After talking about the most sensitive issues, the communication between Gawain and Solderin naturally became much more relaxed - for the time being, they no longer considered the tense relationship between Typhon and Ansu, nor discussed Cyprus. With the decline of the Sear family and the current chaotic domestic situation, the two people chatted again like friends from seven hundred years ago.
At least, that's how it seems from Solderin's perspective.
"Actually, when I first heard that you were establishing a pioneering territory in the south, I believed you were true - after all, it seemed like something you would do," Solderin laughed. Then he said, "For a person who has been out of touch with society for seven hundred years, it is not your style to return to the aristocratic circle and quarrel with others. It is probably easier for you to open up land in this barren land."
"The main reason is that the intrigues are really meaningless, especially when they are still a group of juniors." Gawain waved his hand, "It's too awkward to get along with each other. Whenever I think of those people being the descendants of those old guys, I always feel... "I feel weird."
Gawain just made an excuse to stay away from the aristocratic circle of the royal capital, but Solderin thought about it seriously, and he remembered what he had seen along the way. The astonishing prosperity of the Cecil Territory, I also thought of the weapons and equipment of the Cecil soldiers, which can be called black technology, and the special temperament they felt when facing the Cecil Combat Corps - that was different from ordinary nobles. The completely different belief and momentum of the private soldiers, although the momentum is still very immature, is enough to attract people's attention.
It would be understandable if only a small group of soldiers were like this, but all soldiers in the entire Cecil Territory are equally elite, which is worth pondering.
As an elf, and also the most astute ranger class among elves, Soldrin can deduce many things from his observation of details.
After the ancestor raised his coffin, he took a look at the domestic situation and declared that he did not want to quarrel with his descendants, so he ran to a remote place beyond the control of the king, and in less than a year he suppressed the situation. Overwhelming all conventional military branches in the world, and expanding the army crazily...
Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible. Having a father come home and see the living room in a mess, and then look at the naughty child covered in mud. Smiling faintly, he turned around and went to the kitchen to find a rolling pin!
Solderin was muttering here alone, but Gawain didn't know what the elf ranger had been thinking about in less than half a minute. He just pretended not to be there. He asked casually: "What is your specific position in Typhon's army?"
Solderin's expression was a little serious: "I can't tell my employer's secrets casually, even to the right person." The same goes for you - you should know my principles."
"I didn't ask you to tell me all about Typhon's border defenses," Gawain shrugged, thinking that this hairless elf really had a memory. He is still a principled guy, but there is no disappointment in his expression. He just asked casually, "Tell me what you can say."
"I am in the Winter Wolves Legion." EnderI fight under Commander Sha Wendell, but I have no real power or official position," Solderin said. "You also know that I am a foreigner after all, and it is impossible to hold great power in the human army - but Typhon The commission given is quite high and fairly fair. ”
“Andesa Wendell? Gawain frowned, "That young wolf general?" "
"You also know her? Solderin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, she is the descendant of that guy Tilian. She is a very talented girl. She is very strong in both personal combat and command skills. She will not embarrass her ancestors." It's just that she is a bit stubborn and has an obsession with revenge against Anzu - her father, Bard Wendel, disappeared on the border between Anzu and Typhon. She always believed that the Anzu people killed her. 's father. "
"Bad Wendel..." Gawain's expression was a little weird for a moment. He didn't know whether he should tell Solderin the truth about Bard having degenerated into a cultist of the Society of the Dead, but After thinking about it, he decided to speak out. Anyway, for the Cecil Territory, whether the news spread or not has no impact, "In fact, I met a cultist of the death of all things this year, and that person... I'm afraid it was Bard. "
Solderin was stunned: "What? ! "
Gawain told what he knew. The more Solderin listened, the more surprised he became: "How could such a thing happen... How could the former General Wolf, who had been missing for more than ten years, do this? Became a Druid of the Death Society? ! "
"God knows what happened in the middle. I didn't believe it at the beginning, but the reputation of the Mithril Treasure House is known to the world, and their information should not be wrong." Gawain shook his head, "Forget it, this matter Even if the news reaches Andesa's ears, she won't believe it. The paranoid Avenger doesn't have much judgment. Rather than these things that are far away, I now want to know how many troops there are in the Dark Mountains that have infiltrated from the Typhon Empire. "
The topic suddenly became sensitive again. Solderin showed a slight hesitation on his face. Gawain saw this and continued: "Solderin, I know your principles, but at this time, you put other things aside. The intelligence of the infiltration force tells me that it is best for everyone - you should know that my soldiers have wiped out an infiltration team, and as long as other infiltration forces are still operating in the Dark Mountains, it is only time for them to be caught by me Sooner or later it's a matter of time. You have chosen a path that looks safe, but is actually heading towards death - the only way for them to survive now is for you to tell me their route of action, and I promise to catch them alive as much as possible. "
Then they were sent to the mountains for mining - Gawain silently added the second half of the sentence in his mind.
"It's not that I don't want to cooperate, but I'm afraid you can't catch them now. "Solderin spread his hands and told the truth, "Before we set off, Andesa Wendell had received the intelligence and imagined the situation in which you were really resurrected and the infiltration force fell into your hands. ——As long as the home team I lead is in danger, or more than two teams lose contact, the others will immediatelyLeave the Dark Mountains with the intelligence you have collected, and return the same way you came from or take a circuitous route back to the border from the wild forest in the north. The retreat route is completely random. This is to prevent someone from telling you anything else after being captured by you. human position. "
Speaking of this, Solderin added: "We will use the communication bug every few hours to confirm the location and safety of each team. Now everyone must be aware of it. Something happened. I have observed your soldiers, and with their speed of movement and the conditions of the mountainous roads, they cannot catch up. "
"...It is indeed an elite unit of the Winter Wolf Legion, and it really leaves no loopholes." Gawain shook his head helplessly, and could only give up the attempt to infiltrate into the Dark Mountains this time. The idea of catching all the Typhon troops in one fell swoop - the lethality of Cecil's soldiers with black technology weapons and equipment is indeed first-class, but there is really no special advantage in hunting down enemies in the mountains, at least not yet
However, he still has to take some actions - such as writing a letter to Duke Silas Loren in the East to let him pay attention to the Typhon Empire's winter infiltration operations.
The Dark Mountains are indeed. It is a good breakthrough point for carrying out infiltration operations, but Gawain believes that the Typhon Empire cannot only carry out such an infiltration. The entire Ansu-Typhon border is so long, and there are many complex terrains in the middle. It is difficult to guarantee that it will not happen. Used as a loophole by the enemy
After a long conversation, Gawain arranged a place for Solderin to stay. In view of the current complicated identity and position of the high-ranking ranger, Gawain allowed Solderin to stay temporarily. In a mansion not far from the Lord's Mansion, it is close to Knight Street. On the one hand, it gives the other party treatment consistent with his status as a high-level transcendent, and on the other hand, it facilitates monitoring and control.
Even if he knew that this high-ranking ranger would not cause trouble, he still had to show off to the people below.
After sending Solderin away in person, Gawain returned to the study. , only to find Amber standing at the door waiting for him.
“Are you still here guarding the door? Gawain was stunned for a moment after seeing this half-elf, "Why are you so obedient today?" "
"Look at the door, your eldest granddaughter and the electrician are waiting for you inside," Amber rolled her eyes, "They came as soon as you left. They have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
“Hetty and Kamel? Gawain frowned, "Then you don't have to stand at the door, they won't let you in." "
"Forget it, those two people were extremely excited in front of a stone and kept talking like crazy. I was just drinking tea next to them, and they insisted on pulling it off. I'm telling you about the spread of magic fields - my head hurts, so I might as well come out and wait for you." Amber waved her hands with a complaining look on her face, "You go in and take a look, I'll take a look at Anton and the gang. Basketball training situation. "
After saying these words, Amber disappeared into the corridor with a shadow step, without even leaving a chance for Gawain to reply.
Gawain was stunned.Watching Amber disappear into the air, he shook his head inexplicably and reached out to push open the study door.
Then he saw Hetty and Kamel who were discussing the issue eagerly, as well as the so-called "stone" placed in the open space in the center of the study.
There is obviously a problem with Amber's descriptive ability - this is not a stone, this is obviously a brand new and complex magic device!
"Ancestors!" Started, and then said together: "Look at this!" "An incredible characteristic!"
"Wait a minute, you two calm down first," Gao Wen knew that once the researcher had results What state will it be in, but he must let Hetty and Kamel calm down and explain the situation to him first, "Hetty, tell me, what is this?"
He pointed at the The device in the open space - its main body is a crystal that is cut into an approximate obelisk shape and is about one meter high. The crystal has a deep blue-purple luster, and the crystal itself is installed on a silver-white On the metal base, the metal base is roughly triangular in shape, with the center bulging upward and holding the crystal body firmly. A large number of magic lines and reserved fixing bolt interfaces can be seen on its surface. Obviously, it can be fixed and installed somewhere. On a flat surface, and on the top of the crystal, there is a smaller metal device, which is like a smaller version of the base, and the magic lines engraved on it can also be seen on its surface.
It’s amazing at first glance.
“Its main body is the purified and recast Holm crystal,” Hetty said excitedly with a glow on her face, “and this device will solve the problem of energy transmission of the magic network—— It can spread magic power to a considerable distance in the form of a magic field!"
