Chapter 849 Father and Daughter

Over the years in the human world, Maggie had imagined more than once what it would be like to meet her father again.

Every time she imagined it, it was different from the scene before her.

The black dragon covered in mechanical armor stared at Sir Gorosh standing in front of him. The magic crystal lamps around Jipingping illuminated the entire square. When the father and daughter met again, After the subtle embarrassment was resolved by a small accident, Maggie found that she was not as nervous as she had imagined.

She even smiled again: "Tomorrow I will apply for repairs here. Father - the hole you stepped on is a big problem."

Sir Gorosh's stall Opening hand: "At least this is not all my problem."

Maggie was stunned, and after two seconds of astonishment, she looked at her father in surprise: "You are actually joking? "

"I have been studying with Sir Kesimir for a long time..." Gorosh said with a hint of embarrassment, "After you leave...I don't want to wait for you to go home. He will complain again and again that his father is as rigid as a stone and can't even hear jokes..."

The black dragon's long giant tail suddenly swung unconsciously in the open space, horny The layer created a string of bright sparks on the solid ground.

"It seems that you are living a good life in the human world." Sir Gorosh coughed slightly and looked up at his daughter. "Cecil has made such an amazing set of weapons for you." The armor is more amazing than any armor of kings and knights, and it must not be easy to make."

"These are wings of steel, which can allow dragons with congenital deformities to fly freely," Maggie said. Shaking his neck slightly, layers of light floated on the surface of the armor plate on his upper body, "You are right, it took an astonishing amount of manpower and material resources to make it, but it was not prepared for me alone - it was just a part of the Wings of Steel." "The first set..." Sir Gorosh immediately heard the hidden meaning in Maggie's words. He opened his eyes wide, "You mean, Se." Sir, Sir designed this armor for all Dragonborn. Is it a mass-produced product? ”

I have just come into contact with Gawain Cecil’s investment plans and trade plans, Sir. The idea immediately turned to the direction of "commodity".

“You can understand it this way,” Maggie nodded slightly, “but it is not in the regular trade list. His Majesty Gawain knows some of the restrictions of the Holy Dragon Principality, so this set of armor currently only belongs to My personal 'gift', I present it to you in this way, is to ask you to judge whether it can appear in front of Grand Duke Baloger. If it can, the Steel Wings will start mass production. If not, Then there will only be this set of steel wings in the world."

Sir Gorosh listened to his daughter's words with astonishment and thought. After more than ten seconds of contemplation, he finally broke the silence: "...Maggie, Cecil has given me too many surprises and shocks,And now this surprise is the biggest one.

"I'm afraid I can't give you an answer right away... This thing is too amazing, and you know, it is blatantly challenging the traditional order of the Holy Dragon Principality. If this thing is really productive, you and I Everyone can imagine that scene - the young dragonborn will probably own it at any cost, and then fly freely among the sacred mountains in the north. The principality is indeed undergoing some changes, and we are even actively contacting the human world and the south. To start trade, it does not mean that we are ready to break all traditions."

This answer was not surprising to Maggie, she just felt regretful and sighed in regret. He took a breath and said, "I knew it would be like this. The Holy Dragon Principality has countless traditions and taboos, but some traditions will always change over thousands of years. Only the taboo on the sky... has never changed. Father, I really I’m very curious, what is there in the sky that makes us creatures with wings so resistant to it?”

“…When I was young, I was as curious as you,” Ge Sir Roche shook his head after silence, "However, His Majesty Ballogle and the Dragon Blood Council will tell you that the highest taboo is the highest taboo, including asking about the reasons for the taboo itself is also a taboo. Maggie, as His Majesty Ballogel's Courtiers and your father, I can only tell you the only 'tolerance' behind this taboo, that is, at least south of the mountains in the extreme north, you can fly."

"The extreme. South of the Northern Mountains...?" Maggie noticed this strange limitation and couldn't help but repeat in a low voice, "Why south of the Northern Mountains? Is there something... in the north?"

Sir Gorrosh sighed and revealed a secret that only some upper-class dragonborn knew: "That is the direction of Tallond."

Maggie was stunned for a moment. Don't know what to say.

Sir Gorosh shook his head: "No matter what, I will still tell Archduke Baloger about the Wings of Steel. No matter what the reason is, this matter must be dealt with by Dragon Blood." The Grand Duke and the Dragon Blood Council know. In addition, I will also express my gratitude to His Majesty Gawain Cecil - thank him for giving you this gift, and thank him for taking into account the traditional taboos of the Holy Dragon Principality. Human beings have mastered manufacturing. This kind of Steel Wings technology, but you don’t use it directly to make profits, but let you consult me ​​for my opinion. As two alien races that have no intersection with each other, I think this is a considerable degree of respect.”

Sir Gorosh’s response made the atmosphere between father and daughter somewhat stiff. The two of them were silent and lost in their own thoughts. But soon, Maggie asked another question: "Father, what if Some young dragonborn are willing to accept a certain degree of supervision and restriction, only operate in the southern human country, and only use the Wings of Steel within the prescribed scope. Do you think the Dragon Blood Council and the Grand Guild will allow it? ”

"Strictly speaking, he is an international student, father." Maggie immediately corrected Sir Gorosh, "The non-governmental communication channels and official channels for overseas students between Cecil and the Holy Dragon Principality are about to be opened, right? Then the dragon descendants who come to Cecil will naturally leave The 'No Fly Zone' in the Far North Mountains, just like me, flying with Steel Wings obviously does not violate traditional taboos - ah, for the two countries, this does not even involve 'trade', Cecil just Producing these devices on their own land, not selling them to the North, and the dragonborn are just experiencing some 'local projects' on Cecil's land..."

A long list of Maggie's quick words The content made Sir Gorosh's eyes open wider and wider, and he was even stunned in the end. It wasn't until Maggie finished her words that the Sir looked at his daughter with a strange expression: "Maggie, where did you... come from? Did you learn such a weird... idea? You never..."

Maggie opened her mouth: "I..."

"My child, you are really here The human world has learned too much and has learned their cunning. At this point, you are even a bit like Ms. Asarena." Gorosh's tone was a bit dumbfounding. "Your way of thinking is now like a human being. Class!"

Asalena, who maintained a soundproof barrier not far away, suddenly shouted dissatisfied: "Hey! I'm just standing here to listen!"

Maggie said Winking at Gorosh: "Father, no matter what my way of thinking is, at least what I say is logical, isn't it?"

"I..." Gorosh hesitated, helpless He shrugged with a wry smile, "Well, from a certain point of view, it is true. I will think about it carefully and then tell the Grand Duke."

Then he frowned and said to Maggie: "Child We haven’t seen each other for many years. Besides these topics, don’t you want to talk to me about anything else? Do you...really don’t want to go home?” Maggie was silent for a few seconds. , the huge head lowered slightly, and said a sentence that Sir Gorosh thought he would never hear: "Father, my behavior back then was impulsive."

Sir was stunned. For a whole minute, he stood there quietly like a sculpture, with an unexpected look on his face. It wasn't until Asareena coughed not far away that the middle-aged dragonborn As if waking up from a dream, she subconsciously said: "So, you have to..."

Maggie shook her head gently: "Father, I ran away out of impulse, but I stayed here After so many years in the human world, I am not impulsive. Father, I am no longer a child. I have my own identity and responsibilities here. Whether it is in front of His Majesty Gawain or Grand Duchess Victoria, I cannot leave. Forget it. And... I will also face a very embarrassing situation when I return to the Holy Dragon Principality. You should know this. After all, I am not like Asarena.Madam, I am not a born dragon-marked witch, nor do I have a more special bloodline besides being your daughter.

"The Dragon Blood Council will definitely investigate my behavior that violated the taboo."

In the calm narration, the memories of the past many years are also reflected in Maggie's memories. pass by.

Many years ago, I was still a too young child when I jumped from Longyue Cliff. I was protected by my family and the mountains. Many of my ideas at that time actually seem a bit ridiculous now. ——Whether it is the longing for the sky or the pursuit of the so-called "freedom", those thoughts that sound simple and strong can once stir up the heart of a young dragonborn, but many years later they will inevitably appear naive and reckless.

After experiencing these years of ups and downs, she has increasingly felt that the "ambitions" she had when she jumped off Longyue Cliff are actually very small in this complex and dangerous world. In an unsafe world, there are wars, deaths, desperate battles between dark sects and gods, as well as stormy waves caused by the changes of the times. A dragonborn with a dream in the sky jumped from a high cliff and rushed into the world. After entering this turbulent world, he was as small as a flying insect and had no time to care about any dreams.

The "outside world" is not all romance and epic as imagined. More often, it is the hunger and cold when falling at the foot of the northern mountains, and the despair when facing the crystal cluster army. Embarrassed and helpless when facing the change of foreign dynasties.

But it is precisely because these winds and rains have faded away the impulsiveness and recklessness of his youth that the Dragonborn who jumped from Longyue Cliff is now unable to leave this "new home" as lightly as he did when he left home. .

“I am currently an air force instructor in the Cecil Empire, a senior advisor to several aircraft projects at the Imperial Institute of Magical Technology, and also the deputy to the Grand Consul of Victoria and the royal advisor to His Majesty Gawain. This position is equivalent to your position in front of Grand Duke Baloger. I left home in a hurry, but when I came back to my senses, I had already taken root in the human world too deeply. I had to stay here - whether it was out of responsibility or reason. Either for feelings or for the glory of the Dragonborn, I have to stay."

Sir Gorosh was silent for a long time, and finally all his words turned into a wry smile: "I...understand, you said. That’s right.

“But Maggie, even for these reasons, you can still go home and visit, just like I, as a courtier, also have the opportunity to come here to meet you.

“The Holy Dragon Principality is establishing normal diplomacy with the Cecil Empire. The gate to the northern mountains is about to open. We will send ambassadors to each other with humans, open civilian channels, and open long-term trade lines. Maggie, as long as these passages are opened, the principality will no longer be a closed place, and you will no longer be harshly punished by traditional taboos - even the Dragon Blood Council will no longer pursue you for your "escape" from Longyue Cliff. Old accounts, because you are the only dragonborn who holds an important position in the Cecil Empire, and it is a precious link."

Maggie watched quietly.Looking at his father for a long time, he lowered his head gently: "It is indeed as you said... Then I will go back to see you then."
