Sword of Daybreaker

Over the years in the human world, Maggie has imagined more than once what it would be like to meet her father again.

Any imagination she had was different from the scene before her.

The black dragon covered with mechanical armor watched Sir Golos standing in front of his eyes, and the magic stone lights around Jiping illuminated the whole square. The subtle embarrassment when the father and the daughter met again was a little After the accidental resolution, Maggie found that she was not as nervous as she thought.

She even smiled again: "Tomorrow I will apply for repair here, father-the pit you stepped on is a big problem."

Sir Goros spread his hand: "At least that's not all my problem."

Maggie froze, and after two seconds of solitude she unexpectedly looked at her father: "Are you kidding me?"

"I learned a long time with Sir Maximilian ..." Gorosh said with a hint of embarrassment. "After you leave ... I don't want to complain about your father being rigid when you go home this way. Like a rock, ca n’t even hear a joke ... ”

The black dragon's long giant tail suddenly swayed unconsciously in the open space, and the stratum corneum struck a string of bright sparks on the solid ground.

"It looks like you're doing well in the human world," Sir Goros coughed slightly, and looked up at his daughter. "The Cecilians have made such an amazing set of armor for you than any king and knight. It ’s going to be amazing, making it is not easy. "

"This is the steel wing, which allows the inborn deformed dragons to fly freely," Maggie shook her neck slightly, and the upper body's armor plate surface was laminar with streamers. "You're right, it cost a lot to make Human and material resources, but it's not for me alone-it's just the first set of steel wings. "

"The first set ..." Sir Goros immediately heard the hidden meaning from Maggie's words, and he opened his eyes wide, "You mean, the Cecils designed this armor for all dragon descent, it Is it ... a mass-produced product? "

Having just come into contact with those investment plans and trading schemes of Gavin Cecil, Jazz's thinking turned to the direction of "commodity" in the first place.

"You can understand this," Maggie nodded slightly. "But this is not in the regular trade list. Her Majesty Gao knows some restrictions of the Principality of the Holy Dragon. Therefore, this suit is only my personal" gift ". I show it to you in this way, and I hope you can judge whether it can appear in the presence of Grand Duke Baloger. If it can, the wings of steel will start mass production. If not, there will always be only this in the world. A set of steel wings. "

Sir Goros heard the daughter's words with sorrow and thought. He finally broke the silence after more than ten seconds of contemplation: "... Maggie, Cecil has given me too many accidents and shocks, and This accident is now the biggest one.

"I'm afraid I can't give you an answer right away ... This thing is so amazing, and you know, it is blatantly challenging the traditional order of the Holy Dragon Principality. If this thing is really productive, you and I can imagine that scene- —The young dragon descendants will probably own it at any cost, and then fly freely among the sacred mountains in the north. The principality is indeed undergoing some changes now. We are even actively touching the human world and starting trade with the south, but this is not the case. It means we are ready to break all traditions. "

This answer was not surprising to Maggie. She just regretted it and sighed in regret: "I know it will be. The Principality of the Holy Dragon has countless traditions and taboos, but there are always some traditions for thousands of years. When things change, only the taboo on the sky ... has never changed. Father, I'm really curious, what exactly is in the sky, so that the creatures with wings growing these days would resist it so much? "

"... When I was young, I was as curious as you," Sir Golos shook his head after silence. "However, Her Majesty Ballogel and the Dragon Blood Council will tell you that the highest taboo is the highest taboo, including Asking the cause of the taboo is itself a taboo. Maggie, as his courtier and your father under Barogel, I can only tell you the only 'tolerance' behind this taboo, which is at least south of the extreme northern mountains. Somewhere you can fly. "

"South of the extreme north mountains ...?" Maggie noticed this weird limitation and could not help repeating it in a low voice. "Why is it south of the extreme north mountains? Is there anything north ...?"

Sir Goros sighed, telling a secret that only some of the upper dragons knew: "That's Tallund's direction."

Maggie froze, wondering what to say for a while.

Sir Gorosh shook his head: "Anyway, I will still tell the Archduke Balroger about the Steel Wings. For whatever reason, this must be known to the Archduke of Dragon Blood and the Council of Dragon Blood. In addition, I would also like to express my gratitude to Her Majesty Gavin Cecil-thank him for the gift you gave him, and thank him for taking into account the traditional taboos of the Duchy of the Holy Dragon. Humans have mastered the technology to make this steel wing , But did not use it directly to make a profit, but let you ask for my opinion, as two aliens who did not originally intersect, I think this can be regarded as a considerable degree of respect. "

Sir Goros' response made the atmosphere between the father and daughter somewhat rigid. The two were silent and caught their own thoughts, but soon, Maggie asked another question: "Father, if there are some young people Dragon descent is willing to accept a certain degree of supervision and restraint. It only operates in the southern human kingdom and uses steel wings only within the prescribed range. Do you think the Dragon Blood Council and Grand Guild allow it? "

Obviously, Sir Golos had not thought in this direction before, and his face was a little stunned at this time. After a brief reaction, he frowned: "You mean to let the young dragon descendants come to Cecil, just to use These mechanical armors experience flying? This ... "

"Strictly speaking, it is an international student, father," Maggie immediately corrected Sir Gorosh's statement. "The private communication channel between Cecil and the Holy Principality and the official channel for international students are about to open, right? The dragon descendants who came to Cecil naturally escaped from the 'no-fly zone' in the extreme northern mountains. Just like me, flying with steel wings is obviously not a violation of traditional taboos-ah, for both countries It doesn't even involve 'trade'. Cecil just produced these devices on his own land and did not sell them to the north, while the dragons only experienced some 'local projects' on Cecil's land ... "

A long list of content that Maggie quickly said made Sir Gorosh's eyes widen, and at the end even stunned, until Maggie's voice fell, the jazz looked at his daughter with a strange expression: "Ma Ji, you ... where did you learn such a weird ... idea? You never did ... "

Maggie opened her mouth. "I ..."

"My child, you have learned too much in the human world, and you have learned their cunning together. At this point you are even a bit like Ms. Azarena," Gorosch said with a bit of crying. "You Way of thinking is almost like a person! "

Not far away, Asha Lena, who maintains the sound-proof enchantment, suddenly burst into dissatisfaction: "Hey! I just stand here and listen!"

Maggie blinked at Gorosh: "Father, no matter how I think, at least what I say is logical, isn't it?"

"I ..." Golos hesitated, and shrugged helplessly, "Well, from a certain point of view it is true. I'll think about it and tell the Grandpa."

Then he frowned, and said to Maggie: "Child, we haven't seen each other for many years. Don't you want to tell me anything other than these topics? Do you ... really don't want to go home?"

Maggie was silent for a few seconds, her huge head dangled slightly, and said a word that Sir Golos thought he would never hear: "Father, I acted impulsively."

The jazz froze, and for a whole minute he stood there like a sculpture, with an unexpected look on his face, until Azarena coughed not far away, the middle-aged dragon Yui woke up like a dream, and said subconsciously: "So you have to ..."

Maggie shook her head lightly: "Father, my departure was an impulse, but I have stayed in the human world for so many years, but it is not an impulse. Father, I am no longer a child, I have my identity here And duties, no matter if I am under Gao Wenji or the Grand Duchess Victoria, I will not be able to leave. And ... I will now face awkward situations when I return to the Duchy of the Holy Dragon. You should know this. After all, I'm not like Ms. Azarena, I'm not a born Dragon Seal Witch, and I don't have a more special bloodline besides being your daughter.

"Dragon Blood Council will definitely hold me accountable for my taboo offenses."

In the calm narrative, the memories of the past years also pass by in the memories of Maggie.

Many years ago, when he jumped from Longyue Cliff, he was still a too young child, protected by the family and protected by the mountains. At that time, many of the ideas at that time seemed to be a little ridiculous now-even the yearning for the sky Or the pursuit of the so-called "freedom". Those sounding simple and strong thoughts can once stir the heart of a young dragon, but after many years, it is inevitable to appear naive and reckless.

After years of ups and downs, she has felt more and more that the "ambitions" when she jumped off Longyue Cliff are actually very small in this complicated and dangerous world. In this insecure world, there are War, there is death, there are deadly battles between dark sects and gods, there are also stormy seas rolled up by the changes of the times, a dragon descending from the sky with a dream of the sky jumping from a high cliff, rushing into this turbulent world Small like a flying insect, there is no time to take into account any dreams.

The "outside world" is not as romantic and epic as it is imagined. More often, it is the hunger and cold when falling at the foot of the northern border, the despair and embarrassment of facing the crystal cluster army, and facing the alien dynasty Helpless at the time of the change.

But it is precisely because of these storms that the impulse and recklessness of young people faded away. The dragon descendants who jumped from Longyue Cliff then could not leave this "new home" as lightly as they had left home.

"I am now an Air Force Instructor in the Cecil Empire, a senior consultant for several aircraft projects at the Imperial Magic Technology Institute, and a deputy to the Archduke Victoria and a former consultant to Her Majesty Gao Wen. This position is with you in Barlow The position in front of Duke Geer is quite the same. I was really in a hurry to leave home, but when I returned to God, I had taken root too deeply in the human world, and I must stay here-whether it is for responsibility, affection, or for the dragon. I have to stay with the glory of the descent. "

Sir Goros was silent for a long time, and finally everything turned into a bitter smile: "I ... understand, you are right.

"But Maggie, even for these reasons, you can go home and see, just like my courtier, I have the opportunity to come here and meet you.

"The Principality of the Holy Dragon is establishing normal diplomacy with the Cecil Empire, and the gates of the northern mountains are about to be opened. We will exchange ambassadors with human beings, will open civilian channels, and open long-term trade lines. Then, the principality is no longer a closed place, and you will no longer be condemned by traditional taboos-even the Dragon Blood Council will no longer hold the old account of your "escape from Longyue Cliff" because you are the only one The dragon descendants who held important positions in the Cecil Empire are a valuable link. "

Maggie looked at her father quietly, and she lowered her head gently a long time ago: "It's true as you said ... then I will go back to see you then."
