After all the most sensitive issues were mentioned, the communication between Gowen and Saldrin naturally became much easier. For the time being, no longer considering the tension between Tifong and Ansu, nor discussing the decline of the Cecil family and the current chaotic domestic situation, the two of them chatted again like friends seven hundred years ago.

At least, this seems to be true from Saldrin's perspective.

"Actually, when I heard that you established a pioneering corps in the south, I believed you were real - after all, this is very similar to what you would do," Saldrin said with a smile. "A person who has been out of touch with society for seven hundred years is not your style to return to the aristocratic circle and fight with people. It is probably easier for you to develop land in this desolate area."

"The main reason is that intrigue is really boring, especially those are still a group of juniors," Gao Wen waved his hand. "It's too embarrassing to get along. As long as you think about those people being descendants of those old guys back then, you always feel weird."

Gao Wen made an excuse to stay away from the royal noble circle, but Saldrin thought seriously. He remembered the amazing prosperity of the Cecil territory he had seen along the way, the weapons and equipment of the Cecil soldiers that were called black technology, and the special temperament he felt when facing the Cecil combat regiment - it was a completely different belief and momentum from ordinary aristocratic private soldiers. Although the momentum was still very immature, it was enough to be eye-catching.

It would be understandable if there were only a small group of personal soldiers like this, but all the soldiers in Cecil were equally elite, which is worth pondering.

As an elf and the keenest ranger profession among elfs, Saldrin can reason about a lot from his observation of details.

After the ancestor lifted the coffin and took a look at the domestic situation, he announced that he did not want to intrigue with his descendants, so he ran to a remote place where the king could not control. Then, in less than a year, he put out a branch of troops that could defeat any conventional army in the world, and expanded his army wildly...

I thought about it for a moment and felt so scary. My father went home and saw the living room in a mess. Then he smiled faintly at the naughty child covered in mud, and turned around and went to the kitchen to find a rolling pin!

Saldrin was mumbling here alone, but Gao Wen didn't know what the elf ranger had imagined in less than half a minute. He just pretended to be careless and asked casually: "What is your specific position in the Tifeng army?"

Saldrin's expression was a little serious: "I can't just tell my employer's secrets, even if it's for you - you should know my principles."

"I didn't ask you to tell me about the border defenses of Tifeng," Gao Wen shrugged, thinking that this hair loss elf is indeed a principled guy like in his memory, but he was not disappointed in his expression. He asked casually, "Pick up what you can say."

"I fought under Commander Andertha Wendell of the Winter Wolf Legion, but I didn't have any real power or official position," said Saldrin. "You know, I'm always an alien, and it's impossible to hold power in the human army - but the commission given by Tifeng is quite high and fair."

"Anterssa Wendell?" Gao Wen frowned, "That young wolf general?"

"Do you know her?" Saldrin was stunned and smiled, "Yes, it's the descendant of Tyrian, who is a very talented girl, both in terms of personal combat power and command ability, and does not embarrass her ancestors. But she was a little stubborn and had a kind of obsession with Ansu - her father, Bard Wendel, disappeared on the border between Ansu and Tifeng, and she always believed that Ansu people killed her father."

"Bad Wendell..." Gao Wen's expression was a little strange in an instant. He didn't know whether he should tell Saldrin the truth about Bad's degenerate into a cult who died, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell it. Anyway, for Cecil, whether the news was spreading had no effect. "In fact, I met a cult who died this year, and that person... I'm afraid it was Bad."

Saldrin was stunned: "What?!"

Gao Wen told what he knew. The more he heard Saldrin became, the more surprised: "There was such a thing... How could the previous generation wolf general who had been missing for more than ten years become a druid whose life will eventually die?!"

"God knows what happened in the middle, and I didn't believe it at the beginning, but the reputation of the Mitsunian Treasure House is known to the world. Their intelligence should not be wrong," Gao Wen shook his head, "Forget it, even if this matter reaches Andesha's ears, she wouldn't believe it. The paranoid Avengers don't have much judgment. Compared to these things that are far away in the sky, I now want to know more about how many troops infiltrated from the Tifeng Empire in the Dark Mountains."

The topic suddenly became sensitive again, and Saldrin looked a little hesitant. Gao Wen continued to see this: "Soldrin, I know your principles, but at this time you tell me the information of other infiltration forces that is good for everyone - you should know that my soldiers have wiped out an infiltration team, and as long as the other infiltration forces are still active in the dark mountains, it is only a matter of time before they are caught by me. You have chosen a path that looks safe but is actually heading towards death - the only way to make them survive now is to tell me their course of action, and I promise to catch the survivors as much as possible."

Then he sent it to the mountains to mine - Gao Wen added the second half in his heart.

"It's not that I don't want to cooperate, but that you may not be able to catch them now," Saldrin spread his hands and told the truth. "Before we set out, Andesha Wendell had received the information and imagined that you were really resurrected and the infiltration forces fell into your hands - as long as the home team I led was in danger, or more than two small teams lost contact, the others would immediately leave the Dark Mountains with the collected information, retreated the same way or circled back to the border from the wild forests in the north, and the retreat route was completely random, which was to prevent someone from being captured by you and then telling the other people's location."

Speaking of this, Saldrin added: "We use the messenger demon bug to confirm the location and safety of each team every few hours. Now everyone must have realized something is wrong. I have observed your soldiers, and at their speed of movement and the situation of mountain roads, they cannot catch up."

"...It is worthy of being the elite troops of the Winter Wolf Legion. There is no loophole left at all," Gao Wen shook his head helplessly, and could only give up the idea of ​​killing all the Tifeng troops that penetrated into the dark mountains. The Cecil soldiers with black technology weapons and equipment are indeed first-class in destructive power, but there is really no special advantage in pursuing the enemy in the deep mountains, at least not yet.

However, he still had to take some actions - such as writing a letter to Duke Silas Loren in the East, so that the other party could pay attention to the winter infiltration of the Tifeng Empire...

The Dark Mountains are indeed a good breakthrough for carrying out infiltration operations, but Gao Wen believes that the Tifeng Empire cannot only conduct such an infiltration. The entire Ansu-Tifeng border is so long, and there are many complex terrain in the middle, so it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy will not be regarded as a loophole.

After a long talk, Gowen arranged a residence for Solderlin. Given the current complex identity and position of the high-level ranger, Gowen asked Solderlin to temporarily live in a mansion not far from the Lord's Mansion, which was next to Knight Street. On the one hand, this gave the other party the treatment that matched his identity as an advanced extraordinary person, and on the other hand, it was convenient for surveillance and control.

Even though he knew that this high-level ranger would not cause trouble, he had to act like a person below.

After sending Saldrin away in person, Gao Wen returned to the study room, but found Amber standing at the door waiting for him.

"Are you still guarding the door here?" Gao Wen was stunned after seeing this half-elf, "Why are you so obedient today?"

"What are you looking at? Your eldest granddaughter and the electrician are waiting for you inside," Amber rolled her eyes. "They came as soon as you left, and they have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Herty and Carmier?" Gao Wen frowned, "Then you don't have to stand at the door, they won't let you in."

"Don't mention, the two of them were so excited about a stone inside, and they kept talking like crazy. I was drinking tea next to me. They all insisted on pulling me to tell me what the spread of magic field is - my head hurts, so why not come out and wait for you," Amber waved his hand with a complaining face, "You go in and take a look, I'll take a look at the training of Anton and those gangsters."

After saying this, Amber disappeared into the corridor in a shadow step, without even leaving a chance to reply to Gao Wen.

Gao Wen stared blankly at Amber disappearing into the air, shook his head inexplicably, and reached out to push open the door of the study.

Then he saw Hetty and Carmier who were eagerly discussing the issue, and the so-called "stone" placed on the open space in the middle of the study.

There is obviously something wrong with Amber's description ability - this is not a stone, it is obviously a brand new and complex magic device!

"Ancestor!" "Lord!"

As soon as Gao Wen pushed the door, Heti and Kamair, who were discussing a technical issue in the room, immediately raised their heads and said together: "Look at this!" "An incredible feature!"

"Wait a minute, you two are calm first." Gao Wen knew what the researcher would be like once he had achieved results, but he had to let Hetty and Carmier calm down and explain the situation to himself. "Hetty, tell me, what is this?"

He pointed to the device placed on the open space - its main body is a crystal cut into an obelisk shape, about one meter high, with a deep blue-purple luster, and the crystal itself is installed on a silver-white metal base. The metal base is roughly triangular, with a center bulging upwards and firmly supporting the crystal body. On its surface, a large number of magic patterns and reserved fixing bolt interfaces can be seen. Obviously, it can be fixedly installed on a certain plane. On the top of the crystal, there is also a smaller metal device, which is like a reduced version of the base, and the surface can also be seen with the engraved magic patterns.

It looks amazing at first glance.
