Due to the special tradition of the Silver Elves, about one-third of them will choose to travel outside their hometown to increase their knowledge and gain knowledge after they reach adulthood. Most of them will not travel beyond the southern border. The Kingdom of High Mountain, but for those elves who like challenges and are curious (and in urgent need of hair restorer), only traveling across the entire continent can prove that their lives are not wasted (or that there is really no cure for hair loss).
The monitoring stations set up around the Grand Wall are not only the maintenance and monitoring centers of the Sentinel Tower, but also an important base for the elves traveling on the continent to contact their homeland.
Walking on the streets of the town, looking at the familiar-style hometown buildings around me, looking at the faces of compatriots coming and going, I always hear the friendly Elvish language that seems to have some kind of rhythm in my ears. Solderin felt quite emotional: This is the second home established in the northeast of the mainland by travelers who have been away from home for many years. The elves gathered here are all people who have lived away from home for many years in human society. , as long as you listen carefully, you can hear the vicissitudes of travel experience in the accents of these elves who are far away from their hometown - at least half of the elves have a Northeast accent (note)...
Note: Northeast Refers to the northeastern part of the mainland.
"I have almost forgotten the tone of pure Elvish." Solderin smiled, shook his head, and said to Berna beside him.
"Your accent is still very pure now," Bernarda blinked, and then asked a little curiously, "By the way, what were you and the guard talking about just now? I think it took you a long time to pass the inspection. ..."
"Nothing, just talking about the situation. After all, this is very close to the border between Anzu and Typhon," Solderin replied casually, "It's you, there is something wrong with your badge?"
"It seems that the activation structure is broken. It should have been broken by the magic trap inside when we explored a ruins last time." Berna scratched her hair, "But fortunately, the guards were not too Make things difficult for me."
Solderin nodded and pointed to a certain building in front of him: "I want to go to the 'Messenger Hall' to contact my friends back home. What about you?"
p>"I want to go too!" Berna nodded immediately, "I haven't contacted my friends for a long time, especially my tutor - I don't know if she has paid back her gambling debt."
The corner of Solderin's mouth suddenly trembled - the druid sage of the Moon Valley was really worried about his future, and after finally closing the mountain, he opened the door again to accept disciples because he owed a bunch of gambling debts, but he said it again Speaking of which, Master Heart of Thorns’ early morning seems to have not been saved...
The Messenger Hall is located in the center of the town. It is a beautiful white building with a typical silver elf style: the overall appearance of the hall is It is oval in shape and has layers of white roofs that look like petals. Three vein-like light alloy outer beams extend along the curved roof and converge at one end of the hall - where, Light alloy outer beams converge into a long bridge, which leads to the base of the communication tower not far from the hall.The two buildings are thus connected into one.
The Messenger Hall is an auxiliary building of the Communication Tower. Its function is to allow the elves traveling abroad to contact their hometowns and report what they have seen and heard in the field. The elves send messages here, and the information is sent through the communication tower. The amplification and broadcast of the tower are sent to the Sentinel Tower, and finally transmitted back to the Silver Empire, where they are received and processed by the giant sky fortress "Temple of Stars" floating above the Silver Empire.
In the Silver Empire, there is a specialized department responsible for handling magical communications from all over the continent. This department called the "Wind Talkers" is located in the center of the Temple of the Stars. They transmit magical messages from all over the continent. The information is summarized, useful intelligence is transmitted to the royal court, and ordinary communications are forwarded to the broadcasting device of the Temple of Stars. Through the powerful antenna of the Temple of Stars, all elves in the entire Silver Empire can listen to messages from the mainland at any time. Greetings from distant relatives and friends.
Solderin and Bernard entered the messenger hall together.
The cold northern air is blocked by the invisible curtain at the entrance of the hall, making the entire hall warm and pleasant.
In the center of the hall, you can see more than a dozen pillars that look like thick tree trunks. There are rune metal devices extending around each pillar. Those are "terminals" used for regular communications, and in You can also see many neatly arranged small doors around the hall. Those are "private rooms" that require an additional fee. Elves who want to maintain privacy or transmit sensitive information can choose to rent them for an additional fee. Those rooms, however, are not cheap.
In the northern region where elves are rarely seen, people have a wrong impression of the silver elves. They always think that this race that lives in the forest, is close to nature, and lives a long and elegant life is otherworldly. It is thought that they are not familiar with business and do not understand human relations, but this is not the case.
Silver elves still need to do business, and they still understand the power of economy and money, but their long lifespans have led to some of their views and behaviors on money being misunderstood - someone learned from the Silver Elf He borrowed money from his hands and never paid it back or was called upon, so others thought that the Silver Elf did not understand the value of money. Little did they know that a hundred years later, the Silver Elf who came to ask for debts would smash the heads of the debtor's children and grandchildren - if later If the person intends to default on the debt.
Solderlin did not go to the free communication terminals, but went directly to the reception desk in the lobby, took out a few silver coins and placed them in front of the manager: "I need a room."< /p>
These silver coins are not the new currency minted by the Cecil Territory, but the coins of the Typhon Empire. In order to avoid trouble, Solderin changed all the currencies before setting off.
"I want a room too!" Berna's voice came from the side.
Solderin glanced back and saw the lively elf girl giving him a silly smile.
Solderin frowned: He opened the room because the matter involved confidentiality. Could it be that this carefree-looking girl alsoAre you here to report a secret?
But he didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, after getting the magic badge that activated the room, he said goodbye to Berna and left the counter.
Solderlin entered the private room he rented for money and confirmed that the magic mechanism on the door had been automatically locked and the magic barrier that blocked the sound was functioning normally. Then he turned around and went to the magic door at the end of the small room. In front of the guide device, press your hand into the groove at the top of the silver-white metal column.
The ancient mysterious elven runes emerged from the surface of the magical metal. Solderin heard a slight noise coming from the bottom of the device. After a moment, the communication was connected, and there was a dense mist of light. Floating at the top of the magic device, the blurry figure slowly became clear in the mist.
A silver elf with a sweet smile waved to Solderin: "Windspeaker 0287, hello, sisters who are traveling far away."
"Ahem, I am a man," Solderin coughed lightly, "High-level ranger Solderin Frostleaf."
The image in the mist seemed to be still.
Probably the network is stuck.
"Hello, brothers who are traveling far away," the Wind Whisperer in the light mist made noise again, but this time her smile seemed a bit stiff, "Do I need to contact your family? Or Do you want to report what you saw outside?"
"Report some situations first," Solderin's expression became serious. As a high-level ranger, he must be different from ordinary elves traveling outside. Not only is he undergoing personal training, but he is also responsible for sending back important information at any time. "Urgent, major, needs to be forwarded to the royal court."
The receptionist opposite has already verified that Sol Delin's identity immediately became serious: "It has been transferred to the confidential line-please tell me, respected senior ranger."
"First of all, it is about the magnificent wall-recently, the magnificent wall There have been at least three incidents of aberrations breaking through the blockade in the northern part of the wall, two of which hit the Ansu border and one hit the Typhon border. I personally experienced one of them...
"I suspect that the Northern Sentinel. The tower is faulty, but the monitoring station seems to have found no abnormalities...
"I hope the Royal Court can launch an investigation."
Solderlin first reported about the magnificent wall He could see that the Windtalker receptionist opposite was very nervous and attached great importance to this information, and the other party's reaction confirmed one of his previous conjectures:
Silver Empire did not find out barrier issue.
“The second thing I want to say is also very important,” Solderin continued after concluding his report on the Great Wall. “The leaders of the human northern pioneering army seven hundred years ago. One, Gawain Cecil, you should know?"
"Yes, many people know him"
"He was resurrected a while ago." Delin said seriously.
The image in the haze seemed to be still for a while.
Maybe the network is stuck again.
"There are indeed precedents of resurrection from the dead in the world," a moment later, the image of Windtalker 0287 became active again, "However, there has never been any case of resurrection after death for seven hundred years. Is this information true? Or...is it related to the resurrection of the undead?"
"I have personally contacted him, and he is indeed resurrected," Solderin said seriously, "and the reason for his resurrection is related to necromancy. It's irrelevant, it was a mixed-blood elf with silver elf blood who awakened him."
"A mixed-blood elf? Is it a hidden druid sage?"
"No, it's a sage. The thief pried Gawain's coffin while digging the Cecil family's ancestral grave, and awakened the latter," Solderin sighed, "I know it's hard to believe, but it's true."
The image in the haze seemed to be still again.
Solderin thought about it carefully and felt that... the receptionist was probably stuck.
At the same time, in another room, Berna had put her hand on the console of the communication device.
However, she did not activate the device directly. Instead, she used her other hand to take out a small magic item from her arms and placed it on the surface of the communication device.
It was a delicate golden disc, shaped like a pocket watch. After Berna injected magic power into it, the disc bounced open a gap, and several of them had a metallic luster. The slender tentacles came out of the gap, looking for their target dexterously.
Two of the metal tentacles wrapped around Berna's fingers, and several other metal tentacles penetrated into the seams of the magic device.
The elven runes on the surface of the magic device began to flicker violently, but after a few seconds, everything returned to calm.
Berna smiled. The innocent and lively expression had completely disappeared from her face, replaced by a strange charm and laziness. She injected magic power into the magic device and used a A low and hoarse voice called:
"How is the scenery in the wasteland of the empire?"
