In the wizard's clock tower, all the wizards were studying this strange celestial phenomenon.
It should be noon at normal times, but the sky is still gray.
There's no sign of it getting any brighter, and it's getting even darker...
It's almost dark before dawn?
Griffin took Sean and Celia, two members of the royal family, and quickly walked into the bell tower. He greeted almost every wizard he saw.
Walking up to the upper floor, a witch in white gauze clothes saw Griffin coming back and hurried forward to greet him.
"How's it going? Jasmine."
"We haven't found any clues yet, mentor."
He looked up and glanced at Sean and Seria behind him.
This witch named Jasmine should be Griffin's disciple. Along the way, she said that she had been trying to find out why dawn would not come.
Even at the cost of using any magic to get to the truth!
"These two are Prince Sean and Princess Seria. They came here specifically to inspect the situation."
"Prince Sean!"
Jasmine looked at Sean standing in front of her with a surprised look.
I believe everyone is familiar with the story of this prince, especially since his coming-of-age ceremony was held just over a month ago, and many people still have a deep impression of him.
He hurried forward and saluted.
"No need to be so troublesome." Sean helped the other person up.
A very common look of an ordinary girl from central Adak.
He was tall and well-built, but his skin was rather dark, his hair and pupils were also mainly black, and he wore a pair of large-framed glasses... He looked very much like the teachers Sean had seen in the academy, his level being above Level 8 of the Order, but below Level 9.
"I didn't expect that Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess would come in person."
"Let's talk about this later. I came here to see the observatory. What did you observe?" Sean asked.
Jasmine was stunned at first, probably not expecting Sean to use such professional terms.
Throughout history, many imperial families have focused more on conquest and governance, and few people are interested in these unconventional methods.
"Prince Sean used to be very interested in astronomical phenomena. He wanted to see if this was caused by a solar eclipse," explained Griffin next to him.
Even the word "solar eclipse" can be said, which shows that they have indeed done research.
"Stop talking so much and take me to see it."
Sean has been very anxious. He now knows with a high probability that this phenomenon is probably related to the Golden Group stealing the essence of fire from under the ancient temple.
The scene in my dream also showed several people picking up the Essence of Fire and then being killed by an ugly-looking spider monster.
Once the essence of fire is taken away, the dark matter hidden deep underground can drill out without any worries.
If it really comes to that, the enemy the country will have to face at this moment should be the so-called dark matter.
Sean figured it was some kind of monster.
As long as the enemy appears, we should be able to defeat them with the combat power of so many wizards and knights.
Because before this, his mother had defeated one, although she died in the end, but at least it showed that humans can be enemies with that thing.
At worst...
Sean recalled his time at the Basaran Palace.
If time is frozen again, using Yog-Sothoth's power to control time, it should be possible to launch a counterattack.
Moreover, Sean believed that no matter how powerful the dark creatures under a temple were, they would not be able to destroy the world, otherwise that little bit of fire essence would not be able to stop them.
What really scares me is something else!
Cthugha, the mortal enemy of the dark creatures.
There is no doubt that when he touched the Essence of Fire, the power of [Time Ruler] allowed him to see the other party's figure.
There is a huge star cluster like the sun in the vast universe.
Encased in countless burning flames...
If it appeared in the sky above this world, Sean really wouldn't know how to deal with it.
This is the threat that Jagun, or the entire Adak and even the entire world have to face.
Even the last time Ghroth was summoned, fortunately the other party did not actually come... and the main reason was that the Star of Destruction did not want to come.
I just heard the call.
But this time Cthugha is different, it comes for battle.
If it really appeared.
Sean felt that all countermeasures were in vain!
Humans seem too insignificant in front of the ancient gods. Even if all human wizards were gathered together, their so-called magic would probably be unable to withstand the coming of the heavenly fire.
Besides, how can we find all human wizards in such a short time?
Sean already has the ability to control time and can know many things in advance.
But it's always too late.
It seems as if there is always someone creating these events faster than oneself.
…
Follow Jasmine to the observation deck.
That is the top floor of the entire tower...
With the innate advantage of high-level vision, he can observe the situation of almost the entire capital.
It might be interesting to come here on a sunny day, but the dim environment now makes everyone feel depressed.
This is only the first day...
The army can also be relied upon to suppress public anger.
If it's like this on the second and third day, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble.
"This is where I usually observe the sky, Your Highness." Jasmine introduced to Sean and the others.
The room is a bit messy.
Most of the discarded items were papers with densely written numbers, times, and even calculation formulas.
This is a great discovery!
Even in a world dominated by magical energy, the seeds of technology are growing little by little in the cracks.
"Did you do all this yourself?" Sean looked at the other person.
Jasmine nodded.
"Yes, but it's just some personal hobby."
"This is no small hobby. Your research direction is very interesting... I should have met you earlier." Sean's words also flattered Jasmine who was standing beside him.
But Seria was not so happy.
In the eyes of the princess, if the prince always shows kindness to outsiders, he probably wants to win people's hearts.
"Brother, let's finish this as soon as possible and tell father."
Sean glanced at the younger sister.
I don't even bother to hide my emotions...
The relationship between the princes has become like this.
"You're right. We should first look at the current situation."
I walked into the room and saw two telescopes placed on the balcony.
…………
The sky is dark.
But beyond the darkness lies a more brilliant starry sky, and beneath that brilliant appearance lie more unknown fears.
