Chapter 1069 God's Gift

There was an eerie silence in the hall.

The outer shell of the metal box has been completely opened under the action of the mechanical device, and the items contained in it are presented to everyone—Gao Wen's thought "This My Little Pony must be amusing me" followed the appearance of the pale golden sphere And the smoke disappeared, among other things, at least one thing he can be sure of: this thing is really a dragon egg...

The dragon clan, the dragon clan that survived the collapse of Tarrond, and the dragon clan that sent envoys across the northern ice ocean and thousands of mountains and rivers to establish diplomatic relations after being severely injured, they took so much effort to send themselves a dragon egg.

Judging by common sense, as long as Melita's head was not damaged in the previous war, she must not be joking with herself about the source of this egg.

After a full two minutes of silence, Gao Wen finally broke the silence: "...the goddess you are talking about is Enya, right?"

Melita's expression was a bit complicated, and she said softly with a sigh: "Yes - the asylum locked the god of Tarrond again, Enya... Now I can directly call his name."

"Then what does this egg mean?" Gao Wen felt that his head was not enough for the first time, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and it took a lot of effort to keep his tone calm, "Why would your gods Leave a last wish for you to give me this egg? No, more importantly—why is there such an egg?"

As soon as Gao Wen finished speaking, Amber on the side showed a slightly weird look. The half-elf suddenly turned his head, staring straight at Gawain's face, hesitating to speak. The expression on her face——she was undoubtedly preparing a bold speech of about 800 characters, but the basic sense of crisis and survival awareness were still at work, keeping those bold speeches in her stomach for the time being.

No kidding, Amber is still very confident in her own strength, she knows that whenever she speaks out the bold idea in her mind, Gao Wen can pick up an onion and shoot herself on the ceiling - this matter she is experienced.

But not everyone has such a sense of crisis as Amber——Rebecca, who was standing aside and concentrating on studying the dragon egg, suddenly turned her head and said casually: "Master Ancestor! Didn't you say that you and that person How many times has the Dragon God chatted? Could it be that time I accidentally stayed..."

As soon as the silly roe deer spoke halfway, Hetty raised her hand and pressed it on her shoulder. The conditioned reflex that she had raised since she was a child took effect instantly, and Rebecca's whole body was visibly excited. The rest of the words I just swallowed it all back...

Gawain silently glanced at Rebecca, then looked at Hetty whose face had darkened, with a gentle smile on his face: "Forget it, now there are outsiders present."

Rebecca: "..."

Melita stood aside,

Looking at the scene in front of her curiously, watching the interaction between Gao Wen and his family members - this feeling is very strange, because she never imagined that someone like Gao Wen who looks serious and wears a lot of halo is in the world. There is such a relaxed and interesting atmosphere when getting along with her family in private. On the other hand, as a "professional employee" customized by a certain biochemical company, she has never experienced what it feels like to live in a similar family.

In the long past, boosters, work schedules and omega systems have arranged almost all of her life together, and she has never felt that there is anything wrong with it, but at a certain moment now, she feels that she is a little bit ……envious.

But soon, she got rid of this weird emotion and shook her head: "Ahem, I don't really want to disturb you, but I still have to explain clearly about this dragon egg.

"First of all, I actually don't know how this dragon egg...was produced. Even our leader hasn't figured it out yet. Now we can only confirm that it is a remnant after our gods left, but among them The mechanism is still unclear.

"Secondly, when God left a metaphor to entrust the dragon egg to you, he also left some words at the same time. These messages are of great significance. I hope you will listen carefully."

Seeing the extraordinarily serious expression on Melita's face, Gawain instantly realized that this matter was no small matter. He quickly concentrated his attention and looked into the other person's eyes seriously: "What message?"

Melita cleared her throat, and said solemnly: "The first rule: As a natural phenomenon, 'gods' will never perish in essence..."

She repeated the words Calador relayed to herself before leaving, word by word, clearly. As the party listening, Gawain's expression changed from the moment he heard the first content. After that, his tense face never relaxed for a moment. It was not until two seconds after Melita finished speaking that his eyes rolled, and then his eyes fell on the pale golden dragon egg. ——The latter is still standing quietly on the pedestal at the bottom of the metal box, exuding a constant dim light, without any response to the surrounding eyes, and it seems to be sealed with endless secrets inside.

At this moment, Gao Wen couldn't help but think of the first content he heard just now: Gods, as a natural phenomenon, never perish in essence...

The dragon god is nominally the patron saint of the dragon race, but in essence it is also a collection of various symbols of divinity. Since the birth of the dragon as a mortal race, all the natural phenomena that the dragon has been in awe of - flame, frost, thunder and lightning, life, death , and even nature itself... All of these gathered on the Dragon God, and as the giant dragon successfully broke through the shackles of adulthood, these "awes" also disappeared, so the Dragon God as a certain "aggregate"... Will He eventually disintegrate into the most primitive symbolic concepts and return to the "deep sea", or will he leave some residue due to the gathering of humanity?

"The necessary element of the third story..." Gawain muttered softly, his eyes never leaving the dragon egg, he was suddenly a little curious, and looked at Melita beside him, "This necessary element refers to the egg , or those four conclusive conclusions?"

"We don't know...God's will is always vague, but it may also be that our understanding is limited." Melita shook her head, "Maybe it's both? After all, we still don't know enough about God , in this regard, you seem to have some kind of special talent, and you can easily comprehend many metaphors about gods."

She raised her eyelids and looked into Gawain's eyes: "So do you know what the 'third story' the gods refer to? Our leader asked me to ask you before leaving: Are mortals really still alive?" Another option?"

Gao Wen was silent, thinking quietly in silence. He thought carefully for a long time before he said in a low tone: "Actually, I have been thinking about this question since the fall of the God of War...Gods are born of human thoughts, but It has also become a catastrophe for mortals due to changes in thought trends. Ushering in the end of the countdown in surrender is one way, and seeking survival in killing gods is another way, and as for the third way... I have been thinking about 'coexistence' possible."

"It sounds difficult," Melita said bluntly.

"It's been hard, but we're not without progress - we've managed to de-god gods like the 'Upper Storyteller' and to some extent 'unleash' the relationship with the Gods of Nature and Goddesses of Magic. Now we are still trying to subtly separate from the God of Holy Light," Gawain said while thinking, he knew that the dragon clan is a natural ally in the cause of rebellion, and the other party has successfully broken free from the chain, so When he talked about this in front of Melita, he didn't have to hold anything back, "The only problem now is that all these 'success stories' are too harsh, and behind every success are unrepeatable constraints, and what humans have to face The right gods are many..."

"And there will always be new gods born," Melita said, "In addition, you can't be sure that all gods are willing to cooperate with your 'coexistence' plan-mortals themselves are changeable, changeable mortals It brings about a changeable trend of thought, which is destined to make it impossible for you to treat the gods as some kind of "mass production model", and every god you have to face...is a unique "individual case."

"No matter how unique a case is, there will be a common logic behind it, at least 'born from a trend of thought' is their common logic," Gao Wen said seriously, "So I have a plan now, based on the idea of ​​bringing together the mortal kingdoms On the basis of this alliance, I named it the 'Theocratic Council'."

Melita was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood the possible meaning behind this word. She gradually opened her eyes wide and looked at Gawain in astonishment: "You want to control the thoughts of mortals?"

Immediately before Gao Wen could answer, she shook her head again: "This is almost equivalent to controlling the thoughts of all mortals...not to mention whether it can be successful, this kind of behavior itself may lead to resistance from everyone...unless you Intended to build an Omega system like us, but the price of doing so is not affordable for all races..."

"So what I want to do is not 'control'," Gao Wen laughed, "In fact, according to our recent research, it is the thought trend that is too controlled that causes the gods to be extremely powerful and constantly regenerate, so we have to do The . . . is not to control all minds, but to liberate all minds."

The room fell silent for a while, and Melita seemed to be frightened by Gawain's overly majestic, even somewhat daring idea. She thought about it for a long time, and finally noticed that the faces of Hetty, Amber and even Rebecca were on the scene. They all had very natural expressions, which made her think deeply: "It seems... your plan has been brewing for a while."

"We have verified its initial results in the transformation process of the Holy Light Church, and verified its theoretical feasibility in the neural network chaotic model. We believe that through long-term social structure adjustment, education popularization and changing customs To achieve this goal—even in a short period of time, it can produce quite good results,” Gao Wen said, “The key issue now is that other countries on the mainland may not directly accept all this, so we need a Theocratic council, I hope to achieve a basic consensus among the leaders of at least a part of the country first, and then promote this change through gradual economic and cultural influence and technological development."

Melita looked at Gao Wen, pondered for a long time, and then suddenly showed a smile: "I think I understand what you are going to do. World-class education popularization, and the use of economic and technological development to force society to change customs Well... as expected of you, you even called all of this 'divine power'."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "It sounds like you are very interested in this?"

"Indeed, I'm personally very interested—but whether the Dragon Clan is interested depends on when we can see a more detailed plan," Melita said with a smile, "Say you don't even have a plan no?"

"Of course, there is as much relevant information as you need," Gao Wen said, but then he suddenly realized, "But do you really need it? You have already broken free from that shackle with your own efforts... The Dragon Clan is now this The only 'free race' in the world besides the Kraken?"

"Why don't you need it?" Melita asked back, her expression became serious immediately, "Indeed, the Dragon Clan is free now, but as long as we have a little understanding of the rules of this world, we know that this 'freedom' is actually just Temporary. The gods are immortal... and as long as the tendency of 'ignorance' and 'blindness' in the minds of mortals remains, the shackles will come back sooner or later. There are only two things that the survivors of Tarrond are most concerned about now , One thing is how to survive on the wasteland, and the other is how to prevent the gods from coming back in the near future, these two things make us sleepless."

She raised her head and looked into Gao Wen's eyes: "So, maybe your 'Theocratic Council' is a good medicine that can cure the problem. Even if it can't cure the problem...at least it is a successful exploration."

"I was a little surprised by this evaluation," Gao Wen said seriously, "Then I will prepare sufficient materials for you as soon as possible—but I want to confirm one thing, can you represent the wishes of all the dragons in Tarrond? "

Melita met Gawain's gaze, her expression became solemn, and she said word by word: "This time, I have full authority to represent Tarrond."

Gao Wen nodded, and then his expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Okay, we've talked about enough heavy topics, maybe it's time to discuss something else."

As his words fell, the atmosphere at the scene quickly became relaxed. Rebecca, who was listening carefully with her neck curled up, finally had a chance to catch her breath. She immediately blinked and reached out to touch the pale golden color. The dragon egg broke the silence with curiosity on his face: "Actually, I have wanted to ask since just now... This egg is said to be given to us, but what are we going to do with it?"

"It's not for you guys, it's for Gawain Cecil himself—there's still some differences," Melita immediately corrected Rebecca's statement, and then showed a somewhat confused expression, "As for saying As for how to deal with this dragon egg... Actually, I don’t know either. When I set off, I only told me to hand it over, and no one told me what I need to do in the future.”

Amber, who hadn't spoken much, thought for a while, pinched her chin and tentatively said, "How about...we try to hatch it?"
