Chapter 1555 "Neighbors" Who Met for the First Time

Latest URL:

Amber and Mordir were gone, and the way they came from was also gone, and he was sent into this drowsy giant city alone, completely cut off from the outside world—this situation seemed to be different from what Gawain expected .

But for a trip to the realm of the ancient gods, anything that happens seems to be "expected".

Gawain looked around quickly, taking in everything he could see. He tried to perceive the breath of Amber or Mordir, but found nothing within the range of his perception. He was indeed standing alone in this empty space. In the huge city, it was as if he was the only one walking here from the beginning to the end. The road he came from had disappeared, and there were only layers of towers and houses in front of him, which seemed to be repeating constantly.

Gao Wen took a deep breath, he didn't know where Amber went, and he didn't know where Mordir was at the moment, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried or nervous, but he still forcibly calmed down after a moment of nervousness, he Knowing that this should be Ms. Ye's deliberate arrangement - in this "City of Thousand Towers", everything is under the control of Ms. Ye. After the counter tide disappears, there is no factor in this area that can affect the ancient woman. God's authority, so since he is facing such a weird situation at this moment, then this situation is not a surprise.

After trying to stabilize his mind, Gao Wen felt that his heartbeat was slowly calming down. He recalled the information he had collected before coming here, and raised his head to distinguish the shadowy streets in this "City of Thousand Towers" from the distant city. The silhouette of the building, try to find a way forward here - since Ms. Ye took the initiative to invite me to come, then she definitely didn't bring herself here to amuse people, maybe this is the place to meet.

Soon, his eyes locked on the tallest and most eye-catching shadow in the depths of the city.

The shadow is hazy, as if shrouded in thick clouds and mist, showing an appearance that changes at any time. Under the dim and gray sky, it looks uncertain. It is taller than any palace or tower around it, as if overlooking the whole city. The city is generally high and entrenched in the center of the city of a thousand towers. .

Gao Wen quickly thought of the core urban area of ​​the City of Thousand Towers mentioned in the intelligence, and thought of the huge building called "Dark Palace". It is said that the Dark Palace used to be the residence of the ruler of the Violet Kingdom. After the end, the Dark Palace became the "private residence" of Prince Nash, the gatekeeper of the Shadow God Kingdom. According to Modil and Maggie's speculation, this "Dark Palace" should be the entrance to the Shadow God Kingdom.

It seems that the hazy and towering huge shadow in the distance should be the dark palace - Gao Wen quickly made a judgment in his mind, and then walked towards the direction of the shadow.

In the drowsy and silent ancient city, only the footsteps of a visitor broke the ancient tranquility. The sound of boots treading on the ground echoed in the long street, and the pointed houses on both sides of the street were watching that person like guards lined up silently. The figure walking down the long street, the dark doors, the dark walls, and the black windows embedded in the walls are like speechless mouths and empty eyes, maintaining a strange silence under the gray sky.

Gao Wen even had some kind of illusion, he felt that the houses facing the street seemed to be casting a series of gazes, some kind of gazes that spanned time and space were falling on him blankly, and the owners of these gazes came from a hundred years ago. They have lived in this city simulated by some kind of data technology since 870,000 years ago. It was the ancient times of this planet, and even the giant dragons of Tarrond were called "Northern barbarians" , the era when even the gods of the dragon clan were still young and immature—these gazes from across time and space were empty and indifferent, and became more and more real as Gao Wen moved forward.

In the end, Gao Wen stopped on the street. He stood there and pondered for a while, then turned and walked straight to the nearest house, and pulled open the wooden door that was concealed.

A tall, thin figure with a black runecloth belt wrapped around his body stood at the door,

Constrained by the runecloth is a mass of chaotic black mist that looks like a human being—a shadow dweller, standing there, using his face without facial features to face Gawain face to face, of course no expression change can be seen on the runecloth. But Gao Wen felt that this guy was a little embarrassed.

Gao Wen recalled some knowledge about the shadow dwellers - these mysterious shadow dwellers will not deal with "outsiders", and they have been in a chaotic state that could get out of control at any time for a long time, the shadow dwellers will take the initiative to attack any stepping Intruders into its territory, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

But Gawain confronted the shadow resident in front of him for two seconds, and at the first moment he felt that the other person seemed to be different from what he knew. Inside the door, Gawain still sensed a feeling that seemed to be able to communicate with him. This feeling is very subtle, but Gawain is almost sure that the "shadow dweller" in front of him is the same as the one known to the world. Not the same.

Suddenly, a cognition appeared in his mind out of thin air—this is the shadow dweller who returned to the city of a thousand towers, who completed the ceremony of "returning to the night" and wandered in chaos for more than one million years. After that, finally reached the end of the shadow dwellers.

And at the moment when this cognition emerged from his heart, Gao Wen noticed that there seemed to be some changes in the clouds and mist in the body of the shadow dweller in front of him, and some ripples appeared on the face of the other party who had no facial features. Blessed to the heart, he asked casually: "What are you looking at?"

The shadow resident on the opposite side was silent for two seconds, probably not reacting all at once, and then a vague and trembling voice sounded from the depths of his "bandage": "...Look at the fun."

It is possible to communicate!

Even though Gao Wen took the initiative to ask the question, to be honest, he really didn't expect to hear the answer from the other party. When the chaotic and indistinct voice reached his ears, even he was blindfolded, and then he reacted instantly, He suddenly looked up and looked around the entire street.

In every house in this city, behind every door and every window, there is a line of sight, and every line of sight comes from "them", this is their "true state" - the original shadow dwellers It is possible to communicate, and the past situation of non-communication and blind attack is nothing but a long sleepwalking.

Many fragmented information about the Shadow Realm in the past were quickly combined at this moment. The series of huge and far-reaching impacts on the Shadow Realm, the Shadow Residents, and the Violet Kingdom during Ms. Ye's sleep and return process became in Gawain's mind. The chain is clear, but these storms in his mind did not affect Gao Wen's conversation with the aborigine in front of him. He quickly collected himself and looked at the tall and thin figure in front of him: "Come on, you are all watching the fun behind the door." Woolen cloth?"

The tall, thin and weird black figure was silent for two seconds again, and pointed to a row of houses in the distance: "No, there are still some behind the windows."

"...Is there something wrong with you?" Gao Wen's expression almost froze for a moment. The eerie, eerie, and mysterious atmosphere that had been haunting him since he stepped into the city of a thousand towers was now shattered. The void staring across time and space that he felt along the way turned out to be physically real, and there really was a whole city of shadow dwellers hiding behind the door and staring at him. Thinking of this, he felt Another layer of goosebumps appeared, and another sense of creepiness emerged from the bottom of my heart, "It's your custom to hide behind the doors and windows and stare at the guests?"

"The hostess said that the guests have come from afar and are not used to the scenery in the city, so let us stay at home and not come out to scare people," the tall, thin and strange black shadow said honestly, "but he didn't say that we can't watch the excitement secretly ..."

Gao Wen: "...Is your mistress a little..."

He really couldn't hold back at this time. Although what happened during the journey to visit the ancient god's domain can be regarded as a "expected" situation, but the current situation really made him unable to adapt. He wanted to say something about tigers and wolfs, but just in the middle of his words, a slightly lazy and majestic voice suddenly descended from a high altitude, interrupting all his movements: "Sorry, it seems to have caused you a little bit. bothered."

The moment the voice appeared, Gao Wen felt a gaze with a majestic aura fall on him, and he heard the voice echoing throughout the city, as if even the breath of heaven and earth froze in these words. After he got down, he realized the source of the sound and sight—he looked in the direction he felt, and what he saw was his previous target, which was the dark palace standing in the center of the city. the monstrous shadow.

The huge shadow turned to this side, and at the top of the shadow, a pair of amber eyes were quietly watching Gawain through the clouds.

It wasn't a dark palace at all, nor was it a towering tower—that was Lady Ye.

He stands in his country like a mountain, and his figure covers the city like a dark cloud. He overlooks the earth from the clouds, and with the limit of mortal eyesight, he still cannot see his full posture.

Before today, Gao Wen had only seen such a mammoth and astonishing figure once—in Tarrond, the Dragon of Disorder, which was enough to cover the entire continent, was also as amazing... No, it was even more amazing than Lady Ye's posture It's even more astonishing, because it was transformed by the "gods" after all.

The shadow resident standing in the doorway bowed respectfully in the direction of Ms. Ye and saluted: "I salute you, Lord of the Night."

"Well," Ms. Ye's voice descended from the sky, "Go ahead, I want to talk to my guest."

"Yes." The tall and thin black figure immediately responded, and without saying hello to Gao Wen, he stepped back into the shadow of the house, and the black door with no visible material creaked shut. There was no more movement from inside.

In the next moment, Gao Wen felt that all the gazes from the street had dissipated, whether it was from behind the door or behind the window, all the sense of prying eyes disappeared completely in an instant, and he even felt that it had dissipated. It's not just the eyes - those shadow residents who were originally in the house seemed to "disappear" out of thin air after receiving Ms. Ye's order, and there was no more breath coming.

It feels as if the natives of the shadows have temporarily become "non-existent" to allow room for their hostesses to entertain.

There are many mysteries under the night, but Gao Wen's attention is no longer on these insignificant details. He raised his head and stared calmly at the towering silhouette standing in the center of the city. The clouds and mist surrounding the figure seemed to have lightened. One point, in the slightly clearer outline, Gao Wen had a vague sense of familiarity.

But before he could ask a question, Ms. Ye's voice reached his ears first: "They have just returned to me, and the effects of the long chaotic state have not completely subsided, and their words and deeds may still be a little weird. Please forgive me for causing trouble.”

"They... you mean the shadow dwellers living in this city?" Gawain frowned. It seemed that his judgment just now was correct. The "shadow dwellers" in this city were indeed known to the world. Those "wanderers" are different, they are in a state of "after return", and then, he thought of the "knowledge" that emerged in his mind just now, which made his expression a little serious, " Some 'knowledge' about the shadow dwellers suddenly appeared in my mind just now, are these things instilled in me by you? Is this some kind of mental influence?"

"...I won't do such rude things, and it's not realistic to mentally interfere with a special 'mortal' like you," Ms. Ye said with a slight smile in her voice, "could it be Isn’t it? An outsider in the sky, my neighbor for many years—your memory is not so easy to manipulate, you know this better than me.”

Gao Wen's expression was calm, and he was not surprised by Ms. Ye's statement in his heart.

The world only knows that Ms. Ye is an ancient god who has survived for millions of years, but he also knows that the current "body" of this ancient god is actually a legacy of a voyager in the sky station. That anchor point generator is Ms. Ye's real "home", and on the other hand, he himself occupies an ancient monitoring satellite, and now he has become half of the administrator of Sky Station through authority replacement—— He and Ms. Ye are indeed neighbors.

They have lived side by side for hundreds of thousands of years.

This can be regarded as a wonderful bond of karma, but this "friendship" did not let him relax at all. The mysterious purpose and unpredictable temper of the ancient god in front of him kept him cautious: "In this case, how did you Instilled that knowledge in me?"

"That's not my indoctrination, but the trickle of hundreds of thousands of years in the past - my neighbor, the sky on-orbit facility group is our common shelter, in the same data system, many things I know In fact, you can also know, and some of the things you witnessed can also be reflected on my side more or less. I didn’t instill anything in you, I just let you 'recall' some knowledge that you already knew That's all."

Gao Wen was finally stunned. This was an answer he hadn't expected. He blurted out in surprise: "You mean, some of my memories and yours are interlinked?!"

He still hasn't said half a word - why doesn't he know about it? !

"It's not yet at the level of 'intercommunication', but there is indeed a little intersection," Ms. Ye's voice descended from the sky, calm and a little lazy, "Part of the reason for inviting you here this time is also related to this matter. Relevant—of course more importantly, to discuss with you the future of this world, your own future, and by the way... hand over some 'inheritance' that should be handed over to all beings in this world."
