dark moon

Chapter 64 The same day that was not peaceful

"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang~~~~"

Four long bells echoed over the city. For Parvatija, who lives 22 hours a day, four o'clock heralds the end of the afternoon.

In the magic area, a pointed cylindrical magic tower floating in mid-air shone with the light of magic and slowly fell from the sky. The huge building slowly touched the ground without making any sound.One kilometer away, another magic tower rose up as if it had received a signal. The newly raised magic tower was in the shape of a four-sided cone, and its golden surface reflected dazzling light in the sunset.

It is obviously a huge building. Let’s not discuss whether it can fly. The fact that the wine bottle does not need a foundation at all goes against almost all architectural knowledge.But people have long been accustomed to it. The world of magic is a mysterious world, just like the realm of gods. There is no need to be surprised by anything that happens in this world.

Pedestrians passing by nearby stopped to watch with interest during the whole process. The four magic towers in the Magic District of the Rose City rotated up and down every few hours. This has become a scenery in the City of Rose.Even the residents of this city who have seen it countless times are very interested in seeing it again, let alone the travelers who come and go.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

In the middle of the city, the heart of the city suddenly flashed three times, and then changed from pure white to mysterious lavender. Although ordinary people can't do it, those professionals who can sense the energy can clearly detect it. When the color changes, the city The protective power emanating from the heart is stronger.

"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang."

Four more bells.

In the craftsman area, the stoves with black smoke in the chimneys began to go out one after another, and the seemingly endless clanging sounds during the day gradually disappeared. The flying sawdust and wood chips were put together again, the scissors were closed, and the leather-making rack was covered. The herbs and glass bottles that exuded strange smells were also put back in the cabinet.

After four o'clock, the craftsmen area closes down. The craftsmen who have worked hard all day will not work overtime at night. Night is the time to enjoy life.

"Click, click," the huge metal gear in the center of the craftsman area began to rotate slowly. As the gear rotated, the dull sound of mechanical operation sounded underground.

Soon, on the edge of the circular city wall with a radius of ten kilometers, four arrow towers tens of meters high slowly emerged from the ground. On the top of each arrow tower were three black and thick cannon barrels facing the outside of the city. From the cannons In the tube, the violent crystal energy can be clearly sensed.

The crystal energy cannon is the most powerful offensive weapon in the world of Parvatiga. Even ordinary people can operate it freely and exert its incomparable power.

Yes, it is extremely powerful, even those demigods who are on the top are not willing to easily challenge the high-power crystal energy cannon head-on, after all, even if they are bombarded by a cannon, they will be very embarrassed, let alone far less Join their ordinary high-level warriors.

Such huge power, of course, comes at a price. The consumption of the crystal energy cannon is extremely terrifying. Even with the smallest power, even ordinary gold or even silver level warriors can easily block the crystal energy cannon. The number of crystals consumed at one time was enough to stop the hearts of two new pastors of a poor church.

What's more, the powerful high-end goods rising from the ground inside the city wall mean that a shot of ten thousand gold coins is consumed. For them, that is simply an astronomical figure.

However, there is definitely no need to consume the crystal energy cannon. It is just a precautionary measure, a precautionary measure against the arrival of night.

The range of the crystal energy cannon is very long. If operated by a mage and through magic observation, it can even cover ten kilometers away, which happens to be where the outer city wall is.Further away, there are vast farmlands and lonely barracks and sentry towers, as well as the dangerous world outside the city.

"Woo~~~"

The horn sounded low, spreading outward from the edge of the city wall, relaying station by station, all the way to the outer city. As the horn blew on the outer city wall, the farmers working outside the city put down their farm work as soon as possible and resisted the farm tools. Returned to the protection of the city wall.

At five o'clock, the outer city gate closed on time, and the soldiers climbed onto the city wall and began their routine daily guard work. The sentry towers on the edge of the city also lit up their beacons one after another, waiting for the night to fall.

As the time gets later and later, the sky gets darker and darker, and the world outside the city gradually falls into a deep sleep. However, inside the city, it is just the opposite, as if it has just woken up.

The street lights turned on, and the crystal energy network emanated from the Magic District, covering the entire city like a spider web along the roads, supplying sufficient energy for the crystal energy street lamps. Under the incandescent light, the streets were brightly lit, like a city that never sleeps.

On the commercial street, some of the shops that were originally open have been closed, but those stores that looked dim during the day have come to life completely. The gorgeous lights, soft music, wafting aromas, and feasting make it hard to leave.

"Wow, this is so beautiful." The six-year-old girl wearing a linen robe opened her eyes wide and looked at a crystal clear crystal ball. In the transparent crystal ball, white debris kept falling automatically and landed on the bottom. The house model makes people feel like they are in the snow.

"Sister Bishop, can I touch this?" The girl named Helen is one of the six orphans adopted by the Dark Moon Temple. Although the little guy is the youngest, he has always been well-behaved and cute, and is rarely like this. Request. "Absolutely not." Before Sister Bishop could speak, the most abhorrent devil in the children's eyes, who had been following her, spoke first, "It's best not to touch such a luxurious toy, in case it breaks if you don't hold it securely. , two gold coins, are you going to pay it yourself, or let the church pay it for you?"

To put it simply, three gold coins are enough for a family of three to live a normal life for a month. Toys with two gold coins are indeed very expensive. Of course, for wealthy people, the price is still acceptable.

"A little bit." Helen turned around and made a face, no longer looking at the shiny crystal ball. Humph, if you don't touch it, don't touch it. What's the big deal? When I grow up and carry forward the church, I will buy it back for ten It's placed next to the bed and you won't be allowed to touch it, hum.

Holding Sister Bishop's hand, the little guy pouted and wanted to leave, but was surprised to find that Sister Lisa didn't take a step and was still standing there, looking at him with bright eyes.

"Helen, you haven't answered my brother's question yet." Lisa's voice was very gentle, she looked a few years older, but she carried a mother-like air, "It's not just Helen, you are the same, my brother is asking you , if someone is not sure and breaks it, who will be responsible?"

"I am responsible for myself!" Eight-year-old Eddie, the oldest of the children, loudly replied on behalf of his younger siblings, "I am responsible for my own mistakes. I will not drag down the church and my sisters."

"What are you responsible for?"

Lisa's questioning made Eddie stunned. Yes, it's easy to say, but what am I responsible for?
"And who will hold you accountable? The only people they can hold accountable are the church, my brother and Talina Meria."

"Think about it carefully. Brother actually just wants you to know that among the ten of us, none of us are isolated individuals. We are all a family, and we form the Dark Moon Church."

"We are not ordinary people, we are people who serve Lord Dark Moon. Every action we take does not only represent ourselves, but represents the goddess, the church, and all of us. Even if you don't admit it, others will That’s how you look at it.”

"Remember, the Dark Moon Church will support you behind every action you take. Likewise, you must be responsible for each action you take to the church and to other people. So think more about the consequences before doing something next time. Think about what it will do for everyone so that it really feels like close family."

"We understand." The six children nodded vigorously. Orphans are always precocious. Although they don't quite understand the reason, they have already kept Lisa's words in their hearts.

"Miss pastor, although I don't really object to you teaching the children, but you are blocking my shop door in a row, which is affecting my business."

When he turned around, he saw the owner of the sundry store standing in front of the door with a grimace. It seemed that he had been standing there for a while.

"Ah, sorry, sorry." The girl smiled awkwardly, "We'll leave right away."

"Wait a minute, the scene when you were reasoning with the children just now is so similar to when my eldest daughter taught her younger brothers and sisters. I almost saw her before she got married. Thank you for letting me recall the past. So, I’ll give this little toy to you. Although I don’t know which church you belong to, just consider it a small donation from me.”

"Oh?" The girl looked at Xiure, then at the shopkeeper, smiled thoughtfully, nodded slightly, "Then thank you shopkeeper, on behalf of Sunless Moon, thank you for your generous gift."

"It should, it should." The shopkeeper pinched an extra gold and a half coin in his pocket with an honest smile on his face.

"The Lord is merciful, and those who have devout faith will surely receive the Lord's gifts." Holding up the spar ball, Lisa was serious like a real priest, slowly drawing circles on her chest, "Thanks to the goddess. Your piety and loyalty have given you, through the hands of strangers, what you most desire.”

"Praise the Lord, praise Dark Moon." The children have long been accustomed to how to respond. They lined up in a row with their heads lowered and responded with the same gesture, "Thank you Dark Moon for your kindness, thank our Lord for your gift, and may Dark Moon stay forever." Hanging curtain."

"Brother, can you give this to them?" From an angle that the children couldn't see, the girl playfully stuck out her tongue at Xiure, showing a sly smile.

"It was given to you, not to me. If it was given to me, I wouldn't let these dead children play with it."

"Hehe, brother, you are like this every time. Little guys, this means that brother has agreed (hey!), but please leave it here with me first until you go home after dinner..."

The girl suddenly couldn't speak anymore, because the originally dark sky suddenly felt a burst of energy fluctuations. At the same time, a dazzling light flashed from the top of the magic tower floating in the distance.
