Sword of Daybreaker - Chapter 1530 Unexpected Confluence

Modir can't remember most of the adventures he's been through, and those journeys, whether glorious or thrilling or interesting, are now only fragmented fragments in his mind, and occasionally they become the messy fragments of midnight dreams. , but most of the time all they were left with was a sense of familiarity, a familiarity that made him feel like he had been somewhere and experienced something every now and then.

This kind of familiarity cannot be regarded as a mature experience, but sometimes, it can also help him make judgments on some extraordinary things, such as the city of a thousand towers that should be in front of him, but no matter how he looks for it. .

Listening to the old mage's judgment, Maggie couldn't help shaking her head, and there was a sound of friction from the mechanical structure transmission on both sides of the slightly hideous black dragon head: "What do you mean, the city of a thousand towers is currently in the A state where we can't see, can't touch, or even 'pass through the wall' when we walk in the middle?"

"It's just a guess, I... don't know why I think so, but I always feel that I may have experienced something similar," Modier's tone was a little uncertain, "Some things exist in parallel with our real world, They may lie between the real world and a certain realm, and thus disappear from all dimensions, and only appear when viewed in a certain way, or waited for a certain moment."

"Then what do we do now?" Maggie looked back at the temporary camp that was built when the expedition team arrived in this wilderness. Several Iron Ranger soldiers were working in the camp, checking equipment and reinforcing the camp, and several others Soldiers are patrolling the edge of the forest, alert to all the dangerous factors in the floating light and shadow, "We have been stranded here for four days, and we have searched everywhere but found nothing. Mistress Victoria sent an inquiry this afternoon."

"…Another day of camping," Modir thought about it, and finally nodded, "I will test several different perception and phase switching spells, and by the way, I will sort out my memory and ideas. If there is no progress after tonight, we will First go around the dense forest to the north, so that even if you can't find the city of a thousand towers, you can record and file all the 'monuments' around the city of a thousand towers."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements in a moment," Maggie nodded, and then she seemed to think of something, "but... since we left the first stone pile monument, we haven't been near the next stone piles. Seeing that magical intelligence calling herself 'Benadido' again, it always seemed that her original invitation was somewhat suspicious. And she was the one who invited us to the city of a thousand towers. Now we may have been at the entrance, but she still does not appear…"

"If the city of a thousand towers is really in a state of 'cracks' as I guessed, then it must not be so easy for Bernadette, who lives in the city, to communicate with the outside world," Modier was quite open. " Maybe she also needs to be able to contact us at a certain time or at a certain 'node'... Well, this is an idea, and I can look for clues in this regard when I do the magic test tonight."

Maggie glanced at the great adventurer quietly, and did not mention any additional comments. Although Modir has the problem of forgetfulness, as a legendary mage, the old man's insights and abilities in the transcendent field are beyond doubt. And he has some experience with strange things (although most of these experiences are messy), in this case, she'd better trust the old man's judgment.

"Then I'll arrange the night guard for today." Miss Heilong bent her neck slightly, turned and walked towards the camp.

But as soon as she took two steps out, an unfamiliar smell from the direction of the forest suddenly stopped her, and then she heard a faint commotion in that direction, and Maggie immediately turned her neck to look at the movement. In the direction from which they came, Modier next to them naturally put ten layers of mage armor on each of them, and at the same time picked up the battle staff in the other hand: "There seems to be a situation over there."

"There is our dark post there, but it doesn't seem like we have found the enemy." Maggie replied in a low voice. At this time, the soldiers in the camp also noticed the abnormal noise in the direction of the forest. Several soldiers formed a team and quickly moved towards Maggie. Ji and Modier moved closer, but not long after everyone entered the state of combat readiness, a group of figures walked out from the edge of the forest. The group of figures also included two ranger soldiers who served as dark posts in the forest.

Maggie breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the clothes of those figures. She did not remove her black dragon form, but she motioned the soldiers beside her to put down their weapons temporarily: "Don't be nervous, it's the expedition team of the Typhons."

While talking, the group of figures had already left the edge of the forest. After walking out of the shaded area where the light and shadow floated, their faces became clearer instantly. It was a group of elite soldiers wearing black light armor or short mage robes. Clothing and sidearms all indicate their identities. This is a Typhon expedition that landed on Violet Island from the east coast, and Modir and the ranger warriors he leads are no strangers to the existence of this expedition.

At present, all the countries in the alliance are aware of the disappearance of the Violet Kingdom overnight. Several countries located in the northern part of the mainland and have direct communication with the Violet Kingdom have sent their own explorers one after another. Among all these countries, only Cecil and The exploration teams of the two empires of Typhon have reached such a deep position. They landed from the south coast and the east coast of Violet Island respectively, and marched along two different routes towards the City of Thousand Towers. The rear headquarters of both sides were in action. They maintained exchanges in China, and Typhon and Cecil also used this as a channel, and occasionally shared and exchanged some intelligence, but this was the first time the two groups met directly.

And it seems that the Typhons were discovered by the dark whistle in the forest. The previous slight disturbance should have been caused by the surprise of the two sides after the sudden encounter. Fortunately, both sides are well-trained professionals, so even if It was a sudden encounter in the shadowy forest where light and shadow floated and the inexplicable inexplicable, and there was no Oolong accident that caused any accidental casualties.

"Looks like we finally have neighbors here," Maggie took a half-step forward and lowered her head slightly to look at the group of Typhonians with somewhat embarrassed expressions on their faces, "I received news last time that You've been around here, but didn't expect us to be in this situation... eh? Ms. Diana? You actually led the team yourself?"

Standing in the middle of this group of Typhons is one of the most trusted lieutenants of Augustus the Great, the "chief maid" in the Obsidian Palace, Ms. Diana.

The appearance of this upper-level commander of the Typhon Empire took Maggie by surprise. She did not expect that such a person would go to such a place to lead the team in person, but the latter's expression was quite indifferent, and Diana looked up at her. The ferocious black dragon, with a calm tone like a 300-pound maid maid: "I'm sorry, our sudden appearance caused a misunderstanding by your sentry, we originally planned to wait until we left the forest area before contacting you by agreed method. , but I didn't expect to meet your sentinel in the forest."

Diana's words were flat, but the Typhon warriors beside her were a little more embarrassed than before. It's no wonder that after all, all the people who can follow the "maid" all the way to the deepest part of Violet Island are wanderers. The elite of the troops, as a team that is best at special operations and stealth operations in the Typhon military system, they have always had their own pride. Even if Cecil and Typhon are allies now, it is inevitable that these teams operating outside will meet when they meet. It will be a bit of a competition of skills, and the result of this competition is that they were discovered by two secret sentries without even knowing where the Cecil camp was... This time, it should not be ridiculed as a negative teaching material among the wanderers. Go next time?

However, these unfortunate rogue soldiers also had some comfort in their hearts. After all, they were not the only ones who were discovered, and even Lady Diana, who led the team, did not understand when the warning spell set by the Cecil people in the forest was triggered, and the sky fell. Come down, the organic lady is holding it...

"Rangers have always acted cautiously, and we have a more cautious and experienced great adventurer as an advisor," Maggie backed slightly at this time, and in a burst of light, she returned to a black-haired maid in human form. Of course, she also noticed the embarrassment on the faces of these Typhons, "We arrived here four days ago, and now the surrounding forest is full of detection runes and vigilant eyes set up in the past four days. , in this case, even the legendary powerhouse will be accidentally discovered."

As soon as these words came out, the rogue soldiers who were discovered by the dark whistle suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but Diana, who was in charge of leading the team, immediately noticed the key words in Maggie's words: "You arrived four days ago? The city of a thousand towers…”

"As you can see, we are still wandering in this wilderness," Maggie smiled wryly and spread out her hands, "Ashamed to say, we have turned over almost every stone in this wilderness for the past four days. , and did not find any traces of the city of a thousand towers. Now we suspect that the city is hidden in the cracks parallel to the real world, hidden from our perception, but other than this speculation, we still do not have any progress."

Diana frowned. Although Cecil and Typhon carried out a certain degree of intelligence sharing, this sharing was subject to various restrictions, and there was a certain lag, so she did not know that the past four The Cecilians who arrived in the target area early in the sky encountered trouble here, and now it seems...they encountered the most troublesome situation when exploring the "vision area".

The monsters in the wilderness can be destroyed by force, the traps in the ruins can rely on prudence and dexterity, even if it is a runaway ancient magic, there are many corresponding knowledge and skills that can be cracked, but a city that is close to the eyes but cannot be observed. ...how to deal with this thing?

At this time, Diana couldn't help but think of the reputation of some Cecil troops outside. It is said that some Cecils who were trained by Princess Rebecca are extremely good at solving problems with explosions. Once the immediate trouble reaches a certain level At this level, they will choose to immediately set off a large number of explosives... Now it seems that it is fortunate that the princess who led the team to carry out this kind of exploration mission is not the princess, otherwise she will only be able to bring the soldiers to the ruins of the Pit of Thousand Pagodas today. Overnight beside...

"We are going to camp here for one more night, and Master Modir will try some detection spells that have not been tried before to find the 'opening' of the City of a Thousand Towers in the real world," Maggie continued, "You can We camp nearby, so that the two sides can take care of each other. If you have any ideas for finding the city of a thousand towers, you can also test it yourself.”

Diana looked back at the soldiers she brought, and at the direction of the Cecil camp, and did not reject Maggie's proposal: "Okay, then we will have more troubles."

On the other side, Modier watched Maggie finish negotiating with Diana, and felt that he had nothing to do here, so he waved his hand: "Then if there is nothing, I will go to the forest south of the camp to set up a warning rune, The dark whistle was triggered just now, and the vigilance rune should have consumed a lot..."

As he spoke, the great adventurer had already walked to the forest not far away. Behind him was a group of Typhon wanderer soldiers who were paying attention. Diana, who led the team, followed him for a long time. With an indifferent expression, after the old mage walked away, he couldn't help but whispered: "Although it is a bit embarrassing to ask... But how many warning runes have you set up near the camp? I have always been secretive about my own actions. I'm pretty confident in my abilities, but..."

Maggie glanced at Ms. Diana and couldn't help but feel a little joy in her heart. She just thought that this lady was really as precise and ruthless as a machine. Now it seems that she is still the same about her team being caught by two secret whistleblowers. The indifferent expression on her face is probably just because the iron man's head is too hard...

The murmur in her heart flashed, and Maggie still maintained a gentle and friendly smile on her face. She raised her finger and pointed to the forest where the Typhons came out: "Did you see those trees? The ones you walked through. Every tree..."

"You set up warning runes on every tree around the camp?!" Before Maggie could finish speaking, a rogue soldier behind Diana's eyes widened in astonishment, "No wonder..."

"No, I mean every leaf on every tree," Maggie corrected with a serious look on her face, "every leaf has been marked with magic by Master Modir, and this is only the first three days, until On the fourth day, he even marked the grass around the tree, so I said that you don't have to be embarrassed. This is, if you change to a legendary powerhouse, you will still be discovered, and it will be difficult for anyone to come.

"In fact, not to mention that forest, there are even more than 1,600 magic traps piled up around the camp in the Shadow Realm, because the old man always feels that someone in the Shadow Realm wants to harm him..."

Diana listened in astonishment. After Maggie finished speaking, she thought about it seriously, and she just died...

Diana's sudden crash really startled the surrounding Typhon soldiers, but fortunately, the maintenance and overhaul she did on the Ophelia Matrix before was in place, and the crash was quick to restart. Lady Iron Man woke up leisurely, and after a series of drips and creaking sounds came from all over her body, she said, "Why is this..."

Maggie opened her mouth. She knew why, but she really didn't know how to speak. After all, the ancestor who was a good friend of Ji had to worry about the image of the old man in front of outsiders. After all...

Legendary powerhouses usually don't have much experience of being chased and beaten, but if a legendary powerhouse is beaten by all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods every once in a while, then he will become like this.
