I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 424

now.

In the magnificent observatory where steam and Roman sculptures meet in style.

The members of the Sleeping Sect, dressed in black robes, were gathered in circles and praying silently.

Their faces were shrouded in the shadow of their hoods, revealing only pale chins and tightly closed lips, making it impossible to glimpse the true appearance of most people.

This also included Su Wen and Xie Li who were taking advantage of the situation by standing in the back row.

No.

The only person who was slacking off should be Su Wen.

As for the girl guard, she heard Su Wen say that it takes sincerity to play a cultist.

She closed her eyes and tried her best to learn the chants of the people around her and began to imitate them.

Even so, Shelly was still a little nervous. After all, even as the daughter of the Border Earl, her father rarely brought her here.

She unconsciously recalled her experience of coming here.

She was a little sleepy.

The believers' hymns slowly rose and spread into the darkness:
[When night falls, everything returns to silence.

The rest of the gods covers the earth,

In the silent night, I pray devoutly]

Su Wen did not sing along, but just watched everything in front of him silently.

The dome of the observatory is made of transparent glass, inlaid with exquisite brass gears and fine scale lines, forming a huge astronomical map.

Against the backdrop of the night, the star-like lights of the hanging lamps shine through the glass and fall on the black marble floor in the room, like a brilliant galaxy.

The steam rising from the indoor pipes made everything a little hazy.

The time has come to unleash divine magic.

The priest standing in front of the huge dark blue spherical gem in the center of the observatory raised his staff.

In his hand he held a silver scepter inlaid with mysterious symbols, and the tip of the scepter drew mysterious tracks on the floor.

The singing became louder and louder.

[Pray for your grace and blessing.

I commit my soul to you.

Let your soul rest in this tranquility.

Your eyes shine like stars,

It dispelled the fog and confusion within me.

In deep sleep, your power surges like a tide.

Shelly also nervously recited the sentences he taught her, trying to make herself more like a cultist.

But Su Wen just remained silent.

He is waiting for a more appropriate time.
Unlike Lost Sea.

Every three months when the clear point arrives, the stars appear against the curtain of darkness.

Perhaps it was for such a sacred moment that such a special place was built in the royal city of the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

perhaps.

There is also a hint of memories from those castaways about not being able to return to the blue Earth and gaze at the winter stars in the northern hemisphere.

"But why choose such a place with more memorial significance than practical use to hold the sleeping ceremony?"

Su Wen thought of something deeper.

include.

What Jiang Menghan told him in the voice chat was not in the tower complex, but was the destination of his trip:

【Lanterns with afterglow of lights】

This is also related to this.

He thought of something.

The priest presiding over the ceremony in the observatory smashed his silver cane to the ground.

The dormant aura that Su Wen once released in the suburbs of the royal city also emanated in the sound of the glorious hymn:

(Keep it as a reserve item for now. It won’t be too late to study it in depth later.)
He thought about it and snapped his fingers lightly.

now.

An extremely complex front is like a wave of ocean current.

On the back, a card with a dim spiral of stars also appeared between Su Wen's fingers:

[Great Chief Player] [You have discovered the 'Opening the Lost Sea' side activity: Collect decks and find treasures]

【Analyze and visualize the border gate through knowledge of fellow travelers】

[Select the Mist Card 'Black Tide Between Doors (Level 4)']

[Mist Card 'Black Tide Between Doors (Level 4)' Card Effect: Countercurrent psychic tide, covering the established rules with the black tide, causing non-directional distortion of the psychic characteristics]

[Belongs to the Treasure Card Deck 'Sleeping']

[There are seven fog cards in this set]

[Note: When encountering [Mist: Sleeping Church], if you collect a complete set of Mist Cards, you can obtain clues to the corresponding hidden treasure and mark the corresponding location]

Since I got this card.

Su Wen had been thinking about where he could use it.

After all, the non-directional psychic properties still come from the non-directional pollution of the Kuroshio, which can easily cause unnecessary damage.

and so.

He included it as part of the 'opening' of the layout.

The handsome gentleman had a calm smile on his face under the shadow of his black robe.

The glowing card between his fingertips turned into a black vortex in an instant.

instantly.

The system prompts that each line is refreshed instantly:

[Psionic characteristics detected: Prayer - Abyss - Sleep]

[Identified by the "Black Tide Between Doors"]

[Meet the requirements of high-dimensional energy beam]

[Received the intervention signal 'Eternal Night' RTYI286 petitioner]

[The distortion direction is shifted, and the shifted direction is "sleeping"]

[Triggered the random psychic feature of the 'Sleeping' Abyss lineage: Endless Spread - Vidal - Throne of Thorns]

moment.

The dormant aura was completely distorted and transformed into a vigorous aura of reproduction and expansion.

From the secondary energy core of the Stargazing Hall, a spreading cluster of dark blue thorns instantly sprouted, grew, expanded and pierced everything.

Even, it passed through the star cluster carved out of hollow metal.

In the observatory room, which perfectly blends steampunk and ancient Roman church styles, believers are still chanting devoutly late at night.

Their voices echoed in the silent night.

But the sudden birth of the miracle broke the harmony in the room, bringing chaos and unforeseen panic.

Because of the backlash of the magic, the priest suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then fell to the ground. The walking stick in his hand also fell to the ground because he was unable to hold it.

even so,

The dark blue thorn branches did not stop growing and continued to extend in all directions.

It grows.

It enveloped the entire observatory and even pierced through most of the cultists who didn't have time to escape.

A vast forest of dark blue thorns takes root on the observatory's crystals, which continuously supply dormant energy.

Not long after.

Nearly a quarter of the royal city was covered by the dark blue thorns. The huge body of the thorns surrounded the observatory, forming a spectacular sight.

Most of Wang's gorgeous Romanesque steam buildings were covered in thorns, and even the wide streets and dim gas lights were obscured.

“The result is even better than I imagined.”

Su Wen had already left the Stargazing Hall. He said calmly:
"After the door was closed, this group of cultists had difficulty connecting with the Sleeping Lord due to the lack of psychic catalysts.

And most of the energy they once collected and stored in the crystals has now been consumed."

The grand opening was completed on schedule.

Su Wen's layout also gradually unfolded.

But he still noticed a problem, that is, the girl next to him still did not open her eyes.

A deep blue vision unfolded before his eyes:

【Identification: Shelly——Meredith, has been selected by the 'sleeping' aura.

Because it is in the 'crown of thorns', the sublimation state appears corrected.

The upper limit of the life level of "Psychic Characteristic - Never Resurrected" has been broken. 】
