Chapter 1253 "Treatment"

The ruins of the ancient city stood silently in the wind, and the dust flying up from the wasteland was carried by the wind, flapping and whistling among the distorted and weathered buildings and the rusted pipe steel beams, and in the center of the ruins of the former Magic Junction Station , the earth seemed to have been gouged out of a large piece of flesh and blood, leaving only a black pit inlaid on the cracked earth, a ball of light at the bottom of the pit was slowly surging, deep in the light was the space outlined by the dark blue webway.

It is a huge power system that exists parallel to the entire planet. It is an "internal circulation network" formed by the planet in the magical environment of the universe. Ordinary people in this era still know little about it. In Na's eyes, there are not many secrets in this huge and mysterious dark blue webway.

A deep and muffled grunt sounded along the wind. Fierna raised her head and saw two flesh-and-blood giant-like deformed bodies appearing on the edge of the pit. It swells, shrinks, and wriggles in the same way, and its body trembles every few seconds—this irrational chaotic monster seems to be still resisting the control of the external will, but their resistance is obviously useless.

A treant with dark brown twisted branches stood beside the two monsters. His crown was in a twisted and tangled state. The dry branches were entangled into a structure similar to a brain, and there were constantly flickering spots of light in the gully Wandering through the "brains" all over the place, strong mental impulses were released from it, suppressing the instinctive impulses of resistance of the two deformed bodies.

"...It's really ugly." Ferna turned her head and said something casually. Although she said something disgusting, her expression was exceptionally calm.

"Get the rune stone ready!" Another treant yelled loudly nearby, and then the intertwined roots all around the pit began to squirm, and a moment later, a huge black cube was squirmed The vines and roots were transported to the vicinity of the big pit, and then transported to the two aberrations that were being controlled.

It was a pitch-black stone about two meters long, with a fairly regular shape and a faint metallic luster. It seemed to be made of various magical materials through complex processing, and it could be seen inside each side. Runes emitting faint brilliance are constantly emerging and changing. The turbulent magic power in the wasteland interacts with those runes from time to time. Gradually dissipated in the depths of the stone.

If outsiders saw it, it would be hard to believe that such a sophisticated thing was "produced" in such a wasteland.

However, even so, the twin elves still seemed dissatisfied with the "rune stone". Leierna stared at the huge cube for a long time before shaking her head and sighing: "Oh, it's shoddy."

"Just enough." Ferna smiled, "It's not easy for them to produce such a device in such an environment."

The handover of the rune stones during the conversation has been completed,

Two ferocious and distorted mutant giants hugged a huge black cube from the creeping vines—the thing was obviously so heavy that even the powerful mutants needed to work together to hold it firmly—then The treant standing on the edge of the pit gave an order, and the bodies of the two deformed bodies trembled slightly at the same time. They roared silently, and finally took heavy steps towards the "door" at the bottom of the pit. go.

At this moment, even the elf twins, who have always been relaxed and detached, couldn't help but focus their attention on the "rune stone". A huge black cube with runes constantly wandering inside. They watched the thing approach the bottom of the pit a little bit, and watched the blue light from the dark blue network pass through the gate and shine on the surface of the rune stone.

In the next moment, the black heavy cube seemed to suddenly "live", all the runes inside it shone brightly at the same time, countless previously hidden lines established connections in the flickering, dozens of complex magic The array was activated and reorganized within a thousandth of a second, the air crackled, and the pure energy in the dark blue webway seemed to break through the balance structure near the "door", accompanied by dazzling sparks flashed suddenly, the two responsible for transporting The distortion of the rune stone instantly turned into a bright torch, which was wiped out in the violent combustion.

However, the activated rune stone also fell into the deepest part of the big pit, and fell into the space where the dark blue webway was located—the surface of the "door" rippled in circles, and in the swaying light and shadow, The tree people around only saw that the magical device that was made with great difficulty fell into a stream of light while shining with brilliance, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Leierna raised her head and looked at Grand Priest Borken, who was also staring at the bottom of the pit, with a smile on her face: "The rune stone has been placed, Grand Priest."

"...Very well, counting the experimental one before, we now have two control nodes," Borken said in a low and hoarse voice after being silent for a moment, "We still have a hundred more to be placed. .”

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, Your Excellency the Grand Priest," Ferna said with a smile, "We have now collected enough data and tested a new way to open the door, and the progress of placing the rune stone will be faster and faster—of course , I mean inside the wasteland."

"Yeah... the interior of the wasteland... but the nodes we want to control are not only inside this damn high wall," Borken stared at the elf twins in front of him with his tawny eyes, "we have to make sure that at least 70% of the Runestones work, and we've found less than half of them in the wasteland—you know what I mean."

"Of course, you will have a chance, but for that chance, you still need to accumulate some strength," Leierna said lightly, "As for the current stage, our main goal is to control all nodes inside the Great Wall Put in the rune stone, so that no matter whether the subsequent actions are smooth or not, we will have a huge force enough to reverse the situation."

Borken looked at the "elf" in front of him, and said in a deep voice after a long time, "I hope everything is as easy as you said."

...

The howling cold wind of the polar region slaps the thick and high walls of the city, but the adventurer camp under the starry night is brightly lit. The team returning after completing the mission is heading to the management center to settle the harvest and "promotion points" after a lot of hard work, and is responsible for expanding the camp. The engineering team crossed the avenue, and the engineering vehicles shipped directly from the Loren continent ran over the road. The roar of the magic engine was mixed with the voices of people in the streets and alleys-this is the daily life of this newly built town. There are sounds that can be heard, and Modil has been used to these sounds for so long after living here.

"This is a wonderful place," the great adventurer sat by the window of his hut, and said to Gawain with emotion, "This land is desolate. It can even be said that stepping out of the city gate is dangerous. There are all kinds of dangerous things on the soil, survival is the number one challenge that everyone must face, but on the other hand, these shelters built on the wasteland are full of vitality, even more than many towns of the same size in Loren Continent. It must also be alive. People pour all their hopes for survival, future and peace into these solid walls, and go out from here again and again, trying to regain civilization from the barbarism... Whenever I think of these , I would be greatly touched.”

"But in fact, most of the people you touch come here to make a fortune, and some of them are because of the mission of the alliance," Amber fiddled with a cyclone-like cloud of shadow dust in her hand, He casually said, "Apart from the volunteers from the Principality of the Holy Dragon and some aid officers and soldiers, the only ones who really care about 'civilization' and 'future' are those dragons who were born and raised in Tarrond - this is their hometown, not others of."

The great adventurer laughed and shook his head slightly: "If a cause is great and full of glory, and countless people have made great sacrifices for it, why should we bother to ask whether every name behind this cause is flawless or not? 'Saints'? In my opinion, these people traveled thousands of miles to come here, took risks to expand the borders of the safe zone, rebuild cities and factories, a glorious civilization has the hope of rising again because of them, no matter where they come Whatever the motivation for this, there should be a place for them in history."

Gawain looked at Mordir in surprise: "I thought you were just keen on taking risks, but I didn't expect you to have so much deep thinking."

"It's my honor to receive your praise," Modil said immediately, and then scratched his messy white hair, "I don't think these are very deep thoughts, I just lived here for a while , It’s just that I have some new understanding of these adventurers and their way of life... I recorded all my experiences here in my personal notebook, and when I am about to leave, I will give it to someone I trust, so that even if one day in the future I forgot the things here again, the things I have witnessed and thought about can also be handed down..."

"It's a wise move, but if everything goes well, you might not need this arrangement," Gao Wen smiled, and turned to look at Amber, "How are your preparations going?"

Amber raised her finger and shook it in mid-air, and the sand and dust danced around her fingertips as if alive: "It's ready."

Gawain nodded, and looked at Victoria, who was sitting next to him and never spoke. The latter also raised his head almost at the same time, and there was a little worry on his face that was always frosty in the past: "Amber's method is really true. Does it work?"

"Let me tell you this, I can't guarantee that I can block the connection between your ancestors and Ms. Ye's Divine Kingdom 100%. After all, that thing involves gods. It doesn't mean that I stole some sand from Ms. Ye I can deal with it when I come out, but I can guarantee that things will not be worse at least-and in theory, I can at least stabilize the big adventurer's body to a certain extent, even if he will still go 'that way' 'Slipping down, this process will be greatly prolonged, so we at least have a chance to breathe, right?"

When things came to an end, Amber didn't open her mouth as confidently as she usually did, but bluntly stated the limitations of her abilities and possible unsatisfactory consequences, and her straightforward "confession" not only did not It made Victoria feel suspicious, but the northern ruler was inexplicably relieved.

Prudent promises are more reliable than extravagant boasting, especially Miss Amber who opened the mouth—Victoria knows the Minister of Intelligence, and there is such a standard of judgment among the high-level empire: When Amber promises you casually When "this matter is settled", you have to start thinking about the consequences of things falling apart, but when she said cautiously that she was only 50% sure, it meant that she was really at least 50% sure.

Gawain's eyes swept over Victoria and Modil, and finally landed on Amber. He exhaled lightly, nodded to her and said, "Let's begin."

Amber nodded. With the experience of letting Mordir "cooperate" last time, she didn't talk nonsense this time, and her ability to perceive and control the shadow and dust was quietly activated. In an instant, Mordir Wilde was in her His eyes changed again into a strange appearance with half of his body made up of flowing sand and dust...

Gawain and Victoria watched all this nervously, but they couldn't see the "truth" that only Amber could perceive. In their eyes, Amber just stood quietly beside Mordir, raised her hand on the In the mid-air beside the old mage, some vague gray-white dust undulated around Mordir, swirling like a mist with uncertain reality-the whole process lasted for several minutes, and there was no mystery in it. Can't see it at all.

If it wasn't for the mutual understanding to a certain extent, Gao Wen would definitely suspect that the Shadow Assault Goose used a bunch of light and shadow special effects to fool him, just to deceive Victoria back then. drink...

At this moment, Amber suddenly withdrew her hand, and the shadows and dust that appeared and disappeared in the air disappeared. She slapped her hands and exhaled, and said with a smile on her face, "Okay, it's done."

"Is this over again?" The first person to speak was Modil, who was the person involved. He still didn't feel any changes in himself, but looked at Amber in confusion, who seemed to have put in a lot of effort just now. He looked down at his body again, "I still don't feel anything..."

"You won't feel it, just like you haven't felt anything wrong with your body in the past six centuries-the power of 'mutation' has completely become a part of your life, like your breath and heartbeat Inseparable, any 'operation' I do to you will naturally take this into consideration, so you will definitely not feel it," Amber looked at the great adventurer and explained with an expression of "I understand", " It would be really bad if you really felt abnormal changes in your body."

Hearing what Amber said, Modil was a little nervous instead: "...What if I feel abnormal changes in my body?"

Amber blurted out without much thought: "I'll hug Victoria's leg and let her do it softly. It's best to give it another chance..."

Mordir: "...?"

"Don't worry, she's always been like this," Gao Wen knew from Amber's mouth full of running the train that her operation must have ended smoothly, and he couldn't help but smile on his face while he heaved a sigh of relief, "Get up and move around, Make sure there is really no discomfort, and we will continue to discuss your matter."

"Well, I feel pretty good..." Modil nodded, stood up while talking, and moved his joints a little, but just when the great adventurer wanted to say something However, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and his eyes widened immediately, staring straight at a certain direction.

When Amber saw the situation, she jumped up instantly, slid on her knees and rushed towards Victoria...
