I See The Mirror World In The Sky

Obsidian

The night was uneventful. It was just after dawn when Esme Crane was already walking above the foggy country roads. She used a rag as a headscarf to wrap her face so as not to be recognized. Her footsteps are hurried and she looks around, describing herself as furtive.

The incandescent day, on the other hand, is the outdoor prayer day in this world, probably because most people are religious. On this day, most people will gather in the central church or square of their residential area for a long daytime mass.

England in the mid-nineteenth century because of the first industrial revolution, the city began to fill the air with industrial soot, coupled with the temperate maritime climate brought about by the perennial rain and fog, its capital city of London gradually has the name of the fog capital.

It wasn't long before she reached Emerson, a river that runs south of Zocta, a tributary of the Dorrans River that runs through the entire city of Zocta, and the town of Emerson is named after its location by Emerson. In the last decade or so, a number of textile factories have gathered along the banks of the river, and most of the women from the villages near Emerson work there, and Esme Crane was one of them.

The weird thing is that this carriage is black from beginning to end, whether it is the horses, all the accessories of the carriage, and even sitting in the driver's seat to drive the car are all dressed in black. The driver wore a hooded cloak that covered his face tightly, only slightly hunched in the fog.

She thought it was a bit strange, who would be in such an early morning in the countryside, and the carriage was dark from beginning to end. But she was in no position to protect herself, and she didn't have the heart to care about anyone else.

After the mass, there is a big gathering and revelry, depending on the situation. Of course, whether it is a silver moon day, incandescent day or a regular day, it will still be affected by the weather, there will be rain, snow, wind, fog and frost and other normal natural weather.

At her side, Cox followed her obediently, not moving an inch.

She was lucky to get a short sleep last night, and it was quiet and dreamless. When she woke up in the morning, her body felt much more relaxed, the pain had largely dissipated, and her arms and legs were getting stronger. A broken spine and neck of the dead overnight and alive and well, this can not be called a medical miracle, simply a miracle.

Esme Crane is now in the cold season, her date of death is November 13, Obsidian Day, today is November 14, Obsidian Day, and the epoch is 1859, the year of the Holy Calendar of Mhadrrith. But the original owner had very fragmented historical information in her memory and had little concept of where the epochs came from.

And Monday Obsidian Day, called Silver Moon Day, a 24-hour day all silver and white moon night, no sunshine; Sunday Obsidian Day, called Incandescent Day, a 24-hour day all white, no night.

This kind of building, it seems, has only recently emerged from Zocta, and gradually spread to some towns in the suburbs of Zocta. The apartment in front of me was built three years ago by the town government of Emerson and is rented to single or working women with good incomes in the town.

Esme Crane walked along the river for a few moments, and by memory and intuition, found the stone bridge that crossed Emerson. This unnamed stone bridge, commonly referred to as the Emerson Bridge, is the only government-funded bridge connecting the east and west sides of Emerson.

Not long after leaving the oak village, she noticed that the inverted city overhead seems to have faded because the light has dawned, but still can faintly see the shadow, there is not very strong sunlight trying to penetrate the diffuse fog to light up the land. Esme Crane made a mental note of the fact that he could not see the moon, but could see the sun, and his doubts deepened.

The Mhadrrith Empire does not have the concept of four seasons, but only two seasons, the warm season and the cold season, the warm season is from April to September every year, warm and rainy, the temperature is kept at 20 degrees.

So she stepped up her pace and quickly crossed the bridge, heading for Emerson town center. When she walked up the stone road leading to the town center, she could already see all kinds of people rising and moving in the early morning, including vegetable vendors, butchers, bakers, fishmongers and drunks who just came out of the street tavern.

But the good thing is that she has a strong heart that has been through all kinds of hellish examinations, and as a calm academic in the eyes of her teachers and classmates, she has always been optimistic and cautious.

Speaking of the sun and the moon, Esme Crane sorted out and summarized the original owner's residual memories before going to bed last night, and had some initial knowledge of the world. What surprised her the most was actually the anomaly of this world's sun and moon operation.

This is not the key, but the key is that the five days from Tuesday's Fire Obsidian Day to Saturday's Obsidian Day are also known as the regular days, in which the day is 12 hours long and the moon is 12 hours long.

Mhadrrith's temperature is measured in degrees Celsius, which is the same as in the previous world.

The stone bridge is not very wide, at least for modern people like Esme Crane who have seen the infrastructure mania super project, it is really small. But in this era of suburban areas, this stone bridge can be said to be very spacious, enough to accommodate three carriages in parallel.

As Esme Crane walked through the countryside, she could smell the pungent smell of soot as she inhaled the moist air between her nostrils.

These people are all white, Esme Crane can not see the familiar yellow face. She couldn't help but wrap her ragged hood tightly around her feet and hurried through the town center, eventually stopping, from memory, outside an apartment in the southeast of town.

This instantly reminded her of the Japanese calendar customs in her previous world, and this world is exactly the same. Monday is called Moon Obsidian, Tuesday is called Fire Obsidian, Wednesday is called Water Obsidian, Thursday is called Wood Obsidian, Friday is called Gold Obsidian, Saturday is called Earth Obsidian, and Sunday is called Sun Obsidian.

This world also has 365 days a year, 12 months, four weeks per month, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, one hour and 60 minutes, one minute and 60 seconds, the length of a second and the previous world should not be too different. But "gold, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, moon" is used as the code for the seven days of the week.

When she reached the middle of the stone bridge, she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and the tinkling of horse bells coming from the other side of the bridge. Gazing into the distance, in the light mist, a dark carriage appeared. This is a typical Victorian four-wheeled carriage, the driver's seat in the front of the carriage, two horses pulling the carriage.

Esme Crane watched for a while and saw that no one was walking on the bridge, so she immediately stepped up to it.

On these two unusual days, people's work and rest were also adjusted. The government has stipulated that the only time to go out is from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Silver Moon Day, and the rest of the day is under curfew, so people are not allowed to go out.

As an extremely staunch Marxist atheist, Esme Crane felt her worldview was greatly impacted and shaken.

Esme Crane's best friend Talia and her husband Isaac rented it, a one-bedroom apartment, not very spacious, but enough for two people. They have just been married for a year and have no children yet.

He drove quickly across the road before the end of the bridge, from west to east, soon disappeared in the fog, it seems to be going to the northeast of the main city of Zocta. In his haste, Esme Crane only had time to see a strange emblem engraved on the wall of the carriage - a golden shield embedded with two cross-like perpendicular silver cones, surrounded by red ribbons, a dark and conspicuous. As for the person riding in the car, Esme Crane half did not see clearly.
