Three days passed in a flash, and everything in the empire seemed to be back on track, although there were chaos and bandits everywhere, but with the support of the powerful troops of the lords, everything continued as before.

However, the inhabitants who had settled near St. Caron were surprised to notice that the Acropolis troops around the Imperial Capital had packed their bags.

Led by lords who don't usually show up, they embarked on a journey to San Caron.

Under the leadership of Duke Nicholas, the facilities for preparing for the ceremony were demolished, leaving only a huge circle imprinted in the clearing.

The circles are circular structures, and it took almost all the centuries of the empire's collection to draw them, and it took a lot of manpower, money, and material resources to draw such a large-scale circle.

In the center of the circle is a complex figure composed of various geometric figures, and in the gaps there are words that are not at all created by this world.

In order to watch the opening of the ceremony, the empress came to the scene early in the morning.

Duke Nikolai walked up to her side and whispered: "Your Majesty, the ceremony is ready, according to the scholars of the Ministry of Astronomy, soon the sun will return to the earth, and the ceremony can begin at any time." ”

Gladys looked at the bright red circle in the distance, hesitating, even though the academy had assured her several times that the ceremony would be a success, she still had some gains and losses in her heart.

Gladyse stood on a high platform in the distance and sighed, her gorgeous costume could not hide her sorrow.

The sun gradually broke through the dark clouds and sprinkled on the damp ground, steaming up a damp wave, which meant that the torrential rain that had been raging for several days was about to leave. Now, it's time to make up your mind!

Gladys looked around at the crowd, and the people in the audience looked at her expectantly, this was the work of their years of struggle, and she knew that there was no turning back now.

Gladys calmed down and looked grim, reached out and waved her cloak, raised the scepter that symbolized the royal family, and made a decision that would change the fate of the entire continent.

"I order in the name of the Imperial Family, open the ceremony!"

After just one sentence, the weight of this ritual could make the entire continent tremble!

The personnel who had been preparing for a long time immediately took action, and everyone ran to their posts to maintain their duties.

Instead of wearing the white robe of the dean at this moment, David was dressed in an anachronistic black garment, with the same pattern painted on it as the ceremony.

David respectfully held the crystal needed for the last step of the ceremony and slowly moved it to the center of the circle.

The students waiting around the circle saw that the dean was in place, and did as he commanded to place the surrounding area with moist earth, dew from the leaves, raging fire, and gold nuggets smelted into special ornaments.

Just as these things were placed, the quiet circle began to reveal a red glow, and the strange object placed in the circle spontaneously ignited as if it had been set on fire.

Everything went smoothly, David began to chant the incantation, the crystal in his hand began to crack gradually, the clear sky began to rise again, and the sky by the palace was also reflected in the circle of red.

"What's going on? Didn't the sun just come out?" Russell, who was in the garden, looked at the red glow in the distance in shock.

"What kind of celestial phenomenon is this, I've never heard of a red glow in the afternoon?" Carlos, who had studied astronomy, looked at the sky dumbfounded.

Suddenly, the sunlight seemed to be swallowed up by something, and the red light disappeared in an instant, as if at night it was almost impossible to reach out of your fingers.

Far away from St. Caron's boundary, people were surprised to find that the direction of the imperial capital was pitch black, as if it had been shrouded in a black cloth.

At the same time, the thunder in the sky was faintly heard, but people looked up and did not see the dark clouds in the sky, like the sound of patience before someone became angry.

At Gladys's side, the attendants lit torches one after another, and finally she could see something, and she asked in a panic, "Duke Nikolai, how can this happen?"

However, Nikolai ignored the empress, staring directly at the circle in the distance, as if he had seen something he had never seen before.

David in the circle was even more crazy, and he shouted: "Finally, finally I see the truth, I see the secrets of the world, and I have no regrets in this life!"

He kept jumping in the circle, and his body suddenly burned like a strange thing, and in the darkness, he was like a star.

Nikolai also smiled strangely: "I see, this ceremony is really to be sacrificed." ”

As soon as the words fell, the students who were now maintaining the ritual outside the circle seemed to be sucked in by a tornado, and their bodies were uncontrollably thrown into the circle, and they were swallowed up by the circle without saying a word.

Gladys watched in amazement as everything strange happened, but there was no way she could stop the ritual.

Suddenly, the people present felt a tightness in their chests, as if something inexplicable had penetrated their bodies, and they began to breathe heavily, as if they were drowning people.

The suffocating sensation spread so quickly that Russell and the others felt uncomfortable almost at the same moment, and some of the people who couldn't stand it almost collapsed on the ground.

The darkness in the sky still existed, and in an instant, it seemed that the sky had lowered a lot, and there were bits and pieces of starlight in the darkness, and everyone could see it clearly.

At this moment, Russell felt the morning light on his waist tremble violently, and before Russell could react, the morning light flew out of the scabbard and stabbed straight into the distant sky, like a meteor crossing the sky.
