As Gawain took out the biological tissue suspected of being the flesh and blood of gods from the mixed magic circle in the Shadow Realm, the mutated aberrations in the outside world finally lost their almost endless vitality.
With a heavy blow from the Byron Knight, the monster let out a deep howl, staggered to the ground, and began to rapidly steam and decompose like a true aberration. Black smoke spreads all over the sky.
Gawain and Amber also returned from the Shadow Realm, but the former had a strange crystal cube in his hand.
Although they didn’t know the specific process, Byron and Hedy could guess that their actions in the Shadow Realm destroyed the monster’s resurrection mechanism, and Hedy immediately went up to it. : "Ancestor - that monster is finally dead! Did you discover something in the Shadow Realm?"
"Found this," Gawain raised the crystal cube in his hand, and then looked towards After thinking for a moment about the soldiers guarding him, he said in a deep voice, "Byron, Hetty, and Amber stay here. The others will guard outside the room for the time being."
The soldiers realized that they The lord might have discovered something extraordinary in the Shadow Realm, so he left the hall without hesitation.
Byron's expression immediately became serious. He had just seen what was in Gawain's hand, and now he had a vague idea: "Sir... what you are holding is..."
“It’s this thing that is releasing energy that keeps the monsters outside resurrecting, and that monster is probably also affected by it. It has only lived here for a thousand years, and it has many things that ordinary aberrations don’t have. Ability," Gawain whispered, and told Hetty and Byron what he had discovered in the Shadow Realm, "...this is the situation, we may really have discovered something extraordinary."
With a clang, the staff in Hetty's hand came out and fell to the ground.
"Is this... the flesh and blood of a god?" This normally mature and calm lady finally lost her composure. She looked at the crystal cube in Gawain's hand in astonishment with a hint of fear. "God, how is it possible for a god..."
"I know it is difficult for you to accept, and I know that you are a believer of the goddess of mystery and magic. The fact that the gods have fallen, and even the flesh and blood has fallen into the hands of mortals is hard for you. "Words are a big shock," Gawain slowed down his tone, hoping that his tone could make his great-great...great-granddaughter calm down a little, "But I also know that there is a sentence in the magician's creed: Exploration. The road is endless, and gods are among it—magicians have never been a group that worships gods too much, even if you believe in the goddess of magic."
"I just can't believe it," Hetty breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled bitterly and picked up his staff, "You know, I have only been so shocked twice in my life. The last time was when I saw you could stand up from the coffin."
"Legend of ancient times There was a war between the gods, and some of the gods were defeated. After their fall, their remains fell into the world, and their power and fragments turned into the human world.All kinds of extraordinary powers and magical creatures, and the gods who have won are the various righteous gods in the world today," Gawain said in his prepared explanation, "Perhaps not all the remains of the gods have been 'transformed' - the gods of that year just The Duo Empire might have found such a piece of debris that was still alive and intact, and then built this secret base to study it. ”
This explanation is relatively easy to accept, and it is not made up. In fact, Gawain even thinks that more than half of this explanation is consistent with the truth. At most, it only explains a little bit about the cause of death of the gods. ...It's a little tactful.

Compared with Hetty, Byron seems to be calmer. He is a mercenary. He lacked even more awe. When he saw the weird squirming biological tissue, he was more nervous and shocked, but rarely felt awe and fear, so he quickly regained his composure and thought: "Maybe it's not what we thought. It's such an exaggeration. There were so many powerful things in ancient times. Maybe the Gondor Empire just found the remains of some kind of demigod creature with some residual...'divine' power, and then they regarded it as the corpse of a god. Study it. "
Gawain had to admit that Byron's statement made sense: "It is also possible. "
As he spoke, he glanced around the hall. He felt that he had already grasped the research projects that had been conducted in this place.
"The Gondor Empire in the Age of Sparks ...It was an era when human beings were proud and arrogant. The energy of the Deep Blue Well is endless. The adaptability of the human spell system to the deep blue magic power caused the human mages at that time to be almost the most destructive spellcasters in the world. They became invincible, and what humans pursued would change. Resources There is no shortage, and the power is not bad. What I still want...probably is to be as eternal as the legendary gods." Gawain said while looking at the line of words on the wall of the hall, "Humanity will last forever. ——Even though they were disobedient to the gods, the use of the word disobedient shows that the researchers at that time knew what a bold thing they were doing, but they just dared to do it... crazy testing on the edge of death, or so on That's it. "
At the end, he sighed and shook his head: "Unfortunately, scholars from the empire soon discovered that the Deep Blue Well is the only super-class magic well on the continent, and its magic has a transmission limit. , the unparalleled power of the Gondor Empire was actually just blessed by luck. The territory of the empire was limited to the radiation range of the magic well from the beginning, so the Age of Sparks was over, and all arrogant ideas turned into sleep. ..."
Everyone was filled with emotion at Gawain's words. Finally, Heti broke the silence: "Ancestor, what are you going to do with these...gods' flesh and blood? "
"I was about to say this," Gawain glanced at the crystal cube in his hand, then looked up at Hetty and Byron, "When you were looking at it, was there anything... Mental discomfort? Such as fear or auditory hallucinations? "
"No," Knight Byron shook his head, "Although I was shocked when I first knew what this was, but now that I accept it, it's okay."
" Really..." Gawain frowned, "I'm going to do a test. This test may put some pressure on your spirit. Are you willing? By the way, Amber has already tried it once on his own, and this kind of mental impact will not affect you. It's not fatal, and it can be recovered."
Amber immediately glared: "I didn't take the initiative to try it just now!"
Hetty and Byron didn't hesitate too much. , the two people nodded together: "Ancestor (Sir), please start!"
Gawain thought for a while, carefully placed the crystal cube on the ground, and ordered the two of them: "You guys leave a little bit."
Byron and Hetty obeyed without knowing why, and stood a few meters away from the crystal cube. Then they watched Gawain take his hand away from the surface of the cube and slowly retreat, while Gawain stepped back. After returning the money, he asked: "Are you feeling any discomfort now?"
The two of them still shook their heads, while Amber ran out the moment she realized what Gawain wanted to do. At this time, she didn't know how to coward at all. Where are you?
Gawain continued to retreat, paying full attention to the changes in the biological tissue in the crystal. In the process, he also confirmed the status of Byron and Hetty over and over again, and until he retreated When they drove to a distance of about fifteen meters, the flesh and blood sealed in the crystal finally suddenly changed!
The originally slowly squirming biological tissue suddenly became active, and the dark plasma slowly flowing around the biological tissue also accelerated its flow rate and spread out a large number of small "tributaries". A structure like a three-dimensional spider web was formed inside, and as the flesh and blood in the crystal changed, Byron and Hetty's expressions also instantly became trance-like!
The moment he saw this scene, Gawain completed his judgment. He suddenly took a step back without asking about the status of the two of them. It was just this step away that the man who had just regained some vitality The flesh and blood of the gods calmed down again.
"What...is going on?!" Hetty woke up from her brief trance and looked at Gawain with a little bit of residual heart palpitations. She could no longer recall what she had done just now. What she saw in that brief moment, but she still remembered the terrible feeling of losing control of her mind and her brain being filled with noises and illusions. What was even more incredible to her than those terrible feelings was that Gawain only needed to go there. Taking one step forward can suppress the restlessness of the god's flesh and blood, "How did you do it just now?"
"To be honest, I don't know, but it seems that I can suppress the activity of these biological tissues," Gao In fact, Wen himself was really confused. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he really didn't know how to express his guesses. "Maybe I, the guy who came back from the dead, violated the laws of nature. There is something strange about it." What a strange power."
Hetty looked at Gawain with a hint of awe, but she was still in awe.There is also a more practical question: "Then what should I do with this thing? Do you want to keep it with you all the time?"
The amber that was so cowardly just now that I don't know which corner is now being drilled again He came out and commented next to him: "I always feel that if you hold such a piece of dried meat from the gods while eating and sleeping, you will be regarded as a pervert..."
Gowen thought for a while and said to himself, if that's true. Amber said that this would probably be the highest level of necrophilia in history, and this necrophilia would probably have to be preceded by a holy prefix...
Then he grabbed himself and started running. He had a different idea and stared at Amber: "Just say a few words and no one will treat you as a mute!"
Next, he conducted several more tests and finally roughly understood the flesh and blood of these gods. "law of infringement".
After all, they are the remnants of the dead gods. These biological tissues are not as destructive as Gawain initially imagined. He found that as long as ordinary people do not look directly at these flesh and blood, they will not Will be affected by it, and if the distance from these flesh and blood is more than 20 meters, then even if you look at it, you can still have enough sanity to divert your attention or escape from its scope of influence.
This way, there is no need to send this thing back to the Shadow Realm to save it.
To be honest, sending this thing back to the Shadow Realm seems to be the safest way to preserve it. After all, no one can enter the Shadow Realm except Amber, but Gawain always has a faint feeling. Uneasy, he believed that those Gondor magisters did not put this piece of god's flesh and blood in the Shadow Realm for safe control - because with the Gondor magic technology of the year, they were fully capable of creating other types of space shields or magic mystery locks. Saving this thing is simpler and more controllable, and the safety factor is no worse than that of the Shadow Realm - after all, with the average level of magisters in the Gondor Empire back then, it was not as difficult to enter the Shadow Realm as it is today, so putting things in the Shadow Realm The world is naturally not as safe as it is today.
If you think about it carefully, those magisters placed these biological organizations in the Shadow Realm and set up a complex hybrid array for it. Rather than suppressing and restraining it, it is better to say that it Sustain it with the power of the Shadowlands.
Gawain recalled that there seemed to be a structure similar to charging runes on the mixed magic circle...
Thinking of this, Gawain made up his mind: he decided not to Send this dangerous thing back to the Shadowlands! What if we lose control of this ancient testing ground and it slowly grows and resurrects in a place where no one can monitor it?
Many novels, TV movies and novels in my previous life have reminded me: sealing things in a place where you can’t see them is the first step to overturning the situation!
