Norma frowned, her eyes serious.
Last time, at least the weather bureau could find some clues.
Such as magical chaos, elemental upheavals in the distant seas, and the giant beasts gathering on the sea surface.
But this time, nothing could be found?
The magic was stable, and the elements showed no signs of disturbance.
how so?
She stood there stunned, her mind blank, unable to gather her thoughts for a moment.
How should we study these kinds of weather changes that happen without any warning?
"Director, based on our detailed observations, this patch of night is unrelated to weather elements."
"It doesn't seem like a weather phenomenon; it's more like some unknown force."
"We should be able to trace its origin by looking in the direction it spreads."
Upon hearing this, Norma nodded quickly, and considering that the other person couldn't see her movements, she quickly added:
"Okay, let's continue with the in-depth research."
Upon receiving the order, the mages mobilized and poured their magic into the device.
In an instant, the sound of the equipment running echoed in the meteorological bureau's reconnaissance room.
Norma listened to the faint sound coming from the side and sighed.
Norma listened intently to the subtle sound and sighed softly.
There was a bitter feeling of powerlessness in my heart.
She recalled that during the tenure of previous directors, Braxton remained stable for decades without any unusual weather events.
So the other person worked steadily until retirement age.
How come she's only been in office for a year and has already encountered this twice?
Moreover, the sudden arrival of this darkness came without any prior clue.
While she was still troubled, a monk cautiously approached and handed her an urgent communication document:
"Chief, this is an urgent message from the Royal Mage Corps of the Capital."
"This dark cloud is spreading from Brighton to the capital at an alarming rate, and it continues to expand in all directions."
"At the current rate, I'm afraid that the entire empire will soon be covered by this darkness."
Upon hearing the monk's report, Norma was stunned, her eyes widening in shock.
Her eyes widened in shock.
Will the entire empire be shrouded in this mysterious darkness?
Did I hear that right?
She realized the seriousness of the matter almost instantly.
This mysterious darkness, if it only ravaged Braxton and the capital...
Even if it affects residents' daily lives and economic development, it's just a few annoying minor issues.
but!
The Braxton Weather Bureau's monitoring range actually covered the entire Empire, including both the northern and southern frontiers.
Therefore, Norma, as the director, was naturally aware of the current state of the Empire's hostile forces.
The northern and southern borders are now at a critical juncture of war.
If this darkness covers the area, wouldn't the soldiers fighting on the front lines be trapped in pitch blackness?
That's not just bad luck, that's downright catastrophic!
Thinking of this, Norma's forehead instantly became covered in a cold sweat of tension.
A flame seemed to ignite within her, burning away her fervent worries.
"Quickly, we must find the source and a solution as soon as possible!"
She gave the order firmly.
"We cannot allow our border guards to be affected!"
Just as Norma made this declaration, a mage casting spells in the darkness suddenly cried out in delight:
"Chief! We've found the source!"
Norma heard the instant cheers and her gaze followed the sound.
"By tracing the spread of the darkness and with the help of magic, we finally found the source of this darkness."
"And the place where this darkness first spread should be... uh?"
The monk hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, Norma couldn't help but stomp her foot impatiently, biting her lip nervously as she said hastily:
"Tell me what it is!"
"Yes, yes!"
The monk hurriedly looked at the celestial sphere and said with increasing disbelief:
"It...is coming from underground?"
"ah?"
