Sword of Daybreaker

The **** on the Holy See opened his eyes suddenly, with awesome momentum in the golden vertical pupil.

The dragon priests waiting near the throne prostrate almost immediately, paying tribute to the gods they serve, and the highest-ranking priest, the nearest priest, is no exception.

A moment later, the dragon priests heard the voice of the gods from above, and seemed to sigh with a slight sigh: "And only he can do this ..."

"My Lord?" Heragore carefully raised his head and looked at the Dragon God above, "What happened?"

"You don't have to care," Enya, the dragon god, glanced indifferently at the shivering priests in the temple. The tone sounded without fluctuation, "It has nothing to do with the dragon."

...

The howling came suddenly.

With this unexplained scream, all the equipment in the hall showed obvious anomalies. The magic network terminal began to project various strange lines and patterns that are difficult for humans to understand. Call signals from all parts of the empire were instantly crowded It became a mess and became a mess, the energy supply system also went wrong, and the lighting began to flicker violently-all this, like an invisible storm suddenly swept the entire magic net, making this huge system roll up There was a stormy sea.

The staff in the hall was caught in a brief panic and tension.

But the panic only lasted less than two seconds-Gao Wen had reacted after a moment of stunnedness, he suddenly got up, and the halo effect that can appease the spirits began to follow. The person returned to the most calm state, and at the same time Rebecca's voice also came from the front of the hall: "Keep calm-the systems start self-check immediately!"

Immediately thereafter, Carmel's voice also sounded: "Confirm the building's power ridge first-is there a problem with energy?"

The piercing howling still continued. The technicians shielded this part of the disturbing factors under the protection of the Knight Aura. They began to check all the systems nervously and quickly according to the plan and everyone ’s experience, and soon there was a report. Successively came from all over the hall: "The power ridge is still running, and the main system is not offline ..." "A few buffer units and safety barriers have been broken down, but the equipment in the rear is okay." The Empire Hub establishes contact ... "

The Empire Hub is a magic net hub tower located in the city of Cecil, and also the highest node of all "main hubs". When the howling suddenly sounded, some powerful energy surge affected its operation. Now it has been Temporarily offline.

"Is the internal channel still usable?" Gao Wen left the seat and walked to Rebecca's side, while patting the latter's shoulder lightly. "Look at the situation outside."

Rebecca apparently panicked a bit, but when Gavin's hand was pressed on her shoulder, she suddenly calmed down.

"The internal channel and the main network are isolated. Let me take a look ..." she said quickly, and she was extremely skillful in controlling the rune "palette" in front of her. After a while, she exhaled, "Can Yes, I transferred the picture— "

The next second, a picture from a surveillance device on the ground was projected above the crystal array at the front of the hall. In a holographic projection with several clutters, a behemoth white tower was standing in the magic On the high ground near the Energy Research Institute, the tower itself did not seem to have suffered any damage. However, the machinery and crystal array on the top of the tower have stopped functioning, and the crystals that should have been charged and shining are also obviously dimmed at the moment.

Gao Wen frowned at all this, but soon he saw the dim crystals becoming brighter again.

The power ridge in the tower was successfully restarted, and the surging energy was injected into each unit again. The large-scale crystal array regained its vitality within a few seconds, and the previously self-locking mechanical device also unlocked itself. , They began to slowly rotate and recalibrate themselves, and a technician in the hall shouted loudly: "Reconnect to the Imperial Hub!"

Gao Wen was slightly relieved, but his expression was still tense, and Rebecca immediately asked loudly, "How is the situation in the main hubs around?"

"For the time being, I can't contact ... All channels are broken, but if we can restart here, they should be able to ... We are trying a single line call ..."

"Hold the call, anyway, contact the main hubs everywhere to confirm their safety," Rebecca spoke quickly, "Master Kamal, please contact the computing center to confirm the situation on the neural network; Cohen, you take your group to the 3rd basement. The bottom energy group needs someone to help; Marin, open the public window of the Imperial Hub. Other main hubs may call us through that window ... "

She had completely calmed down and began to order her tasks in an orderly manner and stabilize the situation.

Gao Wen looked at this Rebecca completely differently than usual. For a long time, he sighed with relief in his heart-his "steel mental aura" really worked.

...

The chaotic howling phenomenon not only occurs in the control center of Cecil City, it occurs in each main hub and the magic network terminal connected to the main hub.

At that moment, and within a few minutes after it, every magic web main hub in the empire encountered the same thing, terrible howling came suddenly, and a powerful surge of energy destroyed the newly established connection, The equipment was shut down in a large area, and the control center was in chaos. An invisible storm raged in the magic web covering the entire empire, from Shilin City to the Fortress of Long Wind, from San Sunil to Fort Winter, all the people in charge of the area were in a hurry.

A cold will suddenly came, "frozen" the minds of everyone in the hall like sudden frost, then the cold will gradually faded, and the technicians quickly calmed down-the first person who reacted first looked at Towards the high platform not far away, the Victoria Wilde Lady stood just and quietly, surrounded by crystal ice crystals, and her frost-like face was expressionless.

"Keep calm and start troubleshooting," Victoria's cold voice rang out throughout the hall. "First confirm the energy situation, and then try to restart our hub tower."

"Sir," Victor, a high-level wizard advisor, flew directly to the platform where Victoria was located. "Our communication with the Imperial Capital was interrupted-communication with the main hub in all other regions was interrupted."

"The energy was interrupted just now, and all systems were affected. Communication was interrupted normally," Victoria said expressionlessly. "First, try to call San Sunil, which is the closest to us, to confirm whether a similar situation has occurred in other areas."

"Yes, sir." Victor bowed his head and bowed.

After the old mage left, Victoria looked calmly around the hall.

Under the influence of "cold mind", the technicians who were in a panic have all calmed down. Although the situation is still unclear, everyone has returned to work and began to intensively troubleshoot the fault to find this vision. the reason.

Perhaps in the future, a set of magic equipment with "cold mind" or similar spell effects should be installed in all important departments, just like a water tank used for fire fighting, as an "emergency disaster prevention device". Incident, you can directly activate the magic device to let the staff calm down, even if it can only last for half an hour, it is enough to save many situations ... This is a feasible idea, and you can discuss it with your majesty later.

Something unrelated to the situation in front of her appeared in Victoria's mind for a time, but she immediately converged her thoughts and turned her attention back to the current situation.

This sudden anomaly ... what the **** is going on?

This snow-duke is knowledgeable in the field of traditional magic, but feels lack of knowledge in the field of modern magic. She shook her head in confusion and prayed softly to herself: "Goddess of magic ... where is it? Problem ... "

After praying, there was no feedback, and Mirmyna, the goddess of magic, did not respond.

No, it ’s not just that there is no response, even the vague snooping sense that should appear after praying to God under normal circumstances and the “transcendence” that establishes a connection with the extraordinary existence have never appeared. Victoria feels that there is nothing at the end of his prayer. In the keen mental perception of the legendary strongman, she even feels like she is facing some kind of "emptiness".

There should have been a **** there, but now it is gone-after realizing this, the Duchess opened her eyes instantly.

...

The neural network built on the basis of the magic network also set off a "storm wind", and this gust of wind is completely substantial to the world in the network.

Between the vast expanse of heaven and earth, countless grey and white chaotic lines are entangled and flying in the air, and the gust of wind blowing through the world is blowing. Between the gusts of wind, the originally clear and bright sky becomes suddenly bright and dark , Large and small cracks and some kind of shimmering light and shadow continue to breed from all corners of the sky, but they are quickly repaired by another force. The only "city" in the world is protected by a translucent silver-white "light cocoon". The light cocoon blocks the bad "weather" outside, and the city's interior remains stable.

In a large pyramid-shaped building in the center of the city, Yuri was nervously watching the runes and data in front of him, with a quick tone: "There is a huge abnormal data stream that is 'flowing through' our network, very huge! "

"Can you catch it?" Wendy asked aside.

"I can't do anything here. It's too weird to be able to get started, and it's still moving fast along the 'unconscious area' at the most boundary of the network ..." Yuri was confused, "What the **** is this ... "

"No matter what it is, it's obviously for destruction!" Magnan's loud voice burst suddenly. "If necessary, I can now go to the border of the unconscious zone to try a few mind storms ..."

"Shut up, be quiet, your mind storm may have no effect on this weird data!" Yuri immediately glared at Magnum, then a more confused expression appeared on his face, "Wait, this weird foreign The person ... is moving away? It is receding from the border, faster and faster ... "

"What do you mean?" Magnum stared, "Don't tell me it's just passing by!"

"I don't know if this thing is 'passing by', but it is about to disappear into our sight," Yuri said quickly. "Semler, Narristil and Duval can be reached outside the city What? Look at what they have over there. "

"I try-now the load is lighter, it should be fine."

In the hills outside the city, huge white spiders still crawl quietly on the top of the mountain. The wind in the online world could not shake her body, but the messy data and information calmed down beside her quickly.

The safety of the city has been guaranteed, and the overall load of the network is also improving. This sudden storm seems to be over, but Naritier has not relaxed at all, and the invisible silk thread is spreading from the void beside her. , Like a huge net covering the sky, the earth, the water, and every mind behind it, everything in the neural network gradually became the end of her spider web, and her perception spread unprecedentedly--

At this moment, the "neural network" became perfect, and it began to reorganize itself in the way it was designed, and to function like its name.

Duvalt stood on the high ground near the hill and watched Naritier's work from afar. He could see the way the silk thread spread, and he was also calling his own power to help Narettiel further Expand your perception and search for the "outsiders" who are trying to cause destruction.

At a later moment, a "spider thread" on this giant web was suddenly turned abnormally.

Maybe it was just an accidental touch, or it might be a temptation of excess curiosity, or a bold provocation, no matter what the reason behind, the spider silk ... was stirred.

The web-weaving spider disappeared on the hill instantaneously out of thin air-she had followed the tossed spider silk, and in this world built by her mind, her speed surpassed the fastest and most human A short thought.

Duvalt only heard one sentence left by the other party: "I'm going to prey! You stay here to watch!"

The old man in the black dress standing on the high ground froze for a moment, shook his head with a helpless smile, and said to himself: "... After splitting into two individuals, I feel more and more like a nanny ... … "

Some jumping golden runes appeared out of nowhere in the air beside the old man. The runes shuddered and made a sound: "Duvalt, here is Semler-how is your situation?"

"Naritier seems to have found the trace of the intruder and she has gone to prey," Duvalt said casually. "My situation here is gradually stabilizing-but before the exact news came from Naritier. , I do not recommend closing the city shield. "

"Okay, we get it."
