Since the last time the aberrations attacked the camp, Gawain has never stopped paying attention to the Magnificent Wall. As someone who has witnessed the construction process of the Magnificent Wall, he knows better than anyone the impact of that magical barrier on this continent. What it means to the various races on the planet - it is clearer that once there is a problem with that magical barrier, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So even in the most difficult situation in the territory, he still spent a lot of money to set up several observation posts near the southern pass of the Dark Mountains to monitor the situation of the Grand Wall - that pass day and night. It is the gap in the mountains where the aberrations originally traversed the mountains and 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" through which the magnificent wall can be viewed from a safer place.
Just this morning, intelligence came from several observation posts. They observed a very strange "flash" in the middle of the magnificent wall. The huge magic barrier dimmed slightly, and then The whole thing became extraordinarily bright again. The whole process lasted only a few seconds, but it was clearly visible.
It was not the entire barrier that flashed, and the barrier returned to normal after the flash. This is the only good news: it seems that there is no risk of complete collapse, and the self-repair function of the barrier is still there. normal operation.
After receiving the report, Gawain did not even attend the subsequent launching ceremony of the magic obelisk. He immediately locked himself in the study and retrieved the satellite monitoring data of the recent period. It was only after confirming that there was no excessive surge of magic energy around the territory, and that there were no abnormal energy readings in the direction of the Dark Mountains, that I felt a little relieved: the problem was still the Gondor Wasteland itself, and not the giant sun in the sky or the entire world. The magic environment has nothing to do with it.
"What have Solderin been doing these two days?" Gawain suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the bald man who was currently eating and drinking in the territory as a "prisoner".
Hetty thought for a while and said uncertainly: "He has always been very cooperative and basically will not leave the place where he lives, but it is said that he has been a little close to Pittman recently, but I don't think so. It's normal. After all, the druid heritage comes from elves, and the two of them may have something in common on the way of nature."
Gawain couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, thinking that Solderin was indeed a man. A strong man who never gives up - he has not given up on curing his alopecia yet! He just set his sights on Pittman, that unreliable counterfeit drug dealer... Is Solderin planning to exchange all the commissions he has earned over the years for amulets and transporting ointments?
Only Gawain himself knew about Solderin’s “strong truth”, so he couldn’t explain anything to Hetty. He just ordered: “Go and find him.”
p>
Not long after, Solderin came to Gawain's study. This "Typhon officer" who was theoretically a prisoner on the battlefield was not treated badly at all in Cecil territory, except for one thing. Apart from the necessary surveillance, his living conditions are almost the same as Hetty'sRebecca and others are on the same level, and 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, your territory There is..."
"Don't believe it, except for the normal potions of the Druid system, most of the ointments he sells privately are fake."
Sold. Lin: "..."
"The amulet is also fake. The ancient amulets claimed to be found in ancient ruins are all taken from the scrap pile of the steel factory."
Soul Delin: "..."
"Don't believe the health and hair care thing - he has so much hair because he is born with it, and he is not of the same race as you. It's useless for you to believe it. "
Solderin: "...I'll take five steps to get him covered in blood!"
"Come back!" Gawain glared at the strong man, "I will. I have business with you!"
Solderin finally noticed the seriousness in Gawain's expression and immediately became serious: "What happened?"
"You are? Silver Elf, right?" Gawain pointed to the chair next to him and asked Solderin to sit down at the desk. "How much do you know about the Great Wall?"
"It was indeed the Silver Elf who built it? The Magnificent Wall... But that is a matter for the magisters. I am just a ranger and my understanding of magic is limited." One of Solderin's strengths is that he never brags in areas he is not good at. "The Magnificent Wall has What's the problem?"
Gawain didn't hide anything, and immediately told this man everything about the flashes at the Great Wall and the aberration attacks that occurred at the beginning of this pioneering territory. Silver Elf, at the end, he also mentioned the disaster in the old Cecil Territory: "...the old Cecil Territory was also destroyed by the aberrations and the breath of the demonic tide. You should know that the original Cecil Territory was not here. place, but the hilly land further to the northwest."
The expression on Solderin's face became more and more solemn as Gawain spoke, until he heard about similar aberrant attacks. After breaking out more than once, his eyebrows almost knitted together, and those green eyes unique to the silver elf were full of worry.
Human beings with short life spans can completely forget the horror of a country-destroying disaster in a few hundred years. However, the long-lived elves are not a forgetful race. To this day, those who brave the thorns and thorns in the wasteland of Gondor This period of time still occasionally appears in Solderin's dreams. He really understands what Gawain said if it were true, what it would mean.
"Are you sure those are the 'abnormals' we dealt with back then?" Solderin confirmed with some uneasiness, and received an affirmative reply from Gawain: "It's impossible to admit my mistake. After fighting with them for decades - there were still a lot of people around me when I died, how could I possibly admit my mistake?"
Before I closed my eyes, I saw a bunch of aberrations. When I opened my eyes, Mom... It's still an aberration, I fought in vain in the last version - this is Gawain after inheriting the memory of Gawain CecilThe most realistic feeling ever produced.
"The power of the demonic tide was sealed inside the Magnificent Wall. It is indeed unusual to reappear in the civilized territory now..." Solderin frowned and began to recall the knowledge about the Magnificent Wall. , "Well... although I am not a magister, I do know a little more about the Magnificent Wall than you humans. As far as I understand, the Magnificent Wall is built based on an ancient 'adaptive shield' technology Magical barrier, relying on a series of 'Sentinel Towers' erected on the border of Gondor Wasteland, the shield of the Great Wall can spontaneously adjust to adapt to the complex magic environment in Gondor Wasteland, you know, the magic tide zone. Here comes the chaotic and disorderly energy surge. This constantly fluctuating energy surge is its most dangerous feature, and only an adaptive shield can adjust itself at any time according to the ups and downs of chaotic energy, always with the minimum energy. Consumption to maintain sufficient strength of protection..."
Gawain listened carefully and asked a question at this time: "In other words, if there is an energy fluctuation in the wasteland of Gondor that exceeds the scope of the shield, , the magnificent wall will be 'unable to react' and become partially overloaded?"
"This is true in principle..." Solderin said uncertainly, "But I heard that back then? The Elf Magisters have said that each Sentinel Tower has a very large margin. They are enough to cope with a sudden large-scale surge in the Gondor Wasteland, and there is still 50% remaining in the entire protective barrier area. The sentry towers are backed up. If the barrier really starts to be overloaded, those sentry towers will be activated immediately to balance the load, so there will be no serious problem like temporary damage to the barrier..."
< p> "Ah, I have also heard about the backup sentry tower. It has such a setting." Corresponding information emerged in Gawain's memory, "Well... have you ever returned to your hometown in these years? ?""I only went back once three hundred years ago," Solderin smiled faintly. "It's really difficult to go back - there is the Gondor Wasteland in the center of the continent. To return to the Silver Empire from the north, we have to circle the entire continent, and I don’t have my own gryphon or dragon eagle.”
“Then how do you usually communicate with your compatriots? Or... Do you still maintain contact with your homeland?"
"The contact is still there," Solderin explained. "The Sentinel Tower itself has the function of magical communication and can relay messages from the Star Saints. The communication signal of the palace - this function is used to monitor the situation of each sentry tower. There are barrier monitoring stations set up by the Silver Empire in Typhon and on the western border of Ansu. I can contact my motherland through them. . But the frequency is not very high - the information that the Sentinel Tower can transmit is limited, and there are many elves traveling outside. "
"When was the last time you communicated with the Silver Empire?"< /p>
"Are you worried..." Solderin realized Gawain's worries, "worried that there has been a problem with the maintenance of the Great Wall, but the Silver Elf has not told the world?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, since the collapse of the large-scale information network between the Gondor Empire and the Silver Empire, it has been difficult for human countries to get news from the elves in a timely manner. Today, there are only the southernmost Kingdom of Gaoling and the The elves maintain direct contact, and the Kingdom of Gaoling is the most mysterious of the four human kingdoms," Gawain said unhurriedly, "Even if you don't consider anything else - there is indeed something wrong with the magnificent wall now, Silver There is no news from the elves, so this matter itself is worth worrying about, isn't it?"
Solderin's expression became solemn, and he did not hide his inner worries at all - -Although he has lived in the human world for many years, Solderin himself is still a silver elf after all, and it is impossible for him to let go of his hometown.
"The last time I had contact with my homeland was more than ten years ago... You know, according to the elves' concept of time, this was not long ago," Solderin raised his head and looked at Gao Wen said, "But now I feel that I need to contact you again... As a high-level ranger, I know many people with some status in the Silver Empire, and I may be able to inquire about the situation of the Great Wall."
< p> "You can tell them about the 'Resurrection of Gawain Cecil' by the way. I also have many acquaintances among you Silver Elves. This can make your contact more important." Gawain nodded, "Even if the Silver Empire There is nothing going on internally. It would be good for you to tell them the news about the temporary failure of the northern barrier. It is somewhat of a warning - after all, the line of the Dark Mountains is the most difficult section to monitor in the entire magnificent wall. Maybe your magisters will arrive. We don’t know yet that there is something wrong with the barrier.”Solderin nodded solemnly: “Okay.”
