The continuous darkness means that people need to light the gas lamps for a longer period of time, and the heating of the steam factory cannot be reduced during the day. However, energy issues are still a minor matter. Although there are no large coal mines in the Vista Grove as energy reserves, there are
There is no shortage of wood.
At lunch that day, Margaret appeared on the ship for the first time in a long time. Her identity was the witch's apprentice, so she had to sit slightly behind the table. Agelina wanted to invite her to sit next to her.
But in the end Margaret sat on Siris' right hand:
"According to Shade's suggestion, I took people to dig the well in the abandoned lumberyard in the woods. I found Ashley Bettany's body in the well, and then found Al on the pendant around the body's neck.
Photo of Burt Bennett."
Of course, the photo was forged to let Margaret know the whereabouts of the illegitimate boy as an ordinary person.
"Now that the church knows that Albert Bennet is his father's illegitimate son, I have made an application to the church in my father's name, requesting the church's permission to set the child free after this incident is over.
But the church excused me on the grounds that the current situation was very complicated and they would communicate directly with my father later, and they asked me to leave Vista Grove immediately."
In fact, Margaret has nominally set off back to Willendale with Sylvia, but obviously Margaret cannot really leave. So she will report on the progress of the matter now, and then temporarily follow
The fleet returned to Willendale to report to King "Lion" Lion before rushing back.
Even if the city of Willondale is just downstream of Vesta Grove, the trip will take a lot of time, so Sylvia will open a portal for her later.
"It's impossible for the church to agree to let that boy return to normal life. Bennett chose him as the next successor of the transit station. He has outstanding time talents, and he doesn't even belong to the current time."
Meghan said, Margaret nodded worriedly:
"I think that's the case. The father shouldn't be very concerned about the boy's future now, but the child must appear to prove that there is no internal fighting in the family. The father and the church should eventually come up with a solution to let the boy
Show your face, and then find a way to arrange for him to die of a serious illness and withdraw from the public eye in a reasonable manner."
In other words, although Albert Bennet did not die as unfortunately as his sister, perhaps in the eyes of their father, it would be better if both children died many years ago. If they both died, that would be
There would be no more royal scandals and complicated negotiations with the church.
As for Miss Ashley Bettany, she still did not leave, but was still following Margaret. The upset Margaret was not in the mood to persuade her sister to go on, Weiss
The incident in Tallinn is coming to an end, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, who missed a series of actions of the Witch Council, failed to get what she wanted from her father even though she successfully completed her mission to the local area.
Because His Majesty the King was obviously dissatisfied with the result, Margaret also thought that maybe it would be better for her to ask Shade to kill the child behind everyone's back than to ask Shade to save the child. The boy's death
It would cause the royal family to lose a big burden, but Margaret believed that even if Shade agreed to help her, she would not be able to do so in the end.
Therefore, this investigation is destined to have only the current results.
After lunch, Megan contacted the church on behalf of the [Witch Council] and sent over the supplies that Shade had received from Moon Bay in the morning. The eight bottles of "Dragon Transformation Potion" were personal gifts, so Shade kept them all.
After sitting down, the witches were very interested in the effect of this potion.
Vanessa even asked Flora:
"When Shade piloted the Radiant Messenger to send away the black dragon beast, didn't you say that you also obtained the dragon's transformed form? Why haven't you shown it to us since?"
So Miss Owl said things like "It's not time yet" and "It can't be displayed at will", but in fact, she couldn't control this dangerous deformation in her current state.
As soon as Shade learned to transform into a moonlight dragon in the summer, he was once faced with the dilemma of being unable to transform back, which fully demonstrated the dangers of transformation.
The night is still going on, and the city of Vista gradually shows a tense atmosphere in the night. The city hall has passed an emergency resolution, and His Majesty the King of Willendale and the Parliament have also issued orders. It is expected that the city will
Comprehensive martial law will begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow and will last for approximately 24 hours.
The official reasons given are vague, but the general meaning is that the martial law is linked to the Zionists, the Kant family and the Bennet family, which vaguely reveals that there are people in the local area who really want to plot a rebellion.
.
Although the news that the city will be under martial law will only be reported in the newspaper tonight, the news has already been leaked, so local residents are taking advantage of the last free time to stock up on food and deal with things. The city under the night is therefore more serious than during the day.
It was so lively that pedestrians carrying kerosene lamps and even candlesticks could be seen everywhere on the streets.
The lights of gas street lamps are intertwined with these lights, making the city at night look like a festival.
The Willendale train station is still operational for the time being, but not many people have left the local area because of the one-day martial law in the city. Instead, after hearing the news, idlers from neighboring cities took the last few trains to the local area.
, I want to experience what "city-wide martial law" feels like.
The church does not stop this kind of initiative to jump into the pit of fire. After all, the Zhengshen Church is busier than anyone else right now.
They have obtained all the information from the witches and are making final preparations for what will happen next. But even at such a busy time, the church still wants to meet with the "God Caller" to discuss this maintenance in person.
Specific details of the Battle of Starwood.
Shade naturally refused, insisting not to have direct contact with the church unless necessary. Therefore, this time, the witches will take his place and communicate with the church to discuss matters related to the decisive battle in the woodland tomorrow night.
Megan still took over the job, but the witches and Shade had not yet discussed their specific plan, so she only gave the church a general idea.
In Shade's view, this battle in the Vista Woods should essentially be a war against time. On the one hand, he has to race against time to help Emilia complete the time war, and on the other hand, the Paradox Bugs will also race against time.
of attacks on cities.
The party that completes the task first will lock in the final victory, so not only is Emilia's matter important, but guarding Vista City is equally important.
Therefore, he hopes that the church and college will be responsible for guarding Vesta City, while he and the witches help Emilia complete the Time War as soon as possible.
This idea is also recognized by the Church. They have been preparing for a long time to fight against the Paradox Bug Army. Although this time the enemy is much stronger than the undead army in the "Edge of Life and Death" at Fort Midhill last fall.
But the church is also much better prepared than it was then.
Not to mention the chosen ones who have been confirmed to show up to help, the basic strength of the church and the college is also much stronger than last year.
It seems that since last summer, when Iluna became the first chosen one, not only have all kinds of weird and weird things happened frequently in the material world, but also things that may not happen once in hundreds of years have happened frequently, and various kinds of things beyond the Thirteen
The monsters in the ring appeared one after another, and the church and the academy have since discovered a lot of dusty knowledge and information that they had ignored in the past.
Even the number of high-level warlocks has increased significantly in more than a year. Although there are currently only one new thirteen-level warlock from the Witch Council and one from the Church of Creation, there are many twelve-level warlocks.
They all had a premonition that they were getting closer and closer to the Thirteenth Ring Road.
In other words, the power of both the pros and cons is growing. The official opening of the "" prophecy has changed some basic rules of the current era of the Sixth Era. Although the power level of extraordinary people today is still not as good as that of the past era.
, but compared to before 1853, it seems that some kind of shackles have been opened.
Therefore, the upcoming battle in the Vesta Grove is not a battle with completely unequal strength. The church has found a way to deal with the white mist of chaotic time that the Paradox Bugs use to protect themselves, and there are many enemies in the battle to defend the city.
There are insurmountable difficulties.
After discussing with the Orthodox Church, Megan also determined that the church and the college would try their best to persist in the attack of the paradox insect army for as long as possible, and if given the opportunity, they would even try to find the paradox insect "caretaker".
However, neither Shade nor the Zhengshen Church has considered wiping out all local Paradox Insects in one fell swoop. This is obviously impossible. Therefore, there is a limit to how long the Church and the Academy can defend the city, and the "God Summoner"
Then the chosen ones of time must complete the ritual before the city of Vesta is completely destroyed.
In order to facilitate the subsequent city defense battle, starting from this Friday afternoon, the city hall mobilized people from the villages around the city to enter the city area as soon as possible. Local people stationed at the "Twilight Forest Post" and "Aronson River Camp" in the forest area
While the garrison was relocating, it also allowed people living in the outer urban areas to live temporarily in "refuges" in the city in the name of "special military exercises."
Of course, the external publicity will not be "shelter" but use other terms.
There are no city walls in Vesta City, and the church intends to reduce the area that needs to be defended as much as possible to reduce its own pressure. However, no matter how short of manpower they are, they still dispatched a team of two thirteenth-level warlocks and ten elite 12th-level warlocks.
The formed team is on standby in the city, preparing to support the "God Caller" operation tomorrow night.
