The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
It was daybreak, but the sky was still gray.
It's just like the few hours before nightfall, when the sun sets but the world hasn't completely fallen into darkness.
"Is it dawn already, Your Highness?" Several guards said dazedly.
"It's daybreak!"
Sean woke them both up and then ran directly to Illya's room to wake her up as well.
"Your Highness, isn't it still dark?" He lazily climbed out of the small bed.
In fact, I had gotten up once before, but seeing that it was still dark outside, I wanted to sleep a little longer. I didn't expect to meet Prince Sean in person.
"Mi Er Ke."
He shouted out of the window.
In an instant, the vines seemed to grow automatically and penetrated deep into the house. Soon... the half-thorn body gradually jumped out from the branches.
"Your Highness, why is it so late today?"
"You discovered it too."
"I've always felt that the sun didn't rise on time." The Lady of Thorns had a special sense, and it seemed to her that the sun rose particularly late today.
The Adak region does not have winter and summer like other regions with distinct four seasons, and even though it is summer now, the dawn does not come so late.
"It's not that the daybreak is late...it's that the thing I was most worried about has happened!"
………………
Jagun did not welcome the dawn of a new day. Soon, people in the whole city gradually woke up out of habit, but found that the sky was still as gray.
It felt like the sun wouldn't rise.
At first, the citizens didn’t think anything was wrong. Maybe something special happened... such as a severe storm on the sea that pushed the black clouds to this place.
But as time passed, there was still no sign of the sun rising in the sky.
The citizens began to panic!
Even the ruling class that maintained the entire Jagun order began to panic.
"Quick, use the fastest falcon to send a message to the countries in other parts of the desert and ask if the situation is the same."
In the hall, the Sun King called all the ministers and royal family members together, and quickly ordered the soldiers outside the city to return to protect the capital.
To prevent riots from happening.
Soon, Melsusa and several legion commanders including Ben Tari followed in.
"How's the situation?"
"We haven't received a response to the falcons we sent out, but several countries have recently sent us messages asking what's going on."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid other places are just as confused as we are right now."
A noble stood up and said at the bottom of the hall.
"Is there any news from the high priest?"
Looking to the other side...
Many great court wizards were also called into the hall, hoping to use their magic to see what was going on.
"No response yet. Perhaps it's a celestial phenomenon... High King, don't be alarmed."
"A celestial phenomenon?"
"Yes, I just looked up some ancient books, and they recorded a similar situation a thousand years ago. It happened not only in the Adak region, but also in the Zambutal and Amansha regions."
"Skywatchers call it..."
"eclipse?"
"Yes, it's a solar eclipse."
All eyes in the hall were focused on Sean who was answering the question.
"Sean, do you know this?" asked the Sun King curiously.
"When we were in the Bashalan Empire, all the nobles there had one or two hobbies," Sean said.
Anyone familiar with Basaran knows that the minor nobles there cultivate hobbies.
"Is there a place in the palace dedicated to observing celestial phenomena?"
"Yes, it is! But it's not in the palace. It's outside, towards the wizard clock tower."
"Take me over there to have a look..."
When the Sun King and several other ministers heard that Sean was going there, they looked confused.
"The solar eclipse won't last that long. I'm afraid there must be some other reason. I need to go over and take a look to confirm it... Uncle, please arrange all the precautions here." Sean said.
"I'm going with you."
Seria, who was standing nearby, suddenly said.
"You want to go too?"
Sean glanced at the other man.
"Since my brother is going too, I might as well go with him. Maybe I can help you."
A "Thinking!" icon appeared above his head, and he was probably thinking about something again.
Sean didn't think his cousin was the type to do what he said like the sisters in those novels. In his opinion, the fact that Seria didn't put drugs in his tea was already a sign of family.
There has never been any friendly interaction between the two!
"Then I'll go too."
"Mudan, just follow me and help me in the palace." The Sun King suddenly said.
"Sean, go with Seria to the clock tower, see what's going on, and then come back and tell us!"
"yes."
In the end, he decided to have Seria accompany him, and of course, a great wizard from the palace named Griffin would also be traveling with him.
Wizard's Bell Tower.
In fact, it is a place similar to the wizard's tower. Many wizards supported by the state are qualified to live in it as long as they have a high level.
The area of this place is not smaller than the college, and it belongs to a high-level organization.
There is no sunshine.
There were almost no people on the gloomy streets!
The Sun King immediately issued an order that due to the astronomical phenomena, everyone should try to reduce going out. At the same time, he sent guards to patrol every street to strengthen control.
