Chapter 1408 Imprint

The focus of the rune array slowly focused on Amber, which made her return to the stunned state in a few seconds after waking up from the stunned state.

"What's this thing?" Amber pointed at herself with wide eyes, and then subconsciously jumped two steps to the side, "Hey, wait what's wrong with this thing of yours...why are you still running along! "

A few soft beams of light kept changing their direction following the direction of Amber bouncing around, and they were always pointing steadily at the Shadow Assault Goose. After a short moment of astonishment, Mirmina finally came to her senses, and she watched with strange eyes. Amber, who was still bouncing around trying to evade: "...this is the rune I set up to detect the shadow-inclined divine power, and now it has detected it."

"Shadow tendencies...divine power?" Amber finally stopped. She was obviously distracted before, so she was very surprised at the moment, "On me? So your thing is really broken..."

She stopped before finishing the second half of the sentence, obviously also knowing how low the probability of problems with the spells arranged by the former goddess of magic is, and Gawain next to her looked at her with extra serious eyes: " These runes weren't directed at you in the first place—what did you do?"

"Me?" Amber frowned, trying to recall those memories that were blurred in her mind for some reason, and she had completely forgotten what happened when she fell, but about the few seconds before falling It seems that there are still vague impressions imprinted in her mind like shallow traces on the sand. After trying to recall for a long time, those faint traces finally gradually became clear, and she frowned uncertainly. Mei, "I remember seeing a shadow suddenly fly by in front of me, and then I reached out to grab it... just like this..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, as if she was about to demonstrate. In the next second, Gawain saw a gray-white "print" suddenly appear in the air—as if the space itself had been dyed. A certain color, the trace appeared there abruptly, and was firmly held by Amber.

The scene fell into silence for a few seconds, until Amber was the first to break the silence: "...Mom."

The array of runes floating in the surrounding air suddenly emitted a brighter glow than before, and all the light beams were focused on the gray-white mark. However, the guide Gao Wen and others who don't need these runes now have realized what happened. What? After staring at the Shadow Assault Goose for a few seconds, Gawain finally twitched the corner of his mouth: "Why do you keep everything in your pocket..."

"Is this a question of going in the pocket?!" Amber herself was taken aback, she stared at the gray imprint that looked like green smoke and had no weight but was actually caught in her hand. His eyes widened, "I don't know what's going on... I really just grabbed it casually, and then I don't remember what happened at all-don't you have to wave your hands when you see a fly flying past your eyes! "

"It's the first time I've heard that the process of stealing power from the gods can be described in this way,

"Mirmina waved her hand and removed those rune arrays. She stared at Amber condescendingly, and after carefully looking at Amber several times, she said thoughtfully, "This is obviously what Ms. Ye left behind in the corpse of the God Against the Tide. A trace of power... or breath, but now it has transferred to you... Any special feeling? Like hearing or seeing something? Or is there any memory and knowledge in my mind that does not belong to me? "

"Not at all." Amber shook her head vigorously. She had calmed down a little at this time, and turned to look curiously at the gray mark in her hand. After finding that it was neither hot nor sharp, She even started to swing it back and forth like a leather belt with great interest, and stretched out her other hand to grab the other end of the imprint and pulled it vigorously to both sides, stretching it a lot at once, and then moving it far away. As soon as Chu let go, the imprint was stretched far away like a rubber band that had been let go—and then quickly returned to her hand.

Gao Wen and the two old gods who were serious at the scene were stunned by this ineffective operation—Amoen's deer face showed a look of astonishment.

In the end, Gao Wen finally couldn't hold back and slapped this guy on the shoulder: "We are analyzing it seriously here, is it appropriate for you to play like this?"

"Oh, tell me, tell me," Huber Jiling reacted immediately, and quickly shrank her neck, "I was just testing the nature of this thing..."

"This is not the first time you've 'stealed' something from Ms. Ye," Amon coughed lightly twice, his crystal-like eyes stared at the gray mark in Amber's hand, "The last time was Shadow Sha Dust, this time it is a shadow mark... I always feel that this is a kind of... a gradual 'process', I don't know if you have this feeling?"

Hu Po's heartless expression froze instantly, and her two pointed ears suddenly pricked up: "You... why do I feel a little hairy when you say that..."

"There is a connection between you and Ms. Ye, which is an obvious fact before," Gao Wen looked at Amber with a very serious expression, "but now it seems that the connection between you and her may be even stronger than we imagined before." Deep, and the connection...seems to deepen with time or some external stimulus. Right now we can't see if the connection is good or bad, but getting too close to the gods...is never safe Things. Afterwards, you should not participate in or get close to the research on the wreckage of Reverse Tide, after all, we can't confirm whether there are more "shadow powers" left on it."

It was a matter of family and life, and Amber turned from reckless to cowardly in an instant, pointing her head quickly, and Mirmina on the side immediately said: "It seems that neither the shadow dust nor this mark has any negative impact on you. , these 'powers of the night' seem to have undergone some form of...'harmless' after falling into your hands, but you still have to pay attention, once you find any changes in these two powers or something is wrong with you place, let us know as soon as possible.”

Mirmina said in a very tactful way that the power of the gods would become a copycat state after it fell into the hands of Kohaber, but the latter was obviously not in the mood to care about this detail at this time, she lowered her head and fiddled with the quilt The shadow imprint that I held lightly in my hand, while unconsciously twirling it around my arm, muttered: "That's what I said, but it's not a problem to keep doing this, if I can know what Ms. Ye wants to do Alright, or at least know where her kingdom of God is..."

"I'm afraid this matter can only be more difficult than before," Gawain shook his head, "The Sentinel has been wiped out, and the spaceship capable of cruising between the kingdoms of God has also been completely destroyed. There is no way to get closer and observe any kingdom of gods, let alone Lady Ye's domain..."

"Right now, we can only hope for the 'power remnants' from Lady Ye in your hands," Mirmina's voice came from above, "The council is still studying the shadow dust you summoned earlier , but there has been no progress, and now you have another "shadow imprint", I hope it can bring some breakthroughs to the current deadlocked research-if you can establish a connection with Ms. Ye through these residual forces, then things It's much easier to handle."

"That's the only way to go," Amber sighed helplessly. Although she usually has a heartless personality, she also felt a lot of pressure at this time. Just go to the gate to the Dark Night Realm."

As she said that, she let go of her hand, and the erratic smoke-like gray-white imprint dissipated in the air little by little—but she could still clearly feel that this force did not leave her, but... An unperceivable way lingers around him.

She curled her lips, and the amber eyes reflected the cold starlight, which quietly enveloped the night. For some reason, a strange feeling of "illusion" surfaced in her heart at this moment, that feeling It was as if the whole world had become unreal, like a dream separated by thick fog—or, she herself was the false mist.

Gao Wen patted Amber on the shoulder: "Don't think so much."

Xinghui seemed a little warmer and more real.

...

After that, the Tarash Plain spent two days in peace. On the 47th of the Fire Moon, the third day after the end of the war, the large-scale troop withdrawal and a series of aftermath and handover activities finally officially began.

This war will profoundly change the direction of the entire world. It is foreseeable that whether it is to rebuild the wasteland, monitor the pollution, or to maintain the stability of the situation and ensure the interests of all countries, the alliance will remain in the tower for a long time to come. A certain garrison size along the Rush Plain and the blocking wall-but the Alliance obviously does not need to keep all the main corps on this land.

It is a heavy burden to maintain such a large-scale army far away from the territory of civilization. This battle of survival has been fought from last year to this year, and its intensity and scale have long surpassed any war recorded in history. Weaker countries have already been overwhelmed, and even a veteran power like Typhon can't afford such an astonishing consumption. Considering that the economic and social operations of various countries need to return to normal, after an online meeting of the alliance's top leaders, except In addition to the necessary remaining troops, the main armies on all fronts began a mighty withdrawal, and millions of mortal troops began to withdraw from the Tarash Plain in an orderly manner.

In the northern part of the Deep Blue Well, in the frontline headquarters, Gao Wen was standing in front of the window looking at the busy scene outside. The second batch of evacuated troops was gathering at the base, including Cecil's own soldiers, as well as those from the Holy Dragon. Dragonborn soldiers from the Principality and Crusade soldiers from Tarrond.

Some soldiers of the Tarrond Expeditionary Army transformed into giant dragons on the open ground. They were hanging their wings to the ground, allowing human soldiers to carry various supplies to their backs, while some dragonborn warriors were not far away. Discussing the flight sequence when returning to the voyage - they plan to relay and fly back directly with their comrades in arms.

"...I didn't expect them to be familiar with each other and adapt to this level in such a short period of time..." Philip's voice came from the side, "Humans, dragons, dragon descendants, and other elves on the front line, Dwarves, orcs... just a few months ago, many soldiers had no contact with 'foreign races' at all, but now they can help each other so naturally."

"The battlefield is like a melting pot, where 'ingots' from all over the world will be melted into one. No communication can be more efficient and effective than the friendship brought about by covering each other on the battlefield," Gao Wen said with a hint of emotion. Said loudly, "In a sense, we should be grateful for this war - it proves the correctness and necessity of the existence of the alliance."

Philip nodded, and then he seemed to think of something suddenly, and couldn't help laughing: "Seeing these troops returning home, I remembered the communication from Byron this morning. He seemed to have a lot of grievances—his Winter He and the entire imperial navy have to go back half a circle around the mainland, and it may be almost autumn when he returns home."

"...I hope he doesn't forget the gift for Pea besides complaining," Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, then looked out the window and sighed softly, "...the victorious soldiers have returned to the country. On the ground, the society that is in a state of high tension will slowly return to normal. At that time, it will be necessary for the military to come forward and cooperate with the propaganda department to do some propaganda and guidance work. You must be prepared."

When Philip heard this, his face turned bitter: "Your Majesty, I... I'm really not good at this. How about you wait until Byron returns to China to talk about things like this in front of reporters? His face is better than mine..."

"Byron? Let alone he has to go half a circle around the mainland to return to Beigang, do you think he is a person suitable for 'talking about scenes'?" Gawain glanced at Philip, "It's just you, quite suitable, just right You should also show your face, maybe you can attract the attention of some girls——you are too old..."

Philip: "..."

Facts have proved that his character is really not suitable for Gao Wen's next step.

Fortunately, Gao Wen just casually said that Philip himself had a lot of work to do at the same time—the young general quickly left the room as if fleeing in embarrassment.

Gawain himself stood in front of the window for a while, until a familiar aura appeared in the room, and then he looked away from the window, looking at the petite figure who was jumping from the shadow rift to the ground.

"... To be honest, don't you think about going as far as possible in the normal way?" He watched the shadowy aura around Amber gradually subside, and couldn't help but say, "Slightly reduce the contact with the shadow power..."

"I really thought about it, but I don't think it's useless." Amber said helplessly, "You don't know my specialness, the 'Artificial Man No. 36' made by the Gondor Empire, My 'inner' is a part of the shadow world, even when I eat, sleep and catch my breath, I am constantly establishing contact with the shadow power, which cannot be affected by a few shadow steps."

In the field of shadows, Amber is an undoubted expert. Gao Wen knew that his judgment was definitely not as good as the goose's own feelings, so he could only sigh helplessly, and asked about the business: "How are the replies?"

"Most of the replies are in place. Emperor Typhon Rosetta and Queen Belsetia are going to come in person, and other countries have also indicated that they will arrange representatives as soon as possible-basically, the leaders who can appear in person are coming in person, and some countries The military and political leaders are already in the Tarash Plain—they are just like you, they also came from the 'Royal Conquest'," Amber said while picking up the water glass next to her, and took a few big gulps Then he continued, "It feels like it will be a grand event no less than the 112 meeting..."

"A grand event that shapes the world situation," Gao Wen laughed, "There will always be what should be."
