Arcane Lord

In the garden of the temple, Sha Duo and Niya were discussing the scarlet star in the northwest sky. After a while, Ai Burke's message came over. He also saw the star, but Ai Burke didn't know that star either. Case.

As for Bishop Ambril, he came to the garden in person and explained to Chateau:

"Lord Shado, there is a saying in "Proverbs", 'The stars in the sky are all my children, but I only love Suellen and give her the glory second only to me.'

"Therefore, the temple is equipped with special stargazers to record the stars of each season every year. Before I came here, I specifically asked about it. There was no record of that star in the temple in the past."

"The Holy Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" is not unfamiliar to Shado, or rather he is very familiar with it. When he first learned Nese writing, he mainly learned it from "Proverbs". There are indeed things like "Children of the Stars" and "Beloved Selun" in it. if.

However, this was the first time he had heard of Star Gazer. Xia Duo guessed that this might have something to do with the calendar. Of course, it might also have something to do with prophecy, or simply the implementation of the doctrine.

There were obviously dedicated astrologers recording the stars, but there was no record of the scarlet flashing star. Bishop Ambril's answer made Shado a little disappointed.

He thought the bishop could tell something different, but he didn't expect that he also said "I don't know"!

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Bishop Ambril. If there is no record, there is no record. It is not necessary to let others make up one on the spot. Although the specific information of the scarlet flashing star cannot be obtained, this at least illustrates one problem -

That star has never appeared in the history of Savile Territory. It should have suddenly appeared recently!

No!

It is very likely that it only appeared during the day today, but because the sun was too bright during the day, no one noticed it. If it were before today, even before sunrise today! How could no one notice such an obvious star?

Before sunrise, he and Niya participated in the sun-rising ceremony of the Midsummer Festival and watched the sun rise throughout the process. Before the sun rose, he had already arrived at the ceremony.

If there had been such an obvious star in the sky before that, how could anyone have discovered it!

…

After Bishop Ambril left, Shado once again looked at the scarlet star in the northwest sky. As the sun gradually set on the horizon, half of the sky that was rendered golden by the setting sun gradually dimmed and returned to the true color of night.

At this time, the sky was not completely dark yet, but the stars were clearly shining.

The most unique one is the scarlet flashing star, which is particularly obvious against the dark night——

Flashing like a drop of blood that never melted, it fell into the water and continued to smudge, dyeing the sky around it into a dull rusty red, giving people a slightly weirder feeling than before.

Sha Duo couldn't help but frown, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger. He looked at Niya and said solemnly: "When you return to Severton, you must inquire about the situation of the shining star. I have a very uncomfortable feeling. A good feeling."

"What do you know?" Niya also frowned and asked.

"I don't know, but just seeing how it appeared so suddenly and the unsettling color, would you say it's normal?"

Niya didn't speak. She seemed to agree with Sha Duo's statement. She looked at the northwest sky and showed a hint of worry. "I will inquire carefully when I return to Giles Tower, but I think we can see it here. In Sai Wen Dun should also be able to see it, maybe there has been a conclusion there, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. "

She didn't believe what she said, so she changed the subject by drinking tea, "It's getting dark, let's go to the side hall!"

"good!"

Xia Duo couldn't sit here any longer. He just hoped that time would pass faster and that today would pass quickly. On this day, too many things happened.

Compared with the mysterious shining star in the northwest sky, it seems that even the drow crisis is nothing.

…

When they arrived at the side hall, a priest was preparing sacrifices and magic tools for the last "dormant ceremony" in the evening. Xia Duo looked at it for a while and then lost interest. At this time, there were still several hours before the ceremony, so he told Niya With a sound, he left the temple through the back door.

Behind the temple is the west area of ​​Savile Town, or the civilian area. Most of them are local small businessmen, craftsmen, soldiers and other people who have the ability to settle down in the town.

Jibu's home is here, but Jibu is still in Daxia Territory at this time, and Xia Duo has no intention of visiting his home. He just wants to go out and relax. Listening to the cheers and shouts not far away, he I felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

Xia Duo stopped in front of a bonfire at an intersection. The flames were rising with wisps of green smoke. Even the air field on the surface of the body could not resist the pungent smell of cheap spices. He tried desperately to shoot Xia Duo's nose. Drill inside.

Ah and——

Xia Duo sneezed heavily and rubbed his nose. He did not expand the airspace he controlled, nor did he cast any shielding spells. He just moved a little further away.

He didn't hate the smell of fireworks, but he liked it very much.

After walking around the outside of the central square, Sha Duo returned to the temple. At this time, it was almost time. At the reminder of the temple priest, he and Niya walked out of the main entrance of the temple.

Then, the "dormant ritual" begins.

…

After the ceremony, Xia Duo did not stay in Savile Territory, nor did he return to the Tower of Time. Instead, he teleported directly back to Daxia Territory.

The location he teleported back to was on the west side of Altar Square, near the Wolfburg River. However, as soon as he returned, he found something was wrong. The surroundings were too quiet.

Of course, it is also possible that he had just returned from the noisy environment of Savile Town, and the contrast was different.

On the other side of the altar square is Leiden's office, facing the lord's villa further east. Shado saw that there was still light coming from there, so he sent a message to Leiden, and at the same time passed the warning magic and headed east Go.

Before he could reach the altar in the center of the square, Leiden had already greeted him. After a salute, he said, "Sir!"

"No need to be polite, why is it so quiet tonight? Isn't there any celebration?" Sha Duo asked.

He himself had given instructions. After all, Midsummer's Day is also a legal holiday in Netheril. Even slaves can get preferential treatment on this day that they don't usually get, let alone his own subjects!

"Sir, there was a celebration, but in the evening, a strange flashing star suddenly appeared in the sky. The new group of citizens were a little uneasy, so I ended the celebration early. If you come back early, you might be able to see it. arrive."

"That's it!" Sha Duo felt that Leiden's response was quite reasonable. If it were him, he might have made a similar decision. At most, he would just say some words of comfort in the name of the lord.

"In that case, you should go and rest early!"

"Yes, sir!"
