Hetty recalled carefully, since she knew her ancestor in all these years, it was the first time she saw such a stunned and wonderful expression on the other party's face - it seemed to be a very fun thing to see the always serious and calm ancestor being so frightened by herself, but Hetty was not Rebecca who didn't play on the house for three days, so she quickly forcibly suppressed the troublesome emotions in her heart, and coughed twice to pull the atmosphere back: "You ......"

"Wait a minute, I'll take a ...... Comb it out," Gawain subconsciously waved his hand, and then pressed his beating head, "Betty has been watering that egg for the past two days...... The child usually behaves a little bit that others don't understand, but she shouldn't be ...... Forget it, go get Betty here, and I'll ask what's going on. By the way, has anything changed with that egg? ”

"Nothing has changed," Hetty thought about it, and suddenly felt a little ashamed in her heart - in the days when the ancestor left, she put almost all of her energy into the work of the government hall, and ignored the "housework" that happened under her nose, this kind of subconscious negligence may not be a big deal in the eyes of the ancestor, but if you think about it carefully, it is really a fault, "There is a strict inspection system in the hatching room, and there are people to confirm the status of the dragon egg three times a day, and Betty's strange behavior has no impact......"

Hetty hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't say the sentence "It's just a little pickled lately".

The corners of Gawain's mouth twitched: "...... Let's call Betty over first, and then I'll go to the hatchery and see for myself. ”

Only a moment later, Betty, who was busy on the second floor, was summoned to Gawain by the summons bell, and the maid seemed to be in a good mood, because today was the day Gawain finally went home, but she also seemed a little dazed - because she couldn't understand why she was suddenly called, after all, according to the etiquette that she had memorized, she had already led the attendants and servants to the door to greet her, and the next summons was theoretically an hour later.

Looking at Betty standing in front of him with a look of no idea what was happening, Gawain suddenly felt a little crying and laughing, he had been watching this girl grow up, watching her read books and newspapers, learning spelling and arithmetic, watching her change from a little kitchen maid who didn't know anything to the head maid of the royal family, this little girl from the countryside, who was once thin and sluggish due to malnutrition, did grow up, but she was still not brilliant compared to those who stood on the same height in theory, and even still clumsy, On weekdays, there are some surprises due to the sudden crash of the brain - but even so, everyone here still likes her very much.

This is a simple and straightforward child, she probably doesn't have a long-term idea when she does anything, she just tries to do something well, although she messes up a bit, but she has really improved more and more over the years.

"Betty," Gawain's face softened, with a faint smile, "I've heard something...... You've been visiting the hatchery a lot lately? ”

Betty nodded, acknowledging it with great pleasure.

"And you give that egg often...... Watering? Gawain kept smiling, but his expression couldn't help but be strange when he said this, "Someone even saw you chatting with that egg?" ”

Betty's expression finally changed a little, she didn't respond to Gawain immediately, but showed a look of hesitation and distress, which surprised Gawain and Hetty on the side - but before Gawain opened her mouth to ask why, Miss Maid seemed to have made up her mind, and nodded vigorously and said, "I'm pouring tea for Lady Enya—and she wants me to talk to her......"

As she spoke, the little maid tried to think in her heart: although Lady Enya had said not to talk about these things, the agreement at that time seemed to mention that she should not say it for the time being until the master returned, and now that the master had returned...... I guess that's what you can say, right? Of course, this may also be a mistake in my memory, but there is no way, the master has already asked......

This simple-minded girl didn't want to lie to Gawain.

Gawain fell into a momentary stunned moment again, and after sorting out the information revealed in Betty's words, he immediately realized that this matter was different from what he imagined - how could Betty know the name Enya!? She's chatting with Enya?!

He got up from the sofa: "Let's go to the hatchery room, now!" ”

……

Hurried footsteps came from the direction of the corridor, accompanied by several clearly recognizable breaths, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the hatchery room was dispelled, and a very slight sigh came out from inside the pale golden dome in the center of the room, accompanied by a smile to himself: "Are you back...... I thought I could spend a few more days free. ”

The door to the hatchery room was pushed open from the outside, and the figures of Gawain, Herty, and Betty appeared outside the door, their eyes wide as they stared at the room where a faint runic glow was floating, and at the huge dragon egg standing in the center of the room—the surface of the dragon egg was glowing, and the ancient runes of the mystery were disappearing from time to time, and everything seemed very normal, except for a newspaper floating in front of the giant egg, and it was turning the next page in front of everyone......

Herty's eyes widened, Gawain's expression stiffened, and Betty happily stepped forward to say hello: "Lady Enya! Are you reading the newspaper again? ”

The door to the hatchery was closed, and Gawain came to the golden dome with an unprecedentedly strange expression, followed by a somewhat familiar gentle female voice from inside the dome: "Long time no see, my friend. ”

"So we've been friends since we last talked?" Gawain said subconsciously.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up and down at this "dragon egg" a few times, "it" looked almost no different from the last time he saw it, but I don't know if it was an illusion, he could always smell a vague smell wafting from the lower part of the eggshell, the smell was fragrant, but it was not a supernatural breath, but more like what he was used to drinking...... Tea.

"A heart-to-heart conversation is enough to establish a first friendship, and in my long memory, a conversation with you should be the most heart-to-heart," Gawain's voice in the Golden Dome sounded again as he thought in his mind, "What? Not happy to be friends with me? ”

"This ...... Not really," Gawain shook his head with a strange expression, wondering if he should smile at this moment, countless speculations tumbled in his heart, and finally formed some vague answers, at the same time, his mind gradually settled, and tried to find the initiative in his words, "I just didn't expect to meet you again in this situation...... So, are you really Enya? The gods of the dragon clan, Enya? ”

"The gods of the dragon clan are dead, with mad divinity, buried on the borders of the heavens, and here there is only Enya—Enya as a human being," the Golden Dome said in a soft voice, "I really didn't expect to meet you again in this situation, in fact...... I didn't even think that this bold plan could actually be realized. ”

Divinity...... Human nature...... Bold plans......

Gawain suddenly had some realization in his heart, and his eyes were deep, staring at the Golden Dome like staring into a bottomless pool: "So, the god-killing war that took place in Tarlund was part of your plan?" In this way, you killed the divinity, which was on the verge of getting completely out of control, and allowed the part of your humanity to survive in this form......"

"I made the biggest adventure I've ever had consciously, but it wasn't my original plan – I didn't intend to keep myself alive in the original plan," Enya said in a flat tone, "I knew what the children had in mind from a long, long time ago...... Though they tried their best to suppress their thoughts and words, those thoughts rippled in the deepest depths of thought, like the uncontrollable sparkle in the eyes of children when they were about to move, how could they hide from their experienced mothers? I knew that day would come...... In fact, I've been looking forward to it myself......

"But I can't disobey my own rules, I can't undo the chains, so the only thing I can do is leave some gaps for them in a very narrow area, or turn a blind eye to something. So if it's a 'plan', it's actually mainly a plan of the dragons, and I've done the most in this plan...... It's about doing nothing most of the time. ”

Gao Wen frowned slightly, thinking while listening, and couldn't help but say at the moment: "But you still didn't say how you survived...... You just said that in the most primitive plan, you didn't intend to survive. ”

"Thank you," Enya chuckled, with genuine gratitude in her tone, "I was inspired by the things you told me. ”

"What did I tell you?" Gawain was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You mean the upper-level narrator...... And the gods of nature or something? ”

"There have been many civilizations in this world, countless mortal kingdoms, and countless mortal heroes, who either have unruly personalities, or have thoughts that amaze the gods, or have talent and courage beyond theory, and these people have all kinds of reactions when facing the gods, some are in awe, some are disdainful, and some hate ...... But either way, it's not like you," Enya said unhurriedly, the topic seemed to be far away, but the content of what was said was thought-provoking, "Yes, you are different, you are neither in awe nor flinching in the face of the gods, you do not even like or dislike - you don't regard gods as gods at all, and your perspective is higher than that.

"You see God as a mere 'phenomenon' or even an 'object,' and you calmly want to find the logic behind this phenomenon, and you take it for granted that it's as if you're trying to unravel a formula with a clear answer.

"Based on this perspective, you have introduced a never-before-seen variable into mortal thought, which will lead mortals to look at divinity and humanity objectively, quantify and analyze it.

"In our last conversation, I ...... Borrowing a little bit from this variable, borrowing the perspective from which you look at the problem and the effect that this perspective can produce, you gain the ability to accurately cut your own divinity and humanity.

"I'm sorry that I didn't ask for your consent in advance, and I didn't explain this to you afterwards because I was worried that it would lead to an unforeseen change in the situation, and I hope you don't think it's a deception and offense."

After listening to Enya's confession, Gawain suddenly had a deeper feeling in his heart about the "transcendent" side of the gods. These beings who originate from imagination and transcend imagination can actually do such a thing - acquire a new "perspective of thought" in verbal conversation, and turn this "perspective of thought" into their own controllable ability...... Is this the ultimate fantasy power?

His thoughts fluctuated in his heart, but his face didn't show it, he just smiled and said with a seemingly casual smile: "No need to apologize, it seems that this has led to a good result now, so I don't mind—it's just that I'm a little curious, your ability to 'cut' divinity and humanity...... What is the principle? ”

The Golden Dome fell silent, and only after a few seconds did it break the silence with helplessness: "Such a strong curiosity...... That's really a question you'll ask. But unfortunately, I can't explain it to you, and even if I could, it wouldn't be of any use, because not all gods have lived for more than a million years, and not all gods have merged.

"My 'cutting' of myself is based on my own special state, because the 'gods' themselves are a 'stitched' concept, and those gods who are not stitched are ...... Except in cases where the upper narrator has experienced a 'death' and the divinity and humanity have been split, it is better not to try to 'cut' rashly, but to choose a more gradual and secure approach. ”

"What happens if you cut it rashly?" Gao Wen asked subconsciously.

“…… And he cut himself to death. ”

Gawain opened his mouth, slightly embarrassed: "That sounds quite serious. ”

Then he thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Then you have now returned to this world in the form of 'humanity'...... What about Talrond's side? Do you want to talk to them? You are now pure human nature, and theoretically should no longer have a bad influence on them. ”

The Golden Dome fell silent, and after thinking for longer than any previous silence, she finally spoke: "The mythical era of the dragons is over, and there is no need for a ghost from the past to haunt those dragons who have finally gained their freedom. And given the complexity of the human heart, even if I return to the public eye of Tallund in the form of 'humanity', I can't guarantee that there will be no unexpected change of thought among them...... For the time being, at least for the time being, don't let the dragons know about it until they are completely out of the shadows of the past and ready for a new era.

"Of course, you can tell the news to the few dragons who are in charge of Talrond's affairs, and they should be better able to plan for their development and avoid some potential dangers when they know the truth - and their sense of responsibility will keep them secret. When it comes to keeping secrets, the dragons have always been trustworthy. ”

"I see, I'll find an opportunity to tell the upper echelons of Talrond about you later," Gawain nodded, and then couldn't help but glance at Enya's round form at the moment, he really couldn't suppress his curiosity, "I still want to ask...... How is this an egg? ”

“…… yes, why is it an egg? Actually, I didn't figure it out......"
