Chapter 1533: Resonance Between Reckless and Bullying

The city of a thousand towers will open its doors to every invited visitor—but only if the visitor has the ability to find out the existence of this door by himself.

This is the rule set by the master of the night for this city, and it is also part of the authority of "shadow" and "night", just as practitioners of the holy light need to conform to the essence of the holy light in words and deeds in order to contact those who are safe and harmless. Scorching brilliance, in this realm that is infinitely close to the Kingdom of Shadow God, visitors must also meet the requirements of the Way of Shadow to successfully open this city ruled by Eternal Night.

The closer one gets to a god, the more obvious and irreversible the power of this "symbolic behavior" and "specific order" becomes.

The good news is that those invited visitors were wise and lucky enough to find the door hidden by light and shadow. The bad news is that these visitors have more courage and imagination than necessary-the way they open the door is amazing. Shock.

It also shocked the city's administrator, Prince Nash (Physical).

The cold night wind blew over the dark palace, and Prince Nash was a little more awake in the night wind. He came to the edge of the terrace and looked up at the "sky", and saw that the dark land was hanging upside down above his head, and the land was still fine. See some stretches of lights, where the mortal visitors who visit the place temporarily stay.

It is nighttime now, and the influence of the shadow powers on the land is at its peak.

Since Ms. Ye woke up, the City of Thousand Towers, a city that was once an entity in the real world, has returned to a certain "mythical state". The "reflection" appeared above the "ruins" of the former city. It was the last trace left in the world after the violet dream subsided, and it was also the entrance to the mysterious kingdom of shadow gods left in the world.

"...I need to ask the Lord of the Night's opinion." After hesitating for a moment, Prince Nash nodded slightly to Bernadette, who was floating by his side, "The visitors have taken unexpected actions. It is in line with the operation rules of the city of a thousand towers - this city has now returned to the state of mythology. Stepping into the city of a thousand towers is equivalent to stepping half a foot into the kingdom of God, even if it is for the safety of the visitors themselves, when opening the door It also has to be rigorous."

Bernadette nodded: "Okay, then you can ask - I will continue to pay attention to the movement of those people on the surface with the eyes of the night."

As she spoke, this magical intelligence stepped back two steps to the side. Her mind had been connected to a magical mechanism somewhere in the dark palace, and she began to monitor the next move of the mortals on the surface through monitoring spells, while Prince Nash just stood there. He waved his hand on the spot, and in an instant, the upside-down land above his head disappeared like smoke, replaced by a scene of deep starry sky—he looked towards the darkest direction in the starry sky, and then let go of his body and mind to conduct a respectful speech. communicate.

The switch between the starry sky and the earth did not affect the state of the City of Thousand Towers itself.

And this is part of the "truth" of this city, and even Lady Ye's authority - entity and virtual image, reality and reflection, all these boundaries are fuzzy and plastic in front of the Lord of the Night, the so-called authority of the shadow is actually It is the power of light and shadow. The City of Thousand Towers can be the projection of the earth, the earth can also be the projection of the sky, and the sky... can even be the projection of Lady Ye.

Among the endless and vast stars, there seemed to be a cold but soft gaze watching. Prince Nash felt this gaze, his soul trembled slightly, and then he told his mistress everything that happened here. After waiting for a long time, he got a response, and the faint sense of staring in the starry space also subsided-the starry sky disappeared, and the upside-down earth appeared above the dark palace again, and Bernadette's voice came from the side: "You The communication is very fast, how did the master of the night reply...why is your face so weird?"

Prince Nash's expression was more than weird. He glanced at Bernadette almost blankly, and his tone was erratic: "I told the lady what those visitors did..."

Bernadette frowned and looked at the other party: "Yes, I know, and then?"

"The lady told me: awesome."

Bernadette: "...?"

Prince Nash: "...Don't look at me like that, I don't know why."

"Do you feel that...the lady has been a little weird since she woke up?" The silence on the terrace lasted for an unknown amount of time before Bernadette finally couldn't help breaking the silence, "I know it's a bit rude to say that, But you also know that last time the lady even entertained a group of lost mortals on the side of the throne, and she recently...Of course, my judgment may also be wrong, after all, I was created after the lady fell into a deep sleep. What you know is only the information recorded in the big library, but you should know the lady's original..."

"Maybe it's the long slumber that changed the Lord of the Night, or maybe it's because he wanted to try something new in his long life," Nash shook his head, "Actually, the lady's personality was put on everyone's mind many years ago. God is also a special one. Of course, her situation may not have been so severe at that time... Forget it, we shouldn't discuss these Passover matters. Since the lady has approved the behavior of the visitors, it means that Such an action will not provoke a blowback from the city of a thousand towers—open the gates, Bernadette."

...

"I think there's something in that city staring at us," Maggie, who had turned into a human form, suddenly raised her head at the edge of the camp, staring at the upside-down city in the sky and frowned, "Since just now, there's been something There is a sense of gazing."

Mordir next to him was brushing shields, shields, resistance, and blessings for the summoned mage eyes at this time. Hearing this, he also looked up at the sky, and the old mage shrugged calmly: "Normal, such a big city is floating in the air." It's in the sky, and it's still the legendary 'City of a Thousand Towers', there must be something 'alive' in it, and the noise we knocked on the door was so loud, it's strange that there is nothing in the city staring at it."

"Then why didn't they take any action?" Diana on the other side frowned, "Didn't you say this was an invitation from Ms. Ye? How did this happen now? You fired anti-aircraft artillery into the sky, and thousands Tower City responded silently..."

"I don't know, it couldn't be that the few shots just killed the people in the city," Modil blew his beard, "at least Ms. Ye stayed to watch the door, and a few small-caliber anti-aircraft guns did it." To that city, the sound coming out should be equivalent to knocking hard on the door... Alright, the mage's eyes are ready, I'll put these things on it first to see the situation."

While speaking, the old mage waved his hand towards the sky, and then several fully armed mage eyes fluttered away from the surroundings of them, and began to fly towards the hanging city—normal mage eyes usually only have The size of a human fist, but each of them is about half the size of a car after being processed by Modil, surrounded by layers of various shield spells, which makes Maggie couldn't help muttering: "Every time I look at I even want to say, it’s a good thing they can still fly.”

Modil waved his hand when he heard the words: "Of course it can fly, and the magic shield has no weight, so it looks thick..."

Just as the old mage was halfway through his words, a sudden buzzing sound from the sky interrupted his follow-up words. He followed the sound in surprise, and saw a sudden change in the city that had always remained silent. At some point, a strong dark purple light beam condensed above the tallest building in the city center, and in the next second, the light beam directly spanned a long distance like a long bridge, directly falling from the center of the city of a thousand towers to the surface ——It landed right in the middle of the camps of the Cecilians and the Typhonians!

This sudden change shocked everyone, and even the well-informed Mordir snapped off a few of his beards. He looked in amazement at the bridge that connected heaven and earth like a bridge with a width of about several Mi's dark purple light flow, seeing that light slowly floating in the night, it seems to contain thousands of stars, and a gentle power is released from the light flow, so that everyone who looks at it seems to feel some kind of Peace of mind.

"This is..." Diana couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't expect that she was still talking about the silent response of the City of Thousand Towers a second ago, and the latter really gave such a "response" in the next second, " Is this a response to what we just did?"

"Could this be the 'gate' leading to that city?" Maggie thought of something more realistic. While she was guessing, she walked cautiously towards the place where the light beam landed. His Majesty Wen's instructions were a little 'reckless', so he passed Ms. Ye's 'test'?"

"Don't be so hasty to jump to conclusions," Mordir also followed Maggie towards the light beam, and said cautiously as he walked, "This thing appeared too suddenly, and there is no marker at all, we should first Throw something in the past to test it..."

Maggie was a little hesitant: "It's better not to, His Majesty just reminded us that we can be 'a little' reckless, will it be counterproductive to take more actions than necessary?"

"I didn't say I was going to throw a bomb in it, I was talking about throwing a summoned object in it, such as a pathfinder like a mana servant..."

Mordir and Maggie were communicating in low voices quickly, but just as they communicated, they saw the light flow in front of them suddenly change again, and dots of shimmering lines appeared near the place where the light landed, Immediately afterwards, these lines quickly condensed and combined into an arrow pointing straight to the sky obliquely above.

Mordill & Maggie: "..."

In the next second, line after line of writing began to appear next to the arrow: "The entrance to the city of a thousand towers; please step into the stream of light to enter the city; the city of a thousand towers has opened its doors to visitors; you have passed the test; take a step forward And make sure you stand still; don't guess it's really the gate; stop throwing explosives this way!"

The three figures next to Guangliu looked at each other, and the awkward atmosphere began to flow silently in the night. After a while, Modil broke the silence with a smile: "Look, this is at least a positive response."

Maggie looked at the old mage, and then at Diana who was silent on the other side: "Then...shall we go in and have a look?"

Mordir laughed: "Of course, that's why we're here."

...

Gao Wen rubbed the space between his brows, and put the last report sent by the Theocratic Council in the past two days on the table.

The blockade of the church area is still ongoing, but after more than 48 hours of continuous monitoring and the preliminary judgment of the situation by the senior consultant, the alert level of the entire area has been lowered from "reality pollution" to "divine abnormality". Apart from the astounding "traces", no new visions occurred in various churches, and there was no report of any priest being contaminated.

According to this trend, the blockade of the church district should end in the near future.

After all, "church activities" are an indispensable social chain in this world where God does exist. Even the theocratic council and the royal family cannot block all the churches in the capital indefinitely without proper reasons. Especially now that the council has roughly figured out the cause of the vision, the possibility of the gods getting out of control can be ruled out, and the lifting of the blockade must be put on the agenda.

Of course, no matter whether it is Gao Wen or the Theocratic Council, everyone knows that there is something wrong with the gods. The end of the church blockade only shows that this matter is not harmful to the world, but for the gods... this matter It's far from over.

"Saint Princess" Veronica stood quietly by Gao Wen's desk, and after noticing that the latter had finished reading the document, she said softly, "What do you think of the investigation report of the arbitration tribunal?"

"Similar phenomena have happened to the high-ranking priests of various churches," Gao Wen rubbed his brows, the things mentioned in the report are still ups and downs in his mind, and new clues and conclusions are constantly being extended. I felt a serious violation when I was performing high-level divine arts. The specific manifestations are that I lost the "sense of gaze of the gods" and could not perceive the "temperature of the divine will". The higher the level, the closer the priests are to the gods. Apparently, a few Chosen Ones and one Chosen One even made it clear that they felt like their gods had turned into empty shells, and there was only a hollow, mechanical response from the throne.”

"Yes, and during this process, all the divine spells of the various churches are in effect as usual," Veronica nodded lightly, and at the same time raised her hand to cast a faint radiance, which enveloped Gawain, making him The mental exhaustion of the latter dissipated most of it in an instant, "Even in a few tests, the efficiency of divine spells has increased a little bit—although the increase has even reached a level that even the instruments can barely detect. But the 'synergies' do exist."

Gawain was silent for a short while, his eyes fell on Veronica, strictly speaking, on the faintly floating holy light around the latter, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said softly: "It's just like the holy light." God."

"Yes, it's almost like the God of Light—this kind of empty feeling and mechanical response is a novelty and a little scary thing for those 'ordinary' priests, but for those who have prayed to the God of Light It is a very familiar feeling to the past priests," Veronica nodded lightly, "even though those fanatical believers in the Holy Light have always insisted that this kind of empty and mechanical response is the God of Holy Light. Just and noble proof, and all kinds of 'divine will' made up by myself, but now we know unequivocally that the feeling is praying to a non-thinking answering machine."

"Yes, answering machines that can't think," Gawain exhaled softly, "so this is the most likely answer. All the gods have become answering machines that can't think. There is only divinity left. And this should be the result of Ms. Ye's efforts."

"Ms. Ye..." Even Veronica couldn't help but waver in front of this conclusion, "What exactly does that ancient god want to do, and how did he do it?"

Gao Wen thought about it carefully, and thought that maybe it wasn't that ancient god who raised a stick and dropped a dozen brain-dead patients...
