Chapter 1282 “Photo Erosion”
No one knows what happens in the Holy Land. For secular countries, what is visible and tangible is what deserves their concern. The tide of chaos still shows no sign of weakening, but thanks to a certain "miracle", the situation is no longer as precarious as it was a few days ago. Now the darkness has not receded, but the Sunburn Towers of each kingdom have The lights are back on, and the biggest crisis seems to be over.
The court halls of every country were discussing the light that pierced the sky the day before yesterday. Scholars and mystics were debating the possible causes of this phenomenon with red faces, while the kings were more concerned about the power brought by that light. How long did it last? The pillar of light at that time gradually dissipated after lasting for more than ten minutes, but the mysterious energy it brought reactivated every extinguished Sunburn Tower in a way that mortals could not understand. Scholars could not explain it. The principle of this charging can only be generally said to be some kind of divine power resonance. The Sunburn Tower obtained temporary energy from the resonance, but as for how long this energy can be used... no one knows at all.
Because the Sunburn Towers in various countries all entered a strange operating mode after the light hit them, their original energy monitoring systems were all burned down. Now the operation of the towers is completely out of common sense. Those tower maintenance personnel who used to be arrogant in the past Now I can only stare at the downed control circle.
While the entire secular world is busy discussing the source of that light, the source of the light is caught in another level of confusion.
One-third of the White City needs to be mobilized and relocated. Various consequences caused by the "light eclipse" phenomenon are being intensively assessed. Countless magic items and magical equipment have been destroyed by the energy explosion. The good news is that the entire There were no casualties in the accident. The bad news was that the incident caused huge confusion throughout the city. Even the king himself and all the administrative officials were confused, so that no one knew how to explain it for a while.
In addition, there are no typos in the four words "the whole city is confused".
Hao Ren, the king's family and Archmaester Alfred stood on the top platform of the Golden Rose Palace, looking at the highlands in the north of the city - that's where the Tower of Sunburn was originally located. In fact, that tower still stands today. On the high ground, it's just... its condition is a bit weird.
With the high tower as the center, the surrounding area with a radius of many kilometers is a bit weird.
Large areas of transparent structures cover the tower body and the ground, as if these places are invisible. The transparent areas have no fixed shape. They are randomly distributed strips. The smallest one may only be as big as a palm, and the largest one is almost the size of a palm. A house, and these transparent areas are not fixed yet: they move around the Sunburn Tower and the Highlands, as if they are alive.
Viewed from a distance, it gives the impression that the Sunburn Tower and its surrounding areas have become fragmented, some of their areas have disappeared out of thin air, and the scope of these disappearances is still moving...
In addition, the Sunburn Tower and its surrounding areas are also shrouded in a layer of faint white light. This white light is much brighter than the faint light released by the tower before. However, in this case, no one can see it anymore. Notice this little anomaly.
Hao Ren remembered what happened before - when he poured an excessive amount of pure source blood into the energy pool of the Sunburn Tower, the power in the source blood was completely released instantly, and the power from the goddess of creation was poured into mortals. In the device, the direct result is that it permanently changes the rules of an area - when the white light flashes, there are no casualties, but many incredible phenomena occur.
The current state of the Sunburn Tower is one of the phenomena. Scholars have given this phenomenon a name, called "light eclipse".
"The mystics believe that the 'light eclipse' phenomenon is a phase deflection," Aniya said softly, "This area has undergone a phase change under the influence of divine power, causing the entire area to be in a different phase. Continuously switching, the transparent substances are not sent away, we just can’t see them anymore, they can still be touched.”
"It's all nonsense." Rudolf III knocked on the air in front of him, but there was a slight collision sound in the air: there was the balcony railing, but it was temporarily invisible. "I can see this myself. "
While His Majesty the King was speaking, the transparent range of the Golden Rose Palace was also moving. The outline of the iron railings appeared in front of his eyes from left to right. Upon seeing this, Veronica immediately put her hands on the railings and then breathed softly. .
Hao Ren just smiled awkwardly and said nothing. After all, he was 100% responsible for the situation in front of him...
Ania shook her head and continued: "The energy shock destroyed many magic devices in the city. The mages are working overtime to repair the damaged things. More and more residents are leaving the northern city. The light erosion has seriously affected Mr. Wales is very busy with their daily life, and he has complained to Uncle Luen and me more than once."
His Majesty the King nodded and turned to look at Grand Maester Alfred: "Have you found out the other dangers of photoerosion?"
The Grand Maester shook his head. He knew what the king was concerned about: "No real harm has been observed, Your Majesty. At present, it is only known that it will cause metals and rocks to change, making them transparent, but it has no effect on living things and biological products. Impact, this seems to be just an optical phenomenon, but... it is an optical phenomenon that cannot be explained."
Hao Ren coughed twice: "Ahem, I'm sorry. It seems like I've caused you quite a lot of trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Rudolf III immediately waved his hand and looked at Hao Ren sincerely: "No, compared to the benefits, this trouble is nothing. At least you ensured the survival of our kingdom - Sunburn Tower. It’s definitely reignited, although…it’s in a bit of a weird shape.”
The Tower of Sunburn has been rekindled, which is why Hao Ren can still stand here with peace of mind after triggering the explosion of divine power. Although the cause of the side effect of "light erosion" has not yet been investigated clearly, at least his guess about the effectiveness of the source blood is still close to ten. The energy in the source blood did activate the tower again, and even more than just activated - The power of the tower has also been greatly enhanced.
News from around White City has already been placed on Rudolf III's desk. The news mentioned that fire towers and furnace devices in various places have been strengthened exponentially after the flash of light that night. Now they are all Working with unprecedented efficiency, this means that the order barrier of the Talos Kingdom has been doubled out of thin air.
Faced with such good news, Rudolf III certainly would not take a "little optical phenomenon" to heart.
"Let the scholars continue their research. The king should focus on the affairs of the kingdom." Rudolf III finally sighed, turned and left the terrace, and the others followed him.
When they came to the steps of the terrace, the transparent area of the Golden Rose Palace changed again. This time it became transparent, and it was the stairs that made them die...
A large group of people looked at each other in confusion. In the end, Archmaester Alfred walked in front bravely. The rest of the people fumbled and held on to the invisible wall as they moved down step by step. Veronica walked along He muttered: "This place is really untenable...Father, when are we going to move?"
"Don't make trouble, how can the majestic Talos royal family be challenged by this little thing..."
"But Father, you hit the wall three times this morning..."
Rudolf III: "..."
"And broke a door."
Rudolf III: "..."
Hao Ren walked at the back. He didn't care about when the king's family would move. He was just thinking about the cause of the phenomenon in front of him. The appearance of anything must have its own logic, even supernatural things like source blood. In fact, precisely because it is source blood, the phenomena it causes should be more in line with the cosmic laws of the dream plane - because The true God represents the law of the universe.
While Hao Ren was thinking, some strange sights suddenly flashed past the corner of his eye.
He looked up in surprise, and suddenly saw a silver-white metal plate floating in the air next to him - the metal plate seemed to be the corner of a table on the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, and on the metal plate, "Get out of here" "Zheng Zheng stared blankly here, staring at him with big eyes and small eyes.
The cat girl still held a half-opened fish can in her hand: judging from her sneaky attitude, she seemed to be stealing food, and the way she stared at Hao Ren was as if she had seen a ghost.
"Get out?!" Hao Ren couldn't help shouting in surprise.
The stupid cat also seemed to be frightened. She jumped up and down, then pressed her canned fish tightly: "Meow, meow, meow, meow?"
The movement here finally alerted Veronica who was walking in front. Princess Knight turned back curiously: "Guardian? Who are you talking to?"
With just such an interruption, the figure of "Gun" and the image of the small corner of the table disappeared.
Hao Ren blinked, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Faced with the curious gazes of Veronica and others, he shook his head: "It's okay, I might have been hallucinating just now. This place is really weird now."
