Sword of Daybreaker

Countless speculations popped up in Gawain's mind for a while, about the sentinel mentioned in the "Book of Wilde", about the disturbing warning, but no matter how deduced, all these speculations, after all, lacked the key and Powerful clues-you can only think about it in the end when you think about it.

   "Wild said he didn't know anything about'Sentinel'?" After waking up from his thoughts, Gawain couldn't help looking at Amber and confirmed it again.

"That's what he said," Amber nodded. "In fact, he didn't know the contents of his'book'. If it weren't for me to open the book suddenly, he didn't even realize that he could be opened— —I feel that his state of mind must also be problematic. As Maggie mentioned, there are many gaps in Modil’s memory. Now it seems that Modil has similar symptoms in most of his body."

"...You said that it was the'sentinel' that caused Modil Wilde to split?" Gawain thought for a while, and suddenly said, "We assume that the sentry is something that we don't understand yet and has a powerful A dangerous individual of strength, and Modil Wilde came into contact with him by mistake during an adventure, which led to his split, and caused Wilde’s memory to leave a strong impression of a “careful sentinel” , But later due to unknown reasons, this part of his memory disappeared, leaving only a warning that he didn't even know was left in the book..."

Amber nodded while listening to Gawain's words. As soon as the other party finished speaking, she said, "Don't tell me, I guessed that way...Aren't many stories written like this? Adventurers encountered ancient evil spirits. After paying a huge price, I left a message to warn future generations, but I lost my memory or something. It is said that the playwrights will make the protagonist amnesia once the plot can't go on..."

Hearing the first half of Amber's sentence, Gawain felt relieved. It was very pleasant to think about the shame of all things, and he was in agreement with him. As a result, he heard the second half of the sentence immediately afterwards, and suddenly felt that he had a pit in his head. Then he believed Amber’s mouth, and then he shook his head, trying to eliminate the interference caused by the shadow assault goose to his thoughts, his expression became serious again: "Anyway, since you got that sentence in the Kingdom of Shadow God Warning, then this matter must be taken seriously. I will ask Heidi to arrange manpower to look up various ancient books to see if he can find clues about the sentinel... In addition, I have to ask Enya to find out, as the world’s best The ancient god, he must know more than you and me..."

Listening to Gawain's arrangement, Amber showed a thoughtful look, and suddenly muttered to himself: "In fact, there is one thing I am curious about... The warning in the'book' is really written for us. Is it? Or...is it just for us?"

  Gawain suddenly frowned: "What does this mean?"

"It was a complete accident that I entered the Kingdom of Shadow Gods-I met Wilde afterwards, opened the book and saw the warning in the book, which is even more unpredictable. Under normal circumstances, how can a mortal run to one place and lose it in this world? Contact the Kingdom of God for more than a million years to open a book that looks wrong? So... is the warning recorded in that book really for mortals?"

Amber’s sudden question made Gawain stunned, and he realized that there was indeed a misunderstanding of thinking here-the warning was only seen by Amber by coincidence, and the warning itself did not specify who it was written to. Yes, now he and Amber instinctively believe that the warning was written to mortals under the influence of their mental inertia... Is this judgment accurate?

  Considering that the “book” full of warnings has been lying in Lady Ye’s kingdom of God, Gao Wen suddenly felt that the possible truth behind this incident became even more frightening.

And while more disturbing possibilities suddenly popped up in his mind, his attention couldn't help but fall on Amber, who had just had a bizarre experience: "Speaking of your entry into the Kingdom of Shadows... this It should touch you a lot, right?"

   "Huh?" Amber didn't seem to expect that Gawain would suddenly extend the topic to himself. He was a little dazed for a while, and only reacted after two or three seconds, "Are you caring about me?"

"Nonsense, you have been yelling that you are the Chosen of the Shadow God for several years, and you usually claim to be quite pious. At this time, you suddenly ran into the Kingdom of the Shadow God and took a circle... Although you didn't directly meet the **** of the night lady, but Is your mental state really okay?" Gawain's gaze fell on Kohaku. Although the tone of his speech was as ridiculous as ever, there was indeed a bit of worry in the depths of his eyes, "Whether you are really Chosen by the Shadows, This kind of experience is no small matter for a believer..."

Amber blinked. If it were the past, she would definitely refute Gawain’s questioning words about her shadow selection and pious attitude for the first time, but this time she was abnormally not eager to speak, but quietly thinking. After a few seconds, those amber eyes seemed to have a very serious look, and this attitude seemed to further confirm Gawain’s worries-this guy who claimed to be the Chosen of Shadows really ran into the Kingdom of Shadows. After a lap, the stimulus went viral.

  But just when Gao Wen couldn't help but want to continue to say something, Amber suddenly raised his head, showing a simple, warm and bright smile that rarely appeared on her face.

   "I don't worry about this anymore."

   "Huh?" Gawain didn't react at once, "Aren't you entangled with this?"

"I did struggle. Don’t look at my usual carelessness, but there are so many things I’ve tangled in private, but this time I really went to Lady Ye’s kingdom of God... I found one thing, one thing that made me do it myself. Unexpected things," Amber smiled, and for some reason, a relaxed atmosphere haunted her. This breath has never appeared in her, "I found...my faith may not point to Ye Ms……"

   Gao Wen never expected that he would hear this, and he was stunned: "Does your faith point to Miss Ye?"

"Yes, it's not him. I don't know how to explain this matter... Because according to the research of the Theocracy Council, there should be no such'deviation' in the belief orientation of mortals, but considering that the status quo of belief in the Shadow Realm is extremely special, Maybe I've encountered a small probability event," Kohaku exhaled, and said while thinking, "I felt his breath in Lady Ye's kingdom of God, which is the same as the voice I once'heared'. It feels completely different, I suspect... the'Shadow Goddess' I have always believed in has another'person', a high-ranking existence beyond imagination that we don't yet know."

Gao Wen was stunned, looking at Amber, who was still smiling, before he could not help but stare at him to break the silence: "You can still laugh? Isn't this more serious?! Your faith points to Ms. Ye. At least we still know who usually responds to your prayers. Now that you say that you believe in it, you don’t know what kind of existence it is. Tell Carmel about this. If he can illuminate half of the city on the spot, do you believe it?"

"Finally, you don't doubt that I can hear the voice of the gods?" Kohaku didn't look nervous at all. Instead, he smiled more and more hippies. "Let me just say, I'm the Chosen of the Shadows, I've been Chosen by the Shadows for many years. ..."

"This is not the time to make a joke," Gawain interrupted her, "There is an unidentified high-ranking entity who has been responding to your prayers. In my opinion, this matter is even more serious than the'careful sentry'-this is not you. Human affairs. You should know that although there are many gods in the world, there are exact numbers and names of "right gods" who can respond to prayers. They are born from thoughts, and the mapping mechanism of thoughts determines that they cannot hide themselves. Exist, there is no way to conceal or forge your own priesthood and deity...Are you sure that you cannot be sure of the high-level existence that answers your prayers?"

"He said that he is the Goddess of Shadow...but I don't know the specifics," Kohaku finally condensed her skinny smile, and said a little seriously, "In fact, I don't have many opportunities to communicate with him, although As long as we establish communication, we can talk happily for a long time, but in most cases, the relationship between me and Him... seems to be far, far away, and we can’t keep in touch all the time. He seldom talks to me about the church, Regarding things in the realm of gods, every time I ask about this, he will say that it is too troublesome, and it is better to cook something interesting..."

It is not the first time that Gawain has heard these inconspicuous content from Amber's mouth, but today this is the first time he listened to the other party so seriously, and he thought about it seriously, and he waited until Amber's voice fell. I kept talking: "You and your'goddess' usually only talk about this? Don't you think there is something wrong?"

"I always thought that other gods would be like this too!" Amber suddenly became confident. "You don't know what I did before. How can I get in touch with the big figures in various churches? I thought they were all like this too— —It's only in the last two years that I have had a lot of contact with those'big guys' before, and I realized a little bit that there might be something wrong with my situation, but it was just'a little bit aware'..."

   "...It's a real loss for you to live peacefully until now," Gao Wen couldn't help but look up and down at Amber with strange eyes. "Is it because you have a good heart to live so much by relying on it because you are broad-minded?"

   "Otherwise?" Amber immediately stared and asked with more confidence, "Do you rely on money and strength? Do you think I have been a person who grew up with these two kinds of people?"

  Gawain muttered in his heart and found that he really couldn’t refute this goose...

But fortunately, Kohaku herself also knew that some things should not be joking, she waved her hand quickly, and after a short thought, said: "I know that such an unidentified high position is very nervous. In this world There are too many things that mortals can't fight, we must be cautious in every step, but one thing I can be sure of is that the'Shadow Goddess' I know... He is at least friendly.

   "Of course, judging whether a high-level existence is friendly based on mortal cognition may be a bit unreliable in itself, so my feelings are only a reference for you."

  Gao Wen muttered, after thinking for a long time, he just nodded, noncommittal: "I know."

  He is not a person who can casually say "I believe you" in this kind of scene. His personality does not allow him to do so, and his position does not allow him to make judgments about one thing.

"I will let the God Analysis Laboratory arrange some targeted tests as soon as possible to see if we can find the high-ranking existence that has established contact with you. Even if we can't find Him, we must find a way to determine whether He is a deity we know. One, and also check your "connection" status to see if there is any potential pollution hazard. Are you okay with this?"

   "Of course I have no problem." Amber immediately shook his head. "Behave according to the rules. I can't break the rules."

  She and Gao Wen tacitly did not mention the "termination of faith" because of an obvious fact:

  Once the connection with God is established, it is not so easy to unilaterally cut it off.

  Afterwards, Gao Wen muttered for a moment, and then said: “If you have a chance to establish contact with your ‘Shadow Goddess’ in the future, remember to ask...”

   "Of course, I will ask," Amber nodded before Gao Wen finished speaking, "I will ask who he is, what he wants to do, and whether there is any connection between him and Lady Ye..."

   Gao Wen nodded slowly.

  After this, Amber remained quiet for a few seconds before breaking the silence again: "In addition...I have one more thing, which is quite exciting..."

Gawain immediately felt that his heartbeat that had finally calmed down was a few "bangs" (he even understood a little bit how Miss MyLittlePony felt when she was talking to him), and he looked up at Amber: "You only have this afternoon. How many exciting things have been created by the effort?"

"Hey, this is the last one, it's really the last one," Amber quickly said with a wave of hands, "In fact, I wanted to put this matter at the beginning, but after thinking about it, it is better to give priority to business affairs. I'm afraid to let it go first. After you read this, it affects your subsequent mentality-it's nothing else, mainly because I found that I might... also bring something from Lady Ye's kingdom of God."

  While speaking, she slightly raised her right hand and gently rubbed her fingers in front of Gawain.

A wisp of gray-white sand dust like flowing water appeared on her fingertips out of thin air, with a slight rustling sound flowing on the floor, and the gray-white color spread over the dust-covered area, as if a foreign land incompatible with the present world was covering this. world.

Amber’s voice then came to Gawain’s ears: “Although I confirmed that my beliefs are not directed towards Ms. Ye, I don’t know why... I still feel that I have established a connection with the'kingdom of God' and brought back this ..."

  Gawain was surprised to watch the dust pile up on the ground, listening to Amber’s voice ringing in his ears, and finally widened his eyes: "Wait a minute, what do you say this is!?"

   "Shadow Dust," Kohaku stopped calling the quicksand, and with a snap of his finger, he classified it as nothingness, "Probably..."

   "Probably?"

"Um...probably," Kohaku scratched her hair, her expression turned a little weird, "because this thing looks very similar to the few grains of sand that Maggie brought back, but the actual difference is big. I summoned them. After I came out, I tested it many times and found that the sand seems to be used only as sand..."

   Gao Wen: "...?"

"That's...the grayish white that they spread is really just a layer of color, there is no extraordinary power in it, and the sand itself does not have the'relevant power' that completely isolates the interference of the world. I grabbed some sand and rubbed it on the ground. Rubbing, there is still color, rubbing it is black..."

   Gao Wen: "...No, how do you sound like a free gift?"
