Chapter 268 Deterioration

Sword of Dawn Text Chapter 268 Deterioration Since the last aberration attacked the camp, Gawain has never stopped paying attention to the magnificent wall. As someone who has witnessed the construction of the magnificent wall with his own eyes, he is more than anyone else. Know what that magic barrier means to the various races on this big 6 - even more clearly how unimaginable the consequences will be if there is a problem with that magic barrier.

Therefore, even in the most difficult situation of the territory, he still spent a lot of money to set up several observation posts near the southern pass of the Dark Mountains, monitoring the situation of the magnificent wall day and night - that pass was the one where the aberrations were reading the mountains. , The mountain gap that invaded the territory, it can be said to be the biggest weak point of the entire dark mountain barrier, and it is also the only "window" that can view the magnificent wall from a safer place.

Just this morning, information came from several observation posts. They observed a very strange "flicker" in the middle of the magnificent wall. The huge magic barrier dimmed a little, and then the whole became extraordinarily bright. The whole process lasted only a few seconds, but it was clearly visible.

It wasn't the entire barrier that flickered, and after flickering, the barrier returned to normal, which is the only good news: it doesn't appear to be at risk of full collapse, and the barrier's self-healing function is still functioning normally.

After receiving the report, Gawain didn't even attend the next Magic Obelisk launching ceremony. He locked himself in the study for the first time, and retrieved the satellite monitoring data of the recent period until he confirmed that there was no traffic around the territory. After a large surge of magical energy, and there were no abnormal energy readings in the direction of the Dark Mountains, I was a little relieved: the problem is still the Gondor Wasteland itself, and has nothing to do with the giant sun in the sky or the magical environment of the entire world.

"What has Soldrin been doing these two days?" Gawain suddenly changed the conversation and mentioned the bald strong man who was currently eating and drinking on the territory as a "captive".

Hetty thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "He has always been very cooperative and basically never leaves his place, but it is said that he and Pittman have gotten a little closer recently, but it is normal to think about it. Druid inheritance After all, it originated from the elves, and the two of them may have some common topics on the way of nature."

The corner of Gawain's mouth couldn't help but tremble, and he said in his heart that Solderin is indeed a strong man who will never give up lightly - he has not given up to cure his disease yet! Just put his mind on the unreliable counterfeit drug dealer of Pittman... Is Solderling planning to exchange all the commissions he has earned over the years for amulets and transfer ointments?

Only Gawain himself knew about Solderling's "truth of the strong".

So he couldn't explain anything to Hetty, he just ordered: "Go and find him."

It didn't take long for Solderling to come to Gawain's study. This "Typhon Officer", who was theoretically a prisoner of war, was not treated badly in Cecil Land, except for a little necessary surveillance. , his living treatment is almost on the same level as Heidi Rebecca and others, and he can move freely in most parts of the territory. When he showed up at this time, he greeted Gawain happily: "Hey! Gawain Let me tell you something, there is a..."

"Don't believe it, apart from the normal potions of the Druid system, most of the ointments he sold privately are fake."

Soldering: "..."

"The amulet is also fake. It is said that the ancient amulet found in the ancient ruins was taken from the scrap heap of the steel mill."

Soldering: "..."

"Don't believe the health care set - his head is mostly because of birth, and it is useless to believe that he is not of the same race as you."

Soldering: "...I'll go find him to splatter five steps with blood!"

"Come back!" Gao Wen glared at the strong man, "I have business with you!"

Soldering finally noticed the seriousness in Gawain's expression, and immediately became serious: "What happened?"

"You're a silver elf, right?" Gawain pointed to the chair next to him and let Solderin sit down at the desk, "How much do you know about the Great Wall?"

"It's true that the silver elves built the magnificent wall...but that's a matter for the magisters. I'm just a ranger with limited knowledge of magic." One of Solderling's strengths is that he's never in a field he's not good at Boasting, "What's wrong with the Great Wall?"

Gawain did not hide it, and immediately told the silver elf about the flickering of the magnificent wall and the aberration attack at the beginning of this pioneering land. At the end, he also mentioned the old Cecil. The disaster caused by the leader: "...The old Cecil Territory was also destroyed by the aberrations and the aura of the magic tide. You should know that the original Cecil Territory is not here, but the hilly land further northwest. "

The expression on Solderin's face became more and more solemn with Gawain's words. When he heard that similar aberration attacks had exploded more than once, his eyebrows were even wrinkled together. His unique green eyes were full of worry.

Humans with a short lifespan can completely forget the horror of a country-annihilation disaster in a few hundred years, but the long-lived elves are not a forgetful race. To this day, the time when they fought through the thorns in the wasteland of Gondor still occasionally reappears. In Soldrin's dream, he really knew all too well what Gawain said would mean if it were true.

"Are you sure that those are the 'Aberrations' we dealt with back then?" Soldrin confirmed it with some anxiety, and got a positive answer from Gawain: "It's impossible to admit that I'm wrong, I've been fighting them for decades. ——When he died, there were still a lot of people around him, how could he admit his mistake?"

Before I closed my eyes, Mom had a bunch of aberrations, and when I opened my eyes, Mom’s was still a deformed form. The last version of Lao Tzu was useless—this is what Gawain produced after inheriting Gawain Cecil’s memory. The most real feeling.

"The power of the magic tide is sealed inside the magnificent wall, and it is not normal to appear in the territory of civilization now..." Soldering frowned, and began to recall the knowledge about the magnificent wall, "Well... although I Not a magister, but I do know a little more about the Great Wall than you humans. From what I understand, the Great Wall is a magical barrier built on an ancient 'Adaptive Shield' technology, built on A series of 'Sentry Towers' on the borders of the Duo wastes, the shields of the magnificent walls can be adjusted to adapt to the complex magical environment in the Gondor wastes. You know, the magic tide brings chaos and disorder energy Surge, this kind of constantly fluctuating energy surge is its most dangerous feature, and only an adaptive shield can adjust itself at any time according to the fluctuation of chaotic energy, and always maintain sufficient strength protection with minimum energy consumption. …”

Gawain listened carefully and asked a question at this time: "In other words, if there are energy fluctuations in the wasteland of Gondor that are beyond the adaptation range of the shield, the magnificent wall will be 'unresponsive' and thus locally overloaded?"

"It's like this in principle..." Solderling said uncertainly, "but I heard from the wizards of the past that each sentry tower has a very large margin, and they are enough to deal with it. The large-scale surge that suddenly appeared in the wasteland of Gondor, and 50% of the Sentinel Towers in the entire protective barrier area are backed up. If the barrier really starts to overload, those Sentinel Towers will also immediately. Start to balance the load, and there won't be a serious problem like the temporary breakage of the barrier..."

"Ah, the spare Sentinel Tower, I have heard of it, there is such a setting," Gawain's memory showed the corresponding information, "Well... Have you ever returned to your hometown these years?"

"I only went back once three hundred years ago," Solderin smiled faintly, "it's really difficult to go back - there is a wasteland of Gondor in the center of the Big Six, and returning to the Silver Empire from the north of the Big Six requires a detour. With the entire Big 6 turning more than half a circle, I don't have my own gryphon or dragon eagle."

"Then how do you usually keep in touch with your compatriots? Or... do you still keep in touch with your homeland?"

"There is still contact," Solderling explained. "The Sentinel Tower itself has the function of magical communication, which can relay the communication signal from the Temple of the Stars - this function is used to monitor the situation of each Sentinel Tower. . There are barrier monitoring stations set up by the Silver Empire in the territory of Typhon and on the border of Ansu West, through which I can contact my motherland. But the frequency is not very high - the sentry tower can transmit limited information, outside There are many elves who have traveled."

"Then when was the last time you communicated with the Silver Empire?"

"Are you worried..." Soldrin realized Gawain's concern, "I'm worried that the maintenance of the magnificent wall has gone wrong, but the silver elves didn't tell the world?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, since the large-scale information network between the Gondor Empire and the Silver Empire collapsed, it has been difficult for human nations to get news of the elves in time. Today, there are only the southernmost Gao Ridge Kingdom and the elves on the Continent. We maintain direct contact, and the Gaolin Kingdom is the most mysterious of the four human kingdoms," Gawain said calmly, "Even if you don't consider anything else-now there is indeed a problem with the magnificent wall, the silver elf. There is no news from there, and this matter itself is worth worrying about, isn't it?"

Soldrin's face became solemn, and he did not hide his deepest concerns - although he has lived in the human world for many years, Soldrin himself is still a silver elf after all, and he can't let go of his hometown. .

"The last time I contacted my homeland was more than ten years ago... You know, according to the elves' concept of time, this was not long ago," Soldrin raised his head, looked at Gawain and said, "But now I I feel that I need to get in touch again... As a high-level ranger, I know many people who have some status in the Silver Empire, and may be able to inquire about the situation of the magnificent wall."

"You can tell them about the 'Resurrection of Gawain Cecil' by the way. I also have a lot of acquaintances in your Silver Elves, which can make your contacts more important," Gawain nodded, "Even if there is no internal Silver Empire If something goes wrong, it is also good for you to tell them the news of the temporary failure of the northern barrier. It is a warning to some extent - after all, the line of the Dark Mountains is the most difficult section of the entire magnificent wall to monitor. Maybe your mages are still there. I don't know what's wrong with the barrier."

Soldering nodded solemnly: "Okay."
