Gawain watched in amazement as Amber broke away from the Shadow Realm, and saw a look of horror and nervousness on the other party's face: "What's wrong?" ”

"Shadow...... There's something in the Shadow Realm!! Amber almost jumped to her feet and said, "That's definitely not native to the Shadow Realm - someone put them in there, and they spread everywhere!" ”

As if a bright light flashed in his mind, Gawain suddenly realized what was really being ignored by everyone, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Amber's arm: "Take us in and have a look." ”

Amber hesitated slightly, but after thinking about the combat strength of several people on the scene, she nodded: "Okay - but you have to be careful, there are shadow dwellers roaming here, don't come into conflict with them." ”

Sonia and Banner listened to Amber crackling and chattered, and before they could react to what was going on, they realized that this inconspicuous-looking half-elf had the ability to shuttle between the current world and the shadow world at will, and the two couldn't help but widen their eyes, but they knew that this was not the time to ask for details, so they suppressed all their doubts and quickly prepared for space replacement.

- The Shadow Realm is difficult to enter, but it is not completely blocked to mortals, powerful shadow casters can also open the rift to enter the Shadow Realm after complicated rituals and tedious preparations, and well-informed elves like Banner and Sonia have naturally seen transcendents who can enter the Shadow Realm, they just didn't expect that there would be such a strange thing as Amber that could "cross the line" casually.

After making sure everyone was ready, Amber didn't hesitate any longer, she unleashed her natural powers, and the lines between the present world and the shadow world quickly blurred around her.

An unfathomable crack opened, and the entire rotunda was quickly covered in a layer of monotonous colors like a black and white filter, the humming metal pillars became silent, the holographic projections in the air disappeared, and a cold, eerie, black-and-white space descended on the four of them.

Despite some mental preparation, Sonia and Banner couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment after seeing Amber's natural abilities, and Gawain immediately noticed the hazy phantoms hovering in the corners of the hall, wrapped in rune cloth—the inhabitants of the Shadow World seemed to be indifferently observing the uninvited guests here, and Gawain could even feel their inhuman gaze sweeping over him, which was not actually malicious, but extremely cold.

Banner and Sonia also noticed the wandering Shadow Dwellers, with the former muttering under his breath, "I've only seen them in research materials...... I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes. ”

"It's best to restrain your researcher's mentality, this is the Shadow Realm," Sonia whispered, then she looked up and looked around the hall, "These things...... It's creepy......"

The corrupted vines sparked the nerves of everyone on the scene.

Gawain looked at the Elven Magister, "Banner, can you figure out what's going on with these vines?" ”

Banner did the same effort as Sonia to ignore the shadowdwellers who were indifferent from the distance, looking at the withered and corrupted vines spreading across the hall, shaking his head as he stepped forward to inspect them, "I've never seen anything like this, but there's no doubt they shouldn't be here." ”

Gawain looked at Amber and confirmed again, "Are you sure this is not a 'natural product' of the Shadow Realm?" ”

"I've traveled through the Shadow Realm so many times anyway, and I've never seen anything like it," Amber said, spreading her hand, "Why don't I go and ask the Shadow Dwellers about it?" ”

Hearing this, Sonia looked at her in surprise: "Will they respond to you?!" ”

"Almost, sometimes we can talk a few words, but not all of the Shadow Dwellers are willing to deal with people, and some of them don't seem to be very lucid in their minds," Amber said casually, then waved her hand over to the figures standing not far away, "I'll go and inquire." ”

On the other side, Banner had come to a tentative conclusion after carefully examining the state of the vines and alloy pillars: "These vines seem to have invaded the teleportation structure of the stele, but I don't understand it...... I haven't seen it, but their erosion in the Shadow Realm can really affect the current world? ”

"There is a hidden mapping between the Shadow Realm and the present world, and what you said is very likely," Sonia nodded slightly, then frowned, "These vines ...... It feels like a magic vine cultivated by a druid, but I've never seen it before. ”

Gawain already had a name in his mind: the Society of the End of All Things.

Amber had already come to the shadow dwellers, and she looked around for someone who might be able to talk, and asked cautiously, "Hey, do you know who got these vines in?" ”

The shadow wrapped in the rune cloth really answered her, and he turned his head slightly, but instead of answering her question directly, a voice from the black mist-like head came out that seemed to be interested: "Little girl, you are such an interesting individual...... Who stuffed you into this? ”

"Stuffed in what?" Amber was stunned for a moment, she suddenly felt that the shadow dwellers here did not seem to be the same as the ones she had been in contact with, and even if the shadow dwellers she had been in contact with could communicate with her, they had never shown such ...... "sanity", "What do you say?" ”

"It's okay...... It doesn't matter......" The Shadow Dweller's voice suddenly became muffled, and he muttered a few words he didn't understand before Amber heard him continue, "There are rifts here, lots of rifts...... Powerful magic makes the borders of this place fragile...... The outsiders planted the seeds outside, and they grew here......"

After that, the shadow's voice became muffled again, and he seemed to lose interest in conversation, and after some incomprehensible murmurs, the figures of him and several of the surrounding shadow dwellers began to dim at the same time, and they gradually disappeared into thin air, leaving only a bewildered amber on their faces.

Not far away, Banner had cut a piece of vine from an alloy pillar, which he discovered was actually "dead".

"They're dead," the magiser said with some surprise in his tone, "but they don't seem to be dead for long...... Their cores show signs of charring, as if they have been burned by a powerful stream of energy. ”

Sonya's eyebrows raised slightly: "Could it be ...... Was it burned down by the previous overload of the Sentinel Tower? ”

"I can't rule out this possibility, time seems to correspond, but the mapping between the current world and the shadow world is really weird, and I'm not sure what happened here when the Sentinel Tower of the current world was overloaded," Banner said cautiously, "We can only guess now that these vines have indeed affected the operation of the Sentinel Tower in the current world, and have been affecting, they have interfered with the tower's sensors, and may even have tampered with some return signals, and not long ago, the massive overload of the entire magnificent wall produced a powerful surge of energy, It even broke through the boundary between the present world and the shadow world, so these hidden things were burned to death......"

It sounds funny, but maybe it's the truth.

"I suspect it's the work of the Society of the End of All Things," Gawain conjectured, "you may not know much in the South, but I've dealt with them quite a bit in the North. They are adept at cultivating these twisted and corrupted creatures, and have attempted to infiltrate an observatory you have set up on the border of Typhon - a matter that Thorderlin has reported to the Silver Empire. ”

“…… Those fallen druids...... Sonya's brow furrowed slightly, and then sighed softly, "Actually, we know a lot about the end of all things—although they do operate far from the Silver Empire, don't forget that the druid lineage originated from the elves in the first place. ”

"The activities of the Society of the End of Everything have also taken their toll on the Silver Empire," Banner added, "and even within the Silver Elves, there have been defected fallen druids, including the two High Masters of the Nature Temple, the pervasive Fallen, whose tentacles are not confined to the northern part of the continent. ”

Sonia nodded slightly, then looked at the withered vines entrenched in the hall, and took a deep breath: "But I still don't dare to imagine that their destruction and infiltration will actually go this far...... Sentinel Tower, they actually infiltrated Sentinel Tower!! ”

"Those shadow dwellers said that someone planted seeds in the outside world, and then these vines grew and penetrated the boundary between the shadow world and the current world, and the gods and gods chattered, but most of them were true," Amber also walked over from not far away, talking about the information he had heard, "And what they also said about the powerful magic that makes the boundary between the shadow world and the current world fragile, it should be the magnificent wall, although the energy barrier blocks the spread of the wasteland, it may also destroy the spatial structure here...... That's what I said, and I don't know the specifics. ”

Sonia listened carefully to Amber's words, and the expression on her face became extremely serious: "In short, this matter must be reported to the Elven Court immediately, and Her Majesty must send someone to inspect every Sentinel Tower as soon as possible." Although the vines in this tower are dead, there may be others alive somewhere else, and these hidden dangers must be removed. ”

"Now that the Sentinel Tower's communications are still down, we're afraid we'll have to use the Giant Eagle Courier, the Human Teleportation Tower, and the Short-Range Teleportation to relay information," Banner reminded him, "Maybe we should find a way to fix the Sentinel Tower's telecommunications first." ”

Sonya's brows furrowed deeply: "I'm afraid this is no faster than the relay transmission, the transmission circle is burned, not a simple failure." ”

Gawain listened quietly beside him, and then suddenly broke the silence: "Is the magic cycle of the entire Great Wall still complete?" It's just the teleportation circle that burned, isn't it? ”

"Of course the mana cycle is complete, otherwise there must be gaps in the barrier," Banner replied immediately, "but only the mana connection is useless......"

"I have a plan," Gawain interrupted Banner, "do you know Cecil's Demonic Web communication?" ”

"Magic Web Communication?" Banner and Sonia looked at each other, and then remembered the incredible magical creations they had come into contact with while living in Cecil City, and the most novel "broadcasting" device of those magical creations, "Ah! Remember! ”

Banner first thought of the cheap and convenient terminal device used for Magic Network communication, and its magical properties that could be manipulated by ordinary people, while Sonia thought of the radio show called "Witch Time" - that Miss Witch named Gipley was a nice girl......

"My plan is to connect our magic net device to the magnificent wall," Gawain didn't know what Sonia was thinking, he just continued to talk about his plan, "The principle of the magic net terminal is to transmit signals in the magic field, although the terminal we currently make can only be compatible with our own magic energy broadcasting, but it is adjustable, theoretically as long as it is a continuous and regular magic field, it can be used as a carrier to carry the signal - the magnificent wall is essentially a large and circular magic field, and it is also very stable, Isn't it? ”

"This ...... Sounds like a no-brainer," Banner said with a slight hesitation as he glanced at Sonya, "but that means we're going to open up the teleportation key of the Great Wall to you, and the teleportation technology of the Great Wall to your technicians, right?" ”

Obviously, this is no longer as simple as "allowing Gawain to view the internal structure of the Sentinel Tower".

Gawain smiled slightly: "Belsetia shouldn't mind building a communication line between the Silver Empire and the Duchy of Cecil, of course, I also understand your scruples, but the situation we encounter may not give us room to think slowly." ”

"I agree to establish this special route," Sonia said suddenly, "I'm a high-ranking courier, and I'll take responsibility for it." ”

Gawain exhaled softly and held out his hand to Sonya, "This would be the right choice." ”
