For half a minute, Gawain looked at Melita quietly, and Melita looked at Gawain quietly.
The former looked stunned, while the latter looked confused.
In the end, Gawain was the first to react. The corner of his mouth trembled and he subconsciously pointed at Melita's long lavender hair: "Why don't dragons have hair? You..."< /p>
"Our human form is a magic effect. Of course, the magic effect can be anything - I became like this just because I like it," Melita said matter-of-factly, pointing at the same time. Pointing to the top of his head, "The dragon form is my real body - I have scales, where does my hair come from?"
Gowen: "You...are really reasonable..."
Melita thought for a while and then added kindly: "It seems that your friend will be disappointed - Tallond will not have similar products and technologies, unless The industry closest to us is scale polishing, dyeing, and implantation technology, which is a type of beauty. If your friend doesn't mind, you can try transplanting a layer of scales. There are many colors to choose from, and in the future, the scalp It can also protect against sword and bayonet cuts..."
Gawain didn't see the slightest bit of joking on the face of the agent lady - obviously she was quite serious, but Gawain made up his own mind After a while, a dragon-scale scalp version of Solderin came to mind, which made him shudder for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, he is already... well, bright enough."
In fact, if he thinks about it carefully, he feels that Melita's suggestion is still attractive. If it is not considered from the aesthetic point of view, a head with synthetic scales implanted to become invulnerable is obviously very practical. Value, a truly strong man should not mind this, but he recognized that this is useless. The key is that Solderin should not be able to accept this...
I realized that more and more thoughts were emerging in my mind. With more and more strange associations coming, Gawain decided to end this embarrassing topic.
"We have been stranded in Tallond for several days," he said suddenly, "Maybe in a few days, we should leave."
"So soon?" Melita's eyes widened in surprise, "You can definitely stay here longer - it's not easy for Tallond to entertain guests."
"But Cecil is still here now. We cannot operate for a long time in the absence of the emperor. We have been away from the continent of Loren for too long." Gawain shook his head, "Every banquet in the world must come to an end... An interesting statement. The Cecil people say that their emperor is a master of grammar who can create many wonderful sentences. It seems that there is some truth to this statement." Melita said with a smile.
Gawain didn't need to inquire to know that this was closely related to the "Emperor's Holy Words" compiled secretly by someone...
He coughed dryly and continued: "Although I have already made plans to leave, but to be honest, IThere are still many things that are not understood...such as about the magic tide, about the dragon clan's way of resisting the magic tide, about the signal we once received...You should still remember that I asked you to help investigate whether the mysterious signal was related to Tal Lund is related, and now I feel that Tal Lund, who has such a deep accumulation, should know more secrets behind that signal, but these things... I can't directly ask your god. "
Melita's expression became slightly more serious: "Because these things can easily involve specific technologies. "
"You cannot obtain technology or technical knowledge from the mouth of the gods. If possible, it is best not to even ask," Gawain nodded, "I don't mind asking about some ancient knowledge from the mouth of the Dragon God. history or secrets that have nothing to do with human society, because we can treat them as stories, but magic tides and signals, these things I really dare not ask him. "
"These questions... I also need to apply to my superiors to determine whether I can communicate with you," Melita hesitated, and then said slowly, "But there are some things I can tell you. , about why Tallond can experience the demonic tides again and again unharmed..."
At this point, she paused and raised her finger to point upward.
"You may have guessed it - Talrond's Great Shield, our largest defensive barrier, is the key to allowing the dragon clan to survive the demonic tide safely. "
Talond's big shield...
Gawain subconsciously pinched his forehead. This was actually an idea he had had before. He thought about the dragon clan's defense against demons. Tide's technology should be related to the large shield, but this cannot explain a problem -
"Even if the large shield can protect the creatures on the Tallond continent when the magic tide arrives, But how did you successfully adapt to the earth-shattering world outside the shield after the demon tide ended? Of course, I am not referring to the small demon tide that Gondor has experienced, but the big demon tide that can really affect the entire world." He frowned and asked, "After the big demon tide, the magic rules of the entire world will be changed. Reset, a lot of matter has become unfamiliar, but you can still survive safely after coming out of the big shield... Is it just relying on the dragon's strong physical fitness? "
Listening to Gawain's words, Melita suddenly showed a strange look in her eyes. Her eyes fell on Gawain for a while, and then she asked uncertainly: "I want to know, Who revealed to you that the arrival of the Great Demonic Tide will lead to changes in the world's magic rules and the form and properties of a large amount of matter? "
Gawain sensed something was wrong from the other party's expression, and his expression became extremely serious: "This is the information revealed to us by the Siren - like you, they have also observed hundreds of people in this world. For thousands of years, Cecil has a closer relationship with the Siren than with Tallond, so we all obtained previous knowledge about the large and small demon tides, black traps, countertides, etc. from the Siren. What do you mean...did the siren give us the information about the big demon?Is Chao’s information false? "
"...No, they didn't lie to you. That is indeed the world in their eyes. The arrival of the demonic tide will indeed turn the whole world upside down, but I think your understanding of this..." Meili Ta said with a weird expression, but just halfway through her words, her expression suddenly changed, and then she dropped the cup in her hand, pressed her chest painfully with her hand, and all subsequent words were followed by a low roar. and gasping instead.
Gawain was suddenly startled: "Are you okay? ! "
Melita breathed hard for a long time before she finally regained her composure. She held on to the bar next to her and slowly raised her head. She looked at Gawain with a pale face and a complicated expression: "I really don't have any. I thought that it would be like this when I talk to you about some small talk at home..."
Gawain: "So just now..."
"The gods warned me...not to talk to you again. You continue to discuss this topic," Melita said in a weak tone, "I'm sorry, I can't help you anymore. ”
Gawain’s expression began to become serious. Although Melita only said half of what she said just now, it already caused a lot of fluctuations in his heart. He vaguely felt as if he had caught something, and his thoughts He couldn't help but spread the word, and seeing the agent's painful expression after being directly warned by the gods at this moment, he paid special attention to the information behind this topic.
Human beings' recognition of the "Great Demonic Tide"! Is the information about the Sea Monster not completely accurate? Where will the breakthrough come from? The Dragon Clan’s technology or the Sea Monster’s intelligence?
Her breathing became a little short, and Melita stood up with difficulty holding on to the bar. She swayed on the spot before finally standing firm, and then showed an apologetic look to Gawain: "Sorry, I can't do it. Come with me, I need to go back and do some...small health checks..."
"It's me who should be sorry," Gawain immediately stood up with a sincere apology on his face. , "If I hadn't spoken randomly..."
"No, no one can predict the moment when the chain will suddenly strangle the neck, and no one can predict when the wall will appear... Dragons We are all used to it." Melita showed a pale smile. She shook her head, turned around unsteadily and wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped. She looked back at Gawain, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, " Although I can't continue talking to you, I think... God is reminding us of something in this way. "
Gawain thought thoughtfully: "Remind us? ”
Melita took a deep breath: “He doesn’t want you to get a direct answer from me, which means that this answer may be...very special, very important...maybe it must come from you.” Solve it yourself, without any pretense of external help. ”
After saying this, she closed her eyes slightly, turned around and slowly walked towards the exit of the room.
Her last words reached Gawain’s ears.中文：“I will go backI will try to check the follow-up information of the signals I reported last time - this time with the needs of you as a 'distinguished guest', maybe the superiors will approve my application. ”
Melita left, leaving Gawain standing alone in the huge room. The latter’s brows wrinkled and relaxed several times. In deep thought, he began to slowly walk around the room. Walking around.
......
The god went to rest, and his incarnation disappeared into the splendid temple, returning to some extradimensional state that mortals could not perceive.
Hragor still stood respectfully in front of the Holy See, lowering his hands as if waiting for orders.
He knew that although the god had left, the sight of the god would always remain. There are countless eyes that never rest watching this ancient land. Under the gaze of the gods, every dragon must live cautiously. He must stay here according to the duties of a high-level dragon priest until the canon. The required time.
He stood like this for who knows how long. Finally, he stood for the time specified in the doctrine.
The gods were still resting before the next summons. It still took a long time, but the dragon priest was temporarily free.
Heragor raised his head and walked out of the temple hall without hesitation - his steps were slow, but he was gradually surrounded by people. With a faint glow, he walked into the depths of the glow, and the next second, he came to the depths of the gorgeous palace where the upper committee was located.
Speaker Andal was half asleep. Waking up with a start, he heard Omega's voice ringing in his mind: "Your Majesty the Speaker, High Priest Herago wants to meet with you. "
Andal's mechanical prosthetic eye shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "... put it through." "
"The High Priest is not online - he is outside your door. "
Andal woke up completely. His head moved. There was a slight sound of liquid pumping in the large number of cables and pipes connected to the body. He spoke after two seconds: "Okay. Well, let him in - no other visitors for now. "
The mechanical door leading to the "Throne of the Soul" hall opened automatically, and Heragor stepped into it. The high-level dragon priest raised his head and looked at the people on the platform in front of him who were covered with blood everywhere. The old dragon with traces of mechanical transformation nodded slightly: "I'm glad to see you are still healthy, Mr. Speaker. ”
“High Priest, it’s rare that you will step into the headquarters of the Council in person instead of directly passing the message to me through the Omega Network.” Several implant components on Andal’s head flashed. With a slight flicker of light, his voice echoed throughout the hall through the loudspeaker, "Is there anything important that you need to convey in person? ”
“God is resting. He issued an edict to temporarily cancel this century’s inspection plan for the two ancient continents of Kaldor and Moore. The original Far Traveler team was disbanded on the spot and settled in Tallon Virtue on standby. "
"Why? "Andal couldn't help but ask.
"There is no reason whyWell," Heragor said lightly, "Just execute it. "
Andal's eyes fell on Herago. After staring for a few seconds, he looked back and said in a deep voice: "...I understand. "
However, the high-level dragon priest who had delivered the "oracle" did not leave, and still stood quietly.
"Is there anything else? "Andal couldn't help but ask.
"The second thing——"
Heragor said lightly, and then took out a small amulet from his arms ——The amulet is made of an unknown metal, with little shimmers floating on its silver-white surface. However, it seems to be insubstantial, and its edges are constantly showing a vague translucency. It is almost floating in the hands of the Dragon Priest. , rather than an object that exists in the real world, it is more like a "projection" forcibly dragged from another time and space by some kind of force.
The moment I saw the talisman. , Andal's breath subconsciously missed for half a beat, and the next second, he saw Herago crushing the "talisman projection" between reality and reality without hesitation.
"Hragor! You—" The Speaker couldn't help shouting. His upper body shook, and the countless pipes and cables connected to it rattled, and even the crystal curtains showing various data around the hall instantly appeared on the surface. Countless messy ripples
“The second thing,” Heragore repeated, bits and pieces of the talisman in his hand dissipated in the air, “Within three minutes from now, We are all outside the sight of God. ”
The last fragment of the talisman completely dissipated in the air.
Andal sat high on the throne of his soul, still like a sculpture, watching the standing Herago below
For the first time in more than a million years, he felt his heart pound.
