Chapter 959: Going deeper into the topic

When the pale golden light in front of him disappeared, Gawain found that he had left the mountain overlooking Argondor, and the large and magnificent murals and magnificent columns of the upper temple stood in front of him.

The corridor leading to the temple hall stretched in front of him. The temple guards on both sides of the corridor stood silently and solemnly like sculptures. The high-level dragon priest Herago stood beside him, and powerful magic waves were flowing through him. The surroundings gradually calmed down.

"That was some kind of space teleportation just now?" Gawain looked at the high-level priest with some surprise, "Have you mastered the technology of distorting time and space?"

"Then It's the realm of gods, I'm just imitating it," Herago said in a gentle tone.

"It seems that the dragon priests also borrow their power from the gods," Gawain nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the wide corridor ahead, "Can we just go there?"

Gawain raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Don't you need to stand beside your god?"

"This is a 'single' meeting," Herago said meticulously, "His Majesty Gawain Cecil."

This seems a bit interesting...

A strange feeling and some speculation suddenly appeared in Gawain's heart. Then he said nothing, stepped past Heragor who was guarding the door, and generously stepped across the open, covered door. There are giant reliefs more than ten meters high, golden carvings, and a majestic gate made of unknown materials.

A soft and comfortable light shines on the holy hall. The hall is still as empty as the last time I visited. Except for a circle of columns and crystal curtains hanging from the top of the columns, almost nothing can be seen in the entire space. There are other furnishings, but in the center of the hall, the holy throne of the gods has long been put away, replaced by a silver-white round table.

There were refreshments on the round table, and two chairs stood beside the round table. Dragon God Enya was standing in front of one of the chairs, looking in the direction of the door with a gentle expression on her face.

When Gawain came to the round table, he first checked his surroundings and found that there were really only himself and Enya in this huge hall - this so-called one-on-one meeting was exactly what it meant, even Not even a single attendant or guard could be seen.

After the surprise, he couldn't help but laugh and joke: "Isn't it a bit wasteful to only use such a wide place for two 'people' to talk?"

"That's not necessary," Gawain said. Waving his hand, "It would be nice if it was more spacious. We can talk openly."

The Dragon God didn't pay attention to his weird "pun" way of speaking. He just nodded, and then looked into Gawain's eyes: "Well, since this is the first private conversation, maybe I should introduce myself again. "For a moment."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Gawain and said in a low and soft voice: "Enya, the protector of Tallond, the dragon gods."

Gawain looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, but did not respond immediately. The voice of Dragon God Enya floated into his ears, making him slightly open his eyes. However, in addition to being a little surprised and stunned, he was more It feels like "it's true".

"Gods"!

Since crossing the Eternal Storm, one of his countless guesses and conjectures about Tallond has finally been confirmed.

The Dragon God still held out a hand, showing no sign of impatience. It was only after seeing Gawain lost in thought that he casually said: "It is not a good habit to keep a lady waiting for too long. ."

Gawain woke up from his slightly distracted state. He hesitated, but still held the other person's soft and warm fingers for a moment, shook hands politely, and then quickly let go - and in During this process, he did not see the illusion of the "Dragon of Chaos" again. It seemed that the Dragon God had some kind of deliberate control this time.

"Do gods really have genders?" After withdrawing his hand, he glanced at Dragon God again and asked curiously, "Even if gods have genders, do 'gods' also have genders?"

"In most early civilizations' religions, the role of 'protector' corresponds to the image of motherhood," Dragon God said lightly, "Of course, this is not absolute - but at least for me. In other words, the role of 'mother' is more satisfying to me."

Gawain sat down on his own chair, and a large oak cup was automatically filled in front of him. The liquid swayed gently, reflecting the golden dome of the temple hall and the small half of Gawain's face.

He looked at the gods in front of him: "So, your 'mother' is actually the fusion of many gods? The... thing I saw is something..."

He suddenly felt a little stuck, because he really couldn't find gentle and euphemistic words to describe what he was thinking at the moment. The god in front of him seemed to notice this. He showed a smile and said casually in a completely nonchalant tone. : "Don't worry, just say whatever comes to mind. Since today is a 'separate conversation', we can talk more deeply. No matter what you want to ask or what you want to say, you can say it boldly."

"A perfect guess is almost the whole truth," Dragon God said lightly, "There is only one missing detail - the 'some reason' in your mouth. You already have an idea about this 'some reason', don't you? "

Gawain immediately frowned imperceptibly. He vaguely figured out some key points. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to speak out: "Yes, I have an idea. The source of this idea." Regarding some of the things I saw while traveling through the Eternal Storm - let me make it clear, I saw a battlefield in the center of the Eternal Storm, a battlefield between dragons and 'gods'. Although I didn't recognize those huge attackers, my intuition told me that those things were the dragon gods. However, the strange thing is that I am the only one who remembers these things after leaving the storm. Amber, Veronica and Melita do not remember..."

"This is out of kindness," Long God said, "Seeing those things is not good for mortals' mental health. Cleaning memories and erasing traces are all to remove the mental pollution they suffered. "

Gawain put his hand next to the oak cup, and his eyes fell on the Dragon God: "So... it was indeed you who did it at that time. "

The Dragon God nodded calmly: "It is indeed me. "

"Then why didn't you 'process' my memory by the way? Gawain asked curiously, "Or do you intend to keep my memory just to talk to me about these things today?" "

"...I tried, but failed," the Dragon God seemed to hesitate briefly, and then said an answer that surprised Gawain, "In fact, I tried for a whole six times. "

Gao Wen: "? "

"It seems that you didn't even feel that a god had tried to cleanse your memory," Dragon God Enya said unhurriedly, "In fact, when I realized that I was facing I knew this would be the result when I encountered a sea of ​​memories that was vast, endless, and rapidly repairing itself and protectively reorganizing itself every second. "

Gawain's expression gradually became serious: "What else did you find? ”

“Please rest assured that I did not pry into your memory - I have no authority in this regard. Even if I did, I doubt whether I can see anything useful from your memory. And whether you can ensure your own safety in the process," Dragon God laughed, "After all... you are closely connected with the Sailor, and no god is willing to collide head-on with the Legacy of the Sailor. "

Gawain's hand holding the oak cup shook very slightly - he knew that this slight shake could not hide from the eyes of the "god" opposite.

"You What else do you know? "He raised his head and looked at the other person.

"Not long after your "resurrection", I noticed the changes in the human world."Dragon God just smiled flatly, his expression never seemed to change much, "You have brought many things to this world, and quite a few of them are beyond the development stage of mortal society at that time, and beyond the development stage of mortal society at that time. The knowledge and experience that the real 'Gawain Cecil' could master. Although you have been very serious about making yourself look like a normal human being, in my opinion... you are not like enough.

“I have a lot of clues, but I don’t have to tell you every clue. Here, I just want to send greetings to the ‘real you’ as a dragon god— —The Dragon Gods say hello to you, Outer Territory Wanderer."

"Outside Territory Wanderer..." Gawain couldn't help but smile, "Actually, it was just to scare those dark cultists at first..."< /p>

"But it is not completely fabricated," the dragon god looked at Gawain with a half-smile, "and it is used to describe someone who comes from nowhere, arrives for no reason, and has no purpose." Alien Soul' is very appropriate, isn't it? "

"...It seems that the connection between the Dragon Clan and the Sailor is deeper than I thought."

The Dragon God did not respond to this sentence. He just looked at Gawain up and down with a certain scrutiny, and asked curiously: "Actually, there is one thing that I care about very much - even if you have a certain connection with the legacy of the Sailor, but what you are currently using It's still just a human body. This body is very fragile. No offense - but I can crush the body you are using with one finger, but you still accepted my invitation and put down the huge empire you just built. , came to Tallond with only two 'guards' who were better than nothing... Are you really not worried that the dragons have any malicious intentions, or that I, the 'god', have any malicious intentions?"

Gawain? He held up the oak cup and took a sip, then raised an eyebrow: "You were the one who took the initiative to invite me, and you invited me twice."

"Inviting is one thing, going to an appointment is another. "It's the same thing," the Dragon God obviously didn't want to hear a perfunctory answer. "From a common sense point of view, your current status in the mortal world determines that you should not act so rashly. From a cautious point of view, whether it is Tallond Or the 'Dragon God', for humans, it is considered a camp with unknown enemies and ourselves. Considering your existing knowledge of gods, you should have a certain degree of natural hostility towards me, so I am even more curious... In this case What confidence do you have to come to Tallond for an appointment like this when it is worthy of vigilance?"

The eyes of this "God of Tallond" fell on Gawain. The pale golden eyes seemed to be brewing with unimaginable power. While breathing, Gawain could even feel the entire upper temple trembling slightly.

He has no doubt that this "god" does have the power to kill him in an instant - He has been living in this world for too long, and the Dragon Clan has been developing in this world for too long. The God of Lund has long been powerful to an incredible extent. His power is difficult for any mortal to resist.

In addition to "Sail".

"Do you have a reason to take action? "Gawain asked calmly in the face of Enya Ruoyouruowu's pressure.

"Yes - just because you have a certain connection with the legacy of the sailor, you are already a natural of 'god' Hidden danger, and you, the hidden danger, are now in a state where it is very easy to be killed. Quite a few gods will choose to eliminate the threat in this situation. "

"Then I will assume that you have a reason to do it," Gawain put down the oak cup and leaned back on the gorgeous golden seat very relaxedly, but his eyes floated upward, as if through the hall. The dome looks at the bright starry sky of the North Pole, "But you have to know that the legacy left by the Voyager spreads throughout the entire space. The orbits of some of the on-orbit facilities will cross the North Pole, and at any time, there are at least three gravity-anchored satellites. And a large gravity-anchored space station watches over Tallond... while more unanchored facilities will pass through the skies near Tallond within twelve hours. "

"...So, this is your so-called 'trump card'? "The Dragon God frowned, and then shook his head slightly disappointedly, "I had higher expectations - do you think I don't know? The facilities you mentioned have exhausted their energy sources many years ago. Apart from the sky, all that Voyager left in space are hundreds of cold tombstones. Your trump card is those without any attack capabilities. Tombstone'? "

"They indeed have no offensive capabilities. All their main energy sources are offline, and their self-repair functions have collapsed. Now they are just relying on backup energy sources to maintain orbit," Gawain said calmly, "No matter Tallond. There are so many satellites and space stations floating in the sky that they really can’t even fire at the ground..."

He paused slightly and raised the corners of his mouth: "But what if they fall? "

The Dragon God's eyes finally became serious.

"There is an instruction that even if the energy of those facilities is on the verge of exhaustion, it can still be used, because it relies on backup energy to complete it. ," Gawain held up the oak cup again and saw that the drink in the cup had been filled again. He showed a smile of satisfaction and said happily, "'Abandonment Agreement' is used to make space facilities that have exceeded their limits safe. Retirement - Before departure, I have set Tallond as the target for twelve satellites and three space stations to fall. As soon as the agreement takes effect, the legacy of the Voyager will fall from the sky - I want to ask, Tal Can Lund's big shield block them? "

"...even if the meteorite falls, the large shield will be safe, but if the legacy of the sailor falls from the sky...the shield will indeed be unable to withstand it," the Dragon God seemed to hold his breath for a few seconds before speaking. He spoke to break the silence, "Some dangerous devices and remaining weapons in those satellites and space stations will explode, harmful substances will pollute the entire ecosystem, and countless dragons will die, and I will protect them without hesitation - and be seriously injured as a result, Even fall. "

He took a long breath and looked at Gawain with a solemn gaze: "Okay, I admit that this is a good card. But you reallyAre you sure you can issue an abandonment agreement in time? Maybe... I can destroy you before you react, so that you can't give orders, or I can interfere with your thinking, so that you can't give orders accurately - I can do it very fast, even as fast as your mortal body My nerve reflex speed simply cannot keep up. Have you ever thought about this possibility? "

Gawain raised his eyebrows.

He put down the oak cup in his hand (this does require a little willpower), then took out the mechanical watch from his arms and glanced at the Time.

“You’ve got one thing wrong,” he said. “I didn’t need to give the order to scrap the agreement—I already gave it.

“After passing through the Eternal Storm and before setting foot on the Tallond continent, I ordered to start the abandonment process of all the space facilities on the list. Twelve satellites and three large space stations have already started operations. ——It’s just that I gave them a twelve-hour countdown for final confirmation.

“And what I’m doing these days is delaying them every twelve hours. ”
