In the empty and boundless shadow world, the two former gods looked at each other, and the magic web terminal not far away was still projecting the wonderful program of the day, but Mirmina and Amun's attention was no longer on the program at this moment.

The silence lasted for a while, and Mirmina couldn't help but break the silence: "Or ...... Are you scratching? ”

Amon's voice became even more eerie than before: "Are you serious? ”

Mirmina stood there for two seconds, a little overwhelmed by the situation she saw (though she didn't have one), something she had never encountered in her long memories as a god: "Or ...... I'll help you scratch? ”

“…… For the sake of letting you use the magic web terminal these days......" Ammon's voice even staccatolate, "I feel more and more weird......"

"Okay." Mirmina sighed helplessly, and walked in the direction of the holy deer, saying casually as she went: "I am suddenly curious—have you not been in a similar situation in the past three thousand years?" ”

Amone's voice was a little muffled: "Yes." ”

"And how did you solve it?"

“……”

"Okay, I see."

Mirmina came to Amon's side, and she looked at the former god, who had been pinned to the shattered earth by the legacy of the Voyager - the large, holy body was pierced by fragments of metal and crystal, and the fragments of the wreckage that penetrated through the body seemed to make even the god feel horrified, although considering that the god itself was a life form between "spirit" and "thing", this physical injury would theoretically be painless after the healing of this body, but Mirmina looked at them with some silence. Amone quickly became aware of it and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Mirmina casually asked, holding out her hand, "These injuries look scary...... Is this the location? ”

"A little bit higher, a little higher...... Hey, it's so much more comfortable......" Ammon let out a slight sigh, "I can't see what's going on behind me, but these things look scary right now." The initial trauma is over, and I'm in a state of 'symbiosis' with these things now, and I don't feel anything. ”

Mirmina nodded thoughtfully, and then her gaze fell on one of the alloy shards that pierced through the body of the giant deer, and she stared at the shard, looking at the illusory form where its edges merged with flesh and blood, and its brief silence once again aroused Amone's curiosity: "Mirmina, what have you found again?" ”

“…… Can't you really move? Mirmina lifted her eyelids slightly and looked in the direction of Amone's eyes, "Can't move at all?" ”

"Of course, these things have pinned me to this broken earth, don't you see?" Amone sighed as he spoke, "It's so sturdy...... To be honest, sometimes I regret that I shouldn't have spared so much effort when I hit the space station, and I almost died. Well? Why don't you talk again, Mirmina? ”

Mirmina didn't respond, just stared at the legacy of those who set sail for a long time, not knowing what to think, and after a long silence, she shook her head slightly: "It's nothing. ”

"Really? It's inexplicable......"

……

The world-renowned 112 Conference came to a successful conclusion, and the good news of the Alliance's establishment spread through all the information channels of the mortal nations, and the events that were enough to change the world were like waves spreading on the surface of the sea to the entire mortal civilization circle one by one, and before all this news gradually sank into the people, gradually fermented and had an impact in all walks of life and fields, the leaders and plenipotentiaries of the parties participating in the conference had left the conference hall on the edge of the wasteland and embarked on a long journey back to the countries.

In Cecil, in the southern part of the east, the warm wind blows through the wilderness, suppressing the tall pine leafy vegetables and the nameless tall grass on the roadside, there is a lot of traffic in the increasingly lush countryside, there are convoys of goods and agricultural machinery speeding down the avenue, the towering magic hub tower points to the blue sky at the end of the cultivated land, the constant magic emitted by the tower nourishes all the magic equipment in the vast area, and the projection crystal under the tower plays real-time time, weather, magic radiation and imperial decree dynamics, A magical train was speeding past the charged track at the edge of the wilderness, the roar of the train echoing far across the field.

Gawain sat in his place, looking out the window and feeling slightly relieved—he was finally back in the land of Cecil, back in the country he had built with his own hands, and it gave him an indescribable sense of security. Opposite him, the Silver Empress was staring out the window with a curious look, and a high-ranking maid named "Elaine" was sitting beside the Silver Empress.

After the 112 Conference, the Silver Empress did not return to the south with the elven mission, but came to Cecil with Gawain, of course, in response to that special "invitation", but in the public news, she was on a state visit to "further exchange ideas with the Cecil Empire on the sharing of technology".

"What a beautiful view...... Although it is not as vibrant and exuberant as our great forests, there is a sense of exuberance that emanates from the land...... I can even feel the deep emotions that the people who built this land have accumulated in this land," Belsetia finally withdrew her gaze from the window, and sighed in her tone, "It reminds me of the pioneering cities of hundreds of years ago...... I have rarely felt anything like this in recent centuries. ”

Gawain couldn't help but laugh, he knew that Belsetia was not simply complimenting or poetic description, but was speaking very bluntly about his feelings - elves have different perception methods and neural structures than humans, they can indeed "see" or "hear" some things that other races cannot perceive, and in their perception system, the collective emotions and memories left by living beings on the earth are as obvious and natural as colors and smells. The Silver Empress said that she felt those things in the land, so those things must have existed.

"Many areas have been rebuilt hard after the war, and the eastern route is not really the place where the most reconstruction has been done, but the most significant change is probably the eastern wing of the plain of the Whitsundays—where the world has been turned upside down, and the whole land, as Soldling has said, seems to be 'glowing with a bright and fiery light,' and although I can't see what that is, I can feel it." ”

"I'm looking forward to my trip to the Plains of the Holy Spirit in the future, I've been longing for the legendary 'Thorin Tree' for a long time," Belsetia said earnestly, "Is there a tall magic device like this everywhere like here?" ”

“…… If you walk along the railway line or the riverbank, you can see a lot, but in fact most of the land in the rest of the empire is still in a relatively backward state," Gawain thought about it, and said calmly, "We now have advanced magic technology, but the construction must still be done step by step, the places that can be covered by modern transportation at present are relatively prosperous, and other areas still need to work hard." ”

“…… In most countries, it is enough for a city directly connected to a major road to prosper," Belsetia said lightly, and outside the window of her car, a new village was slowly receding in the distance, the sun shining on the brand-new rooftops, "even in Typhon...... It seems that you want to cover every village and town with the magic web and the magic machine, which is quite an ambition. ”

"It's not an ambition, but I take it for granted that all people are free from poverty and ignorance," Gawain said, and then casually changed the subject, "Speaking of the popularization of magic technology...... I'm a little curious about the application of the 'magic web' and rune logic in the Silver Empire...... It is said that you have successfully repaired the anti-gravity engine of the Star Temple? ”

"We haven't fixed the engine yet, but with the help of the magic web, we have restored the core power of the Star Sanctuary to the state it was at least a thousand years ago, which has already excited countless mages," Belsetia smiled, "and then our goal is to really get our hands on those ancient engines...... It's a bold restoration, no elf has dared to do it in years, and luckily my chief astrology Vilania is on the side of the supporters. ”

“…… Vilania, I have an impression of the name," Gawain recalled the inherited memories, and a strange smile couldn't help but emerge from the corners of his mouth, "Ah, I still remember Anthony's brave courtship to Lady Vilania after a serious drunken experience...... It was the biggest embarrassment of the Holy Covenant Night, and Charlie and I even had to tie up the bull with ropes. ”

"The greater embarrassment actually happened after that meeting," Beersettia's expression became subtle, "The Great Star Sorcerer didn't realize it was a 'confession' until she returned to the Silver Empire—she had never been confessed by a human or any humanoid, so she was annoyed for many, many years after realizing that it was actually an admirer who she had knocked over with an arcane missile in her panic...... Of course, very few people knew about this, not even Lady Vilania's chief disciple. ”

“…… So how do you know? ”

"I went into her lab and stole honey and heard her hide behind a cabinet — don't look like that, I was very young."

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little delicate for a while, and Gawain didn't know why the topic came in such a strange direction, he subconsciously glanced at the high-ranking maid sitting next to the Silver Empress, and just wanted to say something, he heard Belsetia suddenly say: "By the way, Elaine, forget what you just heard." ”

The high-ranking maid nodded without changing her face: "Yes, Your Majesty, I have forgotten about it." ”

Gawain: "......"

Is it so casual?

On the spot, he wanted to call Amber out and let the other party forget what had just happened, but he was afraid that the other party would be holding a small notebook to record what had just happened after he appeared, so he could only end the current topic stiffly: "It seems that we shouldn't talk about a lady behind our backs, especially since she is also your chief great star magician." ”

"You started the 'private conversation' first."

“…… Well, we'd better not discuss this kind of thing in front of Vilania in the future," Gawain scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, and then noticed that the expression on Belsetia's face was a little different from just now, and she looked at this side with a relaxed smile, as if there was a sparkle in her eyes, "What's wrong?" Suddenly so happy. ”

"Now I have some of the feeling of chatting with Uncle Gawain." Belsetia said with a smile.

……

In the Silver Empire, the Temple of the Stars, and in the Deep Magic Laboratory, Vilania, the great star sorcerer who was standing on a high platform controlling the complex and huge rune array in the laboratory, suddenly sneezed loudly, followed by several sneezes in a row.

One of the apprentices who was waiting by the nearby monitoring circle was immediately alarmed and trotted up to Vilania: "Mentor, are you unwell? ”

The Great Star Sorcerer, who was wearing a lilac skirt robe and had long golden hair pulled up high, shook his head, and there was a hint of confusion on his still beautiful face: "Don't worry, it's just a few sneezes...... What are the observations compared to this? ”

"Still exposed by the noise, Mentor," the apprentice suddenly showed a regretful expression, he beckoned to the side, and a metal plate based on inert demonic guide metal and coated with a special absorption and curing layer floated over from the nearby installation table, and on the surface of the absorption and solidification layer of the metal plate, large patches of color and irregular noise could be seen, "The new purification field does not seem to be working, and the pattern formed by the magic flow in the dark room is completely covered by these interference lines, and it is not even time to observe." ”

Vilania frowned slightly, her gaze lingering for a long time on the worthless metal plate, a palpable look of disappointment on her face.

The apprentice couldn't help but show a somewhat worried look: "Mentor......"

"Nearly half a century ago, I theorized about the nature of magic fluctuations...... I still can't find any evidence to prove it," Vilania smiled a little self-deprecatingly, but quickly waved her hand, "Don't let my emotions affect me, I'm just a little emotional." Let's put the device in order, turn it off for now, and we'll learn from it later and design a new protocol. ”

"Yes, Mentor."

"By the way," before the apprentice left, Vilania suddenly remembered something, "What is the contact time with Master Carmel?" ”

"Two hours to go," the apprentice said, glancing at the clock not far away, "would you like to go and rest first?" Mr. Sockwell came to you before, and he invited you to the Golden Leaf Pavilion for afternoon tea......"

"Is it Sockwell from the AI team?"

"No, the head of the AI team is Mr. Sokveron, and Mr. Sokwell is in charge of the eastern part of the palace......"

With a wave of her hand, Vilania flew off the platform lightly, and said as she walked to the door, "Oh, then I won't go, I thought there was some progress on the AI team...... I went to the library to find some materials, two hours should be enough. ”

"Mr. Sockwell's ......"

"You help tell him, the lunch discount of the Golden Leaf Pavilion doesn't have to be two people to go together, he can go by himself."

The Great Star Warlock's voice fell, and the figure had disappeared outside the gate not far away, and the apprentice stood in the middle of a pile of rune circles that had turned into automatic operation, looking at the direction where the mentor's back disappeared for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "...... Yes, Mentor. ”
