The cursing of the Treant leader cannot change any reality. Those plant vines that rashly crossed the border and tried to invade the inside of the explosion pit have been devastated by the garrison of the Deep Blue Well. After the beam swept through, the last bit of ashes drifted into the wind, This little test ended in failure, like dozens of previous attempts.

Another tree man next to the leader stepped forward, his branches shriveled and twisted, but there was a strong magic power roaming through its dry canopy. Formed a structure like an inflated brain, looking eerie and disturbing.

This twisted creature with a "brain canopy" looked down at the hill of crystal pillars in the explosion crater, and watched the magical light between the crystal pillars gradually dissipate. Uncertainty: "We have successfully controlled several iron man echelons, but through these iron soldiers, we can only penetrate the outermost defense line... The vigilance of the soul in the deepest part of the Deep Blue Well is too strong, and she has been constantly re-emerging. Build a security model inside the ruins, even if this place has not been invaded for seven hundred years..."

The Grand Master snorted, his voice low and gloomy: "Paranoid, stubborn, persecutory delusional... That dead soul has been entrenched in this grave for seven hundred years, maybe he has gone mad long ago."

"A mind matrix can't go crazy... The stability of steel and crystals is much more stable than your mental state, Mr. Grand Master," two female voices that sounded at the same time suddenly came from not far away, with a tone in their tone. A few small jokes interrupted the high priest's whispered curse, "We heard you curse here just now--this is not your usual demeanor."

The Grand Master turned around, and the two elves who were walking from not far away were reflected in the yellow-brown eyes.

"Leerna, Philna..." He said in a deep voice, "Are you here to watch the fun?"

"Please calm down, Grand Master," the twins came to the tree man leader, the two sisters with the same appearance, with a gentle and sweet smile, bent slightly, "As a plant, you should have a more peaceful Calmness - getting too excited can damage your roots and canopy."

The Grand Master snorted in dissatisfaction, and the dry branches rattled: "You don't need to show off Wheezes here - you might as well pay attention to the facts in front of you. Look at this ruin, the energy of the Deep Blue Well is right in front of us. , However, after such a long time, we can only linger near the outer defense circle. You promised to infiltrate the ancient defense system here, but in my opinion... your promise has not been fully fulfilled."

"What we promised at the beginning was only to penetrate a part of Iron Man's mind, not the entire defense system," said the elves in unison, with a very calm expression on their faces.

"We believe that your memory should not be so bad."

The Great Master's yellow-brown eyes stared at the Elf Gemini, but after a few seconds of staring, he retracted his gaze: "You are right, but you also said that the iron man's mind network is used to bypass the The Matrix is ​​doable - obviously, you failed, and the fact is that even with control of several Iron Man echelons, we can't get into the depths of the ruins."

"No, this idea is indeed feasible, it just needs some luck and timing, so we tell you to be patient enough," Leerna said immediately, "but don't worry, we are here to tell you the good news today. Yes—forget that small failure just now, the time has come for us to infiltrate the next step."

"Huh?" The headmaster's eyes became serious, "You mean..."

"We have been indirectly observing the situation inside the deep blue fortress through the captured iron man's mental core, and based on the data just collected a few hours ago, we can confirm one thing..." Philna smiled sweetly , the tone couldn't help but rise, "The operating efficiency of the Ophelia matrix has dropped, Your Excellency the Great Master."

"The efficiency of the Ophelia Matrix has dropped?!" The Grand Master was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of disbelief in his tone, "Are you sure?"

"We have confidence in our own judgments, Grand Master," Leerna put away her smile and her expression became serious, "Since two days ago, we have found that the Ophelia Matrix is ​​producing abnormal fluctuations, and it seems that inside her There was an unusually large data exchange and reorganization - we don't know what she is doing at the moment, but since that data exchange, her operating efficiency has been declining, and the decline has not completely stabilized until a few hours ago, And it has remained at a low level until now.”

Leerna stopped here, and Firna took it without delay: "According to the calculation we just completed, if the Ophelia Matrix continues to maintain the current operating efficiency for 48 hours, she is rebuilding the internal defense. In safe mode there is a very tiny bug, if it lasts longer...the bug will become exploitable, we can push the penetration line into the impact crater, and maybe even take over part of the outermost energy conduit of the deep blue well ."

The Great Master's gaze fell on the elf twins. There was no obvious expression on the woody and sinister face. However, the twinkling light in the eyes showed that this severely distorted life was in a relatively excited state. There was a hoarse laugh, but he soon became suspicious: "Wait, since the change happened two days ago, why didn't you report it at that time?"

"We need to confirm - although the Ophelia matrix has been running smoothly for seven hundred years, she may also experience short-term and normal fluctuations due to internal self-maintenance or partial node failure replacement, so we need to confirm that she is really out. I can report the situation to you only if I have a problem," Firna said calmly, "unless you are willing to be disturbed by frequent and meaningless trivial matters, then our sisters can report all the details in detail."

The Grand Master stared at the Elf Twins for a long time, and it was not until more than ten seconds later that he withdrew his gaze again.

"Well, I don't care about your 'details', I respect our 'cooperative relationship'," he said lightly, "Then show some sincerity as a collaborator and tell me how to go further. The penetration of - we need the power of the Deep Blue Well, even if it can only control one of its outermost conduits, it will be a huge improvement."

Leerna and Firna smiled.

They raised their heads, looked at the deep blue well in the distance, and watched the pure energy spewing out from the top of the crystal pillar rushing into the sky like a giant sword, piercing the filthy clouds, stirring the gloomy cyclone that covered the entire wasteland. .

"Of course," said the twins in unison, "we will get the power of the Deep Blue Well."

...

The connection with the land was completely cut off just now.

Gawain got up from the dragon's back and looked at several special devices placed behind Melita's shoulder blades - those devices no longer forwarded signals from the land, and the holographic projection was showing an error sign, the base rune Parts also dimmed, a sign that the underlying response signal had completely disappeared, and all of this happened sooner than the technicians had expected.

He frowned: It seems that even the most powerful and most sensitive special models cannot maintain contact with the land after crossing the offshore dividing line. Set up transit nodes on the ocean, or lay some kind of communication facilities on the seabed.

As for launching communications satellites...it's probably too early to think about it.

The whistling sea breeze swept past Melita's protective barrier, and the whistling sound was very weak when it entered the ears. The sea surface was shimmering with waves in the setting sun, showing a magnificent beauty that people living on land could not imagine.

Melita has lowered her altitude twice in a row, and now she is almost at low altitude.

"The signal has been interrupted," Amber scratched his hair. "The rate of signal attenuation in the ocean area is faster than that on land - the large hub on the north port side can reasonably be covered here."

"I can lower the altitude a little bit, I'm relatively good at ultra-low-altitude flying," Melita's voice came from the front, "Flying close to the sea can shorten the straight-line distance between your communication equipment and the land, and the interference will also better."

"Then I'll trouble you," Gawain did not reject the other party's kindness, after all, he really wanted to collect more data, "Let's lower the height."

"It's a small matter, just flapping your wings."

Melita said casually, and then the powerful dragon stretched out its wings and adjusted its overall flight attitude, and its height was once again lowered to the point where it almost flew close to the sea surface - the waves rolled under the dragon's wings, suddenly rowing The passing air rolled up the foam and debris floating on the water, forming a shattered white trail behind the dragon.

A buzzing sound came from those devices, two of which were specially used to detect the answer signal and identify the remote hub automatically turned on, and the holographic projection above them jittered and jumped out some characters, just as Melita said. As it was said, the interference of magic power improved in places closer to the sea—but it didn’t last long.

Just a few minutes later, the connection dropped again, this time for real.

"Do you need me to hover for a while?" Melita said kindly, "Maybe we can find a more precise 'demarcation point'."

"...No need," Gawain thought for a while, then shook his head, "The equipment has automatically recorded the relevant data, and the technicians will analyze it after returning. The situation on the ocean is changing rapidly. The data isn't very useful either."

"Okay, then I'm going to raise the altitude," Melita shook her head. "I don't have to worry about the sea when I fly higher. There are several islands nearby. If I continue to fly at a low altitude, I'm worried about hitting the mountain."

As she spoke, the giant dragon vigorously stirred her wings. With a slight inclination and acceleration, the ocean and sky in Gawain's field of vision began to sink, and Amber on the side shouted curiously: "Hey, have you hit a mountain before?"

"Of course not," Melita said immediately. "My flying skills are the best among my peers!"

Amber leaned next to Gawain and whispered, "I don't know why, I always feel like she's not telling the truth..."

Gawain maintained a state of majesty and did not say a word.

But he thinks what Amber said makes sense...

At this moment, Veronica, who had been closing her eyes in the back, did not speak much the whole time, suddenly stood up.

The "Holy Princess" stepped forward, came to Gawain's side, looked into the distance and whispered, "We are approaching that storm..."

"Mom!!" Amber on the other side of Gawain also exclaimed, "Could it be that we have to go straight through?!"

In front of Melita's flight path, a magnificent cloud wall is already standing at the end of the sky and sea. As the distance gets closer, the details of the magnificent cloud wall are clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes - it is connected to the ocean And the sky, there are large-scale, laterally moving clouds on the surface. Under the entanglement of the storm, a large amount of sea water was swept up into the air, and then fell again in the middle of the cloud wall, forming a long-term violent storm outside the storm circle. , Even though it was still a little distance away, Gawain could clearly see how amazing the power of the torrential rain and the storms in the upper layers were—there was no doubt that it was a natural wonder that could not be challenged by human beings at this stage.

Not even the strongest and most powerful battleship of the Cecil Empire.

And at this moment, Melita's flight direction was pointing straight at the storm! !

"Of course it's going through," Miss Giant Dragon's low and thunderous voice came from the front, her tone full of ease and indifference, "The scale of this storm is amazing, it will take a lot of effort and a lot of time to go around."

While speaking, she had already stirred the giant wings again, and the native runes on the edge of the dragon wings lit up one by one. Under the impetus of magic, her flying height began to climb rapidly, and the distant storm cloud wall was in the sight of Gawain and others. declined rapidly.

"Can you cross this storm from the cloud wall?" Gawain asked immediately.

"Ah... If you want to completely cross the storm circle, you have to fly near the boundary between the turbulent layer and the steady state limit layer. That's a height where no dragon can stay for a long time." With a slight smile, "We won't fly that high—just get to the middle of the turbulent layer."

Gawain frowned subconsciously, and instinctively felt that the structure of the eternal storm would be a little weird if Melita said it: "At that height, the power of the storm is relatively weak?"

"Yes, the power of the storm over there will be weaker - of course, it is still dangerous for ordinary flying creatures, but it is already a 'strong wind' that can be tolerated by the dragon family," Melita said with pride. "I'll protect you with a magic shield, so just sit back then. Enjoy the rest of the journey—I think it's going to be spectacular for you."

Is the wind weakening at the heights? Isn't the "power source" of the eternal storm not the upper atmosphere, but... near the sea? !
