Melita left.
The refractive stance obscured the huge body of the dragon, and a sourceless strong wind suddenly swept through the sky of Cecil City. There were vague twisted ripples in the background of clouds and skylight. It passed by in a flash, but except for a few strong men and the sentry tower dedicated to detecting magic invisible units, no one knew that a giant dragon had visited this city.
Gawain stood in front of the gate of the Magical Technology Research Institute, looking up at the direction Melita left, and only looked away after a long time.
The Empire Against the Tide...The Ultimate Book...the knowledge stolen from the satellite group...
He carefully reviewed the newly collected information and sketched it in his mind After thinking for a long time about the outlines of gods and ancient history, he smiled and shook his head, looking back at the Magical Technology Research Institute behind him.
Hundreds of researchers are busy in this facility. More than a dozen large and small laboratories and project teams are operating in it. In the Mind Network, the Origin Laboratory has several Hundreds of simulation experiments, in the workshop of the Machinery Manufacturing Institute, the collision of gears and levers continues day and night. In Saint-Sunil, in Luan City, in the Mages Association and the Scholars Association, countless people full of wisdom and knowledge are gathering, Gathering the esoteric knowledge scattered in human society, and redrawing the fragmented ancient technology...
All of this is promoted by thousands of people, and is driven by the entire Cecil What is jointly promoted by society originates from people and is used by people. It is not a technology dug from the sky from the ruins of aliens. It is not a blueprint drawn out of thin air by anyone in the territory. It is not a miracle or a gift.
......
The giant dragon flies across the vast clear sky of winter, the dioptric stance gradually dissipates, clouds and sunlight intersect, casting mottled light and shadow on the blue scales, the wilderness and hills The scene was projected in the crystal-like eyeballs. This powerful king of the sky circled twice in the air, then lowered his head and rushed towards the earth like a meteorite.
After an almost thrilling gliding and deceleration, the blue dragon collided with a century-old giant tree and broke the hundred-meter-high giant tree in half. Then the unbalanced body began to shake. As the mountain shook and rolled forward, thunderous noises continued to sound. Countless giant trees and solid rocks were torn apart by the impact, and a deep ravine nearly half a kilometer long was plowed out of the earth.
The blue dragon finally stopped at the foot of a cliff. After half a minute of breathing, she struggled to hold up her head. Countless earth, rocks, branches and leaves fell from her body, and several terrible scars flowed from her body. Hot, shimmering blood.
The implants and modified glands throughout the dragon's body immediately started working to repair this powerful and tough body. Melita raised her head, and the scales near her neck opened like some kind of heat dissipation device. , the metallic lining and the radiant pipes and interfaces were exposed under the scales, and streams of high-heat steam spurted out from the gaps in these implants, making the blue dragon couldn't help but hum.
"Damn...I don't like boosters...but the auxiliary heart I'm using now is a limited edition..."
Melita muttered, her voice rumbled, but she still took it out from nowhere. She took out a huge gun-shaped syringe. She held the syringe with her front paws and inserted the front end deeply into the gap between the scales under her neck. With the hissing sound of the syringe releasing pressure, a liter of powerful compound enhancer and the same A certain amount of regenerative agent was injected into the blood vessels, and her two auxiliary hearts, which were on the verge of tearing, finally calmed down.
The extra three hearts and the bionic pump under the scales can bring a huge improvement in the endurance and survivability of the dragons who need to travel far, but in any case, talking about the black trap to the aliens, and giving indirect reminders The forbidden knowledge about gods... is indeed too exciting.
Melita breathed heavily, calming down the side effects caused by excessive injection of boosters - although there are some dragons who enjoy this feeling and even have the problem of booster addiction. But she really wasn't used to this.
After feeling a little better, she closed the scales around her neck to hide the implants again.
In the dragon society of Tallond, implants and boosters have long been a part of dragon life. Newborn dragons even have to receive the first aid in their first ten years of life. Sub-implant surgery - a resonance core is implanted in the skull. This resonance core will establish a connection between the user and "Omega", allowing the young dragons to talk to the powerful artificial intelligence, and the latter will complete the knowledge education and behavioral guidance of the young dragons - so It can be said that any normal Tallond dragon citizen has 100% implants in his body.
It’s just that some dragons choose to expose the implants, such as Speaker Andal, while some dragons like hidden transformations, such as Melita Pernia.
After resting for dozens of minutes, Melita stood up. The bleeding wound on her body had healed urgently, and taking off was no longer a problem. Although she wanted to rest for a while, she knew , the colleagues monitoring the situation from behind were probably in chaos.
The blue dragon rose into the sky and soon reached a height where it could communicate directly with Tallond.
Although Tallond can also be contacted on the surface, all communications at that altitude will be heard by the Dragon God. Only at this altitude near the end of the sky and close to the legacy of the "Sailor" can communications be heard. It will not be monitored by any god.
Even if the person on the other side of the communication is standing on the ground, or at the door of the god's palace - millions of years have passed, and the residual power of the sailor is still there.
The light golden communication interface appeared in front of Melita. She maintained her flying altitude while calling the Mithril Treasure House headquarters in the distance: "Melita Purnia is calling the support team, Melita... Purnia calls the support team...Hurry up! I'm dialing you in the stratosphere with a level 10 disability!"
Communications World!Finally, a nervous and panicked voice came from behind: "Melita! This is Noretta - what's going on over there? Your implant suddenly reported that two of your four hearts had exploded! And! You also injected yourself with three times the dose of booster."
Melita took a deep breath: "Huh...it didn't explode. I used the regeneration agent to save it, but the sensor should be broken! It's okay, I can feel them still jumping."
Hearing Melita's still energetic voice, Noretta, who was far away in Tallond, finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. I was still in the mood to make a joke: "How could it be so miserable - your client finally discovered that you had embezzled gifts from clients? By some legendary strongman, you were pushed to the ground and beaten?"
"Gawain Cecil and I talked about the Black Trap and the Counter Tide Empire," Melita said lightly, "I accidentally said a few more words."
As expected , she heard the sound of things falling to the ground and several exclamations in the communication.
The chaos caused by herself made Melita's mouth curl up slightly.
A friend’s exclamation came from the light golden communication interface: "Melita! You are crazy!! You don’t want to die?!"
"Isn’t this still... Are you alive?"
"What's going on?" Noretta seemed to finally calm down and felt something strange in Melita's tone, "You can rest assured that Omega has intervened. , Chancellor Andal is on the line."
"Gawain Cecil got an ultimate book made by the Counter Tide Empire - don't be surprised, it is damaged," Melita said. He said unhurriedly, "In addition, without my deliberate guidance, he summed up one of the core laws of 'disobedience'."
The other party was silent for a long time, and then A voice came: "Which one?"
"Man takes over the power of God with his human wisdom," Melita said, "The baby who climbs out of the cradle needs to use his own hands and feet..."
The majestic and steady voice of Speaker Andal came from the communication channel: "Okay, no need to say any more."
Even here, close to the legacy of "Sailor", in this place There are some taboos at a height far away from the eyes and ears of the gods, so be careful.
Melita stopped this dangerous topic, and then under the questioning of Noretta and Speaker Andal, she carefully reported the process of today's meeting with Gawain Cecil. .
After the report, she heard Speaker Andal let out a long sigh.
It was a sigh of relief.
The dragon elder who has lived for a long time asked in a deep voice: "Melita, in your opinion, where have ordinary people in the Cecil Empire... reached?"< /p>
Melita’s answer was very direct: “Most of them are still ignorant and backward, and are controlled physically and mentally by the old ideas of royal power and theocracy. They are only mechanically obeying the instructions of the Government Affairs Office, rather than truly opening up the people’s wisdom and independence. action,Although Gawain Cecil has been desperately promoting education, it is obvious that this is not a problem that can be solved in four or five years. "
Speaker Andal's voice seemed a little low: "...Yes, that's right, this cannot be solved within a few years..."
"But we can't ignore it either. The changes that have already occurred," Melita continued, "It is true that the transformation of most people takes time, but various sprouts have indeed appeared on this land, or in other words, the accumulation of this land itself has A critical point has been reached, and the emergence of Gawain Cecil only accelerated this process and effectively concentrated these sprouts, preventing them from disappearing silently into the darkness - these sprouts included doubts about divine authority and rationality. Gawain's pursuit, including the understanding of the laws of nature, is now playing their role in the right way, so the transformation of Cecil's society may be faster than we expected. "
After another brief silence, Speaker Andal's voice sounded low: "...You seem to have extra confidence in Gawain Cecil and the order he created. "
Melita's answer was still calm: "I have seen changes in this land that have not happened in thousands of years. "
"...I hope your judgment is correct. " Speaker Andal said in a deep voice.
After the speaker finished speaking, Noretta's voice intervened: "But no matter what, leaving the relics of the Counter-Tide Empire in human society is somewhat risky. Melita, I think you'd better recycle that book - Tallond can make some compensation for this, and Gawain Cecil shouldn't mind selling a favor to the dragon, right? "
Melita shook her head, and just when she was about to speak, she heard Chancellor Andal's voice ring again: "Noretta, just trust Melita's judgment on this matter. "
"But..."
"Noretta, as a young person, are you more stubborn than an old person like me? "
Noretta paused for a moment: "...I understand, Mr. Speaker. ”
This matter finally came to an end, and Melita couldn’t help but feel relieved in her heart.
The number of times she challenged the rules and faced shocking information today was a bit too much. Much more, now that I think about it, it feels like I have been frantically testing on the verge of death for several hours.
Such an exciting job... I can only say that it is like dealing with Gawain Cecil. This is not good for the heart.
It is not good in a physical sense.
"Melita, after finishing the work at hand, go back to Tallond. "Across the communicator, White Dragon Noretta's voice came again, "Your implant needs repair, and your physical condition after the backlash also needs to be carefully checked. "
"I know, you don't need to tell me - I'm almost in pain now," Melita said, sucking in the cold air, "I'm going to find a place to rest for a day or two later, and I'll be able to recover my strength. Return to Tallond. ”
“Received——Zhu YiAll goes well. ”
“I received your blessing. ”
The communication hung up, and the pale golden communication interface turned into shimmering particles, gradually dissipating in the air.
Melita took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the cold air from high altitude Then she slowly spit it out.
With the dull pain in her muscles and bones, she began to slowly lower her height.
The earth of Cecil Empire was reflected more and more clearly. In her huge pupils.
Mountains and rivers, forests and plains, cities and villages, and countless people living on this land.
" Is there a change that has not happened in a thousand years... I hope I really saw it right..."
The refractive stance spread on the scales, and the dragon's figure gradually disappeared into the illusion created by magic power, and disappeared. A dragon-shaped shadow swept across the sky, and on the land swept by the wind, a convoy loaded with supplies was setting off, hopeful immigrants were settling in, and a team of high-spirited teams were gathering...
