Chapter 570

Compared with dealing with the Ansu nobles in San Sunil, Sonia obviously appreciated Gawain's style of conduct.

She was talking about what she had seen and heard in Ansu during this period of time, and her voice was unavoidable: "We have been delayed for a whole month in the north... More than 40 of the 60 days have been listening to those nobles shirk their responsibilities and talk to them. Discussing meaningless issues. Comparatively speaking, the Eastern Territory known as the 'rebel' is more efficient than the nobles in the capital, but it still takes a lot of time."

"The kingdom belongs to the king, but his own territory belongs to himself. The subordinate nobles must protect their own interests, so once they face an incident involving the entire kingdom, their efficiency will be particularly low," Gawain reluctantly Shaking his head, "I expected that."

"It's really nothing compared to the past..." Sonia sighed softly, "Fortunately, the girl named Victoria still has some shadows of her ancestors."

"Victoria Wilder..." Gawain said softly, turning to look at Sonia, "What's your impression of her?"

Sonia pondered for a moment: "Very hard, but also very tired, she hides it well, but she can't hide it from my eyes. She has a good talent, not much different from Snow, but still not enough to deal with the eyes. The situation—I could see that she was struggling with this chaotic kingdom, and that her true talents were completely overwhelmed by the endless prevarication and infighting."

"Spot the blood."

"As the envoy of the Silver Empire, I shouldn't have commented too much on Ansu, but as a comrade-in-arms seven hundred years ago, I have nothing to be ashamed of with you," Sonia said calmly. The prince who reinvigorated Ansu also came into contact with the nobles and dukes of Saint Sunil who were loyal to the traditional royal family. Frankly speaking, there are many capable leaders among them - but I am very suspicious of these leaders who are themselves in the quagmire. Can you really bring this country back to the right track? You are the one who created the basic order of this kingdom with your own hands. Are you content with the southern border and sit back and watch all this happen?"

This sentence can be said to be extremely sharp, and a normal human politician would not ask such a question, but Gawain knows the style of elves - they have always been straight, and can emphasize that this is a private conversation before speaking out, it is already Sony Ya's greatest euphemism.

The atmosphere at the scene stiffened for two seconds, and then Gao Wencai smiled and shook his head gently: "You know that there is a tree near the Ancestor's Peak called the Tree of Su Sheng."

"...After a hundred years of age, it will quickly wither and become extremely dry and flammable. Just waiting for a wildfire, large tracts of Susheng wood will be turned into ashes, and new young shoots will germinate in the ashes. Growing..." Sonia said softly, "It's a lot of risk."

"Survive,

It's an adventure in itself. "

Gawain said calmly, he raised his head and looked at the holographic image projected by the scroll-shaped magic device on the table.

In the hologram, the structure of the magnificent wall in the southern part of Anzu is clearly presented, and in the translucent image, two Sentinel towers are flashing with striking blue light.

"Two sentinel towers need to be constructed at the same time, right?"

"Yes," Sonia nodded, "one is near the southeast of Ansu, just south of the Dark Mountains, we hope you are in charge, and the other is in the southwest of Ansu. Duke Baldwin Franklin has confirmed that he will send a team The team goes to take charge of the tower - led by his nephew himself. Of course, both teams are nominally led and directed by you to the outside world."

"Will the personnel and supplies be in place before the frost moon?"

"Saint Sunil City and the Eastern Territory have made commitments that they will share the material pressure, and Duke Baldwin Franklin will provide the manpower needed to repair the southwest tower," Sonia affirmed, "and the southeast tower is The manpower needed by the side... I hope that the southern border will be in charge."

"Of course, it's totally fine," Gawain agreed immediately, "If I can use all my own hands, I will also have a lot less trouble here."

What Sonia conveyed must be the plan reached by the Eastern Border and the Royal Family after some negotiation and compromise. In this plan, the Eastern Border and the Royal Family bear the material pressure, but only the Duke of the Western Border is the one who emerges—the intention is obvious.

They want to maintain the scale of the confrontation on the front line of the Holy Spirit Plain and maintain the number of reserve soldiers.

The western border is far away from the front line of confrontation, and it is not a source of troops for this civil war. In addition, the geographical location is close to the southwest tower, so it is natural to be successful.

"We hope to finish this project in two years—two years at the most," Sonia said, "preferably a year. Because according to our records, the fel surges in the wasteland every two or three years. There will be a big ups and downs, the last overload was caused by the magic surge, and to ensure safety, we must complete the reinforcement before the next surge."

Gawain said solemnly: "I believe everyone will do their best, after all, this is about their own life and death."

"I hope so."

The matter about the magnificent wall was roughly finished, and Sonia put away the magic device that stored the technical data, and handed it over to Soldrin, who was on the side: "This data is left to you, and the materials and personnel are in place. Before, your magician can study it first. One of the people I brought this time is a magician who participated in the design of the 'sub-tower' and the 'pressure relief point', and you can ask him if you have any questions."

Gawain nodded to Soldrin, then exhaled, he glanced at Sonia, and asked in a casual tone: "Speaking of which, Bersetia has been crowned for more than seven hundred years... It should have grown into a A qualified queen, right?"

"Your Majesty is an excellent queen, you should be surprised to see her again."

Gawain laughed: "I still only remember how she dragged me around in the camp... Is she sitting on the throne of dominance now?"

"That's the Queen's job," Sonia said earnestly. "Her Majesty passed the test six hundred years ago and became the new owner of the Throne. She did a good job, and the Temple of the Stars is still sailing today. Above the sky of the Silver Empire."

"That temple in the sky that never touches the earth..." Gawain showed a look of memory, "I was fortunate enough to go there once, when the various countries signed a covenant, at that time the temple sailed to the Ancestor's Peak near the peak... That is probably the first time that the Temple of the Stars has left the southern part of the continent, right?"

"Yes, and the only time," Sonia said, her eyes couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "After that, the scope of the temple's activities was basically limited to the Silver Empire and the High Ridge Kingdom... and the most recent overseas The cruising range has been further reduced to the eastern part of the Highmountain Kingdom."

"You still haven't solved the problem of power aging?"

Seven hundred years ago, Gawain Cecil had a close relationship with the elves. Many things about the Temple of the Stars are not secret here. Facing Gawain's inquiry, Sonia just sighed: "We have tried to repair it. Once...and yet it had little effect."

"...That ancient system is said to be the creation of the primordial elves in the ancient times, but the civilization of the primordial elves scattered with the differentiation of various elves, and has long since disappeared in history. The inheritance of the silver elves is the most complete of all elves. , but still can't understand all the mysteries of the Temple of the Stars..." Gawain said with emotion, "I still remember the first time Belsetia told me about these things."

Belsetia had just been crowned back then. Although she was known as the Queen of Silver, she was almost a carefree girl at heart. Only when she mentioned the mysteries of the Temple of the Stars and the scattered civilization heritage of the primordial elves, she It shows seriousness and sadness.

Gawain talked a lot with Sonia.

From the brief battle side by side 700 years ago, to the establishment of the magnificent wall, from the ups and downs of the human kingdom in the past few centuries, to the development and changes of the Silver Empire in these 700 years, even the long-lived elves can I can't help but feel how long this period of time is - there are so many things that are different from the past.

At the end, Gawain ended the chat, he stood up and stretched out his hand to Sonia: "You are tired all the way, rest early today. Tomorrow I will arrange for you to visit this city, this Cecil The city should bring you a lot of surprises."

Sonia politely held Gawain's hand and stood up with a smile on her face: "This city has brought us a lot of surprises, and even this land has opened our eyes - we are in the sky But I saw a lot of interesting things."

"You will have time to understand slowly," Gawain said, and glanced at Soldering next to him, "But before that, I'll leave the time to you mother and son—after all, we haven't seen each other in seven hundred years. , you should have a lot to say."

On this relatively private occasion, Sonia couldn't help but glance at Soldrin: "I really don't know what to say to a son who hasn't known home for seven hundred years."

Soldrin's face was full of embarrassment: "Mother mother, I...have a public office here..."

Sonia stared at the embarrassed high-level ranger: "Have you been in public office for the past seven hundred years?"

Soldering: "..."

The high-level ranger looked at Gawain a little embarrassedly, his eyes were full of pleas for help, Gawain immediately understood the meaning in his old friend's eyes, and said to Sonia: "Then I will not disturb your exchange of feelings - Sonia Ma'am, see you tomorrow."

After saying this, Gawain walked out the door with someone.

Going all the way to the outside of the living room, after the door was closed, Gawain was still listening to the movement in the room with his ears pricked up, when Sonia Shuangye’s vague reprimand came out: “… That's all, there are so few communications, and now it's better, even the communication chain of the Sentinel Tower is broken...

"...Isn't it just about the hair, who is this stubborn temper...

"Is there a girl you like... not yet?! Did you know that XXX in Wind Valley City even has children!!

"What does it mean to fight for a career with Duke Cecil! What's wrong with Duke Cecil not getting married? You see that they have dozens of great-grandchildren!!"

Gawain in the corridor silently retracted his attention to the room, while Rebecca, who was beside him, couldn't help but leaned over: "Master Ancestor Ancestor! How did you know that Lady Sonia? She really Mr. Salderling's mother? Looks so young!!"

This girl has been holding back all the way, and now she has a chance to balabala.

"The age of elves can never be judged by appearance. Their growth and aging cycles are different from those of humans," Gawain said casually, "As for how they met Sonia... She was the messenger of the Silver Empire at that time, responsible for the operation of the Silver Empire. Contact between the empire and the various pioneering army forces, because of the turbulent situation, we have fought side by side."

Heidi on the other side couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Comrade-in-arms love..."

Frankly speaking, at this moment, Cecil's big housekeeper accidentally thought of the book "Gawain Cecil's Affair - A Tale of Heroes and Princesses" in her collection - and produced countless good reasons. Lenovo.

Frankly speaking, Gawain guessed what the eldest granddaughter had in mind the moment he saw the change in Heidi's expression.

He thought for a while, and decided to do something to distract Heidi—

"Hetty..."

Heidi was startled: "Ah? Ancestor, please speak!"

"Have you thought about getting married?"

"what?!"

"Actually, it's not that important to convert to the gods and give up the right of inheritance. You are not too young at this age..."

"Ancestor, wait a minute! I..."

"You don't have to be nervous, I'm just asking, but if you have any ideas..."

Gawain's method of diverting attention is very effective.
