Chapter 75: Make a plan
"What do you think of Mr. Ed?" Melfina asked when she saw him take the crystal bridge.
Fang Yu shook his head gently and replied: "The school is separated from the school like a sea. The technology learned by Baishu is derived from the crystal school, but it is actually related to the etheric link. It is a field where war weapons and fairies intersect. Compared to me, Miss Cui Xisi in my team may be better at this field."
"Then is this lady here?" the elf princess asked again.
"She's here, but..."
"But I can't understand this crystal bridge either. The knowledge of an alchemist does not mean that it is good at related to its field. The bridge link on this crystal bridge is almost all unfamiliar to me, but it is particularly important," Cui Xisi said behind Fang Yu. "To understand this part of the knowledge, unless you learn it from Baishu, you have to reshape it from the underlying logic, but it will take a lot of time and samples will also require experiments."
She didn't say anything later, because there was no room for this, either the former or the latter.
Melfina looked at the two of them, "That means we can't do anything about it?"
Although she said that, there was no regret in her tone, as if even the crystal tower could not operate, she actually didn't take it too seriously.
Fang Rong knew why. He held the crystal bridge in his hand with one hand, and gently groped along the lines of the crystal bridge with the other hand, as if experiencing the complex design.
At that moment, the genius thoughts of the predecessors were reflected in the complicated magic circles. He seemed to be able to talk to the craftsmen before the age just by just staring at the crystals and textures.
Of course that was just an illusion. The dead people didn't speak, they just spoke history silently.
Fang Yu quickly came to his senses, covered the crystal bridge with his hands, and said to the female knight beside him: "No, not all. But I have a question, Ms. Melfina."
Melfina was slightly stunned.
Then she chuckled softly and nodded politely to Fang Zhu: "Can you ask, Mr. Ed."
Everyone was away from the crystal tower at this moment and walked to places where craftsmen could not hear it. Fang Zhu said: "I heard you say that you have no reinforcements, so the crystal tower is not important. Why do you value this crystal bridge so much?"
Melfina looked at him silently: "I can tell you that this is for the sake of stability. As a commander, I have to prepare for both. The construction of the fortress was not planned, but if it can be realized, of course I have to pay attention to it."
"But it's just a lie."
She said softly, as if she was talking about something irrelevant. The elf princess sorted out her emotions and spoke more solemnly: "I prefer to tell the truth to you because of the evidence of guilt - I want you to help me find the hands and feet left by these people in this crystal bridge and point out the evidence of guilt hidden in it."
Fang Ling seemed to understand something, but there were more questions in his heart. He let go of his hand, glanced at the crystal bridge in his hand, and asked again: "But if it was just evidence of guilt, Ms. Melfina had to hand over this crystal bridge to the elves to get the result. There would be craftsmen among the Saint Whites who were better than me to find out what was wrong. Some of them even came from the White Tree and learned the Son of the White Tree. Isn't that true of Master Ailin Iron Heart?"
He looked at the elf female knight with suspicion.
But Melfina shook her head naturally, "Don't worry, I don't suspect there are traitors in the upper class of the Elf Court, and Master Ailin Iron Heart is absolutely reliable. It's just that I have my own ideas. Don't you want to know what those people did in it?"
Although he was just a fairy, Cui Xisi was also a craftsman after all. She could hear the other party’s implications and couldn’t help but look at the somewhat bold elf lady in surprise:
"Wait, you mean?"
Fang Yu's heart moved and immediately figured out what the other party wanted to do. The crystal bridge would amplify its signal through the crystal tower, and then link the signal into the ubiquitous Ethernet vein underground of the giant tree hill. This etheric vein flowed deep into the center of the Gus disaster domain. The elves established a crystal network here to investigate the abnormal flow of the etheric vein in its gray domain.
And if those people are going to do something from it, where will they place this signal? Will the signal mixed in it flow along the etheric vein and towards the source of the confluence?
He raised his head and asked Melfina, "What's the source?"
"Mr. Ed is indeed a knowledgeable man, and he immediately understood what we thought."
But after saying this, Melfina shook her head a little regretfully, "It's a pity that I don't know, this is the reason why the Son of Light has built a group of crystal towers here. We have long found out that the etheric veins in this area gathered abnormally towards the center of the Gus disaster area, but we cannot find out what is in the center of it."
"In other words, you have actually discovered the abnormality of the etheric flow, but why haven't you done it for a long time?" Fang Yu asked, "I mean, you have never made this discovery public."
Fang Yu couldn't help but remember that before they arrived in this gray area, the general view of the Asan Scar and the Gus disaster area was that there was no connection between the two.
The adventurers of the guild went back, and the people who learned geology did not come to any conclusions, but such a simple and extraordinary thing could not be discovered by predecessors. The only possibility is that the elves hid a lot from them.
But why? The "death epidemic" is a disaster faced by the entire giant tree hill. Logically speaking, the Saint Whites, who are more closely related to the Holy Tree Teraka, should pay more attention to it than ordinary people.
What made them slow to move and choose to conceal the truth from the outside world?
"Because of two reasons," Melfina stopped and said, "The first is that when the 'death epidemic' began to spread, people generally did not realize that this was a disaster closely related to the ether and the starlight. We were just thinking that the Holy Tree Teraka was suffering from a strange disease, but our druids and the unicorn girl in the Temple of Nature were helpless."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Her eyes looked into the crystalline crystal, and the dim starlight reflected in her deep eyes, as if it was slightly flashing. "And later, all kinds of rumors spread everywhere, and some people deliberately pointed their finger at the Saint Crown, who had not returned from the hill of the giant tree for a long time. The people in the Shadow Tree Temple began to walk around, and rumors about life and death also appeared on this land."
"It's the Silver Wind Watcher," Tianlan inserted in angrily, regardless of her brother and the Twelve Colored Iris were also one of them. "It was them who spread rumors about Sister Aitela, these damn guys."
Fang Yu also frowned. The Super Athletic Alliance was everywhere. If it weren't for them, the Seven Seas Brigade would not have had to work so much to mix into the complex political struggle of the Giant Tree Hill.
But he also understood that the Elf Court was not a good person, and he could only listen to half of the woman's words, including the fact that they did not announce the truth to the public. Although there are reasons mentioned here, there are also some elements of competing for the right to speak with Yinfeng Port.
Otherwise, he would not believe it if they had no time to disclose the news to the public in a few months from finding out the truth to using the army.
The elf princess seemed to see what he was thinking from the expression on Fang Yu's face, but she didn't care too much, so she just smiled and continued to say:
"That is why we didn't really start investigating the Ethernet veins of this land until not long ago and got some results. We found that the Ethernet veins were gathering in a strange pattern, including our current place."
"Strange," Fang Lingdao, "In theory, the Craftsman Association will regularly check the flow of an Ethernet vein on a floating continent. In theory, those who have mastered the crystal tower network will not be able to miss the abnormal phenomenon here."
"This is at the foot of the holy tree," said Melfina. "It is a forbidden zone for the elves. Even the craftsmen's association cannot explore the Ethernet veins below the root system of Teraka. This is the agreement between us and mortals."
"And this is just one of them, the second is-" She turned around and looked at Fang Rong and others, "In this kind of phenomenon, there are actually artificial factors."
"Artificial factor?"
"Yes," the Elf Princess nodded slightly, "not long ago, our patrol caught some sneaky people in this area. We found them building small crystal towers in the forest and guiding the flow of the etheric veins—"
"Wait," Fang Rong called her, "What do you mean is that someone is directing the etheric flow to the center of the subsandra traces. Has the etheric flow in this area only started to change in recent times?"
Melfina replied: "It may be true, and that's why we haven't noticed strange changes here."
"This is impossible," Fang Yu shook his head, "Not to mention that time does not match, when did you discover all this? As far as I know, the 'death plague' of the giant tree hill began to spread a year ago, but it only spread rapidly in the past six months. If the etheric vein flow began to change direction in recent times, it should have nothing to do with the origin of the gray domain."
"I have never said there is any connection between them, Mr. Ed," Melfina shook her head, "but you should be clear that the change of ether is not something that can be done by manpower alone, otherwise the white tree would have learned to sort out the flow of ether in the hills of giant trees. The factor of human power is at best just to take advantage of the situation, and the change of etheric veins is a sign of the depths of the subsandra, where the center of the Gus disaster, is there anything that can be accepted for them to gather-"
Fang Yu was silent for a while and said, "So what you mean is, those cultists know what is in the center?"
"They have at least their purpose," Melfina smiled slightly. "A part of this plan is to draw these people into the trap. As you can see, they move when they hear the news, like smelling the flies in the crack of the egg. This information is actually what we have leaked, and as I said to you, these people are long under our control."
"This is also one of the reasons. We deliberately limit the scope of news flow, because once we attract too many people, it will not only be detrimental to identify the real goal from it, but it will be easier to alarm the enemy."
Melfina looked at them: "How about, Mr. Ed, can this explanation satisfy you?"
This is indeed a very convincing reason, not to mention that the facts are in front of them, they cannot help but believe them. However, Fang Yu still has a layer of caution. It is hard to say that they do not have selfish intentions in the relationship between the Elf Court and the Silver Wind Port.
What's more, if they were as selfless as this elf lady said, they should have stood up to refute the rumors for Miss Aitela. Even if they had doubts at the beginning, the truth should be revealed now.
But the Elf Court lets this matter ferment, to put it bluntly, it is just to reap the benefits of the fisherman. They are secretly accelerating their exploration of the Gus gray area, which is exactly the case.
Fang Yuxi remembers it very clearly that when the Adventurers Association accepted the task, the task said that they participated in the extermination of the peripheral gray area of the abnormally expanded Gus gray area.
"So," he said, "this is what Master Ailin told us. If you want to know the truth, you must go to the center of the forest? So in fact, the elves don't know what is there, they just think that the source must be closely related to the abnormal movements in the disaster area of Gus."
"Don't forget the Grey Domain of Ninimer, Mr. Ed, that is also a human-made disaster domain. I guess these people must have information we don't know. They will not do useless work. Since such a large amount of money is spent, they must have their own demands." Melfina replied calmly, "Master Ailin will not lie. The promise he made will be fulfilled, and lead the Son of Light to launch a general attack on the Disaster Domain, paying such a great price to approach the central area of the Disaster Domain."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Now this passage has been opened, we can learn the truth by going further," she smiled again, "Are you not interested in this?"
"But the disaster area is in that place, and Gus's disaster branch will not move its own position. Why do we have to use this crystal bridge and go directly to it?"
"That's different," Melfina shook her head, "Mr. Ed himself is a craftsman, of course she knows that including the flow direction of the ether is only a broad range. If it is so easy to determine its location, we don't need to build so many networks of crystal towers, let alone delay the offensive until today."
"And even so," she said, "we must go hand in hand and get as close to the center of the disaster as possible, but this is a very risky thing, and Mr. Ed has experienced the dangers before. So every step of our plan is just a backup, including this crystal."
"And every step we go," Melfina sighed, "there are huge prices. Although these prices make sense, just as each of us may die in this war, if we have such a shortcut in our hands, what reason do we not use it?"
Fang Rong looked at the crystal bridge in his hand. He was sure that the elf lady in front of him had not told the truth to him completely. Even if an ordinary elf commander had such authority, including her identity?
"To determine the direction the cultists sent the information to, they must place it in the crystal tower intact and use a signal amplifier to transmit it into the crystal net vein," Fang Yu held up the crystal bridge and asked the latter on purpose, "Ms. Melfina, do you know what this means?"
"This means that the plan of these people may be successful, because everything we do is to reproduce the purpose they were originally intended to achieve," the Elf Princess smiled. "Of course I know the risks, but isn't Mr. Ed here, so what I want to ask is, what do Mr. Ed thinks about it?"
Fang Yu once again covered his hand on the crystal. The elf lady's bold thoughts made him excited. Of course he had ideas, and in fact, from the other party's mention of this possibility, he actually had a complete set of plans.
"But I need a helper," he suddenly said, "this helper cannot be my own, because Miss Cui Xisi and my people must help me control the crystal network."
Fang Zhu picked up the crystal and looked at the elf female knight: "I need someone to place this crystal bridge in the crystal tower and activate it to confirm that it is being transmitted into the Ethernet vein."
Fang Yu continued, "Then, I will find a way to control it, and after determining its flow direction, I will recycle it from the Ethernet pulse to prevent the other party's plan from fulfilling."
Melfina looked at the young human alchemist who exuded strong confidence, although she didn't know how much ability it would take to block a signal from the Ethernet vein.
But it is unheard of to simply locate an insignificant signal from the Ethernet pulse, confirm its flow direction, and limit its range of movement.
At least Master Ailin himself would definitely not be able to do it, otherwise they would have done it like this long ago.
"I agree," said His Highness the Great Princess with a firm heart, "I will be fully responsible for all the accidents and possible responsibilities of the entire plan, but I have a small request."
Fang Zhu looked at the other party.
"I will act with you later." She said.
"Wait," Fang Yu choked, almost unresponsive, "Ms. Ms. Melfina, what are you talking about when you act together?"
"Of course, it means that after you confirm the signal, you set out to the disaster area center. During this itinerary, I want to act with you. This is my only request."
"But you are the commander," Fang Yu couldn't help but say, "Ms. Ms. Melfina, have you said that the mission here is so important, do you really want to do it with us?"
"I mean, what does this mean to you?"
"My mission is over," Melfina shook her head. "How long it takes to stay here will not affect the plan itself. My deputy is completely competent. As for my identity, it doesn't matter. Nothing is more important than confirming this plan."
Fang Yu looked at the other party silently. How could a front-line commander have such great power to change the part of the plan so hasty.
However, that is not actually important to them. It is something that the elves need to get a headache. He thought about the other party’s request and it was not difficult for the Qihai Brigade to accept, so he nodded slightly after a moment of silence.
"Then let's make a decision," Melfina smiled slightly, "you go and prepare, Mr. Ed, I will let my subordinates cooperate with you."
...
But obviously, the so-called cooperation between the Elf Lady was not so smooth.
"This is impossible," the craftsman was the first to question, and he questioned loudly, "I have never heard of such information from the Ethernet pulse."
His loud voice attracted everyone's attention, which made Fang Yu a little unable to come to Taiwan.
He coughed softly before the craftsman on the opposite side woke up and realized that he was talking to a craftsman who was much better than him.
But even though he clearly realized the difference between himself and a Hailin Morning Star winner, he still couldn't help but ask questions about his professionalism:
"Mr. Ed, you should know that this is a fantasy."
"No, it is actually possible," Cui Xisi, who got the prompt from Fang Ling, explained. "We just need to calculate the link that the signal may use in advance and block all its possibilities with multiple parallel techniques, and it is possible to intercept it before it goes deeper into the Ethernet pulse."
“Multiple parallelism?”
The craftsman thought for a moment. He did not expect this possibility, but multiple parallelism is not a skill that ordinary people can use, let alone one or two.
And there is another more realistic question here, he said with a hint of dismay: "It's theoretically, but how much computing power does that need?"
"The Ethernet vein is different from the creation networks we have seen in our daily lives. The craftsman's planetary furnace is just built by simulating its underlying logic. After nearly infinite simplification, in the face of the real Ethernet vein, mortal calculations cannot be effective."
"It is still possible to limit its scope." Fang Yu said - but of course it is impossible, including him and Miss Tata. It is the underlying logic of the same world, unless they are at the level of the Creator.
But he can cheat, and it is difficult to intercept information, but it is too easy to find someone who can freely travel through the sea of light. As long as there is such a dragon knight, it is enough.
At least it sounds much simpler than the former, doesn't it?
But the craftsman was wrong. He looked at Fang Yu and Cui Xisi and suddenly remembered something, "Wait, I remember, this lady is a fairy envoy, if all of us gathered computing power together like on the battlefield..."
Cui Xisi's face turned pale.
That feeling was not good at all, and she never wanted to do it again.
But Fang Yu tried hard to wink at the fairy lady. No matter whether the other party was thinking correctly, it would be great if they could convince themselves.
We can only suffer another hardship, our fairy lady.
After all, they really need these craftsmen to start the crystal tower together and place the signal in the crystal bridge in the crystal net vein, so that it can amplify exponentially.
Chapter completed!
