The sun is high - #203 - Chapter 202 The Wonderful Journey of the Messenger in the Mirror

After having many experiences in the past, Xiuge has become accustomed to such strange dream scenes.

When he discovered that he was falling, he didn’t even feel the slightest panic. Instead, he had some expectations for the secrets he was about to glimpse – he was curious about how this strange mask, which was closely related to the Messenger in the Mirror and the Palace of the Dark Abyss, could tell the truth. What messages do you send yourself.

The cold seawater caused severe stimulation to Xiuge. In the violent current, he had no way to stabilize his body.

At this moment, there was a violent wind and rain sweeping across the sea, and there was a turbulent undercurrent below the sea. In this dim water, Xiuge felt that his body was being affected by something that looked like magic, but was more chaotic and disorderly. Power is wrapped tightly.

They were like nets and ropes, and Xiuge felt like he had become a fish bound by them…

The strange thing is that Shuge found that he did not seem to suffocate because of this – or that he did not need to breathe at all. Although he had almost no way to control his body, he would not die from this.

This is destined to be an extremely long storm.

And in this turbulent tide that Xiuge could not escape at all, he felt that he was constantly being bombarded by rounds of chaotic messages. Those constantly moving undercurrents seemed to be mixed with thoughts and consciousness from countless different individuals and ethnic groups. , every moment, it seemed as if several or even dozens of languages ​​and thoughts that Xiuge could not understand were poured into his brain.

This impact on the mental level is more torturous than the disruption and coercion caused by the undercurrent.

In this dream, Xiuge had no specific concept of time. He only knew that this impact lasted for a long time, but at a certain moment, it suddenly disappeared – the fierce waves threw Xiuge out of the water, and that The huge force sent his body and consciousness away from the cold and boundless water at the same time.

Xiuge’s “body” fell heavily on a beach. At the same time, he once again gained control over his body.

Xiuge felt extremely confused about this somewhat headless dream. He raised his hands and looked at his body.

So he was immediately surprised to find that he actually did not have a physical body at all. His limbs and body were basically composed of rich black fog, and on the surface of this layer of fog, a strange kind of light was constantly flashing. The shimmering light, and the regular patterns revealed from these shimmering lights, seem to faintly weave a “clothing” for this body.

“I am… the messenger in the mirror?”

Through the existing intelligence and information, Xiuge quickly came to this conclusion.

Just like the last time he played a rat warrior who believed in the Mother Goddess of the Earth in the dreamland of rats, this time, Xiuge quickly adapted to his “new identity” and was immersed in this strange body. .

He really wanted to see what information this dream would reveal to him, and what secrets his identity as the “Mirror Messenger” in this dream would hide.

“Xiuge” slowly climbed up from the beach. He first looked up at the sky. As he expected, there was a huge black celestial body suspended in the sky above his head.

The black sun and the passage between the “Dark Abyss Palace” and this world seemed so real. Xiuge felt that he could even see the constantly rotating patterns in this huge shadow, and the passage from another world. The dark images keep flowing over.

Under the illumination of this black sun, power is constantly recovering. Soon, the misty body of the “Mirror Messenger” becomes more solid and concrete, while the body that originally became thinner due to the impact of the ocean’s power The “clothing” gradually became clear again.

So Xiuge was surprised to find that the clothes worn by the messenger in the mirror were actually a very strange and simple robe.

I don’t know if this is the “uniform” in the Anbyss Palace.

Xiuge is confused, and the messenger in the mirror, which is the carrier of Xiuge’s consciousness, is also confused. It doesn’t seem to understand why it is here. Its memory is disordered, with no clear goal and no There was no task to be completed, so it stood stupidly on the beach, sometimes looking at the turbulent sea in the distance, sometimes looking up at the black sun in the sky.

Time passed little by little.

The messenger in the mirror finally took another action. It left the beach and began to walk aimlessly towards the depths of the land. This was destined to be an extremely long journey, but it was not suitable for Xiuge as a spectator. In other words, this journey was not boring, because he was able to take this opportunity to carefully observe this world belonging to a distant era.

In the era when the black sun ruled Van En, there was no “sunrise and moonset” as people recognize it today. Although the light and darkness of the sky would still change, it was always the terrifying black sun that ruled the sky. Therefore, Xiuge There is no way to judge the passage of time in this dream.

All he knew was that the confused messenger in the mirror had come a long, long way.

This human figure made of mist is like a curious traveler. It passed through the jungle, walked over plains and hills, experienced strong winds and heavy rain, and even visited a city left behind by a destroyed civilization. remains……

Perhaps because of the detour he took in the process, Xiuge smelled the sea breeze again, but now, the messenger in the mirror had arrived at a towering cliff, and in the distance ahead, there were vague buildings The shadow appeared, and some smoke drifting from it proved that it was not a ruin or ruins, but a large settlement of some intelligent group.

The messenger in the mirror was naturally attracted by the distant scene, so it spontaneously walked in that direction.

And not long after, Shuge saw an oncoming team through its “eyes”.

This is a large and very complex team.

The reason why it is complicated is that Xiuge saw many familiar races in it.

Elves with pointed ears and long hair, their skin is either as gray as rocks, or with tree-like textures, which indicates that they are most likely the ancestors of mountain elves or woodland elves.

Next were the goblins. At that time, their ears were not that big and their bodies were more powerful. Although their skin still had a strange color, they looked somewhat similar to the dwarves beside them.

In addition, Shuge also saw ogres, but at that time, their name should not be this… and these big guys looked very easy-going, they even let goblins or dwarves ride on their own on their shoulders and telling them certain jokes.

Of course, there are humans on the team too.

The humans of that era didn’t seem to be much different from today. They wore simple clothes, some of them also wore armor made of some unknown material, and held various kinds of weapons in their hands. arms……

The appearance of the Messenger in the Mirror was immediately noticed by the patrols in the team, so the vigilant Elf Patrollers immediately raised their weapons. They did not give the Messenger in the Mirror any chance to explain – these people seemed to believe that possessing Those who looked like this could only be enemies, so a dense barrage of bows and arrows came immediately. Xiuge saw that these bows and arrows were also mixed with some kind of strange color and luster, which seemed to be some kind of power that was very similar to magic.

However, this Mirror Messenger seems to be a special case. It was not injured in this level of attack. All the arrows penetrated directly through its body, and it did not make any move. Any counterattack was made, but he just stood there blankly, observing these creatures that were completely different from him and full of hostility.

The language they speak seems to be somewhat similar to the common language of Van En today, but it is basically impossible to understand it. However, judging from their expressions and actions, Xiuge thinks that what they say should be questioning or questioning. threaten.

However, the messenger in the mirror never responded.

As a result, this team became a little helpless. They stopped probing and attacking, and instead surrounded this strange “intruder”. Then someone left quickly, seemingly to find someone who could make corresponding decisions. People.

After a while, the gathered crowd gradually dispersed, leaving a passage, and a figure walked quickly along this passage.

Shuge looked over curiously, and then he was surprised to find that the person walking in this direction was a human woman.

The light and shadow like light blue gauze enveloped her figure and face, which was a phantom woven with magic power.

Although he was in a dream, Xiuge still felt a brief buzzing in his brain at this moment – he realized that the figure surrounded by people was the same as what he had seen in the dream of the rats before, and the ocean. The figures of the alien beasts fighting side by side seem to be the same.

Because now, Xiuge can completely feel the familiar aura emanating from the other party.

The messenger in the mirror also seemed to be aware of the special aura exuding from the human woman. It seemed to want to make some reaction, but before it had time to act, the human woman whose face was difficult to see suddenly raised her palm, extremely Complex magic lines appeared, and a magic cage made of cold water was formed in an instant, and in an instant, the body of the messenger in the mirror was firmly bound.

And the moment the magic cage took effect, the dream came to an abrupt end.

A slight muffled sound of magic came out in the darkness, and the dark mask covering Xiuge’s face showed some cracks, and then it collapsed into the original form of the dark abyss mist. Xiuge’s face reappeared, and he He opened his eyes, his face full of surprise and dissatisfaction.

“Tsk…”

He smacked his lips in annoyance.

This feeling is like reading a novel that was cut off at the most exciting part, or having an offensive advertisement forcibly inserted when watching a film or television work…

The information contained in this dream was too special and too important. Although it seemed a bit confusing, Shuge’s intuition told him that this dream was revealing to him an important moment in that distant era.

“It seems that this is not like the experience of an ordinary Mirror Messenger at all…According to the information obtained when obtaining the Mirror Messenger, they should be just ordinary servants in the Dark Abyss Palace. Both their strength and status are quite limited. So… Why did the famous messenger in the mirror come to land and start ‘traveling’ in such a confused way? What has it experienced?”

Xiuge breathed a sigh of relief in the darkness. He felt a rare tremor, and even some small pimples appeared on the surface of his skin.

Because when the human woman in the dream appeared, Shuge realized that this female figure covered with light blue magic gauze seemed to match another image in his memory.

That is the goddess of magic who exists as a universal belief and supreme god among today’s Van En.

“So…could this be a coincidence?”

Shuge pursed his lips: “Theseus and I have just had a discussion about the goddess of magic, and now I can actually see the memories related to her through the ability of the messenger in the mirror… In addition, Theseus The attitude towards this magic goddess seems a bit subtle… What is the connection between them?”

Xiuge’s thinking has always been active, so in an instant, countless conjectures ran through his mind, including some bold and outrageous ideas.

But conjectures are conjectures. Xiuge knew very well that he currently lacked key evidence to support him. No matter how rigorous his conjecture was, it would be difficult to produce effective guidance.

So Xiuge had no choice but to focus again on the Dark Abyss mask extended by the messenger in the mirror.

As Xiuge’s thoughts and magic power turned, the mask once again appeared in his palm. As Xiuge sent the mask to his face, it once again attracted it and interacted with Xiuge. Ge’s body merged into one.

The mist of the messenger in the mirror emerged from Xiuge’s body uncontrollably at this moment, and then, one face after another quickly flashed through Xiuge’s mind.

These faces seemed a bit unfamiliar, but when Xiuge carefully identified them, he felt a strong sense of familiarity. Then, he realized the origin of these faces – without exception, they all belonged to those who had Victims devoured by the descendants of the Dark Abyss.

And now, the faces of these dead people have been forcibly extracted from the essence of power and memory of the descendants of the Dark Abyss. Under the influence of this mask, they have formed one after another specific and vivid “templates”, just waiting to be repaired. Choose and use according to the format.

“This is really interesting…”
