Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 140: Broken Moon

Late at night.

After teaching Elan literacy and other basic education and watching each other fall asleep, Ian cleaned up the trash at home again.

He didn't do the source quality training today, so the boy came to the roof of his house and looked up at the almost pitch-black starry sky above his head.

The weather today is very clear and there are not many clouds and fog. This is an extremely rare situation for Port Harrison, and it is precisely because of this that he is in the mood to watch the stars.

The reason why it is almost dark is because Terra has double moons and eleven stars. Even if all the sky is dark, these thirteen stars will still shine their own light.

If there is no accident, except for the eleven stars outside the double moon, there are eleven planets revolving around the 'sun' in the star field of Terra... But even so, it is difficult to see all of them at once Of all the planets, there are only six stars in today's night sky.

The water-colored eyes of the white-haired boy stared blankly at the top of his head and the few stars.

After a long absence, he took out a binoculars from his pocket.

This telescope is not too big, it is just a gift for children, but when it comes to the exquisite production, it is unmatched by many professional shops.

"Since the teacher gave you to me, I haven't used you to look at the stars a few times... After all, you are not a serious stargazing telescope, how can you get a glimpse of the truth in the distance?"

The expression was a bit complicated, Ian stared at the barrel binoculars in his hand, and couldn't help sighing softly: "Yeah, the sky in this world can't see anything at all."

"There are already many disasters and wars on the earth, but the stars in the distance have become rarer and rarer since thousands of years ago...why is that?"

"Although I don't know whether this is the universe I originally lived in, and whether the starry sky is the star sea world I imagined, but what happened in the distant universe that caused this phenomenon? And such a phenomenon What impact will it have on the world I live in today?"

Staring at the telescope in front of him, the boy was silent for a long time, and then showed a faint smile: "This is a problem."

He stood up slowly, raised his head, and stared at the sky: "And I will find the answer."

"It's that simple."

Ian picked up the telescope that Hilliard gave him—the lens polished by the old knight is not inferior to any high-precision equipment. Although the magnification is not high, his eyes are by no means ordinary. .

He looked into the far distance, and looked at the high sky with the teacher's gift.

Then, his expression suddenly froze.

Immediately afterwards, there was an almost inconceivable daze.

"Wait..."

Ian opened his eyes wide, his pupils dilated, obviously extremely shocked: "Because the starry sky disappeared, so I didn't pay much attention to the moon before, but... how is this possible?!"

The pair of moons, the phantom moon and the new moon, rarely appear at the same time. What sentient beings often see is the phantom moon, which is constantly cloudy, sunny, waxing and waning, a bright and extremely beautiful moon.

The new moon rarely appears, and every time it appears, it appears incomplete.

Originally, Ian thought that it might be due to the special orbital cycle of the new moon, which caused it to be more or less obscured every time it appeared... To be honest, he didn't think about it, after all, this world has spiritual power and Source quality, God knows what's going on in the starry sky.

But this time, in the rare clear sky of Port Harrison.

The moment Ian picked up the telescope for the first time and pointed it at the new moon.

He understood... why the people of Terra would call the moon, which is clearly visible, the 'new moon'.

——When the track of the moon is between the sun and the earth, and the dark side faces the earth, and the true face of the moon cannot be seen, it is called 'Suo'.

And at this very moment, Ian saw... just such a dim, eclipsed moon.

That is, the surface of a round was completely burnt, leaving many traces of melting, the whole body was broken into pieces, broken into several pieces of broken moon!

A 'wreckage' that seems to have been completely melted and then cooled!

It is only because of gravity, so it did not erupt and disperse, and the remaining broken moon, which was barely gathered together, is now shrouded in a hazy dark fog, and it is extraordinarily inconspicuous in the sky...

If it was thousands of years ago, when the stars of Terra were still shining brightly, it must have been a piece of 'darkness' called 'Suo' that was barely noticeable in the sky.

But now, because all the stars are dimmed, even the dark Shuo is now forced to reveal his true form.

"Even the moon is broken...it's a satellite..."

Staring at this scene in shock, Ian held his breath. He focused again, staring at the distant moon with a telescope, trying to find some details.

Then, he froze again.

Because this time, a series of densely packed silver characters lit up in front of the boy's left eye.

[Looking at the moon/new moon (broken)]

[Broken Time, 1665 years ago]

Originally, according to Ian's speculation, the silver chip belonging to the pinnacle of the pre-epoch civilization faithfully displayed the relevant information belonging to the new moon above his head.

Although simple, it is clear and clear, which makes the heartbeat more intense.

"One thousand six hundred and sixty-five..."

Looking at the text that emerged from the subtitles, Ian swallowed, and he muttered to himself: "This year is 768 years of Terra, on November 25th... there are still 877 years in between. gap."

"The disaster of falling from the sky was a disaster thousands of years ago, but no one knows exactly how many years - that period of time was the so-called 'Lost Era'."

"Scholars speculate that the Lost Era is definitely more than three hundred years old, with a high probability of more than four hundred years, and less than six hundred years... But now it seems that the time of the Lost Era may be much longer than all of us imagined ..."

Taking a deep breath, Ian calmed himself down.

He put down the binoculars and looked up at the dim broken moon: "Interesting, I am afraid that part of the disaster that fell from the sky was caused by the collapse of the new moon and the fragments falling to the ground."

"However, what exactly is it, what kind of power is it that can destroy the moon and destroy the civilization of the previous era?!"

This is a problem.

A problem that is destined to trouble one person, and has troubled countless people for a lifetime.

So.

That's why Ian looked up at the moon and slowly smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"It may take a long, long time, the time of my life..."

He said this, and the white-haired boy swore firmly: "But I will find the answer."

A calculation awaits an answer, a question awaits a result.

A curious heart will find the way to the distant place by itself.

It's that simple.

So, no matter what, those who are reborn in this world will eventually embark on a journey.

After this night, Ian didn't seem to have changed in any way, continuing his day-to-day life.

Learning, exercising, accumulating, accumulating popularity among the white people, showing talent in front of Viscount Grant, getting to know more people, getting more books...

Take care of the younger brother, educate the younger brother, sum up the experience of alchemy, practice the craft of inscription...

The young man unremittingly honed his skills and improved his strength, day after day, year after year.

So, that's it, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the time flows.

Four years have passed.

Now, it is the 9th of April in the 773rd year of the Terran calendar.
