Above the base of the Sentinel Tower, floating in mid-air by anti-gravity technology, is the most important "functional facility" of the tower, a shield projection device called "Stone Tablet".
The energy barrier of the Great Wall is maintained by the "stone tablet", but the function of the stone tablet is not limited to creating a shield. As a powerful magic facility, the stone tablet has a very complicated structure and function inside. It is creating a shield At the same time, it also assumes the role of the upper sensor, monitoring the condition of the barrier at an altitude of a thousand meters in real time, monitoring the energy tide within the wasteland range, and reporting its own status to the demon mind in the base at any time.
The sensor array in the stele is perhaps the last unit that can fail and bypass the daemon's mind.
"There is an elevator on the top floor of this room that can go to the stele," Banner opened a new operation interface on the alloy pillar next to the demon's mind, and said quickly while checking the system, "Let me see... Thanks to the spirit of the forest , the lifting platform is in good condition."
Gawain nodded: "Let's go to the stele to have a look."
Everyone had no objection, and Gawain then arranged for Soldering and the rangers to continue to guard the situation in the base, while he, Banner and others came to a circular lifting platform on the upper floor of the room where the devil's mind was located. It is moored quietly in the groove at the top of the room.
This lifting platform has been moored here for seven centuries, but the protection system of the Sentinel Tower has kept it in good condition. After Banner injected magic power and control instructions into it, the ground of the circular platform immediately Light blue lines of magic power and faint elf runes emerged, and Gawain felt a slight shock under his feet, and the entire platform began to rise slowly.
The magic cloud top that exudes dense light is gradually approaching in the field of vision, and the energy shield that protects the occupants is automatically raised around the lifting platform, but Gawain didn't care about the magic cloud above his head and the shield around him, he almost All attention was focused on the magic lines emerging from the surface of the lifting platform.
This is the anti-gravity technology of elves... far more advanced than humans.
It only needs to inject a small amount of mana to carry a considerable load up, and the floating process is unbelievably smooth. Its rune structure has obviously been well optimized, so that Banner hardly needs to perform additional manipulations on it. …
Humans also have floating magic, as well as floating devices based on gravity spells. In the towers of great mages, they often use similar floating platforms to transport people or goods, but Gawain knows the deadly effects of those floating devices. Disadvantage: They consume so much energy that they can only be used in the Mage Tower, and are not easy to control, so that they need the tower spirit of the Mage Tower to assist in the control so as not to fall. They are expensive and complicated, so that only mid-level to high-level extraordinary to afford the cost...
The researchers of the Rune Research Institute have been trying to crack and optimize human gravity spells, but they encountered a problem similar to the original communication spells: the black box of technology.
Gravity spells are not created by humans. Its source is a mystery. There are also a large number of unexplainable structures in the spell model. Jenny and her technical team have worked hard so far, but they have not been able to optimize the large-scale anti-gravity magic circle to be able to To the extent of practicality, so far, the only achievements of the Rune Research Institute in gravity spells are "weight reduction" and "floating tricks". The former has been applied in the fields of construction and material transfer, while the latter... Due to the extremely small load and the existence of multi-array parallel interference problems, it has not been able to be applied so far.
The technical black box of the old communication technique was cracked after the introduction of the technology of the eternal sleeper, so the technical black box of the gravity spell... Will there be a breakthrough in the knowledge system of the elves
The floating platform continued to rise, and it penetrated into the thick magic cloud top. The dense light and mist filled everyone's sight, and the arc generated by the friction between the magic power and the platform shield was crackling around, and the amber seemed to be shattered. This seemingly dangerous "passing through" was frightened, the goose shrank its neck subconsciously, while Gao Wen was still thinking about the application of anti-gravity technology
Breaking free from gravity and soaring into the sky is something that almost any intelligent creature would yearn for. Needless to say, its significance in the military and civilian fields, more importantly, the technology of breaking free from gravity is also something that Gawain has always been thinking about. In the conceivable field, this seemed to be the only way for him to touch those satellites in space and touch his own "body".
On this road, griffins can't do it, giant eagles can't do it, and the mage's personal flying skills can't do it either.
As long as the conditions are ripe, aircraft must be manufactured.
The floating platform passed through the top of the magical cloud that was more than ten meters thick, and the crackling electric arcs and dense light and mist gradually sank to the feet. Outside the platform, there was an amazing wide field of vision.
The majestic wall of astonishing scale spreads out before the eyes like an aurora falling into the earth, outlining the border of the ancient Gondor Empire. In the north, the end of sight is the undulating outline of the dark mountains, while in the south, the purple-black The corrupted land stretches as far as the eye can see, with hideous strange rocks and withered plants scattered on the plain, and some distorted and shapeless remains of wreckage appear in the distance, looking desolate and boundless.
Amber stared blankly at the scene on the other side of the barrier, and it took a long time before she exclaimed: "Wow..."
"That is Gondor, the most powerful empire in human history, and the ancestors of Ansu escaped from there seven hundred years ago," the memory from Gawain Cecil came to mind, Gawain looked at the south Wasteland broke the silence, "See that slightly crimson band-shaped area? That's the road, we killed one-fifth of the people on that road. And the crooked area in the distance The ruins, which looked like they had melted, were the last border city of Thranduran that was still organizing a resistance army. Back then, Charlie tried to persuade the lord of Thranduran to flee with his people immediately, but the stubborn old earl insisted To live and die with the city. He finally detonated Thranduran's magic pipeline, and those crooked things are the remnants of the magic pipeline."
Everyone listened quietly to Gao Wen's narration, even Amber couldn't help but fell silent, and during this brief silence, the entire lifting platform fell into a shadow
It reached the lower mooring area of the stele.
After a short period of adaptation, the eyes of the group got used to the relatively dim magic lights inside the stele. Amber blinked, looked around, and was surprised to find that the inside of the huge stele was actually not very big. There was only a circle within the line of sight. The hall, the hall has a high roof, but the highest is no more than tens of meters, and apart from the hall, she did not see any other exits.
Neat silver-white metal pillars stood in the hall, and those metal pillars might be the monitoring and control devices for the stele.
"Most of the entire stele is sealed off, wrapped with thick artificial rock and more than a dozen layers of magic materials," Banner explained, "this is because the stele is filled with very powerful energy, which The energy is extremely dangerous, and it must keep its own energy environment closed to prevent the shield from being unbalanced, so we must seal it. The walls of this hall are ten meters thick, relying on a huge magic circle set on the roof Connections have been established with all parts of the stele, and through this magic circle, we can understand the working conditions of all parts of the stele."
While talking, Banner came to those silver-white metal pillars. He activated one of them, and complex and mysterious elf runes appeared on the surface of the metal pillars. Accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, a large number of display data Illusory projections appear in the air around the pillars.
Gao Wen and Sonia watched Banner's work quite nervously. They hoped that Banner could find out some abnormalities, but at the same time, they were worried that they had discovered a major failure of the Sentinel Tower. The stele is the most important structure of the Sentinel Tower. Malfunctions here are almost always fatal, if the problem is here...
Then I'm afraid the entire barrier repair and reinforcement plan will become a joke.
Amber also paid attention to Banner's operation for a while, but she really didn't know anything about elf runes, and she didn't understand the working situation of the Sentinel Tower. After a while, she lost interest in the things in front of her and began to look around.
The "Visions" that happened one after another today made her very concerned.
She is a careless girl with a carefree character, but this does not mean that she is heartless (although many people think so), she will not simply attribute what she saw before It's as simple as "bewildered", but she is very clear that those things may only be seen by herself.
That was a projection from the Shadow Realm, or... a phenomenon that occurred after the Shadow Realm partly invaded the real world.
There is a shadow rift here? Why do shadow fissures appear out of thin air in nature
Amber frowned. She tried to relax her mind, allowing her innate and unexplainable shadow talent to gradually dominate her five senses. She breathed gently and scanned the entire hall.
She began to try to observe this place from the perspective of shadow creatures.
The figure I saw below was mostly a shadow dweller. The shadow dweller had no communication with the creatures in the material world, and even seemed to have a certain degree of malice, but they were closer to her. Amber didn't know the shadow dweller's attitude towards her Not close, but she did have experience dealing with each other.
Those weird, seemingly illogical inhabitants are actually intelligent creatures, and they will not point themselves in this direction for no reason, unless there is something here that disturbs the order of the physical world and the shadow world... something.
"The device here also shows that everything is normal." Not far away, Banner's slightly confused voice sounded. The elf magister repeatedly checked several key sensors of the stone tablet, and his tone was full of confusion, "Strange... Normal is outrageous…”
Sonia also came to Banner's side: "It seems that the sensor is working well. What about the connection with the demon's mind?"
"The connection is smooth, wait, it's too smooth..."
The voices of Banner and Sonia became faint and indistinct in Amber's ears.
Her hair has grown very long unknowingly, floating in mid-air as if she lost gravity, her eyes turned a strange pale gold, reflecting the black and white scenery of the Shadow Realm, a cloud of wriggling smoke gathered under her feet , Constructed a passage to the Shadow Realm.
She entered the Shadowlands.
Some hollow and strange figures wrapped in runecloth emerged around her, and those hollow figures whispered in a low voice: "You are in big trouble... They have already caused damage... But it seems that you can delay a little bit. That has nothing to do with us... But, I need to remind you, you belong to this side after all... Look up, look up."
Amber raised her head and looked towards the roof of the hall.
Huge hatching vines and roots entrenched on all the silver-white metal pillars, spread across the walls of the entire hall, and drilled out of the stone tablet along the cracks in the parking area of the lifting platform.
They seemed to be connected to the pedestal below, to the earth beneath the pedestal, to the wasteland, to something more profane deep within the wasteland.
"Mom!"
