Chapter 548: Witnessed again

After emerging from the psychic network, Gawain immediately received Amber's report.

"...Basically, this is the situation," the half-elf lady said at the end of the report. "At present, the situation of the magnificent wall is normal, and there is no sign of the aberration approaching. It seems that it is just the south of the Dark Mountain. A collapse occurred at the junction of the foothills and the Black Forest - due to the influence of the mountain, the outpost could not see the specific situation. "

"...I understand," Gawain pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "pay close attention. Regarding the situation of the Grand Wall, we also arranged for the security team in the Disobedient Fortress to inspect the southern part of the fortress. If the mountain collapses, the southern corridor of the Disobedient Fortress may be affected."

After making these arrangements, Gawain was not there. The Magical Technology Research Institute stayed longer, but returned directly to the Lord's Mansion on the grounds that it needed a rest.

After returning to the study room where the environment was relatively stable, he immediately called the satellite channel in his mind.

The special overhead view from space came to mind, and the images from the orbital monitoring satellites appeared in front of Gawain's "eyes". He carefully controlled this ancient system and focused the monitoring on the dark mountains. The location where the southern foothills meet the Black Forest.

He was looking for traces left by landslides or earthquakes. The old satellite system was struggling to operate, and the unclear picture showed an image of a slowly moving rotten wasteland. After several minutes of scanning and difficult comparison, his gaze suddenly stopped.

There is something there, on the extension line of Cecil City pointing due south, within the scope of the Black Forest, there is something, but it is not the remnants of landslides, rock collapses or earthquakes. Instead it was a mark that looked like some kind of impact crater.

After the camera was zoomed in, the picture was not clear enough, and the background color of the rotten wasteland made it extremely difficult to distinguish the details of the picture, but Gawain could still see the radial folds around the ring area. As well as the giant trees lying outward around the impact crater - it can neatly destroy the giant trees dozens of meters high, which shows that the impact is extremely strong. Judging from the smoke and dust in mid-air, the impact crater was created not long ago. appeared.

What is that? Did something fall from the sky?

Gawain looked at the huge impact crater in astonishment. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, he was almost certain that the impact crater in that shape was not caused by the demonic tide.

At this moment, he desperately hoped to go to the scene immediately to investigate what it was. However, the location of the impact crater was at the southern foot of the Dark Mountains - he had to climb over this majestic mountain range to reach the devil. At the forefront of the tide of corruption, that position is too dangerous.

Although as the development of the territory is on the right track and the power in his hands is gradually getting stronger, Gawain is already considering taking more active actions in the Gondor Wasteland and has also made some plans to establish a new territory at the southern foot of the Dark Mountains. Observation stations or forward base plans, but it is obvious that these plans are just plans - for now, CecilThe country is not yet ready to cross the dark mountains.

Soldiers carry equipment while walking from the southern foot of a steep and steep mountain range. They have to pass through large areas of corrupted mountain roads with fragile structures and areas covered with toxic demonized vegetation. It is extremely difficult to get down the mountain, whether carrying supplies or calling for the rear. Support is extremely difficult, and once you encounter a crisis, it is almost impossible to survive...

However, you can also send a few top elites there instead of sending out soldiers, or you can go there yourself - the legendary powerhouse is here It is still possible to move at the southern foot of the Dark Mountain, but... is the impact crater worth the risk?

Gao Wen was thinking, the sudden impact crater made him very concerned, but at this moment, something else suddenly broke into his surveillance field of vision.

......

Thin clouds quickly passed by on both sides, and the cold air flow was cut by the huge wings, whistling past the huge body covered with scales, with blue The adult dragon with colored scales was hovering high in the sky, and in her huge, gem-like eyes, she reflected the scene of the devastated land below.

Corrupted mountain rocks are layered on top of each other, and various twisted and mutated demonic plants grow wantonly between the rock layers. The soil appears an unknown purple-black color, with a thin layer of mist floating on it. , this area corrupted by chaotic magic energy extends all the way south from the Dark Mountains - the Black Forest, the Strip Plains, the Great Wall, and finally the Wasteland of Gondor - all the way to the terrifying dark blue magic storm, which It's a place that even a giant dragon would be afraid of.

The dragon flapped its wings and adjusted its angle in the air. Her eyes swept across the border of the black forest, and a huge impact crater that was still emitting smoke appeared in her field of vision.

She hovered high in the sky and began to call out the obscure ancient dragon language magic. As the magic power surged, a pale golden rune light screen appeared in the air. The mana shield blocked the sound of the howling wind outside. A stable conversation environment is prepared for communication.

A female voice came from the dragon's mouth: "We have arrived at the coordinates, south of the Dark Mountains, and witnessed the crash crater, which is very large."

The surface of the pale golden rune light screen danced With complex symbols and lines, a slightly distorted voice came from the light screen: "...Received...Please come closer and observe. Pay attention to safety, it is very close to the magic energy pollution area, don't fall in it."< /p>

"I know, I will be careful," Blue Dragon said carelessly, "Actually, this place is quite far away from the real pollution area. I think flying south should be..."< /p>

Before Lan Long finished speaking, a serious voice immediately came from the light screen: "Don't do unnecessary things - have you forgotten the lesson you learned last time?"

"Part 1 It's not my fault, and I just made an emergency landing without aiming..."

"The jury was deeply impressed by your crash landing, but we don't plan to watch it again in the short term - —Please focus on the task at hand."

The blue dragon shook his head from side to side.Bag seemed to be quite impatient, then she cut off the communication, flapped her wings suddenly, and began to quickly lose altitude.

On the edge of the black forest, smoke and dust were still billowing in a huge impact crater. The powerful impact force that had erupted previously blew away large swaths of vegetation around the crater, leaving large radial areas on the edge of the crater. There were cracks, and in the center of the huge crater, in the deepest part filled with smoke and dust, a twisted and deformed metal remains was still hot.

The strong wind suddenly blew up, dispersing the smoke and dust that hit the bottom of the pit. The blue dragon fell from the sky, and with a heavy landing sound, the huge body stopped firmly in the impact pit.

"I'm still pretty stable."

Blue Dragon softly underestimated, then took steps to the bottom of the impact pit and came to the still hot metal debris. forward.

It was an alloy device about two to three meters long and less than half a meter in diameter. Although it experienced the ultra-high temperature entering the atmosphere and the terrible impact when it fell to the ground, the basic shape of the wreckage was still intact. , it is roughly in the shape of a cylinder, and both ends have been broken. Many burnt cables and tube bundles extend from the fracture, and some raised structures can also be seen on the surface of the cylinder - various characteristics indicate that this piece of debris It was peeled off from a larger entity.

"...Sigh...As expected..."

The blue dragon let out a sigh, and then she stretched out her huge claws and grabbed the one that still contained astonishing heat. Alloy device.

"Recover the wreckage."

The huge wings stirred up the air and the magic in the air, bringing the dragon's huge body to high altitude. After reaching the signal transmission height, she first She hovered in place for a while, seemingly hesitating whether to explore further, but after hesitating for a moment, she still opened the communication.

The pale golden rune light screen appeared in the air again, and a slightly urgent voice came from the rune light screen: "How is the situation? Is the thing confirmed?"

" The falling object has been confirmed to be a fragment that fell off Glow Station 1 or Glow Station 2. It looks very much like part of the gravity calibrator - it was probably still working when it fell, and it released a huge amount of energy the moment it hit the ground. An astonishingly large crater was blown up here. Alas, the scholars were right."

"It really is the Glow Space Station..." The voice in the rune light screen paused for a moment. "The devices left behind by the sailors... are all reaching the limit of their lifespan."

"It will break down one day. Aren't we already mentally prepared?"

The blue dragon fell silent, hovering in the high-altitude wind, seemingly speechless, but half a minuteAfter a while, she suddenly broke the silence: "Not necessarily."

"Huh?"

"Maybe there will be a change this time."

In the light screen The voice that came out was suddenly a little surprised: "A turning point? Which one are you talking about... let alone those elves or those sea monsters in the distant sea. The inheritance of those elves has been interrupted long ago. Those sea monsters... God knows who those sea monsters are. What are you thinking?"

"It's not them, it's humans." The blue dragon shook his head from side to side. "Strictly speaking, it's the country established by the resurrected humans... It seems interesting. ."

"That human named Gawain Cecil?" The voice on the light screen was a little surprised, "Ah, his resurrection is impressive, and his development is indeed unexpected... ...But you see hope in him to break the situation? Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure, but there is a phenomenon that might scare you," Lan Long said, "In his In the Principality of Cecil, the power of the Holy Light is developing, but the power of the God of Holy Light is declining."

"...Unbelievable!"

"But this. It's true." Lan Long said firmly, but just when she was about to continue saying something, a strange feeling of heart palpitations suddenly interrupted her.

Under the influence of some intuition beyond human understanding, the blue dragon immediately determined the source of this palpitating feeling. She suddenly flapped her wings and left the hovering position, and then circled while trying to raise her head to see. To high altitude.

"No way, come again?!"

The dragon on the other side of the light screen heard the blue dragon's shout and immediately asked about the situation: "What happened?!"

"Another sense of spying from an unknown source... coming from directly above!" The blue dragon was rampaging at high altitude, his tone was quite crazy, "Damn... I still think it came from the direction of the satellite... Are you really Are you sure that the sailor has not returned?"

"It's completely confirmed - in short, you need to leave the current location as soon as possible and go to the western gathering point, there will be people there to pick you up."

"I want to get rid of it..." Blue Dragon shouted while desperately changing his flight path in the air, "The key is that I can't get rid of it... Damn it, I'm afraid I have to perform that again..."

"Ah?! You have to think carefully..."

"There is nothing to think about. If you hesitate, you will crash - I think I will definitely succeed this time."

......

Gawain cut off the satellite connection with some fatigue and frustration.

Lost again.

The situation was exactly the same as last time: after continuing to monitor for a period of time, the dragon noticed the prying eyes from outer space, and then quickly changed its flight direction in an incomprehensible maneuvering way. , completely disappeared from sight.

But one thing Gawain is sure of: the dragon that appeared this time should be the same one he saw when he monitored the treaty fort last time.

(Yo!!)
