Sword of Dawn

Page 664

In the forest on the edge of the Homecoming Long Bridge, the sound of heavy footsteps and wooden branches shaking and rubbing sounded continuously. The huge forest guard came out of the forest and inspected the land that has now regained its calm. Ordinary treant guards are much taller. The guard has a strong torso and iron-gray bark. There are a lot of alloy armor and tactical equipment on the outside of the bark and on the crown that are absolutely invisible to ordinary treants. They stand out in this lush forest.

They hold heavy Gorgon rail guns, shoulder shield generators and automatic missile launchers. Communication arrays and armored crew compartments are buried in the canopy. Every guard is like a walking turret—even if it is painted The wind is really weird, but the existence of these "Shorin Guardians" has become the norm in this forest. Whether it is the elves on this side of the long bridge or the humans on the other side of the long bridge, they are all used to these silent and powerful allies.

At the moment when the Silver Empire and the Gaoling Kingdom are not recovering, the Thorin Guardians are an important guarantee to ensure the peace, order and stability of the forest.

After the routine patrol to the Homecoming Bridge, the Thorin guards slowly stopped. One of the guards leaned over, and then two agile figures emerged from its canopy and jumped lightly. On the ground——these are two elves, but their appearances are significantly different. One of the taller huntresses is an obvious silver elf, and the other petite figure has pale to almost transparent skin and is bigger than the silver elf. On the shorter ears, you can also see faintly emerging mysterious magic patterns like tattoos on the surface of the skin.

The petite elf was Berna Breeze who led Thorin's guards to patrol the forest, and the huntress beside her... was her childhood friend she thought she would never see again.

Standing on the land of her hometown, Berna took a deep breath of the cool and fresh air. The magic runes around her neck and forehead flickered several times like breathing. Half of the Thorin guards received the order immediately and continued to patrol For the next route, Berna herself looked in the direction of the long bridge of the homecoming, and her eyes did not leave for a long time.

On the wide sea-crossing bridge built with ancient technology, the convoy transporting supplies is quickly passing through the border checkpoint of the Silver Empire, and a group of elves preparing to go to the Northern Kingdom are walking towards the "Travel Registration Bureau" near the checkpoint. The flat and wide deck of the long bridge is glowing with a psychedelic brilliance in the sun. The automatic maintenance machinery is quickly going back and forth in the grooves on both sides of the bridge, and the giant eagle knight patrolling the sky just flies over the long bridge. , the majestic and elegant figure quickly passed by in the sunlight.

Even now, when Berna sees the Long Bridge of the Homecoming, she still feels a sense of unreality like a dream.

"I really didn't expect...the day I would see this bridge again," Bernardo said softly, "It appeared in my fragmented dreams countless times, until the day when I couldn't even maintain the dream, It's still imprinted on my memory like a shadow, but now it's here, in front of my eyes, and I can even step on it..."

"Yes, you used to walk across this long bridge to go home, Berna," the tall huntress looked back at her childhood playmate who had been away for many years and returned to her hometown suddenly not long ago. Berna still hasn't mentioned to her former friends what she has experienced in these years, but just from those few words and her strange appearance now, the huntress knows that this must be a difficult journey, "So you really If you don't plan to stay here? You finally went home..."

"...I have thought about it, but I have my own place to go," Berna shook her head lightly, "I have already met my mentor and my friends, and they are all doing well now. They also know that I'm doing well, and I think that's enough - this forest is my hometown, but I don't belong here anymore."

"Is it because of your... this body?" The huntress frowned slightly, looking at Bernardo's body covered with magic patterns, "I noticed that your body occasionally has abnormally high fever, and you don't seem to be quite used to the life in your hometown. Food... Could it be that this body is very unstable? Or that these runes will bring a lot of pressure?"

"This is part of the reason, but more of the reason... is that it is really necessary for me to go back to the giant tree of Sorin," Bernardo laughed, "At least, I have to bring these Sorin guards back—they are from the Cecil 'loaned' to the army of the Silver Empire, and when General Lomar is ready for the handover, these reinforcements will definitely return to the mainland, and of course I, the 'commander', will follow."

"Then you can come back after you send them back..." The huntress said immediately, but finally sighed suddenly, shook her head with a helpless smile, "Well, since this is your decision, it seems There must be someone or something you are thinking about at Lin Jushu, and with your character, this matter must have been decided. So, you will always live in the north from now on?"

Berna raised her arm and looked at the shimmering runes on it: "It should be, after all, my body is indeed more suitable for the northern environment now."

Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled, and looked at her friend beside her: "But you don't have to show such an expression, Wei, have you forgotten? The wasteland is no longer an insurmountable dead land, and the north and south of the mainland are also separated." As far away as before, it seems like two worlds. I heard that soon the three empires will start to build two magic energy railways running through the wasteland, running through the east, west, north and south, based on the current blocking wall, and there will be more in the future. There will be an air 'flight' directly connecting Cecil and the Silver Empire - then you can find me, and I will take you to the highest viewing platform of the Thorin giant tree to see the sunrise of the Holy Spirit Plain.

"That is the most magnificent scenery I have ever seen in my life. It is even more beautiful than the dawn in the forest in my hometown. I can also take you to 'expedition' in the dark mountains. Now it is about to become a tourist attraction, or go to See the snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the north? I haven't been there, but I heard that the scenery around Winterhold is very beautiful, and you can catch seals near North Harbor... Have you ever seen seals? The dragons in the north are very good at roasting seals! I know some dragon friends..."

Bernardo's eyes were shining brightly, and she told about the exotic scenery that was unimaginable in the hearts of her friends who had lived in the southern forest since childhood. At this moment, the huntress called "Wei" seemed to be looking at Many years ago, I saw the elves who were excitedly packing their bags and preparing to cross the Long Bridge of Homecoming to travel to the human world in the north. He kept talking, and the other listened helplessly for a long time.

After so many years, a lot of things have changed, but some things seem to remain the same, and the feeling... doesn't seem bad.

"Okay, okay, I'll go find you. If you talk about it again, my head will explode." The corners of the huntress' lips curled up, and she reached out to press her friend's shoulder. "I'm looking forward to taking the train directly or' The day the flight' went north, as you always told us when you came back... the world changed, right?"

"Yeah, this world has changed, many things have changed..." Berna smiled lightly, but suddenly, several runes near her neck lighted up slightly, which made her quickly shoot the huntress away arm, "Ah sorry, I'll call back..."

"Messaging again?" The huntress raised her eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in her tone, "Or that saint? She's almost becoming your mother, I heard she wasn't like that back then..."

Bernardo waved her hand with a little embarrassment and apology, and then started talking to the summons as she walked two steps away: "Ah, I was chatting with my friends just now... Now? Patrol, the situation here has just stabilized It didn't take long... I wasn't tired or tired, and I didn't have to walk down by myself. I just sat on the guard and watched the scenery. Remember, remember, keep warm? It's almost to the equator here! It's just a little cooler today! I know I know , I brush my teeth every day...Of course I don't pick up anything to eat! I'm not a two-hundred-year-old kid...

"Ah? Picking up fruits in the forest doesn't count! We elves have always... oops, my stomach is much better, it's okay... Can't you just pick up the fruits that fall from your body and eat them? And I washed them all of……"

Berna had already walked away a few steps, but her voice was still carried clearly by the wind. The huntress watched the petite elf girl leaning against the foot of the tree guard, muttering to a voice from afar, slowly Slowly, she couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

She still doesn't know what Bernardo has experienced these years, just like she doesn't know how many joys and sorrows are happening in this world every moment, and how many hazes there have been in the lost and obscure history, but just like the sunshine at this moment Shining on the earth, the Long Bridge of the Homecoming has once again regained its former vigor and bustle—in this world, it seems that there is always some future worth looking forward to.

Berna's summons will probably last for a long time, the huntress exhaled lightly, and looked up at the northern sky, and a few lights and shadows happened to emerge from the clouds at this time, and came into the huntress' sight.

It was a small group of giant eagle knights, and surrounded by giant eagle knights, the elven airship glowing in the sun.

The huntress opened her eyes slightly: The Tarash meeting is over, and the Silver Queen has returned.

……

After going through a long half-month agenda, this post-war meeting, which attracted the attention of countless people across the continent, finally came to a successful conclusion. It was the large amount of information she sent from the Tarash Plain that arrived at the Elven King's court one step earlier.

Valentian Jingu, the first minister of the empire, stood on the highest terrace of the Elf King's Court, looking at the water pool on the edge of the King's Court. A courtyard building with an exquisite and simple structure and a metallic luster as its main supporting structure was standing quietly. In the center of the pool, there are two apparently newly built bridges connecting to the shore.

That is the escape module "Garden of Tranquility" that was previously separated from the Temple of Stars. As the last well-preserved part of the once glorious Temple of Stars, this escape module has now been permanently shut down, and it stands quietly in the Elven Empire The political and cultural center of the city has become a "monument" with special significance. Every day, countless citizens spontaneously come to the water pool to commemorate. For this reason, the queen even ordered to open part of the original royal court area and use it as a Rest and activity place for visitors.

Whenever he gazed at the "monument" from the heights of the royal court, Valentian would realize more deeply—some things had been changed forever.

On the small round table not far from him, there was quietly a document written in beautiful elf script, which was the information about the post-war meeting that had just been sent back to China from the Tarash Plain.

Valentian glanced at the document sent back to the country by the Queen herself, and he had already read the contents of this document several times——

The kingdom of the deep sea officially joined the alliance as a member state. A mysterious alien group with advanced technology and ancient history was unveiled in front of the world. No one knows what changes this new force will bring to the mortal kingdoms, but Just the addition of a powerful ally is enough to look forward to;

The "Emergency Fire" of ancient Gondor, the descendant of the Norton royal family, Ophelia Norton and the Deep Blue Well under her control have finally officially returned to the mainland stage. As an independent city-state, the legal legitimacy of the Deep Blue Well has been obtained. The countries of the alliance admit that they have now joined the alliance as a new member state. At the same time, with the Deep Blue Well as the center, about a quarter of the entire Tarash Plain is designated as a permanent neutral zone;

While joining the alliance, Deep Blue Well announced its energy and magic mineral export plan. The high-purity arcane energy from the depths of the planet and the seven-century-old arcane crystal deposits will become the foundation of the alliance's post-war recovery. A surging momentum, and in the foreseeable future, this will undoubtedly change the pattern of the entire world.

However, due to the defects of the original energy flow, the range of energy transmission of the Deep Blue Well itself is limited (the territory of the ancient Gondor Empire is limited here), and the three empires headed by the Cecil Empire announced that they will establish the "Alliance Energy Integration Committee" ", using modern magic technology to solve the problem of "the dark blue magic power cannot be sent to the border of Gondor", and ensure the international price stability and market fairness of the dark blue well energy;

As for the development and reconstruction of the Gondor wasteland after the war, it can be roughly divided into two parts:

The land on the edge of the wasteland with historical data and traceable evidence will be "claimed" and legally occupied by Typhon, Cecil, Gaoling, and the human tribes in the Ogure Tribal State, because this part of the land was originally Belonging to the above-mentioned four parties, it is a territory that was opened up by the first generation of pioneers who evacuated from the Gondor Empire in the past and has historical data. It was only gradually abandoned due to the expansion of wasteland pollution in the later period. Now the pollution has receded and the countries (or successors) are still , so the lands returned to their original owners.

In fact, this issue would have been debated for a long time, but the Silver Empire presented at the meeting key evidence sufficient to support the above-mentioned legal ownership of the land: a complete set of development records, a backup of land measurement data, and [-] elf civil servants who registered the data with their own hands... …

In addition to the above-mentioned "land with a master" and the Deep Blue Well, which is an independent city-state, the rest of the wasteland is "commonly owned by all mortals". It has sent the most troops in previous wars and occupied the most land in the wasteland. At the same time, the three empires announced the abandonment of all the areas currently occupied by their respective armies, and announced the establishment of a "transnational development organization" in which all countries can participate. This organization will be dedicated to restoring the vitality of the wasteland and studying the environment after the chaotic magic energy fades , exploitation of resources in safe areas, etc., the development income will be distributed according to the "shares" of the alliance countries, the research results will be shared by all mortals, and the operation of the organization will be supervised by all member states of the alliance—at least, the three empires are so promised.

Naturally, there were dissenting voices in the league - but in the final vote, dissenting voices were in the minority.

Chapter 1422

On the upper deck of the Dawn of the World, in a viewing room with a view of the open sky, Gao Wen was sitting quietly in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows that occupied the entire curved wall. The dazzling skylight above the clouds was covered by the crystal windows. After filtering, it turned into bright but soft light that spilled into the room, illuminating the furnishings in the room and also illuminating a document placed on the small table next to it.

Gawain glanced at the document, and casually muttered to the air next to him: "To be honest, this is really not the best plan."

"But in the end it was passed," Amber's voice came from the air, and her petite figure jumped out of a shadow rift and landed lightly beside Gawain, "This shows that everyone knows that there is no better way at this stage ——As you said, we can’t fight another civil war at this time.”

Gao Wen didn't speak for a while, but silently reviewed the final results of the Tarash meeting in his mind, and at the same time calculated how long this meeting would allow the world to develop.

Returning the large tracts of land that had been purified in the edge of the wasteland to the hands of the "opening up the country" is to follow the legality of the law, and the other is to make up for the previous wars between Typhon, Gaoling, Ogulei and Sai. The huge cost of the war paid by the four countries of Syl - after the collapse of the Great Wall, the four countries surrounding the wasteland faced the most positive and heaviest pressure, and of course paid the greatest price, no one in this regard Can be questioned.

On the other hand, the Deep Blue Well and the core area of ​​the Tarash Plain were classified as a neutral zone. At the same time, the three empires established an international energy regulatory organization, invested in technology, and transported the magic energy output by the Deep Blue Well to the world. This is also the plan agreed upon by Gawain and Ophelia from the very beginning. After receiving the support of the other two empires, there is almost no voice of opposition in the alliance.

Finally, the "remaining" large areas in the wasteland of Gondor after distribution are directly designated as the common property of the world, led by the three empires, and all countries participate in cooperation for joint development and research. No country can The above-mentioned regions claim any sovereignty and set up a strict supervision and management system on the basis of the alliance framework-although in name all countries in the alliance can exercise supervision rights, in fact anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is what the three empires have the final say on .

As Gao Wen said, this is indeed not the best solution - but it is the most available solution at this stage.

"While the big country is full, at least a sip of soup must be left for the small country. Even if the distribution of this soup is in the hands of the big country, at least we can ensure the existence of this soup. This is to maintain the order of the alliance' Bottom line'," Gao Wen broke the silence softly, "the so-called joint development organization in which all countries participate is essentially a soup pot. We have given each country the opportunity to share some benefits, so as long as the three empires do not fight themselves, the Dragon Clan and Special member states like Kraken have no further 'thoughts' about the wasteland of Gondor, and the remaining countries will not be in chaos, at least temporarily."

"Yeah, the premise is that the three empires don't fight themselves," Amber shrugged. "It's great to be able to maintain the current friendly situation with Typhon and Baiyin, but who can say for sure in the long run? Typhon is not Fuel-efficient lamps, elves... elves are even more nervous. Although they have been a peaceful race nesting in the forest for thousands of years, according to my summary and deduction of existing information, they may have Something has changed.

"The fall of the Temple of the Stars caused great fluctuations in the elven society. This sluggish ancient empire seemed to be awakened by the sound of thunder. Now all the things that have been dormant in that forest for thousands of years are becoming active a little bit. The foundry is being refurbished, scholars are building new research facilities, dusty archives and ancient books and scrolls scattered in the empire are being unsealed, and this time, the Silver Queen even proposed transnational The concept of pioneering the organization, there are signs that this ancient race has woken up from the dream of peace, and they are interested in the outside world..."

"Sooner or later," Gao Wen was obviously not surprised by what Amber said, "The Temple of the Stars is like a lock to the elves, and it can even be regarded as a 'soul seal' in another sense. After this lock disappears, Sooner or later they will come out of the forest - pioneering is not just the prerogative of humans. But..."

He shook his head when he said this, and tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers: "The homeland of Gondor is still very big, and this cake can be divided for a long time. At least within a few decades, this 'dining table' will be It is enough to feed every mouth in the alliance, and when the dining table gradually becomes saturated and the contradictions of various countries begin to become prominent, we must find a bigger dining table."

"A bigger dining table?" Amber frowned curiously, but Gao Wen didn't respond to her question, he just raised his head thoughtfully, looking at the clear and open blue sky outside the window.

"Have you encountered any 'mysterious situation' related to Ms. Ye's divine power recently?" Gao Wen suddenly looked away, and looked at Amber with some concern, "I haven't been in touch with 'Negative Tide' in this period of time. okay?"

"Don't worry, I really cherish my life. When I heard those technicians discussing the word 'reverse tide', I immediately ran far away." Both the shadow dust and the shadow imprint are also very quiet, I feel that Ms. Ye's power should have calmed down temporarily..."

Gao Wen frowned lightly: "...still don't understand the nature and function of that shadow mark?"

"I've been researching for a long time, but I haven't made any progress," Amber muttered helplessly. She waved her hand in the air, and the phantom-like gray-white imprint appeared in her palm, slowly floating in the air like a weightless cloud. , "Although it is certain that this thing was left by Ms. Ye, no matter how I sense it, its 'source of power' does not point anywhere, even if it is placed in the Shadow Realm, it does not change at all. It seems that I want to rely on It's impossible for this thing to find Ms. Ye's divine kingdom..."

As she spoke, she grabbed both ends of the imprint and pulled it hard, then swung it back and forth like a rope: "But then again, it's really great to use this thing as a slingshot. , the elasticity and toughness are just right, and no matter how you use it, it will not break. I have never seen a slingshot rubber band that works better than this in my life..."

"...Ms. Ye's ray of divinity can do this in your hands, right?" Gawain immediately glared at the skinny half-elf, "Shadow dust makes you throw it out to blind people's eyes when you fight. The shadow marks let you hit the glass like a slingshot, what are you going to do when you steal Lady Ye's scepter later? Hit people with a sap or open a wine bottle?"

Amber immediately opened her mouth without blushing, "It depends on the specific shape of the Shadow Scepter, maybe it can only be used as a crowbar..."

"It's a shame that you swore that you were the God of the Night." Gao Wen waved his hand, but just as he was about to say something more, he heard the door of the observation room being pushed open suddenly, and followed the sound to look back. , and saw Tyre poking his head in.

"Gao Wen, you are indeed here!" Seeing that there were only Gawain and Amber in the room, Tilton suddenly laughed, followed closely by the long tail and stomped into the room without forgetting Close the door with the tip of the tail, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

"...you twisted those six clones into tails again?" Gao Wen wanted to ask the other party's reason for coming, but suddenly noticed the long tail behind her and said casually, "I thought you were planning to Carry those six clones for a long time."

"Hey, after the meeting is over, why should I take them with me? I'm exhausted from controlling seven bodies and walking upright all day long." Till immediately wagged the tip of his tail, "It's more comfortable to walk in this form. At least the center of gravity is stable..."

"...Anyway, I don't quite understand your siren's way of thinking," Gao Wen coughed dryly, and then asked the other party why he came, "You've been looking for me for a long time? What's the matter?"

"Oh, let me tell you, I have reported the results of the Tarash meeting to the queen, and now Antavien is making preparations, and a transport ship will arrive on the mainland of Loren in a while, and take the All the rune stones we have salvaged so far are brought here—by the way, we will bring a ship of 'cargo' back," Till said casually, "In addition, the queen also said that she will specially arrange for some sisters who are good at butterfly swimming in the web lane to sneak into the dark blue web lane , to find the whereabouts of other rune stones and place signal repeaters.

"Theoretically, once the signal repeaters recognize the rune stone, they will try to build a more stable and controllable sending and receiving link. Although I don't know if this method will work, it won't hurt to try more."

Gawain nodded slightly while listening to Tyre's words, and Amber next to him asked after thinking for a while: "Speaking of pulling a ship of 'goods' back... have you really decided like this? One of the main armies of the war, even if you are not a country on the continent of Loren, you are still entitled to a share of the joint development, but in the end you wanted a small half of Ni Tide's corpse..."

"For us, this is much more useful than the 'resources' on land," Till laughed, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth calmly, "There is everything we need in the deep sea, far more than land The things that can be given to us are much more abundant, but in comparison, the corpse of a god is much rarer..."

Gawain noticed the sparkling mark on the corner of Miss Kraken's mouth very keenly, and his expression became extremely weird: "Seriously, you can really put that thing in your mouth?"

"It's going down, it's going down," Till immediately nodded, and while nodding, he slapped the floor with the tip of his tail quickly, "Don't you really think that the appearance of that thing is okay? I just took a look, and the meat quality... sizzling..."

Gao Wen & Amber: "..."

"Hey, I tell you that you don't understand either," Tire knew from Gawain's and Amber's faces that there was a serious species gap, and as a sea monster, she was used to this kind of conflict with land races. So I waved my hand nonchalantly, "You don't know how many strange things there are in the deep sea. The ones like the reverse tide are at most like big meatballs in the restaurant of Antavien... Ah, I I won’t describe it anymore, I feel like you two are about to spit it out. But then again, we didn’t pull that thing back just to try something new, it’s mainly for research..."

The Kraken's technology allows them to extract extremely pure and powerful energy from the corpses of gods. This kind of energy is not yet mastered by land races, but it can be used to power their huge starship. This is what Gao Wen said I know, and he also knows that the Krakens have made great progress in the restoration of starships in the past two years—as they gradually become aware of the "magic power" of this world, the Krakens have finally found a way to fight against the "law deviation". The way, they have successfully restarted many units of Antaveen. Although it is still far away from the starship's full activation, this race that has been in trouble for hundreds of thousands of years on the "primordial planet"... now finally has a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Speaking of which, how is the progress of your spaceship repair project?"

"I heard that the progress is quite fast. Now we have been able to make Antavien's core fusion tower run stably for a period of time, and the energy output efficiency has reached more than 50%," Till said in a good mood. Question, many things are much more convenient. But I don’t know the specifics, after all, I’m not a deep-water technician or a deep-sea witch... Oh, right, there’s one more thing!”

As if thinking of something suddenly, Tire raised her voice so suddenly that both Gawain and Amber were startled, and then she raised the tip of her tail and said with a serious face: "I heard...they succeeded in making FTL communication possible. The array booted up, albeit only briefly."

"The faster-than-light communication array?" Gawain was taken aback, and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Amber next to him. After two seconds of blank thinking, he suddenly realized the meaning behind it.

One thing flashed through his mind like lightning - the communication between the stars!

"Antaveen has the ability to communicate faster than the speed of light?" He asked subconsciously, but then said, "Ah, yes, of course you have this ability, after all, it is a giant ship for deep space immigration , Communication on an astronomical scale must break through this problem... Your superluminal communication array has been activated for a while, does it mean that at least a short period of time, that thing can be used?!"

"Ah...of course it can be used." Probably startled by Gawain's suddenly serious expression, Tire's tail straightened for a moment, and then he nodded quickly, "But it's very unstable——we I originally planned to use it to search for the other three sister ships that lost contact, but I didn't expect that the main antenna would go down just after completing a round of scanning... Now the big witch Hathaway is trying to find a fault inside..."

Amber looked at Gawain and then at Tyre, and after a lot of thinking in her head, she finally caught up with the current topic, and said to Gawain hesitantly: "Then what... I don't know much about the 'superluminal communication array' Interesting, but I probably guessed what you guys were talking about. Are you planning to… respond to the 'signal' we received with the help of Antaveen's communication device? I mean, take advantage of that communication When the device works..."

Gao Wen frowned, as if he was thinking intensely, but in the end he shook his head: "...Don't be so reckless, it's not wise to hastily respond to an alien civilization that is very likely to be more advanced than us. This matter needs to be discussed slowly, not to mention that Antaveen's superluminal communication array may not be able to complete this task, it sounds like its state is really bad-and the Kraken may not be willing..."

Chapter 1423 Celebration of Victory Day

Indeed, when he heard that there was a superluminal communication array on the starship Antaveen and it was barely usable now, the first thing that popped up in Gawain's mind was the "star" that was constantly reverberating in the universe. Inter-communication"——According to scholars' speculation, it came from a certain star in the direction of the Frost Sky constellation, an alien signal that constantly broadcasts its own position and basic mathematical language, faintly revealing the intention to seek communication.

Due to technical limitations, at this stage, all the tribes in the Loren Continent can only barely receive this signal, but cannot respond to it. Collapsed and buried in a piece of scorched earth, and now the news brought by Tyre made Gawain see a new possibility.

If the superluminal communication array on the Antaveen can be used, then maybe... no, it can definitely be used to establish communication with that mysterious alien signal!

However, it is one thing to be able to establish communication, but the consequences of doing so are another matter. An alien civilization that is more advanced than the world of Loren is not necessarily a friendly civilization. Even if they announce their coordinates in the signal , Showing a defenseless communication attitude will not change-who knows if this is a trap waiting for weak civilizations to take the initiative to expose their existence?

Sea monsters obviously also understand this truth, so they didn't act rashly after repairing the superluminal communication array (although it can only be used for a while)... Shouldn't they act rashly?

Gawain glanced at Tyre, who was having a great time coiling his tail up and then letting go, and asked seriously, "By the way, you didn't try to call the direction of the Frost Sky Constellation." The alien civilization on the planet, right?"

"Of course not," Tyr waved his hand immediately, "There was news from Antaveen that the main antenna burned on the spot, and there was no time to do anything else—besides, we are not stupid, but the opposite side A foreign race who doesn't even know the details, contact us rashly, what if something happens, we sea monsters have always been a rational and stable race..."

As soon as Gao Wen heard this, he subconsciously muttered: "Don't bother with these complimenting words..."

Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject again, and continued the topic before Tyre could react: "Antaveen's superluminal communication array...Although I know it is presumptuous to make this request, the Alliance may..."

"Hey, I know, we're all friends." To Gawain's surprise, Till waved his hand nonchalantly before he finished speaking, "I mentioned this to you because of this—the Queen's side When the superluminal communication array was restarted, she thought that the alliance might need help in this regard. She asked me to tell you that if you think it is necessary, and there has been a sound discussion within the alliance, then she can consider using the superluminal The communication array is lent to you. Of course, the premise is that the deep sea witches and deep water technicians have solved the problem of the main antenna being burned out. The current state of the equipment is too unstable, and it is almost impossible to use it normally..."

This time, Gawain's expression finally changed slightly, he looked at Tire in astonishment, his eyes finally gradually became solemn: "Express my thanks and salute to Queen Perthia, you are indeed a generous and friendly race. "

Tyre glanced at the solemn Gawain, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "We are friends."

Friend... Gawain didn't feel much when he first heard the word from Tire's mouth. After all, in the communication between countries, the weight of the word "friend" often has flexible standards, but when the other party repeats this word again He finally gradually tasted the deep meaning of the word - the "friend" of the sea monster, this is probably not a simple concept.

This advanced group that dominates the deep sea, they always give people the impression of being too happy and escaping, and their overall image of being peaceful and friendly always makes it difficult to communicate with them in a serious manner, so that many people will ignore a fact: In the past tens of thousands of years, the kingdoms of the Loren Continent rose and fell, and the sea monsters just watched and recorded all this calmly. indifferent attitude.

They can be friendly with you, they can play with you, they can laugh and laugh with you for a lifetime - because your whole life is as short as the foam in the sea to them, but in the tens of thousands of years, the "sea monster" This ethnic group has never made "friends" with any land races. As Tyre said, she has been the only "ambassador" sent to land by the deep sea for tens of thousands of years.

The sirens made a friend—a bond that might even last as long as the dragon's promise.

"Perhaps it will take a long time for the alliance countries to realize this..." Gawain muttered softly, then he noticed the curious eyes of Tyre and Amber next to him, smiled and shook his head, "We should have a good discussion about The matter of the 'Xinghai Signal', but that's for the future, at this stage...it's time to return to China."

The warriors who conquered the wasteland have returned triumphantly, and the news of the victory spread to all the countries as early as half a month ago, and now, the commander-in-chief of the empire has also completed his "journey" at the Tarash Conference, and will bring glory Return to his eternally loyal imperial capital - Cecil City.

In the northern part of the Dark Mountains, beside the Whitewater River, the city of Cecil is decorated with lights. Although this is not any festival, the whole city is completely immersed in a grander and more joyful atmosphere than any other festival.

The wide streets were cleaned and colorful flags were hung, stretching from Pioneer Avenue to North Bank New Town, the mechanical bridge across both sides of the Baishui River was decorated with festival day ribbons, and the celebration crowds had already taken to the streets, At the same time, there were neatly arranged formations of dragoons flying over the city. They dropped "Victory Day leaflets" related to the Tarash Conference, and dragged a magnificent stream of magical light in the air, attracting children on the street. They yelled and screamed, and even the adults couldn't help but stop and marvel.

A figure in a light green dress walks lightly through the crowd beside the road. She has a happy smile on her face. Her body, which was once emaciated due to malnutrition, is now slim. The snacks bought there, the nerve thorns close to the skin on the back of the neck glowed with a bright silver metallic luster in the sun. On this street not far from home, people I knew kept saying hello to the girl, and she Responding one by one—even if her mouth was full of snacks, it didn't delay her in the slightest:

"Good morning, Aunt Samir!" "Good morning, Sam—Happy Victory Day!" "Sirona! Your new dress is so beautiful—I have this one? I bought it at the intersection over there, so hurry up , it will be sold out later!"

A burly woman saw the girl in the green dress slithering through the crowd, and couldn't help reminding, "Pea! Slow down! Don't fall!"

"I'm flexible!" Pea looked back at the neighbor happily. She stuffed a mouthful of snacks, but her voice popped out of the talker like popping beans, "I'm in a hurry to see Victory!" What about the Japanese convoy—last week the last batch of expeditionary forces were also withdrawn! Your son seems to be in it too. But then again, it seems that my dad will not come back for a while, and I don’t know where he is at this time. I can't catch up with Victory Day, and I don't know if he forgot to bring me a souvenir..."

Before the words fell, Pea's figure had penetrated into the depths of the crowd again, the drone of dragoons flew over the city, the gorgeous stream of magical light traversed the sky, and colorful leaflets fluttered like snowflakes. Falling to the ground, a newsboy riding a two-wheeled bicycle stopped at the edge of the crowd. The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the crowd next to him, leaned his car against the corner, and started yelling at the top of his voice :

"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! The great development of the new southern border! The large land from the dark mountains to the magnificent wall has returned to the country! Extraordinary! The great development of the new southern border, the third grand opening!"

Pea passed through the crowd and finally squeezed to the side of the wide main road. Surrounded by a crowd of people celebrating, everyone was talking about Victory Day, the Tarash Conference, the third great expansion and the new changes in the alliance, and A lot of fantastic "news" made up by tavern politicians from leaflets and rumours, and the occasional scream from over-excited children.
