Chapter 513: In the Dark

In Poland, the extinguishing of the sun rightfully brought about a great chaos that would affect the whole city, but before the chaos could reach a dangerous point, the timely appearance of the city-state guards and guardian forces was already in control!

The melodious chimes of the chapel echo over the streets, and the bells seem to contain the power to calm the mood and regain courage, and the steam walkers clatter through the streets and alleys, and the latest orders from the town hall are broadcast on the radio installation.

The gas lights next to Road II have been urgently lit; Panicked passers-by are doing everything possible to get back to safety as quickly as possible, or burrow into the nearest "Night Shelter", where heavily armed guards scurry through the crowd, checking the situation of the various Night Shelters and checking for any "filth" that shouldn't be in the real world in the sudden darkness!

Heidi lit up all the lights in the house for the first time - from the gas lamps with divine powers, oil lamps to bright enough electric lights, with these lights to dispel the darkness brought by the sun extinguished, but also to dispel the tension in her heart, and her mother's voice came from the direction of the sofa, "Relax Heidi, running around will fall, the end of the world has not yet come,"

Heidi turned her head to see her mother sitting on the couch like Xiang You, already holding back a few letters that had been put down for the time being by the darkness.

The expression on the old woman's face was still gentle and calm, as if no matter what happened in this world, it would have no effect on her, and it was a shame that the sun went out, and Heidi was surprised at her mother's calmness at the moment!

She couldn't settle down at all at this time.

"You can still read it!"

"If I put the letter down, will the sun shine again?" The mother finally turned her head with a helpless expression on her face!

"Now I can only choose three to believe in the town hall and the cathedral, there will be a powerful presence to protect the city."

Heidi pursed her lips and subconsciously grasped the pendant hanging from her chest.

"Damn... If only Vanna were here, I could ask her what was going on... Father is not at home either."

She didn't notice that her mother, who was sitting on the sofa, instantly showed a subtle expression on her face after hearing her words, and the next second the old woman shook her head, "If the sun really goes out, then this must be a sight that the whole world can see, and Vanna and your father must have seen it too—they must have thought of ways within their respective responsibilities, and you should calm down and think about your duties at this time." ”

Heidi finally calmed down, she frowned, and turned her gaze to the table not far away, where a delicate and sturdy suitcase was quietly placed in the corner.

It was full of all the tools and potions she used in her medical practice—the most potent things in the suitcase she hadn't used for a long time, as even the nights in the city-state had been so quiet lately.

"There will be a lot of people who need psychological counseling."

The mother's calming voice came from behind her: "I guess it won't be long before the town hall will send someone to pick you up - the sun is only darkening temporarily, but our city hasn't sunk yet!"

Heidi exhaled softly and slowly walked to her medical kit.

"Well, you're right, the end of the world isn't here yet - so my overtime won't be over."

"Don't forget to bring a gun when you go to the doctor..."

Mother reminded softly, "Although the recent Pland is much safer than in the past, the mentally disturbed person is always so dangerous - if necessary, you will have to use some drastic means to deal with the "lesion"

"Of course."

Heidi casually agreed.

Opening a hidden compartment at the bottom of the suitcase, a beautifully crafted revolver and several spare bullet nests lay quietly in front of her, she quickly checked the condition of the firearm, and then spoke with a hint of sigh, "After all... Gunpowder is also medicine. ”

"I have already sent the city-state guards, so I don't have to worry about the order in the Frost City for a short time!" Tirion stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling mirror in the corner of the dome office and said to the mirror with a serious face.

"The tension caused by the recent mirror crisis has not yet faded, and the good news is that under the influence of this tension, various emergency plans will be implemented relatively quickly."

The faint green flame burned silently on the surface of the mirror like a light veil, and Duncan's figure stood in the dark depths of the mirror; After Tirien's voice fell, he nodded, "Good, is there any anomaly in the city at the moment?"

"Not yet," Tirion said immediately.

However, I have already increased the number of people to focus on facilities such as mental hospitals, and the cathedral is also arranging for people to focus on patrolling the various night shelters, cemeteries, and less lit neighborhoods..."

"Theoretically, in the realm of the anomalous frost!" Darkness itself is no longer a danger factor, only a mental breakdown and widespread panic that need to be watched closely. ”

Duncan reminded, "In addition, there is no need to send people to the cemetery area, I will personally keep an eye on the people over there." ”

"Yes" Tirion nodded quickly, then he hesitated, and said cautiously as he spoke, "Over there... How's the situation, there's nothing wrong with the Lost Country!"

"Don't worry here, nothing can threaten the Lost Country!"

Duncan said lightly, "Nina has lit a temporary sun in the sky, and now we are still sailing south as planned, and the surrounding waters are calmer than expected. ”

Tirion breathed a sigh of relief, "That seems like I'm overthinking." ”

"Can you get in touch with Breeze?" Duncan's voice then came out of the mirror, "What's going on over there with Lucrecia!" ”

"I just contacted her, she had just returned to the Bright Star, there were no safety issues at the moment, and she said that she had also observed the sun going out in Breeze, but the chaos in that city-state was much better than Frost - due to the influence of that mysterious "falling object", most of Breeze's Harbor still had "sun" shrouded visions, and the sky vision, although disturbing, was not as terrifying as it seemed on Frost's side. ”

"That's good, stay in touch at all times and keep an eye on the changes in the city-state."

"Yes!"

Tirion nodded, then he hesitated and spoke slowly; "In addition, there is another situation...."

"Say"

Duncan in the mirror frowned, "At this time!" In any case it should be said"

"We've lost touch with other city-states, whether they're far away or cold harbors nearby."

"The telegraph has been cut off, the signal towers at sea have not responded, and even the church's psionic communications have not been contacted, and only the II city-states are barely in touch at the moment. One is Prand, the other is Lightwind Harbor. ”

"Communication with other city-states is interrupted,"

Duncan's expression suddenly became serious, "How long has this been going on?" ”

"When the sun went out, we found out that communication with Cold Harbor was broken, and confirmed that the other city-states were the same."

Tirion immediately said, "I've urgently recalled all ships in the waters near Frost and banned them from going to sea!" ”

Tirion said that, but there were some things he didn't say all.

After the loss of communication with the other city-states, a strange concern came to his mind.

He feared that beyond the city-state, in those places where the sun could not shine, the endless sea had become something incomprehensible·····

"Keep trying to contact other city-states," Duncan's voice interrupted Tirien's thoughts from the mirror, "Also, if there's any new news from Lucy's side, contact me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, father."

The communication with the Lost Country was over, and the huge domed office was quiet again, and after Tirion raised his hand and rubbed his somewhat sour brow vigorously, he pressed the electric bell on his desk, and the office door was pushed open, Aiden walked in, and Tirion raised his head and instructed his most loyal subordinates, to be wary of the ships returning from the darkness and not to let them rush near the city-state until the sun was lit again—to create a buffer zone in the offshore area. ”

Let the returning ship temporarily rest there and wait for inspection and release!

The mirror in front of him gradually returned to calm, and the faint green flames temporarily retreated into the corner of the edge of the mirror, Duncan exhaled softly, and turned his head to look out the window at the bright "sunshine" still shining on the deck of the Lost Homeland, and the large sea around it, but beyond the range of the sun, the entire infinite sea was still shrouded in strange darkness.

It was a very unsettling moment, even the noisiest goat's head in Pingyuri fell silent on the chart table at the moment, only Alice was still happily drying the quilt on the deck...

Duncan rubbed his forehead, trying not to pay attention to the figure who was drying the quilt on the deck.

Then he gathered his mind and called out in his heart to the flame that was floating in the sky.

"Nina, how are you doing over there, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired," Nina's voice rang in Duncan's head almost immediately with the resonance of the power of the flames, "I'm not flying very high, I can stay in this position for a long, long time!" ”

"Can you see anything from the surrounding sea?"

"Hmmm... No, there's nothing on the surrounding sea, not even a little wind and waves, Uncle Duncan, do you think of something? ”

"Not at the moment, but keep an eye on the sea – especially those at the junction of light and dark." Duncan said slowly, "If there's a boat or something nearby, let me know as soon as possible." ”

Nina's voice immediately responded, "Hey; Good. ”

Duncan hummed and ended the conversation with Nina, then he looked at the mirror in front of him and calmed down slightly, stepped forward and reached out to brush the mirror, "Lawrence, how is the situation over there." ”
