Chapter 934 The Signal that Appears Again

"You have already agreed to Tallond's invitation?!"

In Gawain's study, Heidi, who had just learned of this situation, widened her eyes and looked at the smiling ancestor in front of her with a look of astonishment.

"That's right," Gawain knew that Heidi would react this way, he nodded with a smile, "Of course not to set off now—at least after the incident with the Goddess of Magic has completely subsided and domestic affairs have been properly arranged. "

The shocked expression on Hetty's face still did not completely fade away, but she looked at the smile of the ancestor and listened to his indifferent response, and already realized that this was not the other party's whim. The ancestor may have made a decision after careful consideration, but This decision... a bit beyond expectations, it's too overwhelming.

"Having said that, it seems that I really should discuss it with you guys," Gawain looked at Hetty, patted his forehead lightly, and said apologetically, "This is no longer my business, and my decision is a bit hasty. ."

"No, that's not what I meant," Hetty shook her head hastily, "I'm just too surprised. Since you've made such a decision, you must have your own reasons."

"There are many reasons. The Dragon Race is a powerful and mysterious force. For the mortal kingdom, it is rare to have contact with such a force; Tallond has too many mysterious and unknown things, and I speculate that their civilization level is very likely. Far more than the Loren continent, this needs to be observed and understood; the Dragon Race is a civilization that has experienced many times of magic and still exists, and this information is very valuable to us," Gao Wen said in a clear manner, and finally shook his head. , "But for me personally, none of these reasons are the most important, the main thing is...they have a god who came to earth, and this god seems to have something to say to me."

"You mean that 'Dragon God'..." Heidi frowned slightly, "You mentioned this to us. So do you think this god is friendly?"

"Not sure, but at least it is certain that He communicates with rational intelligence," Gawain said. "So far, we have not had any direct contact with any 'normal' gods that communicate with rational intelligence. Those are either false gods created by cultists. Either it is a special 'new god' like Naritel who is very different from the gods in the world, or it is the 'old god' who has left the god position and has lost most of his divinity like Amorn... Of course they also have Great reference and communication value, but the communication value of the Dragon God is obviously more special and irreplaceable."

Hetty nodded lightly, obviously she had to admit Gawain's opinion in this regard, but the worry between her brows still didn't fade away: "...you are right, but this is still very risky, Especially now...you will face too many unpredictable variables when you go to Tal Lond in person, we are not sure what the purpose of that 'Dragon God' is, but the danger is real."

Saying that, she couldn't help shaking her head: "It would be nice if we could communicate with Tallond at the ambassador level first according to the normal diplomatic process..."

"Unfortunately, this is not a normal 'diplomatic behavior',

"Gao Wen said, "From the perspective of the other party, this is just an invitation for me personally, and it is our unilateral desire to get more benefits from this invitation. Don't think about the exchange of ambassadors, at least don't count on it now - it means nothing to the 'god', and he is not interested. "

Then he looked at Hetty who seemed to be in tangled thinking (the Cecil chief butler always seemed to get into tangled worries for various reasons), smiled and comforted: "I I have considered all kinds of unexpected situations - including the maliciousness of Tal Lund and the possibility that the Dragon God has set a trap. I agreed to this invitation with great certainty and weighing the pros and cons."

"Are you sure?" Heidi said subconsciously. She looked at the family ancestor who seemed to always have a plan and a reliable feeling in front of her. For a while, she wanted to ask him, as a mortal, how he was sure to approach him. The distance confronted a god whose attitude was unclear, but she swallowed the words again.

She suddenly thought of the various "different things" that her ancestor showed after he was resurrected from the dead, and thought of the opponent's strong resistance and even suppression when facing the knowledge of the gods and even the remains of the gods. , thinking of his forward-looking plans and incredible knowledge... The ancestors had explained that some of that knowledge came from the time of Gondor, and some of it came from historical fragments he saw when he was in the state of the soul, but she searched the ancient books and could not find it. There is even the slightest clue in the history of mankind that corresponds to that knowledge.

"I see," she lowered her head, "I will arrange everything as soon as possible, and in the days when you are temporarily away, this place will still operate in an orderly manner."

The ancestor who came back from the dead may not be just a "human". She has vaguely noticed this from a long time ago, but no matter how many secrets the other party has, the past few years have proved at least one point: Gawain Cecil is truly a mountain to rely on and trust for this land and its people.

For Heidi herself, she only knew this ancestor who was resurrected seven hundred years later—that was enough.

"I won't be away for too long, this will be a short 'visit'," Gawain nodded, he couldn't see Hetty's expression after bowing his head, but years of getting along had made him in this situation When Xia noticed the ups and downs of the other party's mood, he couldn't help showing a smile and said softly, "Don't worry, I will come back safely - and as soon as possible."

Then he waved his hand, skipped the topic for the time being, and asked casually, "Let's not talk about this for now. You came so early, do you have anything to report?"

"Yes," Thinking of the original purpose of coming here early this morning, Hetty quickly sorted out her thoughts, "I brought the latest monitoring report from the main hub of Thorin... the mysterious signal that appeared before, Reappeared this morning!"

Gawain was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what the "mysterious signal" mentioned by Hetty was, and was immediately taken aback: "It appears again!?"

"Yes...and very similar to the previous one, it played continuously for several cycles, interspersed with short high frequency oscillations and repetitive waveforms, and then mysteriously disappeared as if they suddenly appeared - we Still failed to capture the source and no progress in cracking.”

Gao Wen frowned and said in a deep voice, "So... this signal has nothing to do with the goddess of magic..."

What they were discussing was the mysterious signal that had been received by both the Thorin main hub and the northern winter hub. , it will mysteriously disappear after a period of noise and ripples. This signal makes all technicians bewildered. In order to investigate its details, Gawain even specifically contacted the three parties of the dragon, the siren and the elves. Can figure out its source.

This mysterious signal stirred the nerves of many people.

And in the aftermath of the Goddess of Magic's invasion and escaping through the Weave, many of the Empire's technicians—even Gawain himself—subconsciously linked the two things together.

Gawain once suspected that the Goddess of Magic was the source of the mysterious signals received by Solimburg and Fort Winter, and even suspected that those strange signals were the phenomenon caused by the Goddess of Magic testing the magic net before executing the escape plan - although there was not enough However, this kind of speculation is very reasonable, so many people think so.

But now... the goddess of magic has been confirmed to have completely escaped and left the human world, and the traces she left in the magic net have also been completely removed by Naritel and Duvalt, and the strange mysterious signal has appeared again! !

"Is only the main hub of Sorin listening?" Gawain frowned, "Are there any similar reports from the other hubs?"

"Not yet, that signal is not stable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, it seems that it will only appear and be caught by our magic weave crystal in relatively accidental circumstances," Heidi shook his head, "but several other main hubs Currently checking all listening records from midnight to early morning yesterday for any missing clues - if the signal they receive is too weak and short, it is likely to be ignored by the on-duty staff at that time, but the buffer There may be some traces left in the crystal array."

"Well..." Gawain nodded slowly, "Let them check carefully, this signal... I am very concerned about it, it is very unusual. The goddess of magic has already made trouble in our magic net once, and now This signal appears again, I am afraid that the guy who wants to make trouble is not only the goddess of magic."

Heidi bowed his head and bowed to command: "Yes, ancestor."

Hetty left, and Gawain was lost in thought behind the desk, then he looked up to his side, and saw an amber slowly precipitating out of the air beside him.

The half-elf lady blinked her eyes with a look of surprise and confusion on her face: "I thought the signal after the goddess of magic ran away was over..."

"I thought so too - all of us thought that the signals received by Solimburg and Winterfell were made by the goddess of magic," Gawain frowned, "but now it seems that it is very likely that the two an unrelated incident..."

"It would be great if Naritel succeeded in keeping the goddess of magic," Amber said subconsciously, "This way we can confirm with the other party directly, even if the signal was not made by her, maybe she would know something— After all, he is a god, and he should know more than mortals."

Hearing Amber's muttering voice, Gawain just shook his head and said nothing.

...

Two days later.

The cold wind in late autumn blows across the vast plains of the Holy Spirit. Looking up at the sky from the Sorin area, only the sky is high and the clouds are thin, and the vision is clear and wide.

The season of frequent precipitation and even snow is just around the corner, so sunny days like this will probably become fewer and fewer in the coming months.

In the autumn wind blowing, there was a clattering sound in the huge canopy of the Thorin Giant Tree, and countless branches made a sound in the depths of the canopy. It seemed that some structures inside were moving and reorganizing, and there was a continuous The sound of rubbing and rolling came, as if something was passing through the depths of the canopy, leaving noises along the way.

The top of the Thorin giant tree, the uppermost part of the canopy, the extremely dense wooden structure and the heterogeneous leaves overlap to form a steel-like plane, which is comparable to the "green ground" of a city square. man-made facilities - there are fences to prevent people from falling, street lamps for lighting, and small weather observation and collection devices, and the largest of them is located in the center of all facilities. A huge array of crystals fixed and supported by vines: Thorin's main hub array.

This is the highest point in the entire Holy Spirit Plain, and it is also one of the most important facilities in the Thorin area. Around the huge crystal array, you can see more than a dozen large-scale fully-armed treemen, all of which are differentiated from the Thorin giant tree. The "Guardians" who grew up are responsible for guarding this giant tree and a large number of valuable devices mounted on the giant tree. These treemen are wearing heavy alloy armor, and behind and waists are fixed on the chariots that humans can't afford at all. The large-scale magic net energy packs that are only used, and the powerful Gorgon cannons in their hands, each of which looks majestic and daunting.

And the defenses of Thorin's main hub don't stop there—

A little further away from the crystal array, at the edge of the canopy, there are also many unusually thick and sturdy wooden structures growing from the branches, and the ends of those wooden structures that look like giant arms are "clinching" fortress-level railguns. Or large bomb throwers, these formidable defensive firepower are another layer of security for Thorin's main hub.

The main hub of the magic web is an extremely important imperial strategic facility. Not only is this the case of the Thorin giant tree here, but other main hubs also have similar levels of protection.

In a clattering sound, a crack suddenly opened on the "ground" near the crystal array, and the leaves that were originally used to cover the "ground" opened to both sides, forming a structure like a cluster of petals, a natural growth of vines The resulting "cage" rose up from the crack.

The cage stopped smoothly, the vines on the side opened layer by layer, and Margarita and several technicians walked out.

The shield covering the entire tree-top platform isolated the cold and gusty winds in the sky, and only the magnificent and open scenery at the top of the tree canopy greeted visitors. Margarita took a light breath and couldn't help but sigh: "No matter how many times you come up here, here The views are so amazing…”

A rustling sound came from the side, and some of the vines that had been separated from the lift cage wriggled and gathered together, and in a burst of fusion and deformation, they changed into the appearance of Bertila, the former sect of death of all things. Chang nodded to Margarita: "It's really unusual to look around from such a high place - if you need it, I can also create a higher observation deck on the top of the tree canopy."

"No, no need, thank you for your kindness, Lady Bertiera," Margarita said hurriedly, then looked at the crystal array not far away, "Your Majesty is very concerned about the reappearance of the signal, what new discoveries do you have here? ?"

"The tracking attempt has failed, the signal source has completely disappeared, and I can't find any clues within my perception range," Bertila shook his head, "but when trying to analyze the signals that have been recorded, I seem to have a point Find."
