Ever since the mages of the plateau countries broke away from the Legal Council and re-established the Mages Council in opposition to Merlin Lehe, the connection between the northern snow mages and the plateau mages has become extremely delicate.
Although both are composed of mages, there have been huge differences in the positions and interests represented by each other.
The Plateau Mage Council is essentially a mage organization that is integrated with the Plateau countries. They not only represent the position of the Plateau mages, but also share risks and benefits with the Plateau countries.
Merlin Lehe is more like a huge reef standing in this turbulent wave of the times. Although it is constantly being beaten by the waves, it still stands firm by virtue of its own size and stable position.
After the war broke out, the relationship between the Council and the Legal Committee fell below freezing point. The two almost cut off all necessary exchanges and contacts, and in order to ensure that Merlin Lehe would not interfere with his own magical communications.
Due to interference and infiltration, the Plateau Mage Council even directly made large-scale adjustments and modifications to all the Mysteries of the Eye of Mel set up in plateau towns.
This makes communication between the two parties more difficult.
Therefore, when the female mage heard about the visit of the council ambassador, the old mage Weka also showed a surprised look. This was different from the plateau mage in his impression. He knew that the national character on these plateaus
It was as smelly and hard as a big rock in a swamp. Even if the Legal Committee took the initiative to show mercy and show kindness, they never paid any attention to it.
Now, they can take the initiative to visit, which is already a huge breakthrough.
"What are they here for?"
"Of course it's because of the newspaper, Mr. Weka."
Seeing the change in old Weka's attitude, the female mage finally smiled again: "The 'Xinhuo Bao' and the 'Ghost of Salem City' article spread faster in the plateau countries than in the
It's faster on the plains... Neither Walter nor Hain had time to stop their spread, but the Kingdom of St. Steele took some severe measures."
"Saint Steele, haha."
Weka shook his head, then he put away his pipe and his face became solemn: "I need a report on the recent battles of St. Steele's army, as well as their front trends... Let our people prepare, maybe use
Worth it."
"Don't worry, Mr. Weka, we are ready... I believe the ambassadors of the Council are also very interested in this. They don't trust their ally very much now."
Hearing this, the wrinkles on Weka's forehead relaxed: "Okay, let's go to the General Affairs Office now. By the way, help me find two more 'fire reports', they will come in handy later."
…
If we say, the changes in Salem City were the trigger for this huge war.
Then this Xinhuo Newspaper, which was hastily printed and began to spread widely with the help of George Markham's arrangements and accumulated contacts, became another important node in this period.
The article written by Master George Markham, supplemented on another page of the Fire News, used extremely direct words to reveal the truth behind the assassination of the St. Steele royal family, as well as the role played by the Black Sun Society in this.
important role.
This article had a great psychological impact on the people of St. Steele. People could not imagine that a society or sect that believed in strange gods would become the actual manager of their own country. Based on this knowledge, people immediately
Many abnormal phenomena over the years, as well as those weird decisions that directly harmed the country and its people, are linked to the Black Sun Society.
The St. Steele Kingdom government had no choice but to cut off all communication channels between the civilians and the frontline military. A considerable number of police stations began to be directly intervened and managed by the royal family. Prisons everywhere were overcrowded, and anyone who tried to harbor or spread the news was
, will all be subject to the most serious wanted orders and rulings.
As for the previous wanted warrants against Frey Meyer, George Markham and others, they have also been reactivated...
However, under such circumstances, the severe measures taken within the Kingdom of St. Steele further strengthened the authenticity of those claims.
Even the Kingdom of Hain and the Kingdom of Votel, as allies, have become more vigilant because of this.
In Votel's military system, Princess Sophia, who has begun to monopolize power, initiated an emergency transfer order against the northern ally St. Steele Kingdom with the acquiescence of her teacher "Three-Clawed Falcon", which belongs directly to the royal family.
The Ymir Corps and several other regiments began to move secretly towards the north of Walter, and some of the new ordnance and steam train resources that were supposed to be delivered to St. Steele were temporarily shelved due to various reasons.
.
At the same time, almost all the people involved in the content creation of Xinhuo Bao have begun to receive attention from many parties. Master George Markham and painter Gerasimov have applied for key asylum from the Plateau Master Council.
Professor Frey Meyer of the 5th Jäger Regiment left the station of the 5th Jäger Regiment with the help of Major Alfred and Vereen Ernst, and began to secretly go to Brown Hill Town.
Less than a few hours after Meyer left the 5th Chasseur Regiment, Weilin, who had used her authority to help Meyer deliver the message, ushered in a dozen Ymir Legion soldiers with royal orders and the order to accompany them.
The Council of Magisters.
Facing this expected arrest warrant, Wei Lin behaved extremely calmly.
She had already packed up the books and magic documents that she would need to use next. After being inspected by the soldiers of the Ymir Legion, she took these belongings and boarded the ship that would take her to who knows where.
vehicle.
Wei Lin didn't have much fear about what might happen next. She was as calm as if she was just attending an academic conference. When she was put on the magic-strangling silver shackles, she even held a few pieces of paper.
bar, calculating some kind of magic formula.
Naturally, people in Salem City have no way of knowing what is happening.
But in the past few days, these survivors who have become very numb have clearly felt the changes in the power structure in Salem City, as if an invisible hand is constantly trying to pinch the scattered people.
Like the clay in the city.
After the incident in Salem City, the only strange individual who returned to the city due to an accident seemed to have brought a vitality to this lifeless city of disaster.
With the adjustment of group action decisions by organizations such as Iris Street, the Legal Committee Station and the Tricolor Brotherhood, the survivors in Salem City finally caught a glimpse of an extremely weak light in despair, as if it was coming from the infinite.
A ray of sunshine shining through the dense clouds.
Driven by Shuge, the ruler of Iris Street, General Boots, finally completed a meeting with the temporary manager of the Legal Committee branch, Jeante Hermit. Although both sides retained a considerable degree of caution, they still ended up in the big city.
reached a consensus on the goal.
Subsequently, some soldiers from Iris Street entered the Legal Committee's residence. Just as Xiuge had arranged before, these soldiers became sentries on the surface of the Legal Committee's residence. Even the walls of the residence were hung with
Iris Street sign and flag.
As the only remaining alchemy talent in Salem City today, the boss Gerald with ogre blood finally got the treatment he deserved. He got rid of the job of helping to look after the warehouse and maintain weapons on Iris Street every day.
work, and was able to enter the laboratory where the Legal Committee was located, and joined the research team headed by Master Justina.
Their task is very heavy. In the extremely limited time that follows, they need to complete the verification of the hypothesis proposed by Master Justina and further confirm the magical nature of the descendants of the Dark Abyss.
Felix and the other scattered survivors who were huddled in the hiding place with their children were finally accepted by Iris Street. On the recommendation of Shuge, Felix, who was once the head of the Salem Mutual Aid Association, took on the responsibility of
In charge of the management and review of the survivors of Iris Street.
At first, Felix didn't understand why Shuge emphasized the so-called "vetting" when accepting refugees. However, when he successfully used some rhetoric related to the "Black Sun Society" to test out several
After seeing the wrong person, he finally understood the intention.
Everyone is busy.
Xiuge was even more busy.
But when Iris Street and the Law Committee branch were trying their best to gather the scattered survivors, Shuge was also doing similar work, but he was using the identity of the leader of the Tricolor Brotherhood, and he was targeting
The target is not the scattered and pitiful ordinary survivors, but the bandit dens that have gathered in groups in Salem City and occupied a considerable part of the supplies and hiding places.
Although Salem City is not big, it is enough to breed a considerable number of maggots.
"Leader, the people on Iris Street have clashed with our people. They seem to have a lot of mages... According to your previous order, we have abandoned that block and all the people have withdrawn. Some of them cannot be taken away.
The supplies and alchemy equipment should be given up directly."
A member of the Black Sun Society was seriously reporting to "Xuge" in the conference room where the Three-Color Brotherhood resided.
In the eyes of these members of the Black Sun Society, this young leader seems to have become a lot cooler since he completed the "clearance" of the Legal Committee's residence. Now, from time to time, his body will show a strong
The black light and shadow made all the members of the association even more awe-inspiring.
The mage "Bolva" sitting directly opposite "Xiuge" was currently carrying out certain experiments with that extremely ugly and ferocious face. According to him, this was a task assigned to him by the leader.
No one else is allowed to interfere.
"Xuge" nodded, he opened his mouth, and a faint black mist floated out, and then he said: "Just follow the plan and give up control of the southern area of Salem City. This is the first step between me and Iris Street."
The agreement reached between... we will focus on the north."
"Yes, we are doing this, but the sewers in the north of the city are more dense, there are more 'Children of the Abyss' there, and the losses will be greater."
"It doesn't matter, they are just a bunch of fools. If they die, they will die."
"Xiuge" sneered, and his tone became a little weird and colder: "Don't forget to gather those who have objections to our decisions. If they don't accept our approach and are unwilling to obey us,
orders, then it will be up to me to give them the corresponding end..."
The members of the association nodded repeatedly: "That's right, leader! This morning, our people captured some people in a building in the north. It is said that they were members of the Salem Mutual Aid Association. They should have been solved on the spot, but you
I gave the order before, so I brought them all back and locked them in the basement. You can see them at any time."
"Well done, go about your business... Let those fools be careful and don't kill our prisoners."
Although it was just a very simple compliment, this member of the Black Sun Society who was recognized by the "leader" was extremely excited. He bowed to Shuge and then respectfully exited the meeting room.
After the door was closed, "Xiuge" who was sitting on the soft chair immediately collapsed. He exhaled heavily, and a thick magical mist immediately floated out.
Seeing this, "Bolva" sitting opposite him shook his head. He silently picked up two clean glass jars and mixed the two groups of incomplete offspring larvae that had just been catalyzed by the incomplete medicine of the Black Sun Society.
Stuff them in and line them up in a row.
After that, "Bolva" stood up, locked the door of the conference room, and then waved his hand gently.
With the fluctuation of magic power, "Suge Ernst", which had been maintained for most of the day, immediately turned into a mist and disappeared from the place. Then "Bolva" stretched out his palm to his own
With the touch of his palm, the extremely ugly face immediately twisted violently, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a dark mask.
The crystal wall clock on the wall beats little by little.
Xiuge picked up the water cup. The cup contained a cold refreshing drink. It tasted very bad, but it was considered a luxury item in Salem City today. After all, many people may not even be able to get hot water.
This is his rare rest time.
Maintaining the mirror messenger substitute for a long time and wearing the black mask that allows one to obtain the appearance, memory and thinking of others will bring extremely serious magical and mental burdens to Xiuge. If it is just a consumption of magical power, it would be fine.
Yes, but wearing a mask for a long time will make Xiuge feel disordered.
If possible, he really didn't want to feel and pry into those memories from Bolva.
