Sword of Dawn

Gawain glanced at Amber next to him, then sat down on the armchair beside the desk, and said with a solemn expression: "Amber has performed 'treatment' on Mordir, and through her unique talent in the shadow field, we can find a way Controlled the process of 'alienation' in Mordir. Although the mechanism is unknown, we may have activated part of the missing memory of the great adventurer by coincidence - he mentioned the tower, and... mentioned a 'loophole' .”

Heragor frowned instantly: "A loophole?"

Gawain nodded, and explained in detail what happened to Mordir, he did not miss any details, especially those things mentioned by Mordir in a state of confusion—although the great adventurer said Many of the things mentioned seemed incomprehensible to Gawain and Amber, but if it was Heragor, maybe this "half god" who had lived for a long time could hear some clues from those fragmented descriptions.

"He recalled that tower..." After listening to Gawain's narration, Heragor's brows furrowed further, and he spoke slowly in his thoughts, "And it sounds like he recalled not only that tower, There seems to be another place that is closely connected with that tower in his memory..."

"Yes, he mentioned 'another entrance'," Gawain nodded, "neither Amber nor I understood what he was referring to, nor did he himself—but according to the information we have so far, Mordir Wilder’s trip to Tarrond only went to the Tower of Against the Tide, and then he was sent back to Loren Continent by the Dragon God. After that, he never mentioned anything related to the Tower of Against the Tide in his travel notes Relevant records, unless... the 'another entrance' he was referring to was on the continent of Loren, and his journey to the other entrance took place long after leaving Tarrond—in his handed down book The period not recorded in the "Modir's Travels"."

"Entrance...holes...the key is what these words mean," Heragor said in a low tone, "he must have seen something in that tower, and what he saw was hidden from the people of the past." ...the gods."

"That's exactly what I'm going to confirm in that tower," Gawain nodded and said, "Arrange our journey to the Western Continent as soon as possible, the sooner the better—according to the previous timetable, the Winter is coming soon. , it will stop directly on the sea between the Tower of the Against Tide and the west coast to meet us. In addition, I also need you to arrange some dragons with strong fighting power to serve as backup. The Winter can serve as an outpost for the giant dragon in human form. It can also provide fire support - if it is a 'pollution' related to the gods, I can try to solve it, and if some of the more conventional 'hostile units' emerge from that tower, we may need the cover of the dragon troops."

"Are you planning...to 'fight' against the legacy left by the Voyager?" Heragor glanced at Gawain in surprise.

"Just in case, what if some out-of-control ancient weapon emerges from that tower? To deal with that kind of thing, regular troops should still be able to come in handy," Gawain shook his head, "But if the situation is really completely out of control , then the conventional forces are definitely not the opponent - I have to resort to some 'ultimate measures'."

Heragor took a deep look at Gawain - he knew what the "ultimate means" the other party was talking about.

"I will arrange it immediately," the dragon leader said in a low tone. "In fact, I have already started to arrange it before you come here-Melita will go with you, and bring the current Agondor The most elite fighters."

Gawain remembered that Heragor had taken the initiative to bring up the Tower Against the Tide as soon as he entered the door, and then he glanced at Melita thoughtfully: "It seems that you also found something here... what happened? What's wrong?"

"Dragonling," Melita exhaled softly, and said with a hint of worry in her expression, "Last night, it seemed that Meili and Noelle were attracted by some invisible force, facing the tower of the Tower Against the Tide. Fang Xiang yelled loudly for a long time, and then the 'magic marks' on their bodies nearly doubled overnight..."

"Two little guys?!" Gao Wen was a little nervous for a moment. After all, he watched the two young dragons grow up, so he was naturally concerned at the moment, "Are they okay?"

"Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any problem with the body," Melita nodded and said, "and the situation has stabilized in the morning, but what is disturbing is... the two of them are not the only ones who have problems."

Amber on the side couldn't help interjecting when she heard this: "It's not just the two of them?"

"The same thing happened to all the young dragons with the 'Dark Blue Demon Mark' on their bodies," Heragor's voice came from the side, his voice was low and powerful, "at the same time, the same 'symptom': the marks on their bodies The scale was enlarged, as if it was resonating with some invisible source of power, and it was restless towards the direction of the Tower Against the Tide. It was not until the morning that the situation gradually stabilized. Although there is no problem with the body, but..."

The leader of the dragon tribe put his hands on the table, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and looked at Gao Wen with a particularly solemn expression: "At first, we thought that those magic marks appeared only because the dragon eggs were affected by the surge of magic power inside the dark blue webway. 'mark' on the whelpling, but now I have to suspect... there's a deeper reason for that thing to be there."

"When did the abnormal state of the young dragon begin?" Amber suddenly asked Melita.

"I knew you would ask this," Melita nodded. "It's almost after you finished the 'treatment' of Mr. Mordir."

"...Okay, then this matter is 'interesting'," Amber's mouth twitched, "tell me, when are we going to leave?"

Melita took a breath, looked at Amber and Gao Wen: "Now."

……

At the same time, the buffer plain on the border between Typhon and Cecil, the Fort of the Treaty.

The bright arcane flames gushed out from the tops of the three energy towers, and were gathered and focused under the action of a series of restraint devices and diversion devices, and then poured into the energy conduits and magic energy crystals. The energy device floated slowly in the morning light, and began to spin with a low hum.

The cold and swift wind blows from the direction of the northern mountains, but before approaching the Fort of the Contract, they will be deflected and dispelled by the huge energy field circulating here, turning into disordered turbulence, and sweeping wantonly in the wilderness near the castle ——Sand dust and dry grass blades were rolled into the air, roaring and circling in the desolate wilderness, and in the face of this sudden change of celestial phenomena, the birds and beasts living in the wilderness had already taken refuge in advance.

Since the second era of pioneering, the most powerful and purest energy system created by human beings has been successfully ignited in the depths of this cold plain. The huge energy unimaginable by the mages of the old era gathered here. And began to be guided to the center of the entire facility according to the plan, leading to the portal placed in the main hall of the castle, as well as layer after layer of protective barriers around the portal and... fuse units.

In the main hall of the castle, various magical devices have been activated, and the giant magic array covering the entire floor and the entire dome is emitting a constant and gentle radiance; the walls around the hall are distributed with orderly energy conduits, one after another Pure arcane flames flow endlessly in those energy conduits, and silver-white alloy "magic rails" extend from under the floor, connecting those energy conduits and the power center buried underground; more than ten control nodes are distributed In various areas of the hall, the bases of those nodes are made of expensive and precise alloys, above which floats magic crystals or magic terminals that can be used to monitor the portal.

The busy technicians are busy or passing through these devices that are daunting to ordinary people, checking all the systems for the last time, and Kamel is floating in front of the portal. Feng's legendary mage Windsor Maple.

Command voices came from all over the hall:

"All energy towers have been successfully ignited! The output power has reached the standard value - the readings of the arcane energy conduit are stable!"

"The state of the power rail is normal, the connection of each energy rail is normal, the primary conversion is normal, and the secondary conversion is normal!"

"The inverter array is on standby, ready to withstand the impact of divine power at any time..."

"The protection systems are normal—the mental protection system has been activated, the human barrier has been activated, and it has been connected to the neural network... After receiving the identification code of the Cecil Empire Computing Center, the signal feedback is normal!"

"The psychic singer is on standby..."

Kamel raised his head slightly, and the successive voices of passwords seemed to be fading away. He looked at the portal that had entered the "warm-up" state, and saw bright lights jumping between its curved skeletons. The blue fire light, and the alloy ring full of runes is slowly floating to the top of the gate. In the slightly distorted light and shadow in the center of the device, he seems to see some pictures that have long been buried in the depths of his memory. The figure of the world...

"Finally..." Windsor Mapel's voice came from the side, with unconcealable excitement and emotion in his tone, "We have finally waited for this day... 200 years, Typhon has been silently preparing for this for 200 years ..."

"The disobedient has been waiting for a thousand years for this day, ma'am," the yellowed images in Kamel's mind gradually dissipated. The pioneers who have struggled and failed in the past seasons of civilization, the group of 'mortals' will probably wait longer for this day."

Windsor Mapel nodded slightly, and her eyes looked at the wonderful runes set up on the ground near the portal, the magic net terminals set up in every corner of the hall, and those who were waiting not far away, wearing Soldiers Cecil with strange light armor floating in the air couldn't help asking: "Can these protections resist the 'pollution' that may occur during the experiment?"

"Theoretically, the Kingdom of God of War is 'harmless' to our mortals this season, even if we face the body of God of War right now, we won't be polluted," Kamel said seriously, "Of course, if you say it's an accident ——We must always be prepared for the unexpected. These protective runes have been tried and tested, and your majesty can confirm their effects, and those magic net terminals can broadcast the "psychic song" constantly echoing in the neural network to the entire Experimental facility, this kind of penetrating psychic shock has a more active and powerful purification and protection effect than protective runes, and those soldiers... They are psychic singers, specially trained to fight against divinity Polluted special units, on the battlefield of Winterhold, they have directly confronted the divine power of the God of War, and they have been tested in actual combat."

Listening to Kamel's narration, Windsor Mapel nodded slowly, but she still couldn't help but look at the positions of those "psychic singers" and at the floating behind them with a diameter of several Mi, a strange floating device tightly wrapped by a layer of metal shell, his brows could not help but frowned: "What is that thing? Is it also a part of the defense system? I haven't seen any description about it in the previous materials." ..."

"Ma'am, this is classified content—even if we are working closely together, some things are not easy to disclose." Kamel's voice seemed to have a hint of a smile, "I can only tell you that that thing is spiritual. An important support for the singers to play a role, and also a good partner of our Cecils - if the cooperation between our two countries can be closer and the technical exchanges in the future can be further improved, they may appear on our trade list Come on, when the time comes, you will naturally know what it is."

Chapter 1256 Explorer's Perspective

At [-]:[-] noon, the last set of confinement rings of the portal was warmed up.

In the center of the hall of the Treaty Fort, runes wandered on the huge alloy base, and the full magic radiance flowed along the energy conduits and the guide metal tracks, and was continuously injected into the curved metal arm above the device. The ring full of runes and crystal structures has floated to the top of the portal device, and in the center of the "cage" structure surrounded by the ring, base, and metal arms, a distorted space with a diameter of several meters is gradually taking shape.

The distorted space looks like a perfect sphere, and it seems to be filled with some kind of crystalline substance. The light from far away is deflected on the surface of the sphere, and all kinds of bizarre illusions are outlined, which makes it look like a A crystal ball lens, or an extremely smooth metal sphere, actually has no physical structure at all—the spherical surface is an abnormal optical phenomenon produced by space folding, and what the wandering light and shadow outline is actually another The "viewpoint" under the dimension.

Kamel and Windsor Mapel stared at the huge portal device, listening to the low hum echoing in the entire hall, all the protection systems had been activated, and the psychic singers who were ready to go also came to the portal , a technician wearing a heavy-duty protective robe with deep-sea runes engraved on the surface of the protective robe came to the two commanders and said that all systems were ready.

When it was time to give the order, Windsor Mapel turned her gaze to Kamel beside her.

"You should issue this order," the legendary Typhon mage said solemnly, "for the rebels thousands of years ago, for the pioneers who fell on the road of exploration."

Kamel stared at Ms. Windsor. He knew that he should not refuse at this moment, so after two seconds, he nodded slightly and looked at the controllers who were on standby.

"'Humanity Barrier' switched to the active broadcast mode, and the psychic singer began to resonate," the disobedient from the ancient Gondor Empire said loudly, and the calm and powerful voice echoed throughout the hall, "Activate the portal!!"

As Kamel's voice fell, there was a sudden "hum" sound in the entire hall, followed by a low-to-high humming sound from the huge portal base, and the huge energy had been accumulated for a long time , at this moment, they are guided to be injected into the God of War fragments located underground in the hall, and then released into the surface structure of the gate through a series of complex conversion and projection links. The huge energy surge even affected the lighting in the hall, and the magic spar The light emitted by the lamp flickered on and off, and everyone felt the hairs on the surface of the skin stand up, and a cold feeling flowed through the nerves——

Then, everything quickly reached a balance. The well-designed load system resisted the energy peak at the initial stage of the portal activation, and the cooling system buried under the device began to release a huge amount of heat to the outside of the hall. The heat dissipation grilles were opened at the same time, and the rising steam rose into the sky along with the magic glow in the distance. In the hall, before Kamel's eyes, the "ball" with a diameter of several meters in the center of the portal had stretched and solidified into a regular shape. A circular "mirror surface", a splendid and magnificent scenery emerges in the center of the mirror surface.

Everyone's eyes in the hall could not help but fall on the glorious scenery shown in the mirror, and at the same time, everyone's nerves tensed up subconsciously. The commander of the security protection team responded immediately and broke the hall loudly. The silence in the middle: "Protection team, check the divine pollution, and the personnel of all departments pay attention to their own mental stability!"

Soon, the voice of response came from the various responsible personnel: "No divine erosion or spiritual pollution has been found!" "The vision and hearing of each group are normal, and the protective filter has no response!" Still going on!"

The bright radiance on Kamel's body has almost stagnated since just now, and it was not until this time that the full arcane radiance resumed its flow. He really wanted to breathe a long sigh of relief, but he had no lungs—so he could only After flashing twice quickly, he turned his gaze to Windsor Mapel beside him: "Ms. Windsor, the first step has been successful!"

"Yeah...we really opened this portal!" Windsor Mapel looked at the image that emerged from the "mirror" with some ecstasy, and said excitedly, "That...could it be God of War kingdom?"

"The door has indeed been opened, but whether it is the Kingdom of God on the other side needs to be verified," Kamel's steady and powerful voice came from the side, causing Windsor to quickly regain his composure from the excitement, "as planned, send the first 'Explorer'."

Windsor nodded immediately, turned around and gave instructions to the technicians on call: "Bring 'Explorer' here."

After a while, several technicians came to the portal, and behind them, followed closely by a strange-looking golem who was only about one meter tall.It was a self-discipline mechanism made of brass, with a round body and several arthropod-like legs. In addition to engraving magic symbols on the copper shell, deep sea runes and crystal lens structures could also be seen. There is also a "head" with a long handle and three "arms" extending from the copper shell, and all of these are driven by the exquisite mechanical structure and its core magic mechanism.

Kamel couldn't help but linger on the golem for a moment, and Windsor beside him said with a smile, "The pinnacle creation in the traditional magic field-maybe not as powerful and cheap as the magic device. , but in this case it has its role."

"...I see some technical shadows of the Iron Man project," Kamel whispered, "Its knuckle coupler is Moore-76 style."

"Yes, we still learned something from Gondor's iron man technology," Windsor smiled lightly, with a little pride in his tone, and then raised his hand, "Let the explorer enter the gate!"

Under everyone's expectant, nervous, and worried gazes, the magic puppet made of brass took steps, its jointed limbs that were easy to move in various terrains creaked, and walked towards that place without fear. The circular "lens" with faint brilliance is flowing - it steps into it, and the mirror surface ripples layer by layer, and then the explorer seems to have passed through a layer of water curtain, and the figure has appeared on the portal. The other side is up.

When the explorer completely passed through the "lens", Windsor immediately turned to the control mages in front of the portal: "How about it, can you still track it?"

"Okay, Master Windsor," a control mage nodded immediately. There was a magic projection floating beside him, which clearly showed the scene in the "seeker's" field of vision. From that scene, the first thing that caught his eye was It is an extremely wide boulder square and a grand building standing in the distance. "The signal has successfully passed through the portal. I can see it clearly."

Kamel was paying attention to all this, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do if the signal can't pass through the portal? What if the explorer loses contact with the outside world after entering the Kingdom of God?"

"We have a plan," Windsor Mapel nodded immediately, "If the control signal from the rear is interrupted, the explorer will judge the action flow by itself, and it will patrol and collect data in a limited area near the portal, collecting a small number of samples , and return by itself after a specified time—and if it senses that it has been contaminated with something harmful, it will immediately self-destruct.”

Kamel nodded, and did not ask in detail what the "harmful things" judged by the puppet were, because this part of the information was publicly circulated within the Theocracy Council, and its source was several senior advisers of the council——in " The List of Harmful Things in the Kingdom of God", including but not limited to substances that act on their own, disordered light and shadow color products, activated shadows, and any things with the above characteristics, basically as long as they cannot exist in the real world and can cause harm to ordinary people. Things that are mentally polluted and have a tendency to actively spread are all "harmful things" that may breed in the Kingdom of God.

His gaze returned to the side of the portal, back to the mages responsible for controlling the explorers, and stared at the holographic projections floating between the mages—the explorers had already left the area where the portal could directly see. People on "this side" can only use these holographic projections to judge the environment around the puppet.

He saw a very wide space, most of the ground in the space was paved with huge stones, and he saw some majestic buildings in the distance, the outer walls of those buildings glowed with iron gray luster, Its top seems to be decorated with polished spears, swords or shields, etc. These scenes reminded many people at the scene of the scene described by the believers of the God of War:

In the domain of the God of War, magnificent palaces and cities stand on the boulder land. The most exquisite weapons and armors in the world are decorations that can be seen everywhere in the city. You can fight to the death, and you can enjoy food and wine all night in the palace of the God of War. Everyone has palaces and temples, as well as eternal and glorious life.

Now, they have seen the earth made of huge stones, the iron palace and the weapons and armor decorated on the palace - if the explorer goes on, he will probably find the arena that fits the description of the mythical texts and the place to enjoy food and wine. A place to feast.

"It's very broad...it's exactly the same as what they described in the classics..." A mage Typhon was a little surprised to see the influence from the explorer, and couldn't help whispering to himself.

"Of course it will be the same, because the Kingdom of God of War was originally 'drawn' by believers," Windsor Mapel said lightly, her eyes never leaving the holographic projection next to the portal, and she suddenly sighed, "Broad, But it's empty... there's no one there, so is it possible that God of War wanders around in such an empty city?"

"Perhaps it only became like this after the fall of God of War," Kamel said while thinking, "When He was alive, it might be very lively here."

"Is a group of imaginary phantoms accompanying an imaginary god? And besides fighting, you can only drink every day..." a Cecil magician muttered, and couldn't help shaking his head, "It doesn't sound like that. What a wonderful life..."

"Grey," Windsor Mapel frowned slightly at this time and said, "Control group, can the explorer observe the sky of the Kingdom of God?"

"Of course, the perspective is adjusting—the explorer is starting to look up."

Accompanied by the voice of the manipulator, the picture presented in the holographic projection began to move, and the "sky" shrouded in the kingdom of God gradually occupied most of the picture.

A boundless, vast, chaotic, and deep space, without any sun, moon, or stars, appeared in front of Kamel and Windsor, with only the endless shimmering sky filling their field of vision. As the explorers adjusted their field of vision focus, they saw the vast sky again. Countless fine floating objects appeared in the chaotic sky.

Those things seem to be engulfed in clouds and mist, and they seem to be groups of fragmented phantoms moving behind the clouds. They are obviously orbiting the Kingdom of God, and they have a large-scale overall structure-it's a pity that the explorers are limited. The field of view and resolution are so high that the technicians guarding outside the portal have no way of seeing what those things are.

But Kamel and Windsor Mapel knew what it was.

"That's what some of the 'senior advisors' mentioned..." Ms. Windsor couldn't help muttering softly, "Those who revolve around the Kingdom of God..."

"The remnants of the ancient gods, the remnants of the kingdom of God, the remnants of civilization, the reverberations of thoughts that have passed away - those things are endlessly reincarnated in the 'deep sea', and they will not completely dissipate for hundreds of thousands of years," Kamai said. Er said in a deep voice, with a resonant echo in his low voice, "It's really the same as what the senior advisers said... If you live in the Kingdom of God, you can see those things as soon as you look up."

"But it's still different from what I imagined," Windsor said involuntarily, "I thought there would be some larger-scale..."

Before the legendary mage finished speaking, she heard the exclamation of several mages beside the portal. She immediately looked up and saw a huge shadow moving slowly in the holographic projection——

It was a splintered wreck that seemed to have been part of the dome of a palace, but the jumbled lines and irregular edges did not fit any kind of building that Carmel or Windsor remembered. It seems that there is still something broken and broken. It looks like an arm, or it may be a dry and rotten wing, but no matter what it is, it is enough to make people feel uneasy and exclaim.

This huge piece of wreckage is slowly moving in the sky like this, perhaps with a scale as long as a kilometer. It seems to be so close to the dome of the God of War God Kingdom that explorers can observe the tiny parts of the wreckage. Structure - it slowly floats over from the edge of the screen, occupying nearly one-third of the entire holographic projection angle of view, and then slowly floats to the distance, leaving only a distorted, weird and triggering scene for the mortals next to the portal. Black silhouette of endless conjectures.

It didn't take long before Kamel's deep voice came, waking Windsor up from her astonishment: "...the larger-scale thing you want is here."

"That's..." Windsor took a light breath, "Is that also the wreck that is running around the Kingdom of God?"

"Obviously," Kamel said in a deep voice, "it seems that the wreckages are large and small, far and near... like irregular foam floating in the ocean, and the so-called Kingdom of God is located in this foam Floating in the sea."

"Although I have heard descriptions of this from senior consultants before, it is another feeling to see it with my own eyes," Windsor Mapel said with a wry smile, "That thing shocked me."

"Ms. Windsor, we only saw it from the perspective of explorers, and we are still a long way from the real 'seeing with our own eyes'." Kamel looked at the legendary Typhon mage with a solemn and serious tone, "Next One more step, I'm afraid we really should 'see with our own eyes' over there."

Chapter 1257 Stepping into the unknown

Under the remote control of the manipulator, the explorer puppet has been active in the "Kingdom of God" opposite the portal for two full hours, and it sent back a large number of real-time images, which will undoubtedly become crucial for human beings to understand the Kingdom of God. Important information, but as a magical device, the ability of "Explorer" has its limit after all.

After the explorer crossed the "square area" of the Kingdom of God and the first arch leading to the palace complex, the control mage found that the transmission of the puppet showed signs of instability, and the picture coming from the front began to flicker frequently. After a few seconds, , The puppet even sent back an emergency signal that "the supply of magic power is about to be interrupted".

In order to prevent the loss of this precious magic device, Windsor Mapel immediately ordered the recovery of the explorer, and the holographic projection returned from the front then turned back to the direction of the portal, and the explorer opened its long metal The limbs began to quickly return to the path they came from, while Kamel looked at the trembling holographic projections, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it beyond the control distance?"

"It shouldn't be..." Windsor Mapel frowned and said, "We considered in advance that the internal space of the Kingdom of God may be very wide, so we have made special improvements to the signal transmission structure of the golem, and the manipulation of mages is very difficult. High-level powerhouses, in theory, even if the puppet moves outward at the previous speed for another two hours, the signal transmission will not be affected..."

While speaking, the eyes of the legendary Typhon mage did not leave the holographic projection next to the portal. The explorer had already started running forward at the highest speed, and the magic image sent back was constantly passing by the holographic projection in the Shenguo Square area. Large stone bricks and exquisite stone pillars standing on the square, but even if the distance between the puppet and the portal is continuously shortened, the poor signal transmission has not improved at all, and the jitter and interference of the holographic image are increasing over time The more serious it became, the warning message "The supply of magic power is about to be interrupted" from the puppet always appeared in the center of the screen, which made Windsor's expression more serious.

"There is a problem with its energy supply... It looks like the magic power reserve is exhausted, but the puppet has the function of absorbing magic power from the surrounding environment to maintain long-term operation..." She whispered to herself, then suddenly raised her head He said loudly, "Can you speed up the evacuation?!"

"I have evacuated as quickly as possible, Master Windsor." A control mage said quickly. The forehead of this high-level mage in a dark purple robe was covered with cold sweat. The interruption of the puppet's signal made the control extremely difficult. And the pressure of losing the explorer made him even more nervous-the expensive cost of the golem itself is actually second to these Typhon scholars. What they are really nervous about is the research process. The current state of the explorer is obviously abnormal, but only It returned smoothly, and the on-site technicians could confirm how the anomaly happened. Once the puppet completely exhausted its energy before reaching the portal and lost contact, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on subsequent exploration and research.

Windsor didn't urge her again, she just stared at the image sent back by the holographic projection together with Kamel, in the increasingly blurred and dim picture, she saw that the mirror-like portal had appeared in the explorer In front of him, several metal joints of the puppet were running rapidly, and the distance between it and the portal was constantly shortening. However, as the last 100 meters approached, the raised metal joints suddenly appeared uncoordinated. One of the joint limbs failed to lift in time, causing the explorer to stagger and nearly fall.

The most basic power system is also showing signs of energy depletion, and the last reserve magic power in the golem is about to bottom out, but the function that was originally used to absorb magic power from the surrounding environment to maintain operation does not seem to exist...

In the last 15 meters, everyone's eyes were focused on the already extremely dim and blurry holographic projection, but the controlling mages could not perceive the signal transmission of the golem at all. · Mapel raised his hands: "Master Windsor, the signal is interrupted, we can only leave it to God..."

Before he finished speaking, the holographic projection completely dimmed, and the last link between the puppet and the mortal world was also broken.

The portal hall fell silent, and then a few sighs sounded from everywhere. Kamel stared at the mirror-like "gate", and Windsor Mapel beside him sighed and shook his head and said: "We Lost 'Seeker'..."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the sound of mechanical limbs rubbing against each other suddenly entered the hall, and ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the mirror-like circular "door door", followed by a magic mechanical machine made of brass. The device stumbled out of it, and rushed to the base of the portal device in a series of noises and tumbling.

At the last moment, the puppet managed to charge back with the remaining energy, and it rolled to the ground amidst a burst of noise. At the same time, a series of dimly lit runes on its shell were completely extinguished one by one.

Windsor Mapel immediately reacted. She rushed towards the explorer and ordered loudly: "The maintenance team! Come here immediately!"

Several technicians wearing mage Typhon's robes rushed to the side of the explorer puppet immediately, and Kamel followed Windsor Mapel to the scene. They stared at the puppet that had completely shut down. All the runes on the brass shell of the latter have been extinguished, and the crystals inlaid in each key energy node also show a grayish white color after excessive consumption, and a wave of heat radiates from its body. Seeing this scene, even if it is not Those who know the technology of the Typhon Puppet can also make a judgment at a glance - this sophisticated magic device has been operating beyond the limit for too long in an environment where no magic power can be replenished at all, and now many magic power circuits have been severely damaged .

An engineering mage bent down and began to inspect the shell of the "Explorer", trying to find traces of trauma to determine the cause of its charging device failure, and at this moment, a low humming sound came from the round The runes that were completely extinguished flickered a few times, and then lit up one after another—it began to charge itself again.

"...Master Windsor," the engineering mage raised his head and looked at Windsor Maple in confusion, "its charging structure is not damaged..."

Windsor Mapel watched this scene with a frown, and after a moment of contemplation, she made a decision: "Open the shell, remove the 2 to 4 shields, and check the condition of the core magic power circuit."

"Yes, Master Windsor!" The engineering mage immediately took the order, and then several assistant mages stepped forward to work together, and took apart the round brass shell of the explorer, accompanied by the heavy shell and the inside of the shell. Several silver guards were removed, and the extremely complex and precise mechanical and magical structure in this magic device was finally presented to everyone. At first glance, Kamel saw several crystals that were being recharged. And several obviously damaged rune structures around the crystal.

The mages of Typhon gathered together and quickly checked the various mechanisms in the explorer's body. Windsor Mapel watched their progress, but the inspection of the mages did not last long. Soon, a thin woman The mage stood up and reported to Windsor Mapel with a serious face: "Master, there are traces of inward breakdown in the core magic power circuit of the puppet, and the alchemy solution filled in isolation layers 2 to 4 has been completely evaporated. .”

"...Introverted penetration, the alchemy solution evaporated..." Windsor Mapel's face darkened, and he quickly made a judgment, "This shows that it has tried to absorb magic power from the surrounding environment, but the charging circuit has never been replenished ...Coupled with the excessive release of the magic power core, the central control magic circle continuously squeezed the remaining magic power in the circuit, resulting in a series of system errors..."

Kamel quickly understood what happened to the explorer. The eyes of the ancient arcane master suddenly flashed with a strange light. After thinking for a while, he broke the silence with a deep voice: "In other words, God There is no magic power in the country or it is impossible to extract magic power, so the explorers quickly exhausted their own energy reserves..."
