Chapter 943: Eye of the Storm

Many questions and conjectures about the Eternal Storm crossed Gawain's mind for a moment, and before he could ask Melita about it, the latter had already climbed several times in a row—in the powerful manipulation of the dragon, the dragon's colossal silhouette passed through the thick clouds, through the invisible magical dividing line, and through the magical static realm known to humans......

"We're in the turbulence." Melita's voice suddenly came from ahead.

Gawain subconsciously took two steps towards the edge of the dragon's back, looking at this atmospheric space that was still very unfamiliar to humans, he saw that the endless sea of clouds had fallen far below the dragon's wings, turning into a white expanse, and the earth and the ocean were shrouded in the veil-like clouds, blurring the boundaries and details, his eyes cast around, all he saw was the blue sky that looked clear and bright, and the slanting sunlight was shining down from the sea of clouds.

At first glance, it doesn't seem as dangerous and chaotic as it seems.

Soon, however, he noticed that a large number of abnormal halos were floating around Melita's massive body, and cascading shimmers of light were excitation from the edges of her wings out of thin air, and formed a circle of ripples along the border of her magical shield, spreading in all directions in the air, as if the dragon was soaring in an otherwise invisible ocean, which was stirred by an external force, and the "waves" appeared, forming those abnormal halos.

Gawain was sure that Melita would never have this happen when she was flying in the Static Realm of Mana!

Amber was putting her hand on her forehead and looking out into the distance, she didn't seem to notice the halo around Melita, just marveling at the openness and grandeur of the place: "Wow - this place...... It's a scary-big place...... It feels like one step out of the sky forever......"

"It's a pity that humans will only fall back to the earth when they step out here," Veronica, who had not spoken much, broke her silence, as if the vast sky had also caught her attention, and she got up from where she had been sitting and swept her gaze into the distance, "...... It was more 'calm' than I thought it would be, and I thought the turbulence would be a much more violent place. ”

"In fact, outside of my protective barrier, the air currents and magic around me are really violent—just invisible to the naked eye," Melita said, "have you noticed those halos at the edges of my wings?" It was the magic of the Turbulence that washed away my protective barrier. From the top of the static layer of mana, the concentration of mana becomes higher than near the surface, but it is also more difficult to control, and the most dangerous factor in this is that all turbulence is 'invisible' - as you can see, it seems to be very calm, but in fact it is full of turbulence, which will not be revealed until outsiders run headlong into them and are burned into torches by the magic. ”

Amber thought for a moment and commented from the bottom of her heart: "Mommye......"

Gawain's thoughts involuntarily drifted to a direction that might seem strange to others: "The higher up the atmosphere, the stronger the magic energy level...... Isn't there the strongest magical environment in the 'starry sky world' outside the atmosphere? ”

Melita was silent for a few seconds and shook her head: "Then I don't know...... Between the Stars...... Who knows what the stars look like? ”

Her tone was a little strange, and she didn't seem to be willing to answer this question, Gao Wen wanted to continue to ask, but before he could speak, he suddenly reacted - it was best not to ask Miss Agent too much "super-outline" knowledge on this trip, which he had repeatedly warned himself before leaving, after all, everyone on this trip was on Melita's back, and if he asked Chaogang in one sentence, it might cause the most serious air crash in the first contact between humans and dragons......

When the time comes, a giant dragon will spurt blood and fall down from the turbulent layer, and the emperor and the intelligence chief, plus a leader of the disobedients, will be killed in the Arctic Circle directly because of his words, and this matter will probably not be written down by historians, and there is a more important point: Gawain himself has some psychological shadows about the air crash, after all, he fell like this in his previous life......

Gawain shook his head, throwing out the irrelevant associations that suddenly appeared in his mind, and then he looked at this seemingly calm atmospheric space that was actually filled with huge energy, and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression on his face: "There is such a huge amount of energy rich here...... If only the magical environment of the Turbulence could also be harnessed. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Amber next to him suddenly showed a strange appearance, and the latter looked Gawain up and down several times before he couldn't help muttering: "It's really worthy of you......"

Gawain: "?? ”

He didn't understand the circuit in Amber's head for a moment, but just as he was about to ask, a low dragon roar interrupted all he wanted to say - everyone immediately looked up, and the next second, they were shocked to see a vast wall of clouds rushing towards them!

It turned out that Melita had crossed a bulging "mountain range" at the top of the sea of clouds, and the cloud wall structure of the eternal storm in the turbulent layer instantly occupied all the sight of Gawain and others, and at this moment, whether it was Amber with a big personality or Veronica with a calm and solemn personality, or even the well-informed Gawain, they all held their breath in an instant, and were stunned in front of this spectacle and magnificence.

They watched the wall of clouds fill their field of vision with overwhelming momentum, and Melita "crashed" into the barrier with an unslowing momentum as if rushing towards the cliff, at this moment, the oncoming pressure of the giant even made Gawain suffocate for a moment, and the amber beside him subconsciously let out a short exclamation.

In the next second, their vision was filled with endless chaotic clouds, and they could no longer see the open and high blue sky, nor the sea reflecting the sunlight below, but only heavy, dim, violent clouds, and the howling hurricane swept wantonly outside Melita's shield, and the scene seemed to fall into the apocalypse.

The surrounding light quickly dimmed - although the cloud wall looked like a white and bright barrier from the outside, the thick clouds inside actually blocked almost all the sunlight, and the thickest part of the storm barrier was undoubtedly the darkest, and in this respect, the Eternal Storm was no different from any other storm.

Riding on the back of the dragon, Gawain felt like he was rushing into a stormy midnight, the howling hurricane and the endless lightning in the distance were dominating the entire space - he could no longer see the scene inside the storm at all, and even the perception of the legendary powerhouse was greatly suppressed, and he could not perceive the transformation of the magical environment two hundred meters away at all.

However, in this magnificent, even terrifying setting, Melita Pernia, as a guide and transporter, unleashed her huge wings wantonly, and let out a dragon roar that seemed to be very pleasant, and she raised her head and said loudly in a very happy tone: "How is it? I'll just say it's spectacular!? ”

Her voice in the form of a dragon was very loud, but the wind and thunder and lightning whistling in the storm circle were also roaring, even if most of those sounds had been filtered out by the magic barrier, a considerable part of them still entered the barrier, Melita's voice mixed with those terrible sounds from the outside world, it was really like a thunderbolt exploding in the ears of Gawain and the others.

Amber suddenly exclaimed, "Truth be honest - it's a bit spectacular overdone!" ”

"This is a tourist feature of Tallund – something that outsiders can't even experience!" Melita was very happy and said, "Don't worry! I'm safe inside my barrier, and I'm going to never get into trouble - and I'm flying here several times a year without an accident! ”

She seemed to be deliberately using her cheerful tone to reduce the nervousness of the "passengers" as they made their way through the Eternal Storm, and this had some effect, at least Amber's nervous face seemed to have eased significantly, but Gawain didn't know that he had seen the dragon lady's "crash landing" with his own eyes, although the other party said it was all an accident...... But it's enough to make people tremble.

However, he thought about it carefully, and felt that he did not set any form of "safe return flag" before leaving, and it should still be safe from a metaphysical point of view, since Melita's crash landing method itself is also a part of metaphysics, then using metaphysics to fight metaphysics, their journey through the storm should not be accidental......

He was relieved by the sluggling of his head, and for a moment he ignored the uneasiness of the scenery and transportation caused by his surroundings during the storm, and as soon as his eyes and mental senses had become accustomed to the terrible surroundings of the place, he began to look around.

He will never forget one of the important purposes of his journey—to gather knowledge, to gather knowledge that will be of great help to humanity to get out of the land and explore the world.

He was not an expert in marine meteorology or atmospherics, and in fact there were hardly any experts in the field in this era, but he could carefully record everything he saw and perceived, and it would one day come in handy.

With this in mind, he began to observe the changes in the scene outside Melita's protective barrier, and tried to find the "power source" of the eternal storm from the flow of magic around him.

Just then, a flash of light appeared at the edge of his field of vision, which suddenly caught his attention.

At first, Gawain thought it was lightning in the storm clouds - there were a lot of electrical discharges in the area, and almost every second there would be an arc of electricity that temporarily illuminated the dark clouds in the distance, but he soon realized that it was a different light from the lightning around him, not only did it not have the same intensity and duration as lightning, but its orientation was not normal.

The light came from directly below, near the "base" of the Eternal Storm.

Strong discharges are rarely seen in that direction.

Gawain took a few steps in front of Melita's shoulder blades, approaching the edge of the dragon's back, and he looked down to the left front of the dragon's wings, where the light had appeared before - although the light itself was gone, there seemed to be some faint glimmer of light surging deep in the thick clouds.

After about half a minute, he saw another flash of light—this time clearly, he saw straight pillars of light suddenly burst out from near the base of the Eternal Storm, as if something was erupting, and although it was for a short time, he was 100% sure that it was definitely not lightning!

And at the same time as that beam erupted, Gawain also immediately sensed an obvious fluctuation of magic power, which made his expression more and more serious.

In such a chaotic environment, in the depths of a storm with such severe disturbance, that magic fluctuation could still be clearly transmitted so far away, which showed that the strength of that energy source was extraordinary.

There's something at the heart of Eternal Storm! A very powerful thing with an energy response!!

"Melita," he immediately looked up and shouted at a loud voice, "what is there?" ”

Melita didn't seem to react for a moment: "Huh? Where? ”

"Down below you—under the storm, did you see those flashes just now?!"

After Gawain gave directions again, Melita turned her head and glanced down to the side, and a moment later, her thunderous voice came from ahead: "That's the center of the Eternal Storm, and where the cyclone is formed!" However, there is a strong magic barrier and a dangerous high-speed cyclone near the eye of the storm, and we can't get past it - we have to get around it from the side! ”

"Can't get by?" Gawain asked aloud, "Do you know what's in there?" ”

"Of course not!" Melita also shouted loudly, because the storm and thunder nearby were getting more and more violent, and even if there was a magic barrier, the loud noise that leaked in began to affect the conversation between her and Gawain and the others, "When I first hatched, Omega told me not to go near the base of the cyclone, all dragons have known since childhood!" It's very dangerous, no dragon has ever flown in!! ”

Even the dragons don't know what's at the center of this eternal storm? Isn't that a barrier on their doorstep? Isn't it Tallund's own defense system?

At this moment, great doubts popped up in Gawain's mind, and he instinctively realized that the secrets hidden in this storm were probably more profound than everyone had imagined at first.

As Melita began to adjust her flight attitude to bypass the cyclone from the outside of the "barrier" in the eye of the storm, he couldn't help but take another half step towards the edge of the dragon's back and poke his head to look down.

Almost at the same time, a flash of light erupted again from the direction of the eye of the storm, piercing the darkness of the cyclone's depths like a flaming sword, and powerful waves of magic entered his perceptual range at the same time, as clearly as a candle flame in the night.

Gawain subconsciously focused his attention on the magic power fluctuation, and the spiritual power he spread out was like a silk thread connecting the energy source of the storm base, and he couldn't think about it, and some information like poetry directly came into his mind in the next second-

“…… Don't revel in this illusory night of tranquility...... The night will eventually be broken......

“…… Do not indulge in your warm cradle...... The cradle will one day overturn......

“…… Do not sleep in the sanctuary of the mind...... Sooner or later, the shelter of the soul will become a shackle that cannot be broken......

"Departure, before the stars twinkle, departure, before the end of the long night......

"If you don't set off sooner, the day will come......"
