Chapter 1413: Talash Conference (1/2)
Before the official meeting began, the orc warchief Camilla came to see Gawain. Of course, this was not for a close-up—but it was related to the mysterious "alien signal" and some special features of the Ancestral Peak.
"The magic net hub of Ancestral Peak has always been managed by fairies. In the Ogure tribe, fairies are'professionals' in the field of magic and engineering," Camilla briefly introduced the situation. "They were also at the beginning. Discovered the changes in the hub tower-in the process of tracking those'alien signals', the magic net hub has undergone two upgrades. Considering the cost and convenience of maintenance, the fairies use the deep rock produced locally in Ancestral Peak. The crystal replaced one of the resonant units in the hub tower, as they said. After that, the density and intensity of the alien signals captured by the Ancestral Peak increased significantly..."
Camilla paused, seeming to recall something, and then added: "Of course this phenomenon has attracted the attention of the fairies. Afterwards, they looked for a technical expert sent by Cecil to study for a long time, and finally eliminated all interference factors. , Confirm that this change will only occur when this crystal is replaced."
"...So, this kind of crystal may be a natural amplification device that can enhance the signals coming from across the sea of stars," Gawain looked at the crystal in the box thoughtfully, "Ancestral Peak..."
"Ancestral Peak is a sacred and special place-since ancient times, that mountain has been shrouded in a lot of mystery, including some real extraordinary phenomena and abnormal crystal deposits in the depths of the mountain," Kami Pull nodded and said, two furry ears were erected on the top of his head very spiritually, "At the same time, there is also the territory of the fairy family since ancient times. They have amazing magic talents due to the long-term influence of the ancestral peak, although their size is small, They are all very powerful and deadly magical assassins and golem masters.
"In addition, you should know another thing: Many years ago, the priests who pioneered the expeditionary army also held a ceremony to communicate with the gods on the peak of the ancestors-that mountain seems to have the particularity of communicating with foreign planes, and the real world The border barrier seemed...extraordinarily fragile there. I am not an expert in the field of magic and mystery, but I often hear from the wizards of the clan that the ancestral peak is located in a'focus of the world', and there are a lot of connected deep layers deep in it. The fissures in the realm and distant time and space. Those fissures are concepts of the magical realm. They cannot allow physical matter to pass through, but can allow some energy or information from other'places' to pass through."
The orc chief, who is reminiscent of big cats, said as he stretched out his hand and gestured in the air: "The human priest seven hundred years ago saw the terrifying shadow of the kingdom of God on the peak of the ancestors, the fairy in ancient times. Mage and orc wizards once listened to the whispers and enlightenment from the mysterious plane on the mountain. The local residents said that ancient spirits traveled through the caves and dark rivers deep in the mountain to the world of the living and the dead. Now, we heard a signal from another planet at the top of its mountain.
"Legend and truth are entangled in this way. In all senses, the ancestral peak is indeed a'focus'. Wenna thinks this is a very romantic thing. I don't understand whether romance is romantic or not. I just think The discoveries of the elves are very important, especially when we have discovered the secrets of the Verpland Observatory and are ready to cast our eyes on the stars."
During the advancement of Cecil's First Army, Philip's troops discovered the site of the Verpland Observatory and unearthed the secret of the alien signal that kept visiting the continent of Loren. This matter was at the top of the alliance. China has been made public.
Although the Ogure tribal nation gives outsiders the impression that it is a relatively backward and closed country, it still has an eye for the starry sky and a brain for thinking about the future in its lofty mountains—especially with the operation of the Theocracy and a large number of starry sky, The information of the gods and sailors was made public, and now even Camilla, the "Tiger Queen" who likes to slash people on the battlefield with a cutting axe, can understand the meaning of looking at the stars.
Gawain touched his chin and fell into thinking. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke slowly: "Actually, according to the data of the Deep Blue Well and the research of Lady'Tower', plus the previous Aberration Legion's persistent attack on Ogu The obvious intention of the Lei tribe, we have basically determined one thing recently—
"In the depths of the Ancestral Peak, there may be a'dark blue netway rift' on the same scale as the deep blue well,"
Camilla opened her eyes slightly in an instant, and the tail that had been unconsciously swinging next to her body also subconsciously stopped and gradually expanded to double its size.
"This is actually not surprising," Gao Wen spread his hands. "The dark blue network runs through the entire planet, and can pass through any physical obstacles and barriers between boundaries without hindrance, so it is very likely to exist on the surface of the planet. Except for the Deep Blue Well, the other'spouts' just exist and exist, not all the spouts will be as'uniquely blessed' as the Deep Blue Well and easy to use.
"The Deep Blue Well is placed on the great plain, with stable source and stable geological structure, and the difficulty of mining is almost zero. The ancestral peak... is probably buried deep in the earth's crust with a whole mountain on it, so for so many years, You all just feel that there are all kinds of visions in that mountain, but no one can perceive the turbulent flow of magical power in the depths of the mountain.
"But at least it shows one thing-your wizard did not lie. The Ancestral Peak is indeed a'focus', and its depths can lead to the deep realm, and may even be connected to distant time and space-this kind of'penetration' Sex is the characteristic of Deep Blue. However, whether this “distant time and space” can extend to other planets on the other side of the sea of stars is uncertain. After all, we are not sure whether there are similar demons on other planets. It’s not sure whether the “networks” between the various planets can resonate."
At this time, Camilla’s swollen tail finally recovered a little bit. She thought about the information that Gawain had just revealed to her, and then she seemed to think of something, her expression became a little strange: "It may be possible within the Ogure tribe. There is a second'deep blue well' — I didn't expect you to take the initiative to tell me this. Although from the description, there is probably no country that has the ability to'mine' it, but..."
"But what? The Cecil Empire should take good care of this secret that currently only we know, and then someday think of a way to claim your ancestral peak as our own?" Gawain laughed, he could see this. A great chief has tried to be a little bit euphemistic, but probably she is really not good at this kind of thing, "If a country has strategic resources, the Cecil Empire should declare that this country is suspected of studying taboo technology and then send troops to occupy it. Nothing?"
"This...I haven't thought of this step yet," Camilla was obviously taken aback by Gawain's casual mention of "methods". The chief's ears were even slightly back to his scalp." But it sounds like it does..."
"The Cecil Empire will not, and will never do this kind of thing in the future-as a civilized country, we cannot afford to lose this person, and we will not allow any country in the alliance to do this kind of thing-because This is a very serious and complete destruction of the idea of the mortal community," Gawain condensed his joking expression on his face, and said to the warchief in front of him very solemnly, "We live in an unfriendly world, mortals The road to survival is not easy. We only have limited time, limited resources, and limited opportunities to survive. Therefore, I hope that all of our power can be effectively and accurately used where it should be used.
"And this will also be the core concept of this post-war meeting, and it will be the criterion for us to deal with a series of follow-up issues in the Gondor Wasteland-Chief Camilla, I believe you understand what I mean."
Camilla blinked, and Gawain's unusually solemn expression was reflected in her pale yellow vertical pupils. After a while, she nodded gently: "Don't worry, Ogure will not forget the Cecil Expeditionary Army. For the assistance provided in times of crisis, you are allies of the mountains and forests, and the people of the forests will always stand on the side of allies. As for the issue of the ancestral peak... In addition to the possible'dark blue fissure', we are willing to cooperate with you Cecil shared all research materials and samples."
"History will prove our way," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "Tell me more about the ancestor's peak and the pivot tower. I am very interested in this."
For many days after this, a large number of technical and historical data about the peak of the ancestors and crystal samples transported from the territory of Ogure were sent to Gawain and sent to the research facility of the Earthly Dawn. In these many days, national leaders and representatives from various countries and regions of the Loren Continent, who have come from afar through various channels, have also successively arrived in the Tarash Plain and came to the former "capital" of this ancient country of Gondor. .
At the end of this midsummer, on the first day of the harvest month, the "Talash Conference", which has become the focus of all countries on the entire continent, was finally held.
The representatives of all countries that have sent troops to participate in the wasteland war gathered on this day of the Earthly Dawn—some of them had arrived at this aerial fortress a week ago, and some did not end their journey in dust until the last day of the fire moon. When they arrived at the venue, some of them boarded the fortress on their own griffons and flying boats, and some took the Dragoon aircraft provided by Cecil to complete this incredible "trip in the sky", no matter what day or where it was. The representatives who arrived all the way, when they witnessed this city of war floating in the clouds, shock and awe are their only common feelings.
