Sword of Daybreaker

   Gao Wen and Amber looked at each other.

Carmel on the side let out a sigh, breaking the silence in the room: "Their warning has finally been delivered... But I don’t know how, as a mortal, facing the'sentinel' left by the sailor, it can be regarded as Ready..."

Gao Wen did not respond. He just lowered his eyelids slightly, gathered and summarized all the clues he had obtained so far in his head, tracing the sequence of all events and the information revealed behind them, speculating on the possible purpose of the sentry and "it". The means to achieve these ends, thinking about the sentinel’s weaknesses and the trump cards that mortals can use, and during his contemplation, Amber’s whispered whisper came from the side: “So just as we guessed, in the real world The pair of elven twins that were active here were indeed replaced... It's just that it was not an indescribable **** who replaced them, but an ancient mind that was used to monitor the gods...?"

  She really can't think of any other words to describe the sentinel who has escaped from this "homeport", so she can only call it "ancient mind".

Amber’s whispered whisper reached Gawain’s ears, but a flash of light was instantly ignited in the latter’s heart. Gawain suddenly realized a somewhat suspicious question: "...Yes, it’s the elven twins who are active outside... The message that Ferna and Leerna stayed here, the sentry only copied one of them and left here with it as a carrier... The sentry who entered the present world has successfully escaped, why do you need to create an additional one? The individual came out? Just to restore the setting of the'Elf Gemini'?"

"...This is illogical," Carmel said in a deep voice. "It was witnessed alone when it entered the present world. My colleagues had already made the judgment that one of the twins has died in an accident. In this case, the sentry no longer needs to do additional actions. It can follow this judgment as one of Lena and Ferna to lurch and create an additional individual. At the time, it seemed that it could only increase the rebels. Our attention to it increased the possibility of exposure... although it was not exposed in the end and successfully lurked."

"So it must have other reasons for it to have to create an extra'body', even at the risk of taking extra attention..." Gawain frowned and said as he thought about it, "Why does it have to do this? Do...because of the "obsession" that was accidentally left when copying the elven twins? This is unlikely...or is it because it requires "hands"? Or..."

He stopped, his expression became serious, and his voice said in a low voice: "Or...a single body can't bear its mind, and it didn't realize this until it entered the world, so it had to make an extra container for itself urgently. …"

   "This may be a weakness of it," Carmel said immediately, "...but how do we take advantage of this weakness? Should it overload its mind?"

Amber blinked, looked at Gawain and then at Carmel, and suddenly said: "Actually...the'sentinel' now uses two mortal bodies, right? Regardless of the'homeport' and the'homeport' where it stays here. How powerful is that spaceship? The'container' it uses now is the body of two elves. Will it be done by directly solving the two elves?"

Gawain immediately turned his head and glanced at Amber, and after two seconds he said thoughtfully, "It's true... what you said makes sense, but what I worry about is... destroying those two containers can really eliminate the sentry. Huh?"

"We may'release' it and make things completely out of control," Carmel said on the side. "Since it can'inject' its mind into a body, it means that this mind can be transferred. , And can even survive for a certain period of time. The messages left by Leierna and Ferna did not mention the specific methods of the sentinel’s transfer and infusion of mind. We must assume that it can come under any circumstances without any external force. Go through this process..."

"Of course, even so, we have to include the'destruction of the two containers of the sentry' in the plan, and I am afraid it is the only feasible plan we can think of at the moment," Gawain said with a serious expression, "maybe destroy those two The container can only exile the sentry from our world for a short time, but at least it has bought us some time... Moreover, even this solution is not so easy to implement."

"The sentry knows how fragile his current container is, so he will definitely protect himself carefully, even if it temporarily resides in a mortal body, it has knowledge and experience far beyond our understanding and a big plan that no one knows," Kamai Er nodded and said, "The cultists in the Wasteland and the dangerous environment of the Wasteland itself are probably just its first barrier."

Then there was a brief silence in the room, and Amber was also in a rare long period of contemplation. After a long time, she slowly raised her head, looked at the words on the wooden wall, and couldn't help asking: "You said... Why didn't the sentry capture and copy Ferna and Lerna sisters? Why didn't they kill them? It left them here to fend for themselves without doing anything... Was it because they were too anxious to leave here? Or because Don't you think that two'fragile mortals' staying here will do you any harm?"

"Sister Ferna obviously couldn't figure out this problem herself," Gawain looked at the message on the wooden wall and said slowly, "but I don't think the reason will be the carelessness of the sentinel...it has been observing the world for a long time. It has reached 1.8 million years, and it is directly observing the ideological field of mortals. It knows best the infinite possibilities of mortals and the least tolerant of variables... But as the words left by Sister Ferna said, now we will investigate this The question has no meaning."

He shook his head, turned away from the inscribed wooden wall, and slowly walked to the column in the center of the room, watching the vines entwined on the column and the two pink-white flowers. The voice of amber came from behind him. "...Is this what the sisters Ferna and Lena became? Will the elves become like this after they die? Why haven't I heard of..."

  "Elves are also mortals, and they should be returned to dust after death, at least under normal circumstances," Kamel also floated from behind, he looked at the small flower that grew together with a strange tone, "but..."

"But this is a giant tree of reincarnation," Gawain said, searching for many myths and legends about elves in his memory, searching for theological explanations corresponding to the situation in front of him. In other words, in the ancient druid teachings of the elves, the magical power of the great deer Amone protects the souls of all the far-traveling elves. When they sleep in a distant foreign country, Amone will receive the souls of the far-travelers. The hometown is turned into a seedling under the shadow of the giant tree of reincarnation, and a dream of eternity and tranquility is obtained."

"But this is a story three thousand years ago. The Druid Church has been disintegrated for more than three thousand years. Everything about the giant tree of reincarnation and the **** of nature has been turned into a phantom legend. We know this better than anyone else." Er said slowly beside.

"Yes, it should be so..." Gao Wen looked out the window. Between the panes made of simple wooden slats, he could see the magnificent and desolate plant remains not far away, and the withered and collapsed crown of the giant tree of reincarnation. , As well as the shrubs and flowers that grow stubbornly among those dry branches, he looked at all of this as if he was watching a myth that ended three thousand years, "but...this place is still a giant tree of reincarnation."

"Perhaps the power remaining after the death of this tree caused this change," Carmel nodded and said, "...but compared to the reason for the change in the elven twins, another fact they revealed may be more disturbing. ."

   "Another fact?" Amber didn't react at once, "What do you mean?"

Gawain had already reacted when Kamel's voice fell. He curled his fingers against his chin, and the originally ambiguous timeline was showing clear nodes in his mind a little bit: "Amber, you still Remember, according to our judgment, the "things" in the Tower of Upsurge should have escaped from the blockade through the deep blue rift about 600 years ago...maybe later than that, but never earlier than that point in time."

   "Ah, of course I remember," Amber nodded suddenly, "because Modil entered the tower for the first time almost 600 years ago, and the pollution source in the tower was still there when he entered."

"Yes, until six hundred years ago, the body of the inverse tide was still trapped in the tower," Gawain nodded. He stared at the flower vine transformed by the elven twins with a low voice, "but Sister Ferna was trapped. Here... it was a thousand years ago, and it was already polluted at that time."

  Huo finally realized the most disturbing point behind this incident, and his eyes slowly stared: "...Ma Ye..."

"Therefore, the time point of the counter-tide pollution leak has to be pushed forward. Long before its body got out of trouble, its pollution had already spread among the legacy of the sailor, and not only should this point of time be pushed forward... its There are also new possibilities for pollution," said Carmel. "When the body is trapped in the tower, it can still leak its power here, and even pollute the entire'homeport', and in the process It completely bypassed the guard and protection system left by the sailor, and also concealed the dragon and dragon **** Enya who monitored the tower..."

  Listening to these disturbing facts described by Carmel, Amber subconsciously hugged his arms: "The more you hear it, the more scary..."

"It's really disturbing, but we can also sum up an obvious rule, or'restriction,' from it," Carmel nodded and said, "Although the pollution spread in the reverse tide is alarming, it is only in the wake of the sailors. "Infection" between heritages At least until today, we have no obvious evidence to show that the power of the reverse tide has spread in the mortal world. I guess this may be related to the "birth basis" of the reverse tide, which originated from the ancient reverse tide. The empire’s worship of the sailor’s heritage, in a sense, the reverse tide is actually a relic of the sailor after mutation, so it can easily spread between its homologous “relics”, but if it wants to pollute other For example, a mortal like Modil will have difficulties. Not only does it require the power of the body, it may even be dispelled by an'Ability God' like Enya... at least part of it."

"Is the most powerful relic of the sailor the easiest to break? It sounds like a special disease specifically for the relic of the sailor..." Amber couldn't help muttering, and then halfway through the mutter, he suddenly found Gao Wen's. His face looked a little weird, and he immediately asked with concern, "Hey, what's the matter with you? Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

   "...I think of something worthy of seriousness," Gawain couldn't help but shake his mouth, and said casually, "It's just that the pollution from the tide is more difficult than expected..."

"Is it because of this?" Amber's eyes were a little suspicious, but he quickly ignored this doubt. "Indeed, I can't think of how to deal with this thing now... In fact, we can't even find the body of the tide. Where, even though there is a clue like Lady Ye's Kingdom of God, where is that Kingdom of God..."

   Amber whispered, and just halfway through her words, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cabin, and two figures appeared in the sight of Gao Wen and others.

  It was Modil who was in a state of confusion just now, and the Duchess Victoria who was helping Modil to walk in.

   "Modil," Gawain thought of the messages left by the elves, which made him subconsciously observe the mental state of the old mage, "have you eased up? Now it feels..."

"Your Majesty," Modil said, his voice still sounded weak, but his eyes seemed to be more sober and calmer than ever before. He raised his head and looked around the simple wooden house that is not spacious, his eyes are on Those daily utensils stayed on occasionally, and then continued to whisper after a while, "I remember something... My name is Modil Wilde, and I have been here before."

   Gao Wen was a little surprised: "You remembered your name?! Then you..."

"I only remember these things, Your Majesty," Modil showed a complicated smile, and he walked slowly into the room, his voice low and hesitant, "I remember my name, I remember I strayed into it a long time ago. Here, I remember that there was a pair of elf sisters who lived here. They helped me and told me a very, very important warning... about the ancient mind that is out of control here, an ancient mind called the'sentinel', which carries danger. His crazy obsessions have gone to the world of mortals...I only remember these, only these..."

  He walked in hesitantly, and Gawain immediately noticed the anomaly on the old mage

Following Modil's footsteps, the grayish-white dust like smoke is constantly rising beside him, but these dust will not fall on the ground, but rise up like a loss of gravity, and quickly in mid-air. dissipate!

  Amber, who is extremely sensitive to shadows and dust, opened his eyes wide: "Wow, old man, you are smoking!"

   "Your Majesty," Victoria said suddenly, and Gawain had never seen such a nervous and urgent look on the face of the Duchess, "My ancestor he... is not in good shape! May I ask Miss Amber if he has..."

   Before the duke's voice fell, Amber had already stepped towards the big adventurer who was "dissipating", and then slapped the old mage on the arm without hesitation.

  The sand dust that was constantly escaping from Modil was instantly controlled, stabilized a little bit, and returned to the old mage's body.

(Tweeting the book time, kindly recommend "What Can Casual Players Have Bad Eyes" from Fruity Meow, an online game novel based on the world view of Lingcang, a story about a god-level boss returning to the pit as a salted fish (really?), It is a subject that I rarely recommend in the past two years. Those who are interested in novels in this area can take a look.)
