The shouts coming from the street outside made Lucrecia and Taran El startled at the same time, and then their eyes suddenly turned to the window. There was still warm and bright "sunshine" pouring in from the window, so that in the first few seconds Lucrecia and Taran El did not notice anything unusual in the environment!
But they soon noticed that the "sunlight" coming in from the window seemed a little inconsistent compared to before, and the overall brightness of the skylight outside the window had decreased. Lucrecia's eyes condensed, and the next second, with a "bang", she turned into countless flying colorful pieces of paper, circling and rushing out of the window. The flying pieces of paper flew onto the roof like a whirlwind.
On a platform, the figure of the sea witch re-condensed - Lucrecia raised her head and looked at the sun at the moment. A huge dark sphere was hanging high in the sky, quietly floating.
The two rune rings on the edge of the sphere released a dazzling golden glow, and dim breakpoints frequently appeared between the two circles of light, as if the lamps had poor contact, as if they would go out completely at any time!
As the main luminous body has fallen into darkness, the only brightness of the entire sun at this moment is the two rune rings - theoretically, the entire city-state should now have fallen into darkness as if night is approaching, but there is still sunlight shining on Breeze Harbor!
The light came from the sea not far away. The glowing geometric body that looked like a small hill was still floating quietly on the sea. The light golden "sunlight" that diffused from that direction prevented the city from falling into darkness. This was the source of the sunlight that Lucrecia and Taran El had seen in the room before!
The sound of clothes rubbing against the building and heavy breathing reached her ears. Lucrecia lowered her head and saw a middle-aged elf with messy short golden hair climbing up the drainage pipe with difficulty. Master Taran El climbed to the platform despite a hundred years of periarthritis of the shoulder and cervical spondylosis. The talent of the elves is awe-inspiring!
"Hu...Hu...Ms. Lucrecia, you are right...Hu...I may need a little physical exercise. Just paying attention to diet and nutrition cannot...Hu...guarantee strong..."
"I don't think you're paying attention to your diet -- the vital signs maintenance meal is just to maintain your vital signs.
”
Lucrecia said expressionlessly, but Moonlight still stared at the dark sphere hanging high in the distant sky.
"As for now, let's take a look at the sky. This is a bigger problem."
Taran El took a deep breath and looked up in that direction.
Against the backdrop of the pale golden light that was dipping in from the sea, the dark sphere hanging high in the sky seemed
More and more weird - the vision that once protected the world for ten thousand years 001 - the appearance of the sun after it went out was so terrifying, it was like a terrifying hole leading to the end of all things or a rotten and dying eyeball quietly overlooking the whole world in the sky.
"Oh, it looks like we're in big trouble." Taran El finally uttered a few words from his throat. His eyes, which were bloodshot due to long hours of working late at night, slowly narrowed, as if he wanted to focus and see more details on the surface of the dark sphere.
“The worst thing…”
"The city-state guard has begun to maintain order and treatment. It seems that the mechanized training of Youfuyiyou is still useful."
Lucrecia lowered her head. She looked down at the street with
The City Guards, the steam walkers and tactical teams with the logo of the Academy of Truth have appeared at the intersection. The panicked citizens are struggling to restore calm under guidance. However, even so, the overall chaos in the neighborhood is still continuing!
And I don't know how it will develop.
Everyone is always prepared for "strange disasters", but no matter what, the impact of "the sun going out" on ordinary people is obviously beyond all training and plans.
"I need to go back to the Brilliant Star to confirm the situation!" Lucrecia suddenly withdrew her gaze from the block and turned to Taran El and said quickly.
"That ship is near the Falling Light and may be able to collect useful data,"
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 pieces of colorful paper!
In the blink of an eye, it circled and flew out of the rooftop platform and flew towards the distant port. The elf scholar was thrown on the roof. He was stunned for a while, then lowered his head to look at the direction he had just climbed up, and said, "At least take me down..."
He grumbled in frustration, slowly stood up, and prepared to follow the drainpipe back to the balcony on the second floor, but at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly noticed another place, which was a nearby building, located at the "
"Tower of Flowing Clouds" - it is the property of the Academy of Truth, and most elves simply call it "the Tower".
The top of the tower is equipped with various observation devices for monitoring the weather and observing the sky. Its special filters and telescope sets can also be used to observe the sun and other distant objects.
"It's not a wise idea to observe the sun at this time.
Raise…”
The elf scholar grumbled, then casually took out the amulet symbolizing the god of wisdom, Lahem, from his personal place, and placed it on his forehead to pray briefly, asking for the protection of foolishness.
.
"Okay, now I'm a fool,"
Taran El said, put away the amulet, took a deep breath, and then simply judged the distance and relative position of several nearby roofs, ran towards the direction he thought was most reliable, and jumped!
In the few seconds when he briefly broke free from gravity, felt the wind blowing across his face, and passed over the roof, a very valuable question suddenly emerged in the mind of this elf scholar -
“Why don’t I ask my students to help?”
...
The whole world fell into darkness, and a strange sky light that seemed like dusk, but even gloomier than dusk, enveloped the boundless sea.
The huge extinguished sphere hangs in the sky like a terrifying hole, and has not moved since it went out; the two circles of rune structures around the sphere emit the only remaining "afterglow"
When the sun goes out, the light even appears
A bit dazzling!
However, the "dazzling" light projected into the mortal world can only barely dispel the darkness of the entire world.
Duncan came to the deck, raised his head with an extremely solemn expression, stared at the dark sphere without saying a word, and everyone ran out of the room!
Gathered on the deck, looking at the strange and inexplicable sky, Vanna was praying in a low voice, Maurice frowned, Shirley hugged Agou tightly and hid behind Duncan; Nina hugged Duncan's arm with a look of nervousness and panic on her face.
There was already a faint golden glow in the latter's eyes, but Alice was the only one who 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, and did not look scared at all.
Lacking common sense, she seemed unable to fully understand what was happening at the moment.
A swaying shadow suddenly appeared in the air near Duncan, and the shadow quickly expanded and condensed to form the outline of Agatha.
"Everything is going well in the spirit world, Captain?" she said quickly to Duncan.
"It's OK for other places on the ship."
Duncan nodded slightly.
As a mirror image, Agatha can travel through the mirror world and check every cabin on the Lost Homeland in an instant. At the same time, she has "eyes" that can see through the spirit world and can confirm the status of the "deep world" around the Lost Homeland at any time.
In many cases, the intelligence she obtained from "observation" was even more comprehensive than what Duncan "perceived".
"Shirley." Shirley held Agou's head and looked up at Duncan's usually cheerful face, which was 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 moment, but frowned and looked at the sky carefully. After a long time, he whispered to himself, "The Creation of the World has not appeared?"
"The creation of the world?"
Morris, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard this!
Then he reacted and looked up at the sky. "Indeed, the Creation of the World is still hidden, which means..."
"The sun is still shining," Duncan nodded.
"It's just that the 'glow' function has been turned off for some reason? But its suppressing effect on the creation of the world is still there."
"Will the sun shine again?" Alice suddenly turned her head and asked curiously.
Duncan didn't have an answer, but he nodded slightly. "It should be possible. This huge phenomenon has been running stably for 10,000 years. Even if there is a problem, it will not collapse suddenly. 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 puppet said, Duncan couldn't help but laugh softly, then he lowered his head and ruffled Nina's hair.
Nina raised her head, a pale golden flame burned in her pupils, and the light of a star was brewing in the flame. She nodded slightly, then released her hands that were holding Duncan's arm.
A moment later!
A blinding light suddenly rose from the deck - Nina turned into an arc of flame in an instant. The shrunken Ultron circled around Duncan for two circles, then jumped lightly onto the mast, flew into the sky, and finally hung high on the top of the highest mast of the Lost Homeland - it hovered stably dozens of meters higher than the mast, with the arc of flame circling there, and the fire condensed into a small Ultron. The "sunshine" once again illuminated the Lost Homeland and a small area of the surrounding sea. In the distant sky, Anomaly 001 remained extinguished!
But at least within the range of the "Sun Fragment", reassuring warmth and light once again enveloped everyone.
Duncan exhaled softly. He knew that light would be the most reassuring thing in this situation. "Okay, now I should go check the situation in other places."
