On the mainland of Tarlong, the giant city of Agungdor, in the magnificent palace where the jury is located, Blue Dragon Melita Pénia and White Dragon Noleta walked through the extremely spacious palace promenade, facing The room where the highest speaker of the jury is located goes.
The magnificent ancient palace stands on this land for thousands of years. In the palace, Melita saw the familiar scene from a young age. She saw the solemn golden pillars supporting the complicated arches, and the arches were intertwined. A giant skeleton-like structure, the dome made of limestone is covered on the arch, and each roof is engraved with complicated and complicated patterns, depicting the memorable moments of the dragon history, and on both sides of the corridor, crystal-like The translucent synthetic material hangs down the column, and the radiance of the stars rises up the crystal film, waiting for visitors to read and interact.
Probably because of the influence of the sacred ceremonies, the visitors in the palace of the jury, in addition to the Melita, there are only three or five staff members on the corridor, and there are more automatic service machines than people. The "iron servant" light wheel of the gold or light blue shell flies and walks silently along the energy lines on the floor between a door and a column, maintaining the complex ancient technical facilities of the palace, or performing Other orders from "Omega" are busy, as if they are never idle.
Complex, exquisite, solemn to heart-rending, advanced to incredible.
However, under this beautiful shell, it is a technical quagmire that has been indulged.
Melita looked up and looked at the complicated patterns on the dome and the energy pipeline hidden between the patterns. She couldn’t help but whisper: "The biggest upgrade is just a change of pattern."
Technology went to the limit, a wall blocked all researchers, and all the knowledge and tools at hand could not shake the wall, so the society was in a pause, civilization entered the bottleneck, no new theory was developed, no new The principle has been discovered that all scientific and technological advances are tinkering with existing technical products, and even the last repairs and repairs are difficult to achieve - they have reached the limit of civilization level in the process and operation principle, reaching The current state of the art "perfect" state, and then change a screw is retrogression and destruction, so only the remaining, but still can only develop the art and aesthetics, the dragons can do, and only The use of patterns, embossments, ornaments and sophisticated shapes to reflect the renewal of the product.
In the end, the dragons who once favored the rough and pragmatic style built these gorgeous temples in their country until today.
White Dragon Noreta shook his head, with a hint of lightness and helpless smile on his face: "Indulge in the age, isn't it?"
“The world outside is changing very fast, and the kind of dynamic feeling makes the dragon fascinated,” Melita whispered. “Every day, people are rejoicing for new things. Every day, people have to face new changes, no matter Good or bad, change is always their theme."
"Before reaching the fence, the flock always thought that the yard was wide and boundless. What about the so-called new things and changes, have you not seen enough in the past season and then in the civilization?"
Melita picked her eyebrows and glanced at her good friend: "Noleta, I am a young dragon, my curiosity has not been met yet."
Bailong Norita chuckled: "Probably - I hope that the things that interest you will make the Supreme Speaker interested. He is an old dragon, and curiosity is no longer a wave."
At the end of the corridor, the gorgeous alloy gate sensed the visitor's proximity. The access control system immediately read the identity data of the two humanoid dragons. With a pleasing sound, a series of beautiful streamers flowed through the door to the speaker's room. The entrance is open.
In a circular, wide hall, a pale gold platform is placed in the center of the room, and a large number of crystal clear "crystal cloths" hang from the platform, and the surface is constantly refreshing with massive data and patterns, while on the platform On the other hand, a golden dragon that is as large as a human house is lying prone on the "throne" made up of numerous cable pipes and fabrics.
Even with the standard of the dragon, he is already quite old. The beautiful scales have lost their luster. They are covered with inferior copper sheets on his huge body. There are a lot of interfaces and metal claddings arranged around the spine. The drooping cables are connected, and the traces of mechanical and biochemical transformations are scattered on the surface of the old body. Under the skin is a bionic skin with shimmering lights. The claws are connected with an ice-cold hard alloy skeleton.
Melita walked toward the semi-mechanized dragon elders and bent down in front of the platform: "To pay tribute to you, President Andal."
The old golden dragon hangs his head, and a mechanical eye embedded in the skull flexes and adjusts the focus, but the other slightly turbid creature's eye still shines with wisdom and warm light, a gentle sound from the surroundings. The speaker came: "Ah, Melita... The best agent of the secret bank treasure, good boy, do you want to revoke the bonus for your bonus?"
Melita’s eyes suddenly brightened: “Can you?!”
"No."
"..."
After a brief and embarrassing silence, Melita returned to normal and took out the things that allowed her to return to Tarende earlier: "His Lord, I got the same special entrustment, I hope you can see it yourself, and Regarding the recent changes in the Loren mainland, I also have some reports."
"Delegation? The entrustment that can be directly presented to me is rare... From the Elf Wang Ting, or is it an elemental lord?"
"Gao Wen?? Cecil."
"... um," said the speaker, Andal, slightly silent, giving a chuckle, and a stack of manuscripts in the hands of Melita floated into the air, and in front of the speaker, a shop opened, "... hope This time it is not a permanent save... Oh? The content seems very interesting."
The speaker completed scanning and reading of all the manuscripts in almost a moment. Several connecting terminals near his spine shimmered, and an auxiliary thinking unit near the skull also woke up, apparently caused by the contents of the manuscript. Interest - although only a small interest.
"Including the understanding of productivity and production relations, as well as the deduction of social change... not very esoteric, but you said that this is the high text? What is Cecil's summary in the current era?"
Melita lowered her head: "It should also include his experience during the Gangster Empire."
"Ha... the productivity structure of the Gangster Empire is deformed, and their social system can not give birth to this experience," President Andal laughed lightly, and the mechanical eye flashed with a slight red light. "I have a little interest." Govin, how does Cecil want the treasure house to handle this manuscript?"
"This is exactly what I want to report..." Melita looked up and said with a smile.
Her report is very detailed, including not only Gao Wen? Cecil's commissioned content, but also her own observation and evaluation of the "exploring hero". Finally, she also mentioned the current development of the Cecil Empire. And the continuation of the old hiccup plan in the current era.
"...In summary, I think that Gao Wen? Cecil and the order it creates may become a valuable variable. We should strengthen our attention and further increase the level of contact when necessary."
President Andar silenced for a few seconds, his auxiliary thinking unit ran at high speed, and exchanged data with “Omega”, which was unknown to outsiders. Finally, he said: “The current level of contact is enough. High, there is no need for improvement, but what you call 'variables'... does have some value."
"that……"
"But he is not necessarily the only variable, child," the voice of Speaker Andar continued. "There were reports from other agents that the human Titan Empire is also making huge changes, technological and cultural breakthroughs. All are in progress, the elf's silver empire is gradually 'thawing', trying to start development again, although they are also caught in a technical quagmire similar to ours, but they have not been 'locked' after all, it is also possible to break the seal. In addition, the Violet Kingdom, the Dwarf Wang Ting, and the Gaoling Kingdom all have signs of social change or technological breakthroughs... these can be used as variables."
Melita blinked and nodded after a brief thought: "...I am a little too concerned about the Cecil empire."
"This is your area of responsibility, and you should pay more attention to it, and..." The voice of President Andar’s voice paused a bit. It seems that he is considering the vocabulary. "Gavin? Cecil is a variable, it is a bit different. I was guided by who he sailed that year, and we have not yet investigated it. I am quite curious about the mystery hidden in this human being."
"On this point, it seems that Gao Wen? Cecil himself is not aware of it," Melita said. "I have talked to him many times. His memory of the secret flight seems to have been cleared by factors, including sailing. All the memories related to it before and after the voyage were cleaned up, and all the people who acted with him in the past did not leave any clues, even those who walked with them could not find out."
"Through the eyes of Mithril Treasure, there are not many 'people' in the world can do it..." The old golden dragon has a low voice and is calm and powerful. "Keep in contact with Govin? Cecil. Commissioned, Mithril Treasury accepted."
Melita respects the ceremony: "Yes."
Some of the lights in the room flashed, and a dark door opened in the corner of the room. A machine servant flew out of it and took over the manuscripts that had been rearranged. Andal’s speaker nodded to Melita: Melita, is there anything else?"
Melita Ruben is ready to leave, but hesitated to stop. In the eyes of the old speaker, she finally couldn’t help but open her mouth: "His Lord, I met a gene in Loren. Defective dragon..."
"Oh? Are you going to the Principality of the Holy Dragon?"
"No, it’s in Ansu - and of course it’s already the Cecil empire," Melita sighed, and the words re-opened. "It’s a black dragon, and its wings have grown to half, but because of The genetic defect stopped developing and the body was deformed to a certain extent. She did not know why she left the Principality of the Holy Dragon and chose to live in a human society, and it seems to have lived for many years..."
The gentle voice of President Andar interrupted Melita’s remark: "And then?"
"Lord the Speaker, the black dragon is normal except for the deformity of the body. She has a sound mind and a very healthy human form. It is enough for all the work that does not require flight, so I am very curious..."
White Dragon Noreta, who has never said anything, can't help but whisper: "Melita, you have asked this topic before..."
However, Melita did not seem to hear a friend's reminder, or insisted on asking: "I am very curious about the reasons why the genetic defects are exiled, just because they are born deformed? The Holy Dragon Principality is the most in Loren The cold northern end has been exiled for so many years, is there no deadline?"
"...The Dragon Empire never asked exiles to build nests in the icebergs. The Senate just let them leave Talund. It is their own decision to settle in the northern end of Loren, and the reason for exile... genetic pollution It is enough."
Melita looked up and looked at the majestic and old ancient dragon, and the latter was only calm.
After two minutes, Melita turned away from the sight of the mechanical eye. She bowed her head: "I understand, Lord Speaker."
Speaker Andal looked at the younger generation in front of him. The many devices connected to the room made a pleasant sound, and his voice came from the speaker: "Melita, you are young and full of vigor, this is very very Valuable quality, I don't mind if you ask some sloppy questions. I hope that you can keep this curiosity for a long time. May it accompany you for a lifetime - but there are some things that you are not sure to change now, nor should you I know, I hope you can understand this."
Melita replied respectfully and sincerely: "Yes, Lord Speaker, I understand."
"Go back, take a break, and then prepare for the glimpse ceremony, God will dispel your fatigue and hurt, and when you fully restore your spirit, return to your position."
"Yes, Lord Speaker."
