Chapter 1262 Behind the Curtain

Hidden in the cracks of the real world, the truth that cannot be observed by the naked eye.

When Gawain saw those jumping shadows, he didn't think about it so deeply at first. He only thought that it was some kind of optical occlusion effect, some kind of illusion covering some real situation in the tower, but this The simple thought only lasted for less than a tenth of a second, and he suddenly realized one thing——

The three people on the scene, he is a legendary knight, Mordir is a legendary mage, and the last Amber, although not strong in combat, is a suspected shadow god, a person who has the ability to steal power from Lady Ye's divine kingdom The "Shadow Grandmaster" - this level of exploration team configuration, what degree of optical occlusion or illusion spells can simultaneously hide from their eyes? !

This is not an optical illusion, at least the power of the Miracle Domain is entrenched here! Some research results of the Theological Council and the knowledge he got from several retired gods quickly emerged in Gao Wen's mind, and he immediately judged that something that could almost interfere with reality was hiding in this tower. The true situation.

Amber reacted in an instant, and suddenly raised her head to look at the sky. Her eyes did not penetrate the hidden curtains in a "flash of inspiration" like the protagonists of the bard's stories, but some kind of vague Intuition still rose from the bottom of her heart, and along with the quick thinking in her mind, she subconsciously raised her hands, hesitating whether she should summon the power that might point to the gods.

This is the Tower Against the Tide, rashly using power beyond the realm of mortals might attract unexpected changes.

But isn't the situation in front of him already an unexpected change?

Amber quickly shook her heart, raised her hands high, and an invisible gust of wind swept through the center of the hall in an instant. In the swift gray-white airflow, shadowy dust emerged out of thin air, and was engulfed by the gust of wind and spread wantonly throughout the hall.

Gawain looked at the shadowy dust that suddenly appeared and expanded rapidly, and looked at Amber in astonishment: "When did your ability become so powerful?"

"I... I don't know..." Amber also looked a little confused, and said quickly while controlling the shadow dust flying in the sky, "I just want to summon a dust to send it up, look at those dust Can the 'infection' nature of the dust break through to see some invisible things... I don't know why so many suddenly come out!"

While speaking, Amber has quickly closed the "channel" for summoning the shadow dust, but the dust that has gushed out still forms a huge gray-white "dust storm" above the hall. She tries her best to control the flow of the dust, Guided them to hover in the upper part of the hall, Gawain widened his eyes at the same time, watching those gray-white sand streams rampant in the sky - the next second, he and Mordir took a breath of cold air at the same time.

The gray-white wind and sand swept across the roof of the hall, cutting the hidden "curtains" like a rough and unreasonable sharp blade storm. Seriously corroded, polluted, and even scars left by some kind of parasitic structure were exposed to the three of them. Black spots spread from the highest wall to the center of the roof, and many withered and dead animals were unknown. Something that is still a plant structure is entangled and adsorbed above the transportation channel. The traces of corruption are shocking, but what is even more shocking is another thing:

A huge crack that runs through the roof of the entire hall.

The crack was not printed on the walls or the roof of the hall, but floated abruptly in mid-air, as if the space itself had opened a wound; its two ends penetrated the outer wall of the tower, but did not damage the structure of the outer wall, and It pierced through like a phantom, its top touched the roof of the hall, and its bottom showed a crooked, jagged and hideous shape!

And in the depths of this hideous and huge crack, one can see the blue light continuously surging like water waves. Although he can't feel any power escaping, he only sees the bright and pure light, Gao Wen It was as if he could feel how pure and powerful magical energy filled the "world" on the other side of the rift.

The shadowy dust began to recede gradually, and the invisible wind in the hall also gradually subsided. However, the destroyed "curtain" did not regenerate because of this, and the disturbing real scene presented on the roof of the hall was still clearly presented. In the eyes of everyone, the traces of erosion and the huge cracks stretching across the sky occupy almost one-third of the height of the entire hall, but below them... other areas in the hall are still in a normal state.

Apparently, near the roof was where "something" had once occupied.

Amber raised her head, her eyes slowly opened wide, and after a daze for an unknown amount of time, the Shadow Assault Goose, whose reaction was half a beat slow, finally let out an exclamation from her throat: "Oh, my mother, this is a big deal! Ah!!"

"What is that?!" Modil's eyes fell on the crack filled with blue light. He had never seen anything similar to it, but his instinct as a mage made him feel it. What happened, "That crack..."

"...Deep Blue Web Road, probably," Gawain's unusually serious voice sounded from the side, "It's also the first time I've seen it, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"Dark Blue Webway?" Another layer of confusion appeared on Modil's face, "What is that?"

"It's very complicated to explain. You can think of it as the energy circulation system inside this planet. It overlaps with the material world like the projection of the planet. It runs through all the layers of our world, and it has an exposed You should be familiar with the 'Yongyuan' in the real world... It used to be called the Deep Blue Well," Gao Wen said slowly, with a deep and serious voice, and he sighed slightly at the end, "It seems that we There is trouble..."

As if to prove the "trouble" in Gao Wen's mouth, as soon as his voice fell, the magic network terminal carried by Amber suddenly emitted a series of rapid buzzing sounds. As soon as the communication was connected, Gao Wen listened. Byron's voice sounded from the opposite side of the terminal: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with you?"

"People are safe, but we found something disturbing," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, and then frowned, "How do you know? What happened to you?"

While speaking, he vaguely heard some noisy movements on the opposite side of the communication device, mixed with the voices of Melita and Noretta, as well as the rumbling movements of the young dragons. Many people seemed to be in a hurry.

"The two young dragons suddenly made a big fuss just now," Azalena's voice broke in abruptly before Byron was on the other side of the communicator, "They shouted in the direction of the tower like crazy, and thumped hard It seemed as if they wanted to fly over, we took a lot of effort to barely stop them, but they still kept making trouble..."

The young dragon suddenly made a fuss?

Gao Wen frowned, and then heard another voice from the other side of the communication device. Melita and Noretta seemed to be nearby, and their hurried conversation came through the magic network terminal: "...Noretta Leta, they look very anxious, they don't listen to me at all!" "They don't listen to me either! Nolei just bit me!" "Would you like to use the spirit soothing spell, but they are still young, so they don't understand magic. Resistance to side effects..." "Don't worry, don't worry, their health is fine, I'll comfort you." "Wait, Noretta... I suddenly thought of a possibility... tell me, could it be Can they see what we can't?!"

...

"Could it be that they can see things we can't?"

On the edge of the deck of the Winter, the two young dragons were still shouting restlessly. The two novice mothers and the accompanying dragon compatriots were trying to appease the two little guys who had become anxious for some reason. Melita turned her head and looked at her. Noretta next to her said with her eyes wide open.

"Something we can't see?" Noretta was putting her hand on the head of one of the young dragons, trying to make the obviously anxious little guy feel more secure, while slowly opening her eyes wide, "Are you Say……"

"I'm guessing—the dark blue magic marks didn't just affect the color of their scales, do you remember? Speaker Andal and Ms. Enya said that the magic marks may have affected their nervous system and affected their perception ability……"

"Gah!!" "Gah!!" The two baby dragons yelled again one after another. They suddenly broke free from Noretta's hand, and rushed into the air, circling restlessly above the deck while watching In the direction of the Tower Against the Tide, the still immature roar was mixed with obvious uneasiness and some kind of...excitement.

Noretta came to her senses, she glanced at Melita, the two raised their fingers at the two young dragons circling in the night sky at the same time, the invisible magic force forcibly dragged the two little guys back to the deck, the young dragons struggled subconsciously Get up, but before that, Melita and Noretta have already put their hands on top of their heads.

"Hey, don't be afraid," Melita firmly controlled the neck of the extremely powerful young dragon with one arm, and pressed the little guy's head with the other hand. She moved closer to the latter's ear and whispered in a gentle voice. , "Did you see something scary? Mom knows, don't be afraid, relax... Let Mom see what you have seen..."

The little guy calmed down a bit, and taking advantage of this moment, layers of blue rune rings suddenly floated on Melita's hands, and her eyes also turned into dark golden vertical pupils in a single breath. , Under the night, this pair of eyes full of magic power directly linked to the vision of the young dragon, and then she controlled the young dragon in her arms, and slowly turned her gaze to the direction of the high tower.

A shocking... Huge crack that could even make the dragon tremble filled her field of vision!

That crack was suspended in the sky, filled with eye-catching blue radiance, piercing through the clouds in the night like a solidified lightning bolt, and "splitting" towards the sea below, it penetrated the lower part of the Tower Against the Tide. However, the crack did not destroy the main body of the tower. Instead, it passed through the outer wall of the tower like a phantom, and passed over the island of steel—then the crack continued towards the west coast of Tarrond. Extending, winding all the way forward, crossing the sea surface with floating ice and fragmented coast, and sinking all the way into the depths of the earth.

It was like a wound, tearing apart the sky and the earth—but no one had seen it before, except for the two wyrmlings.

"Oh my God……"

Noretta's exclamation came from the side, which made Melita wake up suddenly, and with the interruption of the magic connection between her and the young dragon, the crack that stretched across the sky and penetrated the tower also followed. It disappears from view as if it never existed.

Melita and Noretta looked at each other, and they saw the same astonishment and... anxiety in each other's eyes.

The next second, Melita suddenly stood up and rushed towards Byron who was holding a communicator not far away: "Gao Wen! We may be in trouble!"

...

Gao Wen looked gloomy, and while listening to Melita's report, he looked up at the roof of the hall. The shocking crack was still floating in the sky, and the erosion and corrosion marks around the crack were shocking.

When did that crack appear? When did the traces of pollution and corruption appear? When Mordir Wilde came here six hundred years ago...were they there?

Gawain couldn't help but have such a chilling scene in his mind - a great adventurer who knew nothing stepped into the tower, but he couldn't see the real scene in the tower. He explored, recorded, and studied in the hall. , However, just above his head, an indescribable corrupted thing is hidden in the depths of the invisible curtain, countless eyes are watching him, and countless mouthpieces are whispering to him...

He suddenly realized what the words and phrases mentioned in Mordir's confused speech just now meant—although this great adventurer was unable to see the "truth" in this hall back then, certain influences still directly interfered with the His mind allowed him to "record" everything subconsciously.

"What shall we do now?" Amber's voice came from the side. This half-elf was full of nervousness, but at such a critical moment, she showed no sign of running away, but she just stood there as if facing an enemy. Looking at the terrifying scene above the hall, he waited for Gao Wen's next instruction.

Gao Wen didn't respond to Amber immediately, but first took out a small metal amulet of guiding magic from his arms. In addition to the very distinctive deep sea runes engraved on the amulet, another set of symbols in the core area could be seen. Precise rune array—it is roughly hexagonal in shape, and the whole is covered by a transparent crystal-like substance, and fine crystals can also be seen embedded in each node.

This is a "detection device" used to perceive divine power. It is the brainchild of the think tanks and technical monks of the Theological Council. Its principle is not complicated. Its core mechanism is actually a general-purpose inverter array. If a certain range If there is divine power inside, the inverter array will react, the energy balance inside will be shifted, and the crystal structure of the device will also heat up and generate a flash signal.

At least in all the tests so far, this detection device can produce a sensitive response to any known divine power, and therefore, it has become the "contact level" and "confrontation level" operators of the Theocracy Council Standard items in daily tasks.

Looking at the silent metal amulet, Gao Wen's face sank like water.

At first, the talisman didn't respond, and he thought it was because the "reverse tide" was too special, so it failed to trigger the talisman's alarm.

But now...he had an even worse answer.

"The leak has already happened," Gawain slowly raised his head, his eyes sweeping across the roof, "We are late, I don't know how many years late."
