For a long time, Gawain felt that it was difficult for him to see the ruler of the Typhon Empire - but at least at this moment, he was looking at Rosetta Augustus's eyes staring at the wasteland, and suddenly there was a A hint of familiarity.
After a brief confusion, he realized that the familiarity came from Gawain Cecil's memory, but he couldn't tell where it came from or who it corresponded to.
The monsters rushing from the plain were almost wiped out, and thick black and red smoke was rising from their mutilated wreckage. There were only the last few wobbly aberrations with incomplete limbs between the smoke. The body was still struggling, and was completely torn apart by crossbow bolts, fireballs or lightning from the city walls.
Rosetta watched all of this silently, and suddenly broke the silence softly: "I've been thinking about how they were created, how they were maintained, and how they acted..."
"The birth of the aberrations is a mystery, but multiple evidence points to them as mutated Gondor victims," Gawain said, "As for their maintenance and operations... I can only say, and the Chaos Demons in the wasteland. energy environment.”
Rosetta's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was low: "Your statement is consistent with what is recorded in the ancient books. I have checked all the information related to aberrations, and they all said that, but... isn't this ironic? "
Gawain didn't understand why the other party said that, but he thought that the other party would explain it himself soon.
Sure enough, Rosetta continued after a brief silence: "The first generation of pioneers summed up these experiences and conjectures 700 years ago. Now that 700 years have passed, we still know only this— I don't know more than you at all about aberrations."
Gawain understood what Rosetta meant, and for a while he didn't know what to say.
"This is outside the Great Wall," Rosetta added, raising his hand to point to the plain between the Great Wall and the base of the pinnacle, "Theoretically, it is impossible for monsters trapped in the Gondor Wastes ran out, but in fact, there are always monsters wandering in this plain, sometimes just ordinary corrupt monsters, sometimes it is aberrations. I once sent knights to find out where those monsters came from , but the knights saw the sight of those monsters condensing in the air... They appeared out of nowhere, what an unreasonable phenomenon."
Gao Wen nodded: "Monsters will appear in a high-concentration chaotic magical energy environment. This is a major feature of the wasteland, but the specific principle is still unknown."
"Yes, unknown, and there are still many unknown things, such as why these monsters that appear out of thin air have not covered the whole world yet-since they can't be killed no matter how much they kill,
So what is limiting their upper limit? Why are they mostly just wandering around the wasteland? What is constraining their range of activity? What is the difference between the aberrations that appear outside the Great Wall and those inside the wasteland? "
The Typhon ruler threw a lot of questions in a row, but obviously did not expect an answer. After he finished speaking, he just closed his mouth, as if he had been immersed in his own questions and thoughts.
Gawain glanced at the plain to the southwest, and saw that the last monster had begun to gradually turn into black and red smoke, he suddenly moved in his heart and asked aloud: "Have you encountered a particularly huge aberration during this time? "
Rosetta Augustus woke up from his thoughts, with a slightly confused tone: "Especially huge?"
"Yes, it is equivalent to two to three times the height of ordinary aberrations. It is particularly burly. There is a magical structure on the surface of the body that can release powerful spell attacks, and it seems to have the ability to strengthen surrounding aberrations. The most important point - those extraordinarily large Huge individuals seem to have some ability to think."
"Thinking ability?" There was a hint of surprise in Rosetta's tone, but he soon shook his head, "No, we've never seen an individual like that, but if they really exist and appear...then definitely A huge threat. Are you sure they exist? Have you encountered them?"
"They attacked Cecil's homeland - I suspect they came out when there was a breach in the Great Wall."
What Gawain was referring to was the giant aberration that appeared once during the second Cecil defense, also known as the "giant body". Although those mutant monsters were eventually captured by the defending soldiers and Rebecca's The fireballs were wiped out, but their terrifying power and vaguely intelligent features still impressed Gawain.
He originally thought that when he came to the border of the wasteland, he would have the opportunity to see that kind of monster again, but in fact he never saw it once.
Ordinary aberrations in this area are frequently attacked, but the "giant body" has never appeared again.
Rosetta Augustus had never seen such a huge guy, and at this point, Gawain thought that the other party didn't need to lie to him.
This made Gawain vaguely speculate a little—could it be that that extraordinarily huge aberration is unique to the wasteland?
Regardless of whether Cecil Camp or Typhon Camp, all I have dealt with in this period of time are the wandering monsters outside the magnificent wall. "Outside the Wall" is naturally generated, and the aberrations that attacked Cecil's territory at the beginning are very likely to wander out of the wasteland when there is a loophole in the magnificent wall, and it is a product of the depths of the wasteland!
He thought of the last of Rosetta's series of questions: what was the difference between the aberrations that appeared outside the Great Wall and those inside the wasteland.
Is this the difference? Monsters inside the wasteland will "evolve", but not outside?
Gawain frowned, subconsciously looking at the magnificent energy barrier connecting the heaven and earth in the distance, and a second question popped up in his heart:
Even if those giant aberrations are unique products inside the wasteland... Why have the sentries stationed at the edge of the barrier never even seen them for so long?
The aberrations inside the wasteland will wander aimlessly, and naturally they will inevitably wander near the barrier. Almost every day, the sentries of the peak base will witness large groups of aberrations wandering to the foot of the barrier, and then the energy agitated by the barrier evaporates instantly. , but after such a long time, the sighting report of the giant body has never appeared...
Is it because giant bodies are extremely rare? Or is it because... something is controlling those giants, preventing them from wandering to the edge of the barrier and preventing them from being seen by the sentries outside the barrier?
Following this line of thinking, Gawain couldn't help but think whether the giants that attacked Cecil's territory before were an accident, or was it... intentional?
When thinking about this layer, a name naturally appeared in his mind, the only name so far that can be associated with the magnificent wall and the wasteland of Gondor, and it is also full of conspiracy:
All things will be blamed.
...
In the end, Gawain didn't get any answers in the Typhon camp.
He embarks on a journey back to the Cecil Pinnacle base.
The barren and corrupt wilderness kept retreating outside the car window. The endless wind on the wasteland swirled dust around the convoy. The side of the "Steel Ambassador" multi-purpose chariot in front of the convoy flashed, and the scorching rays pierced through it. A mutant monster trying to get close, Gawain sat quietly in the magic car in the center of the convoy, thinking for a long time.
Amber took his eyes back from the desolate wasteland and glanced at Gawain curiously: "What have you been thinking about all the way?"
Gawain let out a slight sigh and put down his many thoughts for a while, then he glanced at the half-elf lady with bright eyes, and said casually under the gaze of the other party's gossip: "What kind of person do you think Rosetta is? ?"
Amber said without thinking: "An old fox like you - I mean the kind of scheming person."
Gawain glanced at the shame of the elf who quickly changed his mind at the last moment, and shook his head slightly: "I can't determine how deep the connection between Rosetta Augustus and the Society for the End of All Things is, only from the details observed so far. Judging, the two of them may just cooperate with interests. Of course, it is also possible that Rosetta Augustus's acting skills are too tight."
"When you mention Bertila Augustus, he acts as if he doesn't even know that the other party is a high-ranking priest who is dying," Amber blinked, "If he really doesn't know, then he The cooperation with the Society for the End of All Things may be really shallow, and Bertila Augustus has really completely separated from the former Typhon royal family. If he pretends not to know, then the fun will be great... That means that mentioning The Feng royal family and all things will definitely be together."
Gawain is noncommittal about this, but in fact, intuitively, he has begun to think that the connection between the Typhon royal family and the Society for the End of All Things is only for profit, at least Rosetta Augustus himself, but he I also know that you can't rely on "gut feeling" to judge this kind of thing.
The inside of the car was quiet again for a while, except for the humming of machinery and the occasional sound of weapon firing when the escort chariot eliminated the monsters that suddenly appeared in the wasteland, which would break the silence.
After a period of silence, Gawain broke the silence with a sigh: "I don't know why, I always feel that Rosetta Augustus is a bit like me..."
After saying these words, there was no response. Gawain couldn't help but look curiously at the half-elf beside him, but saw the elf's shame was staring at him in astonishment. Ya - what did you do back then?!"
Gao Wen: "..."
At this moment, he suddenly had an almost uncontrollable idea: tie this elf shame to a pole, poke it on the roof of the car, hang it all the way, and hang her to the camp ! !
It's hard to get away from the iron-headed Rebecca, how come Amber's head is also iron! !
...
At the base of Typhon's Peak, next to Rosetta Augustus's palace, a steel-made, tough-line magical mechanical creation was quietly parked in the square.
A dozen heavily armed Typhon soldiers guard the place.
Rosetta and Andersa Wendell stood beside the "Magic Car", observing the complex machinery in front of them with a hint of curiosity.
It was a gift from the Cecil, left here as a souvenir of a "trade contract".
"An incredible marvel of engineering and magic...isn't it?"
Rosetta sighed softly.
Andersa frowned slightly: "But I still have doubts about this thing."
"You can have doubts about the behavior of the Ansu people, but you must be in awe of advanced technology," Rosetta glanced at the young Wolf General and reminded lightly, "The advancement of technology will bring about great development. The social output will increase, the people will be prosperous, the army will be strong, the country will prosper, and every advance of Typhon over the years has been built on these foundations.”
Andersa lowered her head: "Yes... Your Majesty."
Rosetta nodded lightly, returned her eyes to the magic car, and sighed in a low voice: "I just didn't expect... I didn't expect Ansu, who was already behind, to suddenly walk in front of us. Sisi The people of Seoul found a way that no one had thought of before, and if we had found it later, we would have even been left behind by a principality."
"You seem to attach great importance to the Principality of Cecil?"
Rosetta didn't answer Andersa's question, but suddenly asked after a few seconds of silence, "What kind of person do you think Gawain Cecil is?"
Andersa frankly expressed her feelings: "...he looks very generous and upright, but there is a hidden side that people can't see through. I have heard many stories about the first generation of pioneers, including his , but those stories describe him only as a symbolic hero, never mentioning that he will fight people at the negotiating table.”
Rosetta glanced at the "General Wolf" inadvertently.
Considering the wolf general's hostile attitude towards the Ansu people, the above is obviously a high evaluation.
He showed a slightly stiff smile and said in a low voice, "That pioneer... will sooner or later be the enemy of Typhon.
"Because he's like me."
