Chapter 955: The Unknown Dragon Society

The dwellings of the dragons - in the words of the bards and playwrights of Loren, they are as follows:

Dragons build their lair in the heart of ancient craters or deep in eternal glaciers, drawing their strength from hot lava or cold ice, depending on the group. Sometimes dragons also live in castles or towers, but they rarely build such elaborate dwellings themselves, instead occupying the houses of humans or other weaker races, and many times—almost all the time—will Make a mess of these exquisite, comfortable castles rich in history, until some brave knight or lucky adventurer manages to overcome the dragons that occupy the castle, and this terrible loss and loss will not end. waste.

——Dorangon Jabandel, a famous playwright of the Ansu era, described it in his book "The Dragon and the Lair".

Gawain came to the edge of the "inner balcony", his upper body slightly protruded out of the guardrail, and he looked down at the scene in the dragon's nest—

He saw a vast rotunda, the hall was supported by exquisite ornate columns, some kind of alloy structure that human beings could not understand were put together in a strict way, forming the first layer of walls in the hall. On the outer edge of the hall, you can see the dormant mechanism, the small drones busy with maintenance equipment and scrubbing the walls, and a decorative lighting combination. And the light from the dome illuminates the center of the hall, where there is a silver-white circular platform, and the surface of the platform can see exquisite relief patterns.

He turned his head again and looked at the place where he was standing - this is an internal residence, it was built on the mountainside, part of its structure extended into the mountain, connected with the huge rotunda below, and passed through There are lifts and corridors inside the mountain to realize the traffic at all levels, while the other part of the structure is out of sight and can lead to the outside of the mountain. Sunlit skylight rooms, as well as beautiful viewing promenades, all windows are mechanically controlled to switch or filter light at will with a single command.

Melita refers to her "lair" as a "simple industrial decor"—a relatively low-cost type of decor that has become popular in Tallond in recent years, according to her.

"I don't know how the bards and playwrights in Loren Continent will feel when they see this scene," Gawain looked back from the direction of the dragon's nest, shaking his head and crying, "especially those who are keen to describe the story of the giant dragon. of……"

"Most of them don't have any impressions - because the best 'Dragon Quest' bards and playwrights in Loren land are from Tallond," Merita standing beside her raised her chest , said proudly, "We have contributed 80% of the best dragon-themed scripts in the human world for nearly a thousand years..."

Gawain glanced at the giant dragon with a helpless expression on his face: "So the rumors like 'the dragon lives in the crater' were originally created by you,

Usually, don't complain about human beings and make up your living habits. "

Melita thought about it, but it was easy to be persuaded: "Well, what you said makes sense..."

As she spoke, she turned around and walked towards the other end of the inner residence: "Don't stay here, you can only see the cave here, and the balcony at the other end has a better view than here."

"Are all your dragon houses... in this form?" Gawain followed Melita's footsteps, and asked curiously as he walked, "I mean this kind of structure with a large lair and a small dwelling. ."

"Most of the time," Melita said, "we will have a 'Dragon's Nest' large enough to house our own dragon itself, and build an exquisite 'Little House' inside or beside the Dragon's Nest. The Dragon's Nest can be For extended sleep or to adjust and recuperate in dragon form, small dwellings are a good choice for enjoying life in human form. Of course...not all dragons are like that."

"Oh?" Gawain raised his eyebrows, "Are there any exceptions?"

"There are some less particular dragons who will just prepare a 'Dragon's Nest' for themselves, and live in the dragon's nest. Anyway, our human form is very small compared to the body, and only needs to occupy a very small space, so in the dragon's nest Anything in the nest is enough to meet the needs," Melita explained quite earnestly, "Noretta is like this - she doesn't have a 'human-shaped living room', but dug a super giant in the mountains~~ The cave is much bigger than mine."

As they spoke, they had passed through the living room and hallway of the inner residence, and the interior lighting controlled by Omega was constantly fine-tuned as the visitor moved, so that the most comfortable brightness was always maintained in the place in sight.

Hearing Melita's words, Gawain's eyes widened - each of these customs and customs of Tallond was so new and interesting to him, even how these giant dragons usually sleep was in his eyes. As if it had become a science, he couldn't help but ask, "Then doesn't Noretta usually rest in human form?"

Melita shrugged: "She built a large bed of more than 1,000 square meters in the center of her dragon's nest - it takes a long time to run from the center of the bed to the edge of the bed, but the advantage is that the dragon form and the human form are very comfortable to sleep in. ."

Gao Wen: "..."

Melita glanced at him curiously: "Why didn't you speak?"

Gao Wen spread out his hands in disbelief: "...I just suddenly felt...the living habits of your dragons are really 'free'."

At the same time, there was another sigh in his heart that he didn't say: Why does this kind of setting with a large bed of 1,000 square meters in the center of the bedroom sound so familiar...

But Melita didn't know what Gawain was thinking. She was just aroused by this topic, and after a moment of silence, she continued, "Of course, there is a third situation."

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react for a while: "The third situation?"

They passed through the inner residence and came to the balcony facing the outside of the mountain. The wide floor-to-ceiling viewing window has been adjusted to transparent mode. From this height and angle, the large urban buildings under the mountain can be clearly seen, and The bright lights of the giant factory complex in the distance.

Melita stood on the edge of the balcony, looking in the direction of the city: "Some dragons have only one dwelling where they can rest in human form, and they live in human form most of the time."

Gawain frowned, but before he could ask any questions, Veronica, who was nearby, spoke for him: "What about their 'ontology'? As far as I know, although you guys Can live in human form, but always need to release the body to eat or groom..."

"There is a special 'restaurant' for eating. If the implants in the body are out of order, you can go to the maintenance center or private repair shop. In addition, the dragon family does not need to maintain the dragon form for a long time. If you put it away, you can save space and save your physical strength.”

The more Gawain listened, the more strange he felt. At this time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of dragon would choose this way of life?"

"Poor dragons," Melita said, "or, as Omega judges, they don't have enough ability to play a role in the upper Tallond, so they can only live in ordinary citizens in the plains and the lower city."

Gawain was finally stunned: "You also have poor people in Tallond... poor dragons?"

"How could there not be?" Melita sighed, "We have not been able to build an average and infinitely wealthy society, so there must be upper and lower classes. It's just that poverty is relative, and it depends on the overall situation of the society. Look - see the most lit areas of the city? They live there, living a life of 'incomprehensible poverty' from a human point of view. The Senate will distribute housing to those citizens for free, and even provide For all the necessities of life, Omega will open almost all entertainment rights for them, and their monthly synergists are also rationed for free, and there are even some hallucinogens that are not allowed to be sold in the upper districts.

"They have everything, and Tallond society will provide for them all, and as a condition or price for all this, the lower class citizens can only accept this kind of support and have no other choice, and they engage in limited and essentially meaningless. Work, not meddling in the affairs of the upper Tallond, and many other... restrictions that are not easily understood in human society."

Gao Wen frowned, and Amber's voice suddenly came from the side: "It sounds like... I don't need a job, I have a house to live in, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I have plenty of entertainment. How can I feel good?"

Melita turned her head and looked at the half-elf lady with a tangled and thoughtful look on her face. A smile suddenly appeared on her face: "So, this is the 'poverty' that humans in the Loren continent cannot understand."

"I can understand," Gawain said suddenly, "it's no longer difficult to survive to your level. Tallonde society can easily support a huge 'unproductive population', and the cost of The cost is only a small fraction of your total social expenditure, but if you want these members of society to enter the workplace, get the same job and promotion opportunities as the rest of the tribe, there will be huge costs, because these 'low-capacity' Clan members will disrupt your current productive structures.

"So, instead of taking on this waste, it's better to directly support them - anyway, it's not expensive for you."

Amber listened to Gawain's interpretation with wide eyes, as if she couldn't understand the scene he was describing for a while. Veronica gave Gawain a thoughtful look, as if she had thought about this kind of thing before. Rita looked surprised and surprised. She looked up and down Gawain several times before frowning with an incredible expression: "You...you thought of this so quickly?"

"It's just an occasional inspiration," Gao Wen smiled, "You know, I'm good at social deduction."

"...This is beyond the scope of social deduction," Melita said strangely. "If it doesn't develop to a certain extent, it should be counter-common sense in the eyes of humans."

"I haven't done a few things that conform to common sense since my resurrection," Gawain said casually, and didn't let the topic continue, "Anyway... It seems that I have learned about Tallond's unknown again. A detail."

Melita was silent for a while, and after a few seconds she exhaled: "How is your rest? Are you interested in going out with me now?"

"Are we going to 'visit' from now on?" Gawain raised his eyebrows, "Or just take a walk with you?"

"There is no difference between a walk and a visit. There are so many things here for you to see," Melita said. "The time now corresponds to Cecil City. It should have just arrived at dusk. In fact, it is a good time to go out and hang out."

"I think it's fine." Gawain said immediately, and looked at Amber and Veronica.

"I don't mind either!" Amber jumped up immediately, "I'm tired!"

Veronica also nodded gently, expressing no opinion.

Melita smiled: "Very good, then I'll send a letter to Noretta, let's go see Tallond after dusk."

Gawain nodded, and then asked curiously, "Where are you going to take us to visit?"

"You are in the upper area of ​​Tal Lund for half a day today. You must have seen enough of the facilities such as the Council Headquarters and the Upper Temple," Melita said calmly, "Then I will take you there. Let's take a look at the middle and lower floors of Tal Lund. Let's go to the factory district and large corporate complexes, and then go to the lower city of the plains - if Noretta agrees, maybe we can go to the dark city. The Chancellor asked me to take you Visit every part of Tal Lund, but we can't visit the whole continent in a few days if we want, so go to a few representative places... Let you see the complete and real dragon country."

Afterwards, the three of Gawain and Melita came to a platform outside the dragon's nest. This wide platform built on the mountainside can be used for the dragon to take off and land. door".

They waited on the edge of the platform for a short time, and the sharp-eyed Amber suddenly saw a slender and elegant white dragon flying from the southwest sky and landed smoothly in the center of the platform.

"Hey! Noretta!!" Melita happily greeted her friend after she stopped, "You came very fast..."

Just halfway through her words, the white giant dragon that had just stopped suddenly stumbled, and the huge dragon claws moved two steps on the platform. Stepping on Melita's head while staring...

Strictly speaking, she stepped on the whole body of the agent.

If this is a human being, the legend below is definitely not dead or disabled.

But in the next second, Gawain heard Melita's scream coming from under the dragon's claws, still sounding full of energy: "Noretta! You did it on purpose this time!!"

"I didn't stand firm," said the white dragon in a rumbling voice, lowering its head. "You know, I'm not very comfortable with your landing pad."

"It's all excuses!" Melita continued to scream and emerged from the foot of the giant dragon in embarrassment. The elegance and stability she had maintained in front of Gawain for a long time finally disappeared, "I remember, Now you step on me one more time!"

The two friends seemed to be interacting very enthusiastically, but Gawain, Amber and Veronica were stunned as they watched from a short distance away.

After a long time, Gao Wen couldn't help scratching his hair.

This trip to Tallond was really worth it - he saw the unknown side of the dragons again.

Is this already the first "unknown side"?
