Chapter 1467 The source of amber

The study was quiet, and Amber was a little silent for a moment. She had completely understood Gao Wen's speculation, and had to admit that this was probably the only possible answer.

But as the "party" in this whirlpool, she still needs some time to calm her mood.

After a few minutes, she suddenly raised her head and looked into Gao Wen's eyes: "When did you think of this?"

"In fact... when Nicholas and the others discovered that Shadow Hall, I had a vague feeling," Gao Wen thought for a while and told him frankly, "At first, I associated you with the shadow power entrenched in that hall, but the possibility of you being the "star map custodian" is slim, even if you can't remember your "life experience" before being transformed into an artificial human being by the Gondor people.

"After that, I suspected that Ms. Ye had an ancient god with a mysterious connection with you. Since the time of the Departures, she has been hiding in the depths of the world, holding the authority of the shadow, and has been fighting against the anti-tide for a long time... All kinds of clues are suspicious, and coupled with the abnormal reaction you had when Nicholas and the others explored the Shadow Hall, I vaguely felt... Ms. Ye was probably the answer to everything."

Amber subconsciously spoke: "You thought of it at that time... Then why..."

"Because the lack of the most critical 'explanation', this leads to my speculation that is completely inconsistent with the information we have always 'mastered'," Gao Wen shook his head, "The Settlement almost killed all the ancient gods. In the records they left behind, there was even a special message to send a fleet to continue chasing Ms. Ye. The records from the Dragon Clan can also confirm this. All the evidence has always shown that there is an endless relationship between the Settlement and the ancient gods... This major premise is not overturned, how can you believe that Ms. Ye who was chased by the Settlement until the last moment would be the star map custodian of Cangqiong Station, and even have considerable authority?"

Amber instantly understood: "So what I saw at the bottom of the vortex just now was the most critical explanation..."

"Yes, if the 'war' between the Settler and the ancient gods is essentially a transaction, if the ancient gods took the initiative to summon the Settler fleet, and there was actually no hatred between the two... Then everything will be made clear."

Gao Wen nodded and said, then he sighed in his heart: After all, the records of the Dragon Clan are correct, and the "battlefield logs" he obtained are also correct. The battle of the gods killed more than 1.8 million years ago... is actually a situation of immortality. Although the ancient gods initially summoned the Descendant fleet with their own hands, when the latter arrived on this planet, the gods who had sent the signal were completely in a state of madness while waiting. In this out of control... they fought a death battle with the fleet they summoned with their own hands.

The Settler just faithfully fulfilled the content of the transaction in the process.

The above are actually still considered conclusions that Gao Wen inferred based on existing information, but all the key contradictions have been explained, all existing clues can be connected, and all the evidences are confirmed by each other. Therefore, even the inferred conclusions are probably infinitely close to the truth of that year.

Now he only has a little confusion: in the existing information, the shadow goddess "Ms. Night" was obviously crazy out of control in the final stage of the God-killing Battle. He fled the battlefield in the fierce battle, so that the setter had to send a fleet to chase the out-of-control god, but in the end... this out-of-control god turned into the "Star Map Custodian" at Cangqiong Station, and there was a gap that still needs to be explained.

What happened between Ms. Ye's escape from the battlefield of the gods and the Settlement sending hunting troops to Ms. Ye's becoming the "Star Map Custodian"? Could it be that he was not completely crazy back then, so he was rescued by the Settlement in the final stage? Could it be that the Settlement has some means to restore the out-of-control god? Could it be that the so-called "anchor generator" not only has the function of maintaining the existence of the gods, but also can assist in stabilizing the spiritual state of the gods?

There are too many possible explanations, and I am afraid that only the "party involved" themselves will know what happened.

Compared to Ms. Ye’s experience back then and his current state, what Gao Wen is more concerned about at this moment, or what he is capable of paying attention to now is the situation on Amber.

Amber, the "Artificial Man No. 36" of the Gondor Empire, whose soul comes from the "Shadow Inhabitants" in the Shadow Realm, has an indescribable connection with Ms. Ye, and can even partially steal Ms. Ye's authority, which will react to the state changes of the anchor generator. After seeing the traces recorded on the anchor generator, she fell into a vortex that was suspected to be "memory of ancient gods"...

She still looked noisy, cowardly and jumping outside, but in Gao Wen's perception, she was no longer a simple shadow attack goose. She was a shadow attack goose that was in trouble.

"Does there any abnormal reaction in the body now?" Gao Wen paid attention to Amber's state, sensed the changes in the other party's breath, and asked very cautiously.

"No," Amber answered honestly, "except when he was a little confused when he came out of the vortex just now, it seems that he was not affected by any consequences... Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although I have encountered many strange things during this period, these visions do not seem to cause harm to me. I have a feeling that Ms. Ye's power is completely unhonest to me..."

"No hostility does not mean there is no danger. No harm is caused now does not mean that we will always be safe in the future," Gao Wen frowned with a serious expression. "We have no way to locate Ms. Ye's position. Previously, the expert group of the Council tried to use shadow dust and shadow cracks to indirectly find Ms. Ye's Kingdom of God. This attempt has also failed... We have to make some new attempts. Even if we can't find Ms. Ye, at least we have to protect you."

Amber stared at Gao Wen blankly: "New attempt? What are you going to do?"

"For example, build two anti-divine barriers around the royal and administrative regions first," Gao Wen said while thinking, "this may prevent you from excessive contact with unspeakable and uncontrolled forces to a certain extent."

Amber was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened: "...No need to exaggerate it!"

"...Okay, it may be a bit exaggerated, and you always have time to go out to act," Gao Wen thought for a while and could only shake his head. "The more feasible solution is to bring protective measures with you."

"Bring the protective measures on your body?" Amber said with confusion, "Can you let me go out with a set of anti-divine barriers? Just like those heavy white knights?"

Gao Wen raised his eyes and glanced at the thin and small half-elf in front of him, thinking that with this guy's small body, he might not be able to wear the White Knight's equipment if he had eighteen surgical transformations. He waved his hand: "I mean the deep-sea amulet. Although the protection methods such as the divine perception amulet are simple, the effect is guaranteed. Go back and find Tyre and ask her to make a deep-sea amulet for you personally, and take it with you and don't take it off."

"Although I still think you are a little too nervous... but okay, I can feel more at ease when I take some protection," Amber thought for a while and sighed helplessly. "I'll go find Tyre now, I hope she's awake at this time."

While talking, she couldn't help but look at Gao Wen's desk curiously and looked at the upside down piece of paper that seemed to have an indescribable attraction to her. Although she knew that the pattern on the piece of paper was strange, she still wanted to take a look.

It was as if there was something important to her hidden inside.

However, Gao Wen directly put away the paper: "You should not touch this thing anymore. Before Nicholas has made more progress in research on Shadow Hall and anchor generators, you should keep a distance from this."

Amber could only give up with a little regret, then turned around and crawled back into the shadow crack. Next, she wanted to find Tyre. If the other party was still awake at this time, she had to find her to get a customized version of the deep sea amulet.

Although theoretically speaking, this kind of thing only meets the standards in terms of materials, processes, rune accuracy, etc., and there is actually not much difference between the effect produced in the factory or hand-scraped, in fact, the deep-sea amulet processed by the Siren himself is a little better than the factory products in terms of resisting divine erosion and protecting soul stability. Gao Wen interprets the principle behind this little difference as "The deep-sea harmonious god is also considered a god, and it is normal to rub something with special effects", but Amber prefers another popular explanation nowadays:

Handmade things have souls.

The study was quiet. After Amber left, Gao Wen thought about it for a long time in front of the desk. Then he took out the piece of paper that he had put away, and then unfolded it and looked at the dense pattern on it.

There was a not-so-obvious blank at the corner of the pattern. He was still not enough to finish the last stroke. As long as he added this stroke, he would complete the pattern on the surface of the anchor generator that looked like a totem relief.

He watched the pattern for a long time, but could not feel any special power from it like Amber, but he vaguely felt that if he made up for this last stroke, it might bring about some changes.

He picked up the pen at his hand, but only let the tip stay a few millimeters on the paper. He thought of the scenes Amber saw in the vortex just now, and clues about the relationship between "Star Map Custodian" and "Ms. Ye". Finally, what he thought of was the indescribable connection between Amber and Ms. Ye.

In fact... he already had a vague guess in his mind.

The information currently known can prove that Ms. Ye is most likely the "Star Map Custodian" left by the setter, while Amber can "borrow" Ms. Ye's authority and "steal" the shadow sand and dust from the Kingdom of God. Even through the totem patterns on the surface of the anchor generator, she can also see those "observation records" that Ms. Ye is most likely left by Ms. Ye. This can no longer be explained by a simple "some connection".

Gao Wen also clearly remembered that this sentence was mentioned in the anchor generator log:

If the anchor generator is out of focus or enters a certain secondary state, the data of the star map custodian will be copied and overflowed.

An important factor that causes the anchor generator to lose focus is the data contact between the sentry system and the "Star Map Custodian".

The sentinel system runs in the deep sea and originally did not communicate with the Sky Station located in the material world, but there is one thing that may have caused the two to be contaminated against the tide many years ago.

It first tried to infect the sky, and then tried to decontaminate the sentinels after being blocked from the Shadow Hall. In this process, the data isolation between the sentinel and the star map custodian may have been "breaked through" by pollution!

In other words, the "custodian data error copying and overflow" mentioned in the anchor generator log should have already occurred, and will this... be the "source" of amber?

A soul wandering in the shadow world, a "error copy" split from the original data of the star map custodian, has no memory or power, and is confusedly captured by the mages of the Gondor era and stuffed into the body of the artificial human... This process is probably true.

Back then, the Gondor Empire created dozens of artificial humans in the Shadow Fortress (this number should be more considering the entire project process and the possibility of other facilities), but in the end, only Amber, the individual survived. This can be explained by luck, but the greater possibility is... The soul in the body of "Artificial Human No. 36" is very special. She was not an ordinary shadow resident from the beginning!

Gao Wen let out a light sigh, feeling that he had grasped the true ins and outs of the matter, and he had thought of these just now, but he just didn't say them in front of Amber.

For Shadow Assault Goose, there are enough stimulating truths I have encountered in this time. It is best to let her slow down and follow the progressive big news to effectively train her nerves, but the big news that is smashed in one breath can easily make people "ga" and get it over.

And in fact, Gao Wen didn't need to deliberately analyze it for her. Looking back, Amber should have thought of these things slowly. Although she usually looks careless and unreliable, she actually knows this with a witty comparison.

The thoughts in his mind passed by in a flash, and the pen in Gao Wen's hand had fallen steadily, outlining the last curve in the complex pattern.

All the patterns were finally connected into a whole, presenting a complete pattern on the surface of the anchor generator, but no strange phenomena occurred.

Gao Wen frowned and looked at the mysterious pattern that was fully supplemented by himself. He always felt that this thing should not be so plain. He stared at the pattern for a long time, as if he wanted to see some supernatural traces from it, but he neither saw the twisted light nor the sounds sounded in his ears. His intuition seemed to be wrong. But on the other hand, there was no vision but he breathed a sigh of relief.

He just felt a little regretful.

After being stunned at the table for a few seconds, Gao Wen stood up. He hesitated for a moment, then closed the study door, and after returning to the table, staring at the paper on the table with countless mysterious lines, looking at the left and right, he bent down and poked the pattern on it: "...Is anyone there? Ms. Ye?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Amber's voice suddenly coming from the side: "Old Zongzi, what are you doing?"

Gao Wen looked up and saw Amber squatting on the windowsill in a position where one of his legs was poking in.

The goose looked here with shock.
