Chapter 1235 Terrible Speculation

Without any concealment or hesitation, Gao Wen confessed the news from Tarrond to Enya.

The hatching room fell silent, Gao Wen and the others didn't speak for a while, only the light golden runes on the surface of Enya's eggshell slowly flowed as usual, showing that the former dragon gods were deep in thought.

"The Tower of Reverse Tide..." The first person who couldn't help but speak was Hu Po, and the expression on the half-elf's face was quite nervous, "Could it be..."

"There are two things that cannot be explained now," Enya's voice came from the eggshell, "First, Mordir's special state does not seem to be the result of being polluted by the reverse tide, but it is obviously related to the disappearance of ancient times. Is there any connection between Adverse Tide and the Shadow Goddess? Second, Modir was in a normal state when he left the Tower of Adverse Tide, and he even had many years of adventure records circulating after that In the world, and I can be sure that he never returned to Tarrond until the day of the "British Ceremony" after leaving that year, and it is even more impossible to contact the Tower of Against the Tide again, so his strange state cannot be due to contact with the Against the Tide The result of the tower—then where did he come into contact with the erosion of god-level power?"

"So we have always suspected that this matter has something to do with Violet," Amber said immediately, "That country is mysterious, and it feels like there are some shocking secrets hidden in it. To be honest, if one day we know that I wouldn’t be surprised if the power of the gods is hidden in this huge island—maybe Mordir Wilde went to Violet back then, where he was polluted by the gods, and even established a connection with Lady Ye?”

As soon as Amber finished speaking, Gao Wen on the side shook his head slightly: "It's a pity that the City of Thousand Towers has already officially responded to us. They deny that Mordir Wilde has ever visited Violet."

"It's just their denial, and no one knows what the truth is," Amber couldn't help muttering, "But then again, if Mordir Wilde was really polluted in Violet, then this matter Maybe it really has nothing to do with the Tower Against the Tide, so we can breathe a sigh of relief..."

For a while, no one spoke, and no one responded to Amber's muttering. It was not until a few seconds later that the voice from Enya's eggshell broke the silence: "There are no absolutes in this world..."

"Great adventurer..." Gawain tapped his forehead suddenly with a bit of a headache, "This is really a troublesome occupation, Mordir has really been to too many places in his life, and has come into contact with too many suspicious things. , so that it seems that any clue can find a connection in him, and there is a possibility that there will be intersections in him between the two fields that cannot be reached..."

"My friend, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" Enya said suddenly, "Regardless of whether there is any connection behind all this, there are at least two things we can be sure of: the Tower of Against the Tide cannot be left there forever, and Mo The deteriorating situation in Dill Wilder cannot be delayed. Our discussion here is of no avail, at least there should be a concrete response.

"

Gao Wen didn't speak for a while, he frowned and fell into deep thinking and weighing, but Amber on the side muttered: "It would be great if we could just blow up that tower..."

"The things left by the voyager, how can they be blown up so easily?" Gawain looked at the half-elf helplessly, then his expression became serious, and he said as if he had made some decision, "I may have to Go to Tarrond yourself."

As soon as these words came out, Maggie, who had been standing quietly by the side without opening a word, widened her eyes in surprise: "Your Majesty? You want to go in person..."

"You're going to Tarrond again?!" Before Maggie finished speaking, Amber's eyes widened, "Think about it, going to Tarrond this time is not as safe as last time, And now there are a lot of things on Loren's side, whether it's the coordination of the member states of the alliance, the route around the continent, or the domestic affairs of the empire, any one of them is a big deal..."

Gao Wen shook his head with a smile without waiting for Amber to finish speaking: "Everything that needs me to deal with is a major event, but there are many things here that at least someone can handle it for me - I don't care about the Tower of Against Tide. Dare to let others touch it. As for whether it is safe or not...I didn't do so many things for safety, let alone the last trip to Tarrond...It's not safe at all, is it?"

While talking, he glanced at the golden giant egg next to him with a smile, and then Enya's helpless voice came from the eggshell: "My friend, I invited you last time from the bottom of my heart..."

"No kidding, your existence at that time was too dangerous," Gao Wen waved his hands with a smile, and then his expression became serious, "This matter will be settled first, but Heidi and Bird need to be allowed to Wen and the others make some arrangements for the government affairs department to make preparations. Amber, you are responsible for informing them when you go back, and also make preparations for properly maintaining the domestic situation during my absence."

Amber just nodded subconsciously, and then reacted: "Huh? You won't take me this time?"

"This time is different from last time," Gao Wen nodded slowly, and said with a serious expression, "This time I'm not going to deal with mortal forces, but your talents in intelligence and infiltration are over there." There is not much room for development, and I am more worried about handing over many domestic affairs to others than taking you to Tarrond."

"...Okay," Amber thought for a while, and felt that what Gao Wen said made sense, but her ears still drooped a little, "then listen to you."

...

Amber and Maggie left first. The former needed to arrange her work, while the latter experienced the long-distance flight from Tarrond to North Port, and then from North Port to Cecil City. His tired body needed some rest. Coupled with the fact that the two baby dragons were taken away by Betty and hadn't come back yet, the hatching room became quiet for a while, leaving only Enya and Gao Wen.

One person and one egg were thinking about their own affairs in this quiet atmosphere. After a long time, Gao Wen broke the silence with some apology: "I seem to only come to you every time when I am in trouble."

"Compared to the past days, the 'trouble' you bring now can only be regarded as the pleasure of adjusting my life," Enya said in a gentle voice, "You don't need to feel sorry for this, on the contrary, I Much happier to see you cause so much 'trouble' - it means you're not resting on your laurels, it means you're still moving toward your ambitious goals."

Gao Wen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Is that so?"

"Of course," Enya said with a smile, "I'm very pleased with this, and what makes me especially pleased is that you decided to go to Tarrond for the second time..."

Gao Wen couldn't help being a little curious: "Is there anything special about this?"

"This shows that you have not been fooled by the brilliant achievements you have created so far," Enya said in a serious tone, "and this is what I have been most worried about—when you succeed in making this land prosperous , fulfilled your original promise to the people, when you established an alliance, and dozens of countries in the alliance regard you as the biggest pillar; The rivers of trade begin to flow; when you have successfully established a theocracy, and put all the power of the secular and theocracy at your disposal - when you have done all this and put it on others, it is enough to make a name in history After what happened, I am glad to see that you are still willing to leave your palace and go to a wasteland to solve the crisis yourself.

"I have known many great mortals. I have seen their great achievements throughout their lives. It is not that there are no one who has done those things like you, but few people who have accomplished so many great deeds are still willing to risk their lives. ...sometimes it doesn't mean they're cowardly and lazy, sometimes it's just a safe and wise choice, but in all fairness, I appreciate your choice more...and I believe, it's not just because you're an 'outsider' '."

"Outsider Wanderer... This title really doesn't have much practical meaning. I'm just a traveler, and I don't even know where my next stop will be." Gawain laughed a bit self-deprecatingly, "But since my Once I stop here, then I have to do what I promised at the beginning, besides... this world is so dangerous, I dare not slack off casually."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then looked at Enya with a serious expression: "Tell me the truth, about the Tower Against the Tide... Are you also worried that the pollution inside has actually... "

"The little dragonborn girl was here just now, and I don't want my words to make her too nervous," the golden runes on the surface of Enya's eggshell slowed down her wandering speed, "...As you guessed, I do doubt that the inverse Unknown changes have taken place inside the Tower of Tide."

Gao Wen immediately said: "Isn't there no evidence to prove that the vision on Mordir Wilder is related to the pollution of the reverse tide? Although he did appear after approaching the tower of the reverse tide and was chased by the power of the ancient gods." signs, but the ancient god chasing him is obviously Lady Ye, not against the tide..."

"That's what I'm worried about," Enya interrupted Gawain, "The most likely opportunity for Mordir to be contaminated by the gods was the experience of stepping into the Tower Against the Tide, but now it is The Shadow Goddess, who has been missing for more than 1.8 million years, is what worries me the most."

A terrible conjecture suddenly popped up in Gao Wen's mind: "You mean..."

"Negative tide...is likely to pollute the gods," Enya said in a low voice, slowly telling the truth that stunned Gao Wen, "Even more directly, the tendency of the reverse tide to pollute the gods may be more than the tendency to pollute mortals." more obvious."

"Tendency to pollute the gods?!" Gawain's eyes widened. "Why does it have this property? Isn't its main characteristic instilling forbidden knowledge to mortals?"

Enya's voice sounded from the eggshell: "Instilling taboo knowledge into mortals is Nishio's unformed 'priesthood', which is the embodiment of his divinity, but don't forget, on what basis Nishio was born in the first place of."

"The foundation of the birth of the reverse tide..." Gao Wen understood Enya's implication after thinking for a while, "You mean... the legacy of the sailor?"

"The essence of the reverse tide is the 'divine product' of the legacy of the voyager, and the legacy left by the voyager... has one of the biggest 'missions' to deal with the gods on this planet," Enya said unhurriedly He said, "This 'mission' is very likely to become one of the essences of the reverse tide with the 'deification' of the legacy of the voyager, thus giving him the tendency to chase and infect the gods."

Gao Wen finally fully understood Enya's worries: "So... What you are most worried about after learning about Mordir's strange situation is that Ni Tide has found Lady Ye who is hiding, and is eyeing that ancient god? "

"Ms. Ye has been cut off from this world for more than 1.8 million years. Such a long time is enough to weaken the once extremely powerful ancient god. If Ni Tide wants to find a suitable prey, then Ms. Ye is obviously The best option, secondly, Ms. Ye has no real believers and messengers in this world, which means that even if something happens to her, the world will not notice it, and other gods will not pass through the believers all over the world. The Eye' learned that there is an ancient god who has been plotted against by Ni Tide, and this is a 'prey' who will not startle the snake..."

Listening to the analysis in Enya's deep voice, Gao Wen felt a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, but at the same time, doubts emerged from his heart: "Wait, didn't you say that the so-called 'God Against the Tide' is not Doesn’t he have complete reason? He doesn’t even have reason, how can He make such complicated judgments and arrangements?”

"Negative Tide does not have complete reason, so he will not make too complicated plans, but he will follow his instinct to find a way to get out of trouble or become stronger, and the instinct of a god..." Enya paused, It seems to be thinking about what kind of language can be used to explain this concept more concisely, "The instinct of a god is a more complicated thing than the instinct of a mortal, and it sometimes directly points to a 'successful result', and in order to To achieve this successful result, the gods can take a series of actions without thinking process-this is essentially a mechanism for satisfying the condition of 'responding to the wishes of believers', but in some cases, it can also make Driven by instinct, Adverse Tide completed a perfect 'predation'."

"Doesn't this mean that the Shadow Goddess is in a very dangerous situation?" Gawain was a little nervous, "So the real reason why Mordir was chased by the Shadow Goddess's power is most likely because the pollution of the reverse tide used him as a springboard Connected to Lady Ye's 'hideout'? Has he become some kind of transmission medium?"

"Now you know what I am most worried about," Enya said in a deep voice, "Once my conjecture is true, once the reverse tide really pollutes and devours an ancient god, then he will have a chance to complete the 'transformation' ', to complete the last step of 'maturity' that he failed to complete in ancient times, he will change from an unformed 'embryo' to a formed god, and this god is completely free from any priesthood and dogma, and it is also fundamentally Without the initial cognition of 'sheltering mortals'..."

Gao Wen added Enya's last sentence: "Because the mortals who need His protection... have been extinct more than one million years ago."

Enya sighed: "Let's speculate in a worse direction, maybe he will have a bit of instinct to 'shelter mortals', and then this instinct will be distorted into the impulse to 'revenge for the people'."
