The ruler of the silver empire sits quietly on the throne built by the ancient technology that has long since lost. The holographic projection in front of the throne has dissipated. Her eyes crossed the air and landed in the distance without aim. It seems to be immersed in thinking. in.

After a moment of thinking, she tapped the golden armrest of the throne, and one of the cables connected to her nervous system behind the throne had a flash of light.

The metal sliding door on the side of the control hall (control hall) was quietly opened, and a high-ranking maid wearing a white fringed dress walked in lightly, pointing in the direction of the seat of the rule: "Your Majesty , you call me?"

"Please ask the master of Veronica to come to the control hall," Belcetia nodded gently. "I want to discuss things in the technical field with her."

The Temple of the Stars is not only an aerial fortress that symbolizes the power of the Empire, but also an important research facility and a sanctuary of knowledge. This magnificent aerial city has a large laboratory and several archives. One of the organizations, the "Star Warrior Association", set up its headquarters here.

The Silver Empire has a group of top researchers, whose team consists of the best magisters, the most savvy scholars, and the best engineering masters. They are buried in the infinite knowledge of the Temple of the Stars and the ancestral relics. Rely on the mysteries of the magic field, relying on a large number of research facilities inside the Temple of the Stars.

They have an honorary title star engineer who is independent of their professional system because of their outstanding contributions and high academic ability.

One of the most outstanding astrologers, the great star of the empire, who has served for nearly two thousand years, has been summoned by the Queen, and she has temporarily escaped from the vast data and drawings and came to the throne of the rule.

This savvy and knowledgeable woman has a tall figure. Although she is no longer young, she still maintains a beautiful and mature appearance and elegant manner. She wears a lavender-silver-dressed robes and long gold. From the high plate, several crystals filled with magic floated beside her, acting as her medium of casting and recording tools. She bent down slightly in front of Belcetia, paying tribute and asking about the Queen's will: Your Majesty, what do you call me?"

"Velonia, you are my best magic consultant," the silver queen nodded gently. "I need to make a decision now, I need to hear your opinion."

"You please, I am listening."

"We have re-established contact with the northern part of the mainland, and you should already know this," said the silver queen. "I just talked to the Sonya messenger and met Gao Wen Cecil. He was indeed resurrected."

"...the resurrection of the deceased happened occasionally in history, but the 'perfect' resurrection like the Duke of Govin Cecil is indeed rare, which may be related to the variation of life forms," ​​Verania thought, "you want Let me study the secret of the resurrection of the Duke of Cecil? But this is not my area of ​​expertise, and the researchers of the life faction should be able to give you more advice..."

"No, I am looking for you because the Duke of Cecil offered me a suggestion about the technical cooperation between humans and elves."

“Technical cooperation?” Velania had some accidents. She frowned slightly. “This...is an unexpected suggestion. The magical skills of humans and elves have never been able to blend, even in the era of the Empire. The academic exchanges between us and human beings are mostly limited to the fields of culture and art. Occasionally, it involves extraordinary powers, and it is only a theoretical and academic discussion. But I think the 'cooperation' that the Duke of Cecil requires is not the same. ”

If it is only the exchange in the above fields, the Queen does not need to find someone to discuss.

"They found a way to decipher and control the elf spells," Belsetia said faintly, but this indifferent discourse allowed the big star to open his eyes. "Strictly speaking, they found all the world known. The legal mystery of the runes they named it: Rune Logic."

The first reaction of Veronica is "this is impossible", because there are so many kinds of runes in the world, the possibility of the combination of runes is almost endless, and even the most amazing mortal can not perceive all characters. The magical fluctuations of the text, it is impossible to control all the magical arrays, not to mention the common law of the runes from different races that are very different from each other. This is like a singularity, but as a rigorous And the awe-inspiring researcher, the great star surgeon finally suppressed the instinctive resistance and disbelief, and turned to the silver queen to prove: "This is true? How did they do it?"

"The Duke of Cecil certainly won't tell me the specifics, but they should have found a path, a road that is very different from the tradition. We have intelligence to prove that there was a war in the southern part of Ansu. A magical device with elf spell features, this should be an evidence," Belsetia said without hesitation, "and the Duke of Cecil hopes to cooperate with the silver empire on a technical level. He wants our counter Gravity technology, multi-layer rune stacking technology, and various ancestral knowledge in the fields of mechanics and engineering. In exchange, he is willing to share rune logic with us and their knowledge in the process of analyzing human spells and magic. ""

"Our ancestral knowledge..." Verayana whispered the words mentioned by the Queen softly, and the look gradually became serious.

"We have never disclosed the ancestor knowledge to the aliens. Even when we joined forces with the human countries to build the tower of the sentinel, what we brought out is the 'packaging result' that does not include the construction process," Belcetia continued. "The original elf stayed. The legacy is the guarantee that the silver empire has stood up to this day. The suggestion made by the Duke of Cecil ... hesitated."

The Star Master did not immediately give her own answer. She just quietly thought that the magic crystals floating around her, constantly changing and changing positions did not know when it was still, and began to flash with a consistent light.

This is a manifestation of the big star's meditation.

The Silver Queen did not bother with the thinking of the chief adviser. She just sat quietly in the seat of the ruler, listening to the low-pitched or whisper of the ancient machinery in the air city with the soul and the nerves, listening to every engine, every The sound of a reactor and every artificial intelligence node slowly moving toward destruction, the expression is calm and waveless.

"Your Majesty," the Star Warrior finally raised his head and broke the silence. "You know, I was a coach of the Royal Academy 1300 years ago. I was responsible for teaching the advanced skills of the young elite Arcane Magic and teaching them. The Empire has the most advanced knowledge in the field of arcane."

"I heard that," Belsetia nodded slightly: "There are many members of the Starmasters Association who are your apprentices."

"Yes, most of them I taught it 1300 years ago," Velaniya said, taking a light breath. "And I returned to the Royal Academy six days ago to visit a friend. On the shelf of that friend, I saw their current textbooks...still what I taught 1300 years ago."

Belcetia's eyes condensed and quietly looked at the big star surgeon in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the Silver Empire is already a giant beast that has been stagnant for thousands of years. It may still be the largest individual in this forest, but its interior has gradually decayed in these thousands of years of stagnation. We are left behind by our ancestors. In the heritage, knowledge has been mined. In the first few millennia, we used them to build a huge empire, but in the following thousands of years, we have not made any progress. All our technological achievements are based on In the small repairs of the existing fields, the products we made with the old drawings are more and more refined, more durable, and even improve some efficiency, but... in the basic areas behind these drawings, we always stop moving forward.

"Your Majesty, we have no way to go. We need the second road to look for the hope of this road alone, but there may be an opportunity in front of us.

"Human magical skills may have been hit hard by the annihilation of the Gangster Empire, but they are a smart and changeable race. They are good at extracting knowledge from various fields and developing rapidly. Their knowledge is relevant to us. What we need is such a 'reference meaning'.

"This is my suggestion, Her Majesty."

Belcetia quietly listened to the advice of the Star Warrior. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke up: "You are right, we should seize this opportunity.

"The big star surgeon, please go back to rest, let other big star surgeons prepare, wait for my call."

Verayana lowered her head deeply: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Verania left the hall, and the silver queen was silent for a moment. Then she tapped the handrail again and recruited her maid: "Let Valentian Anqing come to see me."

After a moment, wearing a secret silver crown, wearing a red-rimmed robes, the tall and serious imperial empire minister Valentin King Valley entered the control hall, the high elf who served as the queen’s chief confidant in front of the throne A deep sigh: "What is your command?"

"The Principality of Cecil in the north will engage in high-level technical cooperation with the Silver Empire. In exchange for their control of runes, the Empire will open up some of their ancestor knowledge," Belcetia said calmly. "I want to convene The regiment discussed this with all the big star surgeons. There will be many opponents, and unnecessary restraint and pride will make many elves refuse to open ancestor knowledge to humans."

The first empire of the empire, Valention, maintains a cold face that will never change: "So what is your order?"

"I asked the bill to pass in two days."

"Yes."

Soon, the hall was quiet again.

In the empty hall where the waiters were screened in advance, Belsetia was sitting alone on the throne. Only the occasional snoring of various instruments and equipment broke the silence in the room. The silence lasted for ten seconds and the throne rang. A sigh.

"I hope this is really an opportunity."

......

At the same time, in the northern part of the mainland, in Ansu.

In the ancient palace deep in the ground, a room is brightly lit.

The female instructor, Bertila, stood in the room and quietly watched several Christians in black robes checking the magical device in the center of the room.

It is two black stone pillars, nearly one person high, the surface is engraved with dense runes and pale gold secret lines, and there are fine crystals and expensive magic materials set between those runes and lines, shining slightly Light, two stone pillars stand on the ground, less than two meters apart, and on the ground they stand on, you can also see a large magical array that is extremely complex and almost covered with the entire floor. The magic array is obviously half The state of activation, countless runes and connections are shimmering, and the spar embedded in the magic array is filled with energy.

The Elf Gemini stood beside Bethira and looked at the two "stone pillars" in the center of the room with great interest. They sighed in unison: "There are some very interesting ideas for the eternal sleepers. They can think of projecting human thinking." In the distance, you can even cross the magnificent wall directly..."

"Unfortunately this may be the last collaboration with them," Bertila said faintly. "They eventually rejected the path of great evolution and chose the false world of the heart."

"They think their road is correct. We think our road is correct," said the elf twins, laughing and walking around Beltila. "So what about you? Bertila, you are new." The world can have its own opinions?"

"I don't like your hobbies around people," Bellilla unknowingly squirmed the elves of the elves, and walked to the center of the room to check out the magical array of believers who had retired, the two black pillars. The surface is constantly shining, "If you are not willing to help, at least don't choose to add chaos."

"Oh, of course we are here to help," said the elves, who said in unison, and followed Betila to the stone pillar. "We have a lot to say to our companions on the other side of the barrier."

The magic array in the room was activated, and the light on the surface of the two black stone pillars suddenly became extraordinarily bright.
