Chapter 734 Dragon Shadow in Winter
Melita left.
The refraction stance concealed the huge body of the giant dragon, and a passive gale suddenly swept across the sky of Cecil City, and there were faint twisted ripples flashing in the background of clouds and skylight, but except for a few Outside of the strong and the towers dedicated to detecting magically invisible units, no one knows that a dragon has visited the city.
Gawain stood in front of the gate of the Magical Technology Research Institute, looking up in the direction Melita had left, before taking back his gaze after a long time.
The Empire Against the Tide... The Book of the Ultimate... Knowledge stolen from the satellite constellation...
He carefully recalled the newly collected information, and sketched the outlines of the gods and ancient history in his mind. After a long time of thinking, he smiled and shook his head, looking back at the Institute of Magical Technology behind him.
Hundreds of researchers are busy in this facility. More than a dozen large and small laboratories and project groups operate in this facility. In the mind network, the Origin laboratory has hundreds of simulation experiments every day. In the workshop of the factory, the collision of gears and levers does not stop day and night. In Saint-Sunil, in Luan City, in the association of mages and scholars, countless people full of wisdom and knowledge are gathering, and those scattered in human society are being gathered. Esoteric knowledge is reunited, redrawing the fragmented ancient technology...
All of this is jointly promoted by thousands of people, and is jointly promoted by the entire Cecil society. It originates from people and is used for people. A blueprint drawn out of thin air by anyone on the territory is not a miracle or a gift.
...
The dragon flies across the vast clear winter sky, the refraction stance gradually dissipates, the clouds and sunlight alternately cast dappled light and shadow on the azure scales, the scene of the fields and hills is projected in the crystal eyeball, the mighty king of the sky. He circled twice in the air, then lowered his head and rushed towards the earth like a meteorite.
After the almost thrilling glide and deceleration, the blue dragon collided with a hundred-year-old giant tree and smashed the 100-meter-high giant tree in the middle, and then the unbalanced body was shaken by the shock and rolling. All the way forward, thunderous noises continued to sound, countless giant trees and solid rocks were torn apart in the impact, and a deep ravine nearly half a kilometer long was plowed out of the ground.
The blue dragon finally stopped at the foot of a cliff. After half a minute of breathing, she struggled to hold her head up. Countless earth, rocks, branches and leaves fell from her body, and a few terrifying wounds flowed with hot and shimmering wounds. blood.
The implants and modified glands in the dragon's body immediately began to work, and began to repair this strong and tough body. Melita raised her head, and the scales near her neck opened like some kind of heat sink, revealing a metallic texture underneath the scales. lining and radiant pipes and connections,
Streams of hot steam spewed out of the gaps in these implants, causing the blue dragon to snort lowly.
"Damn...I don't like boosters...but the current heart assist is limited edition..."
Melita muttered, her voice rumbling, but she still took out a huge gun-shaped syringe from nowhere. She held the syringe with her front paws and stabbed the front end deeply into the scaly gap under the neck, with the syringe leaking. There was a hissing sound of pressure, a liter of powerful compound booster and the same amount of regenerating agent were injected into the blood vessels, and her two auxiliary hearts, which were on the verge of tearing, finally eased.
The extra three hearts and the bionic pump under the scales can bring a huge increase in stamina and survivability to the dragons who need to travel far, but anyway, talking about the black trap with the aliens and reminding the forbidden knowledge about the gods... Still too exciting.
Melita took a deep breath, calming down the side effects caused by the overdose of the synergist - although some dragons still enjoy this feeling, and even have the problem of synergist addiction, she is really not used to it. .
After feeling a little better, she closed the scales around her neck, hiding the implants again.
In the dragon society of Tal Lund, implants and synergists have long been part of the life of the dragon family, and the newly born dragons will even undergo the first implant surgery in the first ten years of the dragon's life—— A resonant core is implanted in the skull. This resonance core will establish the connection between the user and "Omega", so that the young dragon can communicate with the powerful artificial intelligence, and the latter will complete the knowledge education and behavior guidance of the young dragon - so It can be said that any normal Tallond dragon citizen has 100% implants in his body.
It's just that some dragons choose to expose the implants, such as Speaker Andal, and some dragons prefer hidden transformations, such as Melita Purnia.
After a few dozen minutes of rest, Melita stood up. The bleeding wound on her body had healed urgently, and takeoff was no longer a problem. Although she still wanted to rest for a while, she knew that the colleague who was monitoring the situation at the rear was not a problem. They were probably messed up.
The blue dragon soared into the air and soon reached the height where he could communicate directly with Tallond.
Although it is also possible to contact Tallond on the surface, all communications at that altitude will be heard by the Dragon God. Only at this altitude near the end of the sky and near the Legacy of the "Navigator" will communications not be monitored by any god. .
Even if the person on the other side of the communication is standing on the ground, it is the same as standing at the gate of the god's palace - a million years have passed, and the remnants of the sailor are still there.
The pale golden communication interface appeared in front of Melita, and while maintaining her flight altitude, she called the Mithril Treasure Headquarters in the distance: "Melita Purnia calls the support team, Melita Purnia calls the support team... Hurry up and pick it up! I'm in the stratosphere with a level 10 disability now, can you hear me dialing up!!"
A somewhat nervous and flustered voice finally came from the communication interface: "Melita! This is Noretta - what's the situation on your side? Your implant suddenly reported that two of your four hearts exploded! And you've tripled your dose of the booster!"
Melita took a deep breath: "Hey...it didn't explode, I rescued it with regenerating agent, but the sensor should be broken...it's okay, I can feel them still jumping."
Hearing Melita's still-spirited voice, Noretta, who was far away in Tal Lund, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and in addition to her relaxation, she made a joke: "Why is it so miserable—you embezzled gifts from customers. The matter was finally discovered by the client? Which legendary powerhouse was pressed to the ground and beaten?"
"I chatted with Gawain Cecil about the black trap and the Reverse Tide Empire," Melita said lightly, "I accidentally said a few more words."
As expected, she heard a sound of things falling to the ground and several exclamations in the communication.
This self-inflicted confusion made Melita's mouth curl up slightly.
A friend's exclamation came from the pale golden communication interface: "Melita! You are crazy!! Are you dying?!"
"Isn't this still alive?"
"What the hell is going on?" Noretta seemed to finally calm down, and felt something strange in Melita's tone, "You can rest assured that Omega has intervened, and Speaker Andal is on the line."
"Gawain Cecil got an ultimate book made by the Anti-Tide Empire - don't exclaim, it's damaged," Melita said calmly, "Besides, when I didn't deliberately guide it. In this case, he summed up one of the core laws of 'disobedience'."
The other side of the communication was silent for a long time, and then a voice came: "Which one?"
"Man takes over divine power with human intelligence," Melita said. "The baby that climbs out of the cradle needs to use its own hands and feet..."
The majestic and steady voice of Speaker Andal came from the communication channel: "Okay, don't go on."
Even in this place close to the Legacy of the "Navigator", at this height far from the eyes of the gods, there are some taboos, so be careful.
Melita stopped this dangerous topic, and then, under the questioning of Noretta and Speaker Andal, carefully reported the meeting with Gawain Cecil today.
After the report was over, she heard Speaker Andar let out a long sigh.
It was a sigh of relief.
The dragon elder who has lived for a long time asked in a deep voice: "Melita, in your opinion, how far are ordinary people in the Cecil Empire...?"
Melita's answer is very direct: "Most of them are still ignorant and backward, controlled by the old kingship and theocracy, their minds and bodies are only mechanically obeying the instructions of the Government Affairs Office, rather than truly enlightening people's wisdom and acting independently, although Gawain Cecil has been pushing hard on education, but obviously it's not a problem that can be solved in four or five years."
Speaker Andal's voice seemed to be a little low: "...Yes, yes, this can't be solved in a few years..."
"But we can't ignore the changes that have taken place," Melita continued. "It is true that most people's transformation takes time, but all kinds of germs have indeed appeared in this land, or, in other words, The accumulation of this land itself has reached a critical point, and the appearance of Gawain Cecil has only advanced the process, and effectively concentrated these germs, preventing them from silently disappearing into the darkness - these germs include Theocratic doubts, including the pursuit of reason, and the cognition of natural laws, are now being used in the right way by Gawain, so the speed of change in Cecil's society may be faster than we expected. "
After another brief silence, Speaker Andal's voice sounded in a low voice: "...You seem to have extra confidence in Gawain Cecil and the order he created."
Melita's answer was still calm: "I have seen changes in this land that have not been seen in a thousand years."
"...I hope your judgment is correct." Speaker Andal said in a deep voice.
After the speaker's voice fell, Noretta's voice interjected: "But anyway, leaving the relics of the Anti-Tide Empire in human society is a bit risky, Melita, I think you'd better take back that book— —Tallond can make some compensation for this, and Gawain Cecil probably wouldn’t mind selling the dragon a favor, right?”
Melita shook her head, and just wanted to speak, but heard Speaker Andal's voice again: "Noretta, trust Melita's judgment on this matter."
"but……"
"Noretta, young you, are you more stubborn than an old man like me?"
Noretta paused for a moment: "...I understand, Your Excellency the Speaker."
This matter finally came to an end, and Melita couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
She challenged the rules and faced shocking information too many times today. Thinking about it now, she felt like frantically testing for hours on the verge of sudden death.
Such an exciting job... I can only say that dealing with Gawain Cecil is not very good for the heart.
Physiologically not very good.
"Melita, go back to Tallond after finishing the work at hand." Opposite the communicator, the voice of the White Dragon Noretta came again, "Your implant needs to be repaired, and the physical condition after the backlash is also It needs to be checked carefully."
"I know, you don't need to say it - I'm dying of pain now," Melita said, sucking in the cold air. "I'll find a place to rest for a day or two, and return to Tallond when I recover my strength."
"Received - all the best."
"Received your blessing."
The communication was hung up, and the pale golden communication interface turned into shimmering particles that gradually dissipated in the air.
Melita took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the icy air from the high altitude, and then slowly exhaling it.
With the dull pain in her muscles and skeleton, she began to slowly lower her height.
The land of Cecil's empire was reflected more and more clearly in her huge pupils.
Mountains and rivers, forests and plains, cities and villages, and countless people who live on this land.
"A change that hasn't happened in a thousand years... I hope I'm really not mistaken..."
The refraction stance spreads on the scales, the figure of the giant dragon gradually disappears in the illusion created by magic, the shadow of the dragon that has disappeared swept across the sky, and on the ground swept by the wind, a convoy full of supplies is setting off, full of hope. Immigrants are settling in, scrappy teams are assembling...
