As Gawain took out the biological tissue suspected of being the flesh and blood of gods from the mixed circle in the Shadow Realm, the mutants in the outside world finally lost their almost endless vitality.
Accompanied by Knight Byron's heavy blow, the monster let out a deep howl. It staggered and fell to the ground, and began to evaporate rapidly like a real aberration, decomposing into black smoke and dust that drifted in the sky.
Gawain and Amber also returned from the Shadow Realm, but the former had a strange crystal cube in his hand.
Although they don't know exactly what happened, Byron and Hetty can also guess that their actions in the Shadow Realm destroyed the monster's resurrection mechanism, and Hetty immediately went up to meet him: "The ancestor monster finally died Already! Did you find something in the Shadow Realm?"
"Found this," Gawain raised the crystal cube in his hand, then looked at the guarding soldiers around him, and after a little thought, he said in a deep voice, "Byron, Hetty, Amber stay here, the others People are temporarily guarding outside the room."
The soldiers realized that their lord might have discovered something extraordinary in the Shadow Realm, so they left the hall without hesitation.
Byron's expression immediately became serious. He had just seen the thing in Gawain's hand just now, and now he had a vague association with it: "My lord... what you have in your hand is..."
"It's this thing that releases energy, which keeps the monsters outside revived, and the monster is probably also affected by it, and has lived here for a thousand years, and has many abilities that ordinary aberrants don't have," Gao said. Wen whispered, and told Hetty and Byron what he had discovered in the Shadow Realm, "...the situation is like this, we're afraid we really discovered something extraordinary."
With a clang, it was the staff in Hetty's hand that came out and fell to the ground.
"Is this... the flesh and blood of the gods?" The mature and calm lady finally lost her senses. She looked at the crystal cube in Gao Wen's hand with a hint of fear in astonishment, "God, how could a god..."
"I know it's hard for you to accept, and I know you are a believer in the goddess of mystery and magic. The fact that gods have fallen, and even flesh and blood has fallen into the hands of mortals, is a big shock to you," Gawain slowed down his tone, hoping that his The tone of voice can make my great-great-great-granddaughter calm down a bit, "But I also know that there is a sentence in the mage's creed: The road of exploration is endless, and God is also in it. Mage is never a group that is too godly , even if you believe in the goddess of magic."
"I just can't believe it," Hetty breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up her staff with a wry smile, "Do you know, I have only been so shocked twice in my life, and the last time was when I saw you standing up from the coffin when."
"It is said that there was a battle of gods in ancient times. Some gods were defeated, and after falling, their wreckage fell into the world. Their power and fragments turned into various extraordinary powers and magical creatures in the world. God," Gawain said as he prepared his explanation, "Maybe not all the wreckage of the gods have been 'transformed'. Maybe the Gondor Empire found such a piece of wreckage that is still alive and intact, and then created this secret Base to study it."
This explanation is relatively easy to accept, and it is not made up. In fact, Gao Wen even thinks that more than half of this explanation is in line with the truth.

Compared to Hetty, Byron seemed calmer. As a mercenary, he lacked awe of the gods. When he saw the wriggling weird biological tissue, he was more nervous and shocked, but he rarely felt awe and fear. , so he quickly regained his composure and thought: "Maybe it's not as exaggerated as we thought. There were so many powerful things in ancient times. Maybe the Gondor Empire just found the remains of some kind of demigod creature, and there are some What is that called...'divine' power, and then they were studied as the corpse of a god."
Gawain had to admit that Byron's statement was also reasonable: "It's also possible."
As he said that, he glanced around the hall, and he felt that he had grasped the clues about the research projects that had been carried out in this place.
"The Gondor Empire in the age of sparks... that was an era when human beings were proud and arrogant. The energy of the Deep Blue Well was endless, and the adaptability of the human spell system to the dark blue magic made the human mages at that time almost the most destructive spellcasters in the world. Or, once the world is invincible, what humans pursue will change, there is no shortage of resources, no lack of power, and what they want... probably only be as eternal as the legendary gods," Gao Wen said, While looking at the line on the wall of the hall, "Humanity will last forever. Even if you disobey the gods, the use of the word disobedience shows that the researchers at that time knew what a daring thing they were doing, but they dared to do so." Doing... frantically probing on the verge of death, that's probably what I'm talking about."
At the end, he sighed and shook his head: "It's a pity that the scholars of the empire soon discovered that the Deep Blue Well is the only super magic power well on the mainland, and its magic power has a transmission limit. The mighty Gondor Empire In fact, it was just luck. The territory of the empire was limited to the radiation range of the magic well from the very beginning, so the era of sparks is over, and all arrogant thoughts have turned into sleep and sleep... "
Everyone was overwhelmed by Gao Wen's words, and it was Heti who broke the silence in the end: "Ancestor, what are you going to do with these... gods' flesh and blood?"
"I'm about to talk about this." Gawain glanced at the crystal cube in his hand, then looked up at Hetty and Byron, "When you are looking at it, do you feel any... mental discomfort? Such as fear or Hallucinations or something?"
"No," Knight Byron shook his head. "Although I was taken aback when I first found out what it was, it's fine now that I accept it."
"That's right..." Gao Wen frowned, "I'm going to do a test, this test may cause some pressure on your spirit, are you willing? By the way, Amber has tried it herself just now, and this kind of mental impact is not It's not fatal and it's recoverable."
Amber stared immediately: "I didn't take the initiative to try just now!"
Hetty and Byron didn't hesitate too much, and they nodded together: "Ancestor (my lord), please start!"
Gawain thought for a while, then carefully placed the crystal cube on the ground, and ordered the two of them, "Stay away a bit."
Byron and Hetty complied without knowing why, and stood a few meters away from the crystal cube, then watched Gawain take his hand away from the surface of the cube, and slowly backed away. Any discomfort?"
The two of them still shook their heads, while Amber rushed out the moment she realized what Gao Wen wanted to do.
Gawain continued to retreat, and focused his attention on the changes in the biological tissues in the crystal. During the process, he also confirmed the status of Byron and Hetty over and over again, until he retreated to a distance of about fifteen meters. At the same time, the flesh and blood sealed in the crystal suddenly changed!
The originally slow-moving biological tissue suddenly became active, and the dark plasma flowing slowly around the biological tissue also accelerated its flow rate, and a large number of small "tributaries" spread out, forming a three-dimensional spider web inside the crystal. Like structure, and with the changes of the flesh and blood in the crystal, the expressions of Byron and Hetty also instantly became trance!
The moment Gao Wen saw this scene, he completed his judgment. He didn't even need to ask about the status of the two, he suddenly took a step back, and within the distance of this step, the god's flesh and blood that had just regained some vitality calmed down again.
"This... what's going on?!" Hetty woke up from the short trance, and looked at Gawain with a little bit of palpitations left. She couldn't recall that she saw it in that short moment just now. What, but she still remembered the terrifying feeling of losing control of her mind and her brain being filled with noise and phantoms, and what made her even more incredible than those horrible feelings was that Gawain could suppress the flesh and blood of a god just by taking one step forward restlessness, "How did you do it just now?"
"To be honest, I don't know, but I seem to be able to suppress the activity of these biological tissues." Gao Wen himself was really confused. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he really didn't know how to express his guesses, " Probably because I, the guy who came back from the dead, has violated the laws of nature, and has some weird powers."
Hetty looked at Gawain with a hint of awe, but apart from awe, she had a more practical question: "Then what should I do with this thing? Do you want to keep it with you all the time?"
Amber, who was so cowardly just now, came out of the corner again at this time, and was still commenting on the side: "I always feel that if you want to eat and sleep with such a piece of god's old jerky, you will be regarded as a pervert..."
Gao Wen thought for a while, and thought that if it was true as what Amber said, this would probably be the highest-level necrophilia in history, and this necrophilia might have to be prefixed with holy...
Then he pulled back his wandering train of thought and stared at Amber: "Don't say a few words and no one will treat you as dumb!"
Next, he conducted several more tests, and finally figured out the "aggression law" of the flesh and blood of these gods.
After all, it is a bit of remnants of the dead gods. The destructiveness of these biological tissues is not as great as Gao Wen imagined at first. He found that as long as ordinary people do not directly look at the flesh and blood, they will not be affected by it. The distance from these flesh and blood is more than 20 meters, so even if you stare at it, you can still be rational enough to divert your gaze or escape its influence.
That way, there's no need to send the thing back to the Shadowlands for preservation.
To be honest, sending this thing back to the Shadow Realm seems to be the safest way to preserve it. After all, no one in this world can enter the Shadow Realm except Amber, but Gao Wen always has a faint uneasiness. The magister did not put this piece of god's flesh and blood in the Shadowlands for safe control, because with Gondor's magic technology back then, they are fully capable of creating other types of space shields or magic puzzle locks to preserve this thing, which is easier and more controllable , and the safety factor is not worse than the Shadowland at all. After all, with the average magister level of the Gondor Empire back then, it is not as difficult to enter the Shadowland as it is today, so naturally it is not as safe to put things in the Shadowland.
Think about it carefully, those magisters put these biological tissues in the Shadow Realm, and set up a complex mixed magic circle for it. Rather than suppressing and restraining it, it is better to use the power of the Shadow Realm to maintain it .
Gao Wen recalled that there seemed to be a structure similar to charging runes on the mixed magic circle...
Thinking of this, Gawain made up his mind: he decided not to send this dangerous thing back to the Shadow Realm! What if it loses the control of this ancient test site, and it slowly grows and comes back to life in a place where no one can monitor it
