Sword of Daybreaker

Rebuilding this piece of land took up a lot of energy from Hragor and Andal, but even so, they are still paying attention to the news from the continent of Loren-the cage is broken, and the shackles that once held the dragon no longer exist. And what happened in this world is no longer irrelevant to the dragon. The dragons must adapt to the era after returning to the mortal world as soon as possible, and mastering information from the outside world is the most important part of it.

However, it is a pity that the war with the gods destroyed everything in Talrond, including the once-advanced global communication system. The dragons traveling far away can no longer get in touch with Talrond at any time. The dragons who have adapted to the convenience of technology have to have a deep understanding of what is called "a thousand waters and thousands of mountains"-nowadays, sending messages from the Loren continent can only rely on messengers, and even at the speed of the dragon, the fastest one-way information is sent. It also takes more than a day, and there are more serious delays in round-trip transmission.

It is under this situation that Melita and her mission are of special significance to the two Taikoo dragons currently stationed in Tarrond. This is after the dragon kingdom opened its doors to the outside world. The first official line of contact established is also the basis for establishing normal contact with the Loren mainland in the future.

  So when Merita came to Agundor from Binhai County, she received a grand reception from the two leaders for the first time-and the leaders were most concerned about the full details of the 112 meeting.

  After all, the information delivered by the messenger is limited, and some time has passed since the end of the 112 meeting. Both Hragor and Andal paid special attention to whether there were any new changes in the Loren continent.

In the central area of ​​New Agonda, in the "civic center" temporarily remodeled based on the frame of the old factory, Merita sits nervously in front of two ancient dragons transformed into human forms, not far from the alloy wall The flag of Tarrond hung on it, and that flag made Miss Blue Dragon couldn't help but think of the solemn and magnificent oath stone ring with dozens of flags flying. She actually has a lot of things to report, but after Speaker Andar asked about it, she first talked about the situation in the alliance.

"...To sum up, today the mortal nations have established a community alliance with the three empires of Cecil, Typhon, and Silver as the core. The cooperation within the alliance ranges from economy to military, and its cooperation depth and breadth are far beyond the previous ones. For any kind of inter-state "covenant" organization, the foundation of this alliance is "life and death" at the beginning. I think at least until the common crisis is over and the three empires have major conflicts of interest, the structure of this alliance will be extremely stable...

"The process of Talrond's joining the Alliance was very smooth... It can even be said that it went smoothly beyond imagination. The nations welcome the powerful group of'Dragons' as their ally, even if they later learn about the problems that Talrond faces. In a dilemma, this welcome attitude has not changed. However, the hidden danger of the "dragon disaster" that may occur does make many small northern countries seem very nervous, which is also within our expectations...

"I have made contact with the rulers of the three major empires, and I have also visited representatives of many countries. They are full of curiosity about everything about Tarrond. They are willing to cooperate with us while ensuring that the interests of both parties are not harmed. Let’s discuss together how to establish a long-term trade line between Loren and Tarrond. At the same time, they have also proposed varying degrees of technological exchange...will."

Melita chose her words carefully, so as to accurately and unbiasedly convey her experience in Loren Continent to the two leaders in front of her, but after hearing her report, Herragor was just indifferent. Nodded: "For them, even if the powerful dragon civilization is destroyed, it is still a treasure. Advanced technology is the most dazzling and valuable part of it. For us today, it is no longer possible to use these The use of technology in exchange for scarce supplies... is also an unavoidable choice."

“Perhaps we should call it'knowledge',” said Andal on the side. “Talrond used technology far beyond the outside world. After reaching a certain level, it loses the value of communication. , General knowledge can be relatively easily absorbed by a lower level of civilization. The key is how to grasp the degree of this-for many relatively backward countries and regions, some basic dragon language magic and dragon The language rune is enough to bring them considerable development, but for the three empires that have developed to a certain extent, the three empires of Silver, Typhon and Cecil, they are no longer satisfied with the basic dragon language magic and runes, and start Study the deeper secrets of this world..."

"Higher-level technical exchanges will be unavoidable. This is also an inevitable part of Tarrond's return to the mortal world," Herragor nodded, "We should start to set up a special department to sort out, screen, and screen. We have eliminated the black boxes and pollution in the complex knowledge we have, and established an exchange mechanism with the scholars of Loren mainland. I think this department can be called the "Holy Library of Knowledge"..."

  Hearing this rich dragon-style name, Andal expressed his approval on the side: "I have no opinion on this, just pay attention to this matter. You must be extra cautious."

Melita waited for the two Taikoo dragons to complete the exchange, and then said while sorting out her thoughts: "Regarding the exchanges between Tarrond and Loren mainland-including economic and cultural aspects, in fact, Gawain Cecil I gave a suggestion. Ah, I said it was a suggestion. In my opinion, it is almost a complete set of plans..."

   "Gawain Cecil's suggestion?" Andalton showed interest when his face was old, and his eyebrows were slightly raised. "What did he say?"

"He proposed a...'Talronde Economic Revitalization Plan' with the tourism industry as the core," Melita said while taking a collated document from the side-this is her in Shenglong Written during her stay in the Principality, it includes the suggestions provided by Gao Wen and her own adjustments based on the actual situation of Tarrond. "I personally think this is an extremely... bold and creative plan, and It seems that it will produce amazing benefits, and at least it will allow us to get rid of our current embarrassment as soon as possible, without having to rely on assistance from other mortal nations for a long time."

  Andal and Herragor glanced at each other, took the document handed by Merita, and fell into thinking while scanning quickly.

"'Tourism'...This is really a word worth remembering," Andal first looked up from the document, with emotion on his face, "A long, long time ago, in Tarrond there was not that... When it was'stagnation,' our society had such an industry."

"But we weren't like this... so..." Herragor broke the silence on the side. However, the former dragon priest pointed to the plan "this" on the document for a long time and didn't think of a suitable vocabulary. Can express his opinion euphemistically with a strange expression, "This plan is indeed quite creative—"

  Andal nodded: "One said one, indeed."

  Then the two archaic dragons fell silent involuntarily, and after a few seconds of silence in a slightly awkward atmosphere, Herragor couldn't help saying: "Is that Gawain really a dragon disguised as a human?"

   "Impossible, the dragons don’t even make money like him..." Andal said halfway through subconsciously, and then quickly changed his words, "I mean it’s not so creative..."

  Merita looked at Andal carefully, and then at Herragore: "Then this plan?"

"We will make arrangements as soon as possible," Herragor said immediately. "In fact, we have just recently completed the cleanup and survey of the surrounding area of ​​the old incubation factory. It may be suitable as a relatively safe'attraction', while the northern part of the old factory The wilderness can be left to the adventurers from the Loren continent to clean up...Well, then we need to set up a special reception facility in Agundor, an'adventurer's hall'? This sounds like Not bad..."

Melita looked a little bit stunned as the "Dragon Priest", who was always indifferent in her mind, suddenly became so enthusiastic, and suddenly realized that the formidable ancient dragon seemed to have a plan for Gawain. Surprisingly...favored.

   Realizing that she was wandering, Melita quickly condensed her thoughts, coughing slightly and then returned the topic to her report: "In addition, I have one very important thing to report, two leaders."

   "A very important thing?" Speaker Andal noticed Merita's serious expression and immediately became serious, "What happened?"

Melita subconsciously glanced at the two leaders. Suddenly she was a little worried about whether the old Speaker Andar could hold the next message. She considered her vocabulary and tapped sideways to open the topic: "I A special dragon egg was sent to the Cecil Empire before. It was a god’s legacy..."

   "Yes, we remember," Herragor nodded and said, "In fact, Andal and I talked about it yesterday."

  "Are you talking about the egg before?" Melita's heart jumped, thinking that the two Primordial Dragons had some predictive power, "Then you think our god..."

"Our God should be happy," Speaker Andar said with a sigh in a deep voice, "After all, he has been trapped in this land for so many years. If that egg carries his will, he must be too. I will be happy to be able to set foot on a strange land..."

  Merita breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Of course, I saw her two days ago, she seemed to be in a good mood-but I can't understand her expression..."

  As soon as her voice fell, the room fell silent for an instant. Andal still kept that sigh, reacting for two seconds before squeezing a syllable from his throat: "...Huh?"

  Merita: "...Huh?"

   "What did you just say!?" Herragor suddenly broke the silence, "You just said you saw... Him?!"

   "Should use'her'," Melita seemed to have not reacted yet, "She is no longer a god, right?"

   "Merita, this matter is very serious!" Speaker Andal said sternly, "You just said... You saw the'God' again?!"

Melita was startled, and then realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something. She hurriedly sorted out her thoughts and vocabulary that had been somewhat fragmented, and clearly stated what she knew in the shortest possible time: "Yes , The egg we sent to Cecil was actually..."

The expressions of Herragor and Andal became very ugly for the first half of the story, and they gradually alleviated until the end. After they finally confirmed Enya's true situation from Merita several times, they His expression slowed down completely, but another complex expression could not help but appeared on the faces of the two Primordial dragons. Herragor took the lead to break the silence: "You mean, our god... Enya, she is now It has become a dragon egg without divinity and should be classified as a mortal in theory. It is living in the palace of Emperor Cecil and chatting with you very friendly last time?"

"Yes." After the misunderstanding just now, Merita no longer dared to talk nonsense, but to make sure that all the things she knows are said at the first time. "And as far as I know, she is mainly doing it every day. The thing is reading the newspaper and... researching drinks."

  Andal frowned: "I can understand the newspaper, what is a research drink?"

  "...Actually, I don't even understand'reading the newspaper'," Herragor frowned, "I never knew him...she still has such a hobby."

   "I don't understand at all," Melita reported honestly, "This is just what I learned."

  Hragor frowned and thought, and it took a long time to look at Merita: "In addition to what you just reported, did she tell you anything? Or did Gawain Cecil talk to you?"

"They hope that this matter will not spread in the dragon society for the time being, and it will only be known to the upper class," Melita nodded and said, "Gawain Cecil said he hopes to take this opportunity to study the gods''divine nature' and ' The issue of decoupling of human nature will be a major and long-term project of the Theocracy, and he hopes that Tarrond can also participate in this matter after he spares no effort. Ms. Enya did not say much, she seems ...Just enjoying today's "retirement life" and enjoying the quiet time in Cecil, and I don't really want us to disturb her."

   "I understand the situation," Herragor rubbed his forehead as he spoke. Obviously, his "understanding" process was quite difficult. "If it was really her, all this would be reasonable."

"Study the decoupling of divinity and humanity," Andal's frowned brows slowly stretched out until now, "Yes, there are huge secrets hidden in it. I was so shocked just now that I didn't expect this aspect... "

"Anyway, this matter really cannot spread in the dragon society, especially at the current stage when the interim government has insufficient control," Herragor said categorically. "The dragon gods have fallen. This is indisputable. In fact, there cannot be a slight discount and room for "discussion"."

"We should discuss the issues after the discussion," Andal tapped on the table. "Now it seems that we not only need to set up a permanent ambassador in the Cecil Empire, but this matter is more urgent than imagined. ——We must have a long-term resident representative and liaison personnel over there, and the candidate should be decided now."

  The two dragon leaders looked at each other, and after a second, the two sights fell on Merita in the same way.

  Merita: "?"
