Regardless of the name used, when those crystallized cannonballs that were powerful enough to create violent explosions crashed into the city of Salem, the situation had further accelerated.
The shelling of Salem City was a statement. Although officially it was actually a "warning" shelling, judging from the magic photos in the newspaper, the power of these few crystallized shells was probably
Far beyond imagination.
"Mucci Type 3 Steam Crystal Cannon..."
Shuge recited this strange name, knowing that this was probably a new type of weapon developed by the workshop of the Mucci family, where Alfred belonged. Combined with what he had seen in the newspaper before, it was about the Kingdom of Votel transferring funds to the government.
With reports of large-scale tilt in a certain field, Shuge has enough reason to believe that the shelling launched this morning may also mean a demonstration and a display of results.
However, now, Salem City, which was the target of bombardment, is gradually fading out of people's sight.
Because no one can know the situation in Salem City anymore.
Even in the current state of extreme tension, the Legal Committee is still unwilling to agree to relax the blockade of Salem City. They refuse to lift the blockade ceremony imposed on Salem City, even at the expense of manpower and material resources, during the original blockade ceremony.
New reinforcements were carried out on the field.
However, this blockade ceremony has no ability to resist the artillery fire from the outside world. The only role it can play is to prevent all living creatures in the city from escaping from the confines of Salem City. This move was implemented in the Legal Committee
In the first few days of the war, a large number of people in various countries expressed their opposition to this. However, as the war atmosphere intensified, people's attention began to quickly disperse and shift.
Now, only a few people continue to pay attention to the situation in Salem City.
For the city of Salem, for the residents of the plateau and plains who were involved in the war, and even for Van En as a whole, this round of shelling was just the beginning of disaster and turmoil.
Looking at the lively streets, Wei Lin seemed a little lost in thought. She said slowly: "By the way, I also need to help you register as an official mage."
During the break between the two rounds of meetings, the formal responses from the two guests in hotel room 1049 were successfully delivered to Princess Sophia. After receiving the responses from Princess Sophia, the surveillance faced by the two Shuges was also revealed.
It was lifted, so the two people quickly left the Adlon Hotel and walked out against the reporters who kept trying to enter the hotel.
"But there is one thing I need to explain. Once I apply for the certificate for you, you will be marked as a student of Vereen Ernst in all official records in the future. Do you understand?"
"Shut up."
"I am not sure."
The Adlon Hotel is once again the center of attention in Borden.
"Can you handle this kind of thing for me?"
Xiuge's consciousness trembled: "Fortunately, this is winter. If we were in a hot environment, wouldn't it overload my head with high temperature if I did it like this?"
And he's also a mage.
However, behind Xiuge's back, he was carrying a crystal gun.
Compared to the young man who was full of complaints, the middle-aged man sitting opposite seemed much calmer: "Don't forget who you are loyal to. We only need to strictly implement all orders from the family."
The two bodyguards from the Ernst family tacitly changed the topic at this moment and chatted very smoothly about the current tension between Votel and Delan.
"I need to go back to the previous branch of the Legal Committee. There are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with. And I'm afraid I have to apply for my own mage certificate again... The one issued by Merlin Lehe in the past is probably no longer useful.
Already."
His current image is quite strange. His thin body and typical appearance of the Ernst family, coupled with several magic books tied with black velvet ropes in his hands, make him look like a man who is about to return from the library.
Or the young aristocratic scholar returning home from the bookstore.
At this moment, Xiuge's eyes were focused on a metal billboard hanging in the beverage shop opposite. The shop owner must have cherished this billboard very much, so he polished it and maintained it very well. Under the street lamp, the pattern on it looked exactly right.
It constantly reflects light, like a mirror.
Shuge nodded.
Wei Lin glanced at Xiuge: "However, the mage I registered with the Legal Committee is too short. Although I have obtained the lake rating, I am afraid I can only guarantee you an ordinary raindrop-level certificate. The rest of the assessments
You need to deal with the rating later.”
Shuge looked at the text that was compressed into the corners by the large-scale world situation and military news, and asked: "Miss Weilin, under what circumstances would the Legal Committee take such measures against a city?"
The feeling of transferring consciousness and thoughts and temporarily storing them in the mirror is very wonderful.
"That's enough."
But here, both of them felt the sense of freedom that they had left for a long time.
While he was talking, the figure who had been standing in a daze across the street suddenly made a move.
However, after receiving the response, Weilin showed a somewhat strange expression, but she did not say anything after all. After the two made a plan to meet in the Ernst Manor, Weilin held up her magic book.
, wrapped in a scarf, she walked to the other end of the street - where she needed to catch a vehicle to reach her destination.
Shuge shook his head. Under the gaze of several whispering young girls, Shuge came to a sculpture that was sheltered from the wind. At this time, on the street directly opposite him, there was a shop.
I saw him crossing the road and walking towards the hot drink shop.
However, the golden eagle claw emblem that the two of them carry now reminds them all the time that they still have extremely important things to complete next.
At a time when the flames of war may burn down your home and family at any time, it is really a very common decision to simply forget about such an existence.
The street lights on both sides of the road were already on, and Xiuge and Weilin stood together in the dim light at the intersection of Foreign Guests Avenue.
When the ability of the messenger in the mirror successfully took effect, Xiuge felt that his thoughts and consciousness had successfully crossed an extremely long distance, as if he had jumped into the water and plunged into the mirror-like metal.
Among the signs.
The existence of the descendants of the Dark Abyss is obviously not a secret to the Law Committee, and the blockade imposed on Salem City is most likely to deal with this extremely dangerous and unpredictable magical creature. However, in addition to the blockade, the Law Committee
What other plans the committee has is not something Xiuge can know now.
In the cold wind that blew, a faint black mist appeared on Xiuge's face and body.
As officials, if they can only eat and drink in the countries they visit, then the meaning of their existence is already worthy of being questioned.
For the vast majority of people, Salem City is a "not very important" city. They don't know the people in the city and have difficulty perceiving what is happening there.
However, Xiuge did not intend to go directly to "meet" them. He stood on the opposite side of the street with a blank gaze, pretending to be waiting for someone. However, the magic slowly started to turn, and the messenger in the mirror took effect at this moment.
.
Perception told Xiuge that these two guys had "peeped" in his direction more than once.
Although this revolver rifle was wrapped in cloth, people could still distinguish it from its appearance, which made the temperament exuded by Shuge somewhat unique. Some young women passing by could not help but look at him.
After taking a quick look, some newly arrived reporters were also attracted by Shuge's attire. Because he was carrying a crystal gun, they mistook Shuge for a reservist who was about to join the army.
At least at this moment, Xiuge could successfully see what was going on at the door of the store and could vaguely hear people talking.
It was obvious that these two guys were here for me.
After rejecting several inexplicable reporters who tried to conduct interviews, Xiuge and Weilin finally successfully left the Foreign Guests Avenue.
Looking at the pedestrians passing by, and then looking at the steam cars parked on the roadside, Xiuge suddenly felt as if he had entered the dream he had the night before, and seemed to have returned to the past, changing back to the person who went out every morning.
Ordinary office workers who come home late and are in a hurry.
Wei Lin shook her head: "However, I read some related books when I was studying healing magic. According to the records in these books, the Legal Committee has only performed three blockade rituals for specific towns in the past three hundred years.
, but this behavior is usually done to deal with large-scale magical diseases...the most typical one is the wolf plague."
Xiuge, on the other hand, stayed where he was.
In his understanding, this requirement does not seem to be fundamentally different from the signature of the thesis supervisor.
In fact, this is not the first time that the Adlon Hotel has been chosen as the venue for an important meeting, and this time, the weight of the meeting being held here is far greater than before.
A younger man said this. The glass bottle containing hot herbal drinks he held in his hand was obviously not enough to relieve the cold. He took a breath and then said: "If this standard of treating illegitimate children spreads, maybe it will
Some people will speculate that all the young people in the family are dead, so they are eager to look for illegitimate children."
The two men were sitting at a table diagonally below the billboard, so their voices were extremely clear.
"Shut up!"
"Well...all tutors can apply for their own students."
Xiuge dragged his thoughts back to reality and asked: "Miss Weilin, what are your plans next?"
However, in the past, Xiuge had never thought that when he stood in a daze under the streetlight, he would be accompanied by a person of the opposite sex of the same age.
Especially, the other party is preparing to go to war with his own country.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Wei Lin."
And coldness was Xiuge's first feeling after entering the mirror space.
They have been left hanging here for several days. The mages of Merlin Lehe are doing fine. At least there are spellcasting officials with corresponding status to receive them. However, the envoys of the Kingdom of Delan are a bit miserable. Although they can
I received very considerate hospitality in the hotel, but that was all.
With the enhanced senses brought by magic, Xiuge noticed that when he and Weilin arrived, two men in coats came to the hot drink shop. However, after they ordered the drinks, they
I did not choose the warm indoors, but stayed on the relatively cold outdoor table.
"There is a deviation from the conclusion I reached during the previous experiment... Hiss, the space of this mirror is not independent. It looks more like a real world that is closely related to the external environment."
It was a "herbal hot drink" shop that sold a type of herbal drink that was very popular in the plateau area. It was not much different from the street drink shop in Xiuge's memory.
What is even more anxious are the mage representatives sent by the Legal Committee and the envoys and diplomatic officials from the Kingdom of Delan.
"I don't quite understand why an illegitimate child deserves to be treated like this."
In his mind, there was another answer.
"Yes, I understand."
Many reporters have been waiting inside and outside the Adlon Hotel for a whole day. They are now eager to know what new developments the Walter Kingdom and its alliance partners have made after a full day of meetings.
decision making.
…
With the early morning bombardment on the 10th of Xuelinyue, more and more people gathered here.
Without thinking, Xiuge gave Weilin a positive answer.
Complaints are complaints, but the help brought by the ability of the Mirror Messenger is also clear and effective.
The middle-aged man cursed in a low voice, but did not refute the other party's judgments. It was obvious that he was a little confused and dissatisfied with the work he was currently doing.
He sighed, and then said: "I hope this 'writer' won't continue to stand on the side of the street blowing the wind. It would be better to settle down and write anything... Otherwise, we will never be able to change shifts. The one at my home
You are still waiting for me to go back for dinner."
Although Shuge always believed that he had no special feelings for Salem City and its residents, he still inevitably let out two helpless sighs when he made those pessimistic predictions.
The young man responded. He picked up the glass bottle and took two sips. Then he said comfortably: "Did you see it? What is he doing? It's like a lamp pole standing in the cold wind... Give it back to him
Mom is carrying a gun, hehe, it’s not a souvenir from the military camp, right?”
The illegitimate child who attracted attention was like an ordinary customer. He walked into the hot drink shop and quickly bought a bottle of herbal drink called "Tongshi Warm". After that, he hugged
He walked out with the glass bottle.
Then we arrived at the table diagonally below the billboard.
"It's very cold, gentlemen."
To the two bodyguards of the Ernst family who still stick to their posts in this kind of weather, Shuge expressed his sincere greetings: "The family should have arranged a vehicle nearby, right? If so, please send me back to the family manor now...
…Although I have no expectations, I still hope to be able to dine in my bedroom tonight.”
