Chapter 1132 Adventurers Heading to the North

"A sense of urgency..."

Bertila repeated Gawain's words softly, her eyes fell on the "mortal" who could even confront the gods without changing his face, and a thought suddenly popped up in her heart:

What else in the world can make such a person feel a sense of urgency?

That's probably only a risk from outside the known world...

"After that signal appeared, your nerves became a little tense," she couldn't help saying, "Although others may not be able to see it, but I noticed it—do you think that signal is a big threat? The sending of the signal Or...Although what you just said was optimistic, it seems that you have already determined that they are malicious."

"No, I'm not sure whether they are malicious or kind, but the very existence of this signal should make all of us tense up." Gawain glanced at Bertila, "If it really came from far away Another civilization in the depths of the star sea—then this civilization is completely unknown to us, and being completely unknown means that everything is possible. They may be more advanced and powerful than us, and may be extremely aggressive, or even The signals themselves could be some kind of trap...

"Of course, it could all be the other way around, but we can't count on 'just so'.

"And this unknown thing is even more dangerous in a sense than the 'divine disaster' we are facing, because at least we have begun to contact and decipher the mysteries of the gods, and we at least know where the boundaries of the gods are. , but for a strange civilization deep in the star sea, we can't even determine what their life form is."

Bertila listened quietly to Gawain's words, and suddenly said softly: "For countless years, mortals on this planet have been walking alone in the dark, without any other lights in the world, so most of us think that this We are alone in this vast and boundless wilderness. We compete and survive within the candlelight range of our civilization, and all the threats we have come into contact with come from this range, but now... a cluster of distant creatures suddenly appeared in our field of vision. light."

Gao Wen nodded lightly: "So I have a sense of urgency - the existence of the sea monster and the testimony of the Dragon Clan have proved that we are not the only candle in this universe, but we have never thought of another The light is so close, it’s even coming in our direction... Whether this strange light is benign or malicious, it means we don’t have much time to waste.”

"Although I don't know what your plan is, it seems that you have high hopes for the giant tree of Sorin," Bertila said in thought, she pondered, the breeze under the night sky blew through the crown of the tree, and set off some tiny waves on the edge of Ye Hai. After half a minute of thinking, she broke the silence, "Maybe there is a way...that allows me to break through my growth limit."

Gao Wen was also thinking about his own affairs. At this moment, he immediately woke up from his contemplation: "Do you have a solution?"

"At present, the growth limit of the giant tree of Sorin seems to be mainly limited by my control ability, and about the control ability..." Beltira paused for a while, with a hint of pride on his face, "Do you still remember how I controlled the tree at the same time?" Are there two incarnations?"

Gawain guessed the other party's thoughts in an instant, and couldn't help opening his eyes slightly: "You mean those servo brains?"

"All along, I just use the servo brain as an auxiliary organ to stabilize my personality tendency, and occasionally I use them to solve some research topics,

But I seldom use them directly to control giant trees—it’s not that there are any safety or technical problems in doing so, it’s just because my own control ability is enough, so I don’t need to do it,” Beltira nodded seriously "I've only recently started using servo brains to assist me in controlling additional 'avatars', and it's done to great effect, and your question just inspired me to go a step further... extra computing power Not only can you control additional avatars, but you can also control the growing giant tree. "

Gawain was already interested, he nodded: "Continue."

"I just conceived a plan, if an auxiliary brain is set up in the neural grid at intervals of a certain range during the growth of the giant tree of Sorin, and a series of auxiliary neural nodes and independent biomass are set up around these brains. The circulation pipeline may greatly increase the scale of the giant tree, and at the same time, it will not cause too much pressure on my own thinking circulation and biomass transportation," Bertila continued, "At the same time, these brains can be buried deep below, so that It can also prevent the enemy from locking my nerve nodes, greatly enhancing security..."

Gawain's eyes widened when he heard this. He conceived the amazing plan of Bertila in his mind, and the picture made up by his brain was already extremely shocking, and when he heard that the other party planned to bury those auxiliary brains deep underground After thinking about it, he immediately nodded in agreement—doing so is not safe, but mainly because it is more friendly to the mental health of ordinary people who are active on the surface...

Bertila saw Gawain's approving gaze, she stopped with a smile: "Do you have anything to add to my plan?"

"No one understands your body better than you, so you can control the technical aspects by yourself," Gao Wen nodded, "I just want to explain one thing - I don't want to let the giant tree of Sorin aimlessly to expand blindly, but to have a detailed 'growth plan'..."

While talking, he couldn't help reminding: "In addition, I must remind you that although this grand plan has a good starting point, you must not forget the lessons of the past when all things die. After all, your starting point was also Okay, but in the end you fell into the dark side of technology—so you must always pay attention to the risks in the growth process this time. Once you find that the giant tree may be out of control, you must stop immediately, and no matter what step your plan is, They must report their progress to me at any time, without going through other departments, and report directly to me.”

Seeing Gawain's extraordinarily serious expression, and hearing the solemnity in the other party's tone, Bertila also became awed. As a witness and participant of the divine disaster in the past, the story about the death of all things will gradually fall into darkness and madness in the past At this moment, all kinds of memories appeared in her mind—in all her minds, she lowered her head deeply, and said in a heavy tone, "Yes, I will never make the same mistake again, Brother Gao Wen."

...

On the far northern coast, the empire's largest outlet to the sea, the new city "Northern Port" has now become the busiest material distribution hub in the northern region.

This new city, built in the shortest period of time with almost half the power of the empire, now stands at the end of the north coast. Its rise has created countless records that are considered miraculous by the locals—no one has ever I have seen that a city can be built in such a short period of time. No one has ever seen a huge heat collection tower standing on the ground. The cobweb-like heating pipes keep the entire city warm. The new order of the empire and The city spread out from the center, spreading across the entire north like an irresistible giant wave - and no one has ever seen so many merchants, travelers, and adventurers gather in one day, swarming like bee swarms On this coastline once ruled by cold and barbarism.

All those voices who questioned the Beigang Construction Corps and the decision of the Wilder family have dissipated at some point. In front of the majestic port shield and municipal heat collection tower, all pale and weak doubts melted like spring snow, and Other voices expressing concern gradually faded after Beigang New City's rapid commercial rise.

The new order has brought a new prosperity that the northerners have never seen before. This kind of prosperity is jaw-dropping. The flowing gold pounds and Fenar are like honey to the tongues of all doubts, even the blind and short-sighted indigenous nobles. , Standing in the "Beigang Customs Hall" or "Beigang Railway Junction", you can't go against your heart and denounce it as a "vulgar product that disturbs the order".

Of course, there are also those with extra-hard heads—it’s just that they have integrated into the earth with their hard heads, and have become part of the cornerstone of the new city’s outward expansion.

A drizzle visited this port city. This is the second rain since the beginning of summer, but this is the extreme north after all. Even though it is already summer, the rain looks extraordinarily cold, as if the water droplets are still mixed with Finely crushed ice crystals. In the hazy rain, the towering city heating facilities and the magic obelisk inlaid with runes pointed to the sky, and the magic brilliance emitted by each formed circles of light curtains that spread outward in the foggy sky.

An iron-black mana train slowly decelerated in the drizzle, and the yellow holographic marking wall projected in front of the railway platform then turned into a green color representing permission to pass, and the entrance of the giant steel beast that relied on the repulsion device was marked by the holographic projection The platform, and decelerated smoothly at the edge of the platform. With the clicking sound of a series of mechanical devices switching polarity, the train finally stopped and opened the door with a burst of bells.

Passengers from afar came out of the train, and the already busy platform suddenly became more lively.

Among the passengers flocking to the platform, a figure in a short black robe squeezed out from the crowd, swearing all the way—Among the passengers dressed in various attires, this figure in a short robe was still particularly eye-catching. He had white beard and hair, He looks like an old man in his seventies or eighties, but he is full of energy. Not only can he squeeze his way out of the strong young people, but he can also jump around the edge of the crowd and shout that someone has stepped on his foot.

He is wearing a short mage robe that seems a little outdated in this "new era". This robe has obviously been with the owner for many years, and there are many signs of wear and tear on the surface, but it is still clean and tidy. A black sheepskin magic book, on the other side hangs a short staff and a magic ball in a bag, and a black soft hat is worn on the old mage's head. The soft hat looks very plain, but the rubies inlaid at the corners are enough Proof that this is a sublime and sublime treasure.

This overall attire is obviously very suitable for actions in the wilderness. Usually, mages who embark on adventure journeys will prefer this kind of "outfit" that does not affect their actions and can stably display their combat power.

But there are very few mages who embark on an adventurous journey at his age—even if an old man of this age is still a powerful spellcaster, he should cherish the rest of his life and stay in the mage tower obediently Study the classics that have been accumulated throughout your life.

"Young people these days really don't respect the elderly anymore," the old mage stood outside the crowd and yelled a few words, then shook his head and muttered towards the exit of the platform, and couldn't help raising his head while walking Come, look at the dazzling magic devices, advertising signs and guideposts on the platform, and another freight train that is slowly stopping on the platform on the other side, "But then again, these wonderful things of this year The thing is really interesting... A machine that runs automatically? It's really a good thing that only a smart person can toss..."

"Of course, this discerning old gentleman—" Just as the old mage finished speaking, a cheerful and energetic young male voice suddenly came from the side, "Welcome to Beigang, the most prosperous and advanced port on this land Xincheng, you have come to the right place, there are good things everywhere..."

The old mage turned his head and glanced at the side, and saw a meticulous young man in a dark blue coat with well-manicured hair standing beside him, with a pleasant and friendly smile on his face.

"Selling souvenirs? Or selling business travel hotels?" The old mage immediately raised his eyebrows, and choked him back before the other party finished speaking, "Don't treat me like a bumpkin who took the magic train for the first time—— I just often work in the field, but I have never been in the city, have you been in the rune forge in Shilin City? Have you been in the crystal casting plant in Pochkesberg?"

The young man was choked by a series of words from the old mage, his face turned red on the spot, and he said with embarrassment: "This... I didn't mean that, old sir, I just saw you standing on the platform to see if you need help ..."

"First of all, you don't need to add the word 'old' in front of 'Sir', I'm afraid I can outlive you in the future, and secondly, I don't need souvenirs or hotel recommendations, I'm here for business and I have my own arrangements ——But if it comes to help, I really need to ask you."

The young man seemed to be intimidated by the aura emanating from the old man, he quickly swallowed his saliva, and smiled with a trace of embarrassment: "You...just speak."

"There should be a 'Extreme North Exploration Group Report Office' in this city? Where are you going?"

"Extreme North Exploration Group?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "You mean the adventurer's guild going to Tarrond?"

"That's right, that's the thing, the Adventurer's Guild... I also think this name is more fluent," the old mage stroked his beard, "There seem to be two registration places in the north of the mainland, one is in Shenglong The Principality, one is in Beigang——Actually, I planned to go to the Principality of Shenglong at first, but that place is too far away, and the train does not pass, so I came here to see the situation."

"Yes, there is indeed a registration center here for adventurers to sign up for Tarrond," the young man couldn't help but look at the old man in front of him several times while talking, no matter what, he couldn't believe it The old man with white beard and hair in front of him actually equates with an "adventurer", "But you... are you planning to go to Tarrond too?"

"Nonsense!" The old man's eyes suddenly widened. "Could it be that I took the train all day just to visit the toilet of the North Pole Exploration Group?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean... Well, you go forward from here, turn west after leaving the exit, and you will see a road sign after two intersections, a very obvious sign with plug The double marks of Syl and Tarrond—Of course, if you don’t mind paying some money, you can also take a taxi or a magic cart directly.”

As the young man said, he blinked suddenly, in front of him was only the empty platform, with the cold wind blowing past him, how could there be any old mage here?

"See... I saw a ghost!"

The young man shrunk his neck subconsciously and muttered in a low voice, but suddenly felt something in his palm. He raised his hand and opened it, only to see a coin with a face value of 1 fenar lying quietly in the palm of your hand.
