Chapter 590: After 700 Years
After intense debugging, more than ten unsuccessful calls and communications, and nearly two hours of excruciating waiting, the technicians monitoring the magic net communication device finally detected a regular pattern in the energy surge from the magnificent wall. The feedback signal of -
The magic web communication device has now replaced the communication function of the Sentinel Tower. It cannot obtain the special magic pattern feature of the Sentinel Tower, but it has the communication key within the Silver Empire. Under normal circumstances, this would be an illegal access request. , but in today's circumstances, illegal access requests are also responded to by listeners.
After a short period of secondary signal adjustment and enhancement, the interference in the channel stabilized at an acceptable level, and the human communication terminal and the elves' communication medium achieved satisfactory results in the first fusion, and the spike base's The communication request was first sent to the southern part of the continent in the form of text and voice, and it didn't take long to get a reply:
"His Majesty Belsetia will answer the communication."
"We have obtained a higher level of authorization, and the screen is about to be connected," Sonia stood beside the communicator, discriminating the characters displayed on the holographic projection slightly rusty, and then prompted the operator on the side, "Open the second channel. - The communication signal in the throne area is separate."
Gawain raised his head and looked at the scattered and trembling illusion projections above the magic net terminal - after a while, it began to gradually stabilize, and faintly recognizable light and shadows condensed from the scattered colors and lines. , and finally formed a clearer image.
There are still a lot of disturbances in the picture, but considering that the signal has passed through the entire wasteland of Gondor and across the entire continent, the effect is already extremely satisfactory.
A blond woman with a vengeance, wearing a crown, wearing a long court dress with gold rims and intricate lace on a white background, appears in the center of the picture.
Leader of the Elf race, Queen of the Silver Empire in this millennium and the next, Lord of the Temple of the Stars, Ruler of the Ancestral Woods and Silver Forest, Belsetia Morningstar.
She sat there, with a delicate and noble appearance, as rumored to have the appearance of a "treasure created by the gods", and a Ling Ran majesty enveloped her body, so that everyone who saw her would be the first to see her. Time realizes her status as the ruler of the empire, her throne is the legendary "Seat of Dominion", the crystallization of this ancient technology stretches out countless pipes and cables, like some kind of weird wings behind her back Stretch, the ruler sat quietly on his throne, his eyes first swept over Sonia, and then fell on Gawain.
Her expression seemed to change slightly, and Ling Ran's dignified eyes softened a little: "Duke Gawain Cecil, your resurrection really is true—thank you for the protection of the forest and the ancient spirits, this is truly a miracle Goodbye as usual."
"You are so different from what I remembered,
Gawain flipped through the memories he had inherited in his mind and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Queen Belsetia. "
In Gawain Cecil's memory, this queen was still a little girl who would run around, love "adventures", and would be stunned by the heroic stories made up by Charlie and others. Tia's initial impression was also built on this foundation, but at this moment, those long-standing memories are gradually melting away.
Seven centuries later, what was once a little girl has finally grown into an imperial ruler.
"You are still the same as I remembered," Bersetia smiled, "call me by my first name, just like before."
"Then I'll be more informal—you know, I don't like red tape," Gawain nodded, "As you can see, we've rebuilt the north-south channel of the continent, using some of our new technologies—a little bit I will introduce you in detail later. Before that, the high-ranking messenger of Sonya has more important things to report."
This is a reunion after a seven-hundred-year absence, but both parties know that they do not have the time to chat and catch up.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Sonia stepped forward immediately, "there is an emergency, and I have to agree to the establishment of this emergency channel—I have something to report to you about the Great Wall and the End of All Things. Your Majesty, Our Sentinel Tower has been eroded, and there are horrific holes in the system of the Great Wall..."
Belsetia's expression instantly became serious: "Tell me in detail."
...
The story didn't last long. As a high-level messenger, Sonia knew very well how to convey information concisely. She quickly explained to Queen Belsetia what she had seen with Gawain and others in the Sentinel Tower. , especially those vines found in the Shadow Realm, and then, Gawain added information about the dark bridge and the information that the believers in the death of all things may use the dark bridge to send signals to the wasteland.
After listening to this information, Belsetia frowned and thought for a moment. Her face was obviously not very good. After a short silence, she looked at Sonia: "Sonia, the vines you found have withered, Is it?"
"Yes, but it cannot be ruled out that the 'shadow vines' of other Sentinel Towers are still alive," Sonia said with a serious face, "and even if the vines wither, the damage they caused to the Sentinel Towers has not disappeared— Through some unknown mapping method, the Sentinel Tower of the Shadow Realm is also affecting the operation of the tower in the real world. Magister Banner has determined that several key systems of the Sentinel Tower are damaged to varying degrees, and The abnormal signals caused by these damages have been tampered with and masked in the past."
"I ordered Magister Banner to send back all the information, and I will immediately let the Astrologer Association study a solution," Belsetia's voice was full of majesty, "In addition, I will also order the Royal Druid Society to confirm whether the territory of the Silver Empire is There are Fallen Druid activities, and you keep in touch with the Empire at all times."
Then she paused and turned her gaze to Gawain: "Duke Cecil—you said just now that this special communication line was established by human technology?"
"Strictly speaking, it is the technology of the Principality of Cecil," Gawain nodded. "Ansu's overall technology is seriously faulty, and the development situation varies greatly from place to place. The Principality of Cecil was rebuilt after my resurrection. We are trying to Taking a special technical route, I named it 'Magic', and the current communication system is one of its technological achievements. Ms. Sonia has been with me for a long time. He has his own, elf-perspective understanding.”
"Indeed, Your Majesty," Sonia said, with a hint of emotion in her expression, "We have seen a lot of unimaginable things since we came here. Magic technology is completely different from the old magic technology. ... idea, it is very practical, and it is very practical in many fields, and we are now using its power to build the first layer of the magic band of the 'sub-tower'..."
In front of Gawain, Sonia reported to Queen Belsetia the news and activities of the messenger team she belonged to in Ansu—of course, what she reported was very brief, all contents that could be made public. During the reporting process, Gao Wen took advantage of this time to organize his thoughts.
He finally succeeded in establishing a connection with the Silver Empire in the extreme southern part of the continent, and established a connection with this ancient civilization with countless treasures of knowledge, which contained meanings that he could not ignore.
I have to find a way to turn the silver empire into sociology+8.jpg (×)
You have to dump some ancestral technology from the treasury of the Silver Empire (√)
He pondered the possibility of establishing a deep communication with the Silver Empire, and pondered how to exchange the magical technology in the hands of this ancient civilization-although he had copied a lot of things from the Sentinel Tower, he knew that those scattered pieces What a gap there is between what is really complete and what is really complete.
Carmel sent him a message after studying the anti-gravity runes, clearly stating that there are incomplete, difficult to parse, encrypted parts of those rune arrays, although they still have great reference significance, But it's obviously not easy to translate that into usable technology. Carmel believes that it is not enough to simply copy some runes from the Sentinel Tower and analyze them. If you want to achieve technical results with the highest efficiency, it is best to reach an open and honest communication with the elves.
Gawain, who himself also hoped to establish a good relationship with the Silver Empire, agreed with this.
The conversation between Sonia and Bersetia ended, the latter's attention returned to Gawain, and the queen nodded lightly: "You are still leading your people forward just like seven hundred years ago. , opening up new lands."
"Survival is not easy, only development can survive on the edge of the wasteland," Gawain said calmly, considering his language, "In fact, I was about to take this opportunity to talk to you about Cecil's development - frankly. Let’s just say, since we have established this communication channel, the Principality of Cecil hopes to establish a closer…communication with the Silver Empire.”
"Communication?" Belsetia's eyebrows rose slightly, "Which aspect do you mean?"
Gawain looked at the other party's eyes, and he finally decided to cut to the chase: "Technology. We are very interested in the anti-gravity technology, rune stacking technology, shield technology and other fields of the Silver Empire. At the same time, Cecil's magic guide technology It should also have a certain reference value for the elves. The failure of the Sentinel Tower reminded us that the 'safety barrier' we built back then might not be safe enough, but everyone has stopped moving forward for too many years. In a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous, we must find a way to break this situation - development, and only development is the last word."
Belsetia didn't seem to expect Gawain to say this. She looked a little surprised, while Sonia next to her had a look she had expected: As early as when she was exploring the Sentinel Tower, she started from Gawain. Guessed this development from his attitude: this old friend who had returned from the dead was quite interested in the knowledge of elves.
The high-ranking messenger thought of a conversation she had had with her son not long ago, and recalled Soldering's words, she decided to wait and see for a while to see the Queen's attitude.
Belsetia didn't have a first statement, she thought for a while, and then said, "Duke Cecil, can we talk alone?"
Gao Wen readily agreed: "Of course."
The escorts around the two sides quickly left their rooms. Belsetia was the only one left in the domination hall, and Gawain was the only one left in the magic net communication room. The line used for the conversation between them was the encrypted line of the Elf Royal Court. In this connection that spanned the entire continent, the two had a private conversation.
Belsetia in the holographic projection was still sitting on the throne. She watched Gawain quietly for a while, and then suddenly exhaled: "We don't have to be so tense, right?"
Gawain was slightly stunned, but he adjusted in an instant: "You are the queen now - there is nothing you can do."
"I was also a queen back then, Uncle Gawain," Belsetia smiled faintly—in fact, she still maintained her dignified attitude as a silver queen, but her smile and tone were obviously much more approachable than before, "But you You're right, I'm the queen, so I still have to maintain my demeanor when it comes to formal occasions, but now it's a private occasion, so let's relax."
"I'm very happy," Gawain also laughed, "How about it, Belsetia—how does it feel to sit on the throne of dominion?"
"In fact, it's boring most of the time. This temple doesn't need very complicated controls to run automatically," the Silver Queen blinked. "What about you? Are you really...really back?"
"Yeah, I came back to this world, and I came back to face a mess," Gawain spread his hands and sighed slightly exaggeratedly, "I really want to talk to you about the experience of coming back from the dead, but let's talk about it first. Let’s get down to business. Technical exchange, I’m serious, this matter is beneficial to Cecil and the Silver Empire.”
"Uncle Gao Wen, I'm willing to trust you," Queen Silver's attitude became serious, "that's why I want to talk to you alone-I'm no longer the one who didn't know anything and could leave state affairs to the ruling group, The little girl who has acted recklessly, as the Queen of Silver, I must be responsible for my empire, so... whether it is technical exchange or something else, I have to think carefully before I can give an answer, I hope you can understand this.”
"Cerious thinking is necessary," Gawain nodded, and then a hint of curiosity suddenly appeared, "but you don't seem to have much doubts about the 'technical communication' I proposed? Aren't you curious, the magic of elves and humans Skills... have always been incompatible."
"But you found a way for humans to use some kind of device to unleash elven spells, didn't you?"
Gawain was really surprised this time: "How did you know?"
The communication between the north and south of the continent was cut off, and the Cecil-Silver Empire special line was just established today, so Sonia should not have had time to send this information back to her home country.
"I am not ignorant of what happened in the north of the continent, your resurrection, the fall and rebirth of Cecil's territory, the war in the southern border of Ansu, the civil war between the two princes of Ansu, the friction between Typhon and Ansu, Francis, Second world's death, and... magic technology," Belsetia showed a sly smile, "Yes, I don't know very well, relying on Sonya's description, I can more accurately understand what magic is. guide, but I at least know they exist. After all, I am the Queen of Silver."
Gawain suddenly woke up from the "Uncle Gawain" that the other party said one by one. He looked at Belsetia in the hologram, and re-examined this person who had a close relationship with "self" seven hundred years ago, but is now sitting The ruler of the empire on the throne of thrones.
"Since you know that our magic technology has realized the translation and control of elf runes, then you must understand the meaning of magic technology," Gawain said calmly, "it is a technology that can break the The technology of elf and human magical skills, and I believe it can also help you analyze those lost ancestral technologies from the side - a new perspective, and its significance in the field of technology must not be emphasized by me."
"Can it really have such an effect?"
"Of course, when did your Uncle Gao Wen lie to you?"
