Since the five floating cities of the Fourth Arcane Empire were built one after another, the development of the empire has entered a high-speed period, with mid-level and high-level Arcanists constantly emerging, and there have also been three top Grand Arcanists in the past five years. It is believed that as long as the empire passes the next wave again, the empire will enter a long period of rapid development.

According to the observation of the Eye of the World, the Demon Tide will erupt in the next two years and stop completely within five years.

"Teacher, I still think there are some problems with the last few astrological observations. These data are too different from the usual Magic Tide data. I think we should be more observant. Korn's disciple, Harold, the Nine-Ring Arcanist, spoke to Korn.

Harold and Cohen had been observing the Tower for three years, and they both found the Magic Wave to be unusual, as the volatility coefficient of the Aspect was more chaotic than before, but the intensity of the fluctuations was the same or even lower than before.

However, with the initial completion of the Arcane Empire's air-space integration, Korn is not as worried as before. He's a remnant of the Third Reich, so he's well aware of just how powerful the Floating City really is. The next wave of magic he didn't think was a big problem.

"Harold, you know, Ryan's position is very low right now. It's not even as good as it was in the Third Reich. So the tide may be affected by this. I'll respond to the House and tell them to step up their monitoring. But I don't think that's very promising, so it's likely that we're going to be busy in the next few years. Korn looked at his disciple and said with a smile. In another three months, the first wave of the demon tide should be coming. Let's do some of the current preparations first. ”

After three months. The Eye of the World Tower has released a specific date for the first wave of the Magic Tide: April 5th.

Soon, in the careful preparation of the people of Ryan, the day came.

"Cohen, your observation is not wrong, how much difference do you think this magic tide is compared to the past?" Speaker Douglas asked Cohen.

On this very day, the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Imperial House of Lords visited the Astrological Tower. Korn discusses issues related to the Demonic Tide. Cohen's proposal for how special this Tide is has been sent to the Council many times. Although the Council has a hunch that this time the Demon Tide will be more special than before, the Council is still reluctant to tilt its scarce resources towards the Aspect Tower. At this time, the first priority of the empire had just been separated from the construction of the floating city, and it was in a period of adjustment, so the council did not make any big decisions.

"Your Excellency, according to my speculation, the first wave of this demon tide may be very violent, and after the main impact, there may be several secondary shocks of varying intensity. And I don't think the Empire's precautions against secondary shocks are perfect. Korn took advantage of this rare opportunity to speak to Douglas.

"The empire is in a period of ruin, and this magic wave will have a huge impact on the development of the future empire. Therefore, the council will definitely attach great importance to it, Master Korne, please rest assured. Let's take a look at the first wave of the Demon Tide first. In the end, Douglas did not give a clear answer.

"The first wave of the demon tide should be coming soon, everyone get ready." Seeing that Douglas didn't give the answer he wanted, Cohen had to say helplessly.

Five minutes later, the communication network inside the Astrological Tower came with the news of the No. 3 Floating City External Observation Tower.

"The first wave of the Magic Tide has just passed here, and the first wave of the Magic Tide Impact has just passed here. The preliminary observation results show that the impact strength of the magic tide is 8.4, the stability is 2.1, and there is no effective waveform detection result. Repeat ......"

Korn frowned as a sizzling message came from the communication circle. He opened his mouth to suggest to Douglas, "Your Excellency, in the previous 500,000 years of monitoring, there have never been such a stable Demon Tide impact, and I think the next secondary impact may have a very big impact on us. ”

It was only then that Douglas realized that things might be more serious than he thought, and for the first time he felt that things were out of his control.

"Master Cohen, how do you think this situation should be handled, please rest assured, the Empire will do its best to ensure the stability and peace of Ryan." Douglas said to Cohen.

"This is the Eye of the World Tower, and this is the Eye of the World Tower. The Aspect Towers of the First to Fifth Floating Cities are requested to continue to monitor the impact of the next Demon Tide and take precautions against possible impacts in this life. Repeat ......" Korn commanded the Aspect Tower in Floating City. However, at this time, the Floating City was receiving the impact of the Demon Tide, and this communication might not be well conveyed to the Floating City, so he could only turn on the continuous transmission and strive for the Floating City to receive the complete instructions as soon as possible.

"According to the previous data, we can clearly feel the impact of the demon tide here after three minutes." Cohen looked at the time and said to Douglas.

After three minutes, the impact of the demon tide reached the Astral Tower as promised, and Douglas and the high-level mages present felt that their souls were about to go out of their bodies at this time, and the magic power that was usually like the arms and fingers was all uncontrollable, and the souls that had been trained after meditation for a long time were even pulled around like a boat in the wind and rain. Several high-level mages who were inferior to Douglas even had to take tranquilizers immediately to smooth their soul fluctuations. On the contrary, mages below the upper ranks did not appear to be affected too much.

"Eye of Vientiane!"

Korn cast a mid-level spell that would normally be easy for him. The mage's pupils, which should normally be stable with a magical structure, still twisted and flickered slightly under Korn's control.

Cohen stared for a moment before withdrawing his spell and said to Douglas, "Your Excellency, the onslaught of the demon tide has arrived. Even though the Arcane Empire has had several previous experiences fighting the Tide, I think even so, it still has a very big impact on us. Your Excellency the Speaker of the House of Representatives, please prepare as soon as possible. ”

Douglas looked at Cohen's 'Eye of Vientiane' and said, "Looks like the Empire is going to have a lot of trouble." I will convene the plenary session of the House of Lords tomorrow. When the time comes, I hope that Master Koen will come up with a plan to reduce the impact of the Demon Tide. Thankfully, Master Korn. ”

Soon after, the House of Lords followed Speaker Douglas out of the Tower. Only Korn and the crew of the Aspect Tower remained.

"Except for the observation group, everyone else should go home early to resist the demon tide, whether it is meditation, tranquilizers, or even sleep. All of this will help us a lot in resisting the tide of demons. Korn paused and continued: "Next, the Astrological Tower will enter a 24-hour non-stop monitoring state, and the specific arrangements have been issued this Monday. Get ready, everybody. With that, Cowen waved for the rest of the day's observation group to leave.

As the owners of the Aspect Tower, Cohen and his disciple Harold would be among the first to stay and observe the impact of the Demonic Tide.

"Teacher, this kind of stability has never been seen in the history of the Empire. The last time it was 3.7 was due to an explosion of an astral object 7.3 light-years away from us. I really don't know what would happen to make the Demon Tide Impact so unstable. Harold said impatiently.

"My dear Harold, in this case we should look more closely. Impatience at this time will not solve any problems. This Tide may indeed be more special than we thought. But it's not special for no reason, maybe the mystery of magic is hidden in it, isn't it? Korn reassured.

At this time, the magic tide has spread to every corner of Ryan, and all people can feel the impact of the magic tide. The once bustling bazaar is long gone, and everyone has to hide at home to stabilize their magic.
