Sword of Daybreaker

  The flow of sand and dust stopped.

Under Amber’s control, the shadows and dust floating in the air turned into a static stage. The towering pillars, the blurry perspective, and the three figures in the center of the stage were frozen in front of Gao Wen. Gao Wen leaned closer. , Staring at the two figures standing in front of Modil in the center of the "stage", in the unclear quicksand illusion, he vaguely distinguished that they should be two women, and they had vaguely the characteristics of elves.

More details are obviously indistinguishable. In the illusion of such a square inch, the images formed by the floating sand and dust cannot be very clear, not to mention the images themselves are amber that has been obliterated by time and does not know the source. Extracted from the deepest part of the memory, it is a miracle in itself that it can present such a complete scene.

"This is the scene I extracted from the deepest'records' of these shadows and dusts..." Amber's voice came from the side, with thoughts in his tone, "These dusts replaced half of Modil's body. , Their records are very likely to be mixed with the memories of Modil’s disappearance, and this scene is obviously the deepest scene in all memories...Two women, and they are still elves, what do you think of?"

Gawain did not answer Amber’s question immediately. He was still carefully observing the two indistinct faces. After a long time, he said in a nearly affirmative tone: "It's the pair of elves Phil Sister Na and Leerna."

   Amber was a little surprised: "The tone is so sure?"

"I can only think of this, and I have seen the information about the pair of elven twins from Veronica and Bertila, and I can vaguely judge the similarities between these dust illusions," Gawain Nodded gently, "Unless you can think of other possibilities."

"...Then I believe your judgment," Kohaku nodded without hesitation, then frowned slightly, "So the last time Modil Wilde saw the twin elves after that. , He has undergone a'mutation'. He may be split into two individuals. One of them fell into the Kingdom of Shadow God and became the book named'Wild', while the other remained in this world, but Half of his body was replaced by the shadow and dust, his memory was also torn apart, and he forgot about this matter..."

   "Now you have retrieved this dusty memory from the dust on his body," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "Now we finally have some clues."

"Completely unexpected clues, I tell you that Film can't make up this story," Amber said with staring eyes. "I didn't think that I would have been involved in the two elves sisters in the end! How did Dill Wilde get involved with them? According to the timeline we know, the elven twins at that time were already the patriarchs of the Society of the End of All Things..."

"Not only the patriarch of the Society for the End of All Things, but he has also visited the border of the Kingdom of God. After returning, it is very likely that they have been replaced by some kind of'inhuman being'... I can't think of a word to describe them," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, all kinds of clues were emerging in his mind and connected to form, "Although all things die from the beginning, they can directly degenerate into the three dark sects without slowing down. One of the most extreme methods, I think these two'ghosts in the realm of God' who have mixed into mortals have played a huge role."

Speaking of this, he paused, his gaze returned to the "stage" of the dust that was still in a static state again, and his tone became a little confused: "... But as you said, how did Modil Wilde back then? Will you run into them? The adventurer was active in the northern wilderness before his disappearance, and according to the information we have now, the elven twins should be secretly developing the dark church Bertila in the south of Anzu or the southeast border near Typhon. I remember this time very clearly."

"And the place where they met is equally curious," Kohaku said, pointing to the dust. "Look at these things like pillars, as well as these beams and structures like domes connected between the pillars. Experts in the field of architecture, but I am sure that this is not the architectural style of any northern country. The Silver Empire barely touches, but their domes use another connection method..."

Gawain didn’t say a word, he just carefully watched the “buildings” outlined by the sand and dust for a long time before breaking the silence thoughtfully: "Have you ever thought that there is another possibility... about being here with Modi? Another possibility for the elven twins you met."

   "Another possibility?" Amber didn't react for a while, "What do you mean?"

"All kinds of clues indicate that the Sisters Lerna, who returned from the border of the Kingdom of God in the Gondor period, may have been replaced by some indescribable force, and the real elven twins may have been left in the realm of the Kingdom of God that humans cannot reach forever. , So..." Gawain said slowly as he thought, his tone was serious, and his fingers pointed at the two figures standing in front of Modil in the sand dust illusion, "The two elves standing here...maybe not The two'freaks' in the Society of the End of All Things."

Amber slowly widened her eyes. She understood Gawain’s thoughts, but she fell into a great consternation: "You mean, what Modil Wilde saw back then was the'genuine' Sister Lena? Lost. The pair at the border of the kingdom of God?! What appears here..."

"I'm just a guess," Gawain interrupted Amber's thoughts extending downward, his fingers tapped the coffee table in front of him unconsciously, "Many clues are fragmented, interspersed with each other and difficult to connect as a whole, but think about it carefully. There are many clues that Modil is split into two parts, one part is in the Kingdom of Shadow God, and the other part is replaced by shadow sand and half of the body. This change cannot happen in the present world; on the other hand, what we know The "Elves Twins" are cultists who are active in the End of All Things. Six hundred years ago, they followed the fallen druids in the south of Anzu. It is basically impossible to have an intersection with Modil, who had already traveled to the north at that time. ;the last point……"

  He paused, and looked up at Amber’s eyes, with a low tone of voice: "You just said that these pillars and domes are not like the architectural styles of any country on the mainland. What if this is a certain ‘frontier of the kingdom of God’?"

Amber blinked and listened in a daze. After Gawain finished speaking, she slowly reacted. She glanced at the scene outlined by the sand dust with almost horrified eyes, and muttered in her mouth. Words: "The border of the kingdom of God... can this mortal come back alive after going? Not every kingdom of God is as'harmless' as the kingdom of God of War... And how did Modil get there?"

"He is a great adventurer, Modil, who can convert himself into an'artificial shadow dweller', a figure in the shadow world who has not been killed, he can run to a certain border of the kingdom of God. "No surprise," Gawain muttered with a weird expression. "And when it comes to coming back alive...Look at Modil's current state, can this be said to be'returning alive'? Maybe his current state is weird. One of the costs of spying on the kingdom of God..."

Amber nodded thoughtfully, and then knocked off the table as if suddenly thinking of something: "Ah! Wait! If your guess is true, Modil saw him lost on the border of the kingdom of God almost six hundred years ago. Sisters Leerna...that pair of sisters disappeared during the Gondor Spark era!! Doesn't that mean that they have survived on the border of the kingdom of God for four centuries?"

"It's at least four centuries," Gawain said with a serious expression, raising his hand to the illusion in the sand. "This shows that their condition is still good, and based on the lifespan of the elves, if they have been there for four centuries, then They can continue to live for many years, and it may even be..."

"It may even be alive now!!" Amber stood up from the coffee table, and then whispered with a frown in an incredible tone, "My god...Is it possible...I was lost a thousand years ago. The elven twins on the border of the kingdom of God, now you say they might be alive? This...

"We have speculated too far." Seeing Amber's excitement, Gawain had to speak to calm her down. "All our guesses so far have been based on limited indirect clues and assumptions, and I don't It is not only a question of miracles or miracles that the elven twins are really alive until now. Now instead of continuing to discuss which direction these speculations can extend, we should pay more attention to business matters, such as...Mudil's problems. "

Amber finally cooled down from the excitement. She frowned and carefully observed the shadows and dust floating on the coffee table. Then she snapped her fingers. The dust disappeared into the air instantly, and she turned her head to look towards Gao Wen said in a serious tone: "At this stage, I can interfere with the shadow and dust on Modil to'stabilize' him. I have probably figured out that it is the resonance between those dust and the kingdom of God. , Which led to Modil establishing a connection with the'over there' step by step in his dream. Although I don't know what the mechanism behind this resonance is, it is not difficult to temporarily suppress this resonance.

"Of course, this is just an expedient measure. I can temporarily let Modil stay on'here', but as long as his split state continues, the problems with his memory, soul, body, and the'book' will remain. I still can’t solve it. I don’t have any clues about this. The easiest thing to think of is to find a way to establish contact with Madam Ye, but so far, whether it’s Modil or myself, visiting Madam Ye’s Kingdom of God is a random event, and we will be supposed to. I can’t grasp the rules here...

"Of course, I have another idea, that is, I want to carry out some kind of'calling' in the real world, forcibly pulling the'book' called Wilde from'over there' to our side, and then see if we can He and Modil merged together..."

Gao Wen couldn't help but glanced at her: "Your idea is less reliable than the first one. As long as we can pull'Wild' from'over there,' we will definitely be able to establish contact with Ms. Ye. And even if Can you really pull the book named Wilde to'here', how are you going to blend him and Modil together? Find a big tank to put them in and stir them vigorously?"

"So this matter can only be put on hold for the time being," Amber shrugged "It's none of my business", "What I can do now is to temporarily stabilize the state of the great adventurer, at least to ensure that he will not be affected. Suck the'over there', and how to solve it later... That has to be a question that smart people like you and Victoria should consider. And we have to study what to do with the'tower' near the west coast in the future, to be thorough To solve Modil's problems, he still has to push back."

Gao Wen had to admit that what Amber said this time was indeed very practical, and to be honest, the intelligence they extracted from the sand and dust this time has far exceeded expectations. Before more clues surfaced, he should indeed use it. Focus on another important event.

"What you said makes sense, we still have to spare enough energy to deal with that'tower'," Gawain sighed lightly, and rarely affirmed Amber's words positively, "At least the situation in Modil can be obtained now. Temporarily stable, Victoria will definitely thank you..."

"It doesn't matter if you thank you or not. I think about the scene of the ice cube saying thank you with a stern face, I feel cold all over if she is willing to bring out the gold leaf wine and frost grass winter dew wine stored in the winter castle wine cellar for me. The bottle is just fine, I've been greedy for her treasures for a long time..."

   Gawain suddenly became a little curious as he listened: "Wait, you've been to Winterberg? How do you know what's in Victoria's cellar? She doesn't seem to be someone who can talk to you about these topics..."

"She won't, her nephew will!" Amber suddenly became proud. "I asked Fendier. He said that his aunt's wine cellar is full of good things. Some have been drinking it for seven days, and some have been stealing it for seven days. After drinking it for half a month, and after drinking it, it will be thrown directly out of the castle terrace. I don’t have much demand, so I can just take a half-a-month grade for half a car..."

   Gao Wen: "...?"

  ……

  At the same time, the depths of the Gondor Wasteland shrouded in filthy clouds.

Standing on the barren plains are rugged ruins. The once glorious and advanced city hundreds of years ago has turned into ruined walls. Under the erosion of polluting wind and dust, the rugged skeleton of the building has become terrifying, twisted steel and steel. The cement points towards the sky like sharp claws. Around the ruins of the city, there are scattered fragments of compaction on the ground. These were the public transportation roads used to connect various cities, but now they have almost integrated with the entire land. Was buried in the mud and swallowed.

  However, in the ruins of such a desolate and lifeless city, there is now a "vibrant" "vegetation" growing out of the corrupted land, covering a small area of ​​the city center.

Dark green vines entangled the collapsed buildings, unknown shrubs grew out of rusty and dilapidated steel, and twisted trees swayed their dry and ugly canopy in the "active area" constructed by those vines and shrubs. "The inside is busy coming and going, and in the most central area where they are active, dozens of large aberrations with bone spurs and faces like melting and flowing red silt are working hard under the command of some tree people. Excavating the ruins of a large building.

  Near the excavation area, at the top of a weathered platform protruding from the ground, two figures are overlooking the busy "construction site" not far away.

  Elf twins, sisters Lena and Ferna.
