Dalit, a worker in the glass workshop, put down the blowpipe in his hand and left the sweat-filled factory with his colleagues. Under the light of the street lamps, they walked towards the tavern together.
Along the way, a dozen workers kept complaining about the parliament's universal literacy policy in recent months, which not only reduced their working hours from eleven hours a day to nine hours, but also reduced their wages by about 20%.
Instead, every weekday morning there was a two-hour basic literacy class that cost one silver coin per month and no one was allowed to miss it.
For Dalit, attending classes was much more difficult than working. Those messy numbers and symbols gave him a headache. After studying for several weeks, he still couldn't understand the basic knowledge that the wizards taught him.
Fortunately, the night is their own time. They can temporarily forget about the scorching heat in the workshop and those headache-inducing formulas and have a few drinks...
But today seemed to be little Lucy's birthday. Dalit suddenly thought of his daughter and immediately thought about what gift he should buy when he passed by the store later.
Just as Dalit was thinking about how to give his baby daughter a surprise, he suddenly bumped into the person in front of him. It turned out that several workers in front of him stopped abruptly, with expressions of horror on their faces.
"What's wrong?" Dalit asked in confusion.
"The streets, houses and so many people suddenly disappeared just now..." A laborer pointed ahead in horror and stammered, almost wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes.
"How is that possible? Are you exhausted?" Dalit sneered. You know, this is the most prosperous area in the capital and also the most heavily guarded place in the entire kingdom.
I heard from the wizards that even a fly flying in from outside would be detected by the magic barrier covering the royal capital, so it is extremely safe.
However, when Dalit turned around and looked in the direction his fellow workers were pointing, the mocking expression on his face suddenly turned into a look of horror.
He was very familiar with this road as he passed by it every day on his way to and from get off work. Dalit clearly remembered that after coming out of the workshop, there was an alley where his favorite Blackthorn Tavern was located. Behind it was the Grand Square, which was also the most prosperous place in the capital.
But now the alley has disappeared...
It was not a disappearance in the sense of being emptied, demolished, or destroyed, but it suddenly disappeared as several workers had said. The Royal Capital Square, which was originally separated by an alley, now appeared directly in front of them.
If he had not just passed by this street this morning, Dalit would have suspected that he was too old and his memory was wrong.
The workers who witnessed the disappearance of the streets were so frightened that they fell to the ground. The previous second they were facing the familiar streets, and the next second they were in the square.
Is it an illusion? Or magic? Or is it that some wizard is playing a joke on them...
However, Dalit quickly rejected this idea because there were a lot of people in the square, and many of them witnessed the disappearance of the street like them. There was even a couple who were traveling together, one of them walked into the street, while the other stayed in the square, watching their other half disappear in front of them, and now they were looking for him/her everywhere like crazy.
The parliament's reaction was undoubtedly quick. Within just twenty seconds of the riot, wizards in golden and red robes rushed in from all directions, blocking and isolating the place.
An area of several hundred meters in radius disappeared directly, and even a legendary wizard like himself could not detect the slightest clue. Even the magic barrier covering and monitoring the royal capital did not give any warning.
After hesitating for a moment, Sanchez asked someone to try to pass through the area, and the result was very smooth, and no one disappeared.
Sanchez's brows suddenly furrowed, and he walked to the middle of the city square and the industrial area in person. He expanded his field, but gained nothing. Everything in front of him was so harmonious. If he hadn't remembered the planning of the royal capital, he would have begun to doubt whether this street really existed, as if the engineers of the royal capital had designed it this way from the beginning.
This must be some kind of magic designed into the dimension... Sanchez thought of it immediately.
"Mr. Speaker, I suspect this matter may be related to that person..." a great wizard hurriedly reminded.
Sanchez nodded. He certainly had not forgotten that Lin En's residence was nearby. Moreover, this happened just after he came back today. He would never believe it was just a coincidence.
Only God can do such incredible things.
But generally speaking, if the Magic Star wanted to do something in the royal capital, he should have given advance warning, but now no news has been sent back.
This made Sanchez feel vaguely uneasy. Just as he was about to send someone to inform Harov and others, he saw dozens of streams of light flying towards him from a distance.

It seems that there is no need for this...
But it’s true, with such a huge mistake happening in the core of the royal capital, no one can sit still.
…
On the other side, in the streets of the royal capital that had inexplicably disappeared, a carpenter who had just come out of the tavern and was about to go home saw the glaring Black Thorn sign again after walking for a while. He was stunned for a moment and began to wonder if he was drunk, otherwise how could there be two Black Thorn taverns in the royal capital.
As time went by, more and more citizens of the kingdom on the street had discovered something was wrong. In the past, this street was only a few hundred meters long and the end could be seen at a glance, but this time it was different. No matter which way they walked, they could not get out of this street, as if they were trapped in a strange maze.
Lin En, who was also in the room, had left his house and was suspended in the sky, staring at the gradually chaotic scene below. He didn't expect that his actions had actually separated the entire area and formed an independent space.
It was like folding a corner of a paper page in half, forming two areas inside and outside the page. For low-dimensional beings, this part of the folded space disappeared in front of them, as if it had never existed...
