The Iron Man Technique of the Gondor Empire - Gawain actually doesn't know much about this, although he has the memory inherited from Gawain Cecil, but even Gawain Cecil back then was only the lowest knight apprentice from the border region of Gondor, and his limited knowledge came from a few rural teachers, and this level of education obviously does not involve much about "Iron Man Technology".

In Gao Wen's own understanding, this technology is strong artificial intelligence + bionic robots, which are cutting-edge technologies both on the earth and in this world.

But in his limited cognition, at least one thing is certain: all the Iron Men belong to the "Iron Man Corps" from the day they leave the production line, whether they are sent to various legions in the interior or to a certain outpost on the border, the Iron Men cannot be separated from this "Corps", and the relevant logic is written into the lowest level of their mental core, according to their own ability...... It can't be changed.

As a former member of the Gondor royal family, Veronica/Ophelia apparently knew this as well.

Therefore, after seeing a "Iron Man Soldier" who claimed to have left the Iron Man Corps, even she couldn't help but be surprised: "Broke away from the Iron Man Corps? How did you do that? ”

Diana shook her head: "I don't remember, my memory device malfunctioned, and I lost a lot of content after repairing it - I just know that I am indeed out of the Corps, and I have a clear understanding of this in my mental core." ”

Veronica's expression was serious, she looked seriously at the Iron Man soldier who had been active in the human world for hundreds of years for some reason, and her tone was as gentle as ever: "So, you are now serving the royal family of the Typhonns?" ”

"Yes," Diana bowed slightly, "they took me in and repaired me, and I swear to serve their family." ”

"Gratitude...... Normal Iron Man doesn't seem to make this kind of logical judgment, but it doesn't matter," Veronica shook her head slightly, "Do you mind if I ask you a few more questions?" ”

Diana glanced at Veronica, and after a moment of thought, she nodded, "As long as it doesn't break the oath I made to the House of Augustus, and at the same time it doesn't violate the logic of my mind." ”

"It's just some of the past...... Veronica said gently, "do you remember where you were and what you did?" ”

Diana reminisced for a moment and nodded, "I was one of the guards at the Vipranton Observatory, responsible for the safety of Sir Scott Planding and Mr. Alphonse Hall. ”

"Do you remember the outbreak of the Demon Tide? Were you still at the Observatory? ”

“…… This memory is partially missing, but it can be largely restored," Diana hesitated slightly, but then nodded, "I confirm that I worked at the observatory until the last moment before the magic tide broke out, but I have no memory of the specific situation at that time. ”

Veronica thought for a moment and asked, "And after that?" What do you remember? ”

"My memory has been long blank since then, and since my consciousness has come back online I have come to a kingdom that has been re-established by the remnants of Gondor, and at that time it was called the 'Kingdom of Typhon,'" Diana replied, "I was recovered by their court scholars and mages, who, according to them, had fallen on the edge of the Great Wall with a badly damaged body, and they took me to Orlandelle as a study sample, and it took nearly thirty years to reawaken me...... At that time, it was the 47th year of Typhon. ”

"It took them thirty years to fix you?" Gawain, who had been listening quietly and without interrupting at this time, finally couldn't help but speak, "And it was already the 47th year of Typhon at that time...... In other words, you wandered for more than a decade after the outbreak of the Demon Tide before being discovered by the humans near the Great Wall? ”

"In terms of time, it is," Diana said calmly, "but I can't be sure whether I was wandering the wasteland for more than ten years or being 'outside the walls' near the wasteland, and this part of my memory is completely missing." ”

“…… In the Demon Tide, almost all the unprotected Iron Man soldiers were damaged by the impact, so you should be operating outside the walls, but there are no absolutes in the world, and your mental core state is a little strange, which may indicate that you were lucky to 'live' the impact of the Demon Tide," Veronica said thoughtfully, "Anyway, you have lost the memory of the time between the outbreak of the Demon Tide and your entry into the human realm...... Is it really not impressive at all? ”

Diana has a very human expression of thought and distress, and although this change in expression is relatively subtle, one cannot but marvel at the almost indifference between her and the real person. Then she shook her head: "I only remember a very brief and vague impression that Sir Scott Planting had ordered me to go north-east, and I don't remember anything else. ”

The name of this sir had appeared for the second time, and Amber couldn't help but ask, "Who is that Sir Scott Plantin?" ”

It wasn't Diana who answered her, but Veronica, who was holding a platinum scepter at the side, the old rebel who apparently knew more about the upper echelons of the ancient Gondor empire than Gawain: "He was the administrator of the Vipranton Observatory at the time. ”

"Then it's obvious, when the magic tide broke out, the director of the Viplanton Observatory ordered his bodyguards to evacuate and run to the safe area, and then this lady did so, but she may not be as fast as the magic tide, and she didn't act with the fleeing troops at that time, so most of them were caught up by the demon tide - after being damaged, they wandered between the wasteland and the human kingdom for more than ten years, until they were finally discovered by the Typhonians at that time, and then they were repaired for thirty years, and after repairing, they were able to move, but most of their memories were lost...... That's basically how it should be," Amber pinched her chin, her two pointed ears trembling, and the head of the analysis was the first to say, but then she scratched her hair and looked at Gawain, "By the way, where is that Viplanton Observatory?" ”

"Near the northern border of Gugondor, close to the scorch marks of magical energy," Gawain flipped through the map in his mind, looking at Diana and said casually, "If you start from there and head northeast, as long as there is no major deviation in the direction, you should encounter the eastern end of the Dark Mountains, when the Black Forest has not spread there, so you have a chance to climb over the mountains and go directly to the northern part of the Shadow Swamp...... It was indeed the territory of Typhon. It was a difficult journey, and I should congratulate you on completing it safely. ”

Diana bowed her head slightly to Gawain: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"That's not much of a compliment," Gawain waved his hand, then glanced at Diana curiously, "then...... Did you tell Rosetta Augustus about these things? ”

"I beg my pardon for having no comment." The black-haired maid said in a calm but firm tone.

“…… It seems that you don't talk to strangers about anything that involves your master," Gawain was not surprised, "but I guess he knows, and he must know more than we do—the Augustus family must have inquired about everything they could in hundreds of years." ”

Diana still maintained that nonchalant expression, neither affirming nor denying, not even acquiescing—it was only then that she embodied a "quality" that was different from that of a real person, and that there was really no information about the face covered in bionic skin and steel and polymers inside.

Later, Veronica and Gawain asked a few more questions, and without violating the principle, Diana answered some of them - for Veronica's "face", the lady's attitude was actually quite cooperative, but she did not reveal any valuable information after all.

After all the questions and answers were over, Diana's eyes swept between Gawain, Veronica, and Amber, and she asked with plenty of patience, "So, can I leave?" Or are you going to dismantle me for more information? ”

"Ah, of course not," Gawain was stunned and quickly waved his hand, and then he couldn't help but fall into a brief hesitation, but after a quick weighing, he still nodded, "You can leave, Lady Diana." ”

"Thank you, then, for taking care of you during this time." The black-haired maid bowed slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt again, and then she deliberately bent down to salute Veronica next to her, and then took a half step back, and the figure gradually disappeared into thin air.

After waiting for a few seconds after the other party's figure and aura disappeared, Amber suddenly looked at Gao Wen: "Really let her go like this?" If you regret it, I can stop it—she's left a clear mark on the edge of the Shadow Realm, and I can track it down. ”

To be honest, Gawain was really a little entangled in his heart, after all, such a special Gondor Iron Man who might hide countless secrets left under his nose, and the experience behind the other party was really unbearable and curious, but after the entanglement, he still shook his head: "We can't detain the emissary sent by Typhon for no reason - especially such a special 'emissary'." ”

Diana did have a lot of secrets, but Gawain thought about it, these secrets did not seem to involve the core interests of either Typhon or Cecil, and at this stage they could only be used to satisfy his own curiosity, and it was not worth it to threaten the current fragile and dangerous balance between the two countries in order to dig up these secrets.

It's a long time coming.

He figured that this would not be the last time he would deal with the "Gondor Lady".

"Actually, I'm a little worried that the Typhonians will know some of our ...... from her mouth Sensitive information," Amber obviously has more worries, this usually smug half-elf is still quite sharp in terms of intelligence, "For example, Veronica just said her identity, wouldn't it be a bit ...... to let people go like this Sloppy? ”

"How did I not know you were so alert?" Gawain glanced at Amber in surprise, and then shook his head with a smile before the other party jumped up, "It's good to be smart, Veronica's identity is indeed a bit special, but ...... What kind of threat do you think this information will pose to Cecil when it reaches Rosetta's ears? ”

Amber was stunned for a moment, subconsciously pinched her chin, and muttered as she thought, "There doesn't seem to be a clear threat...... Rosetta couldn't do anything specific about this information...... But this is important information after all, and someone like Rosetta will grasp and make good use of all valuable information. ”

"Yes, he's probably going to think about it," Gawain said slowly, "but that's okay, in a sense, I don't mind if he knows more about the Disobedient, including some 'little secrets' on our side...... It would have been better if he could have thought a little more about these little secrets, and even lost sleep for a few nights because of them. ”

Amber blinked, stared at Gawain for a long time, and finally only muttered: "I'm afraid I'm not calculating again......"

Gawain didn't seem to hear Amber's muttering, and he noticed that Veronica had been a little distracted since just now, which was a very rare situation for the other party, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Are you still thinking about that 'Diana'? ”

"It's nothing," Veronica shook her head, "I do think about her, but it doesn't matter. ”

As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and glanced into the distance, then retracted her gaze and said to Gawain, "Please allow me to retire - I have been 'watching' for too long, and I am a little tired." ”

"Of course," Gawain immediately agreed, "it's hard work, go and rest." ”

Watching the "Holy Princess" leave the courtyard, Gawain exhaled slightly, and at the same time thought of a detail just now:

When Veronica looked into the distance, she didn't seem to be looking at Winterhold, where Diana theoretically had returned, but in the direction of the Gondor wasteland.

This made him think for a moment, but soon he shook his head and put the matter aside for the time being: he had other things to do.

Gawain raised his right hand, his gaze falling on a silver-white ring on his finger.

He recalled his recent trip to Talrond, and recalled his last conversation with the dragon god Enya—a conversation that ended with the sudden change of situation in the continent of Loren, and the change of the god of war.

Now that the battle on the Winter Castle Line has finally ended, and the battle on the Winter Castle Line has settled, perhaps I should contact the dragons, who may also be watching the situation of this catastrophe.

Gawain curled his fingers, gently rubbing the surface of the Mithril Ring.

Subtle magic flows in this light and sophisticated magical device, communicating distant Talrond, and yet......

No response.

……

In the north of the Loren Continent, on the top of the towering mountains of the Holy Dragon Principality.

The cold wind whistled through the mountains, and the snow that blew down from the top of the Dragon Leap Cliff swirled in the wind, passing through the huge stone buildings that lined the high mountains, and rolling up the thick and quaint façade of the Dragon Landing Castle, and being held out by the blazing braziers and invisible dragon magic.

Grand Duke Baloger Kernar stood on a circular platform at the highest point of Dragon's Land, and he lifted the protective barrier around the platform, allowing the howling cold wind to stir up his gray hair and heavy cloak.

His gaze pierced through the wind and snow and looked in the direction of the sea to the north.

Omega's voice was whistling in his brain, but as a special "outcast", he still kept his flesh and blood brain thinking until this moment, and did not respond to Omega's call.

But even then, it's time for him to "go home".
