Chapter 255

But then she realized something was wrong.

If my body feeling was correct, the night should have passed long ago.

Rosalin came to the first floor of the dormitory and looked at the clock above.

Sure enough, the time on the clock had already reached twelve o'clock.

If there were no problems in Rosalin's memory, her rest time yesterday would have been past twelve o'clock in the evening.

Time cannot be without change.

In order to verify, Rosalin ran out of the dormitory and didn't see anyone until she went to the commercial street.

At this time, many people had gathered in the commercial street. After hearing their words, Rosalin's inner doubts were relieved.

"What's going on today? Why is it still dark now?"

"Has this kind of day ever happened before in the history of the empire?"

"Damn it, I woke up in the morning and thought it was still dark, but I wasn't sleepy at all. I went downstairs and looked at my watch. I thought it was broken, but it turned out to be dark."

"So do you know what happened?"

"I don't know..."

It seems that people always feel threatened by this kind of abnormal weather, so they choose to join a group to stay warm.

The same goes for Rosalin. She would rather stay in the commercial street with her classmates than stay alone in the dormitory and be afraid of the terrible weather.

…

On the other side, after getting up in the early morning, Orson discovered an abnormality in the sky, and immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert, and then came to a residence alone.

Because of the war, the Imperial Library has been closed for a long time. During this period of time, Dorothy, who had no job, lived alone in a small room. For her, this seemingly boring life was the only reason for her long life. the main theme in.

Dorothy did not feel any abnormality in the sky, because during these days she kept the curtains closed and slept when she felt sleepy. Time was already out of order, and neither day nor night meant anything to her.

Just when she yawned and was about to go to sleep, there was a knock on her door.

She walked downstairs, opened the door, and then saw Orson standing at the door.

"Ah, it's Orson, why do you have time to see me?"

Dorothy looked at Orson and asked curiously.

"Miss Dorothy, look at the time now."

Orson didn't say any more polite words, but went straight to the point.

After hearing Orson's words, Dorothy looked at the sky through Orson, and then said:

"It's late at night now."

Then, as if she remembered something, Dorothy's face turned red for a moment.

Is Orson making something explicit?

It’s definitely making something clear!

Apart from that kind of thing, is there any other meaning to coming to see you late at night?

Of course, if Orson didn't mention the time and came to see her late at night, Dorothy could understand that he wanted to discuss a problem, but Orson deliberately mentioned the time, which made Dorothy have wild ideas.

"No... no, Orson, although you and I know each other, we are

There is a huge difference in numbers. I have always regarded you as a senior. Although it is easy for us to have some misunderstandings when we meet again after a long separation, but..."

"..."

When Orson heard Dorothy's words, his head was full of black lines.

Finally he couldn't help but explain: "Miss Dorothy, do you think it is night now? But in fact it is daytime, and it is noon!"

Hearing these words, Dorothy was stunned for a moment.

"Eh? Noon?"

She raised her head and glanced at the sky, then looked back at the clock in the room.

"What~ It's obviously twelve o'clock in the evening. I know you want to joke with me, Orson, right?"

"..." Seeing that Dorothy was still like this, Orson couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

"No, Miss Dorothy, I'm not joking with you. I'm serious. The sky has changed and the day has not arrived as expected."

Orson said this, pointing to the bright moon in the sky.

"This moon has been hanging overhead since last night."

Seeing that Orson had not lied to her, Dorothy also re-examined the celestial phenomena in front of her.

Looking at the bright moon above her head, she frowned, and then pulled Orson into the house.

"What's going on outside?"

"It's because I don't know that I came to ask you, Miss Dorothy. You are very knowledgeable and have a long life. You must have seen many more things than me."

When Orson said this, he revealed his purpose of coming here.

He has a good relationship with Dorothy, but that doesn't mean that Dorothy will definitely be able to help him participate in seizing power. You know, the last thing that immortals like dragons like to do is to interfere in major events in the world.

But the abnormal weather this time was probably related to Alsace's trump card. In order to understand this information, Orson approached Dorothy.

After all, there should be no one in the current city of Saint Laurent who has more knowledge than Dorothy, who has lived for hundreds of years or even longer.

"If, and I mean if, it's not a coincidence, this abnormal celestial phenomenon in 'Eternal Night' should be man-made."

"Oson, you have also studied magic. You should know that the end and ultimate of magic is to be able to change nature and common sense at will, including celestial phenomena."

"However, in my impression, those who can achieve this level must be above the tenth level of your human standards."

"Tenth level...above?"

When he heard this term, Orson's eyelids couldn't help but jump wildly.

What Dorothy means is that Alsace has a tenth-level powerhouse to help him?

"Well, it's not the tenth level. You have to be stronger than the tenth level to be able to achieve this level." Dorothy said.

"That is to say, there should be no existence among you humans that can cause such anomalies."

"Of course, your royal family has many secrets, and I can't guarantee that what I said is right."

To ease Orson's nervousness, Dorothy explained.

"I dare not say anything else. At least in Saint Laurent City, I have never felt the aura of a strong person above the tenth level. Therefore, this change in the sky may be just a coincidence, or... an illusion."

"However, if the illusion can cover the entire city of Saint Laurent, the quality of the illusion itself should not be lower than level nine."

"If the person who releases the illusion is your enemy, Orson, you have to be careful."

Hearing Dorothy say this, Orson felt a little relieved.

After all, the ninth level and the tenth level are not of the same magnitude. The tenth level only exists in legends, while the ninth level at least has living examples in every era.

Chapter 63: Army of the Dead

In the palace, after listening to his subordinates' report that the time was not in line with the sky, Langdon immediately found Alsace.

"Your Majesty, look at the sky outside. Logically speaking, it should be dawn, but now the moon is still hanging in the sky."

"..."

Alsace shook his head, confident.

He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and then at the scepter next to his hand, feeling extremely satisfied.

In three hours, he will be able to obtain the power left by his ancestors and completely defeat the rebels.

The scepter, which symbolizes imperial power, can not only issue edicts to prove the emperor's identity, but also has a function, that is, it can be used to save the fate of the royal family in times of national crisis.

Alsace had royal blood, and after Odysseus died

He also inherited the royal scepter. At this moment, this is his trump card.

He didn't know if Orson and Elsa still had trump cards, but if their trump cards were not as strong as his own, he would still be the ultimate winner.

However, the price Alsace paid was a bit too heavy.

Perhaps, after this war, it will take five to ten years for the city of Saint Laurent to return to its pre-war level.

After all, the number of residents who fled, died in battle, or died of illness during this period accounted for more than half of the city of Saint Laurent.

"His Majesty?"

At this time, Langdon's words brought him back to reality again.

"Well, don't worry about this. Just guard the palace."

Hearing this, Langdon nodded, and then left here.

In his heart, he already had his own guess about this anomaly.

This should have something to do with Alsace.

…

"Have you tried it?"

"Well, we can't contact the outside world. The people we sent out went around and back to where they were. They can't get out of Saint Laurent City at all."

At the coalition base camp, Orson frowned as he listened to Li Te's reply.

This problem seems a bit big.

Not only were people from outside unable to get in, but it seemed that people inside were also unable to get out. With the city of Saint Laurent as the center, the entire area with a radius of fifty kilometers was shrouded in darkness.

Originally, the coalition forces had supplies coming in continuously from the outside, but since nightfall, the supply team has not appeared again.

"Then it seems... we have to solve it from within."

"Li Teuk, when you were taking magic class before, you should have talked about magic circles, right?"

"Yeah." Li Te nodded after hearing this.

"The so-called magic circle can be understood as the magic set up by the magician in advance. Because the casting process of some magic is quite complicated, it is simply too late when it is needed to be used, so a magic circle is needed..."

"Well, it's very sturdy." Orson praised.

Li Te was very happy when he heard Orson praising him, and then continued:

"In addition to some cumbersome magic, it is said that there are many powerful magicians who will leave some magic arrays as life-saving charms for their descendants."

"So, Li Teuk, think about it, the royal family is the oldest existence in the empire. Even if the founding king has not considered it, there will definitely be emperors who have considered the issue of future generations."

"Then...Oson, are you saying that this celestial phenomenon is caused by a magic circle?"

"Well, if you want to activate such a large-scale illusion, you must have a ninth-level magician or above to complete it, and it is definitely not that simple."

"So, I am more inclined to think that this is a magic circle that was left behind a long time ago. It is a trump card used to launch a Jedi counterattack in moments of crisis for the royal family."

Hearing this, Lite was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "But... they can't do anything just relying on this eternal night celestial phenomenon, right? At least so far, no soldiers have felt uncomfortable because of this strange celestial phenomenon. ”

When Orson heard this, he said worriedly: "That's why I'm worried. I'm worried that this illusion is just one aspect, and what will really happen... is yet to come..."

At this time, Olivia walked in from outside carrying a plate.

"Are you tired too? Eat some fruit."

"Thanks."

Orson thanked him, then picked up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth.

"If you ask me, this celestial phenomenon is probably caused by the royal family. Maybe the entire city of Saint Laurent is a huge magic circle?"

Olivia made this comment during the break between the two of them.

After hearing Olivia's words, Li Te's eyes lit up slightly.

Orson also stopped to think for a few seconds, and then stood up.

"Give me the map of Saint Laurent City. I want a map with every street and landmark building marked in detail."

Li Te was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he understood what Orson meant. He immediately nodded and walked outside to take out the map.
