Sword of Dawn

"Not necessarily, she didn't seem to be 'melted' after jumping in," Commander Haiyuan touched his chin and analyzed, "Our life form is relatively inactive to the magic environment of this world, so maybe she will be inside It will hang up after soaking for a while..."

Vera shrugged: "Anyway, sooner or later, I will go to the outpost to adjust the shift of the next shift."

At this time, the elemental lord who was like a liquid giant also slowly swam over. The huge lord looked at the direction where Coroline fell just now with a dull expression, and after a long time, he murmured to himself: "She also I don’t want to jump into it... Actually, I just want to ask for an explanation, if there is no explanation, there will be no explanation..."

"...I don't think she jumped in on purpose..." Vera said with a slightly embarrassed expression, and then suddenly noticed that the elemental lord seemed to have only one upper body floating in the sea, and she was shocked, "Ah, why don't you jump in?" What about half of the body?"

The water element lord was taken aback for a moment, and looked back at the place where he was floating before rushing out just now, only to see a vortex of pure water filled with a faint blue light slowly dissipating in the boundless sea, and a frustrated and regretful expression appeared on his face. On the hazy face: "Ah... I forgot to bring it when I rushed out just now."

"Don't be too sad." Commander Haiyuan couldn't help but stepped forward and patted the arm of the water elemental lord, "I actually observed it just now, that half of your body will definitely not be able to keep it, and it will fall if you move it casually. We will investigate this matter later, but before that, we can help you heal the 'wound' first - if you trust the technology of our Kraken, there is an elemental reorganization matrix at the outpost, which we usually don't If you are seriously injured but don't plan to die, you will use it to heal your wounds, and you can also use native water elements..."

Obviously a companion was involved in the dark blue vein just now, but the two sea monsters in front of him were extremely calm. This kind of reaction made the relatively young water element lord at the scene quite uncomfortable. Some records of the "Elemental War" back then, thinking of what the ancient elemental lords told me, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous: This group of visitors from the starry sky called "absorbers"...is indeed a terrifying species.

Then he raised his head involuntarily, and saw the shadow floating on the sea in the distance. It was the outpost built by the sea monsters. Normally, the nearby water elementals would try to go around that place as much as possible, but as an elemental Lord, he is not afraid of that thing, but he has some doubts: "Your technology... can also be used on pure water elements like us? Will there be any sequelae?"

"Of course not," Commander Haiyuan immediately patted his chest proudly, "We are just like you, we are all water elements—come and come, you are welcome, I will introduce our medical technology to you... By the way, Vera, you go to the communication station and report to the above, saying that Coroline was swept away by the dark blue vein, and she might die back at some point, so that the sisters who stayed behind in Antaveen can go to the assembly point when they are free. Recycle it..."

Vera waved her hand to show that she knew, swam towards the outpost with a flick of her tail, and the water elemental lord couldn't help sighing: "Oh, I've heard of it a long time ago, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I still have to say... …Your lifestyle is really different.”

……

On the north side of the Dark Mountains, west of Cecil City, among the huge engineering facilities hidden by the undulating mountains and the surrounding jungle, Gao Wen, who came to inspect the situation in person, was standing on a high platform overlooking the entire assembly field. Rebecca was standing not far from him, concentrating on checking the parameters just submitted by the assistants.

On the vast assembly field under their feet, high-power magic spar lamps make everything brightly lit. A huge steel structure is lying quietly among countless supporting modules and construction frames. The main part of the steel structure is Part of it has almost been completed now, and its outline is roughly a slightly elongated hexagon. The energy arrays, power ridges, anti-gravity engine groups, and various weapons, control, living, and protective facilities that were originally like bones and internal organs have all been completed. It has been properly wrapped by layers of cabin shells, and now only its neat and orderly "deck building" can be seen from above, as well as large weapon bunkers distributed on every sharp corner.

Gawain turned his gaze to the distance, and saw bright flashes continuously coming from the edge of the magnificent "deck". There were construction workers and machines like ants busy in those areas: the magicians were welding the The last part of the edge of the sky fortress was covered with armor, and a solid alloy shell was installed for the last exposed biological nerve tube bundle. When their work was completed, this amazing "fortress" could be considered basically complete.

Yes, basically complete—everything here is just the main structure of the Aerospace Fortress, which can only ensure that it has basic flight and combat capabilities, and many ancillary equipment, such as detection arrays, air data centers, alchemy and synthesis factories, etc. The project was far from being completed. According to Rebecca's original plan, it would take at least one or two years for these things to be installed in the corresponding cabins, but the current situation does not allow it... Gao Wen can only urge the fortress to complete a prototype as soon as possible.

Those things that won't be able to be installed for a while... If it's really impossible, you can wait for the sky fortress to go up and slowly assemble it in the sky while performing tasks.

Gao Wen's eyes moved slowly on the wide deck below, sighing in his heart the scale and momentum of this thing, but the majestic figure of the "Sentinel Spaceship" uncontrollably appeared in his mind. After the comparison, he still couldn't help sighing: the gap between the two is still a bit big...

Rebecca noticed Gawain's sigh, but she didn't know what her ancestor was thinking, she just tilted her head curiously: "My lord ancestor, why are you sighing? Are you still not satisfied with the current progress?"

"No, I just thought of something else... The progress here has far exceeded my expectations," Gawain shook his head, without explaining anything in detail to Rebecca, then he glanced at the magic net terminal behind Rebecca, and said casually Asked, "How is the control center?"

"I just took the last round of wake-up test, and I'm already in good condition." Rebecca immediately showed a happy and proud expression on her face, her eyes lit up like a child showing off a perfect test paper, "You have to talk to 'it' 'Say hello?'

"Are you ready to say hello?" Gawain was a little surprised, and then looked up at the sky above the assembly field. The gray "rock dome" covered everything in his field of vision like a high sky, but he knew that now The huge sun should have almost reached the highest point in the sky, and it is almost noon at this moment, "Indeed, the time is almost up... Rebecca, help me take over the screen of the control center, I will talk to 'it' Hello."

"Okay, my lord ancestor." Rebecca immediately nodded happily and said, then turned around and quickly operated a few times on the magic net terminal, and the holographic image floating above the terminal rapidly expanded and brightened, and soon It became a large projection with a diameter of almost two meters floating above the platform. The scene in the projection trembled twice, and then quickly became clear.

Gao Wen saw a brightly lit hall appearing in the projection. Busy technicians could be seen everywhere in the hall walking among the nerve nodes and recording parameters. In the center of the hall, a set of special It is a huge device, which consists of a large metal body with two small and three hemispherical shapes and a set of huge and complex bases. A large number of intricate structures, like pipes or cables, spread around the base and behind the main body. They submerge into the floor below and the roof above respectively, and there seems to be a glimmer of light flowing inside.

In the next second, the hemispherical casing on the upper half of the huge device slowly opened, and as the metal shield slowly lowered, the crystal containers inside appeared in Gao Wen's eyes, one large, two small, and three hemispherical crystal containers Both of them are filled with a translucent thin solution, among which a huge biological brain taller than a human is soaked in the large container in the center, and the two containers next to it are empty at the moment.

Around this wetware device, you can also see many immersion chambers that are on standby. Of course, those immersion chambers are also empty at this time.

Gao Wen looked at the various things presented in the holographic projection in front of him, and subconsciously glanced sideways at the silent fortress below the platform - what he saw was exactly the control hall at the core of the fortress. scenario.

This fortress is alive. It has a living brain and a nervous system that spreads over hundreds of kilometers. Each of its engines and each of its turrets is wrapped with nerve endings. It can even feel flying. The breeze blowing across the deck while in the air, feeling the footsteps of the crew members as they walked across the deck, and the team manipulating it can even lie in the immersion cabin (if the situation requires it) while commanding the fortress, through neural synchronization Come to exchange views with the "host" of this fortress accurately and quickly, and convey instructions.

Part of this technology comes from the legacy of the Death Society, part from the accumulation of the Eternal Sleepers for hundreds of years, and part from the "Seat of Dominion" of the Silver Elf.

"Hello, Your Majesty the Emperor," a neutral, synthesized voice came from the magic net terminal. At the same time, Gawain saw a wave floating around the synthetic brain soaked in the hemispherical container. A string of purring bubbles, "Very glad—this is the first time I see you, very happy to see you for the first time."

"Hello, Dawn of the World," Gawain nodded. He felt a little strange—he knew that these synthetic brains cultivated from the giant tree of Sorin or the biochemical factory had certain thinking ability and virtual personality, and he also knew that the psychic singer , Wetware technicians are able to communicate with these brains, but for himself, this is the first time he talks to a synthetic brain, it feels strange, "How does it feel to wake up?"

"Very good," the synthetic brain in the holographic projection immediately replied, "I can already feel all my engines and deck buildings, as well as the temperature of each cabin and the operation of the bottom mechanical area. The connection is perfect - and the biomass solution here is very comfortable."

The response of the synthetic brain was smooth and natural, which somewhat exceeded Gawain's expectations—although it couldn't be compared with the Gondor Empire's iron man mental technology that was almost indistinguishable from human beings, the "synthetic brain" created by Bertila The "brain" is obviously already the top level among the various "artificial mind" technologies of the Loren countries in this era.

Rebecca next to her had been staring curiously at the two empty containers on both sides of the wetware host in the holographic projection, and suddenly asked: "Where are your two sub-brains? I remember your two The sub-brain has been installed a long time ago..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the voice of the synthetic brain came from the magic network terminal: "The left secondary brain is helping in the kitchen, and the right secondary brain is lifting weights in the gym—the system load is very low in the parked state. Organic decline, we take turns on duty."

Gao Wen: "...There's nothing wrong with it."

This is not the first time he has dealt with the "synthetic brain" created by Bertila. He has also learned from various channels about the synthetic brain system test run reports submitted by factories, laboratories, and data management departments. I am not unfamiliar with the special operation and maintenance methods of these "biological computers", so although I feel that this is a bit strange at the moment, I still accept it smoothly.

Overclocking depends on jelly beans and maintenance of the gym. This is the normal use process of the exotic biomass computer, and it has to be tasted.

He shook his head to get rid of the thoughts of complaining in his mind, and then looked up at the gray "rock" ceiling.

"Dawn of the World, your main body has been completed. Although it's not yet time to officially fly, but...do you want to bask in the sun?"

"Basking in the sun?" The synthetic brain said doubtful words in a tone with almost no emotional fluctuations, "Is it okay?"

"Of course," Gao Wen laughed, "this is a matter within the process."

"Understood, I want to bask in the sun," the synthetic brain replied immediately, "'Matrix Tree' engraved the 'joy of photosynthesis' deep in the memory of every 'brain', she told us that basking in the sun will bring benefits The thrill of it—I wanted to experience the sun on the deck.”

"...Bertera is engraving everything in your memory..." Gawain couldn't help but tremble, and then turned to Rebecca, "Okay, turn off the projection, open the sky, and let the sun shine in. Here."

Chapter 1302 Tremors

The main construction of the sky fortress "Dawn of the World" has reached the final stage, and according to the original process, this assembly yard hidden between the mountains and dense forests has finally reached the moment when it can see the light of day.

Hearing Gawain's instructions, Rebecca turned on a device next to the magic net terminal, and a sudden buzzing sound resounded throughout the "cave", and her voice echoed over the assembly field: "Everyone Attention the unit, the 'Sky Curtain' is about to open, and the personnel in the work area will suspend construction, waiting for the environment to adapt - the dome projection will be closed after ten seconds."

Rebecca's cheerful and energetic voice echoed over the entire venue, and as her voice fell, a series of clicking sounds of starting, closing, and switching magical relay devices came from many hidden corners, and then The sound of mechanical devices moving and running sounded in the distance. Gawain raised his head and saw that many steel structure support beams fixed near the gray dome directly above were slowly moving to the side, and a large number of lighting devices also changed accordingly. The position was changed, and along with these changes in the mechanical structure, the "rock dome" covering the entire assembly field suddenly flickered after a moment of delay.

Streams of white light appeared on the ceiling from dark to bright, and the roof of the cave, which was originally integrated, was divided into hundreds of square grids of the same size by these streams of light, and then these grids began to gradually become transparent in the flickering , the next second, pieces of "black rock formations" disappeared out of thin air, the holographic projection that made up the dome dissipated, and a splendid and vast sky appeared above the assembly field!

Outside the dome, the sun is just right, and the thin clouds are dotted with the clear winter sky. After the projection of the sky screen disappears, the protective barrier over the assembly field is also temporarily closed, and the cold and fresh air from the outside blows into the valley. The snow that fell from the nearby mountain peaks was falling down one after another—this bright sky was shining on the main body of Project 115 for the first time. After a while, Gawain heard the Dawn of the World coming from the magic net terminal next to him. The mastermind exclaimed: "Oh! Sunshine——"

"Although I have imagined this moment before..." Rebecca looked up at the sky, even though she herself is one of the main designers here, she couldn't help sighing at this moment, "But when I saw it with my own eyes, I still felt It's spectacular..."

Gao Wen didn't speak for a while, he just watched the scene in front of him with satisfaction, with a long, admiring smile on his face.

Yes, there is actually no "dome of rock" above the assembly site of Project 115. Although the engineers did use various explosives and large machinery to "dig" here for a long time to prepare the site, in fact they just widened the area. The original valley here has been removed, and what has shrouded the assembly field for a long time... is actually a holographic projection made of a large crystal matrix.

Rebecca and the technical team led by her used hundreds of projection devices to create a small section of additional mountain outside the northwest ridge of the Dark Mountain, and maintained this illusion to this day!

In this way, after the "Dawn of the World" is completely completed, it only needs to close the shield and projection over the valley, remove the high-altitude lighting mechanism, and the entire sky fortress can be directly lifted into the sky!

In addition, even without considering the "Dawn of the World" as the core goal of the project, the holographic projection array covering the valley itself is a valuable experimental technology, although its basic unit is not complicated In this world, magic illusions that look like real ones have been used by mages for tens of thousands of years as antique crafts, but hundreds of thousands of small illusion units are combined and superimposed to create such a large-scale joint projection, and let them It is unprecedented to run stably for such a long time-this thing can be used in the hidden project of Project 115 today, and it can be expanded and transformed into prototypes of many equipment that are quite practical on the battlefield in the future.

The vast deck of the sky fortress "Mortal Dawn" is bathed in brilliant sky light, and the brilliance cast by the giant sun outlines a series of light and dark silhouettes between its blue and white armor belt and the superstructure. , its main control brain is floating in the wetware host container located in the core compartment of the fortress, and its countless nerve fibers are spread all over the steel body, and the sensing points distributed all over the upper deck transmit sunlight back to it Touch with the wind - warm, bright, fresh, comfortable.

The only pity is that the deck made of steel cannot carry out photosynthesis.

"Before the next system adjustment, the sky will continue to open for three days and three nights. During this process, we will test the environmental adaptation and visual functions of the Sky Fortress," Rebecca said, "Dawn of the World, you can Get a taste of the sun and the stars, and the wind in nature—and then we’ll close the dome here again, and wait until the next time it opens, and that’s when you’ll actually be in the air.”

Immediately, the neutral synthetic voice of the fortress mastermind came from the Magic Net terminal: "Yes, the creator, Your Highness Rebecca, I am very much looking forward to that day..."

At this moment, a low humming sound suddenly came from the sky, interrupting the sound of the Dawn of the World, and also attracted Gawain's attention. The latter subconsciously looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw A huge hexagonal shadow is rising from the dense forest on one side of the mountain wall, slowly moving towards the northeast in the sunlight, several large and small anti-gravity rings are floating at the bottom of the shadow, the escaped The emitted shimmering particles formed a hazy trail in the sky.

The hexagonal flight device is obviously several times smaller than the "Dawn of the World", but it is still much larger than any "Dragoon" aircraft currently in service, and its chassis structure is also obvious. It's very simple, you can't see any pre-installed weapon stations or protective mechanisms, but there are a lot of large connectors like blank interfaces reserved on the edge - the whole is like some kind of simple but durable high-power universal chassis .

It flew over full, as if it was just conducting a short-range test, and after a while, it slowly landed somewhere in the north of Base 115, which was already out of sight of Gao Wen and others.

"That's our general-purpose aerial platform 'Gorgon I'," Rebecca smiled happily, and said to Gao Wen with a hint of pride, "The project that Marin Leslie is in charge of, we just The prototype test has been completed, and now it is testing whether the mass-produced frame produced by the No. 2 factory is qualified—it seems to be in good condition, and if the parameters meet the standards, it can be delivered to the First Legion and the Brothers of the Holy Light. "

"So fast?" Gawain looked at Rebecca in surprise, "I remember not long ago you were arguing with Heidi about the budget of the general air platform..."

"Of course it's fast, that thing is much simpler than the structure of the Sky Fortress," Rebecca waved her hand, "Basically, it is a strong enough foundation frame with several high-power anti-gravity engines welded on it, and then the chassis Lay a set of nervous system in the ground, and then give it a brain. No need to consider the deadly engine interference like the sky fortress, the power spine can also directly use the general model that is ready-made in the factory, even the magic net array is used directly in the cold winter The downgraded version of the No. [-] energy group—anyway, its role in a practical environment depends on the 'building' on its back. As a carrier chassis, it can fly safely and provide sufficient energy output ports That's fine..."

Speaking of this, she paused, and then added: "In fact, its structure is so simple that the prototype is directly welded with parts from the spare parts warehouses of several factories. It really flew—although it fell into the mountains soon...so I asked my aunt for an extra budget."

Gao Wen was stunned for a while listening, especially when he heard that they actually scraped a bunch of spare parts from the factory's old goods pile and welded a "prototype machine", even though he and When Rebecca discussed the concept of "universal air platform", she also mentioned that it is inferior to the air fortress, and it is downgraded, cheap, and quick. But he didn't expect that Rebecca's men The technical executives are even more reckless than her Imperial Steel Ball...

At this moment, the voice of the control mastermind of the Dawn of the World came from the magic net terminal next to it—several monitors on the upper floor of the air-sky fortress were still staring at the position where the "Gorgon I" landed just now, Its voice was full of envy: "That's great, Your Highness Rebecca, is that the 'sister' you mentioned to me? It has already flown so well...I haven't been in the air yet."

"Be patient." Rebecca glanced at the brain floating in the biomass solution in the holographic projection, "Your ascension is not a trivial matter—once the Sky Fortress is lifted into the air, unless there are special circumstances, Otherwise, you may not be able to land again in the next ten years or even decades, and your supplies, maintenance and even reconstruction will be completed in the air, and you might miss the feeling of staying on the ground by then.”

The voice of the Earthly Dawn was silent for a few seconds and then sounded: "...I don't know how to imagine that scene, but I will remain patient, Creator."

The corners of Rebecca's mouth turned up, as if she wanted to say something more, but at this moment, a rush of buzzing sound suddenly came from the magic net terminal, and an emergency call signal from Cecil City came Floating in the center of the holographic projection.

The expression on Gawain's face instantly became serious, and Rebecca immediately stepped forward to connect to the communication. The light and shadow on the holographic projection changed, and Hetty's face appeared at the front of the screen.

"Ancestor," her eyes quickly focused on Gao Wen, and said in a hasty tone, "Anomalies are reported from various places - several astronomical observatories and observation units at home and abroad have observed unknown disturbances in the atmosphere, and I have transmitted the relevant details to In the data communication room of Base 115, please take a look as soon as possible!"

Gawain and Rebecca immediately exchanged glances, and the latter reacted quickly this time: "You go and do your work first, I'll just watch here."

Gao Wen nodded, turned and left the high platform without saying anything. A few seconds later, his figure turned into a streamer and flew towards the office building of the experimental base in an instant.

After a while, Gao Wen arrived at Rebecca's office in Project 115 Base, and the base staff had already sorted out the data transmitted from the data communication room and sent them to the desk.

Flipping through the content described in those materials and some pictures "photographed" by magic techniques, his brows frowned a little.

The magic net terminal on the side lit up, and Hetty's figure appeared in front of Gao Wen: "Ancestor, have you seen all these materials?"

"I saw it," Gao Wen raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Where was the first one to report?"

"The Paramer Observatory first observed the abnormal phenomenon and reported it as soon as possible, and then the Observatory of San Sunil, the magic monitoring station of Winter Castle in the North, and the magic hub of Ten Forest City successively reported that similar 'disturbances' were detected "Hetty said in a hurry, her words corresponded to the information in Gao Wen's hand one by one, "We investigated this immediately and issued relevant warnings to the outside world, and then received a message from Typhon and the Silver Empire According to the feedback information, many qualified observation units in their country have also discovered the anomaly..."

Gao Wen nodded slightly as he listened: In order to deal with the endless and mysterious threats in this world, the Community Alliance formulated many "joint agreements" involving astronomical observation, magic power monitoring, and anomaly early warning at the beginning of its establishment. When the member states discover suspicious "anomaly warning signs", they will issue a warning to the alliance countries, and now it seems... This mechanism has really worked.

"We are not the only ones who have observed similar 'disturbances'. Its distribution ranges from the northernmost border of the Loren Continent to the southernmost Silver Empire, and it occurs almost simultaneously everywhere." Gawain frowned slightly, and lowered his head while thinking. Said in a loud voice, "The observatory first discovered the problem. When they observed the starry sky, they saw that the sky was full of interference noise, but the astronomy department was not the only one who reported the situation..."

"Yes, multiple magic power monitoring stations and magic web hub stations have discovered interference phenomena in the atmosphere," Hetty nodded, "At present, the possibility that the problem occurs in outer space can basically be ruled out-the interference occurs in our atmosphere , and probably not beyond the steady-state boundary."

Gao Wen was thoughtful: "The steady-state boundary layer...do you have more detailed data?"

Hetty shook his head: "Unfortunately, the duration of the interference is very short, and almost all the departments that detected the interference only had time to leave the routine data recorded by the normally-on equipment. Before the targeted records, the energy permeating the atmosphere disappeared. The most valuable piece of information so far is only the report from the Silver Empire Astrologers Association - the great astrologer Verania happened to be near the steady-state boundary layer at that time. Collecting high-altitude magic power data in the clouds, when she noticed the change in the magic power in the atmosphere, she quickly carried out a super-long-distance perception-finally confirmed that the interference was not limited to the mainland, but even spread infinitely towards the ocean, spreading to her as a legendary strong beyond the limits of the reader's perception."

“…so it’s very likely that this is a global phenomenon.”

"Yes, scholars from various countries currently suspect that this is a global phenomenon, and it is very likely that it is the result of the combined effect of the atmosphere and the surface energy field... Wait a minute."

Hetty stopped suddenly, and turned her head to look in a direction outside the screen. It seemed that a new piece of information suddenly appeared in front of her. After a while, she turned to Gawain, her expression becoming more solemn than before.

"Ancestors, news came from Antaveen that there was an abnormal change in the deep blue webway... The occurrence and end time were consistent with the time when 'intra-atmospheric disturbance' was observed in various places."

Chapter 1303 Rising Tide

In the boundless sea shaped by water elements, the current is surging, and a powerful wave is brewing and forming in the depths of the sea, and it quickly stabilizes into the appearance of a woman.

The Siren Queen Petya swung her fish tail, and accompanied by her guards and deep sea witches, she came near the "Dark Blue Vein" that was rushing like a river. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked the Sea Abyss Commander beside her. : "Sentry Coroline fell from here?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Commander Haiyuan bowed and responded, "It was an accident—an extremely fast cube suddenly appeared in the pulse flow. Coroline didn't pay attention, and lost her body after being hit by the war blade. balance……"

"Your Majesty!" The sentinel Vera couldn't help but stepped forward, "Has Coroline died yet?"

"We haven't found her at the assembly point yet—we can't rule out the possibility that she was washed too far away and reborn in other waters on this planet," Petiya slowly shook his head, "but no matter what, she can't do without her." If you open this planet, you can always come back."

After the voice of the deep sea lord fell, a huge giant swam over from the side. It was the water element lord who had just finished treatment at the outpost. He stopped at a distance from Petiya and brought With a little awe and vigilance, he looked at the "foreign water element boss" in front of him: "The big absorber, so what happened here?"

"We suspect that those guys who threw things in the dark blue network lane have already started to do it," Petiya said lightly, "This may be a test, or it may be an inevitable change after the number of those cubes exceeds a certain critical point... Whatever How, we have sent a warning to our allies, and hope that there will not be too many out-of-control situations in the future..."

The water elemental lord at the side couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this—don't let too many out-of-control situations happen, is there anything on this planet that is more "out-of-control" than these sea monsters? !

……

The cold wind is howling, the dust is flying, the air is filled with the pungent smell after the powerful magic power reacts with the air, a little bit of weak setting sun seeps out from the thick and dirty clouds, and the thin sky light covers the undulating mountains in the distance The edge is as dazzling as a piece of dried blood, and in the depths of the valley where the terrain is sunken, Sisters Fierna and Leierna are standing on the observation platform next to the dark blue rift, frowning and not saying a word.

"The rune stone we just dropped yesterday has lost contact again," the rustling sound of roots scratching across the rock sounded, and the tall patriarch Borken walked up from the side with a hoarse and gloomy voice, "almost There will be a rune stone 'disconnected' every four releases, and they are basically concentrated in two or three specific node intervals..."

"This means that there is a problem with the dark blue vein," Fierna interrupted without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "The vein may have passed through an extremely unstable boundary layer, or...something is actively Intercept and destroy the 'foreign matter' in that vein."

Borken stared at the elf twins with his brown eyes, and said sullenly, "Is there anything in this world that you don't even understand?"

"Hmph," Reina snorted, "omniscience is a stupid concept, we just know a little more than you in most fields-don't care about those runestones that have lost contact, and temporarily stop asking The problematic node range continues to be launched, and we still have many alternative routes..."

"Compared to those stones that have lost contact, what is more important is the 'test' we just completed," Fierna continued, "Yesterday, we performed a small power 'release' relying on the existing control nodes, and the large Your Excellency, you have witnessed the energy fields that permeate the entire atmosphere-now you should no longer doubt the knowledge we have imparted."

"Our theoretical model is valid, it is obvious, Grand Master," Riena looked into Borken's eyes, "the controlled dark blue webway can be used to create a 'paradise barrier' covering the entire planet, the selected The evolved ones can obtain permanent shelter within the barrier, and there will never be any more magic tides, and no more gods will be born - an eternal and safe world, as we promised at the beginning."

"...I hope so," Borken stared at Leierna's eyes with those dark brown eyes, "but don't forget that the energy field produced in yesterday's test is far from meeting the standard. The runestones we put in are far from enough, and the deep blue webway is not as easy to 'domesticate' as you promised. This planet is resisting our control, and now we have to face the dilemma of 'disappearing' runestones one after another. "

"Be patient, my Grand Priest, you need patience to do great things," Fierna smiled, and said unhurriedly, "You have been waiting here for hundreds of years, haven't you? You have watched patiently How your stupid and shortsighted compatriots failed so badly by being too impatient, and you don't want to go back to their old ways..."

Borken snorted, as if he wanted to say something more, but just as he was about to speak, a strange and carefree young female voice suddenly came from not far away: "What are you talking about?"

The elf twins and the treant leader on the platform were stunned for a moment, and then the three pairs of eyes suddenly turned to the direction of the sound. In the next second, even the leader of the cult and the "sentinel" who broke into the world could not control themselves The astonished expression on their faces—they saw a rippling water flow in the dark blue crack not far from their feet, and a female figure appeared in the magic power flow that did not have an entity. She has long lavender hair, wears a strange close-fitting armor that no one has ever seen on land, and holds a war blade that looks like a trident and a spear in her hand. The surface of her skin is shining with blue light, and her eyes are bright. He looked in the direction of the high platform curiously.

"What did you just say?" Noticing that the strange figures in front of her were just in a daze and didn't answer her own intentions, Coroline couldn't bear it when she was entangled in the dark blue veins and finally found an exit. I asked again, "What does it mean to tame the dark blue webway? What does it mean to control the planet? After all, who are you all? What are you doing here?"

She stretched her neck, looked around, and found that she seemed to be at the bottom of a big pit, and in the next second, her sight fell on another platform near the big pit. On the edge of that platform, Several black cubes covered with complex runes are neatly arranged, and it seems that they are waiting to be activated. The Siren Sentinel, who was still dizzy a moment ago, reacted instantly.

"Damn it, I know it! It's you who throw things into the dark blue network all day long!"

Until this time, Borken, who had been slow to react for half a beat because of his astonishment, finally came to his senses. He didn't bother to think about the origin of that strange woman who emerged from the dark blue webway, and he didn't care about thinking about how the other party did it. This kind of thing, just like every conspirator who is about to plan to be exposed, his first thought at the moment is to kill him immediately - he didn't even consider the feasibility of catching alive at all, because the other party just poked out from the dark blue network at the moment.
