Chapter 1263: Remnants of history (1/2)
Those traces of corruption and pollution cannot be formed overnight. They are most likely to be the “nursery” when the “adversity” born in this tower was first conceived, or the traces left after the “adversity” activities. According to the information provided by Talrond, the appearance of those traces is very likely to be traced back to the ancient times, as far back as a million years ago, on the eve of the destruction of the anti-tide empire by the giant dragon.
But when did that crack appear?
Gao Wen didn’t know, maybe everyone didn’t know, that fissure clearly showed a state of "non-interference" with the entire hall, penetrating the material world like a phantom, penetrating steel and air across, and Gao Wen was completely unable to Judging from the surrounding traces how long the fissure has been maintained here, it may have existed here even before the tower was built, or it may not have been quietly formed until an hour ago... As a crack that cannot be observed by conventional means, After it appears, there will be no "phantom" that interacts with the surrounding material environment. It can appear anytime.
But Gawain had an instinctive guess. He thought that the thing should have been in the hall for many years, and... it became a breach of escape.
There is no divine reaction in the tower, and no trace of spiritual pollution has been found until now. This is a disturbing signal in itself.
You know, Modil was contaminated by the tide after entering this hall moments ago, and he began to immerse himself in the cult of ancient knowledge and worship, if it weren’t for the Dragon God’s “interference” outside the tower. "Protection", he probably won't wake up until he is completely transformed into an adversarial believer.
However, they have been exploring this hall for so long, and there is still no sign of mental pollution. Of course, Gawain and Amber have special physiques, and Modil carries protective runes with them. They are indeed not easily polluted, but The current situation is that even the highly sensitive protective devices have not issued any alarms.
"Merita said that she saw a huge rift outside...Although she did not have your shadow and dust, she shared the vision of the Whelpling," Gawain said casually, "The Whelpling born under the influence of the Deep Blue Netway It is quite reasonable to be able to see the "dark blue rifts" that ordinary people can't see. The key now is how these rifts come from."
His gaze did not continue to stare at the floating fissures and blue light flow above the hall, but at a certain alloy gate on the side of the hall. After a short period of thought, he stepped towards that side: "We should go to the upper floor to take a look. ."
In the "structural drawing" that emerged in his mind, the structure behind the gate was marked as "personnel lift", and in the middle of the surrounding piles of equipment with red warning boxes of "system failure" flashing, the passage The device line of is extremely rarely marked in green.
Seeing Gawain's behavior that seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding environment, Amber and Modil did not show any doubts. They just followed immediately and came to the silver-white alloy gate.
After a brief understanding of the operating instructions of this thing, Gao Wen raised his hand and pressed it on the wall next to the gate. A series of irregular colored spots appeared on the originally blank wall, which was ancient and silent. The system was reactivated. In a series of unstable and smooth startup processes, the light spots gradually formed images. A few simple buttons and characters flashed in front of Gawain like poorly contacted lights, and finally stabilized.
Gawain operated the panel for a few times, and he heard a "ding" sound in his ears, and the locked alloy gate slid open silently to the sides, revealing the spacious elevator car inside.
A group of three people stepped into the car, and the alloy gate closed. Accompanied by a slight vibration from underfoot, an abrupt mechanical synthesis sound suddenly rang when the car started to rise. It was a series of weird and short sounds. Nowadays, in a language that no one in the world can understand, Amber and Modilton were startled by this sudden sound, but in Gawain’s mind, this voice was directly converted into a message he could understand: "The elevator goes up. ."
"Don't worry, that's all about the lifter's prompt." Gawain casually comforted Amber, who was a little frizzy, and nodded gently to the serious old mage next to him.
As soon as his voice fell, a clear image suddenly appeared on the wall opposite the elevator car. The image showed an endless and wide plain, which was filled with a large number of silver-white domes and tall buildings, which looked extremely advanced and prosperous. The city is inlaid on the plain like huge jewels, and at the end of the plain are the rising celestial bodies with halo planets, luminous spheres like moons, and distant and unfamiliar galaxies.
Amber and Modilton were taken aback again, but this time they have somewhat adapted to the strange ancient installations in this high tower. They quickly realized that this should be something very normal. The interface used to transmit and record information, so I calmed down when I was a little surprised, but looked at the scenery presented on the screen with a serious and curious gaze.
At this moment, the picture began to change again, beginning to show cities with different styles, pieces of spectacular or magnificent or mysterious alien scenes, sky with different scenery, strange and vast sea of stars, standing on the ground. Some kind of launching device, a vehicle passing through the sky and the earth...
On some screens, Gao Wen also saw words that seemed to be propaganda slogans. They were constantly refreshing, depicting the route to the depths of the stars or the engineering projects developed by some alien stars. In this constant refreshing, a scene The picture suddenly appeared in front of him, causing his pupils to shrink instantly
He saw a planet with a blue sea and yellow-green land quietly suspended in the dark and deep space background. Above the planet's equator, there were an astonishing and unfinished ring-shaped giant structure. The unfinished parts of the giant structure seemed to be countless. The rugged skeleton extending in the starry sky, and between those skeletons, you can see countless light spots shuttled back and forth. A large number of space machinery is transporting materials for this giant structure or installing new structures for it.
Gao Wen looked towards the bottom of the screen and saw the supporting promotional text
"The next period of expedition will set sail from now on. May this suffering planet be healed in the years. May the "sky" and the "sentinel" witness the next dawn of this planet."
Gawain stared at the scene on the screen in front of him, stared at the giant space structure of the unfinished Sky Station on the screen, and the line of text at the bottom of the screen, staring at the most critical part of the text. The two words "sky" and "sentinel"!
At this moment, the picture in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a slight vibration came from under his feet, and the synthetic sound of the elevator system passed into his ears, interrupting the turbulent waves of thoughts in his mind: "Arrival...2 Floor, the elevator door opens."
The door of the elevator car slid open on both sides, and Amber noticed the strangeness in Gawain's face, and couldn't help asking with some concern: "Hey, what's the matter with you? Did you see something just now?"
Gao Wen calmed down, turning around and walking towards the exit of the car, and said in a very serious tone: "The'sentinel' was mentioned in those pictures just now!"
He did not conceal his discovery, not only did he not think of concealing it, and he was ready to go back and inform the Theocracy Council of all his discoveries here, and inform all the heads of the member states of the Council that this thing involves the whole world. In safety, there is no benefit in hiding it.
