Brass-colored metal pipes are inlaid on the wall, and at their joints, there are pointer tables displaying various data, which is convenient for the monitor to observe, full of steam, hard core and texture.
Da da da.
The relatively crisp knocking sound slowly resounded in the house. The source of the sound was a telegraph machine, but unlike ordinary telegraph machines, the metal mechanical keyboard in front of it was not being tapped, but it was recording information independently.
Sections of white paper were spit out, and machine-translated codes were printed on them.
Soon, a palm with a rough callus held the white paper and gently pulled it out. The owner of the palm was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a deerstalker hat, with two With a small beard and a well-groomed overalls, there was a faint smell of ink.
"This is a long-distance telegram sent to [Obscurity Moon City]. It is very rare that the starting point is the Cangxue Mountain Range. Only the telegraph machines of the major churches can do it at this distance." The middle-aged man stared at the telegram in his hand. Show doubts.
"Captain Morrison, is this situation worthy of attention?"
On the table next to him, there is a cute girl with a round face, wearing a metal headset, listening to the outside situation. To be precise, this is how she cultivates her ability to master traits. If she wants to advance to the third level, she only needs to master One trait ability is not enough.
The aborigines don't have the concept of sub-professions, but after a long time of exploration, they have found a way to master the ability, for example, the girl in overalls with a cute face is precisely through 'monitoring' the voices in the city to master a kind of ability called " The Listener' trait ability.
The girl in work clothes is Annie. It has been just over a month since she left Gangdian City and returned to the Moving Castle. She has already been promoted to the second level, and she has begun to accumulate special abilities to hit the third level.
Of course, being able to advance to the second rank in such a short period of time is also inseparable from her previous accumulation.
As early as in Gangdian City, Annie was already at the quasi-peak of the first level, not too far away from the second level, just missing an opportunity.
The catastrophe in Gangdian City, and their act of sending a telegram to Iron Heart City, finally turned into that opportunity in the form of meritorious service, allowing Annie to advance to the second rank first.
"Of course, the Silver Moon Church seldom sends out such long-distance telegrams. Once they do, it means there is an emergency." Morrison picked up the telegram and intuitively told him that something major had happened on it.
So, Morrison opened the code comparison book next to him, and read it word by word—
"This is the telegram code of the Silver Moon Church. They believe in the Lord of Silver Moon and have mastered part of the mage profession. Their knowledge is indeed better than other churches. Among other things, it is just the telegram code within the church. There are three sets."
"However, these problems are extremely simple in front of the Church of Steam."
Morrison flipped through the code comparison book, and soon he found the corresponding code, translated word by word, and involuntarily read the contents of the telegram above—
"A major change has taken place in the Cangxue Mountain Range. There is a secret organization that believes in the 'Monarch of the Mist', named [Sleepless Eyes]. Into a collective dream."
"[Yelmond], which was active in the second era, was never destroyed with the fall of the 'Lord of the Mist'. On the contrary, this ancient city-state relied on the collective dreams of everyone, lurking on the Cangxue Mountains until they The dream ceremony was held, and this revealed the clues."
hiss!
After reading this, Morrison couldn't help but gasp. The value of this telegram is greater than he imagined. The relics will' value it's appraised!
Anne, who was peeping from the side, couldn't help being surprised when she heard Morrison read the contents of the telegram.
As a steam believer who has been promoted to the second level, her authority to know is much greater than before, and she has also heard about the history of the second era, knowing the kingdom of giants, and the twelve titans surrounding the king of giants.
What happened on the Cangxue Mountains actually involved [Yelmonde], an ancient titan 'Lord of the Mist'!
For incidents of this level, one of the two major departments of the Church of Steam, the 'Relics Association' has the highest level of response. Once such incidents are found, they must be reported to the Mechanical Temple as soon as possible!
I. We intercepted a shocking secret
Anne couldn't help turning her head. At the same time, Morrison also turned her head to look. The two looked at each other, and got the answer from the other's eyes.
"We have to report to the Mechanical Temple, as soon as possible! We can't delay even a second!"
Morrison said affirmatively, but Anne still hesitated: "Is this information reliable? Will there be misleading information that made the 'Remains Society' make a wrong judgment? We have to be vigilant about the source of the information."
Before she finished speaking, Morrison shook his head and interrupted her—
"No, this message is from the branch of the Silver Moon Church on the Cangxue Mountain Range, and it is urgently sending a distress telegram to [Obscurity Moon City]!"
"The other party used encryption measures. Although in front of the Church of Steam, this kind of action is like a child's lie, simple and ridiculous, but their secrecy is good. At least, for forces other than the Church of Steam."
"Except for the eighteen moving castles roaming the cold land in the north, no other force can intercept the information, let alone decipher the code!"
It made us sound like thieves. Annie slandered silently, but this example is very appropriate. The moving castle arranged by the Church of Steam is like a large information network in the cold land of the north, enveloping all codes and letting them master information advantage.
Next to Morrison is the book that records the communication codes of all the churches, which is the embodiment of the achievements of the Church of Steam
"The credibility of the information is very high, because the password used in this telegram is 'Morse Code', which is the highest level that can be used by the Silver Moon Branch. You are qualified to use this code!" Morrison was sure, and did not forget to add: "Even if the sender has obtained the right to use the telegram, he will not use this code without internal training."
"The other party must be the dispatched deacon of the Silver Moon Church, or the priest of the diocese stationed on the mountain range!"
"Due to the critical situation, the sender requested assistance from [Hazy Moon City], and told the cause and effect, the credibility is extremely high."
Having said that, Morrison has already taken out another long-distance telegraph and is about to send a telegram to the Holy Church, asking the 'Remains Society' to arrive at the Cangxue Mountains first before the Silver Moon Church!
"The contents of this telegram must be true"
While Morrison muttered, he did not forget to copy the content of the intercepted telegram to the telegram he was about to send. When he hit the last paragraph, the text on the intercepted telegram came into the eyes of the two of them again—
"[Sleepless Eye] is suspected to be supported by other forces. They set a trap and murdered the Holy Envoy of Silver Moon. Judging from the traces found, the other party is likely to be"
"Hunting Church!"
Snapped!
Suleman let go of his fingers, looked at the last paragraph sent on the telegram, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a bit of a smile.
The most important part of the aftermath work is to get rid of the blame and let others take the blame for yourself!
There is another one tonight
