Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The gigantic dragon flew across the sky above the castle. The gigantic dragon was slowly decelerating as it approached the open landing ground behind the castle. While it was descending, Melita and Noretta were carefully observing the massive facilities. They observed the towering energy towers, temporary roads, camps of the Alliance members, and the massive energy waves that were invisible to the naked eye in this area.
With Cecil and Typhon as the lead, a large number of manpower and material resources provided by the Alliance members were gathered to build the 'door' in this cold and barren wilderness. It was a sight that Melita had never seen before in her tens of thousands of years of dragon life. Her pair of eyes that were filled with magical radiance could see more things than ordinary people. In her magical vision, she could see the magical turbulence between the facilities, the massive energy gathered in the central area of the Contract Fortress, and a 'focal point' that seemed to devour all magic and was in the form of a vortex in the real world. Even without being reminded, she could guess that it was the location of the 'door'.
This was indeed a huge commotion.
The Giant Dragon slowly descended and finally landed on the landing field attached to the Contract Fortress. Before that, the technical directors of the facility had already gathered around the open field and waited.
"… This is the first time I've come in close contact with a Giant Dragon," Windsor Mappel said with a sigh as she watched the two Giant Dragons gradually fold their wings. When their huge and heavy bodies landed, even the entire square shook. "I can't imagine … Just two years ago, these powerful dragons were only creatures that appeared in adventure stories."
"And most of these adventure stories were written by the Giant Dragons themselves." Kamel shook his head and said casually.
In the past, most of the adventure stories related to the Giant Dragon in the mortal world were made up by the Dragons traveling in the Loren Continent. These stories were the main source of income for the traveling Dragons. This truth gradually spread as Tarlonde established more and more connections with the Loren Continent, and as more and more dragons entered human society as mercenaries, technical consultants, and expatriate scholars. When the "Dragonologists" learned the truth, countless popular legendary dramas were shrouded in a thick layer of absurdity overnight. But for the magicians who did not pay much attention to these fields, the greatest significance of these "truths" was just a joke to relieve boredom.
"… When I was 16, I was rebellious. I almost gave up my magic studies to study the Giant Dragon," Windsor Mappel seemed to recall something and said softly with a sigh. "Fortunately, I didn't take this path. Otherwise, let alone today's achievements, I'm afraid I would be like those 'Dragonologists.'"
The old mage, Daniel, who was standing next to her, snorted disdainfully. "Those so-called 'Dragonologists' have only themselves to blame. They took a bunch of specious legends and put together the so-called 'historical evidence', and then they huddled together to suppress dissidents. They 'invented' a lot of theories and created a so-called academic field out of nothing to deceive the world. They disguised themselves as scholars and deceived people for so many years. Who would have thought that one day the Giant Dragon would really come out of the story and greet the world openly?"
Windsor Mappel subconsciously looked at her teacher a few more times. She had noticed that her bad-tempered teacher was now 'returning to normal', especially after the 'Gate' project began. The life of academic research was making the old man regain the vigor and love of many years ago. She could not help but smile. "So thanks to your timely discipline, my rebellious character did not ruin my life."
Daniel just looked at his student who had now become a Legendary champion without any expression on his face. "Fortunately, your rebellious period ended when you were 16. Since you were 17, I almost couldn't beat you."
Windsor's expression was a little awkward for a moment. Daniel had already turned his head and looked at the few figures who were walking down from the giant dragon. His eyes seemed to have inadvertently swept over the tallest figure. In a slight movement that was undetectable by others, he nodded slightly and moved his lips slightly. "… Salute you …"
The Epic-class spy master and the master he was truly loyal to finally had their first offline meeting.jpg.
Gwen came down from Melita's wing. Behind him was Amber who was looking around and the two Young Dragon who were in high spirits. Not far from them was Noretta who was also crouching with her wings down, and Victoria and Modir who came down from Noretta.
Victoria was supposed to 'dismount' from the North Harbor and return to Winter Fort Academy. But considering that Modir was going to follow Gwen to the Divine Kingdom of the God of War, the Grand Consul followed along.
As for the two Young Dragon who came along … it was still because of the Dark Blue Magic Mark on them and their innate special 'sensing' talent. They were near the Tide-Defying Tower. The two little ones had proven that they could directly observe the aura of the Dark Blue Fissure. And this time, there was a similar fissure at the border of the Divine Kingdom of the God of War. Gwen and Melita both thought that bringing them along might be of some use.
A light screen appeared out of thin air, and the figure of the Giant Dragon gradually condensed into a human form. Gwen stepped towards the technical directors who had gathered at the landing site. He first looked at Kamel and Windsor, then his eyes fell on Daniel who was keeping a straight face, and Mary who was lowering her head slightly, trying to reduce her presence behind her tutor.
Gawain couldn't help but praise Mary in his heart. Mary's acting skills were really good. She was able to perfectly maintain her usual 'persona' in such a stressful situation. With her cautious and cowardly personality, she should have reacted this way when meeting a big shot from a foreign country.
"Your Majesty." Kamel was the first to come forward. There was a buzzing sound coming from his body. "I'm glad you're here in person."
"I've heard about the progress you've made here. There's something I need to see for myself." Gwen nodded and his eyes naturally fell on the others. As the highest technical director of Typhon, Windsor Mappel immediately stepped forward and bowed politely. "My respects to you, Your Majesty Gwen Cecil. I'm Windsor Mappel, President of the Royal Association of Mages of Typhon. On behalf of the Typhon Scholars, I'd like to express my gratitude and respect for your great support in the field of cutting-edge technology. As far as I know, no human emperor has ever made such a huge contribution to the development of technology as you have."
This was not a casual flattery, but a sincere respect. Even when the relationship between Typhon and Cecil was tense, and even as an 'opponent', Windsor Mappel had to admit Cecil's advanced position in the field of magical engineering. She had to admit that the 'Age of Magical Engineering' brought by Gwen Cecil had brought great changes to the world. Unlike those stubborn politicians who used their butts to decide their brains at all times, Windsor Mappel, as a scholar, was more straightforward in expressing her admiration for Gwen, who brought about 'advancement'.
"Madam Windsor Mappel … I know you. Rosetta said that you are his most trusted magic consultant, especially in the process of fighting the God's Eye. You played an irreplaceable role." Gwen smiled and nodded to the legendary mage. "And now you have opened the door to the realm of the gods. In this era, we need experts like you who understand the gods more than ever."
After the friendly business flattery, Gwen's eyes fell on Daniel and Mary.
"Daniel Fred, the current president of the Typhon Empire's Association of Craftsmen," Daniel said with a straight face. "My respects to you. Behind me is my apprentice, Mary. She is not a big shot here. "
"Daniel … I know you too." Gwen also smiled and looked up and down at his subordinate who reported to him at least twice a week. "You have cracked many of our magical technologies. We sold you an engine prototype, and it didn't take long for you to build your own engine."
As soon as he said that, Windsor, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt nervous. Although Gwen was always smiling when he said those words, the sensitivity of the topic itself made the president of the Royal Association of Mages nervous. She had known that her mentor had a special and sensitive identity here. The magical technology team led by her mentor had been the backbone of the fight against "Cecil's magical hegemony." More than half of the credit should go to Daniel for the reason that Typhon was not crushed in the face of the oncoming magical era. And if this huge contribution to Typhon was in the eyes of Cecil …
That would not be a good thing.
But just as Windsor was nervous, Daniel just showed a smile that was a little gloomy in the eyes of others. "Knowledge and technology know no boundaries. Everyone has the right to enjoy the advancement of technology. Our prototype of the magical engine was hammered out by manpower in the beginning."
Gwen looked at Daniel seriously and smiled. "Everyone has the right to enjoy the advancement of technology … You are right."
It seemed that the verbal 'confrontation' on the sensitive topic with Daniel was just an insignificant chat.
Windsor Mabel heaved a sigh of relief.
Carmel floated by the side with an expressionless face. Daniel and Gawain maintained their smiles. Mary tried her best to lower her head and reduce her presence. Amber, who was behind them, seemed to be in a trance. Everyone was well aware of certain things. Only Lady Windsor Mabel was seriously nervous for a long time, and then seriously relaxed in one breath.
Gawain almost felt guilty about this. Fortunately, he overcame this small psychological hurdle in time and quickly became calm.
After a simple introduction and greeting, they did not continue to waste time on the red tape.
Gwen came to the portal that led to the divine kingdom of the God of War.
The mirror-like circular spatial passage was firmly constrained in the middle of the portal platform. The passage reflected the scene on the other side. In the open square shrouded by the gray sky, Gwen saw the settlement facilities set up by the explorers, as well as the towering walls and palaces in the distance.
Kamel floated beside him. "After a few days of exploration and advancement, we have successfully set up several supply stations in the divine kingdom. With the help of the magic provided by these supply stations, our exploration team has roughly explored the temple area, the arena area, and the square area. These areas are the 'stable areas' of the divine kingdom. At the edge of the stable areas are the 'borders' that are constantly collapsing. They are slowly collapsing toward the center of the divine kingdom. We still know little about the nature of the borders.
"We have sent the results of our exploration to the Theocratic Council. Every member of the council will share the results according to the agreement.
"Also, due to the unique 'no interference' condition in the divine kingdom of the God of War, we have set up many experimental devices in the arena in the hinterland of the divine kingdom to study the nature of magic. You should have received the report on this on the way."
"Yes, I received it when I was in North Harbor." Gawain nodded with a solemn expression. "You have finally verified the nature of the waves of magic power. The significance of this matter is even as significant as the matter of 'mortals entering the divine kingdom.'"
"We have not only verified the nature of magic waves," Kamel said in a serious tone. "Madam 'Tower' has also discovered something more incredible, disturbing, and confusing in the process."
"I have also received a message from her." Gwen nodded slowly. He recalled the countless questions and speculations that came to his mind after he arrived at North Harbor and received Mirmina's message. All of these eventually converged into a frown and a low voice. "She said that after she understood the nature of magic, she had briefly entered a very strange 'self-state' and saw the 'explanation' of the world from an incredible perspective. She said that not only did she intuitively see the waves of magic, but she also 'saw' the wave characteristics of everything in the world and the vague boundary between matter and magic. But she also said that she could not explain this process in detail because her 'perspective' … could not be accurately described in words or language."
"Yes, that's what she told us." Kamel nodded gently. "Madam Windsor, Mr. Daniel, and I are very concerned about Madam 'Tower's' discovery, but we have no clue."
"… There will always be a clue." Gawain exhaled softly. "I'll have a good talk with our senior consultant when I get back. As for now … let's go take a look at what you found at the edge of the divine kingdom."
As Gwen's voice trailed off, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the teleportation portal in the center of the platform.
Amber stared at the mirror-like circular area. After a moment, she could not help but gulp. "I'm starting to get a little nervous …"
"Even I'm nervous, but I'm more looking forward to it." Modir, who had been quiet for a long time, finally could not help but break the silence. He had not spoken because in his mind, those who stood here were 'the big shots who were changing the direction of the world'. He felt that as an adventurer who had lost his memory, it was best for him not to speak in such an academic setting. But now that the journey to the divine kingdom was about to begin, the great adventurer finally could not help but get excited. "I even prepared a blank notebook for today …"
