Sword of Daybreaker

The cold moon.

The coldest month of Ansu is here.

The giant day is solemnly and slowly ascended into the sky, and the yellow-brown strips floating like wood grain float on the huge daylight with a cloud-like halo. The changes in those colored stripes indicate one thing: the biggest cooling after winter. It will be coming soon.

The sun, the largest celestial body in the sky, is also the celestial body most closely related to people's lives. Experienced farmers can speculate on the approximate cooling date and temperature drop according to the changes in the stripes on that day, while scholars change according to the sun. The development of a method for deriving the overall climate for the second year of the giant day has always been a very important part of the daily life of people in this world.

St. Sunil City, the Master District.

Along with a slight rubbing sound, the “daily platform” on the upper part of the astrological tower opened its heavy and large skylight, and the magic-driven lifting platform was also firmly anchored on the top of the channel at the center of the daily platform. Morgan and Hugo and themselves. The assistants walked down the lifting platform and came to observe the position of the day wheel, ready to begin the routine observation work.

"Open filter filter mode iii."

The old royal mages gave instructions to the assistants on the side, and at the same time, they waved at the bookshelf not far away. The feather pen, parchment, ink bottle and other things flew immediately, and hovered in front of him, and received orders. The assistant ran to a control node not far away and began to inject magic into the rune.

Seeing the assistant's slightly savage movement, Morgan couldn't help but shouted: "Be careful! The runes here are worth the price!"

The assistant hurriedly controlled the magnitude of the injected magic, and as the rune columns around the platform were brighter, the skylight used to observe the daylight also floated a thin radiance.

After a while, the magic radiance condenses into a layer of light that is as solid as it is, filtering the daylight outside the skylight into a more suitable mode for human visual observation, and Morgan's Hugo nods slightly: this set of magical devices built a hundred years ago. It is still easy to use today, and as the most qualified astrologer in this astrological tower, the privilege of calling this magic device has always been his most proud thing.

The old master stood underneath the filter plate that was condensed with magical light. He looked up and carefully observed the sun wheel outside the skylight, observing the change of each color stripe on the surface, while the feather pen and parchment were suspended in him. Beside him, keep writing quickly, and record all the data and drawings.

Other assistants also came to the observation site, recording the data they were responsible for, and a quiet and awe-inspiring atmosphere enveloped the top of the astrological tower.

However, the atmosphere did not last long, and the whisper of an assistant's doubts broke the calm on the observation platform: "The bottom red grain is offset three degrees to the east?"

Morgen Hugo immediately took a look at his assistant: "What nonsense?"

"It's true! Teacher!" The assistant said quickly, and then took the record of his own to the instructor and took out the last observation record. "Look, this is the last record you personally confirmed."

Moorgen Hugo took a few pages of paper from the assistant, and the line of sight swept over it. He snorted, then looked at it more carefully, then looked up again, his eyes staring at it. The giant day in the sky.

"This is impossible..." The old astrologer muttered to himself, waving his hand to summon the phantom spell used to calibrate the coordinates, setting a large reference mark around the daylight image on the filter, but after looking at the calibration As a result, his shock has increased. "No... impossible... such a large shift... this has never been seen..."

"Teacher, are we going to report to Silver Fort?" the assistant asked cautiously. "This is an obvious celestial anomaly."

"Report Silver Fortress now!!"

......

In the Dark Mountain Range, the second mage in the Observatory on the 2nd, the young mage who was responsible for recording the changes in the sun, also stunned the record board in his hand.

“Don't it be a storm on the surface of the sun?” The young mutter muttered to himself. He took a closer look at the data and drawings on the scoreboard, then looked up and passed through the large roof on the roof of the observatory. The filter lens looks at the image of the sun wheel, and the face is incredible.

The companion on the side looked curiously: "Is it a mistake in history?"

"No, all the data is double-observed and recorded," the young mage said as he stood up and walked to the door of the observatory. "I went outside to see, and you continue to record inside!"

He walked out of the observatory and came to the platform connected to the site. The cold north wind hovered over the dark mountains, rolled over the forests and canyons, and whistled on the site that was just built a few months ago. The young mage who came out of the warm room couldn't help but linger.

The young mage propped up the shield and isolated the cold mountain wind, then took out the portable filter lens and carefully observed the sky's giant day through the lens.

These celestial observatories in the dark mountains are an adjunct to Carmel's “Magic Essence” project, which aims to study the connection between the macro-day cycle and the magical changes in nature.

For a long time, Carmel believes that the magic of nature comes from the great day in the sky, but since the whole world itself is enveloped by a powerful magical environment, it is necessary to observe the external magical changes in this “enveloping environment”. It became difficult, in order to minimize interference and improve the accuracy of observations, Kamal hosted a series of observatories built in the dark mountains.

The "No. 2 Tianxiang Observatory" is one of them.

These observatories also function to detect changes in magic and observe changes in the sky, and because of the heights of the dark mountains, it even has the role of monitoring the magnificent walls.

Being able to be stationed in such an observatory, the young mage is naturally the leader of many of Kammer's apprentices and assistants. However, at this moment, the outstanding young man has fallen into a huge horror.

The giant day still hangs quietly in the sky, as always, it provides light and heat to the world. In the eyes of ordinary people, I am afraid that there is no change at all. However, for this young man, the sun in the sky has become Very strange.

The young mage looked up and looked at him for a long time. Even with the protection of the filter lens, his eyes quickly became painful. He had to lower his head. The use of the technique relieved the pain of the eyes, and then began to carefully Fine-tune the parameters on the scoreboard in the opponent.

At this moment, a strange low voice was introduced into the ears of the young mage.

The sound seemed to come from a far-reaching place. It sounded like a hurricane wrapped in thunder, and it spread so far that it was already vague when it was introduced into the ear. Young people are in this weird sound. Looking up, after seeing the source of the sound, his expression fell into a sluggish state.

His vision crossed the ridge of the dark mountain range, crossed the dark forest at the foot of the other side of the mountain, and crossed the corrupted plain destroyed by the decay of the magic tide. At the end of the line of sight, on the southern horizon, the entire magnificent wall was brighter than ever. Several times the light.

The low wind and thunder came from the magnificent wall.

"...the goddess of magic..." The young mage whispered in exasperation, then turned and rushed to the observatory. "Tell me Master Carmel! Tell the Lord!!"

......

On the far horizon of the south, the magnificent wall shines like an aurora falling on the ground, floating there several times more than usual, with a breathtaking sense of magnificence, and that kind of order The uneasy wind and thunder is still coming, but it is much smaller than it was at the beginning.

Gao Wen stood on the observation platform of the dark mountains and looked at the distant scene for a long time without saying a word.

In his mind, the alarms from the satellite surveillance system are still echoing:

"...Warning, the activity of giant planets rises abnormally, warning that the activity of giant planets rises abnormally..."

The magical changes in nature are closely related to the activities of the great days. According to what happened seven hundred years ago, the changes in the giant days are very likely to indicate the approach of the magic tide. The observation records of the Krakens also confirm this: When the magic tide starts, the first abnormal reaction occurs, which is necessarily the sun in the sky.

Time is running out... Or is it time already?

Gao Wen closed the warning message in his mind and turned to look at the young mage next to him. This young man was the first on the territory except for his own "satellite" with satellite warnings to detect the sun's changes for the first time. The person who found the anomaly and sent back the alarm, and the abnormal situation of the magnificent wall was also reported by the young man in time.

"How long has it been since the strange wall and the light of the magnificent wall?"

"It’s been four hours now, adults," the young mage said a little nervously. "But I can only make sure that the strange sound came from four hours ago. I don't know when the brightness changed. We were there before. I have been recording other things for a few hours, not looking at the magnificent wall."

Gao Wen nodded. From the report of the young mage, he heard the rigor of the researcher.

After Gao Wenshen, Herti and others who followed him were all worried. Amber was the first one to resist: "I said... that wall will not collapse, right?!"

Gao Wen wanted to give a clear answer, but after a few seconds of thinking, he could only shake his head: "...I don't know."

Hetty and Rebecca said in unison: "You don't know?"

"I can only confirm one thing: the current strange noise and the increase in the brightness of the energy barrier are all manifestations of the surge in the load of the magnificent wall. The pressure it bears at this moment is very large, but the barrier has not broken, indicating that the pressure has not exceeded the threshold. According to the original design, as long as no new impact comes, it will repair itself but I am not sure that after seven hundred years of wind and rain, the barrier safety system will survive this test."

Rebecca swallowed his mouth: "If...is it?"

"The dark mountains may be able to block the first impact of the magic tide, but the distortion will soon begin to try to overcome this barrier. The best situation is that the chaos in the wasteland has been sharply over the past seven hundred years. Attenuation, no longer has the power to directly destroy the human world, then the Southland will return to the situation when Ansu was just founded seven hundred years ago, and the monsters that rushed out of the magic tide are continually fighting, and the never-ending tug-of-war is carried out. "Gao Wen shook his head. "The good news is that we now have the magical cannon and the rainbow light device. The bad news is that in other parts of the South, there are no more Cecil wolf cavalry in the past, and there are no more sacred gods." The storm group and the nobles died."

Behind Herti, a government office official couldn’t help but whispered: "So we better pray that it will survive this time..."

"Prayer tube is not easy to say, but at least we can't wait for it," Gao Wen turned and looked at Herti. "The government office is in a state of emergency, ready to call strategic materials... The town of the shield serves as a preparatory refuge... Increase the monitoring of the southern part of the dark mountain range, and all observation points turn to the magnificent wall... Prepare for publicity, the security team is on call, and nowhere can be messed up..."

With Gao Wen's instructions issued, everyone on the scene was more aware of the seriousness of the matter, and in the meantime, they felt a little peace of mind.

If there are instructions and arrangements, then it is better than nothing.
