The information revealed by Modil Wilde in the details of the notes interested Gao Wen.
No matter how you look at it, the food and drinking water that the adventurer mentioned six hundred years ago are like ... canned and bottled water.
This insignificant detail gave Gao Wen extra thoughts. Although he also realized that the dragon is a smarter race with a longer history than humans before, it may have a stronger civilization than the countries of the mainland, but until this time, Only then did he seriously think about the height of such a civilization that can ignore the continued development of the magic wave-
Cans and bottled water itself are inconspicuous, and Cecil can be easily produced at this moment (in fact, similar products have already appeared), but the cans that Melita brought to Modil are a sign that one can trigger Gao Wen's contemplative sign. His thoughts could not help but expand in this direction, and even gradually extended to "whether the dragon family eats in the human form or the dragon form" and "whether there is a huge difference in the amount of food between the two forms, and how does the human form's eating efficiency maintain the dragon form "Great consumption" in such a strange direction, but soon, his scattered thoughts came together and pointed to a problem he has always ignored:
Dragon races that are not affected by the magic wave and obviously have the same curiosity as humans ... They have developed for so many years, why haven't they entered the space age? !
Are they not yearning for the stars? Or is it that Dragons are so dependent on the planetary environment that they have encountered a bottleneck while leaving the planet? Or is it simply that the technology tree is not right, so that countless years have passed since they failed to break through the atmosphere?
Faintly, Gao Wen felt that this might be a very critical question, but no one here could answer his question.
"Ask Melita next time ..." After thinking about it for a moment, he whispered to himself, "This time, her name appears in this travel note ... indeed, I should ask her."
As he said, his gaze returned to Modil Wilde's written record:
"... I explored most of the place on this island of steel in the next few days-I mean the place where I can enter. This ruin does not know how many years it has been abandoned, and there is a loneliness everywhere The atmosphere of these ancient buildings is also strong and unusual. After years of wind and rain, they are still indestructible. Except for those unimportant structures, the materials of these pillars, foundations and roofs are better than mine. Any man-made material that has been used must be strong and have excellent magic resistance ...
"... x month x day, on the day that Miss Dragon agreed to return, the uneasy hunch turned into a reality-she didn't come.
"X month x day, after waiting an extra day, Melita still didn't show up ... I couldn't help but think of the abnormal behavior when she left, her bad mental state ... It seems that she really forgot I even mentally blocked my memory. This is the unbelievable but only possible explanation. I ca n’t help but be very concerned about what happened to the dragon girl, which will cause such disturbing result.
"I don't know other dragons, and I can't compare whether this is a kind of" disease "of the dragon family, but I suspect that all this is related to the steel island itself. This is a forbidden place, a place where the dragon family is afraid ... Now I am left here. As a more pitiful guy, I am probably not qualified to worry about the health of a giant dragon. I must first solve my own survival problems.
"There are still some food in the iron box and some water in the bottle. It is not a problem to support for three days, and even if they are exhausted, I can continue to get supplies from the sea. As a powerful magician, I am not worried at all. I die of hunger and thirst. Unless disorderly turbulence rushes to the island, I will probably live here for a long time ... but I do n’t want to live alone in this strange ghost place!
"I conceived some plans to leave the island of steel and return to the human world, but before implementing those plans, I decided to explore the whole ruins in hopes of getting some resources or other helpful things ... well, I ca n’t Lying to yourself is a **** curiosity. Modil Wilde is a brave and unrepentant guy. I just ca n’t control my adventure!
"Now, I have toured the whole island, leaving only the only place I haven't explored ... that huge, awesome metal tower."
Down from here, Modil Wilde's handwriting suddenly appeared violently shaking, as if he had entered a very excited state when recording these contents-
"... I have to record everything I see, that shocking and incredible!
"Today is x month x day. As expected, Melita did not show up, and I have fully recovered my energy after a night of rest. Today is the day of action. After bringing in a few supplies, I came At the foot of the giant tower-it ’s not difficult to find its entrance. In fact, I discovered several gates at the base of the tower when I explored it earlier, and the most exciting thing is that some of the gates are not completely closed. They Is slightly open.
"I walked through the open door for the first time. I walked into its interior. After passing through some dark and abandoned corridors, I heard the sound and saw the light-Myrmina, the goddess of magic! The inside of the tower turned out to be alive!
"Okay, that's not accurate. I mean, inside this tower ... it's still in operation! After being abandoned for a few years, after it has been mottled and outdated, it looks deadly inside. Always running!
"I saw a cylindrical hall with bright lights and huge pillars running through its dome and floor. There are countless flashing lights running around the hall, making a buzzing or clicking sound; there is a Huge pillars made of metal and crystal. The pillars are hollow. Occasionally, you will see a very fast flash of light passing by; magic projections are floating in many parts of the hall, and the illusions continue to swim. Walking with a lot of characters and geometric figures, that is the text I don't know, of course, the text I don't know!
"Some kind of ecstatic emotions suddenly rushed up, and I suddenly felt that my failed expedition trip seemed to be suddenly worth it-what an amazing discovery! The prehistoric remains in operation, the unknown heritage of human civilization It is in front of my eyes, showing its greatness in a shocking gesture, I ca n’t help chanting the name of the goddess of magic loudly, more pious than at any time, of course, the goddess did not make any response, a slight response No, but I didn't care ... I came to the center of the hall, came to the pillar, and then made a more amazing discovery.
"This whole pillar ... I don't know if it was dazzled by myself, or if the emotion of emotion destroyed the judgment, but it seemed to be made of 'eternal slate'! The whole pillar is all!
"I have seen their eternal slate in the Holy Light Church, only one foot square, the edge is broken, protected by those priests as a treasure, and even pressed to the deepest depth of the tombs of the popes, what a precious thing. But here, I have a pillar like a bell tower in front of me, it seems to be made of that material!
"I am writing these words with excitement. Now, I will try to touch the ancient metal-if they really have some commonality with the eternal slate, what reaction should my touch cause ..."
Reading this, Gao Wen frowned suddenly.
Modil Wilde's behavior ... a little unusual.
Although he is indeed a very courageous adventurer, and has an impulsive side to explore, but his action in that giant metal tower ... is a bit too impulsive, too reckless, this is not like it at all The judgment of a wise and learned powerful magician when facing unknown things.
And this violently jittery handwriting, a slightly grandiose way of writing ... it all seems to be a bit wrong, as if Modil ’s behavior suddenly incorporates another consciousness, which consciously and slightly changes The adventurer's actions, but the latter is unaware!
But since this note has been handed down, and Modil Wilde has safely returned and continued to take risks for many years, Gao Wen feels that there will be a corresponding explanation or reflection left by Modil behind this (if not, then The situation is terrible), so he patience and continued to look down—
"... When my hand touched the pillar, all doubts disappeared.
"There is no doubt that it is an eternal stone slab, or another huge artifact made of the same material as the eternal stone slab.
"I felt that some knowledge came into my mind, this place suddenly became familiar, the text floating in the projection became recognizable, and I instantly knew the name of this place ... Ah, it's called ' "Monitoring Tower No. 1" has another name called "Arctic Foundry Center". It is a factory, a factory used to produce weapons ...
"I also know that there are two other monitoring towers in the world, but they are not factories, but some kind of ... passages? Bridges? I don't know the specific knowledge ..."
The text on the notes suddenly became more chaotic and scribbled. The jittery lines even seemed to contain some kind of madness. Gao Wen frowned tightly. Beside those texts, there were also annotations left by the scholar responsible for repairing the ancient books— -Chaos and meaningless letters that cannot be read at this stage.
Among these chaotic words, Gao Wen found only a few useful descriptions:
"... I know how to use this machine! I know ... I found the casting materials, and the old users haven't had time to completely consume them ... I have to record the use ... (unable Recognized text)!
"Knowledge! Valuable knowledge! I have to write down (messy strokes), I can't drop a word!
"I plan to build something to prove that I have been here, oh ... I have an idea ... (messy handwriting)"
Every piece of text is mixed with a lot of traces of hard smearing. This disturbing mark seems to reveal some kind of ... resistance, as if Modil himself is constantly writing something, and then smearing them out, After a few paragraphs of barely readable text, Gao Wen suddenly saw huge letters on the next page as if they were through the back of the paper:
"go away!!"
On a whole page, only these few letters were written on it.
Gao Wen was attracted by these letters, his eyebrows could not help shaking, he was 100% sure that Modil Wilde was in trouble after entering the tower-his behavior was absolutely out of control However, he was not completely out of control. His only reason and near-conditional "recording behavior" left these disturbing words, and in the end, he was very lucky to get rid of this state.
The word "Leave" shows the ultimate winner of this battle of wills, but somehow, the handwriting of this word is not the same as any handwriting before Modil Wilde ... Gao Wen even faintly There was a strange idea. He felt that the letters were not left by Modil, nor by the consciousness that influenced Modil, but by the third consciousness.
And after this shocking word, it was Modil Wilder who apparently restored his normal handwriting:
"I woke up outside the tower.
"Some kind of terrible dizziness and headaches have entangled me for a few minutes, and I can't remember my experience in the tower at all, only some kind of fearful palpitation can't be lingered.
"I found my notebook, and it was on my hand, as if I stumbled outside after staggering outside. I opened it and saw what I had left before ... The words, the cold sweat all over the place back.
"Goddess of Magic! What the **** happened?
"I have almost no impression of that experience. From entering the door, everything that happened afterwards seemed to be covered with a heavy curtain. I just remember that I was wandering in a bizarre place. Did I yell? I wrote something. Why? Why should I touch mysterious and unknown ancient relics? This is completely illogical!
"The only thing I remember is the light that flashed through my mind at a certain moment ... A golden light seemed to make me awake, and I remembered a picture: I was struggling to write, and suddenly I was out of control. I usually wrote the word 'Leave' on the paper. I looked at the word in horror as if it had magic power, and then I turned around and ran ... I remembered more things and remembered how I ran all the way. Escape outside the tower, like a frightened stupid boy ...
"When checking whether there is any difference in my body, I found something in the pocket of my outer robe. It was a snowflake-shaped talisman. I do n’t remember when I had such a talisman, but it was inscribed on the surface. The emblem of the family ... It contains powerful magic, which was obviously infused by myself, and ... its material seems to be an eternal stone ...
"This thing makes me very uneasy. It seems to confirm some crazy words that I left in my previous notes. I instinctively want to throw it far away, but hesitant ... this may be me. The only gain in this mysterious place is the only thing I can bring back. My memory in the tower has been erased for some reason, and I do n’t plan to go back again ...
"I have to think about it.
"X month x day, this is a note to be added in the future-after tossing and turning all night, I still haven't decided how to deal with this talisman, and on this morning, someone ... or a humanoid The dragon suddenly appeared.
"That's a lady with very long blond hair, graceful elegance and beautiful beauty ..."
