Chapter 1554: solo visit (2/2)
At first there was a low screeching sound, as if the wind was blowing through the towers of the castle at night, followed by a gentle but brilliant light like the last twilight in the twilight - the light from the city of a thousand towers. The center of the tower, sprinkled from the top of the tower called "Dark Palace", spanned the entire city of a thousand towers like a rainbow, across the shadowy, dark and inexplicable neighborhood, and connected all the way to the Earthly Dawn. on the edge of the deck.
And at the moment when this brilliance appeared, on the distant horizon, the giant sun also sank completely into the earth, the last sunset on the horizon faded, and the dark night began to descend on the world-this gives people a feeling, as if It was the light of the world that was suddenly condensed into a bridge between the City of a Thousand Pagodas and the Dawn of the Earth, and beyond the only beam of light between the heavens and the earth, everything was sinking into the night.
Afterwards, the light beam condensed into a long bridge emitting dim yellow light. In front of the bridge, Gawain slowly restrained the relaxed smile on his face. He stared at the "invitation" with a solemn expression, while Amber Quietly moved two steps, came to his side and looked cautiously at the end of the long bridge, while not far from them, Modier just quietly looked at the glimmer of light in front of him, his expression faintly revealed in calmness Eager to try.
Victoria looked at the great adventurer in front of her. After a moment of silence, she finally couldn't help but say, "...Ancestor..."
"An adventure is in front of me." Modier turned his head suddenly, looked at Victoria and said, with some strange feeling in his heart, he vaguely remembered who he had said these words to, and possibly many people. , he vaguely remembered saying goodbye to his family in this way, on an afternoon long, long ago, and there seemed to be faces in his chaotic memory that ultimately failed to overlap with Victoria— Those memories from centuries ago were finally completely dissipated in his mind. Standing in front of him was only this descendant who usually always had a cold face, and they didn't get along for a long time.
Yes, it didn't take long, it was far from enough to brew any kind of mellow family affection, but there were still some inexplicable apologies in his heart. Someone said: "I'm going on a journey...sorry Victoria, I seem to be leaving my family again..."
"You don't have to apologize, you're just walking your own way," Victoria seemed to laugh, her voice soft, "I just wanted to make sure, are you having a good time these days?"
"Ah, of course, very comfortable," Modir's mouth was raised, and even his beard was rising, "this is probably the most comfortable day I have had in centuries... Although I don't know how long I can remember these days. , but I think I'll remember it for a long, long time."
"That's good," Victoria nodded lightly, then took a half step back, "Then wish you a smooth trip."
Modir smiled happily. After centuries, he finally embarked on a journey again with the blessing and farewell of his family. He waved his hand, turned and walked towards the long bridge emitting a shimmering light. Gawain and Amber Then they walked with him—their figures gradually disappeared in a hazy brilliance.
It feels amazing to walk on the bridge.
Gawain could feel that he was stepping on a solid surface. Although the surface was condensed from light, he had no fear of falling and falling. He could feel the airflow blowing past him. People have a fear that they will be blown into the abyss at any time, but his heart is still calm - reason tells him that the scene in front of him and the environment around him are all elements that can make people terrified and nervous, but an inexplicable sense of security is not. Driving his footsteps, making his every step without hesitation.
He walked forward like this, the upside-down city of a thousand towers gradually enlarged in his field of vision, and he heard the voice of Amber and Modier talking from the side: "Father, aren't you afraid? We were there before. After analysis, once you enter the Shadow Kingdom and come into contact with your 'other half', you may..."
"There's no hesitation," Modir's voice said with a smile, "there's a voice that keeps urging me, urging me to keep going - I've been stuck in this adventure for far too long, and only the last part is left. The road isn't over yet, I'm going to finish it to witness something I've never seen before. For a man who's been living in the dark for centuries, it's more important to walk the road from beginning to end than to continue to live in the dark already."
"Ah, those of you who have read a lot of books just speak differently, and so does Mr. Godwin from the Imperial Capital. He speaks in a succinct manner—but I understand the reasoning quite well, and you can see it well."
Modir smiled without saying a word, while Gawain continued to look at the huge upside-down tower in front of him—he was curious how he would walk into that upside-down place. One hundred and eighty degrees, this wonderful scene looks spectacular, but if you step into it in person, walking from one city to another, you can't help but have some weird doubts.
With such doubts, he continued to move forward.
Then, the upside-down city in his field of vision came "right".
He's completely unaware of how this process happened, or even when it happened - he's unaware of the existence of that "boundary", it's as if the city was well-positioned to begin with In the distance, and he was nothing more than a visitor to the city through an ordinary avenue.
He lowered his head and saw that what he was stepping on was not a twilight shimmer, but a solid and simple stone road. Some fine gray-white sand and dust were scattered on the side of the road. Under the breeze, light dust floated above the dust.
He turned his head and saw the row upon row of houses and towers stretched out in his field of vision, but he could not see the Dawn of the Earth, nor the sky he had seen when he came—a chaotic, opaque gray-white covering the city. , the nameless sky light came from nowhere, and neither clouds nor any stars could be seen in the light of that day.
He looked around and couldn't see Modir or Amber.
He arrived alone in the city of a thousand towers.
