracted the attention of Wei Lin, who was deep in thought. Perhaps because she stayed up all night, the female mage now looked a little haggard. The tied up hair is also a bit messy.

"Mr. Shuge, is something wrong?"

The young female scholar was still immersed in her own thinking. Although she spoke, her eyes never left the wall full of formulas.

"Uh... Miss Wei Lin, you won't be leaving here for the next two days, right?"

The female scholar nodded gently twice.

So Shuge said: "I would like to trouble you to help me with my magic disguise. I need to go out and collect some supplies and information, which may be useful next time."

After hearing these words, Wei Lin finally turned around. She took a serious look at Xiuge, and then said: "I don't agree with going out at this time. Disguise magic is not omnipotent. In some unexpected situations, It is very likely to fail... and as far as I know, Mr. Shuge, you should still have a certain reputation in the city, right?"

Wei Lin said sincerely: "I suggest you try not to put yourself in danger."

After saying that, she immediately added: "This is not persuasion between friends, nor is it a suggestion based on a cooperative relationship... Mr. Shuge, you have to understand that if you disappear in this city, I am afraid that I will There is no way to gain a foothold on the Rowe Plateau, and the Ernst family will definitely not give me the opportunity to concentrate on academic and magical research."

Just when Shuge thought that this was Wei Lin's attitude, she sighed softly: "However, I am not an unreasonable person. If Mr. Shuge insists on going out, then I hope you can tell Regarding your purpose and reasons, I will not interfere with your secrets until it is completely safe, but please respect the things I need to complete."

"I see."

Wei Lin's words were well-founded and sincere, so Shuge nodded and said: "First, we need more supplies, not only funds, food and water, but also more weapons and magic. Crystals or even alchemy bombs, etc. This is not only to leave Salem City, but also to ensure that we can reach a safe place after escaping."

"Yeah, I agree."

"Secondly, the sewers under Salem City are very complicated. We know very little about it. Where can we walk, what channels can we leave Salem, and what preparations are needed... These are all unknowns, so Miss Weilin, We urgently need to find some insiders and get corresponding information from them."

The female mage continued to nod: "Reasonable."

She looked at Xiuge, and then asked: "So, where is the third one?"

Xiuge was stunned. He did not expect that Wei Lin would continue to ask questions, but then he heard the female mage say softly: "Thirdly, you still have some friends in the city who need to be notified. If conditions permit, you may even want to bring them with you." They go together, Mr. Sugar, am I right?"

When Shuge once again walked on the streets next to Rowe Square, he was deeply aware of the impact that prejudice and preconceptions may have on people.

He did not expect that Wei Lin would tell her the third reason for hiding it so directly and accurately.

Xiuge must admit that he has a very deep fear of the Legal Committee that he has spent a lot of energy and time to shape.

This is normal. In the process of creation, in order to make an organization deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the creators often mix their own emotions about specific concepts into the text. Now these emotions form the basis of Xiuge's response to the Law Committee and its Cognitive basis for all members.

It turns out that this perception is not universal in all situations.

"I had two enlightenment teachers, one of whom was the mage from Merlin Lehe. He guided me to master the basics of magic learning and helped me complete the magic inscription."

"The other one is an ordinary scholar. He used to give lectures in Meilinle and He. Later, because he put forward certain theories, he was deprived of the right to lecture by Meilinle and the official and was expelled to a small town in the North. middle."

Wei Lin's words were still echoing in Xiuge's mind.

"My second teacher insisted on a point of view. He believed that magic is a force that is contrary to human nature. Its existence will have a huge and lasting impact on people, so any spellcaster should persist in it. He is the foundation and principle of being a human being. Only then can he always use magic as a 'human'."

"Therefore, although I do not support it, I still agree with your third idea, Mr. Shuge... I will provide you with a magical disguise, but please also consider my interests and don't forget what you really need to accomplish. Those things.”

"The camouflage magic on you will be able to last until midnight. I can't determine the specific time. This is the case with camouflage magic. Although it seems stable, too violent magic fluctuations can easily affect its effectiveness... In short, you need to come back as soon as possible."

Xiuge silently repeated Wei Lin's instructions about disguise magic in his heart, and then quickened his pace.

Preparing funds, preparing supplies, collecting information about the sewers of Salem City, and going to Old Schubert's tavern... these few things may seem completely unrelated, but as long as they are properly arranged, Shuge is confident that he can complete them within one day. Most of it done.

There was an aura of restlessness in the streets, the traces left by angry and excited people last night.

The giant-eared goblin merchants have a keen sense of smell in this regard. Shuge saw that these guys had already begun to organize their teams and count their goods, especially those who cooperated closely with the Kingdom of Walter and even used them on the caravan logo. With the giant eagle pattern and the black and gold trimmed caravan, they felt a strong threat from what happened last night.

The image used by Xiuge today is that of an ordinary-looking young man with dark skin and hair that has been "dyed" by magic power into tawny brown. This is a common hair color among the Delan people.

He must ensure that he will not be inexplicably involved in those disputes today.

His caution proved warranted.

Because when Shuge walked to Rowe Square, he discovered that the giant plateau eagle sculpture that originally stood in the center of the square and was regarded as the symbol of the Walter Kingdom had been damaged. It had been overturned to the ground, and a large number of Slogans were painted on its body, and the outstretched wings were directly painted with an iris logo.

Some elderly people who were obviously of Walter descent stood far away on the edge of the square, sighing at the giant eagle sculpture.

"The guards in the city and the Three Color Brotherhood have obviously received the order. The former is conniving and the latter is inciting... However, the Royal Family of Delan should never have imagined that their noble circle has already been infiltrated."

Xiuge recalled the scene when he met "Mr. Morel" in the Peace Newspaper Agency, and couldn't help but feel a little scared. Between the disputes between countries, any individual is as small as dust, not to mention the two constantly rotating. In the giant millstone, there are even existences such as the Legal Committee and the Black Sun Society.

The sun in the sky is still golden and dazzling.

At least so far, it hasn't shown any terrible signs.

A few scattered children appeared on the street. They did not dare to make any noise, but gently held the new newspapers in their hands and shook them.

Seeing a young man with tawny hair walking towards him, a dark-haired newsboy named Walter immediately became extremely nervous. He hurriedly took the coins from Shuge's hand, and then casually stuffed the newspaper into the In his arms, he turned around and ran away.

Apparently, last night's chaos had taught these kids some caution.

Today's Heping Daily has an even more stench than before. Heping Daily has completely abandoned its pretense. All pages, all articles, and even the annotations mixed in the gaps, without exception, reveal a strong sense of malice. .

On one of the pages, Shuge saw a vivid photo.

In the photo, his friend Putlin was speaking impassionedly with a magic loudspeaker, and the following text made Shuge's blood pressure suddenly reach the top.

"From a righteous thief in Salem City to a man of insight who raises his arms and shouts!"

"Heroes of the Kingdom of Deland in Salem!"

Xiuge couldn't stand it any longer. He crumpled the newspaper into a ball, and then fell heavily to the ground: "But fart on you!"

It should be on the shelves next week~
