Chapter 1252： Dark ripples (1/2)
Perhaps due to the large-scale magical fluctuations in the activities affecting the atmosphere, the wind inside the magnificent wall seems to never stop. These turbulent winds flow arbitrarily on the weathered and corroded land regardless of seasons. Rolling up polluted sand and dust, rolling up fragments of past civilizations, encumbering them to wander around this dead land day after day, and in these never-ending winds, the Gondor wasteland is in several places. Almost nothing new happened in the century.
But now the situation has changed-the plan that has been brewing for several centuries has finally begun to be implemented, such as the gears of fate biting and turning, and a long-staying machine is quietly starting to operate out of the sight of human civilization.
It is gradually pushing this world into a destined future, but those mortals who are mediocre outside the magnificent wall do not even know the existence of this machine.
"Just like the **** of fate said---fate has begun to move forward," Ferna stared at the deformed giants who were busy around the ruins of the giant building, and whispered in a vague tone, "from here on, a small change , And then a series of small changes, and what is finally turned is the future of the entire planet... it is indescribable."
"Fate is indeed wonderful, but the so-called God of Destiny is just a sad existence who has persisted in front of the fleet for less than a few hours," Lerna said immediately, "Ah, as sad as all the creatures on this planet. "
A smile appeared on Ferna's face: "But now their sad life is finally about to produce value...my sister."
Lerna did not speak, but turned to the stairs next to the high platform. She saw a bunch of dry and twisted vines spreading from there, and then the front of the vines quickly merged in a strange and terrifying form and transformed into an old face. , Grand Master Borken's face appeared in front of the Gemini, and the yellow-brown eyes passed over them and directed at the deformed "laborers" excavated in the ruins.
"They've been digging here for two full days, are you sure they are in this place?" The strange face made of vines looked towards that side for a few seconds, then raised slightly, revealing a suspicious look, "Or say..."
"You have become more impatient recently, Grand Master," Ferna shook her head, and Lena next to her immediately followed, "Of course we are sure that it is in this place-the other is in the monitoring range of the Deep Blue Well. External network nodes that meet our requirements."
Borken was silent for two seconds, with a cautious tone: "...I can indeed feel the faint fluctuations of magic power in this area, as well as the flow of magic power remaining in the depths of the earth, but it is still far from the scale you described. ."
"Long time can change a lot of things. It's not a simple matter to rejuvenate those dusty old things," Lena said casually, and Ferna looked back and saw that it had been cleared. Most of the ruins of the collapsed structure, "This was once the largest'node city' in the northwestern region of the Gondor Empire. The magic power from the Deep Blue Well will be distributed here for the second time and supplied to countless towns and villages nearby. You The building I saw was the former magic control agency. When it was brilliant, thousands of magisters and apprentices were watching over here day and night...
"And this is the sadness and irony-they only know that this is a convenient magic focus. The energy from the Deep Blue Well can be easily controlled and converted here, but they have not been able to find this magic focus from start to finish. The deep connection with the Deep Blue Network...Even on the eve of their demise, they vaguely noticed the huge'planetary power system' behind the Deep Blue Well... They missed the opportunity to make civilization leap further, but they even missed anything. I don’t know, but I am complacent about my own crude development of civilization."
Lena turned her head, her gaze scanned the remains of the ancient city that had been shattered in time, the tall buildings and palace temples of the past, with a sneered expression on her face, her tone of contempt, and that contempt was even close to it. Yu Anger: "There is only a piece of paper separated from the truth, and only a small step away from success. They struggled for a lifetime, and then fell down at the last moment before reaching the end... always like this, and the cycle goes back and forth."
"Weak and incompetent," Ferna said lightly, "sad and sigh."
The vines moved slowly on the platform, and the sound of plants rubbing against cement was harsh and harsh. Borken’s yellow-brown pupils stared at the Gemini in front of him, and laughed hoarsely: “Ha, it’s really rare to be sweet from your hypocrisy. Hearing this kind of pungent and direct language in your lips and tongue is worthy of being an elf who has lived for a long time and witnessed the disobedience of the plan. Your evaluation of the world is a novel perspective... But I am curious, you say so much, just want to tell Am I going to fail the moment I succeed?"
"You?" Leerna glanced at the vine face in front of her, her mouth curled up, "Of course not, my grandmaster, how could your plan fail? That's not just your plan anymore... "
Borken snorted coldly, but did not care about the yin and yang weird way of speaking of the elven twins as usual-his body is actually still staying in the distant valley headquarters at the moment, dealing with all kinds of important affairs, this place is nothing but It was the "line of sight" he projected with the underground root network that extends in all directions to monitor the progress of the project at this node. Before obtaining substantial results here, he had no extra experience of entanglement with two elf sisters who had never spoken anything.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the direction of the excavation site, attracting Borken's attention, and also attracted the attention of the elven twins on the platform.
They saw that the deformed giants successfully dismantled the last part of the dome fragment covering the ruins, and activated an ancient mechanism somewhere under the ruins according to the order. The seven-hundred-year-old ruins actually came from the depths of the ruins. There was a low sound, accompanied by a slight tremor of the earth, a little blue light diffused from the surface cracks near the ruins of the building, which strongly stimulated all the sights on the scene.
"...It's so beautiful," Ferna stared at the brightening brilliance, and a smile slowly appeared on her face, "Did you see it? Grand Master, this is the brilliance of pure magic...it's already here. Seven hundred years have been sleeping underneath."
Borken's eyes were staring at the light that was flowing out of the cracks in the ground. He suddenly reacted, and loudly reminded the twin elves who were still loitering: "What are you still doing?! This focus is losing control! Damn, the maintenance equipment here has burned down a long time ago, and the cracks you opened will melt this place-the ensuing big explosion can attract the entire iron man corps! Do something to stop this!"
"Calm down, Honorable Grand Master, we understand the Deep Blue Network, the energy balance collapses not so fast-on the contrary, yelling will affect your bearing and image." Lena laughed. , While talking unhurriedly and walking towards the edge of the platform with Ferna, they walked step by step towards the ruins that were already covered with blue crevices as if stepping on solid steps, and the deformed giants who were responsible for digging the ruins Still staying in place, without further orders, they ignored the flames flowing from the cracks in the ground, and stood still in place as if not even aware of the danger in this huge energy.
A beautiful stream of blue light finally flowed to the feet of the nearest deformed body. In the silent burning, the hideous and ugly giant quickly turned into a bright torch, and it turned into a bright torch in just ten seconds. A piece of floating dust.
