Chapter 567 Tower Keeper, Visitor

After the summer, the weather is getting hotter day by day.

Even though Ansu belongs to a northern country as a whole, the southern border in the extreme south of Ansu still has hot summers, and this year, summer seems to be coming earlier than ever.

The fire constellation has become a frequent visitor in the night sky, and the giant sun's residence time in the daytime is also longer day by day.

In the wilderness on the northwest border of Lu'an City, a tall tower stands quietly on the plain. The gap between the tower's base shimmers with a slight magic light. Occasionally, a stream of light slips through the outer walls of the tower, and a huge crystal floats. At the top of the tower, several metal brackets with strange shapes extended from the top of the tower. The rune device at the end of the bracket slowly rotated in the breeze against the brilliant sunrise.

It was a beautiful and sunny summer morning.

The tower guard, Green, woke up from his sleep. After a simple wash, he came to the upper floor of the tower wearing a thin shirt and shorts.

The increasingly bright sunlight is shining into the room through the crystal window of the workshop. Outside the window, a group of wild pigeons are flying across the sky.

"...these stupid pigeons...hope they don't shit on the booster..."

Green murmured something, and threw the unfinished pancakes on the heating table, then pressed the frost rune board into the energy card slot on the wall, and opened the ventilation duct of the studio at the same time.

Fresh cold wind blew into the room from the ventilation duct, dispelling the rising heat, and also refreshed Ge Lin, who was still a little tired.

The tower guard let out a satisfied exclamation—the device that the city sent to install last month really worked well.

He couldn't help but think of the "advertising" he had seen on the magic net terminal before, the words that the Cod Family Business Company used as a signboard--

Magic brings convenience to life.

When they first came into contact with this concept, most people were dazed and stunned. Even Green, the tower guard who worked with magic devices all day, never imagined what it would be like when magic became a part of daily life. , but that's how it came about, in a dizzying way.

The magic device is not only the private property of the lord, but also not only the industry of the "public". Cheap and convenient civilian magic devices are entering the private sector. Although it is still very slow, although it is still the privilege of relatively wealthy big city citizens for the time being, it is It is really entering the life of ordinary people.

And they really bring convenience.

The metal device outside the window moved slowly, and the tower guard came to the observation position and watched the huge steel bracket slowly rise to the air. Sky, and then he returned to the workbench. While activating the magic net terminal on the workbench, he took out the record book and carefully wrote the first monitoring record of the day on it:

"...On the 30th of the Fire Moon, clear, breeze, Lu'an Magic Web Hub Tower, the first monitoring record, the booster works normally, the magic crystal works normally, the magic web broadcast signal..."

Green raised his head and saw a preset signal screen emerging above the activated magic net terminal, the identification mark from the Hosman hub tower and the signal from the lower relay tower flashed one by one on it.

"The magic net broadcast signal is normal and the strength is excellent..."

Green recorded it earnestly and without any sloppiness.

He is a very serious and careful person, and it is precisely because of this that he can get the job of "tower guard" - this job is simple and boring, and requires a high level of magic knowledge, but the income is very good, it is It is suitable for Gelin, who has five children and needs this job.

This magic web hub tower is one of the three hub towers in the entire northwestern region of the Principality of Cecil. It is an important node to maintain the transmission of the magic web from the Luan area to the Hosman area. It relies on the huge magic crystal and gain on the top of the tower. This tower provides signal transmission and reinforcement services for a dozen unattended small relay towers in the plain area, and also supplies energy to the southern area of ​​Lu'an City, which is extremely important.

In addition to Green himself, there are two tower guards and Green working together, but one of them is in charge of the night shift, and the other has gone out to check the unmanned relay tower on the plain.

In addition to the three technical tower guards, there is also a small military station on the lower level of the tower. Ten fully armed "tower guards" are responsible for guarding here. The tower itself also has its own magic shield. ——All of this is to ensure the safety of the magic net in the northwest frontier.

According to Green's knowledge, this tower will have some additional staff in the near future, and by then, it should be more lively here.

"It's hard to find someone who can skillfully operate these magic devices..." The tower guard muttered, pressing the inspection confirmation button on the magic net terminal to send a safety signal back to the magic net control center, while shaking Shaking his head, "I hope he graduated from Cecil College..."

The crispy fragrance of the sweetened biscuits gradually wafted over, and Green felt his stomach growl. He stood up and walked towards the heating table.

As a person who doesn't like to socialize very much, his breakfast is solved by himself. Only at dinner time, when the three tower guards are in the tower, will he follow to the lower floor and dine with the tower guards of the military station. .

But just as he got up, a shadow suddenly flashed out of the window, attracting the attention of the tower guard.

Goddess of magic! ! Wouldn't it be a bunch of pigeons pooping on the booster? !

Green hurriedly walked to the window, craned his neck and looked at the sky in the distance. He didn't see the pigeons that always caused him trouble, but he saw several huge eagle-like birds of prey rising up. Fly to the east under the higher rising sun.

And on those eagle-like raptors, the silhouettes of human figures can still be vaguely seen.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the tower guard realized what those birds of prey he had never seen before—that was mentioned in the notification document a while ago, the elf giant he had only heard of in the story before. eagle.

After a brief stupor, Green immediately ran to the workbench and used the magic net terminal to call the supreme control center. With the internal communication channel enabled, the communication was connected almost instantly. A girl with flax hair Appears in a holographic projection.

Green said quickly: "This is the Luan Junction Tower - I saw the elven giant eagle entering just now, please notify the lord."

"Received, thank you for your report."

After hanging up the communication, Ge Lin breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not miss this sighting-although he knew that there would also be a tower nearby to notice the giant eagle of the elves, but he still did not want his work to have any effect. mistake.

The tower guard went back to the window and glanced at the sky where the giant eagle flew over. The giant eagle of the elves was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, those huge figures had already turned into distant figures. A few small dots, in the backlight of the rising sun, soon became unclear.

Ge Lin retracted his gaze, but his gaze suddenly swept past the slowly moving magic device outside the window, and his eyes froze for a moment.

... It really deserves to be a giant eagle, this "weight" is more than a pigeon! !

The tower guard looked at the "Giant Eagle Remnant" on the booster bracket with a stunned expression, and suddenly felt that this sunny summer morning didn't seem so beautiful.

He went back to his workbench, took out a piece of letterhead, and started writing—compared to the keyboard of a Leyline terminal, this scribe-turned-tower-keeper is still accustomed to this traditional writing tool:

"To Cecil Magic Technology Research Institute and Magic Application Design Bureau:

"...It is recommended to add protective shields to high-altitude outdoor magic devices, or to add global shields on top of high-altitude facilities. The interference of birds is a disturbing situation, especially their feces..."

A scorching smell wafted into Ge Lin's nostrils, and the tower guard jumped in surprise: "Ouch - my breakfast!!"

Now, this sunny summer morning really isn't any good at all.

...

Vast fields and jungles are passing quickly below, rivers and lakes are scattered on the endless land like jewels dotted on the plains, cities and villages are scattered among the rivers and mountains, and wide roads connect all of them like arteries. The settlement of ——the entire southern border is like a canvas shining in the sun, and every inch of color on the canvas is blooming with endless vitality in the midsummer season.

The giant eagle flew across the sky, and everything on the earth was reflected in the eagle's eyes.

Under the influence of Druid spells, the eagle's vision was shared with the children of the forest who were sitting on the back of the giant eagle.

"The mage tower looked so strange just now," an elf ranger turned his head and said to his nearest partner. The unique elf spells channeled the high-altitude airflow, so that they would not be disturbed by strong winds, nor would they be affected by wind noise. , "It doesn't look like the style of the Four Kingdoms - it doesn't look like Violet's Mage Tower. And the crystal on the top of the tower doesn't know what it is for. It always feels like it is constantly releasing energy, but it doesn't feel to any specific spell effect."

"Duchess Victoria mentioned that there are many strange things in this land in the south," another elf ranger said loudly on the other side, "It is said that they were brought by Duke Gawain Cecil."

A messenger who was guarded by the rangers in the middle couldn't help but sighed: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen the famous human duke - the year he 'killed', I was still by the mentor's side."

"I have seen it once. I saw it from a distance. I was a guard of honor when the leaders of various countries swore an oath in front of the magnificent wall, but I guess he must not remember me."

"There's no need to doubt that, I'm sure you don't remember, your face doesn't have any special features..."

Sonia Frostleaf listened to the conversation of her friends, but her attention was on the ground below.

There was a slight white light in her eyes, and under the spell effect of shared vision, she could see what the eagle could see.

"A lot of newly built roads... A lot of newly expanded cities... There are also strange machines in the fields, incredible, incredible," Sonia tutted in amazement, "The human nobles in Silver Castle say that the southern border has been abandoned for a century... But Now it appears to be recovering at an alarming rate."

Near her, a ranger guard asked with concern: "High-ranking messenger, how is your Eagle?"

Sonia Frostleaf stroked the feathers of the giant eagle under her body and nodded: "Gugu's situation is fine, he said he is much more comfortable now."

"Cuckoo may be a little uncomfortable," another messenger said. "This is the north after all. Giant eagles are not adapted to this place. Occasional diarrhea is normal. In fact, the situation is already very good, at least we are not here in the coldest winter. of."

"The weather that even the giant eagle can't adapt to..." Sonia shook her head, "I really don't know what's good in the north..."

At this moment, the elf ranger flying at the forefront of the team suddenly shouted: "High-level messenger, we should fly south!"

Under the command of the masters, each giant eagle made a loud chirping, and then the whole team turned to the south in a neat manner.

This day is Ansu 737, the 30th day of the fire month.

The elves' messengers have come to the southern border.
