Chapter Thirty-Seven: One Month

With Ryan a month away from being invaded by the Breath of Perdition, almost everyone was methodically waiting for the destruction of the world. What's more, they are already waiting for death. The Empire has finally failed to find a way to defend itself against the Breath of Destruction, and now, it is time to prepare to leave.

In the 30 days to go, Douglas gathered all the Grand Arcanists for a meeting. According to the relevant plan of the Hope, when this is not possible, the Hope should leave Ryan more than half a month in advance to get enough time to escape. And the Grand Arcanist should also decide whether to board the Floating City and prepare to leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's only been a month since the Breath of Perdition was breached. Unfortunately, Ryan didn't find a way to save it in the end. As Speaker, I believe that I have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"But now is not the time to give up, Ryan's fire needs to continue. I've gathered you here today to discuss this matter. Of course, I think all Grand Arcanists will survive this catastrophe. But Ryan's order still needs to be maintained, and the pumping plan needs to be carried out until the last minute, according to the calculations. We'll have at least seven Grand Arcanists left to barely make it to a month. ”

"Of course, I'll stay. There are still 88 Grand Arcanists in the Empire, which means that only 81 will end up on the Hope. Now, there are still those who have volunteered to stay. With that, Douglas looked at everyone in the audience.

"I don't think this kind of thing can do without me." Alvin said.

"Take on the role of Alvin." Douglas said with a smile.

"I'm old, so I'm not going to the astral plane." Korn said.

"Wise as Cohen." Douglas said to Korne.

"No, wisdom should be like Morris. So I decided to stay and fight for the name of wisdom. Morris said, standing up.

"Maurice, neither you nor any of you in the resting place can attend. You are Ryan's hope for a rise again, and strive to incorporate the Breath of Perdition into the Empire's arcane system as soon as possible, so that Ryan will not find himself in such a predicament again. Douglas rejected Morris's offer.

Morris wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Sean.

"Looks like I'm going to have to fight again before I die." Wayne stood up and said. Wayne is the leader of the remnants of the Third Arcane Empire, and he is the one who proposed to contribute the Energies to the remnants of the Third Arcane Empire into the Fourth Arcane Empire. At this juncture, the group needed to leave one more Grand Arcanist to prove themselves.

"Sophia, you have to remember. The study of demon fighters cannot be abandoned, and that is the way mages should fight. Without waiting for Douglas to interject, Wayne continued.

"Teacher! I'll take it to heart. Sophia replied.

"Righteousness is like Wayne." Douglas said.

"I don't think I can do without this time." Brown said, standing up.

"Tough as Brown." Douglas nodded.

"I didn't expect to die twice, it's an amazing experience." Nelson said.

"Sacrifice like Nelson." Douglas said. Douglas's pun elicited a chuckle, but it also brought out more sighs.

"It felt abrupt, but I still wanted to ask. Can this kind of thing take me? Andrel stood up and said, "Although it seems like self-isolation from the kingdom of God, I think the Lord will bless me." ”

"Okay, make up the numbers like Andrelle." Douglas said. Orbis had always wanted to learn more about Breath of the Sunken, and the Empire had been wary of that. Now is the best chance.

"You can't say that, I can do something." Andrel said.

"Well, fearless as Andrel." Douglas changed his tune.

"Then, the six Grand Arcanist-level candidates who stayed behind have been decided. Counting me is enough. Next, we discuss the issue of leadership aboard the Hope. I want Blair to be the head of Ryan's empire in exile. Do you agree? Douglas asked.

According to the Parliamentary Research Institute, the Hope should be headed by a FΓΌhrer system to maintain sufficient mobility and efficiency. Only in this way can we make a decision in the rapidly changing astral realm. And yesterday Douglas also talked to Blair about this issue in private, so Blair didn't stand up just now.

In fact, there has been a long time of speculation among the Grand Arcanist community about who the leader of the Hope is, and Blair is the second most popular candidate after Douglas. So it's no surprise to everyone.

Now Douglas has a vague intention of exchanging his stay for Blair's leadership on the Hope. But that's just insurance. No one is more suitable than Blair, young enough, strong enough, prestigious enough. So soon this decision was adopted. And Blair's eyes in the audience were as red as his hair at this time.

Soon, the meeting on the flight ended. Those who stayed began to prepare to defend the Quartet, and those who were ready to leave began to transfer supplies. Douglas, on the other hand, began to prepare to mobilize Ryan's people to flee.

"Ryan's people, I'm ashamed that I'm still talking to you. I'm even more ashamed that the empire still failed to save Ryan, and I have disappointed everyone's expectations. ”

"It's only two months left before the Breath of Din invades Ryan. However, the power system of the Drift Chamber does not allow for the turbulence caused by Breath of Destruction's attack on Ryan. So if you want to leave Ryan with a drifting cabin, please leave Ryan as soon as possible, no later than two weeks. In other words, if you have to leave a month and a half before the Breath of Destruction breaks through Ryan, otherwise there is a possibility that you will be drawn into the Breath of Destruction again even in the Astral Plane. ”

"The relevant escape manuals have been distributed to everyone. Please also do not load games such as "Demon Fighting Legend" or other energy-consuming facilities in the Drifting Warehouse, otherwise the Drifting Warehouse may not be able to persist in drifting to the Resource Star or the Land of Hope. ”

"Demon Fight" is a small game simulated with the help of the Breath of Destruction accidentally discovered in the Resting Place. Through some devices, the user can be conscious of fighting or exploring outside the body. There are quite a few people who plan to install a set of drifting warehouses in their own rafting warehouses to pass the time. But this thing is horribly expensive, and it's not a good idea to stay conscious while drifting in the astral plane for long periods of time.

The Land of Hope is the civilized world discovered by the Institute of Parliament. The parliament has never given an official name, so it is customary to call it the 'Land of Hope'.

"And if you want to leave through the dark side splinter drift, please report to the city hall where you are located in the past two weeks, and the city hall will give detailed instructions. Rest assured, we didn't succeed in saving Ryan, but at least we didn't give up on everyone......"

Douglas's speech continued. With his speech, Ryan's people officially gave up on saving their home planet and began to prepare to flee.

Another month in the middle of the sky, the Taiyin star simulated by the floating city is big and round. But this also sets off the dim real yin star next to it is particularly dim. Douglas finished his day's work and wondered if he wanted to make the Floating City less bright at night. Sometimes it's hard to see clearly.

To his surprise, Andrel was waiting for him in the reception room of the Parliament building.

"Andrel, what a surprise, even more than your decision to stay today. What made you decide to stay? Douglas asked.

"Actually, I just want to ask, I'm Andrel without fear. So what are you, everyone who stays has a similar title, and it's all you. What do you call yourself? Andreil asked with a smile.

"How about the hapless Douglas. Or the helpless Douglas. Douglas responded. Today's decision to flee is barely settled. Douglas's desperate heart is now much more relaxed.

"Sounds apt. Unlucky Douglas. ”

The two old men chatted and walked for a while, and then went home separately.
