Sword of Daybreaker

The shouting of the Shuren’s leader could not change any reality. The plants and vines that had hurriedly crossed the border and tried to invade the interior of the explosion pit had been devastated by the garrison troops of the Deep Blue Well. As the light beam swept through, the last ash scattered in the wind. This little temptation ended in failure just like dozens of previous attempts.

Another tree person beside the chief came forward, his branches shrunk and twisted, but he had a powerful magical power to swim in his dry canopy. Those intertwined branches tangled and grew above the tree person's head. It formed a structure that seemed to swell the brain, which looked strange and disturbing.

This twisted creature with a "brain canopy" looked down at the crystal pillar mound in the explosion pit, watching the magical light between those crystal pillars gradually dissipating, he shook his crown, the glimmer of light walking between the crowns for a time Uncertainty: "We have successfully controlled several iron man echelons, but through these steel soldiers, we can only penetrate the outermost defense line... The soul of the dead soul in the deepest part of the Deep Blue Well is too vigilant, she has been constantly heavy Construct the security model inside the ruins, even if this place has not been invaded for seven hundred years..."

The Archbishop snorted, and his voice was deep and insidious: "Paracious, stubborn, and delusional murder... The soul of the dead has been entrenched in this tomb for seven hundred years, and may have been crazy for a long time."

"A thinking matrix won't go crazy... The stability of steel and crystal is much more stable than your mental state, Mr. Archbishop," the voices of two women who sounded at the same time suddenly came from a short distance, with a tone of voice A little bit of humor interrupted the whispering curse of the Archbishop, "We just heard you swearing here-it's not like your previous mannerism."

The Archbishop turned around, and his tawny eyes reflected the figures of two elves who were walking not far away.

"Relna, Firna..." he said in a deep voice, "Are you looking specifically at the excitement?"

"Please calm down, Archbishop," the elven twins came to the Shuren leader. The sisters of the same appearance with a gentle sweet smile bent slightly, "As a plant, you should have a more peaceful Calm mindset-Excessive excitement can damage your roots and crown."

The Archbishop snorted dissatisfiedly, and the dry branches rattled: "You don't need to play around here in saucy words-you might as well pay attention to the facts in front of you. Take a look at this ruin, the energy of the Deep Blue Well is in front of us. However, after such a long time, we still have to wander around the outer defensive circle. You have promised to have a way to penetrate the ancient defense system here, but in my opinion... your promise has not been fully fulfilled."

"What we promised was to penetrate only part of the iron man's mind, but not the entire defense system," the elves said in unison, with a very calm expression on their faces. "We believe that your memory should not be so unbearable."

The Archbishop’s tan eyes were fixed on the elf twins, but after a few seconds of gaze, he still withdrew his gaze: "You are right, but you also said that it was bypassed through the mental network of the Iron Man Corps. The matrix is ​​feasible-obviously, you have failed, the fact is that even if you control several echelon echelons, we can’t get into the depths of the ruins.

"No, this idea is indeed feasible, but it takes some luck and timing, so we tell you to be patient," Leirna said immediately, "but rest assured, we are here to tell you the good news today. -Forget about the little failure just now, the time for our next penetration is now."

"Huh?" The Archbishop's eyes became serious. "You mean..."

"We have been indirectly observing the inside of the dark blue fortress through the captured iron man's mental core, and based on the data collected just a few hours ago, we can be sure of one thing..." Firna smiled sweetly , The tone of voice could not help rising, "Ophelia matrix's operating efficiency has dropped, Your Excellency the High Dean."

"The efficiency of the Ophelia matrix has fallen?!" The Archbishop froze for a moment, followed by an unbelievable tone, "Are you sure?"

"We are confident in our judgment, the dean," Leirna put a smile on her face, and took her expression seriously. "From two days ago, we found that the Ophelia matrix is ​​experiencing abnormal fluctuations. There was an unusually large data exchange and reorganization-at present we don't know what she is doing, but since that data exchange, her operational efficiency has been declining, and the rate of decline has not completely stabilized until a few hours ago. And until now it has remained at a low level."

Leirna said that it stopped here, and Fellner took it without delay: "According to the calculation we just completed, if the Ophelia matrix continues to maintain the current operating efficiency for forty-eight hours, she is rebuilding the internal defense. Very small loopholes will appear in safe mode. If the duration is longer...the loopholes will become usable. We can push the penetration line into the impact pit, and it may even take over some of the outermost energy conduits of the Deep Blue Well. ."

The Archbishop’s eyes fell on the elven twins, and there was no obvious expression on the lignified and vulgar face. However, the flashing light in those eyes showed that this severely distorted life was in a more excited state. There was a hoarse laughter, but soon he questioned: "Wait, since the change happened two days ago, why didn't you report it then?"

"We need to confirm that although the Ophelia matrix has been running smoothly for seven hundred years, she may also have transient and normal fluctuations due to internal self-maintenance or partial node failure and replacement, so we want to confirm that she really out Only when there is a problem can I report the situation to you," Filna said frankly. "Unless you are willing to be disturbed by frequent and meaningless trivia, then our sisters can report all the details in no detail."

The Archbishop stared at the Elf Gemini again for a long time, and he didn't take his gaze again until ten seconds later.

"Okay, I don't care about these'details', I respect the'cooperative relationship' between us," he said lightly. "Now show some sincerity from the collaborators, tell me how to proceed further Penetration-we need the energy of the Deep Blue Well, even if it can only control the outermost catheter, it will be a huge improvement."

Leirna and Firna smiled.

They looked up at the deep blue well in the distance and watched the pure energy sprayed thinly from the top of the crystal column as if they were a giant sword rushing into the sky, piercing the dirty clouds and stirring the gloomy cyclone covering the entire waste soil .

"Of course," the elves said in unison, "we will get the energy of the Deep Blue Well."

...

The connection with the land was completely cut off just now.

Gao Wen got up from the dragon's back and looked at some special equipment installed on the back of Melita's scapula-those devices no longer relay signals from land, and the holographic projection is showing an error sign, base rune There is also a dim part, which is a sign that the basic response signals have completely disappeared, and this all happened faster than the previous technicians expected.

He frowned: It seems that even the most powerful and sensitive special model can't maintain contact with the land after crossing the offshore boundary, if you want to make Magic Network communication continue to function on the sea, you must Set up transit nodes on the ocean, or lay some kind of communication facilities on the seabed.

As for launching communication satellites... I am afraid it is too early to consider.

The whistling sea breeze passed over Merita's body shield. When the whistling sound came into his ears, it was very weak. The sea surface was glowing in the sunset, showing a magnificent beauty that people living on land could not imagine.

Melita had lowered her altitude twice in a row, and now she was almost flying at a low altitude.

"The signals are all interrupted," Amber scratched his hair. "The signal attenuation rate in the ocean area is faster than on land-the large hub on the north port can be covered here."

"I can lower the altitude a little bit, and I'm fairly good at flying at low altitudes," Melita's voice came from the front. "Flying close to the sea can shorten the straight-line distance between your communication equipment and the land, and interference will also occur. better."

"Then trouble you," Gao Wen did not reject the other party's good intentions, after all, he really wanted to collect more data, "lower the height."

"It's a trifle, just flap your wings."

Melita said casually, and then the powerful dragon Shu spread her wings and adjusted the overall flight attitude, and its height was reduced to almost the level of flying close to the sea again-the waves rolled under the dragon wings, and suddenly The passing airflow rolled up foam and debris floating on the water, forming a broken white tail mark behind the dragon.

A buzzing sound came from those devices, two of which were specifically used to detect the response signal and identify the remote hub. The device turned on automatically, and the holographic projection above them jittered out of some characters, as Melita said. As said, the disturbance of the magic has been improved in some places close to the sea surface-but this did not last long.

Just a few minutes later, the connection was interrupted again, this time it was really unconnected.

"Do I need to hover for a while?" Melita said intimately. "Perhaps we can find a more precise'demarcation point.'"

"...No need," Gao Wen thought for a moment, and shook his head. "The equipment has automatically recorded the relevant data, and the technicians will analyze it after going back. The situation on the ocean is changing rapidly, and you collected it in a few circles here. The information is not very useful."

"Okay, then I'm going to raise the altitude," Melita shook her head. "I don't have to worry about the sea when I fly a little higher. There are several islands nearby. I continue to fly at low altitudes. I worry about hitting the mountain."

As she said, this dragon dragon vigorously stirred her wings. With a slight tilt and acceleration, the ocean and sky in Gao Wen's vision began to sink, and the amber beside him cried curiously: "Hey, have you hit the mountain before?"

"Of course not," Melita said immediately. "My flying skills are the best among my peers!"

Amber whispered next to Gao Wen, "I don't know why, I always think she didn't tell the truth..."

Gao Wen kept his majestic state and said nothing.

But he thinks what Amber said makes sense...

At this moment, Veronica, who kept her eyes closed and nostalgic at the back, suddenly stood up.

The "Princess Saint" stepped forward, came to Gao Wen and looked down into the distance and whispered, "We are close to the storm..."

"Mommy!!" Amber on the other side of Gao Wen also exclaimed, "Can't we just go straight through?!"

In front of Melita's flight trajectory, a magnificent cloud wall has stood at the end of the sky and sea, as the distance gets closer, the details of the magnificent cloud wall are clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes-it connects the ocean And the sky, there are large-scale, horizontally moving clouds on the surface. Under the wind of the storm, a large amount of seawater was rolled into the air, and then fell again in the middle of the cloud wall, forming a long violent storm outside the storm circle. Even if there is still some distance away here, Gao Wen can clearly see how amazing the torrential rain and the upper-level storms are-there is no doubt that it is a natural spectacle that humans at this stage can never challenge.

Not even the strongest and most powerful warship of the Cecil Empire.

At this moment, Melita's flight direction was pointing straight at the storm! !

"Of course it is through," Miss Dragon's deep, thunderous voice came from the front, and the tone was full of lightness. "The scale of this storm is amazing. It will take a lot of effort and a lot of time to get around."

During the talk, she had instigated the giant wing again. The native runes on the edge of the dragon wing lit up. Under the impetus of magic, her flying height began to climb quickly, and the storm cloud wall in the distance was in the sight of Gao Wen and others. The rapid decline.

"Can the storm be crossed from above the cloud wall?" Gao Wen asked immediately.

"Ah... if you want to completely cross the storm circle, you have to fly to the boundary between the turbulent layer and the steady-state limit layer, which is the height that the dragon can't stay for a long time," Melita seemed to say. With a hint of smile, "We can't fly so high-just go to the middle of the turbulent layer."

Gao Wen frowned subconsciously, and instinctively felt that if according to Melita, the structure of the eternal storm would be a little weird: "At that height, the strength of the storm is relatively weak?"

"Yes, the strength of the storm there will be weaker-of course it is still dangerous for ordinary flying creatures, but it is already a sustainable "gale" for the dragons," Melita was proud. Said, "I will protect you with a magic shield, so just sit back and enjoy it. Enjoy the next journey-I think it will be spectacular for you."

Instead, the wind is weakening at high altitude? Isn't the "power source" of the eternal storm not the upper atmosphere, but...near the sea? !
