Moon Scar space node, two days of mission time.
Prince Chen felt like he had spent two years.
As the first group of members who set foot on the altar of the teleportation array and came to the space node of the Moon Scar, following the news of the accidental death of the werewolf Segern reported by the "Temple Judge" later, the defilers were the first to notice the danger here. After the time-space smuggling news, Prince Chen's heart was cast with a shadow.
In charge of guarding the smuggling altar, Prince Chen is in charge of maintaining the stability of the Fenghuo Leijue magic circle with two specially hired freelance scholars from aristocratic families who studied the prohibition of magic circles.
Staring at the three maids of the Temple of Wisdom and gradually disappearing into the night with many judges, Prince Chen didn't know why, and a trace of uneasiness faintly flowed in his heart.
But this is my last chance, and I have no way out!
Looking forward to these judges successfully completing the tasks of the Temple of Goddess, so that they can get some support from the Temple of Wisdom, so that they will not even have a chance to fight in the future, Prince Chen checked the situation of the magic circle over and over again.
I never want to go back to the kind of despair where the sky is dark and I can only pray silently!
Under house arrest, unable to go out, praying every day not to hear the death knell in the depths of the palace, tortured by fear all day long, like being in the despair of being in hell.
However.
After a few hourglass hours.
As the people who fled back one after another brought news of the defeat ahead, Prince Chen's heart also turned cold.
He tried his best to comfort the people who had escaped, followed him to make a final effort, and stood firm here, but there were still people who chose to take the teleportation altar to leave.
There are fewer and fewer people staying in the space node of the Mark of the Moon.
Prince Chen knew that he must not admit defeat.
Never show any weakness and cowardice!
But no matter how hard he tried, no promises he made, couldn't stop the slackening of people's hearts. Under the continuous onslaught of the Xilan people surrounded by the wind, fire and thunder formation, every energy fluctuation of the magic circle enchanted Chen. The prince's heart sank.
It was not until the middle of the afternoon of the second day that the onslaught outside suddenly weakened a lot.
The formation of wind, fire and thunder is composed of four energy sacrifices, and four magicians are required to preside over the altars. In one day, the crystals on the four energy altars have been replaced more than ten times.
The night of the next day fell quickly.
Seeing that there were only twenty or so people left in the Fenghuolei battle formation, most of them were members invited by the Temple of Wisdom Goddess, and those whom he had promised with benefits fled one after another. Prince Chen sat silently on the edge of an altar.
Although he is humble enough to face everyone with a constant smile, what he gets in exchange is ruthless rejection time and time again.
"Your Highness."
A man and a woman, two freelance scholars came slowly.
Prince Chen, who was lowering his head in silence, raised his head, with a forced smile on his face.
"Jamune, Jenna, my friend, it's so late, what's the matter?"
"We came to say goodbye to you, sorry."
James was apologetic, but he said firmly: "Your Highness, you don't need to persuade us anymore, we all know that this is an impossible task, and we sympathize with your experience, but unfortunately, we Can't help you."
Prince Chen kept a forced smile and nodded.
"Then, I wish you all the best of luck. It is I who need to be sorry for failing to give you hope."
Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Prince Chen sat down silently. He felt like a dingy dog who had lost any dignity that a prince should have.
A prince without anyone's support is even inferior to an ordinary nobleman.
Because of his future, there is no hope.
Never give up!
If he gave up, he would lose everything when he returned to the palace, and what awaited him was only endless despair.
Miracle!
There must be a miracle!
Prince Chen knew clearly that he had no faith.
Half a year ago, after the book-burning incident at the Grand Academy of Sciences, from the moment the second prince received the blessing of the church, he became a staunch atheist.
Over the years, he no longer knows how many times he has prayed to the various gods and prayed to the Creator of Light, but all he got was more desperate news.
The Great Hierarch in red left the Great Empire of Aurora and traveled thousands of miles to the Principality of Gran. After burning the books of the Royal Academy of Sciences, he gave the Second Prince his blessing as a compromise of his political attitude.
Then what is my humble prayer
Disheartening despair!
Prince Chen fully understands that in this world, any opportunity can only be won through his own efforts, and the high god will not show mercy to anyone.
It is precisely because of this that after half a year of hard work, I finally won this opportunity to go out, a chance that might change my destiny.
"Kuroba, why didn't you leave?"
Suddenly, Prince Chen looked at the free scholar beside him,
This is an academic researcher on the prohibition of magic. He is squatting beside an altar, silently studying the changes in the structure of energy runes. He looks a bit dull with his highly myopic glasses.
"Opportunities are reserved for those who strive for them with all their strength and are patient enough."
Hei Yu didn't turn his head back either.
"Although I am not optimistic about this mission, the battle of wind, fire and thunder is still there, and I haven't reached true despair. There is no need to leave in such a hurry. My father told me that things like opportunities don't need too much. There are hundreds of failures, but just a few of them are enough."
The academic knowledge of magic prohibition, like the academic knowledge of space, requires scholars to specialize and spend a lot of time in order to gain a knowledge system.
"Thanks."
Prince Chen continued to lower his head.
I still remember when I was a child, when Sealand and Gran were in a brief period of reconciliation, and I once returned to Sealand with my mother.
At that time, the cousin of the Bingling-eyed Prince Ling was just born, and he even hugged him, and said Tongyan Wuji that he would take care of him in the future.
"So many years have passed, we have all grown up, I live in the shadow of fear, but you have become the new favorite of Sealand, you want to get my corpse, and it will be your stepping stone to the throne."
Prince Chen stroked the sword at his waist.
Maybe dying here is also a good choice
At least it can be used by this cousin, and maybe he will cry and cry falsely, and then send himself to the King of Sealand to be buried with proper etiquette, instead of wasting his life in the court, waiting until his father After his death knell, he became a victim of political martyrdom.
During the whole night, Prince Chen spent in wild thoughts.
Outsiders simply cannot understand the pressure he faces.
"The Xilan people outside seem to be evacuating here!"
Sudden.
I don't know who yelled.
Everyone in the magic circle woke up one after another. Some people left the energy altar to protect the enchantment, and then crossed the fog outside the enchantment to look outside.
Sure enough, as this person said, the surrounding Xilan people are evacuating.
"Is it a trap from the Sealanders?"
One instinctively murmured.
Under the pale silver moonlight, Prince Chen looked around in disbelief, just like everyone else around him, confused and confused.
time flies.
Between day and night, an instant passes.
The dazzling sun fell on the ground, and there was no one outside the magic circle, but everyone still did not dare to act rashly, wondering if this was the conspiracy of those Xilan people.
More than half of the hourglass time passed.
A group of Granites appeared in the distance, and the onlookers were taken aback. They opened a gap in the barrier of the magic circle and let these people hide in.
"Where are the Sealanders?"
Everyone asked.
However, these people, like everyone in the magic circle, were extremely confused about the movements of the Xilan people, and only knew that they should evacuate.
Lei Luo came to Prince Chen.
"Your Highness, I want to leave the Moon Scar space node."
At this moment, Prince Chen is extremely confused.
"Lei Luo, do you know what happened to those Sealanders? They..."
Lei Luo showed the scar on his shoulder, and motioned to Angela, who was weak, and said impatiently: "We are in a bad state now, and we have to go back to the fortress to fix it as soon as possible. I'm really sorry."
"oh!"
In the past two days, Prince Chen has long been used to rejection.
"Then, I wish you good luck. The rewards you need can be exchanged for the priests outside the temple. However, depending on your friendship value in the temple, if you want to exchange for the blessing of the goddess, you still need 2 points. Do you want to fight for it?"
"I'm so sorry."
Seeing Lei Luo's resolute attitude, Prince Chen nodded silently, watching Lei Luo, Aoun, and Angela stepping onto the altar one after another and leaving the Moon Scar space.
Aoun and Angela belonged to the outstanding students who applied to the Academy of Sciences from the temple, so there was no need to greet Prince Chen.
Moreover, most of the aristocratic forces expressed their support for the second prince. Although the two were not from noble families, they were very clear about the unspoken rules of this kind of aristocracy. Being too close to Prince Chen would not do them any good.
Take a deep breath.
Prince Chen suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and held it high above his head.
Under the gaze of everyone, he walked towards the distant room step by step, heading straight to the gathering point in the space node of the Moon Scar, the direction of the former Temple of Wisdom.
If it is a conspiracy by the Xilan people, then face this conspiracy bravely, there is no way out for yourself.
Seeing this, most people frowned slightly and did not leave without authorization.
There were only a few people who seemed to have thought of something and followed Prince Chen in big strides. Most of these people came back with Lei Luo, Ao En, and An Jina later.
After two hourglass hours.
Every step is so heavy, when Prince Chen stood at the gathering place of the space nodes of the Moon Scar, stood on the ruins of the Temple of Wisdom, staring at dozens of old people who believed in the Goddess of Wisdom, and was happily celebrating the Sealand Demon. They left and stood there blankly for a long time.
Tears flowed unconsciously
"Is this a miracle?"
Prince Chen muttered to himself.
"It must be related to Prince Ling's death!"
The macaque gnome whispered.
"The people of Xilan are all chanting about the magician named Blast Massacre, who single-handedly killed their prince!"
"Explosive killer? What's going on, please tell me!"
Prince Chen suddenly noticed something, and hurriedly asked.
Those who can follow him here will be his loyal followers in the future, although there are only four people who have expressed their position to him.
In the slow talk of the macaque dwarf, Prince Chen's complexion gradually changed, and the divine light in his eyes gradually brightened.
