With a slap from Amber, the grayish-white dust that was rising and dispersing from Modir's body immediately regained control at a speed visible to the naked eye. It quickly gathered back into the old mage's body, but Amber's expression did not relax at all. Instead, she was even more serious and nervous than before. After she retracted her hand, she stared at Modir for a long time before finally breaking the silence. "This can only be controlled for a while …"
"I know." Modir smiled with a complicated expression. He put his hands in front of his eyes and looked at them. "I can feel it … as part of the memory in my mind 'loosens', I finally feel it … Miss Amber, am I dead?"
Amber opened her mouth. Even with her carefree personality, she did not know how to answer this overly straightforward question. But Gwen came over at this moment. He patted Amber on the shoulder and asked her to step back. He then looked into Modir's eyes. "I won't lie to you … from a mortal's normal life form, it's impossible for you to still be alive. Only half of your body and soul are left, but there's a force maintaining your vitality …"
"The Mistress of the Night?" Modir frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Is it the god I saw in the 'dream'?"
Gwen and Amber nodded at the same time. Modir smiled in relief. "Oh, it's not hard to guess."
"I have to remind you again." Seeing the calm smile on the old mage's face, Amber was even more nervous than him. "Your situation is not good now. Although the principle is unclear, the state of your memory is obviously closely related to your soul and body. Now you're remembering things that you shouldn't theoretically remember. This has caused the shadowy sand that's maintaining half of your body to be in a very unstable state. They're trying to return to the Mistress of the Night's divine kingdom. Your life now depends on these shadowy sand.
Once they leave … "" How long can I live? "Modir interrupted Amber and asked calmly.
"… It's hard to say," Amber said truthfully. "If I didn't help you temporarily stabilize your state, you would have reached your limit in about ten days or half a month. But even if I helped you temporarily stabilize your state, you can only hold on for a year or two at most. I'll be honest, the shadowy sand in your body comes directly from the Shadowy Divine Kingdom. It's completely different from the 'high imitation' I summoned. Although I can control it a little, it's just 'a little'. Now that the sand is determined to return to the other side, it's already very good that I can delay it for a while."
"… A year or two huh …" Modir listened intently to Amber's cold facts. He could not help but have a trace of regret on his face. "To be honest, it's a little sudden. But I believe you've done your best, Miss Amber. The remaining time is not much, but it's not little either. I have to plan … plan well."
"Ancestor, you …" Victoria could not help but step forward, as if she wanted to help the old man who was still in a weak state. But Modir waved at her first and then turned to the flower vine in the wooden house. The old mage stared at it for a long time before finally breaking the silence. "I'm sorry … I've let you down."
The wooden house fell into silence for a while. But at that moment, Gwen suddenly remembered the information Amber brought back from the Mistress of the Night's divine kingdom. He thought of the mysterious book called 'Werde' and the words' beware of the sentinel 'written on every page of the book. His heart skipped a beat as he vaguely grasped the key to something. "No, Modir. Although the situation may have deviated from the original plan, the warning given to you by the elven twins may not have been completely useless. It may not have been delivered to the world, but it may have been delivered to another important' person '."
"In the hands of another important 'person'?" Carmel asked curiously. "You mean …"
"I've been thinking since just now. The sentinels have been out of control for a thousand years, and the pollution of the Reverse Tide had spread even earlier than that. This dangerous force had such a long time to slowly plan to destroy our world, but our world is still 'healthy' to this day … That sentry that had gone out of control had been dormant for a very long time after entering the real world before slowly starting to move again. Don't you think that's not normal?" Gwen said in a low voice as he pondered. "There is a very critical period in all of this, and that is the period when Modir entered the Tower of the Reverse Tide until he disappeared six hundred years ago …"
Amber slowly came to her senses. "During this period, the body of the Reverse Tide had broken free from the tower's control, and Modir saw the elven twins who were trapped in the Sentinel's Mother Port. Then, the elven twins' warning 'accidentally' reached the Mistress of the Night, but the body of the Reverse Tide never entered the real world. According to the information we have now, it seems to be attacking the Mistress of the Night's throne …"
"Yes, the monster suspected to be the body of the Reverse Tide is attacking the Mistress of the Night's throne. Then perhaps there is another explanation … it is also trapped there." Gwen looked into Amber's eyes, and he seemed to feel that some of the originally vague clues were gradually becoming clearer. "The sentinel that was contaminated by the Reverse Tide, and the body of the Reverse Tide. If both of them invade our real world at the same time, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable. That may be the beginning of the real disaster, and I think this is probably what the sentinel wanted to do from the beginning.
"After breaking free from its mission command, the first thing it did is probably to release the sealed Reverse Tide. Considering that it was contaminated by the Reverse Tide, this is very likely. At the same time, this also explains the Deep Blue Fissure in the north tower, and its goal is probably to meet the body of the Reverse Tide in the real world … But this plan obviously did not succeed."
"But that's just your guess," Hu Po suddenly said from the side.
The goose's eyes were a little sharp at this moment.
"It is speculation," Gwen said in a low voice. "The warning of the Twin Elven was sent to the Mistress of the Night, and almost at the same time, the body of the Reverse Tide escaped from the tower. Although we have speculated that the Reverse Tide would try to contaminate the isolated Mistress of the Night, we cannot rule out another possibility: the Mistress of the Night would take the initiative to respond to the warning of the 'beware of the sentinel' and try to imprison the source of the contamination of the sentinel. As an ancient god, she may know far more secrets than we can imagine. She may know what the Dragons did back then, know about the Reverse Tide, know about the sentinel, so it is very likely that she took action for this …"
Speaking of this, he paused and sighed slightly. "Of course, we really have no way to prove all this. Now we can only boldly assume that in the past 600 years or so, the Mistress of the Night, who had received the warning, delayed the Reverse Tide's action, and bought 600 years of time for our world … until today. If this is the case, then the efforts of the Twin Elven and Modir were not in vain. Our world has survived because of their actions, at least until today. "
Modir had been listening quietly by the side. In fact, he could only understand part of the things that Gwen and Amber discussed. Half of his lost memories were still vague, and the rest were mostly superficial impressions. But what Gwen said still made the old mage feel a little better. He showed a complicated smile and said in a low voice, "While I still don't remember the specifics of what happened back then, as long as the efforts of the Twin Elven sisters were not in vain, I feel much better …"
"Of course their efforts will not be in vain, but now I'm worried about a problem … How long can the Mistress of the Night, who is fighting alone, delay?" Gwen shook his head slightly. "Her battle with the Reverse Tide seems to be in a stalemate, but in our real world, the out-of-control Sentinel seems to have begun to take action. It is using the clones of Rayna and Firna to secretly operate in the wasteland of Gondor until now. And the forces we have hoarded under the Great Wall are still not enough to directly penetrate the vast contaminated zone … Now we can't even confirm what the cultists are doing."
"Based on your speculation, if the Sentinel really released the Reverse Tide's true form through the Deep Blue Fissure six hundred years ago, then it should be very familiar with the 'Deep Blue Web' of this planet. After all, it has the advanced knowledge left behind by the Voyager." Kamel suddenly spoke. The arcane light on his body fluctuated, indicating that the ancient arcane master was thinking very quickly. "And this corresponds to our previous speculation about the 'abnormal surge in the Deep Blue Web' …"
Kamel's words further connected the many clues that had emerged during this period of time, and also allowed the people in the hut to further glimpse the outline of the truth behind the heavy fog. Gwen subconsciously fell into deep thought, but just as he was thinking, the sound of giant wings flapping in the air and the impact of landing suddenly came from outside, interrupting his and the others' thoughts.
The next second, he heard heavy footsteps approaching the hut. Melita Pânia's deep and majestic voice came from outside the door. "Gwen! Come out and see! I saw something in the sky! "
Everyone in the hut subconsciously looked at the door, and then they noticed that the light from the door suddenly dimmed. A huge shadow was approaching, and a huge dragon head poked its head out, trying to get into the door frame. Of course, it could not get in, so the dragon's mouth at the door quickly moved away, and then it was replaced by a huge eye. The eye glanced into the hut, and Melita's energetic voice came from outside the window. "Gwen! Are you in there? I can't see clearly. "
This scene was exactly the same as the 'Giant Dragon Horror Stories' described by the bards. Sure enough, art came from reality.
Gwen quickly went to the door, and as he walked, he shouted back, "I'm here, I'm here. Don't yell, we're all going deaf! What did you find? "
Kamel followed Gwen out of the hut, and as he floated, he muttered, "I don't have ears …"
Melita's head finally retracted from the hut's door. She lowered her body in a very awkward posture, and as she stepped back, she looked at Gwen and the others who were coming out of the hut. Her expression was very serious (of course, it was not easy to tell from her face now). "I saw other ports, and on the ports … other spaceships! Go and see for yourself, it's not normal! "
"Other ports?! Other spaceships?! " Hearing Melita's words, Gwen's eyes widened in an instant, and at the same time, he felt a chill coming from around him. But soon he realized from Melita's eyes that the situation was not as simple as he thought, so he quickly walked towards the blue draconic lady's wings. "Take me to see — the rest of you, wait below for a while. Amber, you stay too. Modir has just stabilized, and the environment here is strange. Pay attention to his condition. "
With that, he was already on Melita's broad back, and the next second, the Giant Dragon rose into the air.
The amazing size of the "mother port" meant that it also had a set of amazing protective barriers. In the sky above this almost artificial continent, the dome formed by the energy shield was a "sky" that even a huge creature like the Giant Dragon could fly freely. Melita did not need to fly at a low altitude like on the spaceship, but flew directly towards the dome in the sky. At the same time, her low voice also came into Gwen's ears. "Just now when I went out, I wanted to observe the nearby terrain from a high altitude, so I flew a little further, and saw something that I didn't see when the spaceship landed."
As she spoke, she slightly adjusted the direction of her flight, and the vast steel land below tilted to the side in Gwen's sight, and the scenery in the distance gradually came into view.
"The angle of the spaceship landing just caused our view to be blocked by the canopy of the Reincarnation Tree, so we couldn't see the situation in the distance," Melita continued. "But now … take a look, the situation is clear at a glance."
Gwen stood up, walked to Melita's shoulder blade, and looked into the distance.
He saw another port at the edge of the 'continent'. The port had been torn apart by an unknown force, and the hideous, twisted remains of the steel extended into the darkness like a ruptured wound. In the void near the port, another destroyed spaceship was floating. Although it had been completely broken into three sections, the outline of the main body was still recognizable. It was obviously identical to the spaceship that Gawain and the rest of them came in!
Gwen's eyes widened, and then he looked up into the distance. At the end of his sight, there was another torn port and a destroyed spaceship.
"Except for the spaceship we are on, all the other ships and berths have been destroyed," Melita said. "Although the distance is very far, these ships and ports are very large, and we can see them from afar. The shape of the 'mother port' under our feet is roughly like a hexagonal snowflake. There should be a ship and a corresponding mooring point on each 'corner', but now there is only one ship left. "
"Who did it? Could it be an external attack? "Gawain asked subconsciously.
"It's a civil war."
