Those traces of corruption and pollution cannot be formed overnight. They are most likely the "nursery" where the "countertide" was born in this tower, or the traces left after the "countertide" activities. If According to the information provided by Tallond, the appearance of those traces can most likely be traced back to ancient times¡ªas far back as millions of years ago, on the eve of the destruction of the Counter-Tide Empire by the dragon.
But when did that crack appear?
Gawain didn't know, maybe everyone didn't know, that the crack clearly showed a state of "non-interference" with the entire hall, penetrating the material world like a phantom, crossing steel and air, Gawain was completely unable to Judging from the surrounding traces how long the crack has been here, it may even have existed here before the tower was built, or it may not have been quietly formed until an hour ago As a thing that cannot be observed by conventional means , a "phantom" that will not interact with the surrounding material environment after it appears. It can appear at any time.
But Gawain had an instinctive guess. He thought that thing should have been in the sky above the hall for many years, and became a crack to escape.
There is no divine reaction in the tower, and no trace of spiritual pollution has been found so far. This is a disturbing signal in itself.
You must know that Modiel was contaminated by the reverse tide just moments after entering this hall, and began to immerse himself in the fanatical acquisition and worship of ancient knowledge. If the Dragon God had not carried out "interference" outside the tower, "Protection", he may not wake up until he is completely transformed into a counter-tide believer.
However, now that they have been exploring this hall for such a long time, there is still no sign of mental pollution - of course, Gawain and Amber have special physiques, and Modir carries protective runes with him, so they are indeed not susceptible to pollution. , but the current situation is that even the highly sensitive protective devices did not issue any alarms.
"Melita said she saw a huge rift outsideAlthough she doesn't have your Shadow Dust, she shares the vision of the hatchling," Gawain said casually, "The hatchling was born under the influence of the Deep Blue Webway. Dragons can see the 'dark blue cracks' that ordinary people can't see It's quite reasonable. The key now is how these cracks come from."
His eyes did not continue to stare at the floating cracks and blue light stream above the hall, but looked at a certain alloy gate on the side of the hall. After a brief thought, he walked towards that side: "We should go to the upper level to take a look. .¡±
In the "structural diagram" that emerged in his mind, the structure behind the gate was labeled "Personnel Elevator". Among the surrounding equipment with a red warning box flashing "System Failure", that passage Device lines are extremely rarely marked green.
Looking at Gawain¡¯s behavior as if he was extremely familiar with the surrounding environment, Amber and Modier did not show any doubts. They just followed immediately and came to the silver-white alloy gate.
After briefly understanding the operating instructions of this thing, Gawain raised his hand and pressed it on the wall next to the gate. A series of irregular colorful light spots appeared on the wall that originally seemed blank. The ancient silence The system was reactivated. In a series of unstable and smooth startup processes, the light spots gradually formed an image. A few simple buttons and characters flashed in front of Gawain like poorly connected lights for a few times, and finally stabilized.
Gao Wen operated the panel a few times, then heard a "ding" system prompt sound in his ears, and the locked alloy gates slid open to both sides quietly, revealing the spacious elevator car inside.
A group of three people stepped into the car, and the alloy gate was closed. With a slight vibration under their feet, an abrupt mechanical synthesized sound suddenly sounded at the same time that the car began to rise - it was a series of weird and short sounds. , is a language that no one in this world can understand. Amber and Modi were immediately startled by the sudden sound. However, in Gawain's mind, the sound was directly converted into information that he could understand: " The elevator goes up.¡±
"Don't worry, it's just the elevator's beep." Gawain casually comforted Amber, who was a little angry, and nodded gently to the serious old mage next to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, another clear image suddenly appeared on the wall opposite the elevator car. The image showed an endless vast plain, a city full of silver-white domes and tall buildings that looked extremely advanced and prosperous. The city is embedded in the plain like a huge jewel. At the end of the plain is the rising celestial body - a planet with a halo, a luminous sphere like the moon, and a distant and unfamiliar galaxy.
Amber and Modly were immediately startled again?In this vulnerability, he used the satellite data link to connect his consciousness to the main system of the Cangqiong Station, and successfully obtained partial authority certification of this main system. In a sense, he maintained a relationship with the satellites in space and the Cangqiong Station. An almost "Trinity" state, but unfortunately this "Trinity" cannot be directly transformed into the means and power to fight against the Sentinels.
Gawain felt a little toothache.
And Amber's voice sounded from the front at this moment, interrupting his already boiling mood: "Look ahead - there is indeed something going on!"
Gawain immediately calmed down and looked up. He saw that outside the elevator was another wide hall. The overall structure of this hall was similar to that on the first floor of the tower. In the center area, you could see the tower that seemed to run through The entire rail transportation system of the Tower of Counter Tide is different from the first floor. In the lobby of this floor, you can also see a large number of cylindrical structures arranged tilted around the transportation rails. They form a huge circle. Rings, and from time to time, bright streams of light slide quickly across the surfaces of those inclined columns, as if they are conveying some message, while a low humming sound is constantly coming from those columns, as if some ancient system is still there. its inner workings.
The "situation" Amber refers to is between those columns.
A large number of charred traces left by erosion and decay are scattered at the roots of some of the columns, and withered and necrotic structures that look like biological limbs can be seen wrapped around the orbital transportation system not far away. Among the traces of uneasiness, the most eye-catching one is a blue crack that runs through the floor and seems to be embedded in the air.
That was the crack that Gawain and others had seen in the first-floor hall before. Part of its structure had obviously "penetrated" the thick and solid floors in the tower, and formed a crack about ten meters long and about ten meters wide on the second floor. A three- to four-meter opening was now filled with blue light surging through it. The dazzling magical light was particularly eye-catching among a pile of dark traces of corruption.
Obviously, Amber¡¯s ¡°Shadow Dust¡± affects more than just the lobby on the first floor, and its ¡°curtain-breaking¡± effect also extends here.
Gawain frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he walked towards the crack.
"Hey! Be careful!" Amber was startled when she saw it from behind, and quickly reminded loudly, "This place looks very evil at first glance, don't touch it!"
A half-elf who had pried open the coffin board in a seven-hundred-year-old grave actually reminded himself so nervously, "Don't touch it." This made Gawain couldn't help but have a weird smile on his face, and he didn't look back. He waved his hand to Amber, indicating that he knew the rules, but his footsteps did not stop. He soon arrived at the area with traces of corruption, and stood less than two meters in front of the "Dark Blue Crack".
He knelt down and scanned the disturbing dark marks on the floor carefully.
The advanced ancient alloy that is difficult to be damaged by mortal power is full of pits and depressions. The dark colors seem to have been immersed in the metal plate, and the traces of these depressions are connected into pieces, outlining a more complete and larger outline.
Gawain narrowed his eyes slightly, imagining what had happened here - a huge creature with a bloated and shapeless body. It might have thousands of pairs of eyes, thousands of sets of mouthpieces, and a lot of indescribable things. The supernumerary limbs or tentacles already possess entities, but its "birth" has not yet been completed, so it still remains in a form between reality and reality, and can pass through the floors in the tower in this form. However, The power derived from thoughts imprisoned it in this tower, so this blind and foolish creature could only wander here all day long, waiting in the chaos for what seemed like an eternity.
And it has some unknown power that can hide traces of its own existence and its own activities behind a layer of illusory curtain. Therefore even if there are a few visitors in this tower, there has never been any one. Intelligent beings sensed something terrible above them.
"This used to be the main activity area of ??'that thing'," Gawain said in a deep voice. He had already heard the footsteps of Amber and Modier coming behind him. "Of course, there is nothing here now."
He slowly stood up and turned to look at Amber behind him.
"Contact the Bitter Winter, and we will send back to Agundor what we have discovered so far."
