Chapter 1109 The Next Road
The scenes from the last meeting with Enya began to turn in Gao Wen's mind, and they were still lingering - these lingering pictures soon contrasted with the reality in front of him, making the atmosphere in the hatching room It became more and more weird, so weird that even Enya fell into silence.
In the end, it was Gao Wen who took the lead to break the embarrassment: "So, you don't know why you became this form? Then how did you plan it in the first place?"
"Time is running short, I only had time to complete a rough cut...the subsequent development is completely unplanned," Enya said very frankly, it seems that after shedding the burden of "the gods", even her character has also changed Some subtle changes, the most obvious change is that she speaks a lot more bluntly now, "In fact, I'm not even sure that my human nature can be preserved, and I'm not sure whether the preserved human nature is still the 'Enya'. Individual. I thought I would become some sort of ethereal form... like a mortal soul, or... an ordinary dragon. This has surprised me."
Gao Wen looked at the golden giant egg with a strange expression, and couldn't help but said, "To be honest, I'm quite surprised to hear the words 'no plan' from an ancient and forbearing god like you."
There seemed to be a hint of a smile in Enya's tone: "I am no longer a god—and I remember I said from the beginning that gods are neither omniscient nor omnipotent."
Gao Wen nodded lightly, and then expressed some of his conjectures thoughtfully: "Will this have some kind of symbolic meaning? Dragon eggs... This can be regarded as the initial state of dragon life, and in Luo In the concept of many mortal races in London, a baby who has not yet been born or has just been born and has not breathed for the first time is the "pure stage" of mortals. I think the dragon egg can also correspond in this way: it symbolizes the original and purest humanity , which is just like your current state."
"...Is the most extreme humanity hidden behind the divinity? This is really an interesting and bold theory, as expected of you," Enya's voice sounded quite happy, and she seemed very interested in what Gao Wen said, "It seems that your 'research' can be more substantial again."
Gao Wen accepted Enya's compliment, but then he felt a little awkward: Although the atmosphere of the conversation was good, this scene of discussing why the other party turned into an egg in front of an egg became more and more strange...
"What are you thinking?" Enya's voice broke the silence and woke Gao Wen from his thoughts. He quickly coughed twice, and then looked at the eggshell curiously: "Then do you have any plans for the future? ?”
"I want to hear your thoughts," Enya said lazily, "I have been thinking and planning for too many years, and now I don't want to continue planning, and you are a...'human' with endless novel ideas ,I would like to hear your views."
"My opinion?" Gawain was not surprised by this response, but it was a bit difficult to give an answer - the main difficulty was that he had never thought that this egg should have been in the Tarrond War in theory. Fallen Dragon Goddess,
This caused him to overthrow all his previous plans for this egg, "I don't think I can plan any future for you, I just think... Now that you have been completely reborn, and Tarrond As you said, it ended its mythical age, then everything should start again... The dragon clan will start its own new era in the newly formed alliance, and you should also try a new life... God born... I am Said Dansheng..."
Feeling that this topic became more and more strange, Gao Wen had to stop in embarrassment, and then looked up and down the pattern on Enya's eggshell: "Let me make sure first—you won't be in this form forever, right? Since it's an egg Eggs? Then there must be a time to hatch? Life must be different before and after the shell is broken."
"...I've been thinking about this seriously these days," Enya said with a serious tone. "After being surprised to realize that I've turned into an egg? I'm trying to master my state, but it's not going well ? My power has weakened a lot compared to when I was a god... But I think I will definitely not be like this forever. I can feel that my humanity is still gradually cohesive and changing, and as this process continues ? I should gradually come out of the current state? And have the opportunity to guide myself to reshape into another appearance...just how long it will take is difficult to guarantee."
"It's good to be able to hatch." Gawain nodded with a smile. He was sincerely happy for Enya—no matter how long the process she said would take, it was better to regain a normal shape than to maintain it. The appearance of an egg is stronger, after all, not everyone is like Nicholas Egg Manager? The racial characteristic is that they are born round...
He is smiling here? Enya's tone immediately became a little weird: "But I have something to say: can you remove the runes and whatnot in this room? It's good for my..." hatch ' didn't do anything."
Gao Wen was a little embarrassed when he heard this expression. He looked up and looked around at the runes everywhere in the room, and at the same time he heard Enya's voice continue: "This is the method taught to you by the dragons, it's hard for you I took pains to furnish this room."
"It was indeed taught by them, mainly because your situation was unknown at the beginning? I thought you had to be placed in the energy field," Gao Wen coughed dryly? .Is there anything else?"
"Let me think about it?" Enya said slowly while thinking, "Huh? I don't need ordinary utensils like a bed now? But can you send me a table and some shelves? Can be used to Put the organized newspapers and books, and some chairs, so guests can sit when they come. In addition, I am actually a little interested in your 'Magic Net Terminal'... If possible, can you install one in this room? ? Although I can't move, I should be able to directly manipulate the magic power to control it."
Standing by the side without speaking for a long time, Hetty finally got used to this weird scene and nodded when she heard the words: "The desks, chairs and bookshelves are all well arranged, and they can be delivered today, but the magic net terminal..."
Speaking of which, she couldn't help but glanced at Gao Wen, asking her ancestor for his opinion.
The magic net terminal is a special device, it is connected to the magic net network, and the magic net carries the neural network... Although Enya is no longer the "god" of the dragon clan, her origin is sensitive after all, whether it can make her Such an existence who once had the name of a god contacted the magic net terminal, and even gave her the opportunity to contact a huge group of mortals through the Internet... Hetty didn't dare to make a decision on this matter.
Gawain's eyes narrowed slightly, what he thought of at this moment was the report received from the Imperial Computing Center on the way back, and the project proposal document jointly sent by Megal III, Yuri, and Wendy. After careful weighing, his eyes fell on Enya's eggshell, and the latter was still standing quietly on the pedestal, looking very patient... Well, he really couldn't get out of an egg. Determine if the other person is patient.
In short, this matter seems to be at the right time to enter the next stage, when it is time to try to let the "god" take the initiative to contact the neural network and make the anti-divinity barrier officially operate. Since Enya asked for it, Gao Wen is more than happy to accept it—— In the field involving gods, there are never too few observation samples, let alone an observation sample that is completely different from Julu Amoen, a completely "humanized" god from a foreign race, she can serve as a representative for the Theocratic Council How much valuable experience did you bring?
"I can arrange it," Gawain said to the Golden Dome after he finished thinking, "but you need to wait for two or three days—your equipment needs to be customized, and we also need to consider some 'safety issues'."
"It's understandable," Enya laughed softly, "I still remember that you are a very cautious person...with extra cautious methods."
The former Dragon God meant something, which reminded Gao Wen of the "orbital fall countdown" method he had to adopt in order to deter the other party. However, these things are a thing of the past, and now they can only arouse the understanding of the person involved. Just a smile.
"Heidi, go and make arrangements," Gawain turned to his great-granddaughter, "By the way, we will send someone to the machinery factory. We need a 'customized terminal'."
"Yes, ancestor." Hetty bowed and saluted, then retreated and left the room.
Hetty left, while Betty remained next to Enya and Gao Wen. This stupid maid listened to the conversation between the master and the guests, and always felt that she had heard something extraordinary. She didn't understand, it made her head start to get confused, and it wasn't until Ms. Enya's voice suddenly sounded from the side that she woke up suddenly: "Betty, can you help me prepare some refreshments? Your master and I need more Let's talk for a while."
"Ah, yes!"
Betty trotted all the way out of the room, while Gao Wen looked at the scene in front of him in amazement. After a long time, he couldn't help but said to Enya: "It seems that your relationship is very good... This is really surprising."
"Why is it surprising?"
"It's hard for me to imagine how that girl talks to you. Sometimes she looks stupid and is not good at dealing with strangers, and you... To be honest, there is too much difference in style between you."
"Betty is a good conversation partner, maybe even the only suitable conversation partner here besides you," Enya's voice came from the golden eggshell, "Not everyone can speak after seeing an egg She can still greet and talk calmly, but Betty did it—she has a calm and peaceful mind that ordinary people don't have."
"Calm and peaceful...so that's how you look at her." Gao Wen's expression was a little strange for a moment, but he soon smiled with relief, "Well, that's fine, sometimes it's a kind of calmness that you can't react. But I'm a little curious, you've been talking to her for so many days, why didn't the other servants and guards who work around here find out at all? It's probably not just because Betty kept her mouth shut, and Hetty just happened to have no time to pay attention. .”
Enya was silent for a while, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I admit that I did use a little trick... I don't want to be disturbed, I just want to rest for a few days, so I slightly affected the judgment of the people around me , but it was limited to diverting their attention away from the hatching room. And it turns out that the influence I exerted didn't produce perfect results—someone eventually noticed the anomaly and drew you here, didn't they?"
Gao Wen sighed: "Well, I can understand your desire to take a good rest after going through such a big turmoil, but in the future..."
"Don't worry, it won't happen in the future," Enya responded happily without waiting for Gao Wen to finish speaking, "Since I want to live with you temporarily, I will still abide by the basic etiquette."
This old god seemed to take himself as a long-term tenant here for granted, which was a bit surprising, but Gawain did not express any opinion: this in itself is what he would like to see, although the process seems a bit weird, but It turned out not too bad.
And after this little episode, before Betty prepared tea and returned, Gawain quickly brought the topic to a very important matter.
"There is something I have to talk to you about." He looked at Enya's eggshell with a serious expression, "Although the mythical age of Tarrond is over and you are no longer their god, there is You probably haven’t forgotten one thing—what are you going to do about the tower located in the northwest of the Tarrond continent?”
"Is there something wrong with that tower?"
There was no expression on the bare eggshell, and it was difficult for Gao Wen to judge Enya's emotion just from the tone of the other party's response. He could only choose his words while speaking: "Not yet, but the threat of that tower is very strong." Obviously. Now that Tarrond is almost completely destroyed, the surviving dragons can only barely guarantee the order in the southeastern corner of the mainland, and are unable to maintain the blockade of that tower. Now there is only one weak observation post over there, and the post and Communication in the rear is very difficult. What we are most worried about at the moment is what to do if uncontrolled dragons approach the tower and become polluted... The polluters are likely to break through the defense line of the observation post and spread the power of the reverse tide to Loren On the mainland."
Enya's voice fell silent for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, a peaceful and slightly apologetic voice came from the Golden Dome again: "Sorry, I probably can't help you much."
Gawain didn't speak.
"I know it's irresponsible, but by now, that tower has indeed lost control... out of my control, and out of Tarrond's control," Enyad's voice continued, his tone With a sigh, "And you also know that even in the heyday of Tarrond, we couldn't do anything about that tower - the dragon couldn't fight against the divinity in the tide, and the dragon god couldn't fight against the legacy of the sailor, So even at that time, all we can do is to block the sea area around the tower and prevent other intelligent creatures from approaching. This was the case in the heyday, but now..."
Gawain looked at the golden giant egg, and finally sighed: "Well, it's actually the expected answer. No need to apologize, I didn't expect too much myself."
The room fell silent again, and after a while, Enya suddenly said: "Perhaps, it is up to you to be able to solve everything in the end."
"Me?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "You want me to solve that tower?"
"Do you still remember what you used to scare me?" Enya said calmly, "The legacy of the voyager...will be destroyed with the same force after all, just for the surviving dragons. Use the abandonment protocol for the tower."
(I really can’t keep up with energy after traveling so far for the meeting, I may have to ask for a leave of absence tomorrow, sorry =. =)
