Chapter 1112: The Retired Gods

Baloger and Melita subconsciously glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the same blankness in each other's eyes, Gawain's words were clear, every word was the lingua franca of the Loren continent, but it was so difficult to understand after forming sentences - who understands this thing when you say it!

Gawain obviously knew that the situation in front of him was too complicated to communicate, he thought about it for a moment, and then glanced to the side—it seemed to be some kind of brief exchange, before he looked back at the hologram: "Are you interested in talking to her?" The situation is more complicated, and there are many things that are not so convenient for me, an outsider, to communicate - the matter of dragons and dragons, it is easier for you to communicate with each other. ”

"And her...... Talk about? Grand Duke Baloger paused for a moment, and after realizing the true meaning of Gawain's proposal, his expression instantly became wonderful, and the memories of millions of years spread out in his mind like layers of yellowed scrolls, those ancient fears, long forbearance, difficult planning, and the complex emotions that had sprung up for the god who had sheltered his race through countless disasters all came out in an instant, weighing heavily on his heart, and the primeval dragon suddenly felt that he had some timidity, Although he didn't take a step back in the face of the angry out-of-control god, this moment ...... He was genuinely timid.

He didn't know if he was ready to face the old god again at this moment, especially since he had personally planned to kill the god, but he knew ...... It will be an extremely important moment in his life.

Perhaps it is also the most important moment for the reborn dragons after entering a new era.

"I ...... I never thought that we would have to face such a thing after the arrival of the new era, but many things in this world will not make us fully prepared," the Grand Duke of Dragon's Blood said in a low voice, as if in response to Gawain, and as if to say it to himself, and finally he raised his head with determination in his eyes, "Let me ...... Meet her, and let me be sure that this incredible thing you are mentioning is true or false. ”

Gao Wen in the holographic projection nodded: "Okay, I'll adjust the device to an angle." ”

As soon as the words fell, the image projected by the magic net terminal began to spin to the side, and Melita and Grand Duke Balogel took a deep breath at the same time, calming their pounding hearts.

A pale golden arc of light appeared at the edge of the picture, and Baloger swallowed at the same time, he covered his anxiety with his face carved in gold and stone, and pressed all those endless thoughts about the gods, about the end of the war, about the heavy history and the hazy future, and he was ready to face the betrayal of himself? The goddess who was betrayed by the entire dragon clan -

The picture completely turned, and a golden dome still in the form of a dragon egg appeared in front of Baloger and Melita, and a newspaper was floating in front of the dome? On the other side, there are several tea cups floating in the air.

Those cups float up and down? Pouring the liquid inside? Look...... It was a pleasure to play.

Baloger: "......"

Melita: "......"

"Ah, Baloger, and Melita—long time no see?" Voices coming from the other side of the screen? Is it a gentle female voice that sounds familiar, but it's a little muffled because it's separated by a thick layer of eggshells? "I see you're still there...... That's nice. ”

Baloger finally regained his ability to think? Many of the previous complex ideas were disrupted all at once? He subconsciously said, "How is this an egg?" ”

"You sent it as an egg, huh?" Gawain's voice came from the side of the picture? "Does this Melita know? And there are also live video testimonies......"

"Ahem, no, that's not what I meant," Baloger coughed suddenly, realizing that his brain was already a little sluggish under the continuous onslaught? So hurry up and adjust your state? "I mean...... How is it still an egg? Just heard what you described? I thought ......"

"Huh? I see what you mean," Gawain's figure walked into the frame from the side, standing next to the Golden Dome? "She did wake up, but still in the form of a dragon egg...... We've just discussed the hatching of eggs in depth, but your gods themselves don't know when they will hatch. ”

The corners of Balogel's mouth twitched, and he felt that things were going out completely beyond his prediction, but suddenly he felt that this development seemed to be good...... He didn't have to face that familiar figure anymore, and he didn't have to bear that unspeakable pressure.

All he had to face was a man who was drinking tea and reading the newspaper...... Egg.

He looked at the holographic projection in front of him and opened his mouth, but the next second he was a little stunned, he found that he didn't know how to call each other at this moment, and after another two seconds, the title in the depths of his memory came flooding up, and he sounded the syllable in his throat: "My ......"

However, after he had uttered the first syllable, he was abruptly interrupted: "Stop, Balogel, and say that word again—no more honorifics, no more worship, no more regard me as God, call me by my name, and henceforth only by my name." ”

Balogel took a light breath, and the next few syllables took a lot of effort, but he finally succeeded in saying it: "Enya...... Lady. ”

At this moment, the Grand Duke of Dragon's Blood suddenly felt that something in the depths of his soul had silently dissipated - that thing had been lurking in the deepest part of his soul, dormant for an unknown amount of time, I don't know how deep, it might even resurface his soul one day in the future, but at this moment, that thing was really completely gone—an indescribable sense of relief enveloped Baloger.

"Yes, that's right, Baloger—you're adults, remember?" The voice of the Golden Dome also came from the holographic projection, with a gentle smile, and compared to the gentleness of looking down on everything when she was a god, her smile at this moment was more like a friend who had been separated for many years, with a sense of relief and relaxation, "You have defeated me, cut the shackles with your own hands, and performed a feat that has never been done before by a mortal race, so you should be confident—in front of any god, let alone me, a 'god' who is no longer a god." ”

"Enya...... Ma'am," Baloger's voice was a little strange, "we ......"

"It's all gone," the Golden Dome whispered, "you've given so much...... In exchange, it should be the future, not the past. Actually, I didn't want to meet you so soon, but Gawain thinks I should talk to you as soon as possible to avoid some hidden dangers after entering the 'Godless Age', and I also have some things to explain......"

……

In Cecil City, Gawain saw that things were starting to turn for the better, and he prepared to leave first.

He had more than one thing to do, and there was another meeting waiting for him to arrange today.

Before leaving, he looked at Enya and said, "After that, it's your 'own business', let me retire - this portable magic network terminal will stay here for the time being, it only has the most basic communication functions, but a special terminal will be delivered here in two days, you can look forward to it." ”

"Thank you for the arrangement," Enya said, the glimmer of the eggshell fluctuating up and down, "and you can also look forward to the 'drink' I have made for you, I have found a little feeling." ”

Gawain's gaze fell on the teacups floating next to the Golden Dome, and a smile appeared on his face, and after a polite goodbye to Enya, he left the room with a smile.

Soon after, in the fortress of disobedience in the depths of the Shadow Realm, Gawain stepped alone through the energy barrier door leading to the courtyard area—the chaotic and dim shattered earth stretched before his eyes, and a "path" of ancient alloy and steel chains snaked forward, and at the end of the shattered land, the mountain-like body still lay silently prone among the ruins, from which a holy glow rose to illuminate the dimly dark place.

Around this massive body, a large number of new magical devices were in operation, and some kind of invisible "field" covered the entire area, although it was formless and insubstantial, Gawain knew that this verification technology called the "anti-divine barrier" was blocking the spiritual contamination from the gods.

He walked over to the giant deer Ammon, and saw that the magic web terminal in front of Amorn was projecting a new show from Film Pictures, which was a hot topic of discussion among the citizens of the empire recently.

As Gawain approached, Ammon also turned his gaze at the same time, and a low, pleasant voice with a slight resonance sounded in the air: "It's been a while now, Gawain." ”

"Are you happy with these things?" Gawain smiled and nodded, as if chatting with an old friend, and said casually, "These special equipment were created by the Empire's chief craftsman himself. ”

"Quite satisfied, my friend," said Amone's tone, pleasantly unseen by Gawain, "after three thousand years of boredom, these amusing gadgets are real treasures...... You have indeed created something amazing. ”

"If you're satisfied," Gawain said, and then he didn't mention the Silver Empress, but looked around seemingly casually, and suddenly spoke, "Isn't Lady Mirmina?" ”

The atmosphere in the courtyard froze instantly, and Amone didn't make a sound, only the program projected by the magic net terminal was still playing on the side, and a cluster of extremely small sparks flashed in the corner of Gawain's vision, but when he looked over, he only saw a chaotic darkness.

This stalemate and embarrassment lasted for nearly half a minute before Amone finally spoke: "Mirmina...... This is the name of the goddess of magic, isn't she missing? Ran into the deepest part of the shadow world...... Why do you think she's here? ”

Gawain's gaze swept over the darkness around him, and he shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "Doesn't she follow the drama here every day - or is it actually you who watches the magic shadow drama at high intensity?" ”

Amone still didn't speak, and Gawain continued: "If one terminal is not enough for the two of you, in fact, I can install one more here to prevent you from grabbing ......."

"Come out," Ammon said, to the side, "and don't hide if they've been discovered." ”

As soon as the words fell, a swirling cloud appeared out of thin air and emerged from the dark space, and there were arcane sparks shining inside the cloud, countless mysterious runes constrained the bottom of the cloud, and a huge but obviously feminine figure quickly condensed and formed in the mist, and in just a few seconds, an unusually tall, illusory and transparent lower body, and a beautiful female "goddess" appeared in front of Gawain - and glared at Amone for the first time.

"You've betrayed me again—how many times?" Mirmina crossed her waist and said with exasperation in her tone, "You didn't even hesitate! ”

"What I hesitated was a very fierce inner struggle."

"A second in total?!"

"Mental activity is a matter of moments......

Gawain had expected that Mirmina was here, but he was stunned when he saw the two gods suddenly arguing like mortals, and he watched in amazement as he watched the exchange between Mirmina and Amorne, which had obviously become a kind of way for them to get along - this not only subverted the imagination of mortals about the gods, but even subverted Gawain's own imagination.

But soon, Gawain had a vague idea of something, and his gaze as he looked at the two former gods changed from astonishment to thoughtfulness, and finally to a smile.

It was only then that Amone seemed to remember that there was a third person at the scene, and he coughed lightly to end the dispute with Mirmina: "Don't quarrel, there are guests in my courtyard today." ”

Mirmina paused reluctantly, then her gaze fell on Gawain, and after a little embarrassment and hesitation, she broke the silence in a low voice: "Hello. ”

"Lady Mirmina," Gawain tilted his head, a smile on his face, "this is not the first time we've dealt with each other, but it's the first time we've met. ”

"The last time we interacted was the grand funeral you prepared for me." The Goddess of Magic said in a calm tone, she seemed calm and elegant now, and she couldn't even see the posture of arguing with Ammon just now.

Maybe the human part isn't stable enough?

A little conjecture popped up in Gawain's heart, and at the same time asked casually, "Are you still satisfied with that funeral?" ”

"Surprisingly, what you did amazed me for a long time, but also satisfied - that funeral made everything very successful."

Gawain nodded, and said in a gossipy tone: "But after that, you have been hiding in the Shadow Realm and not contacting us, because you are worried that the 'decoupling' will happen again?" ”

Mirmina's eyes became more and more serious as she looked at Gawain, and she lowered her height - the clouds and mist on her lower body, like a complicated court dress, folded in layers, and looked as if she was crouching, although this still did not make her and Gawain eye level, but it was enough to make the conversation feel a little more comfortable: "You may think that I am too cautious, but I must avoid all hidden dangers - at that time I was not sure how well your neural network 'purified', and I was not sure that you and the mortals you led could be" Divinity's uncharted territory explores how far it goes. ”

"So are you a little more relieved now?"

"Not completely relieved, but at least half reassured," said Milmina earnestly, and then suddenly laughed, "otherwise I would never have come out—even if the old deer betrayed me without hesitation." ”

Amone's voice immediately came from the side: "I said it, I had a very fierce inner struggle at that time......"
