MTL - Sword of Daybreaker-Chapter 1533 Resonance between the reckless

The City of a Thousand Towers will open its doors to every invited visitor—but only if the visitor has the ability to find the door for himself.

This is the rule set by the Lord of the Night for the city, and it is also part of the authority of "Shadow" and "Night", just as the practitioners of the Holy Light need to be in line with the essence of the Holy Light in their words and deeds in order to safely and harmlessly contact those The scorching brilliance, in this realm that is infinitely close to the Kingdom of Shadows, visitors must also meet the requirements of the Way of Shadows in order to successfully open this city dominated by the eternal night.

The closer one gets to a god, the more obvious and irreversible the power of this "symbolic behavior" and "specific order" becomes.

The good news is that the invited visitors were smart and lucky enough to find the door hidden by light and shadow, the bad news is that these visitors had more courage and imagination than necessary - the way they opened the door was astounding .

It also shocked the city's administrator, Prince Nash (physical).

The cold night wind blew over the dim palace, and Prince Nash was a little more awake in the night wind. He came to the edge of the terrace and looked up at the "sky", and saw that the dark earth was hanging over his head, and the earth was okay. I saw some continuous lights, which were temporary shelters for mortal visitors who visited this place.

It's night time, and the shadow force's influence on the land is at its peak.

Since Lady Night woke up, the city of a thousand towers, which once formed an entity in the real world, has returned to a certain "mythical state", it will disappear during the day, and at night, it will act as a kind of "Reflection" appeared in the sky above the former city "ruins". It was the last trace left in the world after the violet dream subsided, and it was also the entrance of the mysterious kingdom of shadows left in the world.

"...I need to ask the Lord of the Night's opinion." After hesitating for a moment, Prince Nash nodded slightly to Benadillo, who was floating beside him, "The visitors have taken unexpected actions, which is not entirely consistent with The rules of operation of the City of Thousand Pagodas - The city has now returned to the state of mythology. Stepping into the City of Thousand Pagodas is equivalent to stepping into the Kingdom of God with half a foot. Even for the safety of those visitors, it is necessary to open the door. rigorous."

Bernadette nodded: "Okay, then you ask - I will continue to pay attention to the movements of those people on the surface with the eyes of night."

As she spoke, the magical intelligence took two steps to the side. Her mind was already connected to a magical organ somewhere in the dim palace, and she began to monitor the next moves of the mortals on the surface, while Prince Nash just stood there. He waved his hand in place, and in an instant, the upside-down earth above his head dissipated like smoke, and was replaced by a scene of deep starry sky-he looked towards the darkest direction in the starry sky, and then let go of his body and mind to communicate respectfully. .

This switch between the starry sky and the earth has not affected the state of the city of a thousand towers itself, and this is part of the "true meaning" of the power of the city, and even the lady of the night - the real and the virtual, the real and the reflection, the boundaries of all these aspects. In front of the Lord of the Night, all things are fuzzy and malleable. The so-called power of shadow is actually the power of light and shadow. The city of a thousand towers can be the projection of the earth, the earth can also be the projection of the sky, the sky... It can be the projection of Lady Ye.

Among the endless stars, there seemed to be a cold but soft gaze staring down. Prince Nash felt this gaze, his soul trembled slightly, and then he told his hostess everything that happened here. After waiting, he got a response, and the faint sense of staring in the star space also subsided - the starry sky disappeared, the upside-down earth reappeared above the dim palace, and Bernadette's voice came from the side: "You communicate It's so fast, how does the Lord of the Night respond... Why is your face so weird?"

Prince Nash's expression was more than weird. He glanced at Bernadette almost dully, and his tone was erratic: "I told the lady what those visitors did..."

Bernadette frowned and looked at each other: "Yes, I know, and then what?"

"The lady told me: awesome."

Bernadette: "...?"

Prince Nash: "...don't look at me like that, and I don't know why."

"Do you think... the lady has been a little weird since she woke up?" The silence on the terrace lasted for an unknown amount of time, and Benadillo finally couldn't help breaking the silence, "I know it's a bit rude to say that, but You know, last time the lady even entertained a group of lost mortals at the throne, and she recently... Of course, my judgment may also be questionable, after all I was created after the lady was asleep, as far as I know Only the materials recorded in the big library, but you should know the original lady..."

"Maybe it was the long sleep that made the Lord of the Night change, or maybe it was because he actively wanted to try something new in his long life," Nash shook his head, "Actually, the lady's character many years ago was placed in the public eye. God is also a special one. Of course, her situation may not have been so strict at that time... Forget it, we should not discuss these overreaching matters. Since the lady has approved the behavior of the visitors, it means that this kind of Actions will not cause a backlash from the City of a Thousand Towers - open the gates, Benadillo."

…

"I think there is something in that city staring at us," Maggie, who had turned into a human form on the edge of the camp, suddenly raised her head and frowned, staring at the upside-down city in the sky. There is a sense of staring."

At this time, Modier next to him was blessing the summoned eyes of several mages by brushing shields and brushing resistance. Hearing that, he also looked up at the sky, and the old mages shrugged and looked very calm: "Normal, such a big city floats. In the sky, and it's still the legendary 'city of a thousand towers', there must be something 'living' in it, and the movement we knocked on the door just now was so loud, it was strange that there was nothing in the city staring at."

"Then why didn't they take any action?" Diana on the other side frowned, "Didn't you say this is an invitation from Lady Ye? How could this be the case now? Tower City responded silently..."

"I don't know, it couldn't have been just a few shots that just happened to kill the people in the city," Modier blew his beard, "then it was Ms. Ye who stayed to watch the door, and a few small-caliber anti-aircraft guns The movement that comes out should only be equivalent to knocking on the door hard for the city... Okay, the Mage's Eye is ready, I'll put these things up first to see the situation."

While speaking, the old mage waved his hand to the sky, and the eyes of a few fully armed mage strayed away from the surrounding people and began to fly to the upside-down city-normal mage eyes are usually only people. The size of his fist, but each of them after Modier's treatment was almost the size of half a car, surrounded by various shield spells, which made Maggie couldn't help muttering: "Every time I see I want to say, it's a shame they can still fly."

Modier waved his hand when he heard the words: "Of course it can fly, and the magic shield has no weight, that is, it looks thick..."

The old master had just finished speaking when a humming sound from the sky interrupted his follow-up words. He looked at the sound in surprise, and saw that the city that had always remained silent had suddenly changed. An intense dark purple light beam condensed above the tallest building in the center of the city at some point. In the next second, the light beam crossed a long distance like a long bridge, and fell directly from the center of the City of Thousand Towers to the surface. —It was in the middle of the Cecil and Typhon camps!

This sudden change shocked everyone. Even the well-informed Modier broke a few of his beards at once. He watched in astonishment at the bridge connecting the heaven and the earth, with a width of about a few Mi's dark purple light flow, seeing the light floating slowly under the night, it seems to contain thousands of stars, and a gentle force is released from the light flow, so that everyone who looks at it seems to feel something. Peace of mind.

"This is..." Diana couldn't help widening her eyes. She didn't expect that she was talking about the silent response of the City of Thousand Towers a second before, and the latter really gave such a "response" the next second, "This is In response to what we just did?"

"Could this be the 'gate' to that city?" Maggie thought of something more realistic, she guessed while walking cautiously towards the place where the beam landed, "Is it really because we Your Majesty Wen's instructions were a bit 'reckless', so you passed the 'test' of Lady Ye?"

"Don't jump to conclusions in such a hurry," Modier also followed Maggie to the beam, and said cautiously as he walked, "This thing appeared too suddenly, and there is no sign at all, we should first Throw something over to test it out..."

Maggie hesitated a bit: "I don't want it anymore. Your Majesty just reminded us that we can be 'a little' reckless. Will actions that are beyond necessary have the opposite effect?"

"I didn't say I was going to throw bombs in it, I meant throwing a summoned object in it, such as a pathfinder like a mana servant..."

Modier and Maggie were chatting in low voices quickly, but as soon as they communicated in general, they saw that the flow of light in front of them suddenly changed again, and there were faint lines of light near where the light landed. Immediately afterwards, these lines quickly condensed and assembled into an arrow pointing straight to the sky diagonally above.

Modir & Maggie: "…"

The next second, lines of writing began to appear next to the arrow: "Entrance to the city of a thousand towers; please step into the stream of light when entering the city; the city of a thousand towers has opened its doors to visitors; you have passed the test; take a step forward. And make sure you stand firm; don't guess it's really the gate; stop throwing explosives in this way!"

The three figures next to the stream of light looked at each other, and the awkward atmosphere began to flow silently in the night. After a while, Modier broke the silence with a smile: "Look, this is at least a positive response."

Maggie looked at the old mage, and then at Diana, who was silent on the other side: "Then... shall we go in and have a look?"

Modir laughed: "Of course, that's what we're here for."

…

Gao Wen rubbed his brows and placed the last report sent by the Theocratic Council in the past two days on the table.

The blockade of the church area is still ongoing, but after more than 48 hours of continuous monitoring and the senior advisor's preliminary judgment on the situation, the alert level of the entire area has been lowered from "reality pollution" to "divine change" level. So far, except for those Apart from the astonishing "traces", no new visions have occurred in various churches, nor have there been any reports of priests being polluted.

According to this trend, the blockade of the church district should end in the near future.

After all, "church activities" are an indispensable social chain in this world where God does exist. Even the theocratic council and the royal family cannot block all churches in the capital indefinitely without proper reasons. Especially now that the council has roughly understood the cause of the vision, which can rule out the possibility of the gods getting out of control, and the lifting of the blockade must be on the agenda.

Of course, whether it's Gawain or the Theocratic Council, everyone knows that something is wrong on the side of the gods. The end of the church blockade just shows that this matter is not harmful to the world, but to the gods... This matter is still It's far from over.

"Princess" Veronica stood quietly beside Gawain's desk, noticing that the latter had finished reading the document, she spoke softly: "What do you think of the investigation report of the Arbitration Tribunal?"

"Similar phenomena have happened to the high-ranking priests of various churches," Gawain rubbed his brows. The things mentioned in the report were still up and down in his mind, and new clues and conclusions were continuously drawn. When performing supernatural arts, I feel a serious violation, which is manifested in the loss of 'the sense of gaze of the gods' and the inability to perceive the 'temperature of the will of the gods'. Apparently, a few Chosen Ones and one Chosen One even made it clear that they felt like their gods had become empty shells, with only empty and mechanical responses from the Throne."

"Yes, and during this process, all the divine arts of the various churches are in effect as usual," Veronica nodded lightly, and raised her hand to sprinkle a faint radiance. This radiance enveloped Gawain and made him The latter's mental exhaustion instantly dissipated most of the time, "Even in a few tests, the effectiveness of the magic spell has improved a little bit—although the improvement has even reached a level that even instruments can barely detect, but This 'synergy' does exist."

Gawain was silent for a while, his eyes fell on Veronica, strictly speaking, on the faint floating holy light around the latter, after thinking for a few seconds, he said softly: "It's like holy light. God."

"Yes, just like the God of Light - this hollow feeling and mechanical response is a novel and somewhat terrifying thing to those 'ordinary' priests, but for those who have prayed to the God of Light It is a very familiar feeling to the priests," Veronica nodded slightly, "although those fanatical believers of the Holy Light have always insisted that this hollow and mechanical response is the justice of the God of Light. And noble proof, and made up all kinds of 'divine will' on their own, but now we know for sure that this feeling is praying to an answering machine that can't think."

"Yes, answering machines that can't think," Gawain sighed softly, "so this is the most likely answer, all the gods have become answering machines that can't think, and now the gods of the various kingdoms are sitting on the thrones. There is only divinity left. And this should be the result of Lady Ye's single-handedness."

"Ms. Night..." Even Veronica couldn't help but shake in front of this conclusion, "What does the ancient **** want to do, and how did he do it?"

Gawain thought about it carefully, and said in his heart that he was afraid that it wasn't the ancient **** who smashed more than a dozen brain-dead patients with his stick and fell...
