That night, the sound outside was a little noisy.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Clifton sent someone to wake Pan Long and his party. They rode on the bumpy road for about an hour and finally arrived at the ceremony venue in an old-fashioned car that looked a bit like a carriage.

It was a flat and deserted wilderness with no cover around it. You could clearly see the magnificent scene of "the sky covers the earth". At this moment, the sky was not yet bright, the earth was pitch black, and the sky was covered with stars, looking like a piece of black velvet inlaid with countless gems covering the earth, which made people unable to express in words.

"There are two things that we think about more and more often, the more they fill the soul with ever-changing, unforgettable admiration and awe—the starry sky above me and the morality that lies in my heart." Douglas whispered.

At this moment, he no longer looks like the stubborn police detective who doesn't like anything, but like a poet, a young poet full of passion and fantasy, and his inner romance is almost overflowing.

Even his tough and cold face became softer.

Under the starry sky, he was chanting Kant's epitaph softly, and even his appearance seemed much more handsome.

Looking at him at this moment, Pan Long couldn't help but nodded slightly.

It turns out that Douglas has such a side. No wonder Natalia, a scholar, has such a good relationship with him. Even if he heard that these two people were going to get married, it would not be surprising.

During the period of stealth observation of the Defense Suppression Bureau, he heard someone talk to Douglas or Natalia about the topic of "When will you get married?" more than once.

Hearing Douglas's chant, Natalia turned her head to look at him, her eyes no longer with her usual calmness and wisdom, but with nostalgia and tenderness.

Pan Long is sure that this passage must have a special significance to the two of them!

Unfortunately, Clifton and his cultists did not understand romance, and they quickly broke the beautiful atmosphere.

"All ready," said a tall and thin man to Clifton. "The offerings, rituals and sacrifices are all in place, just waiting for the sunrise."

Clifton nodded and looked at the flat stone slab in front.

This is where they took months to find, the entire ground is a complete and flat rock that can easily be drawn.

Not only that, this rock was exposed to the sun day after day over the long years, but it had not weathered and cracked due to its special material, which led to a huge amount of energy. This energy cannot be used by Clifton and others, but they were able to use this energy to stabilize the ritual to avoid unpredictable accidents in the ritual.

For practitioners of invisible arts, holding rituals is a very distressing thing. If you want to improve, you will inevitably need to hold rituals. However, invisible arts themselves are chaotic and vague things, and the same is true for rituals. No matter how careful you prepare in advance or how careful you are on the spot, you will inevitably have an occasional accident.

And if something happens, people will often die!

This rock cannot avoid the ritual accidents, but it can avoid the worst accidents - such as the big explosion, attracting powerful monsters, etc. Clifton and others held hundreds of rituals here. The most dangerous accident that they had ever encountered was a light envoy noticed that the ceremony was being held here and cast a look at it.

Since then, his firm belief has not changed over the years. This painting, called "a grand memory", has become a holy object of their sect. Only in the most important festivals can it be taken out of the secret room for worship and worship by believers.

Clifton did use it as the core of the ceremony to do it.

Compared with this painting, those fragmented materials are not worth mentioning.

The "Yaosu" flashes with the pure white "Yaosu" and the "Noon Stone" that exudes the luster of the sunset, and the "Mirror of the Lost" that is fascinating with multiple landscapes... These things are treasures that are difficult to buy with money, but for the rituals at this moment, they are just simple consumables.

As for those who bathed and changed their clothes, painted the sun's holy talismans on their bodies, and lay in the magic circle. They were members of the "Crown of the Pope" under Clifton. Each of them had at least five years of training and could perform at least two or three invisible techniques, which was enough to control a village with this ability and provide a support base for the cult.

But now, they are just consumables.

At this moment, the only thing inside the magic circle is not a consumable, the only painting.

Clifton looked at all in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Although he knew that it was all about saving his life and it was worth sacrificing those for it, he felt as if at least five or six years of accumulation had to be wasted in a blink of an eye, and the benefits were still in the hands of others, and he felt heartbroken as if he was heartbroken.

But he had no choice.

After sighing deeply, he pressed all his unwillingness and pain in his heart, and invited Natalia to change into the robe needed for the ceremony and walk into the magic circle.

Natalia was not worried - there was nothing she had to worry about with a great famous person here.

Or to put it another way, if something really happens, it will be useless for her to worry.

As a person who has suffered from life beatings, she has a clear understanding of her positioning.

After a while, she changed into a white robe painted with a sunlight robe, and had already entered the magic circle and stood at the end of the west side of the magic circle.

When the sun rises, the sunlight will shine on the magic circle, extracting and condensing the "spirits" in the entire magic circle, and finally introducing them into her body.

That would allow her to break through the bottlenecks one after another in a very short time, and raise her "light appearance" to the tenth level in one breath, and reach the limit of a mortal.

At the cost, except for the paintings that serve as a hub and Clifton, who presided over the magic circle, all the other spirits in this magic circle were lost and became useless.

Seeing Natalia enter the formation, Clifton took a deep breath and walked into the formation.

He held his staff and stared at the horizon in the east, waiting for the moment when the sun rose.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky in the east gradually turned white, and the light of the stars dimmed, and the sky seemed even more gloomy.

This is the darkest moment before dawn.

Then, in the darkness, a red light suddenly appeared.

Just as the red light appeared, Clifton raised his staff and sang a hymn of the scorching sun.

His voice responded to the magic circle, and the colors on the painting suddenly filled the entire magic circle, and soon filled it.

This color is the color that has not existed on earth, the color that has long disappeared in this history, and the most brilliant and bright sunshine!

All the cultists were infected by this scene and burst into tears. They could not forget the colors they saw at this moment in their lives. Even when they reached the end of their lives, they would pursue them desperately. Even if they gave everything for it, they would do whatever they could.

But all their efforts are destined to be futile.

The scorching sun has passed, the color has become a terrifying sound, and nothing can be saved!

Amid this overflowing color, Clifton shouted loudly: "August and dazzling, this is the secret of lighting!"

With his shouts, the things in the magic circle began to melt. Whether it is human or objects, tangible things were shattered one after another, and all the "spirits" were extracted from it, but they could not leave the range of the magic circle and could only fill it.

In all this, only Clifton at the front of the magic circle, the painting in the center, and Natalia at the end are still complete.

But the arrogant and dazzling color still overflowed the two of them. Clifton smiled with satisfaction on his face, while Natalia showed a look of pain.

Although everyone is a practitioner of the light and a pursuer of the road of glow, Natalia and Clifton have different beliefs, and there are subtle differences in the path they pursue.

This subtle difference was magnified at this moment, to the point where it might kill people.
