Chapter 1073： Queen of Silver

Time flies as the earth warms up, and the day that has attracted the attention of all the nations of the Loren continent is finally coming.

On the northeastern border of the Gondor Wasteland, the Elf Stronghold No. 112 stands proudly between two mountains. This ancient Elf Gathering was established more than 700 years ago. Since its completion, it has served as the Far Eastern outpost of the Silver Empire. It is protected by mountains on both sides. It overlooks the vast and dangerous wasteland of Gondor to the southwest, and connects the kingdom of mankind to the northeast. After centuries of service, this stronghold has maintained a low profile like other silver strongholds. The principle of, avoidance, and neutrality, even though it is on the border of a foreign country, it almost never interacts with local humans.

However, this calm was broken in the spring of 3 years in Cecil: a world-renowned meeting and a series of negotiations will be held in this stronghold, and the dignitaries, ambassadors and entourages of various countries gathered here to participate in the meeting. Even more than the number of elves settled here. In order to ensure order during the meeting, the Silver Empire has started personnel scheduling a month ago, and gathered the elven rogues around the 112th stronghold. This ensures In addition, there were plenty of manpower for the entire meeting, but it also made the 112th base, which was originally quite generous, become more and more crowded.

On the 20th of the month of recovery, various flags have appeared in the Elf Stronghold. Representatives of various countries were arranged to live in the hostels in the southern and northern areas, and the respective national emblems they brought became this outpost for hundreds of years. The “new decorations” of China, among the buildings with elegant lines and silver-white alloy borders, bright flags are fluttering in the wind, and under the flags, representatives of various skin colors, languages ​​and even races are experiencing After settling down, there was a brief hustle and bustle, and after the hustle and bustle, he took time to observe the situation in the camp, talked with the representatives of other countries that were more familiar, and distinguished possible future partners and competitors.

On a wide street in the stronghold town, Rebecca, who finally had a chance to run out to breathe a few breaths of fresh air, widened her eyes and looked at everything in her sight with a look of surprise and excitement.

She looked to the end of the street. In the center of the largest square in the town, a large building with a style completely different from that of the human world, which can be described as elegant and beautiful, stood in the sun. It has layers of layers like petals. On the streamlined roof, there are three light-weight alloy beams extending like veins. They fly over in mid-air and connect to a white tower next to it. There are several trails extending below the tower to connect The clean white house nearby.

On both sides of the main road in front of that hall, two rows of tall flagpoles stood neatly, the flag of the Silver Empire was fluttering in the wind, and the magical power contained in the silk threads occasionally cast a piece of light and dust, like a dream. So charming.

"That's the messenger hall?" Rebecca obviously did not pay attention to the magnificent flags and beautiful architectural styles. Almost all her interests were driven by the complicated and precise transmission structure above the hall and the communication not far away. The tower was attracted, "I've only seen it in the data before...this is the first time I have seen the real thing."

"Yes, the messenger hall," Gawain stood beside Rebecca, he also looked into the distance with a smile on his face, "The highest crystallization created by the elf communication technology is why our magic net communication Realization, in addition to the technical accumulation of the eternal sleeper and the mankind’s own communication spell model, in fact, a lot of experience has been learned from the related technology of the elves... This aspect was done by you and Jenny together, you should be impressed Very deep."

"Yeah, so I have always wanted to see with my own eyes what their communication facilities look like. Today is finally fulfilling my wish," Rebecca nodded as she spoke, then turned her eyes and whispered to Gao Wen. "Hey, ancestors, can I secretly wait when there is no one..."

Gao Wen didn't wait for the girl to finish speaking, and then curled his finger on her forehead: "I can't put away your bold ideas. I really want to study it. Go back and carefully draft a technical communication proposal to talk to the elves. Don't engage in diplomatic disputes."

Rebecca immediately clutched his forehead with an angry expression: "Where do you want me to go? I didn't say what I want to go in and take apart, I just want to go in and have a look and use their equipment. ...... After all, I have never touched it before......"

Gao Wen was taken aback, realizing that he had blamed the girl, but before he could speak to appease him, a slightly magnetic female voice came from the side: "This is perfectly possible, little princess, and you don't have to wait for anything. When there is no one."

Gawain and Rebecca turned their heads and saw a petite blonde elf lady standing behind them. It was a high-level messenger from the Silver Empire and Sonia Frostleaf, Sorderling’s mother. . After the magnificent wall repair project, this high-level messenger stayed in the north of the mainland as a communicator. She was active in the Cecil Empire for half of the time, and mostly in the Elves of the Cecil Empire and border areas. Acting between the outposts, and in this meeting, she was regarded as the "host" of the Silver Empire, so she came here to act as a guide for Gao Wen and others at 112 stronghold.

"Ah, Ms. Sonia!" Rebecca greeted happily after seeing the other person, and then couldn't wait to ask, "Did you just say I can go to the messenger hall?"

Sonya smiled: "Yes, at any time. In fact, few people know this. Although the messenger hall set up by the silver elves around the wasteland is only open to elves according to common sense, it is also allowed to be used by aliens under special circumstances. For example, if you need to send an emergency message, or an ambassador-level person applies, you obviously meet the second criterion here. Of course, this is only a theoretical requirement, after all... our messaging device needs to be activated with wizard spells, Except for a few of the aliens who can use special methods and devices to induce induction, the others are basically unable to operate them..."

Listening to Sonia's account, Rebecca thought about it very seriously, and then shook her head sincerely: "Then it sounds better than the magic net terminal, at least anyone can use it..."

"Indeed," Sonya thought for a while, and admitted frankly, "'Anyone can use it', this is the unique superiority of the magical device. This is even our Great Astrology Master Vilania's Excellency. Appreciation, and the rune logic system that can cross the barrier between elven spells and human spells is even more amazing. Now our astrology masters have begun to study the mystery behind rune logic, maybe one day , You will also see magical products made by the Silver Empire."

Rebecca nodded as she listened, finally returning her gaze to the messenger hall in the distance: "I still want to go and see although it is not available, but I can observe how your communication device works. It is said that your communication tower The signal can be clearly sent hundreds of kilometers away without transit. This distance is far beyond our magic net hub... I am particularly curious about how you did it."

"Of course," Sonya nodded immediately, "I have been authorized to open the technical details of the communication facility to you. This is also part of the technical exchange between the Silver Empire and the Cecil Empire. If you are interested, I am now You can send other messengers to take you to visit that hall."

When Rebecca heard this, she became excited: "Okay, okay! Then go now!"

Sonia laughed. I don’t know when she said hello. Two young elf messengers came from not far away and greeted them. Sonia nodded slightly to them: "Take the Princess Palace to visit and send Except for the part connected to the arsenal, the facility can be visited for her."

The two elves said in unison: "Yes, your high-level messenger!"

Rebecca happily followed the messengers away, and Gawain cast his curious eyes on Sonia: "Why is the communication device still connected to the arsenal?"

"Because our communication system is also the monitoring system of the Sentinel Tower. Although there is a safe shunt inside the channel, the infrastructure is connected," Sonia explained. "Each monitoring station or border post has an arsenal. There are a large number of giant golem puppets that can be activated at any time and arcane orbs pointing to the magnificent wall, so that if there is a major problem with the magnificent wall, the outpost will have the ability to organize the first time in addition to returning an alarm. A wave of counterattack. Even if the situation is completely out of control, the high-intensity radiation in the wasteland instantly killed all the elves in the outpost. As long as the communication system of the outpost is still operating, the headquarters in the Temple of Stars can be remotely controlled. Activating those armaments, the colossal golem that runs automatically can buy some time for the rear."

Gao Wen quietly listened to Sonia's account, and sighed for a long time: "Seven hundred years have passed, and the elves are still so vigilant about the wasteland."

"Because the collapse of the Gondor Empire only happened within a generation for us, and there were problems with the magnificent wall in the past two years, so we can't help but not be vigilant."

"It's also...700 years. It will take you nearly 600 years from baby to adult," Gawain smiled and shook his head. "But then again, I don't remember anything about the arsenal... These things must have been built during the years when I was'sleeping'?"

"Yes, this system was built on the order of Her Majesty the Silver Queen Belsetia. Her Majesty believes that the radiation intensity in the wasteland has not slowed down, and the number of wandering distortions has not significantly reduced, which means that the Gondor Wasteland is not It will purify itself over time, as some scholars believed at the time. In order to strengthen prevention, she ordered the establishment of this system, which was probably three centuries ago."

"Bercetia..." Gawain repeated the name in a low voice, and then suddenly smiled, "You suddenly came here at this time, you should be speaking for your queen, right?"

"...It seems that you can't hide your eyes," Sonia exhaled and bent down slightly. "To Your Majesty Gawain Cecil, the Silver Queen Belcetia Morningstar would like to invite you to enjoy an afternoon tea, location I wonder if you would like to go to the small garden in the Oak Hall?"

"Of course, I'm idle anyway, and I'm also very curious about what Belsetia has grown into after all these years." Gawain knew that the Silver Queen had arrived here a few days before arriving at the 112th stronghold. He also anticipated that there would be such an invitation today. He nodded happily, "Please lead the way. I'm not familiar with this post."

...

Under the leadership of Sonia, Gawain left the main road in the middle of the town. They passed through the city area already occupied by the envoys of various countries, passed through the power hub of the town, and finally came to a secluded and tidy longhouse. This place is already located in the deepest part of the entire town. From the outside, there is nothing special except for the taller houses. However, those royal guards standing at the door and enchanted with armor all remind people who strayed into this place, there is a person who is extremely respected. Of people are temporarily staying in this long house.

Gawain recalled the inherited memories, the words and deeds of Gawain Cecil, and those details about Bersetia. He was convinced that everything was in place, and then ordered the attendants and guards who followed. Waiting outside, he followed Sonya into the long house.

After passing through the main hall and a small corridor, he came to the small garden behind the house. The power of magic filled the courtyard, making the plants here flourish in all seasons, with exotic flowers and lush tropical trees. In the middle of these luxuriant plants, there are exquisite round tables and seats on a clearing. A beautiful woman with long golden hair, an exquisite platinum ring on her head, and an elegant and noble demeanor is quietly Sitting at the table, two elven maids stood behind the woman.

Gawain blinked. Although he had seen Belcetia's current appearance on the audio and video materials from the southern part of the mainland, but after seeing it in reality, he still found that the temperament of the other party was huge in his own impression. different.

It was completely different from the hairy girl who dragged her nose and ran around in several camps and could cause eight disasters a day.

He stayed for a while at the entrance of the garden. This was a normal reaction. Then he showed a smile and walked towards the silver queen who is well-known across the continent: "Bercetia, long time no see."

"In 730 years, Uncle Gawain Cecil," the beautiful queen laughed suddenly. The majesty and loneliness that haunted her body loosened a lot, and she seemed to suddenly become alive. , And got up to make a gesture of greeting, "It is hard to imagine that we can meet again in this form."

"Uncle..." Gao Wen was startled, with a subtle expression on his face, "It's been a long time since I heard that you are so old, do you still call me that?"

His words made Sonia behind him feel a little weird that the Silver Queen is such a respected identity. This generation of Silver Queen is even more so. Her skills and the increasingly powerful Silver Empire under her rule are all over the continent. They are all well-known, and I don't know how many people are in awe of her, but here, there is a human being who can say "you are so old" to her so naturally... But this sentence is logical.

"This is a private occasion," Bersetia laughed, apparently she also thinks that Gawain's words are normal from beginning to end, "If I have to stretch my respect as a queen when chatting, then I really have a chance to relax. It's all gone."

Gao Wen looked at each other, then smiled slightly after a moment: "That's fine."
