The sky was covered, like a drop of ink on a white paper that spreads out in astonishing degrees, extending its color as deep as possible to something that is touched. In the blink of an eye, the landscape in front of me turned into a dusk-colored earth, and the barren courtyard was eroded by the gradually rising darkness.

Oscar and Mio Disstad vanished, talking to Lizzie a few seconds ago, but now vanished into thin air like steam. Lizzie clearly saw that the moment the two of them came into contact with the tidal twilight, they seemed to be engulfed and disappeared on the boundary of color.

This abnormal "twilight" should be the effect of some kind of spell, and those two should have been caught up in it. Not long ago, along with the erosion of dusk, there was a buzzing sound like a noise, which was supposed to be the noise produced when the spell was driven.

Silently took out the pocket watch, but the watch was still, and when the clock pointed to sunset, there was no intention of continuing to spin. When you look up, you can't see the sun in the canopy, and the "sky" dyed orange and red seems to be a curtain, full of rough texture.

Friendly forces are hard to move - this was once the case with a country's military, and now Lizzie's reaction seems to be in line with it. It's not that she's indifferent to the disappearance of the two, it's that she hasn't figured out the current situation, and it's even more impossible to take countermeasures.

Liqi didn't know if there were any spells in this world that could destroy people to ashes in an instant, but even if there were such large-scale spells, it would not be possible to distinguish between objects within the scope of the spell's effect. Other words. The two men had disappeared from her eyes, but they were not supposed to be in danger of their lives.

Lizzie doesn't show that she has an unknown spell effect attached to her, but there is a more plausible explanation for her current situation: Lizzie herself is the only one caught up in the spell. Oscar: They're still outside the spell - after all, the space she's in now is so different from what she was just now.

If that's the case, it's much better than the other.

The principle of the spell that summoned twilight has not yet been explained, and it is not clear what the specific effect is, and there is no solution for the time being. However, to be able to create such a large range of high-impact spells, there must be a complex and cumbersome spell structure, and this alone is enough to arouse Lizzie's interest in finding out.

Let's get moving—Lizzie said to herself—whatever the truth is, if you just stay here. That won't reveal anything. Obviously she came to rescue others, but she fell into the pit when she was now being rescued, and this encounter made the corners of her mouth smile inexplicably.

The bell that was still ringing was supposed to be the source of the spell. It was its ringing that heralded the arrival of this "twilight". Lizzie looked at the bell tower not far away, where the towering four-story building and the side hall were connected, and at the top was an antique blue-gray clock.

Bell-bell-bell-bell-

With the constant ringing of bells, dusk completely engulfed the eyes of a qiē. A single qiē in the monastery was shrouded in an unusual sunset. Not long ago, they were quietly hiding from the scorching sun in the shadows, and the summer insects began to make noise. If you don't care about time. It's no different from a real twilight.

After taking a turn around the pit she had struck with her spell and making sure that there was nothing wrong with the height, Lizzie leaped from the edge of the pit into the hollow underground.

It is a cellar with dark black masonry walls and iron latticework that divide it into several small rooms that surround the central hall. The hall was ten meters square, and several fluorite lamps were placed, and the dim daylight from the vertical hole was a more or less qualified light source to barely illuminate the outline of the cellar.

In the thin light, what unfolded in front of Liqi was a simply tidyed underground space. Danfoss and his research team apparently used the place as a base. The small room divided by the iron lattice has a lot of real equipment, and it is here that their real energy may be carried out on weekdays.

Today, though. The users of the colony seem to be in unexpected trouble, with a dozen or so unknown apprentices scattered and fainted throughout the central hall. They were also dressed in ancient sorcerer's robes, and held sticks of wood that looked like staves.

Undoubtedly, they seem to be repeating their old tricks, performing some inexplicable spell ritual in Nahepburn. Now the recipient was lying on his back in a rudimentary Rubik's Cube, and Danvers, who was presiding over the ceremony, was also in a coma, swaying in a slightly smaller Rubik's Cube.

Wait a minute......

Lizzie suddenly felt that the environment here seemed to be something she had never seen before.

Lizzie silently glanced around the structure of the cellar, and although it had been modified by Danfoss and others according to their own temperament, they could still see what it used to be. Not long ago, the scene I had seen in my dream came back to my eyes. If Lizzie's perception wasn't biased, it was indeed the dungeon in her dreams.

Instinctively telling Sù that she was in trouble again, she shook her head and threw the continuation of the dream out of her head, and Lizzie walked straight to the stopped Rubik's Cube in the central hall. Pulling away a few of the apprentices who were in the way, the Rubik's Cube, which was covered by their fallen bodies, was revealed to Lizzie.

The level of these apprentices in setting up the Rubik's Cubes is not very good, but the techniques are decent, and they can clearly see the use and direction of magic power. From the analysis of the remaining words and formations, it seems that they intend to use a spell that can connect the magic of several people.

But it was clear that the plan had failed. As a result, both the caster and the receiver were affected by the sequelae of the failed spell, and one or two lost consciousness. They were still breathing, but their consciousness didn't know where it had dissipated, and they didn't even wake up from Lizzie's rough dragging.

After thinking for a moment, Lizzie walked over to Danfoss and slapped him twice, but it still didn't work. The man who led the research team to perform the spell was completely unconscious, just like the rest of his men, and even if Lizzie had swollen his face, he might not have been able to wake him up.

With an unhappy snort, Lizzie pulled Danforth out of the Rubik's cube he was in, and the long robe, which was a little more advanced than the others, was dragged on the ground with a rustling sound. Unconscious, Danvers couldn't grasp the shaking of his limbs, and a notebook fell out of his arms because of a jolt.

Smack!

The thick notebook fell to the ground with a crisp crashing sound, which also attracted Lizzie's attention. It was a book carefully wrapped in black leather, which looked to be some years old, and the speckled stains appeared on the outer cover of the book.

It immediately occurred to Lizzie that this was the "codex" indicated in Hepburn's intelligence. It is said that the book that Danvers showed to the members of the research group recorded a lot of knowledge about ancient spells, and it also became the general storage of the research group's guiding materials.

The notebook feels very uncomfortable, and you can feel a burst of unhappiness when you hold it in your hand. The black leather that wrapped the cover was rough, and there was a faint smell of dampness inside, and the faint smell of beasts spread from the shoddy cover to the surrounding area.

The binding of the notebook is rather rudimentary, like the cheapest notebooks on the market, and only the rough leather cover gives it a bit of a high-end feel. As Hepburn said, there is an "eye"-shaped pattern in the position of indicating the front side.

I don't know if it's a chain or a vine, but around the blue "eyes" painted with blue paint, there are still circles and circles to find the strange patterns that are connected. These lines are not as striking as the eyes in the middle, but they also exude a sense of existence that cannot be ignored.

This was not the first time Lizzie had seen this pattern, as the projection shown to Curt by Aurordine, at the behest of Dean François, also had this mark on the black-clad monsters who had ransacked the warehouse. Now, Curt is investigating the group at the behest of Dean François.

Lizzie smiled wryly and shook her head, it was really connected in a strange place...... This notebook seems to be the most important takeaway of this trip. I flipped through it casually, and the records in it were all entry-level ancient spells, and the slightly more esoteric ones were some inexplicable rituals.

The people who gave the note to Danfoss were undoubtedly the members of the "blue eyes", but they did not seem to have come to the Dominion recently, as François said. At least around the time Danfoss gained power, those people were already on the move.

In other words, they did not launch a surprise attack on the existing forces as soon as they appeared, but operated under their noses for a long time. The "Blue Eyes" have been preparing for this plan for a long time, and the current operation is only to carry out the long-standing plan.

What exactly are they planning: ransacking the warehouse of spell supplies, creating chaos in the city, and empowering the powerless...... The actions of this strange group make it completely impossible to understand what their goals are. If they had prepared this plan years ago, they would never have allowed anyone to interfere.

Flipping through the spell notebook that had fallen into her hand, Lizzie closed the page. If it takes a lot of time to fully decipher the contents of the notebook, it is better to focus on research now. Glancing at Danvers' ignorant face, Lizzie slipped it into the pocket of her coat without saying a word.

Looking left and right at the apprentices who were still unconscious on the ground, Lizzie muttered in a low voice, "It's a shame that you guys can sleep so comfortably in such an unbelievable place......

As if in response to her whispering, a disturbing silence was heard from somewhere. The continuous sound of the bell was mixed with a subtle metallic sound, like countless pinions rubbing against each other irregularly, making a screeching sound. The unpleasant sound flickered far and near, echoing through the hard stone walls countless times.

Something seems to be hiding in the darkness and approaching. (To be continued!)
