Chapter 1051 Cold Night

Listening to what Baldwin Franklin reported, Gawain's thoughts have gradually spread——

The intelligence from the Ogure Tribal State confirmed one of his previous guesses: the mysterious signals detected by Fort Winter and Fort Solin were not limited to Cecil!

On the other side, Baldwin's report had come to an end, and he looked at Gawain, "Your Majesty, in addition, we have also received a letter from the Dwarf Kingdom delivered by Wenna, the leader of the gray elves. Don Molten sends you greetings, and agrees to the meeting invitation at Silver Outpost No. 112 at the Recovery Festival next month, and Forge City will send ambassador Paladin Huishanyan to attend the meeting."

"...Have the dwarves finally made an official response?" Gawain heaved a sigh of relief, "It seems that the sea route we restarted has indeed encouraged their confidence in participating in mainland affairs..."

The kingdom of the dwarves is a mysterious country located in the westernmost part of the road. Although its land is closely connected with the Loren continent, the entire country is completely enclosed by a natural arc-shaped mountain range. It has always blocked the curious sights of the mainland countries, and also blocked the residents on the other side of the mountains.

For a long time, the dwarves have lived a self-sufficient life on the other side of the mountains. It is said that their kingdom has abundant output and a unique climate. Even if they do not communicate with other countries on the mainland, they can maintain prosperity. It is said that they Developed a completely different technology and culture from other countries in the continent, and even retained many ancient traditions before the first pioneering - but all these are just idle guesses of the world, and almost no one has really crossed the mountains to see Looking at the appearance of the dwarf kingdom, only some dwarves who voluntarily left the kingdom and came to the inland activities would occasionally mention their homeland to outsiders. In their descriptions, the forge city is magnificent, with iron stone hills full of gold and silver, and bright plains. Thousands of hectares of fertile land, picturesque scenery on the west coast...

After finishing the communication with the Duke of the Western Territory, the air near the desk was slightly rippling, and the figure of Amber emerged from it, with a look of interest on her face: "It is said that the mountains surrounding the dwarf kingdom are protected by ancient powers, outsiders As long as you enter the mountain, you will get lost, and finally return to the foot of the mountain in a daze, and only the dwarves have the secret to cross the ridge safely, so only the dwarves have always come to the inland activities, and few people can enter their kingdom..."

"But in fact, the dwarf kingdom is not as mysterious as the legends say—although it does have little communication with other parts of the mainland, but hundreds of years ago, when humans were still able to explore the ocean, Ansu still had a relationship with the dwarves. Time is exchanged over the sea," Gao Wen said with a smile, "There are indeed many wonderful customs there, and the dwarves also have unique smelting techniques, but they are far from the level of 'like a different world' described in the legend."

"You also said that it was hundreds of years ago," Amber spread her hands, "For short-lived human beings, the barrier of hundreds of years is enough to turn a land that once established diplomatic relations into an incomprehensible foreign land."

"...it makes sense,

Gao Wen thought for a while, and had to admit what Amber said, then suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked, "Is there any clue to what you were asked to investigate earlier?" "

"You mean about the 'Iron Man of Gondor'?" Amber immediately understood Gawain's meaning, she thought for a while, and the information collected in the recent period came to mind, "There are indeed some gains, but not What a breakthrough.

"First of all, it is about the identity of the 'Ms. Diana' in Typhon. It is currently confirmed that she is the leader of Typhon's special force 'Wanderer' - the rogue is an elite force directly loyal to the Typhon royal family. There are different subdivisions according to their functions. The positioning is similar to the Royal Shadow Guard in the Ansu era or the current Iron Rangers. They mainly perform special operations and internal and external intelligence tasks. The main combatants of the rogues are basically elites. They are combat mages who have undergone special combat training. Unlike ordinary mages, they have good performance in various actual combat conditions, including surprise attacks, assassinations, and close combat. This is somewhat similar to Gondor in historical records. The "Mage Soldiers" of the period, obviously, this special soldier is the result of the training of the Iron Man of Gondor himself.

"Secondly, we have also established that Diana has indeed long been loyal to the Augustus family, but she seems to be loyal only to the position of 'Emperor'. She does not side with any political forces, does not support any heirs who have not yet been crowned, and does not There's a faction involved. I suspect it has something to do with the pact she made with the royal family of the day after she was 'restored' by Typhon scholars hundreds of years ago.

"The above two can be regarded as information that can be summarized and collected from public channels, and the third is more interesting... It is an 'unexpected harvest' from the '25th'..."

While talking, Amber fumbled a few times from her bag, took out a piece of carefully folded paper, and unfolded it in front of Gao Wen.

It turned out to be information from Daniel? Gao Wen was a little surprised for a moment, he didn't expect that Daniel would get information related to that "Diana", and then his eyes were attracted by what Amber showed——

On the unfolded white paper, what is depicted is not some ancient Gondor's technical secrets or the contemporary Typhon's secret deployment, but a picture like a child's graffiti: a dozen ink dots seem to be arranged in an irregular manner. Spread on the paper, a small circle of unknown meaning was drawn in the middle of the ink dots, and one by one, like radial lines, connected between the dozen or so ink dots and the central circle, the whole picture looked... as if A graffiti-failed, out-of-scale sun surrounded by abstract rays.

"What is this?" Gao Wen was confused by the picture, "Is it some kind of abstract painting?"

"This is the 'work' of that 'Ms. Diana', and it is also the only 'painting' that she usually 'creates'," Amber put the unfolded paper on Gao Wen's desk, with a strange look on her face , "This sounds very strange. In fact, 'Number Twenty-Five' didn't understand either. He also learned about it from the president of the Typhon Royal Mages Association through a coincidence——

"The head maid in the Obsidian Palace, Ms. Diana who 'never makes a mistake and is always vigilant', occasionally makes strange moves when she is alone. She will find a pen and paper to scribble on. The content of the graffiti is always like this Drawings, one after another, over and over again... No one knows why she did it, not even she seems to understand it. Most of these graffiti will be destroyed in the first place, but a few seem to be It was forgotten by her, and fell into the hands of the curious few who were qualified to enter Obsidian Palace."

"This is really... something unexpected." Gao Wen frowned slightly, looking at the graffiti on the table, he couldn't see through the deep meaning of this painting, and only some paintings that seemed to be out of touch with the current world style emerged in his mind. Matching associations: the unconscious "creation" behavior after AI breaks through the limit, the mysterious graffiti of out-of-control robots, the information reappearance caused by the memory error of ancient machine servants...

"Is this the exact figure of those graffiti? Or is it a 'conceptual drawing' drawn out of impression?" Gao Wen raised his head and asked curiously.

"Number 25 said that this picture has a restoration rate of more than 90%," Amber nodded, "at most there is a slight error in the proportion of some lines."

"Have you shown this thing to Kamel and Veronica?" Gawain asked again, "They come from the age of Gondor, maybe there will be some clues."

"I've seen it, but they don't understand." Amber shook her head, "Kamel thinks that this thing may be an abstract expression of some ancient rune array, but Veronica suspects that this is the same as Diana's in Vip Langton Observatory service, but they are all just speculation."

"...Diana is an Iron Man of Gondor who has lost part of her memory, and those memories are related to her experience of leaving the Viplandon Observatory. These images may reveal some 'impressions' deep in her memory, but for the lack For observers of information, they are just meaningless graffiti," Gao Wen said while thinking, "...I am very interested in the secret of the Iron Man of Gondor, so I uploaded this picture to the neural network to keep it secret. Under the conditions, it is left to the analysis team under the separation of Megoll III and Selina Geer to identify and see if there is any similarity between any known objects and this graffiti."

Amber nodded: "Okay, I'll do it when I get back."

She put away the paper while agreeing, and then noticed that Gao Wen seemed to be thinking about other things, and he was still unconsciously turning a small silver-white ring in his hand. She quickly recognized the circle. What is the Ring: "Thinking about Tarrond again?"

"Still unable to contact the Mithril Treasury," Gao Wen nodded, threw the Mithril Ring in his hand on the table, and watched the small ring bounce on the table, making a crisp sound, "With those gangs With the technical level of the giant dragon, it is impossible to repair a communication system for such a long time. With the "credibility" of Mithril Treasury for thousands of years, it is impossible to remain silent after losing contact with customers for such a long time. Now that the Eternal Storm has disappeared, according to all the information we have, it seems that something happened to Tarrond... and it is not a small matter."

"Are you worried about those giant dragons?" Amber blinked her eyes, "Actually, I don't think there is anything to worry about... That's a dragon, a dragon that is invincible no matter in legend or in reality, and can rush into it when a volcano erupts. Drink something hot, do we need to worry about this kind of tyrannical and unreasonable creature?"

"It is precisely because they are such a powerful ethnic group that I am particularly worried now—I am worried that some kind of unforeseen disaster is brewing in the North Pole, and I am worried that it will affect the human world." Gawain shook his head, "Assuming a worst-case scenario, the whole Tarrond was shattered by some irresistible power—how powerful was that power?"

Amber was taken aback by Gao Wen's conjecture, her eyes widened: "This... shouldn't happen?"

"Suppose, just suppose," Gawain exhaled, "It's like there is a powerful giant standing in the distance, and you clearly know that giant is there, know how strong he is, and know that he was fine just a second ago Yes, but suddenly the giant is gone, and because you are too far away, you can't see how he disappeared, and you can't see if he is under attack... At this time, you may worry about the safety of the giant, but you You should be more worried about whether the power that caused the disappearance of the giant is spreading to you."

Amber thought for a while, then immediately rubbed her arms: "...Hey, I feel goosebumps!"

"In the final analysis, it's because the information is not clear, so I can think wildly," Gao Wen sighed, and admitted that he was thinking wildly, "so I hope those enthusiastic sea monsters and naga in Beigang can investigate some clues, at least first. Find out what happened to the Eternal Storm."

...

The cold wind howled and slapped on the twisted and deformed steel frame and the temporary shelter wall. The heat source device dug out of the ruins gave off a warm orange-red light in the dim sky, radiating a wide range of constant temperature heat. The poorly connected projection device was placed in the corner of the camp, and several energy packs were connected to the base of the device. The picture in the holographic projection was blurred to the point where it was almost impossible to recognize, but intermittent music could still be heard from the base.

Several weak young dragons were lying on the open space next to the projection device. The failure of the implants in the whole body and the withdrawal reaction of the synergist were tormenting their spirits. The intermittent music sound from the device was currently supporting their Will, but this insignificant support is almost meaningless, and they still have to rely on their own tenacious will to survive this cold dusk.

This is not easy-for most dragons who used to live in the lower layer of Tarrond, what they have to face after completely getting rid of hallucinogens and synergists is not just mental pain. The severe burning pain that comes from the situation is a real physical injury.

After returning to the camp, Melita, who regained her human form, stood beside a boulder next to the wind shelter wall. Her lavender eyes watched those compatriots twitching in the cold wind. Her eyes fell on one of the young red dragons. , did not look away for a long time.

That was the young mechanic who performed implant surgery on her at noon today—she had been busy all day long, and with her efforts, more than a dozen compatriots avoided fatal injuries caused by implant failure and The pain eased, but when dusk fell she suffered a severe booster withdrawal...no one in the camp could help her.

The only booster stockpile in the shelter has been used to rescue the wounded.

Seemingly noticing Melita's gaze, the red dragon lying on the ground turned around and showed a self-deprecating smile in convulsions: "I shouldn't be so obsessed with 'soul' and 'ash' at the time...but at that time The sense of accomplishment and fulfillment they bring to me is really important..."

She mentioned the names of two stimulants that acted directly on the mind, and these two stimulants were flooded in lower Tarrond.

Melita let out a sigh. She didn't know how to answer the mechanic who used to live in the lower layer of Tarrond and was engaged in illegal modification of implants. She could only release another large-scale explosion Psychic Soothe - This spell had little effect on the symptoms of booster addiction, but the young mechanic gave her a grateful smile nonetheless.

Afterwards, Melita left this place as if fleeing.
