Chapter 1348： Initial shock (1/2)

everything is over.

Philip stood in a secret bunker room under the base of the advancement base. His eyes fell on the platform in the center of the room for a long time. The center of the platform was sunken, and its edges were engraved with many complex and sophisticated runes. At this moment, the rune array was gradually extinguishing. , A large number of nerve cords like roots and vines are slowly receding from the platform, returning to the holes at the edge of the room, and in the recessed area in the center of the platform, there is only one group that has completely lost its shape. Biomass remains, and a little thin liquid.

In the past few hours, the remains of biomass have been constantly undergoing extremely fierce alienation and transformation, showing all kinds of terrifying forms, even those who fought on the battlefield like Philip recalled what they had seen before. When the scene arrives, he still can't help his scalp numb, but in any case, this terrible process has finally ended at this moment. No matter what kind of soul was trapped in this group of flesh and blood, his affiliation with this world has been wiped out.

The rustle of plant roots squirming suddenly came from not far away. Philip followed the sound and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a group of bright green vines coming in from a hole in the corner of the room. In the process of squirming, it quickly changed into a human-like silhouette, and finally became the avatar of Bertila. This avatar nodded slightly to Philip, and then set his eyes on the center of the platform.

"It's all over," a slightly hoarse female voice sounded in this underground room. "Bertlem and his followers have left this world. I have unearthed a lot of useful information from their memories. ."

"Fortunately, in terms of intelligence, we have been at a disadvantage for a long time, and now we are finally making progress," Philip nodded slightly, and then hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but continue, "You seem to be very worried, Ms. Bertila."

"...I just remembered too many things in the past," Bertila was silent for a moment, and said with a trace of emotion, "Bertlaim was once a respectable scholar, and his followers...those who are now our Half of the people called'Dark Priests' were the close comrades of Brother Gao Wen, priests and spiritual leaders in the Northern Frontier Army. Before rushing into the wasteland, all of us made a solemn oath... It was a very special time, a very special period. We all seemed to have aspirations and were generous..."

"I heard your Majesty mention this," Philip said with a slight nod. "Not only the Society of the End of All Things, but also the Order of the Eternal Sleeper and the Son of the Storm, which had fallen into darkness seven hundred years ago. A glorious history, but no matter how glorious the history is, it is an indisputable fact that they will eventually fall into the dark. A passion may not be exchanged for glory. The farther they go on the wrong path, the more they deviate from justice."

"...The route is wrong, I understand," Bertila seemed to smile wryly, but the stiff face of the incarnation made her expression change almost imperceptible. "Just like Brother Gao Wen said, there is no correct concept to guide and A set of scientific and reasonable methods and tools, it is difficult to truly realize the original intention by acting only with blood and heroism, and even often makes things go against the original goal... For a long time, in fact, I have only a little understanding of these words. , But seeing Bertram look like now, I think I have understood what he meant... It's a pity that none of us have a second choice."

"But at least we can correct this mistake," Philip said with a serious expression. "There are many dark priests like Bertlem. We have to stop them before they cause disaster."

"Yes... we have to stop them," Bertila repeated Philip's words softly, "otherwise it would really be a catastrophe... a catastrophe that no one can escape..."

…

In the deep encryption space of the neural network, a dim light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then the boundless white flowers quickly covered the entire land in the dim light. As the dim light gradually changed into a brilliant sky light, the first few days of this In seconds, there is only a sea of ​​white flowers in the void space, and in the center of the white flowers and fine grass swaying in the wind, round tables and high chairs with lavender patterns appear one by one, and one figure after another also appears on the round table. around.

This includes Gawain, Veronica, and Hetty, as well as Bertila who created this space, as well as Carmel who is at the site of the "Gate" project and Milmi who is experimenting on the border of the wasteland. Na, Amone, who returned from the south not long ago, and even Enya mortals who rarely appeared in the spiritual network recently used their true faces, and the gods used "network images" similar to humans. These The figures gathered around the round table, and a vital meeting was about to begin.

Gao Wen looked up at the figures sitting around the round table, his eyes finally fell on Bertila and nodded slightly, then he coughed slightly to break the silence: "Ah, good, everyone is here, first of all. Thank you all for coming.

"As you can see, here is a new security space in the neural network. It is constructed by Bertila using the nodes of the Thorin giant tree, and the periphery is carried out by the three-layer security protocol woven by Naritil and Duvalt. The main network is isolated. At the same time, in the real world, we have also set up anti-divine barriers for all the connection endpoints of the Thorin Giant Tree. Its protection level exceeds the previous origin laboratory. Here we can discuss the highest security authority and hazard level. Questions, the gods present can also speak freely."

"Oh! You guys finally got this thing out," Enya, with her long blonde hair hanging down like a waterfall and wearing a white dress, showed a faint smile. She looked at the people present with a thoughtful expression on her face. Looks, "It seems that what can be discussed here is nothing ordinary... Gao Wen, what do you want to talk about when you gather us together?"

"Bertila and Milmina joined forces to capture an entire group of dark priests operating on the northern battlefield, including a high-ranking priest of the patriarch level," Gawain said straightforwardly. "Now we have A batch of key information directly points to the final conspiracy of the Sentinels and the Dark Master Borken, and some of the information points to the Demon Tide and the Divine Disaster. I think you should all listen to it."

As soon as his words fell, everyone on the scene immediately showed attention and solemnity. Even Enya, who has experienced 1.8 million years and was once the **** of dragon gods, instantly became serious and her eyes Falling on Milmina and Bertila: "What is the specific situation? The sentinel's plan is actually related to the Divine Disaster and the Demon Tide?"

"Let me speak," Bertila stood up. In fact, she was also a little nervous at this moment. After all, this was the first time she spoke with these "theocratic council special advisers", even if she was the old one. The dark patriarch and the current "Master Thorin" are also inevitable psychological pressure, but fortunately the nerves of the vegetative are tough, and the expression on her face is still very calm. "I learned from the memories of Bertram and his followers. The information was unearthed in it, first of all about the function of those rune stones..."
