The sudden change made Gawain sluggish on the spot for a while.
The vast and vivid landscape had stabilized in his field of vision, the brief dizziness and trance had faded, and all his senses and thinking had returned to normal, the seascape at dusk, the low sky in the distance, and the overhead. The clouds are slowly moving with Melita's flight. Suddenly, the giant dragon lowered its height again, and the sound of flapping its wings sounded from both sides, causing Gawain to wake up from the shock.
He turned his head suddenly, and saw Amber's amber eyes gleaming in the twilight sky. She was excitedly looking at the sky and sea in the distance, her face was full of joy, as if she had never experienced it before The shocking change.
Veronica was also sitting quietly not far away, looking like she was closing her eyes and resting, as if she had been that attitude from the beginning and had never changed.
Gawain raised his eyes and looked into the distance in the direction of Melita's tail. He saw the magnificent cloud wall - the barrier of the Eternal Storm had been thrown behind the dragon, although it was still visible from this distance. It was very spectacular, but it was no longer as suffocating and oppressive as when it came head-on. It slowly moved away from Gawain's line of sight, and many details of the cloud wall's exterior gradually became blurred in the dim sky.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Why didn't you speak suddenly?" Amber's voice suddenly sounded from the side, his tone was full of confusion, "Still watching that storm? Didn't we just wear it from there?"
Gawain looked into Amber's eyes, trying to find even the slightest sense of disobedience on the other's face, but he found nothing. Before the confusion on Amber's face became more apparent, he looked back and asked seemingly casually, "Did we make it through the storm... looks like it's going well?"
"Of course it went smoothly," Amber nodded. "Although it was scary when I first rushed in, Melita flew quite steadily. After getting used to it, it felt quite interesting..."
Gawain's brows furrowed a little, and before he continued to question, Veronica, who was sitting next to him, closed his eyes and opened his eyes suddenly: "Is there anything unusual?"
"Do you remember how we passed through the storm?" Gawain looked at Veronica, and asked while calmly pinching his thighs - even though in this world where there are all kinds of supernatural powers, pinching He didn't necessarily verify whether he was in a dream or hallucinated, but when the pain came, he was a little relieved.
Veronica didn't seem to notice Gawain's small movements, she just thought and recalled seriously after hearing the other party's question, and then nodded: "After breaking into the cloud wall, we flew in a dim and full of discharge clouds. During the cyclone, the environment outside was very harsh, but Melita was not affected much.
Amber was very excited all the way, and you've been watching the lightning and the phenomena deep in the cyclone - no twists and turns. Then Melita bypassed the central area from near the eye of the storm, and passed through the cloud wall at the other end, and we came out safely. "
"That's all?" Gawain couldn't help confirming one more sentence, after seeing Veronica's serious expression, he thought for a moment and asked, "Then after crossing the central area of the storm, did I say or do anything else? ?"
"You are continuing to observe various phenomena in the cyclone, Amber has been talking a lot of nonsense, I am resting, and Melita is flying seriously."
Veronica said slowly with no expression on her face, then she looked into Gawain's eyes and said in a serious tone, "So, what's the problem?"
Gawain didn't answer for a while, just glanced around quietly - his eyes swept over a nearby dragon scale, and the dragon scale looked smooth and without scratches.
He still remembered that he had left handwriting on this scale, but the handwriting seemed to disappear.
"What happened in my memory doesn't seem to be the same as what you said..." He said casually, and then his eyes fell on a large magic net terminal not far away.
He recalled what happened in the storm and cyclone, and the scene of Amber's first reaction to rescue the data when Melita's flight suddenly became unbalanced. After thinking for a moment, he strode to the magic net terminal, bent He lowered his waist to open a metal cover at its base - a palm-sized crystal sheet that was emitting a faint blue light appeared in front of him.
The memory board is still well inserted in the machine and doesn't appear to have been removed by anyone.
No matter how thick the nerves were, Amber realized at this time that something might be wrong. She leaned over from behind and looked at Gawain's actions curiously: "Hey, what did you find?"
"...If only we had an audio-visual recording of the whole process... The preparations in this area are still not comprehensive... In the final analysis, the technology is limited."
The magic net terminal has the function of recording images. After Melita took off, the device installed on the dragon's back not only collected meteorological and magical data in the marine environment, but also continued to collect images for a period of time. However, the modern magic technology is not advanced enough. After getting close to the eternal storm, the various devices on Melita's back became useless due to strong interference, and the magic net terminal, which was the only one that could record audio and video, was no exception.
Therefore, Gawain has no way to trace back what happened at that time from the data recorded by the equipment, and to be honest, based on the strange situation in front of him, he suspects that even if there is a photographic equipment here to record the whole process of Melita crossing the storm, The things recorded there are not necessarily reliable...
Some mysterious power erased what had happened, and the only clue left seemed to be his own memory...
Up to now, he even has doubts about his own memory - maybe... at that time, as Amber and Veronica said, nothing happened? What was left in his memory was just an illusion? Some kind of dream?
Gawain sighed, and closed the metal cover on the base of the device, but when his fingers brushed the edge of the metal cover, he suddenly felt a small bump and stopped subconsciously.
He took his fingers away and saw a very inconspicuous little mark on the edge of the cover, which looked like it had been pryed by something sharp and hard, and it was definitely not what it was designed for. shape.
Those were the scars left by being forcibly pried open with a dagger in an emergency.
At this moment, Amber's squeaking voice came from the side again: "Hey, what's the matter? Why is your expression so serious all of a sudden?"
Gawain raised his head and glanced at Amber, and then at Veronica who was casting a curious gaze not far away. After a short silence and thought, he suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry about it, there is nothing. occur."
Amber didn't understand the situation for a while: "Huh?"
Gawain didn't explain anything, but suddenly reached out and pressed the dwarf winter melon's hair, with some relief and praise: "You did a good job."
When Melita had a sudden situation before, Amber's first reaction was to run to rescue the data regardless of her life and death... If this happened to her a few years ago, it would definitely be an unimaginable thing, even if it was Even now, Gawain still couldn't believe that was Amber's reaction, but she did - even though she didn't seem to remember it anymore.
Amber dumbfoundedly felt the touch on his head. Looking at Gawain who suddenly smiled like a relieved old father, his first reaction was whether the long-term high-altitude flight would have any adverse effect on the mental state of the elderly. , but she didn't say the disrespectful words in her mind, but calmly accepted the praise of the other party - although she didn't understand what happened, Miss Amber always took advantage of the plain arrival. occupy.
Veronica on the other side has been watching all this quietly. Her thoughts are obviously far more profound than Amber, and she also vaguely realized that some things may have happened in the process of crossing the storm before. Only Gawain. The "abnormal phenomenon" that can only be detected, but she did not take the initiative to ask anything, but a hint of inquiring intent came from her eyes.
Gawain just shook his head slightly.
Veronica withdrew her gaze clearly, sat back to the place where she rested, and continued to close her eyes to rest.
The dragon continued to fly north, and as a guide and means of transportation, Melita became the most unknown "person" at the scene, and she didn't seem to have much interest in what was happening on her back. She can already feel the cold wind in her hometown, and she can already feel the breath of Tal Lund from the changes in the nearby magnetic field and magical environment. Under the attraction of the warm dragon nest and the quest allowance, Miss Blue Dragon issued a message. A pleasant growl, a little faster than before.
Night has fallen, and the stars are scattered on this endless ice ocean. In the dry and cloudless Arctic region, the sky full of stars is obviously more brilliant than the mainland region.
Gawain could clearly feel that the speed and manner of the night falling was different from that of the mainland area - they did not clearly see which direction the sun was setting from, nor did they see the complete change of the sunset, this night did not rise from the sky. , but more like... they were riding on the dragon's back and actively flew into the darkness.
Polar night in the Arctic region - This phenomenon has been mentioned in Modir's travels and various writings by scholars.
Under this night, Gawain seemed to have suddenly regained a sense of "reality". He exhaled slightly and stared at the sea in the distance-under the night sky, a hazy light had already appeared on the sea in that direction. It seems that a large number of man-made lights illuminate the sea in the polar night, and in the depths of the dim light, the outline of the land and the slightly raised arcs like some kind of shielding device can be vaguely seen.
"We're almost there!" Melita's slightly excited voice came from the front at this moment, "That's Tallond!
"I'm going to continuously lower the altitude - you guys are ready!"
Afterwards, with the thunderous roar of Miss Giant Dragon, Gawain felt a slight tremor under his feet, and the picture in his field of vision tilted. The perfect balance of speed was achieved through a short dive - in this rapid flight, the outline of Tal Lund became more and more clear.
Amber couldn't help but ran to the front. She stood in front of Melita's shoulder blades, craned her neck to look at the continent that appeared on the sea in the distance, and let out an exaggerated exclamation in her long voice: "Wow—I I see it! I see it! A continent! Tallond, that is Tallond!"
"The lights are brighter and denser than the Cecil Empire...even more than the imperial capital of Gondor," Veronica couldn't help standing up, she sighed to Gawain while looking into the distance, "You see Is that dome-like thing? Then... it seems to be a huge shield that covers the entire continent?!"
"...The technical strength of the Dragon Clan obviously surpasses that of any country on the Loren Continent," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, the sight he saw did not exceed his previous judgment on the Dragon Clan, "It's reasonable—they are after all It has existed in this world for so many years, and several civilizations on the Loren continent have not affected the dragon race, and they will naturally be more advanced than us..."
"Tallond will definitely be an eye-opener for you!" Melita said happily, with obvious pride in her tone - on this trip back home, Miss Dragon seems to have finally let go of herself as a secret. The kind of elegant and calm person who pretended to be the senior agent of the silver treasure house, she seemed to talk a lot, and her personality became lively and agile, "I will show you the place where I live, as well as our city and temple... Of course, Let’s hear what the gods have arranged first. But don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble, after all, you are all guests of Tallond…”
Gawain responded casually. In fact, his attention was completely on the distant continent, and he didn't pay much attention to what Melita said.
He stared wide-eyed at the ancient land that was bathed in stars and countless artificial lights, and a sense of anticipation and excitement about the imminent visit to an unknown land inevitably filled his heart. He looked at the shimmering dome, which was most likely some kind of super-advanced shield, at the city lights on the land and the splendor of light passing by at low altitude, he looked at the clear and brilliant stars of the arctic region reflected in the tower On the sea near Elrond, watching the white glaciers and rolling waves in the ocean glow slightly in the night, he saw some kind of flesh and blood mass like giant tentacles suddenly emerge from the sky over Tallond. He came out and swept across the entire kingdom of giant dragons like licking, looking at the sky above the sea with countless pairs of eyes vaguely emerging, staring at the entire continent with indifferent and cold eyes...
A gigantic, twisted thing with countless tentacles, limbs, eyes, and various other chaotic things twisted and mixed up appeared in Gawain's line of sight, covering the tower like some kind of stitched monster beyond the limits of human intelligence. Over Elrond, it is draped in a "cloak" made of starlight and flowing fire. Arms with swords, limbs of giant animals, chaotic flames, and flickering crystals emerge from the flesh and blood, and it covers the entire front like a curtain. In the sea area, countless fine structures like chains extended from its surface and connected to the earth of Tal Lund. One of the chains also spread out from the darkness and extended to Melita.
Melita was wearing this chain without knowing it, and flew forward with the joy of returning home.
Gao Wen suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
He blinked again, and the indescribable illusion had disappeared.
Clear and bright stars shine on Tal Lund. There is only a prosperous and ancient country under the quiet night. In the splendid lights, it is the hometown of survival in the age of giant dragons.
"We're here!" Melita said happily, "I'm going to slow down one last time!"
