Chapter 882： Retrieve (2/2)
"His Royal Highness Rebecca is in a remote meeting with the technical exchange representatives of the Silver Empire. She will come over after the meeting," Kamal said to Marin Leslie casually while paying attention to the work of the on-site technicians. "I After reading the report when you last started the acceleration device, although the device melted down at that time, according to the record left by the monitoring circle, the acceleration body should have approached the 'missile limit' indefinitely before losing power? "
"But it still failed to break through," Marin shook his head regretfully. "And afterwards we also found very serious element erosion damage on the surface of the accelerating body, which is probably caused by the time inside the rail too late to release waste energy-at speed In extremely high circumstances, many things have exceeded our expectations, and there are still many things that need to be adjusted and improved. "
"Come on slowly," Carmel said in a low voice, with a reassuring tremor. "Success always requires such failures to accumulate."
Listening to the trustworthy words of the ancient Great Magister, Marin nodded solemnly, and then he wiped the sweat on his head-he felt a moment of frustration when he touched his smooth scalp However, he soon regained his spirit and once again devoted himself to the calibration and assembly of the acceleration device.
...
Gao Wen put down the review work at hand, moved his slightly stiff shoulders, then took a breath and got up and came to the window.
The sun is just outside the window, and the prosperity of the city is in sight.
Everything is finally on the right track, and a rare period of steady development is coming to Cecil-with the establishment of a series of diplomatic relations, the smooth progress of overseas commercial activities, and the new name of "Cecile" in the surrounding Countries are gradually recognized, and more and more businessmen, students, and residents are coming here from afar. Cecil ’s businessmen and envoys are slowly moving towards the Ogure tribe, the northern countries, and even the Tifeng Empire. diffusion.
The magic technology breaks the barriers created by the old production order, liberating the productivity from the land in large quantities, and the ensuing business prosperity and the circulation of "people", all of which have brought cultural Communication and the inevitable impact on relations between countries. The distant and unfamiliar country will fade the mysterious aura with the injection of commodities, and the strangers who appear with the commodities will further open up people's horizons-whether people want it or not, country and country, race and race, civilization and The barriers between civilizations are being impacted, and the pastoral idyll seems to be beautiful and calm, but the situation of isolation and closure is being challenged.
Civilians in the hinterland of Cecil also began to contact the gray elves, the Red Valley people, the dwarves, orcs, and even goblins, and more and more humans are appearing in the hometowns of these races. Of course, all this is just now At the beginning, the exchange only occurred in a small area, but there is no doubt that this is the situation that Gao Wen wants to see.
If he can, he hopes that this period of steady development can last longer.
A light knock on the door suddenly came from the entrance of the study, interrupting Gao Wen's reverie. He heard Betty's voice coming from outside the door: "Your Majesty! There are visitors!"
Compared with a few years ago, the little maid ’s voice is now more mature and calm, but it is only her voice that is mature and calm. When she is using words, Betty still has a sense of rashness and insufficient "sacrifice" .
Gao Wen smiled, turned to let Betty come in, and said casually: "There should be no visitor appointment today-what kind of person?"
Betty, who was wearing a royal maid's long dress and a little taller than a few years ago, thought about it and nodded: "It's the special guest you said, Miss Melita, and the last time ... ... another lady! "
Obviously, she has forgotten the name of "the other lady"-but the growth in the last few years finally made her stop shouting the word "forgetful".
"Melita and Noretta? The two came together?" Betty's forgetfulness did not affect Gao Wen to extract useful information. After learning that two senior agents who were the Mithril Treasury visited together, he subconsciously Frowning, "And still take the initiative to come home ..."
Then he set aside some doubts for a while and nodded slightly to Betty: "Let them come in first."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Betty bowed hard and trot away, and not long afterwards, Gao Wen heard two rhythmic footsteps coming from outside the corridor.
A moment later, Melita and Noreita appeared together in front of Gao Wen.
"I'm sorry to bother you hastily," Melita said first with a polite attitude as before, "I hope this didn't cause you trouble."
"It's okay, I welcome friends at any time," Gao Wen nodded. "Just didn't expect that two senior agents of the Mithril Treasury would visit at the same time ... Did you bring anything?"
Suddenly he noticed that Noretta had a large, heavy box in his hand, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
The two agents visited suddenly at the same time, still carrying such a large box, which made him vaguely aware of some unusual signals.
And ... I do n’t know if it ’s an illusion, he felt a familiar breath from the tightly closed box that looked like it was made of some higher magic material.
"Then we will tell a long story short," Noleta stepped forward and put the box on the ground. "The first task we will come this time is to give you back the same thing-something you have lost for many years."
As she said, she activated the locking device on the suitcase. With a slight click, the lid made of precious magic metal automatically rose to reveal the contents inside.
A shield full of vicissitudes and scars.
