Chapter 1477 Gao Wen's Astonishing Guess
Chapter 1477 of the main text of the Sword of Dawn Gawain's amazing conjecture Gawain's sudden words broke all of Amber's thoughts in an instant, even though she usually has unrestrained imagination and With a solid and strong nerve, she really didn't expect that Gao Wen would say such a sentence after he bowed his head and pondered for a long time, so she was stunned for nearly ten seconds before she opened her eyes and said, "You are... How did it come out?"
"I know it's unimaginable. In fact, I don't believe it myself, but when this matter rises to the level of 'suspected disaster' and has something to do with that violet, then I always feel that no matter how bizarre the 'speculation' There is also a certain probability," Gawain's thoughts surged in his mind, and he slowly said his thoughts, "Especially Mordir was involved in this incident, and he witnessed the shadow residents from the black flames in the thick fog. Out of the middle... This means that this matter has been inextricably linked to Ms. Ye."
Amber frowned: "Indeed, no one thought that Violet would have any connection with Ms. Ye, but that great adventurer was involved, and his connection with Ms. Ye is the biggest clue, but even if there is such a On the first floor, you don't want to jump to such a bizarre idea as 'violets don't exist at all'?"
"Relationship with Ms. Ye means that our previous impression of the Violet Kingdom based on mortal cognition may be problematic. We can speculate what happened with the greatest imagination," Gao Wen rubbed his chin, if Thoughtful, he seemed to be talking to himself, "Think carefully... Has the Violet Kingdom sent any 'products' to Loren for a long time? I mean, apart from the magical knowledge they spread to the outside world and the traveling mages themselves, Does Violet have anything 'exported' to the Allied nations, and can it be seen and touched?"
Amber slowly widened her eyes, and opened her mouth a little bit: "..."
"We have established preliminary trade relations between Beigang and several border cities of the Violet Kingdom, but these trades have always been strictly restricted. We export goods, but the Violet people provide 'magic knowledge' or 'mages' Intangible and intangible 'commodities' such as apprentice training services', the currency used for settlement between the two parties is also Cecil or Typhon currency. The Violet people have used a set of strict exchange and circulation control methods to ensure that everything on that island is safe. will not be taken beyond the island..."
Gao Wen continued to speak unhurriedly, as if he didn't notice Amber's increasingly astonished expression.
"For a long time, we have believed that this strict restriction is because the Violet national policy is closed, because their authorities have an extremely conservative attitude towards 'transnational trade', because that itself is a hermit country with a long history, and it is still run by mages. Dominated by the mysterious kingdom, so many people interpret a large number of extremely unreasonable phenomena as 'weirdness of the wizard's kingdom', but think about it... there are too many unexplainable parts here.
"You have to know that no matter how conservative a country is, no matter how strict trade restrictions and border controls are, it is impossible to be truly airtight, and there will always be loopholes that can be exploited.
There will always be people who take risks, and there will always be people who want to break through these restrictions and start some profitable business. The creativity and action that businessmen can explode in this respect are infinite, but these years have passed, and we have Have you seen any 'violet souvenirs' in the market?
"Let's not talk about the normal market, just from your intelligence channels, the underground market, smugglers, collectors in the gray area, has even one of them managed to get the 'physical items' circulated from Violet Island? "
Amber finally blinked her eyes. She instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Gawain's almost whimsical ideas, and she immediately said, "Wait, that's wrong, you also admitted just now that the Violet Kingdom will at least send traveling mages to spread magic Knowledge, aren’t these mages considered “real”? The clothes they wear, the supplies they bring, and the books they brought from Violet, aren’t these all the “items” that circulated from that island to Loren?”
"But these wandering mages will collectively return to Violet after a period of time, and everything they bring will eventually be brought back. At the beginning, there was a Violet mage who served as a royal advisor in Ansu, and they even took all the magic books with them when they left. Only the copies made locally in Ansu are left... In fact, all the existing Violet magic books are similar copies or copies, and all the supernatural equipment with the name of "Violet Magic Items" are also processed in Loren Continent from."
Gawain folded his hands on the table, staring at Amber quietly: "There is no such thing as a barrier that is completely leaky, and if a barrier is really built, nothing will leak out for decades or even hundreds of years. , that can only show one thing that the inside of the barrier is really empty."
Amber opened her mouth and said hesitantly, "So... Could it be that you suspect that the entire Violet Kingdom is a huge magical illusion? Everything there is fake? Including the City of Thousand Towers, including Palan Santo, including the The wandering mages... But if the entire Violet Kingdom is really an illusion, how could the operators we sent there be safe and sound in the past two years? Their food and clothing costs... Could it be that they depend on the illusion to live?"
"Because they are in the Violet Territory, when they stayed on that island, they were part of the 'illusion'," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "We are bound by common sense, Amber, illusions are not necessarily false, reality is not. There must be a clear-cut boundary. Remember the 'sandbox' created by the Order of the Eternal Sleepers?
"For those of us who live in the 'real world', everything in the sandbox is just virtual data, but for the aborigines in the sandbox, their family and friends, they have daily access to various artifacts , that is the real existence, even... In the sandbox, there can also be born "gods" like the "upper narrator" who can reversely enter the real world, which is enough to show that in our world, the boundary between reality and fantasy is variable of……
"As a group of mortals, the Eternal Sleepers can accidentally create something like a sandbox. What if it is a mysterious and powerful ancient god?"
Amber listened blankly, and seemed to think of something at this moment: "Wait! No! I know that there is one thing that was brought out from the City of Thousand Towers by a mage from the Violet Kingdom! Return to Violet, what he brought out from the City of Thousand Towers is also left on our 'side'!"
Gao Wen also realized all of a sudden: "You mean... the notebook of the wild mage?!"
"Yes, that's the one! The wild mage who created the magic net is actually a Violet man, and his notebook can be regarded as a 'product' of that island... Wait, I'll go get it right away!"
Amber spoke quickly, and before she could finish her words, her figure had disappeared into a shadowy rift that suddenly opened. Gawain watched the other party rush out in such a hurry, and when the study quieted down, he couldn't help but scratched his cheek, I also began to wonder if I was too open-minded... Just based on the information I am talking about now, only based on some abnormal phenomena in the past, and only based on my own guesses, I came to such an amazing conclusion. This conclusion has been discussed with Amber for so long as the core, isn’t it…
A shadow rift opened again in the study, interrupting the fast spinning thoughts in his mind, Amber went back and forth, holding an extremely old black leather notebook in his hand.
That is the notebook of the wild mage. Today, the things recorded in this notebook have been copied, extracted, and annotated into countless copies. Many of the knowledge it records have even become the contents of the textbooks in Imperial College, and this " "Original" has always been properly preserved in the Royal Library and never borrowed.
It seems that this notebook really exists, but the expression on Amber's face is extremely weird.
"What's going on?" Gawain guessed from the expression on the other party's face that there must be something wrong with the notebook, and immediately asked.
Amber didn't say anything, but put the notebook directly in front of Gao Wen.
Its surface is shimmering, a mysterious brilliance that has never appeared before, unlike any kind of light in the world.
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stretched out his hand to open the notebook, only to realize that the mysterious faint light filled every corner of this notebook, on every page, on every ridge, and between the gaps in the pages , the slightly flickering light seems to soak the entire book, this scene is like a "conflict" caused by an "abnormal object" that should not exist here forcibly residing in the real world, but Gao Wen There is another feeling.
He felt as if it was some kind of protection... some force was forcing the book to stay.
Guided by some inexplicable intuition, he turned to the last page of this notebook with special meaning. In his memory, it was a blank page, but he was shocked to see words appearing on the paper. on the page
"In the end, the last trace left by the wild mage in the world has been preserved, which proves that he really did exist."
...
The cold sea wind blows head-on, and the fine waves surge in the wind, slapping the side of the "Han Xing" on the side of the ship, but this majestic steel ship is not affected by the wind and waves at all, it is just like Like a firm sea fortress, driven by a powerful mechanical engine, it sailed smoothly towards the kingdom of mages across the strait.
Mordir Wilde stood on the bow of the Hanstar, staring fixedly at the coast that was gradually becoming clear in his vision, and Victoria Wilde stood beside him, looking in the same direction as him.
This is a warship, a steel battleship not as powerful as the Winter, but strong enough to deal with all crises in this strait. After knowing the strange changes in the Violet Kingdom, Victoria directly sent a message to the imperial capital according to the highest level of early warning standards. , and then directly drove out the warship that was on standby in Beigang.
In fact, if it wasn't for Bitter Winter being overhauled on the power ridge, she even planned to apply to the higher-ups to send Bitter Winter...
"If the incident level really reaches the level of a 'divine disaster', then this ship will not be able to deal with it." Victoria whispered suddenly.
"It's not that I want to drive this ship to fight with God," Modil muttered, "Now Violet's situation is still in the category of 'extraordinary vision', we are going to investigate the incident first..."
Victoria glanced at the ancestor beside her, and her expression became a little serious: "Do we need to go to war with those 'shadow dwellers'? Did you find anything when you fought with them? For example, did they show signs of entering the real world on a large scale? ?”
"I can't say that well. After all, I can't fight. The difference in numbers is too great. When we meet each other, we can only run away." Modil waved his hand, "But I don't think you need to worry too much, the 'invincible' of the shadow dwellers 'It is only established in a specific environment. The shadow dwellers who enter the real world can still be eliminated by artillery fire and magic. The thick fog I saw in the dream roaming state should be in the superimposed state of the shadow world and the real world. That's why there are shadow dwellers popping up, but now the thick fog has dissipated..."
Victoria nodded slightly, and looked up at the coast that was clearly defined by the sky light in the distance: "Indeed, the dense fog on the island has obviously dissipated, but no one can say whether its dissipation is related to the rising of the sun , after all, that thing...huh?"
The second half of Victoria's sentence stopped suddenly. She was staring at the distant coast, her face was usually like an iceberg, and at this moment, she finally gradually showed a hint of consternation.
The coast was still far away, but with extraordinary vision, she could clearly see many details in the distance even if she did not activate auxiliary spells such as Eagle Eye and Mage's Eye.
She pointed over there: "There...should be the place where Plandel City was originally located?"
Modil looked in the direction of the other party's finger, but only saw a barren coast, the scene was wild and primitive, as if no one had ever set foot on it for thousands of years.
"You said that the city of Prandell was engulfed by dense fog...and black flames turned the buildings in the city into nothingness..." Victoria slowly turned her head, looking at Mordir with strange eyes, "but I am finally fully I see what you're talking about..."
"Well, I used declarative sentences from the beginning, but you all think that I used rhetoric." Modil spread his hands, "The things written by adventurers like me are usually documentary literature."
The old mage was very calm, but in fact at least half of the indifference on his face was fake.
He was equally astonished because although in the "dream", he saw the scene of Prandel being swallowed by thick fog and burned by black fire, but he really didn't expect such a big city to disappear just like that! And it disappeared without a trace, as if such a city had never existed on the entire coastline!
He has traveled in this world for hundreds of years, and he has never seen such a thing!
"You don't seem surprised at all?" Victoria's voice came from the side at this time, the duchess in charge of the northern region looked at her ancestors fixedly, "You said before that you didn't actually see Pulan with your own eyes. The situation after Del was completely swallowed by the thick fog..."
Modil stroked his beard with a calm expression on his face: "I have traveled on the continent for several centuries. Although I can't remember many things clearly, this vision does not make me confused."
As an ancestor, one must pay attention to his image in front of future generations...
Victoria obviously didn't think much about it, as if the words "You deserve it" were written in her calm eyes, and then her eyes fell in the direction of the Violet Coastline again.
Footsteps came from the side, and Maggie, the black-haired dragon-born maid, came to the deck.
"Prandelle City has disappeared, and the crew is waiting for your order," Maggie said with her head lowered. "Do you still want to move as planned?"
Victoria thought for a while, then nodded: "Go ahead, drop anchor four nautical miles offshore, and then send out an exploration team."
