Just a heavy rain and the fierce sunshine that emerged after the rain instantly washed away the tense atmosphere that had remained in Salem City the day before. As the heavily armed Law Commission enforcers disappeared from the streets,
People started their lives again.
Compared with the taciturn spell casters of the Law Commission, who carry spell books and are accompanied by many armed soldiers, the police officers who are carefree, wearing familiar faces, and holding simple magic circuit pendulums in their hands are not so scary.
What happened yesterday and early in the morning only added new things to talk about for most residents.
In people's eyes, the old Ernst house can only be regarded as a topic and conversation piece. No matter whether it remains intact or is burned to ashes by fire, it is always a symbol of ominousness and disaster. As for the news that spread this morning
The bizarre magical cases that occurred near the Legal Committee's headquarters have become the most popular horror stories in people's mouths.
Xiuge and Weilin had already listened to similar discussions.
Regarding the death of the sword-wielding hermit from the Legal Committee, the two of them had heard more than four versions.
People always have extraordinary instincts and talents in adding spice to stories. In addition, the people who spread these stories themselves have no good impression of the Legal Affairs Commission, so these story versions become increasingly outrageous and exaggerated.
And when Shuge began to hear the twisted version of the sword-wielding hermit who contracted a quirk due to his overly repressive daily life and had to hug many swamp witches every day to fall asleep, he could no longer remain calm.
As for Wei Lin, her expression went from calm to distorted, and then from distorted to numb.
At this time, the speech in Rowe Square had reached its climax.
"Judging from the series of names that Theseus has, he should be one of the 'Lost Gods', or some kind of existence closely related to them... and the so-called Dream Sanctuary is extremely likely to
Maybe it’s the traces of power left by the ancient gods.”
If this delicate state really breaks down completely at a certain moment, then the impact on you will be destined to be devastating.
Based on what she saw and heard along the way, the female mage made a conclusion that, although very lacking in basis, was difficult to refute.
Although the words Theseus said in the "Dream Sanctuary" sound confusing, after careful analysis, many subtle and important messages can be derived.
It seems that this organization, which once mainly consisted of stalkers and thieves, has now begun to widely recruit ordinary young people in the city.
Shuge couldn't listen anymore. Although Putlin was still chattering about the bombshell news that came from nowhere, Shuge could no longer hold anything more in his head. He jumped from the top of the wooden box.
He jumped down and stood next to Wei Lin again.
The middle-aged scholar took the magic loudspeaker from Putlin's hand again, and his inflammatory voice once again echoed over Rowe Square: "The Kingdom of Walter and their followers are...
They are preparing to use their troops to make the city of Salem surrender completely. They deliberately provoked disputes during the armistice celebrations. They ignore the sincerity of the Kingdom of Delan and the survival of the city of Salem. They should get out!"
For some reason, Xiuge faintly sensed a property that was very similar to Theseus in this dark green crystal.
Xiuge turned his attention to the metal disc in his spiritual world. Because he had absorbed enough magic power, his entire spiritual world was now filled with a rich magic mist. Under its nourishment, everything seemed
Well organized, the black tentacles are constantly stretching their bodies at this moment, while the running rat is taking a nap lazily...
This is the westernmost part of Salem City, which is also the busiest commercial district in the entire city. The number of shops and vendors here is far greater than that of other streets in the city, and it can naturally attract more customers.
At the same time, many caravans and business groups have chosen this place as their temporary base.
He saw the figure of his friend.
Among the dense crowd of onlookers, impassioned speeches continued to be heard. The onlookers around him were talking a lot, but they could not suppress the high-pitched voice.
He hates such inflammatory words, especially at this delicate moment. Such public remarks are very likely to cause a series of troubles. What makes him even more uneasy is that the person responsible for maintaining security in the square
The guards were actually standing not far away, but it seemed that they had no intention of stopping what was happening at the moment, and were even talking and laughing with a few young people.
Shuge noticed that although these young men did not wear hoods, they all wore uniform armbands made of three crossed daggers on their arms, which was the logo of the Tricolor Brotherhood.
"People are knives, but I can't cook fish."
Even if he didn't see the speaker's appearance, Xiuge could not help but frown just by hearing these words.
"The only thing that's certain is that although that guy's behavior is extremely bad and irregular, judging from his attitude, he doesn't seem to want me to die in Salem City like this..."
The trust and emotion for his friend that remained in this body made Xiuge involuntarily hold the wooden box beside him at this moment. He could hear that there was no hypocrisy in Putlin's words. At this moment, he was better than
Everyone needs to be angry.
The speaker paused for a moment, seemed to have made some movement, and then continued: "Come on, Putlin... let me tell you what is happening around Salem City at this time!"
With the recent changes in the situation, some scenes that have never appeared before have also appeared in Rowe Square.
As these words were spoken, the crowd that was originally just talking about each other exploded in an instant. For these people who have long been accustomed to a peaceful atmosphere, the military is already a foreign concept, but no matter who they are, they can feel it.
The danger and bloody atmosphere of this word.
But now, what Xiuge is particularly concerned about is the dark green magic crystal.
"This is a provocation! This is a betrayal of the armistice agreement signed together. This is a contempt for the city of Salem and the lives of all people in the city!"
The female mage's voice rang in her ears: "Mr. Shuge, it seems that your friend has made his own choice..."
Xiuge chose to remain silent.
The residents of the western urban area are mainly the Votel people. Relying on the long-term commercial cooperation between the plateau countries and the giant-eared goblins, the Votel people quickly gained an absolute commercial advantage in Salem City. Although
Compared with the buildings of the Delan people, the buildings of Walter are solemn and cold, but under this disguise, they reveal the coveted wealth and prosperity.
Along the way, he was thinking seriously about what he heard and saw in his dream.
At this time, the moving magic van had slowly stopped, so Xiuge and Weilin got out of the car along with the other passengers.
"Yes, everyone heard it right. Votel, Haine, St. Steele on the Luowei Plateau... and more and more kingdom armies affiliated with them have gathered together at this moment, and when the Votel Kingdom
After the prince has participated in the armistice celebration, he will go directly to the rugged hilly land to preside over their so-called 'grand military exercise'!"
To this day, he still cannot know the true name of this crystal that he exchanged for female jewelry from the Kingdom of Walter. It is embedded in the center of the metal disc and continues to affect everything around it.
"Salem City is terrible! We all know that Salem was born due to the truce between Votel and Delan, and exists because of the agreement and peace between the two. But now the cornerstone supporting all of this has disappeared. Everyone
Residents! Whether your blood originates from Votel or Delan, whether you belong to the human race or not, you should seriously think about where is this city headed now?"
Because he has also heard many strange rumors about Ernst's old house and his "death".
"you do not say."
"Get out!!!"
"Everyone, everyone! I...I got a new piece of news, a piece of news that the independent government of Salem City will never let you know!"
Perhaps there were really people who were convinced, or maybe the Tricolor Brotherhood had planted some collaborators in the crowd before. Soon, the shouts to cater to the speech filled the entire square, almost overwhelming those Votels.
All the spires of the style houses were knocked down.
Xiuge silently made a conclusion in his heart.
But this is no longer important to Xiuge. As a person who has relied on making up stories to support his life for a long time, he has long been prepared to become the stories and entertainment told by others.
Putlin was nervous at first, but after he said a few words, he quickly found the feeling of giving a speech, so he shouted into the magic loudspeaker: "In the past two days, the armies of the plateau countries have
We have arrived at the rugged hilly land only two days away from Salem City!"
After this series of events, Xiuge could no longer completely compare the world he lived in with the "Fan En" written by himself. The two were highly similar in frame, but the content filled in them
, but there are essential differences.
When everything moves from paper to reality, deviations will inevitably occur. Xiuge knew this before, but he never imagined that the deviations would be so exaggerated.
Yes, Putlin... This simple, sincere and passionate Salem young man is standing on the makeshift "lectern" at the moment. Perhaps for today's speech, he specially changed into
He was wearing clean and straight clothes, and his beard and hair were also arranged. At this moment, his face was a little red due to excitement, and his hands were even trembling.
Shuge glanced sideways at the female mage next to him. He was now not sure whether Weilin Ernst could still carry out the "mission" he accepted under today's high-pressure environment. Between him and her,
The cooperative relationship between them is not completely equal.
Under Xiuge's complicated eyes, his friend took over a common magic loudspeaker on the market from a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. Then, Putlin's familiar voice came out in Rowe Square.
Spread in the middle.
Xiuge was stunned for a moment. He stopped moving forward, then looked around, then climbed onto a huge wooden box stacked next to him, and stood on it like other idle people watching the show, facing the speech.
Looking in the direction.
However, this has also become one of the main sources of conflict between the Votel people and the Delan people in Salem City.
"Salem City is definitely not a whole! Here, although we have a so-called independent government, all its actions, decrees and even all positions are never independent and fair!"
Xiuge recalled what he had said when he talked to Putlin before, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Putlin's real thoughts are more intense than what he showed. Maybe I should have persuaded him to leave."
From the Tricolor Brotherhood, but...how is this possible?"
"Their mouths are scarier than sorcery."
"I know, I know that everyone is preparing for the annual armistice celebration, but do you really know what is happening outside Salem City?"
Under the influence of many factors, "Rowe Square" located in the western part of Salem City has become an important place that no one can avoid.
Through Wei Lin's discussion of sorcery and magic, and through everything that appeared in the "Dream Sanctuary", Xiuge was certain that the ancient world of Van En once had some lost beliefs and civilizations, but at a certain stage,
Everything in the past was cleared and buried, and only some ancient magic was eventually passed down along with the magic power. Perhaps as Theseus said, the gods who once had the absolute upper hand in this world were eventually replaced by the ones that people believe in today.
Many gods replaced him.
Several dissenting members of the Salem Mutual Aid Group walked out of the crowd. They were afraid of the situation around them, but the reason in their bodies still allowed them to insist on shouting out their ideas.
As a result, fierce conflicts broke out immediately.
After quarreling, pushing, and then punching and kicking, Xiuge saw his friend rushing to the front excitedly. His years of struggling at the bottom of society gave him a wealth of fighting experience, so those poor people
The members of the mutual aid group were knocked to the ground within a few seconds. At this moment, the square guards who had been staying nearby to "watch the show" finally came over. They dispersed the onlookers with slow movements, and then left them unscathed.
The Brotherhood members were tied up together with the injured residents.
Amid the shouts and applause of onlookers, Putlin and his companions were led to the end of the street.
