Chapter 787 The Evidence Beside Patty

Patty seemed very happy about the arrival of "Uncle Gawain".

It had been a long time since she had seen Uncle Gawain, and hadn't heard Uncle Gawain tell her stories about the pioneering period, the Gondor period, and all kinds of other fantastic ideas.

Even though she is almost fifteen years old this year, even among ordinary aristocratic children, children of her age have even begun to officially appear in social situations and begin to learn to handle family affairs, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is still a child, even with her appearance. She is younger than her peers, and in terms of knowledge, she is far behind many noble children of the same age.

After years of serious injury, she missed almost her entire childhood, and Patty didn't resume her intellectual studies until this year, and many of the questions she asked were inappropriate for Gawain's age.

But on the other hand, the special experience has made Patty more mature in mind than her peers, perhaps because she has lost the ability to move freely, and her survival is completely dependent on the care of others. She is always keenly aware of the emotional changes of the people around her.

"Uncle Gao Wen, are you a little unhappy?" She noticed a slight emotional change in Gao Wenyan's conversation, and suddenly stopped her rambling questions and asked carefully.

Gawain was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the little girl in front of him.

The other party has been able to sit in a wheelchair very well, and his neck can also be lifted up by his own strength. Those big eyes are looking at this side without blinking, and their eyes are full of curiosity and a little worry.

"No, I'm not unhappy," Gawain shook his head with a smile after a while, "It's just that he suddenly remembered something else and lost his mind."

"It's not good to be distracted," Patty said seriously, "but you are an adult, and adults usually have a lot of things to think about, right?"

"There are quite a few things I usually do, but it's okay to take the time to tell you a story." Gao Wen said with a smile, but at the same time he had already focused some of his attention and quietly enabled the secret that can be connected to the spiritual network. Port - After being familiar with it for so long, he has long been able to take and release the power from the eternal sleeper. Even if he does not completely immerse his consciousness into the network, he can use his special authority to call network resources and perform some secret operations. .

After connecting his shallow consciousness to the network, he looked at Patty again.

Patty is still Patty, her face has not changed to Selena Griffin's appearance, and there are no additional figures beside her.

But Gawain was already able to determine that,

Selena is literally "here", tied to Patty in some bizarre state.

Because next to Patty's small wheelchair, in the mid-air invisible to the naked eye, a lantern is hanging quietly.

...

Patty needs to get enough sleep every day to repair her depleted spirit and make the effect of "Limb Regeneration" further play out. Before meeting Gawain, she had watched the ghost drama for more than two hours, and then listened to it again. Gawain told many stories, and soon it was time to take a lunch break.

Gawain watched the maid bring Patty to the next room, and gently placed the little girl in a special immersion cabin. After confirming that Patty had fallen asleep, he left the room and came to the castle. In the reception room, I saw Countess Ropeni who was waiting here.

The Countess got up from the high-back chair and bowed to Gawain: "Your Majesty, thank you for taking care of Patty, she will be very happy today."

"Her health is much better, so I'm relieved," Gawain nodded, and came to sit on a chair near the window as he spoke, "I saw that Patty was already sleeping in the immersion cabin— Has she been using the immersion chamber all this time?"

"Yes," Lady Ropeni nodded, "it's been almost a month."

"Is there any adverse reaction? Is she used to it?"

These questions sounded like normal concerns, and the Countess didn't think anything was wrong: "No, the immersion cabin is very useful, and the technicians you sent are also very conscientious. They stayed here for four days and confirmed that Patty She left without any abnormality during use, and before leaving, she handed over the technical information of the immersion cabin to the local magician. As for Patty... She was not used to it at first, but it was only because she was not used to sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. Now she's quite used to it."

Have you been using an immersion chamber...

Gawain touched his chin and asked again, "Where is the crown of the Eternal Sleeper before, where is it now?"

"I put it in the basement of the castle, with some extraordinary collectibles," replied the Countess, "because I don't plan to use it again in the future, I'm considering whether to seal it up by some means— After all, it has something to do with the Eternal Sleeper."

Caution has become a habit for this woman.

But this level of caution seems to be far from enough when dealing with the Eternalsleep.

"You don't have to think about the seal anymore, I'm going to take that crown," Gawain said, "for... research."

Countess Ropeni's eyes changed slightly, although Gawain's tone and demeanor did not show any abnormality, but the mother's intuition suddenly jumped, she stared at Gawain's eyes: "Your Majesty... Isn't there something wrong with the crown? Patty she..."

"Don't be too nervous," Gawain waved his hand immediately, "It's just technical research. As for Patty, she's doing fine."

Only then did Luo Penny breathe a sigh of relief: "That's okay. Sorry, I'm always too nervous about Patty..."

The Countess has left. As Glenn's consul, she still has a lot of official business to deal with. Gawain also returned to the room specially prepared for him. He closed the door and saw a dwarf winter melon poking out of the shadows near the curtains.

After confirming that there were no outsiders, Amber jumped out of the shadow world with confidence and smiled at Gawain: "According to the information, that Lady Ropeni is a person who can't easily trust others, but she trusts you very much. —You said Patty was fine, and she was really relieved to go to work."

"I just don't want her to take unnecessary pressure, after all, things haven't been figured out yet," Gawain said casually, "and we also have to avoid making a fool of yourself."

"Fighting the grass to startle the snake? This is an interesting word, I wrote it down," Amber's eyes lit up, and she recorded the new word with ease, and added it to the "Sacred Words of Emperor Gawain Cecil" that she had collected in private. After adding a stroke, he glanced at Gawain curiously, "Again, does Patty really have a problem?"

Gao Wen pondered for a while and said in a low voice, "Under the vision of the mind, there is a lantern beside her."

"...Mom."

"But it's still better than I expected," Gawain continued. "Selena Gerfen hasn't encroached on Patty's soul, and there's no sign of the latter being damaged. Maybe they're coexisting peacefully, or even Patty doesn't even know what's wrong with her..."

Amber stared: "I'm so optimistic after seeing the lantern, so what was the 'bad situation' you expected before?"

"Worst case scenario... Patty is Selena Griffin," Gawain glanced at Amber, "Even before we knew Patty, when Patty touched the crown, she was dead Well, for the next few years, Selena was in that body."

Amber imagined the scene, and suddenly shivered: "...Mom!"

Gawain successfully frightened this daring half-elf, and his mood became slightly happy: "It's really scary, isn't it? When it comes to the horror of the soul, the Eternal Sleeper is obviously better than the End of Everything..."

"It's not because of this," Amber waved his hand, "I just think that a woman in her 700s pretends to be a little girl in her teens and calls you Uncle Gao Wen when she meets her, and even calls a young woman in her twenties. Mom has been screaming for years, it's really terrifying, it's worthy of being an eternal sleeper..."

Gao Wen: "..."

After realizing that continuing to discuss the shame of this elf is self-defeating, he decisively cut off the topic and returned to the right track: "It is still uncertain about the connection between Patty and Selena, in order to avoid scare the snake, and to control the eternal sleep. We can't take any overt action on Gulen's side - we can only maintain the outermost surveillance."

Amber patted his chest: "I understand, I'm good at this."

Then she noticed that there was still a thoughtful look on Gao Wen's face, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What else is going on?"

"I'm thinking... how much of our stuff has been exposed to Selena Geer's eyes, and what's the reason for her silence so far," Gawain sighed softly and shook his head helplessly, "Papa Ti now uses the immersion chamber produced by Cecil to fall asleep, and our magic network communication technology is not a secret, it has already been promoted in the Gren area, and a senior sleeper can easily get from magic. The shadow of the psychic network technology can be seen in the online communication... If Selena Gerfen is really hidden in the depths of Patty's consciousness, then she can see all this through the eyes of the 'host'... Even if these evidences It's not enough to directly prove that 'extraterritorial rogues' can invade the psychic network, and it should be enough to arouse the vigilance and attention of the Eternal Sleepers... But Selena Gerfen didn't do anything, and many of the plans that Daniel and I made have also arrived. It's useless now."

"Hi... The more eerily silent people are, the more vigilant they are," Amber bared his teeth. "There are countermeasures and remedies for any damage. What I'm afraid of is not saying anything."

Then she paused and shook her head again: "But then again, as long as we develop the magic net communication technology, it is impossible for the Eternal Sleeper to not notice, and things will always surface when they develop to a certain extent. It is inevitable after the scale is expanded. In this kind of confrontation, 'we hide everything, they can't see anything' can only be regarded as a low-level stage, and 'we have disclosed everything, but they can't do anything about it' is a high-level stage Phase - Now, it's time to prepare for the end of Phase One."

Gawain stared at Amber, who was chatting eloquently, until he made the other person look awkward and twisted his neck: "Hey, what are you looking at me for?"

"It's nothing, I just think what you said is quite reasonable," Gao Wen smiled and said casually, "Indeed, our own spiritual network technology is gradually maturing, and the eternal sleeper... will definitely notice it. And If I recall carefully, when I first contacted Patty, I considered that Selena would often be with each other in the city of dreams, so I didn’t reveal any information related to the 'extraterritorial wanderer' in front of Patty. Lina Gerfen could at best see our technological developments in Leyline communications through Patty's eyes.

"I'm curious about one thing now, when Patty is using the immersion pod, she simply uses it to fall asleep, she is no longer connected to the eternal sleeper's psychic network, this is to prevent exposing our 'network intrusion' behavior, and since Patty is no longer in the psychic network, so Selena, who is hidden 'beside' Patty...how does she stay connected to the psychic network?"

Amber scratched her hair.

She also couldn't understand the question raised by Gao Wen.

...

At the foot of the snow-capped Eastern Mountains, the shimmering breeze shield isolates the wind and snow from the wilderness, and the charged rails covered by the shield extend on the ground, gradually disappearing into the depths of the distant wind and snow.

The wheels rolled, the mechanical device played a steel melody, and a magic energy train with the emblem of the Cecil Empire roared past on the charged rails wrapped by the shield, galloping across the ground like a steel python.

An unknown mountain retreated on the side of the train, and the grass and railings near the rails were connected into a blurred patch due to the rapid retreat.

It is a cold winter outside, but the inside of the train is warm and comfortable. It is really a wonderful experience to travel across the wilderness in the belly of a steel behemoth.

Matilda Augustus sat upright on the spacious and comfortable train seat, looking at the exotic scenery outside through the crystal glass inlaid on the side wall of the carriage beside her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

unfamiliar country...
