The moment Bertila Augustus exclaimed, Gawain's suspicion was confirmed.
The strange-looking woman in front of me is indeed the "old friend" in my memory, Princess Typhon from seven hundred years ago, a recognized saint among the druid sects in the north. .
However, she has completely changed her appearance and identity. Only part of her voice and soul remain unchanged.
She really lived for seven hundred years! ! And he became a high-ranking member of the All-Death Society! !
All the chaotic thoughts flashed through in an instant, but the expression on Gawain's face did not change at all. He strode towards Bertila - in this space supported by the power of dreams, he He molded himself into the image of Roland Augustus, the founder of Typhon.
However, it was obvious that Bertila was not deceived by the "phantom" bearing the face of her brother. She still remembered that this was an illusion space created by mental projection, and everything she saw before her eyes was not necessarily certain. It's true - especially since his brother, who died under the Sentinel Tower seven hundred years ago, has been resurrected.
She didn’t know who was causing this farce, but it was obvious that this contact that was supposed to be strictly confidential had been watched.
She stared at the tall figure approaching, and seemed to be ready to fight: "Who are you?!"
"You really disappoint me," Gawain responded indifferently, and at the same time he raised his right hand high, and a silver-white sword flashing with electric light appeared in his hand, "You actually walked on this road!"
He knew that he had aroused He has overcome Bertila's anger and is ready to fight openly - on the battlefield of this spiritual world, he is not afraid of any form of head-on confrontation, especially when the opponent obviously relies on magic rituals or props to enter the "dream" As a novice, if you can take this opportunity to keep the mind of the other party or a few people around you, you will definitely gain a lot of information.
Bertira opened her hands, and an invisible wind began to surge around her. The two elves also began to chant ancient mysterious incantations, stimulating the power of magic. Those in black robes The withered figures also raised their arms as thin as firewood, brewing their own strength.
Gawain raised his long sword - the sword of the founding king of Typhon in the past, with a roar of thunder, and at the same time a slight smile brewed at the corner of his mouth.
These people are indeed novices in the dream world. They do not understand the fighting rules of this spiritual world at all.
Psychic power and spiritual power are the real power here, and the superficial magic or moves are just illusions in dreams.
The next second, Bertila's figure suddenly disappeared from his eyes.
The figures of the pair of elf sisters also disappeared.
The skinny figures in black robes also quickly disappeared.
The smile at the corner of Gawain's mouth stiffened, and after a short breath, he suddenly woke up.
HeWhen I woke up from my bed at the base of the pinnacle, I could see the familiar prefabricated roof and the dim light of the streetlights pouring into the house from the window. Amber's soft snoring was coming from next door.
Gawain: "??"
It took him a moment to realize what had happened - he was a dish, but he was not stupid.
They unplugged the network cable...
Gawain rolled over from the bed and sat up. He did not dwell too much on this small setback, but quickly analyzed the information intercepted tonight. Valuable information.
This was an accidental intrusion, and after suffering this loss, the Society of the End of All Things will probably not give him a second chance to intercept the information. He must treat it with caution and value. The information you hear and see.
Bertila Augustus is still alive today—considering her Archdruid ability and the policy of the Society of the Dead for hundreds of years of causing trouble, she should be using someone to The Forbidden Planting Technique has always been alive, rather than being revealed in recent years like myself. Although he didn't see it clearly just now, it seems that Bertila's appearance has changed not only, but her body also seems to have something strange... Gawain recalled that he seemed to see vines or roots under Bertila's skirt. weird things.
She fell with the group of druids who entered the Peak of the Ancestors, and became one of the high-ranking priests of the cult.
There are two elves with her, 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 of the signal sent to the wasteland by the death of all things. No matter who they are, they are obviously active in that wasteland... …And they are collecting information and constantly passing it on to their compatriots outside.
They mentioned something called "the mutagen of evil", and this phrase was deeply imprinted in Gawain's memory.
This is probably what those cultists have been doing, and this is their goal!
They know the evil of God! They are studying the gods!
This originated from the Gondor Empire a thousand years ago and was the product of the ultimate plan to allow mankind to survive the crisis of magic. Gao Wen believed that all information about them had been lost in the long river of history. , was annihilated in the thousand-year blockade of the Disobedient Fortress, but I didn’t expect that it has been secretly circulating! What do those cultists want to do? To complete the unfinished business of the ancient Gondor Empire?
Is this the "great evolution" that Pitman once mentioned that the Doomsday believers are pursuing?
Wait a minute, 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 it... They If the divine evil really reappears, then they will definitely find a way to spread it everywhere. Only in this way can the so-called... great evolution be achieved.
The most fortunate thing for Gawain now is that his previous response was correct: he did not expose himself, but used the image of "Roland Augustus" to confuse the line of sight., and at the same time, in addition to disrupting the line of sight, he set up another smoke screen - he believed that if this smoke screen was used properly, it would definitely have more unexpected effects.
But we must also consider the possibility of the smoke screen being seen through. After all, Bertila Augustus was a very smart woman back then, and the smoke screen she set up in a hurry was not clever... maybe He should try to make some cover-ups and arrangements from the Eternal Sleeper...
While thinking about it, Gawain was perfecting his plan for the aftermath, so as not to expose himself or let others know that he was capable of taking over. The network of those who enter eternal sleep.
It’s just that we don’t know what kind of actions the Ten Thousand Things will take after this serious incident... They may hide it more carefully, or they may launch certain actions in advance, and the latter is actually It's better - in this way, their flaws may be exposed and they will be eliminated in advance.
......
In the territory of Anzu, deep in the deep underground palace, Bertila fought against the uncomfortable dizziness and the feeling of soul peeling, and quickly woke up from the aftereffects of psychic projection.
She raised her head and saw that the Elf Twins also woke up one after another, and looked at her almost at the same time.
"Psychic projection is not safe. Our communication was eavesdropped." She said with a gloomy face.
The Elf Twins responded at the same time: "Fortunately, we haven't started talking about more confidential and important information. Eavesdroppers cannot grasp our next actions."
"Important "Who is that," Bertila said in a deep voice, "He disguised himself as Roland..."
"In fact...we sensed a trace of aura," the Elf Twins said, "Then It's the power fluctuation after using the secret technique of eternal sleep. Although we were in a state of psychic projection at the time, we have dealt with the eternal sleepers a lot and are familiar with the feeling of them exerting their power in dreams."
"It is indeed that group. Cowards who weave illusions and indulge in dreams," Bertila's eyes became colder, "I have known for a long time that those who indulge in dreams are not worthy of trust..."
But then , she woke up from her anger, and relied on regulating her nerves and hormones to force herself to think calmly.
“Even those eternal sleepers who are intoxicated in dreams...are not fools or idiots. They will not eavesdrop in such a stupid way, let alone be caught by us...The psychic projection device is They made it. If they really want to do some tricks, they can directly tamper with the magic device..."
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at the Elf Twins: "Contact Yongmian directly. Tell them that there is something wrong with the psychic projection device, tell them that someone else may be invading the device - see what they will say."
Blind suspicion or suspicion is stupid, and blind trust is equally stupid. .
It is better to ask directly than to be secretive. She chose to communicate directly with the eternal sleeper.If an outsider is causing trouble, then the Eternal Sleeper, as an "expert", will definitely be able to find the other party faster than himself. And if the Eternal Sleeper is really doing such stupid things...then a direct confrontation will expose them even more.
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 distorted faces squirmed forward in the night. The speed they moved seemed not fast, but in fact they were far faster than human feet. , it didn’t take long for this creeping forest to gradually cross the effective range of spiritual projection.
"What happened..." The giant tree headed by it uttered a low and chaotic murmur, with a tone full of disdain, "It has nothing to do with the overall situation."
...
Gao Wen waited patiently until the next morning.
After knowing what Gawain had experienced in the dream last night, Amber was shocked.
Gawain did not hide his experience with this half-elf who served as his bodyguard, was in charge of the intelligence department, and already knew a lot of secrets. The one who shocked Amber the most was indeed Bertila Ogu. The existence of the "ancient man" Sidu.
"That Bertila is a human who has lived for seven hundred years?! And she is still alive and kicking now?!" The half-elf lady stared at Gawain, "You still knew her back then? ? Even very familiar?"
"I have been very familiar with her brother for a long time - at least five years, she also called me brother," Gao Wen looked at the obvious The excited half-elf didn't understand why this guy was so excited after hearing this information. Even if she, as the head of the intelligence, should indeed be interested in this information, the glint in this guy's eyes was a bit too obvious, "But That was all back then, but things have changed now - she is one of the leaders of the cult, and the cult obviously wants to do something, and that is the key to the problem."
But Amber. Obviously she didn't care much about the crux of this issue, because her next sentence was: "Then is she one of the more than eighty princesses?"
Gowen was stunned for more than 20 seconds before he thought It's time to get up and slap this half-elf into the wall.
However, Amber, who was full of danger, sensed the murderous aura and jumped two meters away.
"You should be more concerned about serious things," Gawain glared at this guy, then straightened his face, "Go and guard the door. I want to contact the locals and not see outsiders for the time being."
p>He will use the already established magic network connection to contact Hetty in Cecil City and make some arrangements in advance.
——When more data needs to be transferred, multi-person meetings or experiments are required, the Mind Network and Origin Space are relatively easy to use, but when information needs to be conveyed as quickly as possible, the Magic Network Terminal is still more necessary. An immersion chamber prepared in advance is more convenient. As for the security level of the two, in this era, this is the only one with Magic Network communication technology.Under the circumstances, it's actually the same, just to prevent someone from eavesdropping.
The magic network communication terminal for Gawain placed next to the desk was quickly activated. Relying on the relay devices set up at several forward bases and the "Black Forest Road" along the way, clear and powerful The communication signal spanned the distance of space, bringing distant sounds and images closer to Gawain.
Hetty's figure appeared in the holographic projection - with a little dark circles under her eyes.
It doesn’t seem to be painted...
She seems to be very busy recently, so much so that she has shortened her rest time.
Gawain couldn't help but feel a little bit of concern and worry, as well as a sense of guilt.
Because he will arrange more work for Hetty...
