The peeping and faint warning from the soul faded away, but it wasn't until a few minutes later that Melita and Noretta were completely relieved - and at this moment, the mighty dragon would also realize the fact that even if the dragon is the master of the sky in the eyes of mortals, the supernatural beings of the legends, but in essence, dragons ...... It is nothing more than a "human" race.

"That's what it is...... God's direct warning...... Noreta bit her lip with a very bad face, her brows furrowed, "It's not the same feeling as the soul punishment, but it's just as uncomfortable......"

"This is only the lightest 'reminder,'" the Speaker's voice came from the Psychic Throne, which sounded a little older, "Children, you don't want to face the gods' true 'warning'. ”

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

Speaker Andal gave the young blue dragon a deep look.

Melita, who is one of the more prominent and bold of the younger generation, has cultivated a personality that is different from other dragons through her years of activity in the human world, and has also made her still dare to ask one more question in this situation.

However, the dragons need such a young generation.

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

……

Hellagore bowed his head respectfully and humbly, and the middle-aged dragon priest stood beside the blonde god, pursing his lips tightly, as if he did not dare to say a word.

And the graceful and noble god stood at the end of the terrace of the palace, in the light of a sky near dusk, and she looked down on the dragon-ruled kingdom from this temple near the clouds, her eyes did not seem to fall on anything concrete, but Hragor, who could feel the power of the gods, knew that in the moment now, I don't know how many transcendent, mortal incomprehensible "eyes" were looking in the direction of the Mithril Treasury and the headquarters of the Council—a gaze like this had not been seen in many years.

"My lord," said Hragore, with a humble gesture, before he whispered, "perhaps it was just the recklessness of some young people......

There was a suffocating silence in the air, and Hagere could hear his own heartbeat, but after a few seconds of silence, the blonde figure at the end of the terrace finally spoke, and his tone sounded gentle, unhurried: "Don't be nervous, I can tell the difference between intentional offense and unintentional mistake."

"There was just a little accident, a young dragon came back from outside, but she didn't know what she had brought back - she shouldn't be punished for this mistake."

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

"He" raised his head and looked at the distant sky, his gaze as if through the clouds and the atmosphere, casting his gaze into the depths of the starry sky.

"Signal...... Ryujin said softly as if talking to herself, but her words gradually made Hragore, who had just relaxed, tense up again, "Human civilization on the other continent...... There were some surprises. Is it called the Cecil Empire, Hragor, its ruler, a human hero who has risen from the dead? ”

"Yes, my lord," replied Hragore, bowing his head at once, "his name is Gawain Cecil, who was active in the northern part of Loren seven hundred years ago, and who came back from the dead a few years ago. ”

"Huh...... How can mortals be so easy to resurrect from the dead? Ryujin smiled and shook his head, "He...... Maybe it's an interesting person, but I'm starting to get curious about him. ”

……

Sitting at the desk he was most familiar with, with the warm summer breeze blowing into the room through the open window, this summer afternoon was comfortable and relatively leisurely, but Gawain suddenly shivered inexplicably.

Hetty, who was sitting next to him sorting out some documents, noticed this scene and immediately asked with some concern, "Ancestor, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing," Gawain shook his head, but with a confused look on his face, "just suddenly felt a chill, as if he was being targeted by something...... Odd. ”

Gao Wen's tone was very indifferent, but Hetty immediately became serious, and glanced at Gao Wen with a serious face: "The intuition of a legendary powerhouse? Do you feel snooping with malice? ”

"No, it's not that serious...... Gawain couldn't help but shake his head with a smile when he looked at Hetty's serious appearance, "It's probably just a distraction, I don't feel prying eyes, let alone malicious intent." ”

"It's better to be cautious," Hetty was still serious, "A legendary powerhouse like you can often produce a strong intuitive prediction, and when it comes to his own safety, this intuition is even close to the legendary 'foreknowledge' - now that the country has just stepped on the right track, all key projects and projects are at a critical time, and I don't know how many enemies are hiding in the shadows looking for opportunities for destruction." I suggest that the security of the imperial capital be strengthened in the near future, and that people entering and leaving the capital be screened to prevent assassination. ”

"It's a bit too much...... Gawain looked at his great-great-granddaughter in front of him with a smile, "how can I work so hard just because I'm shivering—and with Amber and her MIA operatives and Sölderlin's Steel Rangers in security, there's nothing to worry about." ”

Hetty thought for a moment, probably realizing that she had overreacted a bit: "You're right, too. But it doesn't hurt to be a little more vigilant lately. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention, I'll pay attention," Gawain waved his hand, and at this moment he suddenly felt as if he had really become an old man who was being urged by the juniors, and he was helpless and saw that Hetty seemed to want to speak, so he immediately took the lead, "You're not a big boss......"

All of Hetty's words were choked back at once.

"We can talk about security later," Gawain also accepted it when he saw it, and shook his head with a smile, "Let's talk about the matter in front of us." Word came from Typhon, our neighbors...... Most of them are close to discovering the role of the Inverter Array, and it shouldn't be long before they make a breakthrough in communication technology and all other technologies that require a god-arcane hybrid energy mix. ”

What Gawain said here was light and light, but Hetty's eyes widened for a moment: "Inverter Array?!" Typhon people cracking the inverter array? ”

"Don't be so surprised," Gawain glanced at Hetty and said calmly, "Although the inverter array is Gu Gondor's technology, it is only an advanced idea, and its own technology and implementation process are not complicated, and we have a lot of equipment that uses the inverter array, some of which will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Typhonians; In addition, after the events of the upper narrator, the Typhonians are also harvesting the technology of the Eternal Sleepers, and they will inevitably encounter the problem that the magic runes are not compatible with other runes, and they will naturally realize that Cecil has solved this problem, and they will guess that there is some kind of 'transformation technology' behind it, and they will definitely start to study it. ”

Speaking of this, Gawain paused, smiled and shook his head: "In the end, not all the smart people in the world are Cecil, and Typhon also has his own talent pool. And from the perspective of accumulation of heritage, they are afraid that there are only a lot more talents than us. ”

“…… But it's too fast," Hetty said with a frown of unacceptable frowns, "Even if the technology of the inverter array itself is simple, the key is the idea...... If you don't make sense, it is possible to delay the project for several years, how can the people of Tiphon lock the key to the problem in such a short time, and even start to make targeted ...... Yes! Damn, it's those bishops who defected! ”

Hetty suddenly understood something, and a hint of anger appeared on her face: she thought of the Sleeper Bishops who had chosen Typhon, and of the technical high-ranking of those Bishops.

The corresponding authority gave those bishops a large amount of technical information, and the inevitable chaos of the Eternal Sleeper Order in the early days of the Great Evacuation gave those bishops who had long been interested in Typhon the opportunity to inquire about Cecil's information from various sources - they may not be able to inquire about the core secrets, but the technicians are always good at deducing the deep ideas of technology from some external information, and they may have guessed some of the principles of Cecil's magic network communication, and these things became the bishops of the Eternal Sleepers who stayed in Typhon to Rosetta Brown. A gift from Augustus when he surrendered.

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

"And the word 'defection' is also inaccurate, strictly speaking, the Eternal Sleeper who moved with the Archbishops to Cecil is 'defection', for those who remain in Typhon...... Their actions can even be regarded as 'turning away from darkness to light'. ”

"Ancestor," Hettie couldn't help but look at Gawain, "are you still in the mood to joke at this time?" ”

"Is this a critical time?" Gawain shook his head, "Relax, Hety, you're fine in every way, it's just this overly tight attitude that needs to be changed, and it will make you even more tired." We had anticipated the situation as early as the split within the Order of the Sleepers, with the flow of technicians to Cecil and Typhon respectively, with a large number of R&D talents and ready-made technological achievements in the hands of Typhon, who was an old empire with a large number of profound talents, and it was natural for a sudden technological breakthrough of this magnitude.

"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 overall strength of the Typhon people, but the distance that a technology has to travel from the laboratory to the society...... But it's far away. ”

Hetty blinked, looking into Gawain's eyes.

Gawain nodded, and said unhurriedly: "Our magic network communication can be realized, not only by relying on the rune group of the Eternal Sleeper and a simple inverter array, but also involving a large number of engineering fields, mechanical processing fields, materials fields and rune logic, as well as the institutional adaptation behind this and the intervention of interests in countless related fields, each of which is a difficult problem in front of Typhon's eyes, just to name an example...... Do you know what this means when Typhon used a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and time to build a communication system based on communication towers between major cities in the country and between various military locations? ”

Hetty began to look thoughtful.

Gawain didn't wait for Hetty's answer, and said to himself: "It means that hundreds of families have invested money in those communication towers, and it means that hundreds of thousands of merchants, nobles, and transcendents are sharing the profits of those towers, and the main managers and operators of those towers are Typhon's Royal Mage Society, and mages are not noble people who do not eat fireworks in the world - magic research can require a huge amount of financial support, as mentioned in a report by the Military Intelligence Agency last year, Nearly one-third of the annual income of the entire Typhon Royal Mages Guild comes from the teleportation towers they control......"

Hetty's brow furrowed slightly: "You mean ......"

"The newer Magic Network communication technology is indeed more advanced than the teleportation tower, but before the Typhonians completely solve the cost problem, the gap between the two has not reached the point where the former can completely replace the latter...... This is the biggest contradiction," Gawain smiled, "We have laid down this land, outlawed all the privileges of the old aristocracy, and built the magic web communication from scratch, we don't need to face this contradiction, but Rosetta Augustus is engaged in 'peaceful transformation' - Typhon's national communication does not belong exclusively to the royal family, nor to the nobility, nor does it belong entirely to those mages, it is a cake shared by all forces, and this is a big problem." ”

The corners of Hetty's mouth twitched, and he said, "Then it seems that Rosetta the Great is going to have a headache watching his council ruffle under the triple spire again." ”

But soon, Hetty couldn't help but shake her head: "But in any case, the Typhonians still have a new technology, their argument is only temporary, but progress is inevitable - and the Typhonians are not stupid, Rosetta Augustus is a smart person, they know what really matters." ”

"Yes, Typhon will improve," Gawain nodded, then paused slightly before speaking slowly, "but it's not a bad thing......"

……

In the depths of the Lu'an City Cathedral, in the large library of countless precious classics, the archpriest Severn Terry, dressed in simple white robes and without any crown, was slowly walking among the towering and simple bookshelves, while other treasurers and attendants in simple short robes were busy around him, carefully counting and recording those ancient books, moving them in and out, and special clerical staff set up tables in the open space between the bookshelves, carrying out intense and busy registration, transcription, classification and other work.

Cataloguing, preserving, and restoring ancient books is a long, complex, and difficult task that requires patience and obscurity, and it is here that Severn Terry, the former progressive pastor of Lu'an, is here today to organize and restore the church's collection.

He had been doing this work for two full years since he received orders from the Cecil family.
