Sword of Daybreaker

A small mechanical landing craft was dropped from the Bitter Winter, over the calm and clear sea like a mirror, and steadily docked at the foot of the "giant tower" that seemed to penetrate the planet's atmosphere, and explored Kashan on the steel island for a long time. Della came to respond. After securing the landing craft, Byron and Ashalena led a loyal Marine Corps soldiers to board this planet, which has been standing on this planet for 1.8 million years. Ancient ruins.

The gentle and weak sea breeze blows from a distance, bringing exceptionally fresh air. The giant sun has deviated from the high point of the sky, and the slanting sunlight is no longer as hot and deadly as it is at noon. The golden-red brilliant light shines on the giant tower in front of you. , Let it cast a spectacular shadow on the distant sea, and at the edge of the steel island, Byron saw the accumulation of mineral deposits, algae siltation and many other things that belonged to the sea. Traces of vitality.

He raised his head and looked hard at the top of the tower. Of course, just like the observations from all angles before, he couldn’t see where the top of the tower was. He could only see a huge silver-gray pillar. In the setting sun, straight into the sky, and gradually become a slender black line at the end of the field of vision, the end of which is hidden at the end of the sky like a bridge hanging from the heaven.

   "How did this thing stand up here?" A Marine Corps soldier couldn't help but muttered, his voice under his visor sounded a little dull, "Is it really going to fall down?"

"Who knows? The stuff left by the sailor..." Another Marine Corps soldier also muttered, "They can still build a spacecraft to patrol between the kingdoms of God. It is said that it is better than the Earthly Dawn. It's quite a few laps..."

Byron heard the astonished conversation of the soldiers behind him, but he ignored it. Instead, he asked Cassandra to lead the way. Soon they passed through the proven safe area and arrived. That piece is in front of the open square at the bottom of the tower.

"I suspect that this is the entrance of the tower. The gate structure was found nearby, and there is also a place for vehicles and people to gather, but we have not had time to continue exploring," Kassandra was surrounded by the weakening of the sun. The water vapor is a little thinner than before, which makes her look as if she is free from the danger of becoming dried salted fish. "In addition, while waiting for you to come, my sisters and I also found more latecomers around the square. Traces', that should have been left by the original elves who fled here in those days. The traces left by the elves are not as immortal as the creations of the sailors. There are many things that have been mottled and weathered and cannot be seen. ."

Byron nodded with a serious expression, his gaze fell on the metal plate engraved with ancient elves on the edge of the square. Although he could not read a word, he still held it well in front of the Marines. Well-informed, the general is well-informed, and the general is steady." The brilliant image: "Putting a message near the entrance to warn latecomers... is a very reasonable idea."

Of course Ashalena knew that this guy who knew nothing about the ancient elves was supporting the front, but she was not interested in dismantling this platform, but went up and read the text on the metal plate again seriously, and this time After closer inspection, she found a detail that she could not find on the remote image before.

  "The material of this metal plate...is different from the surrounding things, but it's not the copper-based mithril alloy commonly used by the elves of this age..."

"This may be brought by the elves from their hometown," Byron said, touching his chin. "The original elves had much more advanced technology than the current Silver Empire, and the Temple of Stars was what they brought to the continent of Loren.' The origin of this alloy must be similar. After the split and degradation, they lost a lot of technology and suffered a serious group memory cleaning. If you think about it, there is no way to smelt this advanced material brought from their hometown. ."

  Speaking of this, he pondered for a while, observing the metal plate erected on the square like a monument: "Can this thing be cut off?"

"Yes," Cassandra nodded immediately. "The material of this'island' is hard and scary, but this metal plate is not difficult to deal with. It is cast in a groove on the ground. Your magic The kind of engineering cutter used by the instructor should be able to dig it out of the base... Are you going to get it down?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, Ashalena next to Byron also gave Byron a surprised look: "What do you want this thing for?"

"Dig back and let Bitter Winter send another group of engineers down," Byron nodded, and gestured to the bottom of the "monument." Send it to the Silver Empire and make a nicer box or something. In your Majesty’s words, this thing can at least gain a reputation of +100..."

"Calm down! God TM pulled down the monument of the ancestors and put it in a box and gave it to the victim for prestige." Ashalena was shocked, staring loudly and shocked Byron's whimsical ideas. I went back, "Do you know that the moment you took this thing into the Silver Empire even if you got it and got it?"

No one in the Imperial Fleet dared to yell at the Admiral, except for a female dragon who followed the Admiral to chop people and brag in the South for decades. Ashalena’s loud voice made Byron feel buzzing. He trembled, and finally realized that it seemed a little improper to do so. Not all "lost items" are suitable to be dug back and returned to the parties. The "monument" in front of me is not only a relic of the original elves, but also a civilization. The more significant meaning may be as a "evidence and remembrance that exists here." Perhaps in the near future, when the world is safe, the Silver Elves will come here just like today's Bitter Winter. At that time, this place will be here. This monument will be a crucial "coordinate point" in their history and culture...

This truth is actually very simple to think about. It's like there is a peak in the world. No one has ever successfully climbed to the top, but one day a certain hunk will complete this feat and hang his family emblem on it. The process was just an accident. Then you turned your face and took this historic logo off and sent it to the family of the descendants: "Excuse me, I picked up such a thing on the road. Did your family lose it?"

  Byron put himself in and thought about it, thinking that he might give that person a jump, full of anger and piercing armor.

"Forget it, turn around and tell your Majesty about it, and see how he plans to negotiate with the Silver Empire," Byron scratched his messy hair, turned his head to look at the towering arc metal barrier not far away." ...Next, let's go in and see the situation."

   "Are you sure you want to go in?" Ashalena slightly frowned and glanced at the gate that looked like an entrance in the distance, "I always think this thing is terribly evil..."

"I came here to take a look," Byron apparently made up his mind. "We have lost our way to this point. It was all luck to find this tower. The legacy of the sailor is of great significance to the empire, Your Majesty. We are also very concerned about this aspect. We should at least bring some valuable information back. This is at least an explanation for the empire. Of course, we will not delay here for too long. The naga navigator and the sea staying on the Bitter Winter The demons are recalibrating the route, we will drive back when they find the direction of the mainland, and we really should be a little cautious before entering that'tower', so..."

   As he said, he looked up at Ms. Cassandra, who was carefully weaving her tail into a bow-knot shape next to her: "Ms. Cassandra, you should go through the door and take a look first."

   Cassandra immediately lowered her tail and smiled confidently: “Of course it’s okay. We’ll just wait for this and this, sisters, let’s go!”

The three siren quickly left the team. Watched by Byron and others, they passed through the open square and the wide ramp leading to the end of the square. The road seemed to be able to hold seven or eight heavy tanks. The alloy gates that passed side by side stood at the end of the ramp, and the three figures of Cassandra, who were slightly open in the middle, disappeared in the crack of the door.

   Passed through the wide and indescribable gate, and through an equally wide but not long connecting passage, the scene inside the tower finally appeared before the eyes of the three Sea-Monster explorers.

The light is bright and the dust is not stained. Some kind of ancient purification device or blocking device seems to block all the dust from the outside. What appears in front of Kassandra is a piece of unimaginable history that has gone through 1.8 million years. Neat and bright rotunda.

Unlike the hall on the first floor of the tower in Tarrond, there are not many operating equipment and no busy central ducts. The huge hall is almost completely empty, with only one passing through in the center. The silver-white metal pipes on the floor and roof seem to be almost the size of a castle tower in diameter, and in the air around the metal pipes, there are several sets of holographic images floating on them, showing only a patch of interference noise.

  There is no danger, no ancient equipment is activated and no wall suddenly emits light.

  Cassandra took her two sisters around the whole hall, and finally determined that this place was quite safe. Just like the “monument” mentioned on the square, the first floor of the hall is not dangerous.

  After confirming safety, Byron and others who were waiting outside finally walked into this ancient place.

"...No matter how many times I look at it, the things left by the sailors are still so amazing." Looking around this place that has been clean and bright after millions of years, and looks almost new and intact, Byron couldn't help sighing. "Did the original elves of the year gather in this place and make a big death..."

"We didn't find that there were no access stairs or gates to the upper floors," Cassandra said next to him. "Everything has been checked, except for the metal pipe in the middle of the hall...or the metal column. That thing is obviously still there. Running, I didn't dare to touch it, but my sister and I circled around it twice, but it didn't cause any alarm."

   "It's a good thing to be more cautious," Byron nodded, and walked a few steps toward the silver-white metal pipe in the middle of the hall. "It's okay to simply approach, right..."

Before he finished his words, an exciting "beep" sound suddenly came from all directions. With the short sound of the warning sign, a mechanically synthesized voice was directly in the hearts of everyone in the hall. When it rang, the voice sounded as if it was directly injecting information into everyone's mind: "Warning, the cross-border conditions are not met. Visitors, please step back."

  Byron was stunned for a moment, got up in a cold sweat, and quickly backed back in the next second.

  The alarm did not continue to sound, and the synthetic voice in my mind did not continue.

  "Did you hear the alarm just now? Or did I hear it?" Byron looked at Cassandra in astonishment. "Didn't you say that it was okay after approaching?"

"We heard, but our sister was really fine when we got closer!" Cassandra also widened her eyes in surprise, and then, as if to verify, she immediately wagged her tail and wriggled towards the center of the hall for several steps, confirming The system here returned after no response, "Look, it's okay."

  Ashalena frowned and looked at the scene before her, and suddenly said, "I will try it too."

  Speaking, she did not wait for Byron to speak before stepping towards the place where the latter stood just now, and under the vigilant and cautious gaze of the surrounding eyes, nothing happened.

  The warning did not sound.

"...I'm being targeted?" Byron frowned, and glanced back at the Marines he had brought. "Others come over and try but don't go too far. After being warned, step back immediately without warning. Don't stand in front for too long."

  "...Should we not count as a deadly death like the original elves back then?" Cassandra on the side said to Ashalena a little worried.

"I don't think it counts," Ashalena whispered while watching a Marine Corps soldier walk forward. "Judging from the message on that monument, the original elves of the year were still arrogantly trying after being warned. It's only when the system is cracked and the upper restricted area is broken. Let's just be careful not to follow this warning..."

  "Warning, the out-of-bounds conditions are not met. Visitors, please go back."

  The voice that sounded in everyone's mind interrupted the conversation between Cassandra and Ashalena, and the Marine soldier who had boldly stepped forward quickly retreated.

  The hall was quiet, and everyone looked at each other. After a brief moment of looking at each other, a sea monster brought by Kassandra finally couldn’t help breaking the silence: "What's the matter?"

"...It seems that this is the'authentication mechanism' mentioned by the original wizard in the message," Byron frowned. Although he is usually a careless person, his ability to judge at this time is still online. "The original original All the elves seem to be blocked by this authentication mechanism, and most of us cannot pass the'screening conditions' of this thing, but the strange thing is..."

  His eyes fell on Kassandra, Ashalena and others.

   "Why didn't you trigger the warning?"

  Three sea monsters and a giant dragon looked at each other with a blank face.

  Byron frowned, thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the Marines he had brought.

   "Everyone, come forward and test it again!"

  The test didn’t take long, and dozens of Marines took less than ten minutes in total, and during these ten minutes, the warning sound of "not meeting the cross-border conditions" was almost uninterrupted.

  Except for Athalena and the three Krakens, everyone here was warned by the sailor system when they tried to get close to the metal column in the middle of the hall!
