The two beams of light above the Contract Castle were still brightly illuminating the sky. As the giant sun set below the horizon, the two beams of light were particularly eye-catching in the dark sky, like two sharp swords that pierced through the darkness. They were clearly visible for several kilometers around the Contract Castle.
These two beams of light might indeed represent two sharp swords — the sharp swords of Ansu and Typhon. And now, these two sharp swords were negotiating for peace.
The secret meeting between the King and the Emperor had come to an end, and the general tone had been set in the confrontation between the two rulers. No one knew what they had said in the secret meeting, but since the formal negotiations were to be held after nightfall, it meant that everything was generally going according to plan.
After the formal negotiations began, Silas Mandela began to speak. Duke Loren was the highest guardian of the eastern border of the kingdom, as well as the number one enforcer on the border. Loren entered the long hall and sat behind the king. From this position, he could see Andesha Andesha sitting opposite him. As for Wendell, he could also see the legendary ruler of Typhon, Emperor Rosetta.
Rosetta? Augustus was wearing a black coat with golden edges. This could almost be described as plain, but it did not affect the intimidating aura of the Emperor of Typhon at all. He sat directly opposite Francis II with a limited smile on his slightly gloomy and thin face. Duke Loren felt like he was a predator that lived in the shadows. Although this predator came under the light, he still carried a shadow that could not be dispersed. He smiled in the light, but it was as if there was another face hidden in the darkness at all times.
On the other hand, Francis II only had a calm smile on his face. The old king's eyes didn't seem to have the slightest pressure, but his gaze never left Rosetta the Great. His steady and powerful voice entered Duke Loren's ears. "It has been seven hundred years since the ancestors of the human countries crossed the wasteland and established a new country at the edge of the continent. We have enjoyed seven hundred years of peace, but every one of us knows very well that the wasteland hasn't receded in the slightest in these seven hundred years. Just as many scholars have warned, even though we are very peaceful now, our peace is only separated by a wall from the disaster of extinction."
"This wall was built by the elves, but it is not as permanent and reliable as we thought," Rosetta Augustus said. He nodded slightly, agreeing with Francis II's words. "Now there is clear evidence that the monsters in the Wasteland have the ability to cross the barrier. This is a common threat."
"So we are here, just like the ancestors of seven hundred years ago, to unite and find a way to fight this threat together," Francis II said solemnly, raising his hand and pointing to the sky. "Our ancestors are watching us from the kingdom of the gods. Under the gaze and witness of our ancestors, it is time to put aside the meaningless greed and disputes and seek the path of peace together."
In the night sky, within the range illuminated by two bright beams of light, a swift and small bird flew through the light beams, chirping as it flew to a higher place.
It flew higher and higher, and in just a few breaths, it had ascended into the clouds, flying to a place where the human eye could not reach. Whether it was the speed of its flight or the height at which it stopped, this little bird had surpassed the concept of an ordinary "bird". However, at this height, and in the night, the sentries on the ground could not see this scene that defied common sense.
The bird turned over in the air, and suddenly the magic airflow quickly wrapped its entire body and tore the surrounding clouds into pieces. In the magic airflow filled with pale blue light, a huge body quickly emerged from the air and gradually condensed into a solid body. Hard blue scales, a slender and elegant neck, and huge wings that covered the sky. As these things emerged, the former "bird" had transformed into a Giant Dragon.
The Giant Dragon flexibly adjusted its flying posture in the air. Its wings were floating with the brilliance of magic, and it was using magic instead of aerodynamics to bend its heavy body into a sharp angle in the air. In its huge golden vertical pupils, the two beams of light from the Covenant Fortress on the ground were still reflected.
The Giant Dragon took a last look at the Covenant Fortress, then suddenly flapped its wings and continued to rapidly increase its altitude until it flew to a height that no mortal creature could reach before it glided on the edge of the atmosphere.
At this height, the faint arc of the earth could almost be seen.
After gliding for a moment, a pale golden light appeared in front of the Giant Dragon, and it quickly unfolded into a crystal-like curved screen. On the screen, complex curves and constantly refreshed runes were jumping. When the jumping curves gradually stabilized, the Giant Dragon spoke. It was a dignified and low female voice. "Reached the height of signal transmission. Beginning observation.
"The two human countries, Ansu and Typhon, have begun peace negotiations. The location of the negotiations is the Covenant Fortress at the border of the two countries. It has now entered the substantive stage …
"No abnormal surge of magic is found on the continent. Since the last time the mutants invaded the two countries, no more mutants have been found in the north.
"The magic environment at the top of the atmosphere is still stable … for the time being."
The lines and runes on the curved screen trembled. A moment later, a response was heard. Despite the whistling of the surrounding air, the voice was still clear. "Don't forget the rules. Don't get involved in the affairs of the mortal countries. Unless they have shown enough variables, or have come into contact with the legacy of the voyager, the Giant Dragon is not allowed to step into the world."
"Don't worry, the lesson of the 'Rebellion of the Tide', I got full marks in my history class." The blue-scaled Giant Dragon responded to the voice on the other side of the screen in a brisk tone. "I was sent out as an observer. The council must have trusted me."
"… They actually regretted it on the third day after they sent you out. You actually went to burn the human land." The voice on the other side of the screen suddenly became a little frantic. "And I don't understand. Did the council really not know that you have a problem with your eyesight? How did you get the qualification to be an observer? "
"An observer doesn't have to see with the naked eye." The blue Giant Dragon snorted discontentedly. "I am more familiar with the human world than any other dragon in the country. Based on this, the council had to let me out —"
As she spoke, the blue Giant Dragon suddenly turned her neck awkwardly. "She" kept gliding but tried to lift her head and look at the dense bright stars in the night sky.
The voice on the other side of the screen began to grumble again, but the blue dragon interrupted its companion. "Speaking of which, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I felt like someone was looking at me from the beginning …"
"Someone is watching you?" The voice on the other side of the screen was full of surprise. "Where are you now? Who can see you? "
"At the height of signal transmission, the top of the atmosphere." The blue dragon looked up awkwardly again and kept changing the direction of its glide as if it was trying to avoid the sight that was following it like a shadow. "I don't know what's going on. The sight seems to be coming from above."
"Above? You … don't talk nonsense. The Voyager has been gone for millions of years! Are you sure someone is watching you from above? "
Listening to the voice message from her companion, the blue Giant Dragon tried to look up at the sky again, but in the clear, star-studded night sky, there was no sign of the Voyager. There was neither the legendary engine flash that looked like falling stars, nor the mesmerizing halo when the stargate opened, nor the brilliant flash of the space channel cutting through the night sky. The stars just hung quietly in the night sky, as they had been since ancient times.
"It must be an illusion," the blue Giant Dragon mumbled. "How could the Voyager come back?"
"… You scared me so much that my scales changed color!" The voice on the other side of the screen seemed to be relieved, but with a hint of complaint. "Well, the communication is over. You continue with your mission. The next communication time will be the same. "
The communication was over, and the projection in the air before the blue Giant Dragon disappeared, but the feeling of being watched from above still lingered on the Giant Dragon.
"… Who is so wicked to open the Mage's Eye in the stratosphere?!" A moment later, the Giant Dragon finally got angry, and then she suddenly flapped her huge wings. Driven by a violent magic wind, her huge body began to turn violently in the air. "I can't knock you out with a roundhouse maneuver … Ah … Ah … Ah … Ah … Cramp … Cramp … Cramp … Cramp … Cramp …"
In Cecil's territory, Gwen ended the connection with the satellite.
He was observing the contracting castle. After the first surveillance at noon, he rested for a while in the afternoon and continued to do it after dinner.
Although after regaining the authority to adjust the satellite's perspective, he found that the clarity of the surveillance picture had decreased a lot, and it was no longer as high definition as when he was in the "Satellite Spirit" state. But a real-time surveillance perspective still allowed him to observe the general situation of the border peace talks. So after the start of the negotiations, as long as he had time, he would keep an eye on the contracting castle.
Until just now, a Giant Dragon suddenly broke into his field of vision.
He was 100% sure that it was a Giant Dragon, and judging from the color of the scales and the general outline, he felt that the Giant Dragon was very similar to the Giant Dragon he saw in the old Cecil's territory when he just opened the coffin. But he was not sure if it was really the same one. After all, no one knew if the Giant Dragon's appearance and characteristics were the same.
After the Giant Dragon suddenly broke into his field of vision, Gwen's full attention was attracted. This was the second time he observed the appearance of the Giant Dragon after his "resurrection." The great curiosity even made him forget about the peace talks in the contracting castle. He immediately began to track the movements of the Giant Dragon, and temporarily put the matter of the contracting castle aside.
But it did not affect him much. After all, the contracting castle was blocked by the roof. The current satellite view did not have the ability to see through, so even if he continued to stare at the peace talks, he was just studying the roof.
He followed the Giant Dragon for more than ten minutes. In the second half of the tracking, Gwen was surprised to find one thing: the Giant Dragon actually felt his gaze!
The Giant Dragon frequently raised its head and changed its flight path. This was obviously aware that someone was spying on it.
But to Gwen's relief, the Giant Dragon did not seem to be able to do anything to the satellite in the sky. The behemoth was never out of his sight.
Until the end, the Giant Dragon finally got rid of the surveillance in a way that stunned Gwen. It was a thrilling high-speed continuous maneuver accompanied by a straight spiral dive to the ground.
In the face of such a completely unexpected and highly technical maneuver, Gwen's speed of adjusting his field of vision and focus was finally half a beat slower, and he lost the Giant Dragon.
