Sword of Dawn

"What's the next part of the meeting? Can we move on?

"Do you need to wait for others to come back?"

Selina stared at Gawain who was sitting there indifferently, her expression did not change for a long time, until more than ten seconds later, she exhaled, looked into Gawain's eyes and said: "You really look like Gawain... Cecil."

"In a sense, I'm also Gawain Cecil," Gawain nodded, and said casually, "About this topic, if you have a chance, you can talk to Bertila."

He calmly responded to Selina's gaze, his gaze was calm.

He knew that this "Saint with the Lamp" was inseparable from Gawain Cecil's mysterious voyage 700 years ago. She may have known from the very beginning that something foreign had occupied Gawain Cecil's space. The body (although the term "extraterrestrial wanderer" had not yet appeared at that time), she may also know many details that even Gawain himself did not know, but these questions can be temporarily pressed, and you can slowly understand when you have time in the future.

"Beltera..." Selena frowned slightly, and repeated the name in a low voice, "She seems to have survived in some form..."

"Yes, it's not a secret, she is now a citizen of the Cecil Empire." Gawain nodded.

After another moment of silence, Selena slightly raised the lantern in her hand, and with an invisible force sweeping across the audience, layers of waves of light rippled in the messy conference hall, and the data destroyed by the psychic storm quickly disappeared. Restoration, those pillars, dome, ground and round table were restored to their original appearance in the blink of an eye.

Looking at this scene, Gao Wen couldn't help but said helplessly: "Actually, I just want to give you a surprise."

"...Surprised, not happy," came the voice of Megal III, who seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, "We always thought that we had kept a good distance from you, thinking that at least in this network It's safe, but..."

"Frankly speaking, your security measures did cause me a little trouble, especially after you reconstructed the mental barrier of the network and used various new security technologies, it became a lot more troublesome," Gao Wen He said casually, and calmly helped Daniel re-paste his vest, "Fortunately, I also have some understanding of the technical field, and your mental barrier...is not too difficult for me to break through."

Megal III was silent for a few seconds, and asked cautiously: "When did you enter... here?"

Gao Wen thought for a while, and said deliberately vaguely: "Sometimes, I will act together with you."

Silence, more awkward silence.

When this embarrassment became more serious, Megaul III finally spoke.

"Call the others back. Let's continue the... meeting.

"Tell Magnum to let him calm down before coming in."

Chapter 0796 Conditions of Cooperation

Under the summoning of Megoll III, the archbishops who had left the meeting hall returned here one by one, and the scene quickly returned to the state when the meeting was held normally before. At the round table.

This indescribable existence looked at everyone present with a smile.

Magnum was the last one to return. When his figure solidified beside the round table, his first reaction was to glance in Gawain's direction, and then he sighed while covering his forehead: "Damn... I thought it was Illusion... so what's the situation now? Have we been corrupted by extraterritorial wanderers before being polluted by the upper storytellers?"

There was a sense of broken jars in his tone.

Gao Wen smiled gently, and his eyes fell on Magnum: "I don't have the habit of polluting anyone—but if you are interested, I can try it too."

Gao Wen believed in the power of mathematical concepts such as the Riemann Hypothesis and Fermat's Last Theorem. He thought about using his high authority in the mind network to crush these knowledge and inject it in a chaotic way. In the surface memory of the target, the effect should be no worse than the spiritual pollution of evil gods...

And what he said with a gentle smile almost gave Magnum goose bumps.

Yuri, who was not in a good state, looked up at Magnum, and then at the "outsider wanderer" beside him, his face trembled a little. He really wanted to change seats immediately, but probably no one here would want to talk to him. Change—as an archbishop, he could only bite the bullet and continue to sit, feeling that his condition was a little worse than before.

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. I am not a monster that devours people, and I will not absorb your souls like a demon." After successfully invigorating the atmosphere, Gao Wen said with a smile, "I searched your spiritual network a little bit, and found that Some of your opinions about me are...interesting, and there are so many misunderstandings that you get too nervous about me.

"I'm not interested in your souls or lives. I came to this world just to..."

When Gao Wen said this, he suddenly paused, glanced at Selina Geerfen who was not far away, and continued after thinking for a while:

"It's just to enjoy a journey with peace of mind and fulfill a promise."

Originally, he just wanted to say "Enjoy a journey", but before he said it, he suddenly remembered Gawain Cecil's mysterious voyage, the "soul transaction", and Selina who might know some of the inside story Geerfen, in order to establish initial trust and clear obstacles to future actions, he deliberately added the word "promise".

Even though he himself didn't know what this so-called "promise" was, Selena knew that it was enough.

Everything was as Gao Wen expected. After the last sentence fell, the archbishops at the scene seemed a little dazed, but Selina Geerfen suddenly changed her eyes slightly and glanced this way.

As for Megal III floating in mid-air... Gawain still doesn't know how to judge the expression of the ancient pope, although he thinks that the expression changes of this "starlight aggregate" should have some similarities with Kamel However, the color spectrum of the two seems to be different... Kamel hasn't turned black so far.

At the same time that Gao Wen's voice fell, Daniel also received a secret message, and the "Eternal Sleeper Security Supervisor" stood up, looked at Gao Wen with disbelief and fear, and said in a trembling tone: " You... can see what we put in the Psychic Web..."

Gawain looked at Daniel, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's a pity that this acting skill can't be devoted to the career of magic shadow drama.

"Your spiritual network is not a secret to me," he nodded while feeling emotional in his heart, "Of course, I don't have a hobby of spying on privacy, I just found something that interests me, you don't have to Worried about my memory being read by me."

During the conversation, Gao Wen continued to strengthen his strange and powerful image in the mental field as a "rogue outside the territory", emphasizing his control over the mental network.

After a long period of arrangement, it was finally time to uncover the disguise. He decided not to cover up, but to make himself appear more difficult to fight, so that he could hold the initiative in his own hands to the greatest extent. As for whether this would make The Eternal Sleepers are jealous... don't worry about it at all.

I am already a "rogue outside the territory", so I still need to care about my "people-friendly image" in front of the eternal sleepers?It's better to continue to strengthen this personality, anyway, in fact, I have almost penetrated their spiritual network.

The faces of the archbishops became more or less ugly. This feeling that their own secrets and lifelines are in the hands of others is obviously bad, especially for those who have been in the top positions of the sect for a long time, but After a brief silence, they still calmed down.

They have been working hard for hundreds of years and generations with "God" as their imaginary enemy.

Compared with personal emotional ups and downs, they are more able to bear the pressure that ordinary people are unwilling to bear for the overall situation.

"Then, since you've been 'watching'..." A dignified female archbishop with half-elven features sighed, looked at Gawain and said, "We don't need to talk anymore. About the upper narrative What is your attitude?"

Watching the archbishops at the scene adjust their mentality so quickly, and seeing their performance in front of him, a "rogue outside the territory", Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

These are all excellent talents, but unfortunately, they took the wrong path.

He knows that he may not be qualified to judge whether the path of civilization development is right or wrong, but at least from the position and perspective of a ruler, he cannot tolerate the line of every dark sect.

Fortunately, the Eternal Sleeper has not let things get out of hand like the End of Everything, and he still has room to intervene.

"As I said just now, I agree with Selina Geerfen," Gao Wen said slowly, "For the 'monster' brewed in the No. [-] sandbox, my opinion is: it must not let it break through the confinement , let alone let it dominate the real world in the state of a god.

"There are enough gods in this world, and each one means trouble. We don't need to add another.

"Under this premise, we can cooperate."

"So what kind of cooperation do you want?" Archbishop Yuri stood up bravely, "Are you willing to take action against the No. [-] sandbox? Do you need our cooperation?"

"It's easy to talk to smart people," Gao Wen nodded with a smile, and then said while thinking, "I don't know much about sandbox No. The reliance is that the mental pollution in the No. [-] sandbox should have no effect on me. As for your cooperation...I'm afraid I need more than just cooperation."

As Gao Wen spoke, he slowly raised his head and looked around at everyone present.

"I need you to strictly obey my arrangements. This is the case during the operation. After the operation is over and the crisis in the No. [-] sandbox is lifted, you must also...be recruited by me."

After he finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair and watched the archbishops present shaken and discussed in a relaxed and onlooker manner.

He seemed very confident about the No. [-] sandbox, in order to increase his bargaining chips in this negotiation, but his self-confidence did not come out of thin air——

As a "satellite spirit", his mental structure is extremely special, and he almost naturally restrains all attacks and pollution on the mind in this world. The mental pollution in the No. [-] sandbox should be no exception. ", he has a certain degree of "natural enemy effect" on the gods of this world, including the relics of the gods, and even the remains of the gods themselves, and the upper narrator level that has not yet fully formed in the No. [-] sandbox should not beyond this level.

Even if he was a little pessimistic, the situation in the No. [-] sandbox was weirder than he had imagined, and the upper-level narrator escaped from imprisonment and became a god earlier than he expected, and he still had a plan.

He has asked Tire to send a message to the Siren Queen, indicating that there may be additional meals in the near future.

To be honest, if the upper-level narrator stays in the depths of the dream and does not have a "medium" to enter the real world, the situation is indeed a bit tricky. After all, the invisible and qualityless spiritual pollution is the most difficult to deal with, but if the "god" Came to the real world recklessly, and obtained the foundation of the real world...

There is a saying, once the blood bar lights up, then the matter is much simpler, throwing it to those sea monsters is just a matter of sloppy gnawing...

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that all means will fail, and even the sea monsters will not be able to fight against the upper-level narrator. A malicious true god will directly descend and destroy the world. Gao Wen is also prepared for this:

He will try to warn the Dragon Clan, and even be prepared to face another "Battle Against the Tide", so that everyone can die with dignity...

You can't blame him for being pessimistic, the main reason is that you have to make all mental preparations before you can face the gods—most of the rebels in the past also devoted themselves to that terrible cause with a similar will.

In the hall, there was a lot of discussion, and the high-level executives of the Eternal Sleeper obviously couldn't accept the conditions proposed by Gao Wen for a while.

Gao Wen just smiled, sat in his seat, and waited for their discussion to come to an end.

Some things must be explained in advance, otherwise, after the matter is resolved, there will only be embarrassment and suspicion.

But on the other hand, taking over a dark sect through a crisis is beyond his imagination. Even at this moment, he is not sure that he will succeed. Even if the situation is stronger than others, it is difficult for him to rely on it once A deal, a crisis, and a few empty words made one of the three dark sects bow down to him—even if he was an "outsider wanderer" in their minds.

Rather, it was his identity as a "rogue outside the territory" that made the eternal sleepers resist even more.

After all, they have worked so hard for so many years to break free from one shackle—they would not welcome another shackle to fall on their heads.

Finally, the discussions in the hall gradually subsided, and eyes fell on Gao Wen first, and then on Megaul III who was in mid-air.

The latter finally spoke after a long silence.

"This so-called 'incorporation'... What exactly are you going to do?"

"As I said, I'm not interested in your lives or your souls, but I don't allow a dark sect to continue to exist in the order I'm promoting—of course, I know that your main area of ​​activity is Typhon, but My order doesn't have to be only in Cecil," Gawain said unhurriedly, "I will reform you, from the entire church to each of you; I will judge many people, because you committed crimes as heretics. I have committed a lot of sins, but if you actively accept reform, I will allow most of you to live to pay for these sins; I will also promise that under the new order and laws, you can still devote yourself to your cause - don't you want to To break the shackles left by the gods? Go ahead, because I'm interested in that too."

Gao Wen paused for a moment when he said this, and smiled.

"In a sense, this is a brighter future for you—as a dark sect, you will have the opportunity to return to the sun, and all you have to pay is to accept 'transformation'.

"Finally, let me add one more thing: I am not a god, and I will not become a new god. You can serve me as you would a mortal king, without worrying about getting a new shackle."

After Gao Wen finished speaking, the hall fell into a short silence.

The archbishops are waiting for Megal III to make a statement.

Selina Geerfen's eyes kept falling on Gao Wen.

"We can't give you any answer right now," the squirming starlight aggregate finally said, "We hope to have an uninterrupted and unmonitored discussion, and we will tell you the result at the next meeting."

Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

Expected.

Obviously, it will not be so easy to recruit these eternal sleepers.

But as long as Megal III showed an inclination to discuss, things were already moving in the direction Gawain hoped for.

"A reasonable choice," Gao Wen said indifferently. He slowly stood up and glanced across the audience, "But I also want to remind you - you don't have much time, and the upper-level narrators won't wait for you."

"We are very clear about this," Megal III said in a deep voice, "but we must also emphasize one point - no matter what the conditions you put forward, all of this will not take effect until the matter is truly resolved. If the crisis of the sandbox cannot be resolved, even the cooperation itself will be meaningless.”

"Of course..."

Gao Wen said with a smile, and as the words fell, his figure gradually disappeared in the hall.

It wasn't until the burly figure full of majesty disappeared, and the hall was quiet for several minutes, that an archbishop couldn't help breaking the silence: "This time...he really left, right?"

"I don't know..." Yuri said with an ugly face, and moved his body unnaturally, as if his condition was still not very good, "I always feel... there are still people around me."

Magnum thought for a while: "How about I try throwing a Psychic Storm?"

"Damn it! That's enough! Your Psychic Storm can only hit your own people here, and has no effect on wanderers outside the territory!"

Gawain, who only hid his figure and never left, sat beside Archbishop Yuri and nodded in agreement.

Chapter 0797

After breaking away from the spiritual network, Gao Wen felt quite regretful.

Although he secretly stayed in the meeting hall before, wanting to listen in on what the eternal sleepers will discuss afterward, but the development of the matter was difficult——

The group of eternal sleepers actually announced the end of the meeting, and then they went offline one by one.

But when he turned his head and thought about it, he could only express his understanding—for such an important matter, anyone needs to calm down and think about it before making a decision, not to mention that he, a "rogue outside the territory", was just scared at the meeting. Everyone jumps, even if the archbishops of the Eternal Sleeper are strong psychologically, it is inevitable that there will be some psychological shadows if they continue to discuss in the same conference venue. have any effect), these are normal.

Moreover, Gawain suspects that the round of Psychic Storm that Archbishop Magnum exerted with all his strength should not have a small impact-at least one-third of the archbishops returning from the meeting should be recuperating from their injuries, at least that Archbishop Yuri will definitely need it. Self-cultivation and self-cultivation, after all, he didn't seem to be in a good mental state during the second half of the meeting...

The short-term dizziness subsided quickly, and Gawain let out a foul breath, and the familiar ceiling and room furnishings became clear in his sight.

It's already late at night.

A layer of quiet night enveloped the room, and some starlight spilled into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The brass decorative lamp stand, desk and wooden lattice on the wall not far away were bathed in starlight, and looked hazy in the dim light. All seemed quiet and peaceful.

Only the faint sound of breathing came from a corner of the room.

The power of the shadows gathered in that corner, as if swallowing the starlight, and condensed into a mass of still darkness. Gawain glanced over there, and could only vaguely see that Amber, who was sheltered by layers of shadow power, was half lying down and half lying down. Leaning on the easy chair, I slept very peacefully.

"Is it called the God's Choice of the Dark Night..." Gawain couldn't help muttering softly, "Sometimes I really doubt that her 'God's Choice' is real... But does this guy have a 'divine nature' in his temperament?"

He just muttered a word like this, but it woke up Amber, who has "a keen sense of six senses". The darkness in the dark corner dissipated instantly, and a petite figure appeared on the empty chair, with a pair of amber eyes in the darkness. Looking over: "Hey! Are you awake? I thought you were going to sleep all night!"

"It ended earlier than expected," Gawain nodded, "What time is it now... Even if you ask, you don't know. You sleep more soundly than I do."

"It's just past midnight—I'm very sensitive to time," Amber said casually, and got up and turned on the switch of the magic spar lamp. Bright but not dazzling light emanated from a few small lamps on the wall, quickly dispelling the room. The darkness also broke the quiet starlight, "How is the situation 'over there'?"

Gao Wen thought for a while, then shook his head with a subtle smile on his expression: "...a lot of things have happened, I'm afraid I have to talk about it slowly."

Amber waved her hand when she heard this, and walked towards the door: "Then talk slowly—I'll find the night attendant to go to the kitchen to get some food, you haven't eaten dinner yet. By the way, I'm hungry too... Huh , slept for half a day in one breath, really tired..."

Gao Wen: "..."

The attendant on duty at night quickly brought a lighter supper, and Gao Wen told Amber about his experience in the spiritual network.

Of course, he deliberately played down his several "skinky" operations - not because he was worried that these operations would affect his image in front of Amber, after all, few people in this guy's mind had a normal image, mainly because he Knowing Amber, once he said those operations, this guy's attention might be attracted immediately, and then it would be difficult for him to bring the topic back on track for at least half an hour...

After hearing what Gao Wen said, Amber was stunned for several seconds.

"The gang of eternal sleepers... really made a big mess..." The half-elf lady stared at her eyes, "It actually allowed that thing to seep out of the No. [-] sandbox? This is really..."
