Sword of Daybreaker

The magnificent sun sinks toward the distant horizon, and the corona covered with light wood grains has only left a narrow arc edge. The halo rising from the edge of the corona diffuses in the background of the clouds, like the sky. A sea of ​​fire burned in the last few tens of minutes of the day, and under the afterglow of the setting sun that followed, the entire city in Gavin's eyes seemed to be immersed in a sea of ​​golden red.

He stood at the end of the terrace, looking into the direction of the dark mountain range. The cold wind that was approaching winter was blowing from the side, and the wind faintly brought the voice of the guard soldiers' voice during the evening exercise. In this rare, slightly leisurely moment, He quietly thought about the plan to counterattack the wasteland and the next journey to Tarrond until a familiar breath suddenly appeared in his perception, and he interrupted his already healthy and divergent thoughts.

He followed the feeling and looked in the direction of the breath, and saw a distorted shadow quickly forming in the air, and Amber jumped out of the shadow, and after jumping twice, he came to him for the next second. This shadow assaulted. The unique and penetrating beep of the goose broke the tranquility on the terrace at dusk:

   "Hey! Something went wrong! I told you something big! I just seemed to have accidentally ran into Lady Ye's kingdom of God..."

Gawain’s thoughts and the tranquility on the terrace were shattered at the same time. Amber’s screaming and screaming messages made him froze on the spot. It took ten seconds for him to finally react and stare dumbfounded. The skiny half-elf in front of him: "Ah?! What did you say?! You say it again?!"

   "I just seemed like maybe maybe..."

  "Delete this bunch of particles!"

"I just studied the sand, and I somehow ran into Lady Ye's kingdom of God..." Amber suddenly shrank his neck, and his face was full of "I just made a big death but didn't die. But at this time I was discovered by you. Very nervous" expression, "Fortunately I didn't see the gods directly..."

"You study those'shadow dust'... you have studied yourself to the Kingdom of Shadow God?" Gao Wen finally made sure that he hadn't had any auditory hallucinations just now, and he repeated it with his eyes wide open before he took a hard breath and let himself The blood pressure and heart rate that soared up all at once slowly bounced back. This skinny half-elf hasn't used such a power to make blood pressure soar for a long time, so that he almost forgot that this guy can make it out of it if left alone. What a big thing, at this moment, he was thankful that his body was strong enough, otherwise he was afraid that his heart and brain blood vessels would collapse when Amber spoke, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Ah, it's like this..." Amber hurriedly nodded and spoke quickly, before Gawain took out something to shoot himself on the wall, and told her about the recent experience in order to reflect her fearless exploration. Spirit, and emphasized that she really just wanted to do some research on those shadows and dust. It was an accident that she couldn't control her mistakenly entering the kingdom of God, but obviously, her worries were completely unnecessary.

Gawain didn’t care about these details at all, and he didn’t mean to beat Amber from the beginning. After all, he entrusted Amber to the shadows and dust. Any accident during the research process cannot be regarded as a "liability accident." "Rather than investigating this shame of all things in the research process, whether there is insufficient caution and over-minded omissions, he is now more concerned about the huge amount of information mentioned by the other party when describing the country of Lady Ye God!

  "Do you see the source of the voice that Modil Wilde heard? That is a book? And that book calls itself ‘Wild’ and you don’t know the name ‘Modil’ yet?”

   "There is no one on Lady Night's throne? The book says that he may have gone to the ‘frontier’ to deal with ‘trouble’? There is trouble at the border of the Kingdom of Shadows... Is it the pollution we are worried about?"

  "You said Ms. Ye often dreams? The way to escape from the Kingdom of Shadows is to jump from a height, just like waking up from a dream?"

   "Be careful of the sentry? Watch out for what kind of sentry? Wilde doesn't even know it? That whole book is all about this endless warning?"

  Gao Wen became more frightened as he listened, and his eyes opened wider and wider. Along with Amber’s extremely clear and complete narrative, a series of significant information even made him feel a little confused. During the whole process, he took advantage of Humber's pause to confirm some details more than once, and every detail of his doubts was quickly supplemented by the other party.

No matter how unreliable the usual performance is, Amber is his intelligence minister after all, and has grown up in the past few years. In such serious matters, she has performed meticulously and described every detail with precision. And it covered all the important points. After her voice finally fell, Gawain had fully understood the whole process of her incredible adventure.

"You really have an incredible experience..." On the terrace at dusk, Gawain looked at Amber with a helpless expression, "I really didn't expect that I didn't see you in the afternoon. Such an amazing thing..."

"This is not what I thought." Amber was helpless than Gawain. "Seriously, I was almost scared to death. Don't you know how extreme methods I used to control my sanity and avoid being Some indescribable things in the Kingdom of God are polluting..."

"Looking at your expression, I know that this'extreme means' is not very serious," Gawain immediately waved his hand. "Let’s talk about business first, first of all about the... "book" you saw over there, except Apart from claiming to be called Wilde, do you have any clues to explain the connection between him and the real "Modil Wilde"?"

"No, I just chatted with him'over there' for a while. Except for the big scary throne altar, there is no desert on the side. There is also a talking book with no clues to find. "," Kohaku shook his head, and then showed a thoughtful expression. "There is a big adventurer named Modil in the real world, who looks like a normal person, wandering around the world, the **** of Lady Ye In the country, a great adventurer named Wilde turned into a book and was placed in front of the throne of the gods. This thing sounds more bizarre than the story of the bard... You say, Modil Weil What happened to De?"

"I don't know," Gawain frowned, with a lot of speculation in his heart, "It sounds like he is split into two parts, these two parts have a surname and a first name, but who knows how all this happened? According to the existing clues, it seems that Ms. Ye is the root of all this... but I always feel that something is wrong..."

"I don't think it's right," Amber nodded. "From Wilde's words, I guess that he also accidentally entered the'misplaced kingdom of God', and Ms. Ye didn't seem to take the initiative to participate in all this... although not Excluding that ancient **** is concealing something from Wilde, but for a god... Isn't this concealment unnecessary? He can't just find someone to tell himself a story, right?"

"Telling the story... by the way, this is still a problem," Gawain said with a serious expression. "Maggie mentioned that after Modil strayed into the'over there' several times, he heard the'other self' giving Ms. Ye tells the story, and Ms. Ye exchanges what she saw in her dreams, but when Modil returned to the real world, no matter how she recalled it, she couldn't remember the content of the dream described by Ms. Ye. Do you have any in this regard? Ask about that book? What is Ms. Ye's dream?"

"I haven't had time to ask," Amber shook his head regretfully, "I was suddenly'thrown' back into the real world, and there were so many things I wanted to ask at the time, and I didn't think of it for a while. I only know that one. The Shadow Goddess seems to be in a state of'dreaming' for a long time, and his'dreams' will not be interrupted even when he is awake or sleeping. I can't imagine what it is like. The things of the gods are really hard to understand."

"Enya once told me that the'dreams' of the gods are by no means pure dreams. As beings born from thoughts, all of the thinking activities of the gods can actually be regarded as the result of mutual mapping with the real world, even if they have been separated from the thoughts. The gods who have gained freedom will have inextricable connections between their dreams and the real world," Gawain touched his chin and said in a deep voice in thought, "It is precisely because of this mapping that the gods will consciously control themselves. Amoen, Mirmina, and Enya, who are now free, are no exceptions in order to avoid losing control of their power.

"But I don't know if the Shadow Goddess is also affected by this rule. After all, she has been out of this world for too long, and has been isolated from more than 1.8 million years of thought...enough to turn her into a real world almost with us. Unrelated'extraterritorial creatures', how much disturbance her dreams can cause on our side is completely unknown."

Amber suddenly blinked as he listened, and raised an eyebrow at Gao Wen: "That's an extraterritorial wanderer than you, an'extraterritorial wanderer'. They are all wandering endlessly... The difference is that you are used to scare people. , It's true."

  Gawain instantly slammed a chestnut on the half-elf’s head: “No one will take you as a dumb if you don’t speak.”

  What a clever half-elf, it’s a pity that it has a long mouth.

   Amber hugged his head as he was knocked, and he quieted down with a sound of "Mom" in his mouth. Gao Wen shook his head, feeling a little bit in his heart.

The problem of the dreams of the gods, the problem of the reflection of the thoughts... These are the two that impressed him the most among the many weird rules of this world. Even in the early days, he was once resisted and confused. All these subverted his view of the "material world". "The cognition blurs the boundary between matter and consciousness. For a soul who has crossed from the earth, the scene presented... is almost absurd and confused.

However, this world does work like this. Spirit can affect matter, and matter can affect spirit. The two can not only map each other, but also transform each other when conditions are right. Whether it is a magician who relies on spiritual power to shape various magical phenomena, To change the form of matter, or whether the projection of mortal thoughts creates gods, or the spiritual radiation of gods changes reality out of thin air...All of these phenomena that are "unreasonable" to the people on earth, the essence behind them is actually the same.

  Sometimes Gao Wen couldn't help but think...If there is a theory that can explain this phenomenon of mental and material interaction or even mutual transformation...Perhaps it is equivalent to explaining the "underlying truth" of this world.

  Will this theory be hidden in the truth of magic? Or will it be hidden in a deeper realm that mortals have not yet imagined?

  He accidentally fell into thinking, but soon a voice awakened him from his contemplation: "Hey, hey, are you distracted again?"

Gao Wen Ji Ling suddenly woke up and saw a small palm waving vigorously in front of his eyes. He raised his head to look at the owner of the palm, and Humber instantly hugged his head again: "I just knocked it! If you make a mistake once, knock it a second time!"

"Okay, let's talk about business," Gawain waved his hand, and said while arranging his thoughts, "Leave the matter of Wild and Lady Ye aside for the time being, I am now more concerned about the'sentinel' you mentioned last... What does the sentinel mean?"

"I don't know. The Communist Party of China just warned. There are too many possible explanations." Amber shook his head. "But one thing is certain. This warning is absolutely very, very important. Otherwise, the entire book will not be filled. A so special'book'."

"Sentinel, what it refers to is probably some kind of'guard', and this guard should be an extremely powerful and dangerous existence, or the thing it guards is very dangerous, spreading pollution, and turning the sentry into a source of danger. Possibly," Gao Wen said thoughtfully, "according to this standard, the dragons who are responsible for monitoring the tower of the tide can be regarded as'sentinels', and the iron soldiers in the depths of the Gondor wasteland can also be regarded as'sentinels'. , Even the sentinel towers that the elves set up on the magnificent wall node are “sentinels”, and no matter which one of these sentries has a problem, it is a crisis worthy of vigilance, but I think it’s with Wilde’s “book” Compared with the'Caution Sentry' warnings on the top page, none of these are qualified."

  Amber frowned slightly: "Not enough?"

  Gawain didn’t give any further explanation, but more thoughts popped up in his mind

  In addition to the things he just mentioned, there is actually an existence that can be called a "sentinel" in this world.

  Surveillance satellites high in the sky, and the orbiting space station "sky" around the planet.

These are used to monitor the state of the planets and keep an eye on the legacy of the demons and gods. They seem to be more suitable to be called "sentinels" than everything he mentioned just now, and if these things go wrong, It is indeed quite "qualified" to trigger the highest level of warning.

  But how can these things go wrong? Although they are indeed in disrepair for a long time, they are only gradually losing their function and becoming tombstones floating in space. Gao Wen can understand most of their states and can confirm that the satellites and space stations are not out of control. , And even if we take a step back, they fell out of control and fell to the ground... For the civilization on this planet today, a bunch of satellites and space stations smashed down from orbit, no matter how "careful" is useful?

  That thing even the Dragon God in its heyday couldn't hold it.

In Gao Wen's view, since the word "beware of sentry" was mentioned in the warning that Amber saw, it shows that for dangerous "sentinels", mortal "careful" is useful, otherwise this There is no need to warn, people all over the world can just lie flat together...
