Melita's revelation and the possibilities behind it made Gawain's breath pause for a moment.

This brief reaction was seen by Melita.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Gawain suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, leaned over and asked with a serious expression, "In what way and from what did they steal knowledge?" And why did this knowledge threaten to ruin the future of the world? ”

"The history of the Rebellion is a sensitive topic among the Dragons, and while it's not an absolute taboo, we almost never reveal it to the Foreigners," Melita narrowed her eyes slightly, as if observing Gawain's reaction, "Putting that aside for now, you seem to be quite concerned about this?" ”

Gawain knew that his reaction might have been a bit big, but he controlled his expression well, and responded calmly: "Of course I care - the end of all things will use this book to create a catastrophe that nearly destroyed Ansu, and now this book is in my hands again - if this thing has some kind of ancient curse or madness, then we will not face a problem of one or two casualties, and you dragons are nervous about this book...... It intensified my vigilance. ”

"You can rest assured that it has nothing to do with powers like curses, and the most dangerous thing is the knowledge itself," Melita shook her head, "For some reason, dragons on missions outside are forbidden to confide in the aliens what they know and where they come from, but about the Rebellion Against the Tide...... I can give you a hint. ”

"What?"

"Ethos in a state of spiritual ignorance must not master material technology beyond their capabilities," Melita said in a deep voice, "for they are both spiritual and material slaves. ”

Gawain was silent for two seconds.

For a soul who has crossed over from the earth, has been exposed to massive information baptism, and has been impacted by various ideological trends, Melita's sentence is actually quite simple to understand.

It's nothing more than digging out of the ancestral grave of aliens, and advanced technology has led to a technological crisis.

But his instincts, and the look in Melita's eyes as she said this, told him that this "crisis" might not be so simple.

Melita's mention of "almost ruining the future of the entire world" should not be said casually, but why would a mentally ignorant race destroy the "future" of the entire world after mastering advanced technology?

"Ruining the future of the whole world", in Gao Wen's understanding, should mean the loss of the expected development potential, means that the whole world will fall into some irreversible and pessimistic state, means no more progress, no more development, no more turnaround, and means eternal sinking......

If the "Tide Empire" just stole some of the technology of the "Ancient Fleet" and used these technologies to develop advanced weapons, then they might destroy themselves in the war and might use these weapons to destroy the dragons, but in Gawain's view, this is not a ruin in the future of the entire world - because this world has really developed more than one season of civilization, there is a shuffling mechanism such as "Demon Tide", and any race is just one of the passers-by in such a world, and the Tide Empire has self-destructed, There will be new kingdoms in their place, dragons will be destroyed, and new races will be born.

Such a world is still developing and changing, and the future is not destroyed, but only a reincarnation.

Of course, perhaps Melita is referring only to the crisis faced by the dragons themselves in the war, and the considerations about the macro-historical process of the world are just Gawain's own divergent thinking, but Gawain believes that an ancient race like the dragons, who have watched the change of epochs again and again, should not be so short-sighted.

He spoke his mind calmly.

"The serious consequences you are talking about should be more than just that the Tide Empire used some forbidden knowledge to create some kind of weapon, right?" He looked Melita in the eye, "What the hell did they do to nearly ruin the future of the world—can you tell?" ”

“…… No. Melita shook her head, her eyes madly suggestive.

Gawain successfully received the other party's hint: "Oh, it seems that it has something to do with the black trap and the gods again." ”

After a few conversations, he had already learned the rules of some of Melita's "unspeakable secrets", and deduced from this the current predicament of the dragons - they were supposed to be bound by the gods, which prevented them from revealing any secrets related to the gods, but in other words......

As long as they can't say it desperately, it must have something to do with God.

After all, these ultimate creatures are strong, burning the sky and the air with one breath, and they can plough eighteen acres of land with a roll, and there are few things they dare not say.

The information obtained by knocking on the side made Gawain think about it calmly-

The Tide Empire, an ancient civilization that once wrestled with the dragons in ancient times and almost won, according to Melita, is actually a "race in a state of spiritual ignorance", and this state of obscurity should be relative - after all, they have been able to create a "hotlink device" that can steal the data of the satellite constellation, and should have a fairly high level of technology, then their ignorance should refer to their spiritual civilization that cannot match the technology from the satellite group, or in other words, Couldn't match the technology from that ancient fleet.

And this "mismatch" situation has led them to cause some kind of crisis related to the gods and the black trap.

Melita couldn't say what exactly this crisis would be, but Gawain could speculate......

If the term "spiritually obscurantist" refers to the failure to escape from theocracy, then ...... Is the Empire Against the Tide fighting religious wars with superweapons? Pursuing the path of the gods with black technology? Trying to transform the real world into the kingdom of God? Or......

These black technologies have fallen into the hands of God......

Gawain's eyes flickered, and a hint of vigilance suddenly appeared.

Technology that is ahead of its time leads to a "mismatch", so Cecil's magic industry is developing so fast...... Has it also entered this "danger zone"? Will this technology turn into a crisis someday?

In the crisis created by the Counter-Tide Empire, are there any hard standards, or any "boundaries" that can be avoided?

He looked at Melita: "Will advanced technology necessarily lead to a crisis like the Rebellion?" What exactly is the development of technology that is 'ahead of the curve'? ”

Melita obviously knew what Gawain was worried about, and she smiled slightly, "Is the magic technology researched by the human researchers themselves?" Does it originate from man and ascribe to man? Do the common people in your empire see this technology as a tool, or as a miracle? ”

Gawain vaguely understood the key.

"If technology is something we have developed ourselves and applied to society as a whole, and ordinary people know that the source of technology is human beings and not gods, then it is safe, no matter how fast it develops, and vice versa...... Is that what it means that there will be a 'crisis' like a rebellion? ”

"As you say."

Gawain paid attention to Melita's expression and didn't continue to ask about the detailed reasons and what it had to do with the gods.

Because experience told him that if he asked again, it should be the link where this Blue Dragon lady "asked again and added money" under the pressure of 200+ blood pressure and the big failure of San Check.

Although Miss My little pony seemed to be quite thrilling every time, Gawain was really afraid that she would die on the spot in front of him if she didn't control it well......

But even if Melita can't give an answer, it doesn't prevent him from conjecturing along his current lines:

What is the specific difference between a technology tree with a complete R&D process and a technology tree that "fell from the sky"? Why is it that one is safe and the other can cause a crisis related to God? According to Melita's words, there seems to be a subtle match between "spiritual civilization" and "material technology", and this match ...... What exactly does it affect?

When all the questions flowed through his mind, Gawain suddenly felt that he had grasped a key point: how did society change in the process of developing and promoting technology?

He looked at Melita and said word by word: "The process of technological development is to attribute to people what once belonged to God - is the stolen advanced technology missing this link?" ”

Melita smiled, not the usual professional, precise smile.

Her smile was heartfelt.

"If you can understand this yourself, then it seems that you will not go astray."

Gawain exhaled softly.

In fact, he almost went astray.

Almost took the shortcut that almost all traversers would choose.

Fortunately, in this world of weird physical rules, there are no shortcuts.

He raised his head and looked at the ultimate book in the center of the experimental table: "This book, what will the dragons do with it?" ”

"If according to the regulations, this is an item involving the Tide Empire and must be recycled," Melita said seriously, "and it is very dangerous to leave it 'outside'. ”

"But there are exceptions to everything," Gawain looked at her, "you should know that it is difficult for me to give you this book in just a few sentences. ”

Melita blinked, "Yes...... So you just leave it behind. ”

Gao Wen thought that he still needed to spend some time on this matter, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree to you so happily, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Really?" ”

"As you can see, it's broken, it can't fix that, it's impossible to steal any more knowledge from anywhere, and the biggest risk is gone," Melita said unhurriedly, "and more importantly, you've just realized that 'pivot', presumably ...... You won't go astray. ”

"You trust me."

"Think of it as a show of friendship," Melita chuckled, "Treasure is a destruction of friendship, and since there's no need to recycle it, why should I not be merciful?" ”

The corners of Gawain's mouth turned up when he heard the other party mention "friendship" - and said that you are not My little pony?

It's a pity that Melita couldn't think of what the old zongzi was thinking when the corners of her mouth turned up, she only felt that she was clever in her words, and her friendship with this human leader was brushed up......

The Book of Ultimate was put back on the bench, the alloy fence was raised again, and the shield was activated again.

Melita quietly read the book for a while, and then turned around, saying formulaic words, but with a smart smile in the corner of her eyes: "Then, this service ends here, I hope you are satisfied with this consulting business." ”

"Great value for money," Gawain nodded, but just before Melita was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, there's a little question for you." ”

The smile in the corner of Melita's eyes stiffened significantly, and her tone became subtle: "Should it be ......?"

To be honest, she really has a bit of a psychological shadow - every time the human in front of her wants to add a small question, nine times out of ten, she will take the side of the black trap and the gods, and she will lose half her life when she answers a word, and she thought that it would finally end safely this time, so why do you have to add two sentences in the end?

Gawain was also a little embarrassed when he saw Melita's reaction, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, it's really just a small question, just to satisfy my own curiosity - I'm curious, what is your dragon clan's attitude towards the stories of human beings about dragon-slaying heroes and the legends of dragon knights?" ”

Melita blinked, obviously a little surprised by the question, but her professionalism made her react quickly, with a smile on her face: "Dragon Slaying Story...... Speaking of which, have you ever heard the story of "The Dragon in the Castle of Black Mountain"? ”

Gawain thought for a moment and nodded: "I have heard, this is a famous poem that was popular among bards in the Gondor era, about a fictional evil dragon that threatened the town and caused natural disasters, and then a veteran who survived the war picked up the knight's sword left by the chief, challenged the monster step by step, and finally fought the dragon in Montenegro, and the legend of both missing—it seems that today, seven hundred years later, there are still some variants and fragments of this story circulating in the north and west, It is considered one of the early classics depicting the evil image of a dragon. ”

"I wrote it."

"Oh...... Yes? ”

"I wrote it," Melita pointed to herself, "based on a friend of mine, but she doesn't know about it yet." ”

Gawain: "......"

After half a minute of consternation, he finally hesitated to ask, "What's that...... What is your main purpose in doing this? ”

"Lately Tarlund has become more popular with villain essays – I'm talking about the last ten centuries."

Gawain: "......"

What the hell is it over there in Hell, these dragons are usually idle?

"You see, that's our dragon's attitude towards these kinds of stories," Melita didn't care how much her words had affected Gawain, she just smiled lightly, "Don't think about a race that can survive several seasons of civilization in terms of human logic - then, do you have any other questions?" ”

"No ......"
