Chapter 66: Regunat Again (Part I)
"I still don't understand why I have to climb up a cliff in such harsh conditions with my bare hands...... Isn't it good to have the Royal Army's patrol airship piggyback on it? Heliga grumbled as she leaned on the steep rock wall.
The Dragonborn wanted to see Regunat, and he knew about it. And after the time of the dragon attack, the air force of the Kingdom Army went on high alert, arranging a large number of patrol routes in various main streets and mountainous areas. Heliga had wanted to discuss with Cassius and have one of the ships send him very close to Regunat's dwelling, and then walk slowly, but Bernardo said that in the ancient dragon tradition, the younger generation of the dragon clan needed to be respectful when they first visited the elder, and they should visit the elder's lair step by step by walking rather than flying. If the younger generation is able to complete this process in good faith, then the elder will give a valuable knowledge in return.
Of course, the Dragonborn can't fly - even if the essence of the soul is a dragon, the body is still a human body. And Bernardo, who didn't seem to care so much about rules and traditions, insisted on performing such an ancient ritual this time, which still made Heiliga wonder.
Of course, complaining is complaining, and in practice, it is a little tiring, and it is not so difficult. After the persuasion failed, he prepared a large batch of potions for himself to restore his strength and energy, poured a large bottle when he was tired, and then continued walking. With the dragon's roar as a hole card, he didn't have to worry about a stumble and falling off the cliff or something, so although there were many troubles, he still walked into the cave of the legendary ancient dragon.
"Huh? This rock...... How do you feel that there are some strange marks on it...... "At the corner of the cave, there are several stones with obvious burnt marks, and they still look very new, which attracts the attention of the teenager.
"I guess I did it......" Regunat's voice didn't sound from his head, but from the depths of the cavern, "when the silver-haired swordsman and the professor in his mouth came...... There used to be fierce battles here. β
ββ¦β¦ That professor is that strong? Heliga looked a little surprised, "I've seen Levy's strength too...... He may not be afraid of you, but there's no way he can subdue you and put that strange thing on you......"
"Hehe, yes. But the weapon in the hands of that eccentric man was too aimed at me...... Catch up with me for nearly twenty years, and I just woke up, defenseless, that's why I was attacked and caused so much damage to you. Heliga approached the dragon and found him looking at him intently.
"Don't care...... The obvious responsibility for that incident lies with the association. Saying...... Didn't you say that you don't have a vocal organ, so you can only communicate by reading? So what's going on now? β
"Huh...... That's the rhetoric in front of them. In fact, dragons have a language, but the way dragons communicate with each other is by spitting out their eyes...... If you use it directly for mortals......"
"I see...... But I ......"
"You...... Or rather, he's a dragonborn...... Although the essence of the soul is the same, the way of being is different. Human beings have a unique way of thinking and understanding, so human beings ...... Dragonborn can 'speak' the language of dragons, but dragons cannot...... Of course, the powerful and the wise minds among them may be able to do the same...... Like Alduin, like Patunax. β
"You even know their names?" Helliga asked curiously, "You're not the dragon here?" β
"Hmm...... My origin is the same as theirs...... All are part of Akatosh...... But that doesn't mean we have to stay in the land that our Father created. There will be foreign gods interfering in these matters. For example, Duneville was imprisoned forever in a desolate place like the Soul Tomb...... And there was also an unlucky dragon who was captured by the demon god Morag Barr. β
"So you are equivalent to being like them, being given ...... by the goddess of emptiness in this world"
"Well, you can understand that, but that's another story." "But you can interpret it as such. At the same time, without the blessing of my father and Ginares, I can no longer use the roar that you have...... Actually, I'm curious, how do you do it? β
"Then let him tell you later." Helliga scratched his head, he didn't know much about these things himself, and he even suspected that even the Dragonborn himself might not know what was going on, "I have some questions for you more than that." β
"Hehe, the young man is strong. You're kind of like that Cassius Bright. The dragon gave a wry smile to his very human face, though it looked a little frightened, "Okay, you ask, I'll tell you if I can answer." β
"First of all...... The purpose of the association is to capture the Ring of Radiance...... So what exactly is the purpose of these experiments? "This is Heliga's main concern, and if the dragon knows something, it will help prevent it from happening.
"The Ring of Radiance was once sealed by the sons of men on this land. With the current Liber royal family, the Oshello family as the leader. I've been involved in this as well, and those experiments are probably aimed at breaking the seals. β
"They manipulated Richard into using the gospel to stage a coup d'Γ©tat and lift the fantasia's slumber...... Now these experiments are being used to test the performance of the gospel...... Is it understandable that they are about to use these tested gospels to unseal them a second time? β
"Yes...... Your comprehension is outstanding. The second seal of "Dragon's Jaw" is related to the "Tower of the Four Wheels" throughout the kingdom. I've never been involved in this aspect of the matter, so I can't give you any more hints. β
"Okay, okay...... And then the second question. What does the association want to do with the Ring of Radiance? What kind of existence is that alliance leader? β
"The Society has been active for many years, and their ultimate goal has always been to collect the Seven Treasures." Gu Long replied, "As for the Alliance Leader...... Sorry, I can't say that. That involves the core secrets of the ancient covenant. β
"Ancient Covenants? What is that? β
"A covenant initiated by a goddess with the participation of the guardian beasts of each region. The exact content cannot be revealed, but it is likely that the sacred beasts, as guardians and observers, monitor but do not participate in any actions of the human beings regarding the Arcana......"
"Wait...... In other words, the ...... you answered me just now"
"Well, they're part of the covenant, but they're not important information, so I don't think it's okay to give you some of them. If you had just asked why humans sealed it, I wouldn't have answered you. β
"Heh, do you still need to ask about this? It must be because the power of the Supreme Treasure is too strong, and the benefits brought by it in turn swallow up the human beings themselves, so there will be wise people who realize this, and resist public opinion and seal the Arcana, am I right? β
"Huh...... I can't say. Looking at the young man's somewhat sharp eyes, Regunat shook his head without waves.
"Whew...... Never mind. Then the last question......"
