Chapter 908: The cost of knowledge
The changes in this city ... are really dazzlingly fast. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test
Melita Pena stepped out of her temporary accommodation, and the bustling "Pioneer Avenue" came as a grotesque drama.
Decent Cecil citizens and business travelers from north to south come and go on this wide street where twelve horse-drawn carriages can drive together, standing in front of the shop stores along the street to recruit employees of the guests, I don't know where to go The sound of music, all kinds of human voices, the clear bells of two-wheeled vehicles, all kinds of sounds are mixed together, and the lights behind the large windows are bright. The various products popular this year seem to be witnesses to this prosperous new world. Arranged indifferently on those shelves, watching this bustling human world.
It was almost dusk, the setting sun shed from the direction of the western mountain forest, and the faint Jinhui covered the city.
It used to be that the twilight hours were gradually deserted to the cities of the human world, but here, everything has long been different-this is the moment when the workers of a hard day rotate and rest, it is the students who leave the school and the night market Shops are ready to open their doors, and the citizens start their most leisure time of the day. Only then will a comprehensive commercial street like "Pioneer Avenue" be completely lively.
"I don't know what else ..." Melita stretched gracefully in the sunset and muttered gently in her mouth, "I hope this exchange will not be too harmful to health ..."
She walked in the direction of the city center, walking through the prosperity of the human world.
There were several young people walking together, these young people wearing clothes that were obviously foreigners, talking and laughing along the way, but when they passed by Melita, they slowly slowed down. They looked at the agent's direction with confusion. They seemed to have noticed that there was someone here, but they didn't see anything. They couldn't help getting nervous.
Melita smiled softly and walked past these suspicious young men, whispering to herself: "Dragon descent ... still retains a certain level of sensitivity to the same race. Anyway, It ’s also a good thing to get out of that big mountain, this time when the world is prosperous has always been precious ... "
Several young students of the Dragon Descent on the street hesitated and discussed. They felt that the breath that suddenly appeared and disappeared was very strange. One of the young people looked up at the intersection of the street. Quickly walk over there: "Mr. Sheriff! Mr. Sheriff! We suspect someone illegally using stealth spells!"
Melita, who had just stepped out, quickly accelerated her steps: "嘁 ...... Is the first thing I learned when studying abroad is to report ..."
The Cecil Palace stands majesticly in the center of the "Royal District" in the city center. This building is actually no longer the tallest and largest house in the city, but the empire flag flying high above the building makes it always have an aura of awesomeness for the Cecil.
Armed soldiers stood proudly at the gate at the gate, Melita lifted her hiding effect, and walked calmly towards the soldiers, who immediately adjusted their standing position cautiously-but before the soldiers asked. The door opened a short distance away, and a young girl wearing a black and white maid dress, with a dark gold emblem on her chest and cuffs, came out of it.
"Let her come in," the senior female officer greeted the soldiers, "Your Majesty's guest ~"
"Miss Betty?" The soldier looked back at Betty in confusion and turned to Melita. "Okay, I see. But I still need to register."
"Of course," Melita nodded. "Melita Penia, senior agent of the Mithril Treasury, special counselor and friend of His Majesty Govin Cecil-just register."
After passing through the gate at the gate, Melita followed Betty into the "palace" that was expanded and transformed by the lord's palace. She asked casually: "The soldier at the gate is new? Standing before The soldiers should remember me, and the last time I visited was seriously registered. "
Betty thought about it and shook her head in a straightforward voice: "I don't know!"
Looking at the still energetic maidservant (she is no longer a "little maid"), Melita froze for a moment, but soon she smiled slightly and her mood became lighter.
She originally came here to perform a short-to-medium-term observation task ... but unconsciously, these people and things that she observed seem to have become a very interesting and important part of life.
In this way, she came to Gao Wen's study room with a light and good mood. In the study room covered with velvet carpet and world map, she bowed slightly to the imperial ruler sitting behind the desk and said with a smile The opening remarks have been said many times: "Good afternoon, Your Majesty, Merita Penia, senior agent of the Mithril Treasury, is pleased to serve you."
Gao Wen raised his head from a pile of documents and books and glanced at the agent in front of him. After beckoning that Betty could leave, he casually asked: "Today, you are mainly consulting something. First of all, I will ask, Do you have an ancient giant metal tower near Tallond? Probably on the west or northwest ... "
Then Melita almost fell over with a smile on her face.
"What's wrong?" Gao Wen immediately noticed that the agent had a different look. "Is it difficult to answer this question?"
Immediately after he found another strange thing, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Well? You didn't wear a veil today?"
Melita tried hard to maintain a light smile, and replied while adjusting her breath: "I ... I am also a woman after all, and I occasionally want to change my outfit."
Then she took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile: "Your question ... hasn't reached the level of breaking taboos, but it's almost the same. Instead of asking such a scary thing from the beginning, you can ... Do you want to change the usual topic? "
"Oh," Gao Wen nodded clearly, changing the question, "Have you eaten?"
Melita didn't respond at all to what this inexplicable greeting meant, but still subconsciously replied: "... Eat."
"That's good," Gao Wen said casually. "It seems that there is indeed a giant metal tower west of Tallonde?"
Melita adjusted her breath with curiosity on her face: "... Can I ask first? How do you know the existence of this tower?"
"I got a travel note that mentioned a lot of interesting things," Gao Wen pointed at the "Modier Travel Notes" on the table. "A great adventurer once happened to be close to the dragon nation by chance-he went around After the storm, he came to the Arctic region. In his travel notes, he not only mentioned the giant metal tower, but also mentioned more surprising clues, do you want to know? "
Melita immediately noticed something in Gao Wen's expression, and every word she followed became cautious: "A human who has entered the vicinity of the dragon kingdom? How can this be ... What else is mentioned in the travel notes? ? "
"I mentioned your name," Gao Wen looked at each other's eyes. "It clearly records that a dragon accidentally damaged the adventurer's ship and took him to the place where the tower is located in order to remedy the fault." On the 'Island of Steel', the dragon claimed to be Melita Penia, a member of the Tallonde jury ... "
Every time Gao Wen said a word, Melita's eyes seemed to be even bigger, and finally the dragon lady finally couldn't help interrupting his words: "Wait! Mentioned my name? Are you Say, the adventurer who left a travel note says he knows me? Have you seen me in the Arctic? How is this ... "
Gao Wen nodded: "It looks like you have no impression on this, do you?"
"I ... don't have an impression," Melita said with a puzzled look on her face. She never imagined that her senior agent, who had always been responsible for providing consulting services, would one day become a party full of confusion and need to be answered. "I have never been in What human adventurer have you met near Tallond, not to mention bringing people near that tower ... This is against taboos, do you know? Taboos ... "
"Okay, I probably understand. We will talk about this in more detail later," Gao Wen noticed that the agent's mental stress seemed to be rising sharply, and was "urgently killing" (only for Melita) Experienced in the field, he immediately suspended this topic and guided the conversation to follow-up, "This travelogue also mentioned another concept, an unfamiliar noun ... Do you know what" sailor "means?"
Melita was actually relieved when she heard that Gao Wen was shifting the subject, but she failed to exhale this breath successfully. When the words "sailor" entered her ears directly, she only felt her mind. Both Li and the depths of the soul were "booming" at the same time, and in the unbearable roar of Linglong, she also heard Gao Wen's follow-up words: "... What is the legacy of the sailor? Is it a product of knowledge? Does it have a 'secret' that you dragons are keeping ... "
For the first time since serving as a senior agent, Melita tried to block or refuse to answer these questions from customers, but Gao Wen's words seemed to have some magical power to directly penetrate the security protocol she preset for herself-fact Proving that this human being is really weird, Melita found that she could n’t even shut down part of her nervous system in an emergency, could n’t stop thinking about related questions and “reply impulses”, she instinctively started thinking about those answers, and when the answers emerge In an instant, her "body" folded between the element and the present world immediately received an overwhelming detection signal-
The agent was staggering on the spot, her face became extremely ugly, and behind her, an abnormal, dragon-like shadow appeared.
Gao Wen was immediately taken aback by the unexpected strong reaction, and immediately stood up from the desk: "Are you okay?"
Melita waved her hand in pain, and reluctantly took two steps to the desk. She held the table back to steady, and then she showed some loss of appearance, murmured: "Explode ... 38,000 The one that blew ... "
"What exploded? What thirty-eight?" Although Gao Wen heard the other party's words clearly, he didn't understand what it meant. "Sorry, it seems my fault ..."
"No ... you didn't do it on purpose, and it might be reimbursable ..." Melita waved her hand again, whispering with a wry smile. "Well, I must do my duty, your question ... I can only answer part of it." The so-called sailor is an ancient civilization that has left this world, and their legacy is the root cause of the "rebellion of the tide." Yes, the "Ultimate Book" you found in the first place ... It has been said that it is used to steal knowledge, and the tide empire used it to steal the legacy left by the sailors. Those heritages must not be leaked, nor can they be mastered by lower-level mortal civilizations. What I can tell you is Only so much. "
The ancient civilization that has left this world ... the root cause of the tide chaos ... the legacy that cannot fall into the hands of low-level civilization ...
Melita said she could only answer part of it, but these key points she answered were enough to answer most of Gao Wen's questions!
In fact, as soon as he saw Modil ’s travels, he had vaguely guessed the meaning of the so-called “sailor”, guessed what those heritages and giant towers meant, and Melita ’s answer fully confirmed To his guess: The "starter" in the mouth of the dragon clan refers to the mysterious "God Fleet", that is, the ancient civilization that has left a lot of satellites and orbital facilities in space!
The "tide empire" in the ancient times caused a huge crisis after contacting the legacy (knowledge) of the "God Fleet", and eventually led to the chaos of the tide. This matter Gao Wen also received many clues before, this Once was the first time he got positive and accurate information about the "Killing Fleet" from Melita's mouth.
In general, Melita ’s answer actually just confirmed everything that Gao Wen had guessed or had side evidence before, and connected some originally independent clues into a whole. For Gao Wen, this is actually only his one. The series of questions is just the beginning, but for Melita ... it seems that these "little problems" have caused unexpected troubles.
This made Gao Wen feel a bit overwhelmed.
"Sorry, my question is reckless," he immediately apologized to Melita-he didn't care about the so-called "ruler's shelf", not to mention the other party was his first dragon friend, sincere apology is necessary to maintain friendship The condition, "If you think it is necessary, we can stop there."
"It's okay," Melita shook her head immediately. She readjusted her breathing and regained her status as the elegant and stable senior agent of the Mithril Treasury. "My professional ethics do not allow me to do this-continue to consult, My condition is fine. "
"Okay, I will pay attention to my next questions, try not to involve the" dangerous field "," Gao Wen said, while sorting out the questions I prepared in my mind, "I should ask you a name Right? Maybe someone you know. "
Melita suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled relaxedly again: "Of course, this is of course no problem."
Gao Wen nodded: "Do you know a dragon named Enya?"
Melita's face changed suddenly.
The forty-two thousand one also exploded.
