Chapter 585 Vine

Gawain watched in astonishment as Amber emerged from the Shadow Realm, and saw the frightened and nervous look on her face: "What's wrong?"

"Shadow...there is something in the Shadow Realm! !" Amber almost jumped up and said, "That's definitely not something native to the Shadow Realm - someone put them in, and they spread everywhere!"

As if a bright light flashed in his mind. Wen suddenly realized what was really ignored by everyone. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Amber's arm: "Take us in and have a look."

Amber hesitated for a moment, but thought of the few people present After improving her combat power, she nodded: "Okay - but you have to be careful, there are shadow dwellers wandering here, don't conflict with them."

Sonia and Banner listened to Amber's crackling words. There was a pile of them. They didn’t realize what was going on at first, but then they realized that this inconspicuous half-elf had the ability to travel between the real world and the Shadow Realm at will. The two of them couldn’t help but widen their eyes. But they knew that this was not the time to ask for details, so they suppressed all questions and quickly prepared for space replacement.

——The Shadow Realm is difficult to enter, but it is not completely closed to mortals. Powerful shadow casters can also open the rift into the Shadow Realm through complex rituals and tedious preparations. Banner and Sony Elves like Ya who are well-informed have naturally seen extraordinary beings who can enter the Shadow Realm. They just didn't expect that there would be such a weirdo as Amber who could "cross the border" casually.

After confirming that everyone was ready, Amber no longer hesitated. She released her innate power. Around her, the boundaries between the real world and the shadow world quickly became blurred.

An unfathomable crack opened, and the entire rotunda was quickly covered in a monotonous color like a black and white filter. The buzzing metal columns became quiet, and the air The holographic projection in the scene also disappeared, and a deserted, strange, black-and-white space descended around the four of them.

Although they had made some mental preparations, Sonia and Banner couldn't help but look at each other in shock after seeing Amber's talent. Gawain immediately noticed those in the corner of the hall. The lingering hazy shadows with rune cloth wrapped around their bodies - the residents of the shadow world seemed to be indifferently observing the uninvited guests here. Gawain could even feel their inhuman eyes scanning him. Not malicious, but extremely cold. < /p>

"It's better to restrain your researcher mentality. This is the Shadow Realm," Sonia said softly, then she raised her head and looked around the hall, "These things... are really creepy..."

Those corrupted vines stimulated the nerves of everyone present.

Gawain looked at the Elf Magister: "Banner, can you figure out what's going on with these vines?"

Banner also worked hard like Sonia to ignore those who were watching indifferently not far away. Shadow resident, he looked at the withered and corrupted vines spreading all over the hall, and shook his head while stepping forward to check: "I have never seen such things, but there is no doubt that they should not appear here."

Gawain looked at the amber and confirmed again: "Are you sure this is not a 'natural product' from the Shadow Realm?"

"Anyway, I have traveled through the Shadow Realm so many times, and I have never seen it before. "Have you ever experienced anything like this?" Amber spread her hands, "How about I go ask those shadow residents?"

Sonia looked at her in surprise when she heard this: "They will respond to you?" ? ”

“Absolutely, we can have a few conversations sometimes, but not all shadow residents are willing to deal with people. Some of them don’t seem to be very clear-headed,” Amber said casually. He said, then waved his hand and walked towards the figures standing not far away, "I'm going to inquire."

On the other side, Banner had already carefully checked the status of the vines and alloy pillars. Drawing a preliminary conclusion: "These vines seem to have invaded the induction and transmission structure of the stone tablet, but I don't understand... I have never seen it. Can their erosion in the Shadow Realm really affect the real world?"

"There is a secret mapping relationship between the Shadow Realm and the real world. What you said is very possible." Sonia nodded lightly, then frowned, "These vines... feel very much like druids." A cultivated magic vine, but its form has never been seen before."

A name has emerged in Gawain's mind: The Death of All Things.

Amber had already arrived in front of the shadow residents. She looked around and found one who looked like she might be easy to talk to. She asked cautiously: "Hey, do you know who got these vines in? ”

The shadow wrapped in rune cloth really responded to her. He turned his head slightly, but did not answer her question directly, but issued a message from the black mist-like head. A voice that seemed to be interested: "Little girl, you are such an interesting individual... Who stuffed you in here?"

"Put you in what?" Amber was stunned for a moment, she Suddenly, she felt that the shadow residents here seemed different from the ones she had come into contact with before. Even if the shadow residents she had come into contact with could communicate with her, they had never behaved like this... "rational", "What did you say?"

"It doesn't matter...it's not important..." The shadow resident's voice suddenly became deeper. He muttered some unintelligible words, and then Amber heard him continue, "Here are Cracks, many cracks... The powerful magic makes the borders here fragile... Outsiders planted seeds outside, and then they grew here..."

After this, the shadow's The voice became low and blurry again, and he seemed to have lost interest in talking. Amidst some incomprehensible murmurs,Finally, the figures of him and the surrounding shadow residents began to dim at the same time, and they gradually disappeared into the air, leaving only Amber with a confused look on his face.

Not far away, Banner had cut a section of vines from an alloy pillar, and he discovered that these vines were actually "dead".

“They are dead,” the mage said with some surprise in his tone, “but they don’t seem to have been dead for too long... There are signs of burning in their cores, which seem to have been affected by powerful energy. "It was burned by the flow."

Sonia raised her eyebrows slightly: "Could it be...that it was burned by the previous overload of the Sentinel Tower?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. , the time seems to correspond, but the mapping relationship between the real world and the Shadow Realm is really weird. I am not sure what happened here when the Sentinel Tower in the real world was overloaded," Banner said cautiously, "We can only guess now. , these vines have indeed affected the operation of the Sentinel Tower in the current world, and have been affecting it. They interfered with the tower's sensors, and may even have tampered with some return signals. Not long ago, the entire magnificent wall's large-scale The overload produced a powerful surge of energy that even broke through the boundary between the real world and the Shadow Realm, so these hidden things were burned to death..."

This sounds a bit funny, but maybe Exactly the truth.

“I suspect it is the work of the All-Death Society,” Gawain expressed his suspicion. “You may not know it well in the south, but in the north, I have had many dealings with them. They are good at cultivating this kind of twisted and corrupt biological creation, and they once tried to infiltrate an observation post you set up on the border of Typhon - this matter Solderin also reported to the Silver Empire."

“The activities of the Death Society have also caused losses to the Silver Empire,” Ban said. Na added beside him, "Even within the Silver Elves, there have been fallen druids who defected, including even the two high-level mentors of the Natural Temple - those pervasive fallen ones, their tentacles are not limited to To the north of the continent."

Sonia nodded slightly, then looked at the withered vines entangled in the hall, and took a deep breath: "But I still can't imagine that their destruction and infiltration would actually do it. At this point...the Sentinel Tower, they actually infiltrated the Sentinel Tower!"

"Those shadow residents said that someone planted seeds in the outside world, and then these vines grew and penetrated. The boundary between the Shadow Realm and the real world is a lot of talk, but it's mostly true." Amber also walked over from a short distance away, talking about the information she had learned, "And what else did they say about the powerful magic power? The boundary between the Shadow Realm and the real world has become fragile. It should be referring to the magnificent wall, that energy screen.Although the barrier blocks the spread of the wasteland, it may also destroy the spatial structure here... That's what I said, I don't know the specifics. "

Sonia listened carefully to Amber's words, and the expression on her face became extremely serious: "In short, this matter must be reported to the Elf Court immediately, and Her Majesty the Queen must send someone to inspect each sentinel tower as soon as possible. Although the vines in this tower are dead, there may be others alive elsewhere, and these hidden dangers must be eliminated. "

"Now that the communication function of the Sentinel Tower is still shut down, we may have to rely on giant eagle messengers, human communication towers, and short-distance communication techniques to relay information," Banner reminded from the side, “Perhaps we should find a way to repair the communication function of the Sentinel Tower first. ”

Sonia’s brows furrowed deeply: “I’m afraid this is not faster than the relay communication. The communication circle is burned down, not a simple malfunction. "

Gawain listened quietly beside him, and then suddenly broke the silence: "Is the magic cycle of the entire magnificent wall still complete? What was burned was just the communication circle, right? "

"Of course the magic cycle is complete, otherwise there must be gaps all over the barrier," Banner immediately replied, "But it is useless to only have magic connection..."

" I have a plan," Gawain interrupted Banner, "Do you know about Cecil's magic network communication? ”

“Magic network communication? "Banner and Sonia looked at each other, and then invariably remembered the incredible magical creations they came into contact with when they temporarily lived in Cecil City, and thought of the most novel "broadcast" among the magical creations. device, “Ah! Remember! ”

The first thing Banner thought of was the cheap and convenient terminal device used in Magic Network communication, and its magical properties that could be controlled by ordinary people, while Sonia thought of That radio program called "Witch Hour" - that witch girl named Jipri is a good girl...

"My plan is to connect our magic network device to the Great Wall "Go on," Gawain didn't know what Sonia was thinking. He just continued to talk about his plan, "The principle of the magic network terminal is to transmit signals in the magic field. Although the terminals we currently manufacture are only compatible with our own magic network, It can broadcast, but it is adjustable. In theory, as long as it is a continuous and regular magic field, it can be used as a carrier to carry signals - the magnificent wall is essentially a huge and cyclic magic field, and it is also very Stable, isn't it? "

"This...sounds feasible," Banner glanced at Sonia and said slightly hesitantly, "But this means that we have to open the communication key of the Magnificent Wall to you, and at the same time Opening up the Great Wall's communications technology to your technicians, eh? "

Obviously, this is not just as simple as "allowing Gawain to see the internal structure of the Sentinel Tower".

Gawain smiled slightly: "Belsetia They probably wouldn't mind establishing a communication line between the Silver Empire and the Principality of Cecil., of course, I also understand your concerns, but the situation we encountered may not give us room to think slowly. "

"I agree to establish this special line," Sonia said suddenly, "I am a high-level messenger, and I will bear the relevant responsibilities. "

Gawain exhaled softly and stretched out his hand to Sonia: "This will be the right choice. ”
