Chapter 883

The development of things was so unexpected that Gawain didn't react for half a minute.

He stared at the large box that Noretta had opened. The strangely shaped shield, roughly the size of a medium-sized one-handed shield, was lying quietly between cushioning materials made of unknown substances. A series of memories of this shield then emerged - of course he recognized what it was, although he had already given up finding it, this shield was after all the personal equipment of his body, the impression in his mind is deep and clear.

He didn't expect this thing to appear in front of him in this form at this time.

Noretta's voice woke Gawain from his brief distraction: "This is yours, right?"

"Ah, yes," Gawain blinked and nodded, "Ansu Kingdom Guardian Shield, I thought I would never see it in my life. It is in the hands of the Mithril Treasure?"

"If that's the case, we would have given it back to you long ago," Melita shook her head, "We also accidentally discovered its whereabouts recently - the Mithril Treasury has always been run with integrity, and you are our important customer, so We returned it to its original owner as soon as possible."

There is no need for the dragon to lie about this kind of issue. Gawain knew this very well, so he quickly believed Melita's statement, then he frowned and looked at the two agents curiously: "You are from Where did you find it?"

"In the elemental world, in the realm of the fire element," Melita said, "an elemental lord secretly hid it, and even regarded it as part of his elemental inner shell, if it weren't for the elemental lord who happened to owe Mithril A treasure trove that no one will find for centuries."

Gawain was taken aback on the spot: "Elemental World?! How did it land there?"

Melita spread her hands: "It's hard to say - we didn't expect that what the element lord secretly hid would be your lost property, so we didn't prepare for inquiries in advance, and waited until we found this thing. When I wanted to ask, the element lord who owed the debt was unable to answer the question due to a little bit of unfortunate force majeure..."

Gawain could use his biceps to figure out what Melita's elegant and artistic words meant inside and out, and immediately glanced at the agent with admiration: "In terms of language art, it's your dragons who are powerful."

Melita accepted the compliment calmly, with an elegant and reserved smile behind the veil: "Although we haven't investigated the details, we can still roughly speculate that this shield should have been stolen from the battlefield by that element lord— —In the civil war a hundred years ago of your human race. Perhaps some crappy wizard on the battlefield opened a rift to the element world, or perhaps the element lord premeditatedly bewitched a certain element mage,

Sneak out your 'hand' - your shield is powerful, and it will naturally attract those creatures who like magic. "

Gawain couldn't help sighing: "This kind of thing didn't happen in the Gondor era... Elemental creatures also have to obey the rules."

Melita shook her head: "But the Gondor Empire that can make the element world feel awe is gone, and the current element residents don't respect humans who are scattered."

"...Anyway, thank you very much for sending it," Gawain sighed, nodding his thanks to the two senior agents quite earnestly-although for him now, a shield used for charging has long been It's not as important as it used to be, but it's an exciting thing to recover the equipment that shared the legendary reputation with Gawain Cecil, especially when it was two giant dragons who found this treasure. It can not only boost the morale of the whole country, but even enhance the prestige and influence of the Cecil Empire in the world, so his gratitude comes from the bottom of his heart, "I won't let you go home empty-handed - but I don't know Mithril. What kind of reward does the treasure house want?"

"You're creating distance by saying that," Melita shook her head immediately. "There is no charge for returning the lost property, but in exchange, we hope to ask you a few questions before returning the shield."

Gawain was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this group of giant dragons, who can count even a single coin, would be so generous this time, so after hearing Melita's "a few questions", he immediately concentrated his mind - the free ones are the ones The most expensive, these few problems of the Mithril Treasure House are afraid that there are pits in it...

Of course, the two agents didn't know what kind of magic train was running in Gawain's head, they looked at each other, and Noretta was the first to speak: "The first question - we want to know the specifics of this shield. history."

"History?" Gawain frowned, and immediately realized something from the first question. Before answering, he asked cautiously, "Why are you interested in this?"

"...Considering that you used 'God's Metal' to trade with us, I can remind you," Melita pointed to the guardian shield, "You didn't notice the main material of this shield. Is there something special?"

"Material?" Gawain was stunned, and then some details in the inherited memories that he had ignored suddenly flashed in his mind. He immediately bent down and picked up the guardian shield. Between the metal parts and the cladding material, he saw the most primitive material of the shield, which was a silver-white metal, but very fine, star-like light spots flowed on the surface. At that time, he could feel a peculiar warmth - it was completely different from any conventional metal in the world, "This thing..."

He doesn't recognize this material, but some properties of this material are somewhat similar to another material he knows, or they all have the same "advanced nature". I saw two men with a Hong Kong style, the former and the latter are not the same person, but Gawain can still judge that they are related to the same origin-the style of painting is different from the background of the whole world...

The main material of the guardian's shield reminded him of "the metal of the gods", the advanced ancient alloy called "eternal slate", and the remains of the weapons and vehicles that imprisoned the god of nature in the shadow fortress.

He frowned slightly - the memory he inherited was not his own after all, and he subconsciously ignored this detailed impression.

If he is a genuine Gawain Cecil, he should think of his own shield after touching the Eternal Slate Fragment, but he is not, and the memories he inherited can only be used under unnecessary circumstances. Lying quietly in the deepest part in a nearly archived way, he "missed" many details in this way.

"Looks like you've figured it out," Noretta looked at Gawain's change of expression and broke the silence at this time, "The main material of this shield has a certain connection with the metal of the gods called 'Eternal Slate'—making They belong to the same civilization."

Gawain gave Noretta a deep look.

For some unknown purpose, Tal Lund's dragons have been collecting "God's Metal", and the "true identity" of God's Metal is the fragments left in this world by the "God-killing Fleet".

The dragons seem to know the secrets of some ancient god-killing wars, and even know the origin of the god-killing fleet.

However, they obviously did not intend and could not tell these secrets - he had asked Melita about this, and after nearly killing the agent on the spot, he confirmed it deeply.

Considering that all dragons should be similar, the question of killing Melita should also kill Noretta, so he did not ask anything about "God Metal" and "God Killing Fleet". Instead, he exhaled slightly, and while sorting out the memories in his mind, he answered Noretta's question: "I got this shield when the Northern Expeditionary Force crossed the magic scorch marks - its main material is we Found it during a search of a supply warehouse at the Veplanton Observatory."

Noretta showed a hint of curiosity: "Veplandon Observatory?"

"The largest astronomical observation and celestial research center in the northern part of the Gondor Empire," Gawain said, "there was the famous Veeplandon meteor shower, and then the people of Gondor established there to study the outer space material that fell to the surface. Research facilities, and a few years later, an observatory, astrology hall, and a giant gravitational analysis station called 'Star Axis' were added to the research facility - of course, these things all disappeared when the magic wave came, our The northern troops were just looking for some supplies in those remaining underground warehouses."

As he spoke, Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The former Empire of Gondor... The technology is even far more advanced than that of the earth in his previous life. Although due to the focus of the technology tree, the people of Gondor in the past have not yet tried to step into the universe, but scholars at that time are still very concerned about planets. , stars, and space have a certain degree of understanding, but unfortunately, all these brilliant achievements have disappeared with a magic tide, not only the technical talents and technical materials in the hinterland of the empire, but even some research facilities set up in remote areas. failed to survive.

To this day, the Gondor Empire's understanding of the stars has only been left in ordinary people's superficial common sense concepts such as "we live on a planet" and "there are other planets beyond the planet", and these Common sense concepts are also rapidly annihilating, disappearing, and gradually merged with those vague legends.

Fortunately, the recovery of civilization brought about by magic technology is curbing this decline, and scholars who have been re-focused and motivated have begun to share the knowledge that has been dusted in various mage towers, and have begun to rebuild in suitable areas. Modern astronomical observation or research facilities too.

Noretta had no way of knowing what Gawain was feeling, she just noticed the background of the establishment of the "Veplandon Observatory": "That is, the observatory was originally used to study meteorites - you are in the warehouse ruins It is very likely that what was found fell from the sky along with the meteorite."

Although Gawain was answering Noretta's question, he himself gradually realized the clues behind these questions and answers at this moment. Many things that he hadn't noticed before or had been stored in the depths of his memory slowly emerged, and they were connected together into a complete set. Guess--Godslayer Fleet, Veeplandon Meteor Shower, Metal of Unknown Origin...

All of this was being concatenated into a huge truth, and he never thought that this truth would have been hidden beside Gawain Cecil, hidden in the deepest part of his own memory.

"You mean that the piece of metal we found in the ruins of Viplandon was part of the 'Meteor Shower' that year," Gawain looked at the Guardian Shield in his hand, and the shield couldn't help but come to his mind The process of being forged (or processed), "It fell from the sky... No wonder..."

"I'm a little curious," Melita said suddenly beside him. "What you found back then was just a metal plate of unknown origin—how did it eventually become the Guardian's Shield?"

Gawain thought for a while, and told him frankly: "None of us know this thing - most of the people in the expeditionary army at that time were of very low background, and the only scholars, mages, and priests were concerned about the matter of the Viplandon Observatory. I don't know, but we found the metal to be incredibly strong and resistant to almost any magical attack, and it showed no signs of erosion in the magic tide environment, plus it was a decent size, so Charlie suggested putting it in a handle …”

Melita: "..."

Noretta: "..."

Gawain looked at the two wide-eyed agents and spread out his hands helplessly: "You can't expect the human expeditionary force, which was in critical supply shortage situation and lacked high-level technical talents, to have better results when facing an unknown metal. Performance, it is impossible for us to form a team of experts to slowly study what it is, and the expeditionary army at that time urgently needed more powerful combat power-a shield that was invincible at the time could allow a powerful knight to protect more people through pollution area, and a piece of heavy metal can only slow down the journey. Of course, I admit that 'set a handle' seems a bit sloppy and rough... but there is no bigger brain in the expedition than Charlie, and everyone has no better ideas. , Charlie's plan is more or less a choice."

"We're just surprised that you dare to make an unknown piece of metal into your carry-on equipment without knowing whether it's harmful," Melita said solemnly, looking at Gawain, "As a Gondorian, you always Should there be a concept of elemental erosion and energy radiation?"

Gawain glanced at Melita and suddenly laughed: "Is it greater than the elemental erosion and energy radiation of the Gondor Wasteland itself?"

"...It's true."

Melita reluctantly admitted that behind Gawain and the others' seemingly rude and ignorant actions back then was the fact that they had no choice after thinking, while Gawain looked at the guardian shield in his hand, and his thoughts became more and more solemn——

When he used this shield as a key word to search for Gawain Cecil's memory in his mind, he found a fault as well!
