Chapter 1: Hidden Surfaces
At five o'clock in the morning, Dearrando woke up, got up from his bed, and without disturbing Dino, who was still asleep, he took Rises and walked out of his room. It's an east-facing balcony with the sea unfolding right in front of your eyes. The pier, which has not yet been fully awakened, rustles under the gentle lapping of the waves.
The early seabirds have already started a new day of hunting with the red glow that has just emerged from the sky. The world is so vast, so quiet, so moving.
Reses didn't know when he woke up, and he watched with the same fascination as a red sun suddenly jumped into the air from the gold-trimmed sea.
"It's beautiful...... The energy of circulation, the law of repetition. "The sun seen in the dragon's eyes is not just a sun, it can see the tremendous energy radiating from the sun, and the warm light brings vitality and vitality to all living things on this planet. Shijie runs harmoniously because of various orders, everything is orderly, and everything is always there.
"You're speaking with more depth now, Reseth. Soon I won't understand what you're saying. Dearlando playfully commented on the young dragon's emotions, and then simply jumped onto the balcony and sat directly on the outermost, stretching out his limbs to let as much skin as possible be baptized by the newborn sun.
The sea breeze blows all around, and if you close your eyes, you can feel yourself fluttering and soaring in the warm energy.
More than ten minutes later, the sun had risen quite high, and the morning sun lit up the city that was originally shrouded in the ambiguous blue sky. Dearrando jumped from the balcony to the rooftops to see how the sunlight paced over the layers of White Moody's buildings.
This moment. A vision flashed through his mind. With a golden core, a red exterior and a blue-gray background, the color of the whole city seems to be a sun hanging in the sky.
"Rises, you get bigger, can you wait for me to fly around?" Dearrando poured pure magic crystals for the young dragon for breakfast, and discussed if he could take a different look at the land.
The young dragon ate more than thirty gems in one go, and then agreed reasonably. It expanded to about ten feet, slung the symbiote on its back, and floated in defiance of gravity.
"Which side?" asked Reseth, curious, as it was the first time Dearrando had asked himself to get bigger and fly with him if he didn't have to.
"Go above the Golden Dome Palace. Go to the highest point of the cliff. Diarlando groaned. Directions were spoken.
Ryeth immediately swooped out, quickly pulling up to a high position. Unlike the way Martin flies, Reses's forward and backward movements are not at all driven by wings flapping. Diarlando didn't understand how it could fly, so everything in Zuihou could only be boiled down to magic.
It's still early. Except for those who get up early to catch up on work. The city streets beneath your feet are still almost empty. No one noticed a white figure flying like an arrow towards the top of Lantau Mountain.
The summit of Lantau Island has a particularly large protruding rock. Somewhat like a finger standing up, Reses circled around and simply landed on the tip of the stone.
"Look! Riess, Suns...... The whole city is one sun. "Before the young dragon could stop. Dearlando patted it on the neck and showed him his new discoveries.
Looking down from here, the drop-shaped golden core area has become an almost perfect circle, the red-tiled cloister has become a radial circle of light that surrounds the outside, and the originally dark blue-gray roofs have been colored golden in the sunlight, so they look blue-white. The buildings of White Moody City form a sunrise scene, and everything sparkles as if it were shining with the sun in the sea.
Ryses steadied and looked in the direction he pointed, but after looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I am different from the shijie you see, what I see are two brighter bands of light." This statement reminded Diarrando, who also shifted his gaze into dragon mode, and suddenly saw the band of light that Ryeth was talking about.
It was two narrow areas composed of countless people's points of light, you must know that White Moody has a large population, and it originally seemed to be densely packed with human energy points, but the density of these two areas is particularly high, so it can stand out on a glowing background.
One of the two light belts is on the opposite side of the river, and the other is at its own feet, and from the regional point of view, there are two open-air markets on both sides of the river, and the center of the connection is the Feihong Bridge across the Duopang River.
In addition, there are particularly densely populated areas around the periphery of the city, which are supposed to be places where the poor gather, so from the dragon's view, the whole city looks like a dial with two hands.
“weishenme...... It can't be a coincidence!" Diarlandor groaned. He had read the history of White Murdi, and the city existed long before the Turanda Empire was founded.
In fact, the history of White Murdy is at least 1,500 years earlier than Augustus, and it used to be a gathering place for elves, dwarves and other races. But because humans reproduce faster than they do, they gradually form a mixed population. As time passed, the proportion of humans increased, and the surrounding environment was modified more and more, and some races felt that it was not suitable for their habitation and moved out of the area.
The earliest plans of this ancient city may have been determined by the elves, and although the later ones changed hands several times, each with its own additions and decreases, the general structure remained unchanged. At this time, I was worried about why I didn't remember more clearly when I was in history class, and Dearlando was sure that the history teacher had said a lot of things about Bai Modi, but he almost forgot about it after the exam. Only a few fragments can still be recalled, and it is not enough to deduce who made such a secret in the end.
As he pondered, the sun continued to rise. When he looked in front of him again, he realized that perhaps because of the change of light and shadow, the original vivid feeling was gone. You can still see the golden-red-blue-gray color distribution, but unless you have a particularly strong imagination, you won't think of the sunrise at all.
"Is there a time limit?" muttered to himself, Dillando pulled out his notebook, copied down the secret he happened to find today, and left it for his brother to continue his research.
"The longest and the shortest, the most precious and the cheapest, impossible to touch and hear, so that the great and the small return to nothingness......" read the riddle translated by Ryses again, and the picture in front of him that only the sunrise can see, and the dial that only the dragon can see, everything seems to be related.
Where is that important thing that has been hidden? What is it?
Questions swirl in my head, but no answers. And I'm leaving here today, so I can't dig deeper. Diarlando touched the paper with a little regret, he really wanted to uncover the mystery a day earlier, maybe it was the map to the place of Riceth's trial.
But the place that is about to be visited is the descendants of the elves of the original area. With an average lifespan of 5,000 years, the elves may still be able to find the people who designed and planned the city in the first place.
Secrets and riddles may be solved there.
Glancing at the sprawling city again, Dearlando sent Ryeth back to the Doge's Palace. By the time he landed on the balcony of his bedroom, there were already many people in the house. As soon as he saw him, Lu Yidan rushed over and asked anxiously: "Big brother, where have you been, you thought you had met an enemy or something again, and it made me anxious!"
"It's nothing, the sunrise is so beautiful, Ryses and I went to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. I didn't expect such a moment to alarm you. Diarrando smiled and comforted his brother, and nodded hello to Shaklin, Zoya, and Fayir.
"It's early in the morning, isn't it six o'clock, do you want to go back and get some sleep?"
Zoya tightened her dressing gown, passed past him, pinched his arm hard, and walked away with a puff.
Fayer was directly pale, and he didn't go to bed until four o'clock in order to pack the treasures he collected from the pseudo-dragon. As a result, he only slept for an hour, and was woken up by Ruidan knocking on the door to check if he had killed his brother.
Shakolin was in good spirits, he didn't sleep at all last night. Because the space ring was too precious to be faked, he was busy putting the remaining pure magic crystals and gold coins and gems into the box all night.
He was the first to find out that Deirlandor was not in his room. After finally loading the gems, he immediately ran to find Dierlando, in the name of providing intimate morning service and love early, but after knocking on the door, only Dino answered the door, so he immediately went to inform Ruidan, and the whole house entered a state of emergency. Zoya was called because she needed to find someone reliable to take care of Dino.
This is the cause and effect of Weishenme's early morning when there will be three sleep-deprived people guarding the room. In fact, at this time, the entire Governor's Palace was in a state of combat readiness, and the soldiers were searching back and forth in the corridors, and even if the others were not here, they must have known that something was wrong.
Now everyone doesn't want to continue sleeping, just wash up, eat early and go on the road early.
After retrieving the precious baby dragon ration warehouse from Shaklin's side, Deirrando told Ruidan about today's discovery alone.
Ruidan, who was also surprised, promised to start looking in this direction today. You must know that there is no road to go up to the place where Ryses landed, and the slope of the summit itself is very steep and there is a lack of vegetation. The huge protruding finger-like rock was more than thirty feet high, almost upright on the top of the mountain, and smooth in itself, and if it weren't for the dragon being able to descend from the sky, the average person would never have had the opportunity to see what he was talking about. (To be continued......)
