Noretta? Another high-level agent of the Mithril Vault?
Melita went on a "demand mission"? So is this temporary "substitute" Noretta also a giant dragon?
Listening to the sound coming from the ring, Gawain suddenly had a few thoughts in his mind, and then he suddenly frowned and realized one thing——
This This time I can’t play MylittlePony memes!
After suppressing the strange thoughts in his mind at this moment, Gawain immediately coughed twice, gathered his thoughts and said to the "Miss Noretta" on the other end of the ring: "That's it. , I need to consult on something - it may involve the Dragon Clan, and I hope to communicate in person."
"Dragon... I understand," Noretta's voice paused for a second, "Please wait a moment. Just wait, I'll go see you in about an hour."
Gawain blinked - it took another hour for the senior agents of the Mithril Treasure House to arrive, not to mention anything else. The on-call service attitude is really admirable. I don’t know where these dragons were when they were performing agent tasks. If you think about it carefully, there are quite a few suspicious things...
...
The dark red lava flows windingly on the dry and hot land. The astonishingly hot cyclone is wrapped in blazing flames, and the burning tornado sweeps across the area like a flaming python. The red sky is constantly sprinkling hot ashes and rain of fire - this is a world dominated by flames. Everything here, including soil and stones, maintains constant restlessness and change in a state of enriched fire elements. A large number of "creatures" with the element of fire as the main body live in this place that is like hell to mortals, and each has a variety of strange "life forms".
The magma springtails jumping in the lava, the fire monsters that breed in the cracks of the rocks, the ** heat waves that move quickly on the wind, and all kinds of fire elemental creatures are blind in this blazing world. The ground is burning, fighting, consuming their long or short lives - but a loud noise that seems to be able to break the space and a heart-rending roar suddenly resound through the entire space, making the earth and the lava lake restless. The elemental creatures instantly ran away -
"Damn it! You damn reptiles!!"
Amidst the deafening roar, the red sky suddenly cracked open with a shocking crack. In the crack, a huge giant body composed of burning boulders and viscous magma fell to the earth in embarrassment. It smashed a large crater with a radius of 100 meters next to the magma lake. Then the boulders squirmed, Roaring, it crawled out from the bottom of the pit and reorganized bit by bit into the daunting flame giant.
The giant raised its burning head and roared at the sky again. In the sky where fire rain and ashes continued to fall, several equally huge figures were hovering - those were the seven-headed giants. dragon.
The giant raised his arm, and a hot and bright flame spear had condensed into shape, but before it could beThe spear was thrown, and a dragon roar came from high in the sky. The balance of elemental power was instantly shattered by the dragon's roar. The flame spear was torn into pieces. Then, lightning, frost, wind, and arcane power fell from the sky like a violent storm, killing the giant. Death was suppressed on the surface of the cracked earth.
Those low-level elemental creatures that could only rely on instinctive actions had fled completely at the beginning of this terrible battle. Only the irrational ones rose up from the cracks in the cracked earth. Pure flame.
"How dare you... dare to be in the realm of elements..."
A giant blue dragon fell from the sky and directly stepped on the head of the flame giant. A low and majestic voice came from the giant dragon. came from the mouth: "No one can owe the Mithril Treasure House - including the elemental lords."
"You crazy people... idiots... reptiles!" The giant struggled hard, but under the gravity spell Under the influence of "The cycle is coming, it's coming! Everything will be shuffled, the whole world will be reshaped, no debts, no contracts, everything is meaningless! What you do..."
"What a young elemental lord. I'm afraid you were born from the source of fire less than a thousand years ago - didn't your elders tell you a truth?" One head has thick scales, and the back armor is inlaid with alloy guards. The red dragon, whose eyes had been replaced with electronic prosthetic eyes, sneered and interrupted the flame giant's curse. He took a step forward and looked down at the giant's eyes, "The world can be destroyed and civilization can be reshaped, but even if the planet is destroyed Even if you crash into the sun, you have to pay off the debt of the mithril treasure house before you die!"
The giant used all his strength and roared intermittently at the feet of the blue dragon: "You... this gang... Crazy person!"
"It seems that your elders did not educate you well," Hong Long shook his head, "But it doesn't matter, we will complete the business you promised to hide in secret. The collateral given to Mithril Treasury has been overdue for a hundred years, and today we brought the bill - upon your confirmation, Mithril Treasury will collect the late payment fees and collateral today."
Step on the giant's head. The blue dragon also lowered his head: "Besides, don't forget to give this transaction a favorable review——"
The black dragon, who was standing beside him without speaking, took a step forward, accompanied by an inaudible voice. Singing in a low voice, the complex dragon language runes condensed in front of her and swirled to form countless rotating arrows. The arrows got closer to the flame giant's torso, and the latter immediately roared crazily: "Stop! Stop it. ! You can't do this! You..." Sparks flew, and the rotating arrows tore through the shell of the stone as easily as a knife cutting through butter, and the roar of the flame giant finally weakened, leaving only He cursed intermittently: "You reptiles... you can't take it away... I stole it with great difficulty... It's mine, it's my treasure..."
A low sound After a muffled sound, the elemental shell in the giant's body was cut through by the sharp arrow, and its sturdy body finally began to fall apart, weak andIntermittent voices floated in the air: "You... are just... a group of prisoners..."
The blue dragon looked down at the rapidly extinguishing stone head, and stepped on it hard with his feet. Falling apart: "Thank you for the review, I have received your review."
The lifeless elemental body turned into hot stones and scattered all over the ground.
A small flame as small as a candle jumped out from the cracks in the stone. It screamed angrily and ran away from here. Its scream spread far away: "I I will be back!"
"Next time you are born again, ask your elders about the market situation of this world!" The red dragon shouted to the fleeing little flame, "We There will be no business consultation fee this time!"
Lanlong shook her head, and a light golden projection panel appeared in front of her. After activating the work system, she began to record it carefully. This time’s attendance report: “… In summary, after the service was completed, the customer made a sincere and enthusiastic evaluation. Due to the rush of time, the customer did not have time to choose the evaluation star rating in the future. With the unanimous consent of the agents present, we think it should be Default is positive..."
"Melita, don't record those things, you can write slowly when you get back," the black dragon who summoned the front arrow before took a step forward and said in a somewhat young and immature voice, " Let’s pack up these things first.”
“Ah, that makes sense,” the blue dragon—Melita Pernia put away the pale golden panel in front of her eyes and looked down at the still-hot pile on the ground. The rock, "hidden for a hundred years... This fire elemental lord is almost breaking the record of debt evasion in the history of the Mithril Treasure House. Now let us see what kind of treasure this guy is hiding, and it is worth the risk." The risk of violating the dragon oath contract..."
The invisible magic blows through the hot stones, dispelling the last bit of malice entrenched in these elemental residues, and the already fragile stone shells silently It turned into dust and blew away in the wind, finally revealing the "treasure" tightly wrapped in this pile of debris.
It is a piece of metal with a silver base and black inlaid decoration on the surface.
It looks like a shield, but it does not look like any standard shield in the world. It has a very symmetrical rhombus structure, and the convex side still has a dim and faint brilliance flowing to this day. The energy tremors caused by the language magic lingered around the shield, and a low and sweet buzzing sound came from the ancient and solid metal, like some kind of resonance.
Several giant dragons came over one after another - these huge creatures stretched their necks and looked at the metal plate that could almost be described as "tiny" to them, as if A group of people squatted on the ground and gathered around a small pebble. After a few seconds of silence, confused and curious looks appeared on the faces of each dragon covered with scales (or bionic skin).
"...What is this?" A particularly strong red dragon muttered,Two "fingers" stretched out his front paws and carefully grabbed the piece of metal. "An elemental lord risked being debt-collected by the Mithril Treasure House just to collect such a thing?"
Before The red dragon, whose eyes had been replaced with electronic prosthetic eyes, muttered: "This is a human shield. Isn't it obvious?"
"I know the human shield, but I don't understand it. Why would an elemental lord take it so seriously..."
At this moment, the blue dragon Melita suddenly interrupted the conversation of other dragons: "Friends, I think I know this person. "The mark on the shield."
As she spoke, she raised her front paws and pointed at the marks on the surface of the diamond-shaped shield - the material of the shield itself seemed to be somewhat special, so that it had changed over the centuries. It is still intact and intact after being corroded by elements, but some metal parts on its surface are obviously things that were added later. The imprints are on those metal coverings added later, and they have shown severe signs of weathering and erosion.
But its general outline is still recognizable: crossed swords and plowshares.
"...I seem to have an impression...ah! Last time we were torn here and there to confirm whether the deceased clients showed signs of resurrection. It seemed that it was because of the owner of this mark... ..." The extraordinarily strong red dragon exclaimed, with an unbearable expression on his face, "This seems to be the human thing named Gawain Cecil?"
Melita is serious. He nodded: "It should be like this."
The giant dragons at the scene fell silent. These powerful extraordinary creatures looked at me and I looked at you. Suddenly, I felt that this originally simple and crude debt collector had actually Suddenly things get complicated.
"... Mithril Treasure House operates with integrity, we should contact the owner..."
"But this was a lost item a century ago, and the owner's failure to take it after the expiration date is equivalent to automatically giving up ownership. "
"But the owner has been lying in the coffin for hundreds of years, so the responsibility for the overdue responsibility should be borne by the person responsible?"
"But the person responsible is also dead!"
p>"...Try conjuring spirits?"
"I don't think so - and can you not mention conjuring spirits?"
"Stop, friends," Mei Rita finally couldn't help but interrupted the increasingly heated conversation among her colleagues, "Before discussing the lost and found process, should we study this shield carefully? Don't you think... even if this shield belongs to a human being? A legendary hero, is it not worth letting an elemental lord take such a risk?"
"Melita, you mean..."
"The main material of this shield? , there is a problem - take a closer look."
...
An hour of waiting does not take long. Soon, Betty came to tell Gawain that there was one. A strange visitor claiming to be a senior agent arrived outside the Cecil Palace.
Not long after, a woman wearing a snow-white dress, with long light blond hair flowing down her shoulders, and her eyesThe beautiful and elegant lady with a tear mole walked into Gawain's study.
"Hello," this elegant and beautiful lady bent slightly towards Gao Wen, with a professional and gentle smile on her face, "I am Melita's senior agent for the time being. You can call me 'Noretta'."
Gawain controlled his curious gaze, and after ordering Betty to close the door before leaving, he nodded to the lady in front of him: " Nice to meet you, Miss Noretta."
