Chapter 236 Deep Space

The ruins in the mountains, the "Ring Magic Gate" hall at the bottom of the facility.

Since the discovery of this mysterious ancient Might and Magic Gate, Gawain has left six soldiers here to guard it in shifts - due to the further exploration of this ancient facility by the Byron Knights, this ruin has gradually been led by Cecil. Taking advantage of it, its middle-level area is now being gradually transformed into military factories and storage facilities. Magic nets have been laid in many places, magic spar lamps and living facilities have been installed, and many long-term soldier dormitories have been added. Therefore, the facilities There are not a few soldiers on duty in the medium and long term.

Gawain brought Hetty and Pittman, plus a Kraken full of "Evil God Knowledge" (Eating Direction) skill points, and selected a group of elite soldiers, and rushed to the place where Might and Magic was located. .

A small group of garrisoned soldiers had gathered in the wide rotunda. Knight Byron was leading his subordinates to watch the movement of Might and Magic. When Gawain came in, the middle-aged knight was pulling a soldier seriously. It was not easy to see this serious expression on the face of this old fritters, which made Gawain immediately realize that the situation might be more complicated than he expected.

He went straight to Byron: "How's it going?"

When Byron saw Gawain, he gave a knightly salute—he was currently leading the expedition to the southern part of the ruins in the mountains to find an exit, but after hearing the news of the Might and Magic change, he immediately brought people to the scene, Bi Gao Wen arrived a lot earlier, so he had a good understanding of the situation: "Sir, we haven't figured out how Might and Magic was suddenly activated. The soldiers on duty here seem to have suffered a mental shock, and their memory of the scene at that time is very vague. ."

Gawain looked up in the direction of the ring-shaped Might and Magic Gate—that thing was indeed activated.

The ring-shaped device made of an unknown synthetic material is now exuding a dark blue magic halo, and the runes and magic lines inscribed on the Might and Magic Gate are now in a clearly charged state, a low humming. The sound is coming from the base of the ring, and in the center of the ring, you can see a hazy phantom that is constantly shaking and seems to be in a superimposed state of two spaces.

The soldiers stationed here are experienced and obedient elites, they don't move anything without an order, and they don't deliberately hide when reporting the situation, so the only explanation is that this Might and Magic is really activated by itself.

And when it is activated, it will cause a certain degree of mental shock to the people around it - not fatal, but enough to cause a trance.

What activates Might and Magic?

Gawain immediately thought of the isolation doors that opened automatically in the entrance hall of the ruins. Similar incidents occurred in the early days of the establishment of the pioneering leader, but the reason for the isolation door opening at that time was the surge of magic power, and the sudden change of magic power environment stimulated it. The remaining magic organs in the ruins opened the door by accident, but it seems that there has been no similar magic turmoil recently, and there is no report from the monitoring satellite...

No, there seems to be a rather special event...

The stars return.

Gawain's expression became serious. The only event in the recent period that could lead to various anomalies was "The Return of the Stars". Although ordinary people could not perceive the impact of the return of the stars on this world, its impact was It really exists, and it seems to be related to God.

This ancient facility seems to have been built for the purpose of studying the "secrets of the gods".

Could it be that this gate is not actually closed due to damage or energy exhaustion, but has been waiting for the opportunity to open?

"Ancestor?" Seeing that Gao Wen didn't speak for a long time, Heidi's expression became more and more serious, and he couldn't help but ask, "What did you think of?"

"This door may have been activated automatically according to the orders set by the magisters in the Starfire Age," Gawain said slowly, and looked at Knight Byron, "Has anyone entered?"

"Not yet," Knight Byron shook his head. "The situation is too strange. You told me at the time that if you encounter such a situation that is too bizarre or may be related to God, you must not act rashly, and you must keep the scene until you arrive."

"Very good," Gawain nodded approvingly, then looked at the automatically-running magic door with a little regret, "If only Amber was here..."

Amber was sent by him to collect "active people from the people" and has yet to return. Although it is unclear how her progress is, Gawain is confident in the wild half-elf with full escape skills, but it will inevitably be inconvenient if the other party is not there. For example, right now, he really wanted to find a recyclable amber detector and throw it across from the Might and Magic Gate to see the situation - however, he didn't.

But Might and Magic had already been activated, so he couldn't just leave it alone.

"Pitman..." Gawain thought for a while, then turned to look at the old Druid beside him, "You..."

"My lord, I'm getting old!" Pitman immediately burst into tears, "I have eighty to support myself, and I have..."

Gao Wen's veins jumped: "Shut up, I'll let you summon a tree man in!"

"Oh."

Pittman took out an enchanted seed from his arms, chanted a short incantation in a low voice, and then threw the seed on the ground. With the surge of magic, the seed immediately began to grow at an astonishing rate. When it got up, the magic power constructed its temporary body, and an element tree man with a height of just over one meter quickly appeared in front of everyone.

Under everyone's attention, this unremarkable tree-man ran staggeringly towards the huge ring-shaped device in the center of the hall with comical steps, and disappeared into the hazy piece of the ring-shaped device in a twist of light and shadow. in phantom.

The moment the tree man disappeared, Pittman let out a surprised "Huh".

"What's the matter?" Heidi asked nervously immediately.

"The spiritual connection between me and the summons has been severed," Pittman said with an odd expression, "for a moment."

"The other side of Might and Magic might be some kind of phase space, or the realm of shadows," Gawain said, not too surprised, "the magisters of the ancient Gondor Empire often did this, and they would use similar space technology to store important Confidentiality, phase space, and the Shadowlands are the surest safes."

"No...it's not like a cut off to that extent," Pittman said with a slightly serious expression, "Even the Shadow Realm cannot completely cut off the connection between Druids and summons, even if direct control is cut off. , I can also sense the existence of the summoned creature, but now I have completely lost the perception of the tree man, as if it disappeared directly from this world..."

The atmosphere in the hall became serious, but Pittman then said: "But we can wait a little longer, I set an order for the tree man, if the mental connection is completely cut off, then it will lose my order for three minutes. Then go back the same way - as long as it's not destroyed."

Gao Wen nodded when he heard the words, turned around and stared closely at the direction of Might and Magic.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no movement in the Might and Magic Gate, but just when Gawain thought the Treant would never come back, he suddenly saw the hazy light and shadow in the center of the Might and Magic Gate tremble.

The unremarkable tree-man ran out of the gate with that comical staggering gait.

It looked clumsy and dazed when it first ran out, but soon, it re-established a spiritual connection with Pittman, and the elemental creature maintained with magical power immediately ran back to its owner.

"...No damage," Pittman quickly checked the tree man's condition, and raised his head to report to Gao Wenhui, "The degree of magic power dissipation is also within the normal value, and the opposite side of the gate seems to be a safe space, and the structure is also very stable. "

"In other words, you can go in and check the situation," Gawain couldn't help but sighed, "It seems that the technology of the ancient Gondor Empire is still trustworthy. Hetty, Tyr, you two go in with me to check the situation, Byron, Pittman, you two are out there."

After giving the order, Gawain selected a group of capable soldiers, and then led his hands to the ancient Might and Magic Gate that was running quietly in the center of the hall.

In the process of passing through the hazy light and shadow in the center of the gate, Gawain did not feel the violent dizziness he had expected. It was as if he had walked through a cool mist of water. After a brief blur of vision, the scene in front of him was already the space behind the door.

A wide rectangular hall is presented in front of the exploration team.

This hall is made of unknown synthetic materials. You can see all kinds of huge equipment with unknown functions as far as you can see. There are also wide trails and research platforms between the equipment. To Wen's astonishment, it wasn't pitch black here - even though this place has been closed for a thousand years, it still has residual energy! Several lighting fixtures at the top of the hall are still in operation, and a slightly yellow light illuminates the space!

Not even the lighting, but a few of those huge devices in the hall were still activated, the magic runes on their surfaces still shining, and a low hum would occasionally come from one of the devices.

"This is... unbelievable..." Heidi looked at the sight in front of her in astonishment, "The things here are still working?!"

Gawain clenched the long sword in his hand: Since the explosion of the deep blue magic well, all the complex magic devices of the ancient Gondor Empire have become useless, even if they have been preserved to this day, they cannot be activated. It's just a simple device with a simple structure and low energy requirements, but these seemingly complex and sophisticated devices are still running, which is really weird.

"Everyone should be vigilant, the magic device here is still working, and it is not ruled out that the ancient automatic defense device is still activated," he loudly reminded everyone in the team, "Hetty, always pay attention to the magic around you. Flow, there is a sharp change in the energy response that tells me right away."

"Yes," Hetty clenched her long staff, and while responding, frowned and glanced at the closed hall, "Ancestor... Is this hall still located in our main material world?"

"It's hard to say, but the environment here is obviously not the Shadow Realm," Gawain replied, "It's just... I don't know if the environment outside the hall is the same as the inside."
