Chapter 360 Black Arc of Light

After ending the dealings that even Xiuge was a little bored with, this special conversation finally entered the truly important topic.

As Xiuge had guessed before, these deep-sea level mages were already aware of the strange situation that occurred in the territory of St. Steele.

Although according to the explicit regulations, the scope of activities of these big figures is often limited to the "academic field", like Yetvich of the Cedar Scholars Tower Group and Edmund in front of Shuge, these Mages always have one way or another to expand their influence, or actively participate in those affairs.

After a previous conversation, Shuge was basically certain that Edmund should actually be the representative of the relatively conservative and cautious members of the Legal Committee. Then, Mrs. Delali on the side also generously revealed her Some of my own "extra identities".

As a deep-sea mage, Mrs. Delali has an extremely strong preference and interest in business, especially the family business group. After her academic research stagnated, she focused more on the operation of the family business. .

In this process, she relied on her own skills and the support of her family's resources to successfully become the actual controller behind several giant business groups, and these business groups in turn became Mrs. Delali's method to expand her horizons and obtain Tools for more information and intelligence.

And when Mrs. Delali finished this simple self-introduction, the original mage aura that was not distinctive about her body was suppressed by the rich and typical aristocratic temperament.

"It is basically certain that the ceremony held by the Black Sun Society was just the beginning of their next series of actions."

Mrs. Delali raised her hand and used magic power to control the huge crystal ball that could project magical images. At the same time, she explained: "At the end of the war, several of my business groups had successfully Entered the territory of St. Steele and actively contacted the Black Sun Society."

"Although the people in the Black Sun Society are crazy, they are not stupid people. At least for now, they are very aware of the importance of business and transactions in maintaining their rule. Therefore, these business groups of mine have also obtained their Permission...but out of caution, some people in the business group did not follow them into the city, so they successfully recorded these scenes."

Following her words, images from distant areas appeared in the huge Eye of Mel crystal ball.

Shuge had heard about this special method of transmitting magical images - the images were captured by an expensive magical secret device disguised as newspaper equipment. After that, multiple specialized casters quickly transferred the magical images themselves. Split into simple magical fragments, these fragments are then transmitted through the regular communication arcana.

After successfully obtaining the fragments, the caster needs to reassemble these "parts" himself.

It can be said that it is a special method that is time-consuming, laborious and expensive.

It's just that these terrible restrictions are obviously nothing in front of Mrs. Delali. With the light shaking of her fingers, those tiny magic fragments have been accurately woven into the crystal ball from St. Steele. A clear picture of the territory.

The person who recorded the picture was obviously in the mountains near a certain city in St. Steele.

The weather in St. Steele was as cold as in Merlin-Leho, so the scene initially shivered with the recorder, a tremor that finally subsided after the recorder secured the device.

Xiuge saw that there was white snow everywhere around him, and in the distance, there was a darkness that was so dense that it was disturbing.

Those black shadows were the dark domes that had previously shrouded the major St. Steele cities. However, from the outside, they looked more like a layer of terrifying dark clouds pressing directly over the cities, or... a bed cover. The black sheets above the heads of the residents.

"The record lasted for several hours. We have looked at it carefully here before... Young people are always anxious, so I will directly show the two most important parts."

As she spoke, Mrs. Delali quickly shook her palm, and as the magic lines changed, the scene in the huge crystal ball also began to accelerate.

In the picture that was several times faster than before, Xiuge saw that the black shadows gathered over the city finally turned into a deep shell that isolated the inside and outside, making it completely impossible to peek. On the surface of these shells, it was vaguely possible to I saw some tiny spike-like protrusions.

Xiuge couldn't help but frown. Based on his knowledge of the Black Sun Society and the Dark Abyss Palace, he judged that these strange protrusions were probably not that simple. It was just because there were many deep-sea level mages around him. It was not easy for him to reveal his true power directly, so he only used a small amount of cold magic power in his eyes.

With this meager magical vision, Xiuge successfully glimpsed the reality hidden in the image.

He saw countless lines, countless black, spiral lines extending from the spiked protrusions of the dark domes. They continued to extend toward the sky, looking like they were drawn from the real world. The sky, and even the black chains hanging down from higher up.

In the images that had been accelerated by magic, Xiuge could see that there was a continuous flow of rich dark abyss power along these spiral chains. They were continuously injected into the interior of the huge dome, and in response, there were some A pale, opalescent glow travels up these chains.

"..."

Xiuge wanted to further observe these phenomena, but before he could take any further action, a slight tingling sensation came from deep in his eyes. Not only that, he had been very calm when facing the magic detection of the deep sea level mage. The metal disc also trembled slightly, and the roots of destiny, which were extremely sensitive to these crises, quickly got out of their own mental pool and trembled rapidly.

This is obviously a warning.

Warning all round.

So Xiuge immediately controlled the urge to use more Dark Abyss magic. In order to ensure safety as much as possible, he even actively reduced the magic power in his eyes.

The weird tingling sensation disappeared immediately, as if it had never existed, but the turmoil in the spiritual realm reminded Xiuge all the time. If he didn't want to show the tragic scene of bleeding eyes in front of these deep-sea level mages, then It's better to err on the side of caution.

"You look uncomfortable?"

The fat elf asked kindly, and his lean brother added in time: "Is it because he thinks of the city of Salem or the rugged hills? Well, there is indeed a relationship between them. Something in common.”

Xiuge nodded gently and expressed his gratitude to the two elves for their concern. At the same time, he also had a strange feeling - when the two elf mages looked at him, there seemed to be something in their eyes. The special thing, the dark abyss magic power hidden under his eyes, seemed to have not escaped their detection.

However, the pair of deep-sea level twin elf mages didn't say anything more.

Then the picture in the crystal ball began a new round of changes.

As more and more Dark Abyss magic power was transported from the sky, the dark dome gradually showed those strange lines that Xiuge had seen many times. They kept appearing, disappearing, or colliding with each other, Fusion.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ernst, we will keep detailed records of these lines. People who are waiting to study them may already be queuing up in Meiringle."

Edmund explained in a timely manner, and then he pointed at the crystal ball and said: "At this stage, no matter what country or organization, all secret agents and spies hidden in these cities have lost contact."

Shuge asked: "Is the secret ritual communication isolated or cut off?"

"No, it's not."

Edmund shook his head and said: "We all thought this was the case at first. After all, these black round covers looked very deceptive, but after our reverse inspection, we found that the secret devices used to connect the two sections were in good condition. , the connection between them is still intact...that is to say, the problem is not the secret ritual, but those who operate the secret ritual."

"Either dead or very close to death."

"If they are captured alive or controlled, the situation will be even worse and may even cause a chain reaction."

The two elf mages gave their own judgments. Faced with this serious topic, they finally restrained themselves from the relaxed state before. The lean elf looked at Shuge: "In order to maintain concealment, the Legal Committee is in the Holy Land." Many contact points in Steele are set up in the territory of the mountain elves tribe, but now, these hidden strongholds may be discovered at any time."

Shuge nodded, and then he looked at Edmund: "I can completely understand the seriousness of this matter. It is likely to completely destroy our access to intelligence in Saint Steele, but in terms of these things , I’m afraid the help I can provide is very limited, right?”

"So far, that's true."

Mrs. Delali nodded and said: "But don't worry, keep reading... you may be able to know what we think if you keep reading."

So the picture began to change again. Under the control of Mrs. Delali, the speed of the magic images became faster. With the thin magic vision, Xiuge saw more and more milky white lights and shadows being covered by those black spiral chains. It was extracted, and as this process continued to advance, those black domes that originally only shrouded the city seemed to have begun a new round of growth and expansion.

Yes, they got bigger.

Although the growth rate is very, very slow, Xiuge can be sure that its coverage is definitely slightly larger than at the beginning.

"Attention, it's coming."

At this moment, Mrs. Delali suddenly reminded her, and the accelerating magic picture returned to a calm and slow speed. Xiuge raised his eyebrows. He did not see any obvious signs or changes in the picture, and was about to speak. Asked, the picture shook violently.

"Is there something wrong with the recording instrument?"

This idea popped into Xiuge's mind, but the next moment, the colors that appeared in the crystal ball made his eyes widen.

The tremor did not come from the instrument that recorded the picture, but from the reality that was recorded - a violent impact swept along the surface of the earth. Xiuge saw that the relatively loose snow particles in the picture were scattered under the impact. The dead branches were flying and turned into pieces on the spot. Xiuge even heard the frightened exclamation from the recorder.

There was no foreshadowing, no warning.

This invisible force suddenly appeared like this. In almost the blink of an eye, it transformed from the invisible lines into a tangible color.

Xiuge's mouth opened subconsciously, because he saw an extremely huge black arc of light that almost traversed the entire screen. It looked like a huge blade that was swung with force, and it fell directly towards The huge dome that enveloped the entire city.

At first glance, the color and nature of this arc of light seemed to be very similar to the dark abyss magic mobilized by the Black Sun Society, but in Shuge's eyes, it inexplicably revealed a somewhat familiar feeling.

The collision just happened.

The arc of pure black hit the dark dome hard, and countless black chains connecting the dome broke on the spot. The dome, which originally had no gaps or leaks, was shattered by this violent impact. It cracked directly under the impact, and Xiuge even saw a towering northern bell tower collapse as a result.

Then, in just ten seconds, all the magical colors in the picture began to fade away, and the black arc of light that destroyed the ceremony disappeared out of thin air as if it had never appeared before, and that full of dark meaning The magic circle also collapsed and dissipated just as quickly, leaving only a thick layer of black clouds and mist still lingering over the city.

No matter what the Black Sun Society wants to do, their plans in this city have definitely come to nothing.

But in the distance, there are more dark domes that are growing and expanding.

A somewhat outrageous but reasonable guess emerged in Xiuge's mind, so he expected to see the arc of light appear again and destroy more domes. However, until the image ended, nothing appeared on the screen again. New changes.

The mages present did not know how many times they had watched this video, but their faces still could not keep calm at this time. Edmund forcibly withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiuge: "It's amazing, isn't it? ?”

Xiuge nodded, the shock on his face was very real: "What is that? Magic? Or..."

"have no idea."

Wizard Edmund shook his head: "We only know two things."

"First, this city that luckily escaped from the Black Sun Society's ritual is located in the border area of ​​St. Steele. Controlling it is equivalent to controlling all the important passages around it."

"Second, that black light... it is not any kind of magic we know, and it can never be produced by any kind of weapon, but it has already appeared once, in the previous Cedar Scholar Towers .”
