A person who can go through the whole experience of Gondor's collapse, the Demon Tide Disaster, the death on the battlefield, and the opening of the coffin is indeed qualified to face all the bizarre things in this world calmly, Melita? Pernia had to admit that Gawain's statement made a lot of sense.

And what she didn't know was that Gawain had experienced much more than that - she had to add plane crashes, travel through time and space, and hundreds of thousands of years of experience in space to make up Gawain's complete life.

In this unimaginably long life, the appearance of a dragon is only a trivial color embellishment in the blink of an eye.

He was surprised, a little surprised, but overall...... It's not a big deal.

He was no more surprised than someone in the distant Typhon Empire who had invented fertilizer.

"Truth be told, a lot of humans think dragons are just legends, but almost everyone who delves into history and dabbles in the otherworldly realm knows that dragons are real - you just rarely show up in public," Gawain looked at Melita? Pernia's eyes peeking out from above the veil, in a normal state, it really didn't seem that these eyes belonged to a dragon, "Who would have thought that you were actually right next to us, disguised...... So good. ”

"The transfiguration spells themselves are passed down from the dragons," Melita said with a chuckle, "We're good at disguise as any species, but to be honest, there's one race that's better at mimicry and disguise than we are. ”

"Kraken? Oh, I do know - Tyr would even disguise herself as a pile of seagrass to escape work, and if it weren't for the impossibility of seagrass growing in the dockyard, she might have succeeded......"

The two of them talked casually like friends for many years, and the identities of humans and dragons seemed to be forgotten by them, and the atmosphere of the scene became strangely harmonious for a while, but in the end, the topic returned to Melita's race and the purpose of the dragons.

Now that Miss Agent has chosen to be open and honest, Gawain's question is straightforward: "So, the Mithril Treasury is actually controlled by the dragons?" ”

"It is, in fact...... It's our dragons who have built the Mithril Vault," Melita nodded calmly, "but I want to emphasize again, there's no conspiracy to dig up here—dragons have no ill will towards any race on the continent......"

"And what about the land empire that was destroyed in the Battle Against the Tide?"

Gawain suddenly uttered a historical event that sounded like a sensitive topic to Melita, causing her breathing to pause noticeably.

"You know so much...... the humanoid dragon stared into Gawain's eyes, "this is beyond the records of human history, beyond what humans know about the world. ”

Gawain laughed, "You know, there are many 'wonderful' people around me, and I don't know as much about those ancient mystics as you do. ”

"The Kraken...... there was a flash in Melita's eyes, and then she shook her head, "It seems that you do know a lot of things, so we can talk more openly." However, I suggest that you don't ask too much about the rebellion now, and if you see other dragons, it's best not to ask rashly. ”

Gawain instantly noticed one point: Tyr called the war in ancient times the "war against the tide", while Melita called it the "rebellion against the tide", and the deviation of one word brought out a huge amount of information.

And it looks ...... It's even some kind of taboo among dragons?

Although he was very interested in the ancient war that might involve the "Black Trap", Gawain did not dwell on this issue, but lightly changed the topic: "Actually, I'm curious, why do you reveal your dragon identity so easily, your dragon clan is so mysterious in front of the world, isn't it important to disguise yourself?" ”

"It's important, but it's not as important as you think," Melita said indifferently, "After discovering that you investigated the crater, and that my lost item is still on you, I knew that you would definitely associate the Mithril Treasury with the dragon, and instead of making things difficult in the future, the Mithril Treasury thought that it would be better to directly raise your 'contact level', which is the best way to avoid accidents from historical experience." ”

“…… It seems that you have a complete set of plans to deal with all kinds of accidents that occur in the process of contact with the world," Gawain judged, "There are strict plans, strict organization, hierarchical management, and a huge scale...... The purpose of the Mithril Treasury must not be just to be a 'treasure trove', right? ”

"We dragons have been paying attention to the Loren continent, the development and changes of all the races and countries on this land, and the Mithril Treasury is a tool for us to observe the continent - of course, its 'treasure trove' role is equally important, the dragon clan is a race that likes to collect treasures, you should have heard of this."

Gawain raised his eyebrows, directly ignoring the part about "collecting treasures": "Just observation? ”

"Just by observing, we will not meddle in any affairs of the secular kingdom."

"So what exactly is being observed?" Gawain asked, "Observe how the secular kingdom works?" Observe how the various races developed? Or...... Observe how we deal with existential disasters like the Magic Tide? ”

Melita replied indifferently: "It's all under observation." ”

"I'm your target too, right?"

Melita hesitated: "Maybe it's a bit offensive, but in a sense...... Yes. ”

"What about the purpose of observation? Isn't it just to satisfy your curiosity? ”

"Why not?" Melita asked slyly, obviously not intending to answer the question head-on, "Dragons are a very curious race. ”

"How long has the Mithril Treasury been around?"

"When did the oldest kingdom on the continent appear, and when was the Mithril Treasury established."

Gawain stared into Melita's eyes, "Even back before the last Demon Tide, right?" ”

“…… It seems that you did get a lot of knowledge from the Kraken," Melita nodded after a brief silence, "As you said - back before the last Demon Tide, and even back before a few times even older. We don't necessarily call it the Mithril Treasury every time, but agents will always be on the continent. ”

"You won't be affected by the tide? Same as the Kraken? ”

"It's true that we'll survive the tide, but we're not in the same situation as the Kraken."

"How did you fend off the tide?"

"No comment for now."

"And what is a black trap?"

“…… Still no comment. ”

Gawain stared into Melita's eyes for three minutes before the latter sighed deeply, his tone full of helplessness: "It's really no comment, Duke Cecil." ”

Gawain was not willing to accept that this hard-won conversation with the dragon was fruitless, and he persistently asked, "No comment—that is, you know it, but you can't tell me?" ”

"You can understand that," Melita replied more hesitantly than before, as she seemed to struggle with her words, but still trying to maintain her etiquette, "I can't tell you, but it's not out of malice. ”

Intuition suddenly hooked Gawain's subconscious, and he seemed to sense something from Melita's reaction.

He cautiously asked, "Is the Black Well related to the cause of the Demon Tide?" ”

"There is no direct connection."

He asked again, "Black Trap...... Something to do with God? ”

Melita fell silent.

But her eyes remained fixed on Gawain, and she didn't look away for a moment.

After a few seconds, her eyes gradually turned into golden vertical pupils that shimmered with a shimmer, and fine scales began to emerge near her cheeks and forehead, and she opened her mouth, and a murmur mixed with a low echo that humans could not understand came from her mouth, and at this moment, Gawain noticed the shadow behind Melita—the shadow was gradually breaking free from the laws of optics, and a pair of huge dragon wings were spreading out from the shadows: her shadow was turning into a dragon form.

Gawain nodded: "I already know the answer, no need to answer." ”

Melita's shadow quickly recovered, and her dragonized eyes and scales returned to normal.

She looked Gawain in the eye and whispered, "We're still in the trap." ”

Finally, Gawain comes into contact with the true secret.

He looked at the surrogate lady who had returned to normal, and suddenly became a little curious: "You tell me so much...... Is it because of the increase in the so-called 'contact level'? ”

Melita nodded, "Yes." ”

After this, Gawain and Melita? Pernia talked a lot.

But in the end, he still didn't find out more about the dragons - including where they lived, how big the Mithril Treasury was on the mainland, what the dragons' plans were in front of the demon tide and the black trap, and what actions they would take next on the continent.

Obviously, even if the "contact level" is raised, Melita still has to keep a lot of secrets.

But this conversation has satisfied Gawain.

He has already achieved more than he initially expected.

But he also knew that since the Mithril Treasury, or the Dragons, took the initiative to be open and honest with themselves, it was definitely not given for nothing.

"What do you want from me?" Gawain asked, "The so-called 'contact level' is probably not just about you telling me such a lot of secrets, right?" ”

"Actually, we really don't have anything to ask for," Melita shook her head slightly, "and even this upgrade was due to my negligence and accident, we just want to be quiet bystanders - if there's anything we really need you to do, it's that we want you to continue to work with us, as always, and keep our shared secrets." ”

Gawain couldn't help but laugh: "To be honest, you should tell me before you tell me the secret." ”

"It doesn't make a difference," Melita said, spreading her hands, "it's better to talk to someone like you than to calculate, and we're sure you're not a man who likes to preach around, and ...... We don't really care much if you tell these secrets.

"The Mithril Treasury has existed on the continent for many years, with hundreds of dynasties and countless people in contact with us, and over the years, there have been no shortage of terrifying 'secrets' about the Mithril Treasury, some of which may even be in the dust for a century, but eventually become a fragment of history and legend in the change of dynasties.

"You can tell me all about today's conversation – believe me, in a century it will become a story, two centuries it will become a country legend, and in the third century...... Even your children and grandchildren won't believe it anymore. ”

Gao Wen wanted to say that the other party underestimated the ability of the short-lived species in terms of inheritance information, but he thought of his more than eighty wives mentioned in a certain knight, and he immediately couldn't say anything.

As long as the years are long, history will eventually be mixed with legends.

Gawain, who has also witnessed the long years, has to admit this.

"I'm not interested in spreading secrets when it's not necessary." Gawain said.

"It couldn't be better."
