Chapter 1240 Sentry?

The majestic giant sun sinks towards the distant horizon, and the corona covered with light wood grains has only a narrow arc edge left, and the halo rising from the edge of the corona diffuses in the background of the clouds, just like the sky. A sea of ​​flames burned blazingly in the last tens of minutes of the day, and under the afterglow of the setting sun that spread, the whole city in Gao Wen's eyes seemed to be submerged in a sea of ​​golden red.

He stood at the end of the terrace, overlooking the direction of the dark mountains. The cold wind approaching winter was blowing from the side, and the guard soldiers' passwords during the dusk drill were faintly carried in the wind. In this rare and slightly leisurely moment, He was quietly thinking about the plan to counterattack the wasteland and the next journey to Tarrond—until a familiar breath suddenly appeared in his perception, which interrupted his healthy and divergent thoughts.

He looked in the direction of the breath according to his feeling, and saw a distorted shadow quickly forming in the air, and Amber jumped out of the shadow, and came to him after a few hops—the next second, this time The very personal and penetrating beep of the Shadow Assault Goose breaks the silence on the terrace at dusk:

"Hey! Something happened, something happened! I told you something big! It seemed that I might have accidentally run into Ms. Ye's Divine Kingdom just now..."

Gao Wen's thoughts and the tranquility on the terrace were shattered at the same time. The shocking information that Amber yelled made him froze on the spot. It took him ten seconds to finally react, and he stared dumbfounded. The naughty half-elf in front of him: "Ah?! What did you say?! Say it again?!"

"I just thought maybe maybe maybe..."

"Delete this bunch of particles!"

"I was studying the sand just now, and I somehow ran into Ms. Ye's divine kingdom..." Amber shrank her neck suddenly, her face was full of "I made a big death just now, but I didn't die, but now you found out that I am still alive." Very nervous" expression, "Fortunately I didn't see the god directly..."

"You studied those 'shadow dusts'... and you have researched yourself to the Kingdom of Shadow God?" Gawain finally confirmed that he did not have auditory hallucinations just now, and repeated it again with his eyes wide open, before he took a deep breath and let himself The soaring blood pressure and heart rate slowly bounced back—this skinny and jumping half-elf hadn't exerted such a power to make people's blood pressure soar for a long time, so much so that he almost forgot that if this guy was left alone, it would be fine. No matter how big things happened, at this moment, he was glad that his body was strong enough, otherwise, when Hu Po opened his mouth, his heart and brain vessels would collapse, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Ah, that's how it is..." Amber hurriedly nodded and opened her mouth quickly, telling the whole story of her recent experience before Gao Wen took out something casually and slapped herself on the wall—she tried to show her fearlessness She has an exploratory spirit and emphasizes that she really just wants to do some research on those shadows and dust. It is an accident beyond her own control to stray into the Kingdom of God, but obviously, her worries are completely unnecessary.

Gao Wen didn't care about these details at all, and he didn't intend to beat Amber up from the beginning. After all, he gave the shadow dust to Amber to study, and any accident during the research process can't be regarded as a "responsible accident." "Instead of investigating whether the Shame of All Things was not cautious enough or overly careless in the research process, he is now more concerned about the series of information-heavy content mentioned by the other party when describing Lady Ye's kingdom of God!

"Have you seen the source of the voice that Mordir Wilde heard? Is that a book? And that book calls itself 'Wild', and doesn't know the name 'Modir'?"

"Is there no one on Lady Ye's throne? That book said that she might have gone to the 'border' to deal with 'trouble'? There is trouble at the border of the Shadow God Kingdom... Could it be the pollution we are worried about?"

"You said Ms. Ye often dreams? The way to escape from the Kingdom of Shadow God is to jump from a high place, just like waking up from a dream?"

"Be careful of the sentry? Be careful of what kind of sentry? Wilder doesn't even know it? The whole book is filled with such endless warnings?"

The more Gao Wen listened, the more frightened he became, and his eyes opened wider and wider. Accompanied by Amber's extremely clear and complete narration, a series of significant information even made him feel a little dazed. During the whole process, he took advantage of Amber's pause more than once to confirm some details, and every detail of his doubts was quickly supplemented by the other party.

No matter how unreliable her usual performance is, Amber is his intelligence chief after all, and she has grown up in the past few years. She is meticulous in such a serious and serious matter, and her description of every detail is extraordinarily accurate And covered all the important points, after she finally finished speaking, Gawain had fully understood the whole process of her incredible adventure.

"You have really had an incredible experience..." On the terrace at dusk, Gawain looked at Amber with a helpless expression, "I really didn't expect that I didn't see you in the middle of the afternoon. Such an astonishing thing..."

"That's not what I thought." Amber was more helpless than Gao Wen. "To be honest, I was almost scared to death. You don't know how extreme methods I used to control my reason and avoid being bullied." Some indescribable things in the Kingdom of God are polluted..."

"I know from your expression that this 'extreme means' is not very serious," Gao Wen immediately waved his hand, "Let's talk about the business first, first of all about the...'book' you saw over there, except Apart from calling himself Wilder, do you have any clues to explain the connection between him and the real Mordir Wilder?"

"No, I just chatted with him 'over there', where there's no end to the desert except for the big scary throne altar, and a talking book - no clues at all I found out," Amber shook her head, and then showed a thoughtful expression, "there is a great adventurer named Modil in the real world, who looks like a normal person, wandering around the world, Ms. Ye In the Kingdom of God, there was a great adventurer named Wilder, who was turned into a book and placed in front of the throne of the gods. This matter sounds much more bizarre than the story of the bard... Tell me, Mordir What the hell happened to Wilder?"

"I don't know," Gao Wen frowned, with many speculations in his mind, "It sounds like he was split into two parts, and these two parts have a surname and a first name, but who knows how all this happened ? According to the existing clues, it seems that Ms. Ye is the root of all this... But I always feel that something is wrong..."

"I don't think it's right either," Amber nodded, "From Wilder's few words, I speculate that he also entered the 'misplaced kingdom' by accident, and Ms. Ye didn't seem to take the initiative to participate in all of this... Although not Excluding that ancient god is hiding something from Wilder, but for a god... Isn't this kind of concealment unnecessary? He can't just find someone to tell himself a story, right?"

"Storytelling... By the way, this is still a problem," Gawain said with a serious expression, "Maggie mentioned that after Mordill strayed into 'over there' several times, he heard the 'other self' talking to Ms. Ye told stories, and Ms. Ye exchanged what she saw in her dreams. But when Modil returned to the real world, no matter how much he recalled, he couldn’t remember the content of the dream described by Ms. Ye. Have you heard about this? Ask about that book? What is Ms. Ye's dream?"

"I haven't had time to ask," Amber shook her head regretfully, "I was suddenly 'thrown' back to the real world, and there were too many things I wanted to ask at the time, so I didn't think about it for a while. I only know that The Shadow Goddess seems to be in a 'dream-making' state for a long time, and her 'dream' will not be interrupted even when she is awake or asleep. I can't imagine what it is like, the things of the gods are really too difficult to understand."

"Enya once told me that the "dreams" of the gods are by no means pure dreams. As beings born from the trend of thought, all the thinking activities of the gods can actually be regarded as the result of mutual reflection with the real world, even if they have broken away from the trend of thought, Gods who have gained freedom will have inextricably linked dreams with the real world," Gao Wen touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "It is precisely because of this layer of reflection that gods will consciously control themselves In order to prevent the power from getting out of control and escaping - in this regard, Amoen, Mirmina and Enya who are now free are actually no exception.

"But I don't know if the Shadow Goddess is also affected by this rule. After all, she has been away from this world for too long, and the thought trend of more than 1.8 million years has been isolated... enough to make her a reality that is almost the same as ours. There is no 'extraterrestrial creature' associated with it, and it is completely unknown how much disturbance her dreams can cause on our side."

Amber blinked suddenly when she heard this, and raised her eyebrows at Gao Wen: "That's an extraterritorial wanderer than you, an 'extraterritorial wanderer', who wanders to nowhere... The difference is that you are here to scare people , people, that is true."

Gawain slammed a chestnut on the half-elf's head in an instant: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."

What a clever half-elf, it's a pity that he has a mouth.jpg.

Amber hugged her head hard after being knocked, she said "Mom" and then fell silent, while Gao Wen shook his head, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart.

The problem of the dream of the gods, the problem of the reflection of the trend of thought... these are the two most impressive rules in this world, and even made him resist and bewildered for a while in the early days-all these subverted his understanding of "" The cognition of the "material world" blurs the boundary between matter and consciousness. For a soul that travels from the earth, the situation presented... is almost absurd and chaotic.

However, this world does work like this. Spirit can affect matter, and matter can affect spirit. The two can not only reflect each other, but can even transform each other when the conditions are right. Changing the form of matter, or the projection of mortal thoughts to create gods, or the spiritual radiation of gods changing reality out of thin air... All these "unreasonable" phenomena for the people on earth have the same essence behind them.

Sometimes Gao Wen couldn't help but think... If there is a theory that can explain this phenomenon of mutual influence and even transformation between spirit and matter... maybe it is equivalent to explaining the "underlying truth" of this world.

Could this theory be hiding in the truth of magic? Or will it hide in a deeper realm that mortals have not yet imagined?

He accidentally fell into thought, but soon a voice woke him up from his contemplation: "Hey, hey, are you distracted again?"

Gao Wen woke up suddenly, and saw a small palm waving vigorously in front of his eyes, he looked up at the owner of the palm, and Hu Po hugged his head again in an instant: "I knocked it just now! One mistake is not worth typing a second time!"

"All right, all right, let's get down to business," Gao Wen waved his hand, and said while reorganizing his thoughts, "Leave the matter of Wilder and Ms. Ye aside for now, I'm more concerned about the 'sentry' you just mentioned at the end... What the hell does sentinel mean?"

"I don't know, there are too many possible explanations for just such a warning," Amber shook her head, "But one thing is for sure, this warning is absolutely very, very important, otherwise it wouldn't fill the entire book— ——It is such a special 'book'."

"Sentry, what it refers to is probably some kind of 'guard', and this guard should be an extremely powerful and dangerous existence, or what it guards is very dangerous, and it may spread pollution and turn the sentinel into a source of danger Maybe," Gao Wen said thoughtfully, "according to this standard, the personnel of the Dragon Clan responsible for monitoring the Tower Against the Tide can be regarded as 'sentinels', and the Iron Man Corps deep in the wasteland of Gondor can also be regarded as 'sentinels' , even the sentinel towers set up by the elves on the grand wall nodes are 'sentinels', and no matter which one of these sentries goes wrong, it is a crisis worthy of vigilance, but I think it is the same as Wilder's 'book' None of this is up to the page-wide 'Beware of the Sentry' warnings."

Amber frowned slightly: "Not qualified?"

Gao Wen didn't explain further, but just had more thoughts in his mind——

In addition to the things he just mentioned, there are actually existences that can be called "sentinels" in this world.

Those surveillance satellites hanging high in the sky, and the orbiting space station "Sky" orbiting the planet.

These Voyager Legacy, which is used to monitor the status of the planets, keep an eye on the magic tide and the gods, they seem to be more suitable to be called "sentinels" than everything he mentioned just now, and if something goes wrong with these things, And indeed quite "qualified" to raise the highest level of warning.

But how can these things go wrong? Although they have indeed been in disrepair for a long time, they are just tombstones that gradually lose their function and become floating in space. Gawain can understand the status of most of them, and can confirm that there is no possibility of losing control of those satellites and space stations. , And even taking a step back, they fell out of control and fell to the ground... For the civilization on this planet today, is a bunch of satellites and space stations smashed from orbit, no matter how "careful" it is, is it useful?

Even the dragon god in its heyday said it couldn't handle that thing.

In Gao Wen's view, since the word "be careful of sentries" is mentioned in the warning that Amber saw, it means that for dangerous "sentinels", mortals' "be careful" is useful, otherwise it would be There is no need to warn, the people of the whole world just lie down together...
