Sword of Dawn

"Don't you feel sorry?" Mirmina couldn't help asking, "That empress is the highest priestess in name, and now even she uses this sacred sacrificial place for secular purposes, and even made such modifications , which means that they are truly forgetting you, and even consciously erasing traces of your existence."

Amorn asked the other party: "Did you feel regretful when you learned that humans held a funeral for you?"

Miermina was slightly taken aback, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness on her misty-covered face: "...It's true, this is more or less a good thing."

Her gaze returned to the "Magic Network Live Broadcast" not far away. The representatives of various forces of mortals had arrived at their positions under the guidance of the staff at the venue, and the focus of the screen was on the Silver Queen. Ermina looked at those figures, her eyes fell on one of the excited girls, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

This subtle change of Mirmina failed to escape Amon's perception, and the former God of Nature asked casually, "What's wrong? You also saw something you were interested in?"

"It's just a little sigh," Mirmina said with a smile, "That child... should have been a natural choice."

"Really? So the goddess of magic is also chosen by God?"

"All the gods have chosen people, and there is always a certain individual's spiritual frequency among the thousands of living beings that will be related to us, just as there are always some water droplets in the endless sea that will hit the shore with the wind - but this has nothing to do with the will of the sea "Mier Mina said lightly, "It's just that I never take the initiative to respond to these resonances, and fortunately... even in the most difficult and frightening times, this child never called my name."

Amorn didn't make a sound, just watched silently that the elf queen who was nominally the highest priestess of druids in the picture began to preside over the meeting, and Mirmina next to him also fell silent, silently watching the mortals in the distance Busy and busy, it didn't take long before a sigh came from the dark and chaotic Shadow Garden: "They really don't need me anymore."

"Yeah, I don't need it anymore."

"Can you turn up the volume?"

"No, I find it noisy."

……

The magnificent oath stone ring descended out of thin air. This simple, solemn and indescribably solemn meeting place obviously shocked everyone. At this moment, no one will question the meeting in the wilderness anymore. Whether it is not decent enough, and it will not question the degree of dedication of the elves as witnesses and conference organizers in this matter-this is exactly the effect Gawain wanted.

On the edge of the ancient wasteland of Gondor, at the end of the civilized world, the circular arrangement of Stonepillars stands proudly. In this solemn meeting place, representatives of the mortal kingdoms discuss the future of this world—no matter what the outcome of this meeting is. , and no matter how the future develops, the scene here today is destined to be recorded in history.

Rebecca seemed very excited. After the oath stone ring came, she was so excited that she couldn't calm down at all. After finally waiting for the important part to end and a chance to intervene without getting in the way, she immediately moved to the side of the Silver Queen, whispering quickly Asked: "Your Majesty Belsetia, what is the principle of this spell? Is it summoning or plasticizing? If it is summoning, how does it communicate with different spaces? If it is summoning, how does it set the mana focus? ..."

Belsetia looked at this curious girl with some helplessness and affection. She seemed to see her own appearance in the other person. Before the people around her noticed, she lowered her head and winked at Rebecca. : "I can't tell you this, this is the secret inheritance of the elves—but I can tell you part of the rune structure that doesn't involve the core spell model."

Rebecca suddenly became excited: "Yeah!!"

"It's alright, don't continue to make trouble," Gao Wen looked at the venue and reminded the girl, "Wait a minute, don't speak casually."

Rebecca immediately succumbed to the majesty of her ancestor and nodded repeatedly, but the next second she raised her head and looked around with a strange expression, as if she felt a certain kind of sight. Gawain couldn't help asking: " What's wrong?"

"I don't know," Rebecca frowned, "I suddenly felt as if someone was looking at me just now, but I couldn't feel it in the blink of an eye... Maybe it's an illusion."

Gao Wen immediately spread his perception, and checked the inside and outside of the venue several times within the maximum range, then exhaled lightly, shook his head and said in a low voice: "You may be too excited."

This is just an insignificant episode. During the speech, the representatives of all parties have already arrived at their respective positions.The curtains depicting the emblems of power hang from the top of the huge stone pillars to the back of their seats, and the unique circular venue further highlights the solemnity of the atmosphere. Affected by the atmosphere, he became serious, and even developed a strange, unfounded sense of honor.

In such an atmosphere, the Hand of the Silver Queen, a highly respected courtier of the Elf Empire, Valentian Jingu stood up. After a brief self-introduction, he began to read the names of the representatives of all parties in the venue and their names one by one. The country represented, used this as the opening of the first alliance meeting-the high-level elf's magnetic majesty and strange rhythmic voice seemed to be reciting magically, it sounded throughout the venue, and the participants Representatives of some small countries in the meeting immediately listened to these names subconsciously, trying to infer a certain "order" from the order of these names, but they quickly fell into a daze.

Because apart from Cecil as the first sponsor, Typhon as the co-sponsor, and Silver Empire as the organizer and witness of the meeting, the rest of the names are actually arranged alphabetically...

This is the first meeting, and Gao Wen didn't plan to sort them in terms of national level and regional influence.

Under the flag symbolizing the Ogulei Tribal State, the orc leader Camilla sat beside Wenna Baizhi. She looked up at the whole venue and muttered softly: "It seems a bit interesting, compared to the lifeless meeting Hall, I really like this kind of environment full of wildness and natural majesty-these elves understand it very well, I thought they would only swing in the forest..."

Wenna ignored her friend's muttering, she was actually a little nervous - both Camilla and she were representatives of the Ogure Tribal State, but on the conference roster, she was the main representative of the Tribal State, and Camilla's identity was not It's an "assistant", but her friend has been controlled by curiosity since early this morning, just like any cat, most of her attention has been on those fluttering curtains, large and small The small boulder and the spring in the center of the venue made Wenna feel pessimistic about the pressure she would bear in the next meeting...

She even felt that she should follow Wycliffe's advice when she set off and bring out Stella, who was full of ghosts. Although the fairy queen is not very reliable, it is better than a big cat that has begun to lose its chain.

While thinking wildly like this, she suddenly heard a friend's voice from the side: "Hey, wait, look - is there an empty seat over there?"

Wen Na was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised her head to look in the direction of Camilla's finger, and she saw an empty seat under a huge stone pillar on the opposite side of the venue, and above that strange seat was an equally strange emblem.

It was a completely unfamiliar banner, the main element of which was a majestic abstract pattern reminiscent of a dragon's head. It had golden patterns and was depicted on a crimson mantle—as the leader of the gray elves, Wenna knows the flag of any country in the world, but she has never seen this pattern.

Camilla murmured in a low voice: "This color... is it the flag of the Holy Dragon Principality?"

"No, the seat of the Principality of the Holy Dragon is next to it, and there are already people there," Wenna whispered calmly, "Did you see that? That's Sir Golosh Schickel, we read about it in the newspaper News about his visit to Cecil."

"...That seems to be a country that neither you nor I know," Camilla blinked in confusion, "absent?"

"No, since their flag has been hung on the Stone Column, their representative must have come to stronghold 112," Wenna said in a low voice, "Silver elves won't make such low-level mistakes... "

When Wenna and Camilla were discussing the vacant seat and the unfamiliar flag, more and more representatives at the venue noticed this.

Lines of sight fell on the stone pillar one after another. Although the representatives did not have a large-scale discussion among each other, some of the representatives and assistants couldn't help whispering softly. More and more People looked at the flag with red background and gold pattern curiously, guessing the origin of this absent party, and all kinds of strange conjectures developed in their minds.

Some of them seemed to see some key points. They saw that the vacant seat was located next to the Cecil Empire, and on the other side was the position of the Holy Dragon Principality, but even so, they did not see any more Clue.

During this process, the names and country names were reported one by one, and the representatives stood up one after another to pay tribute, and the voice of Valentian Jingu also came to an end - with the last representative of a small country from the west of the mainland standing up to pay tribute, All participating countries have completed their appearance at the Ring of Oath.

And that absent position...is still absent.

Valentian Jingu's eyes swept across the entire venue, and he saw many expected curious sights, although many of them were well hidden, but for the high-ranking silver elves who had lived for 2000 years, this was still a problem. can be easily distinguished.

His expression didn't change at all, he just waited quietly for a few seconds, and after receiving the signal from the Silver Queen, he stood up straighter, pressed his right hand on the chest and abdomen of the dress coat, and naturally lowered his left hand, He said in a calm and clear voice: "There is another seat: Tarrond Continent, Dragon Kingdom, ambassador—the blue dragon Melita Pernia and her mission."

The whole venue was extremely quiet in an instant.

Valentian's voice had fallen, but all the representatives seemed to have not reacted yet. They looked at each other, doubting their hearing and comprehension abilities. Some felt absurd, as if they had just heard someone tell the legend The story got this solemn and solemn place, but soon everyone's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden coercion in the distance and the sound of wings flapping like a wind and thunder——

On the south side of the Stone Ring of Oath, in the sky above the lofty mountains, a huge figure pierced through the clouds, wrapped in the glow of a huge sun, and seemed to be flying slowly towards the venue, led by a blue The giant dragon, her scales are vicissitudes and mottled, as if it has been tempered thousands of times in iron and fire, and six other giant dragons lined up behind this blue dragon. They are also bathed in the sun, and they also have a shocking aura.

"dragon!"

Someone in the venue couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice, and there was a slight commotion among the representatives of all parties and the assistants they brought. No one really panicked—although some were pale, some were already sweating, and some even began to tremble, but none of them left their seats.

It doesn't matter whether it's trying to calm down or being decent, at least this kind of reaction is reflected in the eyes of Gawain and Belsetia, making them nod slightly.

Not on par with the pioneers of 700 years ago - but at least not bad.

Many eyes stared at the group of dragons that were approaching the venue, while others finally came to their senses. These eyes quickly focused on the seat of the Cecil Empire, on the original initiator of this meeting.

Every party in this conference... was invited by Cecil.

Those dragons were also invited by Cecil.

Chapter 1090 Show

The giant dragon descended from the sky, and its wings swept across the sky like a banner covering the sky and the sun.

This is a creature in legends. Since the history of mortal countries has been recorded, the topic of giant dragons has always been an important part of various legends and even myths, and they are not just legends—all kinds of indistinguishable authenticity The sighting reports and the unexplained "dragon traces" left around the world seem to indicate that these powerful creatures actually exist in the world, and they have been wandering around the edge of the known world, paying attention to the progress of this world with some purpose. develop.

Therefore, from the highly respected mystic masters to the bards playing and singing on the street, from analyzing the absurd stories spread by the folks, to studying the ancient scrolls recorded by the royal family day and night, all kinds of people are studying it with their own perspectives and methods. Looking at the secrets behind these sky masters, they tried to find tangible evidence of the existence of dragons, and even tried to communicate with these powerful and mysterious creatures for their own purposes-but these efforts ultimately failed.

The fact is that since the history of civilization, no force has ever actually touched these dragons, and no one has even publicly proved the existence of dragons.

To this day, the dragon really came.

And it's just for a meeting...

The situation is so bizarre that it even surpassed the imagination of the bards who specially made up the story of the dragon. I am afraid that even the most outrageous playwrights would not dare to put such a script on the stage, but all this is in front of everyone. It happened under the hood, and the impact it brought was so great that the representatives at the scene didn't know whether to exclaim or applaud for a while, whether this scene was shocking or absurd—and just at the In this state of bewilderment, they missed the opportunity to stand up and applaud, and the group of dragons that descended from the sky had already landed on the open ground outside the oath stone ring.

In the interlaced light curtains of virtual and real, the giant dragons turned into human shapes one after another, and walked to the empty seat under the stone pillar in front of the stunned delegates. The scene was so quiet that the first applause When it sounded, the sound seemed particularly abrupt inside the stone ring, but after all, people gradually came to their senses, and there was a sound of applause and welcome in the venue.

Wenna Baizhi woke up from the astonishment. She first glanced at the giant dragons that had turned into human forms, and then looked at the representatives of various countries around her. After thinking for a while, she said softly to her friends beside her: "It seems that many people's plans have been disrupted... Now, apart from the three major empires, there is no initiative."

"Look at the situation..." Camilla finally recovered from her astonishment. The orc leader shook his head, "It turned out to be a dragon... The situation has changed so much that I can't even understand it."

Wen Na nodded slightly, and then she felt magical fluctuations rising from around the stone pillars in all directions - a layer of almost transparent energy shield formed between the stone pillars, and quickly closed over the venue, the wind from the wilderness Blocked by the shield, warm and comfortable air flows smoothly inside the stone ring.

Everyone quickly understood that with the arrival of the last representative, the next process had already begun. No matter how much they were curious about the dragons that suddenly came to the venue, this matter had to be put aside for the time being.

After a while, Gawain's voice really sounded in the venue, and with the help of the magic effect surrounding the entire stone ring, his voice was clearly and powerfully transmitted to every corner: "Welcome the most distant guests in our venue to come here ——I also welcome every friend who is sitting here at this moment. Now that the staff is complete, our meeting officially begins.”

The applause rang out, and then subsided quickly, followed by a short and not very nutritious opening speech - as the first initiator of this meeting, Gao Wen introduced the background of this meeting, the participants of the meeting in simple sentences. The current situation and the main topics of this meeting, and the contents of these stylized introductions have long been known to everyone on site, and now they are just going through the motions.

When this indispensable cutscene was over, Gawain stopped suddenly, his eyes swept across the audience, and everyone's attention quickly focused. It was not until a few seconds later that Gawain broke the silence again: "I think Everyone has noticed one thing, that is, our venue this time is a bit special, we are not in a safe and comfortable urban area, but in this desolate wilderness, maybe some people will feel uncomfortable because of this, maybe someone has already guessed this The purpose of the arrangement, I will not continue to play charades here.

"It was my decision to arrange the venue in the wilderness. The purpose is actually very simple: I just want you to take a good look at this place."

After his words fell, a low humming sound suddenly sounded from around the venue, and then, in the astonished eyes of all the representatives, bright light suddenly appeared on the surface of those towering ancient stone pillars, and light curtains came from one after another. The tops of those stone pillars slanted to shine down, and in the interlacing of light and shadow, large-area holographic projections lit up one after another, filling the space between each stone pillar around the oath stone ring in the blink of an eye—the entire conference hall was instantly covered. Surrounded by magic phantoms, only the sky directly above still maintains the appearance of the real world, and on those holographic projections, there are devastated images that make everyone feel depressed.

The rotten and mutated twisted jungle, the dark and hardened corrupted land, the dirty clouds that entangled the sky, the howling radioactive storm, the deformed giants wandering in the distance, and some vaguely visible buildings that used to be, but now there are only Ruins of jagged skeletons...

Many people stood up and looked around in astonishment, some forced themselves to sit in place calmly, but couldn't help frowning when they looked at the images, and more people quickly calmed down, and they looked thoughtful , until Gao Wen’s voice sounded again in the venue: “For representatives from the four kingdoms and other areas around the wasteland, these scenes may not be too unfamiliar, but for those who live on the outer edge of the continent , these things may be more like some kind of nightmare scenario woven by illusionists, they look like hell-but unfortunately, this is the world we live in, and it is the stuff around us."

A part of the holographic projection on the edge of the conference hall faded away, and what appeared at the end of the wide field of vision between the stone pillars was the magnificent wall in the direction of the wasteland of Gondor.

"These pictures are from real shots, collected by Cecil, Typhon, and the border sentinels of the Silver Empire at great risk. Some of them are the distant views of the wasteland of Gondor, and some are from the foot of the magnificent wall. Your Majesty, from an area that theoretically belongs to the 'safe zone', but has actually been severely corrupted over the past few centuries. Gentlemen, before formally discussing the benefits of joining the alliance, before considering how to distribute the benefits, before arguing that we Before the seats, markets, traditions, and contradictions, we need to look at these things first, and understand what kind of world we live in. Judge correctly.

"The Great Wall, led by the Silver Empire hundreds of years ago, was jointly established by the continental countries. It has stood for seven centuries, and many of us may have forgotten this wall over the years. We have forgotten how much we paid for the construction of this wall. Many of us live in safe areas far from the wasteland. If it were not for this conference, these people might not have lived Come here - but the wasteland will not disappear because of forgetting, those things that threaten the survival of all mortals are part of the natural law of this world, it will always exist, and wait for us to relax our vigilance.

"What's even worse is that what threatens our survival in this world is far more than just a wasteland of Gondor, or even another wave of demons."

As Gao Wen's voice fell, the holographic projections surrounding the stone ring changed, and there were no longer only the scenes in the wasteland on it—people saw the inland gunboats fighting on the Gorgon River, and saw the ravages on the river bank. The army of crystal clusters, saw the ruined cities and villages between the plains and river valleys, and saw the Typhon and Cecil armies confronting each other in the snow... These pictures are impressively shocking and unreserved. Many of them can even make the viewer feel sincere fear. The reason why their impact is so strong is simple: they are all real shots.

This is the "material" that Gao Wen has been accumulating for a long time, and it is a valuable first-hand information in a series of disasters. He deliberately did not process these images, because he knew that the representatives who came here ...requires a little sensory "stimulation".

In the end, these ever-changing holograms all stay in the same scene.

That was the most shocking aerial scene on the front line of Winterhold: thick smoke billowed on the scorched plain, flames and lava spread wantonly, the destroyed human defense lines burned layer by layer, twisted steel wreckage and human remains piled up Intertwined together, the ferocious and bloody giant is climbing the mountain at the end of the battlefield, and blood and fire are all over the giant's feet.

This is the moment when the God of War is out of control before the Cold Winter enters the battlefield. There is no doubt that the impact it has brought has surpassed all the previous pictures. Even if the God of War has fallen, its accompanying divine influence will no longer exist. However That image of mad divinity, humanity, death and survival still suffocates many.

Wenna felt her heart pounding. The gray elf leader felt tremendous pressure in front of these pictures. At the same time, she heard a low voice from beside her. Looking around, she saw Camilla not knowing why. She had already stood up at that time, and the brave orc queen was staring at the scene in the holographic projection, her vertical pupils were full of vigilance, her back was arched, and her tail was raised high behind her like an iron rod.

This is the orc's vigilance instinct stimulating the fighting factor in her blood.

But fortunately, those images didn’t last forever——after Gawain’s voice sounded again, the holographic projections around the oath stone ring dimmed and disappeared one by one, and the original desolate wilderness reappeared in the eyes of the representatives. In the field of vision, many people were visibly relieved.

Camilla sat down slowly, with a gurgling sound in her throat, and then muttered in a low voice: "For the first time, I discovered that... this bare wilderness looks quite cute."

"Are you okay?" Wen Na couldn't help but asked with concern, "You were completely blown up just now."

"I'm okay……"

Gao Wen was very satisfied with the effect of these video data.

Thanks to the structure of the circular conference hall, he could see the reactions of everyone on the scene. Many representatives were actually worthy of their status. Many people's reactions are actually still calm, and they are still thinking about something seriously, but even the calmest people can't help but look dignified after seeing those things-this is enough.

Gao Wen was not here to intimidate anyone, nor was he creating an atmosphere of fear. He only hoped that these people could face the facts squarely and focus their attention together.

"This is what I want everyone to see-sorry, they are not beautiful images, nor are they beautiful propaganda for the future of the league, these are some bloody facts," Gao Wen said slowly, "And this is also I am calling this meeting on the greatest premise.

"Before discussing interests, we first gathered here to survive in this dangerous world, to avoid similar disasters from destroying our civilization, and to make this world safer. Perhaps many of us were here before today. None of us realize how close we are to the wasteland, how close we are to destructive wars, supernatural threats out of control, but after today, we must face up to this fact:

"Our world is not safe.

"So in order to survive in this unsafe world, so that our children and grandchildren can survive in this world for a long time, is it necessary for us to form a mutual watch alliance now? Let us resist natural disasters and get through together crisis, and at the same time reduce disputes between countries and reduce self-consumption among mortals—should we establish such an organization? Even if everything will not develop in the most ideal direction, should we work hard in this ideal direction? ?”

There was a bit of commotion among the representatives in the conference hall, some exchanged glances with each other, many thought it was time to vote, and some of them were thinking about whether to raise a little "doubt" before that, I tried to get as many opportunities to speak as possible, but Gao Wen's words sounded immediately: "Everyone, wait a moment, it has not yet reached the voting stage. Before formally finalizing the decision on the establishment of the alliance, we first invite the people from Tarrond Miss Melita Purnia, Ambassador of the United Nations - she brings us some news beyond the bounds of our present civilisation."

The dragon wants to speak?

The delegates got up in an instant, and a large number of curious eyes immediately focused on the red flag with golden patterns. Under the gaze of these eyes, Melita stood up with a serious expression. She looked around the audience calmly, and then said: In a low and solemn voice, "We killed our gods—all gods."

This explosive speech instantly made the representatives on the scene more energetic than before...

Chapter 1091 From Tarrond

In the comfortable and pleasant hatching room, where runes shimmered and the temperature was pleasant, the pale golden dragon egg suddenly shook slightly, and the newspaper floating in front of the dragon egg also made a soft rattling sound.

Betty, who was wiping the eggshells with a soft cloth, immediately noticed the movement. She raised her head with concern: "Ms. Enya? Did I hurt you?"

"Ah... no," a gentle voice came from the golden dome, "I just suddenly feel a little... want to shake."

Betty tilted her head slightly in confusion: "Want to shake? Is it because of the cold?"

"No, it's warm in the room, but I just want to... shake," Enya's tone seemed a little confused, "It's so weird, I've never felt this way... This is also after the separation of humanity and divinity Is it one of the changes..."

"I don't understand," Betty said honestly, and then she glanced at Enya, who was reading the newspaper, with a smile on her face, "Ms. Enya, would you like some more black tea? The tea is still hot."

"Ah, of course, thank you, little Betty." Enya said immediately, with an obvious smile in her tone.

Betty happily ran to the small table with tea—this table was specially ordered to be moved in by her these two days, it was specially used for tea and the newspaper of the day—she picked up the big beloved teapot , and then came to the side of the golden giant egg, carefully poured the tea onto the eggshell, accompanied by the slight sound of splashing water, a burst of refreshing aroma drifted out with the rising heat, and the whole room was filled with The fragrance of top-grade black tea.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Betty feels that Ms. Enya's egg shells have been completely stained with such a fragrance in the past few days. It's not a bad thing if you don't care about it, right?

Some wonderful thoughts were spinning in the head of the little maid, while Enya at the side let out a sigh of satisfaction: "Thank you... Thank you so much all the time, little girl."

"That's what I should do," said Betty quickly. "Would you like some more?"

"No need for now," Enya replied softly, and then asked curiously, "Has your master not come back yet?"

"Hmm...Master and the others seem to be coming back in a few days," Betty scratched her hair and said while recalling what she heard from others, "It is said that the meeting will last for many days, and after the meeting there will be a bunch of small Yeah... I don't know why it took so long, but I hear people say that's the way the big guys deal."

"...Ordinary people have changeable minds and different wishes. It has always been difficult for them to reach a consensus, but as long as they do it, it is a good thing. It is better to spend time and energy than to stand still for thousands of years," Enya said softly As he said that, the newspaper floating in mid-air slowly turned another page, "Tell me about this thing called magic network communication. I'm suddenly curious about the neural network mentioned in it..."

……

The dragons killed their gods—all gods.

Melita Purnia stood under the banner that symbolized Tarrond. This blue dragon, who had experienced the battle of killing gods and was traumatized, opened her hands, and under her mobilization, the powerful magic power quickly made contact with the oath stone. The magical environment of the ring itself resonates, accompanied by the light curtain falling from the sky and the "Zizi" sound caused by the turbulent flow of magic power, above the majestic and solemn oath stone ring, the scene is larger and more heart-palpiating than all previous holographic images The magic illusion suddenly unfolded.

The giant dragon not only has a strong body, but also a master of magic skills, and the blue dragon is especially good at illusion spells-under the control of Melita, the scene that appeared in the sky shocked everyone who came to the scene, Even Gao Wen, who already knew what was going to happen next, couldn't help but feel suffocated. He looked up at the sky, and saw a distorted horizon appearing in the magical illusion covering the entire sky. A storm of flames and thunder ravaged the sky, and he saw thousands of dragons and indistinguishable fighting machines galloping in the sky, fighting to the death with a hybrid "creature" that covered the sky and was more terrifying than the mad god of war...
