Chapter 589 — A Distant Communication
Blade of Dawn · Page 4 of 4
A few minutes later, a high-ranking elf in a pale gold robe and a crown of flowers and leaves hurried toward the heart of the Sunvault Hall—the bedchamber of Queen Belantia.
Belantia was being dressed by her attendants for rest, but she had already sensed faintly that the antenna arrays of the Sunvault Hall were running abnormally. Just as she was about to ask what was happening, her trusted minister appeared before her, and she rose at once: "What has happened?"
"Your Majesty, the communication link to the Great Wall has suddenly been restored—the signal comes from the north. High Courier Suo You and the human duke Gao Yang Cecil wish to speak with you."
"Suo You and Duke Cecil..." Belantia's brows could not help but lift slightly, but she quickly asked, "Was it not said that the communication functions of the Sentinel Towers would not repair themselves until at least next spring?"
"The signal was not sent by a Sentinel Tower—it is some manner of human communications technology," the chancellor lowered his head. "High Courier Suo You states that an emergency has arisen, and that she had no choice but to agree to the humans establishing an emergency channel."
"...I understand," said Belantia, well acquainted with Suo You's principles; she did not dwell on the matter in the slightest. She waved her attendants away and stepped forward. "Lead the way. Route the communication to the main control room."
"Yes."
