Chapter 32: The Crisis Is Approaching

Life didn't get any better, and another three months passed. The Hope Floating City has finally become a fortress-level floating city that can leave Ryan for a long astral journey at any time. The Dark Side, on the other hand, began to try to drift on the Dark Side while maintaining the search, and they sent a batch of high-level golems of the Ryan civilization through the Dark Side.

Those high-level golems already possessed a certain amount of intelligence, and their entire body was made of Ryan's Dark Side materials to resist the corrosion of the Dark Side. While preserving the seeds of Ryan's civilization, they are also responsible for finding out the news near Ryan's dark side, and trying to maintain long-term contact with Ryan. Unfortunately, on the third day after the release of the golems, they lost contact.

Other than that, Ryan hasn't changed at all during these three months, the artificial solar star Taiyin is working well, and the people of Ryan have begun to adjust to their existence. The Dark Side's spell teaching is also well implemented, and although the young mages can only learn about the glory of the Arcane Empire through books on the real side, at least three times a week the Dark Side can actually cast one or two spells. Ryan's situation is fairly stable, the Arcane Empire's control over Ryan is impressive, and the consciousness of Ryan's people is also gratifying.

And in the past three months, Douglas has been running east and west, the Institute of Parliament and the Eye of the World, the Resting Place, and the Ring of the Earth are all making all kinds of attempts, what kind of permanent passage to the dark side, the traction of the kingdom of God, the transformation of the human body, etc., none of them worked. On more than one occasion, the Arcane Empire asked Orbis to hand over the coordinates of the world he was in now for Ryan to anchor. Orbis, after laughing at them for not knowing enough about the gods, tells them that the gods are actually just employees of the world, and that becoming a world god means that your net worth and life are closely linked to the world. So unless there is already a better way out and a sufficient price is prepared, the gods will not betray their world. Even if it was like that, Orbis would need to pay enough divine power to bear the backlash of the world's power. But he didn't ask Ryan for a long time.

And the council didn't expect Orbis to tell them the coordinates directly. The council also has a piece of Obis's core divine power crystal, and this crystal has been sealed, making Orbis himself think that this crystal has been annihilated in endless time and space.

At the door of an ordinary laboratory, Douglas entered his mana sigil and gained access. Through the transparent sealing materials and protective barriers, Nelson and Cohen and several Grand Arcanists behind the seven layers of protective measures can be vaguely seen.

"How's it going, have you detected the coordinates of Orbis' world?" Douglas came in and asked directly.

"No, it's quite difficult to use the Divine Power Crystal to calculate the location of Orbis himself, and he is still in the stage of hitting the luck. Nothing can be measured except in one direction. Nelson said as he handed over a document.

"Let's try it in this direction. This sector coordinate area is already 2 degrees smaller than the last time, and the harvest is not bad. Douglas said.

"If we spend too much time exploring the world, there may not be enough time for fixing anchor points and towing time." Nelson said.

In fact, it is not easy to link to other worlds through the dark side anchorage, if the two worlds have already established a connection, it is fine to say if both sides agree, but if the other party is not willing to establish a connection, then it can only be linked violently or infiltrated. Of course, it's too early to say this, and Ryan doesn't have anyone to sneak into.

Cohen said that the search for civilization today is as inefficient as observing other stars in the astral realm with an ordinary telescope. It's a pity they can't come up with a better way. Now that the whole Dark Side Project is stuck here, the Council Institute has conducted several bait drops to simulate the infiltration. The Institute of Parliament processed some natural materials and attached Ryan's civilization information packet to it, and then put it on Ryan's dark side. After a few simulations, this decoy diving technique was mastered. The problem, however, is that there is no civilized world to put infiltration into them.

It's fair to say that these three months have been lackluster, and Ryan has made little progress in escaping the predicament of Breath of Perdition. The Council of Ministers submitted a report to Parliament. Tell the council that Ryan's people may be reaching the limit of patience, and if there is no explanation, the possibility of large-scale and sustained riots in Ryan in the next six months is very high.

However, after two discussions in the parliament, there was still no approved answer. Until now, the parliament has not discussed whether to announce the date when Ryan will be attacked by the Breath of the Sunk. Some people think it should be made public, while others think it doesn't help. The only point of consensus at the moment is that 'Hope cannot be published'. Everyone thinks that the announcement of the Hope at this point in time is more likely to cause unrest.

"Okay guys, I'll personally preside over this regular meeting." Douglas said.

"I don't know what you guys want to do. But I can tell you that the intelligence services have been smelling leaks lately. More than one piece of information shows that many small and medium-sized forces are stepping up their efforts to find out what we are hiding. And according to the analysis of the intelligence services, there is a high probability that the information will be partially leaked within a month. This means that if we do nothing, some of your friends may come running up to you in the middle of the night a month later and ask you if Ryan is going to end the world. ”

"Friends, although Ryan can't fully grasp the situation. But if we can't even guide. That's really not far from us waiting for death. ”

"Vote, two out of three." Not to be published', 'to be published at a time to be negotiated', or to be published at the correct time. Douglas said.

After one round of voting, 'not announced' was eliminated.

"'Time delay', 'time advance' and 'exact time'. It's still a two-three. Douglas said.

"Let's look at the results, 50% accurate time, 47% delayed and 3% advanced." Douglas said: "In that case, I will decide with the Speaker. The proposal on 'Announcing the Right Time' was adopted. ”

Douglas's little trick didn't go unguessed, but they didn't have a better way. What is the use of the quality of 'opinion' when there is no right answer to the solution?

"Then I'll ask the Parliamentary Research Institute and the Government Council to come up with a plan to announce the news in a week at the latest." Douglas set the rules and said, "Take a little pride in being Ryans, and I don't think people will let us down." ”

As the highlight of the event set the tone, the regular meeting ended quickly. The Government Council is preparing to announce the plan. It is foreseeable that all kinds of rumors will be flying in the next few days, and at this time, it will be a little more than a year and a month before the Breath of Sinking invades Ryan.
