Chapter 1255 "The Door"

Early the next morning, Gawain and Amber came to the highest chamber of Agondor. They had already decided to leave for the west coast in advance to confirm the situation of the tower.

The polar night is still going on, so even during a theoretical "day" the sun still hovers below the horizon with only a dim glow coming from the far end of the plain. The brilliance of the magic spar lamp illuminated the corridor. The black dragon girl Koreta walked in front of Gawain and Amber. The footsteps of the three echoed in this slightly empty place—they came to the door of Heragor's office. .

A short, red-haired young woman from the dragon tribe opened the door and came out. She was a little surprised to glance at Gao Wen and the others who had appeared here early in the morning, and then her gaze fell on the black dragon Keleta. After saying hello briefly, the young female dragon hurriedly left the corridor.

"That's Belranta, the caretaker who is in charge of taking care of the young dragon..." After the other party left, Coretta showed a somewhat curious expression, and muttered softly, "Why did she come to meet the leader at this time..."

Immediately afterwards, she shook her head, put the episode aside for the time being, and stepped forward to help Gao Wen open the door of the office: "Please come in, the leader is already waiting for the two of you inside."

Gawain and Amber stepped into Heragor's office. Under the bright light, they saw the dragon leader sitting behind the desk, but to their surprise, another familiar figure was also in the room .

Melita Pernia, she was standing not far from the desk. When Gawain and the two walked in, the Miss Blue Dragon also turned her head at the same time, her eyes collided with Gawain. The expression looks a little surprised.

But today Gao Wen came here first to discuss important matters with Heragor, so he simply greeted Melita, and then set his sights on the leader of the Dragon Clan behind the table—with blond hair and elegant demeanor The former Dragon Priest was looking up, he smiled at Gao Wen, and then his expression became serious: "Is it related to the Tower Against the Tide?"

Before Gao Wen could speak, surprise appeared on his face, he raised his eyebrows: "How did you know I was going to say this?"

"It seems that I guessed it right," Heragor said in a deep voice, but his expression became more serious, "Please sit down, let me tell you about your situation first, why did you decide to leave early? It is the great adventurer. The situation has changed? Are there new clues pointing to the tower?"

Gawain glanced at Amber next to him, then sat down on the armchair beside the desk, and said with a solemn expression: "Amber has performed 'treatment' on Mordir, and through her unique talent in the shadow field, we can find a way Controlled the process of 'alienation' on Mordir. Although the mechanism is unknown, we may have activated part of the missing memory of the great adventurer by coincidence—he mentioned the tower,

And... mentioned a 'loophole'. "

Heragor frowned instantly: "A loophole?"

Gawain nodded, and explained in detail what happened to Mordir, he did not miss any details, especially those things mentioned by Mordir in a state of confusion—although the great adventurer said Many of the things mentioned seemed incomprehensible to Gawain and Amber, but if it was Heragor, maybe this "half god" who had lived for a long time could hear some clues from those fragmented descriptions.

"He recalled that tower..." After listening to Gawain's narration, Heragor's brows furrowed further, and he spoke slowly in his thoughts, "And it sounds like he recalled not only that tower, There seems to be another place that is closely connected with that tower in his memory..."

"Yes, he mentioned 'another entrance'," Gawain nodded, "neither Amber nor I understood what he was referring to, nor did he himself—but according to the information we have so far, Mordir Wilder’s trip to Tarrond only went to the Tower of Against the Tide, and then he was sent back to Loren Continent by the Dragon God. After that, he never mentioned anything related to the Tower of Against the Tide in his travel notes Relevant records, unless... the 'another entrance' he was referring to was on the continent of Loren, and his journey to the other entrance took place long after leaving Tarrond—in his handed down book The period not recorded in the "Modir's Travels"."

"Entrance...holes...the key is what these words mean," Heragor said in a low tone, "he must have seen something in that tower, and what he saw was hidden from the people of the past." ...the gods."

"That's exactly what I'm going to confirm in that tower," Gawain nodded and said, "Arrange our journey to the Western Continent as soon as possible, the sooner the better—according to the previous timetable, the Winter is coming soon. , it will stop directly on the sea between the Tower of the Against Tide and the west coast to meet us. In addition, I also need you to arrange some dragons with strong fighting power to serve as backup. The Winter can serve as an outpost for the giant dragon in human form. It can also provide fire support - if it is a 'pollution' related to the gods, I can try to solve it, and if some of the more conventional 'hostile units' emerge from that tower, we may need the cover of the dragon troops."

"Are you planning...to 'fight' against the legacy left by the voyager?" Heragor glanced at Gawain in surprise.

"Just in case, what if some out-of-control ancient weapon emerges from that tower? To deal with that kind of thing, regular troops should still be able to come in handy," Gawain shook his head, "But if the situation is really completely out of control , then the conventional forces are definitely not the opponent - I have to resort to some 'ultimate measures'."

Heragor took a deep look at Gawain - he knew what the "ultimate means" the other party was talking about.

"I will arrange it immediately," the dragon leader said in a low tone. "In fact, I have already started to arrange it before you come here-Melita will go with you, and bring the current Agondor The most elite fighters."

Gawain remembered that Heragor had taken the initiative to bring up the Tower Against the Tide as soon as he entered the door, and then he glanced at Melita thoughtfully: "It seems that you also found something here... what happened? What's wrong?"

"Dragonling," Melita exhaled softly, and said with a hint of worry in her expression, "Last night, it seemed that Meili and Noelle were attracted by some invisible force, facing the tower of the Tower Against the Tide. Fang Xiang yelled loudly for a long time, and then the 'magic marks' on their bodies nearly doubled overnight..."

"Two little guys?!" Gao Wen was a little nervous for a moment. After all, he watched the two young dragons grow up, so he was naturally concerned at the moment, "Are they okay?"

"Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any problem with the body," Melita nodded and said, "and the situation has stabilized in the morning, but what is disturbing is... the two of them are not the only ones who have problems."

Amber on the side couldn't help interjecting when she heard this: "It's not just the two of them?"

"The same thing happened to all the young dragons with the 'Dark Blue Demon Mark' on their bodies," Heragor's voice came from the side, his voice was low and powerful, "at the same time, the same 'symptom': the marks on their bodies The scale was enlarged, as if it was resonating with some invisible source of power, and it was restless towards the direction of the Tower Against the Tide. It was not until the morning that the situation gradually stabilized. Although there is no problem with the body, but..."

The leader of the dragon tribe put his hands on the table, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and looked at Gao Wen with a particularly solemn expression: "At first, we thought that those magic marks appeared only because the dragon eggs were affected by the surge of magic power inside the dark blue webway. 'mark' on the whelpling, but now I have to suspect... there's a deeper reason for that thing to be there."

"When did the abnormal state of the young dragon begin?" Amber suddenly asked Melita.

"I knew you would ask this," Melita nodded, "It's almost after you guys finished the 'treatment' of Mr. Modill."

"...Okay, then this matter is 'interesting'." The corners of Amber's mouth trembled, "Tell me, when are we going to leave?"

Melita took a breath, looked at Amber and Gao Wen: "Now."

...

At the same time, the buffer plain on the border between Typhon and Cecil, the Fort of the Treaty.

The bright arcane flames gushed out from the tops of the three energy towers, and were gathered and focused under the action of a series of restraint devices and diversion devices, and then poured into the energy conduits and magic energy crystals. The energy device floated slowly in the morning light, and began to spin with a low hum.

The cold and swift wind blows from the direction of the northern mountains, but before approaching the Fort of the Contract, they will be deflected and dispelled by the huge energy field circulating here, turning into disordered turbulence, and sweeping wantonly in the wilderness near the castle ——Sand dust and dry grass blades were rolled into the air, roaring and circling in the desolate wilderness, and in the face of this sudden change of celestial phenomena, the birds and beasts living in the wilderness had already taken refuge in advance.

Since the second era of pioneering, the most powerful and purest energy system created by human beings has been successfully ignited in the depths of this cold plain. The huge energy unimaginable by the mages of the old era gathered here. And began to be guided to the center of the entire facility according to the plan, leading to the portal placed in the main hall of the castle, as well as layer after layer of protective barriers around the portal and... fuse units.

In the main hall of the castle, various magical devices have been activated, and the giant magic array covering the entire floor and the entire dome is emitting a constant and gentle radiance; the walls around the hall are distributed with orderly energy conduits, one after another Pure arcane flames flow endlessly in those energy conduits, and silver-white alloy "magic rails" extend from under the floor, connecting those energy conduits and the power center buried underground; more than ten control nodes are distributed In various areas of the hall, the bases of those nodes are made of expensive and precise alloys, above which floats magic crystals or magic terminals that can be used to monitor the portal.

The busy technicians are busy or passing through these devices that are daunting to ordinary people, checking all the systems for the last time, and Kamel is floating in front of the portal. Feng's legendary mage Windsor Maple.

Command voices came from all over the hall:

"All energy towers have been successfully ignited! The output power has reached the standard value - the readings of the arcane energy conduit are stable!"

"The state of the power rail is normal, the connection of each energy rail is normal, the primary conversion is normal, and the secondary conversion is normal!"

"The inverter array is on standby, ready to withstand the impact of divine power at any time..."

"The protection systems are normal—the mental protection system has been activated, the human barrier has been activated, and it has been connected to the neural network... After receiving the identification code of the Cecil Empire Computing Center, the signal feedback is normal!"

"The psychic singer is on standby..."

Kamel raised his head slightly, and the successive voices of passwords seemed to be fading away. He looked at the portal that had entered the "warm-up" state, and saw bright lights jumping between its curved skeletons. The blue fire light, and the alloy ring full of runes is slowly floating to the top of the gate. In the slightly distorted light and shadow in the center of the device, he seems to see some pictures that have long been buried in the depths of his memory. The figure of the world...

"Finally..." Windsor Mapel's voice came from the side, with unconcealable excitement and emotion in his tone, "We have finally waited for this day... two hundred years, and Typhon has been silently preparing for it for two hundred years ..."

"The disobedient has been waiting for a thousand years for this day, ma'am," the yellowed images in Kamel's mind gradually dissipated. The pioneers who have struggled and failed in the past seasons of civilization, the group of 'mortals' will probably wait longer for this day."

Windsor Mapel nodded slightly, and her eyes looked at the wonderful runes set up on the ground near the portal, the magic net terminals set up in every corner of the hall, and those who were waiting not far away, wearing Soldiers Cecil with strange light armor floating in the air couldn't help asking: "Can these protections resist the 'pollution' that may occur during the experiment?"

"Theoretically, the god of war kingdom is 'harmless' to us mortals this season, even if we face the body of the god of war now, we won't be polluted," Kamel said seriously, "of course, if you say it's an accident ——We must always be prepared for the unexpected. These protective runes have been tried and tested, and your majesty can confirm their effects, and those magic net terminals can broadcast the "psychic song" constantly echoing in the neural network to the entire Experimental facility, this kind of penetrating psychic shock has a more active and powerful purification and protection effect than protective runes, and those soldiers... They are psychic singers, specially trained to fight against divinity Polluted special units, on the battlefield of Winterhold, they have directly confronted the divine power of the God of War, and they have been tested in actual combat."

Listening to Kamel's narration, Windsor Mapel nodded slowly, but she still couldn't help but look at the positions of those "psychic singers" and at the floating behind them with a diameter of several Mi, a strange floating device tightly wrapped by a layer of metal shell, his brows could not help but frowned: "What is that thing? Is it also a part of the defense system? I haven't seen any description about it in the previous materials." ..."

"Ma'am, this is classified content—even if we are working closely together, some things are not easy to disclose." Kamel's voice seemed to have a hint of a smile, "I can only tell you that that thing is spiritual. An important support for the singers to play a role, and also a good partner of our Cecils - if the cooperation between our two countries can be closer and the technical exchanges in the future can be further improved, they may appear on our trade list Come on, when the time comes, you will naturally know what it is."
