Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 167 The Escaper

"My little Luna, you will never imagine what a stunning view the Earth is when viewed from the outpost..."

Mother Ravni has an infinite passion for her profession as an astronaut. When Luna and her sister were young, their bedtime stories were mostly stories about Ravni and her husband’s various space adventures.

"When you see that huge blue ball, you will truly feel the wonder and beauty of this world, as if thousands of creatures are cheering and applauding in front of you..."

Ravni would talk about how magnificent the scenery on the surface of the starry sky was, and how interesting the weightless life in the space station was. Her sister was still curious about this kind of plot, but Luna could not empathize with it. As she grew older, these memories seemed like a horror story to her.

"Do you think that one day we will be able to fly to the depths of the starry sky beyond the outpost in a roaming spaceship like our ancestors did..."

Raphne always has this little unrealistic expectation.

It was said that before the millennium, traveling through the starry sky was a privilege reserved for High-Sequence Beyonders. From the systematic mysticism training, Luna roughly knew that the elders of the family did not need any roaming technology to roam through the starry sky and open the door to the universe outside the outpost.

This was something Luna dared not even think about. The depths of the starry sky were a dangerous forbidden zone, and mortals were confined within the narrow orbit of outposts due to their own insignificance.

As a Sequence 3 Saint, Dr. Helgi, the director of the Star Technology Center, should also have the ability to roam the stars, but in fact, Luna has never heard Dr. Helgi tell stories about his travels outside the outpost like other astronauts. Maybe Dr. Helgi looks too gloomy and mean, or maybe the world outside the outpost is too strange and dangerous, even telling stories is dangerous.

But when the first astronaut Alexander Abraham boarded a roaming spacecraft into the starry sky in 999 of the Sixth Era, mortals had the ability to roam the starry sky.

"Damn Backlund, another traffic jam!" Petyr, who was driving, honked the horn in annoyance. "The people who designed these roads should be dragged out and shot!"

If we had ignored all the so-called "formalities" and "etiquette" and asked Dr. Helgi to open the door, we would have arrived at the church long ago.

Luna complained silently in her heart.

They had now entered the parish of the Church of Darkness. There was still some time before the agreed time, so the traffic jam was not a big deal. Luna counted the freckles on her face three times, but still could not calm her restless heart. She took out a starry sky travel guide from her bag and looked at it absentmindedly.

Abraham studied the matter of starry sky wandering for thousands of years. Generation after generation summarized their experiences, deleted the dangerous knowledge, wrote them into books with safe sentences, and passed them on to the next generation for circulation.

Therefore, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Starry Sky is not an unearthed artifact, but a living thing that is constantly updated with the development of the times. Luna can even find the warnings left by her ancestors in the Fourth Epoch from it. Later, every family member who has been to the starry sky has the right to put forward their own experience. After entering the Sixth Epoch, those who can leave their names and confessions in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Starry Sky are also the leaders of roaming technology. After the millennium, any astronaut who has performed a roaming mission in the starry sky has the right to propose amendments to the relevant departments.

The one in Luna's hand was the latest version revised by Ravni. To be exact, it was newer than the latest version. This was a relic that Ravni left for Luna, and it was filled with Ravni's notes. Before the outpost accident, as one of the longest-serving veterans among the existing astronauts, Ravni was still working on proposing additional content for the next version before leaving Earth. However, before this revision was completed, Ravni died at the outpost.

However, the pages of the guidebook turned to reveal a carefully marked folded map.

Luna glanced at Petyr cautiously, and after making sure that he didn't notice, she lowered her head as usual and pretended to read a book.

What is hidden in this book is Luna's biggest secret.

The people from the Starry Sky Technology Center had arrived in Backlund a few days ago, and in accordance with Dr. Helgi's instructions, they secretly learned about the movements of the Church of Evernight in Backlund. Luna took this opportunity to specifically look for the passages in Backlund's underground city. Now all her achievements in the past few days are condensed into this thin map.

Stuffed in the book were not only maps, but also some not-so-legal advertisements, information torn from various places, newspapers collected on the road, and ancient copies of information found in the Loen National Library.

Luna is planning a plan that will surprise everyone.

"Mia, I have an idea. It's hard to realize, but I really want to do it."

She nervously texted her sister Mia.

Sister Mia is three years older than Luna. She also passed the various astronaut selections and should have been an astronaut on call. However, due to her marriage to a nobleman a few years ago, she has become an "outsider" with a changed surname and lost the qualification to contact Abraham's various core affairs. So Mia was crossed off the list in this absurd way.

“But I don’t know if this is the right thing to do.”

"Luna, what are you doing? Why is there no sound?"

"I have no interest in your lowbrow complaints, Mr. Petyr. I was reading the newspaper I got at breakfast, and there was some interesting poetry in it."

Luna calmly picked up the newspaper and pretended to read it. Her spiritual intuition told her that Petyr just glanced at her in the rearview mirror, confirmed that he was indeed reading the paper and not reporting to Dr. Helgi, and then turned around and continued driving.

"... I don't need an embroidered robe or an exquisite spear. I just hope there is a passing bard willing to share a cup of poetry with me..."

To prove that she was really reading, Luna recited the words on the newspaper quietly. When she really read them, Luna found that these poems were quite to her liking. She didn't expect to find such interesting words in such a third-rate newspaper.

She unfolded the newspaper and saw that the poems were written by Folse Wall, an author she had never heard of.

At this moment, a strong spiritual warning struck Luna's mind. The two people in the car looked at each other in shock in the rearview mirror and shouted in unison.

"Get out of the car quickly!"

Two "doors" appeared on both sides of the car at the same time, and Luna and Petyr immediately jumped out of them. The next moment, a whistling missile fell from the sky and the car exploded behind them.

The heat wave from the explosion threw the two men up again and slammed them heavily to the ground.

"Enemy attack! Technicians and astronauts below Sequence 7, disperse and teleport to St. Julie's Church and St. Samuel's Church immediately!"

The gloomy and mean Dr. Helgi immediately faced the attacker's line of fire. The attacker who dared to attack Abraham's team was definitely not an ordinary person. Along with the rain of fire came the Beyonder who possessed a powerful Beyonder item. The illusory page appeared in Helgi's hand, and the Beyonder ability "recorded" on it poured out without hesitation.

"What are you looking at! Open the door and go! Leave this to Dr. Helgi!"

Petyr yelled at Luna who was stunned on the ground, but there was no response from her. Seeing that he could not take care of her, he took those ordinary technicians and quickly evacuated the scene.

Luna's heart was beating wildly, as if there was a burning volcano buried in her chest, about to erupt.

She was a coward and a wimp. She had imagined countless times how she would start her plan, but now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she began to hesitate and be afraid again.

The phone vibrated slightly at this moment.

"I will support any decision you make. If you want to do it, go for it!"

With a flash of light, the communicator was completely shattered by the electric shock, and Luna pulled a cloak out of her bag and put it on, then quickly opened the door and "traveled" while Dr. Helgi was distracted by the battle.

Under the suppression of the Sequence 3 combat power, the raid did not last long. After the battle ended, Helgi's flash clone immediately appeared outside the Church of St. Samuel and the Church of St. Julie, counting the evacuated personnel. After the reports from both sides were summarized, Helgi suddenly discovered that the astronaut in the team was missing.

Luna successfully escapes from Abraham.
