The sun is high

In Sally's mind, the so-called "meeting" is a word that is very, very far away from her.

In the past, when she was a bartender in a tavern, she could often hear related words from the guests who liked to talk about current affairs. Sometimes it was the officials in the city holding a meeting, and sometimes it was... It was the scholars from Merlin Lehe who held some kind of meeting, and sometimes it was the royal family and senior officials of a certain country who gathered together for some kind of meeting.

Therefore, she instinctively believed that this activity had nothing to do with her.

As for the kind of conversations she participated in from time to time in school and the military, initiated by a few or a dozen people, they were more like general discussions and different from the meetings she knew.

But now, a venue that looked a bit rough but was quite large appeared in front of her, and the attendees in the venue surprised her even more.

Officials and mages naturally existed, but they only accounted for a small part of them. In addition, Sally also saw scholars dressed similarly to her teacher, goblins dressed as businessmen, and elves dressed in the costumes of plain nobles. .

In addition, there are fishermen with pipes in their hands, tall and strong farmers with tanned skin, and workshop owners wearing the badges of certain associations.

"ah……"

There were too many people, which made Sally feel a little nervous. She looked around secretly, and then found that in a corner of the venue, there was a group of people of similar age to her, dressed as college students. The clothes on their bodies showed that these young student participants came from different colleges in different countries, and beside them stood a group of college teachers who were also communicating and discussing.

Sally was confused.

After all, based on her own knowledge and experience, the so-called "meeting" should have basically nothing to do with a certain group of people in the venue, especially fishermen, farmers, and those with rolled-up sleeves and simple clothes. Workshop workers and crystal mine miners who, although they clean themselves very well, still feel dusty...

However, Sally thought about it carefully and found that she did not seem to be included in the traditional "meeting" category, so she quickly calmed down. Although her eyes were still full of curiosity, she did not express any opinions. He just followed his teacher quietly and walked towards a certain direction of the venue.

Meyer is low-key, and there is not much about his appearance. He looks like an ordinary individual walking among these various people, but Sally is different. She seems to be born with it. A kind of eye-catching brilliance attracted the attention of many people the moment he entered the venue, so soon, someone shouted.

"Frey Meyer! Meyer! Please come here!"

At this time, Professor Meyer could no longer keep a low profile. He glanced sideways at the students following him. Seeing that Sally seemed to be blushing, he smiled helplessly, and then Meyer raised his hand. , and waved twice in the direction where his name was called.

The two people quickly arrived at the place where the shout came from. It was very close to the podium. Two seats had been vacant for a long time, and the person who had just shouted was sitting next to the two empty chairs.

This is a man wearing a single-sided glasses, with messy hair, about the same age as Meyer. He seems very serious at first glance, but he has a warm smile on his face, rigorous and arrogant, passionate and restrained... …These seemingly contradictory words can actually achieve perfect fusion in him.

The man stood up, Meyer took off his hat, and they gave each other a firm hug.

Sally looked at the strange man, and her eyes naturally caught his attention. So the man looked over immediately after ending the hug with Meyer. The moment his eyes came into contact, Sally Li's body couldn't help but tremble.

She felt that the other person's gaze was like two sharp and cold knives. It was hidden under that passionate face, making people unable to help but retreat.

But the next moment, the man restrained his gaze. He stepped back slightly, invited Meyer and Sally to sit down, and then asked with a smile: "Your student?"

"Ha, yes, my student!"

Meyer turned to look at Sally, and then laughed happily: "She is a smart and kind girl, and she is very strong. She is one of the very few who escaped from Salem City."

"amazing!"

The man sitting next to Meyer nodded seriously, then he put his palm on his chest and introduced himself to Sally: "My name is Daswell, and I am a friend of your teacher Meyer. We already knew each other when we were in St. Steele, and we still had some different opinions at that time, but now, we have finally become comrades-in-arms."

Sally was still a little nervous, and she asked in confusion: "You mean comrade-in-arms?"

"Yes, comrade..."

The man who called himself "Daswell" smiled again. He glanced at the entire venue with eager eyes and said seriously: "Everyone who came here, and there are more people who didn't come here, they will all become Our comrades."

After speaking, he looked at Meyer: "It seems that you haven't introduced the specific situation to your students?"

"You are too anxious, Daswell."

Meyer smiled and shook his head: "She is still young, just like other young people who believe in us and join us... So I think what she needs now is not the opinions and explanations I gave, but the Observe with your own eyes and draw your own opinions and conclusions.”

Daswell was obviously a little helpless. He shook his head and smiled: "Okay, okay, you are still the same as before."

"But it's important, isn't it?"

Meyer put his hat on his legs. He observed the people in the temporary meeting with the same eager eyes, and then he said: "We have also confirmed in the past period that they have To be able to understand all this, only by truly understanding the predicament we are facing, understanding the approaching threat and the identity of the enemy, can people truly make up their mind to fight the threat, this is the basis."

"Yes, I agree."

Daswell nodded slightly, and then he sighed: "It's a pity that Markham is entangled. He has no way to come here. If he sees that his efforts over the years have brought about such huge results, he will definitely smile from ear to ear. Mouth."

"Ha, that's not necessarily the case."

Meyer joked: "Based on what I know about Markham, he probably clapped his hands with joy when the flames were collected and burned by the furious St. Steele royal family. That was exactly the result he wanted. , these guys are scared!"

After saying that, the two people who had obviously not seen each other for a long time laughed at the same time, and their voices blended into the warm atmosphere of the venue, making everything more harmonious.

At this moment, the elf wearing plains noble attire that Sally had paid attention to before walked towards the podium. He stood in the middle of the podium and clapped his hands gently.

This elf obviously has the identity of a spell caster. Although his clapping movements were slight, the sound he made was extremely loud, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

So the people in the venue immediately became quiet.

Seeing that no one was speaking anymore, the elf mage coughed twice. Then he slightly adjusted the magic loudspeaker erected on the podium. After confirming that there was no problem, he turned to Meyer and Das. Weir nodded in the direction.

So Daswell stood up slightly and whispered to Meyer: "I'm going up."

"Go ahead, Daswell, I haven't listened to your speech for a long time."

Meyer smiled and patted his old friend twice on the back, so Daswell immediately tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards the podium amidst a burst of applause. When he stood in the middle of the podium, The entire venue was once again enveloped in a warm atmosphere, and Daswell was like a straight lamp pole. He stood under the light, standing in the middle of the podium, his razor-sharp gaze sweeping across the entire venue. Then he raised his hand and made a "quiet" gesture.

Afterwards, this man with a unique temperament said to the people in the venue: "Although the current situation is extremely serious, I am still very happy to see you here."

Daswell did not say too much, he immediately entered the important topic of this meeting.

"Everyone must have understood that today, our world is on the edge of extreme danger, just like a blindfolded person walking on the edge of a steep sea cliff. Although we have passed a series of Through hard work, the earplugs in the man's ears have been removed, allowing him to hear the sound of the waves under the cliff, but he still can't find the direction, and he may still step into death."

"And this is why we are gathered here today."

Daswell's voice was sonorous and powerful. He was obviously a superb speaker who knew how to arouse the emotions of the audience. As he finished speaking, people spontaneously began to applaud again, so Daswell raised his hand again and said The applause was pressed.

He continued: "Our conference is different from those events in any college, organization or country that get the attention of newspapers and reporters. It exists to solve real problems, and I mean not only solve the problems we are dealing with." problems we face, while also solving our own problems.”

"How should we define ourselves, what should we do, how should we do it, and the question that everyone may be most concerned about - what kind of enemies are we facing!"

Daswell's opening remarks came to an end quickly, and he continued: "I have seen a lot of faces that I know very well. You all knew me many years ago when we were working for St. Steele's Miners. We ran and worked hard, and as time progressed and the environment changed, our goals and ideals also expanded...Now we finally realize what kind of terrible shadow is hidden behind the pain and torture."

"Black Sun Society!"

Someone in the venue shouted, and Sally looked over in surprise, only to see that it was a rough-looking man. Judging from his accent, he should be a St. Steele man.

Daswell nodded towards the man, and then he continued: "That's right, the Black Sun Society... but is the Black Sun Society the whole threat we have to face? I don't think so. If Just looking at the surface, they are actually no different from those careerists who tried to control one or more countries and interfere in the world's political situation in the past history. But if we go deeper into the essence, we will reveal a story that almost everyone does not want to face. fact."

"What they are pursuing is an ancient power that completely subverts our knowledge, a lost god that will completely destroy the rules of the world and society, and a terrifying era that will completely destroy all civilizations in Van En."

"I know that everyone here will not easily believe the things we stated in the Fire News, but there are various signs that the ancient prophecy that the Black Sun Society has always believed in is coming true step by step."

Having said this, the elf mage standing aside lightly snapped his fingers, and behind Daswell, a huge magic curtain descended, and then an image based on magic was projected onto the curtain.

Later, Sally saw many pictures from different places in one of them.

She first saw the sea outside the Green Harbor. This magical image recorded a very strange-looking wave. Under the circumstances of no wind and clear weather, an astonishing huge wave appeared inexplicably, and in this huge wave Driven by others, many fish jumped out of the water in panic, and a fishing boat that seemed to be relatively solid capsized in an instant.

"This is the strange wave that appeared outside the Emerald Harbor fifteen days ago. It even destroyed the secret monitoring system set up by the council in the coastal area."

After Daswell finished explaining, the scene changed quickly, and then Sally couldn't help clenching her fists because she saw the city of Salem that she was very familiar with. If she could, she would like to ask the person who recorded the magic The person in the picture looks closer so that she can further confirm the situation of this isolated city, but the visual center of the picture is always placed on the sky.

Just when Sally was a little confused, a brightly colored magic warning suddenly rose from the city. However, strangely, when this magic light rose to the sky, it suddenly shook as if it had suffered some violent impact. After two clicks, it exploded in the air, and the floating magic smoke was completely torn into irregular fragments as if it had been slapped twice by an invisible hand.
