The external changes to the Royal Palace of St. Steele have been relatively limited, but its interior furnishings, like those streets, have undergone tremendous changes in this short period of time.
The messenger who arrived here riding "Ashalu" quickly passed the guard's inspection. He quickly handed over all the self-defense weapons and magic books he carried with him, and then walked into the huge and spacious corridor.
St. Steele's royal palace covers a large area, and what he wanted to go to was not the location of the royal family members, but the large lecture hall closer to the entrance.
The walls on both sides of the corridor have been covered with a thick layer of velvet. These dark blue velvets have been treated with some special magic, which makes their color extraordinarily deep, as if they can directly absorb all light.
The sculptures of the Knights of St. Steele that should have appeared on both sides of the corridor in the past are now replaced by some strange shadows.
The outlines of these shadows are very vague, and combined with the dark blue velvet on the wall, it is impossible to observe them carefully with the naked eye.
People who walk here for the first time often only think that the shadows are human-shaped statues. However, when they really get closer and observe carefully, they will find that these shadows actually seem to be living things with life.
Objects, but they change very slowly, and most of the time, they remain in a rickety state, just like old men who are hunched over, with their hands and heads lowered.
The messenger's eyes quickly swept over these strange shadows. He had heard other people in the association mention before that these shadows would secretly change their posture when no one was watching, or try to move freely.
Members who are qualified to ride "Asharu" and deliver important messages to the association are often spellcasters, and this messenger is no exception. According to his own understanding, these shadows are actually passed by some powerful members of the association.
A family of certain gods summoned by special sacrificial rituals.
However, due to the completeness of the ceremony, these dependents have not really been able to achieve the expected effects of the society members in the association. They cannot yet leave the ceremony venue too far and can only exist as guardians of the core residence of the association.
And cannot be sent to those real battlefields.
For those members of the association who are responsible for related affairs, how to quickly transform these blessings and power from real gods into effective assistance is a problem they currently have to face.
But today, this important message was successfully delivered from the eastern region of the Goddess Plains, which was enough for the Black Sun Society to open a new gap.
Although the messenger did not actually read the content, he saw a strong sense of joy on the face of another companion who was responsible for delivering the message. Without thinking about it, he knew that some of the attempts made by the association on the southern coast of the plain
Preliminary results have been obtained!
Soon, the messenger passed through this mysterious corridor and entered the large lecture hall under the supervision of two silent guards.
The large lecture hall originally used by the Life Sect to hold annual speeches and promote the Fire of Life doctrine has also been transformed into an important gathering place for the Black Sun Society. Here, all people related to the God of Life and the Goddess Mel
The decorations and sculptures have been violently removed, a tall Black Sun Mystery has been erected in the center of the lecture hall, and the emblems and flags of the various university associations within the Black Sun Society have been hung on the four walls of the lecture hall.
Today is the gathering day for core members of various societies within the association.
The messenger controlled his emotions and walked quietly into the large lecture hall.
On the podium not far away, he saw a figure holding a cane - that was Herbert Galton, the second person in charge of the association. As before, he was wearing a straight, clean professor's uniform.
, with a calm face, but compared with the past, his serious face had a somewhat eye-catching "decoration".
It was a metal eyepatch embedded with magic crystals, covering one of his eyes.
The messenger also heard about the whole story behind this incident.
It is said that Professor Herbert suffered a serious betrayal in a previous gathering. During this betrayal, he lost an eye. Although as a mage, he could use healing magic to restore the injury, but in order to show
Professor Herbert took the accident seriously and kept the wound permanently.
Of course, some people say that this is a punishment given to Professor Herbert by the first person in charge, because his mistake caused important things in the association to be lost, which may have a very big impact on the association's follow-up plans.
.
Hulbert turned around, his eyes lingered on the messenger's clothes for a moment, and then gentle words came over: "Thank you for your hard work, where is the news?"
"Sent from Branch No. 8, and forwarded to the border via the secret ceremony of Branch No. 6, No. 43, and No. 29."
The messenger stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and delivered the important letter to Hulbert's hand. Then he added: "Branch No. 8 has lost contact after successfully sending this letter. Initially,
Presumably, the branch may have been exposed and destroyed."
Hulbert nodded slightly. He did not express any opinions on the situation of the members of the association branch, but directly lifted the protection ritual imposed on the letter and sent it to the Mystery of the Black Sun.
Seeing this action, the members of the society who were discussing certain issues shut their mouths. The next moment, as the magic letter was delivered to the Black Sun Mystery, a thick fog immediately emerged from the huge sculpture full of blasphemy.
come out.
The iron chain connecting the huge black sun shadow shook violently, and then the mist that poured out was quickly woven together like threads with consciousness. In the blink of an eye, these deep threads weaved a huge picture.
.
Everyone's eyes were focused on it.
As a result, the surging light and shadow absorbed the spirits of those present, and the next moment, they saw clear images inside.
It was a port with many ships moored, and it was the residence of the Dawn Society. The sea in the distance was constantly flashing with strange psychedelic colors, and among these colors, many strange figures kept emerging.
These dependents who are closely related to the ancient existence are trying to attack the Dawn Society's defense line.
The next second, the picture distorted again, and a more tragic battlefield appeared in front of everyone. In the picture, these core members of the Black Sun Society saw the figure of the palace hound. They saw that this hound was supposed to be standing with them.
The beasts that work together and serve the great gods are killing the sea beasts from those groups wantonly.
On the deck of another ship, they saw a familiar figure.
The young face who carried the Black Sun Scepter with him and was using his own strength and various weapons to kill sea beasts seemed to feel the prying eyes of an external force. When the center of the picture successfully focused on him, the young man
Suddenly he glanced in this direction.
Although this was just an unconscious move, the fog hidden deep in the young man's eyes was too strong, so the spy's sight ended, and the scene displayed by the Mystery of the Black Sun ended.
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, the image woven by the secret ritual exploded gently and turned into billowing clouds again.
Many of the people present were considered "familiar faces" of Shuge. They were all participants in the Black Sun Society rally at that time. Therefore, the moment Shuge's face appeared, their expressions became subtle. Among them
Some people even felt nervous about this - after all, the number one "victim" of this series of events related to Shuge was on the edge of the secret ritual, and they were worried that Professor Herbert would offend others because of this.
However, unexpectedly, after seeing these scenes with his own eyes, Herbert did not show any anger, but instead showed a satisfied smile on his face.
When the light and shadow emitted by the secret ritual gradually dissipated, Herbert also returned to his podium. He paused twice on the wooden floor with his cane, and then said: "I know that everyone here is here.
What are you worried about? You think these pictures from Branch No. 8 of the Principality of Bult are full of bad news for us, right?"
Of course, no one would answer, and Hulbert didn't care. He smiled and shook his head: "Relevant matters will be taken care of by our colleagues from the Poseidon Society. Come on...please ask Mr. Frank to tell everyone,
Do these images meet your expectations?”
Following Herbert's words, a figure on the right side of the lecture hall stood up.
Frank, like other members of the Poseidon Society, wore relatively revealing clothes. Even in this cold northern country, he only added an extra windproof coat, as if he didn't feel the cold at all.
He nodded to the surrounding members of the association, and then said: "What everyone sees is our new plan that has been prepared for a long time... Praise to Charron, the Lord of the Ocean, the Poseidon Society successfully found its legacy on the coast of the Kingdom of Hain
The gift is the charming colors you see in the picture.”
"Yes, we saw it."
A member of the society with the logo of the Dark Abyss History Society on his coat said: "But with all due respect, whether it is along the coast where the Dawn Society is stationed or on the vast sea, the gifts from the Lord of the Ocean seem to have failed to make a difference to us.
The enemy inflicted real and effective damage...especially the betrayer, who became stronger and more unpredictable than before."
"Haha, what you said is just an appearance."
Frank smiled and shook his head: "You need to know that the invisible Lord of the Ocean is also the incarnation of life in that sacred era. In those gorgeous colors, there is not only power, but also endless wisdom... They
They are not defective products that we restored with our humble efforts and arrogant thoughts, but truly complete descendants of the gods with sufficient potential."
When these words came out, the faces of the members of the Dark Abyss History Society immediately turned ugly.
Frank's words were really harsh.
Anyone with a brain can tell that the "humble power and arrogant thoughts" he mentioned refers to the Dark Abyss Historical Society, and the "defective products" naturally refer to the failed creations in Salem City.
.
"What we are doing now is just the beginning... Their numbers are huge and hidden in the boundless ocean. No one can remove them from the deep sea, and they have now begun to come into contact with the despicable people.
"
Frank spread his hands and his voice rose a lot: "This time, they succeeded in using those weapons to win a humble victory, but these losses were negligible to the huge group. Every time they came into contact, they
All can obtain enough knowledge and nourishment from it...The ocean will eventually welcome back its true master, and how can those despicable people waiting for liquidation resist attacks from different directions at the same time?"
…
"This time, Felix and the others did a good job, at least much better than I expected."
In the Dawn Society's station, Meyer, who was holding a report, found Daswell, who was wiping his face vigorously with a towel. When Meyer said this, Daswell put down the towel in his hand.
The black ash on his face was not completely wiped off, which made him look a little funny.
However, Daswell never cared about this kind of thing. He wiped the remaining water droplets on his face with his sleeve, and then asked: "How is it specific? I heard that those young men successfully destroyed a stronghold of the Black Sun Society?"
"It's not just a stronghold, it can even be said to be a branch."
Meyer waved to someone not far away, and soon, Sally, who was busy sorting out documents, quickly sent a few selected reports to her teacher.
Meyer handed the document forward, took a sip from the water glass, and then said: "Our previous judgment was correct. Before we officially gain a foothold, we should ensure that the land under our feet is clean enough...
...Haha, even in the Principality of Bult, the Black Sun Society is hidden deep enough, and the scale of this branch exceeds our expectations."
Daswell quickly read through the report in front of him, and then frowned: "The entire Goblin Chamber of Commerce in Blue Algae Port? Is it to this point?"
"Yes, after receiving the letter sent from the Windless One, Felix sent people directly there and notified the mages of the Legal Committee... It's a pity that those Black Sun Association
The members responded very quickly, and when our young men kicked open their door, the senior leaders of the chamber of commerce were busy destroying records and destroying the secret ritual."
Meyer lamented: “They have been taking root for so long, it’s hard to imagine... These guys had already started to develop there before the Blue Algae Port was renamed. I highly doubt that what happened at the port that year was
They are behind the series of bloody conflicts and the so-called dye monopoly."
"Felix told me that he wants to uproot these guys. Ha, in my opinion, this is not easy."
