Although Tyr herself often feels unreliable, at least this time, the advice she gave is quite reliable in Gawain's opinion.
Even if the "Ultimate Book" is really a relic of an ancient civilization that has been completely lost, those dragons who make a fortune by keeping people's property and waiting for their clients to die probably also know about it. Origin - maybe they can still get a good one out of the warehouse...
To be honest, Gawain is still quite upset about accidentally destroying the Book of Ultimates.
After returning to Cecil Palace, he immediately contacted the senior agent through the Mithril Ring.
Then just as expected, the Blue Dragon lady appeared in front of him in less than thirty minutes - as always, she was immediately available and responded quickly.
"The Mithril Treasure House is pleased to serve you," Melita Pernia stood in front of Gawain, her appearance was covered by a lavender veil, only her slightly curved eyes showed a smile, "Do you need to deposit and withdraw items this time, or do you need to consult for business, or... is it still express delivery?"
"Don't talk about these things for now," Gawain waved his hand and couldn't help but ask what he had already asked. The question I want to ask is, "Why do you come so quickly every time - as if you have always lived around me? There are no major historical events for you to observe, so do you have nothing else to do? ?"
Melita's professional smile seemed to be stiff for a moment, but looking at it again it was just an illusion. Her smile was still as warm as the spring breeze: "You are a key customer of Mithril Treasure House. Of course I will receive extra attention - but it is really a coincidence that I am near you this time. Please don't worry, my work will not be delayed. Every employee of Mithril Treasure House is dedicated to their duties."
< p>Looking at Melita's trustworthy and steady eyes, Gawain could only believe what the other party said, but he couldn't help but look at the other party up and down, and asked: "I still have a question - maybe It’s a bit offensive, but is this the only thing you wear?”Even on this cold winter day, Melita is still wearing her iconic purple gauze dress with a hint of coquettishness. , Gawain didn’t pay much attention to it in the past, but today there were icicles hanging on the street lamps in the city, and almost everyone he saw was wearing winter clothes - except Kamel and Mr. Nicholas Egg - Therefore, seeing the agent lady in front of me again, the feeling of dissonance became particularly obvious.
Melita probably didn’t expect that Gawain’s questions today would be so sharp. She was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she smiled a little stiffly: “...You should know that I am a giant. Dragon, for me, the current human form is just for the convenience of moving in human society. I... am not very keen on modifying my human posture."
"So that's it," Gawain. Nodding, "Sorry, I asked some rude questions."
"It's okay, just treat it as a chat between friends, I don't care," Melita smiled and shook her head, "Then you Looking for it todayI'm here, what's the matter? "
" It's a consultation, we got something recently, but no one knows its origin, but I think if it's a dragon clan with a long history... maybe it can provide some help. "
"Thank you for your trust, but I still want to remind you in advance that the Dragon Clan may know more things, but they don't know everything, and they can't tell you everything," Melita As he spoke, there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes, "So... what is it specifically? "
"It's a book, but it's not here. You have to take a trip with me," Gawain stood up and motioned for Melita to follow him. "I'll tell you about us on the way. How did you get it..."
With a team of followers, Gawain led Melita all the way out of the royal area, and soon came to the vicinity of the Magical Technology Research Institute. On the way, he asked The other party briefly introduced the origin of the Ultimate Book, and also talked about what happened near Thorin Castle - Miss Dragon was obviously very interested in the latter. After hearing how Bertila transformed into the Thorin Giant Tree, After that, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing: "Alas... I saw that giant tree when I was flying in the sky. It was so incredible that even the dragons were surprised... But I didn't expect that tree. This is how it came about. ”
“The final death of all things will pay the price with their own lives and flesh and blood, but what remains in the wasteland is still disturbing. A group of mutant druids who can survive in the demonic environment, I really don’t know what they are brewing at the moment," Gawain said with a frown, "With your ability, there is no way to fly over the magnificent wall to explore the situation inside? ”
Gawain wanted to use the power of Melita, the dragon, to find out what was going on in the Gondor wasteland. After all, that wasteland was dominated by a powerful interference energy field, and even his satellite monitoring He couldn't see its internal situation clearly, but he also knew that he and Mithril Treasure House only had a distant "friendship". He could neither give orders to Melita, nor could he issue such "beyond the scope of service" to Mithril Treasure House. ", so she just said it casually without much expectation.
But after hearing Gawain's words, Melita thought seriously for two seconds, nodded and said: "Actually, I can fly over that barrier - my limit flight altitude is enough to cross the barrier. "
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise a hint of expectation: "Then..."
"But if you fly in, you will die. "Melita continued.
Gawain: "..."
Then what else is there to say! Humans can do it too - with the control center over the elves After docking, a temporary entrance is opened on the barrier. Gawain and a group of infantry can walk into the barrier with a swagger, but what's the use - they are dead...
" In fact, you may not necessarily die," Melita seemed to feel that her answer was not professional enough, and then added, "It's just that the danger is very, very high, and the chaotic magic environment is also very harmful to the dragons.The thunderstorm environment in the wasteland clouds is the biggest threat to the wasteland from the air, and there are countless aberrations and energy hurricanes on the ground. According to our estimates, even young dragons who have received combat training will The twenty-four-hour mortality rate after entering the central area of Gondor Wasteland is close to 90%..."
Gawain thought about it and felt that what Melita said was no different from just now. ——Still dead.
"Forget it," he waved his hand, "I just mentioned it casually, don't take it seriously. ”
As they spoke, they had arrived at the door of the laboratory where the Ultimate Book was stored.
The accompanying guards and attendants took over the defense at the door of the laboratory, and the staff responsible for guarding the facility Opening the door to the laboratory, Gawain led Melita into the tightly protected room, and the Ultimate Book was still lying quietly on the round platform in the center of the room, protected by a circle of fences and a layer of protection. Protected by a shield
Gawain pointed to the big black book on the round platform: "That's it, you..." As he spoke, he looked at Mei beside him. Rita, but the last half of his sentence was stuck in her throat.
Melita was staring at the Ultimate Book on the round platform. The dragon lady always maintained a calm tone. Feng Qing had disappeared without knowing when. She barely concealed the solemnity and vigilance in her eyes. That serious look made Gawain realize one thing in an instant -
Melita knew The secret of the "Ultimate Book"!
"Looking at you, you probably know the origin of the Ultimate Book," Gawain quickly suppressed his surprise and spoke to regain Melita's attention. “It seems that I really found the right person this time. "
Melita suddenly woke up from her trance. She suddenly turned her head and stared at Gawain, her eyes burning and her tone extremely serious: "You just said that this book is from the lair of the Death Society of All Things. Found it? The Death Society has been using this book to develop itself over the past hundreds of years and formulate various plans that can affect the situation on the continent? "
Gawain looked at Melita seriously, deliberately silent for two seconds before slowly nodding, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the origin of this book? Why are you so nervous? "
At this moment, Melita seemed to be caught in hesitation and entanglement. After half a minute of thinking and silence, she shook her head gently: "...I don't know whether I should or not. Saying this to you...but I want to tell you, it is very dangerous, very, very dangerous to the process of civilization, and you should stay away from it as much as possible, and those believers of the death of all things...fortunately, their thinking is distorted and their actions lack logic. , perhaps this is why they failed to fully utilize the effect of this book, otherwise this continent... would be in much greater trouble! "
This agent of the mithril treasure trove has obviously become nervous and vigilant to a certain extent, so much so that she even forgot to add the professional word "you" when talking to Gawain.
p>
Gawain didn’t pay attention to the small change in Melita’s title, he just said it lightlyShe reminded Miss Dragon who seemed a little too nervous: "It has been scrapped."
"No matter what, you'd better not continue to contact..." Melita said subconsciously, but said He reacted halfway through, "Huh? You said it was scrapped?"
"Yes, although I don't know the reason, it is completely unusable," Gao Wen said without changing his face, "If If you don’t believe it, you can see for yourself.”
As he spoke, he lifted the safety barrier of the experimental platform. After the steel railings and energy shields were closed, he reached for the black leather book. The book, but before handing it to Melita, his movements suddenly stopped: "Let me confirm first - you won't destroy this book immediately after getting it, right?"
< p>Judging from Melita's nervous and vigilant reaction, Gawain is really worried about this."I swear by the glory of the dragon and my name," Melita said immediately and seriously, "I will not do such a thing without permission - I am just confirming its status."< /p>
Gawain decided to believe the other party.
On the one hand, it’s because Melita’s oath sounds really serious. On the other hand, the dragon lady doesn’t seem to be such a reckless person. Of course, the more important reason is that she is right. Confidence in one's own strength - to destroy an ancient artifact before a legendary powerhouse can react, even if the giant dragon takes action, it is not so easy to succeed.
Melita got the big black book. Her breathing quickened slightly, and her expression was serious and nervous, as if she was holding a half-ton aerial bomb in her hands - and the aerial bomb had been deactivated. Insurance.
She opened the book and saw messages indicating that the connection was disconnected, and red warning characters filled her field of vision.
Gawain felt that this feeling was probably the same as seeing 404 everywhere...
"...It is indeed unusable," after flipping through it several times quickly, Meili said Tacai finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in a lighter tone, "But you are wrong about one thing. It is not broken, at least not physically broken, but... the end result is almost the same, it is unusable, and theoretically No one can restore it to its previous state, unless... no, it's nothing."
Although Gawain was curious about the content behind the other party's "unless", he was more concerned about this ultimate book at the moment. What exactly is it: "Now can you tell me, what is the origin of this book?"
Melita pondered for two seconds, and through the thin veil, Gawain could vaguely see She must have bit her lip - after this obvious hesitation, the senior agent softly exhaled: "You should know that a war broke out between the Dragon Clan and a certain civilization on the Loren continent in ancient times, right? ..."
"A battle against the tide?" Gawain reacted immediately.
"Yes, I mentioned it to you..." Melita said solemnly, "And I also told you that in the history of the Dragon Clan, that war was called 'Reverse War'. tideChaos, the reason why it is called Chaos, is because it is far from being as simple as a war. It is caused by a certain race that is too reckless and takes the wrong development path, which almost makes the whole world catastrophic. Crisis, and the book you found..."
Melita gently raised the big black book in her hand and shook it in mid-air.
"It's against the tide. Made by the Empire. ”
Gawain’s eyes widened.
This ancient secret that he had been curious about for a long time, and which was suspected to be related to the Black Trap, actually used this at this moment. This way reveals a glimmer of the veil!
“Can I ask more? He looked into Melita's eyes and said, "Why do you say this book is very dangerous? What is the purpose of creating this book against the tide of the empire?" "
"Stealing knowledge," Melita said calmly, "stealing knowledge beyond their control, and this knowledge beyond their control ultimately almost destroyed the future of the entire world. "
Steal knowledge!!
This simple word flashed through Gawain's mind like lightning, causing a storm in his heart.
If it were anyone else, he probably wouldn’t associate anything with Melita’s simple word, but he does know what the data source linked to the Ultimate Book is——
