Chapter 448: Heaven's Fall

The airship landed slowly at Moya Castle. Before the airship could stop, Heisuo anxiously opened the hatch and walked down in a hurry.

Due to the work of the Chamber of Commerce, he had to inspect everywhere, so when he received Pope Andre's letter, there were only ten days left before the deadline requested by the other party.

He immediately got on the airship and rushed here from the Arathi Kingdom non-stop, leaving him only two days at most for negotiation.

Within two days, he must negotiate a result, and then use the fastest airship to return to the church's secret base in person in order to send the message back before the night of the red moon.

Butler Lord came up, cupped his hands and said:

"Lord Heisuo, we meet again."

He was curious in his heart. The other party had just come here more than ten days ago, and now he came again with a hurried look like he was about to be chased by a vicious dog. He didn't know what was going on.

"Hello butler, I have something important to discuss with Mr. Crown. Please let me know, butler."

"Your Excellency came at a bad time. Yesterday, the Bishop ordered the Silver Dawn Guards to seal off the main castle of the manor, prohibiting anyone from entering."

"Ah?!" Heisuo was stunned and asked hurriedly:

"What happened?"

Lord shook his head, "The bishop didn't say, but no one is allowed to enter.

Now the bishop's beast tamer Fujin is guarding the sky above the main castle, and Arcturus is guarding the main entrance of the main castle. Together with the patrolling members of the Silver Dawn, no flies can enter the main castle. "

"I am bringing His Majesty Andre's secret message and requesting Mr. Butler to inform me. The matter is very urgent and cannot wait!"

Heisuo bowed deeply and bent his body at a right angle.

"Your Excellency, get up quickly, I don't deserve such a courtesy from you," Lord hurriedly helped him and said with a wry smile:

"It's not that I don't help you, it's just that I'm powerless.

I don't know the reason why the bishop did this, but I know that even if the wife comes back now, she will not be allowed to enter the main castle. "

The housekeeper unconsciously recalled the serious expression on the bishop's face at that time, and the words he said in a decisive tone: 'Seal the main castle and no one is allowed to enter until I lift the ban!

Even if the sky is falling and I don’t show up to announce the disbandment, the lockdown will remain in place. ’

He had never seen the bishop look so serious, and of course he did not dare to violate the prohibition.

Although the bishop did not say there would be penalties for violations, he knew it would be serious.

"Mr. Lord, my matter is really urgent. Otherwise, please shout outside the main castle and tell me that I am asking to see the bishop with His Majesty Andre's urgent letter.

Regardless of whether the bishop is willing to see me or not, I am extremely grateful. Heso will remember your kindness. "

As he said that, Heizui took out a delicate little cloth bag from the space ring, weighed it and put it into the butler's arms:

"It's a small thing, not a sign of respect. No matter what the outcome is, it was a big help."

Hearing the crisp "ding" sound coming from the bag, Lord understood that it contained gold spirit coins.

From the size and dryness of the bag, he could deduce that there would be no less than a hundred gold spirit coins inside.

He didn't take the bag, but pushed it back:

"Sir, I'm sorry. There is a restricted area within 100 meters of the main castle. I really can't help you."

Heisuo grabbed his thin hair and said anxiously:

"You just said that Madam is not in the castle. Where has she been? When will she come back?"

Since the real owner couldn't see it, he could only use roundabout means to solve the problem. In addition, he thought that maybe Elisa could also make the decision on the magic circle, although the chance was slim.

"Last time you left Moya Castle, Madam left. I don't know exactly where she went, and I don't even know the date of her return."

Lord shook his head and said, of course he knew where the mistress had gone, but why should he tell outsiders? !

Heisuo was dumbfounded and froze on the spot.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and said with a wry smile:

"Mr. Butler, can you arrange for someone to take me to the location of the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce? I will wait for two days.

If it would be better to wait until the Bishop or Madam, please remember to let me know.

If I can't wait, I will go back and report to Your Majesty. "

After saying that, he still handed over the bag containing the gold spirit coins: "Your Excellency, please don't refuse."

"I agreed to this," Lord nodded slightly.

Two days later, Heisuo left with a lonely look. In the end, he still didn't meet the person he wanted to see.

The sky is covered with sunset, and in the distance a row of gray geese are flying forward in a "human" shape.

Andy walked into the observation room of the airship with small steps, bowed slightly and said:

"Madam, I just asked the airship captain that we will arrive at Hamers City in two days at most."

"Well, okay, I can't wait to get home."

Eliza smiled and nodded, and then said: "In total, we have only been away from home for a month and five days. I don't know why, but I really miss the hanging basket at home where I can sit on it and watch the sunset, and the deck chair where I can look up at the stars."

Counting the two days expected by the airship captain, the trip from Hamers to the Kingdom of Potamia took about twenty days.

It took thirteen days to build four Moon Soul Spiritual Light Arrays and a Sun and Moon Altar, two days of socializing in the Kingdom of Potamia, and she was away from Moya Castle for a full thirty-five days.

Freya quipped: "It's not just hanging baskets and deck chairs that you miss, right?"

"You're looking for a fight," Eliza deliberately made a serious face and raised her pink fist.

The two of them played together like children, and the viewing room was filled with laughter. Andy stepped aside and lowered his head to suppress his laughter.

"Yeah, yeah," someone coughed twice outside the door.

Eliza stopped playing and said, "Please come in."

A guard came in, bowed slightly and said:

"Madam, it will be dark soon. The airship captain asked me to close the windows here and prepare to open the magic circle to resist the gray fog.

Tonight is the night of the red moon, and we must take precautions."

"Okay," nodded slightly, Eliza turned around and said:

"Let's go, let's go enjoy dinner."

The guard immediately stood aside and made way.

After the few people left, the guard went to close the window. He saw the blood-red sunset and frowned slightly:

"Strange, why do I have an ominous premonition."

"Hehe," he laughed, ignored this inexplicable intuition, and closed the window.

Soon after, the gray fog swallowed up the last rays of the sun, and a layer of frost soon condensed on the skin of the airship flying at low altitude.

Airship Captain Renekton keenly noticed the changes in the airship, and his eyebrows immediately knitted together.

He had performed many night flight missions and had rich experience.

In late autumn, the airship should not have ice when flying at an altitude of 300 meters above the ground. Today's abnormality made him alert.

The airship cannot be left alone when it freezes, otherwise as the ice layer continues to thicken, it will greatly affect the speed of the airship, and even worse, it may cause the airship to crash.

The airship captain immediately activated the de-icing magic circle, and the ice covering the skin quickly melted.

He watched the energy reserve in the airship decrease at a rate twice as fast as normal, and his vigilance increased a few points.

Renekton stood up from his seat and said to his assistant:

"I'll be out for a while. You observe the status of the airship carefully. If there is still ice on the skin, remember to remove it."

"Okay, Captain," the assistant gladly accepted the order. He was very happy to have the opportunity to fly the airship alone.

Renekton walked out of the cockpit, entered the restaurant and found Eliza, then bowed and said:

"Madam, the airship has encountered some minor problems. I decided to terminate the flight tonight and find a sheltered area to hover."

There is no city within hundreds of kilometers nearby to dock. The airship is currently flying in the wild. According to the safety operation rules, it is absolutely not allowed to dock directly in the wild.

If they encounter powerful monsters or demons, the airship will be damaged beyond repair, and they can only walk back.

"What happened?"

"The skin of the airship began to freeze inexplicably. Under normal circumstances, this situation would not occur, because at our current flying altitude, the conditions for freezing would definitely not be met. I suspect there is an unknown influence."

Eliza ate the last bite of steak, wiped her mouth elegantly, and said:

"Do you think that there have been unknown changes in the area we are currently traveling in, or is there another reason?"

"I think it is the special nature of today," Renekton nodded gently and continued:

"Now there will always be many inexplicable changes on the night of the red moon. Generally speaking, we try to avoid flying missions on the night of the red moon."

Eliza thought for a moment and replied:

"You are experienced. Follow your ideas. Tell me if there is anything I need to cooperate with."

She often heard her husband say that laymen should not lead experts. The issue of night flight of airships is not an area she is familiar with. Of course, she has to rely on the more experienced airship captain.

"Okay," Renekton felt relieved. He was most afraid that the superiors would not understand themselves and be self-righteous. Now there is no such concern.

He bowed again and said:

"Madam, I will take my leave first. I will ask you for help when I need it."

He left the restaurant, walked quickly back to the cockpit, and asked:

"How is the situation? Has the icing phenomenon appeared again?"

The assistant nodded: "Yes, it has appeared again. The magic circle is performing de-icing operations.

Captain of the airship, it's too weird today. I remember that when I flew with you last winter, I didn't encounter such continuous icing."

Rekton's heart sank and said:

"You continue to keep an eye on the control console and reduce the flight speed. I will check the map to see if there is a suitable place to hover."

He began to observe the map carefully, first confirming the current approximate position of the airship and finding a suitable sheltered area.

After a while, he found several alternative areas.

The red moon was silent, penetrating the thick gray fog, and all things on the vast land were submerged in a bloody light.

In the city of Blaye, a soldier on the city wall spit out the cigarette he was holding, buttoned his collar, and muttered:

"It's so weird, why do I feel so cold today."

The temperature at night has dropped since entering autumn, but after being illuminated by the bright sun during the day, it is only now night in Guingamp, and the residual heat of the earth should not dissipate so quickly.

The bearded soldier next to him nodded in agreement:

"I think so too. I almost froze my eagle when I went to pee just now."

"You? Eagle? Yours is just a sparrow at best!"

"Get lost!" The bearded man pushed the other person aside angrily.

St. Peter's Basilica, a small study next to the Pope's Palace.

Arthur paced back and forth in the room a little irritated. He always felt that he was restless tonight, but he couldn't find where this feeling came from.

As a fifth-level extraordinary person, he believed in his intuition very much. Before he found the reason, he was destined to be unable to sleep.

What he didn't know was that many high-level extraordinary people in the city were uneasy at the moment.

Time ticked by, and an hour passed. Arthur's uneasiness not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.

At this time, he heard a noise coming from the distance outside, and he felt even more irritated.

He was about to open the door and go out to see what happened, when he heard the door being hammered wildly.

"Your Majesty, come out and see quickly, something big has happened!"

It was the voice of his attendant Wells, with a tremor and a tone full of panic.

Arthur's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rushed to the door and opened it:

"What happened?"

"You will know if you go outside."

The Pope pushed the attendant away and rushed outside. When he rushed out, he was immediately stunned.

The gray fog in the sky still dissipated, revealing a scarlet full moon hanging in the sky.

People standing in the light that seemed to emit a bloody smell immediately felt like they were being stared at by a flood beast.

Between the city and the full moon in the sky, a huge black and red shadow appeared.

In the shadow, there seemed to be many deformed and twisted shadows flashing.

The shadow slowly approached the ground, and Arthur found that it completely covered the entire city.

‘What is this? ’

He had no idea what this huge shadow was, but as the shadow approached, he began to feel a huge pressure on him.

Arthur forgot to breathe, and felt that every pore was trembling, and his whole head seemed to be hit by a club secretly, and he was dizzy.

The attendant behind him was even more unbearable, and he had collapsed on the ground, and the sweat on his forehead was like dense raindrops, gathering into a stream and flowing down.

The noise in the city stopped abruptly as the shadow approached, and all the people outside stared at the shadow that was approaching step by step. They wanted to escape but felt that their legs did not belong to them and could not be mobilized at all.

The light shield of the protective magic circle covering the city suddenly lit up. It was the people in the magic circle control room who adjusted the power of the magic circle to the maximum.

The people in the city suddenly felt the pressure relieved, and there were noises, cries, and cries for help.

Arthur turned and ran towards the Pope's Palace. He had a hunch that when the shadow touched the magic circle, it would be the end of the city.

He had to overload the magic circle to grasp a glimmer of hope.

As soon as the Pope stepped out, he saw a desperate scene in the sky.

Black twisted lines appeared on the originally clear light shield of the protective magic circle, and the lines quickly increased. In a few seconds, the entire light shield was swallowed by black and then disappeared.

The huge pressure suppressed everyone's movements again, and the shadow in the sky suddenly accelerated, falling down like a meteor, like the sky falling.

Arthur roared, struggling to break free from the huge pressure, but in his eyes, he saw the shadow "burning" and turning into a huge black and red fireball, falling towards the city, with St. Peter's Cathedral at the center of the fall.

"Hahaha, my descendants, thank you for building the magic circle to help me locate the position of the material plane, I will burn you to ashes and merge with me!"

The distorted voice echoed in the sky and spread everywhere.

The "fireball" lit up Arthur's eyes and passed through his body, and then his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
