[Chapter 224: Pursuers from the Eternal Night Empire]
After checking for a while, there was no more harvest, so the dark elf siblings and David and others decided to leave.
For everyone, this expedition was very rewarding. The dark elf siblings learned a lot of hidden history from the mouth of Elfrida, the high priestess of the goddess of night.
They also learned about the “origin” of the dark elves, their past glory and lows, which is actually what Cecil, a historian and archaeologist, pursues.
And for David, he gained more!
The various situations on the Brunnia continent now seem to be formed under the deliberate guidance of the gods. So what role did the gods play? The
black hand hidden behind the scenes? The guide who ensures a certain balance?
Does the appearance of the orcs mean the arrival of a new round of reshuffles, just like the dark elves and humans back then?
Let’s not talk about anything else, there is a situation that David is particularly concerned about.
When the dark elves entered the Brunnia continent, it was the goddess of night who protected them and won the rule of the entire continent. At that time, the priests of the goddess of night had a unique status in the entire dark elf community.
But because of this, when humans appeared and the Goddess of Night no longer responded to her believers, the dark elves had no resistance to humans who were protected by gods such as the God of War and the Goddess of Harvest.
“Did humans discover the drawbacks? That’s why the temple was born? I feel that some situations don’t make sense…” David couldn’t figure out the specific situation. He needed more information about the temple to make a more accurate judgment.
In addition, what gods protected the orcs who suddenly appeared on the Brunnia continent and began to attack the human territory?
“Maybe the orcs are not as easy to defeat as they are showing now.”
Through this adventure, David seemed to see the black hand hidden outside the Brunnia continent. He found that it would be more difficult for him to achieve his original goal than he had expected.
“A little higher? Do you think it’s just a little?”
When returning in the Quinjet, Tony Stark did not continue to sit in the driver’s seat and turned on the autopilot of the plane.
He and Steve, Laura and others were talking to David about today’s discovery.
When he heard David say that the difficulty had increased, but it was not a big problem, he rolled his eyes.
“What else should I say? Hey, man, I think my original plan won’t work. That goal is bullshit. It’s impossible to build the Winter Empire. Let’s give up that unrealistic goal, right?”
David spread his hands and deliberately put on an expression, ‘After we return to Winter Town, we will pack up our belongings and go back to our own worlds. You and Steve will go back to the Marvel Universe, and Sylvanas and Jaina will go back to Azeroth.’
As for David? He is relatively casual and can choose a world he likes to move to.
However, David, who gave up his hometown, will most likely lose his golden finger, and there will be no chance for everyone to meet again.
David’s script of the Empire Age, which started from scratch but collapsed halfway, made Tony even more speechless.
“Well, I just want to say that the difficulty has increased a lot, not to say that we have to give up.” In fact, Tony thinks that the current situation is more exciting and challenging.
What kind of challenge is it to rule only a backward continent and build an advanced empire? He always felt that with the help of a genius like himself, it would only be a matter of time for David to unify the Brunnia continent.
Now that he knows that everything that happens on the Brunnia continent is manipulated by the gods, this difficulty is worth his challenge.
As for danger? What is he afraid of? His hometown is not in Winter Town.
“How is your satellite going?”
“I wanted to build it slowly, but now I may have to speed up the progress.”
David nodded. After the satellite is launched, Winter Town’s communications, weapons and other equipment will be upgraded. At the same time, Winter Town will gain a pair of eyes in the sky, which can better grasp the situation of the entire continent and even the entire world.
“Speaking of which, if the satellite is launched, will it attract the attention of the gods?”
“…”
Steve’s question made David and Tony silent. The two of them also thought of this problem. The
two also thought of other effects: Even if we don’t consider gods or something, will the satellite attract the attention of the dark elves after it is launched?
“Then we have to launch it!” There is no need to stop developing because of the existence of external enemies.
The more enemies there are, the more we cannot stop moving forward.
David plans to use the launch of satellites to test whether these so-called gods exist in this plane or in another plane?
Tony looked at him, and the genius seemed to think the same. He didn’t even wait for David to speak before he said he knew what he was going to do.
“I will carry out a new round of transformation and upgrades. The new satellite will be a multifunctional satellite with two-way detection.” In addition to observing the land under our feet, it will also observe outer space.
When launching, various detection and observation devices will be turned on. If the launch of the satellite attracts an attack, the new satellite must also ensure that it can transmit all the data back to Winter Town before it is completely destroyed.
The remaining stealth technology must be used. If possible, Tony wants Steve to add some defensive spells to the satellite to prevent observation from the mysterious side.
“I’ll go back and ask my teacher. I’m not sure that the spells I cast can really work.”
Steve didn’t think he could hide from the observation of the gods, although he didn’t know how powerful the gods of this world were! But he himself was not very good at this kind of spells, so it would be better to ask Jaina and Medivh next to him for help.
“If you need help, you can come to me.”
Medivh didn’t speak a word and stayed quietly aside.
But he heard the conversation between the few people clearly, and Tony was relieved when he suddenly spoke at this time.
Or, Tony wanted to ask Medivh for help from the beginning, but the relationship between the two was not so familiar, so he deliberately talked to Steve next to Medivh about this.
“I have an idea now.” David was silent for a long time, not in a daze, he was thinking about a relatively safe and less risky plan.
After thinking for a while, he really had a plan.
To put it simply, Tony will make a new armor or steel soldier.
This armor can be remotely controlled and has the ability to fly to synchronous orbit. It has optical invisibility, anti-detection, anti-magic detection and other capabilities. It is best to create the style of dark elves or temples, and then fly alone to high altitudes to conduct some tests – David has confirmed that the dark elves have no artificial satellites.
If it successfully reaches the synchronous orbit and is not attacked, whether it is discovered but those beings don’t care; or it is not discovered at all, there should be no problem for Winter Town to launch another satellite.
If it is destroyed as soon as it flies up or attracts some special existence, it means that Winter Town is a suicidal act to launch a satellite.
“There should be no problem with this plan.” Steve felt that these gods should not pay so much attention to this world through the previous behavior of the goddess of night who wanted to find an agent. The gods
should not be in the same dimension as the Brunnia continent where they are now.
Steve didn’t dare to guarantee it. Maybe those so-called gods live in this dimension, but they use that method because they are very far away.
“Anyway, let’s try it out first!”
After the Quinjet returned to Winter Town, Tony began designing and manufacturing his new armor. Steve, Jaina, and Medivh were all pulled into the laboratory to help him make new armor.
Medivh and Jaina were willing to help, in fact, they also wanted to explore the world more and understand the “real appearance” of this world.
By the way, they also began to design the anti-magic defense facilities of Winter Town, focusing on spells such as teleportation.
As for David, after returning to Winter Town, he chatted with Cecil and Enid, the brother and sister.
The historical knowledge Cecil obtained this time is not a good thing for the Evernight Empire established by the dark elves. Cecil and his sister, who have mastered this historical information, are afraid that they will not be welcomed by the people of the Evernight Empire – the probability of being taken to the execution ground seems to be higher under the attention of the people.
“…” After listening to David’s words, Cecil also realized that what he found was not the truth, but poison. As a scholar, he seemed to be supposed to bring his discovery back to the Evernight Empire.
But as a dark elf with an IQ far above average, he would never do such a stupid thing.
He also realized why many of the materials he found had many deletions and conflicts. He was not the best historian among the dark elves. Some dark elves had noticed something long ago, but these dark elves and their discoveries were all wiped out by the Evernight Empire.
“What are your plans next?”
“Enid and I will go to the Lost Land.”
“Oh?”
“I really want to know how many ‘fallen’ dark elves actually just know the truth.” Cecil also gave another reason: “If I go to the Lost Land and become a ‘fallen’ dark elf, the Evernight Empire should not continue to track down Enid and me, and then bring more trouble to your town.”
Cecil felt that if his judgment was correct, the troops chasing his brother and sister should be on the way. He didn’t want to cause more trouble to David and Winter Town.
David was a little surprised by Cecil’s choice. He thought that this dark elf would ask him for help? It seems that he underestimated him.
At this moment, Eva suddenly opened the door of the reception hall and walked in: “Dark elf warships appeared on the Winter River and launched an attack on Arcee…”
She paused for a second, as if she was listening to the report from the headset, and then continued: “Skyfire and Arcee fought back, and the enemy ships have been destroyed.”
