Chapter 1260: A Familiar Scene

Under the starry sky of the polar night, the giant steel island that has been silent for nearly two million years, the mottled ancient prehistoric civilization creations, the steel road that stretches straight in the dark—and the self-activated street lights.

Amber disappeared in front of Gao Wen with a groan, and it took half a minute before she revealed half of her head in the shadow gap in the air, looking at the movement outside in fear, looking around and muttering cautiously: "Nothing came out?"

Gawain held the pioneer long sword in one hand, stepped forward to pull Amber out of the shadow rift, and at the same time kept vigilant about the surroundings and said in a low voice: "No... but it seems that something here has noticed our arrival……"

The top of the battle staff in Mordir's hand was condensed with strands of magical light flow. The old mage had covered himself with at least dozens of layers of protection in the half a second just now, and it was accumulated in the staff at this time. The remaining energy was dissipating into the atmosphere little by little, and he watched the movement in the steel ruins vigilantly. After hearing Gao Wen's words, he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited and murmured: "Such an ancient The ruins can still be 'alive'... I have never seen such a bizarre thing in my life!"

Gawain glanced at the old mage, but before he could speak, Modir muttered again: "Oh, I may not have seen it... Maybe I have seen it many times, but I forgot..."

"You are really proficient at this." Gawain casually said something to ease the atmosphere, and then he refocused on the ancient ruins in front of him - those balls of light rising from the metal pillars beside the road are quietly Floating in mid-air at a height of several meters, the constant light emitted illuminates the road in the darkness, and extends along the road for a long distance. Gawain looked far away and saw not only the road in front of him, but also the road in front of him. Some street lights in the distance are also starting up sequentially. From this position, he has no way of judging how many areas the lighting system is restarting at this moment, but one thing he can be sure of is that the scale must not be small.

Because within a short while, the communicator worn by Amber's waist rang, and Byron's nervous voice came from it: "Your Majesty! What's going on with you? I saw that many areas at the foot of the tower were suddenly illuminated. Bright!"

"Even your side can see it?" Gawain opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then shook his head, "Don't worry, I just activated some ancient lighting. Keep vigilant on your side, and I will notify you immediately if there is any situation .”

The communication with the Cold Winter was temporarily suspended, and Gao Wen and his party began to continue activities in this ruin that suddenly "moved"—Gao Wen, holding a pioneer sword, walked in the front of the team, and behind him he covered himself again. Dozens of layers of protection were applied, and Mordir was also applied to Gawain and Amber. Amber had already transformed herself into a shadow-friendly state. In the ever-changing lights and shadows, her figure appeared The team appeared and disappeared in front, back, left, and right, paying attention to movements in all directions.

Mordir's gaze couldn't help but be attracted by this half-elf whose shadow control ability can be called terrifying,

No matter how well-informed the old mage is in his life, he has never seen a fierce person who can use shadow jumping as a walk. He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "... This is really the most skilled stalker I have ever seen in my life. She One person is enough to keep an eye on all the troubles in the night!"

Gawain glanced at Amber who was scurrying around in his sight, and said casually, "Don't be fooled, she runs back and forth, left and right mainly to be one step faster when running."

Mordir: "...?"

Amber obviously heard Gao Wen's comments, but she has long been used to it and is shameless about it, so her face didn't change at all, and after running around for a while, she could confidently run to Gao Wen and express her hard work: "I I searched around and found that only these street lights were activated, and there was no more movement."

Gawain nodded, he was also paying attention to the surrounding situation, and everything was indeed as Amber said:

Everything in the ancient ruins is dead and silent, only the waves in the distance and the wind in the ears stir the tranquility under the night, and it is in this deadness that those abruptly lit street lights look extraordinarily strange and make people feel vigilant.

"I think we'd better avoid these places illuminated by street lights," Amber said suddenly, her expression a little nervous. "It doesn't feel like a good idea to act in such an environment that is illuminated in all directions."

"All the areas leading to the tower have been illuminated by these streetlights," Gawain looked up into the distance. Of course he knew that Amber's nervousness had some reason, but after observing the situation in the distance, he realized that his party People may have to bite the bullet and walk under these strangely lit street lights, "The lighting system is activated around the tower, and the closer you go to the central area, the less dead ends the light coverage will have - let's go, at least we have a clear direction .”

Amber could only suppress the tension in her heart, shrank her neck and continued to follow behind Gawain. They walked towards the foundation of the tower on the wide and straight road, while Mordir kept looking around, curiously. Look at the signs that occasionally appear on the side of the road, or the ground markings that have been defaced and incomplete.

"Such a wide road... is wider than the central avenue of Cecil City..." Amber couldn't help muttering, "Who do you think this road is for? Could it be that the sailors were giants several meters tall? Is it?"

"It may also be that the scale of the vehicles they use here is huge," Gao Wen shook his head, "Enya said that the Voyagers are a race that is almost indistinguishable from humans in size, and their appearance is even similar to most humanoid creatures, but They have a lot of huge and amazing machines - in the temporary base built by the voyagers, there are often more intelligent vehicles that shuttle back and forth than people. When this facility was still in operation, most of the people running on these roads were probably They're all mechanical vehicles they built... maybe most of them are engineering."

"Here is a road sign that can still be seen clearly," Modil seemed to have suddenly discovered something, pointing to the mid-air above the crowd and said, "Above... oh, I don't know a single word..."

Gao Wen immediately looked in the direction of the old mage's finger, and he saw a horizontal alloy beam spanning the road, on which were fixed a huge sign and several devices that had no function and whose purpose was unknown. There is additional lighting at the bottom of the , illuminating the mottled but still recognizable characters on the sign.

Those are mysterious and unknown characters, connected by short dots, lines and graceful arcs, with indicative arrows beside them. I am afraid that no one in the current Loren Continent can decipher those characters—Enya may Know some, but she's not here at the moment.

Gao Wen raised his head and stared at the road sign for a moment, and then he was about to look away, but at this moment, the characters that were unfamiliar to his eyes suddenly trembled, and then he saw them deform in his eyes as if they had come to life, Wandering, in the rapid reorganization of the lines, the meaning of those characters emerged in his mind——

"Front Access - Production Center B-17 Entrance;

"Driving safely, keep your heart in mind, and slow down in the production center;

"20 order points will be deducted for speeding here and a level 2 negative behavior will be recorded once."

Gao Wen blinked, and subconsciously raised his hand to rub his eyes. Amber next to him immediately asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you old enough to cry against the wind?"

Gawain slapped the guy on the top of the head casually, looked up at the base of the towering giant tower illuminated by lights in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that we are going in the right direction."

Further ahead, apart from the increasingly dense and bright lights, there was still nothing threatening in the ruins. A group of three people slowly accelerated their pace and came to the last section of road around the base of the tower. As they approached the tower body, the building facilities around them became denser than before. There were many large and small alloy structures like pillars standing on the nearby platforms, pointing straight into the sky under the night, while There are also various thin alloy beams connected between the pillars, interweaving together to form a complex three-dimensional structure, and some curved thin plates like domes cover the tops of some of the three-dimensional structures. Under the night, these towering pillars and Connecting and jointly cutting the night sky of the North Pole, faintly revealing some kind of..."architectural art" of the Voyager civilization.

"It's so beautiful..." Amber couldn't help but raised her head, looking at those things that looked like large urban sculptures—in such an industrial center, they certainly had more important functions than urban sculptures, but those functions had all been annihilated. In the long history, what they can present to future generations today is only amazing architectural skills and unique aesthetic style, "I thought that the sailors would only build cold machines or powerful weapons. The thorough fighting race, so they also understand art and aesthetics..."

"Don't be led by prejudice," Gao Wen reminded at the right time, "the sailors are also intelligent civilizations, and as long as they are intelligent civilizations, they will always develop their own art and aesthetics, even if the aesthetic standards of different civilizations may vary greatly. different. Like these pillars here, they..."

Gao Wen raised his head and spoke, but stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, his eyes suddenly became serious, and his eyes swept quickly between those pillars and connecting structures, then he lowered his head, just in time to meet Amber, who was also looking at him. The serious eyes that came over.

"Look familiar!!" The two said almost in unison.

Modil next to him was a little dazed for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Ah? What? Have you seen anything similar?"

As soon as the old mage finished speaking, Gawain and Amber set their gazes on him again at the same time. Modil was startled by the stare, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but was confused by the extremely solemn expressions of the two in front of him. I didn't know whether I should speak, so I could only spread my hands in a daze.

And Gao Wen and Amber have already confirmed one thing in this brief eye contact and memory confirmation.

Their "sense of familiarity" is correct, they have seen things similar to these pillars and connection structures here not long ago, and all of this is related to Mordir - it is the shadow sand that Amber took from Mordir. The "stage" presented by Dust is the mysterious place where the old mage and the two suspected elf twins meet in Dust's phantom!

There, too, stood pillars and vaults similar to those here!

"The styles are more than 90% similar, but they are not in the same place," Gao Wen quickly compared the memories in his mind, then looked up at the scene in front of him, and said to Amber very firmly and quickly, " It should be in another ruins of the sailors."

"Are you sure?" Amber couldn't help but confirm, "The scene shown in those dust phantoms was not clear at that time, and there were many details between these pillars that were difficult to remember, or I will..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and prepared to summon the shadow dust again for confirmation, but she stopped the impulse just halfway through, and shook her head cautiously: "No, this place is weird, how can I say so?" It may cause some unforeseen changes..."

Gao Wen saw Amber's actions just now and wanted to stop him aloud, but he didn't expect this guy who usually looked carefree to be so cautious at the moment. He also felt that it was logical after being surprised - obviously it was the guy deep in his soul. Counseling played a role.

"There is no need to confirm, I am confident in my memory," he said, and temporarily wrote down the matter, "Go on, this place is getting more and more interesting to me."

While talking, he turned his head to look at Modil again: "You always pay attention to whether there are any changes in yourself, and tell me as soon as you see or hear anything that you think is abnormal."

"I try my best," Mordir nodded helplessly, he followed Gao Wen's footsteps, and said as he walked, "but in many cases, if the spirit is polluted, it is difficult for the polluted person to realize his There is something weird about what you hear and see..."

"Then you take this," Gawain said as he casually stuffed something into Mordir's hand, "but don't look at it frequently, just keep it by your side."

Mordir took the thing that Gawain had stuffed over, and after a glance, he found that it was a talisman no bigger than a palm. The surface of the talisman had complicated and wonderful lines. He only had one look at the talisman, and he felt that there was something wrong with it. The inspiring and high-spirited power flowed into the depths of his heart, but the instinct accumulated over the years of adventure prevented him from indulging in this positive spiritual influence, and instead immediately became vigilant: "What is this thing? ? It seems to affect my mind..."

"Portable divinity protection rune array, a gift from the sea - all operators of 'Contact Level' and above of the Theocracy Council are equipped as standard," Gao Wen explained casually, "The concept behind these special terms is explained for a while. If you can't tell clearly, you can simply understand that this is an item specially used to fight against mental pollution. But the so-called "fighting poison with poison", its own protection principle is actually a kind of spiritual pollution, although for ordinary people this kind of Mental 'pollution' has only positive effects, and its negative effects can be ignored with a little adjustment, but your situation is special, your resistance to spiritual pollution may be much lower than ordinary people, so I didn't give you this until now , and you'd better not let this talisman appear in your sight too often..."

"I understand," Modil said as he carefully put away the "gift from the deep sea", and at the same time couldn't help muttering, "Spiritual pollution... No wonder, when I looked at this thing just now, it turned out to be There is an urge to turn around and jump into the sea!"
