My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

Sure enough, the time on the clock had reached twelve o'clock.

If there was nothing wrong with Rosalind's memory, then she had rested past midnight yesterday.

Time cannot be without change.

In order to verify, Rosalin ran out of the dormitory and didn't see anyone until she reached the commercial street.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the commercial street. After hearing their words, Rosalind's doubts were put to rest.

"What's going on today? Why is it still dark?"

"Has there ever been a day like this in the history of the Empire?"

"Damn, when I got up this morning I thought it was still dark, but I wasn't sleepy at all. I went downstairs and looked at the watch. I thought it was broken, but it turned out to be dark."

"So do you know what happened?"

"I do not know……"

It seems that in this kind of abnormal weather, people always feel a sense of crisis, so they choose to gather together for warmth.

Rosalin was the same. She would rather stay in the commercial street with her classmates than stay alone in the dormitory and worry about this terrible weather.

……

On the other side, after getting up in the morning, Orson discovered the abnormality of the celestial phenomenon, and immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert, and then went to a residence alone.

Because of the war, the Imperial Library has been closed for a long time. Dorothy, who has been unemployed during this period, has been staying alone in the small house. To her, this seemingly boring life is the main theme of her long life.

Dorothy did not notice anything unusual about the sky, for she had kept her curtains closed during this period and slept when she was sleepy. Her time had long been disordered, and day or night had no meaning to her.

Just as she yawned and was about to go to bed, there was a knock on her door.

She went downstairs, opened the door, and then saw Orson standing at the door.

"Ah, it's Orson, how come you have time to come and see me?"

Dorothy looked at Orson and asked curiously.

"Miss Dorothy, please look at the time."

Orson didn't say any more pleasantries, but got straight to the point.

After hearing what Orson said, Dorothy looked through Orson and up at the sky. Then she said:

"It's late at night."

Then, as if remembering something, Dorothy's face flushed for an instant.

Is Orson trying to make something clear?

It's definitely indicating something!

Is there any other reason for coming to see me so late at night besides that kind of thing?

Of course, if Orson hadn't mentioned the time and came to see her so late at night, Dorothy could have understood it as wanting to discuss something, but Orson deliberately mentioned the time, which made Dorothy couldn't help but think about it.

"No... No, Orson, although you and I know each other, there is a huge age gap between us. I have always treated you as my junior. Although it is easy for some misunderstandings to arise when we meet again after a long separation, but..."

"..."

Orson was very upset when he heard what Dorothy said.

Finally, he couldn't help but explain: "Miss Dorothy, do you think it is night now? But in fact it is daytime, and it is noon!"

Dorothy was stunned when she heard this.

"Eh? Noon?"

She raised her head to look at the sky, then turned back to look at the clock in the room.

"What? It's obviously twelve o'clock in the evening. I know Orson, you are probably trying to joke with me, right?"

"..." Seeing that Dorothy was still like this, Orson couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

"No, Miss Dorothy, I am not kidding you, I am serious, the sky has changed, and the day has not come as expected."

Orson said this, pointing to the bright moon in the sky.

"This moon has been hanging overhead since last night."

Dorothy saw that Orson had not lied to her, and she began to re-examine the celestial phenomena in front of her.

Looking at the bright moon above her head, she frowned, then pulled Orson into the house.

"What's going on outside?"

"That's why I came to ask you, Miss Dorothy, because I don't know. You are very knowledgeable and have lived a long life. You must have seen a lot more things than I have."

Orson said this, revealing the purpose of his coming here.

He has a good relationship with Dorothy, but that doesn't mean Dorothy will definitely help him seize power and usurp the throne. You know, the immortal species like dragons hate to interfere in major events in the world the most.

But the abnormal weather this time is likely related to Arthas's trump card. In order to find out this information clearly, Orson went to Dorothy.

After all, there is probably no one in the current Saint Laurent City who has more extensive knowledge than Dorothy, who has lived for hundreds of years or even longer.

"If, I mean if, it is not a coincidence, then this 'eternal night' astronomical anomaly must be man-made."

"Orson, you have also learned magic, so you should know that the ultimate goal and limit of magic is to be able to change nature and common sense at will, including celestial phenomena."

"But, in my impression, to be able to achieve this level, I'm afraid you have to be above level ten by human standards."

"Tenth level... or above?"

Hearing this term, Orson's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

What Dorothy means is that Arthas has a tenth-level strongman to help him?

"Well, it's not level ten. You have to be stronger than level ten to be able to achieve this level." Dorothy said.

"That is to say, you humans should not have any existence capable of causing such a phenomenon."

"Of course, your royal family has many secrets, and I can't guarantee that what I say is correct."

Dorothy explained this to ease Orson's tension.

"I dare not say anything else, but at least in Saint Laurent City, I have never felt the aura of a strong man above the tenth level, so this change in the sky may just be a coincidence, or... an illusion."

"However, if the illusion can cover the entire Saint Laurent City, the quality of the illusion itself should not be lower than the ninth level."

"If the person who releases the illusion is your enemy, Orson, you have to be careful."

After hearing what Dorothy said, Orson felt a little relieved.

After all, the ninth and tenth orders are not in the same order of magnitude. The tenth order only exists in legends, while the ninth order at least has vivid examples in every era.

Chapter 63: Army of the Dead

In the palace, after hearing his subordinates report that the time did not match the sky, Langdon immediately found Arthas.

"Your Majesty, please look at the sky outside. It should have been dawn a long time ago, but the moon is still hanging in the sky."

"..."

Arthas shook his head, confident.

He looked at the bright moon in the sky, then looked at the scepter in his hand, feeling extremely satisfied.

In another three hours, he would be able to obtain the power left by his ancestors and completely defeat the rebels.

The scepter, which symbolizes imperial power, can not only issue decrees proving the emperor's identity, but also has another function, which is to use it to save the fate of the royal family in times of national crisis.

Arthas has royal blood and inherited the royal scepter after Odysseus' death. At this moment, this is his trump card.

He didn't know whether Orson and Elsa had any more cards up their sleeves, but if their cards weren't as powerful as his, he would definitely be the final winner.

However, the price Arthas paid was too heavy.

Perhaps, after this war, it will take five to ten years for the city of Saint-Laurent to return to its pre-war level.

After all, the number of residents who fled, died in battle, or died of disease during this period accounted for more than half of the city of Saint Laurent.

"His Majesty?"

At this moment, Langdon's words brought him back to reality.

"Well, don't worry about it. Just guard the palace."

Langdon nodded after hearing this and then left.

In his heart, he already had his own guesses about this anomaly.

This should be related to Arthas.

……

"Have you tried it?"

"Well, we can't contact the outside world. The people we sent out have returned to their original locations after going around in circles. They can't leave Saint Laurent City at all."

At the coalition headquarters, Orson frowned as he listened to Litt's reply.

This problem seems a bit big.

Not only could people outside not come in, it seemed that people inside couldn't leave either. With Saint Laurent City as the center, the area within a radius of fifty kilometers was all shrouded in darkness.

Originally, the coalition forces had a steady supply of supplies from outside, but since nightfall, the supply team has not appeared again.

"Then it seems... we have to solve it from within."

"Leet, when you were taking magic class before, you should have talked about something like magic circles, right?"

"Yeah." Li Te nodded after hearing that.

"The so-called magic circle can be understood as magic set up in advance by a magician. Because some magic spells are quite complicated to cast, there is no time to use them when they are needed, so a magic circle is needed..."

"Well, you've memorized it very well." Orson exclaimed.

Lit was very happy to hear Orson praising him, and then continued:

"In addition to some complicated magic, it is said that there are many powerful magicians who will leave some magic circles as a life-saving talisman for their descendants."

"So, Li Te, think about it, the royal family is the oldest in the empire. Even if the founding emperor didn't consider it, there must be emperors who considered the issue of future generations."

"So... Orson, you mean that this celestial phenomenon was caused by a magic circle?"

"Well, to launch such a large-scale illusion, a magician of level nine or above must be able to complete it, and it is definitely not that simple."

"So, I am more inclined to believe that this is a magic circle that was left behind a long time ago, and is used as a trump card to launch a Jedi counterattack when the royal family is in danger."

Hearing this, Lit was stunned for a moment, then asked: "But... they can't do anything just relying on this eternal night phenomenon, right? At least so far, no soldier has felt uncomfortable because of this strange phenomenon."

Hearing this, Orson said worriedly: "So I am worried. I am worried that this illusion is only one aspect. What will really happen... is still to come..."

At this time, Olivia came in from outside holding a plate.

"You guys are tired too, right? Have some fruit."

"Thank you."

Orson thanked him, then picked up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth.

"If you ask me, this astronomical phenomenon is most likely caused by the royal family. It is possible that the entire Saint Laurent City is a huge magic circle?"

Olivia interrupted during the break between the two.

Hearing Olivia's words, Lit's eyes lit up slightly.

Orson also stopped to think for a few seconds, then stood up.

"Give me a map of Saint Laurent. I want a detailed map with every street and landmark building marked."

When Litt heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Orson meant. He immediately nodded, walked outside and took out the map.

……

On the other side, the suburbs of Saint Laurent City.

As the heart of the empire, Saint Laurent City has convenient transportation and is well connected. In the previous war-torn period, it was a place where many wars broke out. Therefore, many corpses are buried in the land here.

At this moment, in the cemeteries around that commemorate the heroes who died in the wars defending their country, countless emotionless bodies broke out of the ground.

Logically speaking, after hundreds of years, their bodies should have turned into piles of bones, but at this moment, apart from their pale skin, they are almost the same as ordinary people, and they even retain the armor and weapons they used in battle.

They woke up in the cemetery, and then, as if they had received orders from their superiors, they formed a large square and headed towards Saint Laurent City.
