Chapter 1467 The "Source" Of Amber
The study room fell silent, and Amber was a little silent for a while—she had already fully understood Gawain's speculation, and had to admit that this was probably the only possible answer.
It's just that as a "participant" in this vortex, she still needs a little time to calm herself down.
After a few minutes like this, she suddenly raised her head and looked into Gawain's eyes: "When did you think of this?"
"Actually... I had a vague feeling when Nicholas and the others discovered that hall of shadows," Gawain thought for a while, and confessed frankly, "At first I thought of you from the shadow power entrenched in that hall. body, but the possibility of you being a 'star map keeper' is very slim - even if you yourself can't remember your 'life experience' before being transformed into an artificial human by the Gondorians.
"After that, I suspected Ms. Ye—an ancient god who has a mysterious connection with you. It has survived from the age of the sailors until now, hidden in the depths of the world, holding the authority of shadows, and has been fighting against the tide for a long time. Confrontation... all the clues are suspicious, and coupled with the abnormal reaction you had when Nicholas and the others explored the Hall of Shadows, I vaguely feel... Ms. Ye is probably the answer to everything."
Amber subconsciously said: "You thought of it at that time...then why..."
"Because of the lack of the most critical 'explanation', this leads to a complete contradiction between my guess and the information we have been 'mastering'," Gawain shook his head, "The Voyager almost killed all the ancient gods. In the records they left, there is even a special message about sending a fleet to continue to hunt down Ms. Ye, and the records of the Dragon Clan can also confirm this. For a long time, all kinds of evidence have shown that there is an endless relationship between the Voyager and the ancient gods If this major premise is not overturned, how dare you believe that Ms. Ye, who was hunted down by the Voyager to the last moment, is actually the star map keeper of the Sky Station, and even has a lot of authority?"
Amber suddenly understood: "So what I just saw at the 'bottom of the vortex' is the most crucial explanation..."
"Yes, if the 'war' between the voyager and the ancient gods was essentially a deal, if the ancient gods took the initiative to summon the voyager fleet, and there was no hatred between the two... then everything would be It's all made clear."
Gao Wen nodded and said, and then sighed in his heart: After all, the records of the Dragon Clan are correct, and the "battlefield logs" he got are also correct. The battle of killing gods more than 1.8 million years ago... ...In fact, it is really a situation of endless death. Although the ancient gods summoned the voyager fleet at first, when the latter landed on this planet, the gods who had sent the signal had already fallen into a state of madness while waiting, and in this out-of-control state Next...they started a deadly battle with the fleet they summoned by themselves.
The sailor just faithfully fulfilled the content of the transaction in the process.
The above are actually the conclusions that Gao Wen speculated based on the existing information, but all the key contradictions have been explained, all the existing clues can be connected, and all the evidences are mutually corroborated - so even if it is speculated In conclusion, I am afraid that it is infinitely close to the truth of the year.
Now he only has one last little bit of confusion: According to the available information, the Shadow Goddess "Lady Night" was obviously crazy and out of control in the final stage of the God Killing Battle. The survivors had to send a fleet to hunt down the out-of-control god, but in the end... the out-of-control god became the "star map keeper" of the Sky Station, and there is a gap that needs to be explained.
What happened in the process between Ms. Ye escaping from the Battlefield of God Wars, the Voyager sent hunting troops, and Ms. Ye becoming the "keeper of the star map"? Could it be that he was not completely insane back then, so he was rescued by the sailor in the final stage? Could it be that the sailor has some means to restore the out-of-control god? Could it be that the so-called "anchor point generator" not only has the function of maintaining the existence of gods, but also assists in stabilizing the mental state of gods?
There are too many possible explanations, and I am afraid that only the "participants" themselves know what happened in the first place.
Compared with Ms. Ye's experience back then and his current state, what Gao Wen was more concerned about at this moment—or what he was able to pay attention to now was the situation on Amber's side.
Amber, the "artificial man No. 36" of the Gondor Empire, whose soul comes from the "shadow resident" in the shadow field, has an inexplicable connection with Lady Ye, and can even steal part of Lady Ye's authority. The state changes reacted, and after seeing the lines recorded on the anchor point generator, he fell into the vortex of the suspected "memory of the ancient gods"...
She is still the same noisy, cowardly and jumping outside, but in Gawain's perception, she is no longer a simple shadow assault goose - she is a shadow assault goose that has a lot going on.
"Is there any abnormal reaction in the body now?" Gao Wen carefully observed Amber's state, sensing the change of the other party's breath, and asked very cautiously.
"No," Amber replied honestly, "Except for being a little confused when I came out of the vortex just now, it seems to be unaffected... Actually, you don't have to worry too much, although I have encountered many strange things during this period. It's a strange thing, but these visions don't seem to have caused any harm to me, I have a feeling that Ms. Ye's power is not hostile to me at all..."
"No hostility does not mean there is no danger, and no harm now does not mean that it will be safe forever in the future," Gao Wen frowned, with a serious and scary expression, "We have no way to locate Ms. Ye's location now, before the expert group of the council Trying to use shadow dust and shadow fissures to indirectly find Lady Ye's divine kingdom has also failed... We have to make some new attempts. Even if we can't find Lady Ye, we must at least do some protection for you. "
Amber stared blankly at Gao Wen: "A new attempt? What are you going to do?"
"For example, first build two anti-divine barriers around the Royal District and the Administrative District," Gao Wen said while thinking, "This may prevent you from over-contacting those indescribable and uncontrollable forces to a certain extent."
Amber was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened: "...There is no need to exaggerate like this!"
"...Well, maybe it's an exaggeration, and you will always go out for action," Gao Wen thought for a while, and could only shake his head. "Then a more feasible solution is to wear protective measures on your body."
"Wear protective measures on your body?" Amber said with doubts in her tone, "Could it be that you let me go out with a set of anti-divine barriers on my back? Like those heavy white knights?"
Gawain raised his eyes and glanced at the thin and small half-elf in front of him, thinking that with this guy's small body, he might not be able to wear the white knight's equipment even after eighteen surgeries, he waved his hand : "I'm referring to protective means such as deep-sea talisman and divinity perception talisman-although these things are simple, the effect is guaranteed. Go to Tyr later and ask her to make a deep-sea talisman for you. Don’t take it off while you’re wearing it.”
"Although I still think you're a little too nervous... But well, doing some protection can really make you feel more at ease," Amber thought for a while, then sighed helplessly, "I'm going to find Tyr now, I hope she can do it this way." Time to wake up."
While talking, she couldn't help poking her head to look at Gao Wen's desk curiously—the upside-down paper seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to her, even though she knew that the paper The patterns on it were weird, but she still wanted to take a second look.
It was as if something important to her was hidden there.
However, Gawain put the paper away directly: "You still don't want to touch this thing, until Nicholas makes more progress in the research on the Shadow Hall and the Anchor Point Generator, you should keep a distance from this thing .”
Amber could only give up with a little regret, and then turned around and went back into the shadow rift—she was going to find Tyr next, and if the other party remained awake at this time, she had to get her a customized version of the deep sea amulet.
Although theoretically speaking, as long as the material, process, and rune accuracy of this kind of thing meet the standards, there is actually not much difference in the effect whether it is produced in a factory or hand-made, but in fact, it is processed by the Kraken himself. The effect of the deep-sea amulet in resisting the erosion of divinity and protecting the stability of the soul is still a little bit better than that of factory products. Gao Wen explained the principle behind this little difference as "the god of harmony in the deep sea can also be regarded as a god. It is easy to rub something with special effects. Normal", but Amber prefers another popular explanation:
Handcrafted things have soul.
The study room became quiet. After Amber left, Gao Wen pondered for a long time in front of the desk, and then he took out the piece of paper that he had put away, unfolded it and looked at the dense patterns on it.
There is a not-so-obvious blank space in the corner of the pattern, and he has yet to finish the last stroke - as long as he adds this stroke, he will complete the pattern that looks like a totem relief on the surface of the anchor point generator.
He stared at the pattern for a long time, but he couldn't feel any special power from it like Amber, but he vaguely felt that if he added this last touch, it might bring about some changes.
He picked up the pen at hand, but just let the nib rest a few millimeters on the paper. He thought of the scenes that Amber saw in the vortex just now, and thought of the "star map keeper" and "Night Lady" In the end, what he thought of was the inexplicable connection between Hu Po and Ms. Ye.
Actually... He already had a vague guess in his mind.
The currently known information can prove that Ms. Ye is most likely the "star map keeper" left by the voyager, and Amber can "borrow" Ms. Ye's authority to "steal" the shadow dust from the Kingdom of God, and even Through the totem pattern on the surface of the anchor point generator, she can also see the "observation records" that are most likely left by Ms. Ye-this can no longer be explained by a simple "some connection".
And Gao Wen still clearly remembers such a sentence mentioned in the log of the anchor point generator:
If the Anchor Point Generator loses focus or enters some secondary state, the Star Map Custodian's data will be mis-duplicated and overflowed.
An important factor causing the anchor point generator to lose focus is the data contact between the Sentinel system and the "star map keeper".
The sentinel system operates in the deep sea, and originally it would not communicate with the firmament station in the material world, but there is one thing that may have connected the two—the reverse tide pollution many years ago.
It first tried to infect the sky, and then tried to pollute the sentinel after the shadow hall was blocked. During this process, the data isolation between the sentinel and the star map keeper may have been "broken down" by the pollution!
That is to say, the phenomenon of "error copying and overflow of custodian data" mentioned in the log of the anchor point generator should have occurred, and this... could it be the "source" of amber?
A soul wandering in the shadow world, a "false copy" split from the original data of the star map keeper, without memory and power, was inexplicably captured by the magisters of the Gondor era, and stuffed into the artificial man In his body... this process is probably established.
Back then, the Gondor Empire created dozens of artificial humans in the Shadow Fortress (considering the process of the entire project and the possibility of other facilities, this number should be even more), but in the end only the individual Amber survived. Use luck to explain, but it is more likely that... the soul in "Artificial Human No. 36" is very special, and she was not an ordinary shadow dweller from the very beginning!
Gao Wen breathed out lightly, feeling that he had grasped the real ins and outs of the matter, and he had thought of these just now, but he didn't say it in front of Amber.
For Shadow Assault Goose, she has encountered enough irritating truths these days, it is best to let her take a break - step-by-step big news can effectively exercise the nerves, but the big news that hits all at once is too much. It's easy for people to "crack" it.
And in fact, there is no need for Gao Wen to help her analyze it deliberately. Looking back, Amber should gradually think of these things by herself. Although she usually looks carefree and unreliable, in fact, she is very witty, and Gao Wen still understands this.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and the pen in Gao Wen's hand fell steadily, outlining the last curve in the complex pattern.
All the lines were finally connected into a whole, completely presenting the pattern on the surface of the anchor point generator—but no anomaly occurred.
Gao Wen frowned and looked at the mysterious pattern that he had completed. He always felt that this thing should not be so plain. He stared at the pattern for a long time, as if he wanted to see some supernatural traces in it, but neither The distorted light and shadow did not hear the sound ringing in his ears, his intuitive judgment seemed to be wrong-but on the other hand, he was relieved that there was no vision.
He's just a little bit sorry.
After being dazed at the desk for a few seconds, Gao Wen stood up. He hesitated for a moment, then went to close the door of the study. After returning to the desk, he stared at the paper with countless mysterious lines on it. After looking around to see if there was no one there, he bent down and poked the pattern on it: "...Is there anyone? Ms. Ye?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Hu Po's voice suddenly coming from the side: "What are you doing, old zongzi?"
Gawain looked up and saw Amber squatting on the windowsill with one leg sticking out.
The goose looked this way full of shock.
"I didn't find Tire just now, so I wanted to ask you if you know where she is...how about you keep busy?"
