Chapter 585 Wisteria
Gao Wen watched Amber escape from the Shadow Realm in astonishment, and saw that the other party's face was full of panic and nervousness: "What's wrong?"
"Shadow...there is something in the Shadow Realm!!" Amber almost jumped up and said, "It is definitely not something native to the Shadow Realm - someone put them in it, and it spreads everywhere!!"
As if a light flashed in his mind, Gawain suddenly realized what was really ignored by everyone, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Amber's arm: "Take us in and see."
Amber hesitated for a while, but she nodded after thinking of the combat effectiveness of several people on the scene: "Okay - but you have to be careful, there are shadow residents lingering here, don't conflict with them."
Sonia and Banner listened to Amber's crackling talk. At first, they didn't realize what was going on. Only at this time did they realize that this seemingly inconspicuous half-elf has the ability to arbitrarily in the present world and the shadow world. Shutting between them, the two of them couldn't help but widen their eyes, but they knew that this was not the time to ask for details, so they suppressed all their doubts and quickly prepared for the space replacement.
——The shadow world is difficult to enter, but it is not completely blocked to mortals. Powerful shadow casters can also open the rift into the shadow world through complex rituals and tedious preparations. Banner and Sonia are well-informed The elves have naturally seen the extraordinary who can enter the shadow world, but they just didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful thing as Amber who can "cross the border" casually.
After confirming that everyone was ready, Amber no longer hesitated. She released her innate power. Around her, the boundaries between the present world and the shadow world quickly became blurred.
An unknowable and unfathomable crack opened, and the entire rotunda was quickly covered with a layer of black and white filter-like monotonous colors, the humming metal pillars became quiet, and the holographic projections in the air disappeared. , a deserted, strange, black and white space descended beside the four of them.
Although some psychological preparations were made, Sonia and Banner couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment after seeing Amber's innate abilities, while Gawain immediately noticed those who were wandering in the corner of the hall with talismans wrapped around their bodies. Wen Bu's hazy phantom - those inhabitants of the shadow world seemed to be indifferently observing the uninvited guests here, Gawain could even feel their inhuman eyes swept over him, and those eyes were not actually malicious, but Extremely cold.
Banner and Sonia also noticed the wandering shadow residents at this time, the former muttered in a low voice: "I only saw them in the research materials... I didn't expect to see them with my own eyes."
"It's best to restrain your researcher mentality, this is the Shadow Realm," Sonia said softly, then she raised her head and looked around the hall, "These things... are really creepy..."
Those corrupt vines stimulated the nerves of everyone present.
Gawain looked at the wizard wizard: "Banna, can you figure out what's going on with these vines?"
Banner also tried as hard as Sonya to ignore the shadow dwellers who were indifferently watching not far away. He looked at the withered and corrupt vines spreading around the hall, and shook his head as he stepped forward to check: "I have never seen such a thing. , but there is no doubt that they should not be here."
Gawain looked at Amber and confirmed it again: "Are you sure this is not a 'natural product' from the Shadow Realm?"
"Anyway, I've traveled through the shadow world so many times, and I've never seen anything like it," Amber spread out his hand, "How about I go and ask those shadow residents?"
Sonia heard this and looked at her in surprise: "They will respond to you?!"
"Almost, I can chat a few times sometimes, but not all shadow residents are willing to deal with people. Some of them seem to be not very clear-headed," Amber said casually, and then waved his hands to those standing A figure not far away, "I'll go and find out."
On the other side, Banner has come to a preliminary conclusion after carefully examining the state of those vines and alloy pillars: "These vines seem to have invaded the sensing and transmission structure of the stele, but I don't understand...I haven't seen them, they Can the erosion in the Shadow Realm really affect the present world?"
"There is a secret mapping relationship between the Shadow Realm and the present world. What you said is very likely," Sonia nodded lightly, and then frowned, "These vines... give people the feeling that they are cultivated by Druids. The magic vine, but the form I have never seen."
A name already popped up in Gawain's mind: All things die.
Amber has come to the shadow residents. She looked around and found someone who might be easy to talk to. She asked cautiously, "Hey, do you know who brought these vines in?"
The shadow wrapped in the runecloth really responded to her. He turned his head slightly, but did not directly answer her question, but a voice that seemed to be of interest came from the black mist-like head: " Little girl, what an interesting individual you are... who put you in here?"
"What?" Amber was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that the shadow residents here seemed different from the ones she had come into contact with. Even if the shadow residents she had come into contact with could communicate with her, she never behaved like this. ..."reasonable", "what did you say?"
"It doesn't matter...it's not important..." The Shadow Resident's voice suddenly became deeper, he muttered some words he couldn't understand in a low voice, and then Amber heard him continue, "There are cracks here, many cracks... powerful The magic of the world has made the borders fragile... the outsiders planted the seeds outside, and they grew here..."
After that, the shadow's voice became muffled again, and he seemed to lose interest in talking. After some incomprehensible murmurs, the figures of him and the surrounding shadow dwellers began to dim at the same time, and they gradually disappeared. In the air, only Amber was left with a confused face.
Not far away, Banner had cut a section of vines from an alloy column, and he found that these vines were actually "dead".
"They are dead," the magister said in surprise, "but they don't seem to have been dead for long...their cores show signs of scorching, as if they were burnt by a powerful flow of energy."
Sonia raised her eyebrows slightly: "Could it be... was it burned by the overload before the Sentinel Tower?"
"I can't rule out this possibility, the time seems to correspond, but the mapping relationship between the real world and the shadow world is really weird. I'm not sure what happened here when the Sentinel Tower in the real world was overloaded," Banner said cautiously, " We can only guess now that these vines have indeed affected the operation of the Sentinel Tower in the present world, and have been affecting it. They interfered with the sensors of the tower, and may even tampered with some return signals. Not long ago, the entire magnificent The massive overload of the Wall created a powerful surge of energy that even breached the boundary between the present world and the shadow world, so these hidden things were burned to death..."
This may sound funny, but it might be the truth.
"I suspect it is the handwriting of the Society for the End of All Things," Gawain expressed his conjecture. "You may not know very well in the south, but in the north, I have dealt with them a lot. They are good at cultivating this kind of distortion and corruption. The biochemical creation, and once tried to infiltrate an observation station you set up on the border of Typhon - this matter was also reported to the Silver Empire by Soldrin."
"...Those fallen druids..." Sonia frowned slightly, and then sighed softly, "Actually, we know a lot about the death of all things-although they are indeed staying away from silver. The regional activities of the Empire, but don't forget that the druid line originated from the elves in the first place."
"The activities of the Society for the End of All Things have also caused losses to the Silver Empire," Banner added beside him, "Even within the Silver Elves, there have been fallen druids who defected, including even two high-ranking officials from the Temple of Nature. Rank mentors - those pervasive fallen, their tentacles are not limited to the north of the continent."
Sonia nodded slightly, then looked at the withered vines entrenched in the hall, and took a deep breath: "But I still can't imagine that their destruction and infiltration will achieve this step... The Sentinel Tower, they actually Infiltrated the Sentinel Tower!!"
"Those shadow dwellers said that someone planted seeds in the outside world, and then these vines grew and penetrated the border between the shadow world and the present world. They said that, but most of them were true," Amber never said. He came over from a distance and said the information he had inquired, "And they also said that the powerful magic power makes the boundary between the shadow world and the present world fragile, it should be the magnificent wall, although the energy barrier is blocked The wasteland spreads, but maybe it also destroys the spatial structure here... That's what I said, I don't know the specifics."
After Sonia listened carefully to Amber's words, her face became particularly serious: "In short, this matter must be reported to the Elf Royal Court immediately, and Her Majesty the Queen must send someone to inspect every sentry tower as soon as possible. Although the vines in this tower have already Death, but there may be people alive elsewhere, and these hidden dangers must be eliminated."
"The communication function of the Sentinel Tower is still shut down. I am afraid we can only use the giant eagle messenger, the human communication tower, and short-range communication to relay information," Banner reminded next to him, "Maybe we should find a way to fix it first. The communication function of the Sentinel Tower."
Sonia's brows were deeply wrinkled: "I'm afraid this is not faster than the relay communication. The communication array is burned down, not a simple malfunction."
Gawain listened quietly by the side, and then suddenly broke the silence: "Is the magic power cycle of the entire magnificent wall still complete? It is only the communication circle that was burned, isn't it?"
"The magic power cycle is of course complete, otherwise the barrier must be full of gaps," Banner replied immediately, "but only the magic power connection is useless..."
"I have a plan," Gawain interrupted Banner, "Do you know Cecil's lewd communication?"
"Magic Web Communication?" Banner and Sonia looked at each other, and then invariably thought of the incredible magical creations they had come into contact with when they were temporarily living in Cecil City, and thought of the most impressive of those magical creations. Novel "broadcast" device, "Ah! Remember!"
The first thing Banner thought of was the cheap and convenient terminal device used by the magic web communication, and the magical feature that it can be controlled by ordinary people, while Sonia thought of the broadcast called "Witch Time". The show - that lady witch named Jibry is a nice girl...
"My plan is to connect our magic net device to the magnificent wall," Gawain didn't know what Sonia was thinking, he just continued to talk about his plan, "The principle of the magic net terminal is in the magic field. Although the terminal we manufacture can only be compatible with our own magic energy broadcast, it is adjustable. In theory, as long as it is a continuous and regular magic field, it can be used as a carrier for carrying signals. The wall is essentially a huge, looping magic field, and it's stable, isn't it?"
"This... it sounds feasible," Banner glanced at Sonia and said with a slight hesitation, "but it means that we have to open the communication key of the magnificent wall to you, and open the communication technology of the magnificent wall to you. To your technicians, eh?"
Obviously, this is more than just "allowing Gawain to view the internal structure of the Sentinel Tower".
Gawain smiled slightly: "Belsetia should not mind building a connection between the Silver Empire and the Duchy of Cecil. Of course, I also understand your scruples, but the situation we encounter may not be the same. It won't give us the leeway to think slowly."
"I agree to establish this special line," Sonia said suddenly, "I am a high-level messenger, and I will take the responsibility for it."
Gawain sighed softly and stretched out his hand to Sonia: "This will be the right choice."
