Gawain actually doesn’t know much about the Iron Man technology of the Gondor Empire. Although he has the memory inherited from Gawain Cecil, even Gawain Cecil himself did not know much about it. He was just a low-level knight apprentice from the Gondor border area. His limited knowledge came from a few rural teachers, and this level of education obviously did not involve much about "Ironman Technology".
According to Gao Wen’s own understanding, this technology is strong artificial intelligence + bionic robot, which is cutting-edge technology both on earth and in this world.
But in his limited knowledge, at least one thing is certain: all iron men belong to the "Iron Man Corps" from the day they step off the production line, regardless of whether they are sent to various places in the mainland. The legion was still sent to a certain border post, and even the Iron Men could not break away from this "corps". The relevant logic was written into the lowest level of their mental cores, and based on their own abilities... they certainly could not change it.
As a member of the royal family of Gondor in the past, Veronica/Ophelia obviously knows this too.
So after meeting an "Iron Soldier" who claimed to have left the Iron Man Corps, even she couldn't help but be surprised: "Leave the Iron Man Corps? How did you do it?"
Diana shook her head: "I don't remember. My memory device malfunctioned, and a lot of content was lost after it was repaired - I only know that I have indeed left the Corps, and there is a clear understanding of this in the core of my mind. Cognition."
Veronica looked serious. She took a serious look at this Iron Man soldier who had been active in the human world for some reason for hundreds of years, and her tone was as gentle as ever: "So, what are you doing now? To serve the Typhon royal family?"
"Yes," Diana nodded slightly, "They took me in and restored me, and I swear to serve their family."
"Gratitude...Normal iron men don't seem to be able to make this kind of logical judgment, but it doesn't matter." Veronica shook her head slightly, "Do you mind if I ask you a few more questions? "
Diana glanced at Veronica. After thinking for a moment, she nodded: "As long as it does not violate the oath I made to the Augustus family, and at the same time does not violate my Mental logic."
"Just some past events that have little to do with this era..." Veronica said gently, "Do you still remember where you were and what you did? ?”
Diana recalled briefly and nodded: “I was one of the guards of the Verplanton Observatory, responsible for protecting Sir Scott Planting and Mr. Alphonse Hall. "Safe."
"Then do you remember the outbreak of the demon tide? Were you still at the observatory at that time?"
"...This memory is partially defective, but it is generally OK. Restore," Diana hesitated a little this time, but then nodded, "I confirm that I worked at the observatory until the last moment before the demonic tide broke out, but the specific situation at that time has been lost.Impressed. ”
Veronica thought for a while and then asked: “What happens after that?” What do you remember? "
"Afterwards, there was a large gap in my memory. After my consciousness came back online, I had arrived in a country re-established by the remnants of Gondor. At that time, it was also called the 'Kingdom of Typhon'," Diana replied, "I was recovered by their court scholars and mages. According to them, I fell on the edge of the Great Wall and my body was severely damaged. They took me to Orlandale as a research sample and used It took nearly thirty years for me to reawaken... At that time, it was already the 47th year of Typhon. "
"It took them thirty years to fix you? "Gawain, who had been listening quietly without interrupting, finally couldn't help but speak, "And it was already the 47th year of Typhon...that is to say, you have been wandering for more than ten years since the outbreak of the demonic tide. , was discovered by humans near the Great Wall? "
"Based on time, it is indeed the case," Diana said calmly, "but I can't be sure whether I spent those more than ten years wandering in the wasteland or active 'outside the wall' close to the wasteland. , this part of the memory is completely missing. "
"...In the demonic tide, almost all the unprotected Iron Soldiers were damaged by the impact, so you should be operating outside the wall, but there are no absolutes in the world. The core state of your mind It's a bit weird, which may mean that you were lucky enough to survive the impact of the demonic tide back then," Veronica said thoughtfully, "In any case, you have lost everything between the time when the demonic tide broke out and when you entered the human kingdom. That memory of... is there really no impression at all? ”
Diana showed a very human expression of thinking and trouble. Although the change in her expression was relatively subtle, people still had to marvel that there was almost no difference between her and the real person. Then she shook her head Shaking his head: "I only remember a very brief and vague impression - Sir Scott Planting ordered me to move northeast, but I don't remember anything else. "
This Sir's name has appeared for the second time. Amber couldn't help but asked: "Who is Sir Scott Planting? ”
The person who answered her was not Diana, but Veronica, who was holding a platinum scepter. This ancient rebel obviously knew more about the upper echelons of the ancient Gondor Empire than Gawain: “He was the administrator of the Viplanton Observatory at the time. "
"It is obvious that when the demonic tide broke out, the director of the Viplanton Observatory ordered his bodyguards to evacuate and run to a safe area, and then this lady did so, but she may not have The demonic tide ran very fast, and in addition, it did not move with the fleeing troops at that time, so it was probably caught up by the demonic tide. After being damaged, it wandered between the wasteland and the human kingdom for more than ten years, until it was finally caught by the demonic tide. The Typhon people at that time discovered that after being repaired for thirty years, they were able to move after repairing, but most of their memories were lost... This should basically be the process," Amber pinched her chin and twitched her two pointed ears. Shaking, her analysis was clear and logical, but then she scratched her headFa, looked at Gawain, "By the way, where is the Viplanton Observatory?"
"Near the northern border of ancient Gondor, close to the magic scorch," Gawain flipped the map in his mind , looked at Diana and said casually, "If you start from there and head northeast, as long as there is no big deviation in the direction, you should encounter the eastern end of the Dark Mountain Range. The Black Forest has not spread there at that time, so you have The opportunity to cross the mountains and directly enter the northern part of the Shadow Marsh... It is indeed a difficult journey in Typhon. I should congratulate you for completing it safely."
Diana bowed her head slightly to Gawain. : "Thank you for your compliment."
"This is not much of a compliment," Gawain waved his hand, then glanced at Diana curiously, "Then...you also treat Rosetta O. Did Gusdu say that?"
"Please forgive me for having no comment," the black-haired maid said calmly but firmly.
"...It seems that as long as it involves your master, you will not talk to strangers casually," Gawain was not surprised by this, "But I guess he must know, and There must be more than we know - in hundreds of years, the Augustus family should have asked everything they could."
Diana still maintained her indifferent expression. There was neither affirmation nor denial, not even acquiescence - only at this time did she show her "characteristics" that were different from real people, covered with a bionic skin and made of steel and polymer inside. There is really no information revealed on his face.
Veronica and Gawain then asked a few more questions. Without violating the principles, Diana answered some of them - for the sake of Veronica's "face", The lady's attitude was actually quite cooperative, but in the end she did not reveal any more valuable information.
After all the questions and answers came to an end, Diana's eyes swept between Gawain, Veronica and Amber, and asked with plenty of patience: "Then, can I leave? Are you there? Or are you planning to dismantle me to get more information?"
"Ah, of course not," Gawain was startled and quickly waved his hand, and then he couldn't help but fall into it. There was a brief hesitation, but after a quick weigh, he nodded, "You can leave, Ms. Diana."
"Then, thank you for taking care of me during this time." The black-haired maid Bowing slightly, she lifted up her skirt again and saluted. Then she specially bowed to pay tribute to Veronica next to her. Then she took half a step back, and her figure gradually disappeared into the air.
After the figure and breath of the other party disappeared for a few seconds, Amber suddenly looked at Gawain: "Really let her go like this? If you want to regret it, I can still stop her—— She left relatively obvious traces on the edge of the Shadow Realm, which I can trace."
To be honest, Gawain is really a little confused, after all, such a special Gang may hide countless secrets. Duo Tieren is just like thisHe left under his nose. The experience behind the other party was really unbearable and curious. However, after struggling, he still shook his head: "We can't detain the messenger sent by Typhon without reason - especially if it is so special.' Messenger'."
Diana does have a lot of secrets, but after Gawain thought about it carefully, these secrets do not seem to involve the core interests of either Typhon or Cecil. At this stage, it seems They can only be used to satisfy their own curiosity. In terms of value, it is not cost-effective to threaten the extremely fragile and dangerous balance between the two countries in order to dig out these secrets.
The days ahead are long.
He felt that this would not be the last time he would deal with that "Gondor machine girl".
"Actually, I'm a little worried that the Typhonians will know some of our... sensitive information from her." Amber obviously has more worries. This usually carefree half-elf is now in In terms of intelligence, he is quite keen. "For example, Veronica just revealed her identity. Wouldn't it be a bit...sloppy to let people go like this?"
"Why didn't I know? Are you already so alert?" Gawain glanced at Amber in surprise, then smiled and shook his head before the other party jumped up, "It's a good thing to be alert. Veronica's identity is indeed a bit special, but... What kind of threat do you think this information will pose to Cecil after it reaches Rosetta's ears?"
Amber was stunned for a moment, subconsciously pinched his chin, and murmured while thinking: "There doesn't seem to be a clear threat... Rosetta can't take any specific actions in response to this information... But after all, it is important information. People like Rosetta will seize and make good use of everything of value. "Yes, he will probably think about these things carefully," Gawain said slowly, "But it doesn't matter. In a sense, I don't mind if he knows more." There are many things related to the disobedient, including some of our 'little secrets'... It would be even better if he could think more about these little secrets and even lose sleep for a few nights."< /p>
Hu Huo blinked, stared at Gawain for a long time, and finally muttered: "I'm afraid he is scheming again..."
Gawain seemed not to hear Hu Hu's words Muttering, he noticed that Veronica had been a little distracted since just now, and this was a very rare situation for the other party, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? You are still thinking about that 'Diana' ?”
“Nothing,” Veronica shook her head, “I am indeed thinking about her, but it’s not important.”
She said slowly. He raised his head and glanced into the distance, then withdrew his gaze and said to Gawain: "Please allow me to excuse myself - I have been 'looking' for too long and am a little tired."
"Of course," Gawain immediately said He agreed, "You've worked hard, go and have a rest."
Watching the "Saint Princess" leaving the courtyard, Gawain exhaled slightly,At the same time, I thought of a detail just now:
When Veronica looked into the distance, she didn’t seem to be looking at Winterfort—the place where Diana theoretically returned—but at Direction to the Wastes of Gondor.
This made him think for a while, but he quickly shook his head and put the matter aside for the time being: he had other things to do.
Gawain raised his right hand and his eyes fell on a silver-white ring on his finger.
He recalled his recent trip to Tallond, and recalled his last conversation with the dragon god Enya - that conversation ended with the sudden change in the situation in the Loren continent. Changes in the God of War.
Now that this divine disaster that befell mortals is finally over, and the battle on the Winterhold defense line has been settled, maybe I should contact those dragons, they might also be paying attention. The situation of this divine disaster has changed.
Gawain curled his fingers and gently rubbed the surface of the mithril ring.
Subtle magic power flows in this light and precise magic device, communicating with distant Tallond, but...
There is no response.
......
In the north of Loren continent, on the top of the towering mountains of the Holy Dragon Principality.
The cold wind howled through the mountains, and the snow blown from the top of Longyue Cliff swirled in the wind, passing through the huge stone buildings lined up on the mountain, and then rolled up again. The thick and simple outer walls of Longlin Fort are blocked from the fortress by the blazing braziers and invisible dragon language magic.
Grand Duke Baloger Knarr stood on a circular platform at the highest point of Longlin Castle. He lifted the protective barrier around the platform and allowed the howling cold wind to stir up his gray hair. Hair and heavy cloak.
His eyes penetrated the wind and snow, looking towards the northern sea.
Omega's voice was howling in his brain, but as a special "leaveer", he had still kept thinking in his flesh and blood brain until now, and did not respond to Omega's call.
But even so, it's time for him to "go home".
