The massive blue dragon began to slow down one last time, Melita adjusted the angle of her descent with precision, the majestic continental shield of Talrond was already in front of her, and she saw the circular entrance slowly rotating in front of the passage, the glimmer of light from the ring device standing out in the night—Omega had received the identification signal of the returnee, and the passage had been opened.

Gawain stood behind Melita's neck, which was the most forward position. Here he stared at the starlight and artificial lights in the sky above the continent of Talrond, and for a moment, he was about to shout to stop Merita and alert the others to the strange situation on this continent, but at the last moment, he still stubbornly resisted the urge to speak out to warn.

Amber was staring at the lights of the Dragon Nation with wide eyes, and every now and then let out an exclamation or two, Veronica was staring thoughtfully at the shield on the continent, as if analyzing the principle behind this mysterious technology, Melita was obviously in a very good mood, and she had been introducing Talrond since the beginning - they couldn't see the scene just now.

What is that "monster" covered in Tallund, in the most insane and unspeakable form, with countless chains spreading? How long has it been entrenched on this continent? These questions are not known for the time being, but one thing Gawain is certain of is that it is clearly inseparable from the dragon realm, and it is by no means new to this day.

It's part of Tallund, it's something he's going to face on this trip...... As surprising and confusing as it was, Gawain suspected that the "monster" would be the biggest takeaway from his trip to Tallrond, and if he turned around and left here, his trip would have been in vain.

After all, everyone was ready to face the gods before they set off, and the scene they had just seen, although terrifying, did not exceed Gawain's psychological expectations—but the abnormalities had already appeared, and he had to be vigilant.

After all, that monster ...... Maybe it should be described as "Him."

Gawain was silent, her expression more serious than ever, Melita was gliding down towards the brightly lit land, not paying attention to what the passengers were doing on her back, and Amber and Veronica had noticed the change in Gawain's expression, and they quietly came to the latter's side, Veronica asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?" ”

"You shouldn't have seen it......" Gawain didn't hide it, he felt the need to keep Amber and Veronica awake as well, and as for why he observed something that no one else could see...... This question of detail is not important here, "the whole of Tallund is shrouded in a very large 'being', and that thing has a mythological character. ”

Veronica's expression instantly became as serious as Gawain's, and Amber immediately moved closer by half a step and lowered her voice: "Are you going to run away?" I know this process ......."

"We're here for 'Him,'" Gawain glanced at the shame of all things, "It's all here, where are you going?" ”

"Actually, I have some ways to ...... the Shadow Realm," Amber subconsciously said a half-sentence, and then shrunk her neck and became serious, "Of course that's what I said......"

"Be vigilant, this is a very foreign world to humans," Gawain exhaled softly, reminding in a low voice, "Try not to act alone in Talrond, and report back to me any discoveries." ”

Amber and Veronica responded, and Gawain's gaze slowly moved upwards to the starry sky of the Arctic region.

The stars twinkled, but there was no sign of the facilities left by the Voyager in the starry sky, but all kinds of clues reminded Gawain that these dragons, who had been active from ancient times to the present day, were "imprisoned" by some unspeakable object, and the connection between them was definitely much deeper than he had imagined at first.

While Gawain was talking to Amber and Veronica, Melita's deceleration and gliding finally came to an end, and soon, the surface of the almost transparent energy shield above Talrond rippled, and a passage that seemed to be formed by light condensation appeared on the surface of the shield, and at the same time, a huge metal structure suspended in the air also flew from not far away, rotating the entrance that covered the front of the passage.

A trembling circular interface suddenly appeared in the air, and a voice that seemed to be synthesized sounded out of nowhere: "Welcome, guests from the human world - your access permission has been granted in advance, and Omega salutes you." We hope you all have an unforgettable journey in Tallund. ”

"Wow......" Amber suddenly exclaimed slightly, she wanted to poke Gawain's arm and whisper what it was, but the next second she realized that it might be a bit embarrassing to do so, so she stopped her impulse, just stared at the holographic projection floating in the air, and the huge suspended metal device behind the projection - she couldn't see where the projection was located, and she couldn't understand how such a huge device was floating in the air, It doesn't have any visible anti-gravity components at all, and even the mana fluctuations are weird......

"Hello, Omega - I've heard from Melita that you're the high-level intelligence that keeps many of Tallund's facilities running," Gawain was actually surprised, but he controlled his mood well, and stood on Melita's back, his expression was very calm, "I hope we get along well." ”

The edge of the aura trembled: "Omega has the most complete personality database in the world - we will be happy, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Race." ”

As she spoke, Omega's interface became transparent, and the metal device behind it also rotated half a circle, completing the authentication and landing of everyone, and the gate to Talrond opened, and Melita immediately flapped her wings and glided skilfully and briskly through the gate and passage, and flew into the interior of the continental shield.

In the case of low-speed flight, she lowered the strength of the protective barrier, allowing more air flow from the outside to enter the barrier, so a warm and comfortable wind immediately blew on the faces of Gawain and the others—Amber's eyes widened in surprise, because she found that the air inside the shield of Talrond actually made her feel like a spring breeze in this extremely cold Arctic ice ocean.

It's not just a shield!

"You've built a controlled ecosystem in Tallund?" Gawain couldn't help but speak, "This layer of shield covering the continent also functions as an ecological dome?" ”

"Yes, obviously," Melita replied with a hint of pride, "the North Pole is not a great place to live without a controlled ecosystem – although many bards describe dragons as a race capable of living in extreme environments, and say that we will build palaces in the depths of volcanic craters and thousand-year-old glaciers, but most of those stories are made up by ourselves – who doesn't love a warm and hot environment in real life?" ”

"Wow-" Amber couldn't help but sigh, "I thought you really liked to sleep in magma and icebergs......"

Gawain was a little curious: "In that case, why did you leave behind those obviously misleading stories when you traveled in the world?" ”

"For handsome."

Gawain Amber Veronica: "......"

The atmosphere on the dragon's back fell into an awkward silence for a while, and Melita quickly passed through an aerial route formed by the guiding lights, the huge dragon wings fluttered in the air, and in a low dragon groan, the dragon crossed a mountain outside of Talrond, and the next moment, the magnificent city and a large number of giant buildings located between the mountain peaks came into the sight of Gawain and the others!

They saw that there were lofty mountains in front of them, and the traces of "human" transformation had completely changed the outline of those peaks, countless huge buildings like palaces and castles were built along the mountain, the columns and walls between the halls were full of exquisite and magnificent sculptures, and there were carefully arranged lights and projection devices all over the palace walls and domes, and huge holograms and lights reflected each other, so that those palaces that looked ancient and gorgeous were filled with the unique atmosphere of the fusion of classical architecture and modern technology—— But beyond these magnificent buildings on the hills, what struck Gawain even more consternation were the urban buildings at the foot of the mountains, scattered between plains and river valleys.

It was a huge city he had never seen in this world, not even in the days of Gondor—he saw countless tall man-made buildings lined the plain like a forest, and the magnificent buildings were built for the size of a dragon, almost every one of which surpassed the Silver City of St. Sunil; Between the high-rise buildings, there are gardens and artificial jungles supported by giant columns or anti-gravity devices, all of which have separate ecological domes that maintain different scenery in the four seasons; In the vast area between the cities, you can also see other extraordinarily large buildings, which seem to be some kind of factory or some other infrastructure, and you can see a large number of pipes, support beams, tanks supporting their main bodies, and countless ribbons of lights connecting them to the city.

It was the polar night in the Arctic, but the lights between the factories, palaces, and buildings made the city of Tallund as bright as day, and in the lights that seemed to never go out, Gawain saw a large number of streams of light moving between the city's roads, and even saw many lights moving neatly in several layers over the city - some of them were flying dragons, and some were all kinds of vehicles, they were in order, and many signals floating in the air commanded the traffic. And next to the most prosperous air traffic line, you can also see a huge holographic projection, which presents a ......

It's commercials, all sorts of commercials, there's also a big event trailer, a snapshot of art of unknown significance, or even a simple misconception of characters – that seems to be a kind of "dragon art" as well.

At this distance, Gawain could only see the picture, but he could not hear the sound coming from those bustling urban areas, but just looking at the scene in front of him, he could see a lot of things.

Finally, for the first time in this world, the well-informed traverser's eyes widened, and he was truly stunned.

On the contrary, Amber beside him was less stunned - because everything in Tallrond was already beyond the realm of the common sense of Miss Half-Elf, and it didn't matter if the so-called "degree" was beyond the limit, and for her, it didn't make much difference whether the dragons of Tallrond lived in the crater or in a residential building, anyway, they were all the same incomprehensible, they were all the same "Oh I should go to this awesome thing" - so except for a few exclamations, she seemed very calm, and all that was left was to look around curiously.

As for Veronica, she expressed the same consternation as Gawain: as an ancient rebel who had lived through the glory of Gondor, although she had not seen the same places as Tallrond, she could see a lot of hidden information in these city facilities, and it was clear that the "Dragon Nation" was very different from what she had imagined before she set out.

It is also very different from Gawain's imagination.

"How's it going, spectacular?" Melita's proud voice came from the front, "This is one of the most prosperous places in Tallund, the city of Aurora 'Argondol', where the headquarters of the Council is located, as is the headquarters of the Mithril Treasury. ”

“…… It's not at all like what I imagined the dragon kingdom to be," Gawain said, shaking his head after a few seconds of silence, "and it's very different from what any bard or scholar in the human world would imagine. ”

"Ah, you don't think we're going to build castles out of magma and icebergs, do you?" Melita joked, "And the castle will be full of gold and princesses from all over the world......"

"My imagination is not so exaggerated - I guessed that you have a high civilization, but I didn't expect your city to develop to such a ......," Gawain said, suddenly feeling a little short of words, because he felt not only shocked after seeing those cities, but also a certain kind of ...... in the cityscape as a "satellite spirit" who had seen too many things Cramped, so he sorted out the vocabulary for several seconds before finally coming up with a more appropriate statement, "I didn't expect your city to develop to such a 'limit'." ”

It was the most neutral statement he could think of.

Melita probably thought that Gawain, as the "emperor of the human world", would only be shocked and surprised after seeing Tallund because of his lack of knowledge, but she didn't expect that the other party's first evaluation turned out to be "limit", which is a word that sounds full of praise and is actually rich in meaning, and Melita, who often deals with humans, tasted Gawain's true meaning from this word at the first time.

She was a little surprised and surprised, and then her eyes couldn't help but sweep the city that had covered the whole land, swept the huge factories and enterprise complexes between the cities, and swept the advanced, prosperous, and beautiful scenery that had not changed fundamentally for countless years.

“…… It's really limiting," Miss Dragon said in a somewhat dull voice, "and if you see too much, you feel like there's no change." ”
