Chapter 687 Dragon and Sky
Become a... see...
Maggie looked at the "Her Royal Highness" in front of her with a stiff expression. She was accustomed to the normal way of thinking and couldn't keep up with Rebecca's rhythm at this moment. After confirming that she heard correctly, she felt a little annoyed. Come.
Change one to show her!
Is this treating oneself as some kind of rare animal, as some interesting landscape? !
She had a certain resistance to her dragon form because of her physical deformity. Now, when she heard Rebecca's speech that sounded like a no-brainer request from a noble child, Maggie felt that her whole body's blood vessels were throbbing, but she was sensible. And let her forcibly restrain the anger in her heart. After all, the girl in front of her is the legal heir of this new empire, and even her own mistress needs to be polite when facing the princess, so she suppressed her emotions, He asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "Why do you want to see my dragon form?"
It's a pity that Rebecca, who has thick lines, didn't feel Maggie's mood changes at all - if she could feel other people's mood changes, she wouldn't have been beaten every time because of the iron - the girl just continued to smile happily, With a bright face: "I want to fly too!!"
Maggie's subsequent words were all condensed into six dots and a question mark: "...?"
Then, in the more confused and stunned eyes of the black dragon lady, Rebecca suddenly took out a large scroll from nowhere, and shook it in front of Maggie's eyes - it was a hand-painted Mechanical design drawings, with a large number of rune array patterns.
The next second, Rebecca directly spread the blueprint on the ground, and explained cheerfully in front of Maggie, who looked confused: "Look at this, this is not an awl, this is an aircraft I designed, and the following The ring is called the anti-gravity ring, it can provide a lift, it has been done, it is very stable, and next to it is the magic wing... You know the magic wing? It is also on the warship, this is the aircraft version I designed... Hey, squat down? Can you see clearly when you stand?"
Maggie flipped through her mind about the etiquette of the servants she had mastered, including how the servants should accompany the nobles when they were standing, and how the servants should accompany the nobles when they were sitting, but what if the nobles squatted down in the open space in the middle of the courtyard... There seems to be no corresponding rules...
Because the nobles with normal brains will not squat on the ground in public!
After thinking about it carefully, Maggie squatted down beside Rebecca—it was Rebecca who spoke first...
"That's right," Rebecca glanced at Maggie happily, and continued to move her fingers on the peculiar conical machine on the drawing, "I refer to the elves' anti-gravity technology here,
Their levitating spells are much more efficient than humans, but I still haven't figured out how to get this thing moving. The antigravity ring can only provide lift, or strictly speaking, only reverse gravity, which is different from the repulsion trick - if the force field of the antigravity ring is tilted, it will not gain a tilted propulsion , but it will just go out of control, I hit the prototype to the ceiling last time...
"I also studied how the elves' star temples fly, but that thing is so complicated, it's a device called a 'wave engine', and each propulsion group is bigger than a house! The key is that there are still Many structures can't even be understood by the elves, and they can't be disassembled. It is said that it is their ancestor technology. No one can repair it. It can be said that one can be dismantled. So fitting..."
Maggie's heart suddenly popped up: You asked me to change it just now, is it appropriate?
Rebecca is still talking, as long as it involves the technical field, her words seem to be endless: "...I found a mage who can fly, but their flying magic is simply 'feeling' , it can't be transformed into the machine at all. I also designed a method of 'fireball pulse propulsion', but it was rejected by my aunt, saying that it is easy to blow up my own people. I have a magician under my hand. The wind-based rune’s plan of creating airflow to push it barely worked, but the power is poor, and the test machine is just crawling... But then again, I always feel that although this airflow-driven plan doesn’t seem to be of much use now, But it may be a good thing in the future, if it can solve the power..."
Maggie listened to the princess talking farther and farther, and she had reached a field that she did not understand at all, and quickly interrupted: "His Royal Highness, what you said... has something to do with me?"
"Ah? You..." Rebecca was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses, "Ah, yes, it's related, it's related! How did your dragons fly?"
"Of course with wings..."
"But your wings can neither provide enough lift, nor enough propulsion, right?" Rebecca was curious, "Your wings are indeed big, but your size is bigger, and more importantly, I I have seen how your dragon race accelerated and braked. It was a blue dragon. When accelerating, a force field appeared on the edge of the wings, and then a magic glow passed by, and it accelerated to the point where the eyes couldn't catch up in an instant. She only flapped her wings once in the process...it can't be the speed you can get with a flap of a wing."
Maggie looked at Rebecca with a stunned look. She had almost forgotten the first sentence "change a look". She realized that the rash princess in front of her had no malice at all, let alone a hot-headed one. The unreasonable request she made was to study something, something that she could not understand, but it was of great significance - and Her Royal Highness, the princess, has devoted her whole heart to these studies.
"I heard from Master Carmel that dragons don't fly entirely by flapping their wings and moving the air," Rebecca didn't pay attention to Maggie's change in expression, but continued enthusiastically, "You are actually flying Swiping 'magic' is to create some kind of force field, and then ride the force field to slide between the ripples of magic, so you can fly very, very high, even to the clouds where the air is very thin, and that It is a height that no human mages and birds can reach...
"I want to create a device that can slide in the magic ripples by referring to the flying style of the dragon race. If your magic system can also be compatible with rune logic... Maybe I can fly too!"
Suddenly, Maggie recalled a sentence she had read in a book in her hometown: a dragon can soar through the sky on a wave of magic, and even reach the end of the sky and reach the top of the atmosphere, where they are far away from each other. It is only one step away from opening this planet, so they are qualified to be called the masters of the sky-because under this sky, there is no creature that can fly higher than them.
She took a light breath and nodded slowly: "You're right, dragons really don't rely on agitating air to fly, or in other words, agitating air is just an auxiliary way for us to adjust our direction and perceive the environment, our true flying power , is magic..."
As these words fell softly, the black-haired maid raised her left hand slightly, and in the air behind her, a huge black wing suddenly emerged from the void, and swayed slightly in mid-air.
The giant wings were smaller than the ones she had when she was fully dragonized, but it still made Rebecca's eyes widen.
Rebecca saw a lot of magic runes that vaguely appeared on the edge of the black giant wing, and between the skeleton and veins of the giant wing, there were also lines of magic power faintly emerging.
"Turning into a dragon in the castle courtyard will cause a lot of trouble, but I can project some of my body parts," Maggie said slowly, she felt a little impulsive, after all, this is the courtyard of Silver Castle, although there is no nearby Who, but there must be many guards and attendants who can see what happened here, but she is enjoying the feeling now... Except for the time when she left her hometown, she has not done impulsive things for too long, "Watch it if you want, but it may not be complete."
Yes, the runes on Maggie's wings are not complete.
Rebecca just glanced at it and realized that there was something wrong with Miss Black Dragon's wings - part of its edge was mutilated, and the main skeleton also showed signs of atrophy and deformity, as if it suddenly appeared when it was half-developed. It stopped growing, and then was brutally destroyed by some external force. This miserable appearance... No wonder Maggie has a grudge against her dragon form.
And this incomplete wing undoubtedly led to the incompleteness of the rune array.
Rebecca's eyes swept between those runes and magic lines, and finally slowly retracted: "I see..."
Maggie waved her hand, took back some of the projected limbs, and then shook her head: "Sorry, I only have these broken things, so if you want to study the flying ability of giant dragons, you'd better find a real one. , A healthy dragon, I am not a qualified research subject."
"...Master Ancestor said, unless necessary, it is best not to do business with giant dragons, they are greedy and greedy," Rebecca said with a serious face, "and I don't think ordinary giant dragons should be willing to accompany them. Shall I do research?"
"Buck and greedy..." Maggie blinked, and suddenly she couldn't help laughing out loud, with a particularly pleasant laugh, "Haha, what you said is really good, it's really stingy and greedy... and those proud The healthy dragons really shouldn't be willing to accompany you to do research, after all, they are to be studied..."
"I think it's enough to have your rune samples," Rebecca continued, "Any rune array that can run has a certain self-explaining and self-complementary feature, which is also used by the Rune Research Institute. To rule out the common reference nature of invalid structures in traditional magic circles. I went back to Jenny to borrow a few experts, maybe we can fill in all the runes you are missing - and those parts that are stacked and twisted due to deformities, should be It can also be repaired and restored. In theory, as long as 70% of the runes can be restored, we can create the first generation of usable prototypes, and things like machinery and equipment are all used and gradually perfected. …”
Speaking of which, Rebecca thought for a while, and suddenly became happy: "And maybe we can build a set of things that you can use!"
"Can I use it?" Maggie didn't respond for a while, "What?"
"Try to repair your wings," Rebecca's thoughts became wild. "People with disabilities can use prosthetics. Although it is inconvenient, they can still stand up. Maybe we can build you a mechanical wing, although it is not easy to use. , but at least you can fly on your own - I've heard you have to rely on extra airflow or glide off a cliff to take off right? If we make it, maybe you'll be able to take off on your own on level ground! !"
Maggie's eyes widened and she looked at Rebecca in a daze.
What wild ideas and optimistic imaginations were these—how many years had she not had such a dream herself?
After being stunned for a few seconds, Rebecca's voice suddenly came from the side: "Hey, Maggie, why don't you speak? Are you scared by my thought?"
"No, I'm just... well, I'm a little scared," Maggie said a little bewildered, she felt that she had managed to maintain her calm temperament for many years and was quickly beaten in front of this maverick princess Smashed, but she has no regrets, "Your idea is very bold, but it is not easy to realize, the runes on our bodies are not the same as those commonly used by you humans, they are the basic elements of dragon language... "
"We have already deciphered the rune language of the elves, and we don't mind more dragon runes. No matter what the system is, at least the mathematics is unified," Rebecca said confidently, "and as far as I know, The earliest magic of human beings was created by referring to the patterns on the monsters in nature. The original 'ancestral runes' were the natural patterns on the monsters. Since our ancestors have succeeded once on monsters, we modern people who have modern tools Why can't it be successful again?"
Maggie looked at Rebecca for a while, and couldn't help showing a smile: "You are almost treating dragons and monsters as equals. If other dragons hear it, I'm afraid they will fight."
"……Wow!"
"But don't worry, I know you didn't mean it."
"Oh, that's fine," Rebecca quickly patted her chest, "don't mind, sometimes I talk a little too far, my aunt and my ancestors always keep talking, saying that I will be beaten sooner or later if I talk like this, but it's just that I can't change it..."
Maggie looked at Rebecca with a slight smile—this is such a lovely girl, it was incredible that she thought she was a brainless and rude arrogant aristocratic child.
"Then do you want to come back to Cecil City with me?" Rebecca continued balabala, "My research facilities are over there..."
"I'll get permission from the mistress first," Maggie mused. "As far as I know, she'll stay in the north for a while."
"Then I'll go tell her~ just treat it as your agreement!"
