Chapter 1144： Dragon Blood Hall

When coming out of the incubation room, the sunlight coming in through the large French windows on the corridor has turned orange. Gao Wen came to a window and saw the sky light approaching dusk gradually filling the streets and lanes of the city, and the towering magic energy in the distance The broadcasting tower is bathed in sky light, and the magic obelisk on the spire floats and rotates under the action of the anti-gravity device. The precisely cut crystal surface continuously reflects the magnificent sunset, and under the tower, it is still prosperous. And every day it becomes a more prosperous city.

This is a city he built by himself, and it is also a city built by thousands of builders. It stands proudly at the foot of the dark mountains. It is solid and stable every brick and stone, and it carries all the hopes and lives of the people who live here. .

But in a sense, this city is actually only standing in people’s "observation world". It can be touched and reached. It has its own color, texture and even smell, but all of this is just covered in A layer of "reflection" on the real universe... and the real universe under this layer of reflection is still inaccessible to mortals in this world.

Gao Wen breathed out gently, slowly dispelling the meaningless sense of illusion and alienation in his heart, and shook his head with a slightly self-deprecating smile.

This kind of problem is almost philosophical... Thinking too much can make people mentally out of shape.

The familiar breath appeared in his perception. Gawain turned his head and looked in the direction of the breath. In the interlaced light and shadow beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw a petite figure jumping out of the air softly, while falling to the ground. Look up and down with your eyes.

"As soon as I came over, I saw you thinking about life in the corridor?" Amber looked at Gao Wen's eyes with suspiciousness, and skillfully used the weird words Gao Wen taught her, "What's the matter? I talked with Dragon God for a long time, feeling Your entire three outlooks seem to have been reorganized... This is the first time I have seen you showing this appearance."

Gao Wen recalled the things he had heard from Enya, with a complicated and inexplicable smile on his face: "Is the three-view reorganization... That's right."

"...Wow," Amber exclaimed with wide-eyed eyes, "This...makes you feel the reorganization of the Three Views?! It seems that Dragon God is really not an ordinary egg, I have been with you for so long, or This is the first time I saw someone who can defeat you in the Three Views."

"Are you complimenting?" Gawain glanced at the shame of the elf from the corner of his eye. "And what is the way to describe it as an egg...Would you like to try to talk about it in front of Enya?"

Amber seriously thought about it, measuring the fighting power between herself and an egg, and there was a eager expression on her face, but fortunately, in the end, her reason still defeated her ability to act. She suspected that the dragon egg that was once a god, even if only Being able to slap on the ground, and shoot myself in various places with "unexplainable power", so I had to wave his hand angrily: "Don't worry about these details...what are you talking about? It can show you This expression?"

Gao Wenlue's somewhat playful expression became serious and deep again. He looked at the "half-elf" girl in front of him. The large amber eyes of the other party were full of curiosity and a little worry. After a few seconds of indulging, he gently With a sigh, he looked up at the glorious and huge sun that was gradually falling to the horizon.

"Did you see the sun?" He asked casually, "What does it look like now?"

"The sun?" Amber froze for a moment, as if she didn't understand why Gawain suddenly asked such a question, "What else can it look like... a big orange fireball? Or a big balloon that is wrapped in clouds and glows? Anyway? This is what the scholars say... Does this issue have anything to do with what you discussed with Dragon God today?"

Gawain did not answer Amber’s question, but said softly as if talking to himself: "Yes, the big orange fireball... But maybe at some point, in the eyes of some individuals, it is no longer the same. appearance……"

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Amber scratched his hair. "But I mentioned similar knowledge when I listened to Santis's lecture. He said that the eyes of many birds are different from those of humans or elves. The colors of things you see are different, and you can even see many things that humans cannot see with the naked eye. The sun in their eyes may be green or purple, and the clear and empty sky in our eyes may be full of large and small in their eyes. Some birds will even be confused by the vortex due to neurological diseases, and keep circling in the empty sky until they are exhausted..."

"Oh?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows with interest, "Is that right?"

"Of course," said Kohaku, spreading his hands, "not only there are, but there are also some more superstitious hunters who call this crazy bird that hovered to death in the sky as the'Doom Bird', and they regard it as unlucky. If they saw a bird of bad luck before entering the mountain, they would even give up a day of hunting, in case they were trapped in the mountain by an invisible demon spirit like those birds, but now many people know it. That's just because the birds in the sky saw things that humans can't see..."

Amber talked about the new knowledge she learned with interest, but Gawain's mood was inexplicably calmed down by this half-elf chattering. He smiled and shook his head gently. Essentially, "Doom Bird" and grace The phenomenon of "macro observer trapped in confusion" revealed by Ya is not the same thing, but there is a subtle similarity between the two, which makes him feel a bit of strangeness and coincidence.

Wait until Amber finally talked about the same, Gao Wen broke the silence with a loud voice: "What's the matter with you coming to me?"

"Ah, patronizing the chat, I forgot everything!" Amber suddenly patted his forehead, and quickly recovered. "We have received a contact from Beigang, and Tarrond will send a permanent ambassador and several diplomats. The officials stayed in Cecil, and the list and the corresponding application letter have been sent. The ambassador is our old acquaintance, Miss Merita Penia."

"The ambassador...it seems that Tarrond is finally on the right track," he heard the news from Amber, but Gawain was not surprised at all, but said softly thoughtfully, "Meili Tower? It's almost as I expected."

"According to the news from the'Track' intelligence line, Typhon has also received an official letter from Tarrond on the establishment of diplomatic relations, and another batch of permanent ambassadors will also arrive in Aldernan in the near future, but the date is later than ours. "Later," Amber continued, "In addition, our intelligence officers sent to the north of the mainland have heard news that the authorities of the Holy Dragon Principality are adopting a series of public opinion guidance involving Tarrond, and the domestic wind is gradually changing. , The dragonborn are re-examining their relationship with the pure-blood dragon. The original “exile” statement is gradually being downplayed by the authorities. According to my judgment, this should be the normalization of the relationship between Talrond and the Sacred Dragon Principality 'preparation'."

While talking, the increasingly mature intelligence chief couldn't help but sighed: "Ah, the last time I saw Maggie, I saw her in a daze in the garden. It seems that the dragonborn's feelings for Talrond are indeed true. It's complicated..."

Listening to Amber’s emotions, Gawain’s thoughts drifted in another direction, and the words Enya said to himself could not help but surfaced in his mind:

"Do you think, which is the first Principality of Holy Dragon?"

He sighed softly, gathered his thoughts again, and interrupted Amber aloud: "Don't forget to inform Heidi, so that she can prepare for the ambassador, not only the ambassador of Tarrond, but from now on Soon we will welcome envoys from more countries, and it seems that the embassy street will soon need to be expanded again.

"In addition, I will notify Rebecca and prepare to convene master scholars in the field of demons and gods. We are going to have a meeting. I have something to announce."

Amber felt something in his tone. She raised her head, her gaze intersected Gawain’s line of sight as she explored, and two seconds later she solemnly bowed her head: "I understand."

"I thought you would follow up and ask something," Gawain couldn't help but glanced at the half-elf. "Such a cheerful and reliable look is not like your usual business style."

Amber suddenly rolled his eyes, and at the same time, his figure has gradually faded in the air, only a more and more ethereal voice was introduced into Gawain’s ears: "I will grow up too..."

……

When the Flowing Fire pedestal gradually rises to the high point in the sky, the chill finally recedes from all corners of the entire continent. Even at the top of the mountains in the extreme north, the snow-covered area has shrunk to the smallest stage of the year. Longlinbao is still proud The ground stands on the highest mountain, and the snow surrounding the fortress has receded to the highest point of the mountain. From the high terrace of the castle, the surface of the mountain covered with rock and soil is showing greenery, following the direction of the mountain. Extending downward, the greenery became more and more dense, spreading all the way to distant cities, villages and wilderness.

Dragon Blood Grand Duke Balogall turned around and left the terrace, passing through the small corridors and stone arches connecting the terrace and the main castle, past the burning magic brazier and the quaint and solemn dragon-printed stone pillars, he came to Longlin Fort The deepest part of the house is in the hall where the throne is placed.

His most trusted courtiers, Gorosh Hickel and Eugene Natosh, are standing on both sides of the throne. Except for these two trusted courtiers, there is no one in the entire throne hall at this moment. They should have been here. The guards and servants who were waiting have been screened back.

"Your Majesty," Eugene Natosh, with white beard and hair and wearing a white twill robe, took a step forward. Although Balogall was named "Duke of Dragon Blood", his title in the duchy he ruled was " Your Majesty", "The road to the lower level has been activated, and the Dragon Blood Council is waiting for your visit."

"Got it," Ballogel nodded lightly, then glanced over the two courtiers, "This time, you come with me."

"Your Majesty?" Gorosh Hickel widened his eyes in surprise, "But today is not..."

"I'm going to Wuming Dragon Tomb to visit old friends there," Balogre said softly, "You come with me."

The two courtiers looked at each other subconsciously, then their eyes calmed down and nodded slowly.

Balroger no longer speaks, but just steps towards the back of the throne. Behind this huge seat that looks very simple and majestic and is made of monoliths, stands a huge dragon head statue, which is the most solemn in this hall. And there is an imposing "decoration", and in the open space between the dragon head statue and the throne, a round slate floor slightly protrudes from the surface, and its edge is decorated with light golden linear striped roads.

In silence, the Duke of Dragon Blood and the two courtiers stood in the center of the circular ground. After waiting for a while, a voice came from the dragon head statue at the rear: "Elevator...down, destination, dragon blood parliament."

A slight tremor followed from under the feet, and the round ground decorated with pale gold trim shook for a while, and then began to sink steadily.

Balroger couldn't help feeling a little bit: after Omega left, too many advanced automatic systems were turned into scraps and scraps due to network interruption. Only these "old things" appeared because of the use of outdated technology. Very reliable.

The two Dragonborn courtiers, Gorosh Hickel and Eugene Natoshi, didn't have that much emotion. They just descended with the platform in silence with solemn expressions. The entire elevator sank into an extremely deep shaft, and it quickly passed the main building of Longlinbao, the first floor and even the foundation below, but the entire descending process did not stop, but towards the ancient mountain. Keep going deep.

In the shaft, the auto-sensing lights light up one by one, illuminating the ancient structures on the inner circular wall that have undergone refurbishment and maintenance many times. The top material of the shaft still has a stone-like texture, but as the height continues to decrease, the shaft wall has begun to show obvious alloy structures, the guiding grooves, energy conduits and steel in operation that are integrated with the shaft wall Cables and bearings flashed by in the light, and a humming sound from deep underground gradually became obvious in the mechanical friction sound of the elevator.

Finally, with a shaking and a clicking sound of the locking device activation, the elevator stopped on a certain floor, and the blunt synthetic sound was transmitted to the ears of the three passengers: "The elevator...stop, has arrived. , Dragon Blood Council."

After a few sounds of mechanical lock operation, an opening was opened on the side wall of the shaft, and the dim light was reflected in the eyes of Grand Duke Balroger.

He took the lead out of the elevator, and outside the shaft, there was another hall.

A hall located in the depths of the mountain that looks almost exactly the same as the "Throne Hall" on the ground. Its structure seems to be a replica of the hall on the ground, even the lines on every column, every wall and dome They are all the same, but the difference is that there is no huge stone throne and dragon head statue in this hall. Instead, there is a circular high platform, which is connected to the ground by a steep stone ladder. .

The lights in this "mirror hall", which is almost the same as the throne hall on the surface, are dim, but as Ballogel climbed up the round high platform, the lighting device installed here immediately started on its own. Along the central axis of the hall extending all the way to the end, in the bright light that suddenly descended, the huge shadows arranged on both sides of the hall became clear.

That is 22 dragon heads intertwined with machinery, pipes, artificial nerve bundles and a small amount of biological tissues. A large number of mechanical arms and pipe cables hanging from the dome fix them in mid-air about one meter above the ground. There is a circular platform under each dragon head. The outer wall of the platform is some kind of ancient metal, and the top surface is transparent crystal. There is blood-like viscous liquid flowing slowly inside the platform. From the depths of the viscous liquid, one can only vaguely see the complicated mechanical pump and pipe system beating like a heart.
