The information conveyed by Melita caused Amber to suddenly break out in a fine cold sweat, but Gawain remained calm, he looked into Melita's eyes and asked, "Didn't you think about the problem with that tower before?" ”

"Some compatriots thought of it, but there was nothing we could do about it before," Melita sighed - the current situation in Talrond made the dragon sigh, there were too many embarrassments that were difficult to tell outsiders, but Gawain was one of the few "old friends" of the dragon clan in the mortal kingdoms, and she no longer shy away from saying something here, "The Tower of the Tide is located in the northwest of the continent, and the safe zone we have recovered so far is mainly concentrated on the broken coast southeast of Tallund and the offshore land, which is separated by a vast wasteland, and the environment in the depths of the wasteland is very harshUntil now, we still haven't been able to go too deep, so the only way to know what is going on in that tower is to make a detour from the sea - around a big circle, around the main polluted areas and spatial rifts, which was too much for us not so long ago. ”

"So now you're finally free to focus on the tower?" Amber on the side couldn't help but ask, "There are people over there now...... Is the dragon in charge of surveillance? ”

"After settling the short-term food supply and the synergist backlash of some of the tribesmen, Agundor sent a team to the northwest coast, where they found a safe place to stay and set up a forward camp," Melita nodded, "They will be in contact with Agundor every two days, and although the monitoring is very poor, it is better than nothing." ”

"Contact once every two days?" Gawain immediately frowned, "Could such a loophole be too big?" Two days was enough time for the runaway dragon to fly over the stormy sea. ”

"There's no way," Melita sighed, "Now that the Talrond continent has been cut off, the original Omega network has disintegrated, we have dug some old signal stations out of the rubble, and started a factory to produce small communicators, but these things can only be used to maintain a small area of communication - the team in the forward camp must first fly through a polluted area to the top of the static layer of the atmosphere in order to contact Agundor, and at the same time, Agundor must also have a large polluted area on the southern coast of the Dragon's Flight, Walk near a recently restored communication station and make contact with powerful teleportation spells and amplification aids from the communication station...... Considering the current state of affairs in the forward camp, such a communication once every two days is already the limit. ”

Gao Wen opened his mouth, and the doubts in his heart could only be swallowed back in the end, and after a long time, he turned into a sigh: "...... It doesn't sound easy. ”

"At least we've managed to set up a safe shelter camp near the Broken Coast, and things are already going in a good direction," Melita smiled reluctantly, "and from the news coming back from the forward camp, at least until now, no dragons have been affected by the 'stuff' in the Tide Tower, and the team is monitoring the sea and sky around the tower day and night to make sure no sapient creatures are allowed there." ”

Gawain listened to Melita's words and was silent for a moment before he said, "Is this what Helagore said in his letter?" ”

Melita nodded, "Yes." ”

"Maybe I'm too careful," Gawain frowned, "A lot of times, when your boss tells you, 'The market may be sluggish next', in fact, the market has already collapsed......"

Melita was obviously taken aback by Gawain's words, and she was visibly nervous, but she quickly calmed down and shook her head after a short thought: "I don't think so...... Hragor is a sane and powerful leader, he cannot be vague about this matter, and even if the judgment of the leader of Hlagor fails, I believe Speaker Andal, who is always concerned about the problem of the tower. ”

Gawain groaned and nodded slightly, "Well, we should trust the judgment of the two leaders. But as Hlagor said, there is nothing wrong with that tower now, and sooner or later it will be a hidden danger in the future......"

"But at this stage, I'm afraid we won't be able to solve that tower," Amber on the side couldn't help but say, "The most capable dragon clan is already lying down, and the gods who can suppress that tower are only eggs, and there is only one mortal country left in the world, the Loren Continent - but the strongest combat power of all countries and can go to sea is only one Winter." Besides, even if the remaining ships under construction were all completed and tested and trained in an instant, the fleet that was put together would not be able to defeat that ancient legacy, right? ”

Gawain couldn't help but glance at the shame of all things, who was seriously analyzing the situation - every word of this thing was so hateful, but what was even more annoying was that what she said was actually right......

He shook his head and sighed - as one of the most trusted people around him, and as the Empire's Minister of Intelligence, Amber now knew no less about many ancient secrets than he did, and in most cases, this guy's flexible thinking and keen eye could help him solve a lot of problems, but it would be better if she could be a little more particular about this mouth. Anyway, when she met Rosetta before, she was still well-founded, wise and brave, why did she return to the state of running the train with her mouth full after work - is it because she doesn't pay for overtime?

"It can't be defeated, and based on the strength of the Eternal Slab, I doubt that our weapons will be able to break through the tower's defenses," Gawain put away his scattered thoughts and said with a serious expression, "What we can do at this stage is to complete the establishment of the joint cordon as soon as possible, especially to deploy enough anti-aircraft firepower in the northern coastal areas of the continent as soon as possible, to ensure that we can completely shoot down the contaminated dragons if they appear." Anyway, not a single polluter could be allowed to enter the country to contact the intelligent creatures of the Loren continent...... Divine contamination is too damning. ”

"And a warning at the follow-up meetings," Melita said, "to make them understand that contaminated dragons are more dangerous than dragons that simply prey on food, and that the latter may be able to communicate, the former...... Contact is a natural disaster. ”

Amber rolled her eyes beside her, "I have some sympathy for the delegates - their mood must have been up and down several times these days." ”

"Exercising their minds will help them improve their ability to withstand stress, and they'll be able to use it sooner or later," Gawain said casually, then with a thoughtful look, "But now there's a problem...... How do we identify dragons that are polluted against the tide and dragons who are simply hungry and want to plunder food? After all, it makes sense that we should all try to keep the dragons who can still be saved. ”

Gawain's words were very subtle, but the part he didn't finish was actually obvious - to keep those that could still be saved as much as possible, which meant that if there was really no way to sift through them, then he could only shoot down all the unrecognizable dragons close to the Loren continent, which may not sound very good, but once the joint warning circle of the sea and air was established, with the strength of the three empires now grouped together, the dragons in a weakened state ...... It's completely achievable.

Hearing Gawain's words, Melita showed a look of wanting to speak, looking embarrassed and hesitant.

This intrigues Amber: "What's wrong? There is a way but it is not easy to do? ”

The look of embarrassment on Melita's face was even more obvious, but she finally nodded: "Actually...... In his letter, the head of Hlagor has already mentioned a more effective method of identification, which is not difficult to implement......"

Gawain and Amber didn't say a word, and looked at her with curiosity on their faces.

"You know, the biggest difference between the dragons affected by the Tower of the Tide and the dragons who came purely for plunder is their motivation for coming to Loren," Melita said helplessly, "The biggest motive for dragons affected by the tide to go to the civilized world is to spread 'knowledge pollution', this kind of spiritual suggestion will even suppress their physiological instincts, so they will rush straight to the place where intelligent beings are most dense, while the biggest motive for other dragons to come to the Loren continent is hunger ......"

Gao Wen suddenly realized: "I understand, set up a table of wine on the ground, and those who fly straight towards the food can still be discussed, and ignore those who directly cross the border or go straight to the crowd to sell the course and kill on the spot." ”

“…… This statement is a bit too simplistic and crude, but the general process is right," Melita said helplessly, "In addition, even if this method is used to screen, it cannot be ruled out that there will be accidental injuries, so if you can, as long as the conditions allow, I hope you will ensure the survival of those dragons as much as possible and contact the nearest Tallrond air team, and we will rush to the scene to identify and deal with it in the shortest possible time." Of course, we know that this is not an easy requirement, so please do your best. ”

Gawain nodded: "Of course, our initial goal was to 'stay alive' as much as possible, after all, we have already made an agreement that every 'dragon refugee' who survives and gets rescued means that Typhon or Cecil or the Silver Empire will get a dragon mercenary who has been indentured to serve for a hundred years - I remember this very well." ”

The expression on Melita's face was a little complicated: "Yes, there is this 'deal' agreement between Talrond and the three empires......"

Gawain looked at Miss Blue Dragon's somewhat depressed expression and sighed softly: "This may indeed be some kind of deal, but it can effectively protect those dragons who have a chance to be rescued, isn't it?" We can't underestimate humanity, but we can't overestimate it either—cold deals, sometimes for fresh lives. ”

"You're right, I shouldn't be subject to feelings in this matter."

"Okay, the basic plan has been decided, this topic will end here," Gao Wen coughed lightly, changing the topic in a slightly raised tone, and also adjusting the atmosphere of the scene, "There is something I want to talk to you about - I haven't thought about when to discuss with you, but it just so happens that you are here tonight." ”

Melita showed a hint of curiosity: "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you remember what you said today to the representative who questioned the events in Talrond?" Gawain smiled, "About the thrilling and safe trip to Tallund......"

"Ah, I was a little angry," Melita said at once, "and I actually thought about it later......"

"Thinking about it later, I think it's really okay," Gawain nodded with a serious face without waiting for the other party to finish, "If you can really guarantee that the travelers can safely travel to and from Talrond and have a certain level of visiting in the safety of the wasteland, then this matter will be even more fine......

Melita: "?? ”

"What do you mean by that? When I'm kidding? Gawain glanced at the Blue Dragon Lady, "I'm very serious now—aren't you Tallrond short of money and food right now?" Isn't it impossible to find a breakthrough in commercial docking with the Loren Continent? There are many valuable technologies and legacies buried in your wasteland, but it is not easy to realize those things quickly, and the continent of Loren can provide you with a certain level of food aid, but relying on aid will not solve long-term problems - so the most important thing for you at this stage is to open up a business field that can take shape quickly, generate profits quickly, have long-term value, and can operate normally, and your speech today reminds me that the unique wasteland of Talrond may be a good idea......"

Melita listened in a daze, almost unable to keep up with Gawain's train of thought, and after finally confirming that the other party was really not joking, she finally couldn't help but say, "Wait, stop, friend, stop - that's a wasteland!" Where dragons have a hard time surviving, do you mean to let races such as humans and elves with more fragile constitutions 'visit' there? ”

"I didn't say you were going to actually send travelers into those deadly polluted areas - didn't you say there were safe zones on the broken coast and offshore land southeast of Talrond? And I've also heard from Kassandra that the environment there is quite acceptable for the average race, as long as the dragons can provide some protection and the boundaries of the security zone are well guarded, it is not possible to receive guests from the Loren continent? ”

"This ...... Theoretically seems to be possible? Melita thought for a moment, nodded a little uncertainly, but then a bigger question popped up, "But is there really a lot to be gained by doing this?" Could it be that so many people would spend money to go to the wasteland to find their own hardships? There are many magnificent mountains and rivers in the world with stunning scenery, and there are ......"

Gawain interrupted the other party: "Yes, there are many magnificent mountains and rivers in the world with charming scenery, but there is only one Talrond - a similar wasteland landscape except for Talrond is the Gondor polluted area in the center of the Loren continent, but the Gondor wasteland obviously cannot be used for 'visiting', it is full of forbidden areas for life, Tallund is different, some areas of it may be more dangerous than the Gondor wasteland, but other areas still have development value."

"As for whether you say that there really are so many people who spend money to make their own lives in the wasteland—I tell you, of course there are, and there are a lot of them."

When Gawain said this, many memories of his past life could not help but pop up in his mind, and he said to himself in thought: "Don't underestimate the 'adventurous spirit' of human beings, and don't underestimate their curiosity...... To you, Tallund is a traumatized ruin, full of existential crises, but for many, it is a land of legends and mysteries, even if it is now destroyed by war, it is the ruins of a holy place, where a ruined house, a broken wall, and even a charred stone are fatal to the curious explorer.

"And what you have to do is very simple - just find these people, bring them safely to Talrond, make sure they don't actually kill themselves in the process of dying, and then ask them for money."
