The alchemy track car sped along the tracks with lightning speed.
In less than ten minutes, it reached the other side of the city district. freēwebnovel.com
Inside the carriage, the members of the envoy looked out the window and saw a vast construction site in the distance.
"Isn’t that city large enough? Why are they building another one so close by?" a human Count asked with a face full of confusion, unable to comprehend the action.
The person next to him responded, "Given their proximity, perhaps they are not two separate cities but one? After all, they can both be essentially called Ring Tower City, can’t they?"
This construction site also surrounded a towering black tower. Upon thinking more carefully, this explanation seemed to make sense.
"Such a magnificent city...what purpose does it truly serve?" a Mage couldn’t help but wonder. To them, a city wasn’t necessarily better because it was larger. The area they had previously inhabited in Ring Tower City was already considered one of the world’s top cities.
Whether it was the architectural style, the vast building area, or the city’s population, it was quite impressive. Now, building another city here was truly puzzling.
"Look over there, how magnificent!" exclaimed a young member from an unknown guild in awe.
A majestic group of statues stood there. The statues towered far above the alchemy track car they were riding in.
Although this group of statues could not compare to the Tower of Trial, it was undoubtedly a unique wonder in the world.
After all, it was a series of statues, each lifelike and vivid. Anyone with a bit of insight could tell at a glance that it nearly encompassed most of the races they knew. The meaning contained within was self-evident.
"Night Watcher... how much do they adore such miraculous structures?" an old man muttered to himself.
As soon as he said this, everyone around fell silent.
It seemed to be true. Whether it was the unimaginably extravagant Tower of Trial that defied the imagination, or this miraculous-looking statue group, both could be described as "wonders." Even Ring Tower City, many buildings within it could be described as "grand and gigantic" to some extent.
From this, it was evident that the Night Watcher’s preference for architecture leaned towards "seeking grandeur" and "seeking wonder."
...
Though the construction of the entire city remained a heavy undertaking, the foundational build around the core area was essentially complete.
So, the envoy had temporary quarters, which the members didn’t mind.
All the countries and factions attached great importance to this trip, selecting elite personnel. Now, a large number of Night Watchers also arrived at the scene.
Another morning dawned.
All the members of the envoy and numerous Night Watchers were nearly surrounding the central area of this newly built city, spreading outwards. At the center stood that tall and extravagantly designed statue group.
Kana stood in front of the statue platform, scanning the densely packed crowd below. Everyone’s gaze focused on him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have won this war, reclaimed the lost land for the people of Lebia, and eradicated those evil forces. We have expelled the Evil God, granting our world a temporary peace.
"All these achievements were inseparable from your contributions; it was your efforts and courage that forged them. Therefore, let us offer our most sincere praises to ourselves and to everyone who helped in the war!"
As the words fell, waves of cheering surged and resonated for a long time.
The cheering continued for quite a while before gradually subsiding. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"However, unfortunately, we all know that the true apocalypse has yet to descend. The so-called invasion by the Evil God was merely a small prelude before the true apocalypse. The real Void crisis that strikes fear into the world and is difficult to withstand has only just begun to reveal its head.
In the future, the battles we face will be longer and more despairingly arduous. But we will never give up, and we will fight tirelessly for ourselves, for everyone, and for the world’s future."
This time, there were no cheers, only contemplation.
Kana continued speaking:
"We Night Watchers have long vowed to fight to save the world and everyone in it.
But our power is far from enough, and we need more like-minded allies."
With that, Kana raised his hands high. A complete Stone of Creation was held in his palm, shining brilliantly under the sunlight.
Everyone’s eyes were glued to this stone. At this moment, nobody dared to utter any insolent words or commit any transgressive actions.
"This is the reward the world has bestowed upon us, and we will use this reward to continue fighting for the world and striving for our future.
Therefore, I make a wish here to release the craftsman’s power, like Holy Light and Magic, so that everyone has the opportunity to use this power. Whether you are rich or poor, a commoner or a noble, a merchant or a beggar... all wise individuals willing to vow to fight for the world will receive the Night Watcher’s Blessing."
As the words just fell, Kana unhesitatingly wielded the Stone of Creation.
The stone instantly erupted with dazzling light. After the wish was made, it gradually turned into points of light, like a starry sky, slowly dissipating into the air.
And that power seemed to adhere to the statues. All the statues appeared to be endowed with some magical power and began to communicate and resonate with the sky and ground, spreading the power outward.
Centered on the statues, it seemed as if everyone in the whole world heard a mysterious voice from deep within the world at that moment.
In the observing envoy, a Count decisively turned to the guard beside him.
"Do you remember the Night Watcher’s oath?"
"I...I remember." The guard hurriedly nodded.
"Quick, make the vow."
"But..." After all, it was an oath to the world, and after making the vow, you had to fulfill it in earnest. While gaining power, it also meant taking on responsibility, which was not a trivial matter.
"Don’t hesitate, start fighting for the world now!"
"Yes, yes!"
Others in the surrounding envoy silently observed this scene.
As the vow was made, the guard slowly opened his eyes, looking bewilderedly at his hands.
"Personal information, follow my lead," the previously silent Night Watcher by his side timely reminded.
"Ah, alright."
The panel, only visible to the guard, appeared before his eyes.
"It has appeared, the power of the Night Watcher!" At this moment, it was clearly and undeniably real.
Quite a few guards in the envoy, under the leaders’ instructions, began making vows one after another, intending to verify whether such a magical situation indeed occurred.
The final conclusion was: it was indeed true. The Night Watchers had successfully spread such a battle-born power worldwide.
"Lord Kana’s speech was indeed inspiring, but we have urgent duties to attend to, so we’ll take our leave," a lead member of the envoy decisively said before swiftly departing with his subordinates.
He first arranged for other members of the envoy to return and then tore open a scroll, disappearing instantly, rapidly returning to his country through this precious teleportation scroll.
It was an extremely costly and rare treasure, yet he used it without hesitation at this moment.
Seeing this, others also quickly reacted, bidding farewell and leaving one after another.
