It is indeed a simple and straightforward name.

But many of Cecil's things are so simple and straightforward – and behind these simplicitys and straightforwardness are either convenient and practical, or powerful.

Maggie is now a bit of a fan of this characteristic "Cecil style".

"You can transform now," Rebecca retreated to a safe distance and said to Maggie with a grin, "Don't worry, this place is very spacious, and I have reserved a place for you to enter and exit and take off outside the shed~"

Maggie nodded, closing her eyes slightly.

The power of the bloodline began to swim in her body, the magic reshaped her flesh and blood, and began to break the boundaries between matter and elements, a curtain of streamers enveloped the dragonborn's body, and then the curtain expanded rapidly, expanding to a range of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, and in the shaking of the curtain, the faintly huge dragon wings flashed.

After the light dissipated, Maggie, who had transformed into a black dragon, appeared in front of everyone.

Even if they have seen it more than once, Rebecca and her technical team will still be amazed by this incredible change, the power and mystery of the dragon make these technical workers extremely fascinated, these researchers in white robes can't help but come up one after another, and once again sigh in unison the power of the "dragon" -

"How the hell did this come about?" "Such a huge body structure is filled with magic?" "The extra weight is a mystery...... "Where are all the belongings in human form......"

- There is no doubt that the researchers' exclamations about the dragon must also be professional.

Maggie shook her head from side to side, listening helplessly to the discussions around her—after getting acquainted with each other, the guys simply didn't keep their voices down when discussing similar issues.

Not long ago, she would have been embarrassed by these discussions, and even had some minor minds, but after such a long period of contact, she had already realized that the guys around Rebecca were really just overly focused researchers, and they didn't mean to offend her, they just didn't have a high level of emotional intelligence - so one of them was single.

May these overly curious guys continue to be single.

Maggie muttered to herself, her large, head hanging down at Rebecca, "How am I going to wear this set?" ”

"You're standing on the platform over there—do you see those red patches? That's the anchor for your limbs," Rebecca gestured not far away, "and spread your wings, and we'll take care of the rest." ”

Maggie made her way to the platform as Rebecca had instructed, stood still, and slowly spread her wings, which had been born with a genetic defect.

She suddenly became a little nervous, and felt her heart pounding in her chest, and she could even hear the sound of her heart beating in her ears.

The sound of chains and slides moving sounded along with the sound of heartbeats, as well as the sound of metal clashing and rubbing, and the surrounding magicians and mechanics continued to control the surrounding suspension machines, and the pair of cold and imposing black steel wings approached little by little, and with the cold touch, they attached to Maggie's wings.

As soon as the Steel Wings were in place, they immediately drove the beam forward, and began to use various tools to fit the locks and fixes on the huge equipment one by one, locking them one by one.

The sound of metal striking and chains swaying calmed Maggie's mind, and she suddenly felt like a knight preparing to step onto the battlefield - these venerable technicians were arming a dragon with advanced machinery, and for the dragon, it was her new armor.

"Hey~~Maggie~~ This set of things is a bit heavy! So we had to use a lot of fixing brackets to make sure they could be fixed to you, mainly concentrated at the base of the wings and the dorsal abdomen~~" Rebecca stood under the platform, tilted her head and said loudly, "Is there anything uncomfortable??" ”

"It's easy," Maggie said in a deep voice, her head slightly lowered, "to the dragon, its burden is probably not much different from that of you humans in thin leather armor. And I even have a suggestion - you can make holes in my shoulder blades, some special bone fragments and scales on the upper edge of my wings, and bolt them directly, so that the effect should be better. ”

Rebecca continued to shout, "Mom-you said something horrible!! ”

"But in fact, it doesn't hurt at all, we have a lot of keratin structures and exoskeleton structures that we don't feel, just like human fingernails."

Rebecca's excited voice came from below: "Okay! I'll consider it next time!! ”

"The wingsuit is secured!" A mechanic standing on the podium shouted, interrupting the conversation between Rebecca and Maggie, "Start connecting the backplate, breastplate, and accessory armor!" ”

More slides and bearings began to turn, and the black steel armor tailored for Maggie began to be assembled into pieces, and the belly armor to support the defensive shield, the dorsal armor to carry the backup energy group, and the underneck armor to carry a large number of testing equipment were installed in place.

Maggie watched as the dazzling devices were hung on her one by one, some of which she could discern for purpose, some of which she could only guess for, and some of which she could only ...... She couldn't even guess what they were for. As a device with sharp corners gradually approached her jaw, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Rebecca, what is this chin-mounted thing for?" Why can't I see what runic structure it has? ”

Rebecca glanced up and scratched her hair: "Actually, I don't know...... It was specially added by the ancestor after seeing my design drawing, saying that it is a symbol of the black dragon......"

"Does the black dragon have such a symbol......" Maggie muttered in confusion, and as she grunted, the black armor made of steel had been mounted to her jaw.

It could look like a weird-looking visor, or it could be an iron jaw—Maggie muttered to herself.

Then she put her doubts aside: since it was arranged by His Majesty Gawain, it must have its intentions, the wisdom and vision of that legendary hero are beyond ordinary people's imagination, and a person like herself who is not good at planning (Dragon) should act according to his will.

As for now...... She's ready to go.

"All locks in place, Wings of Steel loaded!" The mechanic on the high platform shouted, "It's time to test fly!" ”

Maggie looked up, feeling her heart pound again.

With an excited look on her face, Rebecca turned around and shouted, "Open the door!" ”

Maggie quickly calmed down as the heavy gears and levers drove the squeaky metal doors of the shed, and the sunlight from the outside world poured through the doors into this special "dragon armament workshop".

Facing the sun, she squinted her eyes slightly, and the clear and high blue sky shone in her vision.

"Remember what I told you about the manipulation?" Rebecca's loud shouting voice came from the ground, "It's all - nothing - changed!! Most of the features are just to fill in the missing runes on your wings, so you don't need to be distracted! For the first test flight, you just need to pay attention to the output balance of the wings and the overall sense of weight!! ”

"I will!"

"That's good! Let's take off! Maggie!! ”

A gust of wind also rolled up at the right time, blowing on the black dragon's hard scales and outstretched wings, feeling the touch of the air flow across the surface of the body, Maggie directly used her talent for manipulating magic to activate the magic capacitor set at the root of the wings.

The surging magical energy was immediately channeled and injected into the steel wings, and along the edge of her native wings, a fine stream of light quickly spread from the surface of the additional metal skeleton, and the runes on the surface of the metal parts lit up one after another, resonating with Maggie's own mutilated and misshapen wings—

The innate missing dragon runes were filled in in an instant, and a feeling of being able to control the elements and the sky that she had never experienced before came to Maggie's heart.

This feeling made her can't help but recall the leap on the Dragon Leaping Cliff many years ago-

She took two steps forward, but her body was almost unbalanced and fell because of the unprecedented lightness, and the chaotic air currents swirled and flew around her, and the person who blew couldn't open her eyes.

Rebecca's loud shouting voice came from behind, "Maggie! Take it easy! No-on-hurry!! Take it one step at a time, and then fly!! ”

The black dragon took a deep breath, adjusted the balance of his body again, and called for magic again.

It's not that hard - dragons are supposed to soar in the sky, and the ability to fly should be as easy for every dragon as eating and drinking.

Maggie stepped forward again, spread her wings, and ran for a short distance before sudden.

Since she was a child, she has tried this a thousand times, and she has fallen down a thousand times.

This time, she didn't fall.

The howling wind blew in her face, and then swept backwards by the invisible magic field, Maggie finally opened her eyes, only to see that the earth was moving backwards under her feet, and the magic gathered around her, lifting her higher into the sky.

It's a very different experience than riding the Dragoons – even different from gliding down the Dragon's Leap Cliff and taking to the skies with the help of a storm summoned by Victoria.

It's the feeling of flying into the blue sky on your own wings.

Maggie suddenly wanted to cheer, which was even contrary to her calm, calm temperament in front of people for the past few years, but ...... Anyway, there are no outsiders here.

A low dragon roar came from high in the sky, and many frightened birds flew up from the nearby forest and fluttered in the air.

Rebecca looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled and said to the people next to her, "She seems to be happy!" ”

……

As the vast expanse of fields and woodlands receded in view, even the clouds seemed to be within reach, Maggie stretched out her wings under the influence of magic, and on the outer edges of her congenitally deformed and twisted wings, flight aids made of magical alloy and steel skeletons shone in the sunlight.

The Dragonborns will be interested in it, especially the young Dragonborns, especially the friends they know.

Maggie thought with great certainty in her heart, and even ...... I felt that this thing might impress the stubborn councillors and elders, and the majestic Grand Duke Baloger.

Maybe the "superior dragons" of Tarrond have more power than this, or maybe this technology that flies into the sky can't get into the eyes of those real dragons at all, but for the deformed dragonborn, this is something that can change their fate.

Maggie adjusted her flight stance, thinking about how to negotiate with her people, and began to experiment with more features of this equipment, and began to try more challenging flight maneuvers.

Suddenly, she felt a hint of incongruity.

Something seemed to have fallen off in the middle of the left wing, or maybe there had been a rune meltdown, and the sudden misbalance caused her to tilt her body, and then plummeted down—

A thought crossed Maggie's mind: new technology always has to experience a lot of failures.

The next second, she began to work on her balance and try to regain her posture.

When trying the "Dragoon", she had already crashed more than once, and from the very beginning she was mentally prepared for all kinds of problems with the test aircraft, and the imbalance at the moment only made her panic for a moment, as a senior "test pilot", she was already experienced in "crashing".

After barely adjusting her balance a few times, she found herself unable to take to the air, and her only option seemed to be a crash landing on gliding.

Maggie forced herself to calm down and began to do her best to maintain her position, she spread her wings and tried to glide into a state that was much more difficult than ever - the steel "armor" was not a great burden under normal circumstances, but it was clearly a problem when it came to a forced landing, she carried the unfamiliar weight, felt the frantic air currents, and tried her best to avoid a vertical fall, while the town below and the Whitewater River not far away were clearly visible.

Maggie kept adjusting the angle of her wings, turning herself away from the direction of the town, and falling as far as she could towards the side of the river—

At least there would be no casualties...... I shouldn't be too seriously injured. Although hitting the water at high speed can also bring a terrible impact, it is better than falling on hard ground, with the dragon constitution, plus slowing down all the way...... is an acceptable injury.

Maggie's heart quickly completed the trade-off, and in the next second, the Whitewater River was already rushing to her face......

Tyr sensed that something seemed to be approaching at high speed in the air, and as she was about to soak in the water for an afternoon sleep, she couldn't help but poke her head out and look up at the sky.

A huge black shadow smashed down head-on.

The last image that Tyr saw was an iron jaw blurred by the high-speed approach.

"Oh mom - quack - "

Cecil 2 years, the month of recovery 12.

The Wings of Steel prototype lifts off.

Dragonborn test pilot Maggie pilots the Steel Wings for an hour, before landing in the Whitewater River due to a mechanical failure.

The Siren Tyre is stabbed to death by an iron jaw that falls from the sky (1/1).
