Chapter 1238 A warning
It was a thick and thick book with a pitch-black cover. The cover was made of unknown materials, smooth as a mirror, and there were twinkling lights inside it from time to time. The trajectory of starlight made Amber unable to help but think of the busy people on the streets of the imperial capital. In addition, there was no text or symbol on the cover of this big book, neither the title nor the author.
It just lay quietly on the top of the stone pillar. The cover of the starlight wandering seemed to closely guard the contents of the book. The stone pillar itself reminds people of reading stations in churches or libraries... Perhaps, is it really this function?
Amber couldn't help but look back at the huge throne. Compared with the mountain-like throne, the small stone pillar in front of him and the big black-skinned book on the pillar can be described as small as sand... If this is Ms. Ye's reading platform, then He would definitely feel quite uncomfortable when using this thing...
Amber couldn't help but feel untuned associations in her head, but her attention soon returned to the big black book. She heard the old and gentle voice coming from the book again, with a smile in her voice: "Yes, I do seem to be a book, although I feel like I was once a human...human, is it amazing?"
"Have you always been like this?" Amber asked the question carefully. Although she was roughly sure about this weird place and what happened to this weird "big book", every word she said had to be thoughtful about under the uncertain situation, "How long have you been in this place?"
"It's always...it's an interesting question, because I don't know why I became like this and when I came here," said the voice from the big book with a smile. "I've been here for a long time, but here, the passage of time is very unobtrusive, and I'm not sure how long I've been here...how did I become a book?"
The sound from the book seemed a little confused. He seemed to have recalled it, but finally sighed regretfully: "I have no impression at all."
Then he paused for a moment and spoke with a little curiosity: "But you, little girl, how did you come here? You don't look nervous or panicked at all... you don't look like an ordinary person who accidentally entered the unknown place."
"I...I'm in a special situation," Amber responded to the question of the "Great Adventurer Wilder" while pondering. "I came from the Shadow World and know a little more...are this place."
"Oh... Shadow World..." The voice in the book seemed a little blurry for a moment, as if the thoughts of the great adventurer were disturbed by some hazy memories that suddenly appeared. "I know that some strange things will always happen in the Shadow World... But to be honest, I never knew that there would be creatures like you that look like ordinary people, or... half-elves in the Shadow World?"
This topic will continue endlessly. Amber immediately took advantage of the temporary pause of the voice in the book and took the initiative of the topic back to himself: "Old sir, do you know where this is?"
"Here? Oh, this is Ms. Ye's kingdom of gods," the voice in the book replied immediately, and said calmly in a straightforward manner that Amber had unexpectedly expected, "at least it was."
Amber opened his eyes slightly in an instant. Although she knew from the previous information that this boundless gray-white desert might be Ms. Ye's kingdom of gods, the impact of hearing this fact was still different. Then she noticed another word used by "Wilder" and couldn't help but repeat it, "Once was it? What does this mean?"
"Ms. Ye has left His throne, and has been away for many years... the Kingdom of God is no longer the Kingdom of God," the voice in the book said slowly, with a tone of sighing. "He calls this a misplaced and forgotten world... I don't quite understand His perspective on things, but this statement is very consistent with the facts, but it sounds a bit divine."
"Where is Ms. Ye going now?" Amber asked immediately, and then looked back at the majestic throne. The throne was still empty, and the master of this kingdom of God showed no sign of appearance. "Isn't He usually in the kingdom of God?"
"Oh, Ms. Ye is not here now," Wilder's voice answered immediately, with a hint of confusion, "But most of the time He will sit on that throne...I don't know where He went. I am just a passerby who temporarily lives here, but I am not qualified to control the whereabouts of the hostess here. But I guess she is going to the 'border' to deal with the troubles there... There is an uninvited guest who always makes trouble there, and dealing with the troubles that come with it is the main reason why she occasionally leaves the throne for years..."
I'm using a novel app recently, [app], and Android and Apple phones support it!
"Border? Trouble?" Amber was confused and subconsciously asked about this topic. However, the moment she was about to speak, a chill and horror that seemed to surge from the depths of her soul suddenly swept across her body and mind, making her swallow all her words back. She was extremely uneasy and confused, not knowing what was going on just now, but soon she recalled that this was a warning from the depths of her soul, and it was her "Dark Night God's Choice" that reminded her to avoid fatal dangers.
In the past few decades of life, this warning only appeared in extremely rare circumstances, but afterwards it turned out that this warning never went wrong every time. This was a little secret of her and one of the reasons why she firmly believed that she was "Selected by the Dark Night". The last time this warning came into effect was just before the old Cecil leader was attacked by a distorted army.
That time, the strong warning from the heart caused her to run into the ancestral tomb of the Cecil family in a confused manner, allowing her to survive and witness the greatest miracle in the world with her own eyes. This time, the warning stopped her from asking her about to blurt out and sweated.
No matter what the "border" and "trouble" are, don't ask, don't listen! That is definitely a dangerous thing that will cause fatal pollution as long as you know it!
"Little girl? What are you thinking?" The sound from the book woke Amber from her distracted state. The voice of the great adventurer Wilder sounded a little concerned, "Are you worried that you will be trapped here and can't go back? Maybe I can help... Although I can't leave this place myself, it is easier for the 'visitor' like you to temporarily leave..."
"Ah, I'm just a little distracted," Amber quickly reacted, and then looked at the big black book in surprise. "Ah, I just wanted to ask... Is there anyone other than me who has missed this place?"
"Yes, but that's all happened before I came here. Ms. Ye said that I stayed here for a short time, and sometimes outsiders missed into this place for thousands of years, only once or twice, so I haven't met it yet," Wilder said slowly, "but Ms. Ye also told me how to send away the visitors who missed into this place in case of emergency..."
"What should I do?" Amber asked curiously.
"Did you see the sloping pillar next to the throne? It is the nearest border beacon here. Just climb to its highest point and jump down."
Amber suddenly widened his eyes, and when he looked at the black-skinned book, his expressions were all full of expressions, "I have no grudges and no grudges, why should you regard me as a fool?" This expression was obviously "read" by the book. The old man's helpless voice came from the book: "I knew you would be this reaction... It is said that visitors who have missed this place also reacted this reaction, but this is indeed the only way to leave this space, at least the only way I know..."
This is not the only way Amber couldn't help but mutter in her heart. Just what she knew was that the "Great Adventurer Modir" who was currently being personally cared for by the Duchess of Victoria, had entered this world three times in a row and returned safely three times in a row. She herself could even get out of here and return to the real world through the shadow walk, without having to climb any "boundary beacons".
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the situation that happened to her and Modir could only be used as an individual example. Perhaps... other ordinary people who were accidentally trapped in this "dislocated Kingdom" could only leave this world by climbing onto a pillar and jumping down?
She frowned and looked at the Black Skin Book with a serious look on her face: "You really have to climb onto that pillar and jump down to get out of here? Why do you have to do this?"
"I don't know the specific principle here. Ms. Ye only told me one thing," Wilder said while recalling, "She said: Falling is a shortcut to waking up from a dream."
"Falling is a shortcut to waking up from a dream... in a dream..." Amber's pointed ears trembled, and a thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on his face, "What does this mean? Could it be that this is actually just a dream?"
"I don't know the specific meaning of this sentence, but it is by no means the power of the dream entity that takes effect here. Ms. Ye once said this in person. Ah... I guess the reason why Ms. Ye mentioned "dream" may be related to His own frequent dreams?"
"Ms. Ye often dreams?" Amber frowned, "What does this mean? Why does He keep dreaming?"
"Hahaha, how do I know this?" The old man's hearty laughter came from the big black skin book. "He just dreams often, sometimes he dreams when he wakes up, sometimes he dreams in his sleep. He spends most of his time dreaming and I am just a passerby living here. How can I ask the mistress here why she dreams?"
"This...well, it's logical," Amber grabbed her hair, and carefully recorded the information she found while thinking about what else to ask. At this moment, her eyes suddenly fell on the cover of the big black book. She was very curious about the book that called herself "the great adventurer Wilder" (or is it really Wilder "self"?) and after hesitating for a few seconds, she couldn't help asking, "That... can I open you and see?"
The sound from the book was suddenly confused: "Open me?"
"Yes, look, isn't your current form a book? I just thought..." Even with Amber's strong nerves, she felt so weird when she talked about this. She gestured and said, the more she became more confident, "I just thought of opening it and taking a look... Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it, if you feel offended, I can apologize..."
"Ah no, of course not, there is nothing to offend. I really seem to be a book now, well... a book can be opened and read," Wilder's voice sounded a bit weird, as if he was thinking of this for the first time, "It's so interesting, I've never thought about this before..."
"Ms. Ye has never opened you?" Amber asked curiously.
"Of course not, His... is quite large, and he may not be used to reading such a small book. And He himself said that He doesn't like reading very much," Wilder said casually, and then he was a little eager to try, "Little girl, don't you want to open me and take a look? I think you can try it. I've been lying here for many years and have never been opened. Now I'm suddenly a little curious about what I wrote in this 'book'."
Amber immediately smiled and rubbed his hands expectantly while walking towards the stone pillar, muttering in his mouth: "Then... I've really turned it over?"
As she spoke, her hand was already on the cover of the big black book, and a strange touch of leather came as if she was touching jade rather than paper. The first thing she felt was cold, as cold as a lifeless stone. Then she carefully turned on the dark cover that kept wandering with stars. This nameless book, which called herself "the great adventurer Wilder", finally opened the first page in her eyes.
The dense text records or mysterious and strange patterns did not appear. On the pages of paper with a slight white light, only a few huge and eye-catching words came into Amber's eyes:
Beware of sentinels!!
The moment she saw these words, Amber felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little. She felt that there seemed to be a larger message hidden behind the simple letters. These messages tried to enter her mind, but they seemed to be incomplete. When she realized the existence of these messages, they had disappeared.
She looked at the letters in front of her in shock, and was stunned for several seconds before she subconsciously turned on the next page, so the familiar words came into her eyes again:
Beware of sentinels!!
She realized something and quickly turned back more pages, so in each page, she saw the repeated warning: Be careful of sentinels, be careful of sentinels! Be careful of sentinels!!
"Little girl," Wilder's voice suddenly came from the book, awakening Amber from his inexplicable nervousness and confusion. The old man's voice sounded gentle and curious, "Did you see it? What is written on me? Is it my life? Or an important adventure note?"
"Beware of the sentinel."
"Beware of sentinels? What does this mean?"
"There are only these words in it," Amber quickly closed the page, as if the thing was hot. "Old sir, you really don't know what this means? Your page is repeating this sentence from beginning to end, and it sounds like a warning... Beware of the sentinel!"
"I...I don't remember," Wilder said a little helplessly, "Beware of the sentinel? I have no impression at all. I don't know what the 'sentinel' you are talking about..."
Amber opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain all this to the "book" in front of her. It was at this moment that a sudden sense of weightlessness and dizziness swept over, interrupting all her thoughts.
Chapter completed!
