The Sentinel was a thorny problem—even dead, it was still a thorny problem.
The Rune Stones still remaining in the Azure Network were an unexpected nuisance. Yet, as Ophelia had said, with the current technological level of mortals—even counting the sirens, an alien civilization—it was almost an impossible task to salvage every last Rune Stone. No one knew how many "stones" the Dark Priests had thrown in. No one knew where those "stones" had drifted to. No one knew how vast the Azure Network truly was. It was an unfortunate but ironclad fact.
So the only thing Gawain could do now was learn as much as possible about those Rune Stones and keep track of their movements. If possible, he would "control" those dangerous things through remote Signal Transmission. If a dangerous factor could not be eliminated, then at the very least, it had to be made controllable.
Besides, if this thing could truly be brought under control, it would undoubtedly be very useful.
"The Sentinel's method of controlling the Rune Stones was clearly some form of remote signal-based 'remote control,'" Ophelia said, voicing her thoughts. "And given that the Sentinel was using a mortal body at the time, while the Dark Priests under its command were also mortals, this 'remote control' should not have exceeded mortal capabilities. Its technological level could not have surpassed what those Dark Priests were capable of participating in. In summary, I believe a plan to control those Rune Stones through remote connection is feasible.
"Of course, it may require a lengthy cracking process. We are dealing with a completely unknown technology, and the Sentinel clearly encrypted all Signal Transmission to the Rune Stones..."
Gawain's tone was grave, his expression solemn. "Is there anything that can speed up the process?"
"Samples. More Rune Stone samples—those
