The surface of the majestic fog like a huge wall of fog rippled slightly, and the clouds that flowed down from the top of the wall of fog were briefly illuminated by a fire from within—and then the dark green flames erupted, and the towering bow of the Lost Land pierced through the wall of fog, carrying wisps of residual fog and sailing on the "normal sea" ahead.

Following the Lost Land, the shadows of the Bright Star, the Tide, the Rest, and the Restless Innocence, as well as escort ships large and small, also passed through the dense fog.

As the fog wall faded away at the stern, the hazy and chaotic light of the sky faded and was replaced by normal sunlight, and the sunset was gradually approaching the distant horizon, and the double rune ring on the edge of Vision 001 had touched the surface of the sea, and the golden-red light was overwhelming, looking magnificent and abnormal.

The seafarers who had safely returned from the fog breathed a sigh of relief, and although the fleet was still technically located in the border seas, at least the feeling of seeing the sun and the undulating blue sea was enough to make them feel a sense of peace of mind and the temperature of the "world of order".

"I've been in touch with the Church Ark in Breeze," Vanna said to the bow of the ship and found the captain who was looking out into the distance from the deck, "I gave a brief report on what happened on the Holy Land Island, and Helena looks forward to seeing you again." ”

"Well," Duncan replied simply, but he seemed a little absent-minded, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze from the distant sea, and his gaze fell on Vanna, "Is there anything else?" ”

"We're a little worried," Vana hesitated for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "You have been even more preoccupied since you came out of the captain's quarters, has something happened?" ”

"Just discussing something disturbing with the goathead," Duncan exhaled softly, "to something to do with those two suspicious apparitions you and Morris saw." ”

Vanna blinked, "Those two phantoms we saw?" ”

"Well, they ......," Duncan nodded, but was about to explain to Vana when he was interrupted by a voice that suddenly came into his ears.

It was a low hum, sounding like a huge reed being violently struck in the depths of the clouds, and the hum was distant and long, as if it echoed throughout the sky!

Vana had apparently heard the sound as well, and she was startled for a moment, and looked up in the direction where the sound was echoing, looking at the clouds in the distance, and at about the same time, Maurice and Lucretia also ran out of the nearby cabin, looking at the sky in amazement.

The strange hum was also heard by many of the sailors in the fleet, and on the three main battleships of the Church, the priests and guardian warriors who were alarmed by the humming sound ran to the deck, looking in disbelief at the sky still echoing with the remnants, while others raised their hands and pointed to the distant clouds, as if they saw something wrong from the depths of the clouds.

Duncan's eyes narrowed, his gaze drawn to a faint light behind the clouds, and he couldn't help but look in that direction, and then the floating light brightened in his vision.

It made a distinct trajectory, moving behind the clouds at a seemingly slow and fast speed.

Lucrecia, who was not far away, suddenly widened her eyes.

With a continuous low roar that gradually became clear and clear, the floating light moving behind the clouds was rapidly magnified, and between the gaps in the clouds, a brilliant golden light flashed, and a moment later, the floating light passed through the clouds in the northwest direction, and fell along the arc towards the sea in the north with a brilliant body of light.

Like a small sun wheel falling, a huge luminous body gradually disappears into the distant sea.

Duncan, on the other hand, reacted momentarily after a momentary pause, and he jerked his head to look in Lucrecia's direction, only to see that the latter was also looking up at him.

Duncan didn't speak, but the "sea witch" already knew what her father wanted to ask, and she nodded lightly with a solemn expression.

The second luminous body fell.

On the nearest Tide, some of the sailors let out an exclamation, and some of the quicker ones turned their eyes to the sun, and among them the keenly observant ...... A second new notch in the rune ring has been discovered.

Lucretia walked over quickly, and took the initiative to speak without waiting for Duncan to ask: "The visual direction of the fall is to the north, and it should be near the cold sea - I don't know if the old brother has noticed it......"

"I saw a golden light in the cemetery over there, but my view was obscured by the city buildings," Duncan said at once, and then he gathered his mind and called out to the mark of the Far North: "Tirion." ”

A palpable panic passed through the imprint, and then Duncan heard the "Iron Lieutenant General" respond in his heart: "I'm here, father." ”

As he responded, there was a cacophony of voices, and there seemed to be some confusion around Tirien.

"Have you ever observed a large glowing falling object?" Duncan immediately asked, noticing the chaotic voices, "What are you doing over there?" How is it messy? ”

Tirien's voice was a little choppy, "There's something going on here...... I see that glowing falling object you mentioned......"

"What is the approximate direction of the fall?" Lucrecia's voice cut in directly, "How far is it from the city-state?" Is it on the territory of the civilized world? ”

There was a sudden silence on Tirian's side for a few seconds, and then a reply came from the faint voice: "...... Hit me on the head. ”

Duncan Lucrecia: "......? ”

"Strictly speaking, it's smashed on the Frosty Coast - but part of its light body is huge, and part of the luminous structure extends directly into the city, and my office is in coverage...... Now there's some confusion here...... This thing is so bright, so sudden, my eyes are a little uncomfortable......"

Duncan and Lucretia continued: "......"

Frankly, Duncan really didn't expect this......

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a moment, and Duncan finally coughed dryly: "Is anyone hurt?" ”

"It's uncertain yet, there shouldn't be any direct damage, because the glowing part of the thing is non-corporeal, and it didn't disturb even a speck of dust when it fell, and its physical part fell off the coast, and there were no ships sailing there," the chaos on Tirian's side seemed to calm down a little, and he replied while arranging things, "but the fall of the luminous body was sudden, and it has caused chaos in the city, and I am arranging for people to calm the affected neighborhoods and confirm if there is any damage......"

Tirien was silent for a moment before continuing to speak, "Lucy, this thing should be ......"

"It should be the same thing as the glowing geometry on the side of Breeze—the rune ring at the edge of the sun has a second visible notch, and it's bigger than the last time," Lucretia said in a solemn tone, "...... The disintegration of the sun may be speeding up. ”

“…… Damn it. ”

"I'll pass on my research on luminous geometry as soon as possible, you need to set up a corresponding research facility, at least move that 'falling object' to a safe sea near the city-state, it should have a physical core in the center...... When the situation on your side is stable, send someone to find the entity core and tell me what state it is. ”

"I know."

After a few more exchanging words, Duncan ended his contact with Tirien.

The deck was quiet for a moment, and in the golden sunset, Duncan and Lucretia stood silently at each other.

A heavy pressure, as if some invisible countdown was pressing on her chest, making Lucrecia feel a little breathless.

She raised her head, looked at her father, and opened her mouth: "Dad......"

Another strange hum came from the sky, interrupting what she was about to say.

The golden sunset suddenly vanished—a chaotic darkness that enveloped everything in view for a moment.

The sun went out again.

From Plant to Frost, from Lightwind Harbor to the Frontier Fleet, the sun was once again plunged into darkness in plain sight—with a strange, muffled humming sound, the sphere in the center of Vision 001 turned into a hideous, eerie black hollow, leaving only the double rune rings glowing with golden glow to rest on the horizon, barely illuminating the murky sky.

The two notches in the rune ring were even more pronounced and glaring at this moment.

"The Observer Anchor Stops Again......"

Alice stepped out of the cabin and looked at the extinguished sun in the distance.

"How long will it stop this time?" Nina leaned over from the side and muttered a little uneasy.

"I don't know," Alice shook her head, "it's still reporting an error anyway, and the system is trying to restart." ”

Ah Dog and Shirley also walked out, one squatted on the deck silently looking at the horizon, and the other cautiously glanced in the direction of the captain not far away, Shirley muttered, "...... It's really going to light up again, right? Isn't it going to light up now......"

"It can't be that bad, right?" Nina was startled by Shirley's muttering, then she thought about it and said a little uncertainly, "Really...... Am I going to think about hanging it in the sky all the time, lighting the city-state or something...... But I can't take much of it alone, and I don't have any holidays on weekends? ”

Shirley, who was sighing + sad next to her, heard her friend's chatter, her expression suddenly became a little subtle, and she turned her head to look at Nina: "...... Isn't that outrageous? ”

"The current situation is already outrageous, okay......"

Shirley and Nina talked farther and farther apart, as if to calm a little nervous, and just as they were chatting like this, the low and strange hum suddenly sounded in the sky again.

Then, with little reactionary time, the world, which had just been plunged into darkness for only a few minutes, was once again illuminated by the sun, and the sun was lit up again, and the golden red sunset shone on the sea as if it had never disappeared.

Shirley and Nina looked at each other.

This time, the Sun's "restart" is obviously much faster than the previous two times.

"It's lit up!" After a brief moment of stunnedness, Shirley finally reacted and shouted happily, "This time it was only extinguished for a few minutes!" ”

"Scared me, I thought it would be dark for more than ten hours in a row like before......" Nina also exhaled beside her, "It doesn't seem that bad." ”

Not far away, Morris also seemed to be relaxed, with a smile on his face.

Compared to the previous two times, the sun went out for a short time, no matter why it started so quickly...... It's always a good thing that the sun is restored.

On the Lost Land, on the Tide, and on the other Church warships, people breathed a sigh of relief in the re-illuminated sunlight, a sense of relief that soothed nerves that had just tensed.

But an hour later, things weren't quite right.

The sun is still in that position.

Two hours later, the long twilight is still not over.
