Chapter 206: The Great Hole in the Shadow Realm

After popping up from the critical state of the Shadow Realm, Amber tried several times in disbelief, but each time he entered the critical state without any change and then fell back to the present world.

When she tried it for the fourth time, she couldn't take it anymore.

Gawain was also confused by this situation for a while (of course, it may have been caused by several critical switches), and subconsciously asked, "What's going on? Your plug-in expired?"

"Hacks? What are cheaters?" Amber didn't understand what Gawain was talking about, but he guessed by looking at the other party's expression that it wasn't a compliment, so he pouted angrily, "There must be something wrong with the environment here! Wait a minute, I Drink half a catty of Shadow Elixir and come back - I don't believe even my shadow affinity..."

"Stop, stop, don't go up, calm down and analyze the situation," Gawain waved his hand to stop the half-elf's death move, "Carefully sense the shadow environment here, and then try ordinary shadow steps or stealth skills. use."

Amber calmed down after Gawain's reminder, she took a breath, and her figure gradually faded in the air.

After several tests, she released her shadow state: "Regular shadow steps and stealth skills are fine, and skills such as shadow fog can also be used smoothly. It seems that only when you enter the shadow world, you will be affected by... a It's like a distraction that pops up in an instant."

"Shadow Realm... So is the problem on the 'other side'..." Gawain looked thoughtfully at the ring device in the center of the room that looked like a magic door, and then frowned. Come to your heart, "Isn't the shadow world equivalent to some kind of mapping of the present world? You try to enter the shadow world outside this room, and then come over from the 'other side' to see the situation."

"I'll give it a try!" Amber agreed, and dragged Gawain out the door, "Come here and protect my eyes..."

Does this guy think of himself as an eye-protection barrage? Specially used to block the face of the ancient god...

Gawain reluctantly followed behind Amber, and after leaving the circular room for a while,

The two of them entered the shadow world smoothly.

Seeing the familiar black-and-white vision in front of him, and seeing Amber's figure switch to a form that is unique in the Shadow Realm, like some kind of elemental banshee, Gawain suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Scare me Jump, I thought your plug-in really expired..."

"You're so weird, you can't understand it." Amber muttered, then grabbed Gawain's arm and walked towards the rotunda in the Shadow Realm.

They crossed the ancient door, but after crossing the gate, all they saw was a modest rotunda.

There is no flesh and blood of gods, no hidden research facilities, not even extra doors, windows and passages, there is nothing here.

Amber looked around curiously: "Strange...it's just an ordinary hall, why is there any interference...and the interference is so funny, just take a little detour to get in..."

However, after Gawain glanced around the surrounding environment, he immediately noticed the violation: "No, we probably didn't get around."

He raised his hand and pointed to the center of the hall: "The ring device is gone, and there are residual tear marks on the ground."

In the hall of the present world, the most striking thing is the ring device in the center of the room, but here, the ring with a height of three or four meters has disappeared, replaced by a broken trace on the ground, and the whole dug up A large piece of floor - there was undoubtedly something there.

"Except for the laboratory that met the flesh and blood of the gods before, the shadow world and the present world basically maintain a one-to-one mapping state, and according to the traces left on the ground here, it can be judged that there should be a corresponding ring here That's right, but it's gone now." Gawain frowned and came to the floor that had been dug out, "Look at the size here, it corresponds to the base of the ring."

"Someone ran to the Shadow Realm and stole the door on this side?" Amber thought strangely, "This method is okay..."

"No one is going to steal a magic door," Gawain glanced at Amber, "I think some kind of force ripped apart this place and 'transferred' the things that were supposed to be here to something else. Place. If we enter the Shadow Realm from the rotunda in the present world, we should come to the corresponding ring, and if we enter the Shadow Realm from the corridor outside the room, we can only see this empty 'inner hall', which is a certain kind of misplaced mapping..."

Amber didn't know how Gawain thought of these things, but after thinking that his thoughts were zero, he followed Gawain's thoughts: "So what is that kind of 'interference' power for?"

Gawain frowned, letting his thoughts wander: "Perhaps it is to prevent unauthorized people from bypassing the 'Might and Magic' to reach a certain place... It can only be reached through the correctly paired 'Might and Magic' The correct location, in addition to this, either cannot enter the Shadow Realm, or can only enter this empty hall, which was often used by the magisters of Gondor to encrypt important treasure houses."

"In other words, if we want to find out where the correct corresponding position is here, the only way is to repair the ring in the present world?" Amber raised his eyebrows, "Then this touches my knowledge blind spot. now..."

"It's not just your blind spot of knowledge. I'm afraid no one in the territory can decipher such a complex ancient magic device." Gawain shook his head regretfully. The ring "outside" was not a simple magic circle, but a mixture of magic Intricate magical devices including arrays, ancient synthetic materials, and Gondor Might and Magic technology, this

The level of things, relying on the current level of the caster on the territory, I am afraid that it can't handle it at all.

Amber stuck out his tongue, feeling that he was helpless in this regard, and then wandered around the rotunda at will.

She looked east and west, and from time to time she took out her small dagger to scratch the runes on the wall or on the ground, but when she walked around the opposite side of the hall, she suddenly stopped.

She noticed that there was a dark crack on the curved wall here - the crack was not very wide, but it branched into many cracks, and the dense cracks even covered the entire wall in sight.

She reached out her fingers curiously and stroked the crack.

Gawain was examining the traces of runes remaining on the floor of the hall, and suddenly heard a continuous cracking sound coming from not far away. He looked up in astonishment, and the scene in front of him surprised him:

I saw that the side of the hall far from the entrance was rapidly disintegrating and collapsing. The curved wall that was originally integrated was covered with large black cracks. The endless abyss is devouring this building!

Amber standing in front of the wall seemed to be frightened by this scene, the ground under her feet had cracked slightly, but she herself stood there unaware, motionless!

"Be careful!"

At the critical moment, Gawain shouted and rushed up, dragged the stunned Amber back, the two of them retreated to the entrance of the hall before stopping, and Amber didn't exclaim until this moment: "My god, the wall collapsed with my finger!"

Gawain held Amber's arm tightly, watching the collapse of the hall. He was ready to evacuate at any time, but soon he realized that the collapse had only spread to a quarter of the hall and stopped. ——Although the momentum was huge, it ended very quickly.

However, the scene after the collapse of the wall and ceiling made him frown, and a strange and bizarre feeling welled up in his heart.

It was pitch black outside, as if the world had disappeared and the universe had died out.

"That's... what..." Amber's nervous voice changed its tone, and what made her even more nervous was that she watched Gawain walk towards the collapsed place, "Hey! Be careful!"

Gawain was really careful, he cautiously came to the collapsed boundary of the hall, and looked at the space outside the wall.

Behind the wall, there should have been the deep and thick layers of rocks and soil in the Dark Mountains, but Gawain saw only darkness and nothingness. Complete darkness filled his vision, as if everything in the world was beyond that boundary. Abruptly stopped.

But he narrowed his eyes, observed carefully, and finally saw something extremely distant and extremely vague from the darkness.

He saw that at the very far end of the dark space, there were undulating outlines like "6 places on the opposite bank", and at the very far above, a faint light could be seen, which was like skylight, and even in the darkness of nothingness , he could also vaguely make out some floating objects, which seemed to be boulders and islands that lost gravity and tumbled in mid-air.

Gawain finally realized what was going on in the darkness in front of him: this was not the end of all things in the world, but an unprecedentedly huge "void".

The scale of this void is so large that it exceeds the limit that the human eye can accept light, so it gives people the illusion of "everything disappears", but the special "lighting environment" of the shadow world determines that there will be no absolutes here. It was pitch black, so Gawain could vaguely make out what was in the void.

He took out a magic spar at random, injected magic power to activate the crystal, and then threw it forcefully into the distance.

The crystal that radiated bright light flew forward after letting go. It could have illuminated a wide room, but when it entered the big hole, it immediately turned into an inconspicuous light—due to the lack of reflective surfaces around it, Its light was too small to be worth mentioning.

This confirmed Gawain's conjecture.

"Is this... a cave?" Amber also boldly followed. She looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment, and noticed the ray of light in the sky very far above, "It seems to lead directly to the surface? This hollow... ...how big is it!?"

"Size aside, Knight Byron has been drilling in the Dark Mountains for so long, and the corridors he has explored include the area corresponding to the void in front of us - that is to say, there is absolutely no such thing in the Dark Mountains in the real world. Empty," Gawain said with shock, "this void is limited to the Shadow Realm... If this is not a natural formation, then it can only be the work of some kind of force beyond the imagination of mortals..."

Amber finally reacted at this time: "So I couldn't enter the shadow world before, not because of the interference of magic door, but because this area... does not correspond to the current world, the dislocation here is too serious?"

"...I don't know," Gawain admitted frankly at the moment, "I only know that we may not be able to solve the mystery here... Unless the ring device outside can be repaired, no one will be able to solve it. Understand what the ancient magisters of Gondor did here."

Amber rubbed the arm that started to get goosebumps: "Hey... Anyway, I can't stay here any longer. This place is too weird. I think it's the right way for us to leave quickly."

Gawain sighed: "I quite agree with you this time."
