Chapter 880 It’s not a bad thing

The sense of voyeurism and faint warning coming from the soul gradually faded away. However, Melita and Noretta didn't fully recover until a few minutes later - at this moment, the powerful dragon also You will realize one fact very clearly: Even though dragons are the rulers of the sky in the eyes of mortals and are aloof extraordinary creatures in legends and stories, in essence, dragons... are just a race of mortals.

"Is this...a direct warning from God..." Noretta bit her lip with a very bad look on her face, frowning and said, "It's a different feeling from soul punishment, but the same feeling. Uncomfortable..."

"This is just the mildest 'reminder'," the speaker's voice came from the throne of the soul. The voice seemed to be a little older, "Children, are you not? She would want to face the real 'warning' from the gods."

After a few seconds of silence and hesitation, Melita couldn't help but speak: "...What on earth is that signal? ? Why shouldn’t we listen?”

Speaker Andal gave the young blue dragon a deep look.

Melita, she is one of the more outstanding and daring among the younger generation. Her many years of activities in the human world have allowed her to develop a character that is different from other dragons, which has also allowed her to thrive in this world. Even in this situation, I still dare to ask one more question.

However, the Dragon Clan needs such a young generation.

"In this world, every race has only one chance to look up at the stars." The old speaker lowered his head and looked at the two young dragons, his tone was low and deep, "I missed it. , I will miss it forever."

...

Heragor bowed his head respectfully and humbly. The middle-aged dragon priest stood on the ground with blond hair. Next to the god, his mouth was pursed tightly, as if he didn't dare to say a word.

And the graceful and luxurious god stood at the end of the palace terrace, standing under the skylight approaching dusk. She overlooked the country ruled by dragons in the temple close to the clouds, her eyes seemed to It did not fall on any specific thing, but Heragor, who could feel the power of the gods, knew that at that moment, there were countless transcendent "eyes" that mortals could not understand, watching the mithril treasure house and the review. In the direction of the regiment headquarters - this kind of gaze has not happened for many years.

"My lord," Heragore maintained a humble posture and spoke in a low voice for a long time, "perhaps it is just the reckless behavior of some young tribesmen..."

The air was filled with emotion. There was suffocating silence, and Herago seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, but after a few seconds of silence, the blond figure at the end of the terrace finally spoke, his tone sounding gentle and unhurried: " Don’t be nervous, I can distinguish between intentional offense and unintentional mistakes.

“There was just an accident. A young dragon came back from outside, but she didn’t know what she brought back. ——This mistake should not be punished. ”

Listen to the other party’s faint wordsAfter answering, Herago finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he did not see that the blond figure at the end of the terrace turned his back to him and showed a complicated and incomprehensible smile after he finished speaking. The smile seemed to be filled with helplessness.

"He" raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, his sight seemed to be looking through the clouds and atmosphere into the depths of the starry sky.

"A signal..." The Dragon God said softly as if talking to herself, but her words gradually made Heragor, who had just relaxed, tense up again, "The human civilization on the opposite continent ...It did create some surprises. Is it called the Cecil Empire? Its ruler is a human hero who came back from the dead?"

"Yes, my lord, Heragore immediately lowered his head and replied, "The name is Gawain Cecil. He was active in the northern part of the Loren continent seven hundred years ago. He came back from the dead a few years ago."

"Heh." ...Resurrection from the dead. How can it be so easy for a mortal to achieve such a level of resurrection?" Dragon God smiled and shook his head, "He...maybe an interesting person. I'm starting to get curious about him."

......

Sitting in front of his most familiar desk, the warm summer breeze blows into the house from the open window. This summer afternoon is pleasant and relatively leisurely, but Gao Wen But suddenly he shivered inexplicably.

Hetty, who was sitting nearby sorting out some documents, noticed this scene and immediately asked with some concern: "Ancestor, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing," Gawain shook his head. Shaking his head, there was a confused expression on his face, "I just suddenly felt a chill, as if I was being targeted by something... strange."

Gawain's tone was very indifferent, Hetty But he immediately became serious and gave Gawain a serious look: "The intuition of a legendary strongman? Do you feel malicious prying eyes?"

"No, it's not that serious..." Gawain Looking at Hetty's serious look, she couldn't help but shook her head in laughter, "It was probably just a distraction. I didn't feel prying, let alone malicious."

"It's better to be cautious. Okay," Hetty was still serious, "Legendary powerhouses like you can often produce extremely strong intuitive predictions. When it comes to your own safety, this intuition is even close to the legendary 'precognition' - now the country has just begun Not long after getting on track, all key projects and projects are at a critical moment. I don’t know how many enemies are hiding in the dark looking for opportunities to sabotage. I suggest that the security work in the imperial capital be strengthened in the near future to check the people entering and leaving to prevent assassinations.”

"This is a bit much..." Gao Wen looked at the great-granddaughter in front of him with a dumbfounded look, "How can I go to such great lengths just because I shivered - and in terms of security, there is Amber and the Military Intelligence Bureau led by her. Operators and Solderin's Iron Rangers have nothing to worry about."

Hetty thought for a moment and may have realized that her reaction was a bit excessive: "You're right. But it doesn’t hurt to be a little more vigilant recently.”

“Okay, okay, I will pay attention, I will pay attention,”Gawain waved his hand. At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he had really become an old man who was being nudged and urged by his juniors. He felt helpless and saw that Hetty seemed to still want to speak, so he immediately took the lead and said, "You are a big boss. …”

All Hetty’s words were immediately choked back.

"We can talk about the security issues later," Gawain said, smiling and shaking his head, "Let's talk about the matter at hand. News came from Typhon, Our neighbors... are probably about to discover the role of the inversion array, and it won't take long for them to make breakthroughs in communication technology and all other technologies that require the use of divine-arcane hybrid energy."

Gawain spoke calmly, but Hetty's eyes widened for a moment: "Reverse Array?! Are the Typhons cracking the Inverse Array?"

"Don't be so surprised, Gawain glanced at Hetty and said calmly, "Although the inverter array is a technology of ancient Gondor, it is just an advanced idea. The technology and implementation process are not complicated, and we have a lot of equipment to use the inverter array." , some of which will fall into the hands of the Typhons sooner or later; furthermore, after the events of the Upper Narrator, the Typhons are also harvesting the technology of the Eternal Sleepers, and they will inevitably encounter the problem that divine runes are not compatible with other runes. , they will naturally realize that Cecil has solved this problem, they will guess that there is some kind of 'conversion technology' behind it, and they will definitely start to study it."

At this point, Gawain. After a pause, he shook his head with a smile: "Finally - not all the smart people in the world are in Cecil. Typhon also has its own talent pool. And from the perspective of accumulation of knowledge, they are probably only more talented than us. Quite a bit."

"...But it's too fast," Hetty said with a frown, "Even if the technology of the inversion array is simple, the key is the idea... If the thinking is unclear, it is possible for the project to be delayed for several years. How could the Typhons have identified the key to the problem in such a short period of time and even started to take targeted measures... Ah! Damn it, it’s those defecting bishops! ” p>

Hetty suddenly thought about something, and a hint of anger appeared on her face: she thought of those Eternal Sleeper bishops who chose Typhon, and that among those bishops there were high-level leaders in the technical field.

The corresponding authority allows those bishops to master a large amount of technical information, and the unavoidable chaos of the Eternal Sleeper Order in the early stages of the evacuation gave those bishops who had long been interested in taking refuge in Typhon an opportunity to obtain information from various channels. Inquire about Cecil's intelligence - they may not be able to find out the core secrets, but technicians are always good at deducing deep technical ideas from some external information. They may have guessed some principles of Cecil's magic network communication. These things became the gifts of the Bishops of the Everlasting Sleepers who stayed in Typhon when they surrendered to Rosetta Augustus.

Gowen naturally thought of these things, but his attitude was very calm, and he even still smiled: "Don't be so angry, this is a situation that should have been expected.

"And the word 'defection' is not allowed eitherIndeed, strictly speaking, the transfer of the Eternal Sleepers to Cecil with the Archbishops was a 'defection'. For those who stayed in Typhon... their behavior could even be regarded as 'abandoning the darkness to the light'. "

"Ancestor," Heti couldn't help but look at Gawain, "Are you still in the mood to joke at this time? ”

“Is this a very critical time? Gawain shook his head, "Relax, Hetty, you are doing well in all aspects, but this too tight attitude needs to be changed, which will make you more tired." We had already predicted today's situation when the Order of the Eversleeping split internally and technical personnel flowed to Cecil and Typhon respectively. A large number of R&D talents and ready-made technological achievements fell into the hands of Typhon, and the latter was a secret. For a long-established empire with a large number of talented people, it is natural for a sudden technological breakthrough of this level to occur.

"On the other hand, the situation is not as serious as you think - although communication technology is indeed of great significance and can greatly improve the overall strength of Typhon people, but a technology from the laboratory to The distance that society has to travel... is far away."

Hetty blinked and looked into Gawain's eyes.

Gawain nodded and said unhurriedly: "Our magic network communication can be realized not only by the rune set of the Eternal Sleeper and a simple inversion array. It also involves a large number of engineering fields, machining fields, materials fields and runic logic, as well as the system adaptation behind this and the intervention of interests in countless related fields. Each of these problems is a difficulty for Typhon. To give just one example... Typhon once spent a huge amount of manpower, material resources and time to establish a communication system based on communication towers between major domestic cities and various military locations. Do you know what this means? "

Hetty gradually showed a thoughtful expression.

Gawain didn’t wait for Hetty’s answer, and continued on his own: “It means that hundreds of families have invested money in those communication towers, which means hundreds of thousands. Businessmen, nobles and extraordinary people are sharing the profits of those towers. The main managers and operators of those towers are the Royal Mage Association of Typhon, and the mages are not some noble people who do not eat the fireworks of the world - Magic Research But it requires a huge amount of financial support. A report by the Military Intelligence Bureau last year mentioned that nearly one-third of the annual income of the entire Typhon Royal Mage Association comes from the communication towers they control..."

Hetty's brows frowned slightly: "You mean..."

"The newer magic network communication technology is indeed more advanced than the communication tower, but before the Typhons completely solve the cost problem, The gap between the two has not yet reached the point where the former can completely replace the latter. Magic network communication is easy to use, but communication towers have been laid out on all major lines, so they are not unusable... This is the biggest contradiction," Gawain smiled, "We conquered this land, banned all the privileges of the old nobles, and built magic network communications from scratch. We don't need to face this kind of contradiction, but Rosetta Augustus made yes'Peaceful transformation' - Typhon's national communication does not entirely belong to the royal family, nor does it entirely belong to the nobles, nor does it entirely belong to the mages. It is a cake shared by all forces, which is a big problem. "

The corner of Hetty's mouth trembled, and she said leisurely: "Then it seems that the Rosetta Emperor will have a headache again watching his parliament argue under the triple spire.

But soon, Hetty couldn't help but shook her head: "But no matter what, the Typhons still mastered a new technology. Their wrangling is only temporary, but progress is inevitable." ——And the Typhons are not fools, Rosetta Augustus is a smart person, they know what is really important. "

"Yes, Typhon will make progress," Gawain nodded, and then he paused slightly before saying slowly, "But it's not a bad thing..."

...

In the depths of the Cathedral of Luan City, in the large library that houses countless precious classics, Archbishop Severn Terry, wearing a simple white robe and without any crown, is walking slowly. Walking among the tall and simple bookshelves, other treasurers and attendants in simple short robes were busy around him, carefully counting, recording, and moving the ancient books in and out. There were also special paperwork The staff set up tables in the open space between the bookshelves and carried out busy registration, copying, classification and other work.

Classifying, protecting and restoring ancient books is a long process. , complex and difficult work, extremely demanding of patience but unknown. What Severn Terry, the former progressive pastor of Luan City, is doing here today is to sort out and restore the church's collection of books.
