Chapter 688 Tallond

The dragon wings swept across the sky, and the pale golden glow seemed to be shattered by the giant wings, turning into countless sparkling brilliance and plated on the broad and majestic blue scales. Traces, drawn a magnificent arc between the cloud and the clear sky - riding the ripples of magic, the master of the sky crossed the borders of the continent, crossed the endless sea, crossed the never-ending storm barrier, in the In the splendid glow of the giant sun on the horizon, he flew quickly towards the extreme north.

The cold wind whistled, and the biting cold air in the extreme north showed that the destination was approaching. The blue dragon lowered its height slightly, and in the huge pale golden vertical pupils, many icebergs and icebergs floating on the Arctic ice sea were reflected. All kinds of permanent alloy creations protruding out of the sea, some weak and harmless creatures jumping and playing on those icebergs and platforms, when the dragon shadow swept the sky, some of them immediately jumped into the sea and hid, while others He looked up at the sky blankly, as if he didn't know what to fear.

The continuous ice floes receded rapidly in the field of vision, and the surrounding became colder and colder, but suddenly, the number of floes decreased greatly, and the surrounding temperature also increased abnormally, the blue dragon slightly reduced the speed of flight, and At the end of her vision, a splendid continent was floating on the empty, calm sea between glaciers.

It was a land that was much smaller than the Loren Continent, but there were still lofty mountains, forests and rivers on it. There were countless elegant towers exuding metallic textures on the edge of the continent. The arcs jumped between the towers, and the light flowed.

On top of this, a huge shield that is enough to stun humans and far surpasses the magnificent wall extends from the tower and covers the entire continent. In the air part of this shield, you can also see To a large number of silver-white devices floating high in the sky hovering at a specific position, maintaining the integrity of the shield in a certain way, countless shadows flying in the air pass through those devices, looking busy and orderly.

The blue dragon let out a pleasant low roar and flew towards one of the areas of the large shield. When she approached a certain distance, the large shield automatically opened a gap, and a long guiding beam extended from the gap. Guiding the direction of homecoming in the dim skylight, and a huge metal ring flew out of the shield, followed the guiding beam to the blue dragon, and flew with the blue dragon.

A streamer flashed on the surface of the metal ring, and the voice of artificial intelligence came from it: "Identity verification...Expatriate, observer, first-level agent of the Mithril treasure house...Melita?? Purnia, identity verification passed , welcome home, compatriot."

The blue dragon was obviously in a very happy mood, and greeted the central artificial intelligence behind the ring: "Hi! Omega, what's going on in Tallond recently?"

The ring paused for a moment, and then the surface flashed again: "The retrieval is complete - the environmental control tower No. 2 power unit was successfully replaced 72 days ago, and the Senate issued a letter to commend the construction personnel; the dome control center has recently been upgraded and renovated. The Senate issued a commendation; the Shell Breaking Health Laboratory of the Third Incubation Center successfully improved the 6+2 deformity screening process before breaking the shell of synthetic dragon eggs.

To make it more ceremonial, the head of the laboratory said at the press conference that he did not want to disturb the senate, but hoped to get 12 years of paid vacation. The senate rejected the request, but still for its excellent work Achievements are issued in recognition of..."

"...Ha... There really isn't any news worth listening to... How many thousands of years have these bits and pieces of 'results' been going around?" Melita in the form of a blue dragon?? Purnia sighed After a sigh of relief, he sighed while following the ring to the big shield, "Is there any news about the jury?"

In Tal Lund, there are two crucial management groups for dragons. The largest and most powerful is the Senate. They are responsible for managing all internal affairs on the continent and control Tal with the assistance of "Omega". Among all the ancient technical facilities in Lund, the other is the highest council responsible for managing foreign affairs. As a senior cadre of the Mithril Treasure House, Melita, the elders of the council, are the ones who most often deal with on weekdays.

The ring paused for a moment, and then responded: "Three days ago, the panel made a decision to deduct the ten-year bonus of Melita Purnia, the first-level agent of the Mithril Treasure House, to punish her for sabotaging without authorization..."

Melita's wings were crooked and almost fell off. After finally stabilizing her figure, she took a deep breath: "Okay, you don't need to say it, I knew about it three days ago..."

"Getting the news of hometown in time will help the expatriates to resolve their loneliness," the ring made a monotonous synth sound, and gradually slowed down to fit on the opening of the large shield, "Welcome home again, Melita, I wish you joy."

"I shouldn't have asked you the last question, it's a ghost if you're happy!"

Melita muttered, her wings retracted slightly, and she passed through the thin film of light in the middle of the ring with ease, instantly completing a series of procedures such as sterilization and quarantine required for returning to Tallond. , and then she circled inside the big shield. After recalibrating her sense of direction, she quickly flew towards a magnificent city built between mountains not far away.

It was a huge city built of stone and metal, extending all the way to the sky along the towering mountains and mountains. Its thick, majestic and complex architectural style is completely different from most cities on the Loren continent, and it is the most distinctive. What’s more is that the building specifications in this city are also divided into two completely different types: one has an extraordinarily huge size, the structure is gorgeous and solemn, like the legendary dwelling of giants, and its porch windows are often twenty or thirty meters high, and the other is very beautiful. It is distributed among these large buildings, built on the roof or walls of the giant houses like some kind of "decoration" attached to the large buildings. Imposing style, but delicate and "lovely" compared to those giant houses.

Melita slowed down slightly over the city, then flew straight to a familiar direction, and landed firmly on a huge gray-white terrace. After landing, she raised her head and made a loud voice unique to a giant dragon: "Noretta! Leta! I'm back! Are you at home? Are you at home? In..."

Just halfway through the shouting, a slightly annoyed voice entered her ears: "I'm at home!! Don't shout so loudly!"

Melita looked left and right: "Where are you?"

The voice came from right below her: "Under your feet! Raise your toes!"

Melita hurriedly lowered her head, her two huge eyes were almost squeezed together, and after a serious identification, she hurriedly moved her paws and looked at a woman in a white dress, with long pale blond hair and a tear mole at the corner of her eye. Embarrassedly, she crawled up from where she had stepped on.

"Oh...Noretta!" Melita was amazed and pinched her friend carefully with her front paws, "This is the first time I've seen you in human form outside of a light sleep—I totally I didn't see you!"

"That's because you have bad eyes!" Noretta waved her arm, easily broke free from the dragon's claws, and jumped firmly to the ground, "and of course I want to maintain human form - today is a sacred ceremony, this time the ceremony The ceremony is held in our city, do you want me to meet the gods in the form of a dragon?"

Melita's huge dragon body was shrouded in a layer of aura. Her figure quickly shrank in the aura, and almost instantly transformed into a human form. After listening to what her friend said to herself, she froze for a moment, and then her face showed an expression on her face. He said in a slightly complicated voice, "Ah... the sacred ceremony... I almost forgot, today is the day to visit the Dragon God..."

Noretta, with long pale blonde hair and a tear mole at the corner of her eyes, noticed Melita's expression, she pursed her lips, and finally smiled: "She will always be the god who protects us."

"Yeah, it's 'our' god after all..." Melita said, shaking her head slightly, "Let's not talk about this, I want to see Speaker Andal, and I'll bring back a special 'Mithril commission' '."

"Mithril entrustment?" Noretta glanced at her old friend curiously, "What entrustment is worthy of the chairman of the panel to see in person?"

"Gawain?? Cecil, do you remember this name?"

"The human who came back from the dead?" Noretta blinked, "Can you still take his orders? Last time he came back to pick up the goods, the Mithril treasure house was tossed enough, and later, graves were dug all over the world to confirm. Those dead clients won't crawl out to find us to honor orders..."

"Isn't it that there was no call for payment from other graves at the end!" Melita waved her hand, and her expression became a little serious after casually passing it on, "I'm not joking with you, this commission is for real There is something special, that human being is more interesting than you and I thought, and the forces he is building have also developed beyond the initial expectations of the jury - and the most important thing is that he has noticed it now..."

Melita suddenly closed her mouth when she said that.

But in Tal Lund, among the dragons, this sudden silence was a sign in itself.

Noretta frowned slightly, and then she couldn't believe it: "Are you sure?"

Melita nodded lightly: "Remember that crazy human empire? And their crazy rebellious plans - we all thought that a magic tide completely destroyed those daring mortals and their ambitions, but in fact ...their resilience and courage are beyond the imagination of any dragon..."

"Disobedient..."

White Dragon Noretta couldn't help but change her face slightly after hearing the special word, and then repeated the word softly with a hint of emotion.

She recalled the evaluation made by the Supreme Chancellor when the panel first learned that the Gondor Empire was suspected to be studying the power of the gods:

Due to its short lifespan and full of variables, and because it was born weak and fearless, human beings are braver than dragons before God.

"Well, there is still some time before the ceremony. I will arrange for you to meet with Speaker Andal."

...

In the center of this dragon city, on the top of the towering mountains, the magnificent temple rises into the clouds.

The extreme north is in the extreme day stage, and the sky is shrouded in rays of light for half of the day. This splendid brilliance passes through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the shrine and spills into its splendid inner sanctuary. Mottled shadows and bright spots were cast on every vicissitudes of life column. A woman wearing a gorgeous pale gold dress, with blond hair hanging to the ground, with a bright and graceful appearance, was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window in the palace, looking out at the palace. The rays of light in the distance looked down at the sea of ​​clouds below the temple, as well as the faint city buildings and lights in the sea of ​​clouds.

She has seen such a scene for almost a million years.

"No matter how beautiful the scenery is... there will be a day when you will be bored," the woman with blond hair sighed softly, turned her head and said to the high-level dragon priest who was standing respectfully behind her, "What do you think? ?"

The dragon priest called Heragol lowered his head slightly, his pale golden vertical pupils hidden in the shadow of the crown: "This is because your eternity has surpassed all landscapes, my lord."

"...Maybe," the blond woman's mouth was slightly raised, but it was almost impossible to tell if it was a smile. Her voice was gentle and kind, but it was so perfect that it was terrifying and peaceful. Contradicted, "Hragol, you are the priest who has been with me for the longest time, so you don't have to be so flattering for a long time - words that go against your heart are tiring, both the speaker and the listener."

The Dragon Priest didn't look up: "My respect for you comes from the heart."

The blonde woman narrowed her eyes slightly, still smiling: "What about hatred? Does it come from the same heart as everyone else?"

"..."

"I put a lock on you, you should hate me, but sadly, even this hatred is locked," the blond woman turned back and said, looking at Yunxia in the distance, "It's just like these millions of years have not The changing landscape... Since the day you rebelled and failed, you have been locked here forever, locked in this eternal alternation of day and night... Hate me from the bottom of your heart, this is what you should do of."

"..."

"But it doesn't matter, I'm still your protector, I will protect you as always, yesterday, today, forever..."

The blonde woman said softly, she turned away from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and walked towards the depths of the temple.

"Poor creatures, you are about to be trapped on this planet."

The Dragon Priest Heragor raised his head, looked at the back of the god, stepped forward with a blank expression, and followed closely.
