After breaking away from the spiritual network, Gawain felt quite regretful.
Although he secretly stayed in the conference hall before, hoping to listen to what the Eternal Sleepers would discuss later, but things did not develop as expected——
Those Eternal Sleepers They actually announced that the meeting was over, and then they went offline one by one.
But when he thought about it, he could only express his understanding - for such a major matter, anyone needs to calm down and think carefully before making a decision, let alone himself, an "outside wanderer" Just now, everyone was shocked at the conference. Even if the archbishops of the Eternal Sleepers have strong psychological qualities, they will inevitably have some psychological shadow if they continue to discuss in the same conference. The meeting was temporarily suspended to calm down, adjust the state, and check the safety of the venue. (Although the last one may not have any effect), these are normal.
And Gawain suspected that the impact of Archbishop Magnan’s full-force psychic storm should not be small - at least one-third of the archbishops who returned from the meeting should be recovering from their injuries, at least that Archbishop Yuri definitely needs some self-cultivation. After all, he didn’t seem to be in a very good state of mind during the entire second half of the meeting...
The brief dizziness quickly subsided, and Gawain let out a breath. , the familiar ceiling and room furnishings became clear in his sight.
It is already late at night.
A layer of quiet night shrouded the room, and some starlight spilled into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Not far away, the brass decorative lampstands, desks and wooden lattice on the wall were bathed in starlight, in the dim light. It looked hazy, everything seemed quiet and peaceful.
Only the sound of thin breathing came from a corner of the room.
The power of shadow gathered in that corner, condensing into a still darkness as if it had swallowed up the starlight. Gawain glanced over there, and could only vaguely see layers of shadow power. The sheltered Amber was half lying and half leaning on the easy chair, sleeping very peacefully.
"So-called Dark Night God's Chosen One..." Gawain couldn't help but murmured softly, "Sometimes I really doubt that her 'God's Chosen' is real... But what kind of temperament does this guy have?" "Divinity?"
He whispered softly, but it woke up Amber, who had "six senses keenly". The darkness in the dark corner instantly dissipated, and an empty chair appeared. He saw a petite figure, and a pair of amber eyes looked over in the darkness: "Hey! Are you awake? I thought you were going to sleep all night!"
"It ended earlier than expected," Gao Gao Wen nodded, "What time is it now...even if I ask you, I don't know. You sleep more soundly than me."
"It's just past midnight - I'm very sensitive to time," Amber While talking casually, he stood up and turned on the switch of the magic crystal lamp. Bright but not dazzling light emitted from several small lamps on the wall, quickly dispelling the darkness in the room and breaking the quiet starlight, "'Over there 'How's the situation?"
Gaowen thought for a while, then shook his head with a subtle smile: "...…A lot of things happened, so I’m afraid I have to tell them slowly. "
When Amber heard this, he waved his hand and walked towards the door: "Then say it slowly - I will ask the night attendant to go to the kitchen to get some food. You haven't had dinner yet. By the way, I'm hungry too...Phew, I slept for a long time, I'm so tired..."
Gawain: "..."
The night attendant quickly arrived. For a lighter supper, Gawain told Amber about his experience in the psychic network.
Of course, he deliberately downplayed his several "skinny" operations - not that he was worried about the impact of these operations. When it comes to his image in front of Amber, after all, few people in this guy's mind have a normal image, mainly because he knows Amber very well. Once he talks about those operations, this guy's attention will probably be attracted immediately. , and then it was difficult for him to get the topic back on track for at least half an hour...
After hearing what Gawain said, Amber was stunned for several seconds.
"Those Eternal Sleepers...really made a big deal..." Miss Half-Elf glared, "They actually let part of that thing seep out from Sandbox No. 1? This is really..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh: "If you could have intervened earlier, maybe the situation wouldn't be so bad. After all, you always come up with some weird ways. to solve the problem, but it's too late now. ”
Her words seemed to contain blind trust in Gawain. Although there was no concrete evidence, she already felt that Gawain’s early intervention in the incident could solve the crisis in Sandbox No. 1. Gawain had no idea about this. Pointing it out, he just shook his head: "On the other hand, it is precisely because the situation has developed to this point that the Eternal Sleepers have no choice, so they will think of asking me for help, and think of this plan that is almost self-abandonment, thus giving My chance to incorporate them. "
Hearing these words, Amber suddenly showed a suspicious look and glanced at Gawain with a strange expression: "... Speaking of which, are you deliberately waiting for the situation to deteriorate to this day? Leave the situation with no choice? Just to create such an opportunity to accept the Order of the Eternal Sleeper? "
The more she thought about it, the more Amber thought it was possible - she knew Gawain really well. Although he was famous in history as the "Lord of Knights", in fact he His abilities in the field of "planning" are even more terrifying. Shaping the situation, taking advantage of the situation, and taking advantage of the general trend to determine the overall situation are all his specialties. He used similar methods to disintegrate Lu'an City from the inside, and then used similar methods to complete the project. The transition from the Anzu Kingdom to the Cecil Empire, if he was willing... How difficult would it be to subvert an Order of the Eversleeping?
However, she soon shook her head again, before Gawain could answer? He denied it: "No, this does not comply with your standards. There are too many potential unrelated victims, and the risks are beyond control. "
Gawain looked at Amber for a long time and laughed.
"This situation is indeed worth taking advantage of for me, but it is not my master.It is driven by movement," he said. "In the final analysis, seeking death is really a traditional art of the dark sect, and it cannot be stopped. "
Thinking of the three major dark sects, Amber actually felt a little regretful: "If you think about it carefully, it feels pity. Their starting point was good, but their path was wrong. After seven hundred years of hard work, they ended up in the wrong place. This result..."
Gao Wen shook his head slightly: "But their efforts are not meaningless. They at least tried a way and accumulated valuable technical information, at least in terms of technical results. From this perspective, the things they have worked hard to accumulate will not be buried. "
After a few seconds of silence, Amber suddenly broke the silence: "How do you plan to deal with Sandbox No. 1? "
"The specific plan will not be finalized until I personally explore Sandbox No. 1 and come into contact with the power of the upper-level narrator, but now I can make some preparations," Gawain thought for a moment. He said slowly, "Go and call Tier tomorrow. I have something to ask her to help with...
" Besides, we can only wait for news from the Eternal Sleeper. After all, no matter what I have planned here, Whatever the plan is, the premise is that the Eternal Sleepers are willing to cooperate. If my estimate is correct, it shouldn’t take too long - they are more urgent than us.”
…
Yuri· Chalvin rested in the room of the underground palace for a long time before he recovered slightly. He walked out of the center of the magic circle depicting many mysterious runes, which had extraordinary effects such as stabilizing the spirit, correcting the mind, and filtering thought pollution, and saw Celine. The figure of Na Gerfen was already standing not far away.
"How are you doing?" the woman holding the lantern said calmly.
"... He's about 70 to 80% better. It's good to be able to recover in a short time," Archbishop Yuri said with a wry smile. "That guy Magnum... I've warned him a long time ago. It is simply the most ridiculous thing to etch Psychic Storm into your subconscious mind as an emergency protective spell. Sooner or later something big will happen, and now he should learn a lesson..."
Selena said calmly: "Psychic Storm If it hits someone else, he won’t be the one who gets a lesson.”
“…” Yuri was speechless for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, “That makes sense, Archbishop Selina. Are you here to reveal something to me in advance?"
"Establishing cooperation with extraterrestrial wanderers is the only option."
Archbishop Yuri was silent for a moment: "...it has been decided. ”
“Already decided”
“Including agreeing to the conditions proposed by the outsiders?”
"...I'm afraid some people won't agree," Yuri said in a low voice after a moment of pondering, "Since the development of the religious order, it has expanded and become more complex than it was at the beginning. Even the bishop-level positions are not all about academics. They are engaged in research..."
Selena looked into Yuri's eyes and said slowly: "They are believers of the upper-level narrators."
Yuri's eyes widened. eyes, but only heard the other party repeating it again:
"They are believers of the upper-level narrators."
After a few seconds of confusion and wandering thoughts, this person was born in a Typhon noble family and has witnessed many upper-level power reshuffles and experiences since he was a child. The Archbishop, who had experienced many turmoils in Aldernan, suddenly realized something.
"...Some people should have been on the list a long time ago, right?"
"Sooner than you think."
Yuri looked at The lady in front of me, who always had a gentle and calm expression and seemed harmless to humans and animals, suddenly couldn't help but smile: "It's just like what the wanderer from outside the territory said... He has brought us opportunities instead." < /p>
"Yuri, this is internal purification, not for the personal wishes of His Majesty the Pope, nor for anyone else's status, but for the future of all of us," Selina said quietly, "I hope you understand this."
"Yes," Yuri nodded slowly, "Internal purification...just purification. But is it really at this time? We are facing The threat from the upper level narrator..."
"If we are facing a god, the last thing we need is 'people'."
"...I. Got it."
Selena nodded: "As long as you understand."
The air was quiet for two seconds, and Yuri asked: "Archbishop Wendy. How is the situation?"
"The mental pollution has been contained, but she is still a devout believer in the upper storyteller. I don't know when she will be able to get rid of this state completely. You can visit her, but don't have too much contact with her. "For a long time."
After the words fell, Selena's figure disappeared into the air like a dream.
Yuri was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the room.
He walked through the deep and long corridors, passed through the ramps blocked by layers of restrictions, and arrived at the bottom floor of the underground palace, arriving at an independent area housing the psychic choir.
After taking two assistant priests with him, he came to the separate room of "Soul Song" Wendy.
The beautiful and haggard lady was sitting quietly in the room, leaning against the pillar in the corner, looking at the opposite wall in a daze.
The arrival of Yuri caught her attention. The psychic singer turned his head and showed a smile: "Good day, Archbishop Yuri."
"You can Are you free to think?"
"You can wake up occasionally, and it feels bad," Wendy said slowly, and suddenly noticed Yuri's face, "Huh? , Your mental state doesn’t look very good, what happened?”
“…A lot of things happened, but it’s not appropriate to tell you right now,” Yuri sighed, “Wait until you get rid of it. The contamination of the upper-level narrator may be shocked by the new situation."
"Oh? Are you also interested in the upper-level narrator?" Wendy's eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a smile. , "Then sir, please allow me to take up a moment of your time to introduce to youIntroduce our omniscient and almighty Lord to the world..."
The corner of Yuri's mouth trembled, he took half a step back, and waved to the assistant next to him: "Don't say anything, just get the acupuncture. "
...
When the bright sunshine once again illuminated the rows of rooftops and flat and wide streets of Cecil City, the city quickly woke up from its peaceful sleep.
p>
Gawain didn't get enough sleep last night, but he was still full of energy.
According to the scheduled schedule, he came to the Autumn Palace to meet with the messengers from Typhon and the man. Princess Matilda.
After seeing Matilda with black hair and black dress, he almost immediately noticed something strange about her -
She looked a little strange. She was tired and looked slightly dazed. Although she was cleverly concealed with exquisite makeup, she could still see a small amount of bloodshot eyes and even faint dark circles.
This surprised Gawain. .
“Don’t you adapt to the environment here? "He asked with some elder concern, "You don't seem to be in a very good state of mind..."
"I'm sorry, I let you see your inappropriate side," Matilda tried her best to smile. , trying his best to dispel the symbols and numbers swirling around in his mind like mental pollution, "I read some books last night... I probably read them for too long and forgot the time. "
"It's a good thing to like reading, but you still have to pay attention to your health," Gawain laughed, "How about it? Will it affect today's itinerary? "
"Don't worry, I'm more or less a high-level swordsman, I can make some adjustments and it won't affect today's schedule," Matilda replied, "Just follow your arrangements. "
"That's good, then according to the scheduled itinerary, I will take you to visit our Imperial College in person - this is also the most important part of preparing for the international student project.
"We will start from the Mathematics Department of the Magic Technology Branch, which is the cornerstone of many advanced technologies..."
