Melita left.
The Refractive Field covered the huge body of the Giant Dragon, and a gust of wind suddenly swept through the sky above Cecil City. In the background of the clouds and the skylight, there were faint ripples that flashed past. However, other than a few strong people and the sentry tower that was dedicated to detecting invisible magic units, no one knew that a Giant Dragon had once visited this city.
Gwen stood in front of the gate of the Magic Engineering Research Institute and looked up in the direction that Melita left. After a long time, he finally looked away.
The Reverse Tide Empire … The Book of Ultimate … The knowledge stolen from the satellites …
He carefully recalled the newly collected information and outlined the outline of the gods and ancient history in his mind. After a long time of thinking, he shook his head with a smile and looked back at the Magic Engineering Research Institute behind him.
Hundreds of researchers were busy in this facility, and more than a dozen large and small laboratories and project teams were operating here. In the mental network, the Origin Laboratory had hundreds of simulation experiments every day. In the workshop of the Machinery Manufacturing Institute, the collision of gears and levers was non-stop. In Saint Sunil, in Louan City, in the Mage Association, and the Scholar Association, countless people full of wisdom and knowledge were gathering to reassemble the profound knowledge that was scattered in human society and recreate the broken ancient technology …
All of this was pushed forward by thousands of people. It was pushed forward by the entire Cecil Society. It originated from people and was used by people. It wasn't a technology that fell from the sky from the ruins of aliens. It wasn't a blueprint drawn by anyone in the territory. It wasn't a miracle, and it wasn't a gift.
…
The Giant Dragon flew through the vast clear winter sky, and the Refractive Field gradually dissipated. The clouds and sunlight cast mottled shadows on the blue scales, and the scenery of the wilderness and hills were projected in the crystal-like eyeballs. This powerful king of the sky circled twice in the air, then lowered her head and rushed toward the ground like a meteor.
After a thrilling glide and deceleration, the blue dragon crashed into a hundred-year-old giant tree and broke the hundred-meter-tall giant tree in half. Then, the unbalanced body rolled forward in a series of earth-shaking impact and rolling. Thunderous noises continued to ring out. Countless giant trees and solid rocks were torn apart by the impact, and a deep ravine nearly half a kilometer long was plowed out of the ground.
The Blue Dragon finally stopped at the bottom of a cliff. After half a minute of panting, she struggled to support her head. Countless rocks and branches fell from her body, and several terrible wounds flowed with hot and glimmering blood.
The implants and modified glands in the Giant Dragon's body immediately began to work, and began to repair this powerful and tough body. Melita raised her head, and the scales near her neck opened like some kind of heat dissipation device. Under the scales, a metallic lining and glowing pipes and interfaces were exposed. Hot steam spewed out from the gaps of these implants, and the Blue Dragon could not help but groan.
"Damn it … I don't like boosters … but the auxiliary heart that I'm using now is a limited edition …"
Melita muttered, her voice rumbling. But still, she took out a huge gun-shaped syringe from nowhere. She held the syringe with her front claws and pierced the front end deep into the gap of the scales below her neck. With the hissing sound of the syringe releasing pressure, a liter of powerful compound booster and the same amount of regeneration agent were injected into her blood vessels. Her two auxiliary hearts that were on the verge of tearing finally eased.
The extra three hearts and the bionic pump under the scales could greatly increase the endurance and survivability of Dragons who needed to travel long distances. But in any case, talking about the Black Trap with the aliens, and also indirectly reminding her of the taboo knowledge of the gods … was really too exciting.
Melita took deep breaths to calm down the side effects of the overdose of the booster. Even though there were some dragons who enjoyed this feeling and even had the problem of becoming addicted to the booster, she was still not used to it.
After feeling a little better, she closed the scales around her neck and hid the implants again.
In the Giant Dragon society of Tarlonde, implants and boosters had long been a part of the life of Dragons. The newborn Dragons even had to undergo their first implant surgery in the first ten years of their lives — a resonant core implanted in the skull. This resonant core would establish a connection between the user and the "Omega", so that the young Dragons could communicate with the powerful artificial intelligence, and the latter would complete the knowledge education and behavioral guidance of the young Dragons. Therefore, it could be said that any normal Tarlonde citizen of the Giant Dragon had implants in their body.
However, some Dragons chose to expose their implants to the outside world, such as President Andal. Some Dragons preferred to hide their implants, such as Melita Pânia.
After resting for another ten minutes, Melita stood up. The bleeding wounds on her body had healed, and flying was no longer a problem. Although she wanted to rest for a while, she knew that her colleagues who were monitoring the situation behind were probably in a mess.
The blue dragon rose into the air and soon reached a height where she could directly communicate with Tarlonde.
Although she could contact Tarlonde on the surface, all communications at that height would be heard by the Dragon God. Only at the end of the sky, close to the "Voyager" legacy, the communication would not be monitored by any gods.
It would be the same even if the person on the other side of the communication was standing on the ground, at the door of the god's palace. A million years had passed, and the Voyager's power was still there.
A pale golden communication interface appeared before Melita. While maintaining her altitude, she called the Mithril Vault headquarters in the distance. "Melita Pânia calling for backup team. Melita Pânia calling for backup team. Pick up! I am now in the stratosphere with a level ten disability. Do you hear me?! "
Finally, a panicked voice came from the communication interface. "Melita! This is Noretta. What's the situation over there? Your implant suddenly reported that two of your four hearts have exploded! And you have injected yourself with three doses of booster! "
Melita took a deep breath. "Phew … They did not explode. I used the regenerative agent to save them. But the sensor should be broken … It's okay. I can still feel them beating."
Hearing Melita's voice, Noretta, who was far away in Tarlonde, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was in the mood to joke. "What's wrong with you? Did the client find out that you embezzled the gift? Which legendary champion beat you up on the ground? "
"I was talking to Gwen Cecil about the Black Trap and the Tidetide Empire," Melita said faintly. "I accidentally said a few more words."
As expected, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground and several cries of surprise through the communication device.
Melita couldn't help but smirk at the chaos that she had caused.
Her friend's exclamation came from the pale golden communication interface. "Melita! You are crazy! Do you want to die? "
"Aren't I still alive?"
"What the hell is going on?" Noretta seemed to have finally calmed down and sensed something strange from Melita's tone. "You can rest assured that Omega has intervened. Speaker Andal is on the line."
"Gwen Cecil has obtained a Book of Ultimate made by the Tidetide Empire. Don't exclaim yet, it is damaged," Melita said slowly. "Also, without my deliberate guidance, he has concluded one of the core laws of 'disobedience'."
There was a long silence on the other side of the communication. Then a voice came. "Which one?"
"Man takes over the divine power with his wisdom," Melita said. "The baby that crawls out of the cradle needs to use his own hands and feet …"
Speaker Andal's dignified voice came from the communication channel. "Okay, you don't have to go down."
Even in this place close to the Voyager's legacy, at this height away from the eyes and ears of the gods, there were some taboos that needed to be taken care of.
Melita stopped this dangerous topic. Then, under the questioning of Noretta and Speaker Andal, she reported in detail the meeting with Gwen Cecil today.
After the report, she heard Speaker Andal let out a long sigh.
It was a sigh of relief.
The Giant Dragon elder who had lived for a long time asked in a deep voice, "Melita, in your opinion, how far have the ordinary people of the Cecil Empire gone?"
Melita's answer was very direct. "Most of them are still ignorant and backward. Their minds and bodies are controlled by the old ideas of royalty and theocracy. They are just mechanically obeying the orders of the Government Office. They are not really enlightening the people and acting on their own. Although Gwen Cecil has been desperately promoting education, it is obvious that this is not a problem that can be solved in four or five years."
Speaker Andal's voice seemed to be a little low. "Yes, that's true. This is not something that can be solved in a few years …"
"But we can't ignore the changes that have happened," Melita continued. "Indeed, it takes time for most people to change, but all kinds of sprouts have indeed appeared in this land. In other words, the accumulation of the land itself has reached a critical point. The emergence of Gwen Cecil has only accelerated this process and effectively gathered these sprouts to prevent them from quietly disappearing into the darkness. These sprouts include doubts about theocracy, the pursuit of rationality, and the understanding of the laws of nature. Now Gwen is playing their role in the right way, so the transformation of Cecil society may be faster than we expected."
After a short silence, Speaker Andal's voice sounded in a low voice. "You seem to have extraordinary confidence in Gwen Cecil and the order he has created."
Melita's answer was still calm. "I have seen a change in this land that has not happened for thousands of years."
"I hope your judgment is correct." Speaker Andal said in a low voice.
After the speaker's voice trailed off, Noretta's voice interrupted. "But no matter what, leaving the relics of the Tidetide Empire in human society is still risky. Melita, I think you'd better take back the book. Tarlonde can make some compensation, and Gwen Cecil wouldn't mind selling it to the Giant Dragon, right?"
Melita shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Speaker Andal's voice again. "Noretta, trust Melita's judgment on this matter."
"But …"
"Noretta, are you more stubborn than an old person like me?"
Noretta paused for a moment. "I understand, Mr. Speaker."
This matter had finally come to an end. Melita could not help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
She had challenged the rules and faced too many shocking messages today. Now that she thought about it, she felt like she had been on the verge of death for a few hours.
Such an exciting job … It could only be said that dealing with Gwen Cecil was not good for the heart.
It was not good in the physiological sense.
"Melita, after finishing the work at hand, return to Tarlonde first." White Dragon Noretta's voice came from the other side of the communicator. "Your implant needs to be repaired, and your physical condition after the backfire also needs to be checked carefully."
"I know, you don't have to tell me. I'm in so much pain now." Melita said while taking in a breath of cold air. "I'll find a place to rest for a day or two later. I'll return to Tarlonde after I recover my strength."
"Roger that. I wish you all the best."
"I've received your blessings."
After the call ended, the pale golden communication interface turned into shimmering particles and gradually dissipated in the air.
Melita took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the cold air in the sky, and then slowly exhaled.
Accompanied by the dull pain in her muscles and bones, she began to slowly descend.
The land of Cecil's Empire was more and more clearly reflected in her huge pupils.
Mountains and rivers, forests and plains, cities and villages, as well as countless people living on this land.
"A change that has never happened in a thousand years … I hope I'm not mistaken …"
The Refractive Field spread over the scales, and the dragon's figure gradually disappeared in the illusion created by magic. The invisible dragon's shadow swept across the sky, and on the ground that was swept by the wind, caravans loaded with supplies were setting off, immigrants full of hope were settling down, and teams with high morale were gathering …
