Chapter 1073 The Silver Queen

Time flies as the earth warms up, and the day that attracts the attention of all countries in the Loren Continent is finally approaching.

On the northeast border of the wasteland of Gondor, the No. 112 elf stronghold stands proudly between two mountains-this ancient elf gathering place was established more than 700 years ago, and it has served as the Far East outpost of the Silver Empire since its establishment. It is protected by mountains on both sides, overlooking the vast and dangerous Gondor wasteland to the southwest, and connected to the kingdom of mankind to the northeast. During centuries of service, this stronghold has been maintained like other silver strongholds. Following the principles of low-key, avoiding the world, and neutrality, even though it is on the border of a foreign country, it almost never deals with the local humans.

However, this tranquility was broken in the spring of Cecil's 3rd year: a world-renowned meeting and a series of negotiations will be held in this stronghold. The dignitaries, ambassadors and their entourages gathered here to participate in the meeting Even more than the number of elves settled here, in order to ensure the order during the meeting, the Silver Empire began to conduct personnel scheduling a month ago, gathering the elf wanderers who were active around the No. 112 stronghold, which ensured that Sufficient manpower ensured the whole process of the following meeting, but it also made the originally relatively spacious base No. 112 more and more crowded.

On the 20th of the Moon of Recovery, all kinds of flags appeared in the elf stronghold—representatives from various countries were arranged to live in hotels in the southern and northern districts, and the emblems of their respective countries they brought with them have become this outpost for hundreds of years The "new decoration" that has never been seen before, among the buildings with elegant lines and silver-white alloy frames, bright flags flutter in the wind, and under the flags, representatives of various skin colors, languages ​​and even races I am experiencing a short period of hustle and bustle after settling in, and take the time to observe the situation in the camp, chat with familiar representatives of other countries, and distinguish possible future partners and competitors.

On a wide street in the stronghold town, Rebecca, who finally had a chance to come out to take a few breaths of fresh air, widened her eyes and looked at everything in her sight with a look of surprise and excitement.

She looked towards the end of the street. In the center of the largest square in the town, a large building with a style completely different from the human world, which can be described as elegant and beautiful, stood in the sun. The upper structure of the building has three vein-like light alloy beams extending from its streamlined roof, flying over in mid-air and connecting to a white tower next to it. Several paths extend below the tower to connect to the nearby white houses.

And on both sides of the main road in front of that hall, two rows of tall flagpoles stood neatly, the flag of the Silver Empire was fluttering in the wind, and the magic power contained in the silk threads scattered light dust from time to time, like a dream. as charming.

"That's the Messenger Hall?" Rebecca's attention was obviously not on those magnificent flags and beautiful architectural styles. Almost all her interests were attracted by the complex and sophisticated transmission structure above the hall and the communication not far away. Attracted by the tower, "I have only seen it in the literature before... This is the first time I have seen the real thing."

"Yes,

Messenger Hall," Gawain stood beside Rebecca, he also looked into the distance with a smile on his face, "the highest crystallization created by the communication technology of the elves - the reason why our magic network communication can be realized, In addition to the technical accumulation of the Eternal Sleeper and the human's own communication spell model, in fact, a lot of experience has been drawn from the elves' related technologies... You and Jenny did this together, you should be very impressed . "

"Yeah, so I've always wanted to see what their communication facilities look like with my own eyes, and today my wish finally came true," Rebecca nodded while talking, then turned her eyes and whispered to Gawain , "Hey, Master Ancestor, can I secretly..."

Gawain didn't wait for the girl to finish speaking, he bent his fingers and tapped her forehead: "No - put away your bold ideas, really want to study, go back and seriously draw up a technical exchange proposal to share with the elves Talk, don't make a diplomatic dispute."

Rebecca immediately covered her forehead with an angry expression: "Where do you think I am? I didn't say I was going in to dismantle something, I just wanted to go in and have a look, use their equipment or something It's... after all, I've never touched it before..."

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had wrongly blamed the girl, but before he could speak to comfort him, a slightly magnetic female voice came from the side: "This is absolutely fine, little princess—and you don't have to wait at all. When there is no one around."

Gawain and Rebecca turned their heads following the sound, and saw a petite blond elf lady standing behind them. It was the high-ranking messenger from the Silver Empire and Soldering's mother—Sonia Shuang Ms. Ye. This high-level messenger stayed in the northern part of the mainland as an exchange staff after the repair project of the Great Wall. She was active in the Cecil Empire for half of the time, and spent most of the rest of the time between the Cecil Empire and the elves in the border areas. She moved between the outposts, and she was regarded as the "host" of the Silver Empire in this meeting, so she came here to act as a guide for Gao Wen and others in the No. 112 stronghold.

"Ah, Ms. Sonia!" Rebecca greeted the other party happily after seeing the other party, and then asked impatiently, "Did you just say that I can go to the messenger hall?"

Sonia showed a slight smile: "Yes, you can do it at any time—in fact, few people know this. Although the messenger halls set up by the silver elves around the wasteland are only open to elves, under special circumstances, foreigners are allowed For example, if you need to send an urgent message, or an ambassador-level person makes an application, you obviously meet the second criterion here. Of course, this is only a theoretical requirement, after all... our communication device requires the use of elf spells Activated, except for a few druids among the aliens who can use special methods and devices to generate inductions, others basically can't even operate..."

Listening to Sonia's narration, Rebecca thought about it seriously, and then shook her head sincerely: "Then it sounds like the magic net terminal is easier to use, at least anyone can use it..."

"Indeed," Sonia thought for a while, and admitted frankly, "'Everyone can use it', this is the unique advantage of magic devices, and even our great astrologer, Your Excellency Verania, appreciates it very much." Appreciation, but the rune logic system that can overcome the barriers of elf spells and human spells and is effective under any spellcasting system is even more amazing. Now our astrologers have begun to study the mysteries behind rune logic, maybe one day , you will also see the magical products produced by the Silver Empire."

Rebecca nodded while listening, and finally returned her eyes to the messenger hall in the distance: "I still want to go and have a look - although it can't be used, I can observe how your communication device works. It is said that your The communication tower can clearly send the signal hundreds of kilometers away without relaying, this distance far exceeds our magic network hub... I am particularly curious about how you do it."

"Of course." Sonia nodded immediately, "I have been authorized to release the technical details related to the communication facility to you - this is also part of the technical exchange between the Silver Empire and the Cecil Empire. If you are interested, I can send other messengers to take you to that hall right now."

When Rebecca heard this, she immediately became excited: "Okay, okay! Then let's go now!"

Sonia laughed, and I don't know when she said hello, then two young elf messengers came from not far away, saluted and greeted this side, Sonia nodded slightly to them: "Take Your Highness to visit the messenger Facilities—except for the part connected to the armory, she can visit them all."

The two elves said in unison: "Yes, Your Excellency the High Messenger!"

Rebecca happily followed the messengers and left, while Gawain cast his curious eyes on Sonia: "Why is the communication device still connected to the armory?"

"Because our communication system is also the monitoring system of the sentinel tower, although there is a security diversion inside the channel, the infrastructure is connected together," Sonia explained, "every monitoring station or border guard post has an armament depot, There are a large number of colossus golems that can be activated at any time and arcane balls pointing at the majestic wall, so that if there is a big problem with the majestic wall, the outpost can not only send back the alarm at the first time, but also have the ability to organize the first attack. A wave of counterattacks—even if the situation is completely out of control, and the high-intensity radiation in the wasteland instantly kills all the elves in the outpost, as long as the communication system of the outpost is still functioning, the headquarters in the Temple of Stars behind can still Remote control activates those armaments, and the automatic operation of the colossus puppet can buy some time for the rear."

After listening to Sonia's story quietly, Gao Wen sighed after a long time: "Seven hundred years have passed, and the elves are still so alert to that wasteland."

"Because the collapse of the Gondor Empire has only happened within a generation to us, and there have been problems with the magnificent wall in the past two years, so we have no choice but to be vigilant."

"That's right... seven hundred years, you need almost six hundred years from baby to adulthood," Gawain shook his head with a smile, "but then again, I don't remember anything about the armory... These things must have been built during my 'sleep' years?"

"Yes, this system was built under the instruction of Her Majesty the Silver Queen Belsetia - Your Majesty believes that the radiation intensity in the wasteland has not declined for a long time, and the number of wandering aberrations has not decreased significantly, which means that the Gondor wasteland It will not purify itself over time as some scholars thought, in order to strengthen the defense, she ordered the establishment of this system, which was about three centuries ago."

"Belsetia..." Gawain repeated the name in a low voice, and then suddenly smiled, "You came here suddenly at this time, you should be sending a message for your queen, right?"

"...It seems that I can't hide it from your eyes," Sonia breathed out, and bent slightly, "To His Majesty Gawain Cecil, the Silver Queen Belsetia Morningstar would like to invite you to enjoy afternoon tea, the place In the little garden of Oak Hall—would you like to go?"

"Of course, idleness is idleness anyway, and I'm also very curious about what Belsetia has grown up to after all these years," Gao Wen knew that the Silver Queen had arrived here a few days before arriving at Stronghold 112. , also expected that there would be such an invitation today, he nodded happily, "Please lead the way - I am not very familiar with this outpost."

...

Led by Sonia, Gawain left the main road in the center of the town. They passed through the urban area already occupied by envoys from various countries, passed through the town's power hub, and finally came to a secluded and tidy longhouse. ——This place is already located in the deepest part of the entire town. From the outside, there is nothing special about it except that the houses are taller. However, the royal guards standing at the door and wearing enchanted armor remind those who stray into this place that there is an identity A person of great reverence is staying temporarily in this longhouse.

Gawain recalled those inherited memories—those words and deeds from Gawain Cecil, those detailed impressions about Belsetia, he was sure that everything was matched, and then ordered the following attendants and While the guards waited outside, he followed Sonia into the longhouse.

After passing through the main hall and a small corridor, he came to the small garden at the back of the house. The power of magic filled the courtyard, making the plants here flourish in all seasons, exotic flowers and plants and lush tropical trees. In the middle of these luxuriant plants, exquisite round tables and seats are placed in an open space. A beautiful woman with long golden hair, a beautiful platinum ring, and an elegant and noble demeanor is quietly Sitting at the table, the two elf maids stood behind the woman.

Gao Wen blinked - although he had seen Belsetia's current appearance in the audio-visual materials from the south of the mainland before, after seeing it in reality, he still found that the other party's temperament was different from what he remembered. There is a huge difference.

It is completely different from the hairy girl who ran around in several camps dragging her nose and causing eight disasters a day.

He paused at the entrance of the garden for a while—this was a very normal reaction—then he smiled and walked towards the silver queen who was famous all over the continent: "Bersetia, long time no see."

"Seven hundred and thirty years, Uncle Gawain Cecil," the beautiful queen suddenly laughed, and the majesty and aloofness that had been lingering on her body loosened a lot, and she seemed to suddenly become alive , and got up and made a welcoming gesture, "It's hard to imagine that we can meet again in this form."

"Uncle..." Gao Wen was stunned, with a subtle expression on his face, "It's been a long time since I heard it—you're already this old, do you still call me that?"

What he said somewhat made Sonia who was following behind him feel a little weird—what a revered status the Silver Queen is, especially for this generation of Silver Queen. Her wrist and the increasingly powerful Silver Empire under her rule The entire continent is famous, and many people are in awe of her, but here, there is a human being who can say "you are already this big" to her so naturally... but this sentence is still logical.

"This is a private occasion," Belsetia laughed, obviously she also thought that Gao Wen's words were normal from beginning to end, "If you have to be dignified as a queen when chatting, then I really have a chance to relax for a moment It's all gone."

Gawain looked at the other party, and after a while he smiled slightly and said, "That's fine."
