Chapter 1235： Terrible speculation

Gawain did not conceal any concealment or hesitation, and revealed the news from Tarrond to Enya.

The incubation room was quiet. Gao Wen and the others did not speak for a while. Only the pale golden runes on the surface of Enya's eggshells circulated slowly as before, showing that the former dragon gods were falling into thinking.

"The Tower of Reverse Tide..." The first person who couldn't help but speak was Kohaku. The expression on this half-elf's face looked quite nervous, "Should it be..."

"There are two things that cannot be explained clearly now," Enya's voice came from the eggshell. "First, Modil's special state does not seem to be the result of being polluted by the back tide, but it is obviously related to the disappearance of the ancient times. What is the connection between the goddess of shadow and the goddess of shadow? Second, Modil was in a normal state when he left the tower of the tower of the tides, and he even had many years of adventure records circulating after that. Yushi, and I can be sure that after he left that year, he never returned to Talrond until the day of the'coming of age', let alone contact with the Tower of the Upstream, so his weird state could not be contact with the Upstream. The result of the tower-then where did he come into contact with the erosion of the power of the gods?"

"So we have always suspected that this matter has something to do with Violet," Kohaku said immediately. "That country is mysterious, and it feels like there are some great secrets hidden in it. To be honest, if we learn about it someday I’m not surprised that the power of the gods is hidden in a huge island—perhaps Modil Wilde had been to Violet back then and was polluted by the gods there, and even established a connection with Lady Night?"

As soon as Amber’s voice fell, Gawain on the side shook his head slightly: “Unfortunately, the city of a thousand towers has officially responded to us. They deny that Modil Wilde ever visited Violet.”

"This is just their denial, no one knows what the facts are," Amber couldn't help but muttered, "but then again, if Modil Wilde is really contaminated in Violet, then this matter Maybe it really has nothing to do with the Tower of Upheaval, but we can breathe a sigh of relief..."

No one spoke for a while, and no one responded to Amber’s muttering. It was only a few seconds later that the voice from Enya's eggshell broke the silence: "There is no absolute in the world..."

"Great adventurer..." Gawain suddenly tapped his forehead with a little headache. "This is really a headache. Modil has been to too many places and too many suspicious things in his life. , So that it seems that any clue can find a connection on him, and the two areas that can't be reached are likely to overlap on him..."

"My friend, what are you going to do with this matter?" Enya said suddenly, "Regardless of whether there is really any connection behind all this, we can be sure of at least two points: The Tower of Rebellion cannot be left there forever, and Mo The deteriorating situation of Dill Wilde cannot be delayed. Our discussion here is of no avail. At least there should be a concrete response."

Gao Wen did not speak for a while, he frowned and fell into deep thinking and weighing, but Amber on the side said: "If you can directly blow up that tower..."

"Which things left by the sailor can be blown up so easily?" Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf helplessly, and then his expression became serious, as if he had made some decision and said, "I may need to Go to Tarrond yourself."

As soon as this statement came out, Maggie, who had been standing beside him quietly and without speaking, suddenly widened her eyes in surprise: "Your Majesty? You are going to go in person..."

"Are you going to Tarrond again?!" Maggie didn't finish her words, and Amber on the side opened her eyes wide. "Think of it clearly, this time going to Tarrond is not as safe as the last time. And now there are a lot of things on Loren's side, whether it is the coordination of the alliance members, the routes around the mainland, and the affairs of the empire, all of which are major issues...

Gao Wen smiled and shook his head before Amber finished speaking: "Everything that needs me to deal with is a big deal, but there are many things here that at least someone can deal with it on my behalf-I don’t want to deal with the tower of reverse tide. Dare to let others come in contact. As for safety and insecurity... I didn't do so much for safety, not to mention the last trip to Tarrond... Actually, it was not safe to go, did it?"

While talking, he glanced at the golden dome next to him with a smile, and then Enya's helpless voice came from the eggshell: "My friend, the last time I invited you was sincere..."

"I'm not kidding, your own existence at that time was too dangerous," Gawain smiled and waved his hand, then his expression became serious. "This matter is set first, but Heidi and Bird need to be set. Wen and they made some arrangements to make preparations for the Government Affairs Department. Amber, you are responsible for informing them after you go back, and you also make preparations to properly maintain the domestic situation while I am away."

Humber just subconsciously nodded, and then reacted: "Huh? You won't take me this time?"

"This time is different from last time," Gawain nodded slowly, and said with a serious expression. "This time I am no longer dealing with mortal forces. Your talent in intelligence and penetration is over there. I don’t have much room to play, and I am more worried about leaving many things in the country to others than taking you to Tarrond."

"...Okay," Amber thought for a while, and felt that Gawain's words made sense, but his ears were still a little drooping, "Then listen to you."

……

Amber and Maggie left first. The former needed to arrange her work, and the latter experienced a long-distance flight from Tarrond to Beigang and then from Beigang to Cecil City. The tired body needed some rest. In addition, the two wyrmlings were taken away by Betty before returning, and the hatching room was quiet for a while, leaving only Enya and Gaowen.

In this quiet atmosphere, one person and one egg were thinking about their own affairs. For a long time, Gao Wen broke the silence with some apologetics: "I seem to come to you only when I am in trouble."

"Compared with the past, the'trouble' you have caused now can only be regarded as the pleasure of adjusting life to me," Enya said in a mild, low voice, "you don't need to apologize for this, on the contrary, I I'd rather see that you can bring so much'trouble'-which means that you are not content with the status quo, which means that you are still moving towards your ambitious goal."

Gao Wen couldn't help but his mouth turned upwards: "Is that so?"

"Of course," Enya said with a smile, "I am very pleased with that, and what makes me particularly pleased is that you decided to go to Tarrond for the second time this time..."

Gao Wen couldn't help being a little curious: "Is there anything special about this?"

"This shows that you have not been fooled by the brilliant achievements you have created so far," Enya said in a serious tone, "and this is what I have always worried about the most-when you succeed in making this land prosperous. , Fulfilled your initial commitment to the people, when you established an alliance, and dozens of countries in the alliance regarded you as the biggest pillar; when you restarted the route around the continent, this season, the largest civilization in history The river of trade began to flow; when you successfully established the theocracy council, let all the power of the world and the theocracy be used for your own use-when you have done all of this and put it on other people, even if one contributes to it, it is enough to stay in history. After the incident, I am very happy to see that you are still willing to leave your palace and go to a wasteland to solve the crisis in person.

"I have known many great mortals. I have gone through their lives and seen their great achievements. It is not that no one has done those things like you, but few people are still willing to commit risks after completing these many great deeds. …Sometimes it doesn’t mean they are cowardly and slack. Sometimes it’s just a wise choice out of safety, but in all fairness, I appreciate your choice more... and I believe that it’s not just because you are an'extraterritorial wanderer.' '."

"Extraterritorial Wanderer... this title really doesn't have much practical significance. I'm just a traveler, and I don't even know where I am going to go next." Gao Wen laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "But since my The first stop is here, then I have to do what I promised before, and besides... the world is so dangerous, I dare not slack off casually."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while before looking at Enya with a solemn expression: "You tell me the truth, about the Tower of Upsurge...Are you also worried about the pollution inside actually... "

"The little dragonborn girl was here just now. I don't want my words to make her too nervous." The golden runes on the surface of Enya's eggshell slowed down her wandering speed. "...Just like you guessed, I really doubt the inverse. Unknown changes have taken place inside the Tower of Tide."

Gao Wen said immediately: "Isn’t there still no evidence that Modil Wilde’s vision is related to the pollution of the reverse tide? Although he did appear to be chased by the ancient gods only after he approached the tower of the reverse tide. Signs, but the ancient **** chasing him is obviously Lady Ye, not the tide..."

"This is what I worry about," Enya interrupted Gawain. "The most likely opportunity for Modil to be contaminated by the gods is the experience of stepping into the tower of the tide, but now it is The Shadow Goddess, who has been missing for more than 1.8 million years, is what I worry about the most."

A terrible conjecture suddenly appeared in Gao Wen's mind: "You mean..."

"Adverse tide... is possible to pollute the gods," Enya's voice was low, and she slowly uttered a truth that stunned Gawain. "Even more directly, the tendency to pollute the gods by the reverse tide may be better than the tendency to pollute the mortals. more obvious."

"The tendency to pollute the gods?!" Gao Wen's eyes widened, "Why does it have this nature? Isn't its main feature to instill taboo knowledge into mortals?"

Enya's voice sounded from the eggshell: "Instilling taboo knowledge into mortals is the unformed'divine title' of Adversity, and it is the manifestation of his divinity, but don’t forget, on what basis Adversity was born in the first place. of."

"The basis for the birth of the contrarian..." Gao Wen understood Enya's meaning after a little thought, "You mean... the legacy of the sailor?"

"The essence of the upsurge is the'deified product' of the sailor's legacy, and the legacy left by the sailor...has one of the biggest'missions' to deal with the gods on this planet," Enya said unhurriedly "This'mission' is very likely to become one of the essence of the counter-tide along with the'deification' of the sailor's legacy, so that he has the tendency to chase and invade the gods."

Gao Wen finally fully understood Enya's concern: "So... after learning about Modil's weird situation, the most worrying thing you worry about is that the tide has found Miss Night in hiding and stared at the ancient god? "

"Ms. Ye’s connection with this world has been severed for more than 1.8 million years. Such a long period of time is enough to weaken the once extremely powerful ancient god. If the tide wants to find a suitable prey, then Ms. Ye is obviously The best option. Secondly, Ms. Ye has no real believers and messengers in this world, which means that even if something goes wrong with him, the world will not be aware of it, and other gods will not pass through the "believers" all over the world. The Eye's learned that there was an ancient **** who had been conspired by the reverse tide. This is a'prey' who can't stun snakes..."

Listening to Enya's low voice analysis, Gawain felt that he had already had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, but the question also emerged from his heart at the same time: "Wait, you didn't say that the so-called'God of Adversity' and Isn't there a complete reason? He doesn't even have a reason. He can make such complicated judgments and arrangements?"

"Adversity really does not have complete reason, so he will not make too complicated plans, but he will follow instinct to find ways to get out of trouble or become stronger, and the instinct of gods..." Enya paused. It seems to be thinking about what kind of language can be used to explain this concept more concisely and easily. "The instinct of gods is something more complicated than the instincts of mortals. It sometimes points directly to a'successful result', and for To achieve this successful result, the gods can take a series of actions without thinking process-this is essentially a mechanism that appears to satisfy the condition of'responding to the wishes of believers', but in some cases, it can also allow Under the instinct, the reverse tide completed a perfect'predation'."

"Doesn't this mean that the Shadow Goddess is in a very dangerous situation?" Gawain suddenly became a little nervous, "So Modil was chased by the power of the Shadow Goddess. The real reason is most likely because the pollution of the tide uses him as a springboard. Connected to Ms. Ye’s'hiding place'? He has become a medium for transmitting pollution?"

"Now you know what I am most worried about," Enya said in a deep voice, "Once my speculation is true, and once the reverse tide really pollutes and swallows an ancient god, then he has a chance to complete the transformation. ', to complete the last step of'maturity' that He failed to complete in ancient times. He will change from an unformed'embryo' to a formed god, and this **** is completely free from any clergy and dogma. There is no initial perception of'protecting mortals'..."

Gao Wen added Enya’s last sentence: "Because the mortals who need him to shelter...were extinct more than one million years ago."

Enya sighed: "Conjecture in a worse direction. Perhaps he will have a little bit of instinct to'protect mortals', and then this instinct will be distorted into an impulse to'revenge for the people."
