The swearing of the tree leader cannot change any reality. The vines that rashly crossed the border and tried to invade the inside of the explosion pit have been devastatingly hit by the garrison troops of the Deep Blue Well. As the beam swept through the last bit of ashes drifted in the wind, this small temptation ended in failure, just like dozens of previous attempts.

Another tree man beside the leader came up, his branches shrinking and twisting, but there was a powerful magic power wandering in his dry canopy. Those tangled branches grew tangled on the head of the tree man, forming a structure that seemed like an expanded brain, which looked strange and disturbing.

This twisted creature with a "brain crown" lowered his head and looked down at the hill of crystal pillars in the explosion pit. As the magic light between the crystal pillars gradually dissipated, he shook his crown. The glimmer of light wandering between the crowns was unstable for a moment: "We have successfully controlled several Iron Man Echelons, but through these steel soldiers, we can only penetrate the outermost defense line... The dead soul in the deepest part of the Deep Blue Well was too vigilant. She has been constantly reconstructing the safety model inside the ruins, even if this place has not been invaded for seven hundred years..."

The headmaster snorted, his voice low and sinister: "Particular, stubborn, delusional... That dead soul has been entrenched in this grave for seven hundred years, and maybe he will have gone crazy long ago."

"A thinking matrix won't go crazy... The stability of steel and crystal is much more stable than your mental state, Mr. Grand Principal," two female voices that sounded at the same time suddenly came from not far away, with a slightly joking tone, interrupting the Grand Principal's low curse, "We just heard you curse here - this is not like your previous demeanor."

The headmaster turned around, and the yellow-brown eyes reflected the figures of two elves coming from not far away.

"Leerna, Firna..." he said in a deep voice, "Are you just watching the fun?"

"Please calm down, Grand Priest," the elf Gemini came to the tree leader. The sisters with the same appearance bent over with a gentle and sweet smile. "As a plant, you should have a more peaceful and calm mind - being too excited can damage your roots and crowns."

The headmaster snorted dissatisfied, and the dry branches rustled: "There is no need to show off the jokes here - you might as well pay attention to the facts in front of you. Look at this ruins. The energy of the deep blue well is right in front of us. However, after so long, we can only wander around the outer defense circle. You promised to have a way to penetrate the ancient defense system here, but in my opinion... your promise has not been fully fulfilled."

"What we promised was to penetrate part of the Iron Man's mind, not the entire defense system," said the elf Gemini in unison, with a very calm expression on her face. "We believe your memory should not be so unbearable."

The headmaster stared at the elf Gemini with his brown eyes, but after a few seconds of gaze, he still retracted his gaze: "You are right, but you have also said that it is feasible to bypass the matrix through the Iron Man Corps' mental network - it is obvious that you failed, and the fact is that even if we control several Iron Man Echelons, we cannot enter the depths of the ruins."

"No, this idea is indeed feasible, it only requires some luck and opportunity, so we told you to stay patient enough," Lerna said immediately, "But please don't worry, we are here to tell you the good news today - forget the small failure just now, the time for us to carry out the next penetration has come."

"Hmm?" The headmaster's eyes became serious, "What do you mean..."

"We have been indirectly observing the situation inside the Deep Blue Fortress through the captured Iron Man Mind Core. Based on the data collected just a few hours ago, we can determine one thing..." Firna couldn't help but raise her tone with a sweet smile, "The operation efficiency of the Ophelia matrix has decreased, Master Grand Priest."

"The efficiency of the Ophelia matrix has decreased?!" The chief minister was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of disbelief appeared in his tone, "Are you sure?"

"We are confident in our judgment, Master Leerna closed her smile and looked serious. "Since two days ago, we found that the Ophelia matrix was experiencing abnormal fluctuations. She seemed to have undergone an extremely large data exchange and reorganization within her - we don't know what she is doing, but since that data exchange, her operating efficiency has been declining. It was not until the decline was completely stabilized a few hours ago, and it is still at a lower level until now."

Lerna stopped here, and Firna took it without delay: "According to the calculation we just completed, if the Ophelia matrix continues to maintain its current operating efficiency for forty-eight hours, she will have very small vulnerabilities when reconstructing the internal defense security mode. If it lasts longer... the vulnerabilities will become exploitable, and we can push the penetration line into the impact crater, and it may even take over part of the energy conduit at the outermost periphery of the Deep Blue Well."

The headmaster's eyes fell on the elves Gemini, and there was no obvious expression on the wooden and sinister face. However, the flashing light in the eyes showed that the seriously distorted life was in a state of excitement. He let out a hoarse laugh, but soon he questioned: "Wait, since the change happened two days ago, why didn't you report it at that time?"

"We need to confirm that although the Ophelia matrix has been running smoothly for seven hundred years, she may also have a brief, normal fluctuation due to internal self-maintenance or partial node failure replacement. Therefore, we need to confirm that there is really something wrong with her before we can report the situation to you," Filna said frankly. "Unless you are willing to be disturbed by frequent and meaningless trivia again and again, then our sisters can report all the details in detail."

The chief minister stared at the elf Gemini for a long time, and it was not until more than ten seconds later that he retracted his gaze again.

"Well, I don't care about your 'details'. I respect our 'cooperational relationship'," he said lightly. "Then show some of the sincerity of the collaborator and tell me how to penetrate further - we need the energy of the Deep Blue Well, even if we can only control the outermost conduit, it will be a huge improvement."

Lerna and Firna smiled.

They raised their heads and looked at the deep blue well in the distance, watching the pure energy gushing out from the top of the crystal pillar rushing into the sky like a giant sword, piercing through the dirty clouds, stirring up the gloomy cyclone covering the entire wasteland.

"Of course," said the elf Gemini in unison, "we will get the energy of the Deep Blue Well."

...

The connection with land was completely interrupted just now.

Gao Wen stood up from the dragon's back and looked at several special equipment placed behind Melita's shoulder blades. Those devices no longer forward signals from the land. There were signs of errors reported on the holographic projection, and some of the base runes were dimmed. This was a sign that the basic response signals were completely disappeared, and all this happened faster than the previous technicians expected.

He frowned: It seems that even the most powerful and sensitive special models cannot maintain contact with the land after crossing the offshore dividing line. If you want Magic Network Communication to continue to play a role in the sea, you must set up transit nodes on the ocean or lay some kind of communication facilities on the seabed.

As for launching communication satellites... it is probably too early to think about it now.

The whistling sea breeze passed outside Melita's protective barrier. When the whistling sound came into his ears, it was already very weak. The sea surface was shining with waves under the setting sun, presenting a magnificent beauty that people living on land could not imagine.

Melita has lowered the altitude twice in a row, and now she is almost flying at a low altitude.

"The signal is interrupted," Amber scratched her hair. "The signal attenuation speed in the ocean area is indeed faster than on land - the large hubs on Beigang can cover this place."

"I can lower the altitude a little more. I'm pretty good at flying at ultra-low altitudes," Melita's voice came from the front. "Flying against the sea can shorten the straight-line distance between your communication equipment and the land, and the interference will be better."

"Then I'll trouble you," Gao Wen did not refuse the kindness of the party. After all, he really wanted to collect more data, "Low down the height."

"A small matter is just a flap of wings."

Melita said casually, then the powerful dragon stretched out its wings and adjusted its overall flight posture. Its height was once again reduced to a level that almost flew close to the sea. The waves were rolling under the dragon's wings, and the sudden passing airflow rolled up foam and debris floating on the water, forming a broken white tail mark behind the dragon.

A buzzing sound came from those devices, two of which were specially designed to detect response signals and identify remote hubs automatically turned on, and the holographic projection above them jittered out some characters, as Melita said, magic interference was improved near the sea surface - but this did not last long.

Just a few minutes later, the connection was interrupted again, and this time it was really impossible to connect.

"Does I need to hover for a while?" Melita said considerately, "maybe we can find a more accurate 'dividing point'."

"...No need," Gao Wen thought for a while and shook his head. "The equipment has automatically recorded the relevant data. After returning, the technicians will analyze it. The situation on the ocean changes rapidly, and the information you collected by hovering around here is not very useful."

"Okay, then I'm going to raise the height," Melita shook her head, "I don't have to worry about the sea when I fly higher. There are several islands nearby. I'm worried about hitting the mountain when I continue flying low."

While speaking, the dragon lady stimulated her wings hard. With a slight tilt and acceleration, the ocean and sky in Gaowen's vision began to sink, while the amber beside her shouted curiously: "Hey, have you ever bumped into the mountain before?"

"Of course not," Melita said immediately, "My flight skills are the best among my peers!"

Amber approached Gao Wen and muttered quietly: "I don't know why, I always feel that she didn't tell the truth..."

Gao Wen kept his majestic state and said nothing.

But he thought Amber's words made sense...

At this moment, Veronica, who had been keeping her eyes closed and resting without speaking much throughout the whole process, suddenly stood up.

The "saint princess" walked forward, came to Gao Wen and looked into the distance and whispered: "We are approaching the storm..."

"Mom!" Amber on the other side of Gao Wen also exclaimed, "Can we just pass through it?"

In front of Melita's flight trajectory, a magnificent wall of clouds was already standing at the end of the sky. As the distance became closer, the details of the magnificent wall of clouds were clearly presented to everyone - it connected the ocean and the sky, with a large scale and horizontally moving cloud on the surface. Under the storm's sucking, a large amount of sea water was swept into the air and fell again in the middle of the cloud wall. A long storm and rain formed outside the storm circle. Even though it was still a little distance away, Gao Wen could clearly see how amazing the rain and the storm above had - there was no doubt that it was a natural wonder that humans at this stage could not challenge.

Even the Cecil Empire is the most powerful and powerful warship.

At this moment, Melita's flight direction was pointing straight towards the storm!!

"Of course, it's through," Miss Dragon's voice came from the front, her tone was filled with relaxedness and calmness. "The scale of this storm is amazing, and it takes a lot of effort and time to go around."

While speaking, she had already incited the giant wings again, and the native runes on the edge of the dragon wings lit up one after another. Under the power of magic, her flying altitude began to climb rapidly, while the storm cloud wall in the distance quickly dropped in the sight of Gao Wen and others.

"Can you cross this storm from above the cloud wall?" Gao Wen asked immediately.

"Ah... If you want to completely cross the storm circle, you have to fly to the nearest line between the turbulent layer and the steady-state limit layer. That is a height that the dragon cannot stay for a long time," Melita said with a smile, "We won't fly that high - just reach the middle of the turbulent layer."

Gao Wen subconsciously frowned, instinctively feeling that if Melita said, the structure of the Eternal Storm would be a little weird: "At that height, the storm's power is weaker?"

"Yes, the power of the storm over there will be weaker - of course it is still dangerous for ordinary flying creatures, but it is already a 'strong wind' for the dragon race," said Melita proudly, "I will protect you with magic shields, so just sit well then. Enjoy the next journey - I think it will be spectacular for you."
