The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 396 No.20 Seven Acts. Light

This is a somewhat dark room, with some old decorations in the room. Compared with the lively and happy atmosphere outside, this place is much quieter.

In the middle of the room is a table with a small black box on it. A man in a black robe is already sitting there. The cuffs and the two gold borders are somewhat dull. He is haggard and pale, as if he has not slept. good.

"grown ups."

He saw Liliana, bowed his head and saluted, and then saw Erandall and Rosen, but there was no reaction.

"These two are the assistants I invited to assist. You are Harvey Dent, right?"

Liliana didn't explain too much, and she didn't need to say much about people with lower status than herself.

"Yes, my lord, I was stationed at the observation post of the Endless Abyss a month ago, when I saw a strange light."

Harvey nodded, and directly began to state his knowledge.

"Strange light?"

Being able to be given a strange name by an official mage is indeed worth noting.

"Well, it's actually not completely dark in the Endless Abyss, at least the first floor isn't too dark. I was in charge of the night watch at the time, but the day before because I slept too late reading a treatise, I felt a little dizzy at midnight. drowsy."

He said with some embarrassment, and put his hands on the table, as if this could relieve his tension.

"Because there is usually nothing wrong with the Tranquil Sea, so I fell asleep lying on my stomach for some reason, and I didn't wake up until I heard an indescribable throbbing."

"Throbbing?"

Rosen fell into thought when he heard this word.

"It doesn't look like a wave of magic power, but it does resonate a little in my heart, and it can't be restored."

Harvey sighed.

"The observation outpost has a projection magic circle arrangement that records the surrounding situation, so everything recorded can be easily restored. This is also the meaning of the existence of this observation outpost, but the throbbing is different, and it cannot be restored at all. Even at one time, I thought it was The illusion caused by my sleepiness."

However, Harvey changed the topic and moved the black box next to the table to the center of the table.

"This is the crystallization of records at that time, you can check it out."

Opening the box, it was an emerald green crystal. Liliana touched it lightly, and the crystal immediately projected a three-dimensional picture.

It is a tall tower built on top of a dense woodland.

"woodland?"

Ellander was puzzled. It was obviously under the endless abyss, but he didn't expect that there was no sea water, but a scene like this primitive forest.

"Yes, the first layer of the Endless Ocean Abyss, the Sea of ​​Tranquility, is actually a sea of ​​forests. The temperature remains at the turn of spring and summer all year round, which is suitable for plant growth. We have also opened several fields here for planting. Some alchemical crops that require special environments to grow."

Harvey didn't know Ellander's status as a clergyman, so he explained patiently.

As for Rosen, compared with this piece of woodland, more attention is still on the projected image.

This projection completely replicated the scene around the observation post, and even the humid air and noisy insects were faithfully recorded. Rosen could even feel the elements of traveling in it, but he couldn't make any changes to the projection. Interference, can only quietly watch all this as a bystander.

This is projection magic, a spell that completely restores the scene. Even a formal mage needs the assistance of a magician to cast it smoothly.

"That's what happened at midnight that night."

With a slight flick of his finger, Harvey zoomed in on the entire picture, and the camera focused on a brightly lit room at the top of the tower.

A mage wearing a long robe was propping his head, and a heavy book was spread out in front of him, but his eyes did not fall on the pages of the book, but drifted gradually, looking drowsy.

It was Harvey himself.

Harvey smiled a little embarrassedly, and then slightly accelerated the projection speed.

You can see that he didn't last long before he lay down and began to fall asleep, drooling on the page.

"I remember it should be at this point in time."

Immediately afterwards, Harvey returned the projection speed to normal, and saw himself in the projection suddenly woke up, a little distraught, and looked around.

"At this time, I was looking for the source of the throbbing, but unfortunately, I didn't find any trace."

In the projection, Harvey ran to a strange instrument, pressed a few buttons, but immediately shook his head, looking disappointed.

And Rosen also felt that there was a wave of magic power coming from that instrument, which seemed to be a scanning and probing magic tool.

During this period, neither Liliana, Ellander, or Rosen felt any abnormality in the projection. As Harvey said, it was a shock that could not be recorded.

"Just when I was hesitating whether to inform the other mages who were resting, the light appeared."

Harvey said with lingering fear, looking at himself in the projection.

And the three of them followed his line of sight.

Harvey in the projection sat down, as if he was still thinking, and then, a change occurred.

A ray of light burst out from a cliff not far from the observation post and shot straight into the sky, but when it approached the boundary of the endless abyss, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

This beam of light is about the thickness of a person, and the whole is silvery white. Rosen didn't feel any aura from the beam of light, and couldn't analyze the specific composition of the beam of light. radiance everywhere.

The beam of light lasted for a short time, and after a while, it disappeared completely, leaving no trace.

To be honest, the whole process felt a little creepy, it was silent, there was neither sound nor fluctuation of magic power, only this silver-white beam of light from the abyss existed.

"Any ideas?"

Liliana glanced at Rosen. If it comes to holy relics, there is probably no one who has more right to speak than him.

"First of all, we have to confirm whether all this is real."

Rosen said, then reversed the entire projection, paused when Harvey was about to wake up, and then pulled the perspective to another place.

"what?"

Ellander was a little puzzled, but soon, she understood why Rosen did this.

Because Rosen focused his perspective on a slippery lizard with six legs in the jungle.

"This is a sea lizard. It feeds on magic plants. It can sense magic power!"

Harvey also immediately understood Rosen's intention.

Sea lizards are quite sensitive to magic power. If mages can feel that throbbing, then these beasts can also.

Everyone focused their eyes on the sea lizard, and saw that almost at the same time as Harvey in the projection, the sea lizard, which was sleeping, suddenly woke up and was restless.
