Chapter 919
The god on the holy seat suddenly opened his eyes, with awe-inspiring aura in his golden vertical pupils.
Almost immediately, the dragon priests who were waiting near the Holy See crawl down to pay their respects to the gods they serve, and the leader of the dragon priests with the highest status and closest to the Holy See, Heragor, was no exception.
After a while, the dragon priests heard the voice of the gods coming from above, with a slight sigh: "Only He can do this..."
"My lord?" Heragor raised his head cautiously, looking at the dragon god above, "What happened?"
"You don't have to care," the Dragon God Enya glanced indifferently at the silent priests in the temple, her tone sounded unwavering, "It has nothing to do with dragons."
...
The howling came suddenly.
Accompanied by this unexplained scream, all the equipment in the hall showed obvious abnormalities. The magic net terminal began to project various strange lines and patterns that were incomprehensible to human beings, and the call signals from all over the empire were instantly crowded. It became a mess and became a mess, the energy supply system also went wrong, and the lighting began to flicker violently - all of this, like an invisible storm that suddenly swept the entire magic net, causing this huge system to roll up Stormy waves.
Unsurprisingly, the staff in the hall fell into a brief panic.
But the panic only lasted for less than two seconds - Gawain had already reacted after a moment of stunned, he stood up suddenly, the halo effect that could soothe the spirit followed, and the knight skills in the legendary domain covered the audience, forcing all People returned to their calmest state, and at the same time Rebecca's voice came from the front of the hall: "Keep calm - each system will start self-checking immediately!"
Immediately afterwards, Carmel's voice sounded not far away: "First confirm the situation of the power ridge of the building - is there a problem with the energy?"
The harsh whistling continued, and the technicians shielded this part of the disturbing factors under the protection of the knight's halo, and began to check all the systems nervously and quickly according to the plan and everyone's experience, and soon there was a report. One after another came from all over the hall: "The power ridge is still running, and the main systems are not offline..." "A few buffer units and safety barriers have been broken down, but the equipment at the rear is still in good condition." "Reconciliation is underway. Empire Hub to establish connections..."
The Empire Hub is the magic web hub tower located in Cecil City, and it is also the top node of all the "main hubs". When the whistle suddenly sounded, some kind of powerful energy surge affected its operation, and now it has been Temporarily offline.
"Is the internal channel still available?" Gawain left his seat, walked to Rebecca's side a few steps, and patted the latter's shoulder lightly, "Take a look at the situation outside."
Rebecca was obviously a little flustered, but after Gawain put his hand on her shoulder, she suddenly calmed down.
"The internal channel and the mainnet are isolated, let me take a look..." She said quickly, and at the same time controlled the "color palette" of runes in front of her very skillfully. After a while, she exhaled, "I can Uh, I've adjusted the screen over—"
In the next second, a picture captured by a surveillance device on the surface was projected over the crystal array at the front of the hall. In the holographic projection with several clutter, a huge white tower was standing in the magic. On the high ground near the Noh Research Institute, the tower itself did not seem to have suffered any damage, but the mechanical device and crystal array on the top of the tower had stopped working.
And those crystals that were supposed to be charged and sparkled were obviously dimmed at the moment.
Gawain frowned and watched all this, but soon, he saw that the dimmed crystals became brighter again.
The power ridge in the tower was successfully restarted, and the surging energy was injected into each unit again. The large-scale crystal array was revived in a few seconds, and the emergency self-locking mechanism was also unlocked by itself. , they began to slowly rotate and recalibrate themselves, and a technician in the hall shouted: "Reconnect to the Imperial Hub!"
Gawain was slightly relieved, but his expression was still tense, and Rebecca immediately asked loudly, "How is the situation at the main hubs in various places?"
"I can't get in touch for now... All channels are down, but if we can restart here, they should be able to... We are trying to make a single-line call..."
"Keep the call, in any case, contact the main hubs everywhere to confirm their safety," Rebecca spoke quickly, "Master Carmel, please contact the computing center to confirm the situation on the neural network side; Cohen, take your group to the third underground floor, the bottom energy group needs help; Marin, open the public window of the Empire Hub, other main hubs may call us through that window..."
She has completely calmed down and has started to methodically assign tasks and stabilize the situation.
Gawain looked at this Rebecca, who was completely different from usual, with some surprises. After a long time, he sighed in his heart with some relief—his "iron mental halo" was really effective.
...
The chaotic whistling phenomenon does not only occur in the control center of Cecil City, it occurs in every main hub and the daemon terminal connected to the main hub.
In that instant, and in the minutes after it, the same thing happened to every main hub of the magic web in the empire. A terrible howl suddenly came, and a powerful surge of energy destroyed the connection that had just been established. The equipment was shut down in a large area, and the control center was in chaos. An invisible storm was raging in the magic net that covered the entire empire. From Shilin City to Changfeng Fortress, from Saint Sunil to Winter Castle, the leaders of all areas were in a hurry.
A cold will suddenly descended, "frozen" the minds of everyone in the hall like a sudden freezing of frost, and then the cold will gradually faded away, and the technicians quickly calmed down - the one who reacted first looked first. Towards the high platform not far away, Justice Victoria Wilder stood there quietly, surrounded by crystal clear ice crystals, her frosty face was expressionless.
"Keep calm and start troubleshooting," Victoria's cold voice sounded, spreading throughout the hall, "Confirm the energy situation first, and then try to restart our hub tower."
"My lord," Victor, the advisor to the High Mage, flew directly to the platform Victoria was on, "Our communication with the Imperial City has been cut off—communication with the main hubs in all other regions has been cut off."
"The power outage just now has affected all systems, and the communication outage is normal," Victoria said with a blank expression. "First try to call the nearest Saint Sunil to us to confirm whether similar situations have occurred in other areas."
"Yes, my lord." Victor bowed his head and stepped back.
After the old mage left, Victoria looked around the hall calmly.
Under the influence of the "cold mind", the panicked technicians have all calmed down. Although the situation is still unclear, everyone has returned to work and began to troubleshoot the troubles and find the cause of the anomaly. reason.
Perhaps in the future, a set of magic equipment with "cold mind" or similar magical effects should be installed in all important departments, just like a fire-fighting water tank as an "emergency disaster prevention device", once it happens, it will cause chaos in the whole department. If the incident happened, you can directly activate the magic device to force the staff to calm down. Even if it can only last for half an hour, it will be enough to save a lot of situations... This is a feasible idea, which can be discussed with Your Majesty later.
Something unrelated to the current situation appeared in Victoria's mind for a while, but she immediately restrained her thoughts and focused her attention on the current situation.
This sudden abnormal situation... What is going on?
The Grand Duke of Ice and Snow is very knowledgeable in the field of traditional magic, but in the field of modern magic, she is deeply lacking in knowledge. She shook her head in confusion and whispered to herself, "Goddess of magic... Where did it come from? There is a problem..."
After praying, there was no response, and Mirmina, the goddess of magic, did not respond.
No, not only there was no response, but even the vague sense of prying eyes that should appear after praying to God under normal circumstances and the "transcendence" of establishing a connection with supernatural beings did not appear. Victoria felt that there was nothing but nothingness at the end of her prayer. In the keen spiritual perception of the legendary powerhouse, she even felt as if she was facing some kind of "emptiness".
There was supposed to be a god there, but there isn't any more—the Duchess's eyes widened instantly upon realizing it.
...
The neural network built on the magic net has also set off a "wind", and this wind is completely substantive to the world in the network.
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, countless gray and white chaotic lines entangled and fluttered in the air, mixed with the whistling wind blowing through the whole world, and between the wind, the originally clear and bright sky became flickering and darkening. , large and small cracks and some kind of shimmering chaos light and shadow continued to breed from every corner of the sky, but they were quickly repaired by another force. The only "city" in the world at present is protected in a layer of translucent silver-white "light cocoon", which blocks the harsh "weather" outside, and the interior of the city remains stable.
In a large pyramid-shaped building in the center of the city, Yuri was nervously watching the undulating runes and data in front of him, his voice hurried: "There is a huge abnormal data flow 'flowing' through our network, very huge! "
"Can you capture it?" Wendy asked aside.
"I can't do anything here, it's so weird that it's impossible to start, and it's still moving very fast along the 'unconscious zone' at the most border of the network..." Yuri was confused, "What the hell is this... "
"No matter what it is, it's obviously here to destroy it!" Magnum's loud voice burst suddenly, "If I need to, I can go to the border of the unconscious zone and put a few psychic storms to try..."
"Shut up, be quiet, I'm afraid your psychic storm will have no effect on this weird data!" Yuri immediately glared at Magnum, followed by a more confused expression on his face, "Wait a minute, this weird alien The person... is moving away? It is fading from the border, and the speed is getting faster..."
"What do you mean?!" Magnum stared, "Don't tell me it's just a passerby!"
"I don't know if this thing is 'passing' or not, but it's about to disappear from our sight," Yuri said quickly, "Semler, can contact Naritel and Duvall outside the city. What's the matter? Let's see what they can do."
"I'll try - the load is lighter now and it should be fine."
In the hills outside the city, the huge white spider was still quietly crawling on the top of the mountain. The strong wind in the online world could not shake her body at all. Instead, the chaotic data and information quickly calmed down beside her.
The safety of the city has been guaranteed, and the overall load on the network is improving. This sudden storm seems to be over, but Naritel has not relaxed at all. The invisible thread is spreading from the nothingness beside her. , like a huge web covering the sky, the earth, the water, and every mind behind it, everything in the neural network gradually became the end of her spider silk, and her perception spread like never before——
At this point, the "neural network" is perfect, it starts to reorganize itself the way it was designed to, and it behaves as its name suggests.
Duvalt stood on the high ground near the hill, watching Naritel's work from a distance, he could see the way the threads spread, and at the same time he was using his own power to help Naritel further Expand your perception and search for the "outsider" who is trying to cause destruction.
At a certain moment later, a certain "spider silk" on this giant web was suddenly moved abnormally.
It might just be an accidental touch, or it might be a test of excess curiosity, or a daring provocation, no matter what the reason behind it, the spider silk...was moved.
The web-weaving spider disappeared on the hill in an instant—she had followed the plucked spider silk, and in this world built by the mind, her speed surpassed the fastest and fastest speed of human beings. A brief thought.
Duvalt only heard a sentence left by the other party: "I'm going to hunt! You stay here to watch!"
The old man standing on the high ground and wearing a black dress was startled for a moment, then shook his head with a helpless smile, and said to himself: "...after splitting into two individuals, I feel more and more like a nanny... …”
At this moment, some jumping golden runes appeared out of thin air in the air beside the old man, and the runes trembled and said, "Duwart, this is Semler - how is your situation?"
"Naritier seems to have found the intruder's trail, she has gone to prey," Duvalt said casually, "I am gradually stabilizing the situation here - but before there is definite news from Naritiel. , I don't recommend turning off the city shield."
"Okay, we get it."
