So even in the most difficult situation in the territory, he still spent a lot of money to set up several observation posts near the southern pass of the Dark Mountains, monitoring the situation of the magnificent wall day and night. The mountain gap in the territory, it can be said to be the biggest weak point of the entire dark mountain barrier, and it is also the only "window" that can look at the magnificent wall from a safer place.
Just this morning, information came from several observation posts. They observed a very strange "flicker" in the middle of the magnificent wall. The huge magic barrier dimmed slightly, and then the whole became extraordinarily bright again. The whole process lasted only a few seconds, but it was clearly visible.
It wasn't the entire barrier that flickered, and the barrier returned to normal after the flicker. This is the only good news: it doesn't look like it's in danger of collapsing completely, and the self-healing function of the barrier is still functioning normally.
After receiving the report, Gao Wen didn't even attend the launching ceremony of the Magic Energy Obelisk. He locked himself in the study for the first time, and retrieved the latest satellite monitoring data until he confirmed that there were no incidents around the territory. After a large surge of magic energy and no abnormal energy readings in the direction of the Dark Mountains, I felt a little relieved: the problem is still the Gondor wasteland itself, and has nothing to do with the huge sun in the sky or the magic environment of the entire world.
"What has Soldering been doing these two days?" Gao Wen suddenly changed the topic, and mentioned the bald strong man who was eating and drinking on the territory as a "captive".
Hetty thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "He has always cooperated very well, basically he will not leave the place where he lives, but it is said that he has been a little close to Pittman recently, but it is normal to think about it, Druid inheritance After all, they originated from elves, and the two of them may have some common topics on the way of nature."
The corner of Gao Wen's mouth couldn't help but twitched, thinking that Soldering is indeed a strong man who never gives up lightly, he still hasn't given up to cure his alopecia! It's just that he focused on Pittman, that unreliable counterfeit drug dealer... Solderin is planning to exchange all the commissions he has earned over the years for amulets and transshipment ointments
Only Gawain knew the "truth about the strong" of Salderling, so he couldn't explain anything to Heidi, so he just ordered: "You go and find him."
It didn't take long for Solderling to come to Gawain's study. This "Officer Typhon", who was theoretically a prisoner on the battlefield, was not treated badly in Cecil's territory, except for a little necessary surveillance. , his living treatment is almost at the same level as Hetty Rebecca and others, and he can move freely in most parts of the territory. As soon as he shows up at this time, he greets Gawain happily: "Hey! Gawain Let me tell you something, there is a... "
"Don't believe it, apart from the normal potions of the druid system, more than half of the ointments he sells in private are fake."
Solderling: "…"
"The amulets are also fake. The ancient amulets claimed to be found in the ancient ruins are all taken from the scrap piles of the steel mills."
Solderling: "…"
"Don't believe in the health and hair care set that he has a lot of hair because he is born, and he is not of the same race as you. It is useless to believe it."
Soldering: "... I'll take five steps to find his blood!"
"Come back!" Gao Wen glared at the strong man, "I'm looking for you for business!"
Solderling finally noticed the seriousness in Gawain's expression, and immediately became serious: "What happened?"
"You are a silver elf, right?" Gawain pointed to the chair next to him, and asked Soldering to sit down at the desk. "How much do you know about the Great Wall?"
"It is true that the silver elves built the magnificent wall...but that is the business of the magisters. I am just a ranger and my knowledge of magic is limited," one of Soldering's strengths is that he never brags in areas he is not good at , "Is there anything wrong with the Great Wall?"
Gao Wen didn't hide anything, and immediately told the silver elf about the flickering of the magnificent wall and the attack of the aberrations that occurred when the pioneering territory was built. At the end, he also mentioned the old Sisi The disaster in Erling: "... the old Cecil Territory was also destroyed by the aberrations and the magic tide. You should know that the original Cecil Territory is not in this place, but in the hilly land further to the northwest. "
The expression on Solderin's face became more and more solemn following Gawain's words. After hearing that similar aberration attacks had erupted more than once, his eyebrows almost frowned. The unique emerald green pupils are full of worry.
Short-lived human beings can completely forget the horror of a catastrophe after a few hundred years, but the long-lived elves are not a forgetful race. To this day, the time when they were overwhelmed in the wasteland of Gondor still occasionally resurfaces. In Solderling's dream, he really understood what Gawain said would mean if it was true.
"Are you sure that those are the 'distortions' we dealt with back then?" Soldering confirmed it with some anxiety, and got Gawain's affirmative answer: "I can't admit my mistake, I have fought against them for decades When you died, there were still a lot of people around, how could you admit your mistake?"
Before I closed my eyes, my mother had a bunch of distortions. When I opened my eyes, my mother’s were still distortions. I typed it for nothing in the last version. feeling.
"The power of the demon tide was sealed inside the magnificent wall, and it is really not normal for it to reappear in the territory of civilization now..." Soldering frowned, and began to recall the knowledge about the magnificent wall, "Well... although I am not a demon Teacher, but I do know a little more about the Great Wall than you humans. As far as I know, the Great Wall is a magical barrier based on an ancient 'adaptive shield' technology, which was erected on the ruins of Gondor A series of 'sentry towers' on the border of the earth, the shields of the majestic walls can be adjusted spontaneously to adapt to the complex magic energy environment in the Gondor wasteland. You know, the magic tide brings chaotic and disorderly energy surges , this constantly fluctuating energy surge is its most dangerous feature, and only an adaptive shield can adjust itself at any time according to the ups and downs of chaotic energy, always maintaining a sufficient strength of protection with the minimum energy consumption... "
Gawain listened carefully, and asked a question at this time: "That is to say, if there is an energy fluctuation in the wasteland of Gondor that exceeds the adaptable range of the shield, the wall of grandeur will 'be unable to respond', thus partially overloading it?"
"In principle, this is the case..." Soldering said uncertainly, "But I heard from the elven magisters back then that each sentry tower has a very large margin, which is enough to deal with the damage just now. The sudden large-scale surge inside the Duo wasteland, and 50% of the sentinel towers in the entire protective barrier area have backups. If the barrier really starts to overload, those sentinel towers will also be activated immediately To balance the load, there will never be such a serious problem as the temporary damage of the barrier... "
"Ah, I've also heard of the spare sentry tower. There is such a setting," Gao Wen recalled the corresponding information, "Well... have you been back to your hometown in these years?"
"I only went back once three hundred years ago." Soldering smiled lightly, "It's really difficult to go back. There is a wasteland of Gondor in the middle of the mainland. If you return to the Silver Empire from the north of the mainland, you have to go around the entire continent. Most of the time, I don't have a griffin or dragon eagle of my own."
"Then how do you usually keep in touch with your compatriots? Or...do you still keep in touch with your homeland?"
"There is still a connection," Solderin explained, "The Sentinel Tower itself has a magical communication function, which can relay the communication signal from the Temple of Stars. This function is used to monitor the situation of each Sentinel Tower. There are barrier monitoring stations set up by the Silver Empire in Typhon and on the border of Ansu West, through which I can contact my homeland. But the frequency is not very high. The information that the Sentinel Tower can transmit is limited. Not a lot."
"Then when was the last time you communicated with the Silver Empire?"
"Are you worried..." Soldering realized Gawain's worry, "Worried that something has gone wrong with the maintenance of the Great Wall, but the Silver Elf didn't tell the world?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, since the collapse of the large-scale information network between the Gondor Empire and the Silver Empire, it has been difficult for human countries to get timely news from the elves. Now only the southernmost Gaoling Kingdom and the elves maintain The Gaoling Kingdom is the most mysterious of the four human kingdoms," Gawain said unhurriedly, "Even if nothing else is considered, there is indeed a problem with the Great Wall, but the Silver Elves There is no news, this matter itself is worth worrying about, isn't it?"
Soldering's face became serious, and he did not hide his deep worry at all. Although he has lived in the human world for many years, Solderin himself is still a silver elf after all, and it is impossible for him to let go of his hometown.
"The last time I was in contact with my homeland was more than ten years ago... You know, according to the elves' concept of time, it was not long ago," Soldering raised his head, looked at Gawain and said, "but now I feel I need to get in touch again... As a high-level ranger, I know quite a few people with status in the Silver Empire, and I may be able to inquire about the situation of the Great Wall."
"You can tell them about the resurrection of Gawain Cecil by the way. I also have many acquaintances among you silver elves, which will make your contact more important." Gawain nodded, "even if there is no one in the Silver Empire. If something goes wrong, it’s good for you to tell them the news of the temporary failure of the northern barrier. It’s more or less a warning. After all, the line of the Dark Mountains is the most difficult section of the entire Great Wall to monitor. Maybe your magisters still don’t know about it. There's something wrong with the barrier."
Soldering nodded solemnly: "Okay."
