It is indeed a simple and straightforward name.
But many of Cecil's things are so simple and straightforward - and behind these simplicity and straightforwardness, they are either convenient and practical, or powerful.
Maggie already likes this unique "Cecile style" now.
“You can transform now,” Rebecca retreated to a safe distance and said to Maggie with a smile, “Don’t worry, this place is very spacious, and I will give it to you outside the work shed. A place has been reserved for entry, exit and liftoff~"
Maggie nodded and closed her eyes slightly.
The power from the bloodline began to swim in her body, the magic reshaped her flesh and blood, and began to break the boundaries between matter and elements. A curtain-like stream of light enveloped the dragonborn. body, and then the curtain expanded rapidly, expanding to a range of more than ten meters in almost the blink of an eye, and as the curtain shook, the faintly huge dragon wings flashed past.
After the light dissipated, Maggie appeared in front of everyone in the form of a black dragon.
Even if they have seen it more than once, Rebecca and her technical team will still be amazed by this incredible change. The power and mystery of dragons fascinate these technical workers. The researchers in white robes couldn't help but come closer, and once again sighed in unison about the power of the "dragon" - "How on earth did this happen?" "Such a huge body structure is filled with magic power. ? ""The extra weight is a mystery..." "Where are the personal belongings in human form..."
——There is no doubt that the researchers must have sighed about the dragon. It's professional.
Maggie shook her head from side to side, listening to the discussions around her with some helplessness - after becoming familiar with each other, these guys simply did not lower their voices when discussing similar issues.
Recalling that not long ago, she would be embarrassed by these discussions, and even a little concerned, but after such a long period of contact, she had already realized that the guys around Rebecca were actually They're just overly focused researchers. No offense to themselves, they just don't have high emotional intelligence - so every one of them is single.
May these overly curious guys remain single.
Maggie murmured in her heart, and her huge head covered with hard horns hung down toward Rebecca: "How should I wear this suit?"
"Stand there. On the table at the side - do you see those red blocks? Those are the positioning points for your limbs." Rebecca pointed to the distance, "Then just spread your wings and leave the rest to me. We."
Maggie followed Rebecca's instructions and came to the platform. After standing firm, she calmed down, and then slowly opened her wings that were born with a genetic defect.
She suddenly became a little nervous, feeling her heart pounding in her chest, and she could even hear the heartbeat in her ears.
ChainThe sound of bars and slide rails moving accompanied the heartbeat, and the sound of metal collision and friction was also heard. The surrounding magic technicians and mechanical bachelors were constantly controlling the surrounding suspended machines. The cold and imposing black pair The steel wings came closer little by little, and with a cold touch, they attached to Maggie's wings.
There were already mechanical bachelors standing on the hanging beam in mid-air. As soon as the steel wings were in place, they immediately drove the hanging beam forward and began to use various tools to move the huge equipment one by one. The lock buckle and the fixing frame fit in place and are locked one by one.
The sound of metal hitting and chains shaking rang out, making Maggie's mind slowly calm down. She suddenly felt like a knight preparing to step onto the battlefield - these respectable skills People are using advanced machinery to arm a giant dragon, and for the dragon, this is her new armor.
“Hey~~Maggie~~This set of things is a bit heavy! So we had to use a lot of fixing brackets to ensure that they can be fixed on your body, mainly at the roots of the wings and the back and abdomen~~” Rebecca stood under the platform, raised her head and said loudly, "Is there any discomfort??"
"It's very easy," Maggie lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice, "To the dragon In terms of weight, its burden is probably not much different from that of you humans wearing a thin leather armor. And I even have a suggestion - you can drill holes in some special bones and scales on my shoulder blades and the upper edges of my wings, and directly use them. It should be fixed with bolts."
Rebecca continued to shout: "Oh my god - you said something terrible!"
"But it doesn't actually hurt at all. There are many horny structures and exoskeleton structures on our bodies that are insensitive, just like human fingernails."
Rebecca's excited voice came from below: "Okay! I will consider it next time!!"
"The wingsuit is fixed!" A mechanical bachelor standing on the command platform shouted, interrupting Rebecca and Maggie Conversation between the two, "Start connecting the back armor, chest armor, and attached protective gear!"
More slide rails and bearings began to rotate, and the black steel armor tailor-made for Maggie began to piece by piece. Assembled to the latter, the belly armor used to hold up the defensive shield, the back armor used to carry the backup energy pack, and the under-neck armor carrying a large number of test instruments were installed one by one.
Maggie watched as these dazzling devices were hung on her body one by one. Some of them she could see the use of, some she could only guess the use of, and some... she could even guess. Don't know what they are for. As a device with sharp corners gradually approached her chin, she finally couldn't help but asked: "Rebecca, what is this thing installed on the chin for? Why can't I see any talisman on it? Literary structure?"
Rebecca looked up and scratched her hair: "Actually, I don't know...it was specially added by the ancestors after seeing my design, saying it was a black dragon. The symbol of…”
"Does the black dragon have such a symbol..." Maggie muttered in confusion, and while she was mumbling, the black armor made of steel had been installed on her lower jaw.
It might look like a weird-looking visor, or it might be an iron chin - Maggie muttered in her mind.
Then she put aside her doubts: Since it was His Majesty Gawain's arrangement, it must have its purpose. The legendary hero's wisdom and vision were beyond ordinary people's imagination, and she was not good at it. The person who plans the plan (dragon) just acts according to his will.
As for now...she is ready to go.
"All locks are in place, and the Wings of Steel are mounted!" The mechanical bachelor on the high platform shouted loudly, "It's ready for test flight!!"
Maggie raised her head and felt His heart was beating rapidly again.
With an excited look on her face, Rebecca turned around and shouted: "Open the door!!"
The magic mechanism drove heavy gears and levers, and the alloy door of the work shed There was a creaking sound, and the sunlight from the outside spilled into this special "dragon armed workshop" through the door. Maggie quickly calmed down her mood, and then took a step forward, her heavy body carrying the steel armor, one step at a time. Step off the platform and head towards the door.
Facing the sun, she squinted her eyes slightly, the clear and distant blue sky shining brightly in her sight.
“Do you remember the control method I told you before?” Rebecca’s loud shouting voice came from the ground, “It hasn’t changed!! Most of the functions are just to complete your work. The missing runes on the wings don’t require you to focus on the control! Just pay attention to the balance of the wings and the overall weight during the first test flight! ”
“I can do it!” >
"Okay! Let's take off! Maggie!!"
A gust of wind also picked up at the right time, blowing on the black dragon's hard scales and open wings, feeling the air flow blowing over the body surface With the touch, Maggie directly used her talent to control magic to activate the magic capacitors set at the roots of the wings.
The surging magic energy was immediately guided and injected into the interior of the steel wings. Along the edge of her original wings, a fine flow of light quickly spread on the surface of the additional metal skeleton, and the surface of each metal part The runes lit up one after another, resonating with Maggie's own pair of mutilated and deformed wings -
The dragon language runes that were congenitally missing were instantly replenished, creating a controllable power that she had never experienced before. The feeling of the elements and the sky came to Maggie.
This feeling made her couldn't help but recall her leap on Longyue Cliff many years ago -
She took two steps forward, but her body was shaken by the unprecedented pain. The lightness made me almost lose my balance and fall. The messy air flow was swirling around me, and the person who blew it couldn't open my eyes.
Rebecca's loud shouting voice came from behind: "Maggie! Take your time! Don't be in a hurry!! Go forward step by step, and then fly!!"
The black dragon took a deep breath, adjusted the balance of his body again, and called for magic power again.
This is not difficult - dragons are meant to soar into the sky, and the ability to fly should be as easy for every dragon as eating and drinking.
Maggie took another step, spread her wings, ran for a short distance and then suddenly took off.
Since childhood, she has tried this thousands of times and fallen down hundreds of times.
This time, she did not fall.
The howling wind blew in the face, and then was guided by the invisible magic field and swept backwards. Maggie finally opened her eyes, but only saw the earth moving backward under her feet, and the magic power was gathering. By his side, he lifted her up to the higher sky.
This is a completely different experience from driving the "Dragon Cavalry" - it is even different from gliding off the dragon leap cliff, and different from flying into the sky with the help of the storm summoned by Victoria.
This is the feeling of flying into the blue sky with your own wings.
Maggie suddenly wanted to cheer, which even went against her calm and steady temperament in front of others for many years, but... there are no outsiders here anyway.
A low dragon roar came from high in the sky, and many frightened birds flew up from the nearby forest, fluttering in the air.
Rebecca looked up at the sky, suddenly smiled and said to the person next to her: "She seems to be very happy!!"
......
Broad The fields and woods continued to recede from the sight, and even the clouds seemed within reach. Maggie stretched her wings to her heart's content under the influence of magic. On the outer edges of the congenitally deformed and twisted wings, the magical alloy and steel skeleton The flight assistance device created shines brightly in the sunlight.
Dragonborn will definitely be interested in this thing, especially the young dragonborn, especially the friends they know.
Maggie thought with great certainty, and even... felt that this thing might impress those stubborn parliamentarians and elders, as well as the majestic Grand Duke Baloger.
Perhaps Tallond's "high-ranking dragons" have more powerful power than this. Perhaps this technology of flying into the sky cannot enter the eyes of those real dragons, but for the deformed dragonborn, , this is something that can change your destiny.
Maggie adjusted her flying posture, and while thinking about how to negotiate with the tribesmen, she began to try more functions of this equipment and began to try more challenging flying movements.
Suddenly, she felt a little out of place.
Something seemed to have fallen off in the middle of the left wing, or the rune meltdown had occurred. The sudden imbalance caused her body to tilt, and then she fell rapidly——
A thought flashed through Maggie's mind: new technologies always experience a lot of failures.
The next second, she began to work hard to adjust her balance and try to regain her posture.
She has crashed more than once while trying "Dragoon", she had been mentally prepared for various problems in the test machine from the beginning. The imbalance at this moment only made her panic for a moment. As a senior "test pilot", she was already experienced in "crash".
After barely adjusting her balance several times, she found that she could no longer take off, and the only option seemed to be to make an emergency landing by gliding.
Maggie forced herself to calm down and began to do her best to maintain her posture. She spread her wings and tried to enter a gliding state, which was much more difficult than before - the "armor" made of steel "It's not a big burden under normal circumstances, but it was obviously a trouble during the emergency landing. She was carrying this unfamiliar load, feeling the crazy airflow, and tried her best to avoid the ending of vertical fall, and the one below The town and the Whitewater River not far away are clearly visible.
Maggie constantly adjusted the angle of her wings to deviate from the direction of the town and fall as far as possible towards the river on the side -
At least this way there would be no casualties... He shouldn't be too seriously injured. Although hitting the water at high speed will also bring a terrible impact, it is better than falling on the hard ground. With the dragon's physique, coupled with the deceleration along the way... the damage is acceptable.
Maggie quickly completed the trade-off in her mind, and the next second, the White Water River was rushing towards her face...
Tier sensed that something seemed to be approaching at high speed in the air, and was preparing to After taking an afternoon nap in the water, she couldn't help but poke her head out and look up at the sky.
A huge black shadow just hit him head on.
The last image Tyr saw was an iron jaw blurred by the high-speed approach.
“Hey mom——pop——”
Cecil’s 2nd year, the 12th of the month of recovery.
The Steel Wings prototype takes off.
Dragon-born test pilot Maggie completed a one-hour flight on the Wings of Steel and then made an emergency landing in the Whitewater River due to mechanical failure.
The siren Tyr was stabbed to death by an iron jaw falling from the sky (1/1).
