The air in the study was a little frozen, and Gao Wen and Amber faced each other across the window, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while.
After a stalemate for a few seconds, Amber finally stepped in with the other leg, and then the whole person sat on the window sill, looking at Gawain with a serious expression: "You shouldn't kill me, right? "
Seriously, Gawain thinks this is the most reliable advice the other party has ever given to himself...
But he still kept his stern face and glared at Amber, and while he put the paper away, he bit his posterior molars: "I am testing out of caution and rigor. I don't know how to mention it. Where are you? It's so cold outside, 80% of them went to hibernation somewhere. You can look for them in the garden pond or beside the Baishui River."
"Good!" A happy smile appeared on Amber's face, and then the whole person turned directly out of the window, and a swimming light and shadow opened in the air. In the next second, she jumped directly from the window sill. Into the shadow rift.
Gao Wen silently looked in the direction where the opponent was disappearing, seriously considered the feasibility of placing anti-infantry mines on the windowsill, and then sighed because of his strong self-control, otherwise the floor of the second floor should have been used by him. I missed my finger...
Then he glanced at the piece of paper he was holding in his hand. The mysterious and complicated pattern on the piece of paper came into his eyes clearly and sharply, and he still didn't seem to have any signs of anomalies.
After hesitating for two or three seconds, Gawain casually raised his hand. The paper instantly turned into ashes in the air and drifted away in the wind. He laughed and laughed at himself and shook his head: "What was in my mind just now..."
...
Amber walked through the shadow world composed of black, white and gray, and felt quite happy.
"Emperor Gawain Cecil", who is always majestic and calm in front of outsiders, will also have a funny side in private. Ordinary people will never imagine that their emperor is actually a joke and spit in daily life. All kinds of things, the sullen sorrow of making fun of others, but she knew she knew them all.
She has been with Gawain for several years, helping the "King of Pioneer" deal with countless troubles and witnessing many interesting things about the "King of Pioneer". Gawain occasionally makes a fuss with unexpected words and deeds or "little fun". In the eyes of outsiders, the "Emperor Gawain" is like a heroic symbol or empire made of steel, but in her eyes, it has always been a living, flesh and blood. People.
In a way, Amber is even better than Rebecca and Heidi in the matter of "treating Gawain Cecil as an ordinary person". After all, although the relationship between the two and Gawain The same closeness, but there is more or less a sense of blood bondage.
However, even if there is such recognition, today, seeing Gao Wen poking a piece of paper full of strange patterns and trying to contact Ms. Ye still shocked Amber.
She feels that this requires great creativity. Anyway, with her creativity, she can't even think of it.
After crossing a slanted and faded street, Amber slowly stopped. She breathed out in the silent shadow world, stretched her waist with a happy smile, and slowly walked towards the bank of the Baishui River. There is nothing to do when I get up anyway.
She raised her head and saw the scenery she was accustomed to, and only her special "Shadow Master" can be regarded as a daily scenery.
She saw the sky without stars, sun and moon showing a kind of hollow grayish white, covering this silent and empty world like a giant screen. The places she could see were houses and long streets arranged in a distorted stacked projection form. The road in front of you stretched towards the sky like a continuously upward slope, and it appeared fragmented in the distance. The houses on both sides of the road were slanted and slanted.
There is a shop next to the intersection not far away, but the second floor of the shop is completely horizontal, and a building like a long sky bridge extends from the right-angled wall, connecting the imperial college in the distance. Next to this heavily distorted architectural projection, you can see an unusually tall "plant" that is said to be a plant, but it is probably just a street lamp, with its dark silhouette pointing straight to the sky and at a height of more than ten meters. Countless shadowy branches were separated, and messy and broken lights hovered quietly above them.
This is the projection of Cecil City in the shadow world in the present world, bizarre and weird.
An orderly and reasonable material world will form such an abnormal projection in the shadow world, as if observing things on the other side through a layer of uneven crystals. All you can see is this abnormal scene. The mages who tried their best to catch a glimpse of the shadowy scenery thought it was quite horrible, but Amber was used to it a long time ago.
And what I have to say... Are the indescribable shadows floating in the sky and the chaotic giants that violate geometric common sense in the shadow world more chaotic than this shadow world? But now she went to the shadow courtyard as if she were going home. She went to the small courtyard of the God of Nature to steal tomatoes to eat. Perhaps there has never been a real "unexplainable state" in the world. The only problem is that It's because the world's cognition is limited.
This chaotic projection in the shadow world...maybe sooner or later it can be explained clearly.
With some thoughts in her mind, she wandered through the distorted and slanted street, brushing her fingers across the cold and rough wall of a building next to her, and saw that there was still a store’s on the wall. On the signboard, the handwriting on the signboard was so blurry that it was completely unclear.
At this stage, no one can explain exactly what the projection rules from the present world to the shadow realm are. Even Amber himself can’t figure this out. Without human intervention, the things in the current world appear in the shadow realm. More or less random. Scholars have studied for so many years. The only thing that can be determined is that things with powerful magic power can form a more "accurate" projection in the shadow world, and the stronger the magic response, the accuracy is also The higher it is.
Perhaps just like the study of the goddess of magic, Milmina, magic is the only "standard scale" and "basic framework" in this universe that can maintain stability in any realm.
But the goddess of magic can only explain the part related to magic. As for the real operating mechanism behind the shadow world... then only Ms. Ye knows. But where is Ms. Ye at this time?
Amber’s mind flashed through the “patterns” that she saw in Gao's room today. She did not have the perverted memory ability of Gao Wen. The totem patterns inscribed in the Voyager space station were actually unclear. But the wonderful sense of "attraction" that she felt when she saw those patterns...that feeling is still very clear to her.
It seemed to be a call from afar, and it seemed to be her own closeness and yearning from the heart. The explanation is not clear, but it does exist.
There was a voice in Mingming telling her that she should respond to this call. All instincts and instincts told her that this call was gentle and harmless. Even deep in her heart... she felt that she should respond to this call. In any case, this At least it can make her understand what she has to do with that "Ms. Night", and understand what the "Ms. Night" has in the end.
And now there is only one reason that prevents her from responding to this call
How does she know how to respond to such a ridiculous thing! This is not the identity verification code on Monet. You know what the opposite number is and you can call it directly...
Amber twitched the corners of her mouth depressedly. Xin said that at this time, we can see the difference between the age of magic and the age of mythology. When someone in the age of magic tells you "always keep in touch with you", they will usually leave you a communication number by the way. If you don’t do anything, leave a house number. Once you feel that "a voice is calling me" in the age of mythology, then basically the clue ends here. If you find 10,000 masters of fortune telling, they will only tell you." When the opportunity of destiny comes, it will be revealed. "The gang of gods didn't even leave a zip code or address.
But there is no way. Humber sighed in her heart. Ms. Ye was a character from 1.87 million years ago. She should really not be able to leave a magic net number when she contacted herself... What did the old Zongzi say, This matter can only rely on "savvy."
But Humber felt that she was born with little savvy, and she suspected that Gao Wen had no savvy, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to talk to Ms. Ye while no one in the study secretly poked the ghost symbol on a piece of paper...
A strange breath suddenly appeared in her perception, and Humber instantly condensed the random thoughts in her mind.
She raised her head to look in the direction of the breath, and saw a few shaking figures at the end of the street projection where the black, white and gray were distinct.
Those figures have a tall and thin appearance, and their bodies are entangled by erratic cloth strips to form human torso and limbs. Among the tangled and loose cloth strips, there is no flesh and blood skin, and some are just like smoke. The heavy shadows that slowly undulate and flow invisibly are like empty bodies wandering in this bizarre shadow world.
"Shadow residents?" Amber looked at the "indigenous people" who were wandering here in surprise, "Why are the shadow residents coming out of this place? It shouldn't be their range of activities..."
The shadow dwellers wander in the shadow world, seeming to be supernatural and extremely dangerous to ordinary people, but Amber has a lot of dealings with these "relatives". She knows that these seemingly "randomly refreshed" shadow dwellers actually have a certain range of activities. And they usually wander along fixed routes. These mysterious and chaotic creatures rarely appear outside of these fixed areas, unless they are irritated by external factors, such as a certain adventurer who ran into their community to harass them every other day. ...
In the shadow world projection area corresponding to the Baishui River, these "indigenous people" have never appeared before. Seeing these swaying figures at this moment, Amber looked particularly surprised, and suddenly his expression became quite cautious.
But she didn't avoid it, but watched as she stood calmly on the side of the road and watched the figures slowly approached her.
Her long black hair floated in the air behind her like smoke, her pointed ears quivered slightly in the air, and her amber and slightly golden eyes stared at these taciturn and weird "comrades."
The inhabitants of the shadows are extremely dangerous and violent to the inhabitants of the material world who break into this place, but Amber does not have to worry about this. These chaotic and mysterious creatures still treat her as a "artificial human" as a compatriot, at least they will not attack.
Those figures finally approached. According to experience, even if they did not attack, they would not take the initiative to pay attention to Amber, the "weird family" in their perception. However, to Amber's surprise, one of the figures suddenly stopped. Coming down, the hollow face wrapped around the rune cloth slowly turned to this side.
A low and vague grunt came into the ears, and Amber was slightly startled.
She could understand the other party's muttering, and the shadow resident said something inexplicable: "You are about to wake up, why are you still here?"
"What do you mean? What's waking up?" Amber's eyes widened and couldn't help asking loudly, "Where should I be if I'm not here?"
The shadow dweller who took the initiative to speak only silently watched Kohaku with his hollow and terrifying face, and when the latter began to feel hairy, he turned around and muttered in a low voice: "He will come to you. , The dream comes to an end."
After saying this, the creature walked straight to the twisted and broken road in the distance, not paying attention to Amber's continued inquiries and calls from behind.
Amber just watched the creature walk away in a daze. She instinctively wanted to catch up and ask for clarity, but at the moment she wanted to take a step, she abruptly stopped her steps.
She felt the breath approaching, and a strange sense of tension came to her mind.
She followed the feeling and looked in the direction of the breath, slowly widening her eyes in the next second, and blurted out with a "fuck".
One figure after another appeared in her sight, in the direction of the few shadow residents who had just arrived. At first, they were only a few small groups at the end of the street, but they became a dense black shadow almost in the blink of an eye. In Amber's perception... a larger aura is still approaching!
"I'm going, this..." She uttered in amazement, and then suddenly ran to the nearby building. Her figure was jumping and tumbling quickly between the slanted exterior walls and the towering stacked stairs. After a while, she climbed to the height of this projection city, and here, she could overlook almost the entire Cecil City.
In the south of the city, in the direction where those figures appeared, she saw the shadow residents who could not be counted!
They wandered from all directions, and gathered in this city of projection into an invisible tide. They moved their steps silently, and their intangible bodies drifted across the streets of the city like ghosts that Amber had just touched. Those figures are just a few "leaders" in this huge team, the real big unit... is constantly moving northward!
Amber was standing on top of a "tall building" made up of several buildings. After seeing the huge team approaching, she instantly hid her body behind a decorative object protruding from the building. A huge sense of tension And the sense of oppression grabbed her heart. Although she did not feel any hostility from that team, she did not feel any threat, but even if she just looked at this "army" composed entirely of shadow residents, she was this "shadow". "Master" can hardly control his heartbeat!
"This...what is this..." Amber murmured in a low voice, as if to relieve the tension in his heart in this way, "The Great Migration of the Shadow Residents is not possible...Should they not notice this? "
In the next second, 126,000 eyes fell on her hiding place at the same time.
