Sword of Daybreaker

In Cecil City, the setting sun has fallen below the horizon, and only a little brilliant golden red light permeates from the other side of the mountain. After an emergency document was served, Gao Wen didn't have much time to appreciate the magnificent scenery outside the window. He arranged for Amber to help with some less important tasks, and then directly sat down in the easy chair in the study, and concentrated again. Get up and communicate with the monitoring system of Cangqiong Station.

After confirming the position of the expeditionary fleet, he did not tell others about it for the time being. Instead, he always maintained the shallow connection between himself and the Sky Station, paying attention to the movement of Byron, and as long as he had time. It will enter the deep link state and use the optical sensor of the space station to directly confirm the situation of the Bitter Winter.

In the past period of time, the Bitter Winter and its fleet have been moored near the sea platform of the rail elevator, and it seems that there is no major movement, and the system of Cangqiang Station has not heard any new movement after that, but Gao Wen knew that Byron must still be exploring the orbital elevator platform. He was not a person who would stop and waste time in a calm sea.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Byron's exploration operation should not have caused the "excessive reaction" of the sailor's legacy, at least the fleet has not been attacked, and Gawain has not received an intrusion warning from the system.

"...Fortunately, it is Byron, not Rebecca, who leads the fleet." While keeping in touch with Sky Station, Gawain couldn't help muttering in his heart, "If the iron-headed baby passes by, I'm afraid it will be a big death. Whenever you encounter a door that cannot be opened, rub a fireball the size of a city gate and hit it over or something..."

Just halfway through his mind, an abrupt voice suddenly broke into his mind: "The visitor arrived at the Sky Station, and the guidance process could not be activated. The interactive medium was activated, and it was transferred to the standby process..."

Gawain was stunned for a moment. As soon as the thought of "what?" came up in his mind, he felt that a brand-new flow of information had suddenly appeared deep in his consciousness. The flow of information was complex, huge, and unfamiliar, but almost turned. In an instant, he was smoothly integrated into the original connection line between him and the Sky Station. His consciousness was guided forward in the dark, and suddenly he saw new colors and light appearing in the "view", connecting with space facilities in the past few years. The “limited bandwidth” of the time seemed to have been broadened a lot at once. The consternation in Gawain's heart lasted only a few seconds, and he “seeed” the colors and light that emerged in his mind quickly stabilized, forming a clear picture. :

In a dark space, he saw a lady with long black hair and tears in the corners of her eyes approaching abruptly, with a nervous look on her face, carefully looking at the direction of Gawain’s perspective. , Pointed with his finger again, and a slightly distorted voice came into his mind: "...Ashalena, come and see this... It's bright, hey, bright! I just poked it and it suddenly lit up. !What should we do now?"

"What the hell?!" Gao Wen was shocked when he saw that face appeared. He was shocked on the spot. He had been a satellite spirit for so many years, but it was the first time he saw "outsiders" in the system connection state. It feels like an old driver who has driven a hearse for 20 years. Suddenly one day the passengers in his compartment got up and patted his shoulder. The shock during the period may make Ruibe so nervous that he can be described as "downright". Kadu's heart and lungs stopped, and it took more than ten seconds for Gawain to finally react, and finally recognized the figure that appeared in front of him.

This is Kassandra, the chief navigator of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, an ally from the deep sea. She and Byron set off from Northport together. In theory, she should be on the Bitter Winter now. Why would she be here? !

Gawain’s shocked heart finally calmed down, and gradually adapted to this “new perspective” that had just appeared deep in his consciousness. He noticed that he seemed to be connected to a device with a camera, while in Kashan Around Della's figure, he also saw a space shrouded in dim light, although the viewing angle was limited and the light was dim, but it was still enough to judge that it was definitely not somewhere on the Bitter Winter.

He suddenly thought of the voice that had just sounded in his mind: The visitor arrived at the Sky Station, and the interactive medium was activated.

His mood became awkward, very, very awkward.

While Gawain’s heart was full of slumbering sounds, Cassandra in the camera was not idle. The Siren lady seemed to confirm that the equipment that suddenly lit up in front of her was not dangerous. It was unique to the Kraken race. The adventurous spirit quickly gained the upper hand. She poked the tip of her tail around the lens, seeming to be testing the interaction method of the device in front of her, and then another figure appeared in Gawain’s field of vision, which was red. The dragon-printed witch Asharena, the dragonborn lady first watched Cassandra poking and poking with a horrified face, and then she couldn't help but watch with curiosity while reminding her to be safe. Toward the direction of Gawain (the lens).

The conversation between the two came to Gawain's mind. First of all, Athalena's voice: "...you be careful! Don't accidentally activate the weapon system or something, we are intruders..."

"We are not intruders. We are the'visitors' who entered this space station according to the legal process. Didn't you hear the announcement in the orbital elevator before?" Cassandra said with a reasonable point, "and this kind of facility How can there be a weapon system that can be activated at every disagreement, especially in this traffic port for visitors, at most, my operations were blocked as illegal visits. Hey, don’t worry, we sea monsters built spaceships, I'm very stable..."

Ashalena seemed to be persuaded, and her attention was focused on the device that had just started operating: "...what do you think this is?"

"It should be an operating terminal, but I don't know what it is for, or it may be a port query device. After all, it is located near the elevator entrance," Cassandra said. "Theoretically, there should be something here that actively guides us. That's right, but the corresponding system is obviously broken, and the terminal doesn't respond to anything..."

"We could still hear the broadcast when we got up on that'orbital elevator'... Maybe the ground part and the space part of this set of things operate separately?"

"It is possible that we built something similar a long, long time ago. Of course it is not as exaggerated as this ring, but at that time the space station and ground station we built in the home world were operated separately..."

Gawain listened carefully to the conversation between the two ladies. Gradually, he finally figured out what happened, how they got up, and what they did after they got up. Knowing that they activated this "operation". Terminal" process.

It sounds like Kassandra's "Poke Poke" accidentally activated an interactive terminal in the Sky Station, and then the interactive terminal automatically pointed the data stream to the current "only authority" of the ring orbit space station, that is, myself. Here.

If that's the case... Gawain suddenly and unstoppable some bold ideas popped up in his mind, some... ideas that helped him further understand himself and the legacy of the sailors in space.

He quickly became acquainted with the new connection established in his mind, groping for the control method of this little "operating terminal", and searching for the available parts in the limited new information that poured into his mind, and tossed for a long time. After time, he was finally ready, and opened the interactive module of the operating terminal through the system background, and said to the two explorers far away in space: "Please follow the process to perform the following operations..."

Cassandra, who was leaning in front of the camera to study how to operate, jumped out in an instant, her long tail stretched into a spring at that instant, and "Bang" made her pop out more than ten meters!

"Talk about... talk! This thing talks!" Cassander stretched his fingers to the operating terminal that suddenly made a sound and exclaimed, the boss staring, and of course Ashalena next to her was also frightened. After a jump, she withdrew several steps back on the spot, but she was not surprised like the Siren. After the shock and momentary tension, she seemed to react suddenly: "Wait, Cassandra, Do you think this sound...a bit familiar?"

Cassandra: "...?"

Gao Wen: "...?!"

Was the acoustic processing function of this thing broken? ! Or is there something wrong with the operation method of temporary access? How can this be heard as soon as you speak!

The unexpected small situation made Gawain a bit dumbfounded for a moment, and Cassandra on the other side of the camera was not just dumbfounded after reacting. She leaned in shock quickly, staring at the machine in front of her while following. Ashalena next to him said: "I can hear it. It is the voice of His Majesty Gawain. For sure, Siren will not misheard the voice! But what about..."

Ashalena's gaze fell on the terminal that was glowing with faint fluorescence and constantly changing geometric figures projected from the sky. No one knew what she was thinking in those few seconds, and she finally broke the silence: "Your Majesty Gao Wen, are you talking?"

Gao Wen calmed down quickly. The small accident did not affect him for too long. Although he originally wanted to hide himself, pretending to be the ancient control system in the space station to guide the two ladies to try to activate and repair some systems in the cabin. But now that the situation has changed, it doesn't make sense to continue to force this operation. It will make Cassandra and the others more suspicious and affect cooperation. It is better to directly planB.

"It's me." Gawain said quietly and lowly.

He admitted his existence, and this may be a good thing. In this way, Ashalena and Cassandra may work together more smoothly. After all, they are facing an unclear ancient operating system. There may be more worries when booting, and if you pretend to be an operating system, it is difficult for Gawain to use a reasonable reason to guide them to "please poke the big red button next to it to see if it lights up" or "please take a look. What is written on the street sign next to it"...

And if the reason is right, publicizing your existence in front of Kassandra and Athalena may instead create a deeper image of an ally in the two groups of Dragonborn and Kraken, and the benefits are greater than the risks.

"Really you?!" After hearing the affirmative reply from the operation terminal, Ashalena's eyes widened in an instant, "But...what are you..."

"You should know that seven hundred years ago, I once climbed a sailing tower," Gawain said in a calm and indifferent tone, "this is no secret now."

"Ah, I know," Cassandra nodded immediately. "It was the way my sisters gave you back then..."

While talking, she slowly widened her eyes: "So, didn't you..."

"That exploration has brought me not only an immortal soul and a resurrection after seven hundred years," Gao Wen responded, "I have established an inseparable connection with the legacy of the sailor. This connection is more than the world's The imagination is much deeper."

Ashalena opened her mouth wide in surprise.

There is a certain connection between the ruler of the Cecil Empire, the pioneering hero of mankind Gawain Cecil and the legacy of the sailors. This is not a secret among the upper-level members of Tarrond, the Holy Dragon Duchy and many confederate nations. , When he first explored the tower near Tarrond and found the sentinel’s homeport in the depths of God’s Domain, Gao Wen had identified those ancient characters that only a few dragons knew about the sailor, so a few insiders were It is believed that Gawain Cecil entered the "high tower" during that mysterious expedition to the sea 700 years ago and gained some knowledge related to the sailors, and this is the biggest they can imagine between the two. connect.

But now Ashalena knows that this "connection" is far from being as simple as it seems.

She took a breath and looked around this empty and dim hall subconsciously. Looking at the ancient equipment that kept silent under dim lights, she thought of what she had seen in the observation cabin of the rail elevator. The magnificent ring belt and the orbiting space buildings near the ring belt, a trembling sense of sudden contact with huge secrets and understanding of the truth of history floated in my heart, making her voice a little bit when she spoke again. Unnatural: "So, you have been..."

"For the past many years, I have been overlooking the world," Gawain told the truth, but his "many years" must be very different from what Ashalena imagined. "I have told the world Said that after my death in the war, my soul floated among the stars and wandered above the world. This is a fact, but the real fact is a little bit different from the world’s understanding."

"So... your body is still on the ground, but your consciousness can be projected here, and you can talk to us through the equipment in this space station..." Cassandra on the side also reacted. After confirming that he was an acquaintance, The guts of the sea-monster became obvious again, and she leaned in front of the camera and asked curiously, "You can see us too? Then can you see the fleet parked near the elevator base? Outside? Are you controlling those satellites and space stations?"

"I can see you, and I can see the Bitter Winter. I can see many things, but not everything is under my control. This group of ancient space facilities has gone through too long, their state It's not very good," Gawain seemed to have a little smile in his tone, "So, now I just need your help to do something..."
