Before the Emerald Dragons were brought under the rule of the Dragons, there was a long and tragic interstellar war between the former San Vano Empire and the Harpy Federation over the dominance of the system. Millions of lives were scattered in the war, and what was left behind was the cold, lonely belt of stars on the edge of the dragon's collar.

Tens of thousands of warship wrecks were made up of the Dead Belt, Imperial or Federal, and occasionally a mixture of dried corpses. An ominous place like this that diffuses the air of death should have been a terrifying and alienating existence, but I don't know whether to say that it is brave or unscrupulous, those interstellar dealers who gathered for smuggling profits, spent nearly a hundred years, and actually opened up a paradise for outlaws in the heart of the star.

Such a result makes "it" also jaw-dropping.

Obviously so small, obviously so fragile, but the rabble that gathered, with those fanatical and orderless acts, simply brought the lifeless star to toss into a living home.

This is something that "it" can't do anyway.

"It" has witnessed the process of change from beginning to end, and even can't help but be intrigued.

When I realized it, my heart, which had been like a dead heart, jumped again at some point. I don't know if it can be called "salvation", but the desire to continue to observe them does give it the motivation to re-energize it to some extent.

Just as a child is interested in observing the ants on the ground, "it" also intends to return itself to its simple starting point through such observations. It accompanies the small, watching them build their homes with fun, and sometimes intervenes. It had spent a long time with them, and had thought that this time would last, but not long ago, a group of uninvited guests with radium-winged rays stepped into its courtyard.

There is no way for the Harpy Federation to dare to invade the Dragon Realm, and the only possibility for those Radium Wings to appear here is with the authorization of the White Moon Palace. It was an elite guard, not a makeshift patchwork. Such a team will appear on the border of the Dragon Territory, which means that the Emerald Dragon Territory, which has been silent for centuries, may be brewing an unprecedented storm.

Such a change made it feel surprised and quite uncomfortable.

Instinctively, it resisted the change and repelled the uninvited guests.

It would have been easy to deal with the Radium Wings with its strength, but it couldn't determine what the relationship between those Radium Wings and the White Moon Palace was, and perhaps its counterattack would be misinterpreted as a provocation to the lord, and thus attract the wrath of the dragon queen. Although it is mindful, if it really clashes with the dragon queen, then Daedalus and even the starfall belt will probably turn into stardust in the drifting universe.

Staring at the radium-wing fragments floating in the void ahead, it pondered ways to avoid the future.

I don't know how long it took, and a strange wave that seemed to be ink-stained suddenly poured out from the void on the left.

As it shifted its gaze, a giant black ship with a fierce silhouette spilled out of the ink-stained fluctuations, floating incredibly in the void. The giant ship was as large as a medium-sized fortress, but the ink-stained fluctuations cut off the perception of the outside world, making it impossible to tell whether it was an entity or an illusion.

"It" stared silently at the pitch-black giant, indifferent but majestic.

A moment later, a respectful greeting came from the side of the pitch-black giant.

"Lord of the Red Wings, Yuze Gao has saluted you. ”

Due to its special geography that is difficult to detect from the outside world, the Star Death Zone on the border of Longling has always been the favorite place for smugglers. However, the wreckage of many ships floating in the Starfall Zone is actually a double-edged sword, providing shelter to smugglers while also blinding their eyes, making it difficult for them to perceive the changes around them.

The ambush of the smuggling merchant ship by the Celestial Cavalry has so far not been noticed by the side of Daedalus. After all, for smugglers who practice secrecy, the probability of honestly confessing the information of the route to others is lower than that of hitting a meteorite through the sea of edges. Even if several smuggling ships disappeared in the Death Zone, no control agency would pay attention to their whereabouts, and Daedalus still played an energetic and noisy beat.

On this day, the tavern "Fisherman", which was very popular among regular customers in the second block, welcomed a person who was not a regular customer in a sense. Lifting the wavy curtain, Bun Dao stepped into the tavern and smelled the aroma of grilled fish and chopped green onions.

At this time, there was still some time before the tavern opened, and there were no customers in the tavern, so the boss Lao Wang had nothing to do and built a charcoal fire in the corner of the tavern to grill fish to eat. I saw that the body of the crimson fish, which had been cut in half, was covered with fat, and the oil was sizzling under the slightly hot charcoal fire, and the rising fragrance diffused in the tavern.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Lao Wang picked up the chopsticks and carefully took a piece of meat from the fish. He dipped it in a vinegar dish, put it in his mouth, and then closed his eyes to reveal a particularly intoxicated expression. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and suddenly saw Wen Dao with a curious face on the opposite side, and suddenly jumped up in fright.

"Wow!?Brother Wen, Brother Wendao?"

"I'm sorry, but I saw that you were so attentive to the roasting that I was too embarrassed to say anything. ”

Wen Dao said apologetically, and then reached out and took down the vinegar dish and grilled fish that flew into the air one by one. The vinegar dish and the grilled fish were each wrapped in a transparent matrix in the air, and Lao Wang watched Wen Dao's movements in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly reacted, revealing an even more shocked expression.

"Force Field Matrix?Brother Wendao, you are a Force Field Master!?"

"Force Field Division" is a fairly rare profession in both the Imperial Sequence and the Interstellar Mercenaries, and it is estimated that there is no other person in the entire Daedalus. Wen Dao looked at Lao Wang as if he was about to jump up again, so he had to smile bitterly and soothe.

“…… Even force field masters are going to be hungry, so can you bother to make something?"

"Okay, okay, please wait. ”

Lao Wang, who had awakened his sense of service, immediately turned out a pair of dishes and prepared them for Wen Dao. Accompanied by freshly grilled mackerel, the tavern owner neatly prepared seven or eight side dishes, and poured a glass of fruit wine from Green Tree Land for Wendao when it was served.

"Come on, come on, you're welcome, count me on you. ”

"Isn't that okay?" Although he didn't come here to eat, he was really a little hungry when he looked at the dishes in front of him.

"Huhu, you're welcome. If it weren't for the last time my brother you helped send the mother-in-law away, Lao Tzu's wine would have to be looted again, and entertaining a meal would not be a reward at all. The tavernkeeper said with a sigh of relief. Then he remembered to tell Wen Dao that Fenghua came to the tavern to look for him several times that day.

"Huh, are you looking for me?"

"It's like I had a lot of fun that day and want to drink and chat with you again. "The two who were drunk that day didn't exchange contact information, and Fenghua had to try his luck at the tavern if he wanted to find Wendao. However, a while ago, Wen Daodu cooperated with the Heavenly Cavalry Regiment in the Star Death Zone, so he missed Fenghua's invitation to drink. As a result, Fenghua didn't even run a few times and didn't meet the figure of Wen Dao, so angry that he threw the wine jug out of the air, which also made the boss's hanging heart relax.

"It can make that female devil appreciate it so much, my brother really deserves to be a man who is a force field master. The boss threw a look of deep admiration at Wen Dao, and his expression seemed to be shocked.

Wen Dao, who was holding the wine glass, laughed dryly. Although it has nothing to do with the force field master, he also decided to wait for the situation to stabilize and talk to Fenghua for a good chat. Even if the two of them are so close, Yifenghua's familiarity with Daedalus is enough to become a reliable candidate for staff officers.

However, he came today to confirm another matter.

Wen Tao picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and looked at the tavern owner while feeling the subtle sensation of the aromatic fish fat melting in his mouth. The boss who noticed something cast a puzzled look, Wen Dao took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and then threw out the theme.

"Do you know the 'Lord of the Red Wings'?"

"Where did you get that name?" was taken aback by the boss who asked.

"I made a deal the other day and someone mentioned this. Is there such a thing as saying that it is the patron saint of Daedalus, and that if you want to mix well here, you have to ask for its protection?" Wen Dao looked at the tavern owner without blinking, and continued to ask.

“…… That's really rare, and the people who generally know the 'Lord of the Red Wings' are old acquaintances who have been around for quite a few years. The boss looked at Wen Dao with emotion, as if he was quite surprised that he could actually find this name.

"Speaking of the existence of the Patronus, is there really one?" Wen Dao pretended to be puzzled, and raised the wine bottle to pour a glass of wine for the boss. Wen Dao's actions seemed to flatter the boss a little, and he opened the conversation with a wine cup.

"It may sound unbelievable, but there really is a 'guardian spirit' in Deedalus, of course, the concept of 'god' here is not the same as the concept of 'god' imagined by the natives of the realm. For example, for ants, people who throw a candy that is enough for them to eat for half a year will also be regarded as a 'god' by ants, right? The patron saint of Daedalus is that kind of higher-dimensional life, and the 'Lord of the Red Wings' is what everyone calls it. ”

"A higher-dimensional being, like a dragon?" Wen Tao asked.

"Well, no matter how you say it, you can't compare to the 'firstborn son of all things', right?" the boss replied in a cold sweat. "Of course, for us in the lower dimensions, it makes no difference whether we are separated or not. After all, whether it's a bullet or a nuclear bomb, if you eat one, you have to go to Hades. ”

"See Hades, is the Lord of the Red Wings so terrifying?"

"For those who want to assault Daedalus. The boss winked at Wen Dao. "Brother, do you think that no one would ever think of taking a territory as unobstructed and fertile as Daedalus as his own?"

"About this, in fact, I also think it's quite strange......" Wen Dao scratched his head, but it was not acting. He had been deeply puzzled by an anomaly like Deedalus, which had been unmanageable and had survived for centuries, and he couldn't help but quietly prick up his ears at this moment.

"Lately, it was probably half a century ago, a group of wandering mercenaries who had fled from the Empire's side, perhaps hearing the news of Deedalus, and with half a detachment of troops, were eager to come over and take possession. Afraid of inviting the dragon lord, he also split the team into scattered warships, and it took half a month to slowly blend into the star death belt. ”

"There was no way for the outside world to know what was going on in the Star Death Belt, and the mercenaries thought they had succeeded, so they gathered their forces and rushed towards Daedalus, sinking several trading ships that wanted to escape. Everyone had no choice but to close the gate tightly, but it couldn't last long. Those mercenaries, who don't know whether they are alive or dead, actually fired at Daedalus to threaten them, and guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"The Lord of the Red Wings has appeared! Blocking the incoming bombardment, and with a wave of his wings flew through the void, and half of the ships of the detachment were wiped out! "After that, no one dared to attack the idea of encroaching on Daedalus. In fact, the Lord of the Red Wings had appeared several times before, but no one remembered it for too long. ”

“…… I see. Wen Dao nodded heavily, raised his glass and drank it down.

Hearing the tavernkeeper describe the "apparition" of the Lord of the Red Wings, Bundao was almost 100% sure that the Lord of the Red Wings was the real culprit who attacked the Celestial Knights a few days ago, and it was also the key to the survival of Daedalus for centuries. Although I don't know why the illustrious upper species inhabit the stardom belt on the border, it is very clear what to do next.

"Why, brother, do you want the protection of the Lord of the Red Wings?" asked the tavernkeeper tentatively. "Many smugglers have statues of his old man on their boats, so you can also ask for a statue to come back and offer it. Do you want me to help you move?"

"No, I have other beliefs. Wen Dao shook his head, looked down at the grilled fish that was almost skeleton, and asked a question as if he suddenly remembered. "Speaking of which, the Emerald Dragon Territory is the territory of the Virtuous Dragon Ji after all. What are you going to do if the Lord of the Red Wings fights with the Virtuous Dragon Queen?"

"Hyun Ryu Ji and the Lord of the Red Wings are fighting?" Wen Dao's description of the situation made the boss lose his mind, and after a moment, he shuddered deeply. "I can only pray that this will never happen. But even if it does, there is no other way but to pray. ”

"That's right, sorry for the stupid question. Wen Dao put down his chopsticks and looked up at the tavern Wang. "If there's nothing special today, it's better to close early. ”

"Closing?"

"Yes. It might be a bit noisy later, so please stay calm. ”

"Trouble, trouble, brother, what the hell are you ......?"

The surprised boss asked, but Wen Dao smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the tavern.
