Winter......

Closing his eyes and leaning against the magic tree, Cervantes let out a white breath.

Even though the frost and snow had covered the land, the magic tree was still lush and green, and the snow that had piled up on its branches and leaves was shaken to the ground from time to time, so that the ground outside the city walls was covered with snow.

Feeling the frenzied gaze floating from behind him, the black dragon moved his body a little uncomfortably.

Nearly a month had passed since that battle, during which time Grush had fully recovered and left the territory of the Duchy of Grief.

During this time, in addition to his body returning to normal, his 'bad luck' seems to have recovered.

As long as he walked around, something would inevitably happen, which had to make them wonder if the paladin had been noticed by the goddess of doom, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he was so 'unlucky'.

However, for him, a holy warrior, this kind of thing may be considered a kind of 'luck'.

Grush left the Duchy of Sorrow half a month ago, and Cervantes had already returned here twenty days ago, the dragon's recovery ability was not covered, and he was not seriously injured in that battle.

Yawning boredly, Cervantes counted the days a little......

It's been two or three days since the Great Wall was built, and if I'm not mistaken, Sera must be adjusting her state and preparing for the work of activating the circle.

Just as he had been seeing mages walking around the walls for the past few days, the walls were wide enough for several carriages to travel in parallel, and the time it took to cross the entire northern part of the duchy through the wall could be greatly reduced.

It is not only conducive to the mobilization of the army, but also able to resist the monsters of the Black Forest, killing two birds with one stone.

The time should be almost up, and I will almost be able to go back!

A few months later, Cervantes missed living in Winde City, at least it wouldn't be as boring as it was here.

The black dragon's eyes widened.

He suddenly felt that the magic around him was being pulled by a powerful attraction, causing a breeze to rise between the heavens and the earth, and the magic energy gathered into a river, gathering in the direction behind him.

Here we go?!

Three days ago, a notice had been posted outside the mall informing people that after three days, public facilities such as the mall and the library would be closed for one day.

Although there is no explanation, this rash decision has not been opposed and complained by many people.

The maid sat in a room on the top floor of the Mage's Tower, with only a few chairs and a huge crystal ball in the center of the room, but nothing else.

Ziegler is not very interested in this matter, he has been immersed in the ocean of mathematics for a long time, and he is not uninterested in this kind of huge magic circle activation ceremony that can involve a principality, but he is not so interested.

So there were only two people in this room, Serena and Latinia each sitting in a chair, Serena looking at the crystal ball and Latinia looking at Serena, because she really couldn't understand what was going on with the flickering numbers and runes in the crystal ball.

Although she can't read it, it doesn't prevent her from watching the excitement!

"This will be the control center of the entire Duchy of Sorrow. ”

With the faint fluorescence of the crystal ball reflected in her eyes, the maid spoke lightly of her ambitions.

With her ambition, she will definitely not only let the circle cover the northern border of the principality, she will make the entire principality form a magic circle, and even a 'lost lock'!

She couldn't stay in this world forever, but she could leave something for Edith before she left.

The world will be shocked when the locks that can envelop the whole country appear, but not now.

Today, the productivity of the principality has not yet reached the point where it can cover the entire territory, and there is still a long way to go to achieve this.

The huge crystal ball floated silently in the center of the room, and even though the surrounding light was bright, the controller sitting in the room could see the flickering numbers and runes inside the crystal ball.

Information from all over the northern part of the Principality flows into the crystal ball through the faith network of the Church of Fortune, and Latinia is the 'gateway' to the network, of course, only because it is more convenient.

There was nothing like a 'console' in the room, and everything had to be controlled by the controller using magic.

This is also one of the manifestations of the Principality's current productivity and technological substandard, at least in the maid's vision, the control center should be a device that even ordinary people can operate.

As a 'node', the magic furnace is connected by the leylines, so as long as it does not affect the geological structure and does not change the direction of the leylines' flow, then the circle will not cause damage.

However, this is not enough insurance, in the future, the artificial power grid and magic net will cover the entire principality, gradually replacing the leylines, becoming the basic structure of this magic circle, and when the power grid and magic net are spread throughout the principality, she can almost start to prepare for the magic lock that can cover the entire principality.

Serena never believed that any gods, demons and the like could fulfill her wishes, bless her life with peace, happiness needs to be fought for by herself, and peace will not fall from the sky.

It's like now—

The maid Huo Ran stood up and pressed her palm against the surface of the crystal ball.

Latinia was slightly stunned, and then she felt the magic around her begin to surge, like a precursor to a storm.

On the sea, when a storm comes, the sea will become turbulent, and Latinia now has a sense of 'dreaming back to the past'.

It's just that back then, she was on a sea boat and fought against the moody goddess of the sea, but now she just has to sit where she is and don't care about anything.

Because Sera will take care of everything!

The runes in the crystal ball flickered frequently, and the numbers kept jumping, and judging by Sera's reaction, it was about to start......

The churning mana fluctuates so much that even if it's not near the Mage Tower, anyone with a keen sense of magic can sense the powerful fluctuation.

Especially the silver dragons and warlocks living in Wende City, the clarity of the magic fluctuations even made them wonder if the magic furnace was about to 'explode'.

However, the maid had already informed them before that, so although they were a little frightened, they didn't really get flustered.

Under the control of the maid, the magic power output by the magic furnace is linked to the leylines, and the 'signal' passes through the leylines and is transmitted to the three fortresses in the north.

Even far beyond the Great Wall, Cervantes could feel the leylines 'churning'.

On the surface, it doesn't seem to be much different from usual, except that the wind blowing from the Black Forest is not cold, but a little warm.

But with the power of nature, how can such a little movement be explained?

With the surging power of the leylines, Cervantes leaped down, feeling a slight tremor coming from under his feet.

It's not an earthquake, it's just that the earth's 'blood vessels' are 'pulsating'!

Use the magic power of the magic furnace to drive the flow speed of the leyline's magic power, accelerate the transmission of energy, and outline the earth with the power of the leyline—this is the truth of this ritual!

The magic furnaces in the three fortresses have not yet been officially activated, but it is estimated that they have entered the warm-up stage.

Cervantes budgeted his time a bit...... Forget it, no matter so much!

"Enter Level 3 Alert!"

The shouts of the officers were heard from the city walls, and it was clear that the news had been delivered here.

With the unnatural convergence of magical power, monsters and monsters will also get moving, which is often mentioned in the game as 'monster siege'.

Before the Border Barrier Circle can be officially activated, they will need to go through a fierce battle to defend the city, and they will have to defend it!

Cervantes turned his head to look north, and that was the most troublesome......
