Sword of Dawn

In the drowsy and silent ancient city, only the footsteps of a visitor broke the ancient tranquility. The sound of boots stepping on the ground echoed in the long street, and the steeple houses on both sides of the street watched that person like guards lined up silently. The figure walking down the long street, the dark doors, the dark walls, and the black windows embedded in the walls are like speechless mouths and empty eyes, maintaining a strange silence under the gray sky.

Gao Wen even had some kind of illusion. He felt that the houses facing the street seemed to be casting a series of gazes, and some kind of gazes across time and space were falling on him blankly. The owners of these gazes came from 1807 million Since years ago, he has lived in this city simulated by some kind of data technology. It was the ancient times of this planet. Even the giant dragons of Tarrond were called "Northern Barbarians", and even the Dragon Clan The age when the city of God was still young and immature—these gazes from across time and space were empty and indifferent, and became more and more real as Gao Wen moved forward.

In the end, Gao Wen stopped on the street. He stood on the spot and pondered for a while, then turned and walked straight to the house closest to him, and pulled open the wooden door that was concealed.

A tall and thin figure, wrapped in a black runecloth belt, stood at the door, and bounded by the runecloth belt was a mass of chaotic black mist in the shape of a human - a shadow dweller, standing there with its facial features Gao Wen's face and Gao Wen looked at each other. Of course, there was no change in expression on the rune cloth, but Gao Wen felt that this guy was a little embarrassed.

Gao Wen recalled some knowledge about the shadow dwellers - these mysterious shadow dwellers will not deal with "outsiders", and they have been in a chaotic state that could get out of control at any time for a long time, and the shadow dwellers will actively attack any stepping Intruders into its territory, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

But Gawain confronted the shadow resident in front of him for two seconds, and at the first moment he felt that the other person seemed to be different from what he knew. Inside the door, Gawain still sensed a feeling of being able to communicate with him. This feeling is very subtle, but Gawain is almost sure that the "shadow dweller" in front of him is the same as the one known by the world. Not the same.

Suddenly, a cognition appeared in his mind out of thin air—this is the shadow dweller who returned to the city of a thousand towers, after completing the ceremony of "returning to the night", after wandering in chaos for more than 100 million years The shadow dwellers who have finally reached the end.

And at the moment when this cognition emerged from his heart, Gao Wen noticed that there seemed to be some changes in the clouds and mist in the body of the shadow dweller in front of him, and some ripples appeared on the face of the other party who had no facial features. Blessed to the heart, he asked casually: "What are you looking at?"

The shadow resident on the opposite side was silent for two seconds, probably not reacting at once, and then a vague and trembling voice sounded from the depths of his "bandage": "...Look at the fun."

It is possible to communicate!

Even though Gao Wen took the initiative to ask the question, to be honest, he really didn't expect to hear the answer from the other party. When the chaotic and indistinct voice reached his ears, even he was blindfolded, and then he reacted instantly, He suddenly looked up and looked around the entire street.

In every house in this city, behind every door and every window, there is a line of sight, and every line of sight comes from "them", this is their "true state" - the original shadow dwellers It is possible to communicate, and the past situation of non-communication and blind attack is nothing but a long sleepwalking.

A lot of fragmented information about the Shadow Realm in the past was quickly put together at this moment. The series of huge and far-reaching impacts on the Shadow Realm, the Shadow Residents, and the Violet Kingdom during Lady Ye's sleep and return had become in Gawain's mind. The chain is clear, but these storms in his mind did not affect Gao Wen's conversation with the aborigine in front of him. He quickly collected himself and looked at the tall and thin figure in front of him: "Come on, you are all watching the fun behind the door." Woolen cloth?"

The tall, thin and weird black figure was silent for two seconds again, and pointed to a row of houses in the distance: "No, there are still some behind the windows."

"...Is there something wrong with you?" Gao Wen's expression almost froze for a moment. The eerie, eerie, and mysterious atmosphere that had been haunting him since he stepped into the city of a thousand towers was now shattered. The void staring across time and space that he felt along the way turned out to be physically real, and there really was a whole city of shadow dwellers hiding behind the door and staring at him. Thinking of this, he felt Another layer of goosebumps appeared, and another sense of creepiness emerged from the bottom of my heart, "It's your custom to hide behind the doors and windows and stare at the guests?"

"The hostess said that the guests have come from afar and are not used to the scenery in the city, so let us stay at home and not come out to scare people," the tall, thin and strange black shadow said honestly, "but he didn't say that we can't watch the excitement secretly ..."

Gao Wen: "...Is your mistress a little..."

He really couldn't hold back at this time. Although what happened during the journey to visit the ancient god's domain can be regarded as a "expected" situation, but the current situation really made him unable to adapt. He wanted to say something about tigers and wolfs, but just in the middle of his words, a slightly lazy and majestic voice suddenly descended from a high altitude, interrupting all his movements: "Sorry, it seems to have caused you a little bit. bothered."

The moment the voice appeared, Gao Wen felt a gaze with a majestic aura fall on him, and he heard the voice echoing throughout the city, as if even the breath of heaven and earth froze in these words. After he got down, he realized the source of the sound and sight—he looked in the direction he felt, and what he saw was his previous target, which was the dark palace standing in the center of the city. the monstrous shadow.

The huge shadow turned to this side, and at the top of the shadow, a pair of amber eyes were quietly watching Gawain through the clouds.

It wasn't a dark palace at all, nor was it a towering tower—that was Lady Ye.

He stands in his country like a mountain, and his figure covers the city like a dark cloud. He overlooks the earth from the clouds, and with the limit of mortal eyesight, he still cannot see his full posture.

Before today, Gao Wen had only seen such a mammoth and astonishing figure once—in Tarrond, the Dragon of Disorder, which was enough to cover the entire continent, was also as amazing... No, it was even more amazing than Lady Ye's posture It's even more astonishing, because it was transformed by the "gods" after all.

The shadow resident standing in the doorway bowed respectfully in the direction of Ms. Ye and saluted: "I salute you, Lord of the Night."

"Well," Ms. Ye's voice descended from the sky, "Go ahead, I want to talk to my guest."

"Yes." The tall and thin black figure immediately responded, and without saying hello to Gao Wen, he stepped back into the shadow of the house, and the black door with no visible material creaked shut. There was no more movement from inside.

In the next moment, Gao Wen felt that all the gazes from the street had dissipated, whether it was from behind the door or behind the window, all the sense of prying eyes disappeared completely in an instant, and he even felt that it had dissipated. It's not just the eyes - those shadow residents who were originally in the house seemed to "disappear" out of thin air after receiving Ms. Ye's order, and there was no more breath coming.

It feels as if the natives of the shadows have temporarily become "non-existent" to allow room for their hostesses to entertain.

There are many mysteries under the night, but Gao Wen's attention is no longer on these insignificant details. He raised his head and stared calmly at the towering silhouette standing in the center of the city. The clouds and mist surrounding the figure seemed to have lightened. One point, in the slightly clearer outline, Gao Wen had a vague sense of familiarity.

But before he could ask a question, Ms. Ye's voice reached his ears first: "They have just returned to me, and the effects of the long chaotic state have not completely subsided, and their words and deeds may still be a little weird. Please forgive me for causing trouble."

"They... you mean the shadow dwellers living in this city?" Gawain frowned. It seemed that his judgment just now was correct. The "shadow dwellers" in this city were indeed known to the world. Those "wanderers" are different, they are in a state of "after return", and then, he thought of the "knowledge" that emerged in his mind just now, which made his expression a little serious, " Some 'knowledge' about the shadow dwellers suddenly appeared in my mind just now, are these things instilled in me by you? Is this some kind of mental influence?"

"...I won't do such rude things, and it's not realistic to mentally interfere with a special 'mortal' like you," Ms. Ye said with a slight smile in her voice, "could it be Isn’t it? An outsider in the sky, my neighbor for many years—your memory is not so easy to manipulate, you know this better than me.”

Gao Wen's expression was calm, and he was not surprised by Ms. Ye's statement in his heart.

The world only knows that Ms. Ye is an ancient god who has survived for millions of years, but he also knows that the current "body" of this ancient god is actually a legacy of a voyager in the sky station. That anchor point generator is Ms. Ye's real "home", and on the other hand, he himself occupies an ancient monitoring satellite, and now he has become half of the administrator of Sky Station through authority replacement—— He and Ms. Ye are indeed neighbors.

They have lived side by side for hundreds of thousands of years.

This can be regarded as a wonderful karmic bond, but this "friendship" did not let him relax at all. The mysterious purpose and unpredictable temper of the ancient god in front of him kept him cautious: "In this case, how did you Instilled that knowledge in me?"

"That's not my indoctrination, but the trickle of the past tens of thousands of years - my neighbor, the sky on-orbit facility group is our common shelter, in the same data system, many things I know In fact, you can also know, and some of the things you witnessed can also be reflected on my side more or less. I didn’t instill anything in you, I just let you 'recall' some knowledge that you already knew That's all."

Gao Wen was finally stunned. This was an answer he hadn't expected. He blurted out in surprise: "You mean, some of my memories and yours are interlinked?!"

He still hasn't said half a word - why doesn't he know about it? !

"It's not yet at the level of 'intercommunication', but there is indeed a little intersection," Ms. Ye's voice descended from the sky, calm and a little lazy, "Part of the reason for inviting you here this time is also related to this matter. Relevant—of course more importantly, to discuss with you the future of this world, your own future, and by the way... hand over some 'inheritance' that should be handed over to all beings in this world."

Chapter 1556 The Phantom Across Time and Space

Listening to the voice that descended from the sky, with a sense of inexplicable majesty and laziness, Gawain was not affected by the aura of this ancient god in the slightest—he even had a relationship with the dragon god who was a suture of gods. Talking and laughing happily, compared with the chaotic dragon covering the sky and the sun, the oppression brought by the lady in front of him is really nothing.

Therefore, after Ms. Ye's voice fell, Gao Wen did not continue following the other party's words, but immediately asked, "Tell me first, where are Amber and Mordir?"

The voice in the sky seemed to think for a moment, and then it came again: "Don't worry about their situation-they are all safe and have their own things to do. Before they come back here, we can still Have a good talk."

Gao Wen felt a little more at ease. Although it seemed that Ms. Ye was not going to tell him where Amber and Mordir were and what they were doing for the time being, at least for now, they could be sure that they were both safe and sound, which made him feel a little nervous. The tense expression then relaxed: "Okay, I'm also curious about what the plans of an ancient god like you are. Since you also know my 'identity', we can open up our conversation... Which part do you want to start with? From the instructions left by the voyager? Or from the coming demon tide and divine disaster? Or..."

"Let's start with yourself. After working so hard, you should pay attention to yourself occasionally, old...my neighbor," Ms. Ye interrupted Gao Wen's words with a smile, "I have left some books here. What belongs to you, now seems to be the time to return it to its original owner."

"Things that belong to me?" Gao Wen frowned. Although he was curious about the meaning of "old..." that Ms. Ye almost said just now, he suddenly recalled the "" Data streaming", I vaguely guessed something in my heart, "Could it be from my side..."

"Memories, some memories that should belong to you, and a ray of consciousness, this ray of consciousness has been waiting to meet you for hundreds of years," Ms. Ye said slowly, "These things have been in the sky for the past few centuries. They should have been with you, but the pollution of the reverse tide caused several subsystems to go offline abnormally, and some data was mistakenly stripped and stuck in the Shadow Hall. Fortunately, the anchor point generator It has always maintained the most basic operation, and automatically recorded these data-after the decisive battle in Tarash, I solved the pollution problem, and have been waiting for the property to return to its original owner since then.”

Ms. Ye used a lot of "professional vocabulary" that only those who understand the legacy of the voyagers could understand. If an outsider was here, they might be confused, but Gao Wen immediately understood what the other party meant—he remembered Those blank snippets in the !

The real Gawain Cecil in history once climbed the Voyager Tower and made a deal with the "Gauvan" who was still trapped in a certain satellite at the time, and this deal most likely led to Gawain came to the earth 700 years later and "revealed the coffin" - there is no record of this incident in history, but in the past few years, Gawain has pieced together some truths through various fragmented clues, but he has always Failed to find the most critical link: his own memory.

He himself knew nothing about it!

Now he finally knew why - this part of memory was actually trapped in the sky station due to the interference of the reverse tide, and flowed into Ms. Ye's database by mistake!No wonder he couldn't find them anyway!

Gao Wen's eyes widened. This problem that had troubled him for many years suddenly dawned and he couldn't help being excited. He looked up at the pair of amber eyes in the sky: "This part of memory..."

His words came to an abrupt end, because at some point, that majestic figure standing in the center of the city had disappeared...not just that majestic figure, but even the surrounding towers and walls, houses and roads far and near , and disappeared completely at this moment, Gao Wen blinked in astonishment, and found himself standing in the middle of the darkness in a flash of divine effort.

"...I really thought about it all the time, and it happened so suddenly..." He couldn't help muttering, even though he knew that the situation in front of him might mean that Ms. Ye had started to "return things to their original owners", he still wanted to He wanted to complain a few words, but at the moment when his voice fell, there was a sudden change in the boundless darkness around him - a glimmer of light and some faint outlines began to emerge from the darkness.

The shadows gradually became clearer and finally visible to the naked eye. Gawain saw a hall, a hall filled with various equipment, which looked like a certain cabin in the Sky Station, and he saw this cabin again The edge was hidden in the dark depths, and only a gleam of light illuminated the center of the room—Gao Wen, who had been in contact with the knowledge of the Eternal Sleeper, quickly judged that this darkness and twilight represented different "impressions" in memory , In that light is a picture with clear memory, and in the darkness is a space that memory cannot describe.

A figure suddenly emerged from the edge of the darkness, walking slowly towards the place illuminated by the dim light.

Gao Wen subconsciously opened his eyes wide. He stared at the figure emerging from the darkness in astonishment, until the burly figure and familiar face of the other party were completely illuminated by the dim light. He saw a picture he had seen countless times. The face—that was what he looked like now.

Gao Wen had a feeling in his heart, he guessed who this figure was - he thought of the "a ray of consciousness" that Ms. Ye mentioned.

He looked at the phantom emerging from the darkness with a calm expression, and the other party was also looking at this side with a calm expression. After two seconds of silence, the phantom spoke first: "Hello, I am Gawain Cecil .”

"I'm Gao Wen," Gao Wen said slowly. For some reason, he was extraordinarily calm at this moment when he was supposed to be emotionally turbulent. This calmness seemed to have happened long ago, and he was already waiting in the dark. For many years, "It's not the first time we've met, is it?"

"I don't know how much time has passed, but this is indeed not the first time we met," Gawain Cecil said with a smile on his face. This human hero who left a glorious footprint in history but suddenly fell is like Talking with old friends generally said to Gao Wen, "When I first knew your existence, you were just a voice. At that time, I thought you were some kind of prophetic holy spirit. When I first talked with you face to face, you were a The machine, cold and powerful, communicated with me through steel, and now, I am glad that I see a man of flesh and blood... You have fulfilled your promise to me, stranger."

"But I can't remember the specific content of the agreement with you," Gao Wen frowned slightly. He felt strange. After many years of activities with this body, he had already gotten used to his identity. He felt particularly weird when talking to the "phantom" who looked exactly like him. He didn't know if this phantom-like "ray of consciousness" in front of him could also produce such complicated emotions, but he knew that the other party's time was precious, so he let this kind of The odd feeling went aside, "Parts of me are missing."

Speaking of this, he paused, and added: "But I think I should have fulfilled the agreement - if our agreement is that I will take over your body a few years after you die, walk out of the grave and continue to lead and To defend the people's words."

There was a slight smile on the face of "Gauwen Cecil" in front of him. The phantom nodded slightly, and then sat down directly on the ground: "This is indeed the content of the agreement, at least part of it."

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and sat on the floor opposite him. At the same time, he remembered what the other party said just now, and some yellowed fragments seemed to be vaguely emerging in his mind: "You just said that when you first knew of my existence, I was just a voice. ...was that after you got that piece of the space station? Um...I mean that 'exotic object' that was made into a shield."

"Yes, after I got it," Gawain Cecil nodded, "Through it, I established communication with a voice. At first, the voice was just some vague noises. I once thought I was being attacked by evil spirits. Haunting, but soon it became clear and seemed happy to talk to me... that voice was you. At first, you used your voice to tell me about the changes taking place in the land, but then our connection strengthened, and you even started Put some images into my mind, so that I can know things thousands of miles away, I call you a 'prophet', but you say you are just an ordinary person..."

Gawain recalled a corresponding description in history - after Gawain Cecil obtained the "Shield of the Guardian of the Kingdom", he seemed to gradually awaken some kind of special power, and he was able to understand the situation thousands of miles away like a prophet. The movement of the enemy's army, planning the battlefield and commanding thousands of troops as if overlooking the earth from a high altitude...

And at the moment these memories surfaced, some memory fragments that had long since dissipated in his mind also suddenly emerged!

He recalled that when he was drifting in space in a daze, a voice from the ground suddenly connected to the data link of the sky station, and he recalled establishing communication with this "human hero" who was looking up at the sky on the surface and discussing things on the earth , Discussing the stars in space, he recalled that he granted visitor permission to this "friend on the surface", allowing him to glimpse the wider side of this world...

He heard Gawain Cecil speak calmly in front of himself: "...in the knowledge you opened to me, I saw the truth of the world's destruction in reincarnation, as well as the dark clouds hanging over the realm of gods, the end is coming The pressure made me make the boldest decision in my life... I thought, if mere mortal power is not enough to save this world, then we need a stronger power, a more immortal, more intelligent, With the vision of overlooking the earth but caring about the fate of all life on the earth..."

Gao Wen raised his head and saw that the other party seemed to be slightly apologetic: "I found the most intelligent person to advise, and I went through all the ancient books. I will discuss with you and persuade you to accept this deal. I My elf friends found clues in ancient books. Under their guidance, I began to transform my body into a "container" that met the requirements, and used this to bypass the restriction in the Tongtian Tower. The barbarians who have dealt with monsters learned that there is another land in the southeast of the mainland, with a tower that can reach the end of the sky. I set off that summer and wandered on the sea for a long, long time...

"But anyway, after some twists and turns, I finally completed this daring, almost whimsical plan.

"I witnessed a magnificent scenery that humans have never imagined, and I also saw you, an... incredible ancient soul, you live in a huge machine, to be honest, I was shocked at the time."

The memories in Gao Wen's mind were finally put together completely.

He took a deep breath, looked at "Gauvin Cecil" in front of him, smiled and shook his head: "And all of this started when you put a handle on that piece of space debris."

"Yeah, it started when I put a handle on that thing," Gawain Cecil also said with a smile, "Charlie insisted on telling me that thing is the most suitable for my temperament..."

"His aesthetics has always been a bit serious." Gao Wen spread his hands, "The others are actually not much different."

"Yeah, not many people have read books," Gawain Cecil sighed, but then shook his head, "But judging from the results, fortunately we installed a handle on that thing at that time... "

Gao Wen didn't say a word for a while, he just quietly stared at the ancient phantom in front of him, even though he knew that the other party was just a lingering wisp of consciousness, he suddenly had many thoughts and wanted to communicate with the other party, but after a while After a long silence, the first thing he came out was a sigh: "Although the result is not bad, I still want to say... the idea that you hoped for a savior from the sky back then was not very reliable. , if it were me, I would be more used to solving problems down-to-earth by myself. You used your own soul as a bargaining chip for me to come down, but after I got down, I still walked to today step by step-I told you, I'm just a normal guy, and I don't have the talent to save the world with a wave of my hand."

"You told me these things back then," Gawain Cecil shook his head, "but I also told you that I'm just a warrior—by the way, I'm a little lucky. I can't think of any other way, I can't see through the changes in the world. You told me that the development of society has its own laws. Instead of expecting someone to save the world, it is better to believe in the power of all beings in the world. But I was shocked by the "observation records" you showed me. All I know is , the process of saving the world must be accelerated...

"My friend, maybe what you said is right, even without you, even if no miracle happens, as long as the earthly civilizations work hard from generation to generation, as long as the time is long enough, there will always be a certain season of civilization that will survive successfully After coming down, they will be more intelligent, more united, and luckier than the previous losers. Their future will be more brilliant, and heroes will emerge in large numbers, but I tell me from my heart, we can’t wait—I don’t care how much civilization can be in the next season. Brilliant, I don’t care whether they have four hands and four feet or four eyes with wings on their backs... Their brilliance is just a hypothesis, but we must live this season.”

Looking at the eloquent phantom in front of him, Gao Wen didn't speak for a while.

What should he evaluate?He knew that Gawain Cecil's decision back then was still not the most rational and wise decision. A spectator here could pick out countless faults behind his stupidity and give countless better suggestions, while a condescending Critics could even comment on the other party's life by saying "the limitations of the times", but Gao Wen couldn't say anything.

Not only because he himself is a part of this transaction, but also because the times are always pushed forward by those who are trapped in the "limitations of the times".

Chapter 1557 Saying goodbye to the past

After a long confrontation and silence, all of Gao Wen's thoughts finally turned into a long sigh.

"I want to say that you can actually have a better way, but the track of history never cares about any 'better way'," he nodded slightly, looking at the phantom in front of him, "Facts have also proved that you The decision has now brought about a relatively more hopeful situation. Although there may be some variables in the middle, I have now successfully reintegrated the loose Gondor remnants, and in the process I have found a way to fight against divine disasters and demon tides. The solution—we are preparing for the final challenge, and mortals are not guaranteed to win, but this time we are more prepared than we have been in every season of civilization in the past."

"This is already the best situation we have ever imagined," Gawain Cecil, who was sitting across from him, laughed. "Charlie should be relieved to know this."

Gao Wen was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "Charlie also knows about this?"

"Why don't you know? He is the king, and I guard the frontier for him - without the acquiescence and support of the king, how could a duke who protects the southern border suddenly lead a boat out to sea, and then die at sea without a word Adrift for half a year?" Gawain Cecil laughed, "And if my guess is correct, after my 'death', there should be a lot of legends and stories about me left in this world, true or false My life will be covered in thick fog by countless poems and contradictory historical data, and my journey will be completely hidden from history... All this is for many years Then let a mysterious ancient hero come back to life reasonably.

"Then, apart from the king, who else can arrange such a thing in such a wide range and in such a long time span?"

Gawain stared and did not speak for several seconds. After deciphering and exploring history for so many years, he thought that he had at least understood most of the ins and outs of Gawain Cecil's trip to sea. Apart from the blank part of the memory, there should be no other omissions, but I didn't expect that there were so many secrets behind this incident, and the memories involved in these secrets were obviously obtained by Gawain Cecil before his death. Erase from your own mind...

Two memories, one from Gawain Cecil, and the other from the wandering souls in the satellite, each has gaps, but complements each other, some were deleted by the person concerned, and some wandered in the data array due to system failure. It has been centuries, but now these lost fragments finally slowly floated up from the long river of time, and a complete picture was pieced together in front of Gao Wen. How long did it take to look up at the phantom in front of me: "Okay, Charlie knows about this, I should have thought of this... Then what else? What kind of 'surprise' did you leave me?"

"There is a letter," Gawain Cecil's lips seemed to curl up, "Charlie left for you now."

"A letter?!" Gao Wen's eyes widened in an instant. Today's accidents happened one after another, so that the indifferent attitude he had honed over the years was a little bit unstoppable now, "Charlie left me ?”

"Is it surprising? Since he knows the whole thing, of course he also knows of your existence. Although you can't meet, he also has something to communicate with you—and it's for you today, with me. A letter was the best way we could think of at that time," Gawain Cecil said calmly, and then he raised a hand, Gawain didn't see him make any movement to fetch something, the letter The letter appeared in his hands out of thin air, "I keep it deep in my soul. Originally, it should come directly to the earth with you as a part of memory, but an accident delayed this matter until today, but now I finally have the opportunity to hand it over to you." It's in your hands."

Gao Wen looked at the letter, hesitated for a moment before stretching out his hand to take it in his hand. Before opening the letter, he looked at the figure in front of him who had exactly the same appearance as himself, and the latter just smiled and gave him a slight nod. nod.

Gao Wen took a deep breath to let his heartbeat slowly calm down, and then he opened the letter that has been passed down from memory to this day, and the lines written several centuries ago came into his eyes——

"My friend, I hope this letter did not surprise you too much. In our limited knowledge, we really can't think of a better way to communicate with someone who may not come to us until decades or even hundreds of years after our death." The existence of the world establishes communication, the lifespan of human beings is too short, and the soul is fragile and difficult to preserve, and I don’t want to give my mind to necromancy or the ethereal blessings of the gods. After thinking about it, I can only write you a letter .

"You might think that this 'communication' is pointless, because by the time you get this letter, I might already be a part of the dirt, but for us short-lived, world-bound creatures, there's a lot to see. Actions that seem meaningless are worth doing, because even after death, we still have many things that we can't let go of.

"If you can read this letter, you must have fulfilled the agreement as Gao Wenqing said, and you must have descended to the earth and set about revitalizing this fragmented world, right?

"Is the food produced in the Holy Spirit Plain enough to eat? Shouldn't people freeze to death on the northwest border now? Anthony has always wanted to build a strong city in the eastern region. Has that city been built?

"I really want to see what the world looks like in your era. I don't have enough imagination, and I can't outline the future scenery, but I think it will at least be a better era than now, right?

"Our time...is not great. Don't get me wrong, I still love this land, everyone on it and everything we have built together, but even so, we live in a difficult world, There is always not enough food to eat, and the weather in the north is colder than we knew when we set off. The warm place is too close to the wasteland, and the safe place is frozen for thousands of miles. We have cultivated this strange and cold land Many years, but this land still sees us as strangers...

"But in your era, this should already be a memory of the past, right?

"Friend—I don't know if you will regard me as a friend, but I want to call you that. Gao Wenqing said that you will inherit his memory, inherit his body and name, and in the years of coming to the earth, you will be another One him. Although this may be just a temporary body for an existence like you, he told me that you are trustworthy and worthy of entrusting many things, and I have always trusted him, so now I I trust you too.

"I believe——if you are willing to abide by this agreement that spans time, and even pay attention to a group that may disappear in the blink of an eye in your eyes, then you will definitely be able to realize the things that Gao Wenqing and I imagined.

"So I entrust it all to you, a mess, a rotten world, a race with no future, a civilization shattered into pieces, whatever you want to call them - but please cherish them, because even No matter how bad it is, this is what we have all the way to this day, and it is our most precious treasure.

"A friend you've never met, C."

The letter is not long. This is not a letter conveying amazing secrets, nor is it a suicide note explaining important events of the family and country. As if deliberately wanting to leave a trace in Gawain's memory, Charlie left such a page of text, and after Gawain finished reading the letter, the text began to gradually disappear into the darkness.

After all, they are not real substances, but only projections reflected by memory.

Gawain raised his head, and he saw that the figure sitting in front of him suddenly began to fade and disappear.

After all, this is just a ray of consciousness that Ms. Ye has forcibly kept for centuries - not even soul fragments.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye," Gawain Cecil's phantom stood up with a relaxed expression on his face, "I stayed here to deliver this letter, and now I finally send this last It's done."

Gao Wen also stood up, he stared at the figure in front of him silently, and finally broke the silence with a deep voice after a while: "Do you know, in fact, Charlie and the 'Ansu Kingdom' you entrusted to me were established a few years ago. It has become history—the kingdom is dying, and I can only send it to the last mile with my own hands."
