Chapter 1126： listen

Berthilla stood in front of Bersetia like this, with a look that the latter had never seen before-some yellowed fragments appeared in the mind of the Queen of Silver, which is called the long life of the elves. It’s a long-lasting memory. In that distant memory, this human-born druid saint always wears a priest’s gown. Her smile is as bright and gentle as the spring afternoon sun. She was injured in the expeditionary army. Running between patients, countless people are brought to life because of her.

Her achievements are even recognized by the elven society-the orthodox origin of the druid faith. Her icon is hung in the sage corridor of the Elf King's court, next to the druid sages who have lived for thousands of years. And home.

But these memories have turned yellow after all, Bersetia blinked, and the figure made of flesh and mutated plants in front of her was showing a stiff smile, and the entangled vines behind her squirmed like blood vessels, as if A wooden rubbing voice came from his body: "I haven't seen you for seven hundred years, don't you say hello? Bersetia-Your Majesty the Queen?"

The Silver Queen woke up completely from the memory, her eyes fell on the other party, and she hesitated to break the silence: "Bertila...Madam."

"You have become alienated from what I am called," Bertila said with a lack of expression, "700 years ago, you called me sister Bertila."

Gao Wen on the side of couldn't help frowning, and said with a slight recollection: "How do I remember that I was called Auntie back then."

There was a summer afternoon wind blowing from the top of the Thorin tree, and the sound of rustling leaves was heard from below. In the next two seconds, the atmosphere on the scene looked a little strange.

"...Actually, I don't really care about this question," Bertila finally broke the silence. Her gaze quickly glanced from Gawain, and then fell on Bersetia again. Satisfied-it seems calm."

"Ahem," Gawain also gave a dry cough to break the embarrassment. He saw that the people greeted at the scene were still lined up behind Bertila, and the maid, Elaine, who had just walked down the long ladder, looked bad, so he moved quickly. The topic, "Let’s stop standing here stupidly-the Silver Queen’s trip is for the purpose of investigating the giant tree of Thorin. Let’s go to the resting place first, and we can also talk while walking on the road."

"Of course," Bertila then showed a faint smile on her face. She turned her body aside, and the flower vines spreading behind her stretched like a guide. "When I received the news, I was preparing. Your Majesty, you must I will be satisfied with this journey-no one in this world knows this'tree' better than me."

Beersetia had just stepped out, and after hearing Bertila’s words, she couldn't help but said: "Just call me by my name-just like before."

Bertila looked at Gawain and consulted the other person. Gawain nodded when he saw it, "Let's do it, everything is the same as before-there are no outsiders here, letting go of the air can make us more relaxed. ."

Walking in the flat area at the top of the tree canopy of Thorin is a familiar and unfamiliar experience for Bersetia-stepping on a solid and broad wooden platform like the ground, and the field of vision is big and small. Buildings or fixed installations, if you don’t know the truth, it’s difficult for visitors here to realize that they are actually standing at a high altitude far away from the earth. This is similar to the feeling of standing on the Temple of the Stars, but it is similar to the Temple of the Stars. The difference is that she can feel the huge force of life rushing in the depths of the "earth" under her feet every second and every second, a kind of "sound of life" that is completely different from the low roar of machines. The entire Thorin area also echoed in her keen perception.

For the elves who are close to nature, this place is more like a holy land than the dying "ancestral heritage" in the far south of the continent.

"...This is the magic net hub in the Thorin area and one of the two main hubs on the Plain of the Holy Spirit." A group of people stopped under a high tower in the center of the tree top platform. Bertila raised his head and looked up at the tower. With the large-scale crystal arrays and mechanical devices, she said to the Silver Queen next to her, "These crystal arrays spread huge energy to the surrounding areas, and the corresponding areas have lower-level magic net hubs for receiving and secondary distribution. The magical devices in the entire Solin area and a large part of the surrounding area obtain energy from this invisible network. At the same time, the magic net communication is also established between these high towers and broadcast to all the magic nets. Terminal cities and villages.

"At present, we have set up key nodes of the narrator's neural network in several major cities on the east side of the Gorgon River. Through these nodes, the magic network communication of the big cities can be incorporated into the neural network-of course, the current work Not long after the launch, the coverage of neural networks is still very low, but with the current development momentum, it will only be a matter of time before the'network enters the countryside'."

Bersetia raised her head, looking up at the huge crystal array with some wonder. The artificial crystals with magnificent surfaces gleamed in the sun, and the deep buzzing sound kept coming from the depths of its base. Another "miracle" that is completely different from the Temple of Stars, the endless possibilities behind it even made her, the Silver Queen, deeply fascinated.

"I know your neural network... I have seen it in the documents of the Theocracy," she said softly, "you are trying to use it to create a'barrier' against the spiritual pollution of the gods, and hope this barrier can Covering the whole world..."

"It's not an attempt, we have achieved practical results," Gao Wen reminded, "You have witnessed its effects with your own eyes, don't you remember?"

Bersetia was taken aback, and immediately recalled the experience of facing the **** of nature in the courtyard of the shadow world. She knew that the "anti-divine barrier" had been applied there, and her expression became more solemn: "I think Woke up……"

Gawain watched the change in the expression of the silver empress, and did not continue on this topic until now. Bertila continued to drive the flower vines that make up his body and walked towards the edge of the platform area.

"We will rest in a facility in the canopy-unlike the buildings on the ground, each facility in the canopy of the giant Thorin tree is'growth' controlled by me personally. You can feel the most up close. Characteristic "Giant Tree Style"," On the road, Bertila introduced with a hint of pride to the results of his studies in civil engineering (which can also be classified into beauty and body shaping). "You can also visit my biochemical experiments. Room, it’s on the lower level of the rest area. Most of Cecil’s most cutting-edge bioengineering technology was born or drafted in that laboratory..."

Gawain listened, frowned subconsciously: "Is your laboratory suitable for us normal people to visit now?"

Bertila glanced at Gawain. Although she didn't say it clearly, her eyes seemed to say, "You, an outlander who devours gods, pretend to be a normal human in front of me as a vegetative"-of course this look is very likely Gao Wen's own brain supplement.

"Please rest assured, after receiving feedback and suggestions from other researchers, I have carefully adjusted the structure and decoration style of the laboratory. All the things that are not suitable for display have been encapsulated in a friendly and friendly container-although my way of thinking is now And aesthetics seems to have shifted a bit due to the changes in life forms, but I know this very well, so others suggest that I can still listen."

"Not suitable for display?" The Queen Silver showed a somewhat confused look on her face. She looked at Bertila and then at Gawain. "Are you referring to the secret technology in the laboratory? If it is that kind of thing, it is not necessary. let me……"

"No, although that is cutting-edge technology, ordinary visits will not lead to leaks," Gawain shook his head, "and in the long run, I even intend to treat that thing as a foreign trade commodity-what Bertila said. It’s not appropriate to show, "In fact, it has nothing to do with technical secrets, mainly...the image of that thing is not very complimenting."

The vines behind Bertila tumbled. She seemed to disagree with Gawain’s evaluation. The Silver Queen became more and more curious about the legendary biochemical laboratory, but before she asked again, she was never far away. The sound of the mechanical device starting from everywhere attracted her attention. She followed the sound to look in the direction of the sound, only to see a large-scale device slowly adjusting its angle about 100 meters away from the crystal array. It has a complex structure of metal brackets, and a large number of hexagonal crystal flakes with gaps are inlaid between those skeletons. Numerous shining runes slowly walk on the crystal flakes, forming illusory magic lenses. , Seems to be constantly fine-tuning the focus direction of those crystals.

"What's that?" Bersetia asked curiously at once-she hadn't seen this thing in the intelligence, and it was very different from any magic device she had seen along the way. It seems to be a high-tech device, but the magic fluctuations it releases are not like any kind of magic model, even she, a well-known silver queen, is confused.

"That is the wide-area monitoring antenna," Bertila explained, "Each hub has a set, which is essentially a highly sensitive receiver-we are using it to search for a mysterious signal."

"A mysterious signal?" Bersetia became more curious, "What mysterious signal?"

Gao Wen thought for a while and nodded: "Well, this is not a secret, and we are currently building a series of monitoring facilities with neighboring countries. If you are also interested in this, we can go to the lower rest area and talk in detail. this matter."

……

"The gain rune group No. 2 has entered the working mode, the rune group No. 1 is transferred to the cooling process, and the main antenna will rotate after three minutes. Each monitor pays attention to the channel he is responsible for..."

The operator’s clear and powerful voice sounded not far away, prompting Bud, who had just sat in his position and had a little divergence, to quickly lift his spirits. He looked around the room and saw several monitor stands. The person in charge of is already in place, and the wizard technicians in charge of assisting the monitors confirm the condition of the equipment for the last time.

The large magic net terminal in the center of the room is projected over the fluctuations in each monitoring channel. Now the curve in each screen shows a meaningless clutter shape, while the several secondary magic net terminals around the room only have Blank screen.

Bud took a slight breath and was about to start today's work. Another monitor on the side touched his arm and whispered, "Hey, do you know? Your Majesty and the Silver Queen are here today in Solinburg !"

"I know, it was mentioned in the newspaper the day before yesterday," Bud glanced at the colleague next to him, "but does it have anything to do with us?"

"You...you are just boring," my colleague sighed, "That's the Queen of Silver! Are you not curious? Most people have never met once in a lifetime. This time we have the opportunity to see a real person! Later, she will visit the trunk area of ​​the giant tree and the eastern part of the surface. It is a public event. We plan to take a look at that time..."

Bud is still indifferent. It is not that he has no curiosity about the big man from the Silver Empire, but as a former wolf general, he really can't be like ordinary in this kind of "big man" related matters. People are just as excited as this, but...

Silver Queen’s visit did not have no effect on him—if all the colleagues really went to the east sector, there might be a lot less people in the cafeteria during dinner today... This is good news.

Bad’s thoughts drifted a little again, but as the main antenna operator’s 30-second countdown before the antenna revolved in the room, his attention quickly gathered.

The interference from the outside world was shielded, and the former General Wolf was left with a holographic projection that constantly refreshed data and curves, and a low, hollow and soft rustling sound came from the earpiece next to his ear.

The antenna has completed its turn, and the monitoring channel tracks the "sounds" that oscillate in the magical environment from all corners of the world with extremely high acuity. Those low and soft rustling sounds are mixed with some non-irritating noises. , Bud's mood further calmed down, he seemed to be absorbed in these gentle reverberations, and could no longer hear outside voices.

The monitoring antenna listens to the frequency in the magic field, and all the subtle fluctuations are turned into the oscillating signal output by the antenna. They run quietly in the huge and complex and even daunting system of the Thorin hub, and finally converge here to monitor. In the center-in most cases, these reverberations are meaningless, and the work of the monitors is boring and boring, and it is difficult to gain even a few weeks.

But today seems destined to be an unusual day.

After being immersed in the soft noise for an unknown amount of time, a somewhat abrupt howling suddenly awakened Bud from his "intoxication".

Bud quickly sat up straight, his eyes widened, and almost at the same time, the subsequent reverberations of the howling were filtered and reorganized by the system, and a series of regular, drum-like vibrations and short pauses came from the earpiece. , A regularly oscillating line suddenly projected over the magic net terminal in the center of the room, it was an extremely clear and sharp line that the monitors had never seen before!

"Received signal! I-shaped fluctuation, that signal!" Bud suddenly yelled, then quickly turned to the assistant magician technician, "I use my channel as a graphic output, and the recording device is online. ?"

"The recording device is online, and it's being converted-the pattern will come out soon!"
