dark moon

Chapter 316
It was nearly noon, and Suer's solar chariot still hung high in the middle of the sky, spreading sunshine and warmth to the world. However, when Suer and the others hurried out of the tavern, the scene they saw seemed like twilight had fallen.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is still in the sky and has not disappeared. However, there is an extra layer of curtain on the sky, as if it is covered with a layer of black cloth. Only a trace amount of sunlight can shine into the city through the curtain, making the city fall into In darkness.

Countless city residents poured out of the buildings onto the streets, looking up at the vision of the sky, whining and screaming, resounding in every corner of the city.

Apart from the darkening of the sky, there is nothing abnormal. Of course, the darkening is the biggest abnormality. It is this phenomenon that violates the law of day and night that has plunged the citizens who have lived in the Lion City safely for hundreds of years. In despair and panic.

Disasters are not the scariest thing, but the unknown. Most people don't know what happened. The more unknown, the more panicked.

"The heart of the city has been activated." Dak was the first to react and explained to the others in a low voice, "It is passively activated, and it is overloaded."

"Huh?" Shuer was stunned. "Is the Lion King out of his mind? Using something that looks like the end of the world? Wouldn't it be better for him to use something else?"

"No, most city hearts are like this." Saff also recovered from the surprise, her face a little ugly. After all, this is the city she has lived in for many years. If such a strange change suddenly occurs, she will definitely be a little worried. "This is the last and most stringent protective measure, which can even prevent the penetration of devastating light. As long as the protection of the heart of the city does not collapse, the people inside are safe, well, relatively safe."

Xiuer shut his mouth. He was an outsider after all. Although he could see the city heart being actively activated in the City of Roses almost every day these days, he had only seen passive activation a few times. For example, in the City of Roses a few days ago, The time when Capital was fighting against the Great Rift, he had seen it once before when the Great Rift closed and the void evil spirits rushed into the city.

But he had never seen the overload activation that Dak was talking about. Although the information said that when overloaded, the lavender shield color would deepen, but the information did not say that it would become so dark that it would almost turn black. , Tsk, the ominous color is not a good sign no matter how you look at it.

The shield covering the entire city has not disappeared, indicating that the threat of activating the heart of the city has not disappeared, and it is still in effect. However, no matter whether it is visual, auditory or energy perception, no threat can be felt. I don’t know if it is the city. The effect of the heart is so strong that it completely isolates the threat. It is still an unknown threat that cannot be sensed by everyone.

"Calm down, everyone, don't panic. Duck, you must have been here many times and know the way, right? Then you take them to the Water Temple, which is Lady Wendy's sanctuary. Even if the city is destroyed, That’s where things go wrong in the end.”

"Remember to pay more, this is extra work." Dak is indeed a veteran who has experienced many battles. In less than 1 minute, he went from the usual relaxation to the battle state, "Hey, what can make you heartache? You never get tired of doing it.”

"Shut up. After sending them back, stay in the visitor area and don't go anywhere. Even if everyone outside is dead, you are not allowed to leave."

"Needless to say, in times of war, missions take priority."

"Not only will we protect Lisa and the others, but if there is any danger, we should protect the visitors staying in the visitor area if we can, including the priests of the temple. This is a good opportunity."

"Yes, good opportunity. It is said that the skin of the ladies in the Water Temple looks like..."

"Go away, Lisa, you..."

"I understand, I'll go back with him." Without any hesitation, the girl nodded calmly, raised her hand and took off the ring on her head, "Brother, take the crown of the moon and the scepter of the dark moon, in case you touch them. I can withstand danger for a while, I won't encounter any danger in the Water Temple, and it would be a waste to stay here."

"I can't use it. It's useless even if I take it. Forget it, give it to me."

After a moment's hesitation, Shuer quickly took over the two sacred objects. The previous facts proved that he was not completely unable to use the bishop's exclusive sacred objects, but the process was very troublesome and he didn't want to use them at all.But Lisa would definitely not be at ease if she didn't take it with her. Even to reassure her, it would be better to take her with her. Moreover, since we don't even know what happened now, it would be safer to make more preparations.

There was no time wasted talking nonsense. After the relic was handed over, Lisa turned around and left with a few people in the temple without even looking back. However, judging from her tense body, she was actually not at all She was worried and wanted to stay with Xiu'er to help him, but she also knew that the future was unclear, and the best way to help was not to cause trouble at this time. "Little Deer, Sasa, the three of us together." Watching the others leave, Xiuer pondered for a moment with a sullen face, "Go, go and see the situation, at least to find out what happened."

"Yes." The two ladies nodded together. Moria returned to her deer form at some point, and Saff already had the big sword in his hand.

"Put it away. Walking down the street with a weapon like this is going to get you into trouble."

The so-called trouble does not mean that it will cause panic, but that in such dangerous moments, weapons often symbolize safety and protection. Once you are fully armed and walking around with weapons, it will not take long for a large group of people seeking asylum to follow behind you. Ordinary people can't do anything.Even if the weapon is carried on the body, it will be seen by others, but the signal sent is completely different from that of holding it in the hand, and the trouble will be much less.

Shuer was not overly worried, because in just a few minutes, the city had fallen into panic, and all functions were almost paralyzed.Under the painstaking management of the Lion King family for thousands of years, this city has not encountered an urban crisis for hundreds of years. These comfortable citizens have long forgotten how they felt when facing a crisis, except for panic and fear. Besides, I don’t know what to do at all. Compared with the calm citizens of the City of Roses, the reaction of the citizens here is really far worse. Perhaps, this is the price of years of calm.

"Go, don't worry about anything."

There were many people running around in panic. There was no direct threat. Even they themselves didn't know why they were running. It was just that some people around them couldn't bear the fear and started running towards the building. Others followed instinctively. got up.Fighting for the road, pushing, trampling, etc., you don’t need to look at Xiure to know that these will happen soon. Whether someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble, or even commit crimes similar to robbery and murder, depends on the Lionheart family’s usual attitude towards them. The city's control and response speed this time have been compromised. If it takes too long and no one comes forward to explain, then these things will inevitably follow.

But there is no need to worry about the chaos getting to that point in a short period of time. As for whether those idiots running around will trample a few of each other to death because they scare me, that is not within the scope of consideration. I am not calm enough and driven by my emotions. Then you can't blame others even if you die.

"Hurry up, let's go to the palace, Sasa, lead the way." Shuer slapped Safu's thigh hard, letting the red-faced swordswoman behind her walk in front, "If you want to know what happened, the palace is the best If you choose to look for anyone elsewhere, you may not be able to find anyone, but the palace will not. Now all forces, including local officials and foreign guests, are definitely converging on the palace to discuss the current situation. Let's hurry up too Go over there, if it’s a little later, the streets will be in chaos, and it won’t be that easy to get over.”

Indeed, the streets are now becoming more and more chaotic, with cries and screams happening one after another.There is not even a flow of people, because everyone is running around, and the result is that they are crowded and blocked, and no one can pass. People are bumping into each other, and people are crowded together. It looks like a scene of disaster.

Fortunately, the situation has not yet reached its worst point, and the citizens have not completely lost their minds. When they saw three people who were obviously warriors rushing past with stern expressions, no one dared to bother them, and they all chose to give way. The three of them were not in a good mood at first glance, and the surroundings were so chaotic. If they really got into a fight, who knew if they would suddenly attack them, or it would be safer to get out of the way.

"Hey, Soul."

Not far out of the business district, Xiure heard someone calling him. He didn't even need to look back. In this city, he was called without honorifics. It was a man's voice. It must be Feiler who had just been separated not long ago. It's gone.

Turning around, sure enough, the red-haired Ferrers was very obvious in the crowd, and it was not easy not to recognize him. There was another person beside him. If there was no accident, he was also a priest, but he was more than two meters long. His height and explosive muscles were even more exaggerated than those of Poseidon's district bishop whom he had seen before.More importantly, the black bear-like head and fluffy body on the neck, well, the clergyman from the orc grassland mixed with Ferrers, no need to ask, it can only be the Archbishop Ka of the God of War Mil.

"Hey, what a coincidence, you are here too." Without stopping, Xiuer waved to the two of them with a smile on his face, as if he happened to meet two old friends while shopping, but with the The surrounding chaotic background and panicked passers-by seemed particularly inconsistent.

"Are you going to the palace too?" Ferrus was not as relaxed as Xiu'er showed. After all, he was not used to hiding his nervousness in his heart. "Great, let's go together."

"Aren't you two legendary powerhouses?" Xiuer did not stop him and allowed the two of them to join him, but he continued to ask, "Why don't you just fly over there? It's much easier than running."

"I don't know the way. Neither of us has been to the palace."

"Very good, this answer is so philosophical." Shuer rolled his eyes, suddenly jumped up and ran to the roof, "Go up there, there are fewer people. Also, do you two know what happened?"
