The highest speaker of the panel, Andal.
It is said that this old man is one of the oldest dragons in Tal Lond, a "prime dragon" that has been active since before the Anti-Tide Rebellion and has survived to this day.
Before he came to Tallond, Gawain had filled up a lot of knowledge about this country from Melita's mouth, and this knowledge naturally included a brief introduction of the top members of Tallond, so he gave The name "Andal" is not unfamiliar. And he also knows one thing - this "prime dragon" who looks like an old man rarely leaves the deep hall of the jury on weekdays, and even in the last thousand years, this old man has left the hall many times. Countless.
It seems that due to his extreme old age, he usually rests in his "throne" in the form of a dragon, but he took the initiative to greet him like this today, and even changed into a human form, which is enough to illustrate the speaker's attitude.
After realizing that this was a courtesy, Gawain immediately took out the corresponding solemnity: "It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Speaker. I have seen it on the way here - Tallond is a It's an incredible country and I'm sure this trip to Tallond will leave a very deep impression on me."
Speaker Andal smiled gently, and at the same time turned slightly sideways to make an invitation gesture. After Gawain stepped to keep up, the old man said with a smile: "We haven't officially invited an alien to come here for many, many years— —Except for the occasional 'wanderer' who came to this land by accident, the last official visitor in my memory was many millennia ago, when the ruler of Loren was still a kind of person with three pairs of limbs creatures..."
"Last season of civilization," Gawain looked at the speaker with a smile as well, "That seems to be a long time ago indeed."
"Yes, it's been a long time... We have been paying attention to the world outside Tal Lund, but we almost never bring people or things from the outside here," Speaker Andal nodded, "I hope you have arranged for us The welcome ceremony is quite satisfactory - on the basis of the customs of the dragon family, we have taken into account the habits of human beings as much as possible, but after all, we are very different, if there is anything that makes you uncomfortable and uncomfortable, you can bring it up."
"It's been very thoughtful," Gawain said immediately, "but now I'm more concerned about the next itinerary - from Melita, I didn't hear the detailed itinerary."
Speaker Andal led the guests away from the landing platform, and Melita, who had reincarnated in human form, followed closely. They crossed the long bridge connecting the platform and the main palace building, and walked towards the inner courtyard of the council headquarters. In this unusually vast and magnificent dragon palace, Gawain felt that his voice was echoing in the valley. stand up.
"Feel sorry,
It is indeed rude not to tell you the detailed itinerary, but this is because our gods have not issued a detailed will before," Speaker Andar walked beside Gawain, the old man's voice in the golden corridor full of ornate carvings It echoed, "God... He is unpredictable, and His arrangements often have deep meanings. On the other hand, when He delays making arrangements, He also has deep meanings. "
"So has he made arrangements now?" Gawain glanced at the speaker beside him. When talking about the god who ruled Tallond, although he didn't mean to offend, it was difficult for him to be like the dragons. Feeling awe and worship, so he chose to use this most common attitude to talk - after all, he is standing here today because of the invitation made by the god, "Frankly, the main purpose of my coming here is not It's not to visit the exotic, I'm here for an appointment, so I'm more concerned about when I can meet your...'Dragon God'."
"Of course," Andal nodded, "when you entered the sky over Agondore, the Sanctuary made a clear decision - after the welcome banquet, you can meet. We have sent Agondore to the sky. The Sanctuary of Er is ready to come out, and the high-level dragon priest Herragol will personally serve as the guide and escort for the meeting."
High-level dragon priest... The corresponding information obtained from Melita quickly appeared in Gawain's mind:
Heragor, the highest spokesperson of the "theocracy" part of Tal Lund society, is a powerful angel who serves the gods all the year round, and is also a person who has survived from ancient times to the present like Speaker Andar. "Ancient Dragon", but it is said that the envoy received blessings from the gods and has "a more perfect eternal life than the Supreme Chancellor", so he always maintains a younger appearance.
No dragon knows the true age of Heragor, and no one knows when Heragor became an envoy serving the gods. According to Melita's description, in the memory of almost all dragons, that Heragor was You have been a saint standing beside the gods from the very beginning.
Gawain restrained his memories and said with a slight smile: "Then I am looking forward to this meeting - and before that, I am also looking forward to how Tallond will have different cuisines from the human world."
...
The top of the temple, the place where the gods live, the holy breath has come here.
"My lord," Heragor immediately bowed respectfully to the figure that appeared in front of the Holy See, "you are back."
"Well," the blond figure standing in front of the Holy See briefly responded with a syllable, and then cast a downward gaze, "Hragol, have they all arrived?"
Heragor lowered his head, although he was curious about where the goddess he served in the past short time suddenly left, but he carefully controlled his curiosity and desire to explore: "Yes Yes, they have arrived as scheduled. According to your instructions, I conveyed the order to the jury, and an audience will be arranged after the welcome banquet over there."
"It's not an audience, it's a meeting, Herragol," the voice from the Holy See immediately corrected, "That's the guest I invited."
"...As you said."
The Dragon God nodded, and then asked casually: "Tell me what you know-how did the guests react after seeing the real Tallond?"
"Surprise, surprise, astonishment—there is no doubt that everything in Tallond is enough to shock the outsiders," said Herragol, "but...their reactions were indeed more than that.
"The reaction of those two human women is quite normal. They showed the consternation that ordinary people should be at the advancement and prosperity of Tal Lund, and they also showed normal curiosity about things that they have never seen in the outside world. The human emperor who was invited, the male human named Gawain Cecil... There seemed to be something strange in his reaction."
"Strange?" Dragon God raised his eyebrows, "Hragol, you rarely use such ambiguous words."
"It's really weird, my lord," Heragor pondered his vocabulary and said the details of the "abnormal" he discovered after secret observation, "Although that human being also expressed surprise after seeing Tallond, he The degree of surprise is far lower than I expected, and when he sees those unusual things, his performance is also more thoughtful than stunned - yes, thinking, he seems to be thinking all the time, and often shows imperceptible Confused. This gives me a feeling... Tallond doesn't seem to have given that shock to the human being, he was not surprised by what he saw, as if he had seen similar sights before. , and his surprise... just because he didn't expect these things to be here."
Having said this, Heragor thought for a while before saying hesitantly: "This gives me a feeling that the human seems to have been watching and watching with an indifferent - even a little arrogant attitude. Judging us, this is clearly abnormal, my lord."
The voice in front of the Holy See was silent for a few seconds, and then Heragor heard the voice of the gods unhurriedly: "...It seems very interesting."
"My lord," Heragor raised his head with a hint of curiosity, "Why did you let me focus on these things? What reaction did the human king show after seeing Tallond... Is this important? ?"
"It's just a little curious," the god seemed to be in a good mood, and his tone seemed to bring a smile, "Have you not thought about it, Hragor? That human... He has done a lot of things in his mortal kingdom. , the dragon who went out to travel brought back a lot of interesting information, about the system, about knowledge, about the way of thinking. On the surface, that human being is just unifying and silently promoting all these changes, but his actions have gone beyond The knowledge and way of thinking that he should have... It couldn't have arisen naturally in the environment in which he lived, at least not in his generation. Don't you think that's interesting, Horagol?"
Herragol felt his breathing quicken, but he didn't say anything.
He only heard the voice of the gods continuing unhurriedly:
"Gawain Cecil... the 'resurrected' mortal hero, he looks like an ordinary human on the surface, but unfortunately... it's not enough.
"Hragol, go get ready, the banquet in the lower hall won't last long - just as I want to see him, I believe he wants to see me now."
...
"I hope you are satisfied with our food and music," Melita said with a smile when she came to Gawain, "To be honest, these two things are probably the worst things the dragons are good at—at least in my opinion. Yes. We're better at dealing with stone and metal, the arts of sculpture and blacksmithing, and as for food... Tarlund's food is boring."
"But in my opinion, all of these are great." Gawain complimented, and at the same time his eyes swept across the splendid hall and the banquet table-he should be the only one in Tallond in this season of civilization. The human emperor eating, this banquet naturally also reflects the sincerity of the dragon family's hospitality, but to be honest, the dragon family's food is not as colorful as he imagined. The staple food at the banquet is basically all kinds of meat. The side dishes are mainly fish, grains and vegetables are only garnish, not even food. From this, you can see the usual eating habits of the dragon clan, but as Melita said... a little boring.
But for a newcomer like Gawain, some unique flavors among these foods can make up for the lack of blandness.
"To be honest... I've been troubled by strange problems before," he said suddenly, "it's about your diet - your dragon body is so different from your human body, so when you eat, what is it? The size of the dragon is the standard or the size of the human is the standard? This question may be a bit rude, but... these foods should not be enough for a dragon with a body length of several tens of meters."
"...As expected of you, you can always pay attention to details that ordinary people don't even think about," Melita was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing, "But you're really right— - These foods are not enough for dragons.
"Of course we have to consume energy according to the dragon's standard, but in the form of a dragon, we don't have to be so particular about food - the sense of taste and oral perception of the dragon form is very weak, and we can't even eat in that form. The difference between raw and cooked meat, so we don't entertain or dine with guests in dragon form, especially if the guests are small...you know, it's not only rough, but also tall risks, such as... accidental injury.
"And in human form, we can handle and enjoy more refined food, as you can see - we choose to serve our guests in human form, not only because human form looks more 'more' to most intelligent races. Friendly', but also because this form is more conducive to our enjoyment of food."
Gao Wen was just asking this casually out of interest, but he didn't expect to hear such interesting details. After listening to Melita's explanation, he couldn't help but muttered: "So the dragon eats in two meals— - One to taste, one to fill?"
"Most of the less-fussy dragons actually only have a second meal—especially when convenience foods are so popular, almost all young dragons don't have the patience to study cooking or eat those troublesome natural foods," Mei Li said. Ta shook her head, even though she was a young dragon herself, she sighed like an old dragon at this time, "Of course, these dragons in the banquet hall are 'fine' dragons, so we will go back after eating with you. One more meal to eat..."
Gao Wen: "..."
"I feel like the useless knowledge has increased!" Amber, who happened to be strolling over, grabbed the chicken thigh in his hand and sighed casually, just in time to break Gawain's heart.
The banquet had lasted to the end, and at this moment, Gawain noticed that someone like an attendant entered from the side door of the hall, walked quickly to the side of Speaker Andal, and said something in a low voice.
"It looks like 'this one' is about to end," Gawain turned his head and said to Melita, "I guess someone will invite me to an appointment soon."
Melita looked curiously in the direction of the Speaker, and almost at the same time, the old man turned and walked towards him.
"I hope our hospitality is considered considerate for you all," Speaker Andar said as he came to Gawain, "Our god just sent news, if it's convenient for you now... He hopes to meet you in the upper temple. Meet."
Gawain glanced back, then turned to look at the Speaker: "Including the two friends I brought?"
Speaker Andal nodded: "Yes, including them."
"No problem, we're very convenient now." Gawain laughed immediately, and Amber, who was nibbling on the drumstick next to him, glanced at the beloved drumstick in her hand when she heard this - she seemed to want to say that she was not so It was convenient, but under Gao Wen's faint gaze, she immediately put down the drumstick in her hand: "Convenient, convenient, very convenient..."
As for Veronica, who was on standby not far away... She was obviously already prepared.
"That's good," Speaker Andal nodded, "then please come with me - Lord Herragol has been waiting outside the hall, and he will take you to the upper temple."
Following the Speaker, Gawain, Amber, Veronica and the others quickly passed through the banquet hall. After passing through a huge golden gate like a city gate, the music in the hall was faint. Going down, Gawain saw at a glance a man wearing a pale golden robe and a golden crown standing in the wide and quiet corridor.
No followers or guards could be seen around the man.
That is the highest spokesperson for the "theocracy" part of Tal Londe society, High Dragon Priest Heragol?
At the same time when this sentence came out of Gawain's heart, the man with his back turned to him also sensed the change in breath, he immediately turned around and nodded slightly: "Guests, I'm here to escort you to the upper temple. —You can call me by my name, Herragol."
Gawain nodded just as he was about to respond, but his eyes froze in the next moment.
His gaze fell on Herragol's face, and he didn't move for a long time.
He remembered the face.
In the center of the eternal storm, in the center of the still space-time, he has seen this face!
This is the dragon who stands on the tower of steel, like a commander in the center of the battlefield, and guards the dragons to face "them" together!
