Chapter 1259: reaction

The first thousand two hundred and fifty-nine chapters of the text of the sword of dawn reflect the unique blue energy response, the location and timing of its appearance, and more importantly the response of the two young dragons. These messages are put together, making Gawain aware of it in an instant When it came time to find what the captain of the sentinel had discovered: the deep blue devil's mark.

"Where did you find this thing?" Merita also reacted instantly, staring straight at the tall captain of the sentry, "How much is there?"

"Such traces were found in the southern part of the post and in a section of hills extending towards the eastern inland area. The number is small, but the distribution is very concentrated, and the scattered area is roughly striped," the captain of the sentry replied immediately, "affected Basically it is this kind of stone, but similar marks have been found on some metal wrecks. Farther away, it’s hard to say that it is beyond our current control."

Noretta stood aside, heard with a serious face, and finally couldn’t help but look at Merita and said, "What do you think? These traces..."

Melita did not speak, but turned her gaze to Gawain. The latter frowned and thought about something. After noticing Melita's gaze, she slowly broke the silence: "These traces should be the changes in the dark blue network. The'evidence' left behind, the reason why the whelps resonated and moved toward the west coast may also be the reason for this, but now we have no evidence to link the dark blue magic mark with the tower of the tide... I can't think of any connection between the two."

Merita subconsciously looked at the tall tower standing on the sea in the deep night: "So, we are going to that tall tower next, right?"

"It’s not ‘us’ that you and Noreta will stay on the Bitter Winter temporarily, and the other dragon warriors will stay," Gawain shook his head, "Amber and I, the two of us will go in first."

"You two?" Melita immediately widened her eyes, "The situation in that tower is unknown. Are you sure you don't need Noretta and I to serve as guards? And..."

"The greatest danger in that tower is not simply a threat of force, but the pollution of the upsurge," Gao Wen shook his head before Melita was finished. "Amber and I both have the ability to resist the erosion of the gods. And... I don’t know if Heragor or Andar have mentioned to you, there is a certain connection between me and the sailor’s legacy. Except for the two of us, other ordinary people near the tower are all contaminated. The possibility of this is not something that can be solved by simply being strong."

When he said this, he smiled, with confidence in his tone: "And when it comes to'powerful'... Don't forget that my own strength is also a legend, so I don't need to accept the protection of others when exploring the tower. .

"So you all stay here as back-ups, and keep an eye on the movement of the tower and the news from Amber and I. If something really runs out of that tower... Be sure to intercept it."

"...Okay," Melita thought for a while, and found that she had no reason to refute, she nodded slightly, "Then we will stay on the Bitter Winter and wait for your news. But how do you and Kohaku plan to get there? How do you plan to send the news back? There are still six nautical miles away from that tower, if the Bitter Winter and the Dragon Group can't get close..."

"Why didn't we even prepare for this?" Gao Wen couldn't help but laugh, and looked up at a certain area near the Bitter Winter bridge. "The Dragoon fighters on the Bitter Winter are equipped with reconnaissance and **** functions, and I will drive with Amber. That past. As for the connection with Bitter Winter...this ship is equipped with a powerful magic net broadcasting transceiver. Amber and I will take the magic net terminal. Six nautical miles...has not exceeded the receiving range of Bitter Winter’s shipboard communications. Of course, after arriving in that tower, there may be some situation, it is possible that the communication will be blocked, there is no way we can only adapt to the situation."

"I understand." Melita nodded slightly, but just before Gawain and Amber were about to leave, Modil, the great adventurer who had always been standing next to Victoria without making a sound, suddenly stepped forward and broke. Silence: "Hey, don't you plan to take me? I have to go with you!"

Gawain couldn’t help but glanced at the great adventurer: “You should stay here temporarily, after all, you may also be contaminated.”

There is still the second half of the sentence in his heart that he did not say: This time if you are contaminated again, there will be no dragon **** to help renew your life.

However, Modil had obviously considered this issue seriously. The old man shook his head with a firm attitude: "Why should I stay on the boat at this critical time? Why should I come with you in the first place? I want to go with you. I know what's inside. Risk, but in my current state, I would rather take a little risk. I ran so far from the mainland of Loren and came here just for today."

Gawain watched the big adventurer's eyes quietly, and the latter greeted his gaze calmly. After a confrontation for ten seconds, Gawain looked at the Duke of Victoria who was standing next to Modil. In the eyes of the viewer... there was nothing in the eyes, but the Duke of Ice and Snow nodded slightly.

"Okay," Gawain finally nodded, "If you have anything to prepare, prepare now. We will take off in 15 minutes."

...

The low buzzing sound broke the silence under the night. The light dragoon aircraft used for reconnaissance skimmed the sea under the starlight, breaking the cold wind and flew towards the distant tower. The lighting and navigation lights on the aircraft shell were in the dark. Exuding glow, it outlines the outline of this magical creation, making it like a ghost phantom that shuttles in the night.

Amber sat in her place, but she was not honest at all. She leaned forward and almost pressed her face against the crystal window on the side. While looking at the night view outside with excitement, she BB endlessly: "Hey! I didn't expect you really I know how to open this! At first I heard you say that I thought you were joking, but I didn’t expect you to fly this pretty well. When did you learn..."

"Nonsense," Gawain was holding the joystick of the aircraft in his hand, feeling the mechanical feedback that this magical engineering creation passed to him, and he couldn't help but slanted a glance at the shame of the alliance next to him, "If I can't open it, I can just Do you make a plan? Do you think that the aircraft is your shadow ability? When you use it, a "I think" can be used? If it is not controlled well, it will fall!"

"Oh oh oh" Humber agreed and nodded. He didn't know how to listen to the words carefully. On the contrary, Modil, who was sitting behind Gawain's side, never said anything. The great adventurer just looked thinking. Since the aircraft took off, he has been carefully observing the various equipment in its cockpit, observing the changes outside the porthole, observing the flow of magic inside it, and seeing this scene, even Amber, who is in a state of excitement, can’t help but ask. One sentence, "Hey, sir, do you express your thoughts?"

"...It's an incredible thing," Modil finally said, with admiration in his tone, "I saw the mechanical ship driven by magic machinery before, and I already felt the magical technology incredible, but I didn't expect it to be in the legend. The flying machine is more ingenious than the mechanical ship... Its anti-gravity structure and driving structure are not like things in the human magic system, but they can work together... incredible, incredible..."

The great adventurer used several "unbelievable" to express his feelings, and then he was silent for a moment before he said thoughtfully: "It would be nice if there was such a machine during the adventure, although I also It can fly, but this machine is obviously more tireless than humans, and its speed and altitude are far beyond the wizard’s flying skills... and it can carry more supplies..."

"In fact, we are already using various specially restructured'dragon cavalry' for survey work," Amber said immediately on the side. "There are several departments of the Government Affairs Department that have corresponding survey teams. There are surveying and mapping maps, and there are surveying teams. Minerals, as well as observing forests, hydrology, flora and fauna, and offshore ecosystems. They are equipped with magic guided vehicles, anti-gravity aircraft or mechanical ships, logistics provided by the government affairs office, and a well-staffed professional team and various Equipment We have recently hired several sea monsters as deep-sea consultants, and the Government Affairs Office even plans to explore the submarine ecology near Beigang..."

Amber just opened up a topic habitually and then balabala went on endlessly, but Modil, who was listening to the side, showed a very serious and solemn appearance. The adventurous listened intently, as if he was imagining it to be systematic. What will be the prospect of a large-scale exploration project backed by national power? Finally, a somewhat complicated smile appeared on his face, and he whispered softly as if talking to himself: "It's great...this era is really good." It's different..."

The cockpit of the aircraft was a bit quiet for a while, only the low buzzing sound of the magical equipment was coming from around, and then Gawain’s voice suddenly sounded: "Here, I will find a place to land."

Amber’s attention was drawn outside again in an instant. She squatted on the window, staring at the scenery outside, her mouth slowly widening, and she made an exaggerated voice: "...Wow!"

The figure of the towering tower enveloped this small flying machine. The ancient miracle that has been standing on the surface of this planet for nearly two million years has been magnified at this distance into a posture that is impossible to see the whole picture. Amber stared. Big eyes wanted to observe the overall outline of the giant tower, but only saw an "arc-shaped barrier" extending upward in the field of vision under the night, and the surface of the barrier was full of lines and convexities that she could not understand. Up.

Gawain turned on the extra ground light and looked for a suitable place to land with the help of strong light. He saw the earth made of unknown alloys continue to extend below, and buildings like warehouses or factories were distributed. On the roughly disc-shaped man-made platform, he also saw structures that seemed to be roads and connecting tracks. These suspected ancient traffic facilities were connected to the buildings scattered around the platform, and finally all connected to the foundations of the towers. nearby.

The towering tower above obscured the starlight, casting a spectacular but disturbing shadow on the platform and the nearby sea. The light reconnaissance aircraft quietly passed through this shadow, and in the process of searching for the landing site, Gawain's mind is constantly sketching and imagining the appearance of this place at the beginning of its construction, and imagining what this ancient facility will look like during the years when the sailors temporarily stayed on this planet.

Will those factories operate day and night? Will there be managers living on this steel island? Where will the things produced from here be sent? Will there be a shuttle from space piercing the sky and landing somewhere in this steel land, such as a star harbor?

He felt his heart beating and the blood flowed faster, he had to control himself specifically, and finally suppressed the excitement that emerged from the bottom of his heart and he knew where it came from.

This is the first time he has personally come into contact with an intact voyager's legacy, and it is still such a large-scale legacy, some kind of inexplicable "resonance" wakes up in his heart, making him feel faintly... between himself and this tower There is a connection.

Amber noticed the slight change between Gawain’s breathing and the look in her eyes. She looked a little worried and seemed to want to come over to ask about the situation, but before she spoke, a slight vibration suddenly came from under her body. The aircraft was in metal somewhere. It landed on the platform, and Gawain's voice came into her and Modil's ears: "We landed."

Gao Wen sighed deeply. He turned on the communication device on the operation panel. With a slight rustling noise, the signal between the aircraft and the Bitter Winter was successfully connected. Byron's figure appeared in the small holographic projection. His voice It sounds clear: "Your Majesty, how is your situation there?"

"We have landed safely at the southwest corner of the inner ring area of ​​the'Island of Steel'," Gao Wen said, looking out of the porthole. "According to my observation, there should be an entrance to the inside of the tower nearby. Then we I will go to the island to investigate. I will keep the magic net terminal of the reconnaissance plane turned on and adjust to the forwarding mode. Do not close this communication line."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Let's go," Gawain nodded, looking at Amber beside him and Modil behind him, "Come to witness this miraculous creation left over from the ancients."

The hatch of the dragoon opened, Amber and Modil stepped out of the cockpit one after another, stepping on this iron and steel ground that had gone through nearly two million years without any signs of weathering and disintegration. Gawain left at the end and was leaving. The communication system of the Dragoon fighter was adjusted to the forwarding state. In this way, this aircraft can act as a communication "base station", and the portable magic net terminal he carries can use this "base station" to maintain communication with Bitter Winter. Contact, this is tantamount to solving the problem of low power and weak signal of the portable magic net terminal.

"My God..." Amber widened her eyes, looking at the silent giant island of steel, "How did this thing come out... can the mortal race really make this kind of thing?"

Gawain patted her shoulder lightly: "In the eyes of the ancients thousands of years ago, our mechanical bridge standing on the Baishui River is also a miracle, and it will make them exclaim as much as you."

Amber showed a thoughtful look, and Gawain looked at Modil on the other side of him: "How do you feel? Do you remember anything?"

"...No," Modil shook his head slowly, "I don't feel anything, I don't think of anything, but... I vaguely feel that this place seems a bit familiar, a familiarity... I can't even speak of it."

"As expected," Gawain nodded slightly, looking into the darkness in the distance. They are now standing on a straight and flat road. On both sides of the road, there are some neatly arranged rows of only half a meter. The high metal piles and the mottled marks on the ground seem to have traces of some kind of traffic signs. "Walking along this road, I just saw from the sky that its end is at the foot of the tower."

Speaking, he stepped forward, with Amber and Modil following him closely.

"buzzing"

Some slight buzzing sound suddenly came into Gawain's ears at this moment.

In an instant, the three of them were on guard, and Gawain drew out the pioneer's sword that he had specially brought during the operation. Modil did not know when there was an extra combat staff in his hand, and Amber was even more of a leg. Already stepped into the shadow rift, and in the next second, Gao Wen saw the half-meter-high metal piles on both sides of the road suddenly changed in the dark

The structure at the top of them quietly opened, and a bright white ball of light rose from it and rose to several meters in the sky. Under the light of the ball of light, the road that was originally covered by darkness became bright as day.

This is a street light.

It started by itself.
