Chapter 1259 Reaction

The unique blue energy response, the location and timing of its appearance, and more importantly, the response of the two whelping dragons—all these pieces of information together made Gawain realize in an instant what the Sentinel Captain had discovered: Deep Blue Magic mark.

"Where did you find this thing?" Melita also reacted instantly, staring straight at the tall sentinel captain, "How many more are there?"

"This kind of traces were found in the south of the outpost and in a section of hills extending towards the eastern inland area. There are not many of them, but they are concentrated in a roughly belt-shaped area," the captain of the sentinel immediately replied, "The affected It's basically that kind of stone, but we've found similar impressions on some of the metal wreckage. It's hard to say further out—that's beyond our current control."

Noretta stood aside, hearing this with a serious face, and finally couldn't help but look at Melita and said, "What do you think? These traces..."

Melita didn't speak, but set his eyes on Gao Wen. The latter was thinking about something with his brows furrowed. After noticing Melita's gaze, he slowly broke the silence: "These traces should be the changes in the dark blue webway. The 'evidence' left behind may also be the reason why the young dragons resonated and moved towards the west coast, but now we have no evidence to connect the dark blue magic scar with the tower against the tide... I I can’t even think of a connection between the two.”

Melita subconsciously looked at the tall tower standing on the sea under the dark night: "So, we are going to go to that tower next, right?"

"It's not 'us'—you and Noretta will stay on the Winter, and the other dragon warriors will also stay," Gawain shook his head, "Huber and I, we two go in first."

"You two?" Melita's eyes widened immediately, "The situation in that tower is unknown, are you sure you don't need Noretta and me as guards? And..."

"The biggest danger in that tower is not simply the 'threat of force', but the pollution from the reverse tide." Gawain shook his head before Melita finished speaking, "Both Amber and I have the ability to resist the erosion of the gods. And... I don't know if Heragor or Andal mentioned it to you, but there is a certain connection between me and the legacy of the voyager. Except for the two of us, other ordinary people are affected by the tower. The possibility of pollution cannot be solved simply by being powerful.”

Having said that, he smiled with confidence in his tone: "And when it comes to 'powerful'... Don't forget that my own strength is also a legend, so I don't need to accept other people's advice when exploring the tower. Protect.

"So you all stay here as a backup, and keep an eye on the movement from the tower and the news from Amber and me. If something really comes out of that tower...be sure to intercept it.

"

"...Okay," Melita thought for a while, and found that she had no reason to refute, so she could only nod her head lightly, "Then we'll stay on the Cold Winter and wait for your news. But how do you and Amber plan to get there? How do you plan to pass the news back? There are still six nautical miles away from the tower, if neither the Winter nor the dragons can get close..."

"Why didn't we even prepare for this?" Gao Wen couldn't help laughing, and looked up at a certain area near the bridge of the Bitter Winter, "The Dragoon fighter planes on the Bitter Winter are equipped with scouting and escort functions. That’s in the past. As for the connection with the Bitter Winter... This ship is equipped with a powerful magic net broadcasting transceiver device, and Amber and I will take the magic net terminal there, six nautical miles... It’s not more than the Bitter Winter’s shipboard communication Receiving range. Of course, after arriving in that tower, there may be something that may happen, and the communication may be blocked, so there is no way—we can only adapt to it.”

"I understand." Melita nodded lightly and said, but just before Gawain and Amber were about to leave, the great adventurer Mordir, who had been standing next to Victoria without making a sound, suddenly stepped forward and broke. Silence: "Hey, you don't plan to take me with you? I have to go with you!"

Gao Wen couldn't help but glanced at the great adventurer immediately: "You should stay here for the time being, after all, you may also be polluted."

There is still the second half of the sentence in his mind: If you are polluted again this time, there will be no dragon god to help you survive.

However, Modil has obviously considered this issue seriously. The old man shook his head and said with a firm attitude: "Stay on the ship at such a critical time, so why should I come with you in the first place? I want to go with you. I know what's in it Risk, but in my current state, I would rather take a little risk——I ran so far from Loren Continent to come here just for today."

Gawain quietly stared into the eyes of the great adventurer, and the latter welcomed his gaze frankly. After ten seconds of confrontation, Gawain looked at Duchess Victoria standing beside Mordir, from behind In the eyes of the interviewer... nothing was seen in the eyes, but the Ice Duke nodded slightly.

"Okay," Gawain finally nodded, "If there is anything you need to prepare, do it now, we will take off in fifteen minutes."

...

The low humming sound broke the silence under the night. The light dragoon aircraft for reconnaissance skimmed the sea under the stars, breaking through the cold wind and flying towards the tall tower in the distance. Exuding radiance, it outlines the outline of this magical creation, making it look like a phantom phantom shuttling through the night.

Amber sat in her seat, but she was not honest at all. She leaned forward and almost pressed her face against the crystal window on the side, while excitedly watching the night scene outside, she BB'd endlessly: "Hey! I didn't expect you to really You know how to fly this! When I heard you say it at first, I thought you were joking, but I didn’t expect you to be able to fly this well. When did you learn..."

"Nonsense," Gao Wen held the joystick of the aircraft in his hand, felt the mechanical feedback from the magical engineering creation, and couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at the shame of the alliance beside him, "If I don't know how to fly it, I can fly it casually." Do you have a plan? Do you think the flying machine is your shadow ability, and when you use it, you can use "I think"? If you don't control this thing well, it will fall!"

"Oh-oh--" Amber nodded while agreeing, and didn't know that she listened carefully to the few words, but Mordir, who was sitting behind Gawain, never spoke. The great adventurer was just thinking. Since the aircraft took off, it has been carefully observing the various equipment in its cockpit, the changes outside the porthole, and the flow of magic power inside it. Seeing this scene, even Amber, who was in a state of excitement, couldn't help it. He asked, "Hey, old man, would you like to express your thoughts?"

"...It's an incredible thing," Modil finally said, with admiration in his tone, "I saw the mechanical ship driven by a magic mechanism before, and I already felt the incredible magic technology, but I didn't expect this legend. The flying machine in it is more ingenious than the mechanical ship... Its anti-gravity structure and driving structure are not like things in the human magic system, but they can be combined to operate together... It's incredible, it's incredible..."

The great adventurer used several "unbelievable" words to express his feelings, then he was silent for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "It would be great if we could have such a machine when taking risks, although I also It can fly, but this machine is obviously more tireless than humans, and its speed and height far exceed the flying skills of mages...and it can carry more supplies..."

"In fact, we are already using various specially modified 'Dragon Cavalry' to do survey work," Amber said immediately aside, "Several departments of the Government Affairs Department have corresponding survey teams, including surveying and mapping, and surveying. Minerals, as well as those observing forests, hydrology, flora and fauna, and offshore ecological groups. They are equipped with magic vehicles, anti-gravity aircraft or mechanical ships, have logistics provided by the Government Affairs Department, have a professional team with sufficient manpower, and various Equipment—we have recently hired several Krakens as deep-sea consultants, and the government affairs department is even planning to explore the seabed ecology near Beigang..."

Amber just opened up a topic habitually, but Modil, who was listening at the side, showed a very serious and solemn look. This great adventurer listened attentively, as if he was imagining such a systematic, What would it be like to have a large-scale exploration project backed by national power? Finally, a somewhat complicated smile appeared on his face, and he muttered softly as if talking to himself: "That's great... What a wonderful time this era is. It's different..."

The cockpit of the aircraft was a little quiet for a while, only the low hum of the magic equipment running could be heard from the surroundings, and then Gawain's voice suddenly sounded: "Here we are, I'm looking for a place to land."

Amber's attention was drawn to the outside again in an instant. She leaned against the window, stared at the scenery outside, opened her mouth slowly, and made an exaggerated voice: "...Wow!!"

The figure of the towering giant tower enveloped this small aircraft. The ancient miracle that had stood on the surface of this planet for nearly two million years had been magnified at this distance into a posture that could not see the whole picture at all. Amber stared hard. The big eyes want to observe the overall outline of the giant tower, but they only see a sky-penetrating "arc barrier" extending upwards in the field of vision under the night, and the surface of the barrier is full of lines and protrusions that she can't understand. rise.

Gawain turned on the extra ground-facing lights, and with the help of strong light, he looked for a suitable place to land. He saw the land cast by an unknown alloy extending continuously below, and buildings that looked like warehouses or factories were scattered on the ground. On the roughly disc-shaped man-made platform, he also saw structures that seemed to be roads and connecting tracks. These suspected ancient transportation facilities connected the buildings distributed throughout the platform, and finally connected to the foundation of the tower. nearby.

The tall tower above blocked the starlight, casting a spectacular but unsettling shadow on the platform and the nearby sea. The light reconnaissance aircraft quietly passed through this shadow. In the process of finding the landing place, In Gao Wen's mind, he was constantly sketching and imagining the appearance of this place at the beginning of its construction, and imagining what this ancient facility would be like during the years when the Voyagers stayed on this planet for a short time.

Will those factories run day and night? Will there be managers living on this island of steel? Where will the things produced from here be sent? Will there be a shuttle from space piercing the sky and landing somewhere in this steel land—such as a star port?

He felt his heart pounding and his blood flowing faster. He had to control himself specifically to finally suppress the excitement that surged from the bottom of his heart—and he knew where this emotion came from.

This is the first time he has personally come into contact with a complete voyager legacy, and it is such a large-scale legacy. Some kind of inexplicable "resonance" awakened in his heart, making him faintly feel... between himself and this tower. There is a connection.

Amber noticed the subtle changes in Gawain's breathing and eyes. She looked worried, and seemed to want to come over to ask about the situation, but before she could speak, a slight vibration suddenly came from under her body - the aircraft was in a certain place. Landed on a metal platform, Gawain's voice came to her and Mordir's ears: "We have landed."

Gawain breathed a deep sigh of relief. He turned on the communication device on the operation panel. Accompanied by a slight rustling noise, the signal between the aircraft and the Winter was successfully connected. Byron's figure appeared in the small holographic projection. His voice It sounded quite clear: "Your Majesty, how is the situation over there?"

"We have landed safely at the southwest corner of the inner ring area of ​​the 'Island of Steel'," Gao Wen said, looking outside the porthole. "According to my observation, there should be an entrance leading to the interior of the tower near here. Then we I will go to the island to investigate, and I will keep the magic net terminal of the reconnaissance plane turned on and adjusted to forwarding mode, and this communication line will not be closed."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Let's go," Gawain nodded, looking at Amber beside him and Mordir behind him, "Come and witness this miraculous creation left over from ancient times."

The hatch of the Dragoon was opened, and Amber and Modil stepped out of the cockpit one after another, stepping on this piece of iron and steel land that had gone through nearly two million years but showed no sign of weathering and disintegration, and Gawain left at the end, and after leaving Beforehand, the communication system of the Dragoon fighter was adjusted to the forwarding state - in this way, this aircraft can act as a communication "base station", and the portable magic net terminal he carried on his body can use this "base station" to maintain communication with the Winter. This is equivalent to solving the problem of low power and weak signal of the portable magic net terminal.

"My God..." Hu Po stared wide-eyed, looking at this silent giant island of steel, "How did this thing be made... Can the mortal race really make this kind of thing?"

Gawain patted her on the shoulder lightly: "In the eyes of the ancients thousands of years ago, our mechanical bridge standing on the Baishui River is like a miracle, and it will make them as amazed as you are."

Amber showed a thoughtful look, while Gao Wen looked at Modil who was standing on the other side of him: "How do you feel? Do you remember anything?"

"...No," Mordir shook his head slowly, "I don't feel anything, and I don't think of anything, but...I vaguely feel that this place seems a little familiar, a kind of familiar...I can't put it into words."

"It's expected," Gawain nodded lightly, looking at the darkness in the distance. They are now standing on a straight and flat road. The tall metal piles, the mottled traces on the ground seem to still have traces of some kind of traffic sign, "Go along this road, the end of which I saw from the sky just now is at the foot of that tower."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, and Amber and Modil followed closely behind him.

"Buzz—"

At this moment, some slight buzzing sounds suddenly entered Gawain's ears.

In an instant, the three of them were on guard. Gawain casually pulled out the Pathfinder Sword that he had specially brought during this operation. Modil had an extra battle staff in his hand at some point, and Amber even had a leg. He had already stepped into the shadow rift, and the next second, Gawain saw the half-meter-high metal piles on both sides of the road suddenly change in the darkness——

The structure at the top of them opened quietly, and a bright white ball of light rose from it, and rose to a height of several meters. Under the light of the ball of light, the road that was originally covered by darkness became as bright as day.

This is a street light.

It started by itself.
