Chapter 1083: At the turn of the times

Gao Wen knows that, even though he has reached a consensus with Rosetta here, he still has questions on how to formulate various rules in the process of rebuilding the route around the continent, how to distribute the route revenue, how to ensure the safety of ship traffic, and to lay the foundation for the future international ocean bill. There are still countless details that need to be negotiated slowly in terms of basics, and at least on paper, this agreement must also ensure that Typhon and other countries have "equal opportunities" after the development of marine technology. The subsequent negotiation process may be It lasts for a long time, even after the 112th meeting, there will be many interim meetings waiting for diplomats from both sides (and many other parties that may participate in the future).

After all, this is a historic event that can change the situation on the continent. Even if Cecil will have an overwhelmingly dominant voice in the route around the continent, Gao Wen must give every participant enough respect and dignity-otherwise This will be inconsistent with the political views he has been propagating.

But no matter how you negotiate in the later stage and how you adjust the details, the general direction of this matter has been set, and there will not be any changes-this is the meaning of closed-door meetings.

After finally nodding, Rosetta seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, or leaped over a difficult challenge. He sighed slightly, and the muscles beside his cheek relaxed.

Gawain and Amber both thought that he would be frustrated and lost for at least a moment, but to their surprise, Rosetta just breathed out like this, his eyes were still bright, and his body seemed to be filled with self-confidence that never extinguished. Found the next goal for which he could fight-this goal may be more difficult than any challenge he has faced in China, but it made him more motivated.

"All of us will usher in a better era, isn't it?" He looked at Gao Wen, with a ray of light in his eyes.

"Of course, we are sitting here, not to make our country drive backwards," Gawain smiled, he picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and toasted Rosetta, "How about a drink for our tomorrow? ?"

Rosetta also raised the wine glass. Amid the crisp sound of collision, the economic structure of the Loren continent in the next few decades has completed the foundation laying and preliminary distribution.

And before putting down the wine glass, Rosetta said again: "Then since this matter has been set, the Cecil army stationed at Winter Wolf Castle..."

Gao Wen laughed: "The soldiers will go home before the end of spring. There are many families who need to be reunited. My engineering unit can work hard. Maybe we can even restore the trade line around Winter Wolf Castle before the fire moon arrives. ."

"...Restarting the trade line can stimulate the local economy. Several towns in the southern part of Winter Wolf Castle may become a place of flourishing business," Rosetta said slowly, "In these warm days...our Typhon soldiers. Should we go home too?"

"Of course, it will also be before the end of spring." Gao Wen responded even more happily-in fact, he did not intend to hold Andesa who is currently resting in the Solin area and the Typhon soldiers captured in the same period as hostages. He intends to use these "bargaining chips" to make an article. Although he once wanted to promote the mass production of extraordinary people, with the continuous breakthrough of artificial nerve cord technology, with the "wetware host" and "servo head" To assist in the application and promotion of spellcasting, Cecil's shortcomings in mass production of the extraordinary have found another breakthrough point, and he does not need any "hostages".

In this case, instead of using "hostages" to exchange some no longer important benefits, it is better to take advantage of the trend to strengthen one's reputation in the "alliance", enhance the persuasiveness of the "community of destiny", and change some positive international images ——What's more, he is also looking forward to how much revenue Rosetta promised to bring from the "prosperous commercial land".

Later, they finalized a plan for handling many issues after the war. The details still need to be discussed in detail by diplomats and think tanks of both sides, but the general direction has been finalized in this reception room. As time goes by, the original The early morning sun gradually rose to mid-air, and the topic of handling the aftermath of the war finally came to an end.

Gao Wen exhaled, looked at Rosetta who was sitting across from him, and mentioned another thing: "I am here today, there is another thing to tell you."

"Another thing?" A question flashed across Rosetta's face, "About what?"

Gawain casually picked up a Thorin tree fruit, and while observing the smooth red surface of the fruit in the sun, he slowly said, "Talrond-do you know the name?"

"Talrond..." Rosetta's face immediately showed a thoughtful expression, and he nodded slowly, "Not long ago, this was a completely unfamiliar name to me, but I have heard a lot recently. Half of the information related to it comes from your publicly issued newspapers-that is the kingdom of the dragon, in the far north, opposite the eternal storm, right?"

"Yes," Gawain nodded and said, "Of course, now the eternal storm has disappeared, and there is only a vast ocean that separates us and the dragon kingdom."

"...The kingdom of dragons, I used to think this was just a legend. Everyone thought it was just a legend. Although we all know that dragons exist, many stories describe them as creatures living in different spaces. , Just like those elemental creatures or spirit creatures," Rosetta said with a hint of emotion, "Who would have thought that there would be a civilization established by a dragon just outside of the continent of Loren?"

Gao Wen glanced at Rosetta quietly. He deliberately waited for two seconds before breaking the silence unhurriedly: "Yes, this civilization does exist, and not only does it exist—they will also become a member of the alliance. member."

The room was quiet for a moment, even someone as calm as Rosetta was in a daze at this moment. Matilda, who was sitting next to him, couldn’t hide her astonishment, staring for a long time, until Gao Gao Wen broke the silence by speaking out, and the two of them reacted.

"You look surprised." Gawain said with a smile.

"What did you just say?" Rosetta looked at Gawain with wide eyes, unable to hide the surprise in her tone, "You said...you even invited the dragon in this meeting? Those real dragons?!"

"Yes," Gawain nodded, "Although Cecil has disclosed the real existence of the dragon in the media, it is still confidential about their participation in the alliance meeting. You don't know and it is normal- This news is deliberately controlled by me. In short, the dragon will appear at the alliance meeting and join us as a mortal kingdom. I think this will have a good role in promoting the meeting process."

Rosetta had already reacted from his consternation at this time. He calmed down, and at the same time thoughtfully: "... Indeed, if the dragon descends from the sky and announces that he is willing to join the alliance, then the representatives who are skeptical and shaken about the alliance must It will be greatly shocked. I can't think of anyone who will object to it in that situation. They may not even be able to keep calm and think... This is a card that unexpectedly happened to everyone."

Speaking, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Gao Wen, his expression a little puzzled: "Who else knows about this?"

"As the witness and recorder of the Silver Queen Bersetia, the ambassador of the Principality of the Holy Dragon from the north-no more," Gao Wen said. "The former is regarded as the organizer of the conference, and naturally knows the list of all representatives, the latter and The dragon has a lot of relationships."

"...Dragonborn, I still remember the shock I felt when the current battle report said that there were dragons in Cecil's air force, even though we later found out that the'dragons' were actually from the north. This shock has not diminished much," Rosetta shook her head with a complicated expression, and said with obvious emotion, "I didn't expect that after such a short time, I would be shocked by the real dragon...but Why are you telling me this?"

"Because Talrond needs help now," Gao Wen said solemnly, "and I plan to establish a long-running food committee and establish the basic order of mutual assistance within the alliance members-for this reason, I need more strong support, and Typhon is the most powerful voice in the south and east of the mainland."

"...Talrond needs help?" Rosetta felt more and more that this topic was flying in the direction of a legend, almost to the point where she could not understand it. "You said those legendary dragons? The dragon that destroys the human city-state alone? They came to the Continent of Loren for help?"

"This is a long story," Gawain sighed softly. "First of all, please don't regard them as despicable people who came to the human world for help after a crisis. What happened in Tarrond Anything you and I have ever experienced must be tragic, and all of this will start from a full 1.87 million years ago..."

Rosetta stood up in silence, picked up the red wine on the coffee table to pour Gao Wen personally, and then poured himself a glass-from the other's expression, he had already judged that this story might be very long.

……

Betty came again to the room where the golden dome was placed. The dragon egg named "Enya" was still standing quietly on the grooved base, and the sun near noon shone brightly in and spilled all over the wall. And the ground also made the faint halo around the golden dome seem brighter-a very peaceful and peaceful atmosphere lingered in the room, making the maid who was in a good mood even more happy.

"Good morning! Ms. Enya!" Betty hurriedly walked to the golden dome, politely bent over, and happily greeted, "Ah, are you reading the newspaper?"

She saw a newspaper floating in the air in front of the golden dome. The well-printed paper was shining slightly in the sun. Some invisible force held it up and made it float at a forty-five degree angle. The dome was "in front of", and at this moment the newspaper was just turned over, and the paper made a pleasant sound when it was turned in the air.

"Good morning, Betty," a gentle voice came from the dome, "Yes, I am reading the newspaper-the one you hurriedly delivered in the morning."

"Ah, I was a little busy in the morning and didn't have a good chat with you..." Betty scratched her hair a little embarrassedly, and then looked at Enya and the newspaper floating in the air with bright eyes, "How about you? Do you find the things in the newspaper interesting?"

"Very interesting-and very useful," Enya said with a smile, "I can learn about what is happening in your country, how many of you think and think about the world... and I can’t remember how many years I haven’t seen such a primitive medium. There is a sense of vitality in these primitive prints. I like this feeling."

Betty thought for a while, and couldn’t help but said, “You always say something that sounds very profound... I don’t feel a little understanding.”

"Ah, is it... sorry, I have always been used to this way of speaking," Enya said apologetically, "It is very difficult for me to express my emotions frankly and accurately. In this process, it is even more difficult for me to consider the ability of the listener to accept it, and I will pay attention later."

Betty quickly waved her hand when she heard it: “You don’t have to apologize so much. I was so slow to understand things. I am used to it! And I know that you are happy now—I will be happy too!

The voice inside the eggshell was quiet, and then a little curious: "Betty, you always seem to be happy."

"Yes," Betty laughed, shining brightly in the sun, "because good things always happen."

"Does something good always happen... That's great," Enya seemed to be touched, but soon she seemed to put aside something, and her voice became lighter, "You can tell me more about this What about this city? Your story seems to be more interesting than what is written in the newspaper."

"Of course!" Betty nodded happily, but before "telling the story", she first took out a soft white cloth from her side, and then said as she walked to the dome, "but I will wipe it for you first. Wipe the eggshell-I can wipe it again and say it~"

Enya's tone was a bit weird for a moment: "...Actually, I don't think you can wipe it, but if you think it's interesting, then wipe it."

Soon, the "squeak" sound of the soft cloth wiping the eggshell echoed in the room, and with the wiping sound, Betty also began to enthusiastically tell Enya about everything about Cecil City— —In her eyes, the city has experienced everything that happened from nothing.

……

At the same time, in the deepest space of the rebellious fortress, located in the "courtyard" of the shadow world, the giant deer in white, holy brilliance, Amoen is lying quietly composed of broken boulders, huge metal beams, and crystal fragments On the ground.

This holy creature as huge as a hill is now opening its eyes, and those crystal-like eyes filled with white light are staring straight at something placed not far in front of him-it is a large The magic net terminal device has a precision base made of alloy inlaid with high-quality projection crystal, and the crystal is filled with dim gleam.

This device has not been activated, and not far away from the device, you can see the magic obelisk used to enhance and forward the signal, the additional magic net power matrix, and other magic items with different functions.

Not far from the giant deer Ammon, there is a huge shadow. It is a beautiful lady who is as tall as a bell tower and composed of illusory magical clouds on her lower body. This lady is squatting on the side at the moment, she sees I looked at the large magic net terminal that hadn't been activated, then looked at the giant deer that was motionless, and finally couldn't help but say: "Need help?"

"No," the former **** of nature immediately refused, "I can."

"You have been operating indiscriminately for a long time-actually you only need to start it..."

"No, I can!"
