Roland Empire, Rhine Province, Silver Moon City. The wind in late spring swept finely cornflower over the bluestone wall of silver moon No.1 Middle School, reflecting the six-pointed magic circle being arranged on the playground to many-hued. Erin Mercer rubbed the gold medallion on the cuff of her school uniform, which was the only relic left to her by her mother-a broken astral parliamentary emblem. After the rainstorm night five years ago, no one could tell the whereabouts of the parliamentary cardinal Qinglia Nova. [ Astral Parliament, as the highest magical authority of the empire, was divided thirty years ago because of the "eclipse of the moon", and Leah was once an innovator leader who advocated the coexistence of man and magic ].
"Students, after today, you will embark on different star orbits." Principal Gavin Hawke's voice is mixed with the buzz of the magic circle. The shoulder armor of the 65-level paladin is also engraved with the meritorious service of resisting the demon tide ten years ago. "But please remember that the profession has never been high or low, and only those who stick to their true intentions can leave their mark on the long river of the astral world." His eyes swept Irene at the end of the queue intentionally or unintentionally. When the girl hung her eyes, her eyelashes cast a butterfly-like shadow at the moment, which overlapped with the figure that silently submitted the "special transfer application" in the principal's office. [Three months ago, Irene applied to the school for the use of the forbidden astral compass on the grounds of "investigating the mother's disappearance"].
Kathleen's elbow suddenly bumped into her ribs: "Hey, what are you thinking?" The 190-year-old boy is wiping the sweat from his forehead with cuffs, and his bronzed skin glows healthy in the sun. "I just saw Master Marcus cloth an improved version of the star-orbit positioning array, and the array eye actually used three-level star crystal." He lowered his voice and unconsciously rubbed his fingertips on the spike necklace between his necks, which was an adult gift left by his orc mother. "I heard that the Nanfeng fortress was broken last year because of the spiritual fault of the array mage ... [In the Battle of Nanfeng fortress, the orc allied forces used the" blood pact summoning "to reverse the war, but Keith's father was accused of collaborating with the enemy as a human array mage]"
After saying his word, three black shadows suddenly flashed under the oak tree in the northwest corner of the playground. Irene's pupils suddenly contracted-it was the crow feather coat of arms peculiar to the Dark Eclipse Order. Three years ago, at the edge of the eclipse forest, she had witnessed this coat of arms appearing on her mother's pursuers. She quietly approached the astral compass at her waist, and the twenty-eight lines on the surface of the compass were glowing with abnormal light. [The Dark Eclipse cult worships the ancient evil god, the Lord who eclipses the moon, and carries out the extinction plan in the name of "purifying mankind". Its core members all master the "Shadow Crow Possession"].
"First place, Lucas Nova!"
With Gavin's roll call, the emaciated teenager staggered into the array. The six-pointed star suddenly burst into harsh golden light, and Irene noticed that Master Marcus wielandt's fingertip pressed the array for three more seconds-that was the encrypted gesture of the Astral Council's "Eye of the Silvermoon". When the word "farmer" appeared on Lucas' head, there was an almost imperceptible black fog in the depths of the magic circle, which was as fleeting as a snuffed candle.
"Farmers, peasants ....." Lucas's voice was trembling, and there were sporadic comforting sounds around him. Irene stared at the array pattern that had not disappeared under his feet, and the stars that should have rotated clockwise were trembling slightly in the counterclockwise direction at the moment. She suddenly remembered her mother's handwritten note: "When the star orbit goes backwards, the gear of fate will start to reverse ..." [The page of Leah's handwritten note shows that the counterclockwise star orbit is the starting sign of "the eclipse of the moon", which can tamper with career judgment]
"Next, Erin Mercer."
The playground suddenly fell silent. Keith patted her hard on the shoulder, and Sera Winter cast a worried look from the front end of the team-this girl, known as "one China and two stars", noticed that Master Marcus had a sudden contraction of the pupil behind the lens when he saw the list. [Serra, as a genius of water system, once joined hands with Irene to repair the broken astral fissure in the freshman trial] Irene took a deep breath. At the moment of stepping on the array, the compass suddenly buzzed, and her mother's emblem was hot in her palm. She heard a hoarse voice in her mind: "Be careful of the third star nucleus in the array ..."
The light of the six-pointed star is three times stronger than that of Lucas. In the silver light and rain, Irene saw countless fragments of memories flashing: the Astral Tower collapsed in the rainstorm, the bloody parliamentary documents, and the mysterious man wearing a bronze mask. His chest also flashed with black fog similar to the coat of arms of the Dark Etching Order ... When the light faded, she heard the voice of Master Marcus with an imperceptible trembling: "[Hidden occupation: Astral watchdog (not)
Amid the commotion, Irene noticed that under the oak tree in the northwest corner, a boy in a gray scarf was talking by voice, and the crow feather crest on his fingertips was looming in the shade. At the moment, President Gavin is talking to Marcus in a low voice. The veins stood out on the hilt of the sword, while the black light spots representing the Dark Erosion Sect are gathering rapidly on the array of the latter. [Marcus's array belongs to the secret system of the parliament "Tianji Pavilion", which can monitor the magic fluctuation within 100 kilometers in real time]
"Attention, everyone!" Gavin suddenly drew his sword, and the holy power condensed into a bright light blade at the tip of the sword. "Unknown forces invaded! All main battle occupations are ready to form a knot, and auxiliary occupations protect the wounded-"His eyes are swept to Irene, who is pulling Lucas behind him, and the twenty-eight nights on the compass are all lit up for the first time." Irene, take Keith to check the eyes of the array! Sierra, open the healing barrier! " [Serra's healing enchantment needs to consume 30% of her spiritual power, and once set a record of maintaining the enchantment for 12 hours in a simulated war]
When the first wave of black fog gushed out from the ground of the playground, Irene finally understood the last sentence of her mother's handwritten note: "When the compass of the supervisor starts to rotate completely, the astral world will mesh with the gears of the eclipse again." She watched Keith transform into an orc, and the spike necklace glowed with silver light in the moonlight. Suddenly, she remembered what he had said: "I want to be a knight, not only to protect Serra, but also to find out the real cause of death of my father in the eclipse forest ..." [Keith's father carved the word "crow feather is my sin" in the astral compass before his death, which became the key clue to the mystery of the eclipse forest]
In the black fog, the boy with the gray scarf showed a sneer. He tore open his collar, and the crow feather coat on his heart was absorbing the magic overflowing from the array law: "The orphan of the Astral Council? At the right moment, the leader is waiting to resurrect the Lord of the Eclipse with your blood sacrifice ... "His voice did not fall, and three astral chains suddenly came from Irene's palm generate, which was the" Beidou Tie Magic Array "that my mother had used in the Astral Tower. At this moment, the third star core at the eye of the array is glowing with the same silver light as the emblem. [ Leah's projection is faintly visible inside the stellar crystal, which seems to be guarding some important seal ]
