Chapter 113 The Eyes of the Moon

half an hour ago.

On the 211th floor of Rainbow Castle in the Thousand-Story City, on the floor of the Hundred Towers, next to the Royal Academy of Magic in the Star Vault, in the magic tower of Associate Professor Duncan Flashstone.

It's very safe, safe, secure here...

Duncan the Dwarf likes to be safe.

After traveling into such a petite body, Duncan has never wanted safety as much as he does now.

In novels and game background CGs, the death of a mage is as simple as drinking water.

Apprentice backstabs and experiment mistakes happen too often to make it into the Daily Star Adventurer even if it happens 3 times a day.

Not to mention being stabbed to death by a pitchfork, or "accidentally triggering a protective spell when having sex with a real dragon that transformed into a human, dispelling the opponent's transformation."

Fortunately, there were more mages alive than dead in the end.And there was no doubt that Duncan Shinestone wanted to be part of the living.
-
The moon and stars are rare.

Then, dark clouds covered the crimson moon.

Now is the perfect scene for a homicide.

But Duncan the dwarf showed no fear.

In the bedroom of the Magic Tower, Duncan Flashstone was not asleep, but was sitting on the bed, reading a book out of boredom.

Of course, a mage needs to rest for 8 hours a day in order to recover his mana and memorize spells with a clear mind.

However, unlike the subconscious judgment of stupid potential raiders - the need to rest every day does not mean the need to rest "every night"!
In fact, Duncan had had enough rest during the day - he was not willing to close his eyes in the silent night, it was too dangerous.As a gamer, setting the rest period to daytime itself will not give him negative status.

His bed (the kind suitable for a child) is surrounded by a hemispherical golden force field.This is ritual magic [Shelter Cabin].

On the bedside table, the corner of the bed, the window and the door, there are [Guard Glyphs] with spells, quietly waiting for the intruder.

The invisible magic dog [Richard's loyal dog] composed of a magic force field lies on the ground. Even intruders from the [spiritual world] cannot escape its keen senses.

Of course, intruders from other worlds may not be able to enter, because a constant [Richard's Secret Chamber Technique] envelopes the bedroom, blocking space teleportation and plane travel in the room, except for a small area deliberately set aside - —Used to allow mages to cast teleportation spells to escape.

Outside the window, the little devil Melfi, who turned into a bat and became invisible, was flying around the house.

In addition, even though he was reading a book, Duncan Flashing Stone was actually maintaining [Detect Magic] to observe any fluctuations of magic aura.

If it weren't for the fact that Duncan had not yet become an eighth-ring mage, he would have moved to the demiplane he created long ago, and would have placed his spare body in other demiplane bases.

The night is so quiet.

Duncan Shinestone turned another page of the book.

The sound of turning pages was clearly audible in the silence.

Suddenly, Duncan frowned.

The [spiritual link] between him and his familiar was terminated.

Did the little devil Mephi disappear out of thin air?

what happened?

Mage Duncan put down his book, pricked up his ears, and listened to the sounds around him - no doubt he clicked on the Perception skill.

The invisible [Richard's Loyal Dog] lay on the ground without any abnormality, the [Shelter Cabin] was not destroyed, the [Detect Magic] did not detect new magic fluctuations, and the [Guard Glyph] trap was not triggered.

Outside the window, a scarlet crescent moon hung in the dark sky.

There was only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

Duncan breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up from the bed, preparing to summon some weak elemental creatures to go out and check.

Suddenly, Duncan shuddered, a biting chill penetrated his spinal cord, and countless goosebumps rushed out of his skin.

That's not the howling of the wind!
Duncan Flashstone turned his head and looked out the window.He looked through the glass at the red moon on the black velvet night.And Hongyue is also looking at him——

This is not a metaphor. The bloody crescent moon is growing rapidly and becoming full at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if time goes from the beginning of the month to the middle of the month in the blink of an eye.

In just a few seconds, the crimson crescent moon turned into a full, bloody moon.

As the moon grew fuller, Duncan could see that in the center of the blood moon was an eye that took up half the size of the moon!The process of the red moon from new moon to full moon just makes this eye slowly open.

There were no screams outside.

Perhaps only Duncan himself can see such a scene.

The world around him became increasingly blurry.Only the red moon outside the window is still clear.

Duncan understood in an instant why the spiritual connection between the demon pet Mephi and himself was broken, but Mephi did not disappear.

He himself is the one who is disappearing.

At the last moment, Duncan picked up the [Messaging Stone] on the bedside and started the communication to Chabron.The dwarf mage clenched his fist with his other hand, trying to freeze time in an eternal round as much as possible.

What surprised Duncan was that the time traveler's ability to freeze time actually encountered obstacles at this time, like a dangerous embankment consolidating water——

Even though the mysterious power in his body is still operating, trying hard to fix the flow of time at this moment, time is still like water between the fingers, continuing to pass, but so slowly.

------

"Help me," Duncan's voice came from the magic crystal, and he immediately changed his words, "No, it's too late. Now, listen to me -"

Chabran and Mera looked at each other - the beautiful black-haired girl was also very surprised, and her usually calm pupils were also a little cold at this moment.

In [Messaging Stone], Duncan's voice becomes increasingly unreal and ethereal, as if he is being gradually stripped away from this world.He spent his last moments telling the message he wanted to tell Chabron:

"Jacks, An Luo, and Arya are the brothers, sons, and daughters of Her Majesty the Star Queen who disappeared 13 years ago. They use pseudonyms.

"Her Majesty the Queen is the king's puppet! Not only her, but all monarchs in history and present have been taken away by the king. This is the abnormal project [5-08].

“Don’t tell this secret to anyone else or it will fade from your memory.

"At last······"

Duncan's voice stopped suddenly.
