#1034 New Starting Point

The icy starlight spanned endless distances and arrived here from the depths of the universe. The brilliance shone on the tattered shell of the Tallond, as if it had plated a layer of silver light on this ancient spaceship.

At the tail of the huge spacecraft, the severely damaged reactor compartment cracked a huge gap. The damage control system has been activated to cut off the corresponding energy path. Part of the extinguished core is exposed in space, and some of the escaped liquid is in space. It boiled and turned into steam, refracting the huge sunlight coming from the other side of the horizon, showing a rainbow-like color.

The faint brilliance in the engine flickered a few times, and finally went out completely - this ship built from 1.87 million years ago uses technology that is completely different from today's era. It not only has an anti-gravity mechanism, but also Relying on the working fluid engine to provide additional thrust during the lift-off phase is a skill learned from the starters, and now, the products created by these technologies are "die" one by one.

"Our main engine went out, the attitude control engine pack still had a little power, and I tried to slow the ship down and maintain a high orbit - although we'll still be drifting away shortly after, but until then, we can enjoy The scenery here," Balogel said, patting the control seat in front of him hard, "Oh, this thing is completely broken... I can't read the readings of the No. 3 reactor here, but I think its condition is not. Not much better."

"You also said that the main engine can last for thirty minutes under your command," Hragol glanced at the chief mechanic. "It's not yet twenty minutes."

"That's rhetoric, a little pep talk," Balogar said nonchalantly, "it's not easy to get the engine to hold on to the final climb in that situation -- not to mention that the big guy is already in the sea. over a million years."

"We all know that it hasn't aged at all in more than a million years," Heragor said casually, and then he noticed that Andar, who was beside him, hadn't spoken, as if he was thinking seriously about something, and couldn't help but be a little curious. , "Andal, what are you thinking?"

"Count your heartbeat," Andal said in a low voice, "I haven't noticed my heartbeat for many years... It has always been the blood pump and the circulatory machine that jointly maintain the operation of this body. I almost forgot that myself There was still a primitive heart in it...and it still beats to this day."

"I thought that your heart had already been removed," Heragor raised his eyebrows in surprise. "As a black dragon with a short lifespan, is your original heart still alive today?"

"I also feel incredible - very incredible," Andal said slowly after a moment of silence, then he suddenly frowned, "Did you smell anything?"

"Did you just find out? It came from the gas storage tank," Balogger stood up from his seat and floated slowly in the weightless hall, "Our filter system is down,

And some of the exhaust gas got into the life-sustaining pipes. Don't worry, these gases won't kill us for the time being - the dragon's vitality is still very strong. "

"Ah, it's really 'good news'," Andal shook his head. "Then how long can we survive?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on how many leaks there are in the shell of the spacecraft, and whether our reactor will explode in advance," Balogar shrugged, "The console is broken, and I have no way of grasping the situation of the spacecraft— - But from a more optimistic point of view, didn't we just survive for a few more minutes? This is the first time the dragons have stepped into the starry sky with their own power, and every second we stay here should be recorded in history. "

The hall was quiet for a while, and Heragor slowly floated to the polymer dome. He stared at the scene outside the spaceship. The vast starry sky attracted his attention-he suddenly had some regrets, those The stars seem so far away, and although he has left the earth and has come so far from his hometown, the distance between him and those stars does not seem to shrink at all... The Tallond is like a child folded out Like a paper boat, it is full of children's ambitious dreams and great voyage plans. However, in fact, it was just thrown into the small ditch at the door. It just floated out a few meters before it was already soaked with water and would sink at any time. .

But even so, this is the first step for a mortal to take - like a baby trying to walk for the first time, maybe only staggering a little, maybe it will fall in the next second, but in any case, he is here now , immersed in starlight.

There seems to be no regrets.

A ray of light suddenly appeared at the edge of the field of vision. Heragor raised his head in surprise. He looked at the corner of the dome and saw that the edge of the planet was slowly moving there-the spacecraft had lost power, and it was under the influence of inertia. It tumbled slowly, and during this tumbling process, it ushered in a magnificent sunrise.

The giant sun has risen, and behind the planet, an astonishing corona is slowly rising, and the star with magnificent wood grain squeezes into Heragor's field of vision little by little, which is more spectacular than what is seen on the surface. More shocking.

The entire control hall was immersed in brilliant sunlight, and even though the shading coating was still in effect, this magnificent light still stings the eyes of the three humanoid dragons. Andar and Balogor came to Hragol at the same time. They gathered in front of the polymer dome, staring at the unprecedented sunrise, and did not speak again for a long time.

Here, nothing cramped.

...

Loren continent, in the command post of Winter Wolf Castle.

"The ring of mithril doesn't respond? Can't get in touch with the Mithril treasure house?" Amber looked at Gawain in surprise, and after confirming the situation couldn't help muttering, "This shouldn't be... Mithril in such a short time. There have been two problems with the ring... those giant dragons are so skilled, they shouldn't even be able to repair a communication system..."

"For thousands of years, this situation has never happened in the Mithril Treasure House," Gawain's expression became more serious, "'Never make mistakes' is the label of those giant dragons..."

"Maybe it's just the fault that hasn't been fixed yet," Amber thought for a while, and said uncertainly. As one of the people who had visited Tallond with Gawain, she knew better than others about the real situation of the dragon kingdom. , in the eyes of the world, the Mithril treasury, which is full of mystery, does not have too much mystery in her eyes, "After all, all their things have a long history, and the development is very large, and the thing called 'Omega' will come out. Something's wrong..."

Gawain listened to Amber's optimistic judgment, but the expression on his face did not relax at all. He looked down at the quiet Mithril Ring in his hand, but he couldn't help but think of his last meeting with the Dragon God Enya.

Unable to contact the Mithril Treasure House, unable to contact Melita Purnia... If it was placed at other times, it might only make him wonder, it is not a big deal, but with the last Tallonde Brigade, with the God of War disaster that just broke out, Gawain couldn't help thinking about it. A faint uneasiness appeared in his heart, although this unease was baseless... but once it appeared, it lingered. .

These things happened so coincidentally, and the turmoil of the gods is an event that affects the whole world. It seems that Enya and the entire dragon family have always been paying attention to the changes in the gods in the human world. Now that the god of war has fallen, Tallond is almost at the same time. I lost contact with Loren Continent at all times... What happened in that distant dragon country?

While thinking, Gawain calmed his mind, focused his attention, and an invisible connection was established in his mind—a scene of overlooking the earth from space came into his mind, and the situation of Loren Continent and the surrounding waters came into his sight. , He cautiously moved the field of view from the synchronous satellite, trying to "see" as far as possible to the north of the Loren continent, hoping to observe something.

However, the angle of view of this faulty satellite is limited.

Gawain calmed down regretfully and prepared to withdraw from the satellite's field of vision, but before the conscious connection was interrupted, he suddenly noticed some vague flashes on the northern edge of the picture in his brain.

The flash appeared for a short time, and then several smaller flashes came from the same direction. At first, Gawain thought it was a lens flare caused by sunlight reflecting on the planetary clouds, but soon He realized that this thing was not a natural phenomenon - soon, the flash was over, and the surveillance image from the satellite calmed down. However, on the upper edge of the screen, there were some fine lines that seemed to be disturbed by energy. dissipate……

A few minutes later, Gawain withdrew from the satellite's monitoring angle.

He still couldn't see beyond his field of vision, but now he was almost certain—something must have happened in Tal Lund!

Amber had noticed that Gawain suddenly lost his mind, but she was not surprised by this. After realizing that the other party was "travelling in the sky" again, she consciously took up the role of escort, and she stayed by the side for a long time. Only then did she feel the changes in the other person's breathing and subtle movements, so she immediately leaned up and asked, "Hey, did you find something?"

There are many secrets in Gawain, and this occasional "wandering" is one of them. Amber is very curious about it, but she has never asked the reason - she only knows one thing, whenever the other party is distracted like this for a while, He seems to be able to get some "enlightenment" from some mysterious channel...and about the content of this enlightenment, he is occasionally happy to share it.

"There must be something wrong with Tallond, I have a... feeling," Gawain said vaguely, unable to explain his satellite perspective to others, "but it doesn't seem to affect us... "

As he spoke, he raised his head, and the scene of the busy frontline command post came into his field of vision.

The officers and civilians were dealing with information from the war zone. All communication systems and dispatch units were running at full power. The medical troops who had just been supported from the rear were assembled in the open space outside. Soldiers and the remains of the dead were passing through the broad road on both sides of the castle - Tal Lund was too far away, but the mess left by this divine disaster was close at hand.

There were footsteps approaching here, Gawain looked at the sound, and saw the blond Soldering coming this way, the high-level ranger gave him a salute, with a solemn look on his face: "Winterfort has just passed the news. New contact - the Typhons want to negotiate a formal armistice with us."

"We are finally going back to the negotiating table," Gawain sighed softly, "So, did the Typhons mention where and when they want to have this negotiation?"

"In terms of time, they only mentioned that they hope to be as soon as possible. As for the location..." Soldrin hesitated for a while before continuing, "They hope to be in the Fortress of the Treaty."

"Ah, the symbol of peace between the two countries... Although it's a bit ironic to mention this at this time," Gawain had a somewhat complicated expression on his face after hearing the name of the place, and then he smiled, "But if it is based on the current actual control of both sides From the perspective of the area, the Winter Wolf Castle is already in the hands of Cecil, and the contract fort that was originally located in the buffer zone between the Winter Wolf Castle and the Changfeng Fortress is now essentially an area under the complete control of Cecil... Don't you mind?"

Solderling nodded: "They don't mind, and they've made a point of emphasizing that - they're willing to negotiate in Cecil's area of ​​control to show their sincerity."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows and showed a smile: "Because they 'started the war' first... Well, although they don't mind this negotiation in Cecil's control area, we still have to be kind. Yes - it is a hegemonic act to bring envoys of neighboring countries into their own military-controlled areas for such 'peace negotiations', so that regardless of the final negotiation outcome, from a historical perspective, this agreement is fair and effective Sex is likely to be questioned by future generations. We need to choose a more suitable place - a neutral zone, or at least a place that does not involve territorial disputes between the two sides, which is more comprehensive. Do you two have any suggestions?"

Gawain's eyes fell on Amber and Soldrin - he didn't ask them on a whim, but because it was fitting: Soldrin was the commander of the Iron Rangers, and he was also a commander in the old Ansu and Tielin. Feng has been a high-level ranger who has been active for seven hundred years. He has witnessed the ups and downs of this land with his own eyes, and has personally experienced many changes in the two countries. Although he is an alien, he is more familiar with this land than Many human beings, and he himself is a thoughtful and experienced person, it is perfect to act as a consultant at this moment, as for Amber...

After all, he is the person in charge of the intelligence department, and he is reliable in business...probably.

The elves and the half-elves fell into thinking at the same time: the armistice agreement between the two human empires, this has to be said to be a big event, especially when the truth behind this "war" is a divine disaster, this matter is even more important. It has extraordinary symbolic meaning and historical value, so this matter must be taken seriously.

They began to quickly organize their memories, hoping to find a suitable place. In thinking, Amber first made a suggestion: "How about a new camp in the center of the battlefield? Signing a contract on the battlefield should be more important. ."

"I have considered this too, but in addition to the symbolic meaning, we also have to consider the actual situation - the defense line of Winterhold has been smashed, the entire area is still in danger, the magic power on the battlefield and the legacy of the god of war. It takes a long time to clear the wreckage, and the environment is not suitable for negotiation. And this time the main battlefield is closer to Typhon's side, which is also a problem."

"Then why don't we just leave the land?" Amber thought again, "Bitter Winter hasn't returned, we can be on board - Cecil and Typhon have no territorial issues on the ocean..."

Gawain was a little surprised by this half-elf's idea, but he shook his head after thinking for a while: "A warship is a territory floating on the ocean, and letting the Typhonians come to our warship to negotiate is essentially the same as that of Sisi. There is no difference in the area of ​​​​ur control - and the ship has many technical secrecy needs now, and it is temporarily not suitable for the Typhons to contact."

Amber's two suggestions here were rejected, and she began to think hard with a puffed face, but before she spoke again, Solderin seemed to have an idea.

"I have a suggestion," the high-level ranger looked at Gawain, "Do you remember? There is an elf outpost at the border of the wasteland..."
