"There may be two Sky Towers."
Sister Angel saw that we were a bit overwhelmed, so she repeated it honestly, with a very serious expression.
Seeing this guy's dumb face and honest look, I couldn't help reaching out and pinching the tip of his nose, and then coughing dryly: "Ahem, two sky towers? What did you see? "
"Magic energy matrix distribution map," Alaya always has a sky tower model condensed with holy light floating beside him. In the past few hours, this thing has become the non-combat pet of sister Angel. Pushing it in front of us, pointing to the upper half of the shadow area, "Our current location is probably here. As I said, this is the last focus of the magic energy matrix. I originally thought that such a place should be the center of the entire Sky Tower." The control room, but I guessed wrong, here is just an observatory, used to display astronomical data. The real control room is not in this tower where you are, but should be in the corresponding position of another tower, I call it Phantom Tower. I just observed that the magic energy enters a bifurcation point after passing through this layer, and a part of the energy is sent to a different space. By tracking this part of energy, I found that there is a space in a certain space that is very A similar magical environment. I tried to use the 'Helka-style transposition formula' to inversely calculate all the magic energy readings collected along the way, and then filled them into the base magic circle on the first floor of the Sky Tower, and observed them …”
Alaya eloquently explained the esoteric knowledge that was difficult to understand (although she herself might think she had explained it quite clearly). More than half of us present began to feel drowsy. Just when I couldn't help but ask her what the magic energy matrix is, Sister Angel finally got to the point: "Those escaping energies form got this thing:"
She raised the model of the Sky Tower, and part of the holy light poured down from the tower, and slowly condensed directly under the suspended platform where the Sky Tower was located, forming a tower that was exactly the same as the upper half of the tower, but like a reflection. The upside-down "Sky Tower".
"If it is converted to real space, it is directly below the platform where the sky tower is located. There is also an identical phantom tower, at least their magic energy structure is exactly the same. This tower is located in a different space, and can hide from any scan .”
"So there is still this kind of secret hidden here?" Sandora faced the new secret exposed by the Sky Tower with a completely numb attitude, and just asked lightly, "Can you find the entrance to this Phantom Tower? Is it On the first floor? Are we still going down?"
No wonder Sandora guessed so, the corresponding posture of the phantom tower in the real world is just a reflection of the base of the sky tower as the dividing line. Naturally, people can't help thinking that its entrance may be on the bottom floor of the Sky Tower—maybe using a super-equivalent space implosion bomb can explode an entrance on the first floor of the Sky Tower? cough cough. All right. I'm not Pandora, I should think of something normal.
"The entrance is at the top of the tower," Alaya said directly with a completely opposite answer, "because the two towers are reflections of each other, so their concepts of up and down are completely opposite. Oh, you don't need to know that it's too complicated It’s the principle, just follow me.”
You should have said that earlier! How many magic idiots we have here!
Alaya soon activated the crystal cluster again. She ignored the places where there might be hidden things in the middle floors, and directly set the teleportation destination as the most "top" end of the Sky Tower. Perhaps somewhere else in the tower. There are countless wonderful and confusing secrets waiting for everyone, but we don't have time to waste our limited energy on solving infinite puzzles. So I had no choice but to give up the plan to continue exploring on other floors: this made Qianqian very depressed. Well, if there is a chance in the future, it doesn’t matter if I bring her here for a few days and nights. I can even pack the whole tower and drag it to Shadow City, but now—my intuition tells me that the real ultimate answer should be hidden. In the reflection of the Sky Tower, we should head there—well, in fact, my intuition told Lin Xue first, and then Lin Xue told me.
This time the transmission was unexpectedly smooth. I thought that our group of "visitors" who no longer had permission would have to face at least a group of guards if we had to forcibly enter the top floor of the Sky Tower, but in fact nothing happened: The core security system of the tower seems to be completely broken.
When the glare from the teleportation dissipated, we came to an empty place, and the surrounding light suddenly became very bright.
"It's windy on all sides, and this time it's not a holographic projection." I first looked around and found that this is a real open space. There is a circle of gray-white stone pillars in the distance, supporting the mirror-like roof above. The clear blue sky and white clouds, the gentle breeze blowing in from the gaps between the giant stone pillars, cold and dry: this place is much brighter than the previous weird halls one after another. I didn't expect that the top floor of the Sky Tower was open on all sides. I thought I was going to see a bigger hall again.
"It's a mirror up there." Qianqian raised her head and looked at the roof more than ten meters above her head. That was the strangest place on this floor. A few upturned faces and the back of Madison's head: that silly bird was the only one on the scene who had no sense of the surrounding environment, and now she started looking for stones on the ground again.
"The image in the mirror feels weird," Lilina raised her head vigorously, looking at the roof of the mirror and muttered, "Ah, boss, I found out that the image in the mirror is black and white except for the images of us! "
"That's the entrance to the Phantom Tower." Alaya looked at the model beside him, then looked up at the roof, and said with certainty.
"Because it's a mirror-like tower, so the entrance is simply a mirror?" Bingtis raised her head with a pergola in her hands, slowly showing an eager expression, "Could it be enough to just fly in?" Speaking of which, she looked Alaya glanced at her and nodded towards her, so Sister Bing spread her wings: "This entrance is really troublesome. It's so high on top of your head—I'll go by myself!"
After the words fell, Bingtis had already flapped his wings and soared into the sky, rushing into the seemingly intact and smooth mirror surface. When passing through that plane, the mirror surface had circles of ripples. There are no other changes outside, the whole process is safe and stable, and then. The figure of Bingtis is in the space in the mirror: lying on the floor on that side in a five-body posture, of course, from our side, it looks more like a spider sticking to the ceiling. "I X," Bingtis' voice sounded in the spiritual connection, "Be careful when you come here, the gravity is reversed here!" Everyone: "..." It's good to have someone who goes out to landmines.
Silently thanking this hot-tempered and silly big sister for her contribution to the team, we all took off and passed through that layer of "mirror".
A moment through the mirror. I can feel the sense of disobedience of the space switch, the next second. The direction of gravity is twisted by 180 degrees. At first it felt like flying upwards, but suddenly it turned into a head-on-foot fall. Fortunately, everyone was prepared under the reminder of Bingjie, and no one except Alaya fell headfirst like Bingtis On the ground, as for the dumb cat angel with feathers fluttering around and trying to stand up in the street, her wrestling is completely natural.
"This is the other side?" Qianqian looked around curiously. "The things are the same as those on the opposite side, but there is no color."
The side coming through the mirror has the exact same layout as the other side of the mirror. It is also a wide platform paved with boulders, empty in all directions. On the top of the head is the layer of mirrors we just passed through, and in the distance stands a circle of magnificent stone pillars, and outside the stone pillars, there is a distorted gray-white sky: it looks like very light ink has fallen on tissue paper and spread out The same stains are formed. Just as Qianqian said, the things on both sides are exactly the same, except that everything here has no color, only black and white tones with distinct layers.
And we ourselves are the only colored "things" in this black and white space.
"Well, it feels weird," Bingtis shuddered like goosebumps all over her body, and muttered with a bitter face, "I think there is definitely something wrong here, you should not stay here for a long time, you know." Then she looked up, Said: "Look at the top."
Of course, the upper layer is the mirror that everyone just passed, but it is completely opposite to what we can see on the opposite side. The space in the mirror seems to have bright colors, but the images of us have become black and white. Seeing this scene, Qianqian said something very creative: "Haha, it looks like a posthumous photo!"
... How can this girl say such things with such a happy expression!
"Great, the teleportation crystal cluster can still be used," Alaya first went to check the teleportation crystal in the center of the platform, and was pleased to find that the teleportation rules in the Phantom Tower were the same as those in the real Sky Tower, but soon She also found the bad news, "Um, Brother Monarch, the floor of the control room is locked and teleportation is prohibited."
"Well, it's normal." I'm not surprised, "After all, it's a real control room, so it's definitely not that easy to get in. First go to other floors to see if the mirrored tower is exactly the same as the real tower outside. By the way , let’s go to the lobby on the first floor.”
According to the intelligence that Alaya "monitored" from the nearby matrix focus, this phantom tower is really exactly the same in structure as the real sky tower in the outside world, but it is unknown what will be on each floor , when there is no exploration target at all, and the only suspected target (the control room) is still unreachable, it is naturally the same wherever you go. In contrast, the first floor of the Phantom Tower seems to be a little safer.
Alaya quickly started the teleportation again, but this time, the crystal cluster that had turned into a black and white noise group did not emit the familiar crisp sound, but a violent and piercing sharp whistling sound, like countless sharp As if the blade cut hundreds of layers of steel plates in an instant, we looked at each other in surprise, thinking that the crystal cluster in the Phantom Tower was malfunctioning, but the next second, the teleportation started normally. After a flash of light and shadow before our eyes, we found ourselves in an extremely wide and empty assembly hall.
"It's not quite right, there's something around." As soon as the teleportation was completed, Lin Xue, who had the most keen intuition, frowned and muttered, and almost at the same time, Bingtis had already taken out her Holy Light Brick... Okay , with the horned bible in chains, put on a posture to meet the enemy, but after a little hesitation. She put away the Bible, and instead took out a gorgeous golden longbow that surged with powerful energy.
I almost forgot that this female hooligan's real weapon is actually a bow and arrow: a weapon that doesn't match this guy's triad temperament, just as inappropriate as that elegant black evening dress.
Everyone protected Sakina and other weak combatants in the middle of the team, and carefully guarded the surroundings. I didn't see the enemy, but the environment here was indeed not right. There was a kind of gray-white mist in the black and white hall. The wall opposite the hall is blurred and cannot be seen clearly, and the sense of discord comes from this layer of fog. It seems that there is something hidden in them, and it is slowly gathering together with the arrival of the intruder. A golden light began to diffuse around Sandora, the mind control power had been activated, and her eyes moved slowly around. Look for possible targets. The Spirit Flayer's powers are great for finding hidden enemies, no matter where they may be hiding. How to hide your body shape. Thoughts cannot be hidden, so the aura of the Soul Reaper can also be regarded as one of Sandora's radars.
However, after scanning around, Sandora shook her head: "There are enemies, but I can't find their location. Thoughts come from every inch of space. In other words, all of us are now inside a huge spiritual world."
"But it's much colder than Brother Monarch's spirit." Alaya shrank his neck. Describe how you feel in a very specific way.
No one at the scene could empathize with her, except Xiao Qijing who was sleeping soundly in my mind.
Just when everyone was fully alert. The attack came without warning—a slight hum came from directly above, and then a thin golden blade suddenly condensed out of the thin mist. The golden sharp blade slashed down fiercely, and after touching the joint shield of everyone, it burst into a burst of dazzling light and ear-piercing sound. Of course, it failed to break through this layer of defense, but outside the shield, the contact point of the attack Next to it, countless black slits burst out in an instant, and the surrounding scene was instantly distorted: the space was cut into pieces.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the blue-white light beam from the individual hand cannon instantly shattered the golden long sword: almost at the same time as the attack came, Pandora quickly locked onto the enemy's coordinates, even though there was only a volley floating there. The little guy fired without hesitation. The psionic light beam destroyed the long sword that made the second slash on the shield from the front view, and at the same time dispelled the mist in a large area, but this still failed to force out the enemy's figure, responding to Pandora's attack Only a larger number of golden sword blades emerged from the air.
"Boom boom boom!!" Continuous and more intense explosions began to reverberate throughout the hall, and a counterattack by Pandora directly became the signal for the start of a large-scale attack. More sharp blades quickly condensed in the air in all directions, and at the same time began to emerge. Other things came out: the golden holy light core, the pale arcane focus, the golden-red scorching ray, and more attack methods that I can't even name, overwhelming, bombing the joint shield like a storm , These attacks have only one thing in common, that is, they are all extremely powerful magical powers. When these things gather together and blast towards me, I even feel that a hundred suns around me are collapsing!
And the moment the strike started, the entire hall also changed: the crystal clusters close at hand and the walls in the distance instantly disappeared, replaced by endless chaos.
Space is displaced.
"Oops, this must be a higher-level security method." Seeing the changes in the surrounding space, Bingtis, an experienced combat guy, immediately thought of the possibility of a bad situation, "He was sent to a different space, that is to say Is it fully fired?"
"Where is the enemy? This is," my sister frowned, looking quite unhappy. The black aura around her made Bingtis, who was fearless, retreat several meters. "If you can't lock the target, you can only Defense."
My sister has been trying to cast a vague curse to deal with the enemy: in the absence of a certain target, she can only set "hostile units" as vague targets to counterattack. This is the only shortcoming of her terrible curse power. Under the circumstances, this shortcoming is not a problem. In the face of mysterious and unpredictable doom, there is actually not much difference between killing directly with a curse and being tortured to death by a series of probabilistic events, but now, this shortcoming has obviously been magnified many times. The attack should be the most elite mysterious force of the old empire. "They" are definitely more resistant to curses, which are also somewhat biased towards mystery. Except for the probabilistic failure of the surrounding attacks, I did not see my sister The curse is effectively in effect everywhere. It's no wonder that my sister, who is always gentle and indifferent, is so upset.
"嗤—" A howling sound caused by the rapid heating of the air erupted nearby, and at the same time the pressure of the shield around him rose sharply: two structures and their complex magic circles emerged in the air hundreds of meters away, from The two dazzling golden-red beams from the core of the magic circle are focusing on my shield, cutting the shield continuously.
"Nimma, it's this thing again!" I strengthened the resistance of the shield, but I didn't understand how to stop this powerful ray. I was attacked by this thing just now, and I tried to use my best The energy-induced explosion to destroy the two magic circles turned out to directly increase the output power of the latter several times. Could it be possible that this thing needs the power of the void to handle it? Their overload capacity is also a bit too high!
"This is prismatic focusing," Alaya was quickly drawing a dizzying three-dimensional array in the air, while taking the time to explain, "The mysterious side is very good at compressing a large amount of energy into a very small range for use Prismatic focusing is actually a large-scale energy storm like the main gun of a starship, which can fill any form of energy within the range into the array and release it. The actual size of the two arrays is at least half a kilometer, but with the help of a A kind of 'anti-mathematical change', the initiator can compress the prismatic focus relative to the real world, and turn it into such a small-scale ray—but its power is still at the level of a battleship's main gun."
"I'm going, I understand," Lin Xue almost jumped up, "Actually, relative to the entire universe, I changed my own scale—are all of you mysteriously using this kind of foul technique?! Keep the main gun of the battleship without shrinking compressed onto a human head? What are you planning to do with this thing?"
"It's used to destroy the abyss aggregates in seconds," Alaya replied honestly. "We often did this back then. Half of the people were responsible for creating energy storms as big as the planet, and the other half were responsible for changing the scale of them and pressing them down to the size of a fingernail. Then stuff it into the belly of the abyss aggregate."
I:"… "
Everyone: "..."
It is indeed a product of the Empire! (to be continued)RQ
