Sword of Daybreaker

Listening to the scene of the ruins described by Meghal III, Gao Wen gradually lost his thoughts.

The ancient facilities buried deep in the ground are clearly different from the architectural style of the Gondor Empire and incomprehensible ancient technology. There are "samples" involving gods ... all these characteristics give him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The clues revealed immediately by Megal confirmed his "familiarity".

"There is another point," said the low voice in the starlight aggregate, "the relics we found underground in Orlandale, and the relics that would be found in the Solin area, seem to have a certain style — — They look like two facilities built by the same civilization under the influence of different historical periods or different regional cultures. But because the relics are too old and lack key clues, we have not been able to determine the relationship between them for many years Specific connections, not to mention the ancient techniques of cracking ruins ... "

Gao Wen suddenly took a soft breath: "It is the legacy of the tide ..."

Apparently Meghal had never heard the word before, and asked subconsciously, "Your Majesty? What did you say?"

"The ruins you found, and the place where all things will die in the Solin area, should all originate from an ancient civilization called 'Adverse Tide', which was completely destroyed in the war with the dragon, and this empire There are inextricable links with the gods. "

He thought of the "Ultimate Book" that Bertila had given to himself, which was the legacy of the Adversity Empire. Its role was to forge keys and communicate with satellite databases in planetary orbits. The clue provided by Thira was that in the already collapsed area of ​​the Solin Palace there were some rooms that had been eroded and polluted by inexplicable forces. Those rooms were obviously related to the gods.

And now, there are new clues that the underground house occupied by the Tifeng Empire and the dormant occupied by the dormant is likely to be the second remnant of the tide that exists!

Megur obviously didn't expect that Gao Wen would even break down the details of the mysterious relic-a problem that the eternal sleeper has not understood for hundreds of years. It seems to be just common sense in Gao Wen, but he soon remembered it. The real identity behind this seemingly "human emperor" gradually faded.

Gao Wen did not continue to discuss with Megal about the adversity empire-after all, he knows so much, he looked to Megal and reverted to the topic: "You will occupy the end of all things Does the local palace have some understanding? "

Megal replied immediately: "We have some cooperation with them, sharing some less important information."

"Well," Gao Wen nodded, "then go back to the ancient ruins you found--what happened after that? The Tifeng royal family, who must have been Orlando, was blinded?"

"The ruins are extremely hidden, and the entrance to the surface has been almost completely swallowed by earth and rock. We can find the entrance to be completely lucky-after realizing that it is an excellent hiding place, we are even sending personnel In addition to the transfer of materials, the entrance has been transformed and covered, making it more difficult to find. In the following years, we have always carefully hidden ourselves and hidden underground facilities.

"Eternal Sleepers are a group that is very good at hiding themselves. As you think, for hundreds of years ... the Augustus family didn't even know that we were hiding under their eyes, let alone know What ... secrets are buried beneath their cities.

"We are the shadow and symbiote under the city of Orlando. We have taken root and developed together with that city and penetrated many of the city's facilities. In this way, we rested in those ancient temples and cloisters, and once suffered heavy losses. The Order regained its vitality a little bit-at first, we only gathered in the shallower layers of the ruins, where it was safer, and enough to accommodate all of our members at that time, but as the Order slowly recovered, we decided to go deeper.

"We want to at least figure out what our 'home' looks like.

"We quickly explored the safe dome area and the almost empty middle-level connecting corridor, and finally, we found at the deepest part of the ruins ... something that is still working."

Gawain's eyes immediately became serious: "What is still running? What is it?"

"Allow me to show you what I saw then--"

Mei Gaoer said slowly, the amorphous starlight body gradually diffused, it turned into a mist, and deep in the hazy smoke and dust, Gao Wen saw a scene of holographic images (magic illusion) quickly Stripped and reappeared from Megal's memory.

He saw a huge rotunda. There was also a large-scale ring-shaped facility surrounded by metal and crystals. A large number of black obelisk-shaped devices were installed in the hall at an angle, and its top pointed to the hall. In the center of the hall, he saw a group of dazzling, ocean-like things surging around a circle of antiquity installations. It was like a viscous liquid, but it was rising. When it rises, it presents a dim and illusory luster, and inside it, there are things like stars that are constantly moving and flashing.

Gao Wen frowned immediately. "What is this?"

The voice of Megal came from the smoggy mist and fog surrounding it: "A powerful energy restraint device, composed of an amazing magnetic field, circulating arcane energy, and a series of elemental stabilizers, is so large that the entire hall And part of the cloisters around the hall are its 'shells.' "

The former pope then paused, adding: "It took us almost a century to figure out these broad 'functional components.'"

"... What restrains the center of the field is the wreck of the God of Dreams?" Gao Wen frowned. "Is this a prison installation?"

"We thought so too ... and this was one of the biggest mistakes we made," said Mergo III Shen Sheng. "After discovering this area, we didn't fully understand what it did, only thinking it was The energy of the ruins is like the magic well in the mage tower. We studied it carefully and spent a century to understand its general function, but found that the technology inside could not be copied and used at all. Of course, we did not dare to close it rashly. It's because no one knows the consequences of doing so.

"After many years, we finally found some ways to control the energy flow, and in an attempt to adjust the energy flow, the central part of the constraint field opened a very small crack-something that was shielded inside A breath finally leaked out, and I was on the scene.

"In that breath, I felt some terrible and familiar 'voices'—"

There was a sudden tremor and hesitation in Megal's voice. It seemed that terrible feeling would still entangle his now-heterogeneous mind and body, but after a moment of calm, he calmed down his tone and continued:

"I feel the breath of gods.

"An amazing truth has shocked all of us-it is not something else that is 'bound' in the restraint field, but the God we once worshiped, or in other words, a part of God ...

"That was a fragment of the God of Dreams, we do n’t know where it came from, we do n’t know what kind of power can cut a fragment from the **** 'body', we do n’t know how much it has been imprisoned in that device Years, we only know one thing-that terrible, on the verge of madness, that will eventually engulf the entire world, can even be hurt and imprisoned.

"After the Patriarch's Peak incident, everyone was shrouded in a long-lasting despair, because the power of the gods was so powerful that mortals could not fight them at the same time. At the same time, this power was in an impossibility. On the blocked and gradually mad road, all this is as irreversible as the end of the countdown, but the device we found underground seems to let us see a glimmer of light-that is the fragment of God! Imprisoned pieces that can be used for research!

"After overcoming great fear, we ... began to study that thing.

"The powerful force of the restraint field can shield the spiritual pollution of the gods, which makes our research possible. It is also these properties of the restraint field that make us make terrible and wrong judgments about everything- We mistakenly thought that the entire underground facility was a prison, and that the restraint was used to trap the gods ... "

Gao Wengang wanted to ask, the amber beside him could not help breaking the silence: "Isn't it?"

"Of course not. That thing ... is actually an altar.

"An altar used to greet the gods, talk to the gods, and provide temporary containers for the gods-the so-called container is the restrained field in the hall.

"God's will" fall "in the center of that restrained field in the form of" fragments ", like an isolated eye, and the **** of dreams observes the world through that eye, and we are busy under this eye's gaze For hundreds of years. "

Amber took a cool breath: "... Maya ..."

Even Gao Wen felt a coolness spreading to his heart. He could imagine how horrible the truth was, so that at this moment, Megur III would tremble when he mentioned related matters.

"Everything you do is being watched by the God of Dreams?" His tone was extremely solemn, and he frowned at Megal that had reunited.

"Blessed in misfortune-the 'God's Eye' in that installation is not in real-time communication with the body of the deity," Megal said in a complex tone. "The 'God's Eye' in the installation is more like a split. The avatar, which collects information in this world. After a certain degree, the polarity of the core of the restraint device will be reversed, and the fragments that are the 'eyes of God' will be released back to the realm of God. Only then will the **** of dreams know the eyes The sight we saw, and the restraint device we found may be too old, or some functions may be damaged and stuck. It has never released the 'eye of God' in the center of the energy field.

"In a sense, the device in the state of failure is actually a real prison ... but unlike a real prison, the 'prisoner' in it is theoretically the owner of the prison, and the gate of the prison ... at any time May be open because the system heals itself.

"You should imagine how terrible this is for us."

"I can imagine," Gao Wen nodded slightly, "but I'm curious, how did you discover the truth? Is there a manual beside that ancient installation?"

Megal was silent for a moment, and the starlight polymer slowly rose and shrank, "... Your Majesty, do you know how I became like this?"

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "Don't I change my life form in order to extend my life?"

"At the time, I had used the technology provided by the End of Life to extend my life, at least for centuries," said Megal with a sigh. "It was an experiment that made me look like this. accident.

"Because of a mistake in operating the energy flow, I was hit by a ray emitted from the confinement field. The ray destroyed my body, but the powerful energy of the confinement field trapped my soul. I was caught in those currents. Of energy, and ... slightly touched the 'Eye of God', which was tied to the core. "

Gao Wen understood: "The knowledge of the gods has a mandatory indoctrination feature-did you 'see' the truth of the device from the fragments of the **** of dreams?"

"Yes," Megur III affirmed Gao Wen's guess, "the moment I came in contact with the" Eye of God ", I knew the truth of the installation and what would happen if the" Eye of God "was released back to the realm of God Terrible consequences-all our secrets will be exposed to the gods, and the gods will never allow such rebellion.

"Fortunately, I 'lived' from that terrible accident, because the members of the church community at the scene operated in time, my soul was released before it was completely annihilated, but at the same time serious distortions and mutations occurred— —Since that day, I have become this look.

"But compared with the truth of the Eye of God, the mutation of the soul is nothing. We must solve the hidden danger of the Eye of God, either completely destroy it, or permanently cut off its connection with the realm of God, making it impossible to return To the **** of dreams. "
