Chapter 569 Incomplete Plan
Facing Soldrin's slightly awkward greeting, Sonia Frostleaf just nodded lightly: "At least she's still healthy."
The few people around Gawain were dumbfounded. They rarely dealt with elves. It was impossible for them to think in advance that this elf lady who seemed to be only a few years older than Rebecca would be Solderin's mother. Yu politely, everyone restrained their overly surprised emotions well - only Rebecca's "wow" was the only surprise.
However, Gawain expected such a situation after seeing Sonia Frostleaf. He was very indifferent, and said casually: "Why haven't you seen it for so many years, is it so indifferent?"
Soldering shrugged helplessly, while Sonia glanced at Gawain: "He hasn't come home for seven centuries."
Gao Wen: "..."
There was nothing he could say.
"We have arranged accommodation for you, and I hope you can still get used to the human room," Hetty, who was on the side, spoke at the right time to ease the delicate atmosphere of the scene. As she spoke, she looked at the huge raptors in the square. "If these giant eagles...can they live in a griffin's nest?"
Although Cecil has begun to promote magic net communication, the function of griffins as messengers is declining, but in order to deliver important letters and undertake part of the reconnaissance work, Cecil City still retains a basic griffin team and griffin nests such an infrastructure.
"Okay, the giant eagles don't choose a place to live," Sonia nodded. "The Oran Ranger will tell you how to settle these giant eagles. In addition, please settle down the gryphons that are occupying their nests, and calm down... their emotions."
A male elf in green leather armor stood up. He should be the "Orland Ranger" mentioned by Sonia.
The person in charge of managing the Griffon Nest began to hand over the ranger, while Sonia and other elves followed Gawain to the direction of Qiugong.
The giant eagles that landed on the square seemed to be a little uneasy about this strange city. One of them raised his head and made a loud cry in the direction of Sonia: "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!!"
Sonia stopped helplessly, turned her head and said loudly to the huge bird of prey: "Take some courage! You are a giant eagle!!"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and continued to walk forward. Gawain was surprised when the giant eagle spoke. He looked at Sonia in surprise: "What's the matter with this giant eagle?"
"It's called Cuckoo,
I just hatched it 40 years ago." Sonia pressed her finger to her temple and couldn't help shaking her head, "Damn, I shouldn't have let Master Heart of Thorns help me... Moon Valley is full of pigeons! "
Gao Wen: "..."
Fortunately, all these short episodes did not affect the next welcoming process. According to the scheduled plan, the Autumn Palace prepared a sumptuous welcome banquet for the messengers and a rest environment that was more in line with the aesthetics of the elves. , In the living room of Qiugong, Sonia Shuangye handed over the two letters she had prepared to Gao Wen.
One of the letters is sealed with a hollowed-out wooden seal, with pale green vines and leaf decorations visible on the seal, and the mark of the elf royal court on the fire lacquer on the seal, while the other letter is sealed in a light gold metal seal , the seal is marked with the sword and shield of the Ansu royal family.
Obviously, one was given to him by the Elf Queen, and the other was from Silver Castle.
Of course, in name at this moment, the second letter should be "signed and issued by Silver Castle and Eastern Border."
Gawain glanced at Sonia, neither of the two letters was opened, but said casually: "Now, you are both the messenger of the Silver Empire and the messenger of Saint Sunil."
"Strictly speaking, I'm just submitting this letter to you on behalf of Silver Castle. Elves cannot represent any human being, I'm just a messenger," Sonia said, "The messenger of Saint Sunil City—and the messenger of the East The team is still in preparation, but it should have already set off at this time, they are fast, they should come to you within half a month."
"We want both face and interests, not giving in to each other, and being jealous of each other. At the same time, time does not wait for anyone... In the end, it became such a nondescript situation. Letters bearing the royal seal had to be delivered by elf messengers," Gao said. Wen sneered and shook his head, "Regardless of those unworthy descendants, let's just get down to business - I know the general situation, and I know your intentions to come to the human kingdom. How bad is the state of the barrier now?"
"All sentry towers have been damaged to varying degrees. The effective power of the entire barrier has dropped to 70%. It is currently stable, but the self-healing function of the system has been half-stopped. If the next impact is overloaded, 100% unbearable," Sonia did not hide the slightest bit, in front of the human hero who had experienced the magic tide, she directly told the truth that would cause mass panic outside, "We have no ability to reproduce the sentinel. The core components of the tower, the current situation is that there are no accessories, no replacements, no complete restoration program."
After a pause, she said again: "I have already contacted the Duchess Victoria Wilder, she mentioned that you had issued several warnings to the capital, and I also saw the warning messages you wrote. If my judgment is That's right, the initial overload should have started from the northern part of the wasteland - it's just that at that time you... Anzu people's monitoring of the magnificent wall was completely useless, and no one noticed the omen and vision, and waited for the aberration to invade Anzu , which is the time period when the aberration you mentioned in your first warning destroyed Old Cecil, the harbinger has turned into substantial damage."
Gawain frowned: "After that time, I have organized people to restart the remote monitoring of the magnificent wall, and I haven't seen anything unusual for a long time."
"The self-healing system covers up the faulty node, and by the time you re-monitor the barrier, it's already 'normal', but unfortunately it's just superficially normal," Sonia said solemnly, "actually... the fault has been spreading , from one sentry tower to another, and to this day, the entire barrier."
Hetty, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask: "Isn't your monitoring system aware of it? A situation like this kind of failure continues to spread... Shouldn't there be an early warning mechanism?"
This is exactly what Gawain wanted to ask, but Sonia shook her head slightly: "This is exactly what we are investigating recently - the Sentinel Tower should sound an alarm, even if the self-healing system is temporarily repaired and malfunctions occur. There should be at least one fault record transmitted back to the highest control center of the Temple of the Stars, but in fact all systems cannot find these records... In the past few years, all the data returned by the Sentinel Tower are everything is normal."
Gawain and Hetty couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Is it a deeper fault? Or is someone doing something?" Gawain asked with a serious face.
"We are investigating the situation of the early warning mechanism, and we are also sending magisters to check each Sentinel tower along the barrier," Sonia said slowly, "but no problems have been found so far. The monitoring of the entire magnificent wall is continuous. Yes, no suspicious points were found in the system, and in addition to the monitoring system, we also set up a large number of monitoring posts around the wasteland. , will be found, there is no chance that anyone will have the opportunity to destroy those towers. We really don't know what went wrong."
Hearing Sonia's words, Gawain exhaled softly, and then said, "Anyway, according to what you said, we actually missed an opportunity to repair the magnificent wall..."
"And it's the best chance," Sonia sighed, "At the time of the initial failure, the Sentinel Tower hadn't had any substantial damage, and we had a chance to repair it completely... But it's useless to say this, the initial failure Don't talk about other Ansu people when it happens, even you should still be lying there..."
Sonia was a little embarrassed to say this, but Gawain was very calm: "I was still lying in the coffin at that time - when I woke up, I saw that there were aberrations everywhere, according to you, that time should have passed the last Time for repairs."
When he died in battle, he was fighting aberrations, and he woke up seven hundred years later and was still fighting aberrations. The so-called previous version was just talking about Gawain's situation.
"Stop talking about things that are beyond repair, but talk about the status quo," Gawain ended the regrettable and slightly embarrassing topic and returned to the right track, "You mentioned just now that there is no complete repair plan. , did you bring any other plans?"
"Building an augmentation device outside the wall. This is an incomplete repair and reinforcement plan. We brought the materials—" Sonia said, and took a silver-white cylindrical device from another messenger beside her. , the device looked like a scroll, but when Sonya injected magic into it, a clear holographic image suddenly appeared at the end of the "scroll". In the projection created by this illusion, a huge tower The devices, as well as a large number of intricate runes and array structures, are constantly switching between pictures.
Sonia placed the "scroll" upright on the table, and continued while maintaining the holographic projection: "This plan is to build an associated 'sub-tower' outside a part of the Sentinel Tower to provide additional energy for the Sentinel Tower and undertake part of it. Barrier pressure. At the same time, a series of 'pressure relief points' are established between the Sentinel Tower and the sub-tower to gradually guide and release the chaotic magic energy accumulated near the Sentinel Tower to the outside of the barrier in a safer way, and release the pressure at the pressure relief point. Clean up nearby..."
Gawain immediately grasped the key point in the other party's words: "Have you found a way to purify the magic tide?"
"Seven hundred years, we didn't do nothing," Sonia smiled, but there was still a hint of reluctance in that smile, "This device can't purify the entire wasteland, and it can't purify the magic tide. A part of the Chaos Magic energy is extracted from the barrier and purified with limited efficiency. The main purpose is to reduce the load on the Sentinel Tower and decompress the repair system. The effect is limited, but better than nothing."
Gawain looked at the complex rune arrays and the exploded diagrams of the devices in the illusion and magic, his eyes were solemn and condensed.
This is the technology of the elf, which is different from the human form of magic, but the essence and laws are still in line with the description of rune logic. It seems to be able to resist the pollution of the magic tide... Although it is only a little effect, it is indeed effective.
It is true that the Silver Empire is declining, but after all, it has accumulated accumulations that are currently unattainable for human beings. Before the accumulations are exhausted, they can still produce such amazing technological achievements.
After just a few seconds of thinking, Gawain raised his head and looked into Sonia's eyes: "Then let's not waste time - which area should be built? How many sub-towers and pressure relief points will be built? How much manpower will be required? Material resources? When will the construction start? How long is the construction period left for us?"
A few neat questions made Sonia couldn't help covering her forehead and sighed: "My God - if those human nobles in Saint Sunil can have half of your consciousness and efficiency, we might have set off to repair at this time. Barrier!"
