To be honest, when he saw the handwriting on the desktop, Gao Wen was not as calm as he showed - although he said a few minutes ago that the Magic Goddess had to thank him, he really didn't expect that the other party would actually thank him...

Is this the "character" of the magic goddess? It feels like there is really a big difference from Amoen or Naretiel Duvalter...

But even though there were a lot of messy thoughts in his mind, he still controlled the changes in his expression very well. After all, there were several people in the room, so he still had to maintain his majestic personality in such occasions.

"Ancestor," Hetty noticed Gao Wen's movements on the desk and couldn't help asking curiously, "What happened...ah? What's wrong with the desk?"

Gao Wen looked down at the desktop. The newly replaced desk was first carved by the magic goddess, and then he wiped it off. A big pit was already left in the middle. The desk used by the emperor seemed to be extremely impressive. This made him feel a little regretful: "Just...there were mosquitos just now."

The three great consuls present were stunned: "..."

This is obviously not easy to believe, but since the ancestor/His Majesty the Emperor said that there are mosquitoes...that is, there are really mosquitoes.

"Ahem, go back and put this table..." Gao Wen coughed twice, wanting to end this awkward topic as soon as possible, "Well, change this table."

"It's...ancestors," Hetty nodded, and then followed the meaning of Gao Wen to quickly end the current topic, "That's your plan to go to Tallond..."

"This is exactly what I want to say," Gao Wen nodded immediately and continued Hedy's words. "According to the previous agreement with Tallond's 'representative', I almost should leave after the magic goddess' 'divine burial' is over. Of course, it is not immediately. We can prepare, but after all, it is something that has been promised, and I don't plan to delay too much."

"You really decided to go to that... mysterious Tallond?" Although Bodwin knew that this was a decided thing, he still couldn't help asking more questions.

"Don't be so nervous - Tallond is not a god's realm or hell. It's just another country on this planet," Gao Wen said slowly. "The dragon clan is indeed a mysterious race, but they are also a civilization that can be communicated. We can formally establish diplomatic relations with the Holy Dragon Principality, so it is the right mentality to regard Tallond as a 'country'."

Standing next to her, Victoria, who had no expression on her face, broke the silence: "In the northern border, there have been many legends about 'dragons' since ancient times. Although most of them are nonsense, the legend itself can reflect a lot of information - the dragon is a race that is mysterious but has always been in the Loren continent and has been active in the boundaries of human civilization's sight. They have mysterious purposes, and we know nothing about it... Your trip to Tallond may help humans understand what those dragons really want to do, but you must also be prepared to face risks."

"Of course," Gao Wen nodded slightly, then looked at Victoria's eyes that were as clear and indifferent as ice crystals. "For this trip to Tallond, the imperial domestic affairs have basically been arranged. I believe you will handle daily state affairs in the day I leave temporarily, and in addition... I have a special task to you."

Victoria immediately stood up straight, a trace of solemnity appeared on her face: "Please give me instructions."

"Don't be so nervous," Gao Wen waved his hand. "I just hope you make sure that all Magic Net Hub Towers in the North are in the best condition and adjust all the crystal arrays located on the North Coast to listen to signals from the North Pole with the highest sensitivity - at the same time, I will also bring a set of the most advanced Magic Net terminals to keep in touch with the North Coast."

"You are going to maintain your connection with the empire in this way?" Victoria frowned slightly, "...I am frank, this should not be feasible, it completely exceeds the communication distance of the existing Magic Net Hub, and there is also very strong interference on the vast ocean, not to mention there is a storm in the middle..."

"Of course I know," Gao Wen interrupted the other party. "I want to take this opportunity to collect data on magic network hubs and magic interference in the ocean area, especially the latter. This part of the data is very useful and is something we are in urgent need now. The near-shore navigation route to Mosswood Forest in Beigang has begun trial operation, but the collection of far-sea data is progressing slowly. It is difficult for our existing technology to collect magic parameters outside the Violet Strait - just right, this time the Dragon Clan provides us with a 'hurry'."

"So that's it... Then I understand," Victoria lowered her head, "I will do what you told me."

"Well. As for my contact with the country, you don't have to worry about this," Gao Wen nodded, and continued, "The dragon clan has the technology to maintain communication across the endless sea. I will leave a 'Misinian Ring', which will be kept by Heti at that time. If there are special circumstances, use it to contact me."

Then he discussed some preparation details with Hedy and the other three, and it was the last time to confirm the arrangements for domestic affairs before leaving. After the discussion came to an end, Hedy let out a sigh of relief and shook his head helplessly: "No matter how you arrange it, I always feel that you are a hasty trip..."

Gao Wen smiled: "It's true, but there will be no many things in the world that can develop as we expect."

Hetty nodded helplessly, but soon asked like an overly worried butler: "Then the entourage who traveled this time... are you really sure you only bring Amber and Veronica?"

"Did I take the entire Imperial Guard to 'visit'?" Gao Wen looked at Hetty helplessly, who was obviously a little too nervous, "I was invited to visit Tallond, not to attack the Dragon Kingdom or to explore the Dragon Cave in the past. Too many entourages cannot come in handy, so bringing Amber and Veronica with you is enough - Amber is smart and good at surveillance, while Veronica knows more about God's affairs, which is just right for me."

Hetty thought for a moment, and finally lowered his head and said, "Since this is what you mean..."

"We can stop talking about this," Gao Wen waved his hand, and then his face became serious. "A report came from Solinburg today, and I plan to discuss it with you."

"Solinburg?" Herty showed a puzzled look, but almost instantly she reacted and a little guess came out, "Is it about the mysterious signal I heard before?"

"That's right - that mysterious signal," Gao Wen looked serious and reached out to extract a copy from some sort of papers beside him. "Many scholars in the fields of cryptography and writing have been studying for a long time but have not been able to find clues from those tremors of unknown significance. However, Belltila took a different approach, and she seemed to have found some pattern from those tremors..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three great consuls at the scene leaned over, and even Victoria, who had almost no expression, had a look of curiosity faintly appeared on her face. Obviously, there were more than those experts and scholars who were hooked by the mysterious signal.

Gao Wen did not deliberately make people happy. He simply unfolded the sorted document, pulled out the most important page from the clip, turned the direction and placed it on the table, and pushed it to Hetty and others.

"What is this?" Bedvin Franklin looked at the contents on the paper in confusion. In his sight was a strange picture, which looked like a square composed of a series of small dots. Next to the square was a short slash line that seemed to have not been finished - the line was also composed of a series of small dots. In the blank position next to the picture, some tremor ripples can be seen, marked with explanations such as tremor periods and tremor categories.

Not only Bedevin, but Hetty and Victoria were obviously also confused after seeing this thing.

"This is what Belltila ‘restored’ from those signals, an incomplete picture," Gao Wen said, briefly explaining the “technical idea” mentioned in the document. "She directly converted the tremor into a picture, using a 'interpretation rule' that no one had ever thought of. She regarded the tremor and the white noise as dots and blanks, respectively, and outlined it with the clock order of the signal itself..."

Belltila's method is actually not complicated. The people on the scene are smart people who are good at mathematical and technological derivation (except Amber who is standing next to the window and wandering outside the sky). Therefore, Gao Wen only explained a few simple words, and the three great consuls fully understood the connection between this picture and that mysterious signal.

Hetty couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at the picture with an incredible look: "It's... so simple? The essence of this signal is actually a picture?"

"It's incredible, but this is probably the truth," said Bedevin, thinking, "It's impossible to get such a neat picture by random testing. The perfect form of this square shows that Bell Tira's idea is correct - there is a picture hidden in the signal, which is really... interesting."

"But what is the meaning of this painting?" Herty frowned. "Who did this again?"

"It is obviously not complete, and there are lines that are not outlined next to it. Belltila believes that we have only received a small piece of content from the complete signal, and believes that the signals we received several times should be different 'paragraphs' - it's a pity that the two signals before were not clear enough or were not recorded in time, so the samples she can use for analysis are the only content she received on the 32nd of this month," Gao Wen said casually, "and based on the things currently recorded and analyzed, Belltila speculates that the complete form of this picture may be some kind of design drawing... Of course, this guess is only for reference, and there are too many subjective conjectures."

"The drawings...although subjective assumptions, this statement is really attractive," Berdevin shook his head. "In short, no matter what this thing is, it is obviously from the hands of intelligent creatures... To send such a signal, the sender must have a purpose. The other party wants to convey some information to us... or to any unspecified target, a target with the ability to collect and translate this information..."

"That's what I think," Gao Wen said. "I think this signal is most likely to be uninterrupted 'broadcast'. It continues and continues to publish this 'draw'. The reason why we occasionally receive some of the clips is because our Magic Web Crystal Array is not specifically used to receive this thing - it's all just coincidences.

"That's what I'm going to tell you: we need to find a way to recreate this 'coincidence' steadily.

"These signals are unusual, and I believe you can feel this. Whether for academic research or to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Magic Network communication system, we must investigate the secrets behind these signals. For this reason, I plan to list the capture, tracking and research of these signals as a formal and long-term project, and carry out planned and continuous listening within the scope that Magic Network can cover.

“This project is called the ‘listening’ plan.

"So far, we don't know where to start, so I asked Belltila to find out all the operating parameters of the signal when the main Solin hub captured the signal, as well as the weather, magnetic field, magic environment and other data at that time. There may be many "coincidence factors" that caused the main Solin hub to receive the signal. It may be related to the orientation or combination mode of the crystal array at that time, it may be related to the working status of the magic network in the Solin area at that time, and even the weather and wind direction at that time. Since we don't know which data is useful, we can only record it all and try it all.

"Without affecting the daily operation of the Empire Magic Network, we will adjust the hubs and nodes that are left to the operating state of "Sorin Standard Parameters" as close as possible to the "Sorin Standard Parameters". Let's see if we can hear anything. Even if we don't find anything at that time, we at least conducted some running tests on the entire Magic Network."

As Gao Wen said, he looked at Victoria who was listening carefully.

"Victoria, the North is the key test area - because the first abnormal signal was received at Winter Fort. Although you only received it once and the signal status is extremely poor, we still have reason to suspect that the environment of Winter Fort might be suitable for listening to this abnormal signal, so you should pay more attention to this matter."

Victoria immediately received the order: "Yes, your Majesty."

Gao Wen nodded, he exhaled, his eyes swept through the three people in front of the desk one by one. Then he reached out and took out three identical documents from the drawer under the desk and placed them in front of Hedy and others.

"This is a copy of the Solinburg report, which also includes more details of the 'listening plan' and the 'standard parameters' compiled by Bell Tira. You can call technicians to take a look when you go back. During the time when I am temporarily away, you will start preparing for this plan.

"Then let's talk about this today. If there is nothing else, let's do your own things.

"The main process of 'Divine Burial' has ended, but there is still a lot of finishing work before the sun sets, so this aspect is left to Heti."

The three great consuls took the order and turned around and left, but when Victoria was about to walk out of the room, Gao Wen suddenly stopped her again.
Chapter completed!
