As Melita and her companions swept across the plains of the Holy Spirit at high speed, surrounded by the heavy metal of death, Gawain in the city of Cecil in the south was already aware of the imminent visit of this special mission.

The news was originally from the North Harbor, and the Krakens who had returned to the mainland first restored contact with the Empire's neural network and brought information about the dragons' visit, and then the news was officially confirmed by the Grand Duke Victoria Wilde of the North.

After learning from the briefing about the bizarre experiences of the exploration team led by Kassandra over the past few days, Gawain was also stunned.

In the study of Cecil Palace, Gao Wen was putting down the pen of reviewing documents, he looked up at Tyr, who was napping in the corner of the room, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Kraken's sense of direction...... Isn't it more or less problematic? ”

Tyr flicked his tail lazily and raised one eyelid in a daze: "You're prejudiced...... We Krakens are all natural travelers, and it's extremely rare to have a poor sense of direction once in a while - you've only known a few Sirens......"

“…… I can understand the poor sense of direction, but anyway, it's a bit of an exaggeration to swim all the way across the stormy sea to Talrond," Gawain shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "and swimming straight to the human world...... This is beyond the scope of poor sense of direction, right? ”

Tyr yawned heavily, as if she had finally finished her third or fourth sleep of the day, she shook her head, propped up her upper body with the snake's tail, and with the advantage of her body length, she directly bypassed the bookshelf and poked her head in front of the map on the other side of the bookshelf, and her eyes swept over the sea and land on the upper edge of the map: "Isn't it a good thing?" I reversed the game and helped you establish a connection with Antavien, and Kassandra reversed, but accidentally brought news of Tallund...... So we should be flexible in our thinking, and sometimes try the unknown path, maybe there will be unexpected gains......"

Hearing this, Gawain couldn't help but glance up and down at the deep-sea salted fish: "Although you don't make much sense in what you say, your appearance of messing around is indeed very courageous." ”

He then shook his head without waiting for Tyr's response, and looked thoughtfully at the incomplete "known world map": "Speaking of which...... It's really hard to imagine that Tallund has undergone such a shocking change in just over a month...... Frankly, even I never imagined things would turn out like this. ”

"In fact, there are very few people who can really feel this great change and understand all this, and for the vast majority of people, even if they know about the Dragon Nation, they will use it as an afterthought--Tallrond is too far away, so far away that it is almost the outer world, even if it is already the highest of the great waves of the age, but how can those tiny droplets sense the tumbling of the entire sea?" Tyr wagged the tip of his tail and said with a serious expression that Gawain had never seen before, "But you are different, you are standing at the center of this turning point, so your feelings must be different from ordinary people." ”

Gawain looked at Tyr in surprise, and after looking at it for a few seconds, he couldn't help but say, "It's rare to hear you say something so profound." ”

"Because it's tiring to think about these things, I'd rather spend my extra energy sleeping," Tyr shrugged, "but that doesn't mean I can't think about them—I've lived a long time, and you'll probably forget about that often, and in such a long time, even if I slept ninety percent of the time, the remaining ten percent would be enough for me to see all the historical changes of civilization for a whole season." ”

Gao Wen looked at each other curiously: "...... Why is it suddenly so emotional today? ”

“…… This morning, a friend of mine in Antavien sent the news in a psionic voice that we had finally succeeded in lighting up the Core Fusion Tower after applying the Arcane Channeling Device to the Reactor...... It's only lit up for a moment, but it's something we haven't done in a million years," Tyr said, laughing, "Even if the energy supply is restored, repairing the ship is still a long way off, but my sisters have been greatly encouraged, and now there is an unprecedented whisper in the Siren's song, which says, 'The turning point is coming'......"

Gawain subconsciously repeated Tyr's words: "The turning point is coming......"

"Yes, you often say things like that, but this phrase has a special meaning to the Kraken," Tyr said slowly, "The races on land often say 'times have changed' - civilization says many times every season, every technological advance, every regime change, you seem to change every few hundred years, but for the Kraken, our time has not changed in more than a million years, for those dragons...... It should be pretty much the same. ”

Gawain looked at Tyr quietly before he sighed for a long time: "No wonder you suddenly feel so much emotion after hearing the news of Talrond. ”

"Who knows...... Maybe it's just a little bit of a cranky thought after you've had enough sleep," Tyr said as he stretched hard, his tail slightly numb and wrinkled from sleep instantly stretched out in the room, "Compared to this, Kassandra and Talrond's messengers must be almost there...... It feels like news of the entry came from the Rock Fortress two hours ago. ”

Gao Wen nodded: "The city is ready, and they should almost ...... when they calculate the time."

Before he finished speaking, the magic net terminal set up next to his desk suddenly lit up with a buzzing sound, and after the communication was connected, Thorderlin's figure immediately appeared in the holographic projection: "Your Majesty, I observed that the dragons crossed the Kant region, and they came. ”

"Good!" Gawain smiled, "We can put out all the battles to welcome the guests." ”

……

The dragons cut through the clouds and skimmed the sky, and the rolling hills and majestic mountains and rivers of the southern region met Merita's huge eyes, and she finally saw the river that flowed quietly on the north side of the Dark Mountains, and at the end of her vision appeared the city of the magical industry that had been built across the river and had become famous in the human world, and her mood was relieved when the towers and crystals that shone in the sunlight and floated in the air.

But what made her feel most relieved was that the almost terrible "music" on her back finally stopped—even now, she still felt her wings flutter as she recalled the moment when Kassandra sang loudly......

At that moment, she was almost taken away by Kassandra's throat, and it was her strong willpower that kept her from causing a plane crash, but if that "music" lasted a little longer...... But it's hard to say.

Melita was thinking about it when she heard the voice of the deep sea witch coming from her back: "Woo-oh - see it! Is that the city of Cecil? I haven't seen it before, but I've only seen it a few times on the human magic web show......"

"Then you can have a good time exploring this time," Melita replied somewhat absent-mindedly, "There are so many incredible things about that city, and I'm sure even the immortals will find a lot of interest there." ”

Kassandra looked interested: "Oh? For example? ”

"For example......" Melita opened her mouth, but she was a little stuck for a while, and after thinking for a long time, she barely managed to put away her divergent thoughts, "Cecil's Mi Yanglong ......"

Kassandra finally sensed that the Blue Dragon Lady's mood seemed to be a little strange, as if as she got closer to Cecil, the latter's mood also became nervous, which made her wonder: "What's wrong with you?" It feels like you're weird. ”

"Nothing," Melita shook her head, completely reining in her thoughts, "just thinking of the last time she left the city." At that time, I never thought that I would come back in the same person and posture as I am now...... I'm afraid Gawain Cecil didn't think about what would happen after that. ”

Kassandra didn't hear back for a moment, as if she didn't know what to say, but soon she broke the silence again: "Ah! Something seems to be flying over there—is it welcoming us? ”

Melita looked up into the distance, and the people behind her and to her side raised their heads almost at the same time, and in the sinking sunset, they saw the scene above the city in the distance—

They saw that the city was lit up from the edge to the interior, and in the fading sky, the progressive artificial lights were like stars falling into the earth, and several flickering flying devices flew into the sky from the center of the city, which were flying machines with an inverted cone body and dragon wing structure. Then, after a few moments, two directional lights rose from near the mechanical bridge of the Baishui River, and the flying machines suspended in mid-air spread out in the sky to both sides - the bomb pylons at the bottom of those machines were replaced by huge crystal devices, which gradually filled with a hazy brilliance under the cover of the ground lights, and then suddenly, a huge holographic projection full of 100 meters high appeared over the city.

The content of the holographic projection is not complicated, just two words written in dragon language and human lingua franca: welcome, friend.

Melita looked at the sky in amazement, forgetting words for a moment, and the dragons beside her were equally stunned—they didn't seem to expect that they would be greeted so solemnly in the human realm, or that they would see the words of their homeland so far away from Talrond.

Unconsciously, Melita blinked, trying to record what she was seeing, but then she remembered that the Omega network had gone offline and most of the implants in her body had been rendered useless or removed—she shook her head, feeling regretful, and at about the same time, the lights from the ground had changed:

As the dragons entered the sky above the city, some of the surging lights on the surface began to dim or diminish in brightness, while others became brighter, drawing distinct lines and arrows on the darkening ground, and the flying machines that created holographic projections in the air buzzed closer, hovering around the dragons, firing a simple light signal.

This is a human-provided landing guidance aid.

Melita was stunned for a moment, and then out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that a flying machine was approaching her from the side, she sensed the fluctuation of the communication spell, and subconsciously connected to hear the communication from the flying machine: "Welcome to Cecil City - this is the commander of the Dragonborn Special Operations Brigade, Sugina, and I will provide you with pilot services next." ”

Melita was half a beat slow to react: "Dragonborn...... Are you a Dragonborn? ”

"Yes," the voice across from the teleportation spell sounded like it had a hint of a smile, "but here I'm just a soldier on a mission. Nice to meet you, Miss Dragon from Talrond. ”

"I ...... It's nice to meet you," Melita said, feeling a little flustered, "anyway...... Thank you for your help, Miss Sugina. ”

The aircraft collectively lowered their altitude, and behind them, a small group of seven dragons slowed down and flew in the direction of the city's landing site.

In the city, countless pairs of eyes looked up at the sky, all the places allowed to gather were full of shaking figures, and when the dragons in the dusk officially appeared in the sky, the exclamations of the various districts came and went.

The well-informed Cecil people have once again gained an insight that is difficult for other nations to replicate: they have witnessed the first flight of pure-blooded dragons from outside human civilization into human cities, and unlike the Bard's story, these dragons are not "dragons" who come to plunder treasure and land, but "ambassadors" who represent another civilization and forge friendship with humans.

Of course, the Cecil people have seen dragons, and even the capital of the empire can often see dragonborn students wearing steel wings practicing flight, and it is precisely because of this that the citizens of this city only exclamated when they saw the dragon appear, and did not cause any greater commotion, but on the other hand, the "pure-blooded dragon" from Talrond was very different from the dragonborn they usually saw - any human with normal observation ability could see it, The dragons that swept over the city at the moment had larger bodies, more majestic postures, and more healthy wings.

That's a real dragon.

Gawain stood in front of the largest "Pioneer Square" in the center of the city, standing on a high platform and watching the dragons gradually approach. At this moment, the sky was approaching the end of dusk, and those sky overlords who seemed to fly out of the legend were all plated with a layer of pale golden light and shadow, and they flew from the northern sky, and under the guidance of a series of navigation lights and escort teams, they came smoothly to the sky above the square, and then lowered their altitudes one after another.

Around the square, reporters and photographers from various newspapers and radio programs on the Magic Network were busy quickly, trying their best to capture all the details of the dragon's arrival, and the citizens who were lucky enough to come to the first scene to watch the ceremony had already begun to wave the flags in their hands, and adults and children were in a state of excitement and nervousness.

Gawain took a deep breath, then opened his eyes wide and searched carefully for a figure among the dragons, and after a few glances, he finally saw the somewhat familiar figure.

The blue dragon descended, rough but steady, and almost at a moment's pause, the dragon also turned its head and met Gawain's eyes.

She nodded in the direction of the platform.
