Chapter 1260 Familiar scenes
Under the starry sky at the extreme night, the giant steel island that has been silent for nearly two million years, the mottled and ancient prehistoric civilization creations, the steel roads that extend straight in the darkness - and the street lights that start on their own.
Amber disappeared in front of Gao Wen with a whimper. After half a minute, she showed half of her head in the crack of the shadow in the air. She looked at the movement outside in fear, and muttered carefully while looking around: "Nothing comes out, right?"
Gao Wen carried the Trailblazer sword in one hand and stepped forward with the other to pull the amber out of the shadow crack, while keeping his vigilance at the surroundings and whispered: "No...but it seems that something here has noticed our arrival..."
A stream of magic light was condensed at the top of the battle staff in Modir's hand. The old mage put at least dozens of layers of protection on himself in the past half second. At this time, the remaining energy accumulated in the staff was scattering in the atmosphere little by little. He looked vigilantly at the movements in the steel ruins. After hearing Gao Wen's words, he muttered in a low voice: "Such an ancient ruin can still be 'living'... I have never seen such a bizarre thing in my life!"
Gao Wen glanced at the old master, but before he could speak, Modir muttered himself: "Oh, maybe I haven't seen it before... Maybe I've seen it many times, but I forgot..."
"You are really skilled in this." Gao Wen said casually to ease the atmosphere, and then he focused his attention again on the ancient ruins in front of him - those light balls rising from the metal pillars next to the road were floating quietly in the air several meters high. The constant light emitted illuminated the road in the dark and stretched far along the road. Gao Wen looked into the distance and saw not only the road in front of him, but even some street lights in the distance were starting one after another. From this position, he had no way to judge how large the lighting system in the lighting system was restarted at this moment, but one thing he could be sure of was that the scale was definitely not small.
Because in just a moment, the communicator worn by Amber's waist sounded, and Byron's nervous voice came from it: "Your Majesty! What's going on with you? I saw many areas at the foot of the tower that were suddenly illuminated!"
There is a WeChat official account that can receive red envelopes and coin orders on a first come first served basis!
"Can you even see it?" Gao Wen opened his eyes wide in surprise, then shook his head, "Don't worry, just activated some ancient lighting. Keep your guard on the other side, and I will notify you immediately if there is any situation."
The communication with the cold winter number was temporarily suspended, and Gao Wen and his party began to continue moving in the ruins that suddenly "move" - Gao Wen, holding the long sword of the pioneer, walked in the front of the team, and then put dozens of layers of protection on himself, and also put dozens of layers of protection on Gao Wen and Amber. Amber has transformed herself into a state of shadow affinity. In the changing light and shadow, her figure appears and disappears from front, back, left and right of the team, paying attention to movements in all directions.
Modir's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the half-elves whose control was terrifying. No matter how knowledgeable the old mage saw in his life, he had never seen a fierce man who could use shadow jumping as a walk. He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "... This is really the most skillful stalker I have ever seen in my life. She is enough to stare at all the movements in the night!"
Gao Wen glanced at Amber who was leaping around in his sight and said casually: "Don't be fooled. She ran around from front to back and forth to be one step ahead when she ran away."
Modir: “…?”
Amber obviously heard Gao Wen's comment, but she had long been used to it and was shameless about it, so her face did not change at all. After running around for a while, she could still run to Gao Wen with confidence and say that she had made great contributions: "I investigated around and found that only these street lights were activated, and there was no more movement."
Gao Wen nodded, he was also paying attention to the situation nearby, and everything was indeed as Amber said:
Everything in the ancient ruins is dead silent, only the waves in the distance and the sound of the wind in my ears stir up the tranquility under the night. It is in this lifeless state that the sudden lit street lights appear particularly strange and wary.
"I think we'd better get around these places illuminated by street lights," Amber said suddenly, with her expression a little nervous. "It doesn't feel good to act in such an environment that is illuminated from all directions."
"All areas leading to the tower have been illuminated by these street lights," Gao Wen looked up into the distance. Of course, he knew that Amber's tension was somewhat reasonable, but after observing the situation in the distance, he realized that his group might have to bite the bullet and walk under these strange street lights. "The lighting system is started with the tower as the center. The more you go to the central area, the less blind spots the light covers - let's go, at least we have a clear direction."
Amber could only suppress the tension in his heart, shrank his neck and continued to follow Gao Wen. They walked towards the foundation of the tower on the wide and straight road, while Modir's eyes kept sweeping around, looking curiously at the signs that happened to appear on the roadside or the ground marks that had been damaged and damaged.
"Such a wide road... is even more spacious than the central avenue of Cecil City..." Amber couldn't help but mutter, "Who do you think this road is for? Are the sailors all the giants several meters tall?"
"It may also be that the vehicles they use here are huge," Gao Wen shook his head. "Enya said that the Departures are a race with almost no difference from humans. They even look very similar to most humanoid creatures, but they have many huge and amazing machinery. In the temporary bases built by the Departures, there are often more intelligent vehicles that shuttle back and forth than people. When this facility was still in operation, most of the Mercedes-Benzers on these roads were also mechanical vehicles they built... Perhaps most of them were engineering."
"There is a sign that can be seen clearly here," Modir seemed to suddenly find something, pointing to the air above everyone and said, "Above... Oh, I don't know a word..."
Gao Wen immediately looked in the direction of the old mage's finger and saw a cross-straight alloy beam spanning the road, with huge signs fixed on it and several devices with no use, with additional lighting at the bottom of the sign illuminating the mottled but still recognizable characters on the sign.
It was a mysterious and unknown text, connected by short dots, lines and graceful arcs, with indicative arrows next to it. I'm afraid no one can tell the characters on the Loren continent today - Enya may know some, but she is not here at this moment.
Gao Wen looked up at the sign for a moment, and then he was about to retract his gaze, but at this moment, the characters that were unfamiliar in his eyes suddenly trembled, and then he saw them deformed in his eyes as if they had come alive, wandering, and the lines were quickly reorganized, and the meaning of those characters came into his mind—
“The front leads to the - entrance to the production center B-17;
"Driving safely, keep in mind the key to production, slow down and slow down;
"The speeding place is deducted from 20 order points and the negative behavior of level 2 is recorded once."
Gao Wen blinked, subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. Amber next to him immediately asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? You're old and crying?"
Gao Wen slapped the guy on the head, looked up at the towering tower foundation illuminated by the light in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that we are heading in the right direction."
Going further ahead, besides the increasingly dense and bright lights, there is still no threatening thing in the remains. The group of three people slowly accelerated their pace and came to the last section of the road around the tower foundation. As they continued to approach the tower body, the building facilities around them became more dense than before. Many alloy structures of large and small like pillars stood on nearby platforms, pointing straight into the air under the night light, and various alloy thin beams were connected to each other, intertwined into a complex three-dimensional structure. There were also some arc-surface thin plates that seemed to be dome covered at the tops of some of the three-dimensional structures. Under the night light, these towering pillars and connections cut the night sky of the Arctic, faintly revealing a certain kind of "architecture art" of the setter civilization.
"So beautiful..." Amber couldn't help but look up at the things that looked like large urban sculptures. In such an industrial center, they certainly have more important functions than urban sculptures, but those functions have been destroyed in the long history. Now what they can present in future generations is amazing architectural skills and unique aesthetic style. "I thought the setters would only create cold machines or powerful weapons. They are a thorough combat race. It turns out that they also know art and aesthetics..."
"Don't be guided by prejudice," Gao Wen reminded him at the right time, "The setter is also a wise civilization, and as long as it is a wise civilization, it will always develop its own art and aesthetics. Even the aesthetic standards of different civilizations may be very different. Just like these pillars here, they..."
Gao Wen raised his head and said, but he suddenly stopped halfway. His eyes suddenly became serious, and his eyes swept quickly between the pillars and the connecting structures. Then he lowered his head, just in time to meet the serious and serious look that Amber also looked over.
"It looks familiar!" the two of them said almost in unison.
Modir next to him was a little confused and subconsciously spoke: "Ah? Why? Have you seen something similar?"
As soon as the old mage finished speaking, Gao Wen and Amber looked at him at the same time. Modil was shocked by the gaze and subconsciously wanted to ask, but was also made by the particularly solemn expressions of the two people in front of him, so he didn't know if he should speak, so he had to spread his hands with a confused look on his face.
Gao Wen and Amber have already confirmed something through this brief eye contact and memory confirmation.
Their "familiarity" is correct. They have seen things similar to these pillars and connecting structures here not long ago, and all this is related to Modir - the "stage" presented by the shadow sand and dust that Amber took from Modir. It is the mysterious place where the old mage and two suspected elves in the illusion of sand and dust meet!
There, there are also pillars and vaults that are similar to those here!
"The style is more than 90% similar, but not the same place," Gao Wen quickly compared the memory in his mind, looked up at the scene in front of him, and said to Amber with great certainty and fast speech, "It should be at another ruin of the setter."
"Are you sure?" Amber couldn't help but confirm, "The scenes displayed in the dusty illusions were not clear at that time, and there were many details between these pillars that were difficult to remember, so why don't I..."
While saying that, she raised her hand and prepared to summon the shadows and dust again for confirmation, but as soon as she was halfway through the action, she stopped the impulse and shook her head cautiously: "No, this place is weird, this may cause some unpredictable changes..."
Gao Wen just saw Amber's actions and wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect that this guy who usually looks careless and meticulous at this moment. In an unexpected situation, he also felt that this was natural - it was obviously the coward in the depths of this guy's soul that played a role.
"No need to confirm, I have confidence in my memory," he said, and wrote down the matter temporarily. "Keep going, this place feels more and more interesting."
As he said, he turned his head and looked at Modir: "You always pay attention to whether there is any change in yourself. No matter what you see or hear anything you think is abnormal, tell me the first time."
"I try my best," Modir nodded helplessly. He followed Gao Wen's footsteps and said while walking, "But in many cases, if the spirit is polluted, it is difficult for the polluted people to realize the strangeness of what they hear and see at the first time..."
"Then you take this one," Gawain said, as he stuffed something into Modir's hand, "but don't look at it frequently, just keep it by your side."
Modir took the stuff that Gao Wen had stuffed over, and after a glance, he found that it was a talisman less than the size of a palm. The surface of the talisman had complex and wonderful patterns. He only glanced at the talisman and felt that there was something encouraging. The high-spirited power flowed into his heart. However, the instinct accumulated over many years of adventures did not indulge in this positive spiritual influence, but he became alert at the first time: "What is this? It seems to affect my spirit..."
"The portable divine protective rune array, a gift from the sea - the "contact level" and above operators of the Theocracy Council are standard for people," Gao Wen explained casually, "The concept behind these special terms will be difficult to explain for a while. You can simply understand that this is an item specially used to fight against mental pollution. But the so-called "toxicity" in the fight against poison is actually a kind of mental pollution. Although for ordinary people, this kind of mental "pollution" has only a positive effect and its negative impact can be ignored with a slight adjustment, but your situation is special, and your resistance to mental pollution may be much lower than that of ordinary people, so I have only given you this thing now, and you'd better not let this amulet appear too frequently in your sight..."
