Sword of Dawn

"Now I understand more and more the vigilance and vigilance that Gawain Cecil kept on the wasteland of Gondor after his resurrection," Rosetta said in a deep voice, "As long as that thing exists, there will be no real world in this world." Safety, the ridiculous thing is that until the eve of the establishment of the alliance, many people called Cecil's new outposts and fortresses at the southern foot of the Dark Mountains as "an old man who has left the era and is sensitive to the old threats"... "

"...I don't know how to evaluate the subtle tendency of human mentality, but I agree with your judgment about Gawain Cecil and the wasteland of Gondor," Diana thought for a while, and then asked, "Then what do you think? What do you think of Cecil's plan?"

"They proposed a long-term plan to counterattack the wasteland. They hope that the three empires of Cecil, Typhon, and Silver can call on the forces in their respective areas of influence, and at the same time advance from the north and south sides of the Gondor wasteland. The first goal is to establish a forward stronghold at the foot of the magnificent wall, and then set up a purification zone and more forward strongholds inside the barrier—just like the pioneers did 700 years ago," Rosetta recalled before Sisi The details in the subpoena sent by Er's side, "At the same time, he also hopes to establish some kind of communication and transportation that can directly cross the wasteland to replace the current unstable Sentinel data link and the 'Round Gondor Land Corridor'... ...This matter should have been supported by the Silver Empire, at least by default.

"In general, this is an ambitious plan. Although I don't want to admit it, I am afraid that only those who have experienced the second pioneering like Gao Wen dare to propose such a thing-it is difficult for those of us who live in a comfortable environment. This kind of determination.

"As for my attitude... I tend to support him, at least in the first phase - we need to rebuild those strongholds and open up camps on the Great Wall, no matter whether we will further counterattack to the hinterland of the wasteland in the future, at least we cannot let the current This state of ignorance of what's going on in the wasteland continues."

Diana looked at Rosetta's expression, and nodded slowly: "Sensible enough judgment, but also maintained enough caution."

"I'm curious about your opinion on this matter now," Rosetta said suddenly, "not as the so-called 'Maid Maid' or 'Wanderer Commander', but as you... the iron man of Gondor, you What do you think about this? After all, in a sense, there is your 'hometown', and there may be an entire Iron Army still operating deep in the wasteland."

"...I don't know what to think about it, it's not on my list of responsibilities," Diana seemed to think for a while, feeling a little confused by Rosetta's question, "I was indeed born in the Gondor Empire, But the creators who made my production facilities and adjusted my mind have all been wiped out in that magic tide, and I have no similar "nostalgia" for the polluting dust and toxic water bodies left after the magic tide Feelings. As for the 'Iron Man Corps' you mentioned just now... I do care a little bit, after all, I haven't seen my own kind for a long time-if they are still functioning normally, maybe I can learn from their mental core Update some useful data to improve your core operating status.

"Of course, if you are asking my opinion on the plan of 'Counterattacking the Wasteland', then I strongly support it-this is an extremely wise and positive plan, compared to sealing deadly threats in an energy barrier And pretending it doesn’t exist, and facing up to it and trying to fix it once and for all is what’s really meaningful.”

Rosetta stared at Diana for a while: "If—I mean, if, you re-establish contact with the Iron Man Legion deep in the wasteland, and they or the individuals behind them with command authority request you' Return to the team' What will you do? Does this order violate your oath of 'loyalty to the Augustus family'? When two orders conflict, how do you decide their priority?"

“…a long, long time ago, when your great-grandfather was very young, he would often try to send me down with logically conflicting questions to avoid midday classes or afternoon workouts,” Diana said Looking at Rosetta expressionlessly, "Are you trying something similar now?"

Rosetta was also expressionless: "I'm just curious."

"Iron Man is a mechanical soldier who obeys the logic system, but we are far more flexible and changeable than the so-called 'golems'," Diana said, "If the conflict you mentioned really occurs, I will explain my actual situation to my superiors." At the same time, I will explain to my superiors the reason why I left the Iron Man network 700 years ago. In any case, an Iron Man Corps that has been running to this day must not lack an old-fashioned observatory security officer, and you must still need me. Hundreds of years of experience—I would never get caught in the command conflict you assume and crash."

"Okay, so I said, it's just an 'if'," Rosetta spread her hands, and at the same time she was suddenly a little curious, "But you just mentioned that when my great-grandfather was young...he really used this kind of logic Questions to try to cause you to crash? I never knew that happened...how do you deal with it?"

"I restarted very fast, faster than he could escape the room," Diana said quietly, while looking behind Rosetta, in her pair of high-precision artificial crystal eyeballs, used to detect spirits The arcane rune is being refreshed rapidly, "In addition, I should remind you that your great-grandfather is listening."

Rosetta froze for a moment, turned her head slightly to look beside her, and saw the ancestors of Augustus, who had been cursed by the God's Eye 200 years ago, standing behind her expressionlessly, while her great-grandfather was standing behind her. The nearest position looked down at himself.

Rosetta was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and returned to the posture of sitting upright.

The curse that lasted for 200 years was lifted, but the sequelae... It seems that it will continue for a while.

……

Over the Holy Spirit Plain, an anti-gravity aircraft much larger than conventional dragoons was skimming over the cloud base in the sun, and several dragoon fighters serving as escort missions and two heavily armed dragonborn warriors formed a formation on both sides. Flying with the escort formation, the bright sunlight shone through the thin clouds at high altitude on the shell made of steel and crystal, giving off a dazzling silver light, and at the same time revealing the energy covering the aircraft and the dragonborn soldiers shield.

In the large aircraft in the center of the queue, the cockpit, which is much more spacious than the conventional dragoons, is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The cockpit in the second half is semicircular, and several seats are arranged on the edge of the curved bulkhead. It is a magic net terminal device—at this moment, the shading barrier outside the cockpit has been opened, blocking the too bright sky above, leaving only the most comfortable light in the cockpit, and the sky above the magic net terminal projects the scene of the Holy Spirit Plain: That is a real-time bird's-eye view from outside the cabin.

Silver Queen Belsetia sat on one of the seats, looking at the picture presented in the holographic projection with a curious and interesting expression, and at the same time looked at the internal structure of the aircraft and those invisible objects from time to time. The maid next to her, Elaine, seemed a little nervous about the famous magic device. She sometimes clung to the armrest of the seat, and sometimes frowned and listened carefully to the humming sound of the anti-gravity ring coming from under the floor.

"As early as in the royal court, I heard about these magical flying devices. My great astrologer was full of praise for your pioneering progress in the field of anti-gravity, and praised your optimization of runes and Efficiency-enhancing technology...To be honest, I once thought her reaction was a bit exaggerated, because the anti-gravity field has always been the home field of elves," Belsetia said to Gawain beside her, "but now I begin to believe her response to you Evaluated... I can sense the energy flow near the anti-gravity ring, your use of magic power is incredible, and it can be so stable..."

"Mathematics is the cornerstone of the world, and the biggest feature of the cornerstone is its stability," Gao Wen said, "But compared with the Temple of Stars in the Silver Empire, these small-scale anti-gravity devices should not be anything in your eyes. "

"It's different, Uncle Gawain," Belsetia smiled, "The Temple of the Stars is indeed a great legacy, but its biggest problem is that it's just a 'legacy'—it wasn't even us who created it The silver elves, but the older original elves. If we can build a second Temple of the Stars, it will be the pride of the Silver Empire."

The legacy of the original elves...

Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He sighed that the incredible miraculous creations like the Temple of the Stars have now become "orphan copies" - Rebecca coveted the "ancestral technology" of the elves for a long time, and she even had a building similar to the Temple of the Stars. The grand dream of a fortress in the air, in fact, is even Gawain's dream, but unfortunately... the current technical strength of Cecil is far from enough.

"How far are we from the giant tree of Thorin?" Belsetia asked suddenly.

"There is still about half an hour of the voyage," Gao Wen said. "You can use this time to sort out what you want to say to Beltira—you haven't seen each other for hundreds of years."

Belsetia hummed lightly, some memories of centuries ago appeared in her mind, and in the corner of her eyes, on the holographic projection in front of her, a very distant greenery suddenly appeared at the end of the horizon.

Chapter 1125 Visit Sorin

Belsetia stared at the patch of green on the horizon for a long time before finally realizing that it was a continuous canopy—or more strictly speaking, it was a branch at the edge of the canopy, pointing high to the sky. Overlooking the past, it becomes a border at the end of the horizon.

The silver queen opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

"That's the giant tree of Sorin, it's a branch of a branch spreading out from her southern trunk." Gawain noticed Belsetia's gaze, and pointed at the holographic projection with a smile, "Actually, we are still far away—— The monitor will magnify the distant picture, and the aircraft will further reduce the speed after approaching the Thorin area."

"Such a large scale!?" Belsetia couldn't help exclaiming, "Berteria... how much area does she cover?"

"The entire Sorin Fort, plus the former Sorin Territory—in fact, the scale was not so large at the beginning, but in the nearly half a year after being drilled out of the surface, the Sorin giant tree experienced a very rapid expansion stage, until The huge natural force reached a balance within it, and this expansion gradually stagnated. In fact, Beltira said that she can grow a little more, but she is worried that this will have an unpredictable impact on the ecological cycle of other areas of the Holy Spirit Plain. So it stopped there."

"...I once saw the description of the giant tree of Sorin in the report from the north, but now it seems that what can be described by written information is still too conservative compared with the real thing," Belsetia sucked lightly He sighed, shaking his head with some sighs, "I really can't imagine...how powerful a force of nature would be to produce such a miracle."

"The believers of the end of all things once copied a 'god', although it was not complete, but that thing was indeed made with genuine divine factors, and the giant tree of Thorin was drilled out of the 'hatchery' where they made gods , so you can think that this is a 'miracle of the gods'," Gao Wen said, "Although everything will fail at the end of the day, on the other hand, they did prove one thing with examples: the power of gods can be used Mortals can control it, as long as they find the right method.”

"Born from the hatchery of the gods..." Belsetia said softly. As the highest priestess in the name of the God of Nature, although she has deviated from the ancient beliefs, her theological knowledge reserves are still genuine. Wen's description quickly reminded her of some records in ancient classics, "So this tree symbolizes the giant tree of 'reincarnation' described in the holy scriptures? Is this the embodiment of mythology?"

Gao Wen thought for a while: "Some of our scholars also think so, but this matter lacks reliable theoretical support other than religious symbolic explanations, so it cannot be used as a conclusion."

"Then...how does 'he' think about this?" Belsetia couldn't help but asked, "I mean..."

She was referring to the God of Nature, Amorn, but here, she did not rashly say the name.

Gao Wen understood, and showed a slightly weird look: "He suggested that we believe in science, and don't mess around with religious symbols and mythological extensions..."

Belsetia: "..."

"Ahem," realizing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Gawain coughed dryly twice, and then changed the subject, "The Thorin giant tree is the last trace left on this land when everything dies, and all their technological achievements are now It has been accepted by Cecil and is being transformed into medical and biochemical products that are beneficial to the people, but another group of cultists hiding in the wasteland is a hidden danger."

"That's true." Belsetia's expression quickly adjusted, and her tone became serious, "After hearing your information, I have ordered the magisters of the Temple of the Stars to check the status of each node of the Great Wall again. The tower log, especially checked the monitoring records about the energy flow in the wasteland area. Although we did not find any tangible evidence of the activities of the cultists you mentioned, we did find some... suspicious traces that have not been found before .

"Specifically, we found that in a few log records, there was a small-scale energy enrichment and unnatural transfer within the wasteland, while in other logs, we found that some sentinel towers existed in seconds Unit comm resets and stutters. You know, we checked those parameters when we first learned that there were cultists operating in the wasteland, but at the time we just thought it was the cultists trying to steal The channels in the sentinel system, but now it seems... These clues may indicate that they have collected free magic power in the wasteland there since a long time ago, and have some kind of technology to transform and utilize chaotic magic energy.

"Unfortunately, all this information is very indirect. We still lack the means to directly monitor the interior of the wasteland. The main function of the sentinel tower is to maintain the operation of the barrier, and at the same time it cannot move itself. If it was in the past, we would have to worry about it." Only those mutants without sanity, the monitoring efficiency of the Sentinel Tower is more than enough, but now we have to deal with those cunning cultists, those towers are not enough."

Gawain nodded lightly, while scanning the surrounding cockpit: "In the past two years, we have also built a number of observation points and advance bases at the southern foot of the Dark Mountains to enhance the monitoring of the wasteland of Gondor, but The effect of this monitoring is very limited, and recently we are trying to find breakthroughs from the air, which may allow us to more clearly control the changes inside the Great Wall."

"In the air?" Belsetia frowned slightly, and then realized that the basis of this matter was the anti-gravity aircraft she was riding on, "You mean...using this magical device called 'Dragon Cavalry' Intrude into the magnificent wall and conduct a direct investigation of the wasteland of Gondor?"

"'Dragon Cavalry' is just one type of anti-gravity aircraft, and there are many, many types of it, such as the one we are riding on. Its official model name should be 'Cloud Base'-this is an aircraft dedicated to transporting Personnel carrier," Gao Wen first explained, and then nodded lightly, "We are indeed trying to create a more efficient and safer aircraft to perform direct reconnaissance missions on the wasteland, after all , the prerequisite for the success of any military operation is to have reliable detection methods, if we want to counterattack the wasteland, at least we must first see clearly where we are going to set foot."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Belsetia frowned, obviously not optimistic about the matter, "Aerial units are indeed the best means of detection, but the fragility of aircraft is its Achilles' heel, and in the wasteland Inside, the environment in the air has always been dangerous—the turbulent flow of magic power there is non-stop, and large-scale energy releases will appear near the clouds at any time. The magic power radiation from the Deep Blue Well has been reflected between the clouds and the ground many times, like dense blade rain The same threat to everything that lifts into the air. To resist that environment, conventional magic shields are ineffective, and heavy armor, although reliable... But it can't be hung on aircraft that need to fly flexibly."

"Indeed, the sky environment in the wasteland is completely different from the outside, where a strong enough protection is the prerequisite for survival," Gao Wen said, and suddenly asked, "I'm a little curious about this, the Temple of Stars Its protective power...can it fly safely over the wasteland of Gondor?"

Belsetia froze for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "I really haven't thought about this problem... Theoretically, I think it is possible. The Temple of Stars has a very high output and multi-layered magic protection The shield itself has a strong ancient alloy armor and an internal force field stabilization device. If it is only flying over the wasteland of Gondor, then it should be no problem. But this is just a theory-the Temple of Stars belongs to the Silver Empire. There is only one treasure of the town, it cannot be rebuilt or repaired, I don't think anyone will use it to perform reconnaissance missions in the wasteland..."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glanced at Gao Wen, and suddenly became a little wary: "Even if Uncle Gao Wen spoke up, it would definitely not work."

"Hey, of course I didn't mean that, I was just making a metaphor," Gawain quickly waved his hands and said, and then showed a thoughtful expression, "But that means that things like giant sky fortresses are very important to the wasteland. That special environment is useful..."

Belsetia didn't seem to hear Gawain's words, and her attention seemed to return to the aircraft itself based on magic technology. This aircraft was steadily approaching the giant tree of Thorin. The projection occupies a fairly large field of view—this flying journey brought the Silver Queen a very novel experience, which is similar to the "flying" she felt on the dominion seat of the Temple of Stars and the feeling of riding a giant eagle. Experience is something very different.

On the seat of dominion, she felt that she was connected with countless ancient machines, her senses were stripped, coded, transferred, and sent back, as if she herself had become a part of that ancient sky fortress, she could only Watching the cold data slide quickly through her mind, the machines whispered incomprehensible words to humans, but she hardly had the energy to feel the feeling of overlooking the earth.

Riding a giant eagle is another experience: the giant eagle communicates with its owner, and it is not as energy-intensive as the Temple of Stars. However, no matter how wide the eagle's back is, it is by no means a comfortable seat, no matter how sophisticated the saddle is. It is also a labor-intensive thing to ride the Giant Eagle. At the same time, the passengers themselves have to devote part of their minds to control the breeze shield to help them resist the high-altitude airflow and temperature changes, and the flying experience becomes worse.

The ride experience brought by this aircraft called "Cloud Base" is the most satisfying experience since her first contact with the sky.

Is this thing for sale?It must be for sale... If it is verified that it has enough practical value in the south of the mainland, maybe you can consider introducing a batch... It is better than the giant eagle with limited practicability or the "primary elf technology" that has been irreproducible.

While thinking, she noticed the tense look of the maid beside her, and couldn't help but ask, "Eileen, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm just... not used to it," Elaine smiled awkwardly. Although she tried her best to hide it, it seemed that her nervousness had attracted the Queen's attention. "After all, this is the first time I called The repulsor of the Cecilians."

"You didn't have this reaction when you were working in the Temple of Stars," Belsetia couldn't help saying, "Isn't that also an anti-gravity aircraft?"

"That's different," Elaine said immediately, "The Temple of the Stars is a flying city, as long as you don't stand on the edge of its deck, the feeling of working and living in the inner area is the same as standing on flat ground, but here... It's buzzing everywhere."

As soon as she finished speaking, she only heard a crashing sound from the bottom of the aircraft, and at the same time there was a strong vibration. The high-ranking elf maid suddenly jumped up with a face change—but was immediately stopped by the safety guard. Take the seat back: "Ah! We crashed?!"

The corner of Gawain's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that Elaine, who ran around with Belsetia and made troubles 700 years ago, was still slightly afraid of heights: "...We landed."

So how did such a guy who is afraid of heights fly all the way from the Silver Empire to the Northern Continent on a giant eagle with the entire elf mission?After knocking yourself out, tie it to the back of the giant eagle, and then be carried away by other giant eagle knights?

Elaine looked embarrassed, and turned her head to look at the Silver Queen, while Belsetia sighed helplessly. She looked at the holographic projection at the front of the cockpit, but found that the magic device had been shut down at some point, and that The shading barrier covering the cockpit is gradually dissipating, and the brilliant sky light shines in from the outside of the hatch, followed by the slight click of the mechanical lock opening from the edge of the hatch.

Gawain unbuckled his seat belt and got up from the seat: "Let's go, let's go say hello to Bertila."

Belsetia left the aircraft, but before stepping on the ground, the first thing she did was to look up subconsciously—but all she saw was the brilliant clear blue sky and sparse clouds, which were as expected. The canopy of the sun did not appear in the eyes.

"What are you looking for?"

Gawain's voice came from the side, and Belsetia subconsciously replied, "Where is the giant tree of Sorin?"

Gawain on the side laughed: "Low your head, you are on the treetop."

Belsetia was stunned, and then turned her attention to her feet. She saw a large-scale take-off and landing platform with light wood grains extending in her field of vision, and outside the platform was a wider green land—out of the corner of her eye just now. Out of the corner of her eye she saw this patch of green, completely unaware that these extremely flat greens were made of precisely grown, layered leaves, and farther away she saw the Antenna installations on the roof, power towers, research facilities and many things whose names you can't even guess.

There is also a group of anti-aircraft treant warriors patrolling the edge of the green land with magical heavy artillery.

The Silver Queen was stunned for a moment before taking a light breath: "...It's shocking, it's no less a miracle than the Temple of Stars."

"Thank you for your compliment," a voice came from not far away at this moment, with a hoarse texture like the friction of a wooden structure, "It took me a long time to make this place grow like this."

Belsetia immediately followed the sound, and in the next second, she saw the figure standing next to the aircraft—she had a feminine upper body, but a plant-like lower body with a strange structure, and a large number of blooming vines. It stretched behind her like a cloak, extending from her body to the layers of huge leaves in the distance, and those vines squirmed gently in the sun, making a rustling sound.

Belsetia stopped, staring at the vaguely familiar face and the weird, non-human body.

After all, all of this did not overlap with Beltera in her memory.

Chapter 1126 Listening

Bertira stood in front of Bersetia like this, in an appearance that the latter had never seen before—some yellowed fragments appeared in the mind of the Silver Queen, which was said to be a long lifespan for elves. In that distant memory, this druid saint of human origin always wore a priest's skirt robe, her smile was as bright and gentle as the sunshine in the afternoon of spring, her wounds in the expeditionary army Running between sufferings, countless people were brought to life because of her.

Her exploits were even recognized by the elven society - the orthodox origin of the Druid faith - and her icon was hung in the aisle of the saints in the court of the elves, next to the druid sages for thousands of years live here.

But these memories have turned yellow after all. Belsetia blinked, and the figure made of flesh and blood and mutated plants in front of her was showing a stiff smile to herself, and the entangled vines behind her were wriggling like blood vessels, as if A wooden friction-like voice came from within his body: "I haven't seen you in 700 years, don't you want to say hello? Belsetia—His Majesty the Queen?"

The Silver Queen completely woke up from her memories, her eyes fell on the other party, and she broke the silence with a little hesitation: "Bertila... Ms."

"You have become estranged from my address," Bertera said expressionlessly, "700 years ago, you called me sister Bertera."

Gao Wen on the side couldn't help frowning, and said with a little reminiscence: "How can I remember that it was Auntie?"

There was a summer afternoon wind blowing through the top of the Solin tree, and the rustling sound of blades rubbing against each other came from below. In the next two seconds, the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little weird.

"...Actually, I don't really care about this issue." Bertila finally broke the silence, her eyes quickly glanced from Gawain, and then fell on Belsetia, "I also like the title 'Ms. Satisfied—it appears composed."

"Ahem," Gawain also coughed twice to break the embarrassment. He saw that the greeters at the scene were still lining up behind Bertila, and the maid Elaine, who had just walked down the long ladder, didn't look very well, so he moved quickly. Topic, "Let's stop standing here stupidly—the Silver Queen's trip is for the purpose of inspecting the giant tree of Thorin. Let's go to the resting place first, and we can chat while walking along the way."

"Of course," a faint smile appeared on Bertila's face. She turned her body to the side, and the flower vines behind her stretched out like a guide. "I was preparing when I received the news. Your Majesty, you must Will be satisfied with the journey - no one in the world knows the 'tree' better than I do."

Belsetia had just stepped forward, and after hearing Bertila's words, she couldn't help saying: "Just call me by my name—just like before."

Bertila looked at Gawain and asked for his opinion. Gawain nodded upon seeing this: "That's it, everything is the same as before - there are no outsiders here, letting go of airs can make us more relaxed .”

Walking on the flat area at the top of the Sorin canopy is a familiar and unfamiliar experience to Belsetia——stepping on a solid and broad wooden platform like the earth, all the big and small in the field of vision Buildings or fixed facilities, if you don’t know the truth, it’s hard for visitors to realize that they are actually standing in the sky far away from the ground. This is similar to the feeling of standing on the Temple of Stars, but it is different from The difference is that here, she can feel the huge power of life rushing and flowing in the depths of the "earth" under her feet every second, and a "sound of life" that is completely different from the low roar of the machines fills the air. Surrounding the entire Thorin area, it also echoed in her keen perception.

For elves who are close to nature, this place is more like a holy land than the dying "ancestral heritage" in the extreme south of the mainland.

"...This is the hub of the magic web in the Sorin area, and it is also one of the two main hubs on the Holy Spirit Plain," the group stopped under a high tower in the center of the treetop platform. Beltira raised his head and looked up at the tower. The large-scale crystal arrays and mechanical devices, she said to the Silver Queen beside her, "These crystal arrays spread huge energy to the surrounding areas, and the corresponding areas have lower-level magic net hubs for reception and secondary distribution. The magic devices in the entire Solin area and a large part of the surrounding area obtain energy from this invisible network, and at the same time, magic network communication is also established among these high towers, and broadcast to all equipped with magic network Terminal cities and towns.

"At present, we have set up key nodes of the narrator's neural network in several major cities on the east side of the Gorgon River. Through these nodes, the magic network communication of the big cities can be incorporated into the neural network-of course, the current work It has only just been launched, and the coverage of neural networks is still very low, but with the current development momentum, it will only be a matter of time before the 'network enters the countryside'."

Belsetia raised her head and looked up at the huge array of crystals in a daze. Those artificial crystals with magnificent surfaces were shining brightly in the sunlight, and the low humming sound was constantly coming from the depths of their bases. Another kind of "miracle" completely different from the Temple of Stars, the endless possibilities behind it fascinated even the Silver Queen.

"I know about your neural network... I've seen it in the documents of the Theocratic Council," she said softly. "You are trying to use it to create a kind of 'shield' against the spiritual pollution of the gods, and hope that this shield can Covering the world..."

"It's not trying, we've already achieved practical results," Gao Wen reminded, "You've already witnessed its effects with your own eyes, don't you remember?"

Belsetia was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled the experience of facing the God of Nature in the courtyard of the Shadow Realm. She knew that the "anti-divine barrier" had been applied there, and her expression became more solemn: "I think Woke up……"

Gao Wen paid attention to the changes in the expression of the Silver Queen, and did not continue on this topic, while Bertila continued to drive the flower vines that made up his body, and walked towards the edge of the platform area.

"We will rest in a facility in the canopy—different from those buildings on the surface, every facility in the canopy of the Sorin giant tree is 'grown' under my personal control, and you can feel the most up close The characteristic 'giant tree style'." On the way, Bertila introduced with a hint of pride that he has been studying the results of civil engineering (which can also be classified into beauty and body shaping) these days, "You can also visit my biochemical experiment It is located on the lower floor of the rest area, and more than half of Cecil's cutting-edge bioengineering technologies were born or prototyped in that laboratory..."

Gawain frowned subconsciously as he listened: "Is your laboratory suitable for normal people like us to visit now?"

Bertila glanced at Gao Wen. Although she didn't say it clearly, her eyes seemed to be saying, "You, a wanderer who devours gods, are you pretending to be a normal human in front of me, a vegetable?" - Of course, this look is very likely to be Gawain's own imagination.

"Please rest assured that after receiving feedback from other researchers, I have carefully adjusted the structure and decoration style of the laboratory. All things that are not suitable for display have been packaged in friendly containers-although my way of thinking now It seems that the aesthetics and aesthetics have shifted a little due to the changes in life forms, but I know this very well, so I can still listen to other people’s suggestions.”

"It's not suitable for display?" The Silver Queen showed some confusion on her face. She looked at Bertila and then at Gawain, "Are you referring to the secret technology in the laboratory? If it is that kind of thing, it can be ignored let me……"

"No, even though it's cutting-edge technology, ordinary visits won't lead to leaks," Gao Wen shook his head, "And in the long run, I even intend to treat that thing as a foreign trade commodity - what Bertila said' It's not appropriate to show 'it has nothing to do with technical secrets, the main reason is...the image of that thing is not very flattering."

The flower vines behind Bertila rolled over. She seemed to disagree with Gao Wen's evaluation, while the Silver Queen became more and more curious about the legendary biochemical laboratory, but before she asked another question, a burst of time was suddenly not far away. The start-up sound of the mechanical device from somewhere attracted her attention. She followed the sound and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a huge device about a hundred meters away from the crystal array that was slowly adjusting its angle. It has a metal bracket with a complex structure, and a large number of hexagonal crystal slices with gaps are inlaid between those skeletons. Countless shining runes slowly walk on the crystal slices, forming illusory magic lenses one by one. , seems to be constantly fine-tuning the focusing direction of those crystals.

"What is that?" Belsetia asked curiously—she had never seen this thing in the information, and it was quite different from any magic device she had seen along the way. It seems to be a high-tech device, but the magic fluctuations it releases are not like any kind of spell model, and even she, the well-informed Silver Queen, is puzzled.

"That's the wide-area listening antenna," Bertila explained. "Every master hub has one. It's essentially a high-sensitivity receiver—we're using it to search for a mysterious signal."

"A mysterious signal?" Belsetia became even more curious, "What mysterious signal?"

Gao Wen thought for a while and nodded: "Well, this is not a secret, and we are building a series of monitoring facilities with neighboring countries recently, if you are also interested in this, we can go to the rest area on the lower floor and talk about it in detail this matter."

……

"The No. 3 buff rune group has entered the working mode, and the No. [-] rune group has been transferred to the cooling process. After [-] minutes, the main antenna will rotate. Each listener pays attention to the channel he is responsible for..."

The clear and powerful voice of the operator sounded not far away, and Bud, who had just sat down and was still a little distracted, quickly lifted his spirits. He looked around the situation in the room and saw several listening seats. The person in charge of the equipment is already in place, and the magicians who are in charge of assisting the listeners are confirming the condition of the equipment for the last time.

The fluctuations in each monitoring channel are projected over the large magic net terminal in the center of the room, and now the curves in each screen present meaningless clutter patterns, while the sky over several second-level magic net terminals around the room is only Blank screen.
