Chapter 900 Another record

Amber raised her head and met Gawain's calm and profound gaze.

"What...then?" She couldn't help but asked curiously.

Gawain turned to the next page of the travelogue, and among the mottled ancient notes, the last few paragraphs of this record gradually appeared in front of the reader:

"... Brian's answer gave me an inexplicable fear, and I believe that this fear has nothing to do with his words themselves - some kind of super-experienced 'premonition' derived from the intuition of a transcendent person brought this fear, I instinctively feel that Brian is mentioning a pretty bad situation. These shadow dwellers who are wandering on the edge of the deep dream and maintaining the boundary between waking and dreaming. When they wake up collectively... I'm afraid they have nothing to do with the material world. Good thing.

"The only good thing is that this doesn't seem to be happening in the short term - Brian replied. He said: We will eventually wake up, but now it seems that this stage is still far away. The dream of the deep world was once on the verge of waking up, but not long ago, it has regained stability, and this stability may last for a long time. .

"I asked him what caused the fluctuation of the dream in the deep world, what made it awake, and what made it stable again - but Brian didn't answer. He returned to dreaming and wandering. After that, I tried it several times, including on other shadow residents, and the results were similar. It seemed that as long as this issue was involved, they would immediately enter a deeper dream state... This further aggravated my uneasiness. .

"On X month X...the investigation without progress for many days was frustrating, and what was even more frustrating...I found myself at the point where I had to leave.

“Unknowingly, I have been stuck in this world dominated by the shadow power for too long. Even if I have the opportunity to return to the material world to recuperate, I continue to be affected by the shadow power here— —Without a physical body as a 'foundation', the depletion and assimilation of the soul is faster than imagined. If I don't return, my soul may be irreversibly damaged, and I may even...become a member here forever.

“On X month, it’s time to say goodbye. Say goodbye to Brian and say goodbye to the other shadow residents. Although we are not of the same race, I even used a disguise to lurk around them. But I did spend some fulfilling days with these mysterious creatures... they were unsettling but also gave me unimaginable knowledge that I think I will always remember, along with these special 'friends'.

“Before I leave, I will fade away from my Shadow Soul form and say goodbye to Brian and the others head-on. This is a bit risky, but it is more in line with my principles, and I feel that... after many days of getting along, at least What can be changed? These shadow residents also have reason and memory. Maybe they will also accept me as a special 'friend'...

"No fight on X month X day.

“Forget it, that’s it, any tripAll journeys must come to an end, but at least this journey was particularly fulfilling. It's time for me to go back to old Malfoy to take back my body - goodbye, Shadow Realm. "

"The main record ends here," Gawain raised his head from the travel notes and looked into Amber's eyes. "After this, there are two short paragraphs, where Mordor Wilder mentioned himself. After his body recovered, he returned to the Shadow Realm once more, but he could not find the shadow residents again - they seemed to have wandered to other places. In the following years, as he gradually aged and spent most of his energy on sorting out his early notes, he never went back. "

Hubo opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing. She took a step back, came to the chair next to the desk, sat on it, and stared blankly at the travel notes on Gao's desk. It seems a bit lost.

"The words above...reveal a lot of things," Gawain said, "a lot of information about the Shadow Realm, about the residents of the Shadow...as well as the mysterious shallow world and deep world. boundary. But I think the most important thing to you...should be..."

"A member who 'wakes up' early and disappears from the sight of the tribe...then it should be me. ," Amber took a breath and seemed to have regained her spirits. She pointed at herself, "According to the timeline, I should have been sleeping in the Shadow Fortress during the years when Mordel Wilder was active... Based on the appearance of an artificial human embryo. form. Scholars from the Empire of Gondor captured the souls of the Shadow Dwellers and successfully injected one of them into an artificial human body. This is where I come from. "

"Yes, we all know about this," Gawain nodded, "Now it seems that your adoptive father must have learned part of the contents of Modir's travels from some source. There may be some mention of your life experience in it, so I took the risk to steal it. "

"But it's so worthless," Amber looked at the Modier Travel Notes and whispered as if talking to himself, "The content in it... is not worth what he does! I don’t care how I got here, why not live peacefully in seclusion in the countryside? "

"But he probably felt it was necessary," Gawain shook his head, "and he was probably not sure of the real content in this travel book, and he didn't expect that he would miss it. He couldn't do all this in advance. decided. "

Amber couldn't help but mutter: "He is a fool. His skills as a hidden knight have long been worn away by hanging around in the countryside, but he still feels that he is the elite royal shadow back then. Wei..."

"...This mentioned the 'birth' of the shadow dwellers," Gawain glanced at Amber and did not offer any words of comfort, but went directly to other topics, "They were born in In a dream in the 'Deep Realm', and the continued existence of this dream allows them to maintain their current state, they are wandering in the Shadow Realm, actually wandering on the boundary between dream and wakefulness... Can you understand what this is? What do you mean? "

Amber thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know - although I can communicate with the shadow residents, theyI have never been told about this, but I can ask if I have the chance. "

Then she added: "Of course, I have some conjectures of my own... I think the descriptions of the 'Deep World' and the 'Dream of the Deep World' by the Shadow Dwellers are probably related to one place. ..."

Gawain frowned, and quickly guessed what Amber meant based on the information he had: "You mean...the Shadow Realm? ”

“If the real world we live in is the ‘shallow realm’ for the inhabitants of the shadows, and if the shadow realm is the ‘middle layer’ between the deep realm and the shallow realm for them, then The Shadow Realm... is most likely what they call the 'Deep Realm'," Amber nodded and said, "In terms of spatial relationships, the Shadow Realm is also the deepest of the several 'realms' we know of so far. place, so this aspect is still very possible. "

"Then what is their so-called "dream of the deep world"? Gawain frowned and said, "The Shadow Realm is empty... So far, except for a god of nature hiding in it and pretending to be dead, we haven't found anything there, let alone any dreams." ”

“Do you think that giant deer Amorn knows something? Amber said while thinking, "He seems to have been in the Shadow Realm for a long time, and as a god, he should know more than us." "

"If possible, I would like to avoid obtaining 'knowledge' from Amorn as much as possible," Gawain thought for a while and said seriously, "My intuition tells me that there is a lot in it. The risk - the risk does not come from Amorn's 'malice', but from some kind of 'law' that even Amorn himself cannot control. Since ancient times, countless mortals have suffered terrible fates after being overly exposed to the knowledge of the gods. Asking questions to the gods is a bad idea in itself.

"Of course, if there is no way out in the end, and we urgently need to dig deeper into the secrets of the Shadow Realm, then asking Amorn to ask is also an option, but before that... we'd better get this information First tell the scholars in the empire and let them find a way to solve this problem using 'mortal wisdom'."

"Okay, that's what you said," Amber waved his hand, and then seemed to say something else. Thinking of something, "By the way, I just thought of one thing... The 'deep world' you mentioned, is it related to the 'deep sea' mentioned by Amorn before?"

" In fact, I had my doubts at first," Gawain frowned, "But I always feel that the 'deep sea' that Amorn takes so seriously should not be such a simple thing, if the Shadow Realm is the deep sea or the entrance to the deep sea. ...Why would Amorn say that no mortal has been able to touch the deep sea from ancient times to the present, and even gods are just ripples in the deep sea?"

Amber thought about it seriously and felt that Gawain's statement was also true? Reason, she thought about it for a long time with a serious expression, and finally sighed as if giving up, stretched out her limbs and slumped down on the chair without any image: "Hey... I feel like my head hurts... This is all such a mess. sevenWhat a mess. Let me tell you, I am not suitable to think about this kind of problem..."

Gawain couldn't help but smile and glance at this shame of the empire - it seems that this guy has recovered.

Then he turned his attention back to the Modier travel diary. After two seconds of thinking, he looked at Amber and broke the silence: "Next, it's time to study how to deal with this travel diary..."

Amber subconsciously followed Gawain’s gaze and took a look at the ancient book with a mottled cover. For a moment, she seemed to want to reach out, but before taking action, she laughed. , shook his head: "What are we still discussing - of course the property must be returned to its original owner. According to the regulations, after making a copy, just return it to the Ice Duchess. Anyway, most of the book is devoted to Modir's travel notes. ...At worst, you can take out the irrelevant content and then return it to her. "

Gawain glanced at the Shame of the Empire with some surprise: "I thought you would want to keep it. "

"...Actually, I really thought about it for a moment," Amber curled her lips and slumped on the chair lazily, "After all, my adoptive father lost his life for such a shabby book. I lost my life, but if I think about it carefully... what does this book have to do with me? It's just a note left by an adventurer who has nothing to do with me after going on an adventure that has nothing to do with me. It happened to contain my original race... I have no reason to appropriate other people's things for this.

Gawain suddenly became even more surprised: "These words are not like the words of a man who once swore to be the number one thief in the South - this is not what you did when you dug my grave." "

As soon as Amber heard this, he waved his hands: "Don't mention it, don't mention it. I dug a grave and got caught by the stolen goods. My last career was over at that time..."

Gawain: "..."

After two seconds of calm thinking, he glanced at the Guardian Shield and Pioneer Sword placed not far away: "Have you considered it? Is it possible to get beaten up by stolen goods? ”

The next second, Amber’s figure disappeared in the study room.

Outdoor, the sun was shining brightly.

Autumn is approaching, and the bright There was less heat in the sun, and the air seemed more pleasant than before.

Amber walked on the street leading to the bustling area, gradually breaking away from the hazy effect of shadow. It was as if the black curtains were falling away from all directions, and she let the bright sunshine pour onto her face.

It felt good to walk in the sunshine.

She raised her head and looked. With the brilliant sun hanging high in the sky, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Gaowen retracted his gaze from the window and left the large floor-to-ceiling window facing the eastern block.

Modile Wilder, perhaps the greatest adventurer in the history of Ansu, has traveled throughout the world known to mankind and even into areas unknown to mankind. He left behind a He has acquired countless valuable intellectual wealth, but the turbulent current situation has caused many of the things he left behind to disappear in the long river of history.

For example, few people know that Mordor Wilder also challenged the sea...

Gawain picked up the travel journal, opened it again, and found the story before the amber came. The part that I am flipping through and haven’t finished yet.

In addition to the adventures in the Shadow World, there is also a part of this travel book that he is extremely concerned about - about the "mysterious" piece of history that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Wilder family. Cold Disaster Talisman".

Those ancient and neat handwritten words caught Gawain's eyes:

"On X month X day, while sorting out some folklore from the Eastern Region, I discovered some interesting things. clues, which may be the beginning of my next adventure...

"There is evidence that about a hundred years ago, the great pioneer hero Gawain Cecil left In my own territory, I went on an 'adventure' that even an adventurer like me was amazed by - challenging the ocean.

“Not many people know about this secret voyage, and what has been passed down are mostly specious and weird stories. However, I still found clues that can corroborate each other from many trivial information. With the intuition and experience of an adventurer, I think this is not a simple heroic story compiled by bards, but an adventure that actually happened.

"This excites me. extremely!

“Think about it, a hero from a hundred years ago, a man who was not a professional adventurer, bravely challenged the sea and came back alive, but I, who call myself the greatest adventurer of this era, Spending half my life wandering around on safe land... What a great irony, and what a great motivation!

"It's really time for me to start a new adventure - to collect more information! , look for more clues, and be well prepared, Mordel Wilder will embark on the most thrilling challenge in his adventurous career...

"To find Gawain Cecil's hero Airway'!"

(Recommend a book, "I Just Want to Win" about gaming and e-sports, emmmm... I feel like I haven't read a book of this type in a long time, everyone can go and support it. )
