It was indeed a simple and straightforward name.
But many of Cecil's things were so simple and straightforward. And behind these simplicity and straightforwardness were either convenience and practicality or great power.
Maggie now liked this unique 'Cecil style' a little.
"You can transform now," Rebecca retreated to a safe distance and said to Maggie with a smile. "Don't worry, this place is very spacious. I have specially reserved a space outside the shed for you to go in, out, and take off."
Maggie nodded and closed her eyes slightly.
The power from the bloodline began to flow in her body, and the magic power began to reshape her flesh and blood, and began to break the boundary between matter and element. A curtain of flowing light shrouded the body of the dragon descendant, and then the curtain expanded rapidly, almost in the blink of an eye, expanded to a range of more than ten meters, and in the swaying of the curtain, a faint giant dragon wing flashed past.
After the light dissipated, Maggie, in the form of a black dragon, appeared in front of everyone.
Even though they had seen it more than once, Rebecca and her technical team were still amazed by this incredible change. The power and mystery of the dragon fascinated these technical staff, and these white-robed researchers could not help but come closer, and once again exclaimed the power of the 'dragon' in unison.
"How did this come about?" "Is such a huge body structure filled with magic power?" "The extra weight is a mystery..." "Where did the human-form belongings go?"
Of course, of course, the researchers' exclamations of the Giant Dragon were, of course, professional.
Maggie shook her head and helplessly listened to the discussions around her. After getting familiar with each other, these people simply did not keep their voices down when discussing similar issues.
She recalled that not long ago, she would have been embarrassed by these discussions and even a little offended. But after such a long time, she had long realized that the people around Rebecca were just overly focused researchers. They did not mean to offend her, but their EQ was not high. That was why every single one of them was single.
She hoped that these overly curious people would continue to be single.
Maggie muttered in her heart, and her huge head covered with hard keratin lowered to Rebecca. "How should I wear this?"
"Stand over there on the pedestal -- see those red patches? Those are the positioning points for your limbs. "Rebecca pointed to a spot not far away." Just spread your wings and leave the rest to us. "
Maggie followed Rebecca's instructions and came to the platform. After standing firm, she calmed herself down and slowly opened her pair of wings that were born with a genetic defect.
She suddenly felt a little nervous. She felt her heart pounding in her chest, and she could even hear the sound of her heartbeat.
The sound of chains and rails moving was accompanied by the sound of a heartbeat. The sound of metal colliding and rubbing was also heard. The magicians and mechanical scholars were constantly controlling the surrounding suspension machines. The pair of cold and imposing black steel wings slowly approached. With a cold touch, they stuck to Maggie's wings.
There were already mechanical scholars standing on the hanging beam in the air. As soon as the Steel Wings were in place, they immediately moved the beam forward and began to use all sorts of tools to fit the buckles and fasteners of the massive equipment into place, locking them in place one by one.
The sound of metal colliding and the shaking of chains rang out, and Maggie slowly calmed down. She suddenly felt like a Knight who was about to set foot on the battlefield. These respectable technicians were using advanced machinery to arm a Giant Dragon, and for the Giant Dragon, this was her new armor.
"Hey, Maggie, this set of equipment is a little heavy! So we have to use a lot of fasteners to ensure that it can be fixed to your body, mainly at the roots of the wings and the back and abdomen. "Rebecca stood under the platform, looked up and said loudly," Do you feel uncomfortable? "
"It's very easy." Maggie lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice, "For a dragon, the burden is probably not much different from that of a human wearing a thin leather armor. And I even have a suggestion — you can punch some special bone pieces and scales on my shoulder blades and upper edges of my wings and directly fix them with bolts. The effect should be better this way. "
Rebecca continued to shout, "Oh my God — what a terrible thing you said!"
"But in fact, it doesn't hurt at all. Many of our corneous structures and exoskeleton structures don't feel anything, just like human nails."
Rebecca's excited voice came from below. "Okay! I'll think about it next time! "
"The attachment of the wings is complete!" A mechanical scholar standing on the command platform shouted loudly, interrupting the conversation between Rebecca and Maggie. "Start connecting the back armor, breastplate, and auxiliary protective gear!"
More sliding rails and bearings began to rotate. The black steel armor that was tailor-made for Maggie began to be assembled on her body piece by piece. The belly armor that was used to support the defensive shield, the back armor that was used to carry the backup energy unit, and the underneck armor that carried a large number of test instruments were installed one by one.
Maggie looked at the dazzling equipment being hung on her body one by one. She could see the purpose of some of them, and she could only guess the purpose of some of them, and she could not even guess what they were for. As a device with a sharp horn gradually approached her chin, she finally could not help but ask, "Rebecca, what is this thing on my chin? Why can't I see any rune structure on it? "
Rebecca looked up and scratched her head. "Actually, I don't know. My ancestor saw my design and specially added it, saying that it is the symbol of the black dragon."
"Do black dragons have such a symbol …" Maggie mumbled in confusion. While she was mumbling, the black armor made of steel had been installed on her lower jaw.
"It may be a strange-looking mask, or it may be an iron chin," Maggie muttered in her heart.
Then she put her doubts aside. Since it was His Majesty Gwen's arrangement, there must be a purpose. The legendary hero's wisdom and vision were beyond imagination. A person (dragon) like her, who was not good at planning, should just follow his orders.
As for now, she was ready to go.
"All the locks are in place. The steel wings are mounted!" the mechanical scholar on the platform shouted. "You can fly now!"
Maggie raised her head and felt her heart beating faster again.
Rebecca looked excited. She turned around and shouted, "Open the door!"
The magic mechanism drove the heavy gears and levers. The alloy door of the shed creaked. The sunlight from the outside shone into the special "Giant Dragon Arms Workshop" through the door. Maggie quickly calmed herself down and then stepped down the platform, carrying the steel armor on her heavy body. She walked to the door step by step.
Facing the sunlight, she narrowed her eyes slightly. The clear blue sky sparkled in her line of sight.
"Do you remember the control method I told you before?" Rebecca's voice came from the ground. "Nothing has changed! Most of the functions are just to make up for the missing runes on your wings. You don't need to be distracted to control them! For the first test flight, you just need to pay attention to the balance of the power output of the wings and the overall feeling of weight! "
"I will!"
"Good! Take off! Maggie! "
A gust of wind rolled up at the right time, blowing on the black dragon's hard scales and open wings. Feeling the touch of the air flow on the surface of her body, Maggie directly activated the magic capacitor set at the root of her wings with her talent of magic control.
The surging magic energy was immediately guided and injected into the steel wings. Along the edge of her original wings, the surface of the additional metal skeleton quickly spread a fine stream of light. The runes on the surface of the metal parts lit up one by one, resonating with Maggie's own pair of broken and deformed wings.
The innately missing Draconic runes were completed in an instant. A feeling of being able to control the elements and the sky that she had never experienced before welled up in Maggie's heart.
This feeling reminded her of the leap from the Dragon Leaping Cliff many years ago.
She took two steps forward, but her body almost lost balance and fell because of the unprecedented lightness. The chaotic airflow circled around her, making it hard for her to open her eyes.
Rebecca's loud voice came from behind. "Maggie! Take it slow! Don't rush! Take one step at a time, and then fly! "
The black dragon took a deep breath, adjusted the balance of her body again, and called for magic power again.
This was not difficult. Dragons were supposed to soar in the blue sky. The ability to fly should be as simple as eating and drinking for every dragon.
Maggie took another step, spread her wings, ran for a short distance, and then suddenly soared into the sky.
Since she was young, she had tried this thousands of times and fell thousands of times.
This time, she didn't fall.
The whistling wind blew in her face, and then swept back by the invisible magic field. Maggie finally opened her eyes, only to see that the earth was moving back under her feet, and the magic power gathered around her, lifting her higher and higher into the sky.
This was a completely different experience from riding the Dragon Knight. It was even different from gliding from the Dragon Leaping Cliff, and different from flying with the help of the storm summoned by Victoria.
This was the feeling of flying to the blue sky with her own wings.
Maggie suddenly wanted to cheer. This was even contrary to her calm and steady temperament in front of people for many years, but … anyway, there were no outsiders here.
A low dragon's roar came from the sky. Many frightened birds flew out from the nearby forest and fluttered in the air.
Rebecca looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled to the people next to her. "She seems very happy!"
...
The vast fields and forests receded from her sight, and even the clouds seemed to be within reach. Wrapped in magic power, Margie stretched her wings to her heart's content. On the outer edge of her congenitally deformed wings, the flight assistance device made of magic alloy and steel frame shone brightly in the sunlight.
The dragon descendants would definitely be interested in this thing, especially the young ones and the friends she knew.
Maggie thought with great certainty. She even felt that this thing might move the stubborn senators and elders, and the dignified Grand Duke Balogel.
Perhaps Tarlonde's "Superior Dragons" had more power than this, or perhaps this flying technology was not in the eyes of the real Dragons. But for the deformed Dragons, this was something that could change their fate.
Maggie adjusted her flying posture, thinking about how to negotiate with her people, and began to try more functions of this set of equipment, and began to try more challenging flying movements.
All of a sudden, she felt a little out of place.
Something seemed to have fallen off in the middle of her left wing, or maybe there was a rune meltdown. The sudden balance disorder made her tilt, and then she fell rapidly.
A thought flashed through Maggie's mind. New technology always had a lot of failures.
The next second, she began to adjust her balance and tried to regain her flying posture.
When she was testing the Dragon Knight, she had crashed more than once. From the very beginning, she was mentally prepared for all kinds of problems with the test machine. The imbalance at this moment only made her panic for a moment. As a senior "test pilot," she was already experienced with "crashes."
After struggling to adjust her balance a few times, she found that she could no longer take off. The only choice seemed to be to glide and make a forced landing.
Maggie forced herself to calm down and began to try her best to maintain her flying posture. She spread her wings and tried to glide, but it was much more difficult than before. The steel "armor" was not a big burden under normal circumstances, but it was obviously troublesome during forced landing. She bore this strange weight, felt the crazy airflow, and tried her best to avoid the end of a vertical fall. The town below and the Whitewater River not far away were clearly visible.
Maggie kept adjusting the angle of her wings to make herself deviate from the direction of the town and fall toward the river as far as possible.
At least, there would be no casualties … and she should not be too seriously injured. Although hitting the water at high speed would also bring a terrible impact, it was better than falling on the hard ground. With the physique of Dragons, plus the deceleration all the way … it was an acceptable injury.
Maggie quickly finished the balance in her mind. The next second, the Whitewater River was already in front of her.
Tyre sensed that something in the air seemed to be approaching at high speed. She, who was about to soak in the water for an afternoon nap, could not help but poke her head out and look up at the sky.
A huge black shadow came crashing down from the sky.
The last thing Tyre saw was a blurred iron jaw due to the high-speed approach.
"Oh my God — Gah —"
Cecil's second year, 12th of the Month of Recovery.
The prototype of the Steel Wings took off.
Dragonborn test pilot Maggie drove the Steel Wings for an hour and was forced to land at the Whitewater River due to mechanical failure.
Siren Tyre was stabbed to death by the iron jaw falling from the sky (1/1).
