Sword of Dawn

……

This meeting lasted a whole day - but for the entire Tarash meeting, this was only the beginning.

Siren successfully became a new member of the alliance, and Deep Blue Well successfully joined the alliance in the form of a permanent neutral city-state, and was officially regarded as the "successor of the ancient kingdom of Gondor"—and after that, countless Unclear things need to be dealt with: Ophelia Norton announced the energy and arcane crystal export plan of the Deep Blue Well when she joined the alliance; Typhon proposed a joint development and reconstruction plan for the entire Gondor wasteland; The Silver Empire proposed a plan to establish some kind of transnational development entity, and there were a lot of proposals for post-war economic reconstruction, food aid, and medical assistance put forward by representatives of countries including Ogure and Gaoling Kingdom. In the end, in this first In a day, the proposals put forward by the alliance countries piled up into mountains.

Every item in this "mountain" is a top priority, and every problem that is not handled properly will be a thunderstorm, and this will become a challenge that everyone will face in the entire meeting.

This victory itself has become the first major challenge the alliance has faced since its establishment—it will also be like a trial, verifying whether the alliance order created by Gawain Cecil can really be as good as he used to be at the 112 meeting. function as described.

"The problems that need to be dealt with are piled up, but as long as these problems are dealt with, the whole world will usher in a period of rapid and stable development," said Gawain standing on the edge of the deck at his side on the Dawn of the World under the night Amber said, "Fortunately, the situation seems to be good so far: both Typhon and the Silver Empire agree on the tone of 'joint development', and the proposals for medical assistance, food aid and economic boosting should not be too big. problem, then every country in the alliance can recover from the trauma of war as soon as possible and find new opportunities for development in the wasteland of Gondor. As long as the domestic pressure of each country can be released safely, the alliance as a whole will not be in chaos."

"Yes, but only temporarily." Amber put her hands behind her head, leaned against the railing on the edge of the deck, and looked up at the beams of light emitted by the purification device in the distant night sky. However, even if the three major empires can work together to maintain a fair order, and all participating countries can honestly obey the rules, this "development" will sooner or later usher in unfair and unbalanced times, and there will always be countries that feel Others ate an extra bite, and you said it yourself—the cake is not so good."

"It's indeed 'temporary', but it's fine for the time being," Gao Wen laughed, and put his hand on Amber's head, "I said before, the alliance is a group of porcupines huddled together for warmth, and we are not selfless and fair like saints." Embracing the same ideal, but having to choose unity in order to survive the cold winter, you can't expect any cause to never go wrong-find a new way out before the problem gets out of control, and then wait on the new way out New problems, our civilization is slowly groping for them.”

"...It's true," Amber pulled Gao Wen's hand away from his head vigorously, "If the alliance can really keep order forever, then we might not need this 'alliance' from the beginning."

Under the night, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away. Gawain and Amber stopped talking, and at the same time looked towards the direction of the sound - they saw Tyre, who maintained a human form, appear on the deck, and followed Like a corpse, six shadow clones followed behind...

"Good evening!" Tire, who led the six clones, walked up to Gawain. She seemed to be in a very happy mood, and it was rare to be awake at this time, blowing the cool night wind, The "Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Deep Sea" took a deep breath, "The air is really good—it is said that the air quality in this place used to be very poor, and one breath would cause tuberculosis..."

"Speaking as if you have lungs," Gawain's face became a little weird from the moment he saw Tire, and at this moment, he couldn't help but fall on the group of clones with dull faces behind him, "You still Bringing this group of people along... By the way, what do you think, that you split an entire mission for yourself? What's the point of that?"

"Doesn't this look imposing!" Tyr said with a face of course, "Our siren is a powerful country after all, so why not only one representative appearing alone at the alliance meeting for the first time? For those who don't know the inside story When the representatives saw it, they thought that the deep-sea kingdom would not be able to send anyone..."

The corner of Gawain's mouth twitched suddenly, and he thought that she might as well send no one—that siren queen was really big-hearted, and dared to let Tire be the plenipotentiary ambassador, with such a whimsical style of acting, Her casual work in the alliance is enough for the Kraken's propaganda and diplomatic department to give her half a year... By the way, does the Kraken have an external propaganda and diplomatic department?

Thinking of this, Gao Wen asked by the way: "Does your Kraken have external publicity and a foreign ministry?"

Tilton put his hands on his hips and replied confidently: "No."

Gao Wen: "...?"

Even Amber next to her was startled: "Wait a minute, don't you have a diplomatic department at all?! Then your queen temporarily slapped your head and arranged for you to be a plenipotentiary ambassador to represent the deep sea kingdom to join the alliance. ? Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

"Of course we don't." Unexpectedly, Tyre was more confident than before. "The last time we dealt with land civilizations, we didn't even know what happened tens of thousands of years ago. Why do we set up a diplomatic department when we have nothing to do? With the fish in the sea Do you want to chat? But after that, we can set up one, after all, we have joined the alliance now..."

"...Don't you still deal with local water elements?" Gawain looked at the "deep sea kingdom's only diplomat for tens of thousands of years" as if he had seen a ghost, "You still fight wars, and negotiate peace after the war What, the two sides must at least have diplomats to meet..."

"The water element on the opposite side doesn't have any diplomats. Have any of you heard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the elemental world?"

Till continued to put his hips on his hips as he spoke: "When we deal with them, we usually start from the elemental rift and penetrate all the way to the boundless sea, and then we will understand each other after we fight, and then Gululu will Bring the provocative elemental lords to our queen to admit defeat, and we accept it. Of course, sometimes there will be sea monsters who accidentally cross the peace boundary, or accidentally drink water elements that have signed the peace agreement. At that time, the Queen brought people over to confess her mistake..."

Speaking of this, she thought for a while, showing a somewhat confused look: "But I don't know why, every time the elemental lord sees the queen taking the sisters to confess her mistake, she will be very excited, shouting 'Don't come here' while yelling I ran away without a trace..."

Gao Wen: "..."

"Your elemental creatures are really... messy enough." Even Hu Po, who has always been thinking strangely, couldn't help covering his forehead, "But it seems that there is nothing wrong with your explanation... If you want to say it this way, the sea monster really This is the first group of elemental creatures to engage in diplomatic activities with 'ordinary races' in history, is the alliance successfully breaking into the elemental world?"

"It's your 'every time'," Tire laughed. "In our history, sea monsters have dealt with land races a lot, although it was a long, long time ago."

"Those land civilizations that have established diplomatic relations with you..." Gawain subconsciously said, but soon he shook his head, "Forget it, we'd better not discuss this issue."

"Yes, we'd better not discuss this - but if there is a chance in the future, we sea monsters welcome you to visit Antaveen and invite you to visit the ancient relics we have collected in the Abyss Vault, "Tyl smiled and said to Gawain, "You are a very...special human being. Your way of understanding the world doesn't even look like a human being to me, but like some kind...with us or a dragon. Similar to the 'Eternal Life', you may be able to understand some of the things we have experienced."

"Then I'll be looking forward to it," Gawain said with a smile immediately, and then he glanced behind Tyre, and couldn't help being a little curious, "Speaking of which, it's rare to see you maintain a human form for a long time, because Would it be more convenient to maintain a human form during the meeting and communicate with the representatives of various countries?"

"No," Till casually pointed to the six shadow clones behind him as he spoke, "Didn't I just cut off the tail and make six of them..."

Gao Wen: "...is it possible to do this?!"

"Actually, it's not enough to just cut off the tail. I also got some water from the nearby clouds," Till explained seriously. "The reason why we need to use the water from the main body is to facilitate the manipulation of these split bodies. And the amount of water in the main body is not enough, so we need to draw water from the surrounding environment—our sea monsters have always been a very reasonable race..."

Gao Wen: "..."

He suddenly felt that he couldn't look directly at the word "reasonable".

But fortunately, this increasingly strange topic did not continue. When Tire was about to continue explaining to Gawain and Amber what is called "rationality in the Siren's world view", a pleasant buzzing sound came suddenly In their ears, an "interactive device" placed on the edge of the deck flashed rhythmically.

Gawain looked at the silver-white metal cylinder, and he saw the projection crystal on the top of the cylinder rising from the groove, and the voice of the mastermind came to his ears: "A communication request has been received from the underground fortress of the Deep Blue Well—— Philia Norton wishes to speak with you."

Gao Wen subconsciously rubbed the space between his brows—it seemed like a busy day today.

But in any case, chatting with that Gondor princess should be easier than discussing "rationality in the world view" with a siren, right?

"Connect."

Chapter 1417 Remaining Problems

A clear holographic projection appeared above the silver-white column, and the figure of Ophelia appeared in front of Gao Wen. She still used the same "posture" she had at the meeting this time: a seemingly and real "Ophelia Norton" is almost identical to the "carrier", sitting on a light golden throne, with a large number of pipes and cables extending from the back of the body and around the throne.

"Good night," Ophelia's voice came out of the screen, sounding calm and calm as always, "I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Tyre and the Tyres standing beside looked at Princess Gondor floating in the holographic projection, then at Gawain, and asked hesitantly, "Should I avoid it? Are you planning to talk about some confidential topic?" ?”

When Gawain heard this, he looked at the deep-sea salted fish quite unexpectedly—probably because Tire's usual unreliable behavior was so frequent that he even heard a reliable word from the other party at this time. A strange feeling...

"No need," Ophelia's voice came from the screen immediately, although her body was still expressionless, but the voice sounded obviously smiling, "It's not something that needs to be kept secret——Miss Till, Don't treat me as a stranger, I am the Veronica you are familiar with, when we were in Cecil City, we discussed many things together."

"...That's true," Tyr blinked, "but I'm really not used to it all of a sudden... I'm used to dealing with 'Veronica', and now I suddenly see you in this form..."

"Okay, let's not talk about others for a guy who usually changes himself when he has nothing to do and can cut off his tail and pinch six clones." Gawain couldn't help but glanced at Tyre, and then turned to Offie. Leah, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"The core control system of the Deep Blue Well has been brought back online," said Ophelia, her tone seemed a little serious, "After initially repairing the perimeter pipeline monitoring system, I found some... things that I hadn't seen before, which may be related to the previous Sentinels. activities."

"Something that hasn't been discovered before? It's related to the sentries?" Gao Wen frowned instantly, "Tell me more specifically."

"I found that several energy conduits had been invaded and blocked, and the output logs in the relevant areas did not match. In addition, some iron soldiers disappeared mysteriously. The date of their signal disappearance was before the outbreak of the war, because of some system errors. , These data have been hidden from my monitoring, and have not been discovered until now - these intercepted energies and missing soldiers should be the sudden increase in strength and collective 'evolution' of those dark priests before, and the creeping disaster. The reason for the huge energy absorbed from the depths of the strata around the Deep Blue Well.

"However, these are not major problems. The sentinel's plot has now been thwarted, and all system failures are gradually being repaired. The real key is... I received some signals when I was monitoring 'pulse flow', from the deep layer of the deep blue network. district."

"Some signals? In the dark blue network?" Gao Wen seemed to have thought of something, "Could it be..."

"I suspect it's the 'rune stones' that the Sentinels put into the webway before," Ophelia's voice sounded more serious, "It seems that the death of the Sentinels and the Creeping Calamity didn't automatically invalidate these rune stones, they still It's working."

Gawain and Amber looked at each other for an instant, and both of them saw the same shock and nervousness from the other's gaze - what Ophelia discovered was undoubtedly the blind spot of everyone's previous vision.The scale of this war is so vast, and this victory is so exciting that when the war ended, almost everyone fell into the joy of this final victory. Still running! !

Amidst this nervousness, Gao Wen was suddenly very grateful: when almost everyone had already set their sights on the complicated affairs after the victory of the war, fortunately there was Ophelia Matrix, the hard-working ancient artificial intelligence, who was meticulously taking care of everything. Fulfilling one's duties, if one does not have such a pair of vigilant eyes watching the dark blue webway all the time, God knows when the world will remember those rune stones!

"Could it be that those rune stones are still carrying out the instructions left by the sentry?" Amber asked suddenly.

"According to the data we have now, there should be no need to worry," Ophelia replied. "The signals collected so far are only regular transmissions and responses. Although the specific communication content needs to be deciphered, it can be generally determined that it is the source of the rune stone." There are regular signals released during communication between them, and they have no signs of large-scale activities for the time being."

Speaking of this, Ophelia seemed to think for a while, and then she paused for a moment before speaking again: "The monitoring system of the Deep Blue Well has not been able to find these rune stones before, and I suspect that these rune stones actively avoided them under the conscious control of the sentries. My monitoring, or using some kind of technical means to block my monitoring, but now the deep blue well received the signal released by the rune, which may mean that these rune stones have entered a certain... undefended automatic operation state, which means In a way it's a good thing."

"Is it on standby... From the perspective of 'no trouble', it is indeed a good thing, but when I think of so many time bombs buried in the magic power network tunnel deep in the planet, I don't know if it will explode someday. I can't sleep well..." Gao Wen muttered with some toothache, "Is there any way to 'fish' them out?"

Speaking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Tyre next to him: "Just like what the Krakens did..."

"You can try it, but it's not easy." Although Till didn't say anything, she had been listening carefully to the conversation between Gawain and Ophelia, and immediately said, "Our sisters have already tried it, like Elemental bodies like Kraken can indeed swim safely in the dark blue webway, and theoretically they can also find those 'rune stones' that have drifted deep into the webway, but the key is the scale of the dark blue webway...it is too big .”

Tyre's tone was a bit difficult, and Gawain had to nod his head: "Indeed, the Deep Blue Webway is a 'planetary power system', and it not only spreads in the material world, but its branches run through all realms and elemental realms. It's no small feat to find all the runestones in such a large webway, and we don't know how to navigate the webway at all..."

"Actually, this is still a small problem," Tyr said while pinching his chin, "No matter how large the scale of the webway is, there is a limit, and no matter how difficult the navigation is, you can slowly summarize the rules. The key is that it runs through all elemental domains, which is a bit troublesome. , you know, our relationship with the native elemental creatures is actually not very good..."

"Don't you only have a bad relationship with the local water elementals? At most, you can add the wind elementals that were dragged by the water elementals to fight with you," Huber suddenly widened her eyes, and the shadow assault goose was keenly aware When it comes to the Kraken's whole life, it may be even more exciting than she imagined, "How come all the elemental creatures are brought along..."

Till suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, and whispered while rubbing his hands: "... I haven't experienced the early elemental wars, but I heard that after the queen tried the spirited ones, she created There are pearls and hot drinks..."

"...Damn it!" Gao Wen swore that he had never opened his eyes so wide in his life, "Shocked, what kind of elemental bullies are you gang of fish?"

So in the eyes of the world, the gentle and friendly overall comedian is like a sea monster like the Deyun Club of the whole family, but in the world of elements, is it actually such an image of bullying and dominating the market?

Tyre herself was obviously embarrassed. Hearing Gawain's complaints, she almost rubbed her hands into afterimages—if the siren's body temperature also rises, then she is probably close to boiling point at this time: "We didn't have everything at the beginning." Don’t understand, the elemental creatures on this planet are weird, and the communication methods between different elemental species are completely different, and their way of life is also extremely autistic, so that for a long time, we haven’t figured out what the elemental creatures are. Whether the 'gadgets' that haunt crevasses or engine leaks are natural phenomena or critters of the bottom of the sea, alas, it is a sinful time to be ignorant..."

As he talked, Till probably sensed that the atmosphere at the scene was getting weirder, so he immediately waved his hands and explained: "But we didn't fight too hard with the earth and fire elements. After the experience of dealing with elements, we had a little friction with other elemental worlds for a while before we figured out the situation. Later, the queen came to the door with souvenirs and sisters to apologize. Everyone understood each other and signed a peace agreement... But despite the signing of the peace agreement, the relationship is still a bit tense."

The corner of Gao Wen's mouth trembled as he glanced at the deep-sea salted fish: "Can I ask what kind of understanding you mean by 'mutual understanding'?"

"I don't know the specifics, but according to the sisters who participated in the 'Friendly Visit' at the time, the elemental kings of the earth element and the fire element acted as if they were... scary when they saw that we could freely enter and exit the elemental field with conflicting attributes? "Tyl thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "They seem to think this is a shocking thing, and then they settled their differences with us... By the way, why do you have a weird expression?"

"...I am very glad that you are allies now," Gao Wen didn't know what his expression looked like at the moment, he only felt that his head and teeth ached badly, and he was not so tired after chatting with this sea caterpillar after a whole day's meeting. That is the feeling of the san value fluctuating violently in seconds, "Okay, then let's not talk about this kind of historical issue, let's go back to those rune stones, Ophelia... Ophelia? Are you listening ?”

"Ah, I'm here." I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ophelia's voice obviously has a feeling of waking up from the sluggishness, as if even the san value of such an artificial intelligence has been washed by the world view of the sea monster, "I listening."

"Then about the salvage of those rune stones..."

"I happen to have a new idea about this," Ophelia said without waiting for Gawain to finish speaking, "It is an almost impossible task to salvage all the rune stones from the dark blue webway—even The sea monsters think that it can be completed, and that is also under their "time scale". This kind of thing that takes thousands of years to achieve has no reference value for ordinary mortal civilization, but from another perspective... will It might also be an option for those runestones to remain in the webway."

"Stay in the webway?" Gao Wen vaguely guessed the other party's thoughts, "You mean, those rune stones can also come in handy for us?"

"This is a 'possibility'," Ophelia said seriously. Although this is an idea she just came up with, it is obvious that this "new idea" has been repeatedly deduced in her pile of computing units. How many times, "Although the plan of the sentinels and the dark priests almost destroyed the world, according to the rune stone samples salvaged by the Krakens and the information we got from the captured dark priests, the rune stones they dropped were essentially just a kind of Control nodes, and as a pure technology, these control nodes may not only be used to destroy the world."

This sounds like a very feasible idea, but at the same time it is also very disturbing. Gao Wen's tone couldn't help but become serious: "...you think that this 'control system' left by the Sentry can be safely used in other fields ?”

"Essentially, these rune stones originated from Voyager technology. According to my deduction, other planets with suitable conditions should also have a 'deep blue webway' similar to our planet, and the technology behind these rune stones may have been originally used on planets. Places such as environmental improvement," Ophelia said of her thoughts, "In the eyes of the sailors, this is probably just a kind of...'reclamation', or a basic livelihood project like a 'water conservancy project'."

"The 'water conservancy project' in the eyes of super civilizations may be a doomsday flood to primitive civilizations," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "I understand what you mean, the 'prototype' technology of those rune stones may be nothing more than high-level civilizations. Some kind of basic civilian facilities in the world, if used properly, it will be beneficial and harmless, but the key lies in whether we have reached the level of mastering this 'method of use' - if we have the technology that can change the planetary environment casually, and this Technology that’s as simple as pressing a few buttons isn’t necessarily a good thing for today’s league.”

Amber on the side nodded lightly, and quickly understood Gao Wen's concerns: "After all, pressing the button is too simple - but the possible consequences after pressing the button are beyond our current capabilities."

"I've also considered this point," Ophelia said calmly, "that's why I said that this is just a 'possibility'. Now we are facing the reality that there are almost no control nodes left in the dark blue network lane. For a long period of time in the foreseeable future, we have to face the fact that there are a bunch of 'bombs' buried in the planetary power system-since it is destined not to be dug out, it is always necessary to know more about them. It's better than doing nothing, and what I call 'control' and 'exploitation' are just inevitable by-products of this research process."

"...And even if we don't carry out research, there is no guarantee that another dark sect like the Death of All Things Society or someone else will come into contact with those 'stones' for one reason or another," Amber's mind was also at this time When she became active, she frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it said in many horror stories that a dark wizard who lost his soul fell into the sealed forbidden place of the evil god, and then gained the power of the evil god to endanger all directions, and finally had to die?" Only a lot of male and female supporting characters and the protagonist's family can kill such a demon king—but if the person who left the seal at the beginning could directly slice and study the evil god and leave the operation instructions for future generations, maybe it would not be possible at all This kind of thing happened..."

"Although the example you gave is very problematic, it seems to have some truth." Gawain glanced at Amber, then lowered his head slightly, and said slowly while thinking, "Indeed, those rune stones have sunk into almost every corner of the webway. , except that Ophelia can now remotely receive the signal from them, it is almost impossible for us to fish them all out. Since these things are destined to stay in the depths of our planet for a long time, how much for them? Some understanding is always good... Even if it is a little risky, it is better than being helpless when the accident happens.

"But then again, based on the signals that Ophelia has received remotely, do we really have a way to 'control' those nodes?"

Ophelia's low voice came from the screen, with a faint expectation: "This... you need to take your time."

Chapter 1418 Make Good Use

The Sentinel is a tricky problem -- it's still tricky when it's dead.

Those rune stones that are still in the dark blue webway are an unexpected trouble, but as Ophelia said, with the current level of technology of mortals (even counting the alien civilization of the sea demon), it is impossible to remove all those rune stones. Salvaging it is almost an impossible task-no one knows how many "stones" the dark priests threw down, no one knows where those "stones" have moved now, no one knows the scale of the dark blue webway. How big, this is a helpless but iron-like fact.

So the only thing Gao Wen can do now is to learn as much as possible about those rune stones, grasp their dynamics, and if possible, "control" this dangerous thing through a remote signal connection—if the dangerous factor cannot be eliminated, then at least Turn uncontrollable risk factors into controllable.

What's more, if this thing can really be controlled, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

"The sentinel's control method for the rune stone is obviously 'remote control' by sending some kind of remote signal," Ophelia said of her thoughts, "and since the sentinel was using a mortal body at the time, the dark priest under him was also For a group of mortals, this kind of 'remote control' should not exceed the ability of mortals, and its technical level is not beyond the level that the group of dark priests can participate. In summary, I think the plan of controlling those rune stones through remote connections is feasible .

"Of course, this may require a lengthy cracking process. We are dealing with a completely unknown technology. Sentinel obviously encrypts the signal transmission of all rune stones..."

Gao Wen's tone was serious, his expression serious: "Is there anything that can speed up the cracking process?"

"Samples, more samples of runestones - this is essential, the runestones 'salvaged' by the Krakens help me understand the techniques used by the Sentinels, but they are often damaged during the salvage process, so I need There are enough samples for comparison and analysis to restore the complete structure of the rune stone," Ophelia said immediately, "there are also language and text materials of the Voyagers, which help me understand their 'information structure', I remember the Dragon Clan There is a complete record, of course, if you can get the coding and system language logic used by the various equipment of the voyager... But this is obviously impossible, so don't expect extravagant..."

"I can provide data in this area—although I'm not sure if it's complete," Gao Wen interrupted before the other party finished speaking. "I also have language and text materials here, which are more complete than those of the Dragon Clan."

"Can you provide it?!" Even an ancient artificial intelligence like Ophelia had a tone of astonishment for a moment, but soon she seemed to think of something, and her voice calmed down, "This is good news. In this way , the cracking work will be much simpler than expected.”

At this point, she paused for a moment, and added: "In addition, if possible, I also hope to get the computing power assistance of the Imperial Neural Network——Although the computing power of the 'Matrix' is very powerful, I need to use a lot of thinking threads In controlling the Iron Man Corps and controlling this underground fortress, the unique structure of the neural network allows it to develop faster and more conveniently than the 'Matrix', and if it can be assisted by its extra computing power, the cracking work will progress faster."

"Yes, I will let Naritil build a node group for you, which is isolated from the main network, and the distribution of computing power is not affected by the fluctuation of the main network." Gawain nodded immediately, in fact, even if Ophelia does not open At this point, he will also take the initiative to request the Imperial neural network to participate in the cracking of those rune stones-although he trusts Ophelia, he is always used to avoiding things beyond the reach of such sensitive and critical issues. own control.

"Thank you for your support," Ophelia said in a serious tone, and then she was silent for a moment, as if she was weighing carefully, and finally broke the silence after nearly half a minute, "Finally, whether this matter needs to be made public within the alliance, Do you need more countries to participate? The technical strength of most countries may not be enough to help this work, but once this kind of secret research involving the Sentinel legacy is leaked, it will easily destroy the order of the alliance."

Long before Ophelia spoke, Gao Wen had already been thinking about this question. At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, with a particularly serious expression, and fell into deep thought.

Amber next to her muttered softly: "This matter is really sensitive. Secretly studying the rune stones left by the sentries, this is easy to do, and it's okay if there are no problems. The good alliance disintegrates directly on the spot, and it is possible for the Eighteenth Route Rebel Army to attack Cecil—if it is serious, Typhon, Baiyin, and the Dragon Clan will all be coerced to attack us. After all, the whole world was almost blown away by this thing. Now, people all over the world get jittery when they hear the word 'sentinel'..."

At this moment, Amber, who is good at thinking, has already imagined a whole set of "a certain empire secretly researched the super weapons left by evil civilizations, trying to find the technology to save the world from them, but the news leaked was regarded by the whole world as an attempt to destroy the world." The evil empire, a melee, the sky is dark, the world is dark and the people are dying, and all the historical truth is buried deep in the ruins"...

She even arranged more than a dozen protagonists and supporting roles for this plot by the way, including the hero and heroine's childhood playmates, the upright knight, the old mage, a mysterious assassin with a secret, and a talking cat—a lot of groans. There is a talking cat in every bard's story, which is used to jump out and read the outline when the story is overwhelmed...

Gao Wen didn't know how many things Hu Po, who was deeply poisoned by the bard's street stall story, was thinking about in his head at this moment, but the things that Hu Po muttered were all he could think of, and he... didn't like dog blood stories Bridge section.

"This matter must not be fully disclosed, nor can it be completely kept secret—such a large-scale project itself is difficult to keep secret," Gawain said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Ophelia Norton in the holographic projection, "prompt Feng, Baiyin, and giant dragons—including the dragons of the Holy Dragon Principality, these are all technically capable participants and qualified partners from the perspective of 'vision', pull them in, and clearly explain the status quo of those rune stones, explaining Why are we working on that thing and getting these people in our cars.

"The other countries in the alliance... keep them a secret for the time being. Although everyone is in the same camp, allies also need a little 'little secret'."

"That's my opinion too, and I'm glad to see you think so too," Ophelia's voice came from the screen, "Except for the sirens who have been involved in this matter from the very beginning, all countries on land Among them, there are indeed only a few partners you mentioned that are worth wooing."

Amber next to her showed a strange expression after pondering for a while, and she looked up at Gao Wen: "The reason for bringing these countries in is not all for 'cooperation' and 'honesty', you are preparing for everyone to recite together. pot……"

"Indeed, I have this consideration," Gawain admitted to Amber's surprise, "With the computing power of the Ophelia Matrix and the Imperial Neural Network, the leadership of this work must be ours." In our hands, the participation of Typhon Silver and the giant dragon will not shake the controllability of this matter, but will ensure that the most influential members of the alliance stand with us and avoid mutual suspicion with them in advance, and if it is true Some of them encountered unexpected situations, such as project leaks..."

"That's what I said, everyone will bear the blame together," Amber waved her hand before Gao Wen finished speaking, "If the three permanent members of the alliance and the most capable member states in a shocking thunderstorm all participate, Then no matter how big this matter is, it can only be 'nothing happened'."

Gawain spread his hands with a wordless smile—dirty but reasonable, dark but necessary international order, these are the "thorns" on the porcupines huddled together for warmth.

"Then this matter is tentatively settled first," Gawain exhaled lightly under the cool night wind, and then turned his gaze to Tyre, who seemed to be about to yawn, "but before the official start , we still need to hear Siren's opinion - after all, Ophelia's 'cracking' work still needs more samples of rune stones."

Studying those rune stones is destined to avoid the siren. After all, this is a magical race that has successfully salvaged a large number of rune stones and is capable of butterfly swimming in the dark blue web. Therefore, Gawain did not shy away from Tyre's presence when he talked with Ophelia just now. At this time, the focus of the topic suddenly fell on the latter, which made the "deep sea ambassador" who was starting to feel sleepy suddenly wake up. She shook her head full of water, and finally nodded slightly after regaining consciousness: " It's not a problem - I can give you an answer right now. Later we will send over the scan data of all the rune stones, which were scanned by the analyzer on Antaveen, and the accuracy is absolutely sufficient.

"In addition, if you need it, I can also tell the queen to arrange for her to send those rune stones directly to you—but it will take some time, and there is a high probability that the thing will not be able to go through the elemental transition channel, and it will have to sail Ship it this way. Later, whether you want to slice those stones or smash them up for research, anyway, those things will take up space in Antavien, and they can't be eaten..."

"Then thank you in advance for your support," Gao Wen nodded, and said sincerely, "Scanning data is needed, as are physical samples—and the more physical samples, the better."

"No problem," Tyr agreed very happily. These "requests" are obviously trivial things for the sea monster with an infinitely long lifespan. "Anyway, I heard that the sisters at Antaveen I am also researching the technique of synchronized swimming in the deep blue web lane. I will tell them there, so that they can fish up the rune stone as soon as they see it... and try to fish it up as completely as possible. Although it is impossible to fish all of them, but some of them can be salvaged. It's also useful to come."

Speaking of which, the "Ambassador of the Deep Sea" was obviously on the verge of resisting drowsiness. She yawned hard and shook her whole body from side to side: "No, I'm too sleepy, let's chat first , I’ll go to sleep—I’ll talk about something when I wake up.”
