The Pinnacle Base of the Typhon Empire and the base built by the Cecil people have completely different styles - Judging from Gawain's perspective, if the Cecil Pinnacle Base embodies the power of magic industry, it is steel, The result of a mixture of machinery, crystals and magic, the Typhonian base is a costly magical wonder - this complex of buildings covers an area larger than the Cecil Spire Base, with more than 80% They are all "shaped" by the hands of the mages.
The Typhons opened their gates and sent out knights to guide the guests. Soldiers wearing black standard armor watched with curiosity and a hint of caution as the steel monster vehicles filed into the base. Gawain sat in the back seat of the first car, quietly observing everything in sight through the window. He saw many stone houses neatly arranged along a central axis. Several spire towers were scattered among the buildings. The hazy and illusory "Mage's Eye" was suspended on the top of the tower, and there were Soldiers wearing neat armor and being highly vigilant stood guard on several sentry towers outside the base, alert to all disturbances in the wasteland area.
It is orderly, disciplined and impressive.
While observing and thinking, the convoy, led by several Typhon knights, arrived in front of a stone fortress that was also "shaped" with magical power. Gawain saw a man with thick black hair and a serious expression. A middle-aged man is standing not far away surrounded by a group of knights. The man is wearing a black cloak that looks ordinary but is actually made of the fur of some high-level monster. He wears a dark blue coat and hangs it. Gold watch chains, ribbons and other accessories, his eyes were falling on the steel monster cars driving towards him, but Gawain could not see any emotional fluctuations in Emperor Typhon from his too deep and restrained eyes.
Hu Huo, who was also sitting in the back row, came over and whispered: "He is a little shorter than I thought."
Gawain responded casually: "That's because you are with me It’s too long to be around.”
As he spoke, several magic cars stopped in front of Rosetta Augustus, and then each car opened its side or tail at the same time. At the car door, the attendants and soldiers wearing blue uniforms or white light armor quickly got out of the car with surprising discipline and cooperation. In the blink of an eye, they formed guards on both sides of the motorcade. Then an attendant opened the door of the first car. The car door opened, and Gawain Cecil and his guards came out of the car.
Rosetta Augustus looked at all this silently and seriously, her eyebrows twitching slightly imperceptibly.
The Duke of Ansu neither led an entire army nor led a few strong men to the appointment as a legendary strong man.
However, he is still demonstrating...some kind of power, and the effect is remarkable.
After taking his eyes away from those magic vehicles again, Emperor Typhon took the initiative to meet Gawain who had already got out of the car. A smile was brewing on his face with difficulty: " It's an honor to meet a legendary hero like you - welcome to the TyphonsThe campsite is ready to welcome guests. "
"I am also deeply honored," Gawain stretched out his hand to shake hands with Rosetta Augustus. This highly versatile simple courtesy originated from the pioneering era and is still widely used today. He responded casually to the other person's politeness, "This is an impressive camp, and I can see the courage and perseverance it embodies. "
Amber stood behind Gawain, wanting to roll her eyes out of boredom. This "high-ranking person speaking politely" way of speaking made her drowsy, but she was afraid that if she really rolled her eyes, she would turn around. She wanted to be slapped on the wall by Gawain, so she had no choice but to hold back. At this moment, she suddenly felt a line of sight falling on her.
Looking following the feeling, she saw. Not far behind Rosetta Augustus stood a tall female knight. The young lady had gray hair shawl. She had a good figure and appearance, but her eyesight was quite cold, and she seemed to be hiding something. Hostility.
Amber blinked, and the relevant information immediately came to mind.
That should be the "Wolf General" of the Typhon Empire, Andesa Wendell. Because his father disappeared in the area controlled by Ansu, he remained hostile to Ansu.
Amber thought for a while and felt that he had found something to do, so he simply stared at Andersa. .
After a while, the young wolf general Andesa Wendell looked away slightly awkwardly.
She had never seen such a lack of self-cultivation. Because of his experience, he was at a disadvantage when looking at each other, and he couldn't help but have the thought: Are all Ansu people so barbaric?
Amber became happy because of this small victory and muttered softly. : "Yeah——"
The secret confrontation between Cecil's intelligence chief and General Typhon Wolf was not noticed by anyone. Almost all of Gawain's attention was focused on observing the situation in front of him. Emperor Feng did not speculate on the other party's character, and after some useless pleasantries, he and the accompanying Amber, Sonia and others were introduced to Rosetta's temporary palace.
A merger. It's not a rich meal, but it's a rare feast in this wasteland waiting for them.
It's impossible to grow plants in the wasteland, and the monsters running around are obviously difficult to serve as food. The supplies in Typhon's camp. Like Cecil Camp, it also relies entirely on supplies from the rear. Under such difficult conditions, even Rosetta Augustus can provide extremely limited hospitality, but it is obvious that no one really cares about this. The banquet itself...at least except for Amber,
After letting Amber go find food by herself, Gawain naturally came to Rosetta Augustus with a wine glass, and the people around him. She automatically moved back a little distance, leaving space for the Duke and the Emperor to talk while maintaining the escort mission.
"I hope you don't mind this shabby reception," Rosetta said with a hint of concern. Ruowu smiled, "Our supplies are not easy. ”
“The same is true over there."Gawain said calmly, "I can understand the difficult environment on the edge of the wasteland - in fact, the so-called 'difficulties' we face here today would have been unimaginably favorable conditions seven hundred years ago. At least we can now talk over a glass of wine in the relative safety of camp. "
He shook the gold wine glass in his hand slightly. The dark red liquid in the wine glass rippled slightly, reflecting an alluring brilliance.
"That's why we should cherish this even more. "The hard-won security and prosperity," Rosetta raised her wine glass slightly, "pay tribute to you and the pioneers who started all this seven hundred years ago. "
Gawain accepted the tribute calmly, and then Rosetta continued: "We are here today to ensure that this security can continue to be maintained, right? "
"Of course," Gawain said, calmly paying attention to every change in Rosetta Augustus's expression, "but not everyone hopes that this security will last long. Maintain, there are some insane people who will even take the initiative to destroy the safety barrier that allows us to survive. What do you think of this? "
"I heard about the traces of destruction you found in the Sentinel Tower... The harm caused by the cultists is shocking," Rosetta Augustus said in a deep voice with a solemn expression, "Sony Messenger Ya also talked about your concerns when talking about this matter... Frankly speaking, I not only think that this concern is necessary, but I should also be more vigilant against those cultists. I've sent the Shadow Master to inspect the nearby Sentinel Tower, but no signs of erosion have been found. Next, I will arrange a domestic search for traces of those cultists - they are not only active in Ansu, but also in the north and west of Typhon. "
"Crushing these dark sects requires the efforts of all of us, just like repairing the magnificent wall requires the concerted efforts of all human nations," Gawain seemed to be impressed by Rosetta's sincere and calm attitude. Touched by this topic, he said, "These seven centuries of peace and tranquility are based on the joint efforts of the original generation of pioneers. To say something based on seniority - I am very happy to see that your generation can still Unite in the face of crisis. Even if you have some contradictions and disputes, rational people can always abandon prejudices and barriers when faced with the disaster that hangs over all mankind. "
After saying this, he paused, without giving Rosetta time to think, and continued: "Seeing the scene of human countries coming to repair the magnificent wall, I can't help but recall that year. ...recalling those friends who fought side by side. I still remember Roland Augustus... He always had a straight face and would tell some outdated jokes. He was once very troubled about how to improve his sense of humor, and even asked Charlie for advice..."
Facts have proved that a person who has been resurrected from seven hundred years ago is holding a wine glass and discussing his ancestors with you, talking about how they talked and laughed happily back then. This is definitely the most embarrassing and weird thing in the world, even for the talented and resourceful Rose. Emperor Ta was hearing these topicsWhen speaking, you must also lower your head and make a gesture of listening carefully, and do not interrupt.
Seeing this situation, Gawain naturally continued the topic: "There is also Bertila... She is the most powerful Druid I know. Countless people were deceived back then. She treated..."
Rosetta's face did not show any additional emotional fluctuations. It was still plain and slightly serious, deep and reserved.
He just nodded slightly and said unhurriedly: "It is a novel feeling to hear things related to our ancestors from you... With you, they no longer It is a symbol in the history books and has become flesh and blood."
"Of course it is flesh and blood, we are all mortals," Gawain said slowly, quietly paying attention to Rosetta's eyes, "...It is said that. You have not been able to find the remains of Bertila Augustus... Is that so?"
"...I should be ashamed," Rosetta said in a deep voice, "The Saint of the Family?" Bertila's whereabouts were unknown during her tour of the Peak of the Ancestors, and her holy remains are still wandering around. Seven hundred years have passed...I'm afraid our hope of finding her is slim."
Gao Wen said quietly. He looked at Rosetta for two seconds, then looked away.
He did not mention the possibility that the "missing" Bertila, like most of the druids who were near the Peak of the Ancestors, would join the darkness, because this would exceed the limit of "temptation" , seemed overly provocative and offensive. Although he could be more willful in this regard due to his status as an ancestor, he decided not to mention it in order to avoid ruining the atmosphere too early.
If Rosetta had no special reaction after hearing the name "Bertila Augustus", then even if Gawain made further tests, the other party would probably remain calm.
After that, Gawain consciously led the conversation in a more relaxed and natural direction, and while tasting the food and wine at the scene, he gradually began to discuss some customs of Ansu and Typhon. and legends.
The atmosphere gradually became relaxed during this process. Both of them tacitly did not discuss any topics about how the two countries were on the verge of war three years ago, and whether there are still hidden dangers of war today, just like all There is no confrontation or friction, as if Rosetta didn't know anything about it, and Gawain didn't care about it either.
An ancient man from seven hundred years ago, and a contemporary emperor, one talked about the customs and customs of the Great Development Period, and the other talked about the evolution and development of modern society. They talked happily like old friends. The topics seemed to be endless, which made Amber, who had just finished foraging and was satisfied with the food, strolling over with a chicken bone in his mouth, stunned.
The half-elf lady stopped and whispered softly: "Old fox..."
Then she heard Gawain speak on a topic related to trade: "... ...In fact, we can expand our cooperation to a wider area than repairing the barrier, such as trade - we can exchange what we have."
Amber Blink.He blinked and chewed the chicken bones in his mouth.
Another victim is about to fall into the trap.
