Sword of Dawn

Even Kamel noticed this change. His life form was transformed by the power of the gods, so he was extremely sensitive to the change of energy in the body of "Giant Deer Amorn". He looked at Gao in horror. Wen glanced at it, but in the next second, he was even more horrified to see that half-snake creature named Tyr rushing towards the body of the God of Nature, and raised the knife and fork high...

"Delicious!!"

Tyr spoke highly of the God of Nature.

Chapter 0243 The Returner

That's why Gawain brought Tire here.

Although the actual "identification operation" of this seafood was not the same as he originally expected, the result was still very satisfactory.

"This is the same type of creature as the giant squid, although their shapes are quite different," said Miss Siren who still retained a basic sense of reason in front of delicious food. She remembered the task that Gao Wen gave her, so she completed the "identification" "After that, he quickly arched back, and reported while drooling, "They have the same high-energy response. After the main body dies, the body tissue remains active...sucking, and has a natural reaction to the sea monster, which is an elemental creature. Attractive...sucking, and especially chewy...sucking..."

Gao Wen felt that he couldn't stand it any longer: "Why don't you take a nap first?"

"No, no," Tyre wiped his mouth vigorously, "I'm very reserved."

After saying this, the salted fish spirit raised his head and tried to shift his attention to a place other than "Small Dim Sum".

She stared blankly at the severely distorted metal wreckage floating around the body of "Giant Deer Amorn". As an individual from a highly civilized society, she naturally had an unusual understanding of these wonderful wreckage.

"This looks like a suicide attack," Miss Kraken guessed, "I found a large tear wound near the spine of the big white deer, and there were also fragments of metal debris in those wounds. The two seemed to have happened together. Very serious impact..."

"A suicide attack..." Gawain frowned and looked at the metal and crystals floating around the corpse, thinking about what benefits these things could bring to his territory.

This is a technological creation far beyond the imagination of today's human beings. There is no doubt about it. However, when the technology generation gap reaches a certain level, the relics of high civilization will lose their research and reference value for low civilizations—it is stronger than that of the past. The Gondor Empire, in the case of a gathering of elites, only roughly imitated the energy reaction on these wreckages, so as to create a protective barrier that can resist the "God's Will", and they failed to understand these wreckages at all. Any kind of technical detail in it, so what can today's Cecil collar learn from these wrecks?

I'm afraid they can't even cut these metals—just like the fragments of the Eternal Slate, all contemporary races believe that the Eternal Slate is the creation of the gods, and cannot be divided by mortals except for self-disintegration.

Sit back and watch Baoshan but return empty-handed, this is probably Gao Wen's current mood.

"It would be nice if I were a deep-water technician." Tire shook the tip of his tail, seeming to be a little regretful, "Maybe I can learn something from these wrecks... We sea monsters have observed every season of civilization on the mainland, but never Having never seen anything like it, these wrecks are really... incredible."

Till seems careless and careless, but she is actually cautious and delicate in her bones. She knows that she is in a strange civilization entity, and as a special individual in this environment, she has well controlled her words, deeds and curiosity Xin, even when she came to this ancient fortress, saw the so-called dead bodies of gods, and saw the suspected god-killing weapons, she had never acted too outrageously, but at this moment, she still couldn't help but show her disapproval. interest in these wrecks.

"The deep-water technician you mentioned can analyze these wrecks?" Gawain listened to Tyre's words, and immediately turned his head to ask, "Can your technology analyze this thing?"

"I'm just talking," Till thought about it carefully, and waved his hand regretfully, "Our technology is stuck in a very subtle... bottleneck state, and the deep-water technicians probably can't analyze it. These are completely different from our technical route. s things."

"That's right...that's really a pity."

Tyre was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked in a low voice: "By the way... is this the 'god' you mentioned?"

"Yes, you should have heard it just now—this is the God of Nature."

After staying in human society for such a short period of time, Tire is no longer as confused about human religious system and three views as she was at the beginning. Now she probably understands what the gods human beings believe in. Meaning, and recently saw the flesh and blood of the gods collected by Gao Wen, she finally realized what the "big squid" she and her sisters usually dig in the deep sea is—however, for the sea monsters who don't believe in gods, what humans have The supernatural idols she admired really couldn’t resonate with Tire, and she wanted to express her surprise when she heard Gawain’s affirmative answer, but in the end she could only sigh: “Oh, it’s quite chewy. of."

"I don't know how many believers will be scared to death by your words," Gao Wen smiled helplessly, "but having said that...there are not many people who still believe in the God of Nature."

Since the fall of the white star, the demise of the God of Nature has become a fact that people don't say but they know it well. The time of 3000 years has completely destroyed the original druid belief system. In the only "sacrifice" druid After the "Holy Spirit School" also degenerated into the Death of All Things Society, there are no open believers in the God of Nature in this world.

But Gawain is still sure that if the secret in this different dimension is made public, it will still be enough to cause a huge shock in the whole world.

Then Cecil Collar would be on the cusp.

So he must not let these news leak out, at least now that the territory is still fledgling, he cannot let these news leak out casually.

However, Gao Wen still hoped that this time he could dig out as much as possible from this "treasure mountain" and take it out, so he turned his head and looked at Kamel: "Kammel, back then, you recovered from the corpse of the god and the wreckage around the corpse of the god. Is the tool used to cut the sample still available?"

Kamel's voice came from the armor piece: "It's definitely unusable, and even if it can be used, I absolutely don't recommend you touch anything here."

Gao Wen frowned: "Why?"

"The giant deer Amoen is not as 'calm' as you seem," Kamel warned solemnly, "The god is dead, but his flesh and blood are immortal. He has a life pattern that humans cannot understand. What you see The corpse has never ceased to regenerate for the past 3000 years, and some unknown force has been repairing it, but the steel wreckage entangled with the god corpse inhibits this regeneration process, and the two form a subtle relationship. The balance can only be maintained to this day. When we collected samples here—whether it was from the corpses of the gods or from those wreckages—every time we paid a huge sacrifice, accompanied by great danger, and now... We may not be able to afford that risk."

"regeneration……"

Gawain muttered something to himself, and couldn't help but look at Tyre, who was babbling beside him.

The gods seem to be unkillable, although there seems to be a wave of powerful Zentraedi fleets killing the gods a long time ago, but after they left, these dead gods returned to the gods one after another ( Anyway, regardless of whether they return or not, there are people on the gods who answer the phone), and the Lord of Storms in the deep sea and the God of Nature in the Shadow Realm are unable to return because of accidents, one is the life of being gnawed Can't take care of themselves, one is unable to take care of themselves because of the interstellar car accident...

But it seems that as long as these external inhibitory factors are lifted, they will still be alive?

Gao Wen didn't know if the benevolent, great, and selfless gods that those pious believers said were really so majestic, but he judged from the scene of the car accident in front of him, if the giant deer Amoen woke up, he would probably be very happy ...

He decided to follow his inner guidance (and Kamel's warning), not to rashly touch Amorn and the wreckage around him when his technical ability and productivity were not enough, and let the god of nature continue in the Shadow Realm. Sleep peacefully.

But other samples that can be used in the fortress should be packed away as much as possible-maybe when the magic door will be closed again, those samples that have been handed down from the age of sparks to the present will be wealth that cannot be copied by then.

"Let's go, we've stayed in this place long enough." Gawain glanced back at the corpse of the giant deer Amorn, and then took a deep look at the distorted bodies floating around the god corpse, which seemed to be unchanging from time immemorial. The wreck, exhaled lightly, and then looked at the ancient magister floating in the air not far away, "Kamel, are you ready to return to the human world?"

The ancient magister fell silent.

When this day really came, Kamel found that he was completely unprepared.

In the past hundreds of years, he has imagined countless times when he left this place and returned to human society, but he never thought that this day would really come, let alone that he would be before this day. It lost the most basic attribute of "human being".

Hearing Gao Wen's question, he lowered his head, looked at his completely heterogeneous body, felt the magic energy flowing in his body, and suddenly flinched and feared.

"This appearance... can it return to human beings?"

"The outside world has changed a lot. You will face challenges when you return in any form, but in the land I rule, I can at least guarantee that you will be accepted by everyone," Gao Wen said slowly, "There are already people in my territory. Quite a few things that challenge the norm. My people are used to accepting things beyond the three views, and a powerful magister from ancient times will be respected by them. Of course, the premise of all this is that you have to learn to abide by it. The rules of this age, respect...my right to rule over this land."

After a longer silence, the arcane energy in Kamel's body gradually became brighter, and he finally broke the silence: "Before accepting this long mission, all of us knew that this is a road full of hardships. But for the continuation of the race, we are willing to give up everything we are born as human beings... Now, perhaps it is time to re-fulfill the vows we made back then.

"Senior advisor to the Magisters of Gondor, the watchman of the 'disobedient' fortress, Kamel Slane, will continue to fulfill the oath I made 1000 years ago. In the name of humanity, I swear allegiance to you, Lord."

0244 - The Young Wolf General

In the communication hall, Kamel stared at the 970 seats that had been silent for a long time.

Familiar names flashed across his mind, and behind those names were faces that had begun to blur in his memory. He vaguely remembered the day when the Watchmen team had just entered this facility, when everyone swore an oath here. The words are still in my ears.

Voluntarily give up everything that is human, in the name of human beings, watch over this fortress, watch over the hope and seeds in the fortress, until the long night passes, until the lights are rekindled, until the light of civilization shines on the world again.

The Watchmen did not break the oath, and today, the last Watchman will fulfill those vows made 1000 years ago.

Kamel stood at the front end of the hall, standing in front of the wall where the last message had been projected. The rune armor piece was rubbing in the air. He bent slightly and bid farewell to his former colleagues.

Gawain, Hetty and others stood at the entrance of the hall, quietly waiting for Kamel.

"Ancestor, what are you thinking?" Hetty asked in a low voice, looking at Gawain's expression.

Gao Wen sighed lightly: "Think about those unreasonable things."

Hetty looked puzzled: "Unreasonable place?"

"The blockade of this facility," Gawain shook his head lightly, "this facility was blocked 1000 years ago, and the watchmen and 'seeds' also entered a state of stasis and sleep at the same time, but the tide of magic really broke out But it was 700 years ago, and there was a full 300 years in between... so long in advance, don't you think it is unnecessary?"

"Perhaps it is because the scholars are aware of the horror of the demonic tide, and they think that it will be too late to block and sleep when the demonic tide breaks out," Hetty said of her own guess, "so it is necessary to store a large amount of it before the disaster really breaks out. A batch of sleeping seeds, so that one day when civilization is extinct, they can wake up and rebuild the empire..."

Gao Wen was noncommittal, and continued after a while: "According to Kamel, in addition to being the 'seed' of the main rebuilding force, the watchmen responsible for guarding the fort are the core executors of the old 'rebellious' plan. They are the most elite The magisters, the most cutting-edge scholars, the value of each person is immeasurable, when the disobedient fortress completes its mission, all the evacuated from here are the peripheral staff of the plan, and the real core, leadership, and informed layers, Almost all of them entered the depths of the fort and fell into a deep sleep, while outside, the 'results' they sent back to the imperial capital have never entered the public eye..."

Hetty frowned, as if realizing what Gawain wanted to say.

And Gao Wen immediately mentioned the third suspicious point: "In the end, the Gondor Empire does not seem to have informed the neighboring countries of the warning of the demon tide."

"You mean elves, dwarves, orcs?" Hetty raised his eyebrows, "Perhaps the empire didn't intend to remind them? Back then, the royal family of Gondor only thought about preserving human civilization in disasters, and never thought about... ..."

"No, the Gondor Empire back then was completely different from what you imagined," Gawain shook his head, "Since entering the second half of the Starfire Era, the Gondor Empire has been the most powerful country on this continent, but this human empire did not rely on Violence and conquest to get along with other races - of course, due to the restrictions of the Deep Blue Well, the Gondor Empire was in its heyday but unable to expand abroad, so the emperors of all dynasties chose to get along with neighboring countries on the basis of maintaining the strength of the empire.

"In the 300 years from the time when Kamel was active until the outbreak of the Devil's Tide, the Gondor Empire was in the honeymoon period with the elves and dwarves, especially the Silver Empire established by the elves. The relationship between the elves has reached its peak. One-third of the descendants of the elves royal family are studying in the capital of Gondor, and the footprints of human caravans have traveled all over the entire Silver Empire. So enthusiastic about helping human refugees. You know, in addition to building a magnificent wall, the elves also accepted the human southern pioneers, and the Gaoling Kingdom in the south of the mainland is almost established by the elves helping humans back then."

"So... if humans had known about the demon tide, they would have at least warned the elves," Heidi fully understood Gawain's doubts, "but Kamel didn't mention this at all... All he knows is the part that preserves human civilization."

"Kamel is just a technician, so he may not know all the high-level plans, but based on the information I have, I can be sure that the elves don't know the news of the magic tide." Gawain nodded, "At least... …their civilians know nothing about it.”

"All news has been blocked," Hetty took a light breath, "Most members of the rebellious plan have been blocked and stagnant in this fortress, their results have not been made public from beginning to end, and the royal family of Gondor has neither informed the public. The news about the demonic tide did not warn any races on the mainland. If it was said at the beginning that this was to control the news to prevent panic, it made sense, but until the demonic tide broke out, they were still controlling the news, which is somewhat incomprehensible Now...those who know the truth, what are they afraid of? Are they just worried about the panic of the people?"

"...I don't know," Gao Wen could only shake his head after being silent for a long time, "but I know that what they are afraid of must not be as simple as the demon tide itself..."

Gao Wen didn't tell Hetty all his doubts. In fact, apart from the unreasonable "information blockade" back then, he also felt that there was another violation in the whole incident: the ancient Gondor royal family's control over the scale of the demon tide. Judgment also seems to have gone wrong.

Judging by their last message to Fort Rebellion, they apparently believe that the last survivors of humanity in Fort Rebellion after the tide of evil - maybe even the last survivors of all mortal civilizations, when in fact 700 years ago Not to mention the destruction of the entire human civilization by the demon tide, even the Gondor Empire had a large number of refugees escaped from the wasteland.

In Tyre's words, what happened 700 years ago was just a "little devil tide".

The Gondor royal family at that time obviously made a wrong judgment. They mistook that demonic tide as a great demonic tide that could destroy the entire world...

But this misjudgment...is it really just a mistake caused by nervousness?Or is it that the magic wave that erupted 700 years ago... should have been enough to destroy the world?

Everything is a mystery now.

Kamel finished his final farewell. He came to Gao Wen and leaned down slightly: "I wasted a lot of time."

"It doesn't matter, we are also discussing something." Gao Wen stopped the discussion with Hetty, turned his head and nodded to Kamel, "Don't worry, I will collect every corpse here, and then bury them properly , the world will remember everyone's sacrifice."

"I would like to express my gratitude for them," Kamel said. "Then, I will open all the remaining sample vaults in the fortress. I hope these ancient things can come in handy in this era."

At the same moment, on the boundary line between Anzu and Typhon, the young commander of the Knights was standing in the tall command tower, standing in the room on the top of the tower, staring at the hazy road in the snow through the window. mountains.

Winter is coming, and a heavy snow has lasted from two days ago to today. In front of this natural power, even the dark mountains are covered with a layer of silver. A hazy curtain formed between the mountains, making the boundary between the mountain and the sky blurred.

Andersa Wendell knew that that mountain range led to that ancient, decayed, and dull kingdom. A group of mediocre old-fashioned people entrenched in that land, enjoying the protection of the glory of their ancestors, and blocking the re-emergence of human beings. path of.

This era should belong to the sharper, stronger, and more courageous changers. Typhon is such a changer. This great empire represents the glory of mankind and is the embodiment of the spirit of the ancient Gondor Empire—and Anzu almost It is the opposite of this series of brilliant spirits.

Not only was the kingdom corrupt, it even swallowed her father.

Andersa Wendell withdrew her gaze. Whenever there was heavy snow on the border, she couldn't help but think of her father who had passed away for many years. She was still young at that time, and her memory of her father was probably blurred, but The only thing she remembered clearly was that her father disappeared after such a heavy snowfall—disappeared in the wild land west of the fortress, without any news, and no one even saw the corpse.

One of the oldest and noblest families in the Typhon Empire has lost its best heir ever, but no one is responsible.

Andersa exhaled softly, all the emotional changes were hidden in her pair of light gray eyes, she lowered her head, looking at the letter that had just been opened on the table, the seal of Grand Duke Ferdinand was stamped on the letter , and the content on it is only half a page.

Just like in the past, there were no warm and affectionate words in grandfather's letters, but only admonitions and instructions from superiors to subordinates. Andersa had to read those blunt and short words carefully many times before she could see the hidden depths. A little bit of concern.

This time the letter was still reminding her to pay attention to the issue of border defense in winter, but it also talked about some changes in the situation in the imperial capital. The old duke still seemed to regard his granddaughter as a person who needed to be taught—even if Andersa He has become the youngest wolf general in the history of Typhon, but the habits that Duke Ferdinand has developed for most of his life are still not so easy to change.

Andersa glanced over the letter, and finally stopped at the few reminders at the end of the letter, which mentioned the "resurrected hero" that was spread recently, as well as instructions to Andersa herself, this The young General Wolf couldn't help frowning, finally sighed slightly, and said to the herald standing by the door: "Go and call Mr. Soldering."

A moment later, a blond elf walked into Andersa's room.

This is a typical pure-blooded silver elf, tall and thin, wearing a ranger's winter hunting suit, with fair skin and almost impeccable appearance, with long pale golden hair hanging behind his head, if not His Adam's apple and a hint of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes indicate his gender. This blond male silver elf is even more like an elegant and beautiful lady—from the appearance, this "beautiful gentleman" can't even be felt A little momentum of force.

However, Andersa knew the true strength of this silver elf, which made her, a strong human being who inherited the title of wolf general, amazed. Soldiers were the best hunters and scouts in the fort right now, and the best people she could think of for infiltration.

"Mr. Soldering," Andersa nodded slightly to the silver elf in front of her, "I have a task for you."

"Happy to help, Commander," the silver elf Solderin slightly lowered his head, with a smile on his face, "I haven't found a satisfactory prey for a long time since the beginning of winter."

Chapter 0245 Kamel's New Life

In less than a year, Knight Byron realized one thing deeply: some people do have a certain talent for making history and witnessing miracles, and these people are always keen to find the amazing things buried Secrets, they can always inadvertently come into contact with those opportunities that can change history. They seem to encounter the life and death of the world when they walk on the road. Their new lord, Gawain Cecil, seems to be such a person .

In just one day's work, the lord dug out another strange creature from the ruins - last time he dug out a big iron ball that could fly and talk, this time he dug up an ancient witch spirit that could fly and glow , I really don't know what new things the lord will dig out if he continues to toss in this ancient ruins, but Byron thought, even if he sees a giant dragon next to Gawain, he won't be surprised.

In order to improve the recovery speed of materials in the "deep area of ​​the rebellious fortress", Knight Philip, who had just returned from Kant Territory, was assigned to assist Byron in counting and transporting ancient materials before he had rested. In front of the running magic gate, I was amazed at the ancient fortress hidden in the shadow world, while Byron stood beside him, commanding the soldiers to carry the equipment and specimens that the lord requested to recover, while talking with his partner He sighed: "Tell me, how can our lord be so...so troublesome? How many strange things have happened to him in the past few months."

Philip didn't hear the ridicule in Byron's tone, but immediately reminded him very seriously: "Criticizing the lord casually in private is not what a knight should do—and isn't it a great fortune to be able to witness these miracles happen? "

"I'm not very interested in witnessing miracles. The more such things witness, the faster they will die." Byron snorted, then turned his head and continued to direct the soldiers to pack and seal the ancient items that had been brought out, and send them as soon as possible. Send them to the opposite side of the magic door.

This ancient fortress is a huge treasure house. Unlike the underground palace that has been evacuated in the modern world, everything here is extremely well preserved, and many magic devices are even still usable—although as long as you leave The special energy supply system here, most of them will also lose their function like the Gondor equipment after the magic tide, but those well-preserved ancient magic devices themselves are excellent research objects.

In addition to the intact ancient equipment, the wreckage samples stored in various laboratories are also of inestimable value. Gawain's order to Byron is to send all the things that can be transported to him in the shortest possible time. Go outside the magic gate.

These ancient relics will not be sent to the city. Gawain has already ordered to open up a place in the middle area of ​​the "Fortress of Disobedience" as a research and storage place for ancient relics.Of course, considering the number of researchers in the territory, these things can only be piled up in the warehouse for the time being.

The protective wall of the "deep zone" has been raised again, and the body of the giant deer Amorn has been isolated outside the facility. There are no other god tissue samples stored in the facility, and the fragments of the relics left by the "God Killer" There is no harm to ordinary people, so the recycling work can be safely handed over to the soldiers.

Philip was a man of few words, so Byron could only open the topic by himself: "Speaking of which, you have been busy between Kant Land and Cecil Land for the past two months. How is the situation there?"

Philip thought for a while, and replied sternly: "Padrik is a diligent and loyal person. Thanks to his efforts, the order in the Kant Territory has been fully restored, and it has developed well."

"You know that's not what I'm asking about."

Philip glanced at Byron: "... Kant Land will definitely become the property of the Cecil family, and the signs have already begun to appear. Now almost all civilians in Kant Land have regarded the Cecil Family as their natural protector and The ruler, all the merchants in the territory have been bought and integrated by Padrik, and the craftsman association has also accepted the employment of the lord, and started to build the road from Kant to Cecil - everything is just as the lord said at the beginning like that."

Byron smiled: "...there really is no gunpowder."

At the same time, in the lord's mansion of Cecil Territory, Gawain saw Kamel who had rested and looked refreshed.

After leaving the different space fortress that had been banned for thousands of years, Kamel seemed to be much more energetic-although he could no longer breathe air, and he could no longer feel the touch of the breeze blowing on his skin, but just seeing The sunshine itself was enough to cheer him up.

Of course, since he couldn't see the face of the ancient magister, Gawain judged his mental state based on the brightness of the other party.

In addition to Gawain and Kamel, there were also Rebecca and Hetty in the room. The former was circling around Kamel curiously at this time, staring at the rune armor on the latter. while the latter was holding a staff with a serious face, ready to hit Rebecca's head at any time—if the girl didn't refrain from her impolite behavior, Hetty would really be unable to resist going down with a stick to rectify her family It's windy.

"How does it feel to see the sun again?" Gawain smiled and nodded to Kamel, then looked at his great-granddaughter on the N+1 floor, "By the way, Rebecca, can you stop going around?"

"Please forgive this child's disrespect," Hetty said helplessly, "Her curiosity is a little...overexuberant."
