evening.
Today it was Ask's turn to guard the ancient books outside, while the other girls went back to Hearthfire Island.
After moving a bench in the church, Ask sat outside the chapel, looking at the dark night sky leisurely.
The light pollution in Solomon City has always been serious, but this time, due to the sudden change after the rising magic tide, most of the lights in the city were turned off, revealing the brilliant starry sky unique to the night of the world of "Song of Iron and Fire".
Although the continental terrain and place names here are highly similar to those of the Earth, this planet called "Helel" is not the Earth, so the starry sky here is completely different from that observed on Earth.
There was no Big Dipper, no Southern Cross, no constellations that Ask knew, though he probably wouldn't have been able to recognize them on Earth.
There was a deep silence all around, only occasionally a searchlight would break through the night sky and head towards the edge of the Lateran Palace... Perhaps there was another attack on the force field shield over there. It seemed that the high-dimensional creatures did not need sleep and were still vigorously attacking humans.
"Asker." Nora's voice sounded from behind.
"I'm sorry to have you take the risk of coming with me this time." She squatted beside Ask's chair, hugged her knees and said softly.
"It's all right," Ask said, "We're not in any danger."
Nora gently stroked the chestnut hair on the side of her face and smiled bitterly with some helplessness.
Is it safe to say that we encountered that scene when we entered the city? If Eleanor hadn't used the tortoise shell of will enhanced by the holy sword to protect everyone, who knows what would have happened.
"I've told my brother about this," she continued. "Next, the Vatican will gradually arrange personnel, equipment, and information to evacuate to Castel Sant'Angelo Airport along the secret passage."
"We will be the first to evacuate."
"Okay." Ask didn't say anything, just nodded.
In fact, he didn't know what to say. For this high-level mutation that had never happened in the original game, he couldn't think of any other tricks except running away.
As an e-sports player, Ask only conducts in-depth research on game combat and character building. As for online game tasks and plots, the club has a special resource department to manage them.
For super-large mission copies like the Solomon City Anomaly, professional clubs usually roughly ask the technical department to directly capture and unpack the packages and clarify the local data updated by the game client: for example, what monsters are in this mission, how strong they are, what the rewards are and how to obtain them, all of which will be specially classified by planners.
Professional players like him only need to control the character according to the planned and designed process, complete the task, and get all the rewards.
At this point, it no longer feels like playing a game, but more like a boring job.
And now he was trapped in an unknown mission plot, with no clues or information of any kind, and was completely in the dark. This was indeed an experience that Ask had not experienced in a long time.
For now we can only take it one step at a time.
A few minutes after Nora left, Ask heard Mier's voice from behind him:
