The meeting is over.

With the extinguishing of the magic runes from the Annihilation Era, the large-scale projection advent ceremony that had been maintained in the wilderness for ten days began to enter the reversal process, and a brilliant curtain of light fell from the sky, dismantling those simple and majestic boulder pillars and stone tables and chairs into the magic light dust escaping between heaven and earth, and in the ethereal and pleasant resonance, the image of the oath stone ring disappeared from everyone's sight little by little, and the huge square rune stone that had once sunk into the earth rose again from the earth, introverting the last remaining brilliance.

Eventually, the Ring of Oath returned to the world in which it belonged, and the elves began to sort out and recover the runestones and the surrounding facilities of the venue, and the delegates from various countries stood still in an open space outside the venue, watching this scene with solemn expressions—everyone was more or less touched in their hearts.

Camila stood beside Wenna Baizhi, a pair of pointed ears on the top of the orc leader's head shook twice, the fluff at the end of the ears trembled gently in the warm wind, she watched the silver empress with a solemn expression to the rune stone to make some kind of ritual "salute", not far away there were many people carrying magic machines recording every picture of the scene, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly: "We have witnessed history......

"No, we have made history," Wenna shook her head, "as Gawain Cecil said, history is made by men, borne by men, recorded by men, inherited by men—the turning point is here, and soon it will come to everyone." ”

"It's only been ten days, and you seem to have suddenly become a lot deeper," Camilla looked down at her long-time friend, with a hint of ridicule in her tone, "I remember that before you came, all you had to do was how to make a big deal as soon as possible, and now you look like a gray elf like Stoil." ”

Wenna raised her head and rolled her eyes: "There are also outstanding philosophers and poets among the gray elves, you are looking at us with a rigid eye. ”

Camila shrugged her shoulders and stopped talking, but continued to look curiously at the finishing touches not far away, and not far behind her, on either side of the road leading to Colony 112, brand new flags fluttered high in the wind at the edge of the wasteland - they had a pure white background, and the blue-trimmed silk thread on them depicted a picture unlike any other national emblem, a planet outlined the currently known land, and a striking ring around the planet.

This is the flag of the Alliance of Mortal Civilizations, and it is said that the Emperor Gauvin Cecil personally designed this pattern - the planet represents the world that carries the mortal kingdoms, but also the mortal kingdoms themselves, and the ring represents the purpose of the alliance: to unite and advance together, and the destinies of the nations of the world are connected. It's just that many people think that this ring can have other meanings? For example, it symbolizes the circumcontinental route that is about to change the whole world, or it symbolizes some kind of "cycle" of the world...... Of course, these subsequent speculations were not recognized by the three empires.

Gawain withdrew his gaze from looking at the Union flag? With a faint smile on his face. Is he happy with the pattern he designed? Especially the ring. Can it be explained in many ways? But probably no one would have guessed that it also symbolizes a real "star ring" floating in space, and Gawain hopes to use it as a metaphor for the celestial orbital space station that orbits the planet, and he is not worried about how to explain this "coincidence" when the mortal kingdoms of the earth actually launch a spaceship into space and see the star ring - he has no intention of explaining it at all? Because there are so many meanings of this ring? If it is a coincidence, of course it is a coincidence.

This can be regarded as a little bit of his personal bad taste, and it can be regarded as an "easter egg" that he left to the world that is difficult to decipher. Of course, what do dragons probably think when they see this ring...... After all, they knew about the existence of the Voyager? But that doesn't make a difference? Because something ...... Sooner or later, Gawain will have to talk to this group of ancient races who have experienced the "Age of Sailing".

Thoughts diffuse slightly? A familiar aura came from not far away? Gawain turned around? Seeing Rosetta come to him—the "cursed" who had been shrouded in a gloomy, oppressive atmosphere before he was completely free from the curse of the Vision? And after ten days of exhausting meetings, his mental state was not the slightest tired, but was more full and high-spirited, with a faint smile on his face, and the black-haired and shawl-haired Princess Matilda followed closely by his side.

"Is this a victory?" Rosetta spoke? "Although this is only a small initial battle for the whole 'battle'."

"Typhon's location is important?" Gawain looked at each other? This has been his formidable competitor for the past few years, even to this day? The rivalry between Typhon and Cecil will not end for a long time to come, but at least in areas where there is a common interest, he believes that Typhon will be a reliable helper, at least the only one he can find in the northern part of the continent, "Although we have formed an alliance, each member can play a different role in the alliance, and there are not many people who can stand in the same position as us when it comes to fighting the gods and plotting a counterattack on the wasteland. ”

"I see what you mean." Rosetta said lightly.

Gao Wen's words are euphemistic, but the implication is very obvious: the alliance has been formed, and the mortal united front has also taken shape, but there are many mortal kingdoms, the national strength is very different, and the backwardness of many countries is even surprising, although the purpose of the alliance is to make every mortal country an "ally" on the front, but the fact is that the role of many member states here is often the source of raw materials and dumping markets - at least for a long time. Correspondingly, those countries that have the ability to fight against the Divine Disaster, the Natural Disaster, and the Dragon Disaster will enjoy most of the dividends after the alliance is established, which will also last for a long time.

This part of the dividend cannot be free - the unconditional plundering of weak countries by the strong is not in line with Gawain's positioning of the alliance, nor is it in line with the order agreed in the Charter, let alone the greatest goal of "co-existence".

"Starting next month, Typhon will open up all of our analysis of the wreckage of the god of war, as well as all the knowledge of the gods that the Augustans have in their possession," Rosetta said to Gawain after a moment of silence, "and that includes the social data you and I mentioned in our last conversation. I hope that Cecil will also share information on a reciprocal basis. ”

"You can rest assured that Cecil's theological knowledge base will also be opened to all member countries next month, and the Silver Empire has also promised to make public the theological knowledge, changes in folk beliefs, and cult activities they have accumulated over thousands of years, and we will establish a big think tank to jointly find out the mysteries of the gods from those vast amounts of knowledge."

“…… What has been recorded by the Silver Empire for thousands of years? Rosetta's eyes couldn't help but change, obviously Rao was in his mind, and it was difficult to continue to calm down when he heard the news, "This is really...... An unimaginable fortune. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for the formation of the Alliance and the Theocracy Council, who would have dared to imagine that we would have the opportunity to see a whole set of sacred legacies of the oldest empire in the Loren continent?" Gawain smiled, "I was as excited as you were when I first learned the news. ”

Rosetta quickly calmed down, his gaze swept over the dragon banner fluttering not far away, and his face moved slightly: "What about Talrond?" As the oldest civilization in the world, they ...... over there"

"Tallund is also a member of the Theocratic Council now, so they have promised to share their theological mysteries," Gawain nodded, but then changed gear, "but they will only provide a part, and they will give it later." ”

Rosetta subconsciously frowned: "Why? ”

"They need to sort through the distant records in a wasteland. All the archives and data storage facilities in Tallund are now buried in the rubble, and even if some can be dug up, I don't know how long it will take, and there are only a few ancient dragons who can help in this regard, but it takes time to sort out the memories themselves, and those ancient dragons are still the leaders of Tallrond, and they have limited energy," Gawain conveyed the information provided by Melita's side, "Of course, the more important reason is that there are some materials that cannot be disclosed at will, It's not that the dragons lack sincerity, it's the information ......"

"Dangerous?" Rosetta understands that as a person who has dealt with the Vision for decades, he knows that there are many taboos related to God, "The 'way' of some knowledge is not safe? ”

"Well," Gawain nodded, his voice slightly lowered, "you know, the dragons have been around much longer than our civilization has recorded, and they have lived in symbiosis with their gods for a long time - after falling into a special state of lockdown, they have received a lot of 'gifts' from the gods, which are harmless to them, but it is difficult to determine what the consequences will be for other races. They need to slowly sift through their knowledge and find out what they can share safely...... Understand, they do need time now. ”

“…… To be honest, I didn't expect them to be where they are when I first learned that the Dragons would join the Alliance," Rosetta sighed, "Now I just hope they can recover some strength soon, we need some stronger allies." ”

Gawain nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything in response, he just thought quietly for a while, and then turned the topic elsewhere: "What do you think about building an efficient communication network within the territory of known civilizations?" ”

Rosetta pondered for a moment and nodded: "I understand the meaning of this matter, if there had been a more efficient and transparent communication line between Typhon and Cecil, which would have allowed us to have more effective real-time conversations, then we wouldn't have to pay so much extra price in the matter of 'God of War'......"

"Not only that, but if we want the Theocratic Council to work, we also have to build a communications network that covers all countries," Gawain said, "One of the technologies that Cecil is currently working on to combat the pollution of the gods is based on 'neural networks,' and you've even seen some of the use cases of this technology in the decisive battle of Winterhold." ”

Rosetta stared into Gawain's eyes quietly, it was difficult to see from his face the mood swings in his heart at the moment, and it wasn't until nearly ten seconds later that he withdrew his gaze and sighed softly: "...... Looks like I'm going to have to think about Cecil's magic web communication technology. But you should also understand that even if the country is transformed into a magic net, Typhon will not allow any outsiders to interfere in this matter. ”

Gawain had an unchanging smile on his face: "Of course, I understand very well. ”

Rosetta and Matilda left, Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to look for Rebecca, who had been running to where he had been since just now, and after looking around, he finally saw the girl who was pestering several elven magisters to ask this and that, and he couldn't help but show a helpless smile on his face, and casually said to the air beside him: "Call Rebecca - let her stop making trouble, the magisters are very busy right now." ”

The smell of amber in the air flashed away, and then the expression on the face of Rebecca, who was in the distance in the distance, suddenly froze, and the girl stretched her neck nervously to look around, and the next second she met Gawain's eyes, and immediately shrunk her neck and trotted all the way to this side.

"Ancestor...... Rebecca came to Gawain with a nervous expression, "I didn't get into trouble...... I'll ask them how the Sentinel Tower works. ”

“…… If you look back on this kind of problem, you can find a formal place to inquire slowly, how can you catch someone's technician halfway to block the road and inquire," Gawain tapped Rebecca's head casually, and then changed the conversation, "I'm down to business with you - you went with the elves to observe the communication system in the messenger hall before, how about it, do you think the communication technology used by the elves is compatible with neural networks?" ”

Rebecca touched the place that had just been knocked by Gawain, and nodded after confirming that there was no bag: "I studied it carefully, and compared the several rune groups provided by the Silver Empire during the previous technical exchange, it should be feasible overall." In fact, to put it bluntly, the communication technology we use is fundamentally homologous, and they are all many variants of communication, just like the roadbed, and then we modulate it into a magic network signal, and modulate it into a nerve impulse that can be compatible with nerve thorns, which are all paved with different pavements, but the road is still a road ......"

Finally talking about the technical field she is good at, Rebecca's usual simple stupidity was instantly swept away, her eyes lit up, and her mouth crackled and she began to talk non-stop. In fact, there were many things that she didn't need to explain in such detail, and Gawain could understand them completely, but Gawain was still listening patiently at the moment, neither interrupting nor making a sound, with a slight smile on his face - he liked to look at Rebecca so elated.

Finally, the girl's enthusiastic narration came to an end, and Gawain had a chance to speak: "Generally feasible, then what are the difficulties in the details?" ”

"It's still a matter of transcoding and forwarding," Rebecca scratched her hair, "just like the communication line between us and the Silver Empire now, we need a conversion in the middle to connect our magic web communication with the elves' sentinel data link." It's just that communication between us and the Silver Empire is limited to high-level information right now, so a small rune conversion device is sufficient, but if you want to build a public network that can be connected at high speeds even to the people, and will continue to expand in the future, then we will have to build some larger ...... Large ......"

"Do you need a large server...... Rebecca was still thinking of the right words here, but Gawain couldn't help but whisper to herself, "I'm afraid that similar things will be needed to connect to the grid with Typhon in the future......"

"What to take?" Rebecca asked with a curious expression.

"Server, for that 'transform' function you mentioned," Gawain said, reaching out and squeezing Rebecca's own ruffled hair, "No need to think too much about the name, I have a rough plan here...... I just hope that Bertila's brain is enough. ”

Rebecca: "? ”
