Chapter 1699
The light of the moons shone on the earth, and the large lake under the moon was still calm.
As Xia De's figure rose from the lake surface toward the night sky, black shadows the size of rice grains appeared on the edges of the three moons at higher altitudes at the same time, spreading toward the other parts of the moons.
This speed was hard to detect with the naked eye, but Luweiya, who was in front of the astronomical telescope on the third floor of No. 6 St. Deran Square, captured it at the first time.
She left the telescope, confirmed the time with her pocket watch, recorded the time point, then looked at the telescope again, and the pencil in her hand quickly drew the shape of the moon at this time on white paper.
Although busy with her own work, the purple-eyed girl was still worried in her heart at this time about Xia De, who should have returned home at this time but still hadn't returned.
"Meow~"
Suddenly hearing the cat's meow, she turned her head and saw Little Mia appear at the door of the room, lowering her head and making a sound.
"Are you also worried about Xia De?"
She asked softly, put down the paper and pen in her hand, took out the late-night snack Xia De prepared for her from under the upside-down food box, put it on the table for the cat to eat, and then quickly walked to the table and picked up her divination cards. Without any preparation, she just drew one from it, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned:
"This is... The Lovers?" "It has begun."
Jibei, St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy.
As the ceiling in the center of the Great Library gradually became transparent, the astrolabe also hid itself, and the starry sky of the Jibei was revealed behind the ceiling. Miss Danister raised her hand to command, making the starry sky constantly enlarge until the three moons undergoing a lunar eclipse occupied the entire field of vision, which also allowed people sitting on the sofa in the central open space of the library to clearly see the changes in the starry sky.
Principal Mr. Pigman, librarian Miss Danister, professors of the Astronomical Academy, and some students nervously preparing to record, all looked up at the incomparably clear starry sky. Ms. Molly Toriel, Dean of the Astronomical Academy, who had divined for Xia De when he enrolled last summer and got "The detective holding a blood-stained Rhode card," joked with a smile:
"It's clearly a library here, but it has the best astrology equipment in the whole school; even our Astronomical Academy doesn't have similar devices."
"There's no way around it; when the academy was first built in the Fifth Era, this library was the first building, so it has the most painstaking efforts of Miss Feilianna and Miss Olanode."
The monocle-wearing principal, "Silver Keeper" Mr. Andre Pigman, said with a smile. As for the name "Miss Olanode," it had also been investigated and confirmed recently.
"This is the property of the library; it has been since the Fifth Era. All Astronomical Academy members don't need to test me." Miss Danister also said, and then signaled people to focus on observing this once-in-a-millennium total lunar eclipse.
Professor Lagus, Vice Dean of the Astronomical Academy, had already stood up and started to explain this lunar eclipse. All the lights in the library were extinguished, and under Miss Danister's control, a panoramic view of the starry sky at this moment was projected under the three moons.
Professor Lagus pointed at his throat, and then a loud voice was issued: "Professors, and students, please pay attention, here is..."
The red-haired librarian lady was originally looking at the moons with a smile, feeling the impact of the lunar eclipse on herself. But suddenly her face changed, she raised her hand and waved, and a small red-covered leather book from afar flew into her hand, and that book was clearly fading.
"What's wrong?"
The principal asked softly, Miss Danister stood up from the sofa regardless of others' surprise:
"You continue, I'll leave for a while."
"Where to?" "Green Lake." "What?"
But the female sorcerer had already turned into a red light and shadow, disappearing in place. "It has begun."
Tobesk, Sun Church, top of the right tower of the church.
In the night wind, the Ringed Sorcerers of the church held wine glasses together, laughing and looking at the starry sky. Mr. Hog Lundell, who was wearing a "Sun Greatsword," and Iluna, who was wearing a brown coat, stood together:
"Mr. Lundell, thank you for inviting me to enjoy the moon; being alone at home is indeed very boring. However, I really didn't expect that I have only lived for 17 years, and not only did I encounter the Star Sea Whale passing through the material world, but I could also see a total lunar eclipse of such a large scale."
The seventeen-year-old girl exclaimed. In fact, she originally wanted to go to No. 6 St. Deran Square to find Luweiya. She was a bit worried about Xia De's situation; the lunar eclipse had a great influence on users of moon power:
"It's really getting more and more chaotic."
"The epic of the Chosen One moves forward steadily; of course, the world will not be as peaceful as in the past. However, don't talk about work matters tonight, Miss Beiyasi; why don't you let me test you, what is the significance of the lunar eclipse besides the astronomical phenomenon?"
The two clinked glasses, and the red wine in Mr. Lundell's hand swayed together with the fruit juice in Iluna's glass.
"This can't stump me; when I was training in the Holy See, only my ancient language grades were not good... The sun and the moon are the supreme existences symbolizing the light of the world. The two alternate and cycle to maintain various basic rules of the material world. And once a solar eclipse or lunar eclipse occurs, it means that some rules can become blurred in a short period of time."
"Yes."
The "Sun Greatsword" smiled and nodded, looking toward the distant Mid-Hillburg:
"Fortunately, the chaos at the boundary between life and death was a matter of last autumn. If it were now, it would be really terrible... However, the Green Lake area is also having problems. Chaotic space is affecting the entire material world."
"Yes, and it is said that the three major academies have also sent letters to students all over the world, warning Ringed Sorcerers to pay attention to unusual spatial phenomena around them, and saying that these phenomena will become more frequent after the lunar eclipse. Since last year, the number of chaotic spatial zones in the material world has been increasing rapidly, and the number of ordinary people we have counted who have been inexplicably teleported to distant places is also increasing."
Iluna sighed softly, and inexplicably had some ominous premonition in her heart; she always felt that Xia De would encounter very dangerous things tonight.
"Has it begun?"
Green Lake City, at the entrance of Green Lake Hotel, the lady who was about to push the door and enter looked at the night sky with some surprise. The dim yellow light from the carriage window, street gas lamps, and hotel windows illuminated her figure together, and there was a puzzled expression on her beautiful face:
"So fast? I thought it would take another few dozen minutes."
However, she didn't continue to observe the night sky, but pushed the door and entered the hotel directly.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and there were only sporadic guests dining on the first floor of the hotel. Hotel owner Mr. Soren Green and Miss Helena Green were checking accounts and bills together behind the counter. Today was the last day of the Month of Sowing, and this was something that had to be done.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Soren Green subconsciously looked up wanting to say the welcome sentence, but seeing the lady whose beauty was breathtaking, the words got stuck in his throat and couldn't be said.
And the lady who entered the door didn't want to talk to the man at all. After coming behind the counter, she said to Miss Helena Green: "Has John Watson, who lives on the third floor, appeared since this evening?"
Golden eyes stared at the woman in front of her, and Miss Green didn't know why, but she blurted out the guest's privacy that shouldn't have been revealed:
"No, ma'am. After he went out in the morning, he never came back."
Then she realized something was wrong, covered her mouth and took two steps back. Mr. Green reached for the pistol under the counter wanting to protect his sister, but was stopped by the red-haired lady:
"Don't be so nervous, I am his... lover."
She looked at the twin brother and sister behind the counter with deep meaning:
"I heard that he provoked other women locally, so I came to see... That woman, wouldn't she be some relative of yours? For example, an aunt?"
Mr. Green immediately put down the pistol under the counter, looked at his sister while taking a step back, letting her answer. Of course they knew the relationship between Megan and "John Watson," and naturally they had heard that the powerful Ringed Ringed Ringed Shushi had his own lover in other places.
"This lady... this..."
The bespectacled woman hadn't dealt with such things either, and for a while didn't know what to say: "Our aunt, and Mr. Watson, they are..."
Fortunately, Galina Cavendish, who had disguised her appearance, didn't force them anymore. While Miss Helena Green was stammering, she turned around with interest to look at this hotel, and then suddenly looked toward Green Lake, where she sensed an unusual element reaction:
"Don't tell anyone that I have been here."
Saying this, she made a spell-casting action, and then turned and left the hotel. Hearing the footsteps, the carriage door stopped at the entrance of the hotel was opened, and Tifa's sound came from the carriage:
"Miss, did you find him?"
"It seems that they fought on the side of Green Lake... Bringing you to fly over from the train in advance, I originally wanted to give him a surprise."
She didn't get on the carriage, but waved to Tifa:
"However, this can also be considered a surprise; you go to the train station and wait for Angelina and the others to enter the station. I want to see what kind of trouble Megan has caused Xia De again."
Although the best observation point for this lunar eclipse was in the central part of the Old Continent, in fact, other regions of the Old Continent could also observe this rare astronomical phenomenon. Because the residents on both sides of Green Lake had learned from the newspaper that the lunar eclipse would appear, many people didn't rest early tonight, but waited to observe this rare astronomical wonder.
The Ringed Sorcerers of the churches around Green Lake naturally also looked up at the three moons that had already appeared with black shadows during their mission.
It was just that soon, while feeling the world-wide changes in spirits and elements caused by the unique astronomical phenomenon, they saw a scene even more amazing than the moon.
