Sword of Daybreaker

Hearing what Milmina said, Gawain's unspeakable weird feeling suddenly came to his mind, but after thinking about the other party's words, there was no typo, so he could only hold his head. The cold sweat continued to maintain the unchanging appearance, and at the same time focused his attention on the "experimental field" opened up in the shadow world.

"By the way, the experimental facilities you built here look pretty...sentimental." Looking at the neatly arranged platforms and the large number of magic devices in operation, Gawain casually commented, "I heard that before. Now you are making some things in the rebellious courtyard, but you did not expect you to make these so quickly..."

"This is my dream for many years... "Dream"," Milmina seemed to let out a self-deprecating hum, "Sounds weird? It was originally a **** who should respond to the wishes of mortals, but she has had many years of experience. The unfulfilled wish-a laboratory to explore the truth and mystery, to satisfy my curiosity, this is something I have wanted to do for thousands of years but couldn't do it."

"... The driving force for the advancement of magic and mystery is essentially the exploration of the unknown and the mastery of the laws of nature. The goddess of magic created by the magicians may be the most curious and exploratory gods in the world... But from another point of view On the one hand, the gods in the annoying mind should be omniscient and omnipotent. As the master of the mystery, you can’t have things you don’t know, and you can’t step into the unknown..." Gao Wen sighed softly, shaking his hair and sighed, "If not Get out of trouble in time, I'm afraid you are the easiest to lose control of all the gods."

Milmina seemed to smile, even though her face was hidden by the smoke-like "gauze", but that moment of bright and gentle smile came out from the corner of her eyes. She did not answer Gao Wen's sigh. He just turned his head and glanced at the huge golden oak tree in the center of the courtyard and the giant white deer who was chatting quietly with two flowers on his head under the oak tree. After a while, he slowly said: "When I see Amone build this garden , I remembered my wish for many years, I felt that I should also do something, instead of doing nothing everyday, really be a'retired god'.

"But then again... I really didn't expect that the council would approve my construction application so easily. I thought it would be a very sensitive issue-after all, this is not a caregiver, my laboratory There is still a certain degree of danger."

"You and Amoen are not prisoners here. Of course, the council is not the jailer who takes care of you. In my opinion, you are just like us, all struggling beings in this world," Gao Wen smiled and shook. Shaking his head, "And to be honest, you are the **** of the past after all. This is your wish for thousands of years. Even if the council does not approve your application, will you really give up?"

"Yes." Milmina said flatly but without hesitation.

This answer finally made Gawain's eyes widened: "...really?"

"Seriously," Milmina said calmly, "I promised you to become a member of the council as a mortal, and I signed a contract with the council under the name'Milmina'. Although Now I am no longer bound by the laws of the gods, but I still don’t intend to break the vows. In my view, Amorn and I, to leave the altar completely, the least we should do is not to do things that are superior to mortals. thing."

Gao Wen couldn't help taking a deep look at the huge lady in front of him, but he didn't say anything, he just retracted his gaze after a few seconds, and looked at the experimental platform that was shaped by Mirmina himself. ——He saw the "sample" he was looking for.

It was a captured aberration, placed in the center of a large platform, surrounded by an array of unusually complex runes, confined in a semi-transparent magical field, and several gleaming, The translucent pillars completely condensed from arcane brilliance floated about two to three meters above the platform, and the top of the beam of light extended from the illusory chain, and a second blockade was intertwined vertically and horizontally around the magic field.

For a miscellaneous warrior-level monster, these blockades imposed by the goddess of magic can be regarded as the top treatment, so that Gawain couldn't help but blurted out when he saw those powerful blocking spells: "Just to imprison a miscellaneous soldier-level monster, you are like this... Is this aberration a violation of the rules of heaven?"

"What does Tiantiao mean?" Milmina was taken aback by the wonderful phrase that Gawain had popped out, but she was also here for a while, and now how many pairs of "Gawain Cecil the Great" popped out occasionally "I have a certain habit, so I quickly ignored this doubt and explained casually, "These blockades are not just to prevent the distortion from escaping-in fact, even without any additional means of sealing, this monster can't escape. Out of my platform. The barriers and seals you see are mainly to maintain... the environment."

"Maintain the environment?" Gao Wen stunned for a moment, and then finally noticed the faint lavender "haze" in the translucent magic field, and the dark flakes between the runes on the surface of the experimental platform that seemed to be solidified light. Structure, "Wait, this is... You simulated the environment in the Gondor Wasteland?!"

"This is not difficult. The'pollution' of the Gondor Wasteland is essentially the result of the interaction between the uncontrolled dark blue magic and the elements that erode the material world. It is easy for me to create similar'pollution', the real difficulty. It lies in how to make this polluted environment sufficiently'precise' and'stable'," Milmina nodded and explained in a rather relaxed tone, "This...the deformed body you caught on the front line, its state is very unstable. After being separated from the group, it has been constantly weakening and deteriorating. Until I put it in this simulated environment, its material structure has stabilized a little..."

Listening to Milmina’s explanation next to him, Gawain thought while looking at the "sample" in the center of the seal-the terrifying creature that looked like a little giant compared to ordinary humans was right now. Licking his body, staying in the center of the force field with his limbs on the ground, the filthy black and red "mud" flows on its surface, and the face without facial features expands and shrinks in the magical environment, and a deep whisper is constantly coming from its body. Sounds, but that murmur obviously has nothing to do with spirituality. It sounds chaotic and disgusting, but it is just the "noise" released by the chaotic creature instinctively in front of him.

But apart from making these "noises", the distortion in the force field did nothing else. Even if Gawain and Amber had reached the edge of the platform, the monster just remained motionless and stayed in place.

"This looks different from the aberration I dealt with last time," Humber couldn't help but recall his experience of dealing with the aberration. "The one I met last time is more grumpy than this. Rushed up..."

"If Amoen and I weren't here, it would also be so irritable," Milmina said. "It's funny. This deformed creature doesn't have any wisdom, but it can still feel fear and The perception of certain breaths is keen and precise-it is fearing the power of me and Ammon. Of course, if it is the aberrations with controllers on the battlefield, it may be different, but this one... it is acting on instinct. ."

"Fear..." Gawain muttered softly, pressing his hand on the translucent magic barrier, "Perhaps for this creature, fear is not an emotion, but just an instinct..."

A soft gleam approached at this moment, and Veronica, holding a platinum scepter, came to Gao Wen's side. The ancient rebel leader watched the monster quietly and whispered: "I have been there for so many years. Dealing with these things... in the depths of the wasteland, they are everywhere, but recently they have been summoned elsewhere..."

"...I remember that the generation of the deformed body can be traced back to the'God's evil' project in the rebellious plan," Amber gave the saint princess subconsciously. "The disobedient extracted the original'God's blood from Amone. ', and then combined with human cells to form the'God Sin Factor'. You originally hoped to survive the demonic wave by transforming humans into'God Sin', but after the demonic wave, God Sin was out of control and mutated into an aberration... , In a sense, these aberrations are actually'Gondor people', do you feel weird looking at it?"

Amber’s words sounded a bit unpleasant, but Veronica knew this half-elf. She knew that this guy would not be malicious, so she just shook her head: "...No, this is not a citizen of the empire, this is just a member of the empire. The flesh and blood husks that grew out of the corpses of citizens, the “God evil” plan of the year failed, and we should accept this failure calmly... As for the current “aberrations”, I am more concerned about their most fundamental weaknesses and the nature of their existence. ."

"Yes, the essence of existence, I am also very curious about this," Milmina nodded, "This kind of creature will begin to degenerate and deteriorate after leaving the environment, and even dissipate out of thin air, but they will gather to a certain extent. It causes the environment to "wasteland", creating an energy environment similar to the Gondor Wasteland around it, and then grows out of thin air...In my opinion, this is completely beyond what you mentioned that the "God Sin" may have Nature, even... doesn't seem to be a'creature' living in the material world anymore, don't you think so?"

Milmina’s words made Gawain and Veronica instantly wake up from the feelings about the ancient rebellious plan and the "God Evil" project, and turned their attention to this very important thing, but it hasn’t been there for hundreds of years. People can study and understand "abnormal phenomena".

The "deterioration" and "intensification" of aberrations, and the weird characteristics of their "growth out of thin air".

"...After the second development, all nations of mankind still cherish the hope of regaining their hometowns from the counter-offensive wasteland. At that time, our scholars did a lot of research on these monsters, and they successfully captured and controlled this kind of'living samples in a short time. '," Gao Wen recalled as he said, "Our experimental conditions were limited back then. Scholars could only use very crude methods to test the characteristics of these monsters. Most of these tests were fruitless, but scholars still gradually formed a The consensus, that is between the Distortion Body and the Gondor Wasteland... It seems that there is some kind of'unity', or some kind of'connection'..."

"Aberrations are an extension of the wasteland of Gondor, the cells of that magical contaminated land. These monsters wander outside the magnificent wall, like the'blood of the wasteland' flowing in a civilized country," Veronica Said, "I know these studies and the corresponding conclusions. Over the years, I have done as much research as possible in the Wasteland Center, but the progress has stopped here... Maybe our understanding of the world is still limited, or maybe We have not found a suitable method of observation. We can't explain how these monsters'grow out of thin air'..."

Amber looked at Gawain, then at Veronica, lowered his head for a moment, and then interrupted and said, “Don’t say anything else, there seems to be a problem with their'growth out of thin air' itself. If these monsters can really waste Infinitely growing in the soil environment, isn’t the Gondor’s wasteland already full of distortions in the past so many years? The magnificent wall collapsed and we’ve long been washed out-but now it seems that they are not so infinite. Endless', the main force will retreat temporarily if it is beaten, and if a battle line is cut open, its strength will still be tight..."

"Yes, this is the truth," Gawain nodded, and rarely agreed directly with Amber's view. "Although the aberrations have been described by bards and playwrights as'endless', if they are really Can continue to multiply in the wasteland environment, then this war has been fought until the mortal kingdom has long been unable to stop it. The real fact is that there are still large expanses of open space in the wasteland, although there are many distortions wandering in it , And not to an infinite degree, it still takes time for those dark priests to convene an army.

"So there is either an upper limit for the ‘growth out of thin air’ of aberrations, or... then it’s not a real ‘proliferation’, but some kind of...

Gawain stopped in the middle of speaking, carefully considering more accurate words, but Veronica on the side said for him what he wanted to say: "Maybe it's a kind of'transport', or it may be just a kind of high speed. 'Regeneration'."

"You mean, after the land outside the Majestic Wall was contaminated, the aberrations that'appeared' out of thin air from the polluted aura were actually'transmitted' from the depths of the wasteland?" Amber's eyes widened when she heard this. , "Do they have spatial transmission technology?"

"That's not called technology, maybe it's just a kind of innate power, it belongs to the talent of'god evil'," Gawain corrected Humber's statement, "and'teleport' is just a hypothesis, after all, we have never seen the deformed body from In the process of transmitting from one place to another, the various detection and induction devices on the battlefield did not detect large-scale energy transfer or manifestation."

Gao Wen and others discussed the possible principles behind the weird characteristics of the deformed body. At first, Milmina was just quietly listening in and thinking about it. After a while, she suddenly said: "Do you want to hear my opinion? ?"

"Of course," Veronica said immediately, nodding, "The view from the'source of all laws'-this is certainly worthy of reference."

"...These days, I have been paying attention to the information about the wasteland of Gondor. I want to come to the data collected by the frontline troops near the wasteland. I have to get a lot of contaminated material samples, and now there is a living one. Aberrations, through studying them, I began to doubt one thing..." Milmina said, her eyes fell on Gawain, "Do you remember the'Unified Wave Conjecture' that we discussed together?"

"Of course," Gao Wen nodded immediately, "but what does this have to do with the wasteland?"

"The essence of everything in the world is fluctuation, and the boundary between matter and non-material is variable. At a certain microscopic interval or'threshold', the'substantial wave domain' and the non-material'virtuality' where matter is located The body wave domain'exists the possibility of mutual transformation, or even complete integration..." Milmina said slowly, and the conjecture she raised gradually made Gawain's eyes widened, "then is there such a possibility-at the beginning A big explosion in the Deep Blue Well turned the entire Gondor wasteland into a macroscopic "chaotic wave domain", and the aberrations have the characteristic of transforming between the physical and the intangible, and they have always been on the edge of the physical world. Wandering, this may explain some phenomena..."
