Chapter 1233 Distant News
In the garden in the afternoon, Gawain sat on the bench enjoying the rare quietness of the past few days. Since winter approached, he hadn't enjoyed the afternoon sunshine for a long time.
The glorious giant sun hangs high in the sky, and the giant sun crown covered with faint wood grains reminds Gao Wen that this world is different all the time. He still vaguely remembers the great shock he felt when he first saw this huge sun. Even depressing, but unknowingly, this scene has been deeply imprinted in his heart, he is used to seeing this magnificent "sun", the light and heat it brings, and also the atmosphere of this world. everything.
I am also used to a lot of strange human or non-human creatures around me.
Till coiled herself up on the lawn not far away, enjoying the warmth of the sun, while her upper body straddled the path between the lawn and the benches, lying lazily on a large decorative stone next to Gawain On the road, with a lazy afternoon (in fact, she is very lazy at any time), talking about things that happened in the distance:
"Basically, this is the situation... Our queen has negotiated with the master of the water element, and now a new contract has been established. The master of the water element agrees that we will set up a long-term outpost in the boundless sea to monitor the deep blue webway. activities... If there is any abnormality over there, I will receive the news as soon as possible."
Things seemed to be progressing smoothly, which made Gawain heave a sigh of relief, but after listening to Tire's report on the "negotiation", he always felt a little strange in his heart, and at this time he couldn't help saying: "Your and local Isn't the relationship between the water elements very tense? Especially this time, the matter is still very sensitive, and you need to set up outposts and permanent personnel 'over there'... How did your queen succeed in negotiating?"
Tilton suddenly showed a proud look: "You don't understand this-although elemental creatures are vengeful and stubborn, they can also reason, and our queen is the best at reasoning with people. Sincerity and the art of negotiation... I heard that she specially prepared a souvenir as a gift for this purpose, but the Master of Water Element was overwhelmed by the charm of the queen's language, and said nothing, so the queen took the souvenir back Sent to Seafood City..."
Gao Wen was stunned for a while when he heard it, and instinctively felt that what the deep-sea salted fish said was not the same as what actually happened, especially the "local products" and "seafood city" mentioned in it were very suspicious. , but he has no interest in continuing to inquire, after all... this is a sea monster, and it has always been unimaginable to have anything to do with this group of deep-sea salted fish.
It's just that the topic is here, and he can't help being interested in those things that happened in ancient times: "I heard that there was a very intense and long-term conflict between you sea monsters and the local water elements of this planet. The reason is that your ship The spaceship broke through the 'dome' of the water element domain during the forced landing?"
"Who said it wasn't - I told you about this," Till sighed, with an expression of reminiscing about the past that he couldn't look back on,
"In fact, the reason why we broke out with the local water element of this planet is not only the problem of breaking through the dome, but also because we were not familiar with the environment when we first arrived on this planet, coupled with nervousness and panic, we forcibly repaired the spaceship. The process had a great impact on the local water elementals, and then they came to us to argue, and we couldn't accurately identify each other for a while as an elemental creature like ourselves, thinking that the opposite was some kind of monster. Can we not fight?"
As the sea caterpillar spoke, he covered his forehead and shook his head. Finally, all his emotions turned into a sigh: "Hey, our spaceship is still stuck on the boundary of the water element domain..."
Gao Wen imagined what kind of scene it was, and brought in the perspective of elemental masters to review this period of history, and immediately felt that the knot was serious, and the local water elementals were undoubtedly the real victims— ——I stayed at home and didn't provoke anyone. Suddenly, a group of extraterrestrial visitors smashed a hole in the roof of my house. I took someone to find an explanation, and I was beaten as a monster. To this day, when the master of water element looks up, he can still see that half of the car in the accident is still stuck on the roof of his house... He can bear it and signed a peace agreement with the sea monster, which can only show that it is true Can't beat...
But this kind of bad debt that has lasted for tens of thousands of years is not something that he can explain clearly as an outsider, not to mention that the relationship between the two groups of elemental creatures has eased a lot over the years, so he is not good at commenting on it, just He casually asked again: "Speaking of... you had such a big conflict back then, how did the local water elements finally want to reconcile with you?"
Hearing Gawain's question, Tyre couldn't help showing a look of reminiscence, and it took a long time before he said slowly: "We have been fighting for many years, maybe hundreds of thousands of years... maybe hundreds of thousands of years, the life of elemental creatures is long And the character is persistent, and the war in the elemental world was chaotic, so both of us regarded it as a daily activity until one day, the local water elementals seemed to want to break the long deadlock. An extremely large-scale operation was planned, trying to destroy the protection of the Antavien in one fell swoop..."
Gao Wen looked serious: "A large-scale operation?"
"For some reason, they reached an agreement with Wendy, the master of the wind element, and organized a wave of powerful combined legions to attack Antaveen. The power of storms and huge waves ravaged the entire ocean. The season of civilization thought that the end was coming," Tire recounted the ancient history in a long tone, "I also participated in that battle, and the storm really impressed me-the wind elemental army and the water elemental army even Crowded with all the trenches and submarine valleys..."
Gawain had already become absorbed in listening unknowingly—every time he heard such an ancient secret, he would have a feeling as if he was leaping through history: "What happened after that?"
Till raised her face, showing a smile in her memories, her tone was light and leisurely: "That was the first time I drank something spirited..."
Gao Wen: "...?"
Till nodded again, as if affirming something: "The top of Biga Bing."
Gao Wen: "...?"
He really felt that he was full, and he was still looking forward to what epic ancient records these sea monsters could bring him—well, that terrifying elemental war itself might indeed be quite epic, but he I will remember it from now on, no matter how epic things are, they must not be recorded from the perspective of sea monsters—this group of deep-sea salted fish are extremely good at drawing everything to the same level as them...
"Anyway, since then, the local water elements have suddenly restrained. They seem to have recognized the reality at once, or they may feel that this endless war is not beneficial to both parties. In short, they are finally willing to stop the war. , the master of the elements named Gululu took the initiative to reveal the intention of the negotiation..." Tire didn't know what Gawain was thinking, her memory had come to an end, "Of course we agreed immediately—after all, the sea monster I don’t like fighting at all, and this matter is our fault after all, but there is no way, after all, we don’t want our spaceship to fall..."
Gao Wen always felt that it was impossible for the ruler of the water element to have such a weird name as 'Gululu', but at this moment he had absolutely no energy to continue discussing with this deep-sea salted fish.
And at this time, a familiar breath suddenly came from nearby, interrupting his thoughts, and also interrupting the conversation between him and Tyre in an increasingly strange direction.
Gawain raised his head to look in the direction where the breath came from, and saw a dim and distorted shadow suddenly appearing in the air under the afternoon sun. The shadow opened like a curtain, and Amber's figure nimbly jumped from inside to the ground. And jumped in front of him in two or three steps.
"What's the situation?" He looked at the half-elf curiously, and noticed that the expression on the other's face was a bit serious, "It looks serious."
"There's news from Tarrond," Amber said, and Gawain woke up instantly from a slightly lazy state, "Two copies—one from the Grand Consul of Victoria, and one from Hera, the leader of the Dragon Clan." Gore."
Gawain immediately sat up straight on the bench, ignoring Tyre, who was already dozing beside him, and spoke quickly: "Let's talk about Victoria first."
"Yes," Amber nodded, "Victoria sent a letter from Maggie—she has arrived in the adventurer town of New Argondor and confirmed that the 'Adventurer Mordir' over there is indeed The ancestor of the Wilder family who disappeared six hundred years ago. She said that Mordir Wilder's current state is very strange, and it is very likely that he has encountered a relic of the gods, and he may even be chased by the power of the ancient gods now..."
"Ancient gods?" Gao Wen didn't expect this matter to jump directly into the realm of gods, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious. He looked into Amber's eyes, "Why did another ancient god appear? Which ancient god?"
Amber's expression suddenly became a little weird, as if this matter had special meaning to her, but after a brief tangle, she shook her head and temporarily put aside her distracting thoughts: "Goddess of Shadow, Ms. Ye—now The supernatural beings of the shadow system still believe that he is the ruler of the shadow power and the protector of the night, but according to Ms. Enya, this god has disappeared since the departure of the sailor back then..."
She seemed a little hesitant when she mentioned the name "Lady of the Night". Obviously, this guy who always called himself "The Chosen of the Night" was still somewhat serious when facing his "faith", and Gawain also knew that , with the establishment of the theocracy and the gradual unveiling of the mystery of the gods, this "Night God's Chosen" (self-proclaimed) sometimes gets entangled like this, but at the same time he knows better that Amber is not involved in this matter. No help is needed.
God has his destiny, and man has his own busyness.
After a moment of silence, he asked: "So, Mordir is being chased by the power of Lady Night - what is the specific situation?"
"Modir Wilde approached the realm of the suspected Shadow God Kingdom many times in the dream, and he came into contact with his 'another projection' in the dream. From the perspective of mysticism, this is being gradually pulled into the 'foreign land' The sign," Amber said immediately, "and after the last 'dream', Mordir even brought back something from 'over there', Victoria thinks this may show that Mordir has already had a relationship with Lady Night's kingdom of God Connected on a physical level..."
Amber told Gao Wen the information she had just received, and finally mentioned that Maggie had set off from Beigang and was on the way to the imperial capital with a "sample" at the moment. , that sample may be sent to Cecil Palace as soon as this evening.
"The Grand Consul of Victoria hopes that we can show that sample to Ms. Enya," Amber finally said, "The gods of the Dragon Clan are ancient gods of the same era as Ms. Ye, although Ms. Enya is no longer strictly speaking The original dragon gods, but she may still be able to recognize Lady Ye's power from those 'samples', and even find a way to temporarily cut off this connection."
"Of course." Gawain nodded immediately, "I will send that 'sample' to Enya without her telling me—after all, she is one of the senior advisors of the Theocratic Council. In addition What else? What did Heragor say?"
Amber recalled a bit, and her expression became more serious: "Hragor's side... the mention of the Tower Against the Tide may have changed, and this matter may also be related to Mordir Wilder."
Gao Wen stood up directly from the bench this time, his eyes widened: "The tower against the tide has changed?!"
"It's still not certain, at least from the recent monitoring records, it seems that there has been no change there, but the upper echelon of the Dragon Clan suspects that the change happened inside the Tower Against the Tide, and it has already happened," Amber nodded and said, "In short, They suspected that something happened to Mordir Wilde in the Tower Against the Tide back then, and the Dragon God at that time failed to discover it in time due to the influence of the Voyager's power, which eventually led to Mordir's current strange state... ..."
Amber uttered the information from Tarrond earnestly. Gawain listened to the words without saying a word, but he felt his head getting bigger and bigger. Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally glanced at Tyre, who was already slumped on the rock and started to sleep soundly, a feeling inevitably flooded his heart——
Just a moment ago, I was discussing some things that made the corners of my mouth twitch with this deep-sea salted fish. Why is the topic so serious the next moment?
"Looks like I have to talk to Enya about this matter." In the end he could only sigh and force himself to focus on the business, "Although I don't think she knows about this matter. Where can it be more than us... Facing the suppression of the power of the voyager's relic, a 'god' like her is being targeted too seriously."
...
Regarding the "sample" that Maggie brought from Tarrond, Gawain didn't wait too long—just as Amber judged, that special "sample" was delivered to Gawain's desk that night .
The bright magic spar lamp illuminated the study room covered with velvet carpets. A small Mithril box protected by layers of complex runes and with double mechanism locks was placed on the desk by Maggie. There was a continuous and slight clicking sound between the rune structure and the mechanical lock, and the contents of the container finally appeared in front of Gao Wen and Hu Po.
A layer of pitch-black flannelette was spread on the bottom of the box, and against the night-like background, a few grains of off-white sand were particularly eye-catching.
