Chapter 43 Rifts and Rifts

During the time when The Last Watcher was active, the Mages Guild was in William’s The operation has reached its peak. That’s when the best magic researchers in the continent came together to come up with the idea of the Star Realm circuit.

After the “Magic Dawn” mission was completed, William, who disclosed the Star Realm circuit technology, also expected that if the game had a sequel, would it be a world with a combination of magic and steam? .

However, it backfired, at least a thousand years later, this world is still a medieval productivity.

But later generations really realized the vision of the Star Realm circuit.

This made William very curious about how they solved the technical problems.

The biggest technical difficulty of the Star Realm circuit is not to build the Star Lighthouse, or even to build a magic net covering the continent. These are worldly issues that can be done as long as there are rulers who have the guts to put in the resources.

The real difficulty is how to find multiple paths that can bypass the Moon Realm and connect the present world with the Star Realm.

In this world, the stars are not real celestial bodies, but holes. They penetrate the Moon Realm, which symbolizes nothingness, and transmit the essence in the Star Realm from itself. Those essences are filtered by the shell of the world and turned into starlight.

In William’s day, even the greatest astrologer in the world could not accurately predict the direction of the stars because of the dramatic changes in the Moon Realm.

If you can’t predict the trend stably, you can’t draw a star map, and you can’t talk about the construction of a natural star circuit.

According to calculations, Moon Realm will take at least another five hundred years to gradually calm down. But he learned from Liliana that the law of the stars was established more than two hundred years after his departure.

So how did they bypass the unstable Moon Realm and go to Star Realm to build a circuit?

The answer is that they simply didn’t bypass the Moon Realm.

William’s heart collapsed when he saw the densely packed space stable rune engraved on the tower.

And when he saw the huge Moon Realm crack on the top of the tower through spell [Moon Realm detection], he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The designer of the law of the stars did not choose to bypass the turbulent Moon Realm, but simply and rudely cut open the shell of the world, and built the Star Realm circuit directly through the Moon Realm.

The Scar of Sorrow suppressed by Twilight Fortress was once the largest Moon Realm rift in the world, where the wound of the shell of the world was, and it was also the largest Transmission Gate when the Moon Realm invaded the Vic continent.

And the rift that appeared at the top of Star Lighthouse, although the scale is far less than the grief scar, once a Void King wants to do something through it, it will definitely lead to catastrophic consequences.

The Last Watcher took a lot of effort to seal the wound after repelling the Moon Realm invasion. Even so, the Scar of Sorrow remains the weak point of the shell of the world to this day, as evidenced by the Staggering Demon who was previously summoned out there.

And they actually opened up the shell of the world by themselves, just to monopolize the source of Star Realm’s magic power?

William still remembers that Liliana said earlier that there are 24 Star Lighthouses in the entire continent. If the Moon Realm rift here is not an exception, then there are now 24 Moon Realm rifts. Evenly distributed on the Vic continent.

This news is too scary.

William did a simple calculation. If Moon Realm intends to invade, the scale and intensity will be more than twice as large as the one a thousand years ago, considering that the rifts are spread all over the continent. Yes, the level of trouble is at least ten times more.

“After I left, what did you guys do…”

William sighed, staring at the rift.

The hand he touched the rune on the tower body trembled slightly, and he could feel that the Space Rune used to prevent the Moon Realm monsters from entering the world was very powerful, and the ordinary Moon Realm monsters couldn’t even get close to it.

But these rune Formations are nothing more than cosmetic decorations to the Void Kings, and they didn’t destroy it simply because they didn’t want to do it for the time being.

Is there no one in the Tribunal to stop those bastards from doing this?

Well, the law of the stars was enacted more than 200 years after he left, and many of the partners of the Tribunal should have passed away at that time. But in The Thirteenth Tribunal, in addition to mortals, there are still many long-lived species.

Dova King of the Dragon Race, Coles Jackdaw of the Raven Human Race, Remedios Moonshadow of the High Elf Race, and Koth, who has an immortal body…

If nothing happened, their lifespan is definitely enough to live up to now.

Have they not tried to stop these things, or have they tried and failed?

In any case, there must be a deeper reason behind the founding of the Riel Empire eight hundred years ago.

The only thing that is fortunate now is that the size of the Moon Realm rift is not large enough for those Void Kings to pass through, and even their avatars can’t squeeze in.

As long as it’s something that has a health bar, he really won’t be able to beat it.

Thinking of this, William looked away from the fissure and continued to climb up the stairs of the lighthouse.

He thought as he walked.

The Star Lighthouse has been in operation for nearly 800 years. During the period, there has never been a Moon Realm monster invading the Vic continent – at least he has not seen similar records in the historical documents he has read in the past few days.

As he thought before, the fact that the Void Kings did not take advantage of these rifts can only mean that they do not want to do so for the time being, but this definitely does not mean that they have no plans, but that their plans are enough to prepare eight Hundreds of years until now.

Unknown threats are the most terrifying threats.

So what are they plotting?

William, walking in the shadows, sideways avoided the patrolling route of a fire samurai.

After entering the middle level of the lighthouse, the security measures and spell traps along the way began to increase, and the patrolling security personnel also changed from guards to various elemental servants.

In desperation, William changed his Illusion Technique Stealth method to a Shadow Stealth method.

Of course, if this is still discovered, then he can only try the stealth method of the peerless series.

Hopefully not.

…………

Duke Simon didn’t know until he returned to Rose Palace that Vincent had been waiting for him in the conference hall for a long time.

And seeing Simon come in, Vincent invited the adjutant who came back with him directly, and closed the door and locked it, and at the same time knocked on the door lock with the spell medium in his hand. .

The blue electric light spread to the walls of the room along the spell medium, all sound in the room was blocked, and their conversation could not be heard outside.

This is his own technique of using lightning magic power – shielding sound by causing slight spatial ripples. This technique is not included in the spell catalog of the Astral Law, speaking from a certain perspective is heresy.

But the two people in the room will not care about this.

“I can think that you want to assassinate me by doing this.”

Simon jokingly said, probably ceremony’s preparations have been completed, he is a little relaxed at the moment.

But seeing the serious expression on Vincent’s face, Simon also restrained his smile and asked:

“What’s the matter? Is it okay?”

Vincent called the head and said: “There are still things that have not been blocked.”

He pointed at Simon’s forehead with the spell medium in his hand, and a Weak lightning links between the eyebrows between the spell and Simon’s.

In Simon’s etheric realm, his connection to the three Moon Realm spirits was temporarily severed.

“What the hell are you trying to do?”

Simon was really nervous now, he looked all around and asked without a trace.

“I’m going to tell you what I just met under the Silver Stream Mine, but I can’t let other people know about these things. This ‘other people’ includes the few Moons who signed a contract with you. The Spirit of Realm.”

Vincent explained quickly.

“What happened? Is that person really Paladin from the Devil Burial Organization?”

Simon asked suspiciously.

“No, it’s more than that terrifying. You listen to me first, don’t refute me like a sensible normal person before I finish.”

Subsequent text Cent began to tell that after he went down to the mine, he met the magic caster who called himself “The Judge”.

He speaks quickly, but with great logic and without any emotion in his words.

Simon at first tried to interrupt Vincent several times to ask for details, but Vincent spoke too fast to give him a chance to interject.

When Simon heard that the magic caster had used Divine Domain-level frost magic, his expression also became serious.

Simon was completely silent after hearing that the magic caster wanted Vincent to be the new ruler of the Blackwater Province.

“…Until the end he didn’t attack me when I turned my back and left. I rushed here immediately after I left the mine, and I asked the steward that you were going to Star Lighthouse soon. Come back, that’s why I’ve been here waiting for you to come back.”

Vincent finally said, and then he looked into Simon’s eyes and asked, “What should we do next?”

Simon looked at him silently. After a while, he slowly opened the mouth and said:

“What about you? What do you think?”

Text Center analyzed:

“First of all, we need to find out the identity of the magic caster, and now the magic caster who can reach the Divine Domain realm under the framework of the law of the stars is impossible to choose to help the Blackwater Province become independent. And if he is a heretic mage, it is impossible to reach that realm without a sound…”

Fifty years ago, there was a heretic mage who arrived in the Divine Domain in Broken Tooth Province. His huge consumption of mana has spread a blight plague in Broken Tooth Province. It is a disease that can cause the body and soul to wither together after infection. All plague-infected people will gradually burn their souls to become their source of magic.

This turmoil called “Blighted Disaster” was finally solved by the Devil Burial Agency and the Platinum Circle. And the method is to slaughter all those infected with the blight plague, in order to cut off the source of magic power of the Divine Domain heretic mage.

It can be seen from this example that if the burning soul is used as the source of magic, then the movement to reach the Divine Domain is undoubtedly Disaster Level.

“…and he said that his purpose is to get rid of the control of the gods, so it is unlikely to be the Divine Domain through Moon Realm. Then there are only two possibilities left: one is He reached the powerhouse of the Divine Domain before the appearance of the law of the stars, for example, we once saw the members of the ‘judgment’ under the stone tablet of Holy Tomb, and this corresponds to his self-proclaimed judge.”

Vincent continued to analyze:

“And second may be more crazy, he may be like Terra I, and he is also a god. If this is the case, everything can be explained. Because if the Holy Spirit comes into the world, it will definitely not be bound by the laws of the stars…”

Duke Simon listened to Vincent’s incessant analysis, and said after a long time:

“That’s not what I asked.”

Vincent stopped, looking at Duke Simon in confusion.

Duke Simon looked Vincent in the eyes, opened the mouth and said:

“For what he said, I hope you will be the new ruler of Blackwater Province. Point, how did you think about it?”

Vincent had an incredible look on his face, he never thought that Simon would ask this question.

“Simon Ward, I wish I could still call you that.”

Vincent also stared into each other’s eyes and said:

“Even if not It’s been twenty-four years since I’ve served you as your mage advisor. If I had…even the slightest intention to replace you, do you think I’d tell you all about it? Or would you say You have long since forgotten your original intention to fight for independence for Blackwater Province, and now you have become a monster who is constantly grabbing power?”

After Vincent finished speaking, the two of them agreed. They stared at each other silently for a long time.

Eventually, Duke Simon broke the silence:

“Sorry, Vincent, my position doesn’t allow me to omit any threats…”

Vincent said: “But you can always trust me.”

Duke Simon asked: “What are you going to do next?”

Vincent replied: “First go to identify that person, if he is really a diviner, or a member of the Tribunal, I think it’s okay to cooperate with him. The conditions he put forward are no worse than those of the Three Goddess, when the time comes As long as you make an oath to him to give up the cooperation with Moon Realm, he will also agree to let you do it…”

This is also Vincent’s desire to block Duke Simon and the spirits of the Moon Realm Reason for contact.

But before his words were finished, Duke Simon interrupted him: “No.”

The expression on Duke Simon’s face changed back to the previous deep superior look. .

“No, there’s no turning back for the bow. Whether it’s the King-Rebel transformation or the Eternal Gift, all the ceremony is ready, you go to the stargazing room at the Star Lighthouse later, Take the place of Old Tortoise as the tower guard for half a day.”

Duke Simon said to Vincent in a commanding tone.

“After the ceremony on my side is complete, there should be a few days before the Star Council shuts down that Stranger tower, when the time comes you use that tower’s authority to break yourself through that Realm. After that, you and I, and Blackwater Kingdom, we will announce our new life to this world together.”

Vincent looked blankly at Duke Simon, who was gradually becoming fanatical. It felt like watching a stranger.

“The preparations for the ceremony have been completed? When was that?”

Vincent murmured, Duke Simon didn’t answer.

“Where’s the Divine Domain magic caster? What are you going to do with him?”

Vincent continued to ask.

“When the dust settles, even a Divine Domain mage cannot threaten the nascent Blackwater Kingdom.”

Duke Simon replied :

“Otherwise, how can I get the confidence to be independent from the Riel Empire?”

Thanks to uffizi for the monthly ticket, and thanks to the lost 98k for the reward.
