Sword of Dawn

The hatching room inevitably fell into silence again. Gao Wen sat in the armchair with a serious expression and fell into long-term thinking. The subtle hum of the ventilation system seemed to come from far away, and the cool wind dissipated The heat of this summer afternoon could not dispel the pressure and shadow from the truth of the world. This kind of thinking lasted for an unknown period of time. He heard Enya's voice from the side:

"It is precisely because the natural laws of the world have been so cruel from the very beginning, seeking refuge from the gods has become a path that all mortals have to choose in the end... However, even the protection of the gods is only a part of these cruel rules. ——This is the weakness of the creatures in the world in the face of the mighty power of nature. They can only choose to face the bleak future, or a bottle of poison that is intoxicating.

"I have witnessed many glorious civilizations, they have also worked hard on the road to seek the truth, or bravely faced their gods, and many of their great individuals have made wise decisions, allowing the entire ethnic group to prosper to Can touch the sky, even come to knock on the gate of Tarrond, and those who are the most outstanding, finally know the truth.

"Unfortunately, I saw them trembling in the face of the truth, some of them bowed their heads, returned to the embrace of the gods, clipped their wings, and hoped to live on this planet for a long time... No race No one dared to knock on the gate of the universe at the risk of losing their asylum."

Gawain stared at the runes floating on Enya's eggshell: "We are the ones who dominate the Loren continent today, and those civilizations that have been brilliant in history have hardly left any traces. Facts have proved that their hopes are not enough. Unfulfilled - the Gods system is an ever-expanding time bomb that eventually consumes them like a demonic tidal wave."

"But at least they lived longer than other races." Enya said lightly.

"But the dragons of Tarrond were unwilling to accept this kind of 'tranquility'. They chose the most difficult path," Gao Wen said, "They took the initiative to break the protection you provided, and chose to believe in the power of mortals themselves Wisdom and intelligence can fight against this cold universe—it may be a fact that the creatures in the world are weak, but now there is a race that dares to stand up."

Enya was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a chuckle: "After witnessing the starship of the voyager piercing the sky, the light of the jump engine lighting up the night, and witnessing the huge expedition fleet sailing into the universe, the immigrant mothership After casting shadows covering half of the continent, who would want to live forever on a speck of dust in the universe with their heads down? Perhaps the fate of the Dragon Clan has been changed since the day the Voyager landed on this planet ...though they didn't take us, they did show us a way...a way to survive among the stars.

"Dragon is a race that refuses to admit defeat. As their former god, I know this very well—since the day the sailor left, the head of the dragon clan has never lowered."

Gao Wen sighed in his heart: No matter where the sailors are now, no matter whether their long expedition has reached the goal or not, their journey in this star space has indeed changed too many things. The most precious "heritage" to this world may not be those advanced satellites and space stations, nor is it an "unbundling" of the indigenous civilization of this planet in ancient times, but a possibility, a kind of reality that seems to be impossible in the seemingly impossible. There is still the possibility of moving forward in the darkness of the way out.

"I want to know, what is the principle behind your divine power to protect Tarrond in the demonic tide?" He suddenly asked, "Although we don't intend to choose the path of 'God's Protection', I believe one thing However, since the gods are also part of the natural laws of this world, the related 'miracles' and 'shelter' must have laws to follow. As long as the laws can be recognized and analyzed, then we must have a way to safely Master it."

"This is indeed something you would say." Enya seemed to have a hint of a smile in her tone, but soon the smile turned into a sigh, "Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to this question either."

"You don't know?" Gawain's eyes widened immediately, "You have used your own power to protect the Dragon Clan for more than a million years, but you don't know how you did it?"

"I know a lot of things, but this is the only area I can't explore—because God can't analyze the thought itself," Enya said regretfully, "I have also tried to find out that I can protect the dragon's cognitive system in the magic tide ', in the hope that if one day I perish, this technical information will allow them to create a new defense system, but in several magic waves, I found that this process exceeded my...'observation'. I don't I know how to explain this kind of thing to you, because I have a different 'perspective' and 'margin of self' from ordinary people, if I have to give an example... It's like people can't see what's behind them without the help of tools thing."

Gao Wen listened carefully to Enya's explanation, and then he frowned and thought for a moment before breaking the silence: "Actually, we still have a clue...God cannot analyze the trend of thought itself, which shows that the key factor to protect observers in the tide of magic is Is it 'ideology'?"

"I think it's possible to guess like that," Enya said approvingly, "That's my thinking too—it's a pity I can't verify it myself."

"Then this happens to be the direction we are researching now," Gawain exhaled the turbidity in his chest, his brows stretched slightly, "controllable thoughts, mental protection based on thoughts, shielding technology against divinity, mental calibration... Maybe, Are we on the right path?"

The voice in the golden giant egg did not answer for a while, but the runes on the surface of the pale golden eggshell became a little lighter. After a few seconds, Enya slowly said in a tone mixed with relief and caution: "Perhaps... after so many years, this cruel world has finally decided to show a little kindness to the creatures in the world."

"Compared to the goodwill shown by the world, I am more willing to believe that any chance of survival depends on mortals to fight for themselves," Gao Wen smiled and shook his head, "But I still hope that what you said is right, and I will repay the future. Optimism and anticipation.”

Enya smiled slightly, and then asked, "What else do you want to know?"

Gao Wen thought about it carefully, checking whether there were any omissions in his question, and at the same time sorting out the information he had obtained. After sorting it out, he thought he had gained enough today, but he was just preparing to Before getting up to thank him, a question that he had never thought about before suddenly popped up in his mind, which made him stop.

"There is a question," he sat up straight, his eyebrows frowned again, "about the Principality of the Holy Dragon... Tarrond survived the demon tide time and time again by relying on the big shield and your protection, but the Holy Dragon What about the Principality? They are out of your sight, and out of the protection of the great shield of Tarrond, how did they..."

Enya's voice was silent for a moment, and then it reached Gao Wen's ears in a low voice: "Which Holy Dragon Principality do you think is the current 'Sacred Dragon Principality'?"

Gao Wen: "..."

"Gao Wen, my friend, seeking a way to survive in this world has never been a tender fairy tale, nor is it a knight's game in which the hero can usher in the light with a single call," a low and soft voice came from the golden dome. Voice, "Although I know you are well aware of this, many times, we still have to remind ourselves all the time."

Gao Wen didn't speak, but unconsciously tapped the armrest of the seat slowly, his face became a little solemn and solemn, and Enya's voice sounded again after a while, reaching his ears: "We have talked a lot today. , at the very end, I have some small suggestions."

Gao Wen raised his eyes and looked in Enya's direction: "Suggestion?"

"Although this planet is just a speck of dust in the universe, even on this speck of dust, there are still many fields that mortals have never explored. You have made great progress in the field of long-distance voyage, and you have The sea monsters, who can be regarded as allies, help...so if you have spare energy, go to explore those distant strange continents. In the past civilization replacement, there were also intelligent creatures that rose on other continents. Although they have disappeared, But perhaps there are still some useful traces of civilization left, and there are also some continents where the legacy left by the sailors can still be found, and precious secrets may be buried there.

"In the age of mythology, the dragons and I were both bound by the 'two-way shackles'. We couldn't explore things that were too far away from Tarrond or had a deep connection with the sailor...but now, the shackles are gone."

Gao Wen didn't expect the other party's suggestion to be so specific and clear-cut. His expression became solemn, and he nodded very seriously: "Thank you very much for your suggestion—don't worry, I understand the value of ocean exploration. The exploration of other continents and distant sea areas is already in my future plan, which will be one of the goals of the alliance in the next stage."

"That's good," Enya said with a sense of relief in her voice, and a smile appeared in her tone again, "Then are there any other questions?"

Gao Wen thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head slowly: "Not for the time being - I have harvested enough information today, and these things are enough for me and the scholars to digest for a while. Of course, if I think of anything later, I will definitely be fine." I'll come to you and ask."

"You are welcome at any time, of course the premise is that I can answer those questions," Enya chuckled, seeing that Gao Wen had got up, she said suddenly, "Don't leave in a hurry, we have talked for so long, do you want to have a drink? thing?"

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help showing a pleasant smile on his face. He looked at the long table behind Enya, and said with an expectant tone, "You succeeded?"

"I'm not sure yet. After all, the 'reflection' that is a miracle of gods can no longer be reproduced. I can only try to concoct a 'mortal drink' that can be mixed with secular materials based on your description," Enya said as she spoke. , while the invisible magic power was running, a cylindrical container and a porcelain water cup floated behind her. The container made a slight sound during the floating process. It was obviously full of liquid, and there might be ice cubes in it. "It probably still doesn't taste like the one you remember, but hopefully it's at least a little more palatable and relieves your fatigue and stress."

"I'm already looking forward to it," Gao Wen couldn't help but said with a smile. He watched the container being pulled by an invisible force in mid-air, pouring some dark brown liquid into the porcelain cup, and the sound of bubbles bursting could be heard. Come on, "By the way, has anyone tasted it now?"

"No, after all, this is specially made for you," Enya said while handing the cup to Gao Wen, "I tried a little myself, but my sense of taste seems to be different from that of ordinary people... even Whether it has a sense of taste or not is still a question.”

While speaking, Gao Wen had already taken the glass, and he looked down at the swaying dark brown liquid in the glass. Enya's words made him hesitate, but after confirming that there was no strange smell coming from the liquid, he then Picking up the cup, he took a big gulp down.

An indescribable, extremely choking smell—Gao Wen felt that it even had an "indescribable" smell that rushed up in an instant, and it was also mixed with a biting chill and a huge amount of compressed gas released. It violently impacted his senses, and the willpower of the legendary strongman only persisted in the face of this force for less than two seconds.

"puff--"

In all fairness, it would be impolite to spray water on a lady at close range, especially since this lady is technically a goddess (although she is now in the form of an egg) - but Gawain couldn't hold back.

The dark brown liquid flowed down Enya's eggshell, and the atmosphere in the hatching room became a bit awkward. Gawain held half a glass of "indescribable mixed special drink" in his hand, staring at the scene in front of him with a stiff expression, for a long time Only then did he choke out a sentence: "Ah, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

"It seems that my first attempt was not successful." Enya's voice came from the eggshell, but she was still very calm and serious, "I need to adjust the ratio of various materials... Do you have any suggestions? Judging by the taste you just tasted."

"...I feel like I have lost the memory just now," Gao Wen's mouth twitched, "Anyway, my only suggestion is that you don't let others try this thing, they don't necessarily have a legendary physique."

"Okay, I completely understand, it seems that the degree of failure is a bit serious - it is necessary to make more thorough improvements," Enya's voice is still serious, "Sorry, are you okay?"

"Fortunately, at least I didn't swallow it just now," Gao Wen said dumbfoundedly. He felt that he should comfort Enya, who had failed the "experiment", at this time, but he swallowed the words back. The voice didn't sound frustrated at all, but seemed to be full of some kind of fighting spirit, which made him feel that it might be a good thing not to comfort him at this time - and what Enya needs more than comfort is to wipe, "I still Let me wipe it for you first..."

"I'll let Betty wipe it off later, it's almost time for her to help me wipe the eggshells," Enya said, "compared to me, do you need to change your clothes? "

Gao Wen looked down at his chest, only to find that his clothes were also wet, he sighed dumbfounded: "Well, I didn't expect this in-depth discussion to end in such a way... In a sense, it's a shame. It really relieved me a lot of pressure. Then I will take the first step."

"Go slowly, I'm sorry I can't send it away, and please look forward to my next finished product - I just had an improvement plan, and I am very confident this time."

Gao Wen: "..."

Chapter 1144 Dragon Blood Hall

When he came out of the incubator, the sunlight coming in through the large French windows in the corridor had turned orange red. Gawain came to a window and saw that the sky near dusk was gradually filling the streets and alleys of the city, and the towering magic energy in the distance The radio tower is bathed in skylight, and the magic energy obelisk on the top of the tower is floating and rotating under the action of the anti-gravity device. The precisely cut crystal surface constantly reflects the magnificent sunset, and under the tower, the world is still prosperous, A city that grows more prosperous every day.

This is a city he built with his own hands, and it is also a city built by thousands of builders. It stands proudly at the foot of the Dark Mountains, and every brick and stone is solid and stable, carrying all the hopes and lives of the people who live here .

But in a sense, this city is actually just standing in people's "observation world", it can be touched, it can be reached, it has its own color, texture and even smell, but all this is just covered in A layer of "reflection" on the real universe...and the real universe under this layer of reflection is still inaccessible to mortals in this world.

Gao Wen exhaled lightly, slowly dispelling the meaningless sense of illusion and alienation in his heart, and shook his head with a slightly self-deprecating smile.

This kind of question that is close to the field of philosophy... thinking too much will really make people psychologically disturbed.

A familiar aura appeared in his perception, and Gao Wen turned his head to look in the direction from which the aura came. In the interlaced light and shadow beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw a petite figure jumping out of the air nimbly, and at the same time landed and returned Look yourself up and down with your eyes.

"As soon as I came here, I saw you thinking about life in the corridor?" Amber looked at Gao Wen with suspicious eyes, and skillfully used the strange words that Gao Wen taught her, "What's the matter? I talked with the Dragon God for a long time, and I feel It's as if your whole three views have been reorganized... This is the first time I've seen you look like this."

Gao Wen recalled what he had heard from Enya, and a complicated and inexplicable smile appeared on his face: "Three views reorganized... That's not wrong."

"...Wow," Hu Po exclaimed exaggeratedly with wide-eyed eyes, "This...can make you feel like a reorganization of the three views?! It seems that the Dragon God is really not an ordinary egg. I have been with you for so long, or This is the first time I saw someone who can defeat you in terms of three views."

"Is this a compliment?" Gao Wen cast a glance at the elf's shame out of the corner of his eye, "And it's not an ordinary egg, what's the way to describe it... Why don't you try to say that in front of Enya?"

Amber thought about it seriously, and weighed the battle between herself and an egg, with a look of eagerness on her face, but fortunately, her reason finally defeated her ability to act—she suspected that the dragon egg that was once a god Even if you can only stand on the ground, you can use the "indescribable divine power" to pat yourself in various places, so you can only wave your hands resentfully: "Don't care about these details... By the way, what are you guys talking about? How can you make me feel like you are here?" Are you showing this expression?"

Gao Wen's slightly joking expression became serious and deep again. He looked at the "half-elf" girl in front of him. The big amber eyes of the other party were full of curiosity and a little worry. After a few seconds of pondering, he gently Sighing, he looked up at the glorious sun that was gradually sinking towards the horizon in the distance.

(Happy birthday to me!)

"See the sun?" he asked casually. "What does it look like now?"

"The sun?" Amber was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand why Gao Wen suddenly asked such a question, "What else could it look like... a big orange fireball? Or a big glowing balloon wrapped in clouds and mist? Anyway That's what the scholars say... By the way, does this question have something to do with what you discussed with the Dragon God today?"

Gao Wen didn't answer Amber's question, but said softly as if talking to himself: "Yeah, the big orange fireball... But maybe at some point, in the eyes of some individuals, it will no longer be like this. appearance……"

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Amber scratched her hair, "But I mentioned similar knowledge when I heard Santis give a lecture. He said that the eyes of many birds have a different structure from the eyes of humans or elves. The colors of the things they see are also different, and they can even see many things that humans cannot see with the naked eye-the sun in their eyes may be green or purple, and the clear and empty sky in our eyes may be full of giants in their eyes. Large and small magic vortexes, some birds are even confused by the vortex due to neurological diseases, hovering in the empty sky until they are exhausted..."

"Oh?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows with interest, "Is that so?"

"Of course," Amber said, spreading her hands, "Not only are there, but there are also some superstitious hunters who call this kind of crazy bird that hovers in the sky until death, and they regard it as bad luck. If they see a bird of doom before entering the mountain, they will even give up hunting for a day, so as not to be "bewitched by invisible demon spirits and trapped to death in the mountain" like those birds, but now many people know, It's just because the birds in the sky see things that humans can't see..."

Amber talked about the new knowledge she had learned with great interest, but Gawain's mood was inexplicably calmed down by the half-elf's rambling narration. It is not the same thing as the phenomenon of "macroscopic observers falling into confusion" revealed by Enya, but there are subtle similarities between the two, which made him feel a little strange and coincidental.

When Amber finally finished her babbling, Gao Wen broke the silence: "What do you want me to do?"

"Ah, I was so busy chatting, I forgot about the business!" Amber slapped her head and quickly came to her senses, "We have received a call from Beigang, and Tarrond will send a resident ambassador and several diplomats. The officials remain in Cecil, and the list and the corresponding application letters have been sent—the ambassador is our old acquaintance, the Miss Melita Purnia."

"Permanent ambassador... It seems that Tarrond is finally getting on the right track." Hearing the news brought by Amber, Gao Wen was not surprised at all, but said softly thoughtfully, "Merry Tower? It’s pretty much what I expected.”

"According to the news from the 'Track' intelligence line, Typhon has also received an official letter from Tarrond on the establishment of diplomatic relations, and another batch of permanent ambassadors will arrive in Aldernan in the near future, but the date is shorter than ours. Later," Amber continued, "In addition, the intelligence officers we sent to the north of the mainland received news that the authorities of the Holy Dragon Principality are adopting a series of public opinion guidance related to Tarrond, and the domestic wind direction is gradually changing. , the dragon descendants are re-examining their relationship with the pure-blooded dragon, and the original "exile" is being gradually downplayed by the official. According to my judgment, this should be the normalization of the relationship between Tallond and the Holy Dragon Principality 'preparation'."

While talking, the increasingly mature intelligence chief couldn't help but sighed: "Well, the last time I saw Maggie, I saw her in a daze in the garden, it seems that the dragonborn's feelings for Tarrond are indeed true. It's complicated..."

Hearing Amber's emotion, Gao Wen's mind drifted to another direction, and the words that Enya said to himself appeared in his mind:

"In your opinion, which Holy Dragon Principality is the present 'Sacred Dragon Principality'?"

He sighed softly, gathered his thoughts again, and interrupted Amber aloud: "Don't forget to tell Hetty, let her prepare for the resident ambassador—not just the ambassador of Tarrond , we will welcome envoys from more countries in the future, and it seems that the embassy street will need to be expanded again soon.

"In addition, go and inform Rebecca that master scholars who are going to study magic waves and gods are going to be convened. We are going to have a meeting, and I have something to announce."

Amber sensed something from his tone, she raised her head, her gaze intersected with Gawain's in search, and after two seconds she solemnly lowered her head: "I understand."

"I thought you would definitely ask something." Gawain couldn't help but glanced at the half-elf. "It's not like your usual style to be so happy and reliable."

Amber immediately rolled her eyes, and at the same time her figure had gradually faded in the air, only an increasingly ethereal voice came to Gawain's ears: "I can grow up too..."

……

When the Fire Fire Constellation gradually rises to the highest point in the sky, the chill finally recedes from all corners of the entire continent. Even on the top of the mountains in the far north, the snow-covered area has shrunk to the smallest stage of the year——Longlinbao Still standing proudly on the highest mountain, the snow around the fort has receded to the highest point of the mountain. Looking down from the high terrace of the castle, the surface of the mountain covered with rocks and mud is turning green. The trend extends downward, and the greenery becomes more and more intense, spreading all the way to distant cities, villages and wilderness.

Grand Duke Baloger turned around and left the terrace, walked through the small corridors and stone arches connecting the terrace and the main castle, passed the blazing magic braziers and the simple and solemn dragon seal stone pillars, and came to Dragon's Landing Fort In the deepest part of the palace, in the hall where the throne is placed.

His most trusted courtiers, Golosh Schickel and Eugene Natosh are standing on both sides of the throne, and apart from these two trusted courtiers, the entire throne room is empty at the moment, where it should have been The guards and servants who were waiting had all been screened back.

"Your Majesty," Eugene Natosh, with white beard and hair and wearing a twill white robe, took a step forward—even though Balogar was called "Dragon Blood Duke", in the principality he ruled, his title was It's "Your Majesty", "The path to the lower level has been activated, and the Dragon Blood Council is waiting for your visit."

"Understood," Balogel nodded lightly, and then glanced at the two courtiers, "this time, you go with me."

"Your Majesty?" Golosh Schickel's eyes widened in surprise, "But today is not..."

"I'm going to the Tomb of the Unknown Dragon, to visit my old friends there," Balogar said softly, "Come with me."

The two courtiers looked at each other subconsciously, then their eyes calmed down, and they nodded slowly.

Balogar didn't speak anymore, but just walked towards the back of the throne—behind this extremely simple and majestic huge seat that seemed to be made of huge stones as a whole, stood a huge statue of a dragon head, which was the center of the hall. The most solemn and imposing "decoration", and in the open space between the dragon head statue and the throne, a circular stone floor slightly protrudes from the ground, and its edges are decorated with light golden lines.

In silence, Grand Duke Dragon Blood and two courtiers stood in the center of the circular ground. After waiting for a while, a voice came from the dragon head statue behind: "The elevator...down, destination, Dragon Blood parliament."

A slight tremor came from under the feet, and the circular ground decorated with pale gold edging shook for a while, and then began to sink steadily.

Baloger couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: After Omega left, too many advanced automatic systems were turned into scrap metal due to network interruptions, only these "old things" seemed to be outdated because of the use of outdated technology. Incredibly reliable.

The two dragon-born courtiers, Golosh Schickel and Eugene Natosh, did not have so much emotion. They just descended with the platform in silence with solemn expressions.The entire elevator sank into an extremely deep shaft, and it quickly passed the main building of Dragon's Landing Castle, the first floor, and even the foundation below. Go deep and move on.

In the shaft, the automatically-sensing lights came on one by one, illuminating the ancient structures on the circular inner wall that had undergone countless renovations and maintenance.The uppermost layer of the shaft still has a stone-like texture, but as the height continues to decrease, the shaft wall has begun to show an obvious alloy structure. The guide grooves, energy conduits, and running steel that are integrated with the shaft wall Cables and bearings flashed in the light, and amidst the mechanical friction sound of the elevator running, a humming sound from deep underground gradually became apparent.

Finally, with a burst of shaking and a clicking sound of the locking device being activated, the elevator stopped at a certain floor, and the stiff synthesized sound came to the ears of the three passengers: "The elevator...stopped, it has arrived , Dragon Blood Council."

After a few sounds of the mechanical lock running, an opening was opened on the side wall of the shaft, and the dim light came into the eyes of Grand Duke Baloger.

He stepped out of the elevator first, and beyond the shaft was another hall.

A hall located deep in the mountain, which looks almost identical to the "Throne Hall" on the surface, its structure seems to be a replica of the hall on the surface, even the lines on every column, wall and dome They are all exactly the same, but the difference is that instead of the huge stone throne and dragon head in this hall, there is a circular high platform connected to the ground by a steep stone ladder. .

The lights in this "Mirror Hall", which is almost exactly the same as the Throne Hall on the surface, were dimly lit, but as Baloger climbed onto the circular high platform, the lighting device set here immediately started on its own, and the bright lights went along As the central axis of the hall extends all the way to the end, in the bright light that descends suddenly, the huge shadows lined up on both sides of the hall become clear.

It was 22 dragon heads intertwined with machinery, pipelines, artificial nerve bundles and a small amount of biological tissue. A large number of mechanical arms and pipeline cables hanging from the dome fixed them in the air at a height of about one meter from the ground. There is a circular platform under the dragon head. The outer wall of the platform is some kind of metal from ancient times, and the top surface is transparent crystal. There is a viscous liquid like blood flowing slowly inside the platform. In the depths of the liquid, only the complex mechanical pump and piping system can be vaguely seen—just like a heart beating continuously.

Chapter 1145 Thirty Generations

Baloger stood on the high platform of the Dragon's Blood Hall, looking solemnly at the 22 dragon heads lined up on both sides of the hall—those heads that are almost entirely composed of mechanical structures seem to have not finished thinking about the previous process, They bowed their heads in silence, only a faint and flickering light wandered deep in the pipeline, and the "hissing" sound of the circulation pump and gas pipeline running occasionally came from somewhere, which was one of the few sounds in the entire hall .

Finally, the light behind one of the dragon heads brightened, and the head was lifted slightly. Under the traction of the mechanical arm, he turned to Baloger's direction, and a synthetic voice lacking emotional fluctuations came from the speaker. : "Baloger, the refuge administrator, welcome to the Dragon Blood Council."

One after another, the Dragon Prime Ministers woke up from their contemplation. Accompanied by a series of light signals and mechanical sounds, they all turned to Balogar's direction and nodded their respects.

"Good day, Members," Balogar said with a serious expression, breaking the silence, "Are there any conclusions about the question I asked you to deduce last time?"

"Unfortunately, this thinking process has been terminated early by the Dragon Blood Council," said one of the dragon heads. "The development trajectory of civilization in this era has completely exceeded the reference library of historical data, and unpredictable factors have exceeded the threshold. We believe that even if forced It is impossible to accurately predict the future direction of the 'Alliance' and the Dragon Clan through deduction."

"Not only that," another "senator" continued, "We don't think it is necessary to continue to use the Dragon Blood Council to deduce such issues in the future-the age of mythology is over, administrator, our old deduction modules are no longer Get used to the new situation."

"...I understand, I will seriously consider your opinions," Baloger said after being silent for two seconds, then nodded slightly, "then another thing... about our god. It has been confirmed that the dragon god has fallen The remaining human part has been reorganized and regenerated on its own, and it is now stranded in the human country Cecil."

"We have been aware of this matter and completed the evaluation 12 hours ago," the dragon head closest to Baloger responded, "This is beyond all our plans, but judging from the results, it does not have Threat. The only possible variable is that humans will have the opportunity to come into contact with a large amount of knowledge related to gods and demons... This matter will have a positive tendency. Should we continue to deduce this thinking process?"

"Continue to deduce," Baloger said immediately, "We need to judge the possibility of establishing further exchanges with other countries, especially Cecil... Almost all the variables in this era are unfolded from that land .”

"Understood, this process has been added to the mission plan."

The dragon's blood hall fell silent for a while, Baloger stood on the high platform as if lost in thought, and those "members" waited patiently for the next interactive command from the administrator. After half a minute of silence, Baloger It was only then that the silence was suddenly broken: "I don't have any more questions—open the passage to the Nameless Dragon Tomb."

"Understood, the channel has been opened. The council will switch to working mode in ten seconds, looking forward to your next visit, administrator."

Monotonous mechanical synthesis sounded in the hall, and slight tremors came from the bottom of the platform. The lights above the 22 dragon heads were extinguished one by one. These ancient thinkers who had been fully mechanized lowered their heads one by one. A light strip located on the central axis of the dome casts a cool glow, illuminating a sloping staircase in front of the high platform—the staircase extends all the way down, and a dim yellow light can be seen deep in it. what a deep place.
