Chapter 68: The Demon Tide
City Solomon, Bishop Observatory.
Chief Bishop of the Holy See for the Astronomical Project, Gregor. Mendel was quickly directing the crowd to closely monitor the data on the Moon.
"The Moon has entered elliptical low-Earth orbit!" When the alarm suddenly started on the screen, Gregor immediately connected to the Holy See, "As the extraplanetary magnetic field increases, the lunar magnetic field is disturbed accordingly, and the orbit begins to change!" ”
"Is the orbit modeled out?" Pope Innocent asked.
"It's out, this time the perixe...... More recent than ever recorded, it is expected to be the largest magic wave in history. ”
"Keep a close watch on the moon." Pope Innocent replied, "Most of the city's electricity supply has been cut off, and your project's energy needs will be met first until the tide begins to rise." ”
"Your Majesty, the ...... Information backup, is it done? ”
"The bishop of the data maintenance center has reported to me that most of the data in the Gabriel database has been engraved by mechanical columns, and the probe reader has been debugged." Innocent said slowly, "You don't have to worry about the historical data of the observatory being destroyed. ”
"That's great, I did an all-night print last night and transcribed all the important data." Bishop Gregor breathed a sigh of relief, "May God bless humanity and scientific and technological civilization. ”
"God willing." Innocent replied.
In the city of Solomon, all the lights have been extinguished, and visitors look at the sky uneasily, as if it is the first time that they have noticed that the city will also experience a power outage.
In the Holy Solomon Empire, a message of instruction from Emperor Otto was sent to the hands of the major noble lords.
The degree of numerical control on the HRE side is even lower, so the influence of the demon tide is not as severe as that of the Holy See. Some noble lords chose to believe in the emperor and dug up the underground cable pipes to wait for replacement, but many more chose to ignore them.
Well, if it's true or not, we'll find out in a few hours.
At the bottom of Mount Olin, the Crusader gunners were reloading their shells, and the observer suddenly said:
"Is the moon bigger today than it used to be?"
"No, I don't." The gunner said casually, his gaze resting on the moon, "Well, it seems to be a bit big." ”
"Like a chest." The observer said.
"It's like an ass when it's bigger." The gunner picked up the stalk, and the two poor men laughed tacitly.
On the top floor of the Olin Tree, a certain mage apprentice took an open box and came to the people of the Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment.
"Please throw all the electronics in there." He said, "When the magic tide is rising, electronic products will spontaneously combust. ”
With Aske taking the lead, the girls reluctantly took out their phones and threw them into the box.
"The watch?" The mage's apprentice's gaze fell on Nola's fair left wrist.
"This one is purely mechanical, clockwork driven." Nora quickly replied.
"Oh." The mage apprentice nodded curiously, completely unaware of how much the watch was worth.
About half an hour later, the box full of electronics was placed in the open space by the mage's apprentice.
Several firefighters were on standby, and fire extinguishers and water cannons were ready.
Once a fire breaks out in the chest, it means that the Demon Tide has officially arrived.
Everyone stared at the box, and the minutes passed.
But nothing happened.
Nola's spirituality suddenly became aware of it and opened up her spiritual vision.
I saw four transparent spirits emerge from the air and slowly fall around the box.
Began to sing some kind of mysterious, unknown, in a song that humans couldn't understand, but for some reason Nora could understand.
The blood moon will set, and the demon tide will rise.
The soldiers fought each other endlessly.
"That's the spirit language." At some point, Apelios was already standing behind her, and said in a deep voice, "The language that acts directly on the spirits. ”
"Are you...... City Lord? Out of the spiritual intuition of the same sequence, Nora realized that the guy in front of her was the high-level ability of the "spirit" sequence, so high that she couldn't understand it.
"See? Those spirits. "Before the arrival of the First Age human colonists, the Syrius Peninsula was the kingdom of the High Elves, and this Tree of Eden was their sacred tree. ”
"Every time the demon tide is about to rise, their sacrifices will climb to the top of the tree and pray in the spirit language that their tribe will survive the chaos after the demon tide rises."
"In other words......" Nora hurriedly looked at the box containing the mobile phone, only to see that a raging fire had already ignited in the box, and the firefighters were spraying it with high-pressure water cannons and fire extinguishing foam.
"This magic tide is more vast and terrifying than any previous demon tide recorded in history......" Apyrius sighed lowly, looking at the clouds under the night sky in the distance.
"It's coming."
————————
The tide is rising!
Asker suddenly felt a loosening of his shackles.
At this moment, the main position has been raised to Lv.10 in the face of the upper limit of the transcendent level.
Then, those transcendent creatures of Lv.5-10, who were originally forced to sleep due to the suppression of the demon tide, should now also wake up and be active.
Asker looked into the sky in the distance and saw what seemed to be countless more points of light under the night.
"That's ......"
"Thorn Bird!" Apperius immediately turned around and ordered, "Open the cage of life!" ”
The mages of the Federation, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly activated the magic circle along with the Olin Tree, and a huge translucent spherical wall immediately emerged, almost enveloping the entire Olin Mountain.
Everyone's minds sank: although it was the order of the city lord, but the life cage was one of the last hole cards, so it was easily played at the beginning?
Desperate for supernatural power, the points of light quickly split in two: one swooping towards the crusader camp below, the other crashing straight into the wall of the cage of life.
At this time, everyone saw that every point of light was a bird covered in needles. Their feathers are bright yellow, dense and grow into pine needle-like shapes, giving them a sharp feel just by looking at them.
"The Thorn Bird, the source of spiritual material for the 'revenge' and 'thunder' sequences." Apperius said lightly, as if talking to himself, and as if he was giving science to everyone in the Blue Sword.
"Their attack methods are mainly pecking and claw tearing, with a small electric current with it, which conducts it into the human body and causes paralysis."
"The ability of the revenge sequence is to inflict the damage on the injured person through a causal connection according to a certain percentage at the same time as the damage is received."
If you hit it, you will be injured, and if you don't fight, you will be paralyzed? So how do you fight?
Such a tricky thought came to the girls' hearts.
"Immortal Phantom Sword." Asker said.
"Not bad." Apperius gave an approving expression, "Immortal Phantom Sword. ”
Outside the cage of life, the thorn birds greedily watched the large number of transcendents inside and were not allowed to enter, and suddenly frantically slammed into the walls of the cage.
Every time they hit the cage, an electric current would rush through the walls of the cages, and many thorn birds would even hit their heads and bleed and slide straight down the walls.
And such injuries are also transmitted to the injured person in large quantities along the causal connection.
Everyone noticed that the trunk of the Eden tree beneath their feet began to tremble, as if they were under some kind of increasing pressure, and gradually began to be overwhelmed.
"The cage of life is going to be untenable." Apperius pressed Peggy's shoulder and said indifferently, "Unleash the Immortal Phantom Sword and divide as many phantoms as possible." ”
"Don't worry about consumption, I'll provide all the spirituality."
