Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Sword of Dawn" at any time...

The first time this unknown woman appeared beside Veronica, Gao realized that something was wrong—he had been active in this world for several months as a human being, and he had been observing the earth in the form of a satellite spirit for many years. He has seen all kinds of strange races in this continent, but he has never seen anyone who grows like this: wearing a picture of human facial features and wearing human clothes, but the whole body is actually translucent The light of , this form is not so much a person, but more like some kind of elemental creature...

But elemental creatures don't look like this!

Gao's first reaction was to see a rare creature, maybe he was still an SSR, but then he found that everyone around him was calm, as if he didn't notice the strange appearance of the short-haired woman. Such a magician is calm because he has seen strange magical phenomena, but even a guy like Amber, who can happily ask someone to talk about it for a long time when he sees a big egg, has a calm face, and even has a kung fu analysis. Other people's aesthetic problems ... that situation can be a big problem. !

The only explanation is that, except for him, the short-haired woman in all eyes is normal.

Therefore, Gao decided to temporarily suppress the huge consternation in his heart and reconcile. He forcibly restrained his expression and turned his attention to Veronica's appearance - let alone, except for the one next to him that glowed like a holographic projection In addition to facial paralysis, Veronica is indeed the most attractive presence on the scene. Although she is not too good for Heidi in terms of beauty alone, that almost inhuman temperament is not possessed by everyone.

According to rumors, this "Holy Princess" has shown amazing talent since she was a child. In addition to overpowering ordinary people in terms of magic and martial arts, she also has an incredible spiritual talent that is inclined to the Holy Light. When she first entered the Holy Light University When he was in the church, even the bronze bell of the main bell tower was struck by the Holy Light and automatically rang three times, which was one of the reasons why he finally gave up his right to inherit the throne and converted to the Church of the Holy Light.

Although 90% of this is probably rumors, Gao believes that even if there are rumors, there is a reason.

The two parties exchanged brief chats at the dock, the content of which was nothing more than "The Duke has worked hard to open up wasteland", "Keep in mind the heroic spirit", "How is the king's body", "Lost respect for a long time", "When will dinner be served" and so on. What nutritional content (the last one is what Amber said), and in the process of greeting each other, the two parties also gave a brief introduction.

Gao knew the name of the priest woman beside her from Veronica's mouth: the name is very common, Sandy, but her identity is not ordinary, she is a high-level priestess of the Church of the Holy Light, from the level and Veronica They are on the same level, but since they have not received any positions in the teaching and the promotion time is short, they are temporarily accompanying the team in the name of assisting Veronica.

And the man wearing professional clothes and the emblem of the Royal Knights is the deputy head of the First Knights of the Royal Family, directly under Francis II.

Named Cohen Lauren, with the title of Earl. From the surname, it can be seen that he has a close relationship with Silas Lauren, the Duke of the East. In fact, the deputy commander of the Knights is indeed a member of the Lauren family, and he is the distant cousin of Silas Lauren. Brother, but he voluntarily gave up his position in the family many years ago, and instead accepted the special canonization of Francis II, becoming one of the royal family's inner court nobles.

During this trip, the duty of the deputy leader of the knights was to protect Veronica's safety.

After the chat was over, Gao asked Hetty to arrange a rest for the 100 technicians who were disembarking from the ship, while he took Amber and Rebecca and accompanied Veronica to the tent. , and two knights are guarding the left and right.

The soldiers who got off the boat also followed, but Veronica quickly stopped and said to the young man beside her, "Mr. Cohen, please let the soldiers rest."

The young man hesitated for a moment, and Veronica shook his head gently: "In the territory of the founding grand duke, I don't think I need to worry about my safety - and you don't think you are following Duke Cecil with so many soldiers. Is it rude to do something behind you?"

The young man nodded and waved to dismiss the soldiers who came, but he still followed the princess himself.

Keeping Veronica safe was the task given to him by Francis II when he set off.

On the road, Gao briefly talked about the situation at the camp, and as expected, Veronica took the initiative to ask about the bloody bones on the south bank of the Baishui River.

"Those gigantic skeletons...Are you the aberration monsters that only appear in the magic tide?" Veronica asked in a serious tone, looking at Gao's eyes.

"Yes, it is the product of the catastrophe seven hundred years ago. I went to the capital to remind you a few months ago," Gao replied, "They came again a few days ago, but this time we blocked them. It's down. What I'm saying is that this batch of monsters wandered out of the Gondor wasteland - and in those monsters, we found fragments of standard weapons from the Gondor period."

Veronica's footsteps paused slightly, and her tone changed slightly: "Gondor Wasteland?! Are you sure?"

"Not sure."

"This is impossible!" Cohen immediately frowned and exclaimed in a low voice, the deputy commander of the Royal Knights, "To get here from the Gondor wasteland, you need to pass through a belt-shaped plain and dark mountains, and before that, there are magnificent The wall is blocking, what about those monsters... Is there something wrong with the magnificent wall!?"

As he spoke, he involuntarily looked towards the direction of the dark mountain range, as if he could not hold back at this moment and wanted to go to the mountain to confirm, Gao Jian shook his head: "Now the wall is still there, you climb over the mountain It's still visible, but I'm sure the wall is starting to fade... it's aging faster than we expected back then."

Cohen's breathing became heavier, and the severity of the situation was beyond his imagination again. He took two deep breaths to calm down: "The sentinel nodes of the magnificent wall have always been monitored by the Silver Empire, and the elves have never been in the past for hundreds of years. Speaking of the weakening of the walls..."

"Elves... Elves are a trustworthy race, at least the ones we worked with back then," Gao said as he glanced at Amber, who was wandering in the sky next to him, and quickly thought of this elf in his mind. Shame aside, "It's only been seven hundred years, and for elves, it's not enough to replace a generation of population, so I believe they won't deceive the mainland countries on this issue. But there is one thing we need to know... This is the mainland The northern end of the country, and the Silver Empire is at the southernmost end of the continent, separated by a vast wasteland of Gondor, even with the power of the Silver Empire, there will be serious information delays in monitoring the Sentinel Tower here."

Cohen frowned, of course he knew this fact, but there was no choice for the elves of the Silver Empire to oversee the entire magnificent wall: after the collapse of the Gondor Empire, only the ancestral magic mastered by the elves could build From this protective barrier, which can be called a trace, other countries and races can only provide some materials and labor if they die, so the "high magic technology part" of the entire magnificent wall is completely based on the ancient magic system of elves. This magical technique... only an elves can master it.

It is not that the Silver Empire has monopolized technology, but that the brain structure of other races, except elves, cannot handle the spell model of elves at all. Those who have pointed ears are born with special perception and thinking abilities. The process is complex and sophisticated, and the magic and elven spells used by humans are more like some kind of low-profile copycat...

Of course, human spells are also good, and they are large in quantity: low cost, high power, except for the occasional bastard like Hetty who can’t beat and Rebecca, who only has big fireballs, all aspects are not bad.

All in all, due to the infrastructural limitations of the magnificent wall, all the Sentinel Towers in the past seven hundred years have been monitored by the Silver Empire, and the limitation Gao said is unavoidable: the elves located in the southern part of the continent, it is difficult to timely Know what's wrong with the northernmost Sentinel Tower.

"Although I have converted to the Holy Light and no longer intervene in the affairs of the kingdom, the Holy Light teachings teach us to uphold compassion and benevolence," Veronica suddenly broke the silence, "I will report the situation here to me when I go back. and suggested that he immediately send messengers to contact the elves."

Then she looked around worriedly: "If the magnificent wall really goes out, this place must bear the brunt, how could these weak people survive... Duke Cecil, I don't question your courage, but for the sake of the people here , are you considering moving somewhere else..."

"Thank you for worrying, but I don't have this idea yet," Gao smiled and glanced at Veronica, "I have already confirmed the situation of the magnificent wall, and it will not have problems again in a short time, and it will completely collapse. The risk is almost nil. Besides, if the Great Wall does come down... what difference does it make where you hide on this continent?"

"I'm fine, how on earth did you stop those monsters," Cohen couldn't help asking, "I can feel how powerful they used to be from the breath left by those skeletons, and the force of this territory... …”

Gao Hehe smiled: "Most of it is luck, these monsters unfortunately encountered a mountain collapse, and were discovered by our people a few days before approaching the camp, we are ready for this, the rest of the reasons... you guys Let it be the wisdom and strength of the elderly."

Veronica and Cohen: "..."

Amber and Rebecca, who followed Gao, muttered: "Look, I said that your ancestors would be mad at me."

Rebecca looked innocent: "Is it wrong to tell the truth?"

Amber: "...This shameless style must be your family tradition."

Rebecca: "You are rude!"

Gao Wei was a little embarrassed to listen to the little movement behind him - the two girls thought they had suppressed their voices just right, but in fact everyone at the scene could hear their movements. It’s okay to be teased. A thief like Amber is obviously deliberately begging for a beating, but it seems inappropriate to hang her up and beat her on this occasion…

Fortunately, Veronica did not seem to care about the muttering of the two young girls. After she heard Gao's decision to stay here, she just showed an expression that seemed to have been expected, and said quietly: "I respect Your decision, but I want you to know one thing - if the situation on the southern side deteriorates, the kingdom may not have much spare capacity to provide support."

Although Gao knew from the very beginning that with the current system of the Ansu Kingdom, he probably won't get much support from the royal family, and this was just in line with his own wishes, but from Veronica's tone, he could hear something else. A layer of meaning, so I couldn't help asking: "What's the problem?"

"Eastern border," Cohen, the deputy leader of the Knights, said in a low tone, "We and the Typhon Empire... I'm afraid there is no room for relaxation."

Baidu search station!
