The moment Bertila Augustus exclaimed, Gawain's suspicion was confirmed.
The strange-looking woman in front of her was indeed the "old friend" in her memory, Princess Typhon 700 years ago, and the recognized saint among the northern druid sects.
However, she has completely changed her appearance and identity, and only part of her voice and soul remain unchanged.
She really lived seven hundred years! ! And became a high-ranking member of the Death of All Things Society! !
All the chaotic thoughts flashed by in an instant, but the expression on Gao Wen's face did not change at all. He strode towards Bertila. In this space supported by the power of dreams, he portrayed himself as the founder of Typhon. The appearance of Lord Roland Augustus.
However, it is clear that Bertila was not deceived by this "phantom" with her brother's face on her face. She still remembers that this is an illusion space created by spiritual projection, and everything she sees in front of her may not be real, especially if it is seven hundred The elder brother who had died under the sentinel tower years ago was resurrected from the dead.
She didn't know who was making this farce, but it was obvious that this contact, which should have been kept strictly confidential, had been targeted.
She stared at the approaching tall figure, and at the same time seemed to be ready to face it: "Who are you?!"
"You really let me down," Gawain responded indifferently. At the same time, he raised his right hand high, and a silver-white long sword flashing with lightning appeared in his hand, "You actually walked on this road!"
He knew that he had aroused Bertila's anger, and he was ready to start the battle openly. On the battlefield of the spiritual world, he was not afraid of any form of confrontation, especially when the opponent obviously relied on magical rituals or props to enter. Newcomers to "Dreamland", if they can take this opportunity to keep the minds of the opponent or the people around them, they will definitely gain a lot of information.
Bertila opened her hands, and a seemingly invisible wind began to surge around her. The two elves also began to chant ancient and mysterious spells, arousing the power of magic, and those shriveled figures in black robes raised their hands high Lifting arms as skinny as firewood, brewing their respective strengths.
Gao Wen raised the long sword that belonged to the founding king of Tifeng in the past, roared like thunder, and at the same time, a slight smile was brewing on the corner of his mouth.
These people are indeed novices in the dream world, they don't understand the fighting rules of this spiritual world at all.
The power of mind and spirit is the real power here, and superficial magic or moves are nothing but illusions in dreams.
In the next second, Bertila's figure suddenly disappeared from his eyes.
The figures of the elf sisters disappeared immediately after.
Several skinny figures in black robes also quickly disappeared.
The smile on the corner of Gao Wen's mouth froze, and after a short breath, he woke up suddenly.
He woke up from the couch at the pinnacle base, he saw the familiar prefabricated roof and the dim light of street lamps spilling into the house from the window, and Amber's soft snoring sound was coming from the next door.
Gao Wen: "??"
He was taken aback for a moment before he realized what happened. He is a dish, but he is not stupid.
They unplugged the network cable...
Gao Wen turned over from the bed and sat up. He did not indulge too much in this little setback, but quickly analyzed the precious information intercepted tonight.
This was a random entry by mistake, and after suffering this loss, I am afraid that the end of all things will not give him a second chance to intercept information. He must be cautious and cherish what he hears and sees. information.
Bertila Augustus has survived to this day. Considering her Archdruid ability and the policy of the End of All Things that have been causing trouble for hundreds of years, she should have used some kind of forbidden technique to keep her alive. It's not that it was unveiled in recent years like myself. Although I didn't see it clearly just now, it seems that Bertera's appearance has changed not only her appearance, but also her body seems to be different... Gawain recalled that he seemed to see vines or roots under Bertera's skirt. weird things.
She fell along with the group of druids who had entered the peak of the ancestors back then, and became one of the high priests of the cult.
There are two elves with her, and they should also be priests of the death of all things with similar identities.
Those shriveled and weird "people" in black robes are the targets of the end of all things that will send signals into the wasteland. No matter what they are, they are obviously active in that wasteland... and they are collecting data, constantly Pass it on to your compatriots outside.
They mentioned something called "Abominable Mutagen", and this phrase was deeply imprinted in Gawain's memory.
This is probably what those cultists have been doing all along, and it is their goal!
They know the evil! They are studying the abomination!
This originated from the Gondor Empire a thousand years ago. It was the product of the ultimate plan to allow humans to survive the crisis of the magic tide. Gao Wen thought that all the information about them had been annihilated in the long river of history, annihilated in the millennium of the rebellious fortress It's in the blockade, but I didn't expect it to be secretly circulated all the time! What do those cultists want to do? Want to complete the unfinished business of the ancient Gondor Empire
Is this the "great evolution" that Pittman once mentioned, the pursuit of death believers
Wait, the goal of those cultists should not be as simple as completing a biochemical experiment. The reason why cultists are called cultists is that they not only dare to think, but also dare to do... If they really reproduce the evil , then they will definitely find a way to spread it everywhere. Only in this way can the so-called... great evolution be realized.
What Gao Wen is most grateful for now is that his previous response was correct: he did not expose himself, but used the image of "Roland Augustus" to disturb the sight, and at the same time, he set up another Smoke bomb He believes that if the smoke bomb is applied properly, it will definitely have more unexpected effects.
But we must also consider the possibility of the smoke bomb being seen through. After all, that Bertila Augustus was a very smart woman back then, and the smoke bomb I set up in a hurry was not very clever... Maybe I should find a way from the eternal sleeper Do some cover up and arrange...
While thinking about it, Gao Wen perfected his aftermath plan, so as not to expose himself and not let others know that he has the ability to access the network of the Eternal Sleeper.
It's just that I don't know what kind of actions the end of all things will take after this serious change... Maybe they will hide it more cautiously, or they may start some actions in advance, and the latter is actually better. They may expose their feet and be eliminated in advance.
…
In the territory of Ansu, in the depths of the underground palace, Bertila fought against the uncomfortable dizziness and the sense of soul stripping, and quickly woke up from the sequelae of mind projection.
She raised her head and saw that the elf twins also woke up one after the other, and looked at herself almost at the same time.
"Psychic projection is not safe, our communication has been eavesdropped." She said with a gloomy face.
The elf twins responded at the same time: "Fortunately, we haven't started talking about more confidential and important information. The eavesdroppers can't grasp our next actions."
"The important thing is who it is," Bertila said in a deep voice, "he pretended to be Roland..."
"Actually... we sensed a breath," the elf twins said, "that was the power fluctuation after using the secret technique of eternal sleep. Although we were in a state of mind projection at the time, we had a lot of dealings with eternal sleepers, and we are more familiar with them in dreams. The feeling of exerting power."
"It really is those cowardly people who weave hallucinations and indulge in dreams," Bertila's eyes became colder and colder, "I knew a long time ago that those who are intoxicated in dreams are not worthy of trust..."
But then, she woke up from her anger, relying on regulating her own nerves and hormones, she forced herself to think calmly.
"Even those eternal sleepers who are intoxicated in dreams... are not reckless and idiots, they would not eavesdrop in such a stupid way, and they will not be caught by us... They are the ones who made the mind projection device, if they really If you want to do some small tricks, you can do it directly in the magic device... "
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at the twin elves: "Contact the Eternal Sleeper directly, tell them about the problem with the mind projection device, tell them that there may be outsiders invading the device, and see what they will say."
Blind doubt or suspicion is foolish, and blind trust is equally foolish.
It is better to ask straightforwardly than cover up. She chooses to communicate directly with the eternal sleeper. If there is really an outsider doing the trick, then the "expert" eternal sleeper will definitely be able to find the other party faster than herself, and if it is the eternal sleeper himself. This kind of stupid thing... so direct confrontation can expose them even more.
The day of great evolution is approaching, and she must eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible.
…
Deep in the wasteland, the creeping forest began to move again.
Those weird trees with countless roots and branches and distorted faces squirmed forward in the night. The speed of their movement did not seem fast, but in fact it was far faster than human feet. It didn't take long. This creeping forest gradually crossed the effective range of spiritual projection.
"Did something happen..." The giant tree headed by it murmured in a low and chaotic voice, full of disdain, "It's irrelevant to the overall situation."
…
Gao Wen waited patiently until the next morning.
After knowing what Gao Wen experienced in the dream last night, Amber was stunned.
For this half-elf who served as his own bodyguard, was in charge of the intelligence department, and already knew a lot of secrets, Gawain did not hide his experience, and what shocked Amber the most was the "ancient man" Bertila Augustus. exist.
"That Bertila is a human being who has lived for seven hundred years?! And she looks alive and kicking now?!" The half-elf lady stared at Gawain, "You still knew her back then? Even very familiar?"
"I know her brother very well. For a long period of time, at least five years, she also called me brother." Gawain looked at the obviously overactive half-elf in front of him, and didn't understand why this guy heard the information. Excited like this, even if she is really interested in these intelligences as the head of intelligence, the light in this guy's eyes is a bit too obvious, "But that's what happened back then, now things are people, she's a cult One of the leaders of the organization, and this cult organization obviously wants to do something, this is the crux of the matter."
But Amber obviously didn't care much about the key to this question, because her next sentence was: "Then is she one of the more than eighty princesses?"
Gao Wen was stunned to react for more than 20 seconds before he remembered that he should slap the half-elf into the wall.
However, Amber, who was full of a sense of crisis, had already sensed the murderous aura and jumped two meters away.
"You should be concerned about something serious." Gao Wen gave this guy a hard look, and then his face straightened. "Go and watch at the door. I want to contact the mainland, and I won't see outsiders for the time being."
He wanted to use the established magic net connection to contact Hetty in Cecil City and make some arrangements in advance.
When more data transfers are required, multi-person meetings or experiments are required, the mind network and origin space are relatively easy to use, but when information needs to be conveyed as soon as possible, the magic net terminal is still more convenient than the immersion cabin that needs to be prepared in advance. As for the degree of security of the two, in this era when there is only one magic network communication technology, they are actually the same, as long as people are prevented from eavesdropping.
The Magic Network communication terminal placed next to the desk and dedicated to Gao Wen was activated quickly. Relying on the relay devices installed at several forward bases and "Black Forest Highway" along the way, clear and powerful communication signals spanned the distance of space. , brought the distant sound and image closer to Gao Wen.
Heidi's figure appeared in the holographic projection with a little black eye.
It doesn't look like it was painted...
She seems to be very busy recently, so that she compresses the rest time.
Gao Wen couldn't help but feel a little concern and worry, as well as a sense of guilt.
Because he will arrange more work for Hetty next...
