The dragon wings swept across the sky, and the pale golden glow seemed to be split by the giant wings, turning into countless sparkling brilliance that was plated on the broad and majestic blue scales. The turbulence of magic condensed into a streamer-like streamer on the edge of the dragon wings. The trace of light outlines a magnificent arc between the clouds and the clear sky - riding on the ripples of magic, the master of the sky has crossed the borders of the continent, crossed the endless sea, and crossed the never-ending storm The barrier, under the brilliant glow of the huge sun on the horizon, flew quickly towards the extreme north.
The cold wind howled, and the biting cold air in the far north showed that the destination was approaching. The blue dragon lowered its altitude slightly, and the North Pole was reflected in its huge pale golden vertical pupils. There were many icebergs floating on the ice sea and various permanent alloy creations protruding out of the sea. Some weak and harmless creatures were jumping and playing on those icebergs and platforms. When the dragon shadow passed across the sky, some of the creatures immediately jumped into the sea to hide. They stood up, while others looked up at the sky blankly, as if they didn't know what fear was.
The continuous ice floes receded quickly in the field of vision, and the surroundings became colder and colder. But suddenly, the number of ice floes was greatly reduced, and the surrounding temperature also increased abnormally. The blue dragon was slightly The speed of flight was reduced, and at the end of her vision, a glorious and magnificent continent was floating on the empty and calm sea between glaciers.
It is a land much smaller than the Loren continent, but it still has high mountains, forests and rivers. On the edge of the continent are countless elegant towers with a metallic texture, and electric arcs between the towers. Jumping, light flowing.
On top of this, a huge shield with a scale that can stun humans and is far more spectacular than the magnificent wall extends from the tower and covers the entire continent. And under this large shield In the aerial part, you can also see a large number of silver-white devices floating in the sky hovering in specific positions, maintaining the integrity of the shield in some way. Countless shadows flying in the air travel between those devices, seemingly Busy and organized.
The blue dragon let out a low roar of pleasure and flew towards one of the areas of the large shield. When she got close to a certain distance, the large shield automatically opened a gap and a long guide The beam extended from the gap, guiding the direction of homecoming in the dim skylight, and a huge metal ring flew out of the shield, followed the guiding beam to the blue dragon, and flew with the blue dragon. .
A stream of light flashed on the surface of the metal ring, and the voice of artificial intelligence came from it: "Identity verification...expatriate, observer, first-level agent of the Mithril Treasure House...Melita Po Nia, identity verification passed, welcome home, compatriots."
The blue dragon was obviously in a very happy mood, and greeted the central artificial intelligence behind the ring: "Hi! Omega, Tallon. Is there something big going on?"
The ring paused for a moment, and then the surface flashed with light again: "Retrieval completed - the No. 2 power unit of the Environmental Control Tower was successfully replaced 72 days ago, the Senate Issue a commendation letter to construction workers; The Dome Control Center has recently completed an upgrade, and the Senate issued a commendation; the Shell Breaking Health Laboratory of the Third Incubation Center successfully improved the 6+2 malformation screening process for synthetic dragon eggs before breaking out, making it more ceremonial. The laboratory The person in charge expressed at the press conference that he did not want to alarm the Senate, but hoped to receive twelve years of paid leave. The Senate rejected the request, but still issued a document to commend him for his outstanding work results..."
"...Ha...there really isn't any news worth listening to...this bits and pieces of 'results' have been going around for how many thousands of years?" Melita Purnia, who was in the form of a blue dragon, sighed as she followed the ring towards the big shield, "Is there any news about the jury?" ”
In Tallond, dragons have two crucial management groups. The largest and most powerful one is the Senate. They are responsible for managing all internal affairs on the continent and in "Omega" " controls all the ancient technical facilities in Tallond with the help of the other, and the other is the highest council responsible for managing foreign affairs. As a senior cadre of the Mithril Treasure House, Melita usually deals with the council most often.
The ring paused again for a moment, and then responded: "The jury made a decision three days ago to deduct the ten-year bonus of Melita Pernia, the first-level agent of the Mithril Treasure House. It was decided to punish her for sabotaging without authorization..."
Melita's wings crooked and almost fell off. After finally stabilizing her body, she took a deep breath: "Okay, you don't need to say anything about this. I knew it three days ago..."
"Knowing the news about their hometown in time can help expatriates relieve their loneliness," the ring emits a monotonous synthesized sound, and gradually slows down to fit in the big guard. The opening of the shield said, "Welcome home again, Melita, and wish you a pleasant day. ”
“I shouldn’t ask you the last question. Only when you are happy can you be happy!” ”
Melita muttered, folded her wings slightly, passed through the thin film of light in the middle of the ring with ease, and instantly completed the necessary steps to return to Tallond. After a series of procedures such as sterilization and quarantine, she circled around the inside of the large shield, recalibrated her sense of direction, and quickly flew towards a majestic city built among the mountains not far away.
It was a huge city built of stone and metal, extending all the way to the sky along the towering mountains. Its thick, majestic and complex architectural style was completely different from most cities on the Loren continent, and The most distinctive thing is that the building specifications in this city are divided into two completely different types: one is extremely large in size, with a gorgeous and solemn structure, like the residence of a legendary giant, with its porch windows often twenty or thirty meters high; One type is distributed among these large buildings, built on the roofs or walls of huge houses like some kind of "decoration" attached to large buildings. Their structures are exquisite, and they have quite elegant decorations and colors. Although it is still grand in style, it looks exquisite and "cute" compared with those houses that look like giant residences.
Melita slowed down slightly over the city, and then flew straight towards a familiar direction, landing steadily on a huge gray-white terrace. After landing, she raised her head and let out a loud voice unique to the dragon: "Noretta! Noretta! I'm back! Are you at home?" Just mid-shou, a slightly annoyed voice came into her ears: "I'm at home! No need to shout so loudly!"
Melita looked around: "Where are you?"
The voice came from directly below her: "Under your feet! Lift your toes!"
Melita quickly lowered her head, her two huge eyes almost squeezing together. After a careful identification, she hurriedly moved her paws and looked at a man in white. The woman in a dress, with long pale blond hair, and a mole in the corner of her eye climbed up awkwardly from where her feet were.
"Oh... Noretta!" Melita was surprised and carefully pinched her friend with her front paws, "The first time I saw you outside of your light sleep Maintain human form - I didn't see you at all!"
"That's because you have bad eyesight!" Noretta waved her arm and easily broke away from the dragon's claws, jumping firmly to the ground. , "And of course I have to maintain my human form - today is a sacred ceremony, and this ceremony will be held in our city. Do you want me to go to the gods in the form of a dragon?"
Mei Rita's huge dragon body was shrouded in a layer of glow, and her figure quickly shrank in the glow, turning into a human form almost instantly. Listening to what her friend was saying to herself, she was startled for a moment, and then her face showed a slight expression. He said softly with some complexity: "Ah... the sacred ceremony... I almost forgot, today is the day to meet the Dragon God..."
Nuolei, who has long pale blond hair and moles on the corners of her eyes. Ta noticed Melita's expression, she pursed her lips, and finally smiled: "She will always be the god who protects us."
"Yes, she is 'our' god after all ..." Melita said, shaking her head slightly, "Let's not talk about it for now. I want to see Speaker Andal, and I will bring back a special 'mithril commission'."
" Mithril commission?" Noretta glanced at her old friend curiously, "What commission is worthy of being reviewed by the chairman of the jury?"
"Gawain, Cecil, do you remember this name? "
"That resurrected human being?" Noretta blinked, "Are you still accepting his order? Later, they dug graves all over the world to make sure that the dead clients would never come out to us to fulfill their orders..."
"That's not to say that there were no reminders from other graves in the end. "Melita waved her hand, and then her expression became slightly serious, "I'm not kidding you, this commission is really special, that human being is more interesting than you and I thought, and he is building it. The forces also emerged beyond the commentsThe development that the regiment originally expected - and most importantly, he has now noticed..."
Melita suddenly closed her mouth at the end.
But in Tallond, among the dragons, this sudden silence is already a code in itself.
Noretta frowned slightly, and then said in disbelief: "Are you sure? "
Melita nodded slightly: "Do you remember that crazy human empire? And their crazy rebellious plans - we all thought that a demonic tide completely destroyed those daring mortals and their ambitions, but in fact... their resilience and courage exceeded the imagination of all dragons..."
"Disobedience..."
White Dragon Noretta couldn't help but change her face slightly after hearing that special word, and then repeated the word softly with a hint of emotion
< p>She recalled the comments made by the Supreme Chancellor when the jury first learned that the Gondor Empire was suspected of researching the power of the Anti-God:Because the life span is short, it is full of variables, and because it is born weak And fearless, in front of God, humans are braver than dragons
"Okay, there is still some time before the ceremony, I will arrange for you to meet with Speaker Andal. "
...
In the center of this dragon city, on the top of the towering mountains, the magnificent temple reaches into the clouds.
It is daylight in the far north. During this period, the sky is shrouded in glow for half of every day. This extremely brilliant light shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the temple and into its magnificent inner hall, reflected in every inch of ancient floor tiles and every vicissitudes of pillars. Mottled shadows and highlights are cast on the sky. A woman wearing a gorgeous pale gold dress, with blond hair hanging to the ground, and a bright and graceful appearance is standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window of the palace, looking at the distant glow and overlooking the temple. The sea of clouds below, as well as the faint city buildings and lights in the sea of clouds, she has seen this scene for almost a million years.
"No matter how beautiful it is. The scenery... will eventually get boring." The woman with blond hair hanging down to the ground sighed softly, turned her head and said to the high-ranking dragon priest standing respectfully behind her, "What do you think? Herago? "
The dragon priest known as Herago lowered his head slightly, his pale golden vertical pupils hidden in the shadow of the crown: "This is because your eternity has transcended all scenery, I host. "
"...Maybe," the corners of the blonde woman's mouth were slightly raised, but it was almost impossible to tell whether it was a smile. Her voice was gentle and kind, but the voice was too perfect. , so that it makes people fearful and contradictory, "Heragor, you are the priest who has been with me for the longest time, and you no longer need to be so flattering - speaking against your will is tiring, both for the speaker and the listener. "
The Dragon Priest did not raise his head: "My respect for you comes from the bottom of my heart. "
The blond woman narrowed her eyes slightly, still smiling: "Where is the hatred? Comes from the same heart as everyone elseHeart? "
"..."
"I have put a lock on you. You should hate me. However, the sad thing is that even this hatred is locked up," the blond The woman turned back, looked at the clouds in the distance and said, "Just like this scenery that has remained unchanged for millions of years... From the day you rebelled and failed, you have been locked here forever, locked in this eternal place. In the alternation of day and night...hate me from the bottom of your heart, this is what you should do. "
"..."
"But it doesn't matter, I am still your protector. I will protect you as always, yesterday, today, and forever..."< /p>
The blond woman said softly, she turned away from the floor-to-ceiling window and walked towards the depths of the temple.
"Poor creatures, you are going to be trapped and die on this planet. . ”
Dragon Priest Herago raised his head, looked at the back of the god, stepped forward expressionlessly, and followed closely.
