Chapter 24 Completeness and Homecoming
"Even if it's not a dragon, it must have something to do with the dragon way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Long Qiqi said at this time, "Having said that, this Dragon Dao trial is really abnormal, so far, I haven't encountered a single unexpected thing." β
She raised her eyes and looked around at the scene, the vast grassland, the blue sky, the bright sun, and the warm wind, everything was so real.
It looks like it's no different from the prairie outside, and although there are no other glorious palaces and things left behind by the dragons, this world itself is a miracle.
"Maybe we can think about it from the perspective of the dragon way, even if we can't figure out what the monster is, but if we can find out its relationship with the dragon way, or the purpose of its coming to the dragon road, the next thing will be much easier. Nono suggested.
Everyone had exchanged ideas before, and each had their own guesses, but it seemed that they couldn't make a definitive conclusion about what that kind of dragon monster was.
If you retreat to the next best thing, finding a way to figure out the purpose of the monster coming to Dragon Road may be the best choice at the moment.
Caesar stood up, patted the grass clippings on his trousers, and said, "It is necessary to talk to our captive lady." β
Tearing off the seal on the mouth of the girl's battle mage, Caesar and the others gathered around the girl, and finally Caesar said: "Hey, wake up, don't pretend to be asleep." β
The girl slowly opened her eyes, her face still a little pale. And because he has been tied, the tear stains left by the previous tears cannot be erased, and it looks very embarrassing.
"Are you going to interrogate me?" the girl smiled wryly, "I thought it would be later." β
"You don't want to be interrogated?" Caesar asked.
"Of course, once you know what you want to know, I'm worthless. The girl's eyes darkened, "Then I'm afraid that's my death." β
Caesar shrugged. Noncommittal.
The girl raised her eyes, and then said, "I know that you didn't give me to that terrible monster because I still have value. In any case, I would like to say thank you for that. And I have a request, even if you want to kill me after the interrogation. Please also give me a chance to break myself. β
Caesar laughed: "The first time a captive was interrogated, there was so much nonsense. As for what to do with you, that's a story for another time. Now I ask, you answer, is that okay?"
The girl's eyes flashed slightly, she looked at the Imperial team members around her, and finally sighed, knowing that she had no room for bargaining, nodded and said, "Okay." β
Caesar took a breath and asked, "What is the Dragon Road?"
The girl shook her head without hesitation: "I don't know." β
Long Qiqi frowned. Squinting at the girl, he said coldly: "You'd better not try to hide anything, you must know that you are currently in the second layer of the Dragon Dao, and you are the only battle mage." β
Everyone else also looked a little unkind, you must know that the life of this captive was saved by everyone who was willing to risk it before, but now it seems that this person obviously has no sense of gratitude, and he simply didn't know and brought Caesar's first question back?
The girl looked at Long Qiqi without giving in. Calmly said: "I really don't know. In fact, the question of what exactly the Dragon Dao is, even the Grand Commander and the disciples. And you Marshal and Wu of the Wind and Thunder Empire, or the previous Forest King and Xu Ziling of Earth Street, can't answer for sure, right? I'm just a little battle mage of level 12, isn't it ridiculous that you ask me such a big question?"
Caesar was not angry, looked at the girl and said, "This problem is a bit too big. But no one asks you to give a complete answer, you can say as much as you know. β
After the girl was silent, she said, "As far as I know, Dragon Dao was born at the end of the Civil War a hundred years ago, and the prototype is a small world of the Dragon Clan. Later, for some reasons that I don't know, it was transformed into the current dragon road. β
"Oh?"
Caesar raised an eyebrow. Everyone else was taken aback.
The girl's statement was the first time that everyone had heard it, but they didn't expect the captive to tell such confidential information as soon as he opened his mouth. You must know that before this, the exact time of the appearance of the dragon road cannot be accurate to the "end of the Civil War", but only a relatively approximate "Civil War period".
And the fact that the dragon road was transformed by people based on the dragon ruins, the empire was completely unaware of it before.
Caesar silently digested for a moment, and then asked, "What do you know about the identity of that monster before?"
The girl still shook her head: "I'm sorry I really don't know, I don't know at all." β
Caesar said, "That monster once appeared in the Alcana war zone, and the black and white of your fighting dynasty fought against it, don't you know that?"
The girl's face showed a surprised expression that did not seem to be fake, and said, "This ...... I hadn't heard anything about it, and I didn't know that Lord Black and White had ever met the monster......"
Caesar snorted, didn't delve into this issue, and continued to ask: "Why did that monster come to the Dragon Road, what might it have to do with the Dragon Road, can you think of something?"
The girl shook her head again.
"I really don't know. Caesar stared at the maiden and said.
"I really don't know, I actually want to ask you these questions. The girl looked a little helpless.
Caesar smiled and said, "Well, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer to this question, I won't be so good at talking." β
He stared into the girl's eyes and said word by word, "What is so special about the opening of the Dragon Dao this time, and what is the purpose of your battle mage's trip?"
The first three questions asked by Caesar, in fact, I didn't expect to gain anything, what is the dragon way, what is the monster, what is the relationship between the two, if these three points can be figured out so easily, Caesar feels abnormal. The battle mage should also have no clue on his side, otherwise he would not have been easily defeated by monsters before.
But this time the dragon path opened unusually, and the battle mage was clearly prepared for itβthose two things were for sure.
Caesar intended to use this as a breakthrough to clear the fog as much as possible.
The girl was silent for a long time this time.
Caesar didn't rush, but waited patiently. Nuno and the others next to him were a little anxious, and they couldn't wait for half an answer for a long time, and Caesar had no intention of persecution.
Finally the girl sighed and said, "What if I still say I don't know?"
Caesar shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I will kill you at once." Because I don't have the time to bother with a dishonest captive right now, and there's a lot more to do. β
The girl squinted and asked, "Even if killing me means losing important information?"
Caesar nodded solemnly and repeated: "Yes, even if killing you means losing important information. β
Then the girl was silent again, this time she didn't let people wait too long, but as if giving up on resigning to her fate, she said: "You ask what is special about the opening of the dragon path this time - this question is easier to answer, in fact, it is not a big deal, the spatial structure of the dragon path has actually been slackening, it has been like this for a hundred years, and this trend has never stopped." β
Nuno was surprised: "The spatial structure of the Dragon Dao continues to slacken, I have never heard of such a thing. β
The girl said lightly: "It's normal for you not to know, because the trend and speed of laxity have been almost negligible in the past nearly a hundred years, and it has only suddenly intensified since last year." Then, when the spatial structure of the Dragon Road is lax below a certain threshold, the third layer of the Dragon Road that no one has ever entered can enter. β
"So it's just a coincidence that the Dragon Road appeared in the Hengduan Mountain Range, and what is really special is the laxity of the spatial structure?" Caesar couldn't help but recall the scene when he entered the Dragon Road before.
That huge and unstable spatial crack should be evidence of the instability of the Dragon Dao space.
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, the location appeared between the north and the south, and it was just a coincidence. The point is that starting this year, the last layer of the Dragon Road can be entered. That's the point. β
Hearing this, Caesar's heart instantly brightened a lot.
There is no doubt that the battle mage wants to enter the third layer of the Dragon Road, so this year, taking advantage of the loosening of the Dragon Road space, he sent elite team members to rise up, and suppressed the personnel that the empire might send in advance, such as Caesar.
Caesar even thought that the purpose of that kind of dragon monster might be the same as that of a battle mage, and it was also coming for the third layer of the dragon path.
Looking at it this way, the monster may also know a lot about the dragon way, if it really matches the purpose of the battle mages.
"So, what is there in the third layer of the Dragon Dao that you battle mages have to fight so hard for?" Caesar asked slowly.
A look of struggle flashed in the girl's eyes, and it was obvious that this question had touched the core secret of the northern kingdom.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Give me a promise not to kill me, otherwise I won't say anything." β
Caesar was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a promise." β
Nuno, Long Qiqi, and the pit father on the side all looked at Caesar in surprise, knowing that such a promise is tantamount to giving the entire team a huge burden and instability.
The girl pointed to Nono and the others and said, "What if your companions don't keep their promises? β
Caesar raised his hand to signal his companions to be safe, and then solemnly said to the girl, "I will not say it a third time, as long as I am here, you will not die." β
In Caesar's mind, the risks and costs of protecting a captive were indeed great, especially in today's circumstances, but a certain intuition in his heart told him that information about the third layer of the dragon path was even more important.
This feeling was strange, not entirely Caesar's consideration of this time, but that he felt that this information might be related to him.
Maybe it has something to do with Hughes, whose whereabouts are still unknown.
The girl looked deeply at Caesar and whispered, "You are a very courageous man, and I hope you will keep your promise." β
Caesar said, "So your answer is?"
The girl closed her eyes, her face calmed again, and she was even a little tired and indifferent.
Then, everyone heard her say: "The Great Commander's explanation to us before leaving is: at all costs, to ensure that at least one person enters the third layer of the Dragon Dao alive, where there is the 'integrity' of our clan, as well as the 'way back'. (To be continued.) )
