Before the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room through the castle window, the old man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

The cold air from the foggy city seemed to still linger in the depths of perception, and the erroneous perception that was difficult to distinguish the authenticity was beating in the nervous system like a false memory implanted into the mind. Modir felt that he seemed to be standing in the violet border city, and he could still smell the smell and feel the breeze there. This real "feeling" was completely different from the remaining impression after waking up from a dream under normal circumstances.

Relying on his profound knowledge and experience in dealing with various extraordinary visions, the old mage quickly completed his judgment of his own state: within the past few hours, his mind went far away, where the boundaries between reality and illusion, dreams and reality disappeared, and the pure human mind was no different from taking a real trip in such an environment.

The next second, Modir's eyes completely returned to clear. He skipped the "adaptation" process that might last for a whole day, and directly adjusted his mind to a normal state through powerful spiritual power. Then he got up and changed his pajamas and called the attendant guarding the corridor: "Go and call Victoria, I have something important to tell her."

Not long after, Victoria, wearing a home dress, came to Modir's room. The Duke of the North obviously did not expect that his ancestors would summon her so early in the morning. She was surprised: "I heard from the servant that you have something urgent... what happened?"

It’s not her fault for being surprised. After all, from a normal perspective, Modir Wilder spent the whole night in the castle. What emergency could his ancestors encounter after a sleep? It doesn’t seem like there was a sudden physical problem in his current state…

Victoria was wondering when she heard Modir say, "Is there a ship in North Port that can go to sea to Violet immediately? If possible, it is best to bring a professional team that is good at tracking, search and rescue, and a team of extraordinary vision experts."

The duchess was a little confused. She didn't know why her ancestor suddenly mentioned this, but when she heard the word "violet", she remembered the information she had received in recent times, and the various abnormal clues that the mysterious country of wizards across the strait had been spread in the past month... Her expression was confused and serious: "Okay, I'll make arrangements here-but can you tell me what happened? What's wrong with the Violet Kingdom? What's wrong with you..."

"I just came back from that," Modir said in a deep voice, "Victoria, don't be too surprised, listen to me first-if I speculate, Plandel City should no longer exist at this time... I need you to send someone to the beach southeast of Plandel to find two military intelligence officers trapped there. They are still alive at this time, but the next time they stay on the island, it may not be so easy to survive. In addition, I also need you to send a message to the imperial capital immediately..."

...

The "great migration" of Shadow Inhabitants.

To be honest, Gao Wen knew that there was a huge mystery hidden in the mysterious shadow world, and he also knew that the strange shadow residents had been wandering between the shadow and the present as if they were fulfilling some mission, but he really didn't expect that one day the latter would suddenly change such a strange thing - fortunately, Amber discovered and reported it immediately.

In the morning, Hedy came to Gaowen's study early to report on the response of the Government Affairs Department to the "Shadow Residents" phenomenon discovered by Amber.

“…As of now, we have completed observations in the Shilin City, San Sunil, Kant and Baisha areas. Shadow mages have observed traces of a large number of shadow residents gathering and moving to the north through the rifts in the above areas. Of course, due to the ability of ‘normal humans’ in the shadow field and the limitations of existing technology, it is difficult for mages to observe sufficiently clear and accurate images, but the existing evidence is enough to prove that the phenomenon observed by Amber is not limited to one place, but is very likely to occur in the entire shadow world...

"Countries such as Tifeng, Silver, and Holy Dragon Principality that have shadow observation technology or have advanced shadow supernatural powers have also launched observations in their respective territory. Due to the sudden incident, no observation results have been reported in various countries...

"Considering that the 'Great Migration' phenomenon may occur all over the world, and the Shadow Inhabitants are extremely aggressive to the 'Invaders', the Government Affairs Department has issued a risk warning for the Shadow Realm throughout the country, requiring extraordinary professionals at all levels, such as stalkers, Shadow Mages, Shadow Spirit Witches, etc. to try not to get close to the Shadow Realm in the near future. If necessary, try to avoid long-term use of Shadow Steps or Shadow Jumps, which may cause them to "cross the border"..."

Listening to Hedy's orderly report, Gao Wen nodded slowly, and then couldn't help but mutter: "Although ordinary shadow professions cannot have as amazing shadow talent as Amber, they are not absolutely unable to cross that 'boundary'. Once they enter the Shadow World without knowing anything, they happen to meet the 'Great Migration' team, the consequences will be unimaginable... After all, not everyone can be as safe as Amber as Amber."

"The Shadow Superman in our country should be safe for the time being," Hetty nodded, but then he changed his tone with a serious expression. "It's hard to say from other countries... After all, not every country has professionalized all supermans like Cecil and included them in the national regulatory system. In many countries and regions of the alliance, there are still cases where high-level mages live in groups and are not controlled by the government, and secret monks hide in the secret realm for three years without leaving. These groups called "classical superman" have always been the most troublesome problem for governments in the process of promoting the modern household registration system and the extraordinary professional management system..."

Gao Wen sighed: "No matter what, after this period of time, at least in the Shadows, the 'classical extraordinary people' around the world must deeply realize the necessity of embracing the progress of the times... Usually, they live alone and don't even read newspapers. If they turn their heads and do experiments, they will be pressed on the ground by ten thousand shadow residents. If they can come out alive, they should actively report to the local government in the future."

"The world changed very slowly in the past. A great magician locked himself in the mage tower and hidden away for less than twenty years. After he came out, he was still the best in the field. The world order he was familiar with was still the order of everyone, but the current world does not allow them to continue living that kind of closed 'pastoral life'," Hetty shook his head, "But this is not the point. The point is what happened to this 'Shadow Residence'..."

"A big thing is about to happen in the shadow world... or something has happened. Considering what has happened in recent times, I can't help but think of the ancient god who has been hidden for more than one million years... Ms. Ye." Gao Wen said thoughtfully. He has been thinking about this since he received Amber's report yesterday. Although there is no clear evidence, the guess in his heart actually had a very clear direction and path from the beginning.

"Shadow... This is a line that connects all information. Since Ms. Ye in the ancient times 'disappeared' and suspected of being incorporated by the Settlement, she has played a mysterious role in the history of this world, and those shadow residents who are also mysterious... The Shadow Hall and Amber in the Sky Station all seem to be connected by the same line..."

He suddenly thought that many of the concerns of recent changes seemed to start from the moment Kassandra cleared the thorn bushes around the "Anchor Generator" in the Shadow Hall.

The engineering team in space cleared the thorn bushes around the anchor generator, and a strange phenomenon occurred on Amber, and a strange migration occurred in the shadow world, which gave Gao Wen a feeling that it was like a huge and ancient machine that had been stuck tightly by foreign objects. Cassandra's behavior of clearing the thorn bushes seemed to have cleared out the foreign objects between the gears. Then with a loud bang, the machine that had been stagnant for millions of years finally started to operate again, and an event that had been postponed for millions of years... seemed to have finally happened.

"You go and do your own business first," after a moment of contemplation, Gao Wen let out a gentle breath, raised his head and said to Hetty, "I'll notify me as soon as possible if there is any change in the Shadow Realm."

"Yes, ancestor." Hedy bent down slightly, took the order and then left the study.

Gao Wen stayed behind the desk and did not get up. He fell into thought. The sunlight that sprinkled from the window shone on his face, casting a clear shadow between his facial features. He maintained this posture for a while and then suddenly looked up in a certain direction in the air: "What happened?"

Almost as he finished speaking, a twisted dark crack suddenly opened in the air, and Amber quickly drilled out with his hands and feet.

Gao Wen watched the shadow assault goose emerge from the crack, and watched the other party's long hair that was fluttering in the air gradually return to the short hair form, and his eyes that emitted a golden light gradually converged, and his brows frowned slightly: "You still dare to run around with the shadow crack? Are you worried that opening the crack will stimulate the shadow residents who are migrating?"

"I found that they were all busy rushing, and they didn't seem to care about what cracks I opened," Amber waved his hand vigorously, and then his expression became serious. "And I have something urgent to tell you, so I don't care about so much."

Looking at Amber's appearance, Gao Wen's expression immediately became serious: "What's the situation?"

"The Winter Fort is coming quickly, and the Violet Kingdom has undergone amazing changes," Amber gasped and said in a quick breath. "Plandel City was swallowed by fog last night. The entire Violet territory is currently in a state of loss of contact. We have lost all the signals from the intelligence contact stations. Dozens of Military Intelligence Agency officers may have died - the level of extraordinary vision has been raised to 'suspected divine disaster'."

The expression on Gao Wen's face turned into surprise instantly. Although he forcibly controlled the muscles on his face the next second, the storm in his heart had already aroused.

"What does it mean to be swallowed by the fog? Based on the evidence, this extraordinary vision was judged as a 'suspected divine disaster'?" He stood up suddenly, with an extremely solemn expression, "Wait... Why did the news come from Winter Fort? We set it in Beigang..."

"Because the original source of the news was Modir Wilder," Amber explained without waiting for Gao Wen to finish her speech. She had already expected what the other party would ask. "According to the big adventurer's self-report, he arrived at the city of Plandel on the eve of the thick fog last night through a dream roaming, and met two military intelligence officers trapped in a vision there..."

In the next few minutes, Amber informed Gao Wen of all the information he had just obtained from the emergency channel - this is a bizarre story, a terrifying and weird piece of information. If it weren't for hearing it with your own ears, if it weren't for the source and transmission path of the information, Gao Wen even felt that these things were more like thriller scripts compiled by some crappy minstrels (such as the gang of dragons who ran out of Tallond to cheat food and drink).

However, all this seems to have happened.

A violet city was swallowed by fog, and the strange "messenger" in the fog and the black flames rising into the sky kept "clearing" everything... The extraordinary vision began to spread out from the Thousand Towers City, and had covered the entire Violet Kingdom... The disappearing inland city, the disappearing "traces of existence", the disappearing "historical memory" and the tampering and distorted "settings"...

All this happens quietly outside the perspective of mortal civilization, and when people notice it, it has become something indescribable.

In fact, if it weren't for some big adventurer who "unexpectedly" intervened in this strange phenomenon in the "dream", I'm afraid that these information would not be able to be transmitted until now - Amber would only know that all the military intelligence liaison stations in Violet had been cut off contact, and when the truth was found out, it was unknown when it was not until!

Then again... Did that big adventurer really intervene in the strange phenomenon by "unexpectedly"?

Gao Wen thought of the special thing about Modir Wilder, the connection between the other party and Ms. Ye, and the figure of the shadow residents mentioned in the intelligence that appeared in the thick fog...

And the ongoing "great migration" of Shadow Inhabitants - the great migration to the north.

Countless clues seemed to be gathering together all of a sudden, and Gao Wen felt that he could effectively connect them.

"The information we have is still insufficient now. The Duchess of Victoria has personally led a team to the Violet Border to check the situation," Amber's voice came from the side, "The big adventurer is also in the fleet.

"At present, we cannot be sure what the situation is in Plandel City after being swallowed by the thick fog, nor are we sure what other areas of Violet, especially the state of several other border cities that have established trade relations with North Port. Modir only knows what happened in the depths of the fog. When he was wandering in his dreams, he could not see the situation outside the fog, and before the fog dissipated, his mind returned to Winter Fort..."

"There are two military intelligence operators who are still alive, at least Modir watches them alive and rushes out of the fog." Gao Wen said suddenly.

"Yes, there should be two survivors--although it's not certain whether there are operators in other border cities, at least the two people Modir encountered in the 'Dream' rushed out," Amber nodded. "They may be waiting for support on the beach outside Plandel, and have more important intelligence in their hands. The Duchess of Victoria said she would do her best to find the two survivors."

"I hope those two survivors are safe and sound," Gao Wen frowned, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the armrest of the seat. "It was swallowed by the fog, disappeared in the black flames, and could be reached through dreams, and there were those 'settings' that were twisted and tampered with, as well as the vague connection between Ms. Ye and Ms. Amber, I had some amazing guesses."

"Amazing guess?" Amber looked at Gao Wen with a look of surprise. "Even you think your guess is 'amazing', then this must be really amazing... What did you think of?"
