"Yes, an inconspicuous fishing village... called 'Norse', located just north of 'Port Were', an important port in the Kingdom of Hain. The people living in the village are basically fishermen, and there are not many
What’s special about it.”
These important intelligence and messages have obviously been firmly memorized by Sophia. She slowly said: "Our spies have followed Hain's detectives to search the fishing village up and down, but except for what I mentioned before,
Apart from that special blood, nothing else has been discovered."
Xiuge took a serious look at Princess Walter in front of him, squinted his eyes, and then asked: "Is that all?"
"Why, Mr. Sugar doesn't believe me, or does he not believe Walter's spies?"
Faced with Shuge's doubts, Sophia acted very calmly. She smiled and said: "There are really only so many important clues we can find in Knowles Village. However, it may also be because our spy is not you, Mr. Shuge."
Such a powerful spellcaster, so they might miss something."
Faced with Sophia's subtle teasing and hints, Xiuge didn't pay too much attention. He shook his head and responded: "This is because you misunderstood Your Highness. Naturally, I have complete trust in the abilities of Walter's spies."
, perhaps there may indeed be some strange traces in the scene that are difficult for ordinary people to detect, but these omissions can often be made up for by other aspects of information."
Sophia's expression was still calm, and she put on an "I don't know what you're talking about" expression: "Make up? Mr. Sugar is referring to..."
"I think His Highness's spies should have investigated Port Were a long time ago, right?"
Shuge had a smile on his face and looked cheerful: "These small fishing villages in the Hain Kingdom basically need to cooperate with the fishery association to transport and sell the seafood they catch... So, in Norse Village and its villagers
Before they were attacked, the Port of Vere, which was closest to it, should have left relevant visit or sales records, right?”
Sophia was silent for two seconds, and then she nodded: "Correct guess, the royal spies did do some investigations in Port Were, and we also made some guesses based on the results of these investigations... I would like to hear from Xiu
Mr. Ge, what do you think of these findings?"
Seeing Shuge nodding in agreement, Sophia continued the previous topic: "In addition to the fishery association, as well as friends and relatives, the villagers of Knowles Fishing Village also have a group of regular guests in Port Vere."
"Guest? What type of guest?"
"The fishing village of Knowles is close to the fjord. Every winter, many large and ferocious sea fish gather in the fjord. There is a group of wealthy residents in Port Vere who are very enthusiastic about catching such sea fish."
Xiuge nodded: "Well, just like the nobles on the plateau like to hire elf guides to go into the forest to hunt, the Haien people like to hire fishermen to take them out to sea...a very reasonable choice."
"Yes, and what our spies found was a wealthy businessman from Port Vere."
Sophia continued: "The businessman revealed that a few days before the accident, a villager from Knowles Village who was familiar with him came to Port Were to purchase supplies. The villager mentioned that since the black sun rose, the fishermen in the village
The catch became very abundant, and some people even caught extremely huge sea fish, which were almost twice the size of common similar sea fish.”
Hearing this, Xiuge already had a rough guess in his mind.
According to these recent situations, all abnormal changes in the ocean, whether it is the growth or disappearance of fish schools, or those fish that have undergone changes in shape, can definitely be linked to the existence of the "Color of Life" and the "ocean community".
What's more, the Kingdom of Hain is not too far from St. Steele, and the Black Sun Society can easily infiltrate or destroy the Kingdom of Hain.
Sophia observed Shuge's expression closely. Seeing that Shuge had finished his short thinking, she took the initiative to ask: "Are these things related to the Black Sun Society?"
"It's related, and it's not limited to the Black Sun Society."
Facing the heir to the Kingdom of Votel who used a strong attitude to deal with the Black Sun Society, Shuge did not intend to hide too many things. He said bluntly: "Your Highness, I can tell you clearly that in Van En's Ocean
Inside, some extremely ancient and dangerous creation is rapidly resurrecting. In this process, the role played by the Black Sun Society is most likely just to 'guide'."
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
"My knowledge of them is equally limited, but as far as I can see, they are a kind of existence with strong vitality that once spread throughout the ocean. They call themselves 'communities' or 'groups'. They have amazing intelligence and potential, and are almost
It can affect everything in the ocean and trigger a series of changes."
After listening to Shuge's words, the smile on Sophia's face finally disappeared completely. She squinted at Shuge to confirm that he was not joking, and then asked: "What you described is almost like the ocean."
'Owner'."
"Indeed, at least in the distant past, they have always occupied this position...and unfortunately, the ancient sea god they follow and believe in is most likely the first one to be expelled by the goddess Mel.
Target."
When he said these words, Shuge clearly saw the change in expression on Princess Sophia's face.
If Finn, the royal butler, were here now, he would point out Sophia's problem without mercy - as the noble heir to the throne, her expression management seems to be slightly out of control.
Although she has witnessed the rise of the black sun, the changes in the rugged hills and the destruction of Salem City, in Sophia's understanding, the content of the battles with gods, dependents and them should still appear more.
In those literary works or mythological books.
Compared with these indescribable and intangible things, Sophia felt that the actual battlefield and artillery fire were more real and "cuter".
"I'm not joking or exaggerating. I'm just describing everything I know."
Shuge picked up the kettle with his own hands and refilled Sophia's cup with tea: "Your Highness, you should know very well that the things that happened before and the shadows hanging in the sky now are not the result of a series of events, they are just one.
It’s just a new beginning, and the same topic we just talked about is the same.”
After all, Sophia's psychological quality is still very good. In almost a blink of an eye, she has completely recovered, but she is obviously not as relaxed now as when she just visited.
After picking up the teacup again, Sophia was silent for a while. After carefully thinking about what Shuge said, Sophia sighed softly: "Mr. Shuge means that we will be here soon."
A new battlefield is about to be opened, right?”
"exactly."
Xiuge nodded: "However, I must remind Your Highness that this time, the initiative to open the battlefield may not lie with us, but with them...it lies in the hands of those 'communities' that we still don't understand enough and are hidden deep in the entire sea.
.”
"If Your Highness wants to understand the details in depth, please send mages from the council and the royal family, preferably scholars related to the field of magical creatures. I promise, as long as you see the magic we collected from the Windless One,
With those samples and the experimental reports compiled, they can quickly realize the seriousness of it."
…
This time, the conversation between Shuge and Princess Sophia lasted for a long time. When the two sides ended the conversation, it was already late at night, and the previous tea had been drank by the two of them during the conversation.
The topic of the second half of the conversation undoubtedly fell on the cooperation between the Kingdom of Votel and the Dawn Society.
In this matter, Sophia showed a high degree of sincerity.
Her understanding of the Dawn Society far exceeds Xiuge's imagination. The current difficulties faced by the Dawn Society and the decisions to be made seem to be within the scope of the heir's understanding. Sophia can even target the next steps of the Dawn Society.
He gave many important opinions on the location selection of the long-term residence.
Shuge cannot represent the entire Dawn Society. Sophia obviously knows this very well, but she also understands Shuge’s influence within this emerging organization, so she doesn’t mind putting herself, or the people from the Kingdom of Walter
The idea was exposed to Shuge.
"We need allies very much, but what we need is not big countries like Hain or Delan, nor organizations like the Council or the Legal Committee... They are excellent partners, but as long as they are unable to solve the Black Sun Society,
Due to the penetration problem, Votel will not be able to maintain absolute trust in them for a day, let alone form an alliance."
When Sophia said these words, she became like a beautiful stone statue standing in the light, which made Shuge realize that she was indeed sending an "invitation letter" to herself and the Dawn Society on behalf of the Kingdom of Walter.
.
"I believe that the Legal Committee has similar opinions to ours on this point, which is why those mages will give you so many discounts and favorable conditions."
Although Sophia's voice was steady, it was clearly full of strong temptation: "What I want to say is that the conditions given by the mages can also be provided by the Great Eagle, and in terms of personnel, especially spies and soldiers,
In terms of training, we can provide more effective guarantees... As for military supplies, haha, I think Mr. Shuge, you should also know about them very well."
"As you said, what we are facing now is just the beginning of a new era and a new war. I also hope that our conversation tonight can be the beginning of an important cooperation."
Just like that, after saying this series of words, Princess Sophia opened the door of Shuge's room generously and walked out of his room directly.
During this whole process, Sophia did not avoid anyone in the house. She glanced majestically at the panicked servants, then nodded schematically at the members of the Dawn Society who were discussing matters, and said
He greeted Wei Lin very cordially as he just walked out of the room.
After completing this series of actions, she left the Dawn Society's villa, met up with several Ymir Legion soldiers who had been waiting outside for an unknown length of time, and walked in the direction of the Votel Embassy in a high-spirited manner.
"..."
Xiuge stood at the top of the stairs with a frown. Facing the strange looks from all directions, he coughed twice.
After driving away these unclear onlookers, he returned to the door of his room angrily, and then saw Weilin staring at him with a funny face two steps away. She probably had just taken a bath, her hair was
It spread directly and looked a little moist.
"You guys have been chatting for a long time. I originally wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the restaurant in the embassy district for dinner."
Weilin raised her hand and touched the wall gently. With the collision of two different magic powers, translucent magic ripples spread from her fingertips. Upon seeing this, Xiuge waved his hand and canceled
The rituals previously used to create an environment for conversation.
"I didn't expect the princess of Walter to have the habit of turning into a raven and flying in through the window, but the things she wants to talk about are indeed very important. I guess that after the things here are over, she might even visit in person.
Once the Dawn Society’s residence.”
As he spoke, Xiuge gently touched his stomach. His stomach was full of tea, and he seemed to be making the sound of water when he walked.
In order to alleviate the vague embarrassment in the air, Xiuge asked tentatively: "I remember you said that many restaurants in the inner city will not be closed. Why not go out for a walk now?"
"Of course. Although the meals made by those magic puppets are average, the desserts prepared by them are pretty good."
The vague smile on Weilin's face still existed, but she still readily accepted Xiuge's invitation. Her mage's hand quickly appeared and gave her a hair rope, a magic book and a long windbreaker.
Came over.
After the two of them left the villa, the members of the Dawn Club who had been silent for a long time finally got a chance to speak.
"Did you see it? That one seems to be Walter's princess."
"I saw it, it's her, there's no mistake! So, she came out of Mr. Ernst's room? When did she visit? I've been staying in the hall?"
"That's not the point!"
A member of the Dawn Society reminded in a low voice: "The point is, why did Princess Sophia stay in Mr. Ernst's room... uh, for so long? A whole night. Do the people of Walters like this?"
After some discussion, everyone turned to look at Richard next to them. He was also a Votelian and should know more about the princess.
However, Richard was now sitting in his seat blankly.
As a not-too-pure Votelian, his brain is somewhat insufficient now.
