Chapter 1421 Worth Looking Forward To

When the wind blowing across the plains gradually cools down, the dry heat begins to fade from the valleys and hills in the south of the mainland, and the yellow-brown leaves cover the ground. From the Long Bridge of Homecoming in the north to the lush jungle of the Elven Empire, it is refreshing and comfortable. The strong wind seemed to blow all over this ancient land overnight, and even the decadent and decadent atmosphere entrenched on the scorched earth brought about by the previous war seemed to be dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the forest on the edge of the Homecoming Long Bridge, the sound of heavy footsteps and wooden branches shaking and rubbing sounded continuously. The huge forest guard came out of the forest and inspected the land that has now regained its calm. Ordinary treant guards are much taller. The guard has a strong torso and iron-gray bark. There are a lot of alloy armor and tactical equipment on the outside of the bark and on the crown that are absolutely invisible to ordinary treants. They stand out in this lush forest.

They hold heavy Gorgon rail guns, shoulder shield generators and automatic missile launchers. Communication arrays and armored crew compartments are buried in the canopy. Every guard is like a walking turret—even if it is painted The wind is really weird, but the existence of these "Shorin Guardians" has become the norm in this forest. Whether it is the elves on this side of the long bridge or the humans on the other side of the long bridge, they are all used to these silent and powerful allies.

At the moment when the Silver Empire and the Gaoling Kingdom are not recovering, the Thorin Guardians are an important guarantee to ensure the peace, order and stability of the forest.

After the routine patrol to the Homecoming Long Bridge, the Thorin guards slowly stopped. One of the guards leaned over, and then two agile figures emerged from its canopy and jumped lightly. On the ground——these are two elves, but their appearances are significantly different. One of the taller huntresses is an obvious silver elf, and the other petite figure has pale to almost transparent skin and is bigger than the silver elf. On the shorter ears, you can also see faintly emerging mysterious magic patterns like tattoos on the surface of the skin.

The petite elf was Berna Breeze who led Thorin's guards to patrol the forest, and the huntress beside her... was her childhood friend she thought she would never see again.

Standing on the land of her hometown, Berna took a deep breath of the cool and fresh air. The magic runes around her neck and forehead flickered several times like breathing. Half of the Thorin guards received the order immediately and continued to patrol For the next route, Berna herself looked in the direction of the long bridge of the homecoming, and her eyes did not leave for a long time.

On the wide sea-crossing bridge built with ancient technology, the convoy transporting supplies is quickly passing through the border checkpoint of the Silver Empire, and a group of elves preparing to go to the Northern Kingdom are walking towards the "Travel Registration Bureau" near the checkpoint. The flat and wide deck of the long bridge is glowing with a psychedelic brilliance in the sun. The automatic maintenance machinery is quickly going back and forth in the grooves on both sides of the bridge, and the giant eagle knight patrolling the sky just flies over the long bridge. , the majestic and elegant figure quickly passed by in the sunlight.

Even now,

Bernard still had a dreamy sense of unreality when she saw the Homecoming Bridge.

"I really didn't expect...the day I would see this bridge again," Bernardo said softly, "It appeared in my fragmented dreams countless times, until the day when I couldn't even maintain the dream, It's still imprinted on my memory like a shadow, but now it's here, in front of my eyes, and I can even step on it..."

"Yes, you used to walk across this long bridge to go home, Berna," the tall slender huntress looked back at her childhood playmate who had been away for many years and returned to her hometown suddenly not long ago. Berna still hasn't mentioned to her former friends what she has experienced in these years, but just from those few words and her strange appearance now, the huntress knows that this must be a difficult journey, "So you really If you don't plan to stay here? You finally went home..."

"...I have thought about it, but I have my own place to go," Berna shook her head lightly, "I have already met my mentor and my friends, and they are all doing well now. They also know that I'm doing well, and I think that's enough - this forest is my hometown, but I don't belong here anymore."

"Is it because of your... this body?" The huntress frowned slightly, looking at Bernardo's body covered with magic patterns, "I noticed that your body occasionally has abnormally high fever, and you don't seem to be quite used to the life in your hometown. Food... Could it be that this body is very unstable? Or that these runes will bring a lot of pressure?"

"This is part of the reason, but more of the reason... is that it is really necessary for me to go back to the giant tree of Sorin," Bernardo laughed, "At least, I have to bring these Sorin guards back—they are from the Cecil 'loaned' to the army of the Silver Empire, and when General Lomar is ready for the handover, these reinforcements will definitely return to the mainland, and of course I, the 'commander', will follow."

"Then you can come back after you send them back..." The huntress said immediately, but finally sighed suddenly, shook her head with a helpless smile, "Well, since this is your decision, it seems There must be someone or something you are thinking about at Lin Jushu, and with your character, this matter must have been decided. So, you will always live in the north from now on?"

Berna raised her arm and looked at the shimmering runes on it: "It should be, after all, my body is indeed more suitable for the northern environment now."

Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled, and looked at her friend beside her: "But you don't have to show such an expression, Wei, have you forgotten? The wasteland is no longer an insurmountable dead land, and the north and south of the mainland are also separated." As far away as before, it seems like two worlds. I heard that soon the three empires will start to build two magic energy railways running through the wasteland, running through the east, west, north and south, based on the current blocking wall, and there will be more in the future. There will be an air 'flight' directly connecting Cecil and the Silver Empire - then you can find me, and I will take you to the highest viewing platform of the Thorin giant tree to see the sunrise of the Holy Spirit Plain.

"That is the most magnificent scenery I have ever seen in my life. It is even more beautiful than the dawn in the forest in my hometown. I can also take you to 'expedition' in the dark mountains. Now it is about to become a tourist attraction, or go to See the snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the north? I haven't been there, but I heard that the scenery around Winterhold is very beautiful, and you can catch seals near North Harbor... Have you ever seen seals? The dragons in the north are very good at roasting seals! I know some dragon friends..."

Bernardo's eyes were shining brightly, and she told about the exotic scenery that was unimaginable in the hearts of her friends who had lived in the southern forest since childhood. At this moment, the huntress called "Wei" seemed to be looking at Many years ago, I saw the elves who were excitedly packing their bags and preparing to cross the Long Bridge of Homecoming to travel to the human world in the north. He kept talking, and the other listened helplessly for a long time.

After so many years, a lot of things have changed, but some things seem to remain the same, and the feeling... doesn't seem bad.

"Okay, okay, I'll go find you. If you talk about it again, my head will explode." The corners of the huntress' lips curled up, and she reached out to press her friend's shoulder. "I'm looking forward to taking the train directly or' The day the flight' went north, as you always told us when you came back... the world changed, right?"

"Yeah, this world has changed, many things have changed..." Berna smiled lightly, but suddenly, a few runes near her neck lighted up slightly, which made her quickly shoot off the huntress arm, "Ah sorry, I'll call back..."

"Messaging again?" The huntress raised her eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in her tone, "Or that saint? She's almost becoming your mother, I heard she wasn't like that back then..."

Bernardo waved her hand with a little embarrassment and apology, and then started talking to the summons as she walked two steps away: "Ah, I was chatting with my friends just now... Now? Patrol, the situation here has just stabilized It didn't take long... I wasn't tired or tired, and I didn't have to walk down by myself. I just sat on the guard and watched the scenery. Remember, remember, keep warm? It's almost to the equator here! It's just a little cooler today! I know I know , I brush my teeth every day...Of course I don't pick up anything to eat! I'm not a two-hundred-year-old kid...

"Ah? Picking up fruits in the forest doesn't count! We elves have always... oops, my stomach is much better, it's okay... Can't you just pick up the fruits that fall from your body and eat them? And I washed them all of……"

Berna had already walked away a few steps, but her voice was still carried clearly by the wind. The huntress watched the petite elf girl leaning against the foot of the tree guard, muttering to a voice from afar, slowly Slowly, she couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

She still doesn't know what Bernardo has experienced these years, just like she doesn't know how many joys and sorrows are happening in this world every moment, and how many hazes there have been in the lost and obscure history, but just like the sunshine at this moment Shining on the earth, the Long Bridge of the Homecoming has once again regained its former vigor and bustle—in this world, it seems that there is always some future worth looking forward to.

Berna's summons will probably last for a long time, the huntress exhaled lightly, and looked up at the northern sky, and a few lights and shadows happened to emerge from the clouds at this time, and came into the huntress' sight.

It was a small group of giant eagle knights, and surrounded by giant eagle knights, the elven airship glowing in the sun.

The huntress opened her eyes slightly: The Tarash meeting is over, and the Silver Queen has returned.

...

After going through a long half-month agenda, this post-war meeting, which attracted the attention of countless people across the continent, finally came to a successful conclusion. It was the large amount of information she sent from the Tarash Plain that arrived at the Elven King's court one step earlier.

Valentian Jingu, the first minister of the empire, stood on the highest terrace of the Elf King's Court, looking at the water pool on the edge of the King's Court. A courtyard building with an exquisite and simple structure and a metallic luster as its main supporting structure was standing quietly. In the center of the pool, there are two apparently newly built bridges connecting to the shore.

That is the escape module "Garden of Tranquility" that was previously separated from the Temple of Stars. As the last well-preserved part of the once glorious Temple of Stars, this escape module has now been permanently shut down, and it stands quietly in the Elven Empire The political and cultural center of the city has become a "monument" with special significance. Every day, countless citizens spontaneously come to the water pool to commemorate. For this reason, the queen even ordered to open part of the original royal court area and use it as a Rest and activity place for visitors.

Whenever he gazed at the "monument" from the heights of the royal court, Valentian would realize more deeply—some things had been changed forever.

On the small round table not far from him, there was quietly a document written in beautiful elven script, which was the information about the post-war meeting that had just been sent back to China from the Tarash Plain.

Valentian glanced at the document sent back to the country by the Queen herself, and he had already read the contents of this document several times——

The kingdom of the deep sea officially joined the alliance as a member state. A mysterious alien group with advanced technology and ancient history was unveiled in front of the world. No one knows what changes this new force will bring to the mortal kingdoms, but Just the addition of a powerful ally is enough to look forward to;

The "Emergency Fire" of ancient Gondor, the descendant of the Norton royal family, Ophelia Norton and the Deep Blue Well under her control have finally officially returned to the mainland stage. As an independent city-state, the legal legitimacy of the Deep Blue Well has been obtained. The countries of the alliance admit that they have now joined the alliance as a new member state. At the same time, with the Deep Blue Well as the center, about a quarter of the entire Tarash Plain is designated as a permanent neutral zone;

While joining the alliance, Deep Blue Well announced its energy and magic mineral export plan. The high-purity arcane energy from the depths of the planet and the seven-century-old arcane crystal deposits will become the foundation of the alliance's post-war recovery. A surging momentum, and in the foreseeable future, this will undoubtedly change the pattern of the entire world.

However, due to the defects of the original energy flow, the range of energy transmission of the Deep Blue Well itself is limited (the territory of the ancient Gondor Empire is limited here), and the three empires headed by the Cecil Empire announced that they will establish the "Alliance Energy Integration Committee" ", using modern magic technology to solve the problem of "the dark blue magic power cannot be sent to the border of Gondor", and ensure the international price stability and market fairness of the dark blue well energy;

As for the development and reconstruction of the Gondor wasteland after the war, it can be roughly divided into two parts:

The land on the edge of the wasteland with historical data and traceable evidence will be "claimed" and legally occupied by Typhon, Cecil, Gaoling, and the human tribes in the Ogure Tribal State, because this part of the land was originally Belonging to the above-mentioned four parties, it is a territory that was opened up by the first generation of pioneers who evacuated from the Gondor Empire in the past and has historical data. It was only gradually abandoned due to the expansion of wasteland pollution in the later period. Now the pollution has receded and the countries (or successors) are still , so the lands returned to their original owners.

In fact, this issue would have been debated for a long time, but the Silver Empire presented at the meeting key evidence sufficient to support the above-mentioned legal ownership of the land: a complete set of development records, a backup of land measurement data, and 20 elf civil servants who registered the data with their own hands... …

In addition to the above-mentioned "land with a master" and the Deep Blue Well, which is an independent city-state, the rest of the wasteland is "commonly owned by all mortals". It has sent the most troops in previous wars and occupied the most land in the wasteland. At the same time, the three empires announced the abandonment of all the areas currently occupied by their respective armies, and announced the establishment of a "transnational development organization" in which all countries can participate. This organization will be dedicated to restoring the vitality of the wasteland and studying the environment after the chaotic magic energy fades , exploitation of resources in safe areas, etc., the development income will be distributed according to the "shares" of the alliance countries, the research results will be shared by all mortals, and the operation of the organization will be supervised by all member states of the alliance—at least, the three empires are so promised.

Naturally, there were dissenting voices in the league - but in the final vote, dissenting voices were in the minority.
