Above the base of the Sentinel Tower, floating in the air by anti-gravity technology is the most important "functional facility" of this tower, a shield projection device called the "Stone Monument".

The energy barrier of the magnificent wall is maintained by the "Stone Monument", but the function of the stone Monument is not limited to the creation of a layer of shield. As a magic facility with huge power, the stone Monument has a very complex structure and function. While creating the shield, it also assumes the role of an upper sensor, monitoring the barrier at a height of 1,000 meters in real time, monitoring the energy tides within the wasteland range, and reporting its own status to the magic mind in the base at any time.

The sensor array in the stone tablet may be the last unit that may fail and can bypass the demonic mind.

"There is a lifting platform on the top floor of this room that can go to the stone tablet," Banner opened a new operating interface on the alloy pillar next to the magic spirit mind, and said quickly while checking the system, "Let me see... Thanks to the forest spirit, the lifting platform is in good condition."

Gao Wen nodded: "Let's go to the stone tablet to take a look."

No one objected, and Gao Wen immediately arranged for Saldrin and the Rangers to continue to watch out for the situation in the pedestal. He and Banner and others came to the upper floor of the room where the Demon Spirit Mind was located, a circular lifting platform was quietly parked in the groove at the top of the room.

This lifting platform has been anchored here for seven centuries, but the protection system of Sentinel Tower still keeps it in good condition. After Banner injected magic and control instructions into it, light blue magic patterns and faint elf runes immediately appeared on the ground of the circular platform. Gao Wen felt a slight shock under his feet, and the entire platform began to rise slowly.

The magic cloud top emitting misty light gradually approached in his vision, and an energy shield protecting the passengers automatically rose around the lifting platform. However, Gao Wen did not care about the magic clouds above his head and the shields around him. Almost all his attention was on the magic patterns that appeared on the surface of the lifting platform.

This is the anti-gravity technology of the elves... far more advanced than humans.

It only needs a small amount of magic to carry a considerable load rise, and it is incredible to float smoothly, its rune structure has obviously been well optimized, so that Banner has almost no additional manipulation to it...

Humans also have floating magic and floating devices made based on gravity-based spells. In the towers of the great magicians, they often use similar floating platforms to transport personnel or goods. However, Gao Wen knows that the fatal defects of those floating devices consume a lot of energy, so they can only be used in the mage tower. It is difficult to control, so that the tower spirit of the mage tower is needed to assist in the control to prevent falling. It is expensive and complex, so that only mid-level to high-level extraordinary people can bear the cost...

Researchers at the Rune Research Institute have been trying to crack and optimize human gravity-based spells, but they encountered a problem similar to the original messaging technique: the technical black box.

Gravity spells were not created by humans. Their origins are a mystery. There are also a large number of unsolvable structures in the spell model. Jenny and her technical team have worked hard so far, but they have not been able to optimize the large-scale anti-gravity magic array to a practical level. So far, the only achievements in gravity spells by Rune Research Institute are only "weight reduction" and "floating tricks". The former has been used in the fields of construction and material transportation, while the latter... Due to the extremely small load and the problem of parallel interference between multiple magic arrays, it has been unable to be used so far.

The technical black box of the former messenger technology was cracked after the introduction of the Eternal Sleeper technology. So will the technical black box of the gravity-based spell... find a breakthrough in the elves' knowledge system?

The floating platform continued to rise, and it drilled into the thick magic cloud top. The misty light fog filled everyone's sight. The arc generated by the friction between the magic power and the platform shield crackled around. Amber seemed to be frightened by this seemingly dangerous "passing". The goose subconsciously shrank its neck, while Gao Wen was still thinking about the application of anti-gravity technology.

Breaking free from gravity and soaring in the sky is something that almost any intelligent creature will yearn for. Its significance in the military and civilian fields is not to mention. More importantly, the technology of breaking free from gravity is also something that Gao Wen has always been thinking about. In his lifetime, in imaginable fields, this seems to be the only way for him to touch the satellites in space and his own "originality".

On this road, griffin cannot do, giant eagle cannot do, and mage's personal flying skills cannot do.

As long as conditions are ripe, aircraft must be built.

The floating platform passed through the magic cloud top that was more than ten meters thick. The crackling arcs and mist of light gradually sank to the feet. Outside the platform, there was an amazing broad vision.

The magnificent wall of amazing scale stretched out in front of you like an aurora falling into the earth, outlining the border of the ancient Gondor Empire. In the north, the end of the sight is the undulating outline of the dark mountains. In the south, the purple-black corrupt land is endless, with rugged and hideous rocks and withered plants distributed on the plains. Some twisted and invisible remains appearing in the distance of view, looking desolate and vast.

Amber stared blankly at the scene on the other side of the barrier, and after a long time of exclamation, "Wow..."

"That's Gondor, the most powerful empire in human history. From there, the ancestors of Ansu seven hundred years ago," memory from Gowan Cecil came to his heart. Gowan looked at the wasteland in the south and broke the silence. "Did you see that slightly red band-shaped area? It's that road, one-fifth of the people we died on that road. And the crooked ruins in the distance, which seemed to melt. It was the last border city of Thranduran that was still organizing resistance troops. Charlie tried to persuade the lord of Thranduran to immediately lead the people to escape, but the stubborn old earl insisted on living and dying with the city. He finally detonated Thranduran's magic pipeline, and the crooked things were the remnants of the magic pipeline."

Everyone listened to Gao Wen's story quietly, and even Amber couldn't help but calm down. In this brief silence, the entire lifting platform entered a shadow.

It reached the lower mooring area of ​​the stone tablet.

After a brief adaptation, the group of people adapted to the dim magic light inside the stele. Amber blinked and looked around. Then she was surprised to find that the space inside the huge stele was not large. There was only a circular hall within the sight. The hall had a high roof, but the highest was only a few dozen meters. Apart from the hall, she did not see any other exit.

Neat silver-white metal pillars stand in the hall, and those metal pillars may be the monitoring and control devices of the stone tablets.

"Most of the entire stele is blocked and wrapped with very thick artificial rock and more than a dozen layers of magic materials," Banner explained. "This is because the stele is filled with very powerful energy. This energy is extremely dangerous. It also has to keep its own energy environment closed to prevent the shield from being balanced, so we must seal it. The walls of this hall are ten meters thick, and rely on a huge magic array set on the roof to establish connections with the stele. Through this magic array, we can understand the working conditions of the stele everywhere."

As Banner said, he came to the silver-white metal pillars. He activated one of them. A complex and mysterious elf runes appeared on the surface of the metal pillars. With a slight buzzing sound, a large number of illusion projections showing data appeared in the air around the pillars.

Gao Wen and Sonia were quite nervous about Banner's work. They hoped that Banner could find some abnormalities, but at the same time they were worried that they would really discover the major fault of the Sentinel Tower. The stone tablet is the most important structure of the Sentinel Tower. Almost all the faults that occurred here are fatal. If the problem really lies here...

I'm afraid the entire barrier repair and reinforcement plan will become a joke.

Amber also paid attention to Banner's operations for a while, but she really knew nothing about the elves runes and did not understand the work of the Sentinel Tower. After a while, she lost interest in what was happening in front of her and began to look around.

She cared about the "visual" that happened one after another today.

She is a careless girl with a carefree personality, but this does not mean that she is lacking in heart (although many people think so). She will not simply classify what she saw before as "dazzled", but she is very clear about the things she may only see.

That is a projection from the Shadow Realm, or... a phenomenon that arises after the Shadow Realm partially invades the real world.

There are shadow cracks here? Why do shadow cracks appear out of thin air in nature?

Amber frowned, and she tried to relax her mind, allowing her innate, unexplained shadow talent to gradually dominate her five senses. She breathed gently, her eyes swept across the hall.

She began to try to see the place from the perspective of a shadow creature.

The figures I saw below before were mostly shadow residents. Shadow residents had no communication with the creatures in the material world, and even seemed to have a certain degree of malice, but they were relatively... close to her. Amber didn't know whether the Shadow residents' attitude towards them was close to her, but she did have experience dealing with each other.

Those weird, seemingly illogical residents are actually intelligent creatures. They will not indicate this direction to themselves for no reason unless there is something here that disrupts the order of the material world and the shadow world.

"The device here also shows that everything is normal," Not far away, Banner's slightly confused voice sounded. The elf magician repeatedly checked several key sensors of the stone tablet, his tone was full of confusion, "Strange... It's just unreasonable..."

Sonia also came to Banner: "It seems that the sensor is in good condition. What is the connection here with the magic mind?"

"The connection is smooth, wait, too smooth..."

Banner and Sonia's voices became ethereal and blurred in Amber's ears.

Her hair had become very long without realizing it, floating in the air as if she had lost her gravity. Her eyes turned into a strange light golden color, reflecting the black and white scenery of the Shadow Realm. A squirming smoke gathered at her feet, building a passage to the Shadow Realm.

She entered the Shadow Realm.

Some empty and weird figures were covered with runes, and the empty figures appeared around her. The empty figures whispered: "You are in trouble... They have caused damage for a long time... But it seems that you can delay a little bit. That has nothing to do with us... but, I need to remind you that you belong to this place after all... Look up and look above."

Amber looked up and looked at the roof of the hall.

The huge hatch vines and roots entrenched on all the silver-white metal columns, spreading across the walls of the hall, and drilled outside the stone tablet along the cracks in the mooring area of ​​the lifting platform.

They seem to connect to the base below, to the earth below the base, to the wasteland, to something more profane deep in the wasteland.
