Chapter 1126 listen
Bertilla stood in front of Bertilla like this, with a look that the latter had never seen before - some yellowed fragments appeared in the mind of the Silver Queen, which was a memory that could be called a long time for the long life of the elves. In that distant memory, this druid saint, who was born in human, always wore a priest's skirt, and his smile was as bright and gentle as the sunshine in the spring afternoon. She ran among the wounds of the expeditionary force, and countless people were alive because of her.
Her achievements were even recognized by the elf society—the orthodox origin of the druid faith—and its icon was hung in the saint ring of the elves’ court, living next to the druid sages of thousands of years.
But these memories have turned yellow after all. Belsetia blinked, and the figure in front of her, which was mixed with flesh and blood and mutant plants, was showing a stiff smile to herself. The entangled vines behind her were squirming like blood vessels, and a sound like wooden friction came from her body: "I haven't seen each other for seven hundred years, wouldn't I say hello? Belsetia - Her Majesty the Queen?"
The Silver Queen woke up completely from her memories, and her eyes fell on the other party, breaking the silence with a little hesitation: "Beltira...Ms.."
"You have become alienated from me," said Belltila, "seven hundred years ago, you called me Sister Belltila."
Gao Wen, who was standing beside him, couldn't help frowning and said with a little memory: "How come I remember calling Auntie at that time?"
A summer afternoon wind blew across the top of the Solin tree, and the sound of the rustling leaves rubbing from below. In the next two seconds, the atmosphere on the scene seemed a bit weird.
"... Actually, I don't care much about this issue," Belltila finally broke the silence. Her eyes quickly glanced at Gao Wen and fell on Bellticia. "I am also satisfied with the title of 'Lady' - it seems calm."
"Ahem," Gao Wen also coughed twice to break the embarrassment. He saw that the people who were greeting the scene were still lined up behind Bell Tira, and the maid Elaine who had just walked down the long ladder was not very good, so he quickly changed the topic, "We should not continue to stand here stupidly - the Silver Queen has the purpose of investigating the Thorin giant tree during this trip. We go to the place where we rest first, and we can also walk and chat on the road."
"Of course," Belltila's face showed a faint smile. She opened her body to the side, and the vines spreading behind her extended like a guide. "When I received the news, I was preparing, Her Majesty Queen, you will definitely be satisfied with this journey-no one in this world knows this 'tree' better than me."
Bellsetia had just taken steps, and after hearing Bellsetla's words, he couldn't help but say, "Just call me my name just like before."
Belltila looked at Gao Wen and asked for the other party's opinions. Gao Wen nodded when he saw this: "Let's do it, everything is like before - there are no outsiders here. Letting go of the air can make it easier for us to ourselves."
Walking in the flat area at the top of the canopy of Solin is a familiar and unfamiliar experience for Belsetia - she stepped on a wooden platform as solid and vast as the earth, and her vision was full of buildings or fixed facilities of all sizes. If she didn't know the truth, it would be difficult for visitors to realize here that they were actually standing at a very far altitude from the ground. This is somewhat similar to the feeling of standing on the Temple of Stars, but unlike the Temple of Stars, she could feel the huge power of life rushing and flowing in the depths of the "earth" under her feet every second. A "sound of life" that is completely different from the low roar of the machines filled the entire Solin area and echoed in her keen perception.
For the elves who are close to nature, this place is more like a holy land than the "ancestor heritage" that has already faded in the south of the mainland.
"...This is the magic network hub in the Thorin area, and one of the two main hubs on the Holy Spirit Plain," the group stopped under a tall tower in the center of the treetop platform. Belltila raised his head and looked up at the huge crystal arrays and mechanical devices on the tower. She said to the Silver Queen beside her, "These crystal arrays spread huge energy to the surrounding areas, and the corresponding areas have lower-level magic network hubs for reception and secondary dispersion. The magic devices in the entire Thorin area and a large part of the surrounding areas obtain energy from this invisible network. At the same time, magic network communication was also established between these towers and broadcast to all cities and villages with magic network terminals.
"At present, we have set up key nodes of narrator neural networks in several major cities on the east side of the Gorgon River. Through these nodes, the magic network communication in big cities can be incorporated into neural networks. Of course, this work has just been launched, and the coverage rate of neural networks is still very low, but with the current development momentum, it will be only a matter of time before the 'network enters the countryside'."
Belsetia raised her head and looked up at the huge crystal array with some trance. The artificial crystals with magnificent surfaces shone brightly in the sun, and a low buzz kept coming from the depths of its base. This was another "miracle" that was completely different from the Temple of Stars. The endless possibilities behind it even fascinated her, the Silver Queen.
"I know your neural network...I've seen it in the theocratic Council's documents," she said softly, "you try to use it to create a 'barrier' that can fight the spiritual pollution of the gods, and hope that this barrier can cover the whole world..."
"It's not that we have achieved practical results," Gao Wen reminded. "You have witnessed its effect with your own eyes, don't you remember?"
Belsetia was stunned for a moment and immediately recalled her experience of facing the God 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 remembered..."
Gao Wen paid attention to the change in the expression of the Silver Queen and did not continue on this topic until he continued. Belltila continued to drive the flower vines that formed her body and walked towards the edge of the platform area.
"We will rest in a facility in the canopy - unlike the buildings on the surface, each facility in the canopy of the giant tree in the Solin tree is controlled by me personally, and you can feel the most distinctive "giant tree style" up close," on the way, Belltila introduced the results of her days of studying civil engineering (also classified into beauty and body shaping). "You can also visit my biochemical laboratory, which is located on the lower floor of the rest area. Most of Cecil's most cutting-edge bioengineering technology was born or formulated in that laboratory..."
Gao Wen listened and subconsciously frowned: "Is your laboratory suitable for us normal people now?"
Belltila glanced at Gao Wen. Although she didn't say it clearly, her eyes seemed to be saying, "You, an extraterritorial wanderer who devours gods, pretends to be a normal human in front of me, a vegetable." Of course, this look is highly likely to be Gao Wen's own brain.
"Please rest assured that after receiving feedback from other researchers, I have carefully adjusted the structure and decoration style of the laboratory. All things that are not suitable for display have been enclosed in a friendly and friendly container - although my thinking and aesthetics seem to have shifted a little due to changes in life form, I am very clear about this, so I can still listen to the suggestions from others."
"Not suitable to display?" The Silver Queen's face showed a confused look. She looked at Belltila and then Gao Wen. "Are you referring to the technology involved in confidentiality in the laboratory? If it is that kind of thing, you can completely prevent me..."
"No, although that is cutting-edge technology, ordinary visits will not lead to leaks," Gao Wen shook his head, "and in the long run, I even intend to treat that thing as a foreign trade commodity - what Belltila said is 'not suitable for display' actually has nothing to do with technical secrets, mainly... the image of that thing is not very complimentary."
The flower vine behind Belltila rolled for a moment. She seemed to disagree with Gao Wen's evaluation. The Silver Queen became more and more curious about the legendary biochemical laboratory. But before she asked again, a sudden sound of mechanical device starting from not far away attracted her attention. She looked in the direction of the sound, and only saw that a huge device about a hundred meters away from the crystal array was slowly adjusting the angle. It had a metal bracket with complex structure, and a large number of hexagonal crystal sheets with gaps between the skeletons, and countless shining runes slowly wandered on the crystal sheets, forming illusory magic lenses, which seemed to be constantly fine-tuning the focus direction of the crystals.
"What's that?" Belsetia asked curiously. She had never seen this thing in the intelligence and was very different from any magic device she had seen along the way. It seemed to be a device with high technical content, but the magic fluctuations it released did not look like any magic model. Even her, the well-informed Silver Queen, was confused.
“That’s a wide-area monitoring antenna,” explains Belltila. “Each main hub has a set, which is essentially a high-sensitivity receiver—we’re using it to search for a mysterious signal.”
"A mysterious signal?" Belsetia became even more curious. "What mysterious signal?"
Gao Wen thought about it and nodded: "Okay, this is not a secret, and we are recently building a series of monitoring facilities with neighboring countries. If you are interested in this, we can go to the lower floor rest area and talk about this in detail."
...
"The second gain rune group has entered the working mode, the first rune group has been transferred to the cooling process, and the main antenna rotates in three minutes, and each monitor pays attention to the channel they are responsible for..."
The operator's clear and powerful voice sounded not far away, allowing Bud, who had just sat in his seat and was a little more energetic, quickly boosted his spirits. He looked left and right at the room and saw that several persons in charge of the monitor seat were already in place, while the magic technicians in charge of the auxiliary monitor confirmed the equipment situation the last time.
The large magic net terminal in the center of the room is projected on the fluctuations in each monitoring channel. Now the curves in each picture show meaningless clutter, while there are only blank pictures above the several secondary magic net terminals around the room.
Bud took a light breath and was about to start today's work. Another monitor next to him touched his arm and whispered: "Hey, do you know? Your Majesty and the Silver Queen are here to Solinburg today!"
"I know, this happened in the newspaper the day before yesterday," Bud glanced at his colleague beside him, "But, what does this have to do with us?"
"You are... just boring," sighed, "That's the Queen of Silver! Are you not curious? Most people will never see each other once in their lives, and this time we have the chance to see a real person! It is said that she will visit the trunk area of the giant tree and the eastern sector on the surface. It is a public event. We are planning to take a look at it at that time..."
Bud still looked indifferent. He was not curious about the big man from the Silver Empire, but as a former wolf general, he really couldn't be as excited as an ordinary person in such matters related to "big man", but...
The visit of the Silver Queen did not have no effect on him - if all of his colleagues really went to the East Sector, there might be much fewer people in the canteen for dinner today... This is good news.
Bard's thoughts drifted a little again, but his attention quickly focused as the main antenna operator rang in the room thirty seconds before the antenna rotated.
The external interference was blocked, and the former wolf general was left with only a holographic projection that kept refreshing data and curves, and a low, hollow and soft rustling sound came from the earpiece beside him.
The antenna completed its rotation, and the monitoring channel tracked the "sounds" that were oscillating in the magic environment with extremely high acuity. Some unirritating noises were mixed into the low and soft rustling sounds. Bard's mood further calmed down. He seemed to have merged into these gentle echoes, and no sound from the outside world could be heard.
The monitoring antenna listens to the frequency in the magic field. All the slight fluctuations are transformed into oscillating signals output by the antenna. They flow quietly in the huge and complex even daunting system of the Solin Main Hub and eventually gather in this monitoring center. In most cases, these echoes are meaningless, and the monitoring staff's work is boring and boring, and it is difficult to gain something for weeks.
But today seems destined to be an unusual day.
After immersing in the soft noise for an unknown period of time, a somewhat abrupt whistle suddenly woke Bard up from his "intoxication".
Bud quickly sat up straight, his eyes wide open, and almost at the same time, the subsequent echo of the whistling was filtered and reorganized by the system. A series of regular vibrations and short pauses came from the earpiece. A regular vibration line suddenly projected over the magic net terminal in the center of the room, which was an extremely clear and sharp line that the monitors had never seen before!
"Received the signal! Type I fluctuation, that signal!" Bud suddenly shouted, then quickly turned to the magic technician who was assistant, "Is my channel graphic output? Has the recording device been online?"
Chapter completed!
