I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

If an ordinary person comes into contact with this, they will be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of knowledge and suffer severe intellectual pollution.

But Lu Ban is fine.

Although those ramblings haven't finished yet and are still nagging in my ear like an old woman, Lu Ban finds them acceptable.

From these ramblings, Lu Ban roughly learned a few things.

The cause of the demonic tide was indeed the Blood Moon. Only when the Blood Moon descends do these demons possess the power to descend upon the Night Kingdom. And the Blood Moon is the result of the corruption by a certain great being.

The reason why monsters fear sunlight is also related to the blood moon. When the radiance of the blood moon is obscured by other, stronger lights, monsters quickly lose their vitality and become extremely vulnerable.

The effects of the Spirit Torch and the Eternal Blazing Sun are actually quite similar; both create intense light to weaken the glow of the Blood Moon in order to combat monsters.

Finally, it is the most important point.

That great being was sealed on the moon of the Night Kingdom.

Unlike Earth, due to the Earth's revolution and rotation, the Moon always presents one side of itself to Earth, so people can only see one side of the Moon.

However, in the Land of Night, due to various conditions, the other side of the moon may rotate to face the Land of Night under certain circumstances.

That side is the sealed body of that great being.

That red moon was stained with His blood.

These demons were created by the evil gods who were born from the wisps of will that the great being was sealed away, in a state of half-dream and half-awake.

Originally, these evil gods attacked each other and rejected each other's existence, which is why only one wave of demonic tide would appear.

However, as the will of that great being gradually revived, these wills also gradually merged, leading to the emergence of the triple demonic tide.

In the end, there might be a situation where the remaining eleven waves of demonic energy attack the Night Kingdom simultaneously.

"Therefore, when facing monsters, the most important thing is to prevent the blood moon's light from shining on them."

Lu Ban was struck by inspiration.

"Or, if you can do that, you can create a huge barrier to completely block out the moon. If the moonlight cannot reach the ground, then the resurgence of those monsters will be extremely slow."

He said.

"Block the moon?"

Jonah imagined it for a moment and thought that Lu Ban might really have something wrong with his brain.

"Either build a giant cage to enclose the entire planet, so that you can't see the moon at all."

Lu Ban then made another suggestion.

"I will tell Gray Tower what you said."

Jonah couldn't imagine that situation; he remembered something else.

"By the way, Birmingham needs to see you. He seems to be on guard duty at the watchtower."

Chapter 275 Dawn is Coming

Lu Ban arrived at the watchtower, where the sun was dazzling and it was still hot despite the support of magic.

Birmingham stood in front of the tower, looking at the Black Forest, which had cracked and turned into parched land.

Having survived a brush with death, the young man has clearly matured a lot.

"Hey."

Lu Ban greeted them and climbed up the tower.

Birmingham's expression shifted, but ultimately settled on one of delight.

"It looks like you're completely alright now."

"No problem, I can still do several sit-ups now."

Lu Ban stretched his arms.

"I thought I was the eldest brother, but now it seems you are the eldest brother."

Birmingham smiled, then sighed.

"None of the people from Black Pine Town were able to return. Within hours of the arrival of the demonic tide, those who had not yet had time to evacuate were already killed."

“There are millions of people like this.”

Lu Ban also looked towards the other side of the horizon.

"It's already a blessing to have survived when the demonic tide came. Don't have too much burden or guilt for not being able to save more people. You've done a great job."

He comforted Birmingham.

In such a hopeless world, being too responsible and trying to carry too much will only make one more desperate; being carefree might actually make things a little easier.

"I see."

Birmingham nodded.

"After the demonic tide ends, I want Lord Jonah to take me to the Gray Tower."

He added.

"I have never been exposed to magic before, and I don't know if I am qualified, but I still want to become a mage. I want to do my part when the magic tide comes."

"Then let us hope that a god will respond to you."

Lu Ban recalled the scene where no one answered him back then, and suddenly felt that he should find Jonah and ask him to make a new user agreement for him, to see if there was any god in the Night Kingdom who could answer him.

"Furthermore, I heard from Lord Jonah that the Grey Tower is now preparing to implement some new measures to prevent the demonic tide."

Birmingham said with great interest.

"They plan to send two mages in a group to the edge of the Black Forest to observe the monsters more closely; I think they're called 'Wanderers'..."

"Agent."

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Birmingham nodded repeatedly, but did not notice the change in Lu Ban's expression.

"Agent..."

Lu Ban suddenly realized something.

Sia said she was a quasi-Agent, and this system had been in place in the Gray Tower for over a hundred years. The evil god's kin in Drywater Town was sealed and dealt with by the Agents.

Therefore, the era of Sia is at least a century away from the time when the Agents first appeared, and should be on roughly the same timeline as the Drywater Town.

Therefore, the era of the Night Kingdom that Lu Ban is currently in should be at least a hundred years before the era of Xi Ya.

This means that the Kingdom of Night will continue to exist for at least a century after Birmingham.

Furthermore, judging from Sia's performance, the demonic tide in the Night Kingdom should be under some control and is no longer a major event capable of destroying the world.

"what happened to you?"

It was only then that Birmingham noticed Lu Ban's distraction and waved in front of him, asking a question.

"No, it's nothing."

Lu Ban snapped out of his daze.

This feeling is wonderful.

If Lu Ban were to tell Birmingham that the future he hoped for truly exists, that what he protected has indeed been protected, and that the future of the Night Kingdom is as he wished, the young man might only think that Lu Ban was talking nonsense.

"Live well, and I hope you can witness all of this."

Lu Ban patted Birmingham on the shoulder, leaving him puzzled.

"Ah."

Birmingham simply nodded, taking it as Lu Ban encouraging him.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to return it to you before."

Lu Ban pulled out another nameplate, which was engraved with the name of the Ranger. Although it was not used in most cases, everyone still carried it with them.

When Birmingham was entangled by the Night's Families, the nameplate fell off in the chaos, was later picked up by someone, and eventually ended up in Lu Ban's place.

Lu Ban touched the nameplate and looked at the words on it.

Birmingham Quirrells.

This should be Birmingham's name.

"……Um?"

Lu Ban only realized what was happening after Birmingham took the nameplate.

I never thought of that before, but isn't the surname Quillris exactly the same as Sia's?

In other words, this guy might be an ancestor like Xia's great-great-grandfather?

If I hadn't intervened to save Birmingham, Sia would have disappeared.

Or perhaps it was all destined that I would come here and save Birmingham because I met Xia first?

The flow of time in the Silent Land is not uniform, and the timing of the missions also defies common sense. If the Demon Tide is a contest and game between two groups of gods, then is Lu Ban's journey through other realms to complete missions another example of a higher being using the chosen ones to play a game?

Lu Ban was once again filled with doubt.

But time did not give him more room for doubt.

As the countdown in their field of vision came to an end, a kind of tremor that transcended space rose in everyone's heart.

Lu Ban looked up and saw the blood moon gradually fade, the terrifying crimson turning into a cold silver-white.

The entire restless black forest suddenly fell silent.

He turned off the radio, and the blazing sun suddenly disappeared.

Lu Ban saw the moon gradually setting and the first light of dawn in the east.

In the darkest hour before dawn, light appears.

Dawn breaks.

Birmingham looked at the long-awaited sunrise and was filled with mixed emotions.
