Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 51 The moon is dark, and I have insomnia...

The night is getting darker.

The chapel, which had been noisy for several days, was now completely silent.

The priests quickly cleaned the chapel and dragged their tired bodies back to rest.

Originally, there were people on duty every night, and two patients needed to be treated at a fixed time. Occasionally, there may be cases where the condition suddenly worsens and requires more treatment. So the pastors haven't had much rest lately. And tonight, pastors should be able to get a good night's sleep.

The hour hand of the watch on Fang Qiuling's left wrist is already between the second and third, and the minute hand is also directly above the eleventh. In another two to three hours, the first rays of the morning sun should be shining on the temple's tallest building, the Clock Tower. Pastors who have been tired for a long time want to get a good night's sleep, and it will be tomorrow. Oh...... No, it should still be tonight, because it's already past twelve o'clock.

On the windowsill were several empty bottles and plates, looking like cups and plates.

Fang Qiuling leaned on the other side of the windowsill with his knees half-lying and half-sitting. He seemed to be awake, seemed to be asleep.

The night sky in winter is silent and endless. A waning moon was high above, surrounded by stars.

“…… It's delicious, it's delicious...... Mildis is still going to ......"

There was a small dream sound in the room.

In search of prestige, a short figure was huddled on the bed. I saw that the short body shrunk into a ball, like a cat, coiled in a circle. A dirty blanket was over the figure's stomach, and his fingers were still clutching a few uneaten potato chips.

- What a gluttonous little trouble!

The figure on the windowsill spilled helplessly, and then turned his gaze to the night sky again.

Lying on the bed was undoubtedly a little dwarf named "Mildis Phantom Hand". This "dwarf winter melon" will only show a bit of well-behaved when it is asleep, and when it is awake, it is a big horn that can walk, and it is so noisy that you don't want it. The little dwarf is not only energetic, but also extremely curious. Fang Qiuling has been annoyed enough in the past few days, not only does he need to ride a horse every day, but he also has to face the spiritual bombardment of the little dwarf from time to time, which can be described as miserable......

As for how he fell in love with the little dwarf, how did the little dwarf become partners unknowingly...... Fang Qiuling said that he didn't understand at all, and he didn't understand what was going on until now.

Could it be ...... Could it be that as the protagonist, he finally has the spirit of a tyrant? Next, will you be able to experience the "bow down", and heroes from all walks of life have joined the command?

- Huh!

Of course it's impossible!

I won't talk about the previous things, but the most recent example is right in front of me.

The butler Garras escorted his little master to the backyard of the temple and never came out, and even the other young lady of the earl's family, who was waiting for treatment in the chapel, seemed to have been forgotten by the old butler.

- Say goodbye to the head and worship? What about "winning friendships"? What about the "eternal VIP"? And most importantly, what about the small money that is good?

Is this the quality of the aristocracy? Hey! That's it!

Fang Qiuling is still a simple and good boy in essence. The sledgehammer named "Society" did hit him a few times, and the edges and corners of his head and the thorn head were almost the same as those smashed by the sledgehammer. This makes Fang Qiuling always think about self-protection first, and he will be enterprising only when he is self-protected and worry-free. However, because the sledgehammer of the "society" was only hammered a few times, the hammering was obviously not in place, and there was still a bit of hardness in his bones. Although it is certainly impossible to talk about such a thing as "righteous anger", it is still possible to do it without casually making promises, not casually making promises, and not opening up the river without believing it.

People have one set in front of them, and one set in the back...... Fang Qiuling said that he is studying hard, and he has not yet reached this realm. As for stabbing a knife in the back with a smile on his face, he said that he couldn't learn it yet, and he didn't want to learn it.

Perhaps over time, these ideas and perceptions will change. But at this moment, Fang Qiuling said that he was "fine" and didn't want to change at all.

Fang Qiuling expressed contempt for the housekeeper of Garras, who was suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Regarding the patriarchal behavior of the Garras housekeeper, Fang Qiuling also expressed contempt.

In the former, as long as the old housekeeper handed over the promised gold coins in full, then Fang Qiuling would happily say that "the goods are cleared". Pingshui met, just to take himself out of the rescue. Originally, it had nothing to do with the virtue of "nobility" or something. So it's still a little money that matters!

The latter, which was an internal matter of the Count de Harruth's family, had no position or interest in participating, so he could only pretend not to see it. Elune is still the one who has the biggest fist is justified. The old housekeeper's arms were obviously much thicker than Fang Qiuling's, so it was a better choice to keep his mouth shut......

The cold moonlight fell quietly. Although it is not a full moon tonight, the moonlight is very bright. Seem...... It seems that it is not inferior at all to the night of the full moon.

The night breeze blows by. There is no haze smell in the wind, and it is exceptionally clear. However, you can't take a big breath just because there is no smell of haze, because the window sill where you are currently sitting is not far from the worship hall, and it is still downwind, and if you inhale heavily, it will inevitably have a rather subtle smell into the nasal cavity.

The priests did clean the chapel, but the utensils used to clean the chapel were not cleaned, and they were still piled up outside the chapel. After all, it's late, so it's good to clean the chapel first, and wake up tomorrow with brooms and mops...... No, I woke up today and washed it again.

Fang Qiuling's mind was very clear at the moment, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. Should be...... Insomnia? Yes, that's right, it's insomnia.

There are many causes of insomnia, physiological, psychological, and all kinds of factors can cause insomnia. Fang Qiuling's usual sleep quality is very good, and she rarely suffers from insomnia. Occasionally, I can't sleep because I drink coffee secretly before going to bed, I can't sleep before I have time to play a new game, or I am too excited to travel the next day.

The current situation is obviously not all of the above, but an inexplicable irritability is haunting his heart, making him completely sleepless.

The improvement of physical fitness has reduced the body's need for sleep a lot. In order to accumulate as much mana as possible, Fang Qiuling will also choose to use meditation instead of sleep on weekdays. However, sleep is still irreplaceable, especially when the body has accumulated a lot of fatigue after several days of riding a horse.

Fang Qiuling sat quietly on the edge of the window, staring at the waning moon in the night sky with a cold gaze. The irritability spread in my heart little by little, and even my body began to feel a little hot.

In the process of studying the moon, modern scientists have found that the moon's waxing and waning has a great impact on the earth's tides, and the moon's gravitational pull has a great effect on the earth's oceans and atmosphere. So is the human body also affected by the moon? It is important to know that about 80% of the matter in the human body is liquid, which has many similarities with the ocean. Can the gravitational pull of the moon act on the fluids in the human body in the same way that it causes tides in the seawater, causing a "biological tide" in the human body?

Although it is not possible to draw an accurate conclusion with the current technological means in the world, it is also an indisputable fact that the moon does have an impact on people's emotions.

When the moon is in the sky, especially when the moon is full, people are often more excited and impulsive, mental diseases will show a high incidence trend, and the number of insomnia and mental stress will also double.

In the world of high magic, the moon is magical. The power from the "source" magnifies the symbolism of the moon infinitely, and then gives rise to the realm called "moon". What's more, there is more than one moon entrenched in the night sky of Elune!

The White Moon, which symbolizes goodness, purity, and radiance, the Red Moon, which symbolizes neutrality, mystery, and strangeness, and the Black Moon, which symbolizes darkness, weirdness, and secrecy. The three moons take turns to occupy the night sky, and there are also three deities known as the "moon gods". One of the mysterious realms, the "Moon Domain", is also divided into three.

Before you know it, the waning moon in the night sky disappears behind the layers of dark clouds. The slightly cold night breeze blows by, and there is a special "taste" in the cold. It is the same as the "eighth color", the "taste" peculiar to Mana.

Fang Qiuling relaxed his limbs, his body stretched involuntarily, and he stretched his waist greatly.

The hyperactive Mana made him feel very comfortable, and between the exhalation and the inhalation, it was as if several hands were gently massaging the brain. It also makes the mind more active than usual.

It is impossible for the mana in the environment to change in its free form for no reason. Whether the concentration is increasing or decreasing, there is a reason behind it. It could be that the Gathering Circle hidden under your feet is starting to work, it could be that a spellcaster is casting a high-level spell, or it could be the fall of a god......

Fang Qiuling retracted his stretched limbs, and his gaze looking up at the night sky also fell.

INTERVIEWER At this moment, what is the cause of the increase in the concentration of mana?

At this moment, in the temple of the god of wind, the person who is most likely to cause the concentration of mana to rise is the god of wind, Notos. Could it be the birth of Notos?

The appearance of powerful magical creatures will also cause Mana's rise to the top. Considering that there was a descendant of a silver dragon lying on the bed behind her, could it be that the great-great-great-great-grandmother of the little dwarf had come to look for her junior?

Of course, the most likely cause of changes in mana concentrations is actually the tides of the "source sea". Could it be that the "source sea" that affected Elune began a new round of "rising tide"?

Even if theoretical knowledge is greater than practice, and he will only "talk on paper", Fang Qiuling is still a spellcaster. If it is the caster, he will pay attention to the changes in the mana in his environment, and he will have the idea of finding out.

However, Fang Qiuling was just sitting quietly on the windowsill now, waiting silently. Even though the irritability in his heart had all turned into curiosity, he couldn't make him move.

- Results will be available soon.

What should have come, should have come. It shouldn't have come, but it should have arrived. Let's wait and see what happens......
