Sword of Daybreaker

The first thousand and seventy-seventh chapter of the text of the sword of dawn, Gao Wen’s amazing guesses. Gao Wen’s sudden emergence of this sentence caused all of Amber’s thoughts to be broken in an instant. It is for her that she usually has an unrestrained brain and an unrestrained mind. With a down-to-earth and tough nerve, she really didn't expect that Gawain would come up with such a sentence after looking down for a long time, so she was stunned for nearly ten seconds before she stared and said, "What are you... Came out?"

"I know this is unimaginable. In fact, I don't believe it myself, but when this matter rises to the level of'suspected miraculous disaster' and it has something to do with the violet, then I always feel that even if it is a weird'speculation' There is also a certain probability," Gawain's thoughts surged in his mind, slowly speaking his own thoughts, "especially Modil was involved in this incident, and in that dense fog witnessed the shadow residents from the black flames. Stepping out in the middle... This means that this matter has been inseparable from Ms. Ye."

Amber frowned: "Indeed, everyone did not expect Violet to have any connection with Lady Ye, but the great adventurer was involved. The connection between him and Lady Ye is the biggest clue, but even if there is this On the first floor, you won't jump to the bizarre idea that'violet doesn't exist at all', right?"

"It is related to Ms. Ye, which means that our previous impressions of the Violet Kingdom based on mortal cognition may be problematic. We can use the greatest imagination to speculate what happened," Gawain touched his chin. Thoughtfulness seems to be muttering to himself, "Think about it carefully... Has any'product' of the Violet Kingdom been sent to Loren for a long time? I mean, in addition to the magical knowledge they spread to the outside world and the traveling wizards themselves, Violet Is there anything'exported' to the nations of the alliance, and is it visible or tangible?"

Amber slowly widened her eyes and opened her mouth a little bit: "..."

"We have established a preliminary trade relationship between Beigang and the border cities of the Violet Kingdom, but these trades have always been strictly restricted. When we export goods, the Violet Man provides "magic knowledge" or "mage". The apprenticeship training service is such an intangible commodity. The currency used for settlement between the two parties is also Cecil or Typhon currency. The Violet Man uses a set of strict exchange and circulation control methods to ensure that everything on that island is Will not be taken outside the island..."

Gawain continued to speak unhurriedly, as if he hadn't noticed Amber's increasingly surprised expression.

"We have always believed that this strict restriction is due to the closure of the Violet State Policy, and because their authorities hold an extremely conservative attitude towards'transnational trade', because it itself is a country with a long history of seclusion, and it is still governed by a master. The dominant mystery country, so many people interpret a large number of extremely unreasonable phenomena as "the weirdness of the mage country", but think about it... there are too many unexplainable parts here.

"You have to know that no matter how conservative the country, no matter how strict trade restrictions and border controls, it is impossible to be truly impervious. There will always be loopholes that can be drilled, and there will always be risks. People, there will always be people who want to break these restrictions and do some profitable business. The creativity and action that businessmen can explode in this regard is endless, but the past few years have passed, we have seen anything in the market "Violet souvenir"?

"Don't talk about the normal market, just from your intelligence channels, underground markets, smugglers, collectors in the gray area, has even one of them successfully obtained the'physical items' circulating from Violet Island?" "

Amber finally blinked. She instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Gao Wen's almost whimsical ideas, and immediately said: "Wait, that's not right, you just admitted that the Violet Kingdom will at least send out travel wizards to spread magic. Knowledge, aren’t these mages really “actual”? The clothes they wear, the supplies they bring, the books brought from Violet, aren’t these all the “articles” circulating from that island to Loren?"

"But these travel wizards will return to Violet collectively after a period of time, and everything they bring will eventually be brought back. At the beginning, there was a Violet mage serving as a royal advisor in Anzu, and they even took away all the magic books when they left. Only the transcripts made locally in Anzu are left... In fact, all the existing violet magic books are similar transcripts or photocopies, and all the extraordinary equipment that bears the name "Violet Magic Props" are also processed in the continent of Loren. of."

Gawain put his hands on the table and stared at Amber quietly: "There is no barrier without loopholes in the world, and if a barrier is really done for decades or even hundreds of years, nothing has been leaked. , That can only show that one thing is really empty inside the barrier."

Amber opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "So... is it possible that you suspect that the entire Violet Kingdom is a huge magical illusion? Everything there is fake? Including the city of a thousand towers, including Palan Santo, including traveling out. Masters of… But if the entire Violet Kingdom is truly an illusion, how could the staff we sent in the past be safe and sound in the past two years? Their food and clothing... Is it possible that they live on the phantom?"

"Because they are in the Violet Territory when they stay on that island, they are part of the'illusion'," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "We are bound by common sense. Amber, the illusion is not necessarily fake, and reality is not. There must be a clear boundary. Remember the'sandbox' created by the Order of the Eternal Sleeper?

"For those of us who live in the'real world', everything in the sandbox is just virtual data, but for the aboriginal people in the sandbox, their family and friends, they have daily access to various utensils. , That is the real existence, even... the sandbox can also be born like the “upper narrator” like the “deity” that can enter the real world backwards. This is enough to show that in our world, the boundary between reality and illusion is variable. …

"As a group of mortals, the Eternal Sleeper can accidentally create something like a sandbox, what if it is a mysterious and powerful ancient god?"

Humber was stunned and listened, as if suddenly thinking of something: "Wait! No! I know that there is something that was brought out of the city of a thousand towers by a mage from the Violet Kingdom! And that mage failed in the end. Returning to Violet, the things he brought from the City of Thousand Towers also stayed on our side!"

Gao Wen also reacted suddenly: "You mean...that notebook of the wild mage?!"

"Yes, that's it! The wild mage who created the magic net is actually a violet man, and his notebook is also a ‘product’ of that island... Wait, I’ll get it now!"

Amber spoke quickly, and her figure disappeared in a shadowy crevice that suddenly opened before her words. Gawain watched as the other party ran out like this. When the study became quiet, he couldn't help scratching his cheek. I also began to wonder if I had too much brainpower... Only based on the current intelligence, some abnormal phenomena in the past, and only my own guesses, I made this amazing conclusion, and even based on this The conclusion is that the core has been discussing with Amber for so long, isn’t it...

A shadowy fissure opened again in the study, interrupting the fast-moving thoughts in his mind, Amber went back and forth, holding a very old black leather notebook in his hand.

That is the notebook of the wild mage. Today, the things recorded in this notebook have been copied, excerpted, and annotated. I don’t know how many copies have been made. A lot of the knowledge recorded in it has even become the content of the textbooks in the Imperial Academy, and this " "Original" has always been properly kept in the Royal Library and never borrowed.

It seemed that the notebook really existed, but the expression on Amber's face looked very strange.

"What's the matter?" Gawain saw the expression on the other's face and guessed what was wrong with this notebook, and immediately asked.

Amber didn't say a word, but put the notebook directly in front of Gao Wen.

Its surface shimmered faintly, it was a mysterious brilliance that had never appeared before, unlike any kind of light in the world.

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out his hand to open the note, only then realized that the mysterious faint brilliance flooded every corner of the note, on every page, on every ridgeline, between the gaps of the pages. , The faintly flickering light seems to infiltrate the entire book. This scene is like a “conflict” caused by an “abnormal object” that shouldn’t exist here forcibly staying in the real world, but Gao Wen’s There is another feeling.

He felt it was some kind of protection...some force was forcibly keeping the book.

Under the guidance of some inexplicable intuition, he turned to the last page of this notebook with special meaning. In his memory, it was a blank page, but he was surprised to see the handwriting floating on the paper. On page

"In the end, the last traces of the wild mage left in the world are preserved in this way, proving that he really existed."

…

The cold sea breeze is blowing on the face, and the fine waves are surging in the wind, flapping the side of the "Hold Star", but this majestic steel ship is not affected by this wind and waves at all, it is just like Like a firm sea fortress, driven by a powerful mechanical engine, it sailed smoothly towards the country of wizards across the strait.

Modil Wilde stood on the bow of the Cold Star, staring fixedly at the coast that was gradually becoming clear in his vision. Victoria Wilde stood beside him, looking in the same direction as him.

This is a warship, not as powerful as the Bitter Winter, but a steel warship capable of dealing with all crises in this strait. After learning about the weird changes in the Violet Kingdom, Victoria directly sent a message to the Imperial Capital in accordance with the highest level of warning standards. , And then directly drove out the warship that was on standby in Beigang.

In fact, if it weren’t for Bitter Winter’s power spine overhaul, she even planned to apply for it and send Bitter Winter...

"If the event level really reaches the level of'Divine Disaster', then this ship will not be able to deal with it." Victoria suddenly whispered.

"It's not about driving this ship to fight with the gods," Modil murmured. "The situation of Violet is still in the category of the'extraordinary vision'. Let's investigate the incident first..."

Victoria glanced at the ancestor next to her and her expression became a little serious: "Do we need to fight those'shadow dwellers'? Did you find anything when you fought them? For example, do they show signs of entering the real world on a large scale? ?"

"I can't say that this is bad. After all, I can't beat it. The number is too far apart. When you meet, you will only run away." Modil waved his hand. "But I don't think you need to worry too much. 'It is only established in a specific environment. The shadow residents who enter the real world can still be destroyed by artillery fire and magic. The thick fog I saw in the dream roaming state should be in the superimposed state of the shadow world and the present world. That’s why some shadow residents emerged, but now that the thick fog has dissipated..."

Victoria nodded slightly, and looked up at the distant shore that was clearly defined by the sky: "It is true that the dense fog on the island has obviously dissipated, but no one can say whether its dissipation is related to the rising of the sun. , After all, that thing...huh?"

The second half of Victoria's words suddenly stopped. She stared at the distant coast, her face like an iceberg on weekdays. At this moment, she finally showed a trace of consternation.

The coast is still far away, but with the vision of a transcendent, she can clearly see many details in the distance even without using auxiliary spells such as Eagle Eye and Wizard's Eye.

She pointed there: "There...should be where Plantel City was originally located, right?"

Modil looked in the direction of the opponent's fingers, but only saw a bare shore. The sight was barren and primitive, as if no one had set foot on it for thousands of years.

"You said that Prandall City was swallowed by dense fog... and the black flames turned the buildings in the city into nothingness..." Victoria slowly turned her head, looking at Modir with weird eyes, "but I finally understand now. What are you talking about..."

"Oh, I used declarative sentences from the beginning, but you all think I used rhetoric," Modil opened his hands. "Things written by adventurers like me are usually documentary literature."

The old mage was very calm, but in fact, at least half of the indifference on his face was pretended.

He was equally astonished because even though he saw Prandall being swallowed by dense fog and being burned by black fire in the "Dreamland", he really didn't expect such a big city to actually disappear like this! And disappeared without a trace, as if such a city had never existed on the entire coast!

He has been in this world for hundreds of years, and he has never seen such a thing!

"You don't seem to be surprised at all?" Victoria's voice came from the side at this time, and the duchess in charge of the north was fixedly looking at her ancestors. The situation after Del was completely swallowed by the dense fog..."

Modil stroked his beard with a calm face: "I have traveled on the mainland for centuries. Although I can't remember many things, this vision will not mess me up."

When you are an ancestor, you must pay attention to your image in front of future generations...

Victoria obviously didn't think much about it, her calm eyes seemed to have the words "Worthy of you" written in her eyes, and then her eyes fell on the direction of the violet coastline again.

Footsteps came from the side, and the black-haired dragonborn maid Maggie came to the deck.

"Plandle City has disappeared, and the crew is waiting for your order," Maggie said with her head lowered. "Do we still act as planned?"

Victoria thought for a while and nodded: "Go on, anchor down four nautical miles offshore, and send an exploratory team."
