Gawain watched Amber escape from the Shadow Realm in astonishment, and saw the panic and nervous expression on the other party's face: "What's wrong?"
"Shadow... There are things in the Shadow Realm!!" Amber almost jumped up and said, "That is definitely not something native to the Shadow Realm. Someone put them in it, and it spread everywhere!!"
As if a light flashed in his mind, Gao Wen suddenly realized what was really ignored by everyone. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Amber's arm: "Take us in and have a look."
Amber hesitated for a moment, but she nodded after thinking about the fighting power of several people on the scene: "Okay, but you must be careful, there are shadow dwellers wandering here, don't conflict with them."
Sonia and Banner listened to Amber's crackling talk, but they didn't understand what was going on at first. Only then did they realize that this seemingly inconspicuous half-elf has the ability to move freely between the real world and the shadow world. Shuttle between, the two couldn't help but widen their eyes, but they knew that this was not the time to ask for details, so they suppressed all doubts and quickly prepared for the space replacement.
The Shadow Realm is difficult to enter, but it is not completely closed to mortals. A powerful shadow caster can open the gap to enter the Shadow Realm after going through complicated rituals and tedious preparations. Well-informed elves like Banner and Sonia are naturally They have seen extraordinary beings who can enter the shadow world, but they just didn't expect that there would be such a strange creature as Amber who could "cross the border" casually.
After confirming that everyone was ready, Amber no longer hesitated, she released her natural power, and beside her, the boundary between the real world and the shadow world quickly became blurred.
An unknowable and unfathomable crack opened, and the entire rotunda was quickly covered with a layer of monotonous colors like a black and white filter. Those buzzing metal columns became quiet, and the holographic projection in the air disappeared. , a deserted, weird, black and white space descended around the four of them.
Although he had made some mental preparations, Sonia and Banner couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment after seeing Amber's innate ability, and Gawain immediately noticed those wandering around the corner of the hall with talismans wrapped around their bodies. Wen Bu's hazy phantom The residents of the shadow world seemed to be watching the uninvited guests indifferently. Gao Wen could even feel their inhuman gazes sweeping over him. Those gazes were not actually malicious, but extremely cold. .
Banner and Sonia also noticed the wandering shadow dwellers at this time, and the former muttered in a low voice: "I only saw them in the research materials... I didn't expect to see them with my own eyes."
"It's best to restrain your researcher mentality, this is the Shadowland," Sonia said softly, then she raised her head and looked around the hall, "These things... are really creepy..."
Those rotten vines stimulated the nerves of everyone present.
Gawain looked at the elf magister: "Banner, can you figure out what these vines are about?"
Like Sonia, Banner also tried his best to ignore the shadow residents who were watching indifferently not far away. He looked at the withered and corrupted vines spreading around in the hall, and shook his head while going forward to check: "I have never seen such a thing before. , but there is no doubt that they should not be here."
Gawain looked at Amber and confirmed again: "Are you sure this is not a 'natural product' of the Shadow Realm?"
"Anyway, I've traveled through the Shadow Realm so many times, and I've never seen anything like it before." Amber spread her hands, "How about I go ask those shadow residents?"
Hearing this, Sonia looked at her in surprise: “They will respond to you?!”
"Basically, sometimes we can chat a few words, but not all the shadow dwellers are willing to deal with people, and some of them don't seem to be very clear-headed," Amber said casually, then waved her hand and walked towards those standing A figure not far away said, "I'll go find out."
On the other side, after carefully inspecting the state of the vines and the alloy pillars, Banner has come to a preliminary conclusion: "These vines seem to have invaded the sensing and transmission structure of the stele, but I don't understand... I haven't seen them before. Can the erosion of the Shadow Realm really affect the real world?"
"There is a hidden relationship between the shadow world and the real world. What you said is very possible." Sonia nodded slightly, then frowned, "These vines... feel like they were cultivated by druids. Magic vine, but I have never seen the form."
A name has already appeared in Gao Wen's mind: the meeting of the death of all things.
Amber had already arrived in front of those shadow dwellers. She looked around, found someone who might be easy to talk to, and asked cautiously, "Hey, do you know who brought these vines in?"
The shadow wrapped in the rune cloth really responded to her. He turned his head slightly, but he didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he made a voice that seemed to be full of interest from the black mist-like head: " You're such an interesting individual, little girl... who put you in here?"
"Put it in what?" Amber was stunned for a moment, she suddenly felt that the shadow dwellers here seemed to be different from the ones she had come into contact with before, even if the shadow dwellers she had contacted before could communicate with her, they had never behaved like this ... "Sanity", "What are you talking about?"
"It's okay...it's not important..." The voice of the shadow dweller suddenly became low, and he mumbled some unintelligible words in a low voice, and then Amber heard him continue, "There are cracks here, many cracks... The powerful magic makes The borders here are fragile... outsiders have planted seeds outside, and they have grown here..."
After that, the shadow's voice became low and indistinct again, and he seemed to lose interest in talking. After some incomprehensible murmurs, the figures of him and the shadow dwellers around him began to dim at the same time, and they gradually disappeared. In the air, only Amber was left with a dazed face.
Not far away, Banner had already cut a section of vines from an alloy column, and he found that these vines were actually "dead".
"They are dead," the magister said in surprise, "but it doesn't look like they have been dead for too long... Their cores show signs of scorching, as if they were burned by a powerful energy flow."
Sonia raised her eyebrows lightly: "Could it be...was it burnt down by the overload before the Sentinel Tower?"
"I can't rule out this possibility. The time seems to be corresponding. It's just that the mapping relationship between the real world and the Shadow Realm is really weird. I'm not sure what happened here when the Sentinel Tower in the real world was overloaded," Banner said cautiously, " We can only guess now that these vines have indeed affected the operation of the Sentinel Tower in the real world, and have been affecting it. They interfere with the sensors of the tower, and may even tamper with some return signals. Not long ago, the entire magnificent The large-scale overload of the wall produced a powerful surge of energy, even breaking through the boundary between the real world and the shadow world, so these hidden things were burned to death... "
This may sound funny, but it might be the truth.
"I suspect it's the handiwork of the Death of All Things Society," Gao Wen expressed his conjecture, "You may not know it well in the south, but in the north, I have dealt with them a lot. They are good at cultivating this kind of distortion and corruption The biochemical creations, and once tried to infiltrate an observation post you set up on the border of Typhon, and Solderin also reported to the Silver Empire."
"... Those fallen druids..." Sonia frowned slightly, and then sighed softly, "Actually, we know a lot about the end of all things, although they are indeed operating in an area far away from the Silver Empire , but don’t forget that the druid lineage originally originated from elves.”
"The activities of the Doom Society have also caused losses to the Silver Empire," Banner added next to him, "Even within the Silver Elves, there have been fallen Druids who defected, including two high-ranking officials from the Temple of Nature. Those all-pervasive degenerates of the first class teacher, their tentacles are not limited to the northern part of the mainland."
Sonia nodded slightly, then looked at the withered vines entrenched in the hall, and took a deep breath: "But I still can't imagine that their destruction and infiltration will go so far... Sentinel Tower, they actually infiltrated The Sentinel Tower!!"
"Those shadow dwellers said that someone planted seeds in the outside world, and then these vines grew and infiltrated the border between the shadow world and the real world. They were talking nonsense, but most of them were true," Amber never said. Walked over from a distance, talking about the information he had inquired, "And they also said that the powerful magic power made the boundary between the shadow world and the real world fragile, which should be the magnificent wall, although the energy barrier blocked It caused the wasteland to spread, but maybe it also destroyed the spatial structure here... That's what I said, I don't know the specifics."
After Sonia listened carefully to Amber's words, the expression on her face became extremely serious: "In short, this matter must be reported to the Elf King Court immediately, and Her Majesty the Queen must send someone to check every Sentinel Tower as soon as possible. Although the vines in this tower have been dead, but maybe there are still alive elsewhere, and these hidden dangers must be eliminated."
"The communication function of the Sentinel Tower is still shut down. I'm afraid we can only use the Giant Eagle Messenger, human communication towers, and short-distance communication to relay information," Banner reminded, "Maybe we should find a way to repair it first." The communication function of the sentinel tower."
Sonia's brows were deeply frowned: "I'm afraid this is no faster than a relay communication. The communication circle is burned, not a simple failure."
Gao Wen was listening quietly at the side, and then he suddenly broke the silence: "Is the magic power cycle of the entire magnificent wall still complete? It is only the communication circle that was burned, isn't it?"
"Of course the magic power cycle is complete, otherwise there must be gaps all over the barrier," Banner replied immediately, "but only the magic power connection is useless..."
"I have a plan," Gawain interrupted Banner, "Do you know Cecil's magic web communication?"
"Magic Network Communication?" Banner and Sonia looked at each other, and then they all remembered the incredible magical creations they came into contact with when they temporarily lived in Cecil City, and thought of the most amazing magical creations among them. Novelty "broadcasting" device, "Ah! Remember!"
The first thing Banner thought of was the cheap and convenient terminal device used by magic net communication, and thought of its magical characteristics that can be controlled by ordinary people, while Sonia thought of the broadcast called "Witch Time". The Miss Witch named Jibril on the show is a nice girl...
"My plan is to connect our magic net device to the magnificent wall." Gawain didn't know what Sonia was thinking, he just continued to talk about his plan, "The principle of the magic net terminal is Although the current terminal we manufacture is only compatible with our own magic energy broadcast, it is adjustable. In theory, as long as it is a continuous and regular magic field, it can be used as a carrier for carrying signals. It's essentially a huge, circular magic field, and it's pretty stable, isn't it?"
"This... sounds feasible," Banner glanced at Sonia, and said with a little hesitation, "but it means that we have to open the communication key of the Grand Wall to you, and at the same time open the communication technology of the Grand Wall to you." Your technician, is it?"
Obviously, this was not as simple as "allowing Gawain to watch the inner structure of the Sentinel Tower".
Gao Wen smiled slightly: "Belsetia probably wouldn't mind building a communication line between the Silver Empire and the Principality of Cecil. Of course, I understand your concerns, but the situation we encounter may not be the same. It won’t give us room to think slowly.”
"I agree to establish this special line," Sonia said suddenly, "I am a high-level courier, and I will bear the relevant responsibilities."
Gawain exhaled lightly, and stretched out his hand to Sonia: "This will be the right choice."
