Chapter 238 The Last Survivor

As more and more clues are revealed, the secrets hidden in this ancient facility seem to be gradually unveiled. For the well-informed Gawain, it seems that the truth that once lived here must be pieced together from these clues. Not difficult.

Obviously, this ancient ruins built in the late Spark Age is not as simple as he first guessed - this ruins is not a cutting-edge development base, nor is it just a taboo research institute to study the secrets of gods. The hidden facilities in the alien space reveal its true purpose: this is a kind of "fortress" built to resist disasters and continue human civilization.

Whether it is the "God's Sin Research" born in the ruins in the mountains, or the flesh and blood of the gods in the seal, or these dry corpses and the last communication from the empire, they are all evidence of fighting against the disaster.

This disaster is most likely the "magic tide" that destroyed the Gondor Empire 700 years ago.

His previous speculation was confirmed: as early as the Starfire Age, the magisters of the Gondor Empire were aware of the existence of the magic tide and made preparations for it three hundred years in advance, considering the scale of the ruins. , behind this whole incident there must be the support of the Gondor royal family back then, but there are many things he can't understand:

If humans in the age of sparks were aware of the existence of the magic tide, why did this information fail to survive? So that when the magic tide really exploded seven hundred years ago, the human empire was caught off guard and collapsed almost without resistance.

If the information stored in the communication equipment was transmitted from the empire after the explosion of the magic tide, then obviously the imperial family of the empire at that time knew about the existence of this frontier fortress, then they should have known that the magic tide was coming, but why did not Take action?

Or... In fact, the Gondor royal family at that time had already taken action, but no evidence and news had come out?

This is not impossible, because the magic tide was centered on the imperial capital, and it destroyed the communication network of the entire kingdom in the first moment, and then no one came out from the hinterland of the empire, even if the emperor of Gondor at that time did something, I'm afraid no one will know...

But in any case, a catastrophe predicted by scholars as early as a thousand years ago,

Moreover, the ruler of the empire at that time still carried out such a large-scale "preservation project" in private, but in the end no information was preserved. When the disaster really broke out 700 years ago, the entire empire was at a loss. This is really shocking It is difficult for people to understand.

Even if he thought about the idea of ​​"controlling the leakage of news because of fear of causing panic", Gawain thought it was too bizarre.

In addition, he was also curious about the "survivors" in this facility - the ruins in the mountains were sealed off a thousand years ago, and the official explosion of the magic wave was three hundred years after that, and there were three in between. For centuries, the survivors in the facility have been alive?

This has completely exceeded the lifespan limit of human beings. Even if a powerful mortal professional can use magic to extend his lifespan, it can only be extended for two or three hundred years. However, looking at the content of the communication, the people in this facility Not only can you live for three hundred years, but even after that?

Despite the fact that they are all dead...

Gawain's eyes wandered in the hall, trying to find more clues that might give him hints, and at this moment, Heidi, who was illuminating the surroundings with the magic light ball on the top of his wand, and carefully studying the remains of the ancient mages, suddenly had a clue. Now: "Ancestor! Come and see this!"

Gawain came to Hetty and saw Hetty pointing at the back of the chair behind one of the corpses: "Here is a line of words!"

Gawain frowned and read the line: "Benjamin Horston, Gondor 176o."

The surrounding soldiers also turned their attention to the seats. Suddenly, everyone noticed the handwriting that they had ignored: "There is also here!" "And here!" "There are on the backs of all chairs!"

Gawain thought of something in an instant, he looked at the names written on the back of the chair one by one, and quickly read on: "Claude Pirin, Gondor 179o... Lofili Pardini, just now Tudor 1782...Meleria Horston, Gondor 18o9...Pal Burlinge, Gondor 192o..."

"These are..." Hetty opened his mouth in surprise, "These people's..."

"Their names, and the year of their death, this is the only explanation," Gao Wen said solemnly, "These people did not die here at the same time, but were transported here after their death, and the person who transported them still The names of the deceased and the date of death are written on their seats. If I'm not mistaken... the last person who died did the job, or the living took over."

He raised his head and looked around the semi-circular hall with nearly a thousand seats, imagining the mentality of the survivors who stayed here to spend these long years: "These seats... their graves..."

"Gondor 176o... Gondor 179o..." Hetty looked at the years on the seats, and suddenly reacted, "The Gondor calendar ended in 174o! There was a magic wave that year, and after that... …”

"Yes, the earliest years we have seen so far are after Gondor 174o," Gawain nodded solemnly, "These people only started to die after the explosion of the magic tide 700 years ago, and I The most recent year I've seen is Gondor 213o, three hundred years ago."

Heidi showed a sad expression: "That is to say, at least some of them lived until that time... At that time, Ansu had been established for four hundred years... But they didn't know what was going on outside, they were sealed here, and they were still alive. I thought the outside world had been wiped out..."

Gawain was also deeply embarrassed, but he noticed that Tyre, who was not far away, was acting a little weird: Miss Siren coiled her tail in circles and supported herself in the air like a spring. She was looking around there, with a smile on her face. With a hint of curiosity and alertness.

He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Till, what have you found?"

"Shh!" Miss Kraken immediately bowed down, and she quickly arched to Gawain's side, "I don't know if it's an illusion, just now I seemed to feel a magical reaction flashing around here."

"Magic reaction?" Heidi frowned, "Why didn't I feel it?"

"How powerful are you to have elemental creatures who have a keen sense of magic?" Tyr gave Heidi a disdainful look, "and there are many special magic reactions that you humans can't feel at all!"

Gawain didn't take Tyre's words as a joke, he immediately activated his magic perception skills cautiously, and asked the surrounding soldiers to be more vigilant. However, in the vision of magic perception, all he saw was a fog, and there was nothing at all. Special magic reaction.

After turning off the magic power perception, he looked at Tyr and was about to ask what the magic power sensed by the other party was like, but at this moment, a sudden alert made him suddenly turn his body away, and at the same time, the pioneer in his hand Zhe's long sword blocked in front of him - almost at the same time, two dazzling electric arcs appeared out of nowhere in the air, one arc was hitting the position he had just stood on, and the other arc hit a solid hit. The blade of the Trailblazer's Longsword!

With two snaps, the two arcs vanished into nothingness, and the previously completely hidden magical response was finally no longer covered up. Along with a burst of powerful energy fluctuations, Hetty saw a sudden appearance above the open ground at the front of the semicircular hall. A shadow filled with brilliance appeared, it was a creature with a vaguely human outline, his whole body was shrouded in bright thunder and lightning, and some violent energy constituted his body and internal organs, and the pieces were engraved with Austrian. The armor piece of the magic rune is suspended on the surface of the creature, just like the rune shackles that are summoned to the elemental creature in this world, there is some incredible way to maintain the shape of this "mana humanoid".

This creature just appeared out of thin air. The powerful energy escaping from his body even made the air around it distorted by the heat. This creature was obviously full of anger and hostility. The two lightning bolts just now were his masterpiece. After showing his body, he immediately brewed a new round of attacks: two bright balls of lightning quickly condensed on both sides of his body!

"Ancestor be careful!" Hetty instantly cast the most powerful mana shield she could unleash on Gawain at the current level, and then began to chant various incantations that could increase spell resistance— - She felt the magic power that could be described as horror from that incredible creature. In the face of this magic power, she had no idea how effective her spells would be.

The soldiers behind Gawain reacted after a short period of surprise. The strange creature was indeed frightening, but the conditioned reflex generated by long-term training still caused these elite soldiers to raise their weapons subconsciously. The next second , more than a dozen scorching rays bombarded the strange creature wrapped in electric light.

The creature probably didn't expect the counterattack to come so quickly, and it was a continuous flow of magic attacks. He was hit by one after another in astonishment, and the ball of lightning condensed beside him disappeared with a bang—however. Only the second-level scorching rays obviously can't cause fatal damage to this powerful mana creature that may have survived for hundreds of years. The surface of his body formed by arcane energy ripples with layers of ripples, and all the attacks are resolved. The lightning balls regrouped beside him.

However, Gawain has already relieved the paralysis caused by the lightning strikes the long sword in this short time difference. Before the new attack came, he had raised the long sword, and his body turned into a continuous afterimage in the high charge. , and all the afterimages converged in front of the mana creature in the next second - a layer of magical brilliance floated on the surface of the pioneer's sword, and the blade heavily slashed the largest piece of silver-white armor on the surface of the enemy's body. a.

At the last moment, this powerful mana creature condensed an exceptionally strong shield. Although Gawain's attack destroyed the opponent's shield, he did not completely split the armor piece. The split flew out, and the latter left a long scorch mark on the ground with a series of electric lights, and before he got up, Gawain rushed up again.

The mana creature was embarrassed and condensed a cross of icicles, blocking the sharp sword in Gawain's hand, and the next second, the exclamation from his body stopped Gawain's movements abruptly.

The mana creature exclaimed in disbelief: "Are you real?!"
