Chapter 908 The Price of Knowledge

The changes in this city...are dizzyingly fast.

Melita Purnia walked out of her temporary accommodation, and the bustling and prosperous "Pioneer Avenue" came like a bizarre drama.

Decent citizens of Cecil and business travelers from south to north come and go on this wide street, which is enough for twelve carriages. The sounds of music, various human voices, the crisp ringing of the two-wheeled vehicle, all kinds of sounds are mixed together, and the lights behind the wide shop windows are bright, and all kinds of popular products this year seem to be witnesses to this prosperous new world. Arranged indifferently on those shelves, watching this prosperous human world.

It was almost dusk, the setting sun shone down from the direction of the western mountains and forests, and a faint golden glow covered the city.

In the past, twilight was the point when cities in the human world gradually became deserted. However, here, everything has long since changed. This is the time when workers who work hard all day take turns to rest, when students leave school, and when the night market takes place. Shops are opening their doors, and citizens are starting the most leisurely time of the day. Only at this time will comprehensive commercial streets like "Pioneer Avenue" be fully lively.

"I don't know what else is going on..." Melita stretched gracefully under the setting sun, and muttered softly, "I hope this exchange will not be too harmful to health..."

She walked towards the city center, walking through the prosperity of the human world.

There were several young people walking together, who were dressed in clothes that were obviously foreigners. They were talking and laughing along the way, but when they passed by Melita, they all slowed down. They looked in the direction of the agent with some confusion. They seemed to sense that there was someone here, but they didn't see anything, so they couldn't help but get nervous.

Melita smiled softly, walked past these suspicious young people, and whispered to herself: "Dragonborn... still retains a certain degree of sensitivity to the same clan. Anyway, It is also a good thing to walk out of that mountain, the time when this world is prosperous has always been precious..."

Several young dragon-born students on the street hesitated and discussed on the spot. They felt that the aura that suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly was very strange. One of the young people raised his eyes and glanced at the street intersection. He walked over there quickly: "Mr. Sheriff! Mr. Sheriff! We suspect that someone illegally uses invisibility spells!"

Melita, who had just walked out not too far away, immediately accelerated her pace: "Hey...Is the first thing to learn when studying abroad is to report..."

Cecil Palace stands magnificently in the center of the "Royal Quarter" in the city center. In fact, this building is no longer the tallest and largest house in the city.

But the imperial flag flying high above the building always has the "aura" that makes Cecil people awe.

The fully armed soldiers stood proudly at the post at the door. Melita released her concealment effect and walked calmly to the soldiers. The latter immediately adjusted their standing posture cautiously-but before the soldiers asked questions , the door not far away opened first, and a young girl wearing a black and white maid's uniform with a senior female official's dark gold emblem on her chest and cuffs walked out.

"Let her in," the high-ranking female officer greeted the soldier, "is your majesty's guest~"

"Miss Betty?" The soldier glanced back at Betty in doubt, and then turned to look at Melita, "Okay, I understand. But registration is still required."

"Of course," Melita nodded, "Melita Purnia, the senior agent of the Mithril Treasury, the special advisor and friend of His Majesty Gawain Cecil—just register like this."

After passing the checkpoint at the entrance, Melita followed Betty into the "palace" expanded and transformed from the lord's mansion. She asked casually, "Are the soldiers at the entrance new? They were standing guard before. The soldiers in the army should remember me, and I also carefully registered for my last visit."

Betty thought for a while, then shook her head confidently: "I don't know!"

Looking at the still energetic head maid (she is no longer a "little maid"), Melita was startled for a while, but soon smiled slightly, and her mood became more and more light.

She originally only came here to perform a short-term observation mission... but before she knew it, the people and things she observed seemed to have become a rather interesting and important part of life.

In this way, she came to Gawain's study with a light and good mood. In the study with velvet carpet and world map, she bowed slightly to the imperial ruler sitting behind the desk and said with a smile. The opening remarks have been said many times: "Good afternoon, Your Majesty, Melita Purnia, Senior Agent of the Mithril Vault, is pleased to serve you."

Gawain raised his head from the pile of documents and books, glanced at the agent lady in front of him, and after indicating that Betty could leave, he asked casually: "I'm looking for you today mainly for consultation, first let me ask, Is there an ancient metal tower near your Tallond? Probably to the west or northwest..."

Then Melita almost fell over with a smile on her face.

"What's the matter?" Gawain immediately noticed that the young lady agent looked different, "Is it difficult for me to answer this question?"

Immediately afterwards, he discovered a strange thing, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huh? You didn't wear a veil today?"

Melita tried her best to maintain an indifferent smile, and while adjusting her breathing, she replied, "I...after all, I'm also a woman, and I want to change my outfit occasionally."

Then she took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Your question... It's not at the level of breaking the taboo, but it's about the same. Compared to asking such scary things at the beginning, you can... come first. Would you like to transition to a normal topic?"

"Oh," Gawain nodded clearly and changed the question, "Have you eaten?"

Melita didn't realize what the inexplicable greeting meant, but she subconsciously replied, "...eat."

"That's good," Gawain said casually, "It seems that there is indeed a giant metal tower to the west of Tallond?"

Melita adjusted her breath with curiosity on her face: "...Can I ask first? How did you know the existence of this tower?"

"I got a travel journal, which mentioned a lot of interesting things," Gawain pointed to the "Modir's Travels" on the table, "a great adventurer once approached the dragon country by chance - he went around After the big storm, he came to the Arctic region. In the travel note, he not only mentioned the giant metal tower, but also mentioned more surprising clues, do you want to know?"

Melita immediately noticed something from Gawain's expression, and her next words became cautious: "A human who has entered the vicinity of the dragon country? How can this... What else is mentioned in the travel note? ?"

"Your name was mentioned," Gawain looked into the other's eyes, "It is clearly recorded that a giant dragon accidentally destroyed the adventurer's ship, and took him to the place where the tower was located to remedy the mistake.' On the Isle of Steel', the dragon calls herself Melita Purnia—a member of the Tallond Council..."

Every time Gawain said a word, Melita's eyes seemed to widen a bit, and in the end, the giant dragon finally couldn't help interrupting him: "Wait a minute! My name was mentioned? You are Say, the adventurer who left the travel notes said he knew me? He saw me in the Arctic? How is this..."

Gawain nodded: "It seems that you have no impression of this, do you?"

"I... don't remember," Melita said with a bewildered face, she never imagined that the senior agent who had always been in charge of providing consulting services would one day become the party full of confusion and need to be answered, "I have never been in the What human adventurers have ever met near Tallond, let alone brought people near that tower... It's against the taboo, you know? Taboo..."

"Okay, I get it, we'll talk about this in detail later," Gawain noticed that the mental stress of the surrogate lady seemed to be rising sharply. He, who is experienced in the field, immediately suspended the topic and guided the conversation to the follow-up, "This travel journal also mentions another concept, a strange term... Do you know what 'sailor' means?"

Melita was actually relieved when she heard Gawain change the subject, but she couldn't successfully breathe out the breath - when the word "Navigator" entered her ears, she only felt in her mind There was a "boom" in her heart and in the depths of her soul at the same time, and in the roar that was unbearable for the dragon, she also heard Gawain's follow-up words: "...What does the legacy of the sailor refer to? Is it a product of knowledge? Does it have something to do with some 'secret' that your dragons are keeping..."

For the first time since she became a senior agent, Melita tried to block or refuse to answer these questions from the client, but Gawain's words seemed to have some kind of magic that directly penetrated the security protocol she preset for herself - the fact Proving that this human being is really weird, Melita found that she couldn't even shut down part of her nervous system urgently, and couldn't stop thinking about relevant questions and "responding urges", she instinctively began to think about those answers, and when the answers emerged In an instant, her "ontology" folded in the gap between the elements and the world immediately sent an overwhelmed detection signal——

The agent staggered on the spot, her face instantly became extremely ugly, and an abnormal, dragon-wing-like shadow appeared behind her.

Gawain was immediately taken aback by the unexpectedly strong reaction, and immediately stood up from behind the desk: "Are you all right?"

Melita waved her hand in pain, and barely walked two steps to the desk. She held on to the desk to regain her footing, and then she appeared a little lost and muttered to herself: "Break... 38,000." The one that blew up..."

"What exploded? What thirty-eight?" Although Gawain could hear the other party's words clearly, he didn't understand what it meant. "Sorry, it seems that it was my fault..."

"No...you didn't do it on purpose, and it may be reimbursed..." Melita waved her hand again and whispered with a wry smile, "Well, I have to do my part, your question...I can only answer part of it. The so-called sailor is an ancient civilization that has left this world, and their legacy is the root cause of the 'reverse tide' of the past. Yes, the 'ultimate book' you found... I It was said that it was used to steal knowledge, and what the Anti-Tide Empire used it to steal was the legacy left by the sailors. Those legacy must not be leaked out, let alone mastered by lower-level mortal civilizations, all I can tell you is There's only so much."

The ancient civilizations that have left this world...the root cause of the rebellion...the legacy that cannot fall into the hands of lower-level civilizations...

Melita said that she could only answer part of it, but the few key points she answered were enough to answer most of Gawain's questions!

In fact, as early as when he saw Modir's travel notes, he had already vaguely guessed the meaning of the so-called "sailor", guessed what the heritage and the giant tower meant, and Melita's answer completely confirmed it His conjecture was confirmed: the "navigator" in the mouth of the dragon family refers to the mysterious "Godslayer Fleet", which is the ancient civilization that left a lot of satellites and orbital facilities in space!

The "Reverse Tide Empire" in ancient times caused a huge crisis after coming into contact with the legacy (knowledge) of the "God Killing Fleet", which eventually led to the Reverse Tide Chaos. Once was the first time he got positive and accurate information about the "God Killing Fleet" from Melita.

On the whole, Melita's answer was only to confirm Gawain's previous speculation or circumstantial evidence, and to connect some originally independent clues into a whole. For Gawain, this was actually just one of his It's just the beginning of a series of problems, but for Melita... it seems that these "little problems" are causing unforeseen troubles.

This made Gawain feel a little sorry.

"I'm sorry, my question was reckless," he immediately apologized to Melita - he didn't care about the so-called "ruler's air", not to mention that the other party was his first dragon friend, a sincere apology is necessary to maintain friendship Condition, "If you think it is necessary, we can stop here."

"It's okay," Melita immediately shook her head, she readjusted her breath, and resumed her role as the elegant and calm Mithril Treasurer's senior agent, "My work ethic does not allow me to do this - continue to consult, I'm in good shape."

"Okay, I will pay attention to my next questions, try not to involve 'dangerous areas'," Gawain said, sorting out the questions he had prepared in his mind, "I should ask you for a name. Right? Maybe someone you know."

Melita breathed a sigh of relief, and even smiled lightly again: "Of course, of course it's fine."

Gao Wen nodded: "Do you know a dragon named Enya?"

Melita's face changed suddenly.

The 42,000 one also blew up.
