Looking at Amber, who was suddenly excited, Gawain was a little silent for a while.

There must be something wrong with this goose's brain circuitry. JPG。

He's emotionally incoherent now.

"You...... Let's calm down first," Gawain glanced at the imperial shame helplessly, "I finally want to compliment you twice......"

"Oh, then you boast," Amber immediately crossed her waist, but the next second her attention shifted to something else, "What the hell is going on with this shield?" Didn't you just 'communicate' it? How did you communicate and suddenly smoke? ”

Gawain glanced down at the Guardian Shield on the table, which was gradually cooling, and said casually, "...... Maybe it's putting it under undue pressure. ”

As he spoke, he pondered silently in his heart.

In the process of establishing a connection with the Sky Station, there was a completely different situation from the previous satellite connection, which aroused his alarm.

It seems that even if he has somehow become a "satellite spirit...... When connecting with those ancient facilities in space, it is not necessarily safe, and danger will come from unexpected directions.

Based on the various circumstances that occurred when the connection was interrupted before, Gawain speculated that the reason for this may be due to two aspects - on the one hand, it may be that the "starry relic" of the Guardian Shield has some kind of "upper limit", and it cannot carry the data connection between the human mind and the Sky Station for a long time, which can be confirmed by its current hot state, and on the other hand, it ...... It may be that one's own spirit itself cannot withstand this kind of "communication" beyond the limits of human beings, which can be judged from the experience before his own disconnection.

But as for whether this second restriction is caused by one's own mental strength or the existence of one's own human body, it is difficult to judge for the time being.

At this moment, Amber's voice came from the side, interrupting Gawain's thoughts: "Hey, hey, what do you want?" Anyway, do you need to call someone to take a look? Such a big thing......"

Gawain looked up, "Call Herty—and Kamel and Veronica." ”

Amber was stunned for a moment, then quickly guessed something from Gawain's name, she nodded, and the next second she disappeared into the shadows in the study.

Gawain returned to his desk and looked down at the Guardian Shield, which had completely faded from its scorching red glow.

The silvery-white "Starry Sky Alloy" of unknown material was heating faster than expected, and now when I put my hand on it, there was only warmth left, only the traces left on the desk and the charred and curly paper proved what had just happened.

"I can't ask for this table...... Gao Wen muttered to himself, slowly removing his hand from the surface of the shield, his mind couldn't help but recall the things he had seen in the connected state before, and his mind couldn't help but stir again.

Despite the risks, it was all worth it in terms of the gains.

"Firmament Station......" he whispered, "in terms of scale, it's really worthy ......of its name."

The next moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Roger, repositioning the connection - connected to the Firmament Station." ”

A sense of vertigo suddenly struck without warning, and Gawain's eyes instantly appeared in front of the surveillance perspective of the Sky Station again, and the chaotic images were also overlapped with miniature projections representing the planet's in-orbit facilities and randomly refreshed data and tables, and in the depths of the picture, he could even see his own primitive satellite surveillance perspective - all this came in an instant, but disappeared in an instant in the next second.

Gawain forcibly cut off the connection that suddenly entered his mind, and was scared out of a cold sweat.

His eyes widened as he looked at the Guardian's Shield on the table, which was still lying quietly in place, and he himself ...... There was no contact with the shield at all.

After the discomfort caused by mental exhaustion had subsided slightly, Gawain had the strength to guess what had just happened, and the only explanation he could think of was that his reckless exposure to this "starry heritage" had led to similar results to that of Gawain Cecil, and in the past few dozen minutes, it had established a permanent connection between him and the Sky Station - now he was not only connected to a surveillance satellite, but also to the huge orbiting space station!

And his now depleted spirit was obviously unable to support such a huge data exchange, so the moment he connected just now, he almost lost consciousness before he could see a few screens.

Gawain's brows furrowed tightly, he slowly straightened up his body while holding on to the table, calming his chaotic spirit and breath while staring at the "Shield of the Kingdom Guardian", the thoughts in his mind fluctuated, one thought after another quickly formed, and all kinds of speculations and decisions were born one after another......

But he didn't dwell on it for long—Amber's feet were fast, and it didn't take long for Hetty and the others to be in the study.

The first one to come in was Hetty, who noticed Gawain's terrible and abnormal face at a glance, and was taken aback: "Ancestor? You're ......"

Amber rushed in next, and she was also startled when she saw Gawain: "Oh Mom! Why are you ...... better than you just looked?"

She almost said the words "close to sudden death", it was the dual threat of the Pioneer Sword and the Guardian Shield that made the Shame of the Empire stop her mouth at a critical moment - Gawain glared at her, she had already guessed what this guy wanted to say just now, in all fairness, if she really said it, Gawain would be able to slap the Shame of the Empire to the ceiling with a transcendent solution on the spot......

"I'm fine, it's just the after-effects of excessive mental wear," Gawain waved his hand, slowly picking up his spirits, and looked at Kamel and Veronica, who were entering the study next, "I was trying to activate some of the ancient functions of 'Kingdom Guardian', and it has not been used for many years, and it seems that it is not in good shape. ”

Carmel and Veronica didn't know the truth, but they didn't ask either.

Kamel floated to his desk, and after observing the Guardian's Shield for a moment, a trembling voice came from his arcane-filled body: "Remnants of the Waste Energy Concussion...... It seems that there was a serious energy overload here just now. You're safe and sound, better than anything else. ”

Veronica came to Gawain's side, holding the platinum scepter in one hand and outlining the sacred symbol in the air with the other, and a soft and holy light descended out of thin air and enveloped Gawain's body—the latter immediately felt that most of the discomfort in her body had faded, and even her depleted spirit had recovered much in an instant.

"Thanks," Gawain said to Veronica, "very effective." ”

"What should I do," Veronica said mildly, "and what do you have to call us in?" ”

Gawain glanced at a few people in the study, nodded, and said in a low and serious voice: "I am looking for you to go to a place - the fortress of disobedience. ”

"Fortress of Disobedience?" Kamel immediately said with some surprise, "It's under lockdown right now, because the Shadow Realm isn't safe...... Why do you suddenly want to go there? ”

Gawain was silent for two seconds, and then said slowly, "Go and see the ...... of the god of nature Corpses. ”

Veronica and Carmel subconsciously exchanged a look (the latter didn't have eyes, but he had bright eyes), and they came up with some speculation, but didn't say anything on the spot.

Kamel nodded, "I see—I'll arrange it." ”

"Do you need to call Miss Tyre?" "In a sense, she's against the gods...... Expert. ”

“…… Still don't," Gawain shook his head, "the way she fought the gods is not relevant to us - and it's hard for you to wake her up at this time." ”

"Yes, Ancestor."

……

A huge and magnificent corona hung high above the peaks on the western side of the Dark Mountains, and the celestial bodies with wood-grained lines and cyclone trails were majestically illuminating the world, and in the intertwined light and shadow of sunlight and clouds, a squad of dragoons on flight training was skimming diagonally over the western forest.

On the way to the Fortress of Disobedience, Gawain poked his head out of the car window and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The sky was clear, the clouds were moderate, and the high blue sky seemed extraordinarily empty, and he could see far away, but even if the legendary powerhouse's vision was exerted to the limit, all he could see was blue sky and white clouds, and nothing else.

There is no giant orbital ring covering the sky, no flickering satellite lights and no silhouette of the space station—at the scale of the Firmament Station in a miniature projection, the astonishing colossal physics should cast a magnificent shadow on the earth, even if the entire Cecil Empire is far from the equator, but you should be able to see the magnificent ring as far as you look into the southern sky.

In fact, on any clear day, in most parts of the planet, the Firmament Station should be visible to the naked eye - even the average person can see it clearly.

However, Gawain couldn't see anything, and he could only guess based on his previous impressions and some vague connection at the moment, guessing that a certain arc-shaped megastructure of the Firmament Station was hanging high somewhere at the moment, next to a cluster of satellites accompanying the flight, and further away there was an ancient facility called a "starbridge", and a smaller glow space station operating slightly closer to the atmosphere, and those ancient, cold tombstones staring at the land, their figures completely hidden by some equally ancient optical masking device.

"Ancestor?" Hetty's voice came from the side, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look at the sky," Gawain retracted his gaze to the sky, "the weather is good. ”

Hetty nodded, showing a bright smile: "Yes, the weather has been good lately, many crops in the south have already begun to be harvested, and the new Minister of Agriculture, Romulin, is working on a plan for the cultivation of the next crop......"

Listening to what Hetty casually mentioned, Gawain's originally somewhat impetuous mind suddenly calmed down.

He looked in the direction of the Dark Mountains, where the concrete road leading from the military zone led to the depths of the natural barrier, and in the distance on either side of the road, large fields of farmland were waiting to be harvested or had already been harvested, the crystal light above the communications tower that had been built the year before was glittering, agricultural machinery was parked beside the fields, and a drilling team was laying the first fixed pile in the low-lying area next to the railway......

No matter how many ancient tombstones float in the sky, for the people of this land, at least the weather is really good today.

Gawain leaned back on the seat of the magic guide car and closed his eyes slightly, allowing his still somewhat tired spirit to recover further.

……

After entering the military blockade of the Dark Mountains, into the beneath of the Fortress of Disobedience, through the rifts and gaps of the Shadow Realm, and through the ancient portals of Gondor, Gawain was once again in the deepest part of this ancient facility.

A fortress of disobedience in the Shadow Realm.

The Gondor facility built in the gap between dimensions is not completely asleep, and although Cecil's technicians have emptied all the equipment and materials they can remove, the energy system and the shield system that is integrated with the fortress itself are still functioning quietly.

Ancient lights illuminated the deep corridors and halls, and the walls and energy barriers covered with dense runes protected the place as always, Gawain, Amber, Hetty, Kamal, and Veronica came to the end of the outermost corridor, and Carmel opened the alloy wall here, a glimmering energy barrier separated the corridor from the outside of the corridor, through the almost transparent barrier, the scene outside the fortress was unobstructed.

The shattered, floating boulder of the earth, the ancient restraints and the mass of metal debris imprisoned the massive body like a small mountain, and the pure white light shrouded the corpse of the god of nature, the giant deer, Amon, and the light slowly floated, exuding an endless divine aura.

Veronica looked at the giant deer bound in the "garden" area of the fortress, and her face couldn't help but show a hint of emotion, and she said softly, "I only saw him in the report......"

"After all, you were mainly in charge of the Imperial Capital of Gondor at that time," Gawain glanced at Veronica, "Carmel is the person directly in charge here. ”

"Every time I come back here, I feel uneasy," Carmel said, humming, looking at Gawain, "So, can you tell us what you think?" ”

“…… The main material for the Guardian of the Kingdom Shield comes from the Vipranton Observatory's Supplies Warehouse. Gawain said unhurriedly, as if he had mentioned an irrelevant topic, and Veronica on the side quickly recalled something, the former leader of the disobedient frowned slightly: "I remember that it was one of the research facilities of the Gondor Empire, located in the northern ......"

"Yes, to study the meteorite fragments excavated in the local area - the meteorite rain that fell in the Vipranton area in ancient times," Gawain nodded, "Veronica, you and Carmel should be familiar with this aspect - when was the Vipranton meteorite shower?" ”

Veronica immediately answered: "Almost 3,000 years ago......"

"Yes, the Chipranton meteorite rain happened three thousand years ago," Gawain nodded and said unhurriedly, "The White Star Fall was also three thousand years ago. ”

Veronica's eyes widened slightly.

"You get out of a safe position," Gawain looked at Kamal, "open the barrier, I'm going to check on the body of the deer Amon." ”
