Chapter eight hundred and eighty is not a bad thing

The peeping feeling and faint warning meaning from the soul gradually faded away, but Melita and Noreta did not completely recover until a few minutes later. At this moment, the powerful dragon would also recognize a fact that even if the dragon is the master of the sky in the eyes of mortals and the extraordinary creatures that are high above the legend, in essence, the dragon... is just a mortal "human" race.

"Is this... God's direct warning..." Noreta bit his lip with a very bad face, frowned, "It feels different from soul punishment, but it's also uncomfortable..."

"This is just the lightest 'reminder'," the Speaker's voice came from the throne of the soul, which sounded a little older, "Children, you will not want to face the real 'warning' of the gods."

After a few seconds of silence and hesitation, Melita couldn't help but speak: "...What exactly is that signal? Why shouldn't we listen to it?"

Speaker Andal glanced at the young blue dragon deeply.

Melita, she is the most outstanding and bold among the younger generation. Her years of activities in the human world have allowed her to develop a different personality from other dragon clans, and also made her dare to ask another question in this situation.

However, the dragon clan needs such a young generation.

"In this world, every race has only one chance to look up at the stars," the old speaker lowered his head and looked at the two young dragons, with a low tone, "If you miss it, you will miss it forever."

...

Hragor lowered his head respectfully and humbly. The middle-aged dragon priest stood beside the blond-haired god, pursing his lips tightly, as if he didn't dare to say a word.

The elegant and luxurious god stood at the end of the palace terrace, standing under the sky light near dusk. She looked down at the temple close to the clouds, and her eyes did not seem to fall on anything specific. However, Heragor, who could feel the power of the gods, knew that at the moment just now, there were countless transcendent "eyes" that mortals could not understand, staring at the Misilan Treasure House and the headquarters of the Review Group, which had not been seen in many years.

"My Lord," Hragor maintained a humble attitude and whispered for a long time, "maybe it was just a reckless act of some young people..."

The air was filled with suffocating silence, and Hragor seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat, but after a few seconds of silence, the blonde figure at the end of the terrace finally spoke, his tone sounded gentle, neither anxious nor impatient: "No need to be nervous, I can tell the difference between intentional offense and unintentional mistakes.

"Just a little accident happened just now. A young dragon came back from outside, but she didn't know what she brought back. This mistake should not be punished."

Listening to the other party's faint answer, Hragor finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he did not see the blonde figure at the end of the terrace, after the words fell, his back turned to him, and his smile seemed to be full of helplessness.

"He" raised his head and looked at the distant sky, his vision seemed to be pouring into the depths of the starry sky through the clouds and mist.

"Is it signal..." Dragon God said softly as if he was talking to himself, but her words gradually made Heragor, who had just relaxed, tense up again. "The human civilization on the opposite continent... has created some surprises. Is it called the Cecil Empire? Is Heragor's ruler a human hero who has resurrected from the dead?"

"Yes, my lord," Hragor immediately replied, "that was Govin Cecil, who was active in the northern part of the continent of Loren seven hundred years ago and resurrected a few years ago."

"Ha...resurrection from the dead, how can mortals be so easy for this level of resurrection from the dead?" Dragon God smiled and shook his head, "He...maybe he is an interesting person, I began to be curious about him."

...

Sitting at the desk that I was most familiar with, the warm summer breeze blew into the house from the open windows. This summer afternoon was comfortable and relatively leisurely, but Gao Wen suddenly shivered inexplicably.

Heti, who was sitting next to sort out some documents, noticed this scene and immediately asked with some concern: "Ancestor, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," Gao Wen shook his head, but there was a confused expression on his face. "I just suddenly felt a chill, as if I was being targeted by something... strange."

Gao Wen's tone was very calm, but Hetty immediately became serious and looked at Gao Wen with a serious look: "The intuition of the legendary strong man? Do you feel the malicious snooping?"

"No, it's not that serious..." Gao Wen couldn't help but shook his head with laughter and tears, "It was probably just a little distracted. I didn't feel snooping, let alone malice."

"It's better to be cautious," Hetty was still serious. "Legendary powerhouses like you often have strong intuition and prediction. When it comes to their own safety, this intuition is even close to the legendary "prediction". Now the country has just been on track. All key projects and projects are at critical moments. I don't know how many enemies are hiding in the dark to look for opportunities for destruction. I suggest strengthening the security work of the imperial capital in the near future, checking out the people entering and leaving, and preventing assassination."

"This is a bit over..." Gao Wen looked at Zeng Xn's granddaughter in front of him with laughter and cry, "How could he mobilize so many troops just because I was trembling, and there is Amber and the military intelligence agency she led, as well as Saldrin's steel ranger, there is nothing to worry about."

Hetty thought about it and might realize that his reaction was a bit too much: "You are right. But it's not bad for you to be a little more vigilant recently."

"Okay, okay, I will pay attention, I will pay attention," Gao Wen waved his hand. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had really become an old man who was urging by the younger generation. He felt helpless and saw that Hetty seemed to want to speak, so he immediately took the lead, "You are so old..."

All the words behind Hedy were choked back immediately.

"We can talk about security issues later," Gao Wen stopped when he saw it, and shook his head with a smile, "Let's talk about what's happening in front of him. News came from Tifeng, our neighbors... were probably about to discover the role of the inverter array. It would not take long for them to make breakthroughs in communication technology and other technologies that require the use of magic-arcane hybrid energy."

Gao Wen was talking about the wind and breeze, but Hedy widened his eyes for a moment: "Inverter array?! The people of Tifeng are cracking the inverter array?"

"Don't be so surprised," Gao Wen glanced at Hetty and said calmly. "Although the inverter array is the technology of ancient Gondor, it has advanced ideas, and its own technology and implementation technology are not complicated. There are many equipments that we use inverter arrays, some of which will fall into the hands of Tifeng people sooner or later. Furthermore, after the incident of the upper narrator, Tifeng people are also harvesting the technology of the Eternal Sleeper. They will inevitably encounter the problem that the magic runes cannot be compatible with other runes, and will naturally realize that Cecil has solved this problem. They will guess that there is a certain 'conversion technology' behind it, and will definitely start to study it."

Speaking of this, Goven paused, smiled and shook his head: "In the end, not all the smart people in the world are in Cecil, and Tifeng also has his own talent pool. And from the perspective of accumulation of foundation, their talents are probably only a lot more and less than us."

"...But this is too fast," Hetty said with a frown and unacceptable expression, "Even if the inverter technology itself is simple, the key is the idea... A way of thinking is not clear, and it is possible to delay the project for several years. How could Tifengren lock in the key points of the problem in such a short time, and even start to do targeted... Ah! Damn, they are the defected bishops!"

Hetty suddenly understood something, and a hint of anger appeared on her face: she thought of the bishops of the Eternal Midnights who chose Tifeng, and the senior officials in the technical field among them.

The corresponding authority allowed those bishops to have a large amount of technical information, and the inevitable chaos that the Eternal Sleeper Order in the early stage of the Great Retreat gave those bishops who had long been interested in seeking Cecil's information from various channels. They might not be able to find out the core secrets, but technicians are always good at deducing deep-seated ideas from some external information. They may have guessed some principles of Cecil's magic network communication, and these things became gifts for those Bishops of the Eternal Sleeper who stayed in Tifeng to surrender to Rosetta Augustus.

Gao Wen naturally thought of these things, but his attitude was very calm and he even smiled: "Don't be so angry, this is a situation that should have been expected.

"And the word 'defection' is not accurate. Strictly speaking, the eternal sleepers who have moved to Cecil are 'defectors'. For those who stay in Tifeng... their behavior is even considered 'abandoned darkness and turned to light'."

"Ancestor," Hetty couldn't help looking at Gao Wen, "Are you still in the mood to joke?"

"Is this a critical time?" Gao Wen shook his head, "Relax, Hetty, you are good in all aspects. This is the overly tense attitude that needs to be changed, which will make you even more tired. As early as the Eternal Midnight Cult Group was partly split and technicians flowed to Cecil and Tifeng respectively, we expected today's situation. A large number of R&D talents and ready-made technical achievements fell in Tifeng's hands. The latter is a long-established empire with a large number of talents. It is natural that this level of sudden technological breakthroughs will occur.

"On the other hand, the situation is not as serious as you think. Although communication technology is indeed of great significance and can greatly improve the comprehensive strength of Tifeng people, the distance a technology has to go from a laboratory to society... is far away."

Hetty blinked and looked into Gao Wen's eyes.

Gao Wen nodded and said slowly: "Our Magic Network communication can be realized, which depends not only on the rune group of the Eternal Sleeper and a simple inverter array. This also involves a large number of engineering fields, machining fields, materials fields and rune logic content, as well as the institutional adaptation behind this and the interest intervention in countless related fields. Every problem in front of Tifeng is a difficult situation. Just to give an example...Tifeng once used huge manpower, material resources and time costs to establish a communication tower-based communication system between major domestic cities and between various military key areas. Do you know what this means?"

Hetty gradually showed a thoughtful expression.

Without waiting for Hetty to answer, Gao Wen said on his own: "It means that hundreds of families have invested money in those messenger towers, which means that hundreds of thousands of merchants, nobles and extraordinary people are sharing the profits of those high towers. The main manager and operator of those towers is Tifeng's Royal Mage Association, and the mage is not a noble man who is not in the world. The magic research of the magic research requires massive amounts of money. A report from the Military Intelligence Bureau last year mentioned that nearly one-third of the annual income of the entire Tifeng's Royal Mage Association comes from the messenger towers they control..."

Hetty frowned slightly: "You mean..."

"The newer Magic Net communication technology is indeed advanced than the communication tower, but before the Tifeng people completely solved the cost problem, the gap between the two has not reached the point where the former can completely replace the latter. Magic Net communication is good, but the communication tower has been laid on all the main lines, and they are not unavailable... This is the biggest contradiction," Gao Wen smiled, "We have captured this land, banned all the privileges of the old nobles, and built Magic Net communication from scratch. We do not need to face this contradiction, but Rosetta Augustus is engaged in the "peaceful transformation" of Tifeng's national communication, which is neither completely the royal family nor the nobles, nor the mages. It is a cake shared by all forces, and this problem is a big deal."

Hetty's lips shook for a moment, and said, "It seems that the Emperor Rosetta is about to watch his parliament beneath the triple spire again."

But soon, Hetty couldn't help but shake his head: "But no matter what, the Tifeng people still mastered a new technology. Their disputes were only temporary, but progress was inevitable. The Tifeng people were not fools. Rosetta Augustus was even more intelligent. They knew what was really important."

"Yes, Tifeng will improve," Gao Wen nodded, then he paused for a moment before slowly saying, "But it's not a bad thing..."

...

Deep in the Cathedral of Lu'an City, in a large library with countless precious classics, wearing simple white robes and no crowns, Saiwen Terry was walking slowly among the towering and quaint bookshelfs. Other treasurers and servants in simple robes were busy by his side, carefully counting, recording, moving in and out the ancient books. A special clerk also set up tables on the open space between the bookshelfs, carrying out intense and busy registration, transcription, classification and other tasks.

Classifying and sorting ancient books, protecting and restoring is a long, complex and difficult task, which is extremely challenging to test patience but unknown. What Severn Terry, the former progressive pastor of Lu'an City, is doing here today, is the work of sorting and restoring the church's collection.
