Although Gawain still knows very little about the deepest secrets behind the gods, with the unremitting efforts of several research groups in the rear in recent years, he has confirmed at least several extremely effective means to combat divine pollution, from the most primitive kraken runes, to the song of the deep sea and the human nature barrier that appeared later, and then to the anti-divine defense technology with the "non-directional ideology" as the core that is currently in the verification stage, these technologies are progressing layer by layer, and gradually reveal the effective direction of the future-

After all, the kraken's runes and songs come from an alien race, and there are many black box elements in its principles, but the non-directional ideology comes from Cecil himself, and its technical route is also clearly discerning, so the development potential of the two is naturally needless to say. The most important foundation behind the non-directional trend of thought is the narrator's neural network, the essence of the neural network is a huge structure formed by the interconnection of a large number of mortal minds, and the disordered subconscious of a large number of mortals is used to counter the divine erosion of the gods, which means that the larger the scale of the neural network, the stronger its resistance to divinity - based on this theory, it can be said that it is inevitable to build a neural network that covers the world and incorporate more mortal minds into it.

In fact, this is also an important reason why Gawain is determined to establish a "united front" and pull all the large and small countries on the continent into allies: even the weakest kingdoms can form an effective force in the neural network.

The country is strong and weak, the people are stupid, and even the civilizations of different regions are advanced and backward, so many people do not understand Gawain's motives for pulling those inconspicuous backward and small countries into the chariot, in their opinion, some regions are like a drag, and pulling them on the chariot will only increase the cost, even in Cecil's own country, this idea is not uncommon - but Gawain himself knows very well that on the battlefield against divine pollution, mortals are truly indistinguishable from the noble and the poor, and the population itself ...... It's wealth.

Rebecca couldn't understand some of the ancestor's overly far-reaching thoughts, but at least in this kind of technical field, her thinking was as clear and sharp as Gawain's, and noticing several changes in Gawain's expression, she couldn't help but say, "It would be nice if the elves could directly transform their communication facilities and use our magic web technology......"

"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's not feasible," Gawain sighed with a smile, "The Elven's Sentinel Data Link is huge, the technology is mature, and it coexists with the Great Wall at a high level, and the cost and risk of large-scale transformation are unimaginable, even if it is as strong as the Silver Empire, it will not be easy to try." In the best case, they will do some upgrades to the interface of their own communication network, and at the same time produce immersion modules that meet the standards of the Silver Empire, so that although it is a little troublesome, at least the neural network can be paved......"

"Didn't Typhon do that?" Rebecca scratched her hair again—her hair was a little messier than it had been, "I see you and Rosetta Augustus had a good conversation." ”

Gawain looked into Rebecca's eyes with a faint smile of seriousness: "Silly girl—you remember, there is no 'intimacy' between countries, there are only temporary alliances of interests and limited mutual trust based on common interests. Don't ever feel like another country can be trusted just because its leader seems friendly, in fact, even if Rosetta and I are really 'confidants' in some way, he and I will definitely prioritize the interests of our own country, and even if we think about each other for the time being, it is only because there is an area that happens to be our common goal, and there is no conflict of interest between Typhon and Cecil in that area for the time being.

"But that doesn't mean we're cheating on covenants or engaging in fraudulent diplomacy, it's just that we're doing our part and being responsible for our own country.

"Back to the attitude of the Typhonians when it comes to communication technology...... Once the technical channels are established, Rosetta should realize the significance of the 'anti-divine barrier', but he will not let us stretch our hands too far - he has already suffered on the railroad. According to the information coming back from there, the Aldernan side is tightening the investment and construction interface of the domestic railway, which shows that they have somewhat reacted to this matter.

"So although Rosetta has stated that he wants to consider Cecil's communication technology, according to my estimate, he will at most allow the establishment of an 'interface' similar to the one between the two countries and the Silver Empire, or the establishment of backup magic network communication facilities in a few areas of the country, and in general, the Typhon Empire's teleportation tower array will continue to operate, after all, those teleportation towers have only recently undergone extensive upgrades, and even if Rosetta is really determined to abandon them, Typhon's treasury may not allow it.

"In the best-case scenario, three communication technologies on the continent of Loren will exist simultaneously for a long time: Cecil's Magic Web Communication, Typhon's Teleportation Tower Network, and the Silver Empire's Sentinel Data Chain. The most important thing we should do now is not to hope that the other two communication technologies will disappear on their own, but to figure out how to make the existing divinity protection technology effective in all three network environments - rest assured, the old technology will disappear, but it will take time. ”

Rebecca frowned, she understood Gawain's words, but she didn't like the answer very much: "I understand, I understand...... But it will definitely come at an additional cost. Ay...... I thought that after the alliance was established, the countries would be able to work together a little bit more......"

Gawain smiled and pressed Rebecca's hair again, "Do you know about porcupines?" ”

Rebecca's eyes lit up: "Ah, I know! It's delicious! I secretly went to the mountains when I was a child...... Forehead...... You're probably not telling me that? ”

Gao Wen's emotions were incoherent for a moment, but fortunately, he had long been accustomed to Rebecca's uncontrolled train of thought, and after coughing dryly, he adjusted his expression back to the majestic state of his ancestor: "...... What I want to say is that the human nations are porcupines huddling together to keep warm - everyone needs to survive this long winter, but everyone has spikes to protect themselves, the world is very dangerous, we can't pull out our own thorns, so what we can do is to find that small balance between spikes and warmth. It does take a little extra effort, but that's what mortals ...... Weak, cautious, knows how to huddle, but is not good at hugging porcupines. ”

Rebecca listened to Gawain's words in a daze, and at this moment she seemed to have figured out a lot of things, and then asked softly, "Is this how this alliance you have established works?" ”

Gawain nodded: "That's how the alliance works. ”

Rebecca left with a thoughtful expression, and after her figure was far away, Amber's voice suddenly came from Gawain's side: "Looks like she suddenly has a lot on her mind." ”

Gawain smiled and sighed softly, "Probably the answer I gave her wasn't so much in line with her expectations." ”

"Because you are so great in her mind, so great that you can do anything, even so great that you can turn the fate of many people around, she also sees the 'Alliance' you have established as something equally great—like a glorious miracle forged by an epic hero, without the slightest flaw," Amber whispered with a faint smile on her face as she looked at Rebecca's figure who had gone away, "but this alliance is not that great, it is just a litter of porcupines." ”

“…… I don't need to be that great, too great to be like a god," Gawain shook his head, then looked in the direction of the Silver Elf team not far away, "The process is over, and it's almost time for us to go back...... Help me run another errand. ”

……

The final process was over, and the procession carrying the delegates of various countries began to set off from the assembly site in the wilderness, and the mighty convoy drove up the makeshift avenue, driving in the direction of Elven Stronghold 112 under the flying Union flag in the middle of the road, and at the end of the convoy, the magic guide car flying the Cecil flag stopped on the side of the road, and a figure with long blond hair bent down into the carriage.

In the back row of the magic car, Gawain looked at the Silver Empress who had just sat down opposite him, and greeted him with a smile: "Good afternoon, Belsetia." ”

"Good afternoon, Uncle Gawain," Belsetia glanced out the window of the car and smiled back at Gawain, "I was surprised to receive a message from Miss Amber, do you have anything to talk to me about on the way back?" You know, after the meeting, the Silver Empress and Emperor Cecil will definitely attract a lot of attention when they return in the same car—I don't know how many speculations about the changes in the situation will be summed up in the brains of intelligence officers in various countries. ”

"Emperor Cecil and the Silver Empress have known each other for seven hundred years—I hope they can start with that in mind," Gawain said casually, "Besides, if I wait until everyone is back at Stronghold 112 to talk to you in secret, it won't attract much less attention than it does now." ”

"Again, those eyes didn't fall on us suddenly, but they didn't leave in the first place," Belsetia said, glancing back slightly at the driver's seat of the magic car, and her face turned serious when she saw Amber clutching the steering wheel and joystick, "...... The Minister of Intelligence drove the car himself, and it seems that the matter you want to talk to me about is not simple. ”

Gawain looked at Belsetia.

The 112 meeting has ended, the alliance has been formed, the theocratic council has been established, the silver empire has boarded this chariot, and the subsequent technology sharing and joint construction will follow...... The time is ripe for some things to talk about.

"Remember what we talked about on our first day here?" Gawain said.

Belsetia was stunned for a moment, and some intuition rose from her heart, making her vaguely aware of something: "What are those entanglements about the religious history of the elves, the changes of the Druid Church, the natural beliefs and the heretical natural beliefs?" ”

"Now let's move on to the topic," Gawain nodded, his gaze fixed on Belsetia's eyes, "if you were given a chance to talk to the gods of nature in person—what would you have to say?" ”

The Silver Empress's always calm and indifferent demeanor finally stiffened, as if a piercing cold suddenly rolled through the carriage, the expression of the imperial ruler seemed to freeze, and it took a few seconds for her expression to change slightly, with a belated stunned and a little nervous: "You...... Say what? and the god of nature...... Talk to me in person? The God of Nature you are talking about, He is ......"

"Amorne, the guardian of the giant tree of 'reincarnation', the master of nature, the original main god of the original Druids."

"Are you serious?" The Silver Empress finally calmed down, staring into Gawain's eyes as if she was still trying to figure out the joke in it, "What do you mean...... But how is this possible? And even though He is still ...... But how can mortals directly establish a relationship with the gods......"

"Ordinary mortals can't, but extraterritorial wanderers can," Gawain said, and outside the car window beside him, a slanting sunset was falling over the distant wasteland mountains, falling on the receding flagpole, and the Union flag fluttering high in the sunlight, "Your Uncle Gawain has more than one card to prepare for a fight with this cold world. ”

The Silver Empress's expression went from stunned and frozen to finally returning to normal, she pondered, deduced, and finally all the emotional changes were replaced by some kind of firmness, as if she had made the most important decision of her life, and only broke the silence after taking a deep breath: "I will make arrangements as soon as I return to town, Valentian will return home first, and I will go to Cecil with you—rest assured, I will think of all the reasons, and this matter will not be made public." ”

……

The holographic projection above the magic net terminal showed the scenery from afar, and the commentary outside the screen carried a high-spirited and happy mood, and Amone's eyes like light blinked twice, and the former god of nature let out a long sigh: "Their meeting is finally over...... Thankfully, we didn't miss the final broadcast. ”

"Yes, yes, I didn't miss the broadcast, of course I won't miss it, after all, all the channels are broadcasting the same thing, and even the latest episode of "The Adventures of Modir" has been canceled - this is a full-length show every Friday!" Mirmina's voice came from the side, with a deep grumbling, "I hope they can make up for it before their rest day next week." ”

Amonen couldn't move, so he could only glance at the complaining lady with his eyes: "You should reduce your complaining and obsession with the Shadow Drama and instead devote your limited energy to more meaningful programs." Don't you think this meeting is very valuable? Especially the 'Theocratic Council' that they mentioned at the end...... It's a pity that the 'expert' only mentioned it, saying in general terms that such an organization was established, without elaborating on its role at all......"

Ammon muttered, and Mirmina was finally intrigued, and the goddess of magic thought for a moment, and said quietly, "The Theocracy...... Indeed, it is really interesting to hear this name. It sounds like it has a lot to do with us, as if those mortals are ready to do something big...... It's a pity that such a sentence was mentioned at the end of the whole broadcast. ”

"According to my summary these days," Ammon thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "the 'news' of mortals, usually the fewer words used, the bigger the matter, and this theocratic council has been mentioned from beginning to end, and the matter seems to be extraordinarily big. ”

Listening to the reasoned analysis of the former god of nature, Mirmina just shrugged her shoulders rather absently, and continued to lament her canceled series, but she had just lamented it for a few seconds when she heard Amon's voice suddenly sound again: "Huh?!" ”

Mirmina immediately looked at the other party: "What's the matter?" ”

"I ...... Just now, I suddenly felt a ...... on my body Weird," Amone said hesitantly, "Seems like a chill?" Or do you want to shiver? Something like that anyway, as if something was about to happen against me......"

Mirmina quickly restrained her relaxed and idle attitude, and became extremely serious: "Are you sure? This is no small matter—the 'intuition' of the gods is almost prenoxical, especially when it comes to themselves......"

"I'm not sure, I've been out of the gods for three thousand years, and I can't remember how long it's been since I've felt this way," Ammon said in a muffled voice, and then his tone suddenly became very strange, "Wait...... Well, it seems a little bad. ”

"What's wrong with you?"

Amunde's voice carried a certain desperation: "...... The weird feeling has weakened, but my back seems to be a little itchy......"
