Ever since the mutants attacked the camp, Gwen had been paying close attention to the Great Wall. As someone who had witnessed the construction of the Great Wall, he knew better than anyone what the magical barrier meant to the various races on the continent. He also knew that if the magical barrier went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, even in the most difficult situation of his territory, he still spent a lot of money to set up several observation posts near the southern pass of the Gloom Mountain Range to monitor the situation of the Great Wall day and night. That pass was the gap in the mountain range where the Aberrations invaded the territory. It could be said that it was the biggest weakness of the entire Gloom Mountain Range barrier and the only "window" from a safer place to overlook the Great Wall.
Just this morning, several observation posts reported that a strange "flicker" occurred in the middle section of the Great Wall. The huge magic barrier dimmed for a moment, and then the whole thing became extraordinarily bright. The whole process lasted only a few seconds, but it was clearly visible.
It was not the whole barrier that flickered. After the flicker, the barrier returned to normal. This was the only good news: it seemed that there was no risk of the barrier collapsing, and the self-repair function of the barrier was still working normally.
After receiving the report, Gawain did not even attend the activation ceremony of the Magic Obelisk. Instead, he locked himself in his study and retrieved the recent satellite surveillance data. After confirming that there were no excessive magic surges around his territory, and there were no abnormal energy readings in the direction of the Gloom Mountains, he was slightly relieved. The problem was still the wasteland of Gondor itself, and it had nothing to do with the giant sun in the sky or the magic environment of the entire world.
"What has Solderlin been doing these two days?" Gwen suddenly changed the topic. He mentioned the bald champion who was currently freeloading in the territory as a "captive".
Heti thought for a moment and said with uncertainty, "He has been very cooperative. He basically never leaves his place. But it is said that he has been a little close to Pitman recently. But it is normal. After all, Druil's heritage comes from the elves. The two of them may have some common topics in the way of nature."
Gwen's mouth could not help but twitch. He thought to himself that Solderlin was indeed a champion who would never give up easily. He had not given up on curing his detox yet! It's just that he's setting his sights on Pitman, that unreliable fake drug dealer … Is Solderlin planning to exchange all the commissions he's earned over the years for charms and transfer ointments?
Only Gawain himself knew about Solderlin's' truth of the strong ', so it was inappropriate for him to explain it to Heidi. He simply said, "Go and find him."
Not long after, Solderlin came to Gawain's study. This "Typhon officer" was technically a captive on the battlefield, but he was not mistreated at all in Cecil. Apart from a little necessary surveillance, his living conditions were almost the same as Hedi, Rebecca, and the others. Furthermore, he was able to move freely in most areas of the territory. When he showed up, he greeted Gawain cheerfully, "Hey! Gwen, I have something to tell you. In your territory, there's a … "
"Don't believe him. Except for the normal potions of the Druil system, most of the ointment he sells in private are fake."
Solderlin was speechless.
"The amulets are also fake. The ones he claimed to have found in the ancient ruins were all taken from the scrap heap of the steel mill."
Solderlin was speechless.
"Don't believe in the hair care stuff either. His hair is natural, and he's not of the same race as you. It's useless even if you believe it."
Solderlin was speechless. "… I'm going to kill him right now!"
"Come back!" Gwen glared at the champion. "I'm looking for you for serious business!"
Solderlin finally noticed Gwen's serious expression and immediately became serious. "What happened?"
"You're a Silver Elf, right?" Gwen pointed to the chair next to him and asked Solderlin to sit at the desk. "How much do you know about the Great Wall?"
"It's true that the Silver Elves built the Great Wall … but that's the job of the mages. I'm just a ranger. My understanding of magic is limited." One of Solderlin's strengths was that he would never brag about something he was not good at. "What's wrong with the Great Wall?"
Gwen did not hide anything. He immediately told the Silver Elf about the flickering of the Great Wall and the attack of the Mutants when this territory was first built. He also mentioned the disaster of the old Cecil Territory. "… The old Cecil Territory was also destroyed by the Mutants and the aura of the Magic Wave. You should know that the original Cecil Territory was not in this place, but in the hills further northwest."
Solderlin's expression became more and more serious as he listened to Gwen's words. When he heard that similar Mutant attacks had happened more than once, his eyebrows were almost knitted together. His pair of green eyes, which were unique to the Silver Elves, were full of worry.
The short-lived humans could completely forget the horror of a country's destruction after a few hundred years, but the long-lived elves were not a forgetful race. Until today, the time in the Gondor wasteland would still occasionally appear in Solderlin's dreams. He knew too well what it meant if what Gwen said was true.
"Are you sure that those are the Mutants we dealt with back then?" Sordlin was a little worried, so he asked Gawain again. Gawain gave him an affirmative answer. "I can't be wrong. I've been fighting them for decades. When I died, I was surrounded by a bunch of them. How can I be wrong?"
Before I close my eyes, there are a bunch of f * cking mutants. When I open my eyes, they are still mutants. I've wasted my time in the previous version. This was the truest feeling Gawain had after inheriting Gawain Cecil's memories.
"The power of the Magic Wave was sealed inside the Great Wall. It's not normal for it to appear in the civilized territory now …" Solderlin frowned and began to recall what he knew about the Great Wall. "Hmm … Although I'm not a magus, I do know more about the Great Wall than you humans. As far as I know, the Great Wall is a magical barrier built using an ancient 'adaptive shield' technology. By relying on a series of 'sentry towers' erected at the border of the Gondor wasteland, the Great Wall's shield can automatically adjust to adapt to the complex magical environment in the Gondor wasteland. As you know, the Magic Wave brings with it chaotic and disorderly energy waves. This constant fluctuation of energy waves is the most dangerous characteristic of the Magic Wave. Only an adaptive shield can adjust itself to the fluctuations of the chaotic energy and maintain a strong enough defense with minimal energy consumption … "
Gwen listened attentively. Then he asked, "So, if there's an energy wave in the Gondor wasteland that exceeds the shield's adaptive range, the Great Wall will 'not be able to react' and overload?"
"In theory, yes …" Solderlin said with uncertainty. "But I heard from the elven magi that every sentry tower has a very large margin, which is enough to deal with the sudden large-scale energy wave in the Gondor wasteland. Moreover, fifty percent of the sentry towers in the entire protective barrier area have backups. If the barrier really starts to overload, the sentry towers will immediately activate to balance the load. There shouldn't be a serious problem like the temporary damage of the barrier …"
"Ah, a spare sentry tower. I've heard of it before. There's such a setup." Gawain recalled the relevant information. "Hmm … Have you been back to your hometown all these years?"
"I only went back once three hundred years ago." Solderlin smiled faintly. "It's really difficult to go back. There's a Gondor wasteland in the center of the continent. To return to the Silver Empire from the north of the continent, I have to go around the entire continent. I don't have my own griffin or dragonhawk."
"Then how do you usually communicate with your compatriots? Or … do you still keep in touch with your homeland? "
"There's still communication," Solderin explained. "The Sentry Towers themselves have a magical communication function that can relay communication signals from the Constellation Temple. This function is used to monitor the situation of the various Sentry Towers. There are barrier monitoring stations set up by the Silver Empire in Typhon and the western border of Ansu. I can contact my homeland through them. But the frequency is not very high. The sentry towers can only transmit limited information, but there are many elves traveling outside. "
"Then when was the last time you communicated with the Silver Empire?"
"You're worried …" Solderlin realized Gwen's concern. "That the maintenance of the Great Wall has problems, but the Silver Elves have not told the world?"
"I can't rule out this possibility. After all, since the large-scale information network between the Kingdom of Gondor and the Silver Empire collapsed, it's difficult for the human countries to get timely news from the elves. Now, only the southernmost Kingdom of Kaolin on the continent maintains direct contact with the elves, and the Kingdom of Kaolin is the most mysterious of the four human countries," Gwen said unhurriedly. "Even if we don't consider anything else, now that the Great Wall is indeed having problems, there's no news from the Silver Elves. This is something to worry about, isn't it?"
Solderlin's face turned solemn. He did not hide the worry in his heart. Although he had lived in the human world for many years, Solderlin was still a Silver Elf. He could not let go of his homeland.
"The last time I contacted my homeland was more than ten years ago. You know, according to the elves' concept of time, this is not long ago." Solderlin looked up at Gwen and said, "But now I think it's necessary for me to contact them again. As a high-level ranger, I know a lot of people in the Silver Empire. Maybe I can find out about the situation of the Great Wall."
"You can also tell them about the resurrection of Gwen Cecil. I know a lot of people in the Silver Empire. This will make your communication more important." Gwen nodded. "Even if there's nothing wrong with the Silver Empire, it's good that you tell them about the temporary failure of the northern barrier. It's more or less a warning. After all, the Gloom Mountain Range is the most difficult section of the Great Wall to monitor. Maybe your mages still don't know that the barrier is having problems."
