Chapter 1530 Unexpected Confluence
Mordir has lost track of most of his adventures, and those journeys, brilliant or dangerous or interesting, now remain in his mind only in fragments, occasionally disintegrating into the messy fragments of a midnight dream , but most of the time, all that was left of them was a sense of familiarity, a sense of familiarity that made him feel from time to time that he had been somewhere, had been through something.
This kind of familiarity cannot be regarded as a mature experience, but sometimes it can also assist him to make judgments on some extraordinary things, such as the city of a thousand towers that should be in front of him, but no matter how hard he looks, there is no trace .
Hearing the old mage's judgment, Maggie couldn't help shaking her head, and immediately there was a sound of friction from the mechanical structure transmission on both sides of the slightly ferocious black dragon's head: "You mean, the City of Thousand Towers is currently in the A state where we can't see, can't touch, and even if we walk through it, we'll just 'pass through the wall'?"
"It's just a guess, I... don't know why I think so, but I always feel that I may have experienced similar things," Modil's tone was a little uncertain, "Some things exist in parallel with our real world , they may be located between the real world and a certain realm, so they will disappear from all dimensions, and they will only appear if they are observed with a specific method or wait for a specific time."
"Then what should we do now?" Maggie glanced back at the temporary camp that the previous exploration team had built when they arrived in this wilderness. Several Iron Ranger fighters were moving around in the camp, checking equipment and reinforcing the camp. The soldiers are patrolling the edge of the forest, alert to all the dangerous factors floating in the light and shadow, "We have been stranded here for four days, and we have searched around but found nothing. Mistress Victoria even sent an inquiry this afternoon."
"... Camp for one more day," Modil thought carefully, and finally nodded, "I'll test several different perception and phase switching spells, and I'll sort out my memory and thoughts by the way. If there is no progress after tonight, let's Let’s go around the dense forest to the north first, so that even if you can’t find the city of a thousand towers, you can record all the ‘monuments’ around the city of a thousand towers.”
"Okay, I'll make arrangements in a moment," Maggie nodded, and then she seemed to think of something again, "But... since we left the first cairn monument, we have been around the next few cairns. I haven't seen the magical intelligence who called herself 'Berna Dido' again, so it always seems that her original invitation was a bit suspicious. And she was the one who invited us to the City of Thousand Towers. Now we may already be at the entrance, but she Still doesn't show up..."
"If the City of Thousand Towers is really in a 'crack' state as I speculated, then it must be difficult for Bernadette, who lives in the city, to communicate with the outside world." Modir is quite open-minded." Maybe she also needs to contact us at a specific time or at a specific 'node'... Well, this is an idea, and I can look for clues from this when I do the magic test tonight."
Maggie glanced at the great adventurer quietly,
No additional comments were made——Although Mordir has the problem of forgetfulness, as a legendary mage, the old man's insights and abilities in the extraordinary field are unquestionable, and he still has some strange problems. (Although most of these experiences are messy), she had better trust the old man's judgment in this case.
"Then I'll arrange today's night guard." Miss Heilong slightly bent her neck, turned and walked towards the camp.
But as soon as she took two steps, a strange breath coming from the direction of the forest made her stop suddenly, and then she heard a faint commotion in that direction, and Maggie immediately turned her neck to look at the movement In the direction of the transmission, Mordir next to them naturally patted ten layers of mage armor on each of them, and at the same time picked up the battle staff with the other hand: "There seems to be a situation over there."
"There is our secret whistle there, but it seems that we have discovered the enemy." Maggie replied in a low voice. At this time, the soldiers in the camp also noticed the abnormal noise in the direction of the forest. Several soldiers formed a small team and quickly moved towards Maggie. Ji and Modil moved closer, but not long after everyone entered the state of combat readiness, a group of figures walked out from the edge of the forest, including two ranger soldiers who were serving as secret sentries in the forest.
After seeing the costumes of those figures, Maggie breathed a sigh of relief. She did not cancel her black dragon form, but she still signaled the soldiers beside her to put down their weapons temporarily: "Don't be nervous, it's the Typhonian expedition team."
While speaking, the group of figures had already left the edge of the forest. After walking out of the shade area where the light and shadow floated, their faces became clearer instantly. They were a group of elite soldiers wearing black light armor or short mage robes. Clothes and weapons all indicate their identities. This is a Typhon expedition team that landed on Violet Island from the east coast, and Mordir and the ranger soldiers he led are no strangers to the existence of this expedition team.
At present, all countries in the alliance have known about the disappearance of the Violet Kingdom overnight. Several countries located in the north of the mainland and having direct communication with the Violet Kingdom have sent their own explorers. Among all these countries, only Cecil and The exploration teams of the two empires of Typhon have reached such a deep position. They landed from the south coast and east coast of Violet Island respectively, and marched towards the City of Thousand Towers along two different routes. The rear headquarters of both sides are in action. The communication between them is maintained, and Typhon and Cecil also use this as a channel to occasionally share and exchange some information-but this is the first time that the two groups of people have met directly.
And it seems that those Typhon people were discovered by secret whistle in the forest. It was a sudden encounter in the shadow forest where light and shadow floated, treacherous and inexplicable, and there was no oolong caused by accidental casualties.
"It seems that we finally have neighbors here." Maggie took half a step forward, lowering her head slightly to look at the group of Typhons with somewhat embarrassed expressions on their faces. "I received a message last time that You have been around here, but you didn't expect us to be in this situation...Huh? Ms. Diana? You actually led the team yourself?"
Standing among this group of Typhonians was none other than one of the most trusted lieutenants of Emperor Augustus, the "Main Maid" with a detached position in the Obsidian Palace, Ms. Diana.
Maggie was greatly surprised by the appearance of the upper-level commander of the Typhon Empire. She did not expect such a person to lead the team in such a place, but the expression of the latter was quite indifferent. Diana looked up at the The ferocious black dragon, with a calm tone like a three-hundred-pound machine maid: "I'm sorry, our sudden appearance caused a misunderstanding by your sentinel. We originally planned to contact you through the agreed method after we left the forest area. , but I didn’t expect to meet your sentry point in the forest.”
Diana said this plainly, but the Typhon warriors beside her were a little more embarrassed than before. It’s no wonder—after all, all of them can follow the “Maid Maid” all the way to the deepest part of Violet Island The elite of the rogue army, as a team that is best at special operations and covert operations in the Typhon military system, they have always had their own pride. It is inevitable that there will be a mentality of competing for skills, and the result of this contest is that they were discovered by the two secret sentries before they even knew where the Cecil camp was... This time, they must not be regarded as the opposite of the wanderers. Textbook mocked to go to the next session?
However, these unlucky rogue soldiers also felt a little comfort in their hearts. After all, they were not the only ones who were discovered. Even Ms. Diana, who led the team, did not understand when the warning spell set by the Cecilians in the forest was triggered. The sky fell. Come down, the organic mother chief will bear...
"The rangers have always acted cautiously, and we have a more cautious and experienced adventurer as an advisor," Maggie stepped back slightly at this time, and in a burst of light, she reverted to a black-haired maid in human form Of course, she also noticed the embarrassment on the faces of these Typhons, "We arrived here four days ago, and now the surrounding forest is full of detection runes and vigilant eyes set up in the past four days , in this case, even the legendary powerhouse will be accidentally discovered."
As soon as these words came out, the rogue soldiers who were discovered by the secret sentry were relieved, but Diana, who was in charge of leading the team, immediately noticed the key words in Maggie's words: "You arrived four days ago? Then The city of a thousand towers..."
"As you can see, we are still wandering in this wilderness," Maggie said with a wry smile and spread her hands, "I am ashamed to say that we have turned over and looked at almost every stone in this wilderness in the past four days." , and did not find any traces related to the city of a thousand towers. Now we suspect that the city is hidden in the cracks parallel to the real world, hidden from our perception, but apart from this guess, we still have no progress."
Diana frowned. Although there was a certain degree of information sharing between Cecil and Typhon, this sharing was subject to various restrictions and there was a certain lag, so she didn't know what happened in the past four years. The Cecils who arrived in the target area ahead of schedule encountered trouble here, and now it seems... what they encountered was the most troublesome situation when exploring in the "vision area".
The monsters in the wilderness can be eliminated by force, and the traps in the ruins can rely on caution and dexterity. Even the rampant ancient magic, there are many corresponding knowledge and skills that can be deciphered, but a city that is close but cannot be observed ...How to deal with this thing?
At this time, Diana couldn't help but think of some of the Cecil troops outside. It is said that some Cecils trained by Princess Rebecca are very good at solving problems with explosions. Once the troubles in front of them reach a certain level To a certain extent, they will choose to ignite a large amount of explosives immediately... It seems that fortunately, it is not Her Royal Highness who leads the team to carry out this kind of exploration mission, otherwise she may have to lead the soldiers today in the Pit of Thousand Towers Spend the night next to the ruins...
"We are going to camp here for another night. Master Mordir will try some detection spells that he has not tried before to find the 'opening' of the City of Thousand Towers in the real world," Maggie continued. We set up camp nearby, so that both sides can take care of it. If you have any ideas for finding the city of a thousand towers, you can also test it yourself."
Diana glanced back at the soldiers she had brought, and then at the direction of the Cecil camp, but did not refuse Maggie's proposal: "Okay, then we won't bother you much."
Modil on the other side watched Maggie finish negotiating with Diana, and felt that he had nothing to do here, so he waved his hand: "Then if there's nothing else, I'll go to the woods south of the camp and set up warning runes. The secret whistle was triggered just now, and the warning runes should have consumed a lot..."
As he spoke, the great adventurer had already walked towards the forest not far away. Behind him was a group of Typhon rogue soldiers paying attention, and Diana, who led the team, followed him for a long time. With a calm expression, but after the old mage walked away, he still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Although it's a bit embarrassing to ask...but how many warning runes have you set up near the camp? I have always kept my secret I am quite confident in my ability to act, but..."
Maggie glanced at Ms. Diana, and couldn't help but feel a little bit amused. She thought that this lady was really as precise and ruthless as a machine. Now it seems that she is still the same about the fact that she led the team and was caught by two secret sentries. I can't get over it - the indifferent expression on her face is probably just because the iron man's head is too hard...
The muttering in her heart flashed away, and Maggie still maintained a gentle and friendly smile on her face. She raised her finger and pointed to the forest where the Typhon people came out just now: "Have you seen those trees? The trees you walked through Every tree..."
"You set up warning runes on every tree around the camp?!" Before Maggie could finish speaking, a rogue soldier behind Diana widened his eyes in astonishment, "It's no wonder..."
"No, I mean every leaf on every tree," Maggie corrected with a serious face, "every leaf has been marked by Master Mordir's magic, and this is only the first three days, until now On the fourth day, he even marked the grass around the tree—that's why I said you don't have to be embarrassed, this is that if another legendary strongman comes over, he will still be found, and it won't work for anyone.
"In fact, let alone the forest, there are even more than 1,600 magic traps piled up around the camp in the Shadow Realm, because the old man always feels that someone in the Shadow Realm is going to kill him..."
Diana listened dumbfounded. After Maggie finished speaking, she thought about it seriously, and she simply crashed...
Diana's sudden crash really shocked the Typhon soldiers around, but fortunately, the maintenance and overhaul she had done on the Ophelia Matrix was in place before, and the crash was fast and the restart was fast. After a few seconds, this The iron lady woke up slowly, and after a series of beeps and creaks came from all over her body, she said: "Why..."
Maggie opened her mouth, and she knew why, but she really didn't know how to speak—that old ancestor, who was a good Jiyou after all, had to worry about his image in front of outsiders, after all...
Legendary strongmen usually don't have much experience of being chased and beaten, but if a legendary strongman is violently beaten by all kinds of monsters every now and then, then he will become like this.
