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 knowledge of theology is 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 asking, "I mean..."

She refers to Amorne, the god of nature,

But here, she didn't say the name rashly.

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 giant Thorin 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 no different from 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 trembled. He really didn't expect that Elaine, who was running wildly and making troubles with Belsetia seven hundred 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.
