Noticing Gawain's gaze, Heidi also looked over curiously, and then struggled to identify the ancient writing on the wall - but before she could finish identifying it, Gawain took the initiative to explain the meaning of that sentence.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

"What does this sentence... mean?" Amber stared blankly at the line of words that seemed to be a declaration, and said in disbelief, "No one should say such a thing under normal circumstances... and it is still Write it in this place!"

Heidi had an association: "It is only by disobeying the gods that humans can survive... Could it be that the gods want humans to perish?"

"Things related to God are often full of symbols and metaphors, and it is not obvious from the surface meaning of a sentence." Gawain said absentmindedly, but what popped up in his heart was the past and eternity. Sensational facts heard when shards of slate made connections.

Then he turned to Byron: "You mentioned that surviving manuscript materials were found here?"

Byron nodded: "Yes, over here. But they are quite fragile, and we didn't dare to touch them after we found them."

The remaining manuscript materials were not sealed, but scattered on the table not far away. It seems that for some reason, the personnel here did not take this batch of materials away when they evacuated. The material of the manuscript is the infusion parchment commonly used by magicians in the Gondor Empire to record. It is precisely because of this special material that these manuscripts have survived thousands of years of exposure to air. age eroded.

But although the manuscript itself was not rotten, many of the words on it had faded and weathered to make it difficult to read. Gawain glanced at it and judged that at least half of them were unreadable.

Luckily there's still half left.

Hetty was ready. She brought a newly enchanted scroll and a ritual quill. After seeing those precious ancient manuscripts, she immediately unrolled the scroll and let it float in mid-air beside her. , then holding a quill in one hand, the other hand on top of the already fragile ancient parchment, the quill suddenly detached from her fingers as the power of magic surged around her with the obscure incantation , and flew to the scroll by itself and started writing quickly.

The characters on the parchment were faithfully restored and rubbed by magic power, no matter whether it was a clearly identifiable part or a mutilated part that was difficult to read, and after each "scan" of a piece of paper, Hetty took a little breath, and processed the processed part. The original ancient manuscripts were carefully picked up and put into the small boxes that had been prepared.

Although the manuscript content has been preserved,

But these antique originals are still quite valuable, and of course better preserved.

Gawain stood beside Heidi, sighing slightly at the convenience of magical power, while watching the content on the scroll intently.

He read slowly, as he had to extract readable and valid information from a swarm of mangled characters, but even then some disturbing sentences were piecing together: it didn't seem like a research note, or even The diary, after putting those words into sentences, Gawain only felt that they were like a madman's gibberish, and they were full of terrible conjectures and metaphors:

"... look at it, and it looks at me from the festering flesh... it's in me, and I'm going to be in it...

"No one will survive, the end is near... Blasphemy doesn't keep us alive...

"...Delicious, feasting, I ate the flesh and blood of the gods again, and lived a new century here, they didn't come, they still didn't come, but I don't need them to come again. The outside world has collapsed, it has collapsed …”

This was followed by a long chaotic scribble, the text turned into indecipherable lines and symbols, not because the writing on the manuscript was blurred and distorted, but the person who wrote them seemed to have gone mad, but after a few manuscripts After that, these crazy doodles turned into readable text:

"He slept in the depths of the earth, he slept in the depths of the sea, he slept in the depths of the sky, he was calling my name, that murmur...

"I saw him, the face of the gods, he smiled at me in the light... step forward, I am going to his kingdom. Ah, that is the greatest gift, the gods gave us flesh and blood to share our food, so For this day..."

After that, there are large paragraphs of crazy lines. Even if a few words occasionally pop out of those graffiti, it seems illogical and grammatical. It is not so much writing words as it is a chaotic brain. It would be more appropriate for the occasional non-sentence ravings to pop up: the manuscripts could no longer be read.

Hetty also noticed this. She printed several pages of this "garbled code" in a row, and finally stopped, flipped through the manuscripts with her evocative hand, and stopped her own work after confirming that there was nothing of value below. spell.

"What does this say?" Amber leaned over and asked curiously, looking at the rubbing scroll floating in the air, "It's like a ghost drawing..."

"A madman's ravings," Gawain frowned, the words on the scroll made him deeply disturbed, but he still roughly explained what was on it, "...it sounds like a man who was abandoned in the The people here, the things left behind in the process of gradually going mad."

After hearing the meaning of those words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but feel a strange creepy feeling. Although those words were just crazy words, somehow, there seemed to be a special power in those words. A terrifying breath.

"I...I don't like these things anymore..." Amber got goosebumps all over and couldn't help hiding behind Gawain, "This place makes me feel very, very bad..."

Gawain was about to express a similar opinion, but before he could speak, a very slight grunt suddenly came from behind him.

It was followed by a series of grunting noises.

Everyone immediately pulled out their weapons and turned to the direction of the sound, and in front of everyone's eyes, one of those cylindrical containers in the center of the hall suddenly changed!

The originally empty transparent tubular culture tank was filled with liquid out of thin air, and a large string of bubbles quickly emerged from the surging liquid, and a twisted and weird shadow emerged from the bubble, which was still illusory a second ago. The shadow of the next second has already condensed into the entity——

It has a blood-red color, a giant-like body, and it looks like an extraordinarily strong aberration, but it has a face similar to that of a human.

This monster, which seemed to be a mixture of aberrations and humans, condensed out of thin air, and then began to struggle to break through the sealed transparent container. An incredible scene appeared: the container that should have been completely sealed suddenly became When it became illusory, the monster's body also became illusory. The two quickly merged and penetrated into each other, and the monster's body was forced out of the container like this!

Gawain pulled out his long sword: "Kill it!"

The monster also regained its physical form at this moment. The first time after it was freed from the bondage, it rushed towards the soldier closest to it, swooping at it and letting out a chaotic low roar: "Hungry... Hungry. what!!"

Several long swords blocked the monster's path from all directions, followed by scorching blades, poisoned daggers, and a series of arcane missiles smashing the monster head to head - except for the arcane missiles, which all hit the ground. Other than that, all other attacks hit the twisted creature solidly.

However, its vitality is terrifyingly strong. Even if its limbs were cut off, the tendons were broken, and even the weak back of the deformed body was slashed by Gawain with a sword, it still did not die, and still struggled to get up and flutter. To the amber right in its line of sight.

Amber stepped aside immediately after stabbing at the beginning, ready to fish. She never expected that she would become the target of the monster. She screamed in fright, and the next second she shrank into the shadow and escaped. into the shadows.

The monster fluttered in the air, and the Knight Byron seized the opportunity when his footing was unsteady, and stepped forward and stabbed the enemy in the opposite direction.

It seems that the monster mixed with humans and aberrations fell heavily to the ground, but it did not start to dissipate like a normal aberration, but it was creeping and gradually recovered, and there were signs of getting up again!

"It's not dead yet?!" Gawain was startled by this abnormal situation, and immediately took the sword in his hand and prepared to go forward to make up for it, but before he had time to take action, Amber, who had just hid in the Shadow Realm, suddenly jumped out of thin air. He came out and grabbed his arm with a look of horror: "Gao Wen! Dark... There is something in the Shadow Realm!!"

Gawain had never seen such a frightened look on the face of this fearless half-elf—different from the deliberately exaggerated and frightened expressions in the past, Amber looked truly frightened at this time. , Gawain even felt that if this place was a little gloomier, the girl would even cry on the spot!

Gawain glanced at the monster that had fallen into a stalemate with Byron and his party again, and confirmed that the monster would not suppress Byron and others for the time being except for its strong vitality, Gawain immediately grabbed Amber's arm: "Take me in and see! "

Amber hesitated for a while: "But in the Shadow Realm..."

"There is me!"

Amber gritted his teeth and pulled Gawain's arm hard: "Okay!"

That peculiar sense of imbalance came again, the sound and perception of the real world quickly disappeared, and Gawain was pulled into the Shadow Realm by Amber in the blink of an eye.

This world, which exists in parallel with the real time and space, seems to always maintain the same brightness, neither dark nor bright. Whether it is on the surface or in a deep mountain cave, it always maintains a dim and dark situation that does not affect the line of sight.

After Gawain entered the Shadow Realm, his first glance was to look around: just like the rest of the Shadow Realm, the real time and space were mapped in a chaotic way here. The circle was like a dark mass surging like smoke - that is where the magic devices are stacked in the present world, and in the center of the hall, is the "thing" that Amber mentioned.

The original metal base and transparent tubular container were gone, replaced by a pool of black mist surging in the center of the room, and a blood-red mud that continued to spread from the black mist.

And along with the mud, there were countless chaotic whispers that suddenly filled my mind!
