Melita left.

The refractive stance obscured the dragon's massive body, and a passive wind swept through the sky of Cecil City, faintly distorting ripples in the background of the clouds and skylight, but no one knew that a dragon had ever visited the city, except for a few strong men and a watchtower dedicated to detecting magical stealth units.

Gawain stood in front of the gate of the Magic Technique Research Institute, looking up in the direction Melita had left, and only withdrew his gaze after a long time.

Against the Tide Empire...... The Ultimate Book...... Knowledge stolen from constellations......

He savored the newly gathered information, sketching out the outlines of the gods and ancient history in his mind, and after a long thought, he smiled and shook his head, looking back at the Magic Technique Research Institute behind him.

Hundreds of researchers are busy in this facility, more than a dozen large and small laboratories and project teams run in it, in the psychic network, the Origin Laboratory has hundreds of simulations every day, in the workshop of the machine building, the collision of gears and levers is non-stop, in Saint-Sunil, in the city of Luan, in the Mage Guild and the Scholars Guild, countless people full of wisdom and knowledge are gathering to reunite the profound knowledge scattered in human society, and to redraw the fragmented ancient technology......

All of this is driven by thousands of people, by the entire Cecil society, from people, for people, not from the heavenly technology dug up from the ruins of aliens, not blueprints drawn out of thin air by anyone in the territory, not miracles, not gifts.

……

The dragon flew across the vast expanse of winter's clear sky, the refractive stance gradually dissipated, the clouds and sunlight interlaced and cast dappled light and shadow on the blue scales, and the scenery of the wilderness and hills was projected in a crystal eyeball, and the mighty king of the sky circled twice in the air, then lowered his head and rushed to the earth like a meteorite.

After almost thrilling gliding and deceleration, the blue dragon crashed into a hundred-year-old giant tree, and broke the hundred-meter-high giant tree, and then the unbalanced body went all the way forward in the impact and tumbling of the mountain, and the thunderous roar continued to sound, countless giant trees and solid rocks were torn apart in the impact, and the earth was plowed out of a deep ravine nearly half a kilometer long.

The blue dragon finally stopped at the foot of a cliff, and after half a minute of respite, she struggled to prop up her head, countless earth, stone branches and leaves falling from her body, and several terrible wounds flowed with scorching, glowing blood.

The implants and modified glands in the dragon's body immediately began to work, and began to repair the strong and tough body, Melita raised her head, the scales near her neck opened as if some kind of heat dissipation device, and the metallic lining and glowing pipes and interfaces were exposed under the scales, and streams of hot steam gushed out from the cracks of these implants, making the blue dragon can't help but snort.

"Damn...... I don't like synergists...... But the assistive heart used now is a limited edition ......"

Melita grunted, her voice rumbling, but she still took out a large spear-shaped syringe out of nowhere, she held the syringe with her front paws, and plunged the tip deep into the scaly gap below her neck, and with the hiss of the syringe to relieve pressure, a liter of powerful compound synergist and the same amount of regenerative agent were injected into the veins, and her two auxiliary hearts, which were on the verge of tearing, finally eased.

The extra three hearts and the Bionic Pump can give dragons who need to travel far enough to give them a huge boost in stamina and survivability, but in any case, talking about the Black Trap with the aliens is also a reminder of the taboo knowledge of the gods...... Sure enough, it's still too exciting.

Melita breathed heavily, calming down the side effects of an overdose of the booster - although some dragons enjoyed the sensation and even had problems with the addiction to the booster, she was really not used to it.

After feeling a little better, she closed the scales around her neck and hid the implants again.

In Talrond's dragon society, implants and synergists have long been a part of dragon life, and newborn baby dragons undergo their first implant surgery even in their first decade of life – implanting a resonant core into their skull. This resonance core will establish a connection between the user and the "omega", so that the young dragon can talk to the powerful artificial intelligence, which will complete the knowledge and behavior guidance of the young dragon - so to speak, any normal dragon citizen of Talrond has an implant in his body 100%.

It's just that some dragons choose to leave the implant exposed, such as Speaker Andal, and some dragons prefer hidden modifications, such as Melita Pernia.

After a few dozen minutes of rest, Melita stood up, her bleeding wound had healed urgently, and it was no longer a problem to take off—although she wanted to rest a little longer, she knew that her colleagues who were monitoring the situation in the rear were probably already in a mess.

The blue dragon soared into the air, and soon reached a height where it could communicate directly with Talrond.

While it is possible to contact Tallund on the surface, all communications at that height will be heard by the dragon gods, and only at this altitude near the end of the sky, close to the legacy of the Voyager, will communications not be intercepted by any of the gods.

Even if the person on the other side of the communication was standing on the ground, at the door of the god's palace—millions of years had passed, and the remnants of the setter were still there.

The pale gold communication interface appeared in front of Melita, and she called out to the Mithril Treasury headquarters in the distance while maintaining her flight altitude: "Melita Pernia calls the support team, Melita Pernia calls the support team...... Hurry up and pick it up! I'm now with a grade 10 disability in the stratosphere and I can call you and hear it!! ”

Finally, a somewhat nervous and panicked voice came from the communication interface: "Melita! This is Noretta - what's going on over there? Your implant suddenly reports that two of your four hearts have exploded! And you also injected yourself with a triple dose of synergist! ”

Melita took a deep breath: "Whew...... It didn't blow up, I salvaged it with regenerant, but the sensor should be broken...... It's okay, I can feel them still jumping. ”

Hearing Melita's still spirited voice, Norretta, who was far away in Talrond, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and made a joke while relaxing: "Why is it so miserable - your embezzlement of customer gifts has finally been discovered by customers?" Was he pinned to the ground and beaten by a legendary powerhouse? ”

"I talked to Gawain Cecil about the Black Trap and the Empire," Melita said lightly, "and I accidentally said a few more words. ”

Unsurprisingly, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground and several exclamations during the communication.

The chaos caused by herself made the corners of Melita's mouth curl slightly.

A friend's exclamation came from the pale gold communication interface: "Melita! You are crazy!! You don't want to die?! ”

"Isn't that still alive?"

"What the hell is going on?" Noretta seemed to have finally calmed down, and sensed something strange from Melita's tone, "You can rest assured - Omega has stepped in, and Speaker Andal is on the line. ”

"Gawain Cecil has obtained the ultimate book made by the Tide Empire - don't exclaim, it's broken," Melita said unhurriedly, "and in addition, without my deliberate guidance, he has summarized one of the core laws of 'disobedience'." ”

There was a long silence on the other side of the communication, and then a voice came: "Which one?" ”

"Man takes over the divine power by human intelligence," Melita said, "and the baby who crawls out of the cradle needs to ...... with his own hands and feet."

The dignified and calm voice of Speaker Andal came from the communication channel: "Okay, no need to go on. ”

Even in this place close to the legacy of the "Voyager", at this height far from the ears and eyes of the gods, there are some taboos, so be careful.

Melita stopped the dangerous topic, and then, under the questioning of Noretta and Speaker Andal, carefully reported the events of today's meeting with Gawain Cecil.

At the end of the debriefing, she heard Speaker Andal let out a long sigh.

It was a sigh of relief.

The dragon elder who had lived for a long time asked in a deep voice, "Melita, in your opinion, the ordinary people of the Cecil Empire...... To what point? ”

Melita's answer was very direct: "Most of them are still ignorant and backward, controlled by the old kingship and theocratic thinking, and are only mechanically obeying the instructions of the government department, rather than really turning on the people's wisdom and acting independently. ”

Speaker Andal's voice seemed to be a little low: "...... yes, yes, it's not something that can be solved in a few years......"

"But we can't ignore the changes that have taken place," Melita continued, "It is true that the transformation of most people takes time, but it is true that various sprouts have already appeared in this land, or rather, the accumulation of this land itself has reached a critical point, and the appearance of Gawain Cecil has only advanced this process and effectively concentrated these sprouts, preventing them from silently disappearing into the darkness - these sprouts include doubts about theocracy, including the search for reason, This also includes the knowledge of the laws of nature, and now that Gawain is working in the right way, Cecil's society may be changing a little faster than we expect. ”

After another brief silence, Speaker Andal's voice sounded in a low voice: "...... You seem to have an extra little faith in Gawain Cecil and the order he has created. ”

Melita's answer remained calm: "I have seen changes in this land that have not been seen in a thousand years. ”

“…… Hopefully, your judgment is correct. Speaker Andal said in a deep voice.

After the Speaker's words fell, Norretta's voice interjected: "But in any case, it is a bit risky to leave the relics of the Tide Empire in human society after all, Melita, I think you had better recycle that book - Talrond can make some compensation for this, and Gawain Cecil shouldn't mind selling the dragon a favor, right?" ”

Melita shook her head, and was about to speak, but she heard Speaker Andal's voice sound again: "Noretta, trust Melita's judgment in this matter." ”

"But ......"

"Noretta, young you, are you more stubborn than an old man like me?"

Noretta paused for a moment: "...... I see, Your Excellency. ”

The matter finally came to an end, and Melita couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

She had challenged the rules and confronted shocking messages a little too many times today, and now that she thought about it, it felt like she had been on the verge of dying on the spot for hours.

Such an exciting work...... It can only be said that dealing with Gawain Cecil is not very good for the heart.

Not very good in the physiological sense.

"Melita, return to Talrond after finishing the work at hand," the voice of the white dragon Noretta came again from the other side of the communicator, "Your implant needs to be repaired, and your physical condition after the regurgitation needs to be carefully checked." ”

"I know, I don't need to say it—I'm dying of pain now," Melita said, sucking in her cold air, "I'm going to find a place to rest for a day or two, and I'll be back in Talrond when I regain my strength." ”

"Received - all the best."

"I received your blessing."

The communication hung up, and the pale golden communication interface turned into shimmering particles, which gradually dissipated into the air.

Melita breathed deeply, filling her lungs with cold air from high altitude, and then slowly exhaled.

With a dull ache in her muscles and skeleton, she began to slowly lower her height.

The land of Cecil's empire was more and more clearly reflected in her massive pupils.

Mountains and rivers, forests and plains, cities and villages, and countless people who live on this land.

"Has it changed in a thousand years...... I hope I'm really right......"

The refractive stance spreads on the scales, the figure of the dragon gradually disappears into the illusion created by the magic, the shadow of the dragon disappears across the sky, the windswept earth, the convoy full of supplies is departing, the hopeful migrants are settling down, and the scrappy team is gathering......
