Chapter 1246: Caught bug

In any case, the young dragon’s interesting behavior can be regarded as a bit of unexpected pleasure for this journey across the ocean, but the little guy’s fearless and fearless attitude really makes Gawain uneasy-from Merita From the beginning of the lift-off, the little guy was not free for a moment, either running around on his mother's back or running to a high place to stretch his head out of the barrier, screaming indiscriminately with her mouth open in the face of the strong wind, she even screamed at once. Going to crawl along the tip of Merita's tail to the end, Gawain was quick to stop with his eyes...

Now Gawain and Humber seriously suspect that the "Whelps will travel on the mother's back honestly" described by Merita before taking off are afraid that it is not theoretical knowledge from a manual compiled by a crappy scholar-this and The reality is too far off!

"How could it be some theoretical knowledge!" Hearing Gao Wen's questioning, Melita immediately retorted in a serious tone, "I have consulted specially...Ms. Enya, she still can't understand the young dragon. ?"

Gao Wenwen hasn’t felt anything, but when I heard this, I felt something was wrong. After a little thought, I recalled that the retired dragon **** seemed to be a theoretical school. According to the former **** of nature and unwilling to be named With the reliable information brought by the exposed neural network administrator, Enya used to inquire about the knowledge of hatching dragon cubs every day when she helped hatch the eggs, and even almost asked Pitman for help...

On the spot, his eyes became subtle when he looked at the whelpling next to him. He said that this little guy can grow up healthy to this day. Thanks to the dragon’s strong innate conditions, this time Merita and Noreta brought two little ones. It seems really necessary for the guy to go back to Tarrond. At least these two novice mothers still have the opportunity to consult with the normal ancient dragons here about the correct experience of bringing babies...

"Hey, why are you not talking?" Merita's voice suddenly came from the front, interrupting Gawain's random thoughts, "Are you worried about Noretta? Then you don't have to worry about it, although you don't want to admit it. , But her flying skills are much better than mine..."

"Oh, cough, cough, I'm not worried about this," Gao Wen coughed awkwardly, and raised a point cautiously. "I just think you don't listen to Enya when you take care of the young dragon. Her experience... …After all, her perspective back then was different from that of mortals."

"You're right," Melita said casually, and then the conversation changed. "Yes, after you arrive at Tarrond, will you go straight to the west coast? Or take a break in New Argundol first. God? It’s up to your liking, we can arrange it at any time-but the living conditions are definitely not as good as when you came last time..."

"Stay in Agonda first. I want to meet the great adventurer in person," Gawain said casually. "Also give Byron some time. He and his Bitter Winter can't fly as fast as you."

"Okay," Melita replied casually, and then murmured with a hint of emotion, "Ah...Without the means of real-time communication with Talrond, many things have become troublesome, now relying on The most primitive way to deliver cross-sea letters, even if the fastest flying white dragon acts as a messenger, the news of Agundor will take a whole day to reach Beigang... Instead, Loren, who seemed backward before, now has more and more The more convenient the real-time communication, the news from Beigang can be sent to Cecil in an instant, and even to the Temple of the Stars in the southernmost part of the mainland..."

"We are trying to solve this problem," Gao Wen nodded when he heard the words. "Cecile's communications experts and your Tarrond technicians, we are jointly considering a solution that can replace the completely destroyed Omega network. Cross-sea communication plan. There are two current ideas, one is to set up a transit hub at sea, relying on those permanent islands and floating automatic transmission towers to achieve-but this requires high construction costs and subsequent maintenance costs, and part of it Long-term personnel must also be stationed in offshore facilities, which is another significant investment;

"The second plan is to set up super-powered hub towers in Binhai County and Beigang, and use the atmospheric structure to transmit signals. According to the information provided by your Talrond technicians, the steady-state boundary layer of the atmosphere can reflect and modulate The Arcane Oscillation signal of Omega used similar technology in the previous Omega Global Communication Network, but this solution also has problems. After Omega’s departure, with the current level of technology of Loren and Talrond, we may not be able to guarantee this. The reliability of the plan."

Speaking of this cutting-edge technology problem, Gao Wen seemed very interested, but Amber was drowsy at the side. When Gao Wen finally heard his voice, the half-elf immediately yawned and started muttering: "Say two for a long time. The implementation of the plan is not very reliable..."

"Strictly speaking, it should be said that both solutions are possible, but we need to make some trade-offs in terms of cost and reliability," Gawain said with a serious expression. "Considering that Tarrond is a member of the alliance, Importance, no matter what, we are going to build this cross-sea communication system."

"Establishing cross-sea communication with Talrond..." Amber muttered, with emotion in his tone, "I didn't expect that we would have done this kind of thing. Everything is developing so fast."

Gao Wen didn't speak, he just suddenly recalled the news he had received from Enya before he set off.

Regarding the "abnormality" detected by the magic goddess Mirmina, and the possibility that the memory of the gods will also be interfered by some external force, the three former gods have new doubts and worries about the "sentinel", and these worries are now Positive pressure in Gawain's heart.

Amber is right. Everything is developing very fast—but compared with the challenges that mortals will face, even this development speed may not be fast enough.

...

Cecil City, somewhere in a research facility deep in the Dark Mountain Rebellion Fortress, a large laboratory is brightly lit.

Veronica, holding a platinum scepter, stood in front of the platform in the center of the laboratory, looking calmly at the crystal vessel placed on the platform. The crystal vessel was filled with half a box of off-white sand, sprinkled from high above. Under the bright light of, they diffused a layer of off-white texture around them, and this texture spread all the way to the platform, so that the experimental platform with blue background also showed the same hue as if it faded.

A technician's voice came from nearby: "The third weight test is over. The weight change of the sample after being affected by the weight loss rune conforms to the expected curve. After the position is closed, the speed of the magic power around the sample conforms to the expected curve. The sample is magical. The environment is stable in nature, does not exhibit demon suppression, does not exhibit force field repulsion, and does not exhibit divine characteristics."

"The next stage of testing is ready, platform 2 has been vacated, and a pure sample is needed for the magic impregnation test..."

"There is a contact from the God Analysis Laboratory on the 16th. The test on their side has ended, and the result report will be sent in 30 minutes..."

Listening to the orderly reports and communication voices of the technicians in her ears, Veronica's quiet and gentle expression on her face has never changed. She has been watching the sample in front of her for a long time, and it has been a long time before she seems to be talking to herself. Fang whispered softly: "Apart from these visual effects, is it really just ordinary sand... some kind of constant illusion?"

"Veronica think tank chief," a researcher in a white short robe walked over and said respectfully, "what is the arrangement after this round of testing?"

"After our side is over, we can take a rest." Veronica looked back at the technician, with a faint smile on her face-in other places, she has many different names, people call her The princess called her Lord Saint and the side of the holy light, but in these research facilities affiliated to the Theocracy Council, in the technical department that analyzes the mysteries of the gods, she was called the "think tank chief."

She likes this "internal title" which is different from other places, which occasionally reminds her of those things related to the "disobedience plan". Although she shut down the emotional logic of remembering the past and generating strong emotions a long time ago, she Doesn't contradict this feedback mechanism that triggers memories-it will make her feel "alive".

"The next step is to wait for news," she nodded slightly, and then said, "wait for news from the ‘senior advisory department’ and see if there is anything to discover there."

"Senior consultant..." The assistant researcher suddenly showed a solemn expression on his face. Obviously, the existence of the term "senior consultant" deserves his seriousness.

And at the same time, in the deepest part of this rebellious fortress, in the rebellious courtyard in the shadow world, the holy giant deer whose body size has been reduced a lot, her injuries have healed, and Milmina, who is surrounded by magic curtains. Standing in a wide open space, in front of them stood a high platform shaped with unknown materials, and in the center of the high platform, a large amount of gray-white sand and dust was piled up in an unusually complex structure, which was faintly emitting light blue. The center of the brilliant circle.

A gray-white halo around the dust is constantly surging, as if trying to spread and infect some of one’s own “characteristics”, and want the surrounding magic circle to show the same gray-white texture, but the magic circle The strong aura in the middle has successfully prevented the spread of the gray areas around the dust-the latter’s infective ability is always disadvantageous in the material world, but on this high platform shaped like an altar, it has been compressed around the sand pile. It only spreads out a few millimeters at most.

"These sands really can't'contaminate' the runes you set," Amone observed for a while, turned his head and said to the goddess of magic beside him, and then his eyes couldn't help but fall on the other party-he saw the other party's chest A sign condensed with magic power hangs in front of it, just like the small signs hung on the chest of mortals who work in a rebellious fortress. There are also letters condensed with magical power on it that shine brightly-"Senior Advisor Milmina" , "Do you have to put such a sign on your body?"

"Of course, sense of ritual, do you know what sense of ritual is?" Milmina immediately replied, "Our current status is the senior advisor of the Theocracy Council, and this is the first time we personally preside over the research as a senior advisor. Projects-they were all studied before, but we are in charge of the research this time. Don't you think it needs to be more serious?"

Amone replied casually: "I don't think whether you are serious or not has nothing to do with whether you have such a sign on your body..."

"You just don't want me to hang up the sign for you," Milmina immediately glanced at the white giant deer. "'Senior Advisor Amoen', doesn't it sound prestigious? How nice to hang on your body, You have to say it looks like a collar..."

"Enough, I don't want to discuss this with you," Amone couldn't help but interrupted before the other person finished speaking, and at the same time glanced at the high platform-the high platform was not built by humans, nor is it this one. Rebelling against the things in the courtyard itself, it was Mirmina who used the authority of the magic domain to shape it out of thin air. Under the combined action of the high platform and the upper circle, those "shadows and dust" were completely isolated. It looks like this thing is already running stably, when do we start the next step?"

"Well, it looks almost..." Milmina became a little serious, and she stared at the dust in the center of the circle (this large pile of sand was made by Amber for a long time, after all, the two people who presided over the project were here. A "senior consultant" is too big), while sensing the information transmitted by the rune he set up by himself, he said in a deep voice, "Wait for you and I will close your eyes, and you will try to block all the rest of our perceptions. , But let’s not leave the vicinity of the platform. After a minute, we will unblock and open our eyes together.”

Amorn is still a little skeptical: "Does this process really work?"

"This is the advice given by Ms. Enya," Mirmina said casually. "She seems to have observed something from the dust, but her conditions were not suitable, so she told me about the process. Rebellion against the fortress. This is a natural'shield zone', and the phenomenon we observe should be closer to the'truth'."

"Well, I trust Madam Enya's judgment," Amone nodded, "Now?"

For the last time, Milmina's gaze fell on the sand pile in the center of the platform, and then she retracted her gaze, closed her eyes, and nodded gently: "Go ahead."

In the rebellious courtyard shrouded in boundless darkness and chaos, beside the high platform piled with shadows and dust, the two gods closed their eyes together, and as they closed their eyes, the sand piled in the center of the circle suddenly dimmed. Down, showing signs of "fading".

In the next moment, Amone mobilized his power again, and began to block out the external perception of himself and Milmina little by little.

As their perception was shielded, the sand and dust piled on the platform quickly became dim and transparent, as if the color and texture had faded, and even as if the existence itself had faded, a little bit disappeared in the center of the circle...

At the moment when all the dust disappeared, the runes set by Mirmina flashed brightly!

However, at this moment, both Amone and Milmina knew nothing about it. Until time passed quietly and the effect of the perception shielding was lifted, Milmina's voice broke the silence: "Open your eyes."

Amone opened his eyes, and those crystal-like eyes saw the scene on the platform.

He saw that the runes on the platform were flashing fast, and the complex magic circle that made people feel dizzy at a glance flickered like a magic spar lamp with poor contact, and the chaotic light and shadow jumped and flickered over the magic circle. , And in this chaotic light and shadow, the original sand pile is nowhere to be found, but you can see many things like gray-white sand constantly appearing and disappearing-this scene is like the pile of gray-white sand being banished Out of this world, now desperately wanting to come back.

Amone was stunned: "This...what's going on?"

"In the absence of external observation, the shadows and dust disappeared. After the observer returns, they try to reappear-but the circle I set up will forcefully imprison the'state' within a certain range after leaving my observation. ," Milmina stared at the chaotic flashing lights and shadows with solemn expression, and said slowly and lowly, "What you see is the imprisoned'contradiction'. According to the popular saying among those nodal scholars, it is A'vulnerability' is a loophole created after a conflict between an error derivative and the real world."

(Friendly recommend a book, titled "Manual of Conquering Another World", a new work by a newcomer, but the setting is more interesting, directly paste the introduction:

In a sudden accident, a tourist bus carrying 28 people traversed a certain fairy world unsuspectingly.

The years are long, and a hundred years in another world are passing away.

Just as the descendants of this group of traversers were facing a crisis again, a light gate suddenly appeared, reconnecting the two worlds...

In short, this is the story of a group of rabbits propagating the four modernizations in another world and feeding back the earth...)
