The shouts coming from the street outside made Lucretia and Taran El stunned at the same time, and then their eyes suddenly turned towards the window.
There was still warm and bright "sunlight" pouring in from the window, so that in the first few seconds, Lucretia and Taran El did not notice anything unusual about this environment, but soon, they noticed
The "sunlight" shining in outside the window seems a bit inconsistent compared with before, and the overall brightness of the skylight outside the window has dropped.
Lucretia's eyes narrowed, and in the next second, they turned into countless flying colorful pieces of paper with a "bang" sound, spiraling out of the window. The flying pieces of paper flew up to the roof like a whirlwind, and landed on a platform.
The figure re-condensed into the figure of the witch in the sea - Lucretia raised her head and looked towards the direction where the sun should be hanging high at this moment.
A huge dark sphere was quietly suspended in the sky. The two rune rings on the edge of the sphere were emitting a dazzling golden glow. Dim breakpoints frequently appeared between the two circles of light, as if the lamps had poor contact.
It will be completely extinguished at any time.
Since the main body of the light has fallen into darkness, the brightness of the entire sun at this moment is only the two rings of runes - in theory, the entire city-state should have fallen into darkness as if it was approaching night.
But there is still sunlight shining on Qingfeng Harbor, and this light comes from the sea not far away - the luminous geometric body like a hill is still floating quietly on the sea at this moment, and the pale golden "sunlight" diffused from that direction avoids
The city fell into darkness, and this was the source of the "sunlight" Lucretia and Taran El saw in the room before.
The sound of clothes rubbing against the building and breathing heavily reached her ears. Lucretia lowered her head and saw a middle-aged elf with messy blond short hair climbing up the drainage pipe with difficulty - Taran Ai
Master Er climbed onto the platform despite a century of frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis.
The talent of the elves is awe-inspiring.
"Huh...huh...Ms. Lucretia, you are right...huh...I may need a little physical exercise. Merely paying attention to diet and nutrition cannot...huh... ensure strength..."
"I don't think you pay attention to your diet and nutrition - the function of the 'vital sign maintenance meal' is only to maintain your vital signs," Lucretia said expressionlessly, but her eyes were still fixed on the sky in the distance.
The dark sphere, "As for now, let's take a look at the sky first, this is a bigger problem."
Taran El took a deep breath and raised his head to look in that direction.
Against the backdrop of the pale golden light that diffused obliquely from the direction of the sea, the dark sphere hanging high in the sky looked even more bizarre - the vision 001-the sun, which had protected the world for ten thousand years, looked unexpectedly after it was extinguished.
So terrifying.
It was like a terrifying hole leading to the end of all things, or a rotting and dying eyeball, quietly overlooking the entire world in the sky.
"...Oh, it looks like we're in big trouble..." A few words finally came out of Taran Ayre's throat, and his bloodshot eyes from staying up late for a long time slowly narrowed, as if he wanted to
Focus and see more details on the surface of the dark sphere, "The worst thing..."
"The City Guards have begun to maintain order. It seems that the day-to-day mechanized training is still useful." Lucretia lowered her head and looked at the street below, the steam walkers and tactics with the logos of the City Guards and the Academy of Truth.
The team has appeared at the intersection, and the panicked citizens are being guided to restore calm - but even so, the overall chaos in the neighborhood is still continuing, and it is not clear what will develop.
Everyone in this world is always prepared for "weird disasters", but no matter what, the impact of "the sun goes out" on ordinary people obviously exceeds all training and plans.
"I want to go back to the Brilliant Star to confirm the situation," Lucretia suddenly retracted her gaze towards the street and turned to Taran Ayre and said quickly, "The ship is near the 'Falling Light Body', maybe it can
Useful data collected.”
Taran El opened his mouth when he heard this, but before he could say anything, the "Sea Witch" in front of him had once again turned into countless flying colorful pieces of paper. In the blink of an eye, he circled and flew out of the roof platform and flew into the distance.
's port.
The elf scholar was just thrown on the roof. He was dazed for a while, then lowered his head and glanced in the direction where he had just climbed up.
"At least send me down..."
He muttered depressedly, stood up slowly, and prepared to follow the drainage pipe back to the balcony on the second floor, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed another place out of the corner of his eye.
That is a nearby building, the "Tower of Flowing Clouds" located in the city-state university - it is the property of the Academy of Truth, and most elves directly refer to it as the "tower".
Various observation devices are installed on the top of the tower for monitoring weather and observing the sky. Its special filters and telescopes can also be used to observe the sun and other distant things.
"...It is not wise to observe the sun at this time..."
The elf scholar grunted, then casually took out the amulet symbolizing Lachem, the god of wisdom, from his body, put it on his forehead and prayed briefly, praying for the protection of foolishness.
"Okay, now I'm a fool."
Taran El said, put away the amulet, took a deep breath, then briefly judged the distance and relative position of several nearby rooftops, accelerated towards one of the directions he thought was most certain, and jumped.
In the two seconds when he briefly broke free from gravity, felt the wind blowing on his cheeks, and crossed his body over the roof, a valuable question suddenly appeared in the mind of this great elf scholar——
"Why don't I call on my students to help?"
…
The whole world fell into darkness, and a strange skylight that was like dusk, but darker than dusk, enveloped the boundless sea.
The extinguished huge sphere hangs in the sky like a terrifying hole. It has not moved since it was extinguished. The two circles of rune structures around the sphere exude the only remaining "afterglow". When the sun is extinguished, the
The two circles of light even seemed a bit dazzling.
However, the "dazzling" light projected onto the world can only barely dispel the darkness of the entire world.
Duncan came to the deck, raised his head with a particularly solemn expression, and stared at the dark sphere without saying a word.
Everyone ran out of the room and gathered on the deck, looking at the strange and inexplicable sky. Vanna was praying in a low voice, Morris frowned, Shirley hugged Agou tightly and hid behind Duncan, Ni
Na was holding Duncan's arm, her face full of nervousness and panic.
The latter's eyes already had a faint undulation of light golden light.
Only Alice showed incredible "calmness" at this moment - she just held her head with one hand and looked up at the extinguished sun curiously, as if she had suddenly seen something new and strange, without any fear at all.
.
Lacking common sense, she seemed unable to fully understand what was happening at this moment.
A swaying shadow suddenly appeared in the air near Duncan. The shadow quickly expanded and contracted, forming the outline of Agatha.
"The situation in the spirit world is normal, Captain," she said quickly to Duncan, "and the rest of the ship is fine too."
Duncan nodded slightly.
As a mirror image, Agatha can travel through the mirror world and check every cabin on the Lost Home in an instant. At the same time, she has "eyes" that can see through the spiritual world and can confirm the "deep world" around the Lost Home at any time.
state - in many cases, the information she "observed" was even more comprehensive than the information Duncan "perceived".
"Captain," Shirley held Agou's head and looked up at Duncan, her normally cheerful face now full of fear and panic, "What's going on...is this what you warned me about before?"
Duncan did not answer Shirley for a while, but frowned and observed the sky carefully. After a long time, he whispered as if he was talking to himself: "The creation of the world did not appear."
"The Creation of the World?" Morris on the side was stunned when he heard it, and then he also reacted and looked up at the sky, "Indeed, the Creation of the World is still hidden, which means..."
"The sun is still in effect," Duncan nodded slightly, "It's just that the 'glow' function has been turned off for some reason, but its suppression effect on the creation of the world is still there."
"Then will the sun shine again?" Alice suddenly turned her head and asked curiously.
Duncan had no answer.
But he still nodded slightly: "It should be possible - this huge anomaly has been running stably for ten thousand years. Even if something goes wrong, it won't suddenly collapse completely, at least... it shouldn't be today."
Alice felt relieved and smiled happily: "Oh, that's good, my quilt hasn't been dried yet."
Listening to what this heartless doll said, Duncan couldn't help but smile slightly, then he lowered his head and rubbed Nina's hair.
Nina raised her head, pale golden flames burned in her pupils, and the brilliance of stars was brewing in the flames.
She nodded slightly, and then released her hands holding Duncan's arms.
A moment later, a dazzling light suddenly rose from the deck - Nina turned into an arc of flames in an instant. The shrunken prominence jumped twice around Duncan, then jumped onto the mast lightly and flew into the sky.
, and finally hung high on the top of the tallest mast of the Lost Home - hovering stably at a place dozens of meters higher than the mast.
The arc-shaped flames swirled there, and the firelight condensed into a small scorching sun. The "sunshine" once again illuminated the Lost Home and a small area of sea around it.
In the distant sky, Vision 001 still remains extinguished, but at least within the scope of the "sun fragments", reassuring warmth and light once again enveloped everyone.
Duncan exhaled softly. He knew that in this situation, light can calm people's hearts the most.
"Okay, now it's time for me to confirm the situation in other places."
