The City of a Thousand Towers will open its door to every invited visitor - but only if the visitor has the ability to find the door on his own.
This is the rule set by the Lord 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 comply with the principles of the Holy Light in words and deeds in order to safely and harmlessly contact those who Burning radiance, in this realm that is infinitely close to the Kingdom of Shadow, visitors must also meet the requirements of the Path of Shadow to successfully open this city dominated by eternal night.
The closer you get to a god, the more obvious and irreversible the power of this "symbolic behavior" and "specific order" becomes.
The good news is that the invited visitors were smart and lucky enough to successfully find the door hidden by light and shadow. The bad news is that these visitors also had more courage and imagination than necessary - and the way they opened the door was surprising. Shock.
It also shocked the city¡¯s administrator, Prince Nash (physics).
The cold night wind blew over the dark palace. Prince Nash became more awake in the night wind. He came to the edge of the terrace and looked up at the "sky", and saw the dark earth hanging upside down above his head, and the earth was still okay. I saw some continuous lights, which were the temporary campsites of the mortal visitors here.
It¡¯s nighttime, and the shadow¡¯s influence over the land is reaching its peak.
Since Lady Night awakened, the City of Thousand Towers, a city that once formed an entity in the real world, has returned to a certain "mythical state". It will disappear during the day, and at night, it will function as a certain "mythical state". "Reflection" appears above the "ruins" of the former city. It is the last trace left in the world after the Violet Dream fades. It is also the entrance to the mysterious Kingdom of Shadows left in the world.
"I need to ask the Lord of the Night for his opinion." After hesitating for a moment, Prince Nash nodded slightly to Bernadette floating beside him, "The visitors took a surprising move, which is not entirely In line with the operating rules of the City of Thousand Towers - this city has now returned to the mythical state. Stepping into the City of Thousand Towers is equivalent to stepping half-foot into the Kingdom of God. Even for the safety of those visitors, when the door is opened, It must also be rigorous.¡±
Bernadette nodded: "Okay, then you can ask - I will continue to pay attention to the movements of those on the surface with the eyes of night."
As she spoke, the magical intelligence took two steps away. Her mind had been connected to the magic mechanism somewhere in the dim palace, and she began to monitor the next moves 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 earth above his head disappeared like smoke, and was replaced by a scene of the deep starry sky - he looked towards the darkest direction in the starry sky, and then relaxed his body and mind and respectfully communicate.
This switch between the starry sky and the earth does not affect the state of the City of Thousand Towers itself, and this is the city, and even part of the "true meaning" of Ms. Night's authority - entity and virtual image, reality and reflection, all in this aspect Boundaries are vague and malleable in front of the Lord of Night. The so-called authority of shadow is actually the authority of light and shadow. The city of a thousand towers can be the projection of the earth, and the earth can also be the projection of the sky. The sky can even be Ms. Night's. projection.
Among the endless stars, there seemed to be a cold but gentle gaze. Prince Nash felt this gaze, and his soul trembled slightly. Then he told his mistress everything that happened here. In a moment After waiting for a while, he received a response, and the faint sense of gaze in the starry space also faded away - the starry sky disappeared, the upside-down earth reappeared above the dim palace, and Bernadette's voice came from the side: "You The communication was very fast, how did the Lord of the Night respondWhy do you look so weird?"
Prince Nash¡¯s expression was more than weird. He glanced at Bernadette almost blankly and said in an erratic tone: "I told the lady what those visitors did"
Bernadette frowned and looked at the other person: "Yes, I know, but what next?"
"The lady told me: awesome."
Bernadette: "?"
Prince Nash: "Don't look at me like that, I don't know why."
"Have you ever felt that the lady has been acting a little strange since she woke up?" The silence on the terrace lasted for an unknown amount of time before Bernadette finally couldn't help but break the silence, "I know it seems a bit rude to say this. But you also know that last time the lady even entertained a group of lost mortals over there at the throne, and she recently Of course, my judgment may also be wrong, after all, I was created after the lady fell into sleep, so I We only know the information recorded in the big library, but you should know the lady¡¯s original identity.bsp; The next second, lines of writing began to appear next to the arrow: "Entrance to the City of Thousand Towers; please step into the flow of light when entering the city; the City of Thousand Towers has opened its doors to visitors; you have passed the test; go up Take a step forward and make sure you stand firm; don't guess this is really the gate; don't throw any more explosives over here!"
The three figures next to Guangliu looked at each other, and the awkward atmosphere began to circulate silently in the night. After a while, Modile 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 should we go in and take a look?"
Modile laughed: "Of course, we are here for this."

Gawain rubbed his brows and placed the last report sent by the Theocratic Council in the past two days on the table.
The blockade in the church area is still ongoing, but after more than forty-eight hours of continuous monitoring and the preliminary judgment of the situation by senior advisors, the alert level of the entire area has dropped from "realistic pollution" to "divine abnormality" level. So far, except for those Apart from the shocking "traces", no new visions occurred in various churches, and there were no reports of any cases of priests being contaminated.
??According to this trend, the blockade in 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 indefinitely block all churches in the capital without proper reasons. Especially now that the council has roughly figured out the cause of the vision and can rule out the possibility of the gods losing control, lifting the blockade must be put on the agenda.
Of course, whether it is Gawain or the Theocratic Council, everyone knows that something is wrong with the gods. The end of the church blockade only shows that this matter has no harm to the world, but to the gods this matter It's far from over.
"Saint Princess" Veronica stood quietly by Gawain's desk. After noticing that the latter had finished reading the documents, she spoke in a soft voice: "What do you think of the arbitral tribunal's investigation report?"
"Similar phenomena have happened to high-ranking priests in various churches," Gawain rubbed his eyebrows. The things mentioned in the report were still rising and falling in his mind, and new clues and conclusions continued to be extended. "In praying to the high-ranking priests, I feel a serious violation when I use the magic of higher level, which is specifically manifested as losing the 'sense of gaze of the god' and not being able to sense the 'temperature of the god's will'. The higher the level, the closer the priest is to the god, the more feedback in this regard. Apparently, a few Chosen Ones and one Chosen One even made it clear that they felt like their gods had turned into empty shells, with only hollow and mechanical responses coming from the throne.¡±
"Yes, and during this process, all the divine spells of each church are taking effect as usual," Veronica nodded slightly, and at the same time raised her hand to shed a faint light. This light enveloped Gawain, making him Most of the latter's mental fatigue dissipated instantly, "Even in a few tests, the effectiveness of the magic has improved a little bit - although the improvement has reached a level that even the instrument can barely detect, But this 'efficiency' does exist."
Gawain was silent for a moment. His eyes fell on Veronica. Strictly speaking, they fell on the faint floating holy light around the latter. After thinking for a few seconds, he spoke softly: "It's just like the holy light." God."
"Yes, it's just like the God of Holy Light - this hollow feeling and mechanical response is a novel and somewhat scary thing for those 'ordinary' priests, but for those who have prayed to the God of Holy Light, It is a very familiar feeling to the priests who have lived in the past," Veronica nodded slightly, "Although those fanatical believers in the Holy Light have always insisted that this kind of empty and mechanical response is the God of Holy Light. Fair and noble proof, and I imagined all kinds of 'divine will' on my own, but now we know unmistakably that this feeling is like praying to a answering machine that cannot think."
"Yes, answering machines that can't think," Gawain breathed out softly, "So this is the most likely answer. All the gods have turned into answering machines that can't think. Now they are on the thrones of various divine kingdoms. Only divinity is left. And this should all be the result of Ms. Ye¡¯s hand."
"Ms. Ye" Even Veronica couldn't help but wavered in her tone before this conclusion, "What exactly did the ancient god want to do, and how did he accomplish all this?"
Gawain thought about it carefully and thought that it was not the ancient god who struck out more than a dozen brain-dead patients with his stick
