Chapter 1237
Direct contact with shadow dust.
Of course, Amber did not do this simply because she was overheated. Although she usually has a naughty and jumpy personality, her strength of cowardice is beyond the reach of others. Cherishing life and avoiding danger has been her survival principle for so many years—if she is not sure Well, she wouldn't casually come into contact with such unknown things.
Others have already touched these shadow dusts, whether it was Mordill himself who brought them out at first, or Victoria and Maggie who were responsible for collecting and transporting samples later, they have all touched these sands, and they did not show any symptoms afterward. What is unusual? Facts have proved that although these things may be related to gods, they are not as harmful to ordinary people as other god relics. It is no problem to touch them.
These thoughts quickly turned in my mind, and Huber's fingers had already touched the gray-white grains of sand—such a small thing, there was hardly any tactile sensation on her fingers.
Amber blinked, looking at her fingertips, a small grain of sand stuck to her skin, and the grayish-white edges trembled and spread over her fingertips like mist.
"There's really no response..." She muttered to herself, shaking off the sand with her hands, and leaned back lazily—but the expected touch of leaning on the back of the chair did not come, and she She just felt that she suddenly lost her center of gravity, her whole body fell backwards, and the chair under her body suddenly disappeared—everything in front of her was shaking in disorder, and all this happened so fast that she didn't even have time to exclaim , I felt like I fell firmly on a piece of sand.
"Oh my god..." It was not until this time that Amber's exclamation sounded half a beat later, and the short exclamation spread far away in the endless desert.
A dry breeze was blowing from a distance, and the texture of sand and dust was underneath her body. Amber stared wide-eyed and looked around, and saw an endless gray-white desert stretching in her sight, and the sky in the distance was pale. Everything she sees is only three tones of black, white and gray - she is all too familiar with this kind of scenery.
"Eh..." Hu Po got up from the ground, and those gray-white sands fell from her body one after another. She was stunned for a moment, and then she muttered guiltily, "Isn't it inappropriate to die today..."
Although she was muttering so much, the nervous look on her face dissipated slightly, because she found that the familiar feeling of being able to control herself and her surroundings in the shadow world was the same as before, and the "connection" from the real world was never After disconnecting, she can still go back outside at any time, and she doesn't know if it's an illusion, she even feels that her perception and control of the shadow power is much stronger than usual.
In addition, the environment here is indeed the Shadow Realm she is most familiar with. Her good condition and familiarity with the environment made her calm down quickly.
Just stay calm, be calm,
The nervous vigilance in her heart did not dare to diminish at all. She still remembered the information Maggie brought, and the other party's description of this gray-white desert—this place is very likely to be the kingdom of the Goddess of Shadow, even if it is not the kingdom of God. It is also a different space similar to it, and for ordinary people, this kind of place itself means danger.
This danger is caused by the essence of divinity, and has nothing to do with whether she is "Shadow God's Chosen".
Amber took a deep breath, her cognition of "Shadow God's Chosen" was as firm as ever, and then she began to look around, trying to find the things Maggie described in this vast desert—the mountain-like A huge throne, or the ruins of a city like a black silhouette in the distance.
However, she looked around, and found nothing in her sight except the gray-white sand and some strange black stones scattered on the desert.
"Strange..." Amber couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Didn't Maggie say that there is a throne or altar as big as a mountain here..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of the wind, a gust of wind that came from nowhere suddenly swept past her, and the monstrous gray-white dust was blown up by the wind, rumbling in front of her like a mountain rising from the sky Long ran over, and this terrifying scene that covered the sky and the sun caused Hu Po to rush out for more than ten meters in an instant with a "Oh my God". Head, and made a plan to run back to the real world once the sandstorm really crushes it.
However, she didn't feel the sand falling on her body. The rumbling noise came and went faster. After a while, she felt that the sound in her ears disappeared, and the oppressive feeling brought by the monstrous sand and dust also followed. After disappearing, she kept squatting on the ground with her head in her arms and waited for several seconds before she dared to stand up slowly and turn her head.
She saw a huge throne standing in front of her eyes. The bottom of the throne was like a collapsed ancient altar. The collapsed and broken stone pillars were scattered around the throne, and each pillar was bigger than anything she had ever seen in her life. The thickest tower is even more spectacular, and near the altar of the throne, you can see the broken slate floor and various scattered and damaged objects, each of which is huge and exquisite, like a fragmented heritage in an era that has been forgotten by the world presented before her eyes.
Amber stared at all this with wide-eyed eyes, and even forgot to breathe for a moment. It took her a long time to wake up, and vaguely realized that the appearance of this throne was most likely related to her "idea" just now.
"That is to say..." She muttered in a low voice, and slowly turned her head to look across from the throne. Now she is no longer the little thief who knew nothing many years ago. This kind of information allowed her to accumulate extensive occult knowledge, so facing the strange situation at the moment, she quickly had a preliminary conception, "These things are already here, but before I realized them, they were nothing to me. Invisible? Or..."
She looked at the endless desert in the distance, and recalled Maggie's description in her mind: There was a black silhouette on the opposite side of the desert, which looked like a city ruin, and Ms. Ye sat on the slope as if watching the ruins forever. On the decadent throne...
The desert in the distance seemed to have changed faintly. The hazy sand and dust rose from the end of the horizon, and black silhouettes began to emerge in the meantime. However, just before those shadows were about to condense, Amber suddenly reacted and tried her best to control it. She recalled her own associations with those "city silhouettes"—because she suddenly remembered that there was not only a city ruin, but also a crazy, twisted, indescribably terrifying monster!
"I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore, if I think about it, I don't know what will appear... As long as you can't see that kind of thing, it's fine, as long as you can't see it, it's fine, don't see it, don't see it..." Hu Po Breaking out in a cold sweat, the knowledge about divine pollution was frantically alarming in her mind, but the more she tried to control her thoughts, the more the thoughts about "city silhouette" and "twisted and chaotic meat" stopped in her mind. It kept popping up, and in desperation, she bit her tongue hard, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind——
"Let the function y=f(x) be in a certain interval..."
Amber desperately recalled the "Ultimate Horror, Darkness, Nightmare, This World's Darkness, Eternal Uncleanness, and Shocking Book" that she saw in Gao Wen's study room. As soon as she recalled the beginning, she felt that her mind was blank—don't say anything. There are city silhouettes and indescribable pieces of meat, she almost forgot her own name...
"Huh... so dangerous... Fortunately, this thing works."
The half-elf lady patted her chest, and glanced into the distance with lingering fear, and saw that the shadow that had just emerged from the end of the dust had indeed retreated to the "invisible place", and this confirmed her guess just now : In this weird "Shadow Realm Space", the state of certain things is related to the observer's own "cognition", and she, a "special observer" who has a long history with the Shadow Realm, can control it to a certain extent The range that you can "see".
As for certain things related to divinity, as long as they cannot be seen, touched, or heard, as long as they do not appear in the cognition of the observer, then there will be no contact and influence.
"Unbelievable... Is this the authority of the Shadow Goddess? Or do all the kingdoms of God have this characteristic?"
Amber muttered in a low voice. In fact, she didn't usually have the habit of talking to herself, but in this too quiet desert, she had to rely on this kind of talking to herself to calm her nervousness. Then she withdrew her gaze into the distance, and to prevent herself from accidentally thinking about things she shouldn't think about again, she forced herself to turn her gaze to the huge throne.
On the throne, she didn't see the mountainous figure that Maggie mentioned could cover the sky by standing up.
"This should be the place Mordir saw in the 'dream'..." Amber muttered inwardly, "According to Maggie, the Shadow Goddess is sitting on this throne... Where is she?"
Standing under the throne, she raised her head with difficulty, and the mottled ancient boulder and the altar were reflected in her amber eyes. She stared blankly for a long while, and couldn't help but whisper softly: "The Shadow Goddess... This place is really a shadow." Is it the kingdom of the goddess?"
She looked at her side, a broken boulder that fell off a certain pillar was stuck in the nearby sand, and there were thick and beautiful lines on the boulder. It has been standing here for many years. Scales seem to have lost their usefulness here. Thoughtful, Hu Po stretched out her hand to touch the pale stone, only to feel a cold touch, and a... emptiness.
She is the Shadow God Chosen.
She had heard the voice of the Shadow Goddess more than once.
That voice is warm and bright, without the slightest hint of "darkness" or "coldness". That voice will tell her many happy things, and it will patiently listen to her complaining about the distress and difficulties of life, although the frequency of this voice has become more and more frequent in the past two years. There are fewer and fewer, but she can be sure that the feeling brought by the "Goddess of Shadow" is completely different from this barren and desolate desert.
The lingering atmosphere in this desert...is not from the Shadow Goddess, at least not from the "Shadow Goddess" she is familiar with.
But this desert still gave her a very familiar feeling, not only familiar, but also very kind.
Amber took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the throne, she climbed up the huge stones around the fallen altar at the bottom of the throne, and crossed the huge gap between the stones that seemed to be a gap-the size of the throne So large that even if she had stood beside its pedestal before, it would have been a long and arduous climb to actually reach the foot of the throne.
She didn't know what she wanted to do, she felt that she probably just wanted to know what she could see from the direction of the throne, or maybe she just wanted to see if there was any different scenery on the throne, she felt that she was really daring—— The owner of the throne is not here now, but she might show up sometime, but she still dares to do this kind of thing.
But she still climbed towards the throne unswervingly, as if something there was calling her.
But just when she finally arrived at the foot of the throne and began to climb its body covered with ancient mysterious lines, a voice suddenly came from not far away, scaring her almost to the point of rolling back to the original path——
"Little girl, what are you doing?"
Amber was startled immediately, and she sat down on the ground as soon as she let go of her hands. The next second, she jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and immediately hid behind the nearest boulder—she still wanted to Using the Shadow Step to hide in the Shadow Realm, I realized that I am now in a different space that is suspected to be the Shadow Realm. The shadows around me only flickered for a moment, and then disappeared into the air without a sound.
She felt her heart beating, and she looked out to pay attention to the movement outside. After a while, the voice came to her ears again: "Little girl, did I scare you?"
It was an elderly voice, gentle and kind, without any hostility. Although only the voice was heard, Amber immediately imagined the figure of a kind old man standing in the distance in her mind, and she immediately began Maggie to provide information, and quickly corresponded to the voice Mordir Wilde heard in the "dream".
The Shadow Goddess is not on the throne, but that voice that is exactly the same as Mordir is?
Amber quickly regained her composure, and roughly determined that the other party should not be hostile, and then she dared to poke her head out, looking for the source of the voice.
"Little girl, I'm here, do you see it? There's a pillar here..."
The voice sounded again, and Amber finally found the source of the voice. She settled down and walked over there, but the other party greeted her with a smile: "Ah, I didn't expect to see guests here." , and seems to be a normal-thinking guest, although I heard that a very small number of intelligent creatures have occasionally strayed here, but I have never seen it since I came here... What's your name?"
"Amber," said casually, staring at the top of the one-meter-high stone pillar, "Who are you?"
"You can call me Wilder," said the old and kindly voice, "I'm just a useless old man."
Amber took a deep breath, not daring to relax at all: "Mortil Wilde? Are you that great adventurer?"
"I don't know what Mordir you're talking about, my name is Wilder, and I'm indeed an adventurer," the great adventurer who called himself Wilder said happily, "I really didn't expect...do you know me? "
"I don't know you, but I know you," Amber said cautiously, then raised her finger and pointed at the other party, "And I have a question, why are you...a book?"
