No one knew what happened in the Holy Region. For the countries in the secular world, what they could see and touch was worth their attention. The tide of Chaos showed no signs of weakening, but thanks to a certain "miracle", the situation was no longer as precarious as it was a few days ago. Now, the darkness had not receded, but the Sunscorch Tower in every kingdom had been lit up again. The biggest crisis seemed to have passed.
The imperial court of every country was discussing the light that pierced the sky the day before yesterday. Scholars and arcanists argued about the possible causes of this phenomenon, while the kings were more concerned about how long the power of the light could last. The beam of light gradually dissipated after ten minutes, but the mysterious energy it brought had reactivated every dying Sunscorch Tower in a way that mortals could not understand. The scholars could not explain the principle of this recharging. They could only say that it was some kind of divine resonance, and the Sunscorch Tower received temporary energy in the resonance. But as for how long this energy could last … no one knew.
Because the Sunscorch Towers of all countries had entered a strange mode of operation after the light shone on them, their original energy monitoring systems had all been burned down. Now the operation of the Sunscorch Towers was completely out of common sense. The maintenance staff of the Sunscorch Towers, who used to be arrogant, could only stare at the control circles that were down.
While the entire secular world was busy discussing the source of the light, the source of the light was in a state of chaos.
A third of White City had to be relocated. The consequences of the 'Light Eclipse' were being evaluated anxiously. Countless magic items and facilities had been destroyed by the blast of the energy explosion. The good news was that there were no casualties, but the bad news was that the entire city was stunned by the incident. Even the king and all the administrative officials were stunned. Nobody knew how to explain the incident for the time being.
In addition, there was no typo in the phrase "the entire city was dumbfounded".
Hao Ren, the king's family, and Alfred the Grand Secretary stood on the top platform of the Palace of the Golden Roses, looking at the high ground in the north of the city. That was where the Sunscorch Tower used to be. In fact, the tower was still standing on the high ground, but … it was in a strange state.
With the tower as the center, the area within a radius of many kilometers was a bit strange.
Large pieces of transparent structures covered the tower and the ground as if these places were invisible. The transparent areas had no fixed shape. They were randomly distributed, with the smallest being only the size of a palm, and the largest almost the size of a house. These transparent areas were not fixed. They moved around the Sunscorch Tower and the high ground as if they were alive.
From a distance, it seemed that the Sunscorch Tower and its surrounding areas had become fragmented. Some areas had disappeared out of thin air, and the areas that had disappeared were constantly moving.
In addition, the Sunscorch Tower and its surrounding areas were shrouded in a faint layer of white light, which was much brighter than the shimmer released by the tower before. But in this situation, no one cared about this little anomaly anymore.
Hao Ren remembered what had happened before. When he poured the excessive amount of pure lifeblood into the energy pool of the Sunscorch Tower, the power of the lifeblood was released in an instant. The power of the goddess of creation was poured into the mortal device, and the direct result was that it permanently changed the rules of an area. When the white light flashed, there were no casualties, but many strange phenomena occurred.
The state of the Sunscorch Tower was one of these phenomena. Scholars called this phenomenon "Light Eclipse."
"The arcanists think that the phenomenon of Light Eclipse is a kind of phase deflection," Ania said softly. "This area has undergone a phase change under the influence of the divine power, causing the entire area to continuously switch between different phases. The transparent matter has not been sent away, but we can't see it anymore. They can still be touched."
"Nonsense." Rudolph III knocked on the air in front of him, but there was a slight knocking sound in the air. It was the balcony railing, but they could not see it for the time being. "I can see it myself."
While the king was talking, the transparent range of the Palace of the Golden Roses was also moving. The outline of the iron railing appeared in front of him from left to right. Veronica immediately put her hand on the railing and then sighed softly.
Hao Ren just smiled awkwardly and said nothing. After all, he was 100% responsible for the current situation.
Ania shook her head and continued, "The energy shock has destroyed many magic devices in the city. The mages are working overtime to repair the damaged things. More and more residents are leaving the northern city. The Light Eclipse has seriously affected their daily lives. Lord Wales is so busy that he has complained to me and Uncle Luhn more than once."
The king nodded and turned to look at Alfred the Grand Secretary. "Have you found out about the other hazards of the Light Eclipse?"
The Grand Secretary shook his head. He knew what the king was concerned about. "No actual harm has been observed, Your Majesty. At present, we only know that it causes changes in metals and rocks, making them transparent, but it has no effect on creatures and biological products. This seems to be just an optical phenomenon, but … it is an optical phenomenon that cannot be explained. "
Hao Ren coughed twice. "Ahem, I'm sorry. It seems that I have caused you a lot of trouble?"
Rudolph III immediately waved his hand and looked at Hao Ren sincerely. "No, compared to the benefits, this trouble is really nothing. At least you have guaranteed the survival of our kingdom. The Sunscorch Tower has indeed been reignited, although … it is in a strange state."
The Sunscorch Tower had been reignited, which was why Hao Ren could still stand here after triggering the divine explosion. Although the cause of the side effect of the Light Eclipse had not been investigated, at least his guess about the effect of the lifeblood was not far off. The energy in the lifeblood had indeed reactivated the tower, and not only that, but the power of the tower had also been greatly enhanced.
The news from around White City had already been placed on Rudolph III's desk. The news mentioned that the Spire of Flames and furnace devices had been doubled after the flash that night. Now they were all working with unprecedented efficiency, which meant that the Barrier of Order of the Kingdom of Taros had been doubled out of thin air.
In the face of such good news, Rudolph III, of course, would not take a 'small optical phenomenon' to heart.
"Let the scholars continue to study. The king should focus on the affairs of the kingdom." Rudolph III finally sighed and turned to leave the terrace. The others followed behind him.
When they came to the steps of the terrace, the transparent area of the Palace of the Golden Roses had changed again. This time, it was the stairs that had become transparent.
The group of people looked at each other. In the end, it was Grand Scholar Alfred who bit the bullet and walked in front. The rest of them held on to the invisible wall and walked down step by step. Veronica muttered as she walked, "This place is really unlivable. Father, when are we going to move?"
"Don't make a fuss. How can the royal family of Taros be challenged like this?"
"But father, you have hit the wall three times in the morning."
Rudolph III was speechless.
"He even broke a door."
Rudolph III was speechless.
Hao Ren walked at the back. He did not care when the king and his family would move. He was just thinking about the reason for the phenomenon in front of him. Everything had its own logic, even supernatural things like the lifeblood. In fact, because it was the lifeblood, the phenomenon caused by it should be more in line with the laws of the universe in the Plane of Dreams, because the true god represented the laws of the universe.
While Hao Ren was thinking, something strange suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.
He looked up in surprise and saw a silver-white metal plate floating in the air next to him. The metal plate seemed to be a corner of a table on the Petrachelys, and on the metal plate, Rollie was staring at him blankly.
The cat maiden was holding a half-opened can of fish in her hand. Looking at her sneaky posture, it was as if she was stealing food. She stared at Hao Ren as if she had seen a ghost.
"Rollie?!" Hao Ren could not help but cry out in surprise.
The dumb cat seemed to be startled too. She jumped up and then pressed her can of fish tightly. "Meow meow meow meow meow?"
The movement here finally alerted Veronica, who was walking in front. The princess looked back curiously. "Guardian? Who are you talking to? "
With that interruption, Rollie's figure and the image of the small corner of the table disappeared.
Hao Ren blinked and came back to his senses after a long while. Facing the curious gaze of Veronica and others, he shook his head. "It's okay. I might have been hallucinating. This place is really weird now. "
