Sword of Daybreaker

When I heard Pitman's words, Amber looked at Gao Wen with a subconscious mind. The latter said on his own initiative: "I can avoid it - if you don't want others to hear it."

"No, I don't care," Amber shook his head. "You have a good brain, and there will always be unexpected insights. I want you to be there, and this note... you can also take a look."

Gao Wen silently looked at the amber, did not shirk, but nodded slightly.

The fountain is not suitable for excavating these hidden memories. The three left the overly lively courtyard. In a lounge on the first floor of the Silver Fort, Amber solemnly placed the note on the table in front of Gaowen. And Pitman's face, carefully opened its shabby and fragile cover.

There are no patterns and coats on the inner pages. There are no kinds of patterns commonly found in most aristocratic handwritten books of this era. On that yellowed paper, only a simple sentence is written:

"Give my daughter - hope that when you see it, you have grown up happily and safely."

"There is still so much nonsense..." Amber licked his lips, and his movements were more careful than before, and slowly opened the first page.

This is a diary, a diary written in special circumstances:

"... enter the third day of the Shadow Fortress.

"As a Royal Shadow Guard, I should not leave any written information in the course of performing confidential tasks. This is a violation of confidentiality rules, but the current situation is special. I may not be able to leave this safely. People left warnings and experiences, and I decided to record part of my trip.

"My name is Sari Randolph, a royal shadow guard. I was ordered to come to the dark mountains of the South, looking for ancient heritage in this land abandoned by the gods.

"I am unfortunately trapped in this place called ‘Shadow Fortress’. I believe this is the place where ancient heritage is buried...

"...According to the information in advance, the Shadow Fortress is not in the real world we are familiar with. It is a territory opened up by the ancient Gangster Empire through the superb loss technique in the shadow world. It floats outside the world, but Nor has it established a stable connection with the shadow world. It is a free space that can only be accessed through specific gates and ceremonies...

"Part of my intelligence is correct. There is indeed a space node in the dark mountains that leads to the Shadow Fortress. I started the ceremony at this node and successfully entered here, but the intelligence error lies in the "shadow" used to open the gate. The ring is a one-off – or I can't find a way to recharge it.

"His Majesty gave me one of the two rings in his hand. Obviously, he did not expect that the ring could only be used once when the Shadow Fortress was opened."

Just looking at these few paragraphs, Amber couldn't help but look up and confront the same high-faced Gao Wen.

"Shadow 玺 ring..." Amber subconsciously grasped a thin chain hung around his neck. Two quaint rings were hanging on the necklace, one of which still had magical brilliance and the other was bleak. Light.

The ring with magical brilliance was obtained from Francis II. The dull ring was amber from childhood. Now, the origins of these two rings have finally been explained.

She bowed her head and continued to look at the follow-up of the diary:

"...Despite being trapped, I still have to admire the superb technology of the ancient Gangster Empire. The Shadow Fortress is an unimaginable place - including the process of entering the fortress is incredible. I stand in the dark mountains with the right magic At the intersection, just injecting magic into the ring, you can open a door to the shadow world in normal time and space. I suspect that the ring only sends a signal during this process. The real opening process is a kind of facility by Shadow Fortress. Completed, but I have not found a clue yet...

"...this magnificent building is made of a man-made material, stronger than the rock, it floats in a void, and there is no land around it. There is no glowing object in the sky, this and the shadow field The scenes described in the monograph are consistent...

"My current position should be in the vestibule of this ancient facility. I can see that there is a gate. The outside of the gate is purely empty and dark, which makes people inevitably doubt the meaning of this door - but I am at the gate. Some weird columns were found on the front-range limited platform. I suspect that they are used to fix some kind of transportation, or to fix some kind of mount that can walk through the shadows. The ancient Gangs might have the ability to Exploring in the darkness of the void, after all, they are omnipotent gangsters...

"The other end of the courtyard is the main body of the building, a huge palace or fortress. I have explored a small part of its entrance. It is shocking to me. There are countless corridors and rooms, and empty halls. And the warehouse... I can't imagine how many people worked and lived in this different space facility... It's so big that I suspect that many people can live here for a lifetime, if a newborn is born In this, as long as no one instills the correct knowledge, he may not even know the existence of the outside world...

"Ah, my rich association ability can only be used to relieve boredom, and I can't let me go out from this **** place."

Amber flipped the paper, and in the quiet lounge, only the sound of the paper flipped and the gentle breathing of the three people remained.

"...the fourth day of being trapped.

“I have been thinking about whether I should delve deeper into the depths of the fortress for the past three days, which may mean additional risks: the defense mechanisms in ancient facilities may still be working, and the more likely to be sleeping guards will be awakened by me.

"It is said that the magical guards of the Violet Kingdom can continue to operate for six hundred years after the death of their masters. Those legendary Gangshou Ironman soldiers may be able to run longer...

"But I should probably take some risks - I have been looking for three days in the courtyard and outside the corridor. There is no device to open the space door, and my food and drinking have reached a very dangerous situation. The dead and the ancient guards cut their heads between the latter, the latter may be more benevolent.

"I want to enter the inner corridor.

"... On the sixth day, I was still trapped.

"This **** fortress, why is it so big!! How many cloisters does it have, how many rooms, how many halls! Is the gangster throwing people from a city into the shadow world?

"How superb is the technology of the Gangster Empire. They can build such a fortress in the shadow world. They can let thousands of people live in this space for a long time, and I, one from a thousand years later. The Royal Shadow Guard, in this ancient facility, can only drill around and find a clue, which is really ironic.

"By the way, my water is finished and the food is exhausted.

“On the seventh day, I found an empty room. It used to be some sort of research facility. I saw some platforms with runes and pipes and containers that didn’t work. Unfortunately, all There is no water in the pipes and containers.

"I have to start thinking about things."

"On the eighth day, the key word today is moss.

"Yes, Moss! In this fortress that has been isolated for thousands of years, there is moss! In the shadow world, there is moss!

“They grow in a laboratory-like room. There are a lot of large tubular containers fixed on the ground. The containers are empty, but the outer walls of one of the containers and the nearby walls and floors are full of such cuteness. The little plants. Just like everything else in the shadow world, these mosses are also grayish black, so I almost confused them with ordinary stains at first. Thankfully, I stayed in this room for a little more. meeting……

"The appearance of moss means damp, and dampness means water.

"The taste of moss is bitter, and there is a weird, gum-like taste. They may not be good for my health, but I can't take care of it. Without these mosses, I would never care about it for a few days. My own health problems.

"Moss has restored me some physical strength, and the water they contain is enough to inspire my spirit, but this water is obviously not enough to sustain long-term survival. I collected all the moss on a nearby pipe and squeezed the juice into it. The kettle, I am going to take this little feed, centered on this room and start exploring the surrounding rooms.

"On the ninth day, I didn't find water, but I... saw the figure!

"I can't record my shock at the moment with words. I saw the figure, but the figure flashed through the corner of the room... I'm not sure if it is true.

“Don't those moss contain hallucinogenic ingredients? But I have to rely on them to survive.

"On the tenth day, I found the water! In a place like a multi-person dining, one of the pipes can still flow out of the water! And it is clear water! I think I can live here for a long time!

“Does the appearance of these clean waters mean that some kind of purification device is still running here? Are there more devices in operation?”

Amber seriously looked at each line of the above-mentioned text records, unconsciously biting his lips, as if watching his own adoptive father in such an isolated ancient fortress to explore, survive, see After Surrey Randolph found the water source, she couldn't help but sighed softly: "He may have found a canteen that can be used..."

Gao Wen nodded slightly, and whispered, "I am more curious about what the figure he saw."

"He mentioned it here--" Amber turned over a page, swept over and pointed at the above:

"...I saw the figure again, and there was more than one. I can confirm this time, it is not an illusion, but what happened next made me even more confused and confused.

"Those people are ‘shadows live.’

"They are as sacred as the ones described in the monograph. They are shaped like ghosts. They are wrapped in some kind of ruined sacred cloth. They are free in the shadow world, and they obviously noticed my involuntary guest.

"I am ready for the battle, but the battle has not happened - all academic records say that the shadows of the inhabitants will attack all the material creatures that have entered the shadow world. However, those who live in the shadows are only watching me indifferently, I can be sure of them. I am watching, although those 'wags' have only hollow darkness...

"After the unbearable confrontation, the shadow residents have left, there is no communication between us.

"I don't know what happened."

Amber frowned, and she felt that the shadows of her adoptive father were a bit weird, but there was no way to explain it. I had to put these questions in my heart and continue to look down -

On a new page, Sari Randolph's words continue to record his experience in the Shadow Fortress:

"... On the fourteenth day, I found a room, some of the devices in this room... still running.

“I can’t accurately describe what I’m seeing. Those things are beyond my knowledge. Around a huge pillar, I see a lot of pale yellow translucent oval containers fixed in brackets. Above, the size of those ovoid containers is roughly equivalent to an adult cow...

“There are a lot of pipes that extend from that large struts and connect to the surrounding ovoid containers.

"Almost all the containers are broken, broken, skewed, dropped to the ground, the contents are dry, and in those damaged containers, I saw a lot of small bones.

"It makes me shudder - as a royal film guard, I have seen many miserable scenes and seen many death scenes, but the little bones in those containers are different than the scenes I have seen. Horror, this makes me wonder if the Gangsters of the year were doing something here?

"I checked the room with shock and tension and found her.

"The only complete container, the only one that is still alive.

"She curled up in a liquid and floated in a translucent crystal container, which looked like an amber.

"I can't describe my mood at the moment, but what makes me even more confused is that these crystal containers are exactly the same as the target items described in the mission, which means... the 'things' in the container is what I want to bring back. 'Ancient heritage'.

"My task can be done, but only if I have to find a way to go out, but also go out with this container that people can't start - if you open it, will the little girl inside die directly? It's a tricky thing."

Amber's eyes stared at the paper in front of her eyes. Even though she had already read the contents of this page, she never turned to the next page. Until a minute later, Gao Wen patted her shoulder.

Amber woke up, then took a deep breath and turned over this page -

"... On the fifteenth day, I haven't figured out what to do, but I suddenly realized that I didn't think what I thought: I was trapped here.

"A person who can't even get a living out, but thinks about what to accomplish, is really over-thinking."

"I will put aside the problems that cannot be solved at the moment, and refocus my attention on finding the way out.

"Considering that I am afraid that for the next long time, only the little guy in the amber will be left with me. I gave her a name, called amber.

"But I guess she should have another name - every ovulate container base is engraved with a line of letters, each container has a slightly different letter, they may be the real name (although I doubt The scholars who worked here in the past really did not name a group of experimental products, but it was a thousand years ago, and it is very different from today’s general alphabet, and my Ancient text knowledge happens to be a weakness.

"I can only trace these letters. If one day I can really go alive, maybe the scholars of Wangdu can answer my doubts, let me understand the real name of this little guy, or at least understand the those who were in the past. How do people call her?"

At the end of this page, Surrey Randolph left a big blank. In the blank place, he used a bold font to describe a line that few people could understand in this era. .

Amber stared at the line of letters, and then looked up after a moment, looking at Gao Wen’s eyes: "What do these letters mean? What did I call?"

Gao Wen took back the line of sight from those letters. He silently watched the amber for four or five seconds, and finally he whispered and slowly opened his mouth:

"Man-made man thirty-six."
