Sword of Daybreaker

In the center of the rebellious courtyard shrouded in chaos and darkness, a huge golden oak tree stands upright like a small castle. The faint glow lingering around the golden oak tree dispels the surrounding darkness, and the magnificent tree crown is like a sky shimmering. A piece of "paradise" with light and vitality has been created in the depths of this shadow world, and within this paradise, around the oak trees, the vigorous seedlings have gradually become large-scale, and various plants are thriving on the fragmented land. , And extended to a place close to the gate of the rebellious fortress.

Even the criss-crossing ravines and rift valleys on the ground that seem to be very dangerous are now covered by vines and strong wooden bridges, turning them into a thoroughfare that can travel at will.

Gawain stood in front of the golden oak tree, looking up at the plant in front of him with a bit of astonishment. It didn't look like a plant that grew naturally. After a long while, he turned his head and looked at the holy giant deer beside him. After he was completely free, Amoen I have shrunk my body a lot, but for mortals it is still a huge body: "...So this is the'small courtyard beautification' project you mentioned in the report? You planted another one here. A giant tree of reincarnation?"

"No, this is just a tree, a tree that allows me to rest," Amoon said warmly, seemingly proud, "I have been thinking about what I should do after being'freed' for this period of time, some... After thinking about things that belonged to me a lot, I found that I still like to play with flowers, plants, and seedlings. This has nothing to do with the'clergy' that once restrained me, but a real preference."

Looking at the holy giant deer with a calm and calm look in the eyes in front of him, Gao Wen couldn't help asking: "Stop playing cards?"

Amone's eyes lit up suddenly: "Hit, now?"

Gao Wen: "..."

After a moment of embarrassment, Gao Wen coughed and changed the subject: "Ah, I just mentioned it casually... I have business today."

He raised his head and looked at the giant deer standing under the golden oak tree, and not far away, Milmina’s figure was sitting on the ground leaning on the thick trunk of the golden oak tree, and the air around him was surrounded by a lot of constant The changing runes and numbers, as well as the fading geometric figures, she seems to be closing her eyes and resting her mind, but after sensing Gaowen's sight, she lifted her eyelids slightly and nodded towards this side. Then he showed a curious look.

"We have just completed our exploration in the deep sea," Gawain made his expression serious after he settled down, and said in a deep voice, "We boarded a spacecraft left by the sailor and entered the depths of the kingdom of gods. ."

"Mirmina and I heard about this," Amone lowered his head slightly, and his tone became serious. "What did you find?"

"We discovered the secret of the sentinel," Gao Wen said straightforwardly, and then his eyes swept twice between the two retired gods in front of him, "and your former kingdom of God."

The radiance surrounding Amone shrank in a visible range, and Milmina, who was not far away looking sideways and curiously listening in, also instantly propped up her body, her eyes shrouded in the magic mist widened slightly. , A short and questioning whisper came into Gao Wen and Humber's ears: "Huh?!"

"What we discovered during this trip will be far beyond your imagination, but before that, there is another more urgent thing to say." Gawain waved his hand and motioned to the several royal mages who followed him to come forward. At this time, Amo En's attention was focused on the "entourage" who came with Gao Wen. He saw that the human wizards were carefully holding a large-scale ice crystal cube with their plastic hands, crystal clear. Inside the cube, something seems to be freezing.

"This is..." Amoen vaguely sensed a familiar breath from the depths of the ice crystal, but couldn't guess where the vines and flowers were frozen.

"This is the real Sister Ferna and Leerna. We found the body of the'Sentinel' in the deepest part of the deep sea. It was a sailor facility, an unusually large'homeport', and the main body of your kingdom of God 'The giant tree of reincarnation'...just died on one of the ports of that home port," Gao Wen signaled to the wizards to release the magical power filled in the ice crystals, and at the same time explained the origin of this thing to Amoen, "just like we were worried before. Like that, the "elven twins" currently active in the wasteland are fake, and their real face is the artificial mind "sentinel" of the sailor's homeport, and the real elven twins have been trapped in that seat for the past thousand years. In the home port, and lived for hundreds of years under the protection of the remnants of the giant tree of reincarnation..."

Gawain used the simple and appropriate way possible to tell his experience in that sentinel's homeport. Amone listened to this incredible story quietly, even if it was him, his eyes widened slightly at this time, and At the same time, several mages finally joined forces to lift Victoria’s magical restriction left in the Frozen Cube. The surface of the ice crystals, which looked so hard and did not melt at all along the way, seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist. Within a few seconds, the entire block of ice quickly melted and dissipated, while the vines enclosed in the ice were lifted by invisible magic and slowly fell onto the grass around the golden oak trees.

"...This is what Sister Ferna turned into in the end," Gawain also briefly finished the story that happened to the elven twins. He pointed to the vines on the ground and the flower of the stalk, "I am in the giant tree of reincarnation. I heard a voice in the ruins, although no one else heard it, but I think it is indeed a message sent to me by the giant tree of reincarnation. It asked me to take Sister Ferna away, so I brought it to you."

Amber looked up at Ammon who seemed to be in a daze next to him: "Do you know what to do with this? They look like this now..."

"I know." Before Amber finished speaking, Amone spoke softly. He dropped his head slightly, and the pair of antlers with crystal-like edges gently touched the flower vines on the ground.

In the next second, a bit of verdant radiance spread, and the flower vine floated lightly and wrapped around Amoen's antlers little by little! After another moment, the leaves and twigs on the vine seemed to have absorbed nutrients, and they began to stretch and extend to their fullest. The two small pink and white flowers on the top of the flower vine also quickly became energetic. They lightly attached to the top of the antlers, and followed Ammon. Lifted his head and shook it gently.

Amone squinted his eyes at the moment. He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to a voice coming from a distance. After a long time, he nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. .

Seriously, Gawain himself couldn't figure out how he could see the "smile" from a deer face.

"I know, I know," Amone said softly. He slowly sat down under the golden oak tree, nodding his head while responding in a low voice, "It's really not easy for such a long time, it doesn't matter. You guys have a good rest... Me? Ah, it’s okay, I don’t mind, I always knew about this plan, inside the fortress of disobedience, yes, I’m here, in a sense, I’m the earliest participant in this plan, although It is something that has been researched...that can't be helped, no one is to blame, you are just doing what is correct and the only thing you can do, just like I did back then..."

Amorne said softly, and it took a long time to finally come to an end. His eyes returned to Gawain, who finally found the opportunity to speak with Gawain without concealing the surprised look on his face: "Who were you talking to just now? Talking? Could it be that Ferna and Lena..."

"It's them, you can't hear their voices, but they are still there," Amone said slowly, "Thank you for bringing them back."

Gawain was surprised to hear the unexpected news, and the expression in his eyes slowly rose to a trace of relief. He couldn't help but laughed: "I didn't expect that anyway, this is really good news. Then they can hear it. What about me?"

"I can convey it to you," Amone lowered his head and said, "but their souls are weak now, and they can't maintain the'talk' for too long."

"Don't worry, I just want you to convey my gratitude," Gao Wen said solemnly, "Thank them for me. The world has not really been safe yet, but we have survived many crises, and they left it to The world’s information will be the key to make this world cross the next disaster, but now they can rest, and the follow-up will be done by the successor."

Amone nodded and talked softly with the flower vine entwined around his antlers. After a while, the dim light on his antlers gradually dimmed, and the "god of nature" exhaled and turned his eyes to Gawain. : "They also expressed their gratitude to you, now they go to rest."

"Now we can discuss the crisis in the wasteland," Gao Wen nodded lightly, and looked up at the "magic goddess" sitting not far away. "Ms. Mirmina, I have something to make Take a look."

While talking, he signaled that Amber had activated the magic terminal he carried with him. As the projection crystal on the terminal was lit, a clear holographic projection immediately appeared in front of Amone and Milmina, a structure that was extremely complex, The cube rune device wrapped in layers rotates in the center of the holographic projection, and around this device are several "rune plates" that have been disassembled and displayed, and a large number of intricate energy flow indicators make these decomposition structure diagrams. It looks dizzying, but it also marked all the secrets that the scholars of Cecil, Typhon, and the Silver Empire have found in this mysterious cube.

Compared with the paper report that Gawain saw from Heidi, this holographic projection presents a more complete and professional technical information. It is like a book to Amber, but it is not the same as the one that Zeng "in charge of everything." "For Milmina, who knows all the runes and the mysteries of magic flow in the world, and has recently made a huge breakthrough in the understanding of the essence of magic, the information revealed in this information is extraordinary.

"This is..." Milmina leaned over immediately. Due to the huge difference in body shape, she almost pressed down like a dark cloud when she leaned in front of Amber, and pure energy throbbed in her eyes. Arcane Spark, "Where did this thing come from?"

"The Sea-Monsters captured several such devices in the Deep Blue Net. They moved fast in the energy flow, and there seemed to be a lot of them," Gawain nodded and said, "We suspect this thing is related to the cultists in the Gondor Wasteland. In fact, I can almost be sure that this thing was made by the'sentinel' disguised as elven twins and directed the cultists to create and throw them into the deep blue net. Now no one knows what these cubes are for, but I think if it was you... Maybe it can give us some guidance."

"...Is it captured from the deep blue net... In this case, some of the structures in these rune arrays can make sense," Milmina said with thought in her tone, and said in a low voice, "Frankly speaking , There are some things in it that I don’t quite understand. It’s not a technology created by mortal civilization this season, so it’s beyond my cognition, but I can feel...the pure magic will be in these rune arrays. Under the guidance of a specific change. This thing may be..."

Her voice paused for a while, as if she was doing careful thinking and judgment. It took a long time to speak uncertainly: "Perhaps it is some kind of control device, if there are enough of them, and they are accurately thrown into some of the deep blue nets. Within certain nodes, they may even affect the internal power cycle of the entire planet...I guess."

Milmina’s words are very cautious. Obviously, the “starter component” contained in this cube is far beyond this era, so that even the goddess of magic, who claims to be “in charge of all laws”, dare not jump to conclusions. Can guess the role of this cube by "feeling", but the judgment she made is still crucial and sufficient to cause Gawain to think further.

Amber on the side couldn't help but ask: "If the sentinels and the cultists control the deep blue network...what will happen?"

"Anything can happen, and absolutely nothing is a good thing," Milmina said solemnly. "The deep blue network is a'power system' that runs through the entire planet, and it is more than a power system such as ocean currents and atmosphere. Powerful, more extreme, and more threatening. If they really control the operation of the Deep Blue Network, then they may be able to create terrifying natural disasters at any point on this planet with a wave of their hands, tearing apart the elemental world and the material world. Limits, open the door to the shadow world, and even... if these control devices are more effective, they can do more terrifying things."

"This is not terrible enough?! What is terrible? Directly blow up the entire planet?" Amber suddenly widened his eyes, "Then, don't we have no hope at all?!"

"No, the situation is not so bad," Milmina shook her head slightly, "I said if these cubes really have the kind of function I guessed, and the'sentinel' successfully completed it. One thing is certain about all the layouts, that is, the plan of the “sentinel” is far from complete. According to my analysis, these cubes should be fixed at specific nodes to smoothly react with the energy flow in the dark blue network channel, and They need to cooperate with each other to form a complete network to affect the large-scale'planetary power system' like the Deep Blue Gateway. According to the intelligence mentioned by Gao Wen... these things are still transferring in the energy flow, and the Kraken has At least a few of the cubes were destroyed, so I think the situation is not at its worst."

"But the situation may get worse at any time," Gawain said in a deep voice, looking up into Milmina's eyes. "Can we destroy this control system?"

"...I will think of a way," Milmina said uncertainly, "but rather than destroying this control system, completely solving the cultists in the wasteland and the "sentinels" behind them is truly done once and for all. means."
