Chapter 1068 Gift

It's been a long time.

When he saw the blue dragon that landed on the square, Gao Wen inexplicably had this thought in his mind—even though he and Melita met only two months ago, this kind of The feeling that things are right and people are wrong has been there for a long time, and it wasn't until the other party nodded slightly that he suddenly realized the source of this feeling.

Not only because too many earth-shattering events have happened in these two months, not only because the history of Tarrond and the human world has changed too much at this turning point, but the main reason is that he From the huge and majestic blue dragon, there was a clear difference in temperament - and a significant change in appearance.

He stepped off the high platform and walked towards Melita. He saw that there were still many scars visible to the naked eye on the other party's huge body, and the most astonishing scar even penetrated nearly half of her neck all the way down. The torso, the flawless scales that had been tended to by robot nannies and advanced compounds, was now weathered, and there were many new, freshly surgical marks scattered across her limbs.

Not only Melita, but the giant dragons that landed with her also suffered injuries of a similar scale. These wounds were uncovered, and everyone around the square could see them with their own eyes. After seeing the scarred appearances of these giant dragons, Many people subconsciously fell silent.

Many people don't know what happened in Tarrond, and they can't imagine how the wounds on these giant dragons were obtained, but these hideous wounds themselves are a kind of silent symbol, and they bring the blood on the battlefield of killing gods. Rain and gunpowder, this kind of momentum from battles is even more substantive than the coercion of the dragon itself, which makes people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Gao Wen came to the envoy composed of seven giant dragons, and the stagnant power in the square finally loosened with his footsteps. Countless eyes fell on the center of the square at the same time, and Melita moved slightly at the same time. Body, her slender neck drooped down, until it was almost able to talk to Gawain face to face: "I salute you, the emperor of the Cecil Empire, on behalf of Tarrond, I visit you with peace and goodwill country."

The agent of the former Mithril Treasure House now came before him as an ambassador of the Dragon Kingdom. Of course, the overly serious diplomatic occasion and strict diplomatic rhetoric made people feel a little uncomfortable, but Gao Wen's expression was still calm, and he nodded slightly , with a smile on his face: "On behalf of the Cecil Empire, I welcome all visitors from the Dragon Kingdom—friendly guests are eternal friends of this land."

Melita seemed to smile - it was not easy to distinguish her expression at the moment, but Gawain thought that the row of fangs with a combined width of one and a half meters should be a smile, and then the blue dragon leaned slightly , and one side of the wing hangs down to the ground: "I also brought your emissary—Ms. You can be satisfied with that."

For some reason, Gao Wen felt that there was a slight pause in Melita's voice when she mentioned the words "Ms. Cassandra".

But this little question didn't occupy his energy. He soon saw a beautiful lady with black hair and a mole at the corner of her eye appearing behind Melita. Gracefully, after waving to the crowd not far away, he slithered briskly along the dragon's wings and slid in front of Gao Wen - his serpentine "steps" like flowing clouds and flowing water caught the eyes of many people, and some people Suddenly, some people were surprised, and some people's eyes subconsciously fell on Tyre, who was stretching his neck to watch the excitement beside the high platform not far away.

——The sea monsters are still a mysterious and rare race to ordinary people in Cecil. Those who live in this city and have seen the sea monsters have most of their impressions of these deep sea allies obviously only come from the only local Siren Tyr, in the absence of relevant publicity and common sense, most people obviously think that the race of Siren walks like an arch...

Even Gawain hadn't thought of this little flaw—but fortunately, it was harmless.

Anyway, the Krakens are lenient.

At the same time, the giant dragons who were walking with Melita also started to get busy. With the help of magic, they began to transfer many packed boxes that were originally fixed on their backs to the ground, and they had already made good preparations around the square. The prepared convoy and staff then stepped forward to register the handover of the gifts—the media who were recording around did not let go of this moment, and a large number of photo installations came into focus in an instant.

Everything that happened today is unprecedented, and every picture recorded has a special meaning. Any scholar or reporter present is very clear that any image or even a few words they record at this moment may appear in historical materials in a few years. Up.

Gao Wen's attention was also attracted by those large and small boxes, but he just glanced over and didn't ask at this moment—this is a formal official contact with strict procedures, but at this moment it is not When officially accepting the gift, his curiosity must be reserved for the middle of the banquet process later.

But even so, his eyes stopped suddenly when scanning those boxes: some kind of weird intuition suddenly emerged in his heart, making his eyes subconsciously fall on one of the boxes.

It was an extraordinarily thick and sturdy metal box, and its surface was covered with dense dragon language runes. It was obviously extra-protected, because three giant dragons never left the box from the beginning to the end. obvious.

"That box..." Gawain couldn't help but finally opened his mouth, because he believed that his intuition as a legendary powerhouse must not just jump out of idleness and boredom at this time, "What is it?"

Melita lowered her head: "This is the most special 'gift', but because it is too special, it is not included in the gift list. I will personally deliver it to you later."

Gao Wen: "...?"

...

It wasn't until night fell and the starlight shrouded the earth that the grand and grand welcome ceremony finally came to an end, and an equally grand dinner was held in the "Autumn Palace" near Cecil Palace.

This may be the biggest banquet held here since Matilda, the special envoy of Typhon, visited Cecil. The delicious food, and the imperial officials and representatives from all walks of life who are fortunate enough to be invited to the banquet will also try their best to show the grace and dignity of human civilization here-after all, for humans, the race of dragons is almost legendary, they It has been mysterious for too many years in all kinds of strange stories, and today is the first day they unveil the mystery.

The huge banquet hall was brightly lit, the aroma of delicious food and wine permeated the cups, plates, tables and chairs, and the melodious sound of brisk music, the envoys of the giant dragon in human form received warm hospitality, and as the representative of the mission, Tal Lund's ambassador, Melita Purnia, was naturally placed next to Gao Wen.

It was only at this time that Gao Wen was able to relax and talk to Melita.

"When you arrived in Northport, Cassandra reported something to me," Gawain looked at Miss Blue Dragon, "She talked about what happened in Tarrond—a part of it. You broke the cradle , the entire arctic continent has been turned into wasteland in the flames of war, and there are no survivors... Even though there are only a few words in the description, I can imagine what it was like. Frankly speaking, I was shocked, even a little admired, that It is a war we cannot imagine, and it is an unbearable price."

"We also know what happened in the human world." Melita's eyes turned away from the direction of the banquet hall and fell on Gao Wen. "It was also a war that determined the survival of the race, and it also shocked us."

"We have also paid a great price—maybe incomparable to your sacrifice, but in essence, we have done the same thing," Gao Wen shook his head, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and the bright red liquid in the glass Shaking, reflecting the tiny lights, he seemed to see the flames of war and explosions all over the ground on the battlefield of Winterhold that day again, "We... killed our own gods."

"We killed our own gods," Melita softly repeated Gawain's words, "in the name of freedom and survival."

"This world is so cruel that many times we have no right to decide which way we should go," Gao Wen said quietly, and then he looked into Melita's eyes with a serious expression, "But no matter what, we finally The first crack was dug out of this cruel ice, and the mortal race in the world had a chance to breathe."

"Yes, we made this feat together," Melita smiled calmly, "So, now the dragons and humans have become natural allies."

Having said that, she paused, and continued solemnly: "We know that you are committed to establishing a new order among the mortal kingdoms, in order to unite the mortal forces of the entire world and face the challenges of this world together. Disaster, I can promise you here—that is why we are here, and Tarrond will support you in this feat. In any case, as long as your original intention remains the same, the dragon family will be Cecil Allies forever."

Gao Wen's expression became solemn and serious, he met Melita's gaze, and after staring at it for a moment, he said: "I knew your intentions when I just received the message from Cassandra, but I didn't expect You're going to be so determined...and it sounds like you're putting all your faith in Cecil."

"Because this change started with Cecil, and in the foreseeable future, it will go down the path you imagined," Melita said seriously, "As for why we are so determined... ..."

She smiled, with a self-deprecating look on her face.

"Talrond is not what it used to be—you mentioned Ms. Cassandra's report just now, but I want to say that no matter how detailed her report is, the real situation in Tarrond is better than you imagined. It's even worse. The Dragon Clan has fallen into a predicament. We are now relying on our own strong innate conditions and the remaining materials on the wasteland to support ourselves as a "civilization". Frankly speaking, if we want to survive in the future, we may even We need external support, and in this situation, we don't have much choice, and naturally we won't have any needless reserve and hesitation anymore."

Gawain glanced at Melita in surprise: "You told me very frankly."

Melita smiled back: "Because we are friends."

"... Well, then I also hope that Tarrond and Cecil can become friends." Gawain smiled and raised his glass of wine, "For friendship—and our common existence."

"For friendship and common existence," Melita responded with a toast, and then she looked at the banquet hall, hesitated and reminded, "Do you still remember the special way of 'eating' by the dragon?"

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized: "Of course, you need 'two meals' - don't worry, we have prepared enough food besides this banquet, you and your friends will get the best hospitality."

Melita breathed a sigh of relief, but Gao Wen couldn't help but ask after thinking for a while, "By the way, what's inside that 'special' big box you mentioned?"

"You seem to care?"

"That's right." Gawain nodded. "The main reason is that I have a feeling... I can't say it, but I seem to be able to sense a certain aura, and the things in that box seem to have some kind of attraction for me."

In an instant, Melita opened her eyes slightly, and shook her head with a sigh after a while: "So that's the case... No wonder I have to leave it to you, it seems that everything is arranged."

"Arranged?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "So what's in that box?"

"It's almost time..." Melita raised her head and saw that the atmosphere in the banquet hall was turning calm. A group of new waiters entered the hall, and the band was changing the repertoire. According to her understanding of human society, this It is a sign that the formal banquet is coming to an end, "Then after the banquet, I will tell you what it is."

...

The dinner was over, and all follow-up matters had been arranged. Gawain returned to his palace, and shortly after that, Melita came to visit as scheduled.

In the lobby on the first floor, irrelevant personnel had been screened out in advance. According to Melita's prior reminder, only the most trusted personnel around Gawain were left on the scene: Amber, Hetty, and Rebecca.

A large metal box protected by layers of runes was placed in the center of the hall. Gawain and the others stood in front of the metal box. Rebecca looked at the big box in front of her curiously, and finally restrained herself from poking it twice. The impulse, but still couldn't help but said: "My lord ancestor, what is this thing?"

"Melita, you can reveal the answer now," Gawain looked at Miss Blue Dragon standing beside the box, "What the hell is this?"

This time, Melita finally didn't give a damn. She put her hand on the surface of the box, and the sequence of runes lit up. At the same time, there was a slight sound of the mechanical device releasing the lock from around the tightly sealed box, and then its The cover slowly opened to the surroundings, and a sphere exuding pale golden light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"This is a dragon egg," Melita took a breath, and said solemnly, "Now it's in your care."

Gao Wen: "...huh?"

At the same time, three eyes fell on him at the same time.

Melita took another breath, her expression more solemn: "Our goddess left a metaphor after her fall to entrust this egg to you."

Gao Wen: "...huh?"

The three lines of sight around him became even weirder.
