Chapter 1068： gift

It's been a long time.

When he saw the blue dragon landing on the square, Gawain had such an idea inexplicably—even though the last time he and Melita met was only more than two months ago, this But once the feeling of being right and wrong appeared for a long time, he didn't suddenly realize the source of this feeling until the other party nodded slightly.

Not only because there have been too many earth-shattering events in these two months, but also because the history of Talrond and the human world has changed too much at this turning point. The more important reason is that he From the huge and majestic blue dragon, I felt a distinct difference in temperament - and a significant change in appearance.

He stepped off the platform and walked towards Merita. He saw that there were still many visible scars on the other's huge body. The most astonishing one even pierced through nearly half of it down his neck. The torso, the flawless scales that were taken care of by the robot nanny and advanced compounds, are now covered with wind and frost, and there are many new traces that seem to have just been operated on on her limbs.

Not only Merita, the dragons that landed with her also had similar injuries. These wounds were uncovered, and everyone around the square could see them with their own eyes. After seeing the scarred appearance of these dragons, Many people quieted subconsciously.

Many people don’t know what happened to Talrond, nor can they think of how the wounds of these dragons came from, but these hideous wounds are themselves a kind of speechless symbols, and they bring blood on the battlefield of killing gods. The rain and smoke, this kind of aura from battles is even more substantive than the coercion of the dragon itself, making people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Gao Wen came to the delegation of seven giant dragons, the stagnant power on the square finally loosened with his footsteps, countless eyes fell in the center of the square at the same time, and Merita moved slightly at the same time. Physically, her slender neck hangs down to the point where she can talk face-to-face with Gawain: "Salute to you, Emperor of the Cecil Empire, on behalf of Tarrond, I visit you with peace and goodwill. Country."

The agent of the former Mithril Treasury now came to him as the ambassador of the Dragon Kingdom. Of course, the overly serious diplomatic occasions and rigorous diplomatic rhetoric made people uncomfortable, but Gao Wen's expression was still calm, and he nodded slightly. , With a smile on his face: "On behalf of the Cecil Empire, I welcome all visitors from the Dragon Kingdom-friendly guests are eternal friends of this land."

Melita seemed to smile-her expression at the moment was not easy to distinguish, but Gawain thought that the row of fangs that added up to one and a half meters wide should be a smile, and then the blue dragon tilted slightly. , One side of the wings hung down to the ground: "I also brought your messenger-Ms. Kassandra is of great significance in this exchange. In addition, I also brought a gift from Tarrond, hope You can be satisfied with this."

For some reason, Gawain felt that Merita had a noticeable pause in her voice when she mentioned the words "Ms. Cassandra", but this little question did not occupy his energy. He quickly watched A beautiful lady with black hair and a mole on the corner of her eye appeared on Merita's back. She was a slick, mature and elegant posture. After waving to the crowd not far away, she quickly followed the dragon. The dragon's wings slid briskly in front of Gao Wen-its serpentine "steps" like clouds and flowing water caught many people's eyes. Some people were suddenly surprised, and some people's eyes subconsciously fell beside the high platform not far away. He craned his neck to look at the lively Tyre.

——The siren is still a mysterious and rare race to ordinary people in Cecil. Those who live in this city and have seen siren have most of the impression of these deep-sea allies obviously only from the only local one. Siren Tyr, in the absence of relevant propaganda and common sense, obviously most people think that the siren race is just walking...

This small omission even Gawain hadn't expected--but fortunately it was harmless.

Anyway, the sea monsters were kind.

At the same time, the dragons who were walking with Merita began to get busy. With the assistance of magic, they began to transfer many packed boxes that were originally fixed on their backs to the ground, and they had already prepared them around the square. The prepared team and staff then stepped forward to register for the handover of the gift. The media who were recording around did not miss this moment, and in an instant, a large number of photo-taking devices focused on it.

Everything that happened today is unprecedented. Every picture recorded has a special meaning. Any scholar and reporter present knows very well that any video or even a few words recorded at the moment may appear in historical data after a few years. Up.

Gao Wen's attention was also attracted by the large and small boxes, but he just scanned his eyes and did not ask at this moment-this is a formal official contact with strict process specifications, and it is not at this moment For the formal acceptance of gifts, his curiosity must be reserved for the middle of the banquet process later.

But even so, his gaze suddenly stopped as he swept across the boxes: a strange intuition suddenly appeared in his heart, making his gaze fall subconsciously on one of the boxes.

It was a metal box that looked extraordinarily heavy and solid. Its surface was covered with dense dragon-language runes. It was clearly protected because the sights of the three dragons never left the box from beginning to end. Its importance Obviously.

"That box..." Gao Wen finally couldn't help but speak, because he believed that his instinct as a legendary powerhouse must not have jumped out when he was idle and bored, "What is it?"

Melita lowered her head: "This is the most special gift, but because it is too special, it is not in the gift list. I will personally deliver it to you later."

Gao Wen: "...?"

...

It was not until night fell and the stars enveloped the earth that the grand and grand welcoming ceremony finally ended, and the same grand dinner was held in the "Autumn Palace" near the Cecil Palace.

This may be the biggest banquet held here since the last time Typhon’s special envoy Matilda visited Cecil. The court chefs have made up their minds to show the dragons from the human world in this banquet. And the empire officials and representatives from all walks of life who are fortunate enough to be invited to the banquet will do their best to show the grace and decency of human civilization. After all, the dragon race is almost legendary for humans. It has been mysterious in various strange stories for too many years, and today is the first day they unveiled the mystery.

The huge banquet hall is brightly lit, the aroma of wine and delicacies permeates between the cups, plates, tables and chairs, and the brisk music sounds melodious and graceful. The dragon messengers who transformed into human forms were treated with great hospitality. As the representative of the mission, Tal Lund’s ambassador, Melita Penia, was of course placed next to Gawain.

It was also at this time that Gawain finally had a more relaxed time to talk with Merita.

"When you arrived at Northport, Cassandra reported something to me," Gawain looked at Miss Blue Dragon. "She talked about what happened in Talrond—part of it. You broke the cradle. , The entire Arctic continent has been turned into a wasteland in the flames of war, and ten survivors have not existed... Although there are only a few words of description, I can imagine what it is like. Frankly speaking, I am shocked and even a little admired, that It is a war we cannot imagine, and it is an unbearable price."

"We also know what's happening in the human world," Melita's gaze retracted from the direction of the banquet hall and fell on Gawain. "It was also a war that determined the survival of the race, and it shocked us."

"We also paid a great price-maybe it can't be compared with your sacrifice, but in essence, we did the same thing," Gawain shook his head, shaking the glass in his hand, the bright red liquor in the glass. Shaking and shattering light, he seemed to re-see the flames of war and explosions on the battlefield of Winterhold that day, "We... killed our own god."

"We killed our gods," Melita repeated Gawain's words softly, "in the name of freedom and survival."

"This world is so cruel that many times we have no right to decide which way we should go," Gao Wen said quietly, and then he looked into Merita's eyes with a solemn expression, "But anyway, we finally The first crack was cut from this cruel ice, and the mortal races of the world also had a chance to breathe."

"Yes, we did this feat together," Melita smiled calmly, "So now the dragons and humans have become natural allies."

Having said this, she paused and continued solemnly: "We know that you are working to establish a new order among the mortal kingdoms, hoping to unite the mortal forces of the entire world to face the world’s Disaster, I can promise you here-we are here for this, and Tarrond will support your feat. In any case, as long as your original intention remains unchanged, the dragon will be Cecil Allies forever."

Gawain’s expression became solemn and serious. He met Melita’s gaze and said after a moment’s gaze: “I knew your intentions when I just received the news from Cassandra, but I didn’t expect You will be so determined... and it sounds like you put all your faith in Cecil."

"Because this change started with Cecil, and in the foreseeable future, it will follow the path you envisioned," Melita said seriously, "As for why we are so determined... …"

She smiled, a trace of self-deprecating on her face.

"Talrond is not what it used to be-you mentioned Ms. Kassandra's report just now, but I want to say that no matter how detailed her report is, the real situation of Tarrond is better than you think. It’s even worse. The dragons have fallen into a predicament. We are now relying on our own strong innate conditions and the remaining materials on the wasteland to support ourselves as a "civilization". Frankly speaking, if we want to survive next, we might even External support is needed. In this situation, we no longer have many choices, and naturally there will be no needless reservations and hesitations."

Gawain gave Merita a surprised look: "You told me very frankly."

Melita smiled back: "Because we are friends."

"...Well, then I also hope that Tarrond and Cecil can become friends," Gawain smiled and raised his glass, "For friendship-and for our common survival."

"For friendship and common survival," Merita responded with a toast, and then she looked at the banquet hall, hesitating or reminded, "Do you remember the dragon's special way of'eating'?"

Gao Wen froze for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Of course, you need'two meals'-don't worry, we have prepared enough food in addition to this banquet, and you and your friends will get the best Hospitality."

Melita breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but Gao Wen couldn't help asking after a little thought: "By the way, what is in the ‘special’ big box you mentioned?"

"You seem to care?"

"Forget it," Gawain nodded, "mainly I have a feeling...I can't tell, but I can feel a certain breath, and the things in that box seem to have some attraction to me."

In an instant, Melita opened her eyes slightly, and after a while she shook her head with a sigh: "That's it...no wonder I have to leave it to you, it seems that everything is arranged."

"Arranged?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows. "So what is in that box?"

"It's almost time..." Melita looked up and saw that the atmosphere in the banquet hall was turning to calm. A group of new waiters entered the hall, and the band was changing its repertoire. According to her understanding of human society, this It is a sign that the formal banquet is coming to an end, "Then after the banquet, I will tell you what it is."

...

The dinner was over, all follow-up matters had been arranged, Gao Wen returned to his palace, and shortly after this, Merita visited as scheduled.

In the lobby on the first floor, irrelevant personnel have been screened out in advance. According to Melita's advance reminder, only the most trusted personnel around Gawain were left on the scene: Amber, Heidi, and Rebecca.

A large metal box protected by layers of runes was placed in the center of the hall. Gao Wen and others were standing in front of the metal box. Rebecca looked at the large box in front of her curiously, and finally restrained it from poking forward twice. Urged, but still couldn't help saying: "My ancestor, what is this?"

"Merita, you can reveal the answer," Gawain looked at Miss Blue Dragon who was standing next to the box. "What the **** is this?"

Melita finally didn’t sell it this time. She put her hand on the surface of the box, and accompanied by the second light of the rune, the tightly sealed box also heard the slight sound of the mechanical device unlocking the lock. The cover slowly opened to the surroundings, and a sphere glowing with pale golden light appeared in front of everyone.

"This is a dragon egg," Merita took a breath and said solemnly, "Now it is in your care."

Gao Wen: "...Huh?"

At the same time, three sights fell on him at the same time.

Melita took another breath, her expression more solemn: "Our goddess left a lingo after her fall, and entrusts this egg to you."

Gao Wen: "...Huh?"

The three eyes around him became even stranger.
