Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh elves
On the continent of Loren, it is not only the Principality of Cecil that is paying attention to the movements of the magnificent wall.
The effects of the movement of the magnificent walls are particularly disturbing, over the vast and boundless wastelands of Gondor, over the dark and twisted jungle and corrupt lands in the southern part of the continent, on the warm land covered by mountains and boundless forests.
Because there is no natural barrier like a dark mountain range between the Kaoling Kingdom and the wasteland of Gondor.
This kingdom located in the southern part of the continent was established by the southern exiles of the former Gondor Empire. With the help of the elves, the exiles established a new kingdom between the mountains and the elves and were deeply influenced by elves culture for the next seven hundred years. After long-term running-in, adaptation, trade and marriage, the relationship between this country and the Silver Empire further south became extremely close. Due to the actual influence of the magnificent wall, the border area in the north of the Kaoling Kingdom near the Gondor wasteland was essentially controlled by elves and humans. The two races worked together to create an endless "forest and sea defense line" here to resist the threats brought by the wasteland.
Here, hundreds of years of lip-tooth dependence and substantial threats from wasteland completely tied the two countries together.
In the forest protection tower of Linhai Line No. 1, Ranger General Lomar stood in front of the oval window, looking at the barrier in the north. The endless green forests extend in his vision. The towering ancient tree with magic swayed its branches and leaves in the invisible magic wind, making it seem like a layer of emerald green waves floating on the forest. At the end of the horizon at the far distance, the energy barrier of the magnificent wall was flashing with an unsettling brightness. The low rolling sound of wind and thunder passed through the forest and entered the ears of the ranger.
He turned around and looked at the main console in the hall: "What's the situation ahead?"
The hall is oval, and the main console is located in the center of this oval room. A row of silver-white light alloy cylinders are neatly arranged on both sides of the main console, projecting various holographic images outwards. Several elves controllers are busy among the alloy cylinders.
Hearing the words of General Ranger, one of the controllers immediately activated the cylinder in front of him. As the runes light up, a set of projections in front of the cylinder were magnified, presenting the northernmost situation of the forest defense line: On the picture, more than a dozen towering ancient trees were squeaking up, walking forward with their "foots" composed of countless thorns. Bright runes floated on the branches of the ancient tree, forming layers of energy barriers within the coverage of the canopy, and a group of elves in short robes rode on the moonlight deer, following closely behind the ancient tree, and rushed towards the energy barrier that was on the verge of overload in the distance.
"The second batch of magicians have set out, and sixteen ancient guardian trees are escorting them."
"How was the situation of the first batch of magicians? Have you escaped?"
The controller quickly reported: "I am still trapped in the tunnel area, and three people are contaminated by the demon tide. The guardian ancient tree is in urgent need of treatment, with medicine and treatment pods, but it is probably too late."
General Ranger's brows frowned tightly. He looked at the forest outside the window. The forest was built by humans and elves. It was used to block and purify the magic energy that continued to spread from the wasteland of Gondor. The original magic seeds have now become a barrier that can cover the entire northern border after seven hundred years of growth. But in the face of the direct impact of the demon tide, can these brave and loyal ancient trees really bear it?
In any case, the offline Sentinel Tower must be restarted.
"Let the Rangers gather again and stand by on the Sentinel Heights. When the second team crosses the Linhai Front, the distortions around the Sentinel Tower will be cleared from the east and west sides to gain at least thirty minutes of emergency repair time for the magicians," General Ranger whispered to his deputy, "This tower cannot be lost!!"
"yes."
As soon as his subordinate finished speaking, the voice of the correspondent came from another direction: "General, the Temple of Stars sent a communication, it was Her Majesty the Queen."
Queen? His Majesty has arrived at the Temple of Stars? Is the situation so serious?
General Ranger immediately responded as he walked towards the communication platform: "Connect."
The runes around the communication platform lit up. A holographic projection of the elves from the Temple of Stars appeared above the cylindrical communicator unique to the elves. The holographic projection of the elf Queen Belsetia appeared in front of the Ranger General. The ruler, who was majestic and beautiful, sat solemnly on the light golden "District Seat" with a look. Countless cables and pipes flashing from behind the seats, connecting a large number of ancient equipment around the Queen. The Queen herself stared at Lomar and said seriously: "Our communication with the entire northern region has been interrupted."
"Yes, your majesty," General Ranger lowered his head, "The communication system of the Magnificent Wall was severely damaged during the first overload. We are trying to fix it, but the most urgent task now is to restart Sentinel Tower One."
“How is the progress?”
"The first group of emergency repair teams were attacked by distortions and had to hide in the shelter tunnel. They are still trapped. The second group has just set off and I have sent Ranger troops to buy them the repair time," Ranger General said without any concealment. "The situation is not optimistic, but I can guarantee that I can complete the task."
"Very good," Queen Belsetia nodded slightly, "After the tower of sentry is restored, a group of the most elite rangers and jungle messengers will be selected, and I will send them to the north."
"Yes," General Ranger took the order and asked casually, "Are you going to remind several kingdoms in the north?"
"The Great Wall deteriorates faster than expected. This is a situation that threatens the entire world. Other kingdoms must be warned," the elf queen nodded, "and also appease the tribesmen in the northern part of the continent. Now that communication is cut off, they need to get news from their hometown. In addition... it is also necessary to go to Ansu to confirm the situation there."
General Ranger was slightly stunned: "The rumor about Gowen Cecil's resurrection?"
"It's not just a rumor that a high-level ranger who was traveling abroad also sent a message directly to the Temple of Stars. The high-level ranger once participated in the Northern Expedition Army and worked with Gowen Cecil for many years. He said he had confirmed the authenticity of the matter."
"A high-level ranger who has participated in the Northern Pioneer Army and worked with Gao Wen for many years?" Lomar thought for a moment when he heard this, "Is it Saldrin?"
"It's him."
"I understand, his words should be credible."
General Ranger nodded. He had known Saldrin for many years. Although he had not been in contact for the past seven centuries, the elves were a race with difficult personality to change. Even if he did not contact him for a long time, he believed that Saldrin was still an honest and reliable person. In addition to hair problems, the respectable old friend never lies.
The communication has been hung up.
Belsetia on the "Stat of Reign" exhaled a long sigh and gently tapped the armrests of the golden seat with her fingers. The lights of the cable pipes spreading out from behind her flashed, indicating that the queen was not at peace at the moment.
She raised her head and looked around the brightly lit oval hall, looking at the arc metal skeletons connecting the roof and floor around the hall, the rune lights flashing between the skeletons, and the elves magicians who were traveling around the hall, and asked, "How is the situation of the anti-gravity unit?"
The mage who was responsible for monitoring the anti-gravity unit responded immediately: "The output is stable, and the unit's response rate is 70%, Your Majesty."
Seventy percent...
One thousand years ago it was 80%, and five thousand years ago it was 90%.
This temple of stars is a precious heritage passed down from generation to generation by the elves. However, the technology to create it has long been lost. Today's silver elves are not even sure whether this floating fortress was designed by the elves themselves, or whether the overly long history of the Silver Empire and the chaos era of the original elves have destroyed too many inheritance memories. Everyone says that the elves are the most advanced civilization on this continent, but Belsetia himself knows that the elves are just lying on an advanced ancient relics. These ancient relics are gradually dying, and the elves' silver empire... are also gradually dying.
When will the Temple of Stars fall?
No one of the elves of all ages has ever thought about this. In their hearts, this ancient and eternal floating fortress seems to never fall, but sitting on the throne of the dominant throne, listening to the hard running of the ancient and broken ancient machinery, listening to the overwhelming moans of the mechanical spirit in its nervous system, Belsetia felt... She probably should consider this issue in her lifetime.
Seven hundred years ago, the Silver Empire could build a magnificent wall, but just because the last vacuum extraction station was shut down for unknown reasons two hundred years ago, it has become difficult for today's elves to repair a sentinel tower.
As the ruler of the Silver Empire, Belsetia did not want other countries to know about the terrible decline of the Silver Empire, but as a member of the intelligent race of Loren, she had to warn the human nations of a fact:
The magnificent wall may not last for many years, and the silver empire that once built it... does not have the ability to repair it again.
A close maid came up and bent down beside Belsetia's throne: "Your Majesty, you need a rest."
"Don't worry, the load is very low at this moment."
Belsetia waved her hand, then gently tapped the armrest of the seat on the other side, and a slightly trembling and distorted synthesizer sounded in the control hall: "Command input... Go to automatic return mode..."
A faint tremor came from the entire temple of stars. The huge floating fortress left the sky of the Gaoling Kingdom and began to slowly fly towards the vast jungle of the Silver Empire. Belsetia adjusted her posture on the seat, leaned against the backrest and slightly turned her head to look at her maid: "Do you still have the impression of Uncle Gaowen?"
The personal maid who grew up with her since childhood nodded: "You liked to be by his side at that time."
Belsetia laughed: "I followed him to make trouble and forced him to visit the tavern or something in the name of the queen."
She had not had a long time to contact with Gauven Cecil. The Northern Trail Blazers established a new kingdom in the north of the mainland. The pioneers who were busy dealing with the wasteland could not have any time to run to the south of the mainland. As the ruler of the Southern Silver Empire, Belsetia had no chance to leave her country. The only opportunity for contact between the two sides was the foundation laying and completion ceremony of the magnificent wall, the signing ceremony of several major agreements, etc. However, since Belsetia was just a little girl who had just sat on the throne and ignored everything, and the power of the empire was temporarily supervised by several regents, she had plenty of time to take advantage of the opportunity of each exchange activity to run to the stationed places of several human kingdoms.
The two places she liked to go to at that time were the temples of the Ansu Kingdom and the temples of the Tifeng Kingdom at that time, Tifeng was one of the many kingdoms in the eastern part of the mainland.
"Do you think the resurrection of Duke Gauwen is credible?" the personal maid couldn't help asking, "Although there seems to be evidence that this matter is true now..."
