Chapter 355 Tempting Scenery

There is no doubt that the word "magic" naturally has a strong derogatory connotation.

It's as if in words, a type of magic with the same status is given a negative label and roughly classified into the category of "evil".

However, this classification method actually does not have much problems.

The meaning contained in the word "witchcraft" is very rich and complex. At first glance, it seems to point directly to the concept of "evil", but in fact, words such as "mysterious", "weird" and "unpredictable" A series of other connotations are also hidden inside.

When these words are brought together, a unified concept is formed - "uncontrollable".

Shuge had heard similar views from Wei Lin when he had just met her. As a mage scholar who takes "wicked magic" as a subject, Wei Lin adheres to the principles of rigor and inquiry, and There is no way to avoid the hidden dangers and risks that "witchcraft" may bring because of your own preferences and choices.

For Merlinle and the mages who have always tried to use reason, logic and knowledge to tightly hold the power of magic in their hands, nothing is more disturbing than "uncontrollable".

This word is like an ink dot on a flawless piece of paper, or in other words, it is a conspicuous fallacy in a complete and beautiful magic formula. Its mere existence is enough to make many mages feel sick and nauseated.

However, the existence and establishment of "wicked magic" is an objective fact. Although some members of the Legal Committee have been trying to erase this existence as much as possible over the past thousands of years, it has always failed. It is to be able to survive with a strong attitude.

Now, magic scholars have come to an extremely delicate crossroads.

As Professor Weka asked, this time the Legal Committee must make a decision, whether they should put this dangerous and uncontrollable "sorcery magic" on the table as a way and tool to solve the current dilemma. discuss.

"You two don't have to rush to answer me, especially you, Miss Wei Lin..."

Although Professor Weka was talking about serious topics, he had a naughty smile on his face. He winked at Weilin: "I know that you have always been very interested in 'wicked magic', and you are indeed interested in it." A lot of achievements have been made above, but you have to understand that personal research topics are not the same concept as the general academic field."

"Mr. Ernst, you may be a little confused...Why are some people in the Emergency Office so hostile to you?"

Xiuge nodded: "Yes, the mage next to Professor Qiao An is very sensitive. When I mentioned the magical power outside the conventional field, I felt that he almost wanted to send me directly to hermitage. Went for torture."

Hearing Xiuge's words, Old Weka shook his head helplessly: "Hey, you young people are more tempered than the last. If this were in the past, let alone killing the sword-wielding hermit with your own hands, Just what you said just now is probably enough to put your name on the wanted poster forever... But times have indeed changed, and now, it would be a good thing to have more children like you."

"I'll just take your words as a compliment."

"Of course it's a compliment!"

Old Weka glared at Shuge unceremoniously: "Okay, let's go back to the previous topic... As one of the few people who understand and can use those powers at will, what do you think of this problem?"

Xiuge was silent for two seconds, and then he spoke at a slower pace: "I have always believed that the first step to solving a problem must be to understand the problem, and now, we can basically confirm that the so-called 'evil magic' and black The ancient powers that the Japanese Society controls and pursues are extremely closely related."

Having said this, Shuge glanced in the direction of Wei Lin: "Professor Weka, I am sure that if Ms. Wei Lin had not made progress on these ancient topics before, I am afraid that we would not be able to sit here at all now. Let’s have a good conversation… Maybe I have already fallen into the hands of the Black Sun Society, and everyone in Salem City will die silently.”

Hearing these words, a trace of shame flashed across the old mage's face.

As the senior official of the Legal Committee who paid the most attention to Salem City, he certainly knew how tragic and tragic the evacuation was, and he also knew very well the real role played by the Legal Committee in it.

He picked up the cup, took a strategic sip of tea, and then nodded: "So, Mr. Ernst believes that it is imperative to study 'wicked magic'?"

Weka glanced at Wei Lin: "I heard that Miss Wei Lin has visited several of her teachers before... I wonder if you have told Mr. Ernst about the current situation of some of them?"

Xiuge glanced at Weilin with some confusion, who pursed his lips, and then said: "After the black sun rose, Merlinle and a large number of internal mages have officially begun the research on 'evil magic' , my mentor is also among them...perhaps because the fragility of his spirit and soul has been severely damaged, or he has come into contact with some existence that may cause harm to himself during the research process. In short, he is crazy. , and he looks completely crazy.”

"He's not a special case."

Old Weka added: "In fact, in the past ten days, more than twenty mages have been traumatized and turned into lunatics and fools because of studying similar things, and some of them have no hope of recovery. Up to five people, the remaining ones can only lie on the hospital bed in the Healing Academy and drool, and we can't even restore the specific experience of their previous encounters."

"So... there will be a lot of resistance?"

"Very big, much bigger than you think."

Old Weka's tone became heavier: "Everyone knows that now we must find ways to fight against the Black Sun Society and beware of those terrible disasters, but no one wants to collapse their own side before trouble comes... Now, many people already believe that the study of "witchcraft" itself is a terrible trap. Once we really fall into this trap and become addicted to the power they bring, it won't be long before the Legal Committee The faith within will disappear – we will become a second Black Sun Order.”

…

When Merlin Lehe and other countries in Vann fell into a new round of panic due to the expansion of the Black Sun and the actions of the Dark Abyss Hounds, several important cities in the Kingdom of St. Steele invariably held grand celebrations. banquet.

As if the Black Sun Society wanted to slightly change its image in the eyes of ordinary people, the scale of the banquets they held were very exaggerated, and they were not aimed at those powerful people with a certain status - they directly occupied important squares in these cities and This place has been set up as a banquet place, and all citizens, regardless of gender, old or young, can participate.

Faced with the invitation issued by a notorious existence like the Black Sun Society, normal people would certainly not and would not dare to ignore it easily. Even if there are some residents of St. Steele who do not mind being invited by the Black Sun Society and the current royal family However, they still cherish their lives after all. The courage they possess is not enough to support them to take to the streets to enjoy a banquet with those strange and strange beings.

However, the Black Sun Society obviously would not allow the banquet it had carefully prepared to become empty, so the soldiers and guards who had turned to obey the orders of the Black Sun Society began to take action.

They knocked on the closed doors. Those who were willing to open the door were naturally treated with "gentleness", while those who were unwilling to open the door were directly unlocked by magic. In short, in less than half a day, the list of "voluntary" attendees at the banquet was gathered.

According to the requirements of the St. Steele royal family and the Black Sun Society, residents attending the banquet need to dress up as much as possible. Those who lack clothing can also report directly to the nearby society strongholds and members, who will provide support and help.

And when these terrified citizens, who were almost crying, asked the guards what the Black Sun Society needed them to do, the guards just told them to just enjoy the banquet in peace.

In this way, the banquet started in the afternoon and continued until the evening.

And when those citizens who were dressed in costumes but full of fear and panic walked out of their homes, they discovered that the huge black sun mysteries erected on the streets and intersections seemed to have changed their appearance again, and the mysterious and deep black light erupted from them. The tops of these sculptures are constantly emanating.

These rays of light seem to have a tangible form. They continue to float over the city and connect into one. The strange thing is that these rays of light do not block people's sight - they are like semi-transparent objects. Black film, when people look up to the sky, their sight can always easily penetrate these brilliance.

Someone boldly glanced at the black sun, and then he was surprised to find that through the black "film", the terrifying and gloomy black sun actually changed its appearance.

The huge black shadow that originally occupied a corner of the sky now had exact shapes and lines. The citizen who raised his head found that he actually saw a very clear and distinct black eye in the sky.

This huge eye is frightening. The moment they see it, the citizens only feel that the sky that protects Vann is being torn open, and a terrifying monster or giant that is as big as the entire world is tearing its own He pressed his eyes against the crack and peered inside.

However, in the next moment, another strange emotion surged up.

The eye with the complicated pattern that was constantly rotating seemed to blink slightly, so the ordinary person was stunned on the spot. He looked at the eye in the sky stupidly, feeling that it did not seem to be the same. It's not that scary, but full of an extremely charming charm.

Those twisting black lines were as pure as black gems, and the circles of patterns were more regular than the decorations on the most exquisite sculptures he had ever seen. In a daze, he even felt like He saw a graceful girl with a blurred face and a black tulle. She was leading him slowly towards the deepest part of the alluring darkness.

A huge and extremely luxurious palace appeared in front of him inexplicably. Just like the girl in front of him, everything inside and outside the palace was so exquisite and beautiful, but there was no way to describe it in words. , and cannot keep them in their own memories.

Those strange edges, lines, and walls are intertwined in the chaos. Waiters carrying various utensils and wearing gorgeous black uniforms are walking around. Their postures are so tall and their steps are so steady, and occasionally The few dogs that followed them looked extremely majestic...

In this way, the girl draped in tulle led her guests forward. Her steps were extremely light, and she even let out a soul-stirring whisper as she walked, which made people think...

However, just when this "brave man" was about to be taken to the deepest part of the palace to share a private time with this mysterious girl, a push from the real world woke him up.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Stop staring at the sky!"

The man lowered his head blankly, only to see his wife looking at him nervously. She looked around to make sure that no guards from the Black Sun Society were eavesdropping on her conversation, and then she lowered her voice and said, "I heard People outside said that the black sun cannot be looked at casually, as it might bring disaster..."

"Ah...ah."

The man finally broke free from the previous illusion. However, the moment he fully woke up, he felt an extremely strong sense of loss. He felt that as long as he gave himself a little more time, he might be able to step into the secret place.

This is really extremely regrettable.

After regret and loss, strong desire and curiosity follow.

But now, he couldn't help but look up at the sky again. He could only suppress his impulse and reluctantly walked forward along the street.

Soon, they came to the square where the Black Sun Society held a banquet. The moment he saw the square, the man was stunned because he saw that in the carefully decorated square, among those placed Beside the neat banquet table, there were some translucent black human figures moving around.

He recognized these human forms.

He had only seen these waiters during the inexplicable hallucination just now, but now the waiters in front of him seemed to be thinner. Although the outline of the dress could be vaguely seen on the body made of black mist, they looked... A little bit crude.

However, for him who had just witnessed a miracle full of temptations, such a gap seemed a little less important, because it seemed to prove one thing, that is, what he just saw was not a meaningless illusion.

That alluring figure, that mysterious palace... all of these are probably real.
