Chapter Twenty-Six: The Dragon's Heart
Hearing this, the delphinium did not react.
However, Luo Yu's face changed, and she reached out and dragged Bad Sun down: "What did you say?" ”
The bad sun faded from front of her eyes in an instant, and reappeared in a standing position behind Luo Li.
He patted Luo Yan on the shoulder and whispered, "By the way, it's no problem to tell you this secret."
"You've just been sniped. I didn't show up just now because if I showed up directly, it would be tantamount to exposing you...... Another reason was that I caught up and took a look at who the gunman was.
"Guess what I saw?"
"See what?"
Luo Wei asked angrily: "No matter what you see, you should have missed both hands when you came here empty-handed, right?" ”
"Because what I'm seeing is an elf."
Bad Day replied calmly.
Hearing this, Luo Wei and Delphinium were stunned.
"I can see it clearly. Your assassin has elven ears...... There are also highly modified prosthetics.
"That's why I didn't kill him or catch him. This is to prevent the grass from startling the snake.
"It's actually quite understandable. Such a dangerous weapon could not have been in the hands of outsiders...... It can only belong to elves.
"After the establishment of the floating island, the sky island did not conduct any overt weapons research. And the wartime weapons of the past have theoretically been completely destroyed, but there were absolutely no such weapons in that era. In other words, this can only be a new type of weapon that the Big Seven have secretly developed outside the dragon's sight.
"So here's the problem...... What is the purpose for which this over-the-horizon assassination weapon was developed? If you miss a hit, you will immediately run away, what is the target of such a disciplined killer who is trained? ”
“…… Is it Shenzhi Heavy Industries? ”
Luo Yu guessed, "Now only they and Sogo Island still have the technology to make such high-precision weapons." ”
"Probably."
Bad Day shrugged his shoulders: "But [no preconceived ideas], [no subjective speculation], do you remember the rules of the Tower of Babel?"
"We can only say that Shenzhi Heavy Industries has done this kind of thing and has this kind of technology. But it can't be said that other giant companies don't matter. ”
Looking at Luo Li, who fell into silence, Bad Day said solemnly: "I don't want others to hear this secret I said. Russell, in particular...... Delphinium, do you see what I mean? ”
“…… I will do my best to keep it a secret. ”
The delphinium nodded.
But she didn't say dead.
She was still very cautious — or rather, she valued Russell's views and opinions more than the Tower of Babel she had just met.
If she thinks Russell must know, then she will also share this information with Russell at the right time.
But this attitude is also enough.
"You don't have to be so nervous. Because the secret itself does not affect anything, but only induces unwarranted, dangerous curiosity......"
Bad Sun whispered, "When the three of us were on Tongshen Island, we followed an elven director to infiltrate the core of the floating island. That's the energy supply hub for the entire floating island...... We were going to see what was powering the floating islands. We think that it must be some kind of ancient technology, from which we can judge the extent of the ancient technology, and by this can judge what happened in the era 'before zero'. ”
"And then?"
Luo Yu couldn't help but lower her voice: "What did you see?" ”
"We saw the dormant 'dragons.'"
“…… What? ”
Luo Wei was stunned for a moment: "Shouldn't the dragon be on the earth?" ”
"But we did see the dragon, one of its 'hearts' to be exact."
Bad Day said solemnly: "That's a very huge engine. It's the height of a building, and it radiates Ambilight and shines with a dazzling rainbow glow. Countless energy pumps, and the air around them fluctuates with a humming sound visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for the 'bishop', we might just be in that space, and we would have died just by looking at it.
"The core was as crystal clear, and inside the prismatic crystal, which was about four or five meters high, a human-shaped phantus was projected.
"She appears to be a young girl with long ice-blue hair, and her body is adorned with something like openwork armor. But she had no psychic features, and her ears weren't pointy like elves, but round ears like those of a human baby.
"If I hadn't seen Director Lazaniel respectfully reporting to her, I wouldn't have thought she was the legendary 'dragon'.
"And her voice ......"
Bad Day paused at this point: "It's as cold as artificial intelligence." ”
“…… You mean to say that dragons are just mechanical creations? ”
Luo Yu was a little incredulous: "How is it possible? The elves have been worshipping them for a long time...... Didn't there be an earthly kingdom before? Could it be that at that time, the dragons were also a country ruled in this form?
"If they're just mechanical creatures, why do elves have so much respect for dragons...... Or even like a loyal dog? ”
"It's just the heart of the dragon, but we don't know where the dragon's shell is. Maybe the dragon has more than one heart. ”
Bad Day said solemnly: "But among this knowledge, the most informative is not here. It's about what Director Lazaniel calls the dragon. ”
"Salutation?"
The delphinium asked softly.
She vaguely thought of something.
"Yes, he called the dragon 'Mother'. But here's a strange thing, and that's that he communicates with the dragon in 'elven language'. And this word also has the meaning of 'lord', 'captain', 'captain', 'chief' and so on in Elven language. ”
"According to our previous opinion, the elven language should be a language system created by the elves, because it has vague definitions of certain words and the logic is very mechanical. But in retrospect, it may not be. It may be the language of communication with dragons. A special programming language.
So we had a new perspective. The 'Mother Tree' system used by the Elven Director's rebirth is supposed to be related to dragons.
"The difference between elves and ordinary humans is that elves have a long lifespan and do not have spiritual relatives; What distinguishes those eighty-four from the other elves is that they can communicate directly with the dragon, while the other elves cannot. ”
When he said this, he said to the delphinium, "You should know what would happen if you told Russell about this kind of thing, right?"
With Russell's curiosity, he would definitely start his research on dragons...... But that's just too dangerous.
"After I revisited this memory, I guessed...... Perhaps that's why the man defected. He vanished out of thin air from the seven empty islands, then the only place he could go was on a land full of pollution and curses.
In other words, he was either looking for the mages or the dragons. Considering that the deer didn't see him in his dreams, I think he must have gone to join the dragon. Or for research, or for secrecy, maybe even for undercover......"
He looked at Luo Li, who was silent, and added, "Although I can't tell you about Grandma Lan's side. But what I can say is that she felt that her life was running out, so she applied to go to the most dangerous investigation...... In the quest where the deer's head was presented, she finally chose to go to the ground.
"I think she also had some idea of looking for that man.
“…… Still, though I can understand him. But I still can't forgive him.
"No matter what he wanted to do, he made the doctor live a hard life for more than a decade that he shouldn't have lived. The doctor had a happy life that belonged to her, and she came to the Tower of Babel with the man, but he left the doctor behind without saying goodbye...... In the end, the doctor will be cursed for some reason, and I guess it has something to do with him. Even if he had been my teacher, I would not have been able to forgive that man who had no responsibility.
"If this kind of thing were told to Russell, he would not be able to bear it.
"Sooner or later, we'll look at dragons, but not now; We'll go to that traitor someday, but not now.
"Now is the time of great change for the seven empty islands, and we need to absorb talent and hoard power as quickly as possible. By the time Sky Island is in real chaos, they won't have time to take care of us.
"That's when we're going to dig into those secrets. It is also the moment when we officially move from darkness to light. ”
“…… And you're telling me this secret now just so that I can't get out. ”
Delphinium tugged at the corners of her mouth: "I can't leave now." Not just because I know too much, but because sooner or later Russell will touch on this level of secrecy...... I can't watch him do such a dangerous thing alone. ”
"You should thank me, little delphinch."
Bad Day smiled and said, "I pushed you...... You're one last step away from making up your mind, right?
"The two of you obviously have a crush on each other, but you don't dare to take the last step because you care about each other. It wouldn't be good if the yin and yang were separated at the end. Dog, I'm old, I can't see such a stomachache story...... Those who love each other should eventually become married.
"As for dangers, frustrations and difficulties?
That's not something that should be avoided, but something that should be solved. There is so much to solve, and so much suffering to the world......
"But as long as we're together, we can do anything."
