Sword of Daybreaker

Under the starry sky of the extreme night, a giant steel island that has been silent for nearly two million years, mottled with ancient prehistoric civilization creations, steel roads extending straight in the dark—and street lights that start on their own.

Amber Ao's voice disappeared in front of Gawain. It took half a minute before she exposed half of her head in the shadowy crevice in the air. She watched the movement outside with fear, and while looking around, she muttered carefully: "Nothing comes out, right?"

Gawain held the Trailblazer Longsword in one hand, and lifted Amber out of the rift in the shadow in one hand, while maintaining alertness to the surroundings, he whispered: "No... but it seems that something here has noticed our arrival. …"

The top of the battle staff in Modil's hand is condensed with strands of magical light. The old mage has put at least dozens of layers of protection on himself in just half a second, which is now accumulated in the staff. His remaining energy was escaping into the atmosphere little by little. He watched the movement in the steel ruins with full face vigilantly. After hearing Gawain’s words, he muttered softly without knowing whether it was nervous or excited: "Such an ancient The ruins can still be'living'... I have never seen such a bizarre thing in my entire life!"

Gawain glanced at the old mage, but before he could speak, Modil himself muttered: "Oh, maybe I haven't seen it...maybe I have seen it many times, but I forgot..."

"You are really proficient in this." Gawain casually said to ease the atmosphere, and then he returned his attention to the ancient ruins in front of him-the light **** rising from the metal pillars on the roadside were quietly Floating in the midair several meters high, the constant light emitted illuminates the road in the dark, and stretches out a long way along the road. Gao Wen looks far away, seeing not only the road in front of him, but even far away Some of the street lights in the area are also activated for the first time. From this position, he can't judge how much area the lighting system restarts at this moment, but he can be sure that the scale is certainly not small.

Because just a moment, the communicator worn by Amber’s waist rang, and Byron’s nervous voice came from it: "Your Majesty! What happened to your side? I saw many areas at the foot of the tower suddenly being photographed. Bright!"

There is a WeChat official account to receive red envelopes and coins on a first-come, first-served basis!

"Can you even see it over there?" Gao Wen opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then shook his head. "Don't worry, just turn on some ancient lighting. Keep your side vigilant and I will notify you immediately if there is a situation. ."

The communication with the Bitter Winter was temporarily suspended, and Gawain and his party began to continue their activities in the ruins that suddenly "moved a little"-Gawain, holding the Trailblazer's sword, walked in the forefront of the team, followed by putting on himself again There are dozens of layers of protection, and by the way, Gawain and Amber have also set dozens of layers of protection. Amber has transformed herself into a state of shadow affinity. Amidst the ever-changing light and shadow, her figure is in the team. The front, back, left, and right are hidden from time to time, paying attention to movements in all directions.

Modil's gaze couldn't help but be attracted by this half-elf whose shadow control is terrifying. No matter how knowledgeable the old mage is in his life, he has never seen a fierce man who can use shadow jumping as a walk. He couldn't help but stare. Eyes widened: "...This is really the most skilled stalker I have ever seen in my life. She alone is enough to watch all the wind and grass in the night!"

Gao Wen glanced at Amber that was running around in his sight, and said casually: "Don't be fooled. She ran around mainly to get a step faster when she ran."

Modil: "...?"

Amber apparently heard Gawain’s comments, but she was used to it and she was not ashamed of it, so her face didn’t change at all, and after rushing around for a while, she was able to run up to Gawain with confidence and express her hard work: "I After investigating around, I found that only these street lights were activated, and there was no more movement."

Gawain nodded, he is also paying attention to the surrounding situation, and everything is exactly as Humber said:

Everything is dead in the ancient ruins. Only the distant waves and the sound of the wind in the ear stir the tranquility under the night, and it is in this lifelessness that the abruptly lit street lamps are extraordinarily weird and alert.

"I think we'd better get around these places that are illuminated by street lights," Amber said suddenly, her expression a little nervous, "It doesn't feel like a good idea to act in such an environment where all sides are illuminated."

"All the areas leading to the tower have been illuminated by these street lights." Gao Wen looked up and looked into the distance. Of course he knew that Amber's nervousness had some truth, but after observing the situation in the distance, he realized that he was walking. I am afraid that people will have to bite the bullet and walk under these weirdly lit street lights, "The lighting system is started with a high tower as the center. The more you go to the center, the less blind spots are covered by the lights-let's go, at least we have a clear direction. "

Amber can only suppress the tension in his heart, shrinking his neck and continuing to follow Gao Wen. They walked toward the foundation of the tower on the wide and straight road, while Modil's eyes kept sweeping around, curiously Look at the signs that accidentally appeared on the side of the road, or the ground markings that have been defaced and mutilated.

"Such a wide road... more spacious than the central avenue of Cecil City..." Amber couldn't help but whispered, "Who do you think this road is for? Are the sailors all giants several meters high? "

"It may also be that the vehicles they use here are huge," Gawain shook his head. "Enya said that the sailors are a race with almost the same size as humans, and their appearance is even similar to most humanoid creatures, but They have a lot of huge and amazing machinery—in the bases built by the sailors, there are often more intelligent vehicles that shuttle back and forth than people. When this facility was still in operation, most of the vehicles running on these roads were probably also It’s the mechanical vehicles they built...maybe most of them are for engineering purposes."

"Here is a street sign that can still be seen," Modil seemed to have suddenly noticed something, and pointed to the midair above the crowd, "Above...oh, I don't know a word..."

Gao Wen immediately followed the direction of the old master’s finger. He saw a horizontal alloy beam straddling the road. A huge sign was fixed on it, as well as several devices that were out of function and of unknown purpose. The sign There is additional lighting at the bottom of the sign to illuminate the mottled but still recognizable characters on the sign.

It is a mysterious and unknown text, connected by short dots, lines and graceful arcs, with indicative arrows next to it. I am afraid that no one on the continent of Loren today can discern those characters—Enya may know Some, but she is not here at the moment.

Gao Wen looked up and stared at the street sign for a moment, and then he was about to withdraw his gaze, but at this moment, the characters that were unfamiliar in his eyes suddenly trembled, and then he saw that they were deformed in his own eyes as if they had come alive. Wandering, in the rapid reorganization of the lines, the meaning of those characters then came to his mind—

"The front leads to the entrance of the production center B-17;

"Driving safely, keep in mind, make the most of production, slow down and drive slowly;

"Deduct 20 order points for speeding here and record a level 2 negative behavior once."

Gao Wen blinked, and subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. Amber next to him immediately asked curiously: "What's the matter with you? How old are you? Weeping in the wind?"

Gawain casually slapped this guy on the top of the head, looked up at the light-lit base of the towering tower in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "It looks like we are going in the right direction."

Further ahead, except for increasingly dense and bright lights, there is still nothing threatening in the ruins. The group of three slowly accelerated their pace and came to the last section of the road around the base. As they keep getting closer to the tower body, the building facilities around them have become denser than before. There are many large and small alloy structures like pillars standing on nearby platforms, pointing straight into the sky in the dark. Between the pillars, there are various alloy thin beams connected to each other, and they are woven together to form a complex three-dimensional structure. There are also some dome-like curved sheets covering the top of some of the three-dimensional structures. In the night, these towering pillars and Connecting the night sky that cuts the Arctic together, faintly reveals a certain kind of civilization of the Voyager... "architectural art".

"It's so beautiful..." Amber couldn't help but raise his head, looking at the things that look like large-scale urban sculptures-in such an industrial center, they certainly have more important functions than urban sculptures, but those functions have been annihilated for a long time. In the history of, what they can present to future generations is only the amazing architectural skills and unique aesthetic style. "I thought that the sailors would only build cold machines or powerful weapons. Fighting race, do they also understand art and aesthetics..."

"Don't be guided by prejudice," Gao Wen reminded at the right time, "The set sail is also a smart civilization, and as long as it is a smart civilization, they will always develop their own art and aesthetics, even if the aesthetic standards of different civilizations may be different. The difference. Like these pillars here, they..."

Gao Wen raised his head and said, but he stopped in the middle of speaking. His gaze suddenly became serious, his gaze swept across the pillars and the connecting structure quickly, and then he lowered his head, just looking at Amber. Serious eyes coming over.

"Looking familiar!" the two said almost in unison.

Modil, who was next to him, was a little confused for an instant, and subconsciously said: "Huh? Why? Have you seen something similar?"

As soon as the old mage's voice fell, Gawain and Amber turned their gazes on him at the same time. Modilton was startled by the gaze, and subconsciously wanted to ask questions, but was confused by the extremely solemn expressions of the two in front of him. He didn't know whether he should speak, so he spread out his hands blankly.

And Gawain and Amber had already confirmed one thing in this brief eye contact and confirmation of memories.

Their "eye familiarity" is correct. They have seen things similar to these pillars and connecting structures here not long ago, and all of them are related to Modil—the shadows and dust that Amber took from Modil. The "stage" presented is the mysterious place where the old mage and the two suspected elven twins met in the dust illusion!

There are also pillars and vaults similar to here!

"The style is more than 90% similar, but it's not the same place," Gao Wen quickly compared his memory in his mind, then raised his head and glanced at the scene in front of him. He was very sure and spoke quickly to Amber." It should be the remains of the sailor in another place."

"Are you sure?" Kohaku couldn't help confirming, "The scenes shown in the sand illusions were not clear at the time, and there are many details between these pillars that are hard to remember, or I will..."

While talking, she raised her hand and was about to summon the shadows and dust again for confirmation, but she stopped the impulse just halfway through the action, and shook her head cautiously: "No, this place is weird. What unpredictable changes will be caused..."

Gao Wen just saw Amber’s actions and wanted to stop him, but he didn’t expect that this guy who usually looks carefree would be so cautious and careful at this moment. He also felt that this was a matter of course—obviously from the depths of his soul. Counseling played a role.

"No need to confirm, I have confidence in my memory," he said, and wrote down the incident temporarily, "go on, this place makes me feel more and more interesting."

As he said, he turned his head to look at Modil: "You always pay attention to whether there is any changes in your body. If you see or hear anything abnormal, please tell me as soon as possible."

"I try my best," Modil nodded helplessly. He followed in Gawain's footsteps and said as he walked. "But in many cases, if the spirit is contaminated, it is difficult for the contaminated person to realize himself in the first place. There is something weird about what I hear and see..."

"Then you take this," Gawain said as he squeezed something into Modil's hand, "but don't look at it frequently, just keep it by your side."

Modil took the thing that Gawainsai came over, and when he glanced at it, he found that it was a talisman not as big as a palm. The surface of the talisman had complicated and wonderful lines. He only glanced at the talisman and felt something The inspiring and high-spirited power flowed into his heart, but the instinct accumulated over the years of adventure made him not indulge in this positive spiritual influence, but was immediately vigilant: "What is this? It seems to affect my spirit..."

"Portable array of divine protection runes, a gift from the sea—standard equipment for the staff of the Theocracy Council's'contact level' and above," Gao Wen explained casually, "the concepts behind these specific terms will be explained for a while. If you can’t tell it clearly, you can simply understand that this is an item specifically used to combat mental pollution. But the so-called fighting poison with poison, its own protection principle is actually a kind of mental pollution, although for ordinary people this kind of spiritual pollution 'Pollution' has only positive effects, and its negative effects can be ignored as long as you make a slight adjustment. However, your situation is special and your resistance to mental pollution may be much lower than that of ordinary people, so I have only given you this thing until now. And you better not let this talisman appear in your sight too often..."

"I understand," Modil said as he carefully put away the "gift of the deep sea", at the same time he couldn't help muttering, "mental pollution...no wonder, I looked at this thing just now, there was something The urge to turn around and jump into the sea!"
