In the magnificent stargazing room where steam and Roman sculpture style perfectly blend.
Members of the Sleeping Sect wearing black robes were forming a circle and praying silently.
Their faces were shrouded in the shadow of hoods, with only pale chins and closed lips exposed, making it impossible to see the true faces of most people.
And this also includes Su Wen and Shelly, who are fishing in troubled waters in the back row.
No.
Su Wen should be the only one who fishes.
As for the girl guard, she heard Su Wen say that playing a cultist requires sincerity.
She closed her eyes and tried her best to learn the carols of the people around her and began to imitate them.
Even so, Shelly was still a little nervous. After all, even as the daughter of a border official, her father only brought her here very few times.
She unconsciously recalled the experience of coming here.
She was a little sleepy.
The chants of believers also slowly rose and spread into the dark night:
【When night falls, everything becomes silent.
The rest of the gods envelops the earth,
In the silent night, I prayed devoutly]
Su Wen did not sing along, but just watched everything in front of him silently.
The dome of the star observation room is made of transparent glass, inlaid with exquisite brass gears and fine scales, forming a huge astronomical map.
Against the backdrop of the dark night, the lights of the hanging lamps shine through the glass and fall on the black marble floor in the room, like a bright galaxy.
The rising and permeating steam in the indoor pipes makes everything more hazy.
The time has come to unleash the magic.
The priest standing in front of the huge dark blue spherical gem in the center of the Star Observation Hall raised his cane.
He held a silver scepter inlaid with mysterious symbols in his hand, and the tip of the scepter drew mysterious tracks on the floor.
The chants became louder and louder.
【Pray for your grace and blessing.
I entrust my body and mind to you,
Let your soul rest in this tranquility.
Your eyes shine like stars,
It dispelled the fog and confusion in my heart.
In deep sleep, your power comes like a tide】
Shelly also nervously recited the sentences he taught her silently, trying to make herself more like a cultist.
But Su Wen just remained silent.
He is waiting for a more suitable time
Different from Lost Sea.
When the clear point arrives every three months, the stars will appear under the curtain of darkness.
Perhaps it was for such a sacred moment that such a special place was built in the royal city of the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
perhaps.
It also contains a hint of the memories of the drifters who were unable to return to the blue earth to look up at the winter stars in the northern hemisphere.
"But why should we choose such a place whose commemorative significance is greater than its actual use significance for the sleeping ceremony?"
Su Wenlian thought of something deeper.
include.
What Jiang Menghan told him in his voice did not exist in the towers, but it was the destination of his trip:
【Lantern with afterglow of light】
It's also related to this.
He thought of something.
As the priest presided over the ceremony in the Star Observation Hall, he smashed the silver cane on the ground.
The breath of sleep that Su Wen once released in the suburbs of the royal city also emanated at the same frequency as the glorious carols:
(This is a reserved item for now. It won’t be too late to delve into it later.)
He thought about it while snapping his fingers lightly.
now.
An extremely complicated front is like a wave of ocean currents.
On the back, a card with a dim spiral of stars appeared between Su Wen's fingers:
【Great Chief Player】
[You have discovered the side activity of "Opening up the Lost Sea": collecting decks and finding treasures]
[Analyze and visualize the border gate through knowledge from fellow travelers]
[Select the fog card ‘Black Tide between the Doors (Level 4)’]
[The card effect of the fog card ‘Black Tide between the Doors (Level 4)’: Countercurrent psychic tide, covering the established rules with the dark tide, causing non-directional distortion of the psychic characteristics in it]
[Belongs to the treasure card deck ‘Sleep’]
[There are seven mist cards in this set]
[Note: When encountering [Mist: Church of Sleep], if you collect a complete set of Mist cards, you can advance to obtain clues to the corresponding hidden treasure and mark the corresponding location]
Ever since I got this card.
Su Wen has been thinking about where he should use it.
After all, the non-directional psychic properties are still non-directional pollution originating from the Kuroshio, which can easily cause unnecessary damage.
so.
He made it part of the 'opening' of the layout.
The handsome gentleman has a calm smile on his face under the shadow of his black robe.
The shimmering card held on the fingertips also turned into a black vortex in an instant.
instantly.
The system prompts the line to be refreshed instantly:
[Comply with high-dimensional energy beam requirements]
[The supplicant who received the intervention signal ‘Eternal Night’ RTYI286]
[The distortion direction is offset, and the offset direction is ‘sleeping’]
[‘Sleeping’ Abyss Lineage Random Psychic Characteristics Triggered: Endless Spread—Vidal—Throne of Thorns]
moment.
The aura of slumber was completely distorted, turning into a vigorous aura of reproduction and expansion.
From the core of the secondary energy of Star View Hall, a spreading clump of dark blue thorns sprouted, grew, expanded and pierced everything in an instant.
It even passed through the cluster of stars carved in hollow metal.
In the stargazing room that perfectly blends steampunk and ancient Roman temple styles late at night, believers are still chanting devoutly.
Their voices echoed in the silent night.
But the sudden miracle broke the harmony in the room and brought chaos and unpredictable panic.
Due to the backlash of the magic, the priest suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and then knelt on the ground. The cane in his hand also fell to the ground because he was unable to grab it.
even so,
The growth of the dark blue thorn branches has not stopped, and is still extending in all directions.
It's growing.
It enveloped the entire star observation room and even penetrated most of the cultists who had no time to escape.
The huge dark blue thorn forest is rooted in the star observation room crystal that continuously supplies sleeping energy.
Not long after.
Nearly a quarter of the royal city was covered by these dark blue thorns. The huge body of the thorns surrounded the star observation room, forming a spectacular sight.
Most of Wang Huamei's Roman-style steam buildings are shrouded in thorns, and even the wide streets and dim gas lights are obscured.
“The results are even better than I expected.”
Su Wen had already left the Star Observation Hall, and he said calmly:
"After the door was closed, this group of cultists had difficulty connecting with the Sleeping Lord due to the lack of psychic catalysts.
And most of the energy they once collected and stored in the crystals has now been consumed."
The grand opening has been completed as scheduled.
Su Wen's layout also gradually unfolded.
But he still noticed a problem, that is, the girl beside him still did not open her closed eyes.
A dark blue vision unfolded before his eyes:
[Identification: Shelly - Meredith, has been selected by the breath of 'sleep'.
Due to being in the 'Crown of Thorns', the sublimation state has been corrected.
The upper limit of the life level of ‘Psychic Characteristics—Never Resurrected’ has been broken.]
