Chapter 1258 The Ubiquitous Demon Marks

"Is it really okay to bring these two little guys?" Gawain looked away from the two baby dragons, couldn't help but look forward and said to Melita, "They are just children..."

"The reaction of the dark blue magic marks on their bodies is an important clue, and it is also a huge mystery—if we don't get this resolved, we will only have longer-term worries," Melita said without turning her head, her tone was calm, Obviously, she has thought about this matter carefully, "Among all the young dragons, Mei Li and Nolei's magic mark reaction is the strongest, after Speaker Andal and several ancient dragons who understand the deep blue web have checked their bodies It is agreed that only by bringing them near the Tower of Against the Tide will it be possible to observe some clues, and then determine why they are restless in the direction of the Tower of the Against the Tide when the magic marks change..."

Speaking of this, Melita paused for a few seconds and sighed: "Of course, there are certain risks, but there are also risks in the treatment of the disease... On that night, the magic marks on the two little guys expanded by a whole Times, who knows what other changes they will have next time? Rather than just sit back and wait for the situation to unfold, Noretta and I agree that we should...take a little risk."

"...You two are their mothers, so of course you have the final say on this matter," Gao Wen pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "Be careful, no one knows what's going on with that tower now... "

Melita let out a soft and deep growl, and then she seemed to sense something, and turned her gaze to the distance——under the dim sky, a little light could be faintly seen in the direction of the coastline, which was the surveillance post on the west coast , and on the vast sea directly ahead, a bright red light ball suddenly rushed into the sky, and with a bang, the light ball exploded, and a bright red light was particularly eye-catching in the night sky.

The two baby dragons who were playing around were immediately attracted by the exploding light ball in the sky, cheered and ran to the mother's shoulders, stretching their necks while yelling at the slowly falling red light in the sky with.

"That's the sea area where the Bitter Winter is." Gawain took two steps forward, looking at the direction where the signal flare rose in the distance and smiled, "It seems that Byron is quite on time."

...

On the sea shrouded in the polar night, the Bitter Winter and the two comprehensive frigates are slightly undulating with the waves, and the cold wind is blowing from afar. The color is almost pale, and further away on the sea is the towering giant tower.

Even a well-trained imperial navy will feel shocked after witnessing that tower, even an admiral who has experienced ups and downs for most of his life will subconsciously hold his breath when he sees it.

Byron stood on the upper deck of the Winter, looking in the direction of the tower in the night wind,

Looking at the giant star-covered tower overlooking the sea indifferently like a giant standing between the sky and the earth, he couldn't help muttering softly to the red-haired lady beside him: "No matter how many times you look at this thing, it's scary. Ah...before I came here, I had imagined what this legendary tower would look like, and it could make His Majesty stand up for battle, but now I know that my imagination is not enough..."

Standing beside Byron, Azalena was obviously shocked by the appearance of the giant tower. At this time, she subconsciously lowered her voice: "I heard His Majesty Balogar mention that this giant tower even It's not the largest 'legacy' left by the voyagers, there are two ancient facilities even bigger than it on the surface of the planet..."

Byron didn't know what to say for a moment, and after a while he could hold back a sentence: "...we humans used to have too narrow a vision."

Azarena couldn't help but glanced at him: "It's really rare that you can say such thoughtful words from your mouth."

"...I suspect that you are mocking me, but I have no proof," Byron said casually, his mouth trembling, and then he frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the Dragonmark Witch beside him, "but then again Come back... Although you received an order from China to go to Tarrond with us to learn about the progress of the Tower Against the Tide incident, your superiors didn't tell you to go to such a 'front line' with us, right? Is it a little risky?"

Azalena glanced at Byron with a half-smile, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you worried about the personal safety of a giant dragon that can fight ten times more than you? You might as well care about your own health when you have time to spare—" You are not the young man you were back then."

Byron shrugged, as if he wanted to say something more, but a bright red flare suddenly rose into the sky from the direction of the front deck, and the large-scale light curtain that exploded suddenly interrupted his follow-up actions.

Byron immediately remembered the corresponding procedures in this mission, and looked up towards the direction of the west coast of Tarrond. In the night under the stars, his powerful eyesight belonging to a transcendent quickly captured those who were flying across the night sky. Huge figures—the dragons have arrived.

Dozens of powerful dragons flew from the direction of Tarrond. Clothed in starlight and cold wind, they flitted over the icy polar sea, and summoned flashes, bright light orbs before approaching the Winter. The spells of human beings cast on themselves to act as indicative lights, and the Winter also turned on several lights on the deck at the same time to provide the dragons with the guidance they need to land on the sea.

The deck has been emptied, and the sailors moved to safe areas such as the bridge and the connecting corridor according to the order.

Byron and Azarena stood together in the "non-landing zone" on the upper deck, looking up at the huge figures approaching, staring at the stars full of majestic wings covering the sky, and then watching them one after another. One by one, the land was shrouded by a light curtain that emerged out of thin air, and transformed into a human form in a phantom light—just like Azalena at the beginning, the powerful dragon warriors jumped directly from tens of meters or even hundreds of meters in the air. They landed one after another with astonishing momentum on the steel-reinforced deck of the Winter, and every time they landed, there would be a loud "bang" in the night.

Byron's eyes were wide open, and he subconsciously shouted since the first dragon warrior landed: "Hey! My deck!"

"Look, let me just say that we dragons are like this when we land," Azalena quickly seized the opportunity to sarcastic, "Especially when we land on a ship in this environment surrounded by seas. , how high is the requirement on eyesight and reaction ability, don't you have to start aiming and jumping down from a long distance..."

"This is not your ship, you don't feel bad, do you?" Byron immediately glanced at Azalena, and before he could finish speaking, he heard another sound of "Bang!" from the deck. Coming down soon, "Hey! My deck!!"

So the following movement on the Bitter Winter is basically the same:

"Bang!" "Deck!" "Bang——" "My deck!" "Bang, bang!" "Both come down together... my deck!" Ok?"

There seemed to be a strange voice mixed in with the majestic landing of the dragon warriors. Byron's heartbroken cry was instantly suppressed. He looked in the direction of the deck with some uncertainty, and turned his head to confirm with Azalena. : "Did there be a different movement just now?"

"I didn't notice," Azalena said casually, "but I seemed to see a few shadows falling from the side just now..."

Before the Dragon Seal Witch finished speaking, Byron heard a sound of flapping wings that was not the same as the usual dragon flying. He hurriedly followed the sound and saw two young dragons flapping their wings vigorously. Flying up from under the ship's side on the left side, the two little fellows were obviously struggling, as if they were bearing a burden that they shouldn't have to bear at their age—Byron didn't see what was going on until they finally flew above the side of the ship. It turned out that the two baby dragons were holding people under their paws, one was the novelty Amber, the other was the embarrassed Melita.

Immediately afterwards, Gawain also appeared in Byron's sight. He stepped up from the mid-air outside the ship's side, stepped onto the deck as if stepping on an invisible ladder, pointed at Melita who was dripping with water, and said loudly : "Your eyesight is bad, you should have said earlier!"

Byron: "..." Azalena: "..."

However, not many people saw this little episode. Most people's eyes were attracted by the dragons landing on the deck. Even the sailors who accidentally saw the abnormal situation outside the ship immediately turned their heads and pretended to be They didn’t even see it—a moment later, Gawain, Amber, Melita and the two baby dragons had already arrived in front of Byron. Gawain urged the magic power to steam the sea water on his body and said unnaturally: “Just now There was a little accident..."

As an upright knight, Byron naturally knew that he should be frank and upright at this time: "I didn't see anything!"

Gao Wen: "...Okay, let's go to the main deck."

When they came to the main deck, the entire dragon battle squadron brought by Melita had landed and assembled, and they also saw Noretta standing in front of the team——Victoria and Modil were standing on the white Miss Long's side.

Noretta saw Melita with a surprised and curious expression on her face: "Where did you go just now? Why didn't I see..."

Melita turned her head away unnaturally: "Don't ask, I don't know if I ask, and I won't tell you if I know—so don't ask."

Noretta felt a little strange, but after observing her friend's face, she decided to suppress the doubts in her stomach for the time being, and stepped sideways, taking a tall and tall man standing behind her The Dragon Clan let it out: "This is the captain of the West Coast Watch Post, Magnar, he arrived at the Winter before us."

At this time, Melita noticed that there was such a dragon warrior who was not brought by herself from New Agondor. She looked him up and down, with a solemn and respectful expression on her face: "Hello, Sentinel—glory to you. You've been stationed here?"

"My tribute to you too," said the Sentinel Captain Magnar with a serious face, "My Sentinel team and I have been stationed on the west coast for the past few months - our eyes have never left the city. tower."

"Then it seems that you can provide us with important information." Gao Wen said from the side.

"Of course," the captain of the sentinel nodded. "If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly. I know all the changes on the west coast in the past few months."

"The most important thing is that tower," Melita said immediately, "you have been monitoring that thing—has there been any changes in it during this time? Especially in the last two days."

"There is nothing abnormal visually," said the captain of the sentinel, shaking his head slowly, with a very certain tone, "The war that took place in Tarrond itself failed to impact that high tower, and it is still the same as it has been in the past million years. They all kept at least three pairs of eyes staring at the tower at the same time, seamlessly took turns every day, and maintained contact with the rear after the remote communication was established, and the tower looked normal during this time."

"What about the situation on the west coast?" Melita asked immediately, "Does any vision happen around your camp?"

"If you are referring to visions polluted by knowledge...no," the captain of the sentinel shook his head again, "We are stationed on a section of broken city wall on the west coast, and there are only ruins around the outpost, without any intelligent life, so naturally it is impossible to appear Individuals polluted by knowledge. As for places farther away... We have sent search teams with spare capacity, and found sporadic survivors in the ruins of the city slightly inland, but we have not found any polluted people. Individuals. Those survivors have been sent to the rear after undergoing strict inspections, and your side should know."

"...Yes, we know about this," Noretta on the side exhaled softly, and then she looked into the eyes of the captain of the sentinel, "In addition to the conclusion of 'everything is normal', there are other Anything suspicious, unusual, unusual, or even just something that you personally feel is worth reporting?"

"Yes." To Gao Wen's surprise, the tall and tall sentinel captain actually nodded, and then he took out something from his body and handed it over, "I found this by accident when I was patrolling myself yesterday evening." I haven't had time to report it to the rear. It seems that this thing has nothing to do with that tower, but I think...it's somewhat special."

All eyes on the scene were instantly attracted by the things in the hands of the captain of the sentinel, and Gao Wen subconsciously looked into his hands.

It was a rock the size of a fist.

An ordinary-looking stone, as if it was picked up from the side of the road, with a gloomy color and heavy texture.

"Stone?" Melita couldn't help raising her eyebrows immediately, "What's so special about this stone?"

"It doesn't look special now, but when I picked it up, it was emitting a constant blue light, and even now..." the captain of the sentinel said, and suddenly began to inject a small amount of magic power into the stone, Accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, glowing lines that looked like running water marks suddenly appeared on the surface of the seemingly dark stone, and a blue light escaped from the hidden lines of the stone, shining in the night sky. Suddenly, the whole stone instantly became more magnificent and mysterious, "Just inject a little magic power into it, and it will undergo such a change."

Behind Amber, two young dragons who were looking around at the observation deck suddenly yelled, and their eyes were fixed on the stone in the hands of the captain of the sentinel.

Gao Wen instantly realized what it was.

"Dark blue magic marks?! Even the stones have started to appear on the stones?!"
