Gwen did not take any unnecessary action. He just stood there quietly, watching the woman named "Selena" walk away. After a few seconds, she withdrew her gaze and left the place as if nothing had happened.
That was Selena Geerfen, almost without a doubt!
Although she was wearing a veil, in Gwen Cecil's memory, Selena Geerfen had appeared several times wearing a veil. So when he first saw "Selena" in the mental network, he vaguely felt a sense of familiarity. But after all, that was someone else's memory. And now, there were subtle differences between "Selena" and "Selena" Geerfen, mainly in the voice, so he never took this feeling to heart. Until just now, when the other party turned and left, a certain image in his mind overlapped with the person in front of him, and almost instantly, he made a judgment.
The person in front of him was the Priestess of the Church of Dreams from seven hundred years ago, Selena Geerfen.
She's alive? Seven hundred years old? And now she's a high-ranking member of the Church of Eternal Sleep?
Gwen walked quietly on the way back to the Crystal Square, his thoughts gradually calming down.
Whether it was Selena Geerfen or not, his plan could not be affected.
Seven centuries had passed, and everything had changed. The Church of the God of Dreams had become the crazy and paranoid the Eternal Sleep Congregation, and the once gentle and kind Priestess had now become the leader of a cult. Perhaps every cult had its own reasons for its depravity, and perhaps Selena Geerfen had her own plans, but now was not the time to investigate the truth.
He could not expose his identity, especially in front of Selena.
After making up his mind, Gawain stopped in his tracks and released his connection to the mental network, allowing his mind to fall into nothingness.
When he opened his eyes, Amber was staring at him again, her face less than half a meter in front of him.
Gwen raised his eyebrows. "I say, are you really not afraid that one day I will really be scared by you and subconsciously jump and smash you into the wall?"
Amber wasn't worried at all. "Keep bragging. You don't even have a sword in your hand. What are you going to do?"
"You're only slightly stronger than a goose. I can smash you against the wall with an eggplant!" Gwen pushed the half-elf's head to the side, then got up and stretched. "Run an errand and call Jenny and Kamel … Forget it, I'll go there myself. The study is not complete."
Amber immediately came up to him excitedly. "Hey hey? What did you realize in your dream again? Or did you see a little girl? "
Gwen paused in mid-air and turned to look at Amber with an expressionless face. "I really did see a little girl, and I even hooked up with a beautiful girl."
Amber froze for a moment, then jumped up. "I told you that your biography was documentary literature, and you didn't admit it. You even hit my head!"
In the Rune Research Institute, Jenny and Kamel were discussing the complex interference problems of mid-grade and above magic circles. They were surprised by Gwen's visit. At this time, Gwen was usually dealing with official business or studying mechanical blueprints. It was rare to see him come here.
Furthermore, he didn't have Amber with him. That half-elf guard was always by Gawain's side, and he rarely went missing.
"She's too noisy. I told her to find a place to play by herself, so that she wouldn't come to the institute and cause trouble." Gawain explained the reason for Hu Po's absence. He then went to the desk and pulled out a piece of draft paper from the stack. He then picked up a dip pen and started scribbling on it.
Jenny and Kamel curiously came closer. They found that what Gwen was drawing was not a new mechanical design, but a rune array that they had never seen before. The rune array was obviously some kind of unoptimized, traditional magic circle. It had a lot of complicated rune expressions, and a lot of magic lines were interspersed between the repeated rune structures. And what surprised Kamel the most was that he saw words that didn't belong to the elemental language between the runes. Those symbols were not so much elemental runes, but more like some kind of deformed religious sacred symbols.
"What's this?" Jenny didn't know much about the "sacred symbols" used by the clergy. She just felt that the magic circle in front of her was quite strange. There were many parts of the structure that didn't make sense, as if it was pieced together. "Did you design … some kind of magic circle?"
Gwen raised his head and looked at the two in front of him seriously. "No, it's not mine. It's the technology of the Eternal Sleepers."
Jenny exclaimed, "The Eternal Sleepers?!"
Kamel's eyes suddenly lit up. "You mentioned to me last time, the evil cult that degenerated from the Church of the God of Dreams?"
"Yes, this is their brainwave amplification and transmission magic circle. Originally, it had a matching 'artificial nerve cord' technology that could connect human neurons to external devices, but I don't have a clue about this part of the technology yet. I only found this magic circle."
Jenny was shocked when she heard this. She showed an expression of disbelief. "My Lord … How did you get this?"
"I swallowed the soul of an Eternal Sleeper, have you forgotten?" Gwen gave the explanation that he had already thought of. "I got his memory, and I've been digesting this part of the memory. This rune array is the result of my latest research."
Of course, this was not the real answer. The real answer was that he found this reliable information in the mind of the old wizard, Daniel.
The network of the Eternal Sleepers relied on Dream Theurgy. Like any supernatural power, Dream Theurgy also had requirements for the user's talent. Not everyone's magic power and mental power were strong enough to connect to the network without external help like Gwen or the Nightmare Bishops. Therefore, they had auxiliary connection technology. From Daniel, Gwen got some information about this auxiliary technology.
Neuron Connection, Artificial Nerve Cord, Brainwave Amplification and Transmission, these things were the key to this technology.
Daniel was a powerful wizard. Logically speaking, he did not need to rely on this kind of external help, but there was a problem of compatibility. The Eternal Sleepers' Dream Theurgy modified from Dream Theurgy was not consistent with the traditional magic system. The "magic talent" and "spiritual talent" of humans were often unbalanced, especially those who had been deeply involved in the traditional magic path. Their mental structure and brain work had been deeply affected by magic power, so the efficiency of using "divine magic" would be greatly reduced. Therefore, Daniel had to use auxiliary connection to connect himself to the network of the Eternal Sleepers.
He got this part of the technical information from the Eternal Sleepers, and now, these things were in the hands of Gwen.
"The technology of the cultists …" After knowing the origin of these runes, Jenny was a little hesitant. "Are you going to study their power?"
"The technology itself is not good or bad, but depends on the person using it," Gwen said faintly. "Seven hundred years ago, this power had saved countless souls in despair and inspired countless warriors who had lost their will to fight. It's not that the power has become bad, only people can fall."
Kamel agreed with Gwen. "I know what the Church of Dream Theurgy used to be like. From a long time ago, they were the most gentle and tolerant of all the religions. Everyone has a dream, whether it's a king or a farmer, a noble or a slave, the dream will comfort everyone equally. This is the meaning of the dream, and also the code of conduct of all the believers of the God of Dream. They have always regarded defending the peace of the human mind as their mission. If not for the fact in front of me, I really can't imagine that such a group of people would fall and become the Eternal Sleepers … "
The ancient Archmage shook his head. "Even now, I still can't believe it."
Unlike others, Kamel had participated in the Disobedience Project and knew the truth of the fall of the God of Nature. So, Gwen had also vaguely mentioned to him the "strange situation" of the other gods. Of course, Kamel could guess the reason for the fall of several dark cultists. He could only sigh.
Jenny was not an inflexible person. She agreed with Gawain, and when she saw the runes, she did not hold any grudges. "Do you want me to complete the simplification and reconstruction of these runes?"
"Simplification and reconstruction is the ultimate goal, but first of all, you have to figure out how it works and what the function of each rune is. Otherwise, you can't talk about reconstruction," Gwen said. "You can ask Pitman for help in this regard. The process of transforming dream magic into dream magic is similar to the process of transforming Druil's magic into spells. The law of the rune changes of the two should have something in common. By the way, Kamel, you should be able to help, right? "
"Of course, the former Disobedience Project itself was to study the power of the gods. The Inversion Matrix used in the alchemy factory now is one of our results," Kamel's voice sounded full of confidence. "The divine runes have been given a lot of mysterious explanations and confusing halos by the clergy and believers. In fact, it's just to maintain their god's superiority. If you really want to put it into a logical system, there is no difference between the divine runes and the elemental runes."
Gwen nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. The key is to understand how their 'transmission' technology is achieved, and whether the 'content' of this transmission can be imported and exported through a medium other than neurons. If I'm not wrong, this research is likely to promote the progress of your research on the magic field at the same time. "
As soon as his voice trailed off, Gwen and Jenny felt that their eyes were very bright.
The arcane sparks on Kamel's body were shining. "Yes, it's in this direction … the transmission of the magic field! You reminded me, they are likely to be in the same field! And the communication spell … these things should be in the same field! "
The ancient sorcerer was in a state of excitement. This was an inevitable moment of excitement for any researcher. The joy of a breakthrough stimulated him.
He and Jenny had been studying the magic field for a long time. The fluctuating interference curves and the oscillating magic power had troubled him day and night. Although Gwen had pointed him in a direction with the concept of field and wave, and had new mathematical tools to help him analyze the large amount of data observed in the experiment, there was still a problem in front of him.
Could the 'wave' of magic power be precisely controlled? Could it carry information? Could it be used for applications other than energy transmission?
Was there a connection between the communication spell, which had been a 'black box of technology' for a long time, and the waves of magic power?
Kamel was no stranger to the magic circle of the communication spell. Even without the help of tools, he could draw one accurately. However, a single magic circle was not comparable, and it was difficult to analyze by itself. Even he had not been able to complete the simplification and reconstruction of the communication spell. Because he did not understand the function of each part of the runes in the complex magic circle, it was naturally impossible to divide and reconstruct it. And if he directly simplified it with the formula of rune logic without dividing the function of the runes, the whole magic circle would be messed up and even unable to operate.
But now, he had a sample that could be compared and analyzed.
The Eternal Sleeper's telekinesis technique was essentially another type of communication spell.
