Fly over …
Hearing Melita's answer, Gwen narrowed his eyes subconsciously — this answer was within his expectations.
But he still looked at Melita from head to toe and asked, "Are you going to carry the three of us by yourself?"
Melita glanced at Gwen, as well as Amber and Veronica, who were standing beside Gwen, with a confident smile on her face. "Of course, for a healthy adult Dragon, this is not a burden to worry about."
As she spoke, she took a few steps back. Then, she looked around at the curious guards and the human officials who came to see her off. She opened her hands and said, "Then, please step back a little more. I need some space to release myself."
Gwen immediately waved his hand, and at the same time, he took Amber and Veronica and stepped back. Soon, the people at the scene made way for a wide open space that was enough for the Giant Dragon to take off and land. The agent walked to the center of the open space unhurriedly. She glanced around to make sure that there was enough space. Then, she took a deep breath. The next second, a surge of magic power gushed out!
With Melita as the center, a powerful force that was difficult for humans to control was released rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it formed into a magic light screen. Under everyone's surprised and curious gazes, the light screen that suddenly expanded began to rhythmically move, expand and contract, and gradually reformed itself. The original human silhouette quickly disappeared in the brilliant light, and a pair of gigantic dragon wings appeared in the light. A moment later, the light screen silently shattered, and the human form of Melita had disappeared. Standing on the spot, there was only a "head" of a blue dragon that was filled with a majestic aura.
There were several small gasps of surprise. Even though many of them had seen draconic descendants before, the shock of witnessing a real dragon changing form in front of them was completely different from witnessing a draconic descendant streaking across the sky. Even Rebecca, who was standing at the edge of the square, could not help but exclaim. She looked at the blue dragon in the center of the square, and then turned her head to poke Maggie, who was standing next to her, cautiously weakening her presence. "Hey, I took a closer look. This one is really much bigger than you …"
Maggie lowered her eyelids and said in a slightly low voice, "She is a real, healthy Dragon …"
Rebecca's tone immediately changed. "You are not bad either. You even have an iron chin. She doesn't have it."
Maggie was speechless.
The dragonborn maid still had her eyelids down, and it seemed that she was not much happier after hearing Rebecca's words …
"Although I have seen it once on the battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plain, I still have to say … The Giant Dragon is indeed an awe-inspiring creature." Gwen looked up at Melita, who was looking at him, and praised with a smile. "Those who have seen the Giant Dragon call you the natural masters of the sky. It is not unreasonable."
"Masters of the sky … No race can dominate the sky. Its vastness and depth is something that even the Giant Dragon has to respect." Melita shook her head. In the form of the Giant Dragon, although her voice was still female, it was as roaring as thunder. "So, three passengers, are you ready?"
"Wait a minute." Gwen waved his hand and at the same time summoned Solderin, who was on standby. When Solderin came closer, Gwen whispered to him. "Send the image of this place to the Imperial Defense Force and let the air defense station recognize it."
"Understood." Solderin nodded, and then could not help but look at the blue Giant Dragon not far away. He lowered his voice and said to Gwen, "By the way, don't forget to help me …"
Gwen glanced at the long blonde hair of the high-ranking ranger in front of him and suddenly became a little stupefied. "… I'll try my best."
Solderin took the order and left. Gwen turned around and came to Melita. The latter had obviously heard the conversation, which was lowered but not soundproof. The corner of her mouth curled up, revealing a few fangs (it was most likely a smile). "It seems that I have to be more careful when flying over your empire. I hope your air defense station is not specifically targeting me and my colleagues. We have always been friendly and lawful."
"Of course, the Dragons are our friends." Gwen laughed. "But we have many enemies, and everyone's technology is improving. We have no choice but to create new things to protect ourselves."
As he spoke, he looked at Melita's back in her Giant Dragon form. As an epic creature whose wings could almost cover half of the square, the Giant Dragon's back was extremely wide. Even without the rugged horny structure, the flat scales were more than enough to accommodate passengers and even luggage.
Melita noticed Gwen's gaze and asked curiously, "What are you looking at? Is there anything else we need to prepare? "
Gwen rubbed his chin and said, "Everything is ready … I remember you said that we can bring some necessary luggage?"
"Of course," Melita nodded and said in a thunderous voice, "It's not a problem for you to bring more with you. As I said before, to an adult and healthy dragon, you and your luggage are not much of a burden. But if it's for daily necessities, you don't have to bring too many. I can fly very fast, and we will arrive at Tarlonde in a day. We have prepared a suitable living environment for our guests there. "
"As long as you can bring the luggage. Don't worry, it's not for daily necessities, just some 'equipment'. "Gwen nodded and turned to the attendants not far away." Bring it over. "
Melita looked curiously at the busy humans, wondering what they were going to do. Soon she saw two arcanotech cars coming out from behind the low wall next to the courtyard. The attendants stepped forward and skillfully pulled down the tarps on the back of the cars. When she saw what was exposed under the tarps, her eyes widened in surprise.
There were several huge arcanotech devices, and they looked quite heavy. They gleamed with crystal and steel under the sun, and looked new and advanced. Melita did not know what they were for, but she could roughly tell that one of the devices was similar to a large magic network terminal, and it was obviously a special model. She had never seen a terminal like it when she was traveling in this country.
Miss Blue Dragon could not help but raise an eyebrow. "Interesting …"
"These are some test equipment." Gwen did not hide the function of these devices. After all, he was going to fix these things on Melita's back. Even if he had gotten her permission, he still felt a little guilty. So he was very sincere. "We hope to take this opportunity to collect some ocean and atmospheric data outside the continent. Of course, that is if it will not cause you any trouble. "
"There's nothing to worry about," Melita said casually. "Anyway, we have to bring something. There's no difference between putting a pile of steel and a few tons of stones on my back … I just didn't expect you to bring just some test equipment."
"Then what did you think we were going to bring?" Gwen asked curiously.
"I'm even mentally prepared for you to put a set of tables, chairs, and even a cabin on my back." Melita shook her head slightly and said in a relaxed tone. "This will make the journey more comfortable. Humans have always been creatures who know how to enjoy life. And you, as a human in a high position, should know how to enjoy life more."
Hearing Melita's casual words, Gwen was stunned. He really did not think about what she said!
In his opinion, it was a little too whimsical, and it was not appropriate with his worldview. "Fixing a set of tables and chairs … I think it's a little disrespectful to you …"
"But I don't think it's a big deal," Melita said casually. "There's no difference between putting these 'test equipment' on my back and putting other things on it."
Gwen thought for a moment, and to be honest, at this moment, he really did have the idea of being lazy. But he quickly shook his head. "No, it's not necessary. I still think it's not appropriate. Anyway, it's just a journey of less than a day …"
As soon as his voice trailed off, he heard Amber whispering beside him. "Actually, I think it's okay …"
Gwen immediately turned his head and glared at the half-elf. The latter shrunk her neck and said, "Of course, it's okay if you don't want to …"
Melita saw it all, but she did not say anything. She even had a little smile on her face. Although the smile might look a little sinister to others, she was actually in a good mood. "So, is there anything else? If not, you can start transferring these things to my back. Don't worry about fixing them. It's just a little spell for me. "
Gwen immediately said that there was no problem. Then, under the coordination of a senior squire, the on-site staff began to transfer the 'test equipment' one by one onto the back of the blue Giant Dragon with the help of anti-gravity runes, traction spells, and the power of the Evocative Hand.
While doing this, the people in charge of the installation were obviously a little nervous. However, with Melita's friendly cooperation, the entire process proceeded smoothly to the end.
When the last installation staff left her back, Melita moved her body slightly. The large equipment fixed on her back was stable and did not shake at all.
"It feels quite light, lighter than I thought," she said. "Compared to that, the bombs that I helped you transport were heavier."
The corners of Gawain's mouth curled up into an awkward but polite smile when he heard the other party mention the matter casually. Then, he coughed twice. "It's our turn now."
Melita used the corner of her eye to confirm the position of Gwen and the rest. Then, she adjusted her posture slightly and pressed one of her giant wings lower. The broad dragon wings covered with hard scales formed a gentle ramp that connected the ground of the square to the towering dragon's back. The blue dragon lady smiled and said briefly, "Please."
They were about to go to Tarlonde …
Gwen looked up and glanced at the 'ramp' in front of him. After a very short moment of pondering, he strode up the 'ramp'.
Amber and Veronica followed closely behind.
The three grand governors, Heti, Victoria, and Bodwin, stood not far away. The senior officials of the government office who came to see them off stood behind them. Everyone craned their necks and looked at the scene without blinking. Some of them used the magic network terminal to record this precious image. Some wanted to go up but were stopped by the people next to them.
Gwen looked back. He was already standing very high and could look down on everyone.
In this situation, it seemed that he should say something to encourage or comfort the people, to say that he would come back safely, or to say that he would achieve some brilliant results in this visit. This was the standard procedure of a hero's' expedition '. But Gwen thought carefully and decided that it was best not to say anything.
His experience of watching movies in his previous life told him that it was easy to die outside if he said too much.
So, he just raised his arm and waved at everyone.
The Giant Dragon soared into the sky.
… …
Tarlonde. At the top of the highest sanctuary, a gorgeous golden balcony was bathing in the starlight for the next six months.
An elegant figure with long golden hair stood at the end of the balcony. She was calmly looking down at the mountains and cities of Tarlonde. She seemed to be deep in thought and had maintained this posture for a long time.
Helagol looked up and glanced at the clear and bright stars.
The atmosphere here was very clean, and the planet's magnetic field and magic power interacted to form the best stargazing window on the entire planet above Tarlonde. There was no better place to be the starting point for mortals to spy on the universe. All this time, Helagol felt that this was a rather ironic thing for the Dragons.
Those twinkling stars were reflected in the eyes of the Dragon Priest. He stared at them until they suddenly seemed to turn into countless pairs of cold eyes in his vision. It was until fear and a sense of isolation suddenly surged from the depths of his soul that he hurriedly looked away and lowered his head.
The blonde figure standing at the edge of the balcony turned her head slightly, and a flat voice came into Helagol's ears. "Cherish your life, Helagol. This is the highest point of Tarlonde."
"My … My Lord, I am very sorry!" Helagol suddenly crawled down, his forehead pressed against the ground. "I was in a trance for a moment …"
"Mortals can make mistakes," the voice said. "But you are not an ordinary mortal. You are standing beside me."
"I … understand."
"Well, get up."
This sentence was like the sound of nature to Helagol. The Dragon Priest immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly and respectfully got up.
For some reason, the god seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.
He looked forward with some curiosity but did not dare to ask. But a few seconds later, the god suddenly spoke. "Melita has returned with the guest I invited."
"The human emperor?" Helagol's voice was filled with curiosity. "Ah … Very bold, to make a decision so quickly."
"Maybe bold, or just reckless," the god said faintly, but there seemed to be a trace of joy in the depths of his voice. "In any case, he has finally accepted my invitation."
Helagol looked at the blonde figure's back for a long time before he finally blinked.
He did not know if he was hallucinating.
He actually felt that there was a trace of anticipation in the god's voice at this moment.
The Dragon Priest who had lived for a long time suddenly fell into a trance. He could not remember the last time he saw the goddess showing anticipation for something. Ten thousand years ago? Twenty thousand years ago? Or even earlier … the Year of the Tide?
He shook his head and stopped his wild thoughts. He collected his thoughts and bathed in the starlight of the North Pole with the goddess he had served for most of his life.
