Chapter five hundred and seventieth deep talk
Compared to dealing with the Ansu nobles in Saint Sunil, Sonia obviously appreciates Gao Wen's style of conduct.
She said what she saw and heard in Ansu during this period, and she couldn't help but complain in her tone: "We delayed the whole month in the north... In the sixty days, we listened to those nobles shirking responsibility and discussing meaningless issues. In comparison, the Eastern Frontier, known as the "rebels", is more efficient than the nobles in the royal capital, but it still delayed a lot of time."
"The kingdom belongs to the king, but its own territory belongs to it. The nobles of the feudal division must protect their own interests. Therefore, once they face events involving the entire kingdom, their efficiency will be particularly low," Gao Wen shook his head helplessly, "I had expected it long ago."
"It's really incomparable to that time..." Sonia sighed softly, "Fortunately, the girl named Victoria still has a little bit of the shadow of her ancestor."
"Victoria Wilder..." Gao Wen said softly, turning to Sonia, "What do you think of her?"
Sonia thought for a moment: "It's very hardworking, but it's also very tired. She hides it well, but can't hide it from me. She has good talents, not much different from Snow, but she is still not enough to deal with the situation in front of her. I can see that she is tired of dealing with this chaotic kingdom, and her real talent is completely overwhelmed by the endless shirk and internal friction."
"It hit the nail on the head."
"As an envoy of the Silver Empire, I shouldn't have commented too much on Ansu, but as a comrade-in-arms seven hundred years ago, I have nothing to be afraid of," Sonia said frankly, "We have contacted the prince in the East who claims to revive Ansu, and also contacted the nobles and dukes of the country who are loyal to the traditional royal family of Saint Sunil. To be honest, there are many capable leaders among them, but I doubt whether these leaders who are deeply trapped in the quagmire can really bring this country back on track. You are the one who has personally created the basic order of this kingdom. Are you content with the southern border and sit back and watch all this happen?"
This sentence is extremely sharp. A normal human politician would not ask such a question, but Gao Wen knew that the style of the elves had always been straightforward. He could emphasize that this was a private conversation before speaking out, which was already Sonia's greatest tactfulness.
The atmosphere at the scene was stiff for two seconds, and Gao Wencai smiled and shook his head gently: "You know there is a kind of tree near the Ancestor Peak, called Su Sheng Wood."
"...After a hundred years old, it will wither and become extremely dry and flammable. Just waiting for a wildfire, large areas of Susheng wood will turn into ashes, and the newly born young seedlings will sprout and grow in the pile of ashes..." Sonya said softly, "This takes a lot of risks."
"Survival is a risk in itself."
Gao Wen said calmly, and he raised his head and looked at the holographic image projected by the scroll-shaped magic device on the table.
In the holographic image, the structure of a part of the magnificent wall in southern Ansu is clearly presented, and in the translucent illustration, the two sentry towers are flashing with eye-catching blue light.
"Two sentinel towers need to be constructed at the same time, right?"
"Yes," Sonia nodded, "One is near southeastern Ansu, just south of the Dark Mountains, we want you to be responsible, and the other is southwest Ansu, and the Duke of Bedwin Franklin has confirmed that it will send a team to take charge of the tower, led by his nephew himself. Of course, both teams are nominally led and commanded by you."
"Will personnel and supplies be in place before the Frost Moon arrives?"
"The city of San Sunil and the East have made a promise that they will share the pressure on supplies, and the Duke of Berdevin Franklin will provide the manpower needed to repair the Southwest Tower," Sonia affirmed. "And the manpower needed on the Southwest Tower... I hope the manpower needed on the Southwest Tower is responsible."
"Of course, this is absolutely fine," Gao Wen agreed immediately, "If you can use your own staff, I will have less trouble."
What Sonia conveyed must be the plan reached after negotiations and compromises between the East and the Royal Family. In this plan, the East and the Royal Family were under material pressure, but only the Duke of the West was clearly revealed.
They want to maintain the scale of confrontation on the front line of the Holy Spirit Plain and maintain the number of reserve troops.
The western border is far away from the confrontation front and has no source of troops for this civil war. In addition, it is geographically close to the southwest tower, so people can naturally be produced.
“We hope to complete this project within two years for up to two years,” Sonia said. “It is best to complete it in one year. Because according to our records, magic surges in the wasteland will experience major ups and downs every two or three years. The last overload was caused by magic surges. To ensure safety, we must complete reinforcement before the next surge comes.”
Gao Wen said with a solemn look: "I believe everyone will do their best, after all, it is about their own life and death."
"I hope so."
After roughly talking about the Magnificent Wall, Sonia put away the magic device that stored technical information and handed it to Solderin on the side: "This information is left for you. Before the supplies and personnel are in place, your magician can study it first. One of the people I brought this time is a magician who has participated in the design of the "Sub-Tower" and "Pressure Relief Point". If you have any questions, you can ask him."
Govin nodded to Saldrin, then breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Sonia and asked in a casual tone: "To put it, Belsetia has been crowned for more than seven hundred years... It should have grown into a qualified queen, right?"
"Your Majesty is an excellent queen, and you should be surprised to see her again."
Gao Wen laughed: "I still only remember how she pulled me around the camp...Is she already sitting on the throne of the dominance?"
"That's the Queen's duty," Sonia said with a serious look. "His Majesty passed the test six hundred years ago and became the new master of the throne of the throne. She did a great job, and the Temple of Stars still sailed over the sky of the Silver Empire today."
"Is that sky temple that never touches the earth..." Gao Wen showed a look of memories, "I had the honor to go up once. When the countries signed an alliance, the temple sailed near the Ancestor Peak... That was probably the first time the Temple of Stars left the southern part of the continent, right?"
"Yes, it's the only time," Sonya said, unable to help but sigh in her eyes, "After that, the scope of activities of the temple was basically limited to the areas of the Silver Empire and the Kaoling Kingdom... and the recent overseas cruise has been further narrowed to the eastern part of the Kaoling Kingdom."
"You still haven't solved the problem of motivation aging?"
Seven hundred years ago, Gowen Cecil was closely related to the elves. Many situations about the Temple of Stars are not secrets here. Faced with Gowen's inquiry, Sonia just sighed: "We have tried to repair it once...but it has almost no effect."
"...that ancient system is said to be the creation of the primitive elves in ancient times. However, the civilization of the primitive elves has scattered with the differentiation of the elves and has long disappeared in history. The inheritance of the silver elves is the most complete of all elves, but it still cannot understand the entire mystery of the Temple of Stars..." Gao Wen's tone was filled with emotion, "I still remember how Belsetia looked when she first told me about these things."
Belsetia had just been crowned at that time. Although she was known as the Queen of Silver, she was almost carefree girl in her heart. Only when she mentioned the mystery of the Temple of Stars and the scattered civilizational heritage of the primitive elves, would she show her seriousness and sadness.
Gao Wen talked a lot with Sonia.
From the brief battle with each other seven hundred years ago to the establishment of a magnificent wall, from the ups and downs of the human kingdom over the centuries, to the development and changes of the Silver Empire over the past seven hundred years, even the long-lived elves could not help but sigh that the long time of this time was so many things that were different from those back then.
At the end, Gowen ended the conversation. He stood up and reached out to Sonia: "You have been working hard all the way, so let's take a break today. I will arrange for you to visit this city tomorrow. This city of Cecil should bring you a lot of surprises."
Sonia politely stood up with a smile on her face: "This city has brought us a lot of surprises, and even this land has opened our eyes and we have seen a lot of interesting things in the sky."
"You will have time to get to know slowly," said Gao Wen, and glanced at Saldrin next to you. "But before that, I left my time to you mother and son. After all, I haven't seen you for seven hundred years. You should have a lot to say."
On this relatively private occasion, Sonya couldn't help but glance at Saldrin: "I really don't know what to say to a son who has not known to go home for seven hundred years."
Saldrin looked embarrassed: "My mother, I... have a public office here..."
Sonia stared at the embarrassing high-level ranger: "Have you been in a public office for the past seven hundred years?"
Saldrin: “…”
The high-level ranger looked at Gao Wen a little embarrassedly, his eyes full of help. Gao Wen immediately understood the meaning of his old friend's eyes and spoke to Sonia: "Then I won't disturb you from communicating your relationship. Ms. Sonia, see you tomorrow."
After saying this, Gao Wen led his men to the door.
Walking outside the living room, after the door was closed, Gao Wen was still listening to the movements in the room with his ears erect. Sonya Shuangye faintly scolded him: "...It would be fine if he didn't go home for seven hundred years, but he even had so little communication. Now, even the communication chain of the Sentinel Tower was broken...
"...Isn't it just a matter of hair? Who is this despicable temper?
"Do you have a girl you like...not yet?! Do you know that xxx in Fenggu City even has children!!
"What does it mean to follow Duke Cecil to fight for his career! What's wrong with Duke Cecil not getting married? Look at him, he has dozens of great-grandsons!!"
Gao Wen in the corridor silently retracted his attention to the room, while Rebecca, who was beside him, couldn't help but come over: "Ancestors! How did you know that Ms. Sonia? She is really Mr. Soldering's mother? She looks so young!!"
This girl has been holding back all the way, and now she has a chance to balabala.
"The age of the elves can never be judged by appearance. Their growth and aging cycles are different from that of humans," Gao Wen said casually. "As for how they met Sonia... she was the messenger of the Silver Empire at that time, responsible for contacting the Silver Empire and various pioneering forces. Because of the turbulent situation, we also fought side by side."
Hetty on the other side couldn't help but sigh: "The love of comrades..."
To be honest, at this moment, the butler of Cecil accidentally thought of the book "The Story of the Heroes and Princesses of the Gowen Cecil Rhyme" she collected and produced countless uneven associations.
To be honest, Gao Wen guessed what kind of association was in his mind when he saw Hetty's expression change.
He thought about it and decided to do something to divert Hetty's attention
"Hetty..."
Hetty was shocked: "Ah? Please speak for your ancestor!"
"Have you ever thought about getting married?"
"ah?!"
"In fact, it is not that important to convert to the gods and give up the right of inheritance. You are not young at this age..."
"Ancestor, wait a moment! I..."
"You don't have to be nervous, I'll just ask, but if you have any ideas..."
