Sword of Dawn

Even a child can learn to detonate a crystal grenade, which can injure the body of a fifth-level extraordinary powerhouse.

This made Rebecca cheer loudly, and even the cheering tent could be heard far away.

Byron and Knight Philip, who were already walking outside the tent, couldn't help but glanced at each other when they heard the Viscountess's cheers.

"It seems that our eldest lady has been praised," Byron smiled. "She has been smiling every day recently."

"She used to smile every day." Philip didn't show any expression, just looked down at the little mute who was following Byron, "Besides anything else, you should take your 'adopted son' to wash and change clothes first. From today onwards, he is a member of the Cecil Land, and he is still the child of a knight, so he must pay attention to his image."

Byron showed a frowning expression: "Oh... who would have thought that I am so old, I don't have a wife, and I have to learn how to take care of my children first..."

On Gawain's side, after Rebecca and Hetty reported the situation in the territory for the past two days and left, he lowered his head and looked at the two things he had just placed on the table.

One is a shard of the Eternal Tablet, and the other... is a ring of mithril from a cultist.

Is a cult member of the Doom Society actually a big customer of Mithril Treasure... Maybe it's time to contact that my little pony lady.

Chapter 0134 What the fuck did I hear? !

Regarding the fragment of the Eternal Slate, Gawain has not yet thought of how to start researching it, but regarding the cultist wearing the Mithril Ring, Gawain felt that it is necessary to ask the agent lady from the Mithril Vault to find out.

After all, the other party had promised at the time that, as a major client of Mithril Treasure, he could consult her at any time—it was not in vain.

Moreover, the territory needs to be developed, and the Mithril Treasure may also be of some help. Gao Wen will not let go of anything that can help him.

He rubbed his own mithril ring, injected magic power into the ring according to the way Melita told him at the time, and with the vibration of his mental power, he felt that a delicate magic was activated in the ring, and the metal It started to heat up slightly, and a strange magic wave was released.

Looking at the slightly shining ring, he couldn't help but start thinking: What is the principle of this thing?

He has not yet been able to determine whether this world can use electromagnetic waves to communicate (probably not), but magic communication technology already exists. This is an ancient and mysterious skill that can make the originally closed magic circle realize external communication. Although the information exchange function is single, due to the lack of data on the original spell model and the existence of a technical black box, its spellcasting level is as high as level four, so Hetty can't use it.

Magic communication is limited by many factors. The level of the caster, the quality of the casting materials, the interference of the magic environment, and even the difference between day and night will affect its distance and effect. The most powerful magic communication device is the "Star of the Stars" at the top of the Temple of the Stars. "Eye" artifact, it can allow that floating city to send messages to the entire Silver Empire, but the exact principle of that, in fact, even the group of silver elves can't figure it out.

Gao Wen always felt that this kind of magic that can transmit information remotely may be related to the essence of the "magic environment" in this world, but the spell model and magic circle model of the communication spell belong to a kind of "black box", which is inherited from ancient times The things that come down, people know why they don’t know why, and they haven’t been able to optimize them for so many years, and they can’t figure out what the mechanism of those runes is. I'm afraid no one knows what "Gourd" looks like.

And this small mithril ring actually has the ability to send spells. The technical strength of the mithril treasure house seems very unusual...

Gawain thought about these things, and suddenly felt the ring vibrate, and then a slightly distorted young female voice came from inside: "This is Melita Bernia, Duke Gawain Cecil , very glad to receive your message, it seems that you are finally going to use the mithril treasury."

This thing also has a vibration reminder?Gao Wen was startled, and put the ring to his lips: "I want to consult you about something."

"Ah, as a senior customer of Mithril Treasury, all consulting services are free. What do you want to ask?"

"When your Mithril Treasure House selects big customers...do you have screening criteria?"

"Screening conditions?" The person on the opposite side of the ring seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Of course there are screening conditions. It is not so easy to become a big customer, but this involves a very complicated review process. Explain..."

Gao Wen interrupted Melita: "I don't need to explain in detail, I just want to know if I am a cultist, can I become your big customer?"

"Cultist? It depends on what kind of cultist it is," Melita said calmly. "Sometimes, cultists pay more generously than kings. As businessmen, we always welcome such generous customers." ..."

"Cultist of the Doom Society."

Melita's voice suddenly faltered, and after a second of silence, she said firmly: "The death of all things will not be included! We don't do business with them!"

Gao Wen was a little surprised, and asked, "Why?"

"The end of all things will be the most insane group of all cultists. Their ideas make it impossible for them to cooperate with any organization-the end of all things. In their eyes, everything is to be destroyed, including other heresies Sects, including the people who do business with them, even the gods and their own gods, we don't want to deal with this kind of lunatics-in fact, there are only two or three people in the whole world who deal with the end of everything. The same crazy dark sect, including the son of the storm who soaked in the sea all day and announced that the world will one day be swallowed by infinite distortion, and the group of eternal sleepers who have everything in their dreams, so their thinking is closer to the death of all things And they have the same strong tendency to self-destruct, so they can come together, who would deal with that kind of lunatic?"

After a long speech in a hurry, Melita then added: "Of course, it is not ruled out that the peripheral members of the Death of All Things Society may have business dealings with the Mithril Treasury while hiding their identities. After all, they are living people. The organization also needs to develop and operate, but they will definitely not be able to become a major customer of Mithril Treasure - they will not pass those strict assessments at all, and will definitely be exposed."

"But I have a mithril ring representing the identity of an important customer here, which I got from a cult member of the Death of All Things Society."

"No..." Melita probably wanted to say that this is impossible, but halfway through the sentence, she realized that it might be true regardless of the possibility, so she changed her words, "Have you confirmed the authenticity of the ring? The shape of the Mithril Ring is not special, maybe someone imitated it..."

"The material is the same as the real thing. It's too expensive to be an imitation. As for whether the inside is real...I can't verify the identity of this thing," Gao Wen fiddled with the cultist's card with the other hand The ring, said casually, "Is it possible that the cultists snatched it from someone else?"

"If the ring is real, it can't be snatched." Melita's tone became serious, "The Mithril Ring was designed with the risk of being stolen by people with bad intentions in mind, so it has identity recognition. After leaving the original owner, its function will be locked and cannot be used again, and if the thief takes the ring to the agent of Mithril Treasury to bluff, the agent of the treasury can immediately identify the state of the ring through secret methods... In other words, it is useless to snatch or steal it, and a cultist who is naturally vigilant cannot safely and boldly carry a magic item that suddenly expires automatically after being snatched."

Gao Wen stroked the ring in his hand: "That is to say, there really is a cult member of the Doom Society who has become your big client."

"Or the reverse is also true...a certain big man has degenerated into a cultist," Melita's voice became serious, "Duke Cecil, I will go to your place to confirm this in person, and it will be done within a few days." visit."

Although he knew that the Mithril Treasure House had great powers, Gao Wen asked casually, "Do you know how to get here?"

Melita's voice seemed to be filled with a smile: "Of course - as your exclusive agent, I have been paying attention to your actions."

When Gao Wen heard it, he couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body: Why does this sound so awkward...

After confirming that Miss my little pony will come over to check the situation in person, Gao Wen didn't intend to talk too much in the magic communication, and after a few casual words, he decided to end this communication: "The details will be discussed after you come over." , if there is nothing else, I will hang up first."

Melita's exclamation suddenly came from the ring: "You are going to die again?!"

Gao Wen: "...I mean end the arraignment!"

After cutting off the magic communication, Gawain's veins slowly subsided. Then he exhaled, put away the cultist's ring of mithril, and his eyes fell on the fragments of the eternal slate on the table.

Until now, he has not ventured to establish any spiritual connection with this "stone slab". Although he knows that this thing will not cause any real physical harm (after all, so many believers in this world are alive and well), but with It is too hard to say whether one's spirit will be affected after touching the Eternal Slate.

After Veronica's visit last time, Gawain became more wary of the gods in this world, especially when he saw the "priestess Sandy" who looked normal in the eyes of others and looked like a special light and shadow in his eyes. ", his guard was more suspicious of his own particularity.

He knows that he is a traveler from another world. Although the body is the original one here, the soul is not. Perhaps it is the deviation of the soul that caused the priestess in his eyes to become a holographic projection. Does this mean his "" "Vision" can see some things that ordinary people in this world can't see?

And the power of the Eternal Slate is likely to act directly on the soul. Will there be any big problems with his special soul?

With these thoughts in mind, he unconsciously turned the palm-sized metal plate over and over again. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the irregularly mosaic crystals on the back of the metal plate.

The crystals and the grooves on the metal plate combined to form complex lines. At first Gawain thought they were some kind of magic circle, but after careful observation, he found that those lines were completely different from the magic circle he knew. Now his attention was diverted from the unresolvable lines and settled entirely on the crystals of unknown material.

He felt that the material of those crystals was somewhat familiar.

After observing for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly got up to fetch some crystals.

A whole piece, a few broken ones—it was the mysterious crystals brought out from the capital that led him to re-establish contact with the satellite.

After comparing, he finally confirmed one thing: the small crystals inlaid on the back of the Eternal Slate... are exactly the same in material and appearance as the mysterious crystal left by Gawain Cecil back then!

Huge astonishment and doubts surged at the same time: The Eternal Slate is actually related to these crystals?And these crystals can help him reconnect with the moons in the sky... So are the eternal stones related to those moons?

He was thinking, and unconsciously fiddled with those crystals and the eternal slate inlaid with crystals, but when he didn't pay attention, the tiny crystals inlaid on the "slate" were slowly emitting light.

Gawain finally noticed those bright lights, his first reaction was to quickly move those crystals and eternal stone slabs away, but before he could take any action, a sudden dizziness stopped all his movements.

The sensations of the limbs became sluggish and numb, and the five senses and six senses seemed to be far away from him. Gao Wen felt as if his mind had been pulled away from his body. He could clearly see and hear the surrounding situation, but he felt that those auditory and visual senses did not belong to him. Like himself, he felt that his consciousness first floated up, and then sank infinitely, "immersing" into a strange and ethereal state, and the vague auditory hallucinations in his mind became more and more clear during this process...

Finally, he "heard" that a lot of strange "information" was emerging in his mind:

"...The annihilation team...return to the team and report the results of the battle..."

"It has been confirmed that the fire god has no life response, and the annihilation bomb has entered the field, over."

"...I observed...the dome of the holy light collapsed, and the god of the holy light has no life response...waiting for the command, it's over."

"Observed... the Temple of Mysteries is disintegrating, the Goddess of Mystery and Magic is escaping, and the Sixth Hunting Corps is leaving..."

"The God of Storms has no life response...began to destroy the Tempest Temple, over."

"The Eighth Heavy Bomber Fleet arrived at the designated coordinates... and started bombing the Kingdom of Shadow God, over."

"...the bombing fleet...is dismantling the Temple of the Dead...observed...disintegration of the Pale Barrier..."

"...Confirm that the god of death has no life response, and is heading to the domain of the god of war, over."

"...The God of Nature has no life response, over."

The extremely chaotic noise and the feeling of spinning around appeared at the same time, waking Gao Wen up from the "immersion state". He broke out of this weird state with sweat profusely, and then his face was bewildered, and his mind was full of horror——

What the fuck did I just hear? !

What the fuck did I hear? !

Chapter 0135 Gawain's Perception Problem

It took a full 5 minutes, but Gao Wen didn't regain his composure.

After recovering, he stared blankly at the fragments of the eternal stone slab in front of him, falling into a long-term lying state.

A huge amount of information echoed in his mind, and his mind was full of thoughts, jumping up and down like drunk amber. At this moment, Gao Wen felt that he had a thousand words stuck in his throat, but it was because the block was too solid. , as a result, he couldn't say a word...

There was only one thing for sure: he had indeed heard those things just now, and the slight dizziness caused by the "immersion state" still remained until now, which made him very sure of it.

So these are the contents recorded in the eternal stone?Is this the knowledge about gods?

Gawain looked at the light golden metal plate as if he had seen a ghost, and couldn't help shaking his head as soon as this idea came to his mind—impossible, what the mortal sages who first founded the religion heard in the eternal stone plate It's these things, after listening to these things, which brainless person would create a church for these gods who sound as if they have been killed by someone!

Then he wondered if it was a nasty joke, or some daring hoax.

But what's the point of this joke?Who would do such a scam?Who would concoct such content with what purpose?And most importantly - in such a primitive and backward medieval society, who with a big brain can make up the term "heavy bomber"? !

Gawain frowned, thinking about the meaning behind the information carried by the eternal slate, and deeply doubted whether what normal believers heard after touching these slates was the same thing.

After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision, and greeted the outside of the tent: "Betty! Go and call Philip, Hetty, and Amber."

After a while, the three came to Gao Wen's tent.

Gao Wen looked at the three people in front of him. These three people were the most reliable and faithful people he knew in the territory, and they could represent three different types of believers: Philip was a devout follower of the God of War sect , and even been baptized; Hetty is a formal believer in the goddess of magic, but has a relatively shallow degree of belief; Amber is a neurotic believer in the goddess of the night and the god of shadows.

Almost the three mental states of ordinary people after believing in God can be found in these three people...

Gawain put the fragment of the Eternal Slate on the table and pushed it forward: "You guys know what this is, right?"

"Shards of the Eternal Slate," Amber said logically, "I watched you carry this thing in your arms."

Because Hetty was not there at the time, she looked at the light golden metal plate very curiously at this time, but she had also learned about the fragments of the eternal stone plate from Gao Wen before, so she was not surprised at this time, just curious Looking at his ancestors, he didn't know what Gao Wen wanted to do.

"Get in touch with it," Gawain nodded, "touch it with your mental power—Philip, you come first."

Gao Wen was not worried that the "stone slab" would be harmful, because he had tried it himself, and apart from some horrifying information records, it would not cause long-term effects on the body, and even if the three of Hetty would really listen to the shards when they touched them. To the knowledge of the gods, because this fragment is very small, it will not brainwash the three of them into fanatics—otherwise, those kings, nobles and businessmen who used the slate fragments as collections would have all become fanatics long ago.

Philip showed a look of surprise and hesitation: "My lord, are you...really sure? You want to give me this opportunity?"

"I'm sure, but I have something to remind you," Gawain nodded, "No matter what you hear or see after touching the fragments, keep calm, even if you hear things that are contrary to your beliefs...don't Too excited, because this thing might be fake."

He took a vaccination first to prevent the pious knight Philip from collapsing after hearing something that shouldn't be heard, while Philip asked curiously as he approached the slab fragments: "Maybe it's fake?"

"I'm not sure, you can contact and try it first."

Knight Philip nodded, put his hand on the fragment of the stone slab, and activated his spiritual power to make a tentative connection with the fragment.

Almost immediately, Gawain felt a subtle change in the aura of the young knight. A vast, ancient and mysterious power seemed to envelope him, making him "sublimated". However, this aura In fact, it might just be an illusion, because Gao Wen didn't feel any change in Philip's own power, and the strange aura only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared.

After a while, Knight Philip opened his eyes. He glanced at the fragments of the stone slab with a surprised and excited expression, and then backed away slightly with joy on his face: "My lord, I seem to have heard the voice of the God of War. There is a kind of... description A sense of enlightenment and enlightenment that never came out flooded my heart, and I felt as if I had received some kind of blessing, and this blessing might be of great help to my future training in martial arts!"

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "That's all?"

"Yes, this is a feeling that is difficult to describe," Knight Philip nodded frankly, and then asked curiously, "But your lord just said that this may be false... Could it be that I have an illusion?"

"I'm just saying it might be fake, but judging by your reaction, there's a good chance it's real." Gawain's mood changed, but he didn't show his expression, he just looked at Heidi, "You have a try. "

Hetty nodded, and also stepped forward to put her hands on the fragments of the Eternal Slate.

This time, Gawain also felt a subtle change in Hetty's breath, but this change was more slight and short-lived, and Hetty also opened his eyes faster: "Ancestor, I feel like I have glimpsed some magic In terms of mysteries, there is also a vague sense of enlightenment, but it is not as obvious and profound as Philip Knight said. And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, this slate seems to be repelling my...contact, I just want to use that kind of enlightenment I felt like trying to think about a certain spell model, and the power of the slab fragments suddenly avoided, and there seemed to be a voice telling me to avoid contact with it..."

"Actively avoid it?" Gao Wen repeated in surprise, and suddenly felt that the situation was a little more complicated.

Is the goddess of magic different from other gods?Isn't her inheritance carried out through the eternal stone?

While thinking about it, he set his eyes on Amber, and before he could speak, the half-elf lady couldn't wait to come up to her: "Hey, it's my turn! It's my turn to see you all talking so mysteriously, Is this thing really that powerful?"

Before she finished speaking, she had already pressed her hand on the surface of the debris, then closed her eyes and held back her energy to establish a connection with the metal plate.

After a while, her brows were furrowed, her hands were getting more and more vigorous, her face was flushed red, and even the table was shaking slightly. Gawain saw the situation and quickly said, "Isn't it for you to use your mental power to connect?" You use your strength—you will push this thing into the table later, and you will be responsible for digging it out?"

"No response!" Amber opened her eyes all of a sudden, and took her hand away in frustration, "I used my mental strength! But there was no reaction at all, I didn't hear or feel anything... By the way, you two are acting to lie to us Are you two?"

Philip Knight: "How could it be! You can clearly feel a very obvious enlightenment!"

Hetty also frowned: "I can feel it too, although it's very weak..."

Amber looked suspiciously at the two people in front of her, and then at the metal plate on the table: "Could it be that this thing has limited energy? Once touched, it weakens once, so you two feel weaker and weaker, and I have no reaction now." ?”

Gawain immediately felt that what the girl said made sense, so he asked Knight Philip to try again on the spot, but the result was completely different from Amber's guess: Knight Philip was shrouded in that strange aura again, and Gawain even suspected that he would try again on the spot. After a while of contact with the fragments of the stone slab, it should turn into a fairy...

"It seems that Amber, you really can't resonate with the slate," Gawain shook his head, "Maybe it has something to do with the degree of religious piety, Philip is a devout believer, Hetty is an ordinary believer, and you are a neuro... shallow believer, this is probably The reason. By the way, are you really a follower of the Shadow God?"

"Yeah! Why not!" Amber suddenly puffed up her eyes, as if she was very dissatisfied with Gao Wen's questioning, "I have believed in the goddess for more than ten years! Let me tell you, although I have not been baptized, I haven't been to a church, but I have prayed hard every time I think of it, and the goddess has talked to me several times..."

Heidit looked Amber up and down questioningly: "Are you sure you are not hallucinations caused by drinking too much Shadow Potion?"

Amber jumped up immediately: "Don't think you can talk nonsense because you have big breasts!"

"Ahem, can you two stop arguing when you meet each other, and every time you quarrel about such a trivial matter?" Gao Wen interrupted the two with a headache, and waved his hands, "Okay, okay, I have nothing else to do Now, you go back and do your own work, I have to think about it."

The three of them, full of doubts, left the tent, leaving Gawain lost in thought while looking at the shards of stone on the table.
