Chapter 1261： In the cracks of light and shadow

Love to go, update the latest chapter of the sword of dawn as soon as possible!

After realizing that the architectural structure near the base of the Tower of Inverse Tide and the scene in the “sand illusion” that was presented in the original scene of "sand illusion", the scene when Modil met with the "Twin Elves" many years ago belonged to the same style, Gao Wen I realized that the gains brought about by this trip to the "Tower of Upsurge" are very likely to exceed expectations.

Those fragmented old clues are emerging and reorganizing in his mind. Although the obscure connections between the clues are still in the mist, he seems to have felt the mutual attraction between these clues at this moment. The overall appearance of them is still ambiguous, but In general, a huge puzzle is gradually emerging from the fog.

And the tower in front of me, which has been standing since ancient times, will undoubtedly be the biggest fulcrum of this “puzzle”.

Gawain took a breath, calmed down some turbulent mood, and at the same time increased his alertness. Holding the trailblazer's sword in his hand, he maintained the maximum external perception, and he took the first step toward the faint path under the tower pedestal. About walking towards the open alloy door, behind him, Modil and Kohaku, who were also fully guarded, followed closely behind him.

They arrived at the end of this "highway", and an amazing door stood here.

It is even larger and magnificent than the tallest gate of Saint-Sunil. The door is made of an unknown metal and looks solemn and heavy. The whole door presents a very textured silver-gray luster, and the surface of the door is smooth. Mirror, and under the extremely smooth surface, you can vaguely see a straight line from top to bottom. This door is embedded in a high wall like a cliff, and there is a middle opening that can accommodate several people side by side. Judging from the structure, the passed "gap" should be able to slide into the wall on both sides under the action of some mechanical device.

Amber stood in front of the gate in a daze, looking up at its high top, the whole goose was in a state of being shocked, and it took a long time for her to arouse the spirit to recover. Some kind of shocked and curious eyes looked at Gao Wen: "I just wanted to ask, why do you say that the door of this ancient ruin is always open? Did you forget to close the door when the sailor left?"

Gao Wen couldn't help but look at the shame of this alliance. He said that this product is indeed a professional skill and professionalism. She was shocked to be like this. The first concern in her mind was that the door was not locked...This Thanks to the fact that the Tower of Inverse Tide does not have a window, otherwise she would have already turned the window to enter by this time, right?

"It was opened by the Dragon clan," Gawain still shook his head to explain the information he had obtained. "After the sailor left, the Dragon clan opened the entrance of the tower by some means, and they got a message from here. A small part of it originated from the knowledge of the sailors... and this also laid the roots for the later'adversarial chaos'."

As he spoke, he had already stepped forward, and before he was about to pass through the "gap" into the tower, his gaze couldn't help but once again fell on the towering door, the barrier that has experienced millions of years of wind and frost. It is still extremely strong to this day, and on the smooth surface of the alloy, the stars in the distance are faintly reflected, as well as the distant deep space where the sailor can never go back.

Gawain subconsciously stretched out his hand to gently caress the door, he seemed to perceive the distant past years through this cold contact, as well as the stories that once happened here and around this high tower.

A faint stream of light suddenly flowed from the position where his palm touched the door, and quickly flowed upwards along the edge of the door. A buzzing sound from nowhere suddenly reached the ears of everyone on the scene, the sound seemed to be It activated a system that had been silent for many years. In the next second, the surface of the door that had been quiet and silent suddenly glowed. Streams of light moved quickly along the lines buried in the door, and a large number of flashing light spots were abrupt. The earth appeared in front of Gao Wen and the others, and these light spots flashed and combined rapidly on the surface of the door, gradually showing clear patterns and text!

Amber was instantly taken aback by the accident. The whole person flashed back and forth between the shadow form and the material form like a bad contact for several times before stabilizing, while still yelling: "Hey...hey, this thing is bright. Oh! Why does it light up after you touch it!"

Gao Wen did not expect this sudden change, but he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart, and while keeping calm, he held Amber’s head with his hand: "Don’t be so surprised when you explore the ruins. See those street lights suddenly turn on?"

While talking, his gaze fell on the image that was emerging on the surface of the gate. Those characters and images had gradually stabilized, and began to refresh line by line, just like the characters on the street signs just now. When Gao Wen looked at this "display screen", the meaning of these ancient sailor words also surfaced in his mind.

"The facility is offline and the access rights have been frozen;

"The authorized port of Cangqiang station has been detected, and the access is being re-authorized...Access permission has been turned on.

"Serious system warning, shutdown of the factory area, unknown reasons for the shutdown... The core database is missing or locked... The cumulative error log has overflowed, and the production management center is offline.

"The auxiliary system is available, the gate has been authorized, and the facility structure is being re-uploaded..."

The text on the embedded gate display screen refreshed quickly. Lines of characters slid across in front of Gawain. He opened his eyes and stared at the scene, taking all the changes into his eyes. At the next moment, he suddenly felt something deeper. His "connection" points to the orbiting space station far away in space, and is forwarded to his memory through the authorization agreement between the satellite and the space station. The whole process lasts only three to five seconds, and Gao Wen slowly moves away. He blinked while looking at the direction inside the tower.

In the next second, the architectural structure behind this gate appeared in his mind like a translucent holographic image, which marked all the authorized gates and roads.

He heard a series of noises coming from the tower. It was the collision and friction sound of the heavy and ancient mechanical structure when it was running. Amber also heard the movement. First she showed a nervous look on her face, as if she was afraid Suddenly something rushed out of the tower, and she instantly dropped herself, but soon she noticed the calm and indifferent expression on Gawain’s face, and calmed down, while the old mage Modil on the other side was astonished. It took a moment to react, and he stared at Gawain with wide-eyed eyes: "This...this is you..."

"Yes," Gao Wen looked at the old mage, smiled and nodded, "Some inconspicuous little tricks."

After saying this, he walked towards the tower.

Gawain is not at all worried about what Amber or Modil will think, let alone the so-called "exposing of his own special features". One is of course out of trust in them, and the other is that he knows that he is now very clear. His position and what he is doing have priorities, and people have responsibilities. He is not a cautious "traveling cuteness" in this world, but a person who has been hanging in the sky for millions of years and lying in a coffin. For more than 700 years, now he is ruling an empire and leading a national alliance. Among all the things he faces and all the people he comes into contact with in his daily life, the "little secrets of satellite spirits" are almost the most meaningless. no big deal.

Anyway, the identity of "extraterritorial wanderer" has been used many times.

In the high tower, the lights are bright.

As recorded in Modil’s travel notes, part of the system in this tower is always operating. Even when Gawain and his party have not arrived, the lights here have never been extinguished.

A low buzzing sound kept coming from all directions, some invisible systems were still running deep in those ancient floors, walls or domes, and not long after passing through the gate and the short corridor behind the gate, Gao Wen and his party arrived at an unusually wide cylindrical hall.

As recorded in Modier’s travel notes, this hall is extremely empty, and in the center of the hall there is an astonishingly large-scale conveying system. It looks like a large-scale elevator with a complicated structure, which is fast on the ground in some kind of pipe or guide rail. Moving down, conveying materials that do not know what to do, and around the hall, you can see many dazzling, unnamed ancient devices. Some of those devices are still in operation, showing complex instruments. Holographic projections of data floated above them, and various buzzing or dripping noises sounded from those devices.

If you don’t see it with your own eyes, who can imagine that, out of the sight of mortal civilization, on the surface of this planet, there is such an extremely advanced ancient facility that has been in silent operation for nearly two million years? !

Gawain felt his heart beating, his gaze swept over the devices that were still operating silently, and whenever his gaze stayed, some information would appear in his mind

This is the logistics distribution system. This is the central energy monitoring system. This is the entrance for maintenance personnel of the facility. There are communication stations and data interfaces above. The underground infrastructure has been deep into the sea, deep into the seabed, and even penetrated the mantle and immersed in In the scorching magma...

The red warning signs that represent system downtime or error log overflow are constantly popping out in his "view", covering almost all the devices he can see. Only those things with lighter load or simpler functions are barely maintained. At least there is no scalp-numbing error in a good running state.

Just like those satellites and space stations in space, the situation in this production facility is not optimistic.

It’s been overdue for too long, too long... it’s already time for it to be scrapped.

At this moment, Amber’s voice came from the side, interrupting Gawain’s thoughts: "So...what about the'things' in this tower? We have already entered and saw a truly spectacular ancient facility. But I don’t feel any mental pollution entrenched in it..."

Gawain reacted instantly. He frowned and looked around, and whispered thoughtfully, "'That thing' may be intangible and intangible. We may not be able to see anything here..."

In the ancient times, the mortals of the reverse tide empire collectively worshiped the top of the sailing tower near the North Pole, and developed beliefs. Their firm collective thoughts gave birth to a "god" in this tower, but apart from their own Besides, no one knows what the characteristics of this **** born in the tower are. According to Enya, the "god" who died early at the beginning of his birth may not even have a body. He is most likely just a hollow. The echo, a vague shadow, and even a strong thinking tendency entangled in this tall tower in an invisible and intangible posture, coexisting with the steel, light and shadow here.

But even so, Gawain gradually frowned.

Even if the thing is invisible...The current appearance in this tower is too "normal and quiet".

He subconsciously looked at Modil beside him: "Did you feel anything? Or remember..."

Halfway through his words, he stopped, because he found that the old mage was looking up at some point, staring straight at the extremely high and spectacular alloy dome of the hall as if he was strongly attracted by something. Wen felt something was wrong.

At this moment, Modil finally blinked, the old mage’s lips trembling, as if struggling to wake up from a weird dream, he made a series of short and ambiguous syllables. After repeating this several times, his voice Finally squeezed out from his throat: "No...it's not right... no longer, no longer... no longer here! It should be here, it should be here!"

"Master, calm down," Humber was immediately taken aback by the weird reaction of the old mage, and hurriedly tried to wake Modil from the weird mental state. "What's gone? What did you say should be there." Here?"

"That's the thing!" Modil awakened suddenly, he took a breath of cold air suddenly, and pointed his finger at the towering dome of the hall, but even if his eyes were clear, his words were still upside-down, "I remember there should be something there. Something, very, very big...something that words cannot describe. It used to stare at me with countless pairs of eyes and talk to me with countless mouthpieces. It is gone, it is gone! And can't you see it? There are some traces! "

The old mage said anxiously, Gawain's heart suddenly tightened, and he lifted his head in the direction of Modir's fingers. He stared at the position of the opponent's fingers, but he could only see the staggered supporting structure and the fast moving. Transportation system that moves up and down.

But a strong intuition came up deep in his heart. Gawain always felt as if he had missed something. He stared at the heights, his gaze swept over and over and over the clear structures of the heights of the hall. Suddenly, his mind The structure diagram of the high tower in the middle appeared again, and in the corner of his sight, at a certain position of the dome of the hall, a piece of silver-gray wall seemed to "jitter" for a moment.

It is as if the two overlapping images are temporarily misaligned, as if the rendering layer that was originally covered has accidentally been mapped incorrectly.

Gawain did not ignore this short visual signal.

And as he noticed these abnormalities, the large walls and supporting structures above the dome of the hall suddenly flickered in his eyes. Amidst the flickering of light and shadow, some vague shadow structures seemed to be emerging from the air, and the misplaced lines were faint. Presents a huge structure like a crack!

Gawain was shocked for an instant, and the lightning-like inspiration burst in his mind. In less than half a second, he realized a certain possibility.

He suddenly turned to Amber who seemed to have not reacted to the side: "Amber! Here is the ‘truth’ that we can’t see, hidden in the cracks of the real world!"
