MTL - Sword of Daybreaker-Chapter 1555 The "neighbors" we met for the first time
Amber and Modir were gone, and the way they came was gone. He was sent into this drowsy giant city alone, and he was completely cut off from the outside world. This situation seems to be different from what Gawain expected.
But for a trip to the realm of the ancient gods, anything that happens seems to be "expected".
Gawain quickly looked around, taking in everything he could see. He tried to sense the breath of Amber or Modir, but he found nothing within the range of perception. He was indeed standing alone in this open space. In the gigantic city, it was as if he was the only one walking here from the beginning to the end. The road when he came has disappeared, and in front of him there are only towers and houses that seem to be repeated.
Gao Wen took a deep breath. He didn't know where Amber went or where Modier was at the moment. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried or nervous, but he still forcibly calmed down after a moment of nervousness. Knowing that this should be Ms. Ye's deliberate arrangement in this "city of a thousand towers", everything is under the dominion of Ms. Ye, and after the tide disappears, there is no factor in this area that can affect the ancient god. Authoritative, so since he is facing such a strange situation at this moment, this situation is not an accident.
After stabilizing his mind, Gawain felt that his heartbeat was slowly calming down. He recalled the information he had collected before coming here, and looked up to distinguish between the shadowy streets in this "city of a thousand towers" and the distant ones. Architectural silhouette, try to find a way forward here. Since Ms. Ye took the initiative to invite him, then he definitely didn't bring himself here to make fun of the boredom. Maybe this is the place to meet.
Soon, his eyes locked on the tallest and most striking shadow in the depths of the city.
The shadow was hazy, as if it was shrouded in thick clouds and mist, showing an ever-changing appearance. Under the dim and gray skylight, it appeared unreal and uncertain. It was taller than any surrounding palace or tower, as if overlooking the entire building. The city is generally entrenched high in the center of the city of a thousand towers.
Gawain quickly thought of the core city of the City of Thousand Pagodas mentioned in the information, and thought of the giant building called the "Dark Palace". It is said that the Dark Palace was once the residence of the ruler of the Violet Kingdom, and in the dreamland of the Violet Kingdom. After the end, the Dark Palace became the "private residence" of Prince Nash, the gatekeeper of the Shadow Kingdom. According to Modier and Maggie's speculation, this "Dark Palace" should be the entrance to the Shadow Kingdom.
It seems that the hazy and towering huge shadow in the distance should be the dim palace. Gao Wen quickly made a judgment in his heart, and then walked towards the direction of the shadow.
In the drowsy and silent ancient city, only the footsteps of a visitor broke the ancient tranquility. The sound of boots hitting the ground echoed in the long street. The steeple houses on both sides of the street were like guards lined up silently watching that. The figure walking through the long street, the dark doors, the dark walls, and the dark windows embedded in the walls are like speechless mouths and empty eyes, maintaining a strange silence under the gray-white sky...
Gawain even had a certain illusion. He felt that the houses facing the street really seemed to be looking at one after another. Some kind of gaze that spanned time and space was falling on him blankly and blankly. It has been living in this city simulated by some data technology since 870,000 years ago. It was the ancient era of this planet, and even the dragons of Tal Lund were called "Northern Barbarians". , Even the dragon gods are still young and immature. These gazes from across time and space are empty and indifferent, and as Gawain advances, it becomes more and more real.
In the end, Gawain stopped on the street. He stood there and thought for a while, turned around and walked straight to the house closest to him, and pulled open the hidden wooden door.
A tall and thin figure with a black rune cloth wrapped around his body is standing at the door. The rune cloth is bound by a mass of chaotic black mist that looks like a human being. A shadow dweller is standing there with its face without facial features. Gawain and Gawain looked at each other, and of course there was no change in expression on the rune cloth belt, but Gawain felt that this guy was a little embarrassed.
Gawain recalled some knowledge about the Shadow Residents. These mysterious Shadow Residents will not deal with "outsiders", and they have been in a state of chaos that can get out of control at any time. The Shadow Residents will actively attack anyone who steps into them. An intruder in the territory, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.
But Gawain confronted the shadow resident in front of him for two seconds, and immediately felt that the other party seemed to be different from what he knew. Inside the door, Gawain still sensed something that seemed... to communicate with him. This feeling was very subtle, but Gawain was almost certain that the "shadow dwellers" in front of him were the kind of people known to the world. Not quite the same.
Suddenly, a realization appeared out of nowhere in his mind that this was the shadow dweller who had returned to the City of Thousand Pagodas. Shadow dwellers arriving at the finish line.
And at the moment when this cognition came out of his heart, Gawain noticed that the cloud and mist in the shadow residents in front of him seemed to have changed in some way, and some ripples appeared on the face of the other party who had no facial features. Fu Zhixin asked casually, "What are you looking at?"
The shadow resident on the opposite side was silent for two seconds, and probably didn't react for a while, and then a vague trembling voice sounded from the depths of his "bandage": "...watch the fun."
It is possible to communicate!
Although Gawain took the initiative to ask the question, to be honest, he really didn't expect to hear the answer from the other party's mouth. When the chaotic voice came into his ears, he even blinded himself, and then he reacted instantly. Suddenly he looked up at the whole street.
In every house in this city, behind every door and every window, there is a line of sight, and every line of sight comes from "them", this is their "true state" It turns out that the shadow residents can Communication, the situation of non-communication and blind attacks in the past was nothing more than a long sleepwalking.
Many pieces of information about the Shadow Realm in the past were quickly assembled at this moment, and a series of huge and far-reaching effects on the Shadow Realm, the Shadow Residents, and the Violet Kingdom during Lady Night's sleep and her return became in Gawain's mind. Clear chain, but these storms in his mind did not affect the conversation between Gawain and the aborigines in front of him, he quickly calmed down and looked at the tall and thin figure in front of him: "Co-author, you are all watching the fun behind the door. Woolen cloth?"
The tall, thin and eerie shadow was silent again for two seconds, then raised his finger and pointed to a row of houses in the distance: "No, there are some behind the windows."

"...What's wrong with you?" Gawain's expression almost didn't hold back for a moment, and the eerie, gloomy, and mysterious atmosphere that had been lingering around ever since he stepped into the City of Thousand Pagodas had already shattered. Co-authoring the empty staring across time and space that he felt along the way turned out to be real in the physical sense, and there really was an entire city of shadow dwellers hiding behind the door staring at him. A layer of goosebumps appeared, and another sense of horror emerged from the bottom of my heart, "Hiding behind doors and windows and staring at guests, is this your custom?"
"The hostess said that the guests have come from far away and are not suitable for the scenery in the city, let us stay at home and not come out to scare people," the tall, thin and strange shadow said honestly, "but he didn't say that he couldn't watch the fun secretly. …”
Gawain: "...is your mistress a little..."
He was really unable to hold back at this time. Although anything that happened during the trip to the ancient gods' realm could be regarded as "expected", the current situation really made him unable to adapt to it, and he did it on the spot. He wanted to say the whole point of the tiger and wolf, but just halfway through his words, a slightly lazy and majestic voice suddenly descended from the sky, interrupting all his movements: "Sorry, it seems to have caused you a little trouble. Troubled."
The moment the voice appeared, Gawain felt a monstrous gaze fell on him, and he heard the voice echoing throughout the city, as if even the breath of heaven and earth was stagnant in the words Immediately after getting down, he realized the source of the sound and sight. He looked in the direction he felt, and what he saw was exactly his previous target, the Pang who was standing in the center of the city and he thought was a dim palace. Of course shadows.
The huge shadow turned to this side, and at the top of the shadow, a pair of amber eyes were quietly watching Gawain through the clouds.
That is not a dim palace at all, nor is it some towering tower that is Lady Night.
He stands in his kingdom like a mountain, and his figure is like a dark cloud covering the city. He overlooks the earth from the cloud, and with the limit of mortal eyesight, he cannot yet see all of his posture.
Before today, Gawain had only seen such an astonishing figure once in Tal Lund, and the Dragon of Chaos, which was enough to cover the entire continent, was also so amazing... No, that was even more astonishing than Lady Ye's posture , because that is, after all, the transformation of the "gods".
The shadow dweller standing in the doorway bowed respectfully in the direction of Lady Night: "Salute to you, Lord of the Night."
"Well," Ms. Ye's voice dropped from the sky, "Go ahead, I want to talk to my guests."
"Yes." The tall and thin black shadow responded immediately, and then without saying hello to Gawain, he stepped back into the shadow of the house, and the black door with no visible material also closed with a creak. There was no movement inside.
In the next instant, Gawain felt that the gazes from the street had all dissipated. Whether it was from behind the door or the window, all the sense of prying eyes disappeared in an instant, and he even felt that it had dissipated. Not only the eyes, the shadow residents who were originally in the house seemed to "disappear" out of thin air after receiving the order from Ms. Ye, and there was no breath.
It feels as if the Shadow Aboriginals have temporarily become "non-existent" to leave room for their hostess to entertain.
There are many mysteries under the night, but Gawain's attention is no longer on these insignificant details. He raised his head and stared calmly at the towering silhouette standing in the center of the city. The clouds surrounding the figure seemed to have faded. At one point, in the slightly clearer outline, Gawain vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.
But before he could ask the question, Madam Ye's voice entered his ears first: "They have just returned to me, the influence of the long chaotic state has not completely subsided, and their words and deeds may still be a bit strange. Sorry for the trouble you caused."
"They... you mean the shadow dwellers living in this city?" Gawain frowned, it seemed that his judgment just now was correct, the "shadow dwellers" in this city have indeed been known to the world. Those "wanderers" are different, they are in a state of "after returning", and then, he thought of the "knowledge" that had just emerged in his mind, which made his expression a little serious, " Some 'knowledge' about the shadow dwellers suddenly appeared in my mind just now, are these things you instilled in me? Is this some kind of mental influence?"
"...I wouldn't do such rude things, and it's not realistic to want to mentally interfere with a special 'mortal' like you," Ms. Ye said with a slight smile in her voice, "Could it be? Isn't it? Outsider above the sky, my neighbor for many years, your memory is not so easy to manipulate. You know this better than me."
Gawain's expression was calm, and he was not surprised by what Ms. Ye said in his heart.
The world only knows that Lady Ye is an ancient **** who has survived for millions of years, but he also knows that this ancient god's "ontology" is actually the legacy of a sailor in the sky station. That anchor generator is Madam Ye's real "home", and on the other hand, he himself occupies an ancient monitoring satellite, and now he has become half the administrator of the sky station by replacing him with permissions. Lady Night is indeed a neighbor.
They have lived next to each other for hundreds of thousands of years.
This might be regarded as a kind of wonderful karmic bond, but this "friendship" did not make him relax at all, and the mysterious purpose and unpredictable temper of this ancient **** in front of him kept him cautious: "In that case, how did you do it? Instill that knowledge in me?"
"That's not my indoctrination, it's the trickle of the past few hundred thousand years. My neighbors, the sky in-orbit facility complex is our common place to live. In the same data system, many things I know are actually yours. You can also know, and some of the things you have witnessed can be mapped to me to some extent. I did not instill anything in you, I just made you 'remember' some knowledge that you already knew. "
Gawain was finally stunned. This was really the answer he never expected. He blurted out in shock: "You mean that some of my memories and yours are interlinked?!"
He still hasn't said a word about it, why doesn't he know it? !
"It's not yet at the level of 'intercommunication', but there is indeed some convergence," Ms. Ye's voice fell from the sky, with a bit of laziness in her calmness, "Part of the reason for inviting you here this time is also related to this matter. Of course, it is more important to discuss with you the future of this world, your own future, by the way... to hand over some 'legacy' that should be handed over to all beings on earth."
