The city is changing...... It's really dizzyingly fast.

Melita Pernia stepped out of her temporary accommodation, and the bustling "Pioneer Avenue" came crashing into the face like a bizarre drama.

Decent citizens of Cecil and caravans from north to south came and went in this wide street that could accommodate twelve horse-drawn carriages, and in front of the shops along the street stood employees soliciting customers, and the sound of music coming from nowhere, the voices of all kinds of people, the crisp ringing of two-wheeled vehicles, all kinds of sounds were mixed together, and the lights were bright behind the wide windows, and the various goods that were popular this year were indifferently lined up on those shelves like witnesses of this prosperous new world, watching this prosperous human world.

It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was shining from the direction of the western mountain forest, and a faint golden glow spread over the city.

Twilight was once a time when the cities of the human world were deserted, but here everything is very different – it is the time when the workers take turns to rest after a hard day's work, the students leave school, the shops of the night market open their doors, and the citizens begin their most leisure time of the day, and only then will the complex commercial street like the "Pioneer Boulevard" be fully lively.

"I don't know what's going on......" Melita stretched gracefully in the sunset, muttering softly, "I hope this exchange won't be too harmful to your health......"

She strode in the direction of the city center, through the bustle of the human world.

They were greeted by a few young men who were walking in groups, dressed in obviously foreign clothes, talking and laughing along the way, but they invariably slowed down as they passed Merita, and they looked in the direction of the agent with some confusion, as if they noticed that there was a person here, but they didn't see anything, and they couldn't help but get a little nervous.

Melita chuckled softly, walked past the suspicious young men, and whispered to herself, "Dragonborn...... I still retain a certain degree of sensitivity to my kind. In any case, it is also a good thing to get out of that mountain, and the time when this world is prosperous has always been precious......"

Several young dragon students on the street hesitated and discussed in place, they felt that the aura that suddenly appeared and disappeared was very strange, one of the young people raised his eyes and looked at the intersection of the street, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately walked briskly to that side: "Mr. Sheriff! Mr. Sheriff! We suspect that someone is illegally using invisibility spells! ”

Melita, who had just walked not far away, suddenly quickened her pace: "Huh...... The first thing I learned to study abroad was to report it......"

The Cecil Palace stands majestically in the heart of the "Royal Quarter" in the heart of the city. The building was no longer the tallest or largest house in the city, but the imperial flag flying high above the building gave it an aura that would always be in awe of the Cecil.

Standing proudly at the sentry post at the door, Melita lifted her concealment and walked calmly towards the soldiers, who immediately cautiously adjusted their stance - but before the soldiers could ask, the door opened not far away, and a young girl wearing a black and white maid's uniform with the dark gold insignia of a senior female officer on her chest and cuffs stepped out of it.

"Let her in," the senior female officer greeted the soldier, "a guest of His Majesty~"

"Miss Betty?" The soldier glanced back at Betty in confusion, then turned to look at Melita, "Okay, I see. However, registration is still required. ”

"Of course," Melita nodded, "Melita Pernia, the senior agent of the Mithril Treasury and the special advisor of His Majesty Gawain Cecil, and a friend—just register as such. ”

After passing through the checkpoint at the gate, Melita followed Betty into the "palace" that had been expanded and converted from the Lord's Palace, and asked casually, "The soldiers at the gate are new?" The soldiers who stood guard before should have remembered me, and I had registered my last visit. ”

Betty thought for a moment and shook her head very reasonably: "I don't know! ”

Looking at the still-energetic head maid (she was no longer a "little maid"), Melita was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled slightly, and her mood became more and more light-hearted.

Originally, she had only come here for a short- to medium-term observation mission...... But before she knew it, these people and things she observed seemed to have become an interesting and important part of life.

In this way, she arrived in Gawain's study, which was covered with a velvet carpet and a map of the world, and bowed slightly to the Imperial Ruler sitting behind her desk, and said with a smile the opening words that she had said many times: "Good afternoon, Your Majesty, Melita Pernia, the senior agent of the Mithril Treasury is pleased to serve you. ”

Gawain raised his head from the pile of papers and books, glanced at the agent in front of him, and after signaling Betty to leave, he asked casually: "The main reason for looking for you today is to consult something, first of all, let me inquire, is there an ancient metal tower near your Tallrond?" Probably in the west or northwest......"

Then Melita almost fell headlong with a smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" Gawain immediately noticed the strange expression of the agent lady, "Is it difficult for me to answer this question?" ”

Then he found something strange, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Huh? You didn't even wear a veil today? ”

Melita struggled to maintain a nonchalant smile, adjusting her breathing as she replied, "I...... After all, she is also a woman, and occasionally she wants to change her outfit. ”

Then she took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "Your question...... It's not enough to break the taboo, but it's not almost. Instead of asking something so scary in the first place, you can...... Let's start with a common topic? ”

"Oh," Gawain nodded knowingly, and changed the question, "Have you eaten?" ”

Melita didn't realize what this inexplicable greeting meant, but she still subconsciously replied: "...... Eaten. ”

"Very well," Gawain said casually, "it looks like there's a metal tower to the west of Tallund?" ”

Melita adjusted her breathing, her face curious: "...... May I start by asking? How did you know about the existence of this tower? ”

"I've got a travelogue that mentions a lot of interesting things," Gawain casually pointed to the "Travels of Mordir" on the table, "a great adventurer once happened to get close to the dragon kingdom - he bypassed a great storm and came to the Arctic. In his travelogue, he mentions not only the metal tower, but also more surprising clues, do you want to know? ”

Melita immediately sensed something from Gawain's expression, and her next words became cautious: "A human who has entered the vicinity of the Dragon Realm? How can this be...... What else is mentioned in the travelogue? ”

"Your name is mentioned," Gawain looked into the other's eyes, "and it is clearly recorded that a dragon who accidentally destroyed the adventurer's ship and took him to the 'Iron Island' where the tower is located in order to remedy his mistakes, and the dragon calls himself Merita Pernia, a member of the Tallund Jury......"

Melita's eyes seemed to widen a little with every word Gawain said, and finally the dragon lady couldn't help but interrupt him: "Wait a minute! My name was mentioned? You mean, the adventurer who left his travelogue said he knew me? Seen me in the Arctic? How is this ......?"

Gawain nodded: "Looks like you have no impression of this, do you?" ”

"I ...... "I don't have an impression," Melita said with a confused expression, she never imagined that her senior agent, who had always been in charge of consulting services, would one day become the one full of confusion and need answers, "I have never met a human adventurer near Talrond, let alone brought people to the vicinity of that tower...... It's against the taboo, you know? Taboo ......"

"Okay, I've got a rough idea, we'll talk about it in more detail later," Gawain noticed that Miss Agent's mental stress seemed to be rising dramatically, and he immediately paused the topic and redirected the conversation to a follow-up point, "There is another concept mentioned in this travelogue, an unfamiliar term...... Do you know what 'Voyager' means? ”

Melita was actually relieved when she heard Gawain change the subject, but she couldn't exhale it successfully - when the words "Voyager" came directly into her ears, she only felt a "boom" in her mind and soul at the same time, and in the unbearable roar that made the dragon, she also heard Gawain's follow-up words: "...... What is the legacy of the Voyager? Is it an intellectual product? Doesn't it have a ...... with some 'secret' that your dragons are keeping?"

For the first time since serving as a senior agent, Melita tried to block or refuse to answer the client's questions, but Gawain's words seemed to have some kind of magic that directly penetrated the security protocols she had preset for herself - it turned out that this human was really weird, Melita found that she couldn't even turn off part of her nervous system urgently, couldn't stop thinking about the relevant questions and "impulses to answer", she instinctively began to think about those answers, and when the answers surfaced, Her "body", which folded in the gap between the elements and the present world, immediately sent an overwhelmed detection signal-

The agent stumbled on the spot, her face instantly became extremely ugly, and an abnormal, dragon-wing-like shadow appeared behind her.

Gawain was suddenly taken aback by this unexpected strong reaction, and immediately stood up from behind his desk: "Are you okay?" ”

Melita waved her hand in pain, barely took two steps to the desk, she held on to the table to regain her footing, and then looked a little lost and muttered, "Exploded...... The one of the thirty-eight blew up ......"

"What blew up? What thirty-eight thousand? Although Gawain heard the other party's words clearly, he didn't understand what it meant at all, "I'm sorry, it seems that it was my fault......"

"No...... You didn't mean to, and this may be reimbursable......" Melita waved her hand again and whispered with a wry smile, "Okay, I have to do my duty, your question...... I can only answer partially. The so-called Voyagers are an ancient civilization that has left this world, and their legacy is the root cause of the 'Rebellion Against the Tide' of the past. Yes, the 'ultimate book' you found in the first place...... As I said, it is used to steal knowledge, and it is the legacy of the Voyagers that the Empire of the Tides uses to steal from it. Those legacies must not be leaked out, let alone in the hands of the lower level of mortal civilizations, and there is only so much I can tell you. ”

An ancient civilization that has left this world...... The root cause of the rebellion against the tide...... A heritage that cannot fall into the hands of a low-level civilization......

Melita said that she could only answer part of it, but the key points she answered were enough to answer most of Gawain's questions!

In fact, as early as when he saw Mordir's travels, he had already vaguely guessed the meaning of the so-called "Voyager", guessed what those legacies and giant towers meant, and Melita's answer completely confirmed his conjecture: the "Voyager" in the mouth of the dragons refers to the mysterious "God-killing fleet", that is, the ancient civilization that left a large number of satellites and orbital facilities in space!

In ancient times, the "Empire Against the Tide" caused a huge crisis after coming into contact with the legacy (knowledge) of the "God-Slayer Fleet", which eventually led to the Rebellion Against the Tide, which Gawain had also received many clues before, and this was the first time he got positive and accurate information about the "God-Slayer Fleet" from Melita.

On the whole, Melita's answer is actually just a confirmation of Gawain's previous speculations or circumstantial evidence, and connects some originally independent clues into a whole, for Gawain, this is actually just the beginning of his series of questions, but for Melita...... It seems that these "little problems" have brought unforeseen trouble.

This made Gawain feel a little uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, my question was reckless," he immediately apologized to Melita - he didn't care about the so-called "ruler's shelf", not to mention that the other party was his first dragon friend, and a sincere apology was necessary to maintain friendship, "If you feel it is necessary, we can stop here." ”

"It's okay," Melita shook her head at once, she readjusted her breathing and reverted to being the elegant and calm Mithril Treasury Senior Agent again, "My work ethic doesn't allow me to do this - keep consulting, I'm fine." ”

"Well, I'll pay attention to my next questions, and try not to get into the 'dangerous area,'" Gawain said, sorting through the questions he had prepared in his head, "I should be fine asking you for a name, right?" Probably someone you know. ”

Melita breathed a sigh of relief, and even smiled lightly again: "Of course, of course it's okay. ”

Gawain nodded: "Do you know a dragon named Enya?" ”

Melita's face changed suddenly.

The forty-two one also blew up.
