Dragon! !
Gao Wen's gaze froze in an instant, and his eyes stayed on the string of subtitles written for a long time, as if he could see through the slight jitter on the edge of the handwriting, and see the fierce turbulence of Modil Wilde when he left these letters. Feelings.
Then he looked up and looked at the map hanging on the desk not far away-on the map, the panorama of the Loren continent has been accurately marked, but the vast ocean outside the Loren continent and the possible existence of the new continent But outside of his satellite monitoring perspective, there are only symbolic outlines and general orientation marks:
Deep in the endless ocean southwest of Loren, is the "Tower of Heaven" in the ancient legend of the elves. The existence of this tower has been confirmed by the ground scan of the "Sky Station";
In the southeast of the Loren mainland, I do not know how far away is the ocean. It is the "new continent" discovered by the ocean team led by Govin Cecile seven hundred years ago. Part of the coastline of this continent has also been confirmed through the sky station;
Far east of the Loren mainland, across from the storm and the ocean currents, is the "Io continent" ruled by the Krakens, and their capital "Antavian".
In the northern part of the Loren mainland, after crossing the peninsula of the Principality of the Holy Dragon, it is first an eternal storm that has been actually observed by humans. Opposite the eternal storm, it is the kingdom of dragons that currently only exists in indirect data: Tallon. Virtue.
The country of the dragon is located in the extreme north, and may even be near the North Pole. The sea around it is likely to have a large number of icebergs floating, which is in accordance with the details mentioned by Modil Wilder in his notes ...
"He actually crossed the eternal storm by mistake ... Did he drift near Tallond ..." Gao Wen could not help but said to himself, "Is this lucky or unfortunate ..."
While muttering, he lowered his head and focused his attention on Modil Wilde's incredible adventure:
"... In the next short period of time, I was in a state of high tension, consternation, excitement, and other complex emotions. That was a dragon! A real dragon! I initially suspected that it was a long time of loneliness and Drifting caused my mental tension to produce hallucinations, but soon I realized that everything I saw was true, and the dragon even hovered for a while ...
"I watched the dragon nervously, not knowing what the other party would do to me as an" uninvited guest ", I can be sure that the dragon has noticed me-just like I can see ta. But somehow, the dragon is just Hovering in the sky for a while, and then flying straight away ...
"The other party didn't seem to notice this ... or just used the pile of tattered wood that I was living as some kind of garbage floating on the sea? I don't know what I should be feeling now. On the one hand, I am worried about that Long really turned back and found trouble for me. In my current state, I am afraid there is no possibility of survival. On the other hand, I hope that the other party can come to me ... This may be my only hope to get rid of the current predicament. If the dragon is friendly enough ...
"I spent a cold night in a state of anxiety ... or a long evening.
"After crossing a certain boundary, the sun on the horizon will never fall to the sea level. It will always rise and fall at a certain height, and it will cycle in the order of" early morning-noon-dusk-again early morning ". Everything is like ancient times Scholars have calculated that our planet is tilting around the sun. The existence of this angle leads to the phenomenon of long days or nights in the extreme south and north of the planet ... I think I have harvested another very important observation record, but no one knows if I still have the opportunity to bring this precious knowledge back to the human world ...
"X month x day ... On the third day after witnessing the dragon, I saw an extraordinary scale ... storm wall on the distant sea.
"I thought it was a disorderly and turbulent 'charged cloud wall' at the beginning, and I was greatly nervous for a while, but soon I discovered that it did not contain the kind of violent and uncontrollable magic, and there was no strangeness at the top of the cloud wall. There is no luminous phenomenon, and there is no sign of movement in the whole, but its scale is much larger than the cloud wall of disordered turbulence ... The cloud wall connecting the sky and the sea traverses the entire sea, like a real 'peerless barrier', in At the foot of the cloud wall, countless large and small whirlpools rolled up on the surface of the sea. The high winds and waves were desperate ... I think I knew what it was.
"That's part of the 'eternal storm'! On the highest mountain in the north, you can see the aftermath of the sky projected by the Master's eye or other observation devices, and you can even directly see it in the peninsula of the Principality of the Holy Dragon. Its edge, and I, now in the sea where no human has ever arrived, observe the storm up close ...
"Damn, I made a big circle and drifted across the eternal storm !!
"The mainland is over there, the coastline of the Principality of the Holy Dragon or the Violet Kingdom is opposite the cloud wall, goddess of magic, fate really made me a big joke ... I can finally determine the direction of the mainland now , Can also determine the route home-by the way, it is determined that this is a dead end.
"I carefully considered the possibility of crossing the storm and returning to the mainland, and then I was amused by my innocence and boldness, and then I began to think about whether I can bypass the big and amazing cyclone ... and amuse myself again. once.
"But after laughing, I think my second plan might work ... It is indeed possible to show the courage and tenacity of human beings. Think about it, I have drifted so far Starting from the eastern part of the continent, I went all the way around the sea and went to the opposite side of the eternal storm. Why can't I go around half a circle and go to the other side of it? Although my current state is indeed much worse than before , The boat has also turned into a pile of broken wood ... but the courage to challenge is better than being trapped in this endless ocean ... "
Reading this, Gao Wen couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
When he saw the first half of the note, he thought that Modier was too reckless when he was young (in fact, it seemed to be similar when he was old), but now he couldn't help but admire the courage and resilience of the other party. I drifted lonely on the sea for several months, and even drifted all the way to the North Pole. Finally, I was able to summon the courage and fighting spirit to try to bypass the "celestial miracle" like the eternal storm. This ambition is definitely not available to ordinary people.
"It inherited the stubborn temper of the original pioneer ..." He could not help but sigh softly, then smiled and continued to look down--
"X month x day, I must record what happened today, I ... I don't know how to express my mood again.
"Earlier today, I began to implement that brave 'detour plan.' After a period of meditation and rest, I felt that my magic was enough to drive this pile of broken wood around the relatively safe sea on the edge of eternal storm. OK, so I did it, and approached the cloud wall smoothly, and ... damn, then the blue dragon appeared again!
"If there are any subsequent readers, you would never have imagined what the blue dragon did-she (I already know she is a lady) swooped down from the sky and rushed straight at me and my" warship ", It seemed extremely anxious. I heard a deafening voice shouting 'Don't think about it' next to my ears, and then the terrifying giant claw grabbed the poor hull of the 'New Adventurer' at once, she seemed She wanted to take me even with the boat, but she certainly did n’t expect the new adventurer to be loose from top to bottom. Some kind of magic attached to the dragon's claws broke the magic circle between the woods, and The huge strength of the dragon directly crushed everything ... what happened later is very consistent with the laws of magic and material.
"I finally lost the pile of" broken wood ". They were so broken that they were swallowed by the waves almost immediately.
"Worse, after that I was hung on the paw of the blue dragon who didn't know what to think in my head ... The only good news is that I am still alive and my notebook is still on my body ...
"Now, I was thrown on a huge iceberg floating on the sea, and the dragon was with me. Just now, we finally solved the misunderstanding, this 'lady' apparently mistakenly thought that I was going to commit suicide in the eternal storm , And I briefly introduced my adventures and desperate plans to return home ... I can see that this lady dragon is a bit frustrated and lost.
"But I am ten thousand times more depressed and lost than her !!
"Now the only thing that prevents me from fighting with this evil dragon is my intellect as a human being and the restraint as a nobleman-I can't beat her.
"In addition, I would like to mention it very casually and very carelessly. The name of this dragon-she is called" Melita Penia "and claims to be a member of the Tallonde jury ..."
Gao Wen shook his hand and almost tore off this old and precious original book.
He never expected that he would see Miss Mylittlepony's name in this situation! ! For half a day, the dragon that Modil Wilde encountered when he was lost in the Arctic Circle six hundred years ago was that guy? !
And at that time, Melita claimed to be a member of the Tallonde jury ... shouldn't she be a senior agent of the Mithril Treasure? How come another jury? Is there any connection between this panel and the Mithril Treasury?
There was a moment of curiosity about Tallond's society and concern for Melita Ponia in Gavin's heart, but his curiosity soon led him to focus on Modil's travel notes again. Above-the adventurer ’s Duke ’s Arctic journey clearly has follow-up, and the follow-up content seems to be more exciting:
"... After an embarrassment, the evil dragon and I had to start discussing how to deal with the matter afterwards ... Fortunately, despite the rough actions, Ms. Dragon was still reasonable, and she had guilt. Heart ... well, I can withdraw my evaluation of her "evil dragon", she really feels sorry for the loss she caused ...
"I first discussed with her to see if she could help me return to the human world-for a giant dragon, flying over the ocean should not be too difficult, but she said that she did not have permission to travel to the Loren mainland temporarily. Mentioned a certain application and assessment system, it seems that if a dragon like her wants to travel to another continent, it needs to apply to a higher level in the dragon society and wait for approval ... This is surprising and even surprising. Bard We have always described the dragon as a ferocious and brutal creature that resembles a high-level warcraft-like savage creature. It has never been considered that such a highly intelligent creature should also have its own society and civilization. There are so many deviations ... I can't help but wonder about the daily lives of these dragons.
"After that, I asked the lady dragon if she could find a place for me. I think this should always be possible. If the dragons all live in this extreme north, then they should have at least one ...... If things like settlements or nations fail, Ms. Dragon should have her own dragon nest? That is better than continuing to drift on the cold ice ocean ...
"However, things were not satisfactory. The giant dragon named Melita rejected my proposal. She said that if the upper level of the jury knew what was happening here, it would most likely affect her economic situation for the next six months. So she can't take me to Tallonde ... damn, why do the dragons have to consider any economic issues? Can't they honestly kidnap princesses and princes on the human continent ?!
"In short, my plan to add an important sum to my adventure notes seems to have failed. The dragon lady obviously does not plan to take me to visit the dragon kingdom ... but the situation is not too bad, because this 'Miss Melita' is always responsible-although she seems to care more about her financial situation, at least she did not choose to throw me on this iceberg in order to keep her income.
"She said she could take me to a" foothold "near Tallund ... that foothold sounded like no dragon living, but at least it was much stronger than an iceberg floating on the sea ...
"To be frank, I don't trust this dragon very much. Although she behaves politely, her style of behavior is really suspicious-if my magic is still in full bloom, I think I would rather drive this underfoot. The iceberg is going to challenge another eternal storm, but ... there are not so many 'ifs' in the world.
"I must admit my weakness, I must admit that I have no choice.
"I agreed with the proposal of Miss Melita, and ... she was hung on her paws and began to fly further north.
"It needs to be explained here: More than half of this note was done in the claws of the dragon-this is probably an unprecedented" adventure achievement ". What adventurer has experienced like me What?
"... After a period of flight, when I felt that my magic was not working well, something else finally appeared in my field of vision.
"I first vaguely saw a very vast land, that seemed to be a continent, a continent in the extreme north, unknown to humans, I could not see it clearly, but it seemed to be The barrier is protecting, and inside the barrier is a lush landscape, and when I was looking for a closer look, the dragon took me to another direction-if my sense of direction is correct, it should be towards that continent Northwest of China. We flew another way in this direction before finally reaching our destination—
"A giant metal tower standing on the sea ..."
