The roar of construction machinery echoed across the construction site, and construction workers were busy between a large number of machinery, building materials, and scaffolding, and under the power of the machinery, a large open field had been leveled and the foundation had been reinforced with the help of elemental spells, while a roughly octagonal base frame was gradually taking shape, and within the frame, the elven Magister Banner was instructing the workers on how to attach the prefabricated rune substrates to the alloy skeleton.

- Cecil's rune substrate technology was a surprise to the magus, using the precision and strength of the machine, the repetitive parts of the complex rune array can be mass-produced and prepared in a short period of time, coupled with the connection frame called the "rune skeleton", the speed at which the Cecil people build the magic array is amazing, and the most time-consuming and energy-consuming process in all kinds of magic facilities is the most time-saving and labor-saving part of the Cecil's construction process.

And the most important thing is that the "rune substrate" itself is a very versatile technology, and the runes of the elves can still be used.

It was a blessing to be selected for the "Cecil team", and it seemed that the work here would be completed sooner than everywhere.

At the site where the secondary tower was built, on a platform high above the ground, Sonia and Gawain stood side by side.

The elven messenger looked worried, "You say those doomed believers are using the loopholes in the Great Wall to send signals to the wasteland?" ”

"This is just our speculation," Gawain nodded, "and we have intelligence that the Death Society has a telecommunication technology called the 'Dark Bridge', which is most likely built on the loopholes of the Great Wall, and they have been stealing your channels to establish contact somewhere - and as a dark cult with a limited range of operations to the north of the continent, their signal is unlikely to be sent to the south, so it is most likely to be sent to the wasteland. ”

“…… If this were true, even the mild-mannered Majesty Belsetia would be furious," Sonia frowned, her tone of disbelief in her voice, "but those cultists are signaling to the wasteland...... Who are they contacting? Could it be that there are still living people in the wasteland of Gondor?! ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at the Sentinel Tower, which was far away from the Pinnacle Base, and looked at the purple-black land on the south side of the Sentinel Tower, her vision full of incredulity.

In that wasteland, which has been completely corrupted and distorted, and has no life and is only desolate ruins and barren land, is there really something responding to those depraved druids?! What are they planning in this wasteland?

For a moment, even she had the urge to climb over the walls of grandeur and find out the truth in the land of the dead.

But she stubbornly stopped this irrational thought, and said in a serious tone, "Whether they are signaling to the wasteland or not, their 'dark bridge' must have been abandoned with the teleportation of the Great Wall. It is now imperative that we restore communication with the southern part of the continent. ”

"On that note, our Magic Web communication terminal has been delivered, and the Wizard Technicians are working on it based on the teleportation key you provided," Gawain said, "If Kamel's transformation and design work, then we will be able to successfully send a message to the Silver Empire before sunset today." ”

Sonia looked at Gawain in shock: "So fast?!" ”

Gawain smiled, "We have the best magicians, and the technology used by Cecil has always been ahead of traditional magic devices in terms of flexibility and developability. ”

He wasn't embarrassed to say that he had been working on the communication device long before he set off - Sonia hadn't even realized the big problem with the Sentinel Tower, and he was working on the idea of a grand wall......

Thankfully, Sonia didn't care about these details - in the High Courier's mind, it was clearly more important to be able to get in touch with her home country as soon as possible.

As Gawain said, the temporary emergency communication system was finally debugged before the giant sun fell to the horizon.

This magic network communication device was set up in the headquarters in the center of the peak base, and in order to house it, the technicians specially vacated a spare room for it.

By the time Sonia and Gawain arrived, the magicians had already completed all the installation and commissioning work, and in the center of the huge room was the new communicator from Cecil City, a medium-sized device with a triangular pedestal about half a meter high, a huge projection crystal placed above the pedestal, and the mysterious magic runes shimmered regularly on the metal parts around the crystal, and around this device, in the four corners of the room, four man-tall The black rectangular column half a meter long and wide rests quietly on the ground.

The four pillars were specially designed by Kamel, and their function is to "translate" the signal of the magic network communication device into the signal that the magnificent wall can transmit. The device had been completed a few days earlier, but it wasn't until a while ago that the elves pulled out the communication key for the Great Wall that they really came to use.

"No matter how many times you look at it, your magic skills are so impressive," Sonia said to the magic guide device in the center of the room, looking curiously at the runes that flickered around the crystals, "It can really replace the Sentinel Tower's teleportation matrix and send signals to the south?" ”

"Theoretically possible," Gawain nodded slightly, "and that's not all the devices in this room - we've also set up a high-powered magical obelisk next to the base of the Sentinel's Tower in order to connect the signal to the energy flow of the Great Wall, and now that the obelisk is on, we can start at any time." ”

……

Far south of the continent, above the vast Silver Forest, the Star Sanctuary was cruising at a low speed along a predetermined cruising trajectory.

The flying sanctuary with its base shrouded in countless streams of light and runes slowly crossed the northern border of the Silver Empire, moving in a subtle arc, its upper chambers facing the direction of the Great Wall, and the sixteen antenna arrays set on the top floor of the temple swayed slightly in the air, listening for every faint signal from the direction of the wasteland.

Inside the temple, in a silver-white metal hall, several alloy pillars with mysterious runes floating were neatly arranged, and more than a dozen listening seats were distributed around these columns, and the "wind listeners" dressed in uniform were sitting on these seats, staring intently at the holograms in front of them.

The Wind Listener is the upper echelon of the Wind Whisperer, who is tasked with handling regular communication requests from the Wall of Grandeur, while the former is tasked with monitoring all channels of the Wall of Grandeur and handling anomalous signals uploaded by the Wall of Grandeur. Now that the communication system of the Great Wall has failed due to overload, the Wind Whisperers have been idle for a long time, but the Wind Listeners are still holding on to their posts.

Even though they also don't receive any communication signals, they must keep an eye on the place - once the Sentinel Tower's self-repair is complete and communication is restored, they must report back to the Queen as soon as possible.

Then beckoned the Wind Whisperers to come back to work (correct).

Today's listening channels are still quiet, with all the signals coming back from the antennas being meaningless white noise.

A male elf with short blond hair sighed slightly, "It looks like the Sentinel Tower won't be restored anytime soon...... It is also unknown what happened to the several messenger teams heading to the north. ”

A long-haired male elf beside him turned his head: "The latest news from the human nations indicates that the human nations have begun to prepare to repair the barrier, and this is when they should have already started. ”

"Hopefully, they'll be able to get the most basic secondary tower facilities up and running as soon as possible, so that the Sentinel Tower's self-healing speed may be sped up," the short-haired elf said, "It's going to be a tough day when communications are cut off in the north." ”

"I heard your daughter is in the north?" A female elf next to her heard the conversation and couldn't help but ask.

Now that the handover time is approaching, even the elves will feel a little relaxed.

"Yes, I'm in love with a human being, and I'm not coming back," said the short-haired elf who spoke first, helplessly, "I can't persuade her, so let her go." ”

"How do I remember that this was two hundred years ago?" The elf looked curious, "Didn't you say that she would come back when that human died?" ”

The short-haired elf sighed: "Alas...... Now her third human husband...... Or maybe the fourth? I'm not in the mood to care. ”

"Look away, friend," an elf in the listening seat a little further away also joined in the casual conversation, "at least better than the one in the Frostleaf family, it is said that Sonya's high-ranking messenger specially applied to Ansu ...... for this purpose."

The elves at the scene looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Someone is sighing: "Becoming a high-level ranger can't escape the power of my mother......"

It may be difficult for the aliens of the northern part of the continent to imagine that the mysterious and elegant elves would talk about these family affairs like humans.

But the time for the "wind listeners" to gossip was abruptly interrupted by the sudden sound of wind chimes.

The sound of a chime came from one of the auditors, and at first the listeners in the seats thought it was a false alarm from the system - similar false alarms had occurred three times in the past month, but soon, more listeners were ringing, and the holographic projection showed signs of unknown communication!

The Wind Listeners, who had been preparing for the handover, were momentarily stunned, and then all the elves forgot about calling it a day and quickly returned to work.

"Tracking signal ......"

"Confirmed from the Wall of Grandeur, Sentinel Tower 37 was forwarded for the last time! It's an internal signal - but it doesn't carry the sigil ciphertext of the Sentinel Tower, it's an unknown signal! ”

"The source is being traced...... The starting point is Sentinel Tower 6! North of the Continent!! ”

"The signal strength is too weak - Lorraine, turn on the gain antennas, and all the gain antennas are pointing at Sentinel Tower 37! Hurry up, we're getting a signal from the north! ”

All over the Temple of the Stars, between the spire towers and the roof of the palace, the silver-white armor that was integrated with the building silently slid to the side, and one by one antenna devices with graceful arcs rose from the covers, turning sensitively in the air and quickly pointing in the direction of the Gondor wasteland.

A few minutes later, a high-ranking elf dressed in pale gold robes and wearing a crown of flowers and leaves hurried towards the heart of the Sanctuary of the Stars, Queen Belsetia's bedchamber.

Beelsettia was preparing to rest under the acolyte's attire, but she had already vaguely sensed that the antenna array of the Star Sanctuary was operating abnormally, and just as she was about to inquire about the situation, the confidant minister came to her, and she immediately stood up: "What happened?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Great Wall communication link has suddenly been restored - the signal is coming from the north, and the high-ranking messenger Sonia and the human duke Gawain Cecil want to speak with you."

"Sonia and Duke Cecil......" Belsetia's eyebrows couldn't help but rise slightly, but she quickly asked, "Doesn't the Sentinel Tower's telecommunications say that it won't repair itself until at least next spring?" ”

"The signal isn't from the Sentinel Tower, it's some kind of communication technology from the humans," the assistant said, bowing his head, "Sonya's high-ranking courier said that there was an emergency, and she had to agree that the humans had set up an emergency channel. ”

“…… I see," Knowing Sonya's rules, Belsetia didn't dwell on the issue in the slightest, she waved her hand and ordered her attendant to step back, "Lead the way, and transfer the communication to the main control room." ”

"Yes."
