Chapter 548: Witnessing Again

After he escaped from the mind network, Gawain immediately received Amber's report.

"...That's basically the situation," Miss Half-elf said at the end of the report, "The current situation of the magnificent wall is normal, and there is no sign of aberrations approaching. It seems that it only happened at the junction of the southern foothills of the Dark Mountains and the Black Forest. It collapsed - the outpost couldn't see what was going on because of the hills."

"...I understand," Gawain pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Pay close attention to the situation of the magnificent wall, and arrange for the security team in the fortress to patrol the southern part of the fortress. If the mountain really collapses, the south corridor of the fortress may be affected. ."

After arranging these, Gawain did not stop at the Magical Technology Research Institute, but returned directly to the lord's mansion on the grounds that he needed a rest.

After returning to the study where the environment was more stable, he immediately called the satellite channel in his mind.

A special top-down view of space appeared in his mind, and the images from the orbital monitoring satellites appeared in front of Gawain. He carefully controlled this ancient system and focused the monitoring on the junction of the southern foot of the Dark Mountains and the Black Forest. Location.

He was looking for the traces left by landslides or earthquakes. The too old satellite system was running with difficulty. The indistinct picture showed an image of a slowly moving decaying wasteland. After a few minutes of glances and difficult comparisons After that, his eyes suddenly stopped.

There is something there, on the extension of Cecil City to the due south, within the Black Forest, there is something, but it is not the remnants of a landslide, a rock collapse, or an earthquake, but a patch that looks like something. traces of impact craters.

After zooming in, the picture is not clear enough, and the rotten and deep wasteland background color makes it extremely difficult to distinguish the details of the picture, but Gawain can still see the radial folds around the annular area and the lodging around the impact crater. The giant wood of the 10-meter-high can be destroyed neatly, which means that the impact is extremely strong, and judging from the smoke and dust that has not dissipated in the air, the impact crater appeared not long ago.

What it is? Did something fall from the sky?

Gawain looked at the huge impact crater in astonishment. Although he didn't know what happened, he was almost certain that the impact crater in that form was not caused by the magic tide.

At this moment, he was extremely hopeful that he could immediately go to the scene to investigate what it was, but the location of the impact crater was at the southern foot of the Dark Mountain Range. The location is too dangerous.

Although with the development of the territory on the right track, the power in his hands has gradually become stronger, Gawain is already considering taking more active actions against the wasteland of Gondor,

There are also some plans to establish an observation station or advance base at the southern foot of the Dark Mountain Range, but obviously, these plans are just plans-for now, the Principality of Cecil is not ready to cross the Dark Mountain Range.

Soldiers carry equipment to walk from the southern foot of the steep and precipitous mountain range. They have to pass through a large area of ​​corrupted mountain roads with fragile structures and poisonous demonized vegetation coverage. It is extremely difficult to descend the mountain. Whether it is carrying materials or calling for rear support, it is extremely difficult. In a crisis, it is almost impossible to survive...

However, you can send a few top elites without moving soldiers, or you can go there yourself - legendary powerhouses can still move in the southern foothills of the Dark Mountain Range, but... Is that impact pit worth the risk?

Gao Wensi said that the sudden shock pit made him very concerned, but at this moment, another thing suddenly broke into his surveillance field.

...

Thin clouds swept from both sides at a rapid speed, and the cold air flow was cut by huge wings, whistling and blowing over the huge body covered with scales. The adult dragon with blue scales hovered high in the sky. , In the eyes like jewels, the scene of the devastated earth below is reflected.

Corrupted mountain rocks are layered on top of each other, and various distorted and mutated magical plants are growing between the rock layers. Corruption stretches south from the Dark Mountains - the Black Forest, the Banded Plains, the Great Wall, and finally the Gondor Wastes - all the way to the terrifying storm of dark blue magic that even dragons fear. The place.

The dragon flapped its wings and adjusted an angle in the air. Her gaze swept across the border of the Black Forest, and a huge impact crater that was still emitting smoke appeared in her field of vision.

She stopped at a high altitude and began to call out the obscure and ancient dragon language magic. With the surging magic power, a pale golden rune light screen appeared in the air. The mana shield blocked the external whistling wind, and prepared a stable communication for communication. Conversational environment.

A female voice came out of the dragon's mouth: "We have reached the coordinates, south of the Dark Mountains. We have witnessed a crash pit, and the scale is very large."

Complicated symbols and lines danced on the surface of the pale golden rune light screen, and a slightly distorted voice came from the light screen: "...receive...please observe closely. Pay attention to safety, it is very close to the magic energy pollution area, don't fell in there."

"I know, I will be careful," Lan Long said slightly carelessly. "Actually, this place is quite far from the real pollution area. I think it should be flying south..."

Before Lan Long finished speaking, a serious voice came from the light screen: "Don't do unnecessary things - have you forgotten the lesson last time?"

"It wasn't my fault last time, and I just made a forced landing and didn't aim well..."

"The panel was impressed with your crash landing, but we don't plan to watch it again any time soon - please focus on the task at hand."

Lan Long shook her head from side to side, looking rather impatient, then she cut off the communication, flapped her wings abruptly, and began to quickly lower her height.

On the edge of the black forest, a huge impact crater is still billowing with smoke and dust. The strong impact force that erupted before kicked out a large piece of vegetation around the huge crater, and left a large area of ​​radial turtle cracks on the edge of the crater. In the center of the pit, in the deepest part of the smoke and dust, a mass of twisted and deformed metal remains is still hot.

The gust of wind suddenly blew, dispelling the smoke and dust that hit the bottom of the pit, and the blue dragon descended from the sky. With a heavy landing sound, the huge body stopped firmly in the pit.

"I'm still pretty stable."

Lan Long underestimated a sentence softly, then stepped forward, came to the bottom of the impact pit, and came to the still hot metal wreckage.

It was an alloy device with a length of about two or three meters and a diameter of less than half a meter. Although it experienced the terrifying impact of the ultra-high temperature and the fall into the atmosphere, the basic shape of the wreckage was still intact. It was roughly cylindrical. Both ends have been broken, and many charred cables and tube bundles have been extended from the fracture, and some raised structures can still be seen on the surface of the cylinder-various features indicate that this wreckage is from a larger individual peeled off.

"...Ugh...sure enough..."

The blue dragon let out a sigh, and then she stretched out her huge claws and grabbed the alloy device that still had amazing heat.

"Recover the wreckage."

The huge wings agitated the air and the magic in the air, bringing the huge body of the giant dragon to the sky. After reaching the signal transmission height, she first hovered in place for a while, as if hesitating whether to explore further afield. A moment, but after a moment of hesitation, she still opened the communication.

The pale golden rune light screen appeared in the air again, and there was a slight rush of voice from the rune light screen: "How is the situation? Are things confirmed?"

"The falling object has been confirmed to be a piece of debris that fell off the Glow 1 or Glow 2 station. It looks like a part of the gravitational calibrator - it may still be working when it falls, and the huge amount released at the moment of falling to the ground The energy blasted a huge crater here. Alas, the scholars were right."

"It really is the Glow Space Station..." The voice in the rune light screen paused for a moment, "The devices left by the voyagers... each and every one of them will reach the limit of their lifespan."

"It will be broken one day, aren't we already mentally prepared?"

"Being mentally prepared is not the same as being prepared," came a helpless voice from the screen, "The key question now is that the legacy left by the sailors may be destroyed before the end of the season cycle, but until the end of the season. Now, the various races of civilization this season still see no hope of breaking the game..."

The blue dragon fell silent, she hovered in the high-altitude wind, seemingly speechless, but half a minute later she suddenly broke the silence: "Not necessarily."

"Um?"

"Maybe this time there is a turning point."

The voice from the light screen was suddenly a little surprised: "The turnaround? Which one are you talking about... not to mention those elves or those sea monsters in the far sea, the inheritance of those elves has long been interrupted, those sea monsters... God knows those What does the siren think about all day."

"It's not them, it's humans," Lan Long shook his head from side to side. "Strictly speaking, it's the kingdom established by that human being who came back from the dead... It seems interesting."

"That human named Gawain Cecil?" The voice in the light screen was a little surprised, "Ah, his resurrection is impressive, and his development is indeed unexpected... But you saw a break from him. hope? Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure, but there is a phenomenon that I may be surprised when I say it," Lan Long said, "In his Principality of Cecil, the power of the Holy Light is developing, but the power of the God of Light... decline."

"……incredible!"

"But it's true." Lan Long said firmly, but just as she was about to continue to say something, a strange heart palpitations suddenly interrupted her.

Under the influence of some kind of intuition beyond human understanding, the blue dragon immediately determined the source of this palpitation. She suddenly fluttered her wings and left the hovering position, and then tried to raise her head while circling, looking at the sky.

"No way, come again?!"

The dragon opposite the light screen heard the blue dragon's shout and immediately asked the situation: "What happened?!"

"It's a sense of prying from an unknown source... from right above!" Blue Dragon rampaged at high altitude, his tone was rather frantic, "Damn... I still think it came from the direction of the satellite... You really confirm the starter. Didn't come back?"

"It's absolutely certain - in short, you need to leave your current location as soon as possible. Leave the tracking behind and head to the western assemblage point. There will be people there to pick you up."

"I want to get rid of it..." Lan Long shouted while desperately changing his flight path in the air, "The key is that I can't get rid of it... Damn, I'm afraid I have to perform that again..."

"Ah?! You can think about it..."

"There's nothing to think about, hesitation, and it crashes - I think I'll make it this time."

...

Gawain cut off the satellite connection slightly tired and frustrated.

Lost again.

It was the same situation as last time: after continuing to monitor for a period of time, the giant dragon noticed the prying eyes from outer space, and then he quickly changed the flight direction in an incomprehensible maneuver and completely disappeared from sight.

But there is one thing that Gawain can be sure of: the giant dragon that appeared this time should be the same one he saw last time when he was monitoring the Fortress of the Treaty.

(Yo!!)
