Chapter 593 Dislocation
The moment Bertila Augustus exclaimed, Gawain's suspicion was confirmed.
The woman with an unfamiliar appearance in front of her was indeed the "old friend" she remembered, Princess Typhon seven hundred years ago, and a recognized saint among the Druid factions in the north.
However, she has completely changed her face and identity, and only part of her voice and soul remain unchanged.
She really lived seven hundred years! ! And he has become a high-ranking member of the Society for the End of All Things! !
All the chaotic thoughts flashed in an instant, but the expression on Gawain's face did not change, he strode towards Bertiera - in this space supported by the power of dreams, he fashioned himself as Typhon The appearance of the founding emperor Roland Augustus.
However, it was clear that Bertiera was not deceived by the "phantom" wearing her brother's face. She still remembered that this was an illusion space created by mental projection, and everything she saw in front of her eyes was not necessarily true - especially the Seven hundred years ago, the elder brother who had been killed under the Sentinel Tower died and was resurrected.
She doesn't know who is making this farce, but it is clear that this time the contact that should be strictly confidential has been targeted.
She stared at the approaching tall figure, and at the same time seemed to be ready to fight: "Who are you?!"
"You really let me down," Gawain responded indifferently, and at the same time he raised his right hand high, and a silver-white long sword flashing with electric light appeared in his hand, "I actually embarked on this road!"
He knew that he had already provoked Bertila's anger, and was ready to fight openly - on the battlefield of this spiritual world, he was not afraid of any form of head-to-head confrontation, especially when the opponent obviously relied on magical rituals or props A novice who can only enter the "dreamland", if you can take this opportunity to leave the mind of the other party or a few people around, you will definitely gain a lot of information.
Bertila opened her hands, and the seemingly invisible wind began to surge around her. The two elves also began to sing ancient and mysterious incantations, stirring up the power of magic. The shriveled figures in black robes also held high Raised arms as thin as firewood, brewing their own strengths.
Gawain raised his long sword - the saber of the former founding emperor of Typhon in the past, with a roar of thunder, and at the same time a slight smile was brewing at the corner of his mouth.
These people are really newbies in the dream world, and they don't understand the battle rules of this spiritual world at all.
The power of mind and spirit is the real power here, and the superficial magic or moves are just an illusion in a dream.
next second,
Bertila's figure suddenly disappeared from his eyes.
The figures of the elf sisters also disappeared.
A few figures in black robes who were as thin as firewood also disappeared quickly.
The smile at the corner of Gawain's mouth stiffened, and after a short breath, he suddenly woke up.
He woke up from the couch at the base of the pinnacle, seeing the familiar prefabricated roof and the dim light of the street lamps pouring into the house from the window, and the soft sound of amber snoring was coming from the next door.
Gao Wen: "??"
After being stunned for a moment, he realized what had happened - they were vegetables, but they were not stupid.
They unplugged the cable...
Gawain rolled over from the bed and sat up, not too immersed in this small setback, but quickly analyzed the valuable information intercepted tonight.
This was a random intrusion, and after suffering this loss, I am afraid that all things will not give him a second chance to intercept information, he must be cautious and cherish those who he hears and sees information.
Bertila Augustus has survived to this day-considering her ability as a great Druid and the policy of the Doomsday Society for hundreds of years, she should have used some kind of forbidden technique to keep her alive. , rather than the coffin that has only been unveiled in recent years like myself. Although I didn't see it clearly just now, it seemed that it wasn't just her appearance that had changed in Bertiera. There seemed to be something strange about her body... Gawain recalled that he seemed to have seen vines or roots under Bertiera's skirt. of weird things.
She fell along with the druids who had entered the Ancestral Peak and became one of the senior priests of the cult.
There are two elves with her, and they should also be priests of the death of all things with similar identities.
Those shriveled and weird "people" in black robes are the targets that all things will send signals into the wasteland, no matter what they are, they are obviously active in that wasteland... and they are collecting data, Continue to pass it on to compatriots outside.
They mentioned something called "Sacred Mutagen", a phrase that was deeply imprinted in Gawain's memory.
This is probably what those cultists have been doing all along, their goal!
They know the evil of God! They are studying the evil of God!
This originated from the Gondor Empire a thousand years ago, the product of the ultimate plan for mankind to survive the crisis of the magic tide. Gao Wen thought that all the information about them had been annihilated in the long river of history, in the millennium of disobedience fortress It was blocked, but I didn't expect it to be circulating secretly! What do those cultists want to do? To complete the unfinished business of the ancient Gondor Empire?
Is this the "great evolution" that Pittman once mentioned, the "great evolution" pursued by the believers in the death of all things?
Wait, the goal of those cultists should not be as simple as completing a biochemical experiment. The reason why cultists are called cultists is that they not only dare to think, but also dare to do... If they really reproduce the gods Evil, then they will definitely find a way to spread it everywhere, only in this way can the so-called...great evolution be achieved.
What Gawain is most grateful for now is that his previous response was correct: he did not expose himself, but used the image of "Roland Augustus" to disturb his sight, and while disturbing his sight, he set another one. Smoke screen - He believes that this smoke screen, if applied properly, must have more unexpected effects.
But we must also consider the possibility of the smoke bomb being seen through. After all, that Bertila Augustus was a very smart woman back then, and the smoke bomb he set up in a hurry was not very smart... Maybe I should think about it from the Eternal Sleeper. Ways to do some cover up and arrangements...
While thinking about it, Gawain perfected his aftermath plan, so as not to expose himself or let anyone know that he has the ability to access the Eternal Sleeper's network.
It's just that I don't know what kind of actions will be taken after the death of all things... They may hide more cautiously, or they may start some actions in advance, and the latter is actually better- In this way, they may be exposed and eliminated in advance.
...
In the territory of Anzu, in the depths of the deep underground palace, Bertila resisted the uncomfortable dizziness and the sense of soul stripping, and quickly woke up from the after-effects of mental projection.
She raised her head and saw that the Elf Twins also woke up one after the other, and looked at herself almost at the same time.
"Mind projection is not safe, our communication was overheard this time." She said gloomily.
The elf twins responded at the same time: "Fortunately, we haven't started talking about more confidential and important information, and eavesdroppers can't grasp our next actions."
"The important thing is who it is," Bertila said in a deep voice, "ta disguised as Roland..."
"Actually... we sensed a breath," the elf twins said, "that was the power fluctuation after using the eternal sleep secret technique. Although we were in a state of mind projection at the time, we had a lot of dealings with the eternal sleepers, and we were more familiar with them in the dreamland. The feeling of exercising power.”
"Sure enough, those cowards who weave illusions and indulge in dreams," Bertila's eyes became colder, "I already knew that those who indulge in dreams are not trustworthy..."
But then, she woke up from her anger, and by regulating her own nerves and hormones, she forced herself to think calmly.
"Even those eternal sleepers who are addicted to dreams... are not fools and idiots, they will not eavesdrop in such a stupid way, and they will not be caught by us... The psychic projection device is made by them, if they If I really want to do some small things, I can directly move my hands and feet in the magic device..."
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at the elf twins: "Contact the Eternal Sleepers directly, tell them the problem with the psychic projection device, and tell them that outsiders may be invading the device - see what they will say."
Blind suspicion or suspicion is stupid, as is blind trust.
It is better to ask directly than to cover up. She chooses to communicate directly with the eternal sleeper. If there is really an outsider, then the "expert" the eternal sleeper will definitely be able to find the other party faster than herself, and if the eternal sleeper is really doing it herself. This kind of stupidity... Then a direct confrontation will make them more exposed.
The day of great evolution is approaching, and she must eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible.
...
Deep in the wasteland, the creeping forest began to move again.
Those weird trees with countless roots and branches and twisted faces wriggled forward in the night. The speed of their movement seemed unpleasant, but in fact it was far better than the footsteps of human beings. It didn't take long. This creeping forest gradually crossed the effective range of psychic projection.
"What happened..." The giant tree headed murmured in a low and chaotic voice, his tone was full of disdain, "It has nothing to do with the overall situation."
...
Gawain waited patiently until the next morning.
After learning about Gawain's experience in the dream last night, Amber was stunned.
For this half-elf who was his own guard, was in charge of the intelligence department, and already knew a lot of secrets, Gawain did not hide his experience, but what shocked Amber the most was the "ancient" Bertila Augustus. exist.
"That Bertiera is a human who has lived for seven hundred years?! And she still looks alive now?!" The half-elf lady stared at Gawain, "Did you know her back then? Even familiar?"
"I know her brother very well. For a long time - at least five years, she also called me brother," Gawain looked at the half-elf who was obviously too excited, and didn't understand that this guy was hearing this information Why did she get so excited after that, even if she was the intelligence chief, she really should be interested in this information, the light in this guy's eyes was a bit too obvious, "But that was all back then, and now things are different— - She's one of the leaders of a cult, and the cult obviously wants to do something, and that's the crux of the matter."
But Amber obviously doesn't care much about the key point of this question, because her next sentence is: "Then she is one of the more than 80 princesses?"
Gao Wen was stunned to react for more than 20 seconds before he remembered that he should shoot this half-elf into the wall.
However, Amber, who was full of crisis sense, had already sensed the murderous aura jumping two meters away.
"You should be concerned about something serious," Gao Wen glared at the guy fiercely, and then his face became serious, "Go to the door to guard, I want to contact the local, and I won't see outsiders for the time being."
He wants to use the established magic net connection to contact Hetty in Cecil City and make some arrangements in advance.
——When there is a need for more data transfer, multi-person meetings or experiments, the mind network and the origin space are relatively easy to use, but when the information needs to be conveyed as soon as possible, the magic net terminal is still more convenient than the immersion cabin that needs to be prepared in advance. . As for the security level of the two, in this era when there is only one magic network communication technology, it is actually the same, as long as it is prevented from being eavesdropped.
Gawain's special magic net communication terminal placed beside the desk was quickly activated. Relying on the relay devices set up at several forward bases and on the "Black Forest Highway" along the way, the clear and powerful communication signal spanned the distance of space. , bringing the distant sounds and images closer to Gawain.
Hetty's figure appeared in the holographic projection - with a little dark circles under his eyes.
It doesn't look like it was drawn...
She seems to be so busy lately that she has compressed her rest time.
Gawain couldn't help but feel a little bit of concern and worry, as well as a hint of guilt.
Because he has more work for Hetty to do next...
