Chapter 0909 Always Pay Something

Gawain watched Melita's face turn from red to white, and then from white to red again. The agent lady held a corner of the desk, her eyes suddenly widened, and her whole body shook involuntarily—— Then, a low and weird grunt sounded from the depths of her throat, which seemed to be mixed with countless murmurs of different wills, and a pair of phantom dragon wings that almost covered the entire study room spread out instantly, in the phantom Thousands of pairs of eyes seemed to be hidden, all staring at Gao Wen's position at the same time.

In the next second, all those phantom eyes disappeared. Melita forcibly suppressed the urge to tear and separate in the depths of her soul. Her knuckles turned white from the force, and her eyes were in a daze for a long time before they focused on Gawain: "Another one exploded..."

Gawain didn't even hear what she was muttering clearly this time, he was only full of surprise, and subconsciously reached out to help Melita: "You... I just asked for a name, how could..."

Melita gasped for breath twice, before she managed to squeeze out the words: "That's... our God. Oh my God, I didn't expect you to say His real name suddenly, let alone say His real name. His real name actually attracted His attention..."

Gao Wen was dumbfounded.

Two seconds later, he realized that he had heard correctly, and suddenly exclaimed: "You mean...that's the name of the Dragon God?!"

"Yes," Melita said with a wry smile, and staggered to the side chair and sat down - as a senior agent, it is very rude to do so without the permission of the guests behavior, but this time she violated her "professionalism" for the first time, "And please don't say that name directly again... The risk to me is really huge..."

Gao Wen hadn't fully recovered from the shock of knowing the truth. At this time, while he was churning with countless conjectures, he had new questions, and at the same time subconsciously asked: "Wait! You said that the person just now Did the gods 'watch' here?"

He thought of the illusory dragon wings that appeared behind Melita just now, and the vague "countless eyes" deep in the phantom of the dragon wings, which seemed to be just an illusion. At first, he thought it was just an illusion, but now he never From Melita's few words, he suddenly realized that the situation might not be that simple——

Just now, right in front of his eyes, the "god" far away in Tarrond heard someone calling his name here, and glanced this way!

"Yes, a brief gaze..." Melita forced a smile, "Please rest assured, He has withdrawn his gaze... It is rare for a mortal to call the real name of a god outside of Tarrond, so It must have been just curiosity."

"Do gods have this kind of curiosity..." Gawain couldn't help muttering, and at the same time, he quickly combined a series of clues in series in his mind - the blonde woman who suddenly appeared in front of Mordir Wilde turned out to be the mysterious The dragon god who was stranded in the world, and the latter also helped Mordir who was in trouble; after facing the gods, Mordir was unscathed, did not fall into madness or mutated, and returned to the human world safely; the dragon god Forbidding the dragons to approach the giant tower near Tarrond, even her own "person" has obvious resistance and fear of that tower, but even so, she chooses to help a reckless human being, and she even greatly Fangfang told Modil his name...

There are puzzling motives and connections hidden in a series of things. Even if Gao Wen has a rich association ability, it is difficult to find a reasonable answer.

As for whether Mordir's records are reliable, whether the blond woman who appeared in front of him is the real Dragon God... Gawain has no doubts about this.

In the place next to Tarrond, there shouldn't be any daring existence pretending to be the name of a god, and the name "Enya" is absolutely unique within the Dragon Clan.

Gao Wen's face changed several times, his brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were deep, and he didn't exhale lightly until a minute later.

Leaving aside other mysteries, his biggest gain this time...maybe he accidentally learned the "name" of a god.This is the third god whose name he knows besides the giant deer Amoen and the upper-level narrator Naritil Duwart.

It's just that the rules of this world are full of mysteries, and he doesn't know what the functions of these names can be... Now it seems that there is only one use he can be sure of, and that is to serve as a "calling number", and it may not be possible to get through. There may also be a need to sacrifice a dragon friend...

He glanced at Melita, who was slowly adjusting her breath. The latter's face finally became normal, but she was still a little weak—this was the friend who was almost sacrificed.

Gao Wen felt quite sorry, he got up and poured a glass of water for Melita, handed it over and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Melita took the water glass, her eyes fell on Gao Wen, her expression was rather complicated: "...fortunately...thank you."

Gao Wen hesitated: "Then shall we continue?"

"...If it were any other circumstances, I should end this consulting business and go back to rest for a few days," Melita sighed in a low voice, shaking her head, "but now... I'm afraid I have to hold on a little longer .What else was said in that travel note?"

Immediately before Gao Wen could speak, she waved her hand again: "No, you'd better not tell me. I want to see it for myself—is that okay?"

"It's not a problem." Gawain glanced at Mordir's travel notes lying quietly on the table, and then looked at Melita with some worry, "But is your body all right? What is recorded on it?" Something can be just as... harmful to your health."

Melita glanced at Gao Wen with a complicated expression, "I will take precautions when reading—and the words recorded by the mortal race are not so powerful, even if there are some taboo knowledge in them, I can still filter them out. Lose."

There is still something in her heart that she is not ashamed to say - no matter how harmful the content in this book is to her health, I am afraid it is not as terrible as chatting with you...

"Since this is your decision," Gao Wen saw that the other party's attitude was firm, so he didn't insist. He reached out and took the travel book, and handed it to Melita after turning to the corresponding page, "Start reading from here. , the contents of the next dozen or so pages are all. Be careful when reading, and if there is any abnormal situation, you must notify me in time."

Melita nodded, and took the ancient book with a mottled cover. Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart—the dragon race, such a powerful race, has such a huge power because of the shackles of suspected gods and black traps. Even being mobilized and uttering certain words will cause serious backlash damage... When the weak races on the earth watched these powerful creatures fluttering across the sky, who would have thought of these powerful creatures? Dragons are actually all flying with chains?

All of this is simply a curse...

He looked at Melita, and saw that she had already fixed her gaze on the page after taking a deep breath, as if she was ready to start reading—Gowin himself was also ready to wait patiently.

Modil wrote a lot of words about his trip to the North Pole. It was a very long piece of content, and even a quick glance would take a long time. Melita needed to protect herself at all times. It must have seemed unpleasant, said indefinite……

As soon as his thoughts turned to this point, he saw the agent lady holding the book with one hand, and with the other hand, she grabbed the pages at the back and flipped through them in front of her eyes. The contents of more than a dozen pages were flipped through in less than a second. ...

"I've finished reading it," Melita let out a long breath, and handed "Modir's Travel Notes" to Gao Wen, "To be honest... If you don't consider those dangerous contents, this notebook is really wonderful."

Gao Wen was dumbfounded: "This is... finished?"

The faint light in Melita's eyes gradually receded. She noticed Gao Wen's surprise, and explained casually: "It's the ability of speed reading—it's very effective for dealing with these dangerous written materials."

She did not explain the reasoning behind this in detail, because the relevant content may not be easy for humans to understand-in that short second, she actually blocked her biological vision and used the optical implant in the fundus The body scanned the content on the page, and then sent the text to the auxiliary electronic brain, which checked and filtered the text, and the "risk identification library" would directly black out or replace the harmful text, and finally output it to her biological brain. The whole process is efficient and safe, and basically does not affect her grasp of the overall content of the travel notes.

Gao Wen didn't delve into the secret behind the other party's miraculous "speed reading ability", but asked curiously: "Is there anything you want to say after reading it?"

Melita thought for a while, and her expression suddenly became serious: "I want to ask first, what do you plan to do with this travel book?"

She even used the honorific "you" again. Obviously, she is very concerned about this issue and has risen to the level of "businesslike".

"This book is one of the results of the Cecil Empire's 'Literature Preservation' project, which aims to collect and sort out the scattered ancient knowledge, protect and restore various ancient books, so this "Modir's Travels" It must be archived," Gao Wen's expression became serious, and he replied, but inadvertently erased the fact that "Modill's Travels" had been copied and archived, "As for the future... Part of the knowledge must be open to the public, and this is also the consistent basic national policy of the Cecil Empire—you should also know this.”

"Yeah... Literacy for all, popularization of knowledge... It's a very good system," Melita said with a little sigh at first, but then she frowned and shook her head, "However, some 'knowledge' is not real. Knowledge, they can only lead people in the wrong direction, and even make people chase things that run counter to 'reason'... I say this, can you understand?"

"You mean... the tower that lured Mordir into it," Gawain said slowly, "Yes, I can see that Mordir was lured into the tower by some kind of force, even You must have been affected at the time - and you're forgetting these things now, which makes the whole thing even more eerie and dangerous."

"Yes, it's dangerous. Letting the world know the existence of the Voyager Legacy itself is a risk—of course, I'm not saying that anyone is absolutely forbidden to know it, after all, at least you and the artisans who were responsible for restoring this book have read it The content of the travel notes has been published, but this is not the same concept as being open to the whole people. Some things... it is too early to publish it now."

Gawain looked into Melita's eyes: "You mean..."

"Only as a friend, I suggest that you erase the content about Tarrond and the giant tower in this travel book...at least until we have a way to fight the pollution of that tower, do not disclose the relevant content to prevent More reckless people are taking risks," Melita said seriously, with a sincere and earnest tone, "Our god has already glanced this way, I'm not sure how much he knows, but since he didn't go any further 'Descent', that means He acquiesced in giving you these advices. My friend, I don't want to use any strong means to interfere with you and your country, but I really do it for your own good..."

Gao Wen nodded and interrupted her without waiting for the other party to finish speaking: "I know, I agree."

This time, Melita was surprised instead: "Uh...you promised very...happily."

"I'm not an unreasonable person, not to mention I often deal with some weird and dangerous things," Gao Wen laughed, "I know how tricky they are, and I can understand your concerns. Don't worry, I Will hide these risky things - you should trust the execution efficiency of the Cecil Empire and my personal credibility."

Melita showed a sigh of relief: "I trust this very much."

Then she took a deep breath and stood up leaning on the armrest of the chair: "As for now... I need to go back to Tarrond. I have to report what happened this time, and about the part I lost The memory... must also go back and investigate clearly."

"I understand," Gawain nodded, "I wish you all the best."

He watched Melita get up and walk towards the door of the study, but when the other party was about to leave, he suddenly thought of a question: "Wait a minute, I still have a question..."

Melita stopped and looked back in confusion.

"About the Legacy of the Voyager—I mean the giant tower," Gawain said while gathering his thoughts, "it obviously has the ability to 'pollute' mortals, I want to know if it has this pollution from the very beginning? Or is something causing it to be 'alienated' in this regard? What makes it so dangerous? Are there other Voyager legacy? Are they also contaminated?"

This is something he is very, very concerned about, and the biggest reason for his concern is that he himself is firmly bound to the "Legend of the Voyager"!

The satellite array in space, the sky station above the equator, and a series of other ancient facilities... These things are all left by the sailors, so are they also polluted like the giant tower near Tarrond?If so... then Gao Wen might not be able to settle down anymore!

After listening to Gawain's question, Melita stood there quietly. Two seconds later, she opened her mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out——

The bright red blood sprinkled the room with a little shimmer of light, and the energy contained in it even made the carpet in the study room and part of the table top of the desk emit corroded blue smoke!

Gao Wen was taken aback for an instant, and in the next second he rushed to Melita's side to support the crumbling Miss Agent: "Are you alright?!"

"It exploded... the [-] limited edition one with the light ring exploded..." Melita looked at Gao Wen with a look of despair, her tone even gnashed her teeth, "Why...why are your questions so dangerous today... ..."

Gao Wen: "..."

How could he know where to go!

Melita struggled to stand up, her body shook several times before regaining her footing, and she said in a low voice after a long time: "Pollution... it appeared in the later stage, and only that tower has that kind of pollution..."

Gao Wen didn't expect that the other party would persist in answering his question under such circumstances. He was moved and shocked for a moment, and couldn't help but take a half step forward: "You..."

"Stop talking!" Melita took half a step back in an instant, her body almost fell down again due to this violent movement, and then she looked at Gawain with a complex expression on her face that Gawain couldn't understand, "Sorry , this consulting service is over, I have to go back and take a rest...Don't talk to me again, don't say anything..."

Besides... it's not enough to explode.

Chapter 0910 God's Gaze

Gawain just watched the agent lady swaying and leaving the room with frivolous steps, the elegant, calm and reliable temperament of the past was gone.

He felt very sorry - he felt that he should stop the other party, and should arrange proper medical services and recuperation care for him, and make adequate compensation - even if he was just an unintentional mistake, it was true. It cannot be justified that the ground has harmed the agent lady.

However, after calmly thinking for a while, he decided to give up this idea—the main reason was that he was afraid that the dragon would die here directly...

"Why are you so stubborn..." Gawain couldn't help muttering as he watched Melita's departure direction, "If you don't want to answer, you can refuse to answer..."

A while later, Hetty came to the study after hearing the news, and the Grand Consul of the Empire said as soon as he entered the door: "Ancestor, I heard someone report that the agent of the Mithril Treasury was in a state when he left... ah—this is what happened?!"

She noticed the blood splattered in the room, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Let someone clean it up," Gawain sighed, and looked at the desk that was corroded and damaged by Melita's blood (it's only been used for less than two weeks) "Also, my desk should be replaced—and carpet."

"Ah? Oh, okay," Hetty was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly agreed, while carefully avoiding the bloodstains, and came to Gao Wen, "Ancestor, the relationship between you and the agent of the Mithril Treasury... didn't break out." conflict?"

"No, but I may have accidentally caused a little accidental injury... I think I will make up for it if I have a chance in the future," Gawain shook his head, then his eyes fell on the bloodstains, and his eyes suddenly changed, "By the way, Hetty , It is said... Dragon blood is a very precious magic material, right? The kind with high research value."

"That's true," Hetty nodded, not knowing why, "a few records from the ancient Gondor era mentioned that dragon blood has various magical properties, and its pure magic power can be used to analyze complex The crystal structure of the..."

"Then find a way to collect the blood that hasn't dried up when you're looking for someone to clean it up," Gawain said seriously, "don't waste it."

He was filled with emotion: Melita is his friend of the Dragon Clan, and by doing this, it can be regarded as showing the value of friendship--when I have a chance, I will reserve a place for Melita in the official information and add a "friendship" The title of "The Dragon", anyway, he doesn't plan to let the My Little Pony stalk go...

Hetty would never be able to see the coquettish operation in the other party's mind from the serious-faced ancestor, so her expression was easy to understand: "?"

……

Outside Cecil City, in an uninhabited valley, a figure suddenly rushed out of the bushes with fierce and turbulent magic power and strong wind, and stumbled to a flat sandy land.

Melita Penia stopped in this deserted place, and then suddenly let out a low growl—countless birds and beasts frantically fled from every corner of the valley, and even the more powerful monsters panicked. Joining the fleeing queue, all the creatures in the valley escaped from this place far away under the dragon's wire, while Melita herself was completely enveloped by a light curtain that suddenly appeared.

Amidst the changing light curtain, a giant blue dragon appeared in the middle of the sand. She crawled there, her wings drooping feebly, her scales seemed to lose their luster, and there were even fine drops of blood seeping through the gaps in some of the scales. came out and quietly gathered on the sandy soil under her body.

After injecting herself with several powerful boosters and emergency repair fluids, she was slightly relieved, and then directly started the communication with Tarrond.

The pale golden communication interface opened in front of her eyes, and the voice of the rear support staff came from the other side of the communication interface: "Melita? Why did you suddenly initiate an exclusive communication on this line?"

"I can't fly for the time being... I'm in a bad situation," Melita said weakly, "Noretta, haven't you received the alarm signal from my implant?"

"The monitoring system here is just doing clock calibration, and it didn't point to Loren just now, let me take a look..." Noretta's voice came from the communication interface, and the next second, she exclaimed, "Oh my god! What happened to you?! Your heart..."

"I had a rather stimulating conversation with Gawain Cecil," Melita said with a wry smile, "his words broke my heart—broke three..."

"Are you still in the mood to joke around at this time!?" Noretta's voice sounded extremely anxious, "All your auxiliary hearts have stopped, only one original heart is beating, and it can't drive all the functions in your body—— How is your condition now? Can you still move? You must return to Tarrond immediately for emergency repairs!"

"As I said just now, I can't fly for the time being... I may need the 'recycling team' to help," Melita said slowly, "Also remember to bring enough 'big wave' booster, I just put all the Quotas are all used up."

"Okay, the recovery team is on the line, and they'll be up in 10 minutes - with the 'big wave' booster you asked for. Damn, you're probably the only one in the last two millennia who's been on a regular field mission with the I got the dragon that needs to be recovered by myself... What on earth have you been talking to that human emperor?" Noretta couldn't help but asked curiously, but then added, "Ah, if it's not convenient to say said……"

Obviously, she realized that this was not the "safe signal area" located in the upper atmosphere, and considering that the communication at this moment might have caught the attention of the Dragon God, she reminded Melita.

"It's really inconvenient to say it here..." Melita thought of the terrible news she had talked with Gao Wen, her abnormal actions and the mysterious disappearance of her memories, even though she was still terrified at this moment, she shook her head slightly, With a deep and serious voice, "After I go back, I want to... see God. This may require the help of Speaker Andal to arrange it."

Before the friend on the other side of the communication interface made a sound, Melita heard an old and majestic voice suddenly intervene in the communication: "I'm online—Melita, do you want to meet the gods?"

"Yes," Melita thought for a while, and said seriously, "I have some questions, and I want to get answers from the gods. I hope you can help me pass them on to High Priest Heragor..."

Just when she was halfway through her words, a majestic female voice, which seemed to be superimposed by countless voices, suddenly came into her mind, with an irresistible oppressive force and momentum, she saw a pale golden voice in a trance. The phantom of the ghost appeared in front of me, and my mind exploded: "I agree."

In an instant, the entire line was silent, and all "people", including Speaker Andal, fell silent. A tense and solemn atmosphere filled the communication channel, and even this silence seemed to be full of awe.

Melita felt that the heart of her remaining creature even twitched. She was alert and swallowed hard: "God... my lord..."

"Relax," continued the voice, "you may come to me any time you return to Tarrond."

The next second, that voice and the coercion it carried left, everything seemed to be just an illusion, it left so simply, it even seemed to deliberately tell everyone on the communication channel: I have left, you guys Just keep talking.

However, no one dared to really relax. Melita broke the silence when she heard her friend's nervous voice: "Just now...the gods intervened..."

"It seems that you have had a special experience," Speaker Andal's voice sounded, "Melita, take a good rest where you are, and pay attention to safety. The recovery team has already lifted off, and they will pick you up soon. What's the matter?" Come back and talk about it."

Subsequently, the old Dragon Clan speaker also left the channel.

For a while, only Melita and her friend who was the rear support staff were left in the communication line.

The effect of the synergist has been fully exerted, and the pain and abnormal signals in various parts of the body have been temporarily relieved. The chaotic thoughts in Melita's heart fluctuated continuously. In the end, she temporarily threw all the irritability to the back of her mind, The communication interface is also hidden.She adjusted her body slightly, and lay quietly on the ground in a relatively comfortable posture, her eyes staring at the dark mountains in the distance that had already fallen into the night.

Over the dark mountain range, the night shrouded the sky, and the stars were twinkling, dotting the entire sky.

After a long time, she suddenly heard her friend's voice in her ears: "Melita, are you okay?"

"Haven't you finished the communication yet?" Melita moved her neck lightly, "I thought you were offline."

"I'm a little worried about you," Noretta said, "I happen to have no other liaison tasks here, and the other outbound dragons heard about your accident and let the line out... By the way, Pector is in Tess He happened to have nothing to do when he stayed in the Mulin area, do you need him to go over and take care of him?"

"No need... I don't want to be laughed at," Melita said immediately, "The synergist has worked, I'll just stay here quietly for a while."

"All right……"

The channel was quiet for a few minutes, and then Melita couldn't help breaking the silence: "Hey, are you still there?"

"exist."

"I suddenly want to ask you... Do you know what it feels like to have only one heart beating in your body? A heart that has not been modified in any way and has been hatched from a dragon egg, how it feels when it beats."

"Me? I don't remember..." My friend said confusedly, "I replaced the original heart when I was very young... There should be very few dragons like you who still retain the original heart when they reach adulthood... "

"That's right...I'm a young old man." Melita couldn't help but smile, but then she grinned and put away the smile, "Hiss...it still hurts."
