Chapter 316 The Night of the Holy Coming

After simply solving this matter, Avis returned to his previous peaceful daily life.

In addition to paying attention to the situation of Bishop Yanile every day, he was waiting for the Duke to finish dealing with the power dragon.

Soon, as the magic dinner of the Pamir Academy's year-end celebration quietly ended, the last tail of this year was about to disappear.

It was less than one magic hour before midnight. After sending Fiona back, Avis returned to his residence and habitually sensed Yanile's movements.

However, as soon as he sensed Yanile's position, he immediately found the problem.

Before that, the position of the twisted seed on Yanile's body was always at the border between the two empires of Gloria and Saint Messia, as if waiting for something.

And now, Yanile's position suddenly appeared near the ruins in Magna Province.

After thinking about it, Avis took out the encrypted crystal ball and sent a message to Duke Carrot.

"I suddenly have a feeling that the location of the meteorite ruins may be about to undergo an unknown change, please be vigilant!"

After urgently delivering the message, Avis put away the crystal ball again, thought about it, and decided to take the risk of connecting the seed on Yanile.

Now is a very delicate time point, the old year is about to end, and the new year is about to come.

At this time of transition between the old and the new, the success rate of some special secret rituals will receive an additional bonus, which is something that has been confirmed in mysticism.

Avis suspected that the rituals on Yanile and the other seven people may not be completely completed, but are still lacking some key activation steps.

If the facts are indeed as he thought, then the most likely time for this activation step is the zero o'clock of the new year.

After making a decision, Avis directly entered a meditative state and began to try to connect Yanile's perspective through the twisted seed.

Gradually, Avis's consciousness entered a highly condensed state. Some blurred images began to appear in front of his eyes one after another.

There were some black figures swaying around, and as time went on, these figures gradually became clearer.

At this time, the surrounding environment was in a secret room.

The walls were covered with special isolation magic inscriptions to prevent the breath here from leaking out.

There were 7,777 pure white candles on the ground, forming a huge pattern of the Holy Emblem of Light. A huge seven-pointed star pattern composed of platinum inscription lines was engraved on the ground in the center of the candles.

There was a strange hourglass in the center of the star, and the sand above it was emitting a faint white light, and more than half of it had fallen at this time.

Including Yanile, seven bishops stood at the seven sharp corners of the star, bowing their heads silently, as if waiting for something.

On one side of the room, three red-robed archbishops stood calmly, observing the ceremony.

No one spoke, and the air in the room was silent. Countless candles flickered with flickering milky white light, filling the room with a strange and solemn atmosphere.

The time at this moment was infinitely close to midnight, and the sand in the hourglass was about to run out.

Finally, in Anvis's eyes, the last grain of white light leaked down.

At this moment, the many milky white candle flames that were jumping suddenly stopped for a moment——

Then, a bright white light burst out from the star on the ground!

Just like a raging fire igniting dry wood, when the light touched the seven bishops standing in the sharp corners of the star, endless light suddenly lit up the bodies of the seven bishops, turning them directly into a dazzling gathering of light!

Anweisi only felt that the world in front of him turned white in an instant, and then the picture was completely interrupted.

.

….….

As the last second of last year passed, the calendar turned a page again. The people of Yar Continent ushered in the New Year's Rebirth Festival.

However, this year's New Year's Festival is destined to be not peaceful.

In the 2461st year of the Glorious Calendar, the first day of the New Year, at midnight.

Many sensational events broke out simultaneously in the Gloria Empire.

In the Magna Province, at the location where the mysterious meteorite ruins fell, a beam of pure white brilliant light pierced the night sky and pierced the ceiling wall in the endless sky.

Professionals within a thousand miles can clearly see this beam of brilliant light that seems like a miracle.

Faint white light spots like fine snow fell from the dark night sky, and ethereal sacred music echoed in all directions, but if you listen carefully, you will find that this music seems to be directly from the mind.

Half a magic hour after the light column descended, the Gloria Empire announced that it had entered the second-level combat readiness state.

Because the characteristics of this incident were too obvious, Gloria III publicly issued a statement, demanding that the Holy Light Church give an explanation for the previous indiscriminate attack.

Soon, the Saint Messiah Empire also responded to this matter.

In this response, the current Holy Light Church Pope, Saint Messiah III, described this incident as a "regrettable accident" and did not mention the explanation of this matter.

In response to the Church's perfunctory attitude, Gloria III made only one response, sending several ninth-level and ninth-level extreme professionals to the border of the two countries.

The Holy Light Church was not to be outdone, and also sent four ninth-level extreme red-robed archbishops and five ninth-level judgement knights to the border to confront the ninth-level professionals of the Empire.

The situation between the two empires became extremely tense in an instant, and it seemed that a devastating war would break out at any time.

In this situation where the energy of the two empires was temporarily tied to each other, a "civilian" underground resistance organization [Spark] suddenly emerged and announced its existence to the entire empire in a high-profile manner.

And quickly captured two super-large main cities with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands, Yueying City and Luolong City, located in Frey Province, close to the border of Karlas Province.

The original seventh-level professional city lord was directly captured by the [Spark] organization.

Although it was expected that the empire should not be able to react at first in the case of unintentional calculations, and it would not be in time to send people to deal with them in the first place.

But to be honest, the fact that the two cities were broken through in succession at an average speed of less than half a magic hour shocked even the leader of the Spark organization himself, and he suspected whether it was a fraud.

However, when the rebels took over the city and checked the defense array, they found that.

The original magic defense array of the city, many of the inscription lines of the materials have long been aged, and it is already the limit to maintain normal startup, and it is simply unable to cope with fierce battles.

As for where the maintenance fee that should have been used to maintain the defense array went, those who understand will understand.

After all, even if it is a city defense officer, when he needs training resources, he has to spend money.

So it is reasonable to "borrow" some city defense funds, right?

You said that without funds for maintenance, the defense system will age quickly?

Anyway, there will be no war in the empire. If we only deal with the beast tide every year, as long as the defense array still looks bright, isn't it enough?
