Gawain watched helplessly as Melita's face turned from red to white, and then from white to red again. The agent's hand was holding the corner of the desk, her eyes suddenly widened, and her whole body shook involuntarily. ——Then, a low and weird grunt sounded from deep in her throat. The grunt seemed to be mixed with the murmurs of countless different wills, and a pair of dragon-wing phantoms that almost covered the entire study opened in an instant. , there seemed to be thousands of pairs of eyes hidden in the phantom, staring at Gawain's position at the same time.
The next second, all the eyes in the phantom disappeared. Melita forcibly suppressed the tearing and separation impulse deep in her soul. Her knuckles turned white from the force, and her eyes were in a daze for a long time. Only then did he focus on Gawain: "Another one exploded..."
Gawain didn't even hear what she was muttering this time. He was filled with surprise and subconsciously reached out to help Melita: "You...I just asked for a name, how could you..."
Melita took two deep breaths before she managed to squeeze out the words with lingering fear: "That is...our god. Oh my god, I didn’t expect you to suddenly say his real name, and I didn’t expect that the real name you said would actually attract his attention..."
Gawain was stunned.
Two seconds later, he realized that he heard correctly, and suddenly exclaimed: "You said yes...that is the name of the Dragon God?!"
"Yes. "Yes," Melita said with a wry smile, and staggered to the side chair and sat down - as a senior agent, it is actually very rude to do this without the guest's permission. , but this time she violated her "professional ethics" for the first time, "And please never say that name directly again... The risk to me is really huge..."
高Wen hadn't fully recovered from the shock of learning the truth. At this time, countless conjectures were swirling in his mind while new questions arose. At the same time, he subconsciously asked: "Wait! Did you say that god just now?" 'Paying attention' to this place?"
He thought of the illusory dragon wings that appeared behind Melita at that moment, and the blur deep in the phantom of the dragon wings, which seemed to be just an illusion." "Countless eyes", he thought it was just an illusion at first, but now from Melita's few words, he suddenly realized that the situation might not be that simple -
Just now, right in front of him, that far away Tallond's "god" heard someone here calling his name and glanced this way!
"Yes, a brief gaze..." Melita forced a smile, "Don't worry, He has withdrawn his sight... There are very few mortals outside Tallond. The place called the god's true name, so it must have been just curiosity."
"Do gods also have this kind of curiosity..." Gawain couldn't help but muttered, and at the same time, he quickly compiled a series of clues in his mind. A series of combinations - the blond woman who suddenly appeared in front of Mordel Wilder turned out to be the mysterious dragon god who was stranded in the world.Moreover, the latter also helped the troubled Modir; after confronting the gods, Modir was unscathed, did not fall into madness or mutate, and returned to the human world safely; the Dragon God prohibited the dragons from approaching Tallon The huge tower near Germany, even her "human" had obvious resistance and fear towards that tower. However, even so, she chose to help a reckless human being, and she even generously gave her own The names were all told to Modir...
There are puzzling motives and connections hidden in a series of things. Even if Gawain has rich association skills, it is difficult to find a reasonable answer.
As for whether Modir's records are reliable, and whether the blond woman who appeared in front of him is the real Dragon God... Gawain has no doubt about this.
In the area close to Tallond, there should not be any daring being who pretends to be the name of a god. The name "Enya" is absolutely unique within the Dragon Clan.
Gawain's expression changed several times, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were deep. It was not until a minute later that he exhaled softly.
Ignoring other mysteries, his biggest gain this time...perhaps was that he accidentally learned the "name" of a god. This is the third god whose name he knows, after the giant deer Amorn and the upper-level narrator Naritir-Duvalt.
It’s just that the rules of this world are full of mysteries, and he doesn’t know what the functions of these names are... Now it seems that there is only one use that he can determine, and that is to serve as a "call number", and it is not necessarily It can be connected, but if it is connected, it may be necessary to sacrifice a dragon friend...
He glanced at Melita, who was slowly adjusting her breath. The latter's expression finally became normal, but she was still A little weak - this is the friend who was almost sacrificed.
Gawain felt quite sorry. He stood up and poured a glass of water for Melita. After passing it over, he asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Meili Ta took the water glass, his eyes fell on Gawain, his expression was quite complicated: "...it's okay...thank you."
Gawain hesitated: "Then shall we continue?"
p>"...Under other circumstances, I should have ended this consulting business and gone back to recuperate for a few days," Melita sighed softly and shook her head, "But now...I'm afraid I can't No need to hold on any longer. What else was said in the travelogue?"
She waved her hand again before Gawain could speak: "No, you'd better not tell me in person. Take a look - okay?"
"It's not a problem," Gawain glanced at Modier's Travel Notes, which was lying quietly on the table, and then looked at Meili with some worry. Tower, "But is your health okay? Then some of the things recorded above may be equally... harmful to your health."
Melita glanced at Gawain with a complicated expression, " I will take precautions - and the writings recorded by mortal races do notWith such powerful power, even if there is some taboo knowledge in it, I can still filter it out. "
There is something in her heart that she is embarrassed to say - no matter how harmful the content in this book is to health, I'm afraid it is not as scary as chatting with you...
"Since this is It's your decision." Gawain saw that the other party was resolute, so he didn't insist on it. He reached out and took out the travel book, turned to the corresponding page and handed it to Melita, "Start here and read the next dozen or so. The content of the page is all. Be careful when looking, and if there is anything unusual, be sure to let me know in time. ”
Melita nodded and took the ancient book with a mottled cover. Gawain couldn’t help but sigh in his heart - the Dragon Clan, such a powerful race, was so powerful because of the suspicion of gods and gods. There is so much pressure due to the constraints of the black trap, and even being accidentally mobilized to say certain words will cause serious backlash injuries... When the weak races on the earth watched these powerful creatures fluttering across the sky , who would have thought that these powerful dragons are actually flying with chains?
All of this is simply a curse...
He looked at Melita and saw After taking a deep breath, the other party had already put his eyes on the page, and seemed to be ready to start - Gawain himself was also ready to wait patiently.
Modier was talking about the North Pole. There is a lot of writing and ink in the description of the trip. It is a very long content. Even a quick glance will take a long time. Melita also needs to pay attention to protecting herself at all times. It must be unpleasant to look at, maybe...
As soon as his thoughts turned to this point, he saw the agent holding the book with one hand and grabbing the pages at the back with the other hand. Turning over...
"I've finished reading," Melita let out a long breath and handed "Model's Travels" to Gawain, "To be honest...if you don't consider the dangers The content of this notebook is really wonderful. "
Gawain was dumbfounded: "Is this... the end of reading? "
The faint light in Melita's eyes gradually receded. She noticed Gawain's surprise and explained casually: "It is the ability of speed reading - there is a certain danger in using it to deal with these. The written information is very effective. "
She did not explain the principle behind this in detail, because the relevant content may not be easy for humans to understand - in that short second, she actually blocked her biological vision, Instead, the optical implant in the fundus of the eye was used to scan the content on the page, and then the text was sent to the auxiliary electronic brain, which checked and filtered the text. The "risk identification library" would directly blacken or replace the harmful text, and finally Then output it to her biological brain. The whole process is efficient and safe, and it basically does not affect her grasp of the overall content of the travel notes.
Gao Wen did not delve into the other party's magical "speed reading ability". Is there any secret? I just asked out of curiosity: “Is there anything you want to say after reading it? ”
Melita thought about itThinking about it, her expression suddenly became serious: "I want to ask first, what do you plan to do with this travelogue?"
She even used the honorific "you" again. Obviously, she was very concerned about this issue. Pay attention, and it has risen to the level of "official business".
"This book is one of the results of the Cecil Empire's "Literature Preservation" project. This project aims to collect and organize the scattered ancient knowledge, protect and restore various ancient books, so this This "Modir's Travels" must be archived," Gao Wen's expression also became serious. He answered, but inadvertently erased the fact that "Modir's Travels" had been copied and archived, "As for the future... ...Most of the knowledge in cultural preservation must be open to the public, which is also the basic national policy of the Cecil Empire - you should also know this."
"Yes...all the people. Literacy, knowledge popularization... a very good system," Melita said with a sigh, but then she frowned and shook her head, "However, some 'knowledge' is not real knowledge, they only People are led in the wrong direction, and they even chase things that are contrary to 'reason'... Can you understand what I say?"
"You mean...the one that seduces Modier? Go deep into the tower," Gawain said slowly, "Yes, I can see that Modir was lured into the tower by some kind of force, and even you should have been affected at the time - and you are now And forgetting these things makes the whole thing even more weird and dangerous."
"Yes, it is dangerous. Letting the world know about the existence of the Voyager Legacy is itself a risk--of course, I am. It’s not that it’s absolutely forbidden for anyone to know about it. After all, at least you and the craftsmen who were responsible for restoring this book have read the contents of the travel notes, but this is a different concept from being open to the public. Some things... are still being published now. It's a little early."
Gawain looked into Melita's eyes: "What do you mean..."
"Only as a friend, I suggest that you give this book a try. Erase the content about Tallond and the giant tower in the travel notes...at least until we have a way to combat the pollution of that tower, do not disclose the relevant content to prevent more reckless people from taking risks," Melita is serious He said in a sincere and sincere tone, "Our god has already glanced this way. I'm not sure how much he knows, but since he didn't come any further, it means that he tacitly allowed me to give you these things." Advice. My friend, I don’t want to use any forceful means to interfere with you and your country, but I really do it for your own good..."
Gawain nodded and interrupted before the other party finished. He said to her: "I know, I agree."
This time Melita was surprised: "Well... you agreed very... happily."
"I again I'm not an unreasonable person, not to mention that I often deal with some weird and dangerous things." Gawain laughed, "I know how tricky they are, and I can understand your concerns. Don't worry, I will take care of them. Hiding risky thingsUp - you should have faith in the execution efficiency of the Cecil Empire and my personal credibility. "
Melita looked relieved: "I trust this very much. "
Then she took a deep breath and stood up holding on to the armrests of the chair: "As for now... I need to go back to Tallond. I must report what happened this time, and I must also go back and investigate clearly about my lost memory. "
"I understand," Gawain nodded, "I wish you all the best. "
He watched Melita get up and walk towards the study door, but when she was about to leave, he suddenly thought of a question: "Wait a minute, I still have a question..."
Melita stopped and looked back in confusion
“About the Legacy of the Sailor—I mean the giant tower,” Gawain said while organizing his thoughts. It obviously has the ability to 'pollute' mortals. I want to know if this pollution is something it has from the beginning? Or is there some factor that causes it to become 'alienated' in this regard? What makes it so dangerous? Is there any other Settler legacy? Are they also polluted? ”
This is something he cares about very, very much, and the biggest reason why he cares about it is that he himself is firmly bound to the “Legacy of the Voyager”!
Space The satellite array, the sky station above the equator, and a series of other ancient facilities... These things are all left by the voyagers, so are they as polluted as the giant tower near Tallond? If so? If so... then it would be difficult for Gawain to feel at ease again!
After listening to Gawain’s question, Melita stood there quietly. After two seconds, she opened her mouth and coughed up blood! Squirted out——
The bright red blood with shimmering light was sprinkled in the room, and some energy contained in it even caused the carpet in the study and part of the desk top to appear corroded green. Smoke!
Gawain was startled for a moment, and the next second he rushed to Melita's side and supported the shaky agent: "Are you okay? ! "
"It exploded... the 68,000 limited edition one with the light ring exploded..." Melita looked at Gawain with a desperate look, her tone even gritted her teeth, "Why... today Why are your problems so dangerous..."
Gawain: "..."
How could he know where to go!
Melita struggled to stand He stood up, shook his body several times before regaining his balance, and said in a low voice after a long time: "Pollution... appeared later, and only that tower has that kind of pollution..."
Gawain didn't expect that the other party would insist on answering his question under such circumstances. He was moved and shocked for a moment, and couldn't help but take a step forward: "You..."
"Don't Said it! "Melita took half a step back in an instant, and almost fell down again due to this violent movement. Then she looked at Gawain, the expression on her face was so complicated that Gawain couldn't understand,"Sorry, this consultation service is over, I have to go back and take a rest...Don't talk to me again, don't say anything..."
Anything more...isn't enough.
