…
At the edge of Star Lake, on the top of Guanhu Mountain, at this moment, Dorothy was standing on an unmanned viewing platform on the top of the mountain, overlooking the vast lake below. After glancing at the sun in the sky, she slowly spoke.
"It's time..."
Muttering, Dorothy raised her left hand slightly. On her left finger, a ring was emitting a slow silver light.
At this time, Dorothy was connecting to the great secret hidden in the Starry Lake through the ring inherited from her mother whom she had never met. Ever since she entered the Mirror Moon Cathedral in the secret space, the ring had been activated to a certain extent. With it as a medium, Dorothy could control the Mirror Moon Cathedral in the hidden space through the link connected to the surrounding area of the Starry Lake in the real world and perform all the operations she could do under the current permission.
"Come on, turn it over..."
As Dorothy murmured, the originally calm surface of Star Lake suddenly began to move. The lake water, which was originally sparkling in the breeze, suddenly became calm under some strange power. Any ripples on the lake surface in that area were smoothed out at this moment, and the entire lake surface in that area was completely transformed into a smooth mirror, reflecting the scene of the sky without a trace of ripples.
Then, changes began to occur on the mirror-like surface of the lake. While there was nothing on the lake, there was a light disturbance in the water. After a series of illusory and blurry changes, a reflection slowly formed and took the shape of a huge building.
Slowly, the reflection of a huge church appeared in the reflection of the lake. This independent reflection had no corresponding entity on the lake surface. It existed independently in the water reflection against common sense.
After the church appeared in the reflection of the lake, the entire huge mirror began to flip. Under a distorted and indescribable light, the huge lake surface was easily turned over like an ordinary round mirror. The huge dome-like building, which originally existed only in the reflection of the lake, flipped silently from the mirror world to the surface of the Starry Lake in reality, and then floated on it.
In the silence of just a few seconds, a towering church appeared on the broad surface of the Star Lake. After the originally colorless bricks and stones were illuminated by the sunlight of the real world again, various colors appeared on its surface one by one, including the gray-yellow stone pillars, colorful arched windows, and dark dome... At this moment, the originally distorted church gained a "real" texture.
After who knows how many years had passed, Mirror Moon Church returned to the lake surface of the present world. However, the silhouette of this huge church was invisible to Dorothy who was standing on the observation deck on the mountain at that time, because the church was surrounded by a barrier that blocked the sight of ordinary people to protect it. However, Dorothy did not need this barrier, and she removed it with a slight wave of her hand.
The barrier that concealed the existence of the church disappeared, and this huge building suddenly appeared without any warning. In the eyes of all the people around the Star Lake who were looking at the lake, many people who were walking along the lakeshore looked in shock at the sudden appearance of such a huge building in the familiar lake, and they could not help but stand still in shock.
"Look! What is that!?"
Accompanied by exclamations, countless residents who had come to participate in the exhibition and had not yet had time to go back flocked to the lakeside, looking at the huge building in the distance in surprise. The residents who had lived in the land for a long time were also encountering such a situation for the first time, and they could not help but talk loudly. The entire shore of the Star Lake was filled with an atmosphere of surprise.
"Sister Vanya! Did you see that? That building over there... the church on the lake, suddenly appeared. That can't be an illusion!"
At the lakeside where the exhibition was held, Gaspare, who was looking at the lake from afar, spoke in surprise, and wiped his eyes in between words, wondering if he had seen it wrong. Meanwhile, Vanya, who was standing next to him, had a circle of orange light around the edge of her pupils, and she stared at the building in the distance and spoke in surprise.
"I'm afraid this is not an illusion, Father Gaspare, it's real... a real church that suddenly appeared without any signs. How could this happen?"
Vanya said this, and just when Gaspare was about to say something more, there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind them. Someone looked back and saw the local bishop running towards them in panic.
"Sister Vanya! Sister Vanya! What happened to that... that church on the lake? Did you do it? Did you use any extraordinary abilities? A lot of people around the lake saw it!"
"That's the question I wanted to ask you, Bishop Hogg... You are the bishop of the land of Yu, and don't you know what secrets this lake has?" Looking at Hogg who was running over, Vanya asked seriously, while Hogg continued to answer in panic.
"No... no! Although there have been some strange legends about this lake since ancient times, we and the people from the Security Bureau have explored it several times and have not found anything secret or abnormal. This thing... This thing on the lake is the first time we have seen it. Not only us, but no one in this city has ever seen this thing before!"
As Hogg said this, his tone and expression showed that he really seemed to be unaware of the situation. Seeing this, Vanya frowned slightly, then thought for a moment before speaking immediately.
"Bishop Hogg, please contact the local security bureau and government immediately to evacuate all the ordinary people on the lakeside back to the lake. Don't let them get close to the lake."
"Yes, I'll go right away." After hearing Vanya's words, Hogg immediately stepped back. Vanya then shifted her gaze to Gaspare beside her and continued speaking.
"Father Gaspare... please organize the guards immediately. Let's go to the lake to conduct reconnaissance and confirm the situation."
"Sister Vanya, the sudden appearance of the church here is really weird. It is very likely to be dangerous if we approach it rashly." Gaspare said worriedly after listening to Vanya's words, and Vanya responded with a firm look.
“It is precisely because this church is so strange that we need to find out where it came from. We must make a preliminary assessment of its danger as soon as possible to confirm whether it is harmful to ordinary people.
"We are the most senior Beyonders here, so we must take responsibility. We need to at least get a general idea of the situation there, and then send a report to Tivian. As long as we move forward carefully, there shouldn't be any problems."
Vanya spoke to Gaspare in a stern tone. Hearing what Vanya said, Gaspare was slightly startled, then nodded hesitantly.
"I see."
