In the Shadow Courtyard shrouded in boundless chaos and darkness, the giant deer Ammon confronts the Magic Net Terminal in a standby state.

"I think this thing is broken," the former god of nature finally came to his conclusion after a long silence, "you see it didn't light up when it was sent." ”

“…… I've said it several times, the magic net terminal can't be sent with the machine on, it must be placed in the energy field in order to function," beside Amon, the giant-like lady who was made of clouds and arcane symbols sighed helplessly, her sigh formed a small arcane cyclone in the shadow realm, causing countless dense lightning bolts to appear at the edge of the courtyard area, "Didn't the person in charge of the installation tell you how to use this thing?" ”

"It was sent by the mortal named 'Kamel', and he didn't say it at the time, and I didn't ask," Amone said sullenly, "and he seemed busy, and didn't seem willing to spend much time around me. ”

“…… As you can imagine, I've heard about him, and he must have mixed feelings about you," Mirmina, the goddess of magic, lowered her head, her eyes full of arcane brilliance swept between Amone and the web terminal, "and it would be similar if someone else were - you were a god after all, how could a mortal think that you still need someone to teach you how to use this thing......"

"Don't blame me, my authority is a force of nature, not a mystery, not a mystery, not to mention that I have been away from the main material world for three thousand years—three thousand years, do you know how I got here for these three thousand years? I'm just lying here......"

Mirmina interrupted Armon without waiting for him to finish, "So do you need my help?" ”

Without hesitation, Amorn replied, "No, I can do it myself!" ”

Mirmina looked a little dismissive, she shook her head and stood up: "Alright then, since you don't need help, then I'll go for a walk." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the lady who dominated mysteries and magic turned into a whirlwind of magic that swept across the vast plains of rubble and endless darkness like a violent wind, quickly disappearing from Ammon's sight.

Ammon still lay motionless between the boulder and the metal structure, but his eyes seemed to be watching the direction in which Mirmina had disappeared, until the other party completely disappeared into the darkness, and he let out a soft sigh: "Actually, you can help......"

In an instant, a gust of wind swept in from afar, mixed with powerful magical fluctuations and arcane lightning that followed her, and Mirmina returned to Amun as if she had left, the graceful lady bent down slightly, and there seemed to be a smile on her mist-covered face: "Look, I just said you need help, right?" ”

Amon: "......"

"You're welcome, it's a gesture for me," Mirmina's smile grew clearer, and before Ammon could object, she bent down and reached out her finger to touch the magic net terminal fixed to a floating boulder - it was already a mainframe in the city of a public facility, but it was as small as some kind of portable device in front of her, "You see, it just needs to be ...... like this"

A small cluster of arcane sparks burst out of the void, and Mirmina's fingers did not make contact with the device, but the resonance between the magic had activated the rune array inside the precision device, and with a slight buzz and a group of runes that lit up one after another, the projection crystal on the terminal of the magic net brightened, and a clear hologram appeared above the crystal.

A lady with a sweet smile is introducing the city's newly opened neural network distribution station, and in the background, rows of neatly arranged immersion pods are waiting for citizens to experience.

“…… Ah, it's lit. After a few seconds, Amone said suddenly.

"Don't talk, watch the show." Mirmina interrupted him directly.

"So you really just want to use my magic web terminal," Amone said lightly, his tone not inaudible with many mood swings, "Why don't you go to that human and ask for a set yourself?" He shouldn't mind......"

"I mind, I still need to be cautious for now - I'm going to avoid any mortal contact, because I'm not sure if any casual contact will reconnect me with the main physical world, I'm not sure if I've really completed self-isolation and purification, and most importantly...... I'm still watching the 'human' you call me, and I'm not going to take any risks until I'm sure he's really reliable. ”

"In my opinion, you are not as cautious as you say you are, but since this is your choice, I am not in a position to comment on it," Amone said calmly, "but I want to remind you...... We don't have a lot of time. Civilization has survived peacefully for a long time this season, and in this world, peaceful days are always not long. ”

Mirmina silently glanced at the giant deer next to her, Amon, her eyes filled with arcane brilliance seemed to flicker a few times, as if she was thinking about something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Ammon was silent, as if it had been for so many years—but unlike in the past, the sound of cheerful voices echoed through the dark and chaotic courtyard, and the dead world was more alive.

The two former gods sat or lay quietly in the courtyard of the fortress of disobedience, guarding a magical machine that was very small for them, and they were accompanied by the achievements of civilization created by the mortal race in this era, which seemed to be insignificant, but it seemed as if they could completely indulge in it—I don't know if they were intoxicated by the "show" created by mortals, or the peace and comfort of this moment.

"How do I change the channel?" Amorn said suddenly.

"Don't change it yet, I'll teach you after I finish this paragraph."

……

Gawain's story is finished - after omitting the descriptions of the glory of the dragon civilization and those that have little to do with the history of the Loren continent, the dragons' millions of years of forbearance and last-minute escape do not need to be told for too long, and considering the worldview of the audience and the technical details that are difficult to foreshadow, he also omitted the final omega take-off and voyage, but even so, this thrilling story still shook Rosetta in front of him and Matilda on the side. fate

"This is the story of Talrond," Gawain said with a long sigh of relief, "now that they are free, a civilization that has spanned a long time that we could never have imagined, and whose glory has reached its zenith, has now been reborn from the ashes and returned to the mortal world—they are not the legends of bards, they are not monsters and beasts in another dimension, dragons are flesh and blood, mortal species like us, they will also encounter difficulties, and now they have decided to turn to the mortal world for help." ”

“…… I can't imagine that such a thing could happen outside of the 'world' as we know it," Matilda couldn't help but whisper, "the gods of fusion...... Devastating 'Break Free'...... I thought that what we experienced on the battlefield of Winter Castle was already the culmination of all historical legends, but now it seems ...... There are still many, many things in this world that are beyond our imagination. ”

"You mentioned that the dragons broke free from the gods in the final stages by breaking out of our planet?" Rosetta was clearly concerned about a more crucial message, "The ambassador of the dragon clan described this behavior as 'the ultimate act of disobedience'? ”

"Yes," Gawain nodded, "According to the Dragons, this is a key 'ritual symbol', a key move for the mortal race to step out of the cradle and welcome adulthood. As far as I know, it has to do with the mechanism of the birth of the gods - the specifics involve very complex theoretical models, and if we have a technical exchange in this area later, I can discuss it with you in detail. ”

Rosetta looked into Gawain's eyes and said slowly, word by word: "Are you referring to the fact that all the ideological basis of the birth of the gods is based on the level of the mortal race's cognition of 'this planet', and the cosmic starry sky is a realm completely beyond our old worldview, and all the religious scriptures of mortals have not considered how to explain the order of the stars, so once they enter the starry sky, the gods lose the doctrinal basis of their existence?" ”

"......" Gawain couldn't help but pause for a moment, and his gaze at Rosetta suddenly became very deep, "You know this?" ”

"The House of Augustus lived with a self-proclaimed god for two centuries," Rosetta smiled, pointing to his forehead, "It doesn't matter if it can still be called a god, but at least its knowledge is true...... It draws spiritual nourishment from us, and we are constantly secretly absorbing forbidden knowledge and ancient memories from it. ”

“…… You've been 'stealing' knowledge from that Vision? Gawain said with some consternation, "How much do you get through this method?" ”

"It's not a lot, it's just a fragment after all, but it's not very little—the fragment belongs to the gods after all," Rosetta seems to be intent on setting up suspense on the topic, "Fortunately, that 'eye' was once active in an era of advanced civilization, and many secrets that were unknown in our time were not secrets in its time...... Unfortunately, this knowledge has been a nuisance for a long time, and we have not been able to use it for generations to come, under the constraints of that eye. ”

Speaking of this, Rosetta suddenly paused and spread out a hand: "So you see, we do have the need for further technical exchanges. ”

Gawain laughed, this time his smile came from the bottom of his heart, it was a smile of unexpected joy: "It seems that this is indeed the case, the Theocratic Council needs this valuable information. ”

He picked up his glass and touched Rosetta again, who seemed to be lost in thought after taking a courtesy sip, and the ruler of Typhon was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and stared at Gawain for a long time, until this gaze was about to exceed the etiquette before he broke the silence with a very solemn expression: "So, you usually deal with this kind of thing?" ”

Gawain quickly understood the meaning of the other party's words, and he showed a complicated smile, and his voice sounded full of vicissitudes: "If I could, I wouldn't want to—but as someone who has even experienced the resurrection of the dead, I'm afraid I'm destined to deal with many unimaginable things." Relic of the gods, demon tide, countdown to the mad god...... There is so much that can ruin our fragile kingdom. ”

"Indeed, there is so much that can ruin our fragile kingdom...... The luck of ordinary people is that they don't know anything about it, and as long as the end has not come, they can continue to enjoy the peace of the last moment," Rosetta shook his head, and suddenly looked at Gawain and made a joke, "And your misfortune is that you know all about it, and even watch them get closer and closer every day." ”

"Now it's your misfortune too." Gawain said calmly.

Rosetta ignored the ridicule in Gawain's words, and he only suddenly sighed: "Now I believe more in your concept of a 'community with a shared future' and your plans to promote world change." ”

Govington was curious: "Why do you suddenly say that?" ”

“…… A person who stands in front of the truth of the end does not have the extra energy to count the bread in other people's pockets. ”

Gawain couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "That sounds like a very high evaluation - so will you unconditionally support Cecil because of this?" ”

"Of course not, I don't even trust you too much," Rosetta said without hesitation, "I only believe in your ideas and plans, and I believe that you will do whatever it takes to achieve them—Typhon may be your partner, but you may also be used as a consumable or nourishment to ward off the apocalypse, right?" ”

Gawain smiled and didn't answer the question.

After two seconds of silence, he pulled the topic back: "So, about the situation on the side of Tallund......"

"Of course, I will be on Cecil's side on this issue, and although Typhon has gone through this battle, we are still more or less short of food in our country - we will also issue a call to the southern kingdom of Gaoling and those large and small tropical kingdoms, and assist Cecil to complete the preparation and launch of the Food Council as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Rosetta couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "As you just said, the luckiest thing in this matter is that the dragons have kept the bottom line of the civilized race in the face of the catastrophe, and choose to actively save themselves and ask for help peacefully to tide over the difficulties, so that we don't have to face another 'dragon disaster' after the catastrophe, but in my opinion...... There are no absolutes. ”

"Are you worried that dragons will still lose control and cross the ocean to raid weaker human territories?"

"It's not that I'm worried, it's definitely will," Rosetta nodded, "I don't know exactly what happened to Talrond, and I haven't been in contact with the dragons, but I can infer a lot from your description. Dragons have the same human weaknesses as we do, the limits of their abilities, and how much of the wasteland will they be able to control in the Provisional Government after the collapse of society? How many refugees can be contained and restrained? There will be dragons out of control, and these dragons are so powerful that they can cross the endless seas and harass the borders of humanity with their physical bodies...... How can we repatriate such unruly 'refugees'? Not to mention that it would also be a major disincentive for Member States involved in food relief. ”

Gawain looked at Rosetta and said unhurriedly, "...... Can be shot down after three warnings. ”
