After hearing Gawain's words, Heti immediately showed a nervous and worried expression: "Ancestor, this may be dangerous."
"Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety - and this is not my first time." I dealt with something similar once," Gawain nodded to Hetty, "There are some things I need to confirm."
Looking at the calm but unquestionable look on his ancestor's face, Hetty could only tell. He suppressed the words in his heart and took a step back.
Camel nodded to Gawain, stood up and floated to a control station next to the separation wall, and began to inject magic into those ancient runes.
Veronica held the platinum scepter and looked at Gawain with calm and profound eyes: "Can you tell me what you want to confirm?"
"Three thousand years ago, White Star fell, the God of Nature disappeared from his throne, and at about the same time, the Viplanton meteorite rain occurred in the northern part of the Gondor Empire, and a large number of 'extraterrestrial debris' fell to the earth... However, for so many years, no one has brought these two together. The things are connected together because scholars lack key evidence and do not understand the secrets that happen between the gods and the stars." Gawain looked up and looked outside the barrier and said unhurriedly, "Seven hundred years ago, I obtained one of the Veplanton 'Meteorites', which later became known as the Guardian Shield... In the process of communicating with this 'starry sky heritage', I got a glimpse of some ancient memories.
“The fall of the God of Nature is related to an impact that occurred outside the planet. The Veplanton meteorite shower and the debris around the giant deer Amorn are all products of that impact, and the most suspicious of them is The... is that the entire collision incident was actually intentional by Amorn. This god... committed suicide. ”
As Gawain’s words fell, even Veronica, who had always been calm and indifferent, instantly widened her eyes, Amber and Hetty even exclaimed in low voices, and then, the wall Kamel's voice came from the side: "The barrier can be passed, Your Majesty. "
"You wait here. "Gawain said casually, and then walked towards the slowly undulating energy barrier.
After passing through that nearly transparent energy barrier, the unique sense of chaos, depression, and weirdness in the Shadow Realm disappeared. They came from all directions. Gawain stepped out of the solid ancient corridor of the Disobedience Fortress and stepped onto the fragmented land connected by countless floating boulders. The builders from a thousand years ago used alloy frames, chains and springboards to build the ground. A road was paved between these boulders leading to the corpse of the giant deer Amorn, and Gawain walked along this road slowly towards the corpse of the god of nature. Like a hill shrouded in white light, it floated at the end of his sight.
Chaos and billowing "clouds" shrouded this gloomy world, with dark, lightning-like shadows between the clouds. Channeling, the huge boulders lost the restraint of gravity, rolling and moving on the edge of the broken earth and in the more distant sky. Only the space around the giant deer Amorn may be affected by the remaining divine power, or maybe it is disobedience fortThe ancient system in the fortress is still functioning, and the environment of the floating boulders and the entire "courtyard area" still maintains basic stability.
Gawain came to a place only a few meters away from the God of Nature - due to the latter's huge size, the body emitting white light stood in front of him like a wall at this moment. The others raised their heads and stared at the hanging head of the giant deer Amorn. This lifeless head was surrounded by a large number of chains, and unknown metal was inlaid and pierced between the flesh and blood. Among them, the chains were left by the people of Gondor, and those unknown metals... there should be the remains of the sky and fragments of some kind of space fighter.
"I'm very curious now..." Gawain said softly as if talking to himself, looking up and down the giant deer's head, "Are you really dead?"
As expected, Julu Amorn did not make any response.
Gawain smiled and shook his head: "I don't know your purpose, nor what plans you had back then, but if you think the time is right, we can talk now - if you If you have something you want to talk to me about."
The corpse of the god in front of him was still lying there quietly, but Gawain didn't care. He just smiled and recalled it unhurriedly. He said: "Looking back now, I once heard a mysterious voice in the Fortress of Disobedience, and that voice once asked me if I was ready... I thought it was an illusion at one time, but now it seems that I didn't listen at the time Wrong."
"So quiet now?" After a moment of silence, Gawain raised his head, looked at the closed eyes of Julu Amorn, and said seemingly casually, "But what happened to you back then? The 'movement' is not small. The debris from the explosion of the space station that was originally located above the equator even fell into the northern temperate zone."
The white light that slowly flows over the body of the giant deer Amorn. Suddenly, there was a moment of stillness that was imperceptible to the naked eye, and then without warning, his eyes that had always been closed slowly opened.
A pair of huge eyes that seemed to be condensed from pure light stared at Gawain quietly, and these eyes were so huge that Hetty, who stayed behind the safety barrier in the distance, Everyone could see this scene clearly - Amber jumped in shock almost immediately, and Veronica instantly raised the platinum scepter in her hand, but just before they were about to take action to sound the alarm , Gawain, who had his back turned to them, suddenly raised his hand and waved it to express peace of mind.
Gawain turned his back to the Disobedience Fortress. He could not see the situation of Hetty and others, but he could guess that everyone must be shocked at this moment, so he sent out a signal immediately, To give others peace of mind for a while.
Then he met the sight of the giant deer Amorn and shrugged: "You scared me."
"You scared me." An ethereal and holy man, The voice that seemed to be transmitted directly into the soul also sounded in Gawain's mind.
The sound came so simultaneously that Gawain was almost not sure for a moment that it wasIs the God of Nature expressing emotion or simply repeating himself? The next second, he felt very impressed with himself, because at this time, he could still come up with nonsense words in his mind. This is a very powerful thing. .
After using the slanderous words in his mind to resist his nervousness for a moment and maintaining a calm and calm attitude on the surface, Gawain nodded: "You are indeed faking your death - the god of nature." "The fall is a scam."
"No, the fall of the God of Nature is not a scam," the ethereal voice echoed in Gawain's mind - this scene is really weird, because the giant deer Amorn. His whole body was still firmly imprisoned in place. Even if he opened his eyes, he just looked at Gawain quietly. Only his voice kept coming, which made Gawain have a dialogue with the ghost living in the corpse. The feeling, "The God of Nature is dead, and only Amorn is lying here."
Gawain immediately frowned: "What does this sentence mean?"
Amorn did not answer immediately, but looked at Gawain quietly and asked: "Why do you know about the space station and the impact?"
"We all have some Their own secrets - and my source of information should be the least important of all secrets," Gawain said. "The important thing is that I already know these, and I am standing here."
"...You can't be an ordinary human being." After a few seconds of silence, Amorn suddenly said.
Gawain raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
"Ordinary humans cannot stand in front of me like you - even in my current state, ordinary mortals can't stand in front of me like you." It is impossible to remain unharmed even when standing at such a close distance under protection," Amorn said. "Moreover, ordinary people will not have your ambition, nor will they have the same respect and fear of gods as you do."
"...I admit, I may be a little special," Gawain nodded calmly, "But is this issue very important?"
"Somewhat important, "Amorn replied, "Because I can still feel a special aura in you... It makes me feel repelled and depressed, and makes me subconsciously want to keep a distance from you - in fact, if it weren't for these restrictions, , I will choose to leave this place when you first come here..."
Gawain did not miss every word spoken by the other party. While listening to Amorn's reply, he I am also constantly calculating in my mind:
This "god of nature" can sense some special aura of his "satellite spirit" and instinctively feels repelled. This should be left behind by the "God-killing Fleet" The inheritance itself has a special suppressive effect on the gods, and this suppressive effect will extend to himself with the invisible connection. However, in addition to being able to sense this breath, Amorn does not seem to be able to accurately identify himself and himself. The connection between satellites...
Of course, all this is based on the fact that the god of nature did not lie and act.Out of caution, Gawain decided that no matter what attitude or words or deeds the other party showed, he would only believe half of it.
Under this premise, he will protect his secrets and will never reveal anything to this god of nature who has been pretending to be dead for three thousand years unless necessary!
"I once held a fragment from the starry sky," Gawain said slowly while thinking about it, revealing the truth that was true but had nothing to do with "himself". "That fragment It affected me and made me something special. I think you have guessed that the debris was caused by your impact on the space station. I don't know if you can accept this - as long as I come into contact with it. Can learn a lot of knowledge, knowledge beyond human understanding..."
"Ah...this is not difficult to imagine," Amorn's voice came into Gawain's mind, "Those legacies...they There is such a power. They record their own history and can imprint information into your mortal minds. This is how the so-called 'eternal stone tablets' function, but they can successfully withstand this 'imprint inheritance'. Mortals are also very rare, and people like you who have made profound changes...even this is my first time to see it.
"This is not a perfect answer, I believe you must have concealed it. Lots of details, but that's enough. ”
“Then let’s go back to our original topic,” Gawain said immediately, “The God of Nature is dead, and only Amoun is lying here. What does this sentence mean?” ? "
Amorn looked at Gawain quietly: "Before I answer, I want to ask you one more question - are you really ready? "
"What preparation? Gawain frowned, "Do all gods like this kind of riddles as much as you do?" "
"This is not a riddle, but a protection for your fragile minds," Amorn said lightly, "Since you are standing here, I think you must have the basics of some secrets. understanding, then you should also know... When it comes to issues involving gods, the more you come into contact with, the further you deviate from human beings, and the more you understand, the closer you get to gods...
"The answers to some questions are not just answers, the answers themselves are tests and shocks.
"So, before you ask any question, before you want to explore any secret, you must think about it. : Are you really ready? Be prepared...to keep getting closer to God. "
Gawain frowned. He thought about Amorn's words seriously, and after weighing it, he said slowly: "I think we have ventured far enough in this field, at least. I myself am ready to talk to you. "
"That's the case, that's fine." I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a little smile in Amorn's tone, "The answer is simple, I destroyed my own god-this It takes a bit of risk, but the results are worth it. Mortals who once believed in the ways of nature experienced chaos and perhaps despair, but they succeededI was happy to see that the god came out and accepted the fact that the god had fallen - the god of nature was dead, the believers were grieving, and then divided up the church's inheritance.
“They did not try to create a new god after grief...and after most believers have mastered the power of nature through long and arduous study and study, the chance of a new god being born has been reduced to a minimum. This all agrees with my initial calculations
"I'm done. "
Gawain listened to every word Amorn said, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his face. He couldn't help but take a breath: "You mean, you are here to destroy yourself. God only went to hit the space station? Is the purpose to create an established fact for believers that ‘the god has fallen’? "
"The established fact of creating the "fall of gods" is only one of the reasons. On the other hand, I must also let myself "die" once - only in this way can the transmission of divine power be cut off. ”
“Cut off the transmission of divine power? Gawain immediately captured the key point in this sentence, "You mean, the transmission of divine power is not controlled by the gods themselves!" ? "
"That's it," Amorn said with a more obvious smile than before, "It seems that you have indeed learned a lot in this area, which reduces the time for communication between us. There are many obstacles that I don’t need to explain to you. "
"But I have a question," Gawain couldn't help but said, "Why did you do this? Destroying the throne, feigning death, or even being trapped here for three thousand years... Why would a god take the initiative to do this? "
Amorn fell silent, and after half a minute of silence, its voice sounded in Gawain's mind:
"...break the cycle. ”
