Gao Wen can basically be sure that those who appeared in the fragment of the meeting and the shadows covered the dark fog, and those who had sailed with Gavin Cecil should be a group of children of the storm that have not been completely devoured by madness and paranoia. Religious.

Of course, at that time they could also be called "storm priests".

This is also in line with his previous reasoning: 700 years ago, when all kinds of advanced magical technologies of human beings had declared failure, they could only help Govin Cecil to complete the mysterious voyage. Storm priests of various sea arts.

From the timeline, when Gao Wen started the mysterious voyage, the three denominations should have completed the ceremony on the peak of the ancestors, and they should have fallen into madness.

So who protected the intellect of some of the Sons of the Storm so that they could complete the mysterious voyage of Govin Cecil?

Lantern ...

Gao Wen can think of only one name: Selena Gelfen.

The lantern in the memory is very vague, but it has a strong sense of familiarity and intimacy. This feeling originates from Gavin Cecil, which shows that the image of "the lantern" has left a deep impression on the latter's memory. At that time, there was no figure of Selena Gell on the dinghy, but since the lantern was hanging on the bow ... maybe it means that the "power" of Selena Gell was at some kind of surreal Form accompanies Gavin Cecil.

Gao Wen rubbed his forehead, remembering a piece of information Daniel had passed to himself before--

Although it is not clear what the specific death time and course of Selena Gell was, but in the materials that the archbishop priest can consult, it can basically be determined that the "dream lady" was short after the ancestor peak ceremony. He died within a period of time. The cause of death was martyrdom, protecting a large number of priests and believers in the dream church at the cost of life.

If it were n’t for her martyrdom, I do n’t think there would be a surviving “Eternal Sleeper” group: The Church of Dreams specializes in spiritual power. Due to the nature of divine magic, their relationship with the gods is closer and more direct Coupled with the fact that the then-Megol III was the first to enter the kingdom of God and face the gods, the members of the Church of the Dream were also more severely affected than the other two churches.

Since Selena protected most of the members of the Dream Church at the time, then ... if she still has the power, it is also possible to "by the way" temporarily shelter some storm priests.

The time of Govin Cecil's voyage was not clear, but it is certain that after the establishment of the Kingdom of Anzu, the southern border defense system was basically stable, and it could be trusted in the rear.

It is inferred from the timeline that Selena Gelfen should have been apologized to death at that time, and only the lantern appeared in her memory, but she did not see the figure of Selena Gelfen, maybe that was why- Selina "I" did not appear in front of Gawain Cecil.

She protected the voyage team in the form of a soul. The so-called lanterns should only be the symbolic impressions left by Gavin Cecil's mind that originated from the subconscious.

Gao Wen's eyes settled down: If this is the case, then this thing will be interesting.

He has been looking for clues to the mysterious voyage of that year, looking for the records left by those who sailed with Govin Cecil or the clues of their descendants, but he has never gained anything. He thinks that those who are traveling are already here The trace was completely erased in the seven hundred years, and the lineage was broken, but now it seems that one of the biggest insiders is still alive and living in the spiritual network.

Does Selina Gell know the secret back then? If she knew ... then did she know the connection between Gawain Cecil and Gawain? Do you know the "soul trade" that may exist?

Gawain Cecil made a deal with her soul, and the deal was completed during that mysterious voyage. If Selina really followed the ship in some form, she would definitely Know something.

She was afraid that she knew that the soul of Gawain Cecil had been replaced, long before Gawain unveiled the coffin, she should have known it.

However, according to the internal feedback from the Church of the Everlasting, she seems to have never shown this. She is like a totally unknown person, and she also follows other believers, calling Gao Wen an "outside wanderer" ... Is this intentional? To cover up? Still waiting?

And according to the last conversation in the memory, a storm priest said, "Anyway, everyone will forget about it anyway." Gao Wen guessed that this sailing memory should also be sealed by Selena Geer: She is perfectly capable of doing this in the most powerful soul and dream world outside of Gower III.

What was the reason why she tried to seal this memory? And it seems that she also sealed the memory of everyone in the entire team at that time-will there be any hidden dangers in this memory? Will it be leaked? Who is leaked to? Who can glimpse these secrets from the memory of a legendary powerhouse?

Gao Wen vaguely produced some speculation, but because of the lack of evidence, he did not dare to take it seriously.

Victoria was just waiting patiently across from her. She knew that Gao Wen was thinking about some very important things, and it was quite inappropriate to rush to interrupt.

In the end, Gao Wen broke the silence on his own initiative.

"Is that estuary at the junction of the Principality of the Holy Dragon and the northeast of the Empire currently under our control?"

The memory of the voyage was sealed, but now some fragments emerge from the darkness. The opportunity to break the seal seems to be because Victoria Wilder mentioned the estuary, and in order to continue to explore this mysterious past, In order to explore the actual needs of the ocean, Gao Wen needs to learn more about the current situation in that place.

After all, seven hundred years have passed. This country has experienced two civil wars, turned upside down, and located on a small estuary on a distant border ... After all these years of ups and downs, it may not be what it was.

"Nominally ... is still Empire territory," Victoria nodded, "but it has been unattended for many years. As of the last year of the Ansul, there were only a few run-down villages, and that estuary belonged in name. In a shabby Viscount leader, the Viscount leader is now assigned to the province of Basul. "

"Nominally, that's it." Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a touch of urgency and pressure.

The empire's overall situation was initially set, but the sequelae of the war still needed to be gradually closed.

The situation in the border areas has changed, and the disputed areas have been eroded by neighboring countries, or disputes with neighboring countries have occurred in the process of remeasurement of the border and the establishment of additional defenses. These are all possible.

If something really happens in this regard, it can only be "since ancient times".

"On the side of the Longfjord, an estuary should be built to serve as a foothold for exploring the ocean in the future," Gao Wen looked at Victoria slowly, "while the port opening plan on the extreme northern coastline remains unchanged, The establishment of the 'North Port' will be used to restart the northern continent route. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Wen thought about it and added: "On the side of the Longfjord, the foundation of the port should be laid. According to the standards of military ports, there will be some facilities for testing marine warships in the future ..."

Victoria raised her eyes: "A battleship ... a magical warship for marine operations?"

"Yes," Gao Wen nodded, with a little emotion, "It's not just us who can think of the ocean ... Tifeng has a longer and better coastline than Cecil, and has a lot of natural ports and offshore resources. They Sooner or later, I will set my sights on the ocean. Maybe even now.

On Victoria's usual expressionless face, her eyes could not help changing slightly.

A sense of urgency sprang up.

Gao Wen's thoughts diverged slightly after he ordered:

Holongfjord is still the territory of the Cecil Empire, but its geographical location determines that it will be more sensitive between the Holy Dragon Principality and the Cecil Empire.

Where military ports are set up, large military research and development facilities are set up, and even troops and permanent warships are stationed, the movements will not be small.

It seems necessary to take advantage of this diplomatic opportunity to have a good relationship with the Duchy of the Holy Dragon.

The good news from Victoria ... it's really timely.

...

The chaotic darkness seemed to envelop the whole world. On the flat and lacking color of the plain, the female in a white dress with a lantern stood quietly in the air, staring at the uninhabited small town dormant in the night.

This is an "imaginary number zone" located outside the dream city, which is not marked by the spiritual network and cannot be directly addressed. The ordinary residents of the dream city (permanent people) can not even perceive without authorization. The existence of this area-even if they were standing where Selena Gelfen was at this moment, they could see nothing but darkness in their vision.

This characteristic of the "imaginary number zone" effectively prevents the spread of pollution.

But the weirdness of that small town is beyond imagination. It seems to be thinking and rational. It is actively seeking a way to break through the blockade and is trying to find a way to enter the backbone structure of the spiritual network.

After a long quiet look, Selina turned her head suddenly, looking at the dim sky beside her.

A gentleman with a temperament in a white robe sketched his figure out of nothingness.

"Prince Selena, are you still monitoring the area yourself?"

"No one is better at this job than me-the ghosts in the internet don't need a break," Selina nodded slightly to Yuri, "what happened?"

"The preparations for the second expedition have been completed. I will ask when the next operation will be."

"Next nine." Selena said.

"I see," Archbishop Yuri nodded, and then his gaze followed Selina on the uninhabited town in the distance. "What has changed in this phantom town ..."

"As always, it was quiet, as if time was frozen," said Selina calmly. "The church never appeared again, and no bell rang in the town-according to the information revealed by the clergyman in the previous church, Yesterday was the day the bell rang. "

Archbishop Yuri guessed: "Perhaps ... it will only come 'live' when we enter the town."

Selina remained silent for a moment, asking, "What's changed in Sandbox One?"

"The sandbox hasn't changed, and we haven't made progress."

"... No news is the best news."

"Exactly as you said," Archbishop Yuri sighed, then took a slight step back, and the figure faded. "Then I'll go back first, and there's work on the sandbox control team."

"Let's go."

After Archbishop Yuri's breath disappeared, Selena lowered her head and looked at the lantern in her hand quietly for a long time.

It seemed that after a long time, she broke the silence softly as if to herself:

"Are you a silver lining ..."

...

The cold wind rolled over the hills in the southeast of Winter Wolf Castle. The cold wind near the end of winter is daunting. Even the soldiers stationed in this northern fortress all year round can't help shivering when the cold wind blows. .

But even so, the sentries inside and outside the main fortress stood up to the cold winds, stood upright with their best efforts, and maintained their majesty and demeanor as imperial soldiers.

Because there are special VIPs visiting this border fortress.

In the main hall of the castle, Andesa Wendell, with long silver-gray hair, wearing a lady's armor, and a sword worn around his waist, stood straight in front of the steps, in the silver-gray eyes of the same color as the long hair, full of calm .

In front of her was a team from Emperor Aldnan.

Leading the team was a beautiful woman wearing a complex and gorgeous black court dress. She was fair-skinned and tall, with black straight hair hanging down to the waist, and fine gold chains inlaid with fine rubies hanging from the hair. In those water-like eyes, Andesa Wendell's face was reflected.

The woman wearing a long black court dress with a faint smile on her face, but she exudes a calm and noble temperament, which makes people around you involuntarily pay respect, but adds a subtle sense of distance.

"His Highness Matilda," Andesa Wendell bowed in front of the Empire's Kaolin Flower, "Welcome to Winter Wolf Castle.

"Crossing here is Cecil land."
