Chapter 1262： Behind the curtain (2/2)

"Could it be that they can see what we can't?"

On the edge of the deck of the Bitter Winter, two young dragons were still screaming restlessly. The two novice mothers and the accompanying dragon compatriots were trying to reassure these two little guys who were anxious for some reason. Melita turned her head and looked around. Noretta said, her eyes widened.

"Something we can't see?" Noretta was putting her hand on top of one of the whelps, while trying to make the obviously anxious little guy feel more secure, she slowly opened her eyes, "You are Say…"

"I guess—the dark blue scars didn’t just affect the color of their scales, do you remember? Speaker Andal and Ms. Enya both said that the scars might also affect their nervous system and affect their perception. …"

"Quah!" "Quah, quack!" The two young dragons yelled again one after another. They suddenly broke free of Noleta's hand and rushed into the air, hovering anxiously above the deck while looking backwards. In the direction of the Tower of Tide, the still immature roar was mixed with obvious anxiety and a certain...excitement.

Noretta reacted, she glanced at Merita, and the two raised their fingers at the two young dragons hovering in the night sky at the same time. The invisible magic force dragged the two young guys back to the deck, and the young dragons struggled subconsciously. Get up, but before that, Melita and Noretta had already put their hands on their heads.

"Hey, don't be afraid," Melita used one arm to control the extremely powerful young dragon's neck, and the other hand pressed the little guy's head. She leaned close to the latter's ear and whispered in a gentle voice. , "Did you see something terrible? Mom knows it, don't be afraid, relax... Let mom see what you see..."

The little guy calmed down a bit, and taking advantage of this moment of effort, Merita suddenly floated layers of blue rune circles on her hand, and her eyes also turned into dark golden vertical pupils while breathing. Under the curtain of night, these magic-filled eyes directly connected to the young dragon's vision, and then she controlled the young dragon in her arms and slowly turned her gaze to the direction of the tall tower.

A shocking... a huge crack that can even make the dragon feel trembling filled her vision!

The fissure is suspended in the sky, and the interior is filled with eye-catching blue light. Like a solidified lightning, it penetrates the clouds in the night and tilts towards the sea below. It penetrates the bottom of the tower of the reverse tide. Half of it, but the crack did not destroy the tower's body, but passed through the outer wall of the tower like a phantom, and passed over the island of steel—then the crack continued to extend towards the west coast of Tarrond. , Meandering all the way, crossing the sea with broken ice and fragmented coast, and sinking into the depths of the earth all the way.

It was like a wound, tearing through the sky and the earth-but apart from the two young dragons, no one could see all this before.

"Oh my God…"

Noretta’s exclamation sounded from the side, causing Melita to wake up suddenly, and as the magical connection between her and the young dragon was interrupted, the crack that ran across the sky and pierced the tower followed. It disappeared from the field of vision, as if it had never existed before.

Melita and Noreta looked at each other, and they saw the same consternation and...uneasy in each other's eyes.

In the next second, Melita suddenly got up and rushed to Byron, who was holding the communicator not far away: "Gavin! We may be in trouble!"

…

Gao Wen's face was gloomy. He looked up at the roof of the hall while listening to the contents of Melita's report. The thrilling crack was still floating in the sky, and the erosion and corruption around the crack was shocking.

When did the crack appear? When did the traces of pollution and corruption appear? When Modil Wilde came here six hundred years ago... were they there?

Gawain couldn't help but have such a chilling scene in his mind-an ignorant adventurer stepped into the tower, but he couldn't see the real scene in the tower. He explored, recorded, and studied in the hall. However, just above his head, the indescribable corruption is hidden deep in the invisible curtain, countless eyes watching him, countless mouthpieces whispering to him...

He suddenly realized what the words and sentences mentioned in Modil's speech confusion just now meant—though the great adventurer could not see the "truth" in this hall, some influences still directly interfered with him. His mind made him "remember" everything in his subconscious mind.

"What are we going to do now?" Amber's voice came from the side. The half-elf's face was full of nervousness. However, at such a critical time, she actually showed no signs of running away, just like a big enemy. Looking at the terrible scene above the hall, while waiting for Gawain's next instructions.

Gao Wen did not respond to Amber at the first time, but first took out a small magic metal amulet from his arms. In addition to the distinctive deep-sea rune inscribed on the amulet, another set of the core area can be seen. Precision Rune Array—It is roughly hexagonal, and the whole is covered by a transparent crystal-like substance. You can also see that there are finely divided crystals embedded in each node.

This is a "detection device" used to perceive divine power. It is the brainchild of the think tanks and technical monks of the Theological Council. Its principle is not complicated. Its core mechanism is actually a universal inverter array. If there is divine power, the inverter array will react, and its internal energy balance will shift, and the crystal structure of the device will also generate heat and flash signals.

At least in all the tests so far, this detection device can react sensitively to any known divine power. For this reason, it has become the "contact-level" and "confrontation-level" cadres of the Theocracy Council. Standard items in daily tasks.

Looking at the metal talisman in a silent state, Gao Wen's face sank.

At first, this amulet did not respond, he only thought that the "adversity" was too special, so he failed to trigger the amulet's alarm.

But now... he has a worse answer.

"The leak has already happened," Gao Wen slowly raised his head and glanced across the roof. "We are late. I don't know how many years are late."
