In the summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

Even though Ansu is a northern country, the southern border located in the extreme south of Ansu still has a scorching summer, and this year, it seems that summer has come a little earlier than before.

The constellation Mars has become a frequent visitor in the night sky, and the giant sun stays longer and longer during the day, and the sky that was still dark at four or five o'clock is now full of morning glow at the same time.

In the wilderness on the northwest border of Lu'an City, a tall tower stands quietly on the plain, the gap in the base of the tower shimmers with a faint magical light, the outer wall of the tower occasionally slides through the light stream, a huge crystal floats on the top of the tower, and several strange metal brackets extend from the top of the tower, and the runic device at the end of the bracket slowly rotates in the breeze against the brilliant morning glow.

It was a beautiful and sunny summer morning.

The tower keeper Gelin woke up from his sleep, and after a brief wash, he made his way to the upper level of the tower wearing a thin shirt and shorts.

Brighter sunlight is shining through the crystal windows of the studio, where a flock of wild pigeons flutter across the sky.

“…… These stupid pigeons...... Let's hope they didn't on the signal gainer......"

Greene grunted, tossing the unfinished cake from the previous night onto the heating table, then pressed the frost rune base into the energy card slot in the wall while opening the studio's ventilation pipes.

The fresh cold air blew into the room through the ventilation pipes, dispelling the heat that was gradually rising, and also refreshed Greene, who was still a little tired.

The tower keeper let out a satisfied exclamation - the new device sent by the city last month really worked.

He couldn't help but think of the "advertisement" he saw on the magic network terminal before, the sentence of the Kede Family Affair Company as a signboard -

Magic, bringing convenience to life.

When first introduced to the concept, most people were dazed and stunned, and even Green, the tower keeper who worked with the magic device all day, never imagined what it would be like when magic became a complete part of everyday life, but it came to fruition, in a dizzying way.

The magic guide device is not only the private property of the lord, nor is it just the "public" industry, the cheap and convenient civilian magic guide device is entering the people, although it is still very slow, although it is still the privilege of the more affluent citizens of the big city for the time being, but it is really entering the lives of ordinary people.

And they really bring convenience.

The metal device outside the window moved slowly, and the tower keeper came to the observation position, watching the huge steel bracket slowly rise into the air, and the rune structure tower at the end of the bracket was like some kind of sharp angle facing the morning glow sky, and then he returned to the workbench, while activating the magic net terminal on the workbench casually, he took out the record book, and wrote down the first monitoring record of the day on it:

“…… On the 30th of the fire month, sunny, breeze, Lu'an Magic Network Hub Tower, the first monitoring record, the gainer is operating normally, the magic energy crystal is operating normally, and the magic network relay signal is ......"

Greene looked up and saw that a preset signal was appearing above the activated Magic Net Terminal, and the identification markers from the Horsman Hub Tower and the signals from the Lower Relay Tower flashed one by one.

"The broadcast signal of the magic network is normal, and the strength is excellent......"

Greene recorded it seriously, without the slightest sloppiness.

He is an extraordinarily conscientious and careful person, and it is precisely because of this that he can get this job as a "tower keeper" - this job is simple and boring, and it requires a high level of knowledge of magic, but the income is very good, it is suitable for Green, and it is also the job that Green, who has five children.

This magic network hub tower is one of the three hub towers in the entire northwest region of the Duchy of Cecil, and is an important node to maintain the transmission of the magic network from the Lu'an region to the Hossman region.

In addition to Greene himself, there are two tower watchmen working with Greene, but one of them is on night watch, and the other has already gone out to inspect the unmanned relay tower on the plains.

In addition to the three technical tower guards, there is also a small military station on the lower level of this tower, where ten heavily armed "tower guards" are responsible for guarding the place, and the tower itself has its own magic shield - all to ensure the safety of the magic net in the northwest border.

As far as Greene knows, the tower will be staffed with more people in the near future, and by then, it should be even more lively.

"It's hard to ......find someone who can skillfully operate these magic devices," the tower keeper muttered, shaking his head as he pressed the inspection confirmation button on the Magic Net Terminal to send back a safety signal to the Magic Net Control Center, "I hope it's a ...... graduated from Cecil Academy."

The crispy aroma of the sweet pastry wafting in, and Greene felt a grunt in his stomach as he stood up and walked in the direction of the heating table.

As a person who doesn't like to socialize much, he solves breakfast by himself, and only when dinner, when the three tower guards are in the tower, he will follow him to the lower level and dine with the tower guards at the military station.

But just as he got up, a shadow suddenly flashed out the window, attracting the attention of the tower keeper.

Goddess of Magic!! It can't be a big flock of pigeons coming to on the buff, right?!

Greene hurried to the window and craned his neck to look at the sky in the distance, not the pigeons that always caused trouble for him, but he saw several huge, eagle-like birds of prey flying towards the east under the rising sun.

And on those eagle-like birds of prey, the silhouette of a human figure can still be faintly seen.

It took a few seconds for the tower keeper to realize what those birds of prey they had never seen before—the elven eagles he had only heard of in stories in the notification document a while ago.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Greene immediately ran to the workbench and called the highest control center with the magic network terminal, and with the internal communication channel enabled, the communication was connected almost instantly, and a flaxen-haired girl appeared in the holographic projection.

Greene said quickly, "This is the Luan Hub Tower—I witnessed the Elven Giant Eagle entering just now, please inform the lord." ”

"Roger, thanks for the debriefing."

After hanging up, Greene let out a long sigh of relief, thankfully he hadn't missed the sighting—although he knew that there would be a watchtower nearby that would notice the Elven eagle, he still didn't want any mistakes in his work.

The tower keeper returned to the window and glanced at the sky where the giant eagle flew - the giant eagle of the elven clan was extremely fast, and in just a few minutes, those huge figures had already turned into a few small dots in the distance, and in the backlight of the morning sun, they could not be seen clearly.

Greene withdrew his gaze, but his gaze suddenly swept over the slow-moving magic device outside the window, and his eyes froze.

…… It is really a giant eagle, this "weight" is more than a pigeon!!

The tower keeper looked at the "Giant Eagle Remnant" on the buff mount with a stunned expression, and suddenly felt that this sunny summer morning didn't seem so good.

He returned to his workbench, took out a piece of letterhead, and began to write with a brush—the scribe-turned-tower keeper was still accustomed to the traditional writing instrument compared to the keyboard of the Magic Web Terminal:

"To Cecil Magic Technology Research Institute and Magic Wizard Application Design Bureau:

“…… It is advisable to add a protective shield to the high-altitude outdoor magic guide device, or to add a global shield on top of the high-altitude facility, as disturbance from birds is an irritating situation, especially with their droppings ......"

A burnt smell wafted into Green's nostrils, and the tower keeper jumped to his senses: "Oops—my breakfast!" ”

Now, this sunny summer morning really isn't rosy at all.

……

Vast fields and jungles rush underneath, rivers and lakes are scattered like jewels on the plains, cities and villages are scattered between rivers and mountains, and wide roads connect all settlements like arteries – the whole south is like a canvas shining in the sun, and every inch of color on the canvas is blooming in the middle of summer.

The giant eagle flew through the sky, and everything on the earth was reflected in the eagle's eyes.

Under the influence of the druid's spells, the eagle's vision was shared with the sons of the forest who sat on the back of the giant eagle.

"That mage tower just now looks so strange," an elven ranger said, turning his head to his nearest companion, a unique elven spell channeling the air currents high in the air so that they would not be disturbed by the wind or affected by the sound of the wind, "It doesn't look like the style of the Four Kingdoms—it doesn't look like the Violet Mage Tower." And the crystal on the top of the tower didn't know what it was for, it always felt like it was constantly releasing energy, but it couldn't sense any specific spell effects. ”

"Duchess Victoria has mentioned that there are many strange things in this land of the South," said another elven ranger aloud on the other side, "it is said that they are all Gawain?" Brought by Duke Cecil. ”

One of the couriers, who was guarded by the rangers, couldn't help but sigh, "Speaking of which, I haven't met the famous human duke yet - I was still with my mentor when he 'died' in battle. ”

"I've seen it once, and seen it from afar, that I was a guard of honor when the leaders of the nations took the oath in front of the Great Wall, but I guess he doesn't remember me."

"Then don't doubt it, I definitely don't remember, your face is not characteristic in the first place......"

Sonia? Frostleaf listened to the conversation of his friends, but his attention was on the ground below.

Her eyes glowed with a faint white glow, and under the spell effect of the shared vision, what the eagle could see, she could see.

"A lot of new roads...... A large number of newly expanded urban ...... There are strange machines in the fields, incredible, incredible," Sonia sighed, "The human nobles in the Silver Castle say that the South has been deserted for a century...... But now it seems that it is recovering at an alarming rate. ”

Near her, a ranger guard asked with concern, "High Courier, how is your eagle?" ”

Sonia? Frost Leaf stroked the feathers of the giant eagle under him and nodded: "Goo's condition is okay, it said that it is much more comfortable now." ”

"Goo may be a little uncomfortable," said another messenger, "this is the north after all, and the eagle is not used to it, and it is normal for the occasional diarrhea to occur. Actually, the situation is already good, at least we didn't come here during the coldest winter months. ”

"Even the giant eagle can't adapt to the weather......" Sonia shook her head, "I really don't know what good ...... the north has"

At this moment, the elven ranger flying at the front of the team suddenly shouted, "High-level messenger, it's time for us to fly south!" ”

Under the command of their masters, each giant eagle let out a loud chirp, and then the whole team folded neatly to the south.

This day is the 30th day of the fire month in the year 737 of Ansu.

The messengers of the elves have come to the south.
