Chapter 1262 Behind the Curtain

Hidden in the cracks in the real world, the truth that cannot be observed by the naked eye.

When Gao Wen saw the beating shadows, he didn't think so deeply. He only thought it was a kind of optical shading effect, an illusion covering some real situations in the tower. However, this simple thought lasted only less than a tenth of a second, and he suddenly realized something-

The three people at the scene were a legendary knight and Modir was a legendary wizard. Although the last Amber was not strong in combat, he was a suspected Shadow God Choice, a "Shadow Master" who was able to steal authority from Ms. Ye's Kingdom - what level of optical obstruction or illusion spell should be used to conceal their eyes at the same time?!

This is not an optical illusion, at least the power of the miracle field is entrenched here! Some research results of the Theological Council and the knowledge he obtained from several retired gods quickly emerged in Gao Wen's mind, and then he judged that something that almost interferes with reality is hiding the real situation in this tower.

Amber reacted in an instant and suddenly looked up at the sky. Her eyes did not "light of inspiration" like the protagonists of the story of those minstrels, and then penetrated the hidden curtains. However, a vague intuition still rose from the bottom of her heart. With the rapid thinking in her mind, she subconsciously raised her hands, hesitating whether she should summon those forces that might point to the gods.

This is the Tower of Tide Against Tide. Rampant use of power beyond the mortal realm may attract unexpected changes.

But isn’t the situation in front of you an unexpected change?

Amber quickly made up his mind, raised his hands high, and an invisible strong wind swept across the center of the hall in an instant. In the gray and white rapid airflow, shadows and dust emerged out of thin air, and were wrapped in the strong wind and spread wildly throughout the hall.

Gao Wen looked at the shadow sand and dust that suddenly appeared and expanded rapidly, and immediately looked at Amber in shock: "When did your ability become so powerful?"

"I...I don't know..." Amber also seemed a little confused. While controlling the shadows and dust flying all over the sky, he said quickly, "I just want to summon a piece of sand and dust to send it to it to see if the 'infection' nature of the sand and dust can break through and see what is invisible... I don't know why so many suddenly ran out!"

While speaking, Amber had quickly closed the "channel" that summoned the shadow sand and dust, but the dust that had already surged out still formed a huge gray-white "dust storm" over the hall. She tried her best to control the flow of the sand and dust, guiding them to hover in the upper part of the hall. Gao Wen opened his eyes at the same time, watching the gray-white sand flows rushing around the sky - the next second, he and Modir took a breath of air conditioning at the same time.

The gray-white wind sand swept across the roof of the hall, cutting the hidden "curtains" like a rough and unreasonable sword storm. The roof and surrounding areas that looked normal quickly revealed their true appearance. Large areas were seriously corroded, polluted, and even scars left by some parasitic structure were exposed to the three people. The black spots spread from the highest wall to the center of the roof, and many of them had withered and died. Things that were not known as animals or plants were entangled and absorbed above the transportation channel. The traces of corruption were shocking, but what was even more shocking was another thing:

A huge crack that penetrated the entire roof of the hall.

The crack was not printed on the wall or roof of the hall, but suddenly floated in the air, as if the space itself opened a wound; its ends penetrated through the outer wall of the tower, but did not destroy the structure of the outer wall, but penetrated out like a phantom. The top of it touched the roof of the hall, and the bottom of it showed a crooked and serrated shape like a serrated one!

And deep in this hideous and huge crack, you can see a blue light surging slowly like water waves. Although you can't feel any power dissipation, just seeing the bright and pure light, Gao Wen seemed to be able to feel how pure and powerful magic energy is filled with the "world" on the other side of the crack.

The shadow dust began to fade away, and the invisible wind in the hall gradually subsided. However, the destroyed "curtain" did not regenerate. The disturbing real scene presented on the roof of the hall is still clearly presented to everyone's eyes. The traces after erosion and the huge cracks lie in the sky almost occupy one-third of the height of the entire hall, but below them... other areas in the hall are still in normal state.

Obviously, near the roof is where "something" once occupied.

Amber raised her head and her eyes slowly opened her head. After a while, the shadow assault goose, who had been slowing down for half a beat, finally squeezed out of her throat and exclaimed: "Hey... Mom, this is a big deal!!"

"What is that?!" Modir's eyes fell on the crack full of blue light. He had never seen anything similar to it, but his instinct as a mage made him feel something from it, "That crack..."

"...Dark Blue Net, probably," Gao Wen's extremely serious voice sounded from the side, "It's the first time I've seen it, but I don't think there's anything wrong."

"Deep Blue Net?" Another layer of confusion appeared on Modir's face, "What's that?"

"It's very complicated to explain. You can think of it as the energy circulation system inside this planet. It overlaps with the material world like a projection of the planet, running through all the real world layers, and it has a 'spring source' exposed to the real world. You should be familiar with this source... It used to be called the Deep Blue Well," Gao Wen said slowly, his voice low and serious. He sighed slightly at the end, "It seems we are in trouble..."

It was as if to prove the "trouble" in Gao Wen's mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, the magic net terminal carried by Amber's waist suddenly made a series of rapid buzzing sounds. As soon as the communication was connected, Gao Wen heard Byron's voice sound from the opposite side of the terminal: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"People are safe, but we found something unsettling," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, and then frowned, "How do you know? What's going on over there?"

While speaking, he vaguely heard some noises opposite the communication device, mixed with the sounds of Melita and Noreta, as well as the noisy movements of the young dragon, and many people seemed to be in a hurry.

"The two young dragons suddenly started to make a big fuss just now," Before Byron spoke on the opposite side of the communicator, Asarena's voice suddenly inserted, "They shouted in the direction of the tower like crazy, and fluttered hard as if they wanted to fly over. We tried a lot of effort to stop them, but they still kept making trouble..."

The young dragon suddenly started to make a big fuss?

Gao Wen frowned, and then he heard another sound from the opposite side of the communication device. Melita and Noreta seemed to be nearby. Their conversation in a hurry came through the magic network terminal: "...Noretta, they looked very anxious and didn't listen to me at all!" "I didn't listen to me either! Noreta just now bit me!" "Do you want to use the spiritual soothing spell, but they are still young and resist the side effects of magic..." "Don't be anxious first, don't be anxious first, their bodies are fine, I will comfort and soothe." "Wait, Noreta... I suddenly thought of a possible possibility... you said, could they see something we can't see?!"

...

"Can they see something we can't see?"

On the edge of the deck of the Winter Number, two young dragons were still shouting restlessly. The two new mothers and fellow dragons accompanying each other were trying to comfort the two anxious little guys for some reason. Melita turned her head and looked at Noreta beside her, and said with wide eyes.

"What can't we see?" Noreta was putting his hand on the head of one of the young dragons, trying to increase the sense of security for the obviously anxious little guy, while slowly opening his eyes, "You mean..."

"I guess - the dark blue demon marks not only affect their scale color, do you still remember? Speaker Andal and Ms. Enya both said that those demon marks may also affect their nervous system and their perception abilities..."

"Gao!!" "Gao!!" The two young dragons screamed one after another. They suddenly broke free from Noreta's hand and rushed into the air. While hovering anxiously above the deck, they looked towards the direction of the tower of the tide. Shang Xianxian's tender roar was mixed with obvious uneasiness and a certain...excitement.

Noreta reacted, she glanced at Melita, and they both raised their hands and pointed at the two young dragons hovering in the night sky. The invisible magic forced the two little guys back to the deck. The young dragon subconsciously struggled, but before that, Melita and Noreta had already put their hands on their heads.

"Be good, don't be afraid," Melita used one arm to control the neck of the extremely strong dragon, and pressed the little guy's head with the other hand. She leaned closer to the latter's ear and whispered in a gentle voice, "Did you see something terrible? Mom knows, don't be afraid, relax... Let mom see what you have seen..."

The little guy calmed down a little, and in this moment, layers of blue rune rings suddenly floated on Melita's hand, and her eyes turned into dark golden vertical pupils in one breath. Under the night sky, these magic-filled eyes directly linked to the young dragon's vision. Then she controlled the young dragon in her arms and slowly turned her gaze to the direction of the tall tower.

A huge crack that could even make the dragon feel trembling filled her vision!

The crack was suspended in the sky, filled with eye-catching blue light, like a solidified lightning, penetrated the clouds in the night, and tilted toward the sea downward. It penetrated the lower half of the tower against the tide. However, the crack did not destroy the body of the tower, but instead 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 Tallond, winding forward, crossing the sea surface with broken ice and the broken coast, and sank into the depths of the earth.

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

"Oh my god..."

Noreta's scream came from the side, making Melita wake up suddenly. As the magic connection between her and the young dragon was interrupted, the crack that stretched across the sky and penetrated the tower disappeared in view, as if it had never existed.

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

The next second, Melita stood up suddenly and rushed towards Byron, who was holding a communicator not far away: "Gaowen! We may be in trouble!"

...

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

When did the cracks appear? When did the traces of pollution and corrupt appear? When Modir Wilde came here six hundred years ago... were they there?

Such a chilling scene emerged in Gao Wen's mind - the ignorant adventurer stepped into the tower, but could not see the real scene in the tower. He explored, recorded, and learned in the hall. However, above his head, the indescribable corrupt thing was hidden deep in the invisible curtain, countless eyes were staring at him, and countless mouthpieces whispered to him...

He suddenly realized what the words Modir mentioned in his confusion just now meant - although the great adventurer failed to see the "truth" in the hall back then, some influences still directly interfered with his mind, allowing him to "record" everything in his subconscious mind.

"What should we do now?" Amber's voice came from the side, and the half-elf looked nervous. However, at such a critical moment, she had no sign of running away. She just looked at the terrible scene above the hall as if she was facing a great enemy while waiting for Gao Wen's next instructions.

Gao Wen did not respond to Amber at the first time, but took out a small magic metal talisman from his arms. In addition to the unique deep-sea runes engraved on the amulet, you can also see another precise rune array in the core area - it is roughly hexagonal, covered with transparent crystals as a whole, and you can also see fine 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 principles are not complicated. Its core organization is actually a general inverter array. If divine power exists within a certain range, the inverter array will react, and the energy balance inside it will shift, and the crystal structure of the device will also heat up and generate a flash signal.

At least in all tests so far, this detection device can react sensitively to any known divine power, and therefore it has become a standard item in the daily tasks of the "contact" and "confrontation" operators of the Theologian Council.

Looking at the metal amulet in a quiet state, Gao Wen's face was as deep as water.

At first, the amulet did not respond. He only thought that the "tide counterattack" was too special, so he failed to trigger the alarm of the amulet.

But now…he has a worse answer.
