Chapter 831 The Confusion Brought by the Unknown

A heavily armed black dragon descended from the sky, stirring up a huge water column on the White Water River—this kind of thing was a surprise for the citizens of Cecil, who often saw strange things on weekdays, so they quickly The patrols of the river and the embankment reported the situation to the Government Affairs Office, and the news soon reached Gawain's ears.

Almost as soon as the patrol personnel reported the news, Gawain knew what fell from the sky-Rebecca sent an emergency communication from the experimental base far away in the parish, indicating that the falling object on the White Water River It should be Maggie who had a mechanical failure...

Today seems destined to be a very lively day.

After soaking in the cold Baishui River for a while, Maggie felt the pain in her body and the dizziness in her head subsided slightly. She confirmed her injuries, then propped up her limbs and stepped on the mud at the bottom of the river step by step. Sand, walking towards the river bank.

Probably the previous fall had severely damaged the mechanical structure of the steel wing. She felt that some joints of the steel skeleton fixed on the wing had been stuck, which made her posture somewhat weird, and it took more effort to finally arrive. On the shore, she heard the noisy sound from the shore, and the faint sound of the mechanical ship starting, so she couldn't help sighing in her heart.

It seems that the movement when he fell was too great, and it had caused a lot of confusion. There should be many onlookers on the shore, and the sound of the mechanical boat... Mostly the superior already knew the situation of the "falling object", which was the river management department. The "tugboat" sent to help you ashore...

Maggie thought for a while, and felt that a huge black dragon suddenly ran out of the Baishui River at this time, and there was still a lot of hideous-looking "armor" hanging on it, which would probably cause considerable trouble - although many Sisi Everyone knows that their emperor has a black dragon under his majesty, and even witnessed the scene of "black dragon falling" every three to five in the air base on the outskirts of the city, but the Baishui River is close to the inner city after all, so try to avoid unnecessary confusion.

What's more, it is necessary to take into account the "confidentiality" of this cutting-edge technology.

So she gave up the plan to go ashore directly in this posture, but directly transformed into a human shape underwater, and then, while sensing the crowd on the shore, she found a place with relatively few people to go ashore...

As for the "salvage team" that has already set off... I'll explain it later.

Near the river bank where the crowd gathered, on a relatively inconspicuous bank, the sound of water suddenly sounded, and then a black-haired shawl, wearing a black maid's uniform and soaking wet came out of the water.

Maggie's footsteps were a little vain, and the trauma suffered by the dragon form was also reflected on this human body. She staggered ashore and looked embarrassed, but slowly, she laughed.

The more he laughed, the happier he even laughed out loud.

"Mom! There's a sister over there! It looks like she just came out of the river and is soaked all over!!"

Maggie stopped laughing, followed the sound and looked over, and saw a child not far away looking at this side with a surprised face, followed by a young woman with equally wide-eyed eyes.

"Don't scream! Offend people!" The young woman bowed her head and scolded her child, then looked at Maggie with some nervousness and worry, and called from a distance, "Miss, do you need help?"

Maggie waved her hand with a smile, with bursts of heat on her body, and while quickly drying the clothes soaked in the river water, she walked towards the inner city.

At the same time, she still had some doubts and apprehension in her heart - when she fell, she seemed to vaguely see a shadow flashing in the river... But when she came back to her senses, she didn't find any clues around her. Did you hit something?

I hope no one is hurt... otherwise, under that speed and strength,

I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to be safe and sound...

...

In the Cecil Palace, in the room with a large pool, the clear water suddenly surged up and condensed into a female appearance in mid-air.

Betty, who was holding a big wooden ladle and stirring in the pool, was startled. The wooden ladle almost fell into the water. She took a half step back, and then stared at Tyr who came out of the water.

After a delay of two seconds, Betty bowed slowly: "Miss Tyre, good afternoon!!"

"Hey, good afternoon..." Tyre replied dazedly, as if he hadn't realized what was going on, "Strange, I'm not in the White Water River... Omg!"

Some terrifying "dying memories" emerged in Miss Kraken's water-filled head.

Betty was startled by Tyre's exclamation. She clenched the long handle of the wooden ladle with both hands and stared at each other with wide eyes. The latter was agitated, her long tail curled up in the water, her face full of horror. Looking at the royal maid in front of him: "Betty! I was stabbed to death by an iron chin just now!!"

Betty: "...?"

"Napping is getting more and more dangerous these days..." Till continued to speak words that no one could understand, "I shouldn't have gone out, how could this happen when I stay in the house... Hey, Betty, say Has the water been getting saltier recently? How much salt have you put in?"

...

After dozens of minutes, Maggie, who had returned from the "crash point" by herself, came to Gawain.

"I heard," Gawain put the documents he was flipping aside and looked at Miss Dragonborn standing in front of him with a strange expression, "You are testing the 'Wings of Steel' made by Rebecca... test Failed?"

"I had a mechanical failure in the air, but I don't think it's a complete failure," Maggie replied immediately. "The liftoff was smooth, and the first half of the flight was about an hour. I think the steel wings themselves are It works, but there are some design flaws that need to be adjusted..."

"Failure is the only way in the process of technology research and development, I understand," Gawain interrupted Maggie's words, and looked at the other party up and down, "But you...how is your injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's no big deal. I successfully slowed down in the last half, but after entering the water, I was only slightly strained and dizzy," Maggie replied earnestly, "Dragonborn's recovery ability is very strong, and it has Not serious injuries."

"Then let's go look at Pitman, and take a break for a while," Gawain looked at Maggie, showing a hint of curiosity, "Also... what about that set of 'Wings of Steel'? Are they left at the bottom of the river?"

Maggie shook her head: "It's still on me, on my dragon-shaped body—if you want to disassemble it for inspection, you need to find an open space for me to change form."

"I'm not in a hurry..." Gawain said casually, the curiosity that suddenly surged in his heart became stronger and stronger, he stood up from behind the desk, couldn't help but looked Maggie up and down again, "Actually, I've always been very curious. Do you care... What is the principle of your dragon's 'transformation'? In the process of changing form, where did the items you carry with you go? The personal items in human form are nothing more than a huge device as large as a steel wing. Can it also be hidden with the form transformation?"

Maggie opened her mouth, and was inevitably a bit at a loss by Gawain's series of questions, but she soon remembered that Cecil's Emperor had a strong curiosity about technology, and even in a sense, this legendary The pioneers themselves are the earliest technicians in this land, and one of the founders of magic technology - Rebecca and the technicians under her usually keep coming up with "why" "styles", I'm afraid it's not simply Just learned from the legendary pioneer.

She was a little secretly admiring and a little overwhelmed, and she forced a less rigid smile before she said a little embarrassedly: "This involves a very complicated process of material transformation, in fact, even Longyi himself can't figure it out. ...it is the gift of dragons, but dragonborn is not a complete 'dragon...'

"Some scholars have speculated that the dragon's transformation spell is actually a kind of space replacement. We temporarily store another body of ourselves in a space that cannot be opened by a third party, so that we can explain our transformation process. Huge volume and mass changes in the

"Another explanation is 'elemental criticality', which holds that the dragon's shapeshifting spells 'elementally reshape' the matter that composes itself, like shaping a pile of sand into different forms, and we recorded The 'password' of each combination of sand grains can also extract additional sand grains from the 'beach' of the elemental world to shape the body... In fact, this statement is more difficult to apply than the 'spatial replacement' theory, which needs to be explained There are too many links, and most of them cannot be verified by technical means...

"But in my opinion, I prefer to believe the second explanation."

Having said this, Maggie couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile: "Maybe the dragons of Tallond know more, they have higher technology, more knowledge... but they never share this with outsiders. Knowledge, including the mortal races of Loren, as well as us exiled 'Dragonborn'."

Gawain has always been concerned about the mysterious and inextricable connection between the dragon family and the dragonborn, but at this moment his attention is still more on the unknown knowledge-many transformation spells in this world have always been his favorite. Things that are confusing and curious are also areas that rune logic has not been able to fully explain so far, and as the source of transformation spells, the transformation of dragons seems to contain the biggest contradictions and secrets of the world's "material boundary"— —

What the hell is going on with the "substance" in this world? Why does the operation of magic make things change so strangely? A behemoth weighing several tons can be transformed into a light human being, and the huge mass seems to "disappear out of thin air"... How did this process happen?

attributable to elements? Due to space-time replacement?

No matter what the reason is, it seems to be inseparable from the operation of magic power, which then involves the most essential question: magic power, what is it?

How this kind of thing, which is most likely a "wave", affects the essence of everything in the world...

Gawain frowned. Today's conversation with Maggie seemed to have suddenly touched some intuitions in his heart, and once again made him pay attention to the strange connection and "boundary" between matter and magic in this world.

For a long time, he had been busy paying attention to the operation of the empire and the complicated continental situation. At this moment, the conversation about "Transfiguration" suddenly brought his attention back to the border of "unknown". In the midst of this, he couldn't help but think of the magic tide again.

Under the influence of powerful chaotic magic, a terrible disaster that has affected the whole world and turned all matter upside down.

Gawain's thoughts couldn't help but spread freely for a while, and all kinds of thoughts were constantly reorganized and linked by inspiration. In his wild thoughts, he even came up with a somewhat absurd and bizarre idea:

The world's material has been turned upside down... Could it be that the magic tide is a "transfiguration" that affects the entire planet...

"His Majesty?"

Maggie watched Gawain speak and suddenly fell into silence, her expression became more and more serious, the initial confusion quickly turned into nervousness, she called out in a low voice, and Gawain suddenly lost his mind. woke up.

Gawain quickly sorted out the thoughts and conjectures just now, and then slowly sorted it out after preparation. At the same time, he looked at Maggie apologetically: "Sorry, I was a little distracted when I thought about some things just now. Where did we say?"

"We're talking about the principles behind Transfiguration," Maggie was confused, but didn't ask any more, just lowered her head and replied, "I mentioned that Tallond may have more relevant knowledge, but the dragons never communicate with outsiders. share their knowledge and skills.”

"Tallond..." Gawain couldn't help muttering softly, "Is the hometown of Mylittlepony... It's really curious."
