Chapter 448: Heaven's Fall

The airship slowly landed at Moya Castle. Without waiting for the airship to stop, Hei Suo anxiously opened the hatch and walked down hurriedly.

Because of the work of the Chamber of Commerce, he had to inspect everywhere, so when he received the letter from Pope Andrew, there were only ten days left before the deadline required by the other party.

He immediately boarded the airship and rushed here from the Kingdom of Arathi without stopping. He had only two days at most for negotiations.

Within two days, he had to negotiate a result and then use the fastest airship to return to the church's secret base in person to send back the message before the night of the red moon.

Butler Lord came up and bowed, saying:

"Mr. Blacksole, we meet again."

He was curious. The other party had just come here more than ten days ago, and now he came again with a hurried look as if he was about to be chased by a vicious dog. He didn't know what he was doing.

"Hello, butler. I have something important to discuss with Lord Klauen. Can you please inform him for me?"

"Your Excellency came at a bad time. Yesterday the bishop ordered the Silver Dawn Guard to seal off the main castle of the manor and forbid anyone from entering."

"Ah?!" Hei Suo was stunned and asked hurriedly:

"What happened?"

Lord shook his head, “The bishop didn’t say anything, but no one is allowed to enter.

Now the bishop's tamed beast Fokine is guarding the sky above the castle, Arcturus is guarding the main gate, and with the patrolling members of the Silver Dawn, not even a fly can enter the castle."

"I am carrying a secret letter from His Majesty Andre. I would like to ask the butler to inform me. The matter is extremely urgent and cannot wait!"

Hei Suo bowed deeply, his body bent at a right angle.

"Sir, please get up quickly. I don't deserve your kindness." Lord hurriedly supported the other party and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't.

I don't know why the bishop did this, but I know that even if the lady comes back now, she will not be allowed to enter the main castle."

The butler recalled the bishop's serious expression and the words he said in a decisive tone: 'Seal the main castle, no one is allowed to enter until I lift the ban! Even if the sky is about to fall and I don't show up to announce the dissolution, the blockade must be maintained.'

He had never seen the bishop look so serious, and of course he did not dare to violate the ban.

Although the bishop did not say what the punishment would be for violations, he knew it would be severe.

"Mr. Lord, my matter is really urgent. Can you please shout outside the main castle and tell them that I have an urgent letter from His Majesty Andrew asking to see the bishop?

Whether the bishop is willing to see me or not, I am extremely grateful, and Hei Suo will remember your kindness."

As he spoke, Hei Sui took out a small exquisite cloth bag from his space ring, weighed it, and then handed it to the butler: "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect. No matter what the outcome is, it has been a great help."

Hearing the crisp "ding-dong" sound coming from the cloth bag, Lord realized that it contained golden spirit coins.

Judging from the size of the cloth bag and how dry it was, he could guess that there were no less than a hundred Golden Spirit Coins inside.

Instead of taking the bag, he pushed it back:

"Sir, I'm sorry. The area within 100 meters of the main castle is a restricted area. I really can't help you."

Hei Suo grabbed his already thin hair tightly and said anxiously:

"You just said that the lady is not in the castle. Where did she go? When will she be back?"

Since he couldn't see the real owner, he could only use roundabout means to solve the problem. In addition, he thought that maybe Eliza could also make the decision on the issue of the magic circle, although the chance was slim.

"Last time you left Moya Castle, Madam left. I don't know where she went, and I have no idea when she will return."

Lord shook his head and said, of course he knew where the mistress had gone, but why did he tell outsiders? ! Hei Suo was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.

After a moment, he came back to his senses, smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Butler, can you arrange for someone to take me to the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce? I will wait for two days.

If it would be better to wait until the Bishop or his wife, please remember to let me know.

If I can't wait, I will set off to report to His Majesty."

As he said this, he still handed over the cloth bag containing the Golden Spirit Coins: "Sir, please don't refuse."

"I agree to this," Lord nodded slightly.

Two days later, Hei Suo left with a lonely look on his face. In the end, he didn't wait for the person he wanted to meet.

The sky was filled with setting sun, and in the distance a row of gray geese were flying forward in a V-shaped formation.

Anti walked into the observation room of the airship with small steps, bent his knees slightly and said, "Madam, I just asked the captain of the airship, and we will be able to reach Hammers City in two days at most."

"Yeah, okay. I can't wait to get home."

Eliza smiled and nodded, then said, "We have only been away from home for a month and five days. I don't know why, but I really miss the hanging basket where I could sit and watch the sunset, and the reclining chair where I could look up at the stars."

Including the two days estimated by the airship captain, the trip from Hamers to the Kingdom of Budamia took about twenty days.

It took thirteen days to build four Moon Soul Light Arrays and a Sun and Moon Altar. Two days were spent on socializing in the Kingdom of Budamia. She had been away from Moya Castle for a full thirty-five days.

Freya quipped, "You're not just missing the hanging basket and the lounge chair, are you?"

"You're asking for a fight," Eliza deliberately frowned and raised her fist.

The two of them played together like children, and the viewing room was filled with laughter. Andy stepped aside and lowered his head to hold back his laughter.

"Hmm, hmm," someone outside the door coughed twice.

Eliza stopped playing around and said, "Come in."

A guard came in, bowed slightly and said, "Madam, it will be dark soon. The airship captain asked me to close the windows here and prepare to activate the magic circle to resist the gray fog.

Tonight is the night of the red moon, we must be prepared. "

"Okay," Eliza nodded slightly and turned around and said, "Let's go and enjoy dinner."

The guards immediately stood aside and made way.

After they left, the guard went to close the window. He saw the blood-red setting sun and frowned slightly:

"Strange, why do I have a bad feeling?"

"Haha," he laughed, ignored this inexplicable intuition, and closed the window.

Soon after, the gray fog swallowed up the last ray of sunlight, and a layer of frost quickly condensed on the skin of the airship flying at low altitude.

Airship Captain Renekton keenly noticed the changes in the airship and his brows immediately frowned.

He has performed many night flight missions and has rich experience.

In late autumn, when the airship was flying at an altitude of 300 meters above the ground, there should be no ice formation. Today's abnormality made him alert.

The ice on the airship cannot be left alone, otherwise as the ice layer continues to thicken, it will greatly affect the speed of the airship. What's worse, it may cause the airship to crash.

The airship captain immediately activated the de-icing array, and the ice covering the skin quickly melted.

He watched as the energy reserves in the airship decreased at twice the rate of normal, and his vigilance increased.

Renekton stood up from his chair and said to his assistant:

"I'll be out for a while. Please observe the status of the airship carefully. If there is still ice on the skin, remember to remove it."

"Okay, Captain," the assistant readily accepted the order. He was happy to have the opportunity to fly the airship alone.

Renekton walked out of the cockpit, entered the restaurant, found Eliza, and then bowed and said, "Madam, the airship encountered some minor problems. I decided to terminate the flight tonight and find a sheltered area to hover."

There is no city within hundreds of kilometers to dock. The airship is currently flying in the wild. According to safety operating regulations, it is absolutely not allowed to dock directly in the wild.

If they encountered a powerful monster or demon that caused irreparable damage to the airship, they would have no choice but to walk back.

"What happened?"

"Ice has inexplicably begun to form on the skin of the airship. This would not normally happen, because at our current flight altitude, the conditions for ice formation are definitely not met. I suspect there is an unknown influence."

Eliza ate the last bite of steak, wiped her mouth gracefully, and said:

"Do you think that there have been unknown changes in the area we are currently traveling in, or is there some other reason?"

"I think it's because of the special nature of today," Renekton nodded gently and continued, "Nowadays, there are always a lot of inexplicable changes on the night of the red moon. Normally, we try to avoid flying missions on the night of the red moon."

Eliza thought for a moment and replied:

"You have a lot of experience, so let's follow your ideas. If there's anything I need your cooperation, tell me."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She often heard her husband say that laymen should not lead professionals. The issue of night flight of airships was not an area she was familiar with, so of course she had to rely on the more experienced airship captain.

"Okay," Renekton felt relieved. He was most afraid that the superiors would not understand and be self-righteous. Now he no longer has this concern.

He bowed again and said:

"Ma'am, I will take my leave first. I will ask you for help when I need it."

He left the restaurant, walked quickly back to the cab, and asked:

"How is the situation? Has the icing phenomenon appeared again?"

The assistant nodded: “Yes, there is another one, and the magic circle is performing de-icing operations.

Airship Captain, today is too weird. I remember that when I flew with you last winter, we didn’t encounter such continuous icing. "

Renekton's heart sank, and he said:

"Keep your eyes on the control console and reduce your flight speed. I'll check the map to see if there's a suitable place to hover."

He began to look at the map carefully, first confirming the approximate current location of the airship and finding a suitable sheltered area.

After a while, he found several alternative areas.

The red moon was silent, penetrating the thick gray fog. All things on the vast earth were submerged in a sea of ​​blood.

In the city of Blaye, a soldier on the city wall spit out the cigarette he was holding, buttoned his collar, and muttered:

"This is so fucking weird. Why do I feel so cold today?"

The temperature at night has dropped since entering autumn, but after being illuminated by the bright sun all day, it is only now night in Guingamp, and the residual heat of the earth should not dissipate so quickly.

The bearded soldier next to him nodded in agreement: "I think so too. I almost froze my eagle when I went to pee just now."

"You? Eagle? You're just a sparrow at best!"

"Get out!" The bearded man angrily pushed the other aside.

St. Peter's Basilica, the small study next to the Pope's Palace.

Arthur paced back and forth in the room a little irritated. He felt uneasy tonight, but he couldn't find where this feeling came from.

As a fifth-level extraordinary person, he trusts his intuition very much, and he is destined to be unable to sleep before finding the reason.

What he didn't know was that many high-level transcendents in the city were feeling uneasy at this moment.

Time ticked by, and an hour passed. Arthur's uneasiness not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.

At this moment, he heard a noise coming from far away outside, which made him feel even more irritated.

He was about to open the door and go out to see what was going on when he heard crazy hammering on the door.

"Your Majesty, please come out and take a look! Something big has happened!"

It was the voice of his valet Wells, with a tremor and a tone full of panic.

Arthur's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rushed to the door and opened it: "What happened?"

"You'll know if you go outside and take a look."

The Pope pushed his attendants aside and rushed outside. When he rushed out, he was immediately stunned.

The gray fog in the sky continued to dissipate, revealing a scarlet full moon hanging high in the sky.

When people stand under the light that seems to emit a bloody smell, they immediately feel like they are being stared at by a monster.

A huge black and red shadow appeared between the city and the full moon in the sky.

In the shadows, there seemed to be many deformed and distorted shadows flashing.

The shadow slowly approached the ground, and Arthur found that it completely covered the entire city.

'What is this?'

He had no idea what this huge shadow was, but as it approached, he began to feel a huge pressure pressing down on him.

Arthur forgot to breathe and felt that every pore was trembling. His head felt as if someone had hit him with a club secretly, and he felt dizzy.

The attendant following behind him was even more unbearable. He had already collapsed on the ground, and the sweat on his forehead was like dense raindrops, gathering into a stream and flowing down.

The noise in the city came to an abrupt end as the shadow approached. Everyone outside stared in shock at the approaching shadow. They wanted to escape but they felt as if their legs did not belong to them and they were unable to move them.

The light shield of the protective magic circle covering the city suddenly lit up. It was the people in the magic circle control room who adjusted the power of the magic circle to maximum.

The people in the city suddenly felt the pressure relieved, and noises, cries, and calls for help were heard.

Arthur turned around and ran towards the Pope's Palace. He had a hunch that when the shadow touched the magic circle, it would be the end of the city.

He had to overload the magic circle to have a chance of survival.

As soon as the Pope stepped out, he saw a despairing scene in the sky.

Twisted black lines appeared on the originally clear light shield of the protective magic circle. The lines quickly increased in number. Within a few seconds, the entire light shield was swallowed up by the black color and then disappeared.

The huge pressure suppressed everyone's movements again. The shadow in the sky suddenly accelerated and fell down like a meteor, as if the sky was falling.

Arthur roared, struggling to break free from the huge pressure, but in his eyes, he saw the shadow "burning" and turning into a huge black and red fireball, falling towards the city, with St. Peter's Basilica at the center of the fall.

"Hahaha, my descendants, thank you for building the magic circle to help me locate the position of the material plane. I will burn you to ashes and merge you into one with me!"

The distorted sound echoed in the sky and spread in all directions.

The 'fireball' lit up Arthur's eyes, passed through his body, and then his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
