Chapter 1144 Dragon Blood Hall
When he came out of the hatching room, the sunlight shining through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor had turned orange. Gao Wen came to a window and saw the sky light near dusk gradually spreading across the streets and alleys of the city. The towering magic energy broadcast tower in the distance was bathed in the sky light. The magic energy obelisk on the top of the tower was floating and rotating under the action of the anti-gravity device. The crystal surface that was accurately cut constantly reflects the magnificent sunset. Under the tower, there is a city that is still prosperous and becomes more prosperous every day.
This is a city he built with his own hands, and it is also a city built by thousands of builders. It stands proudly at the foot of the dark mountains, solid and steady every brick and stone, carrying all the hopes and lives of the people living here.
But in a sense, this city is actually only standing in people's "observation world". It can be touched and reached, with its own colors, textures and even smells, but all of this is just a layer of "image" covering the real universe... And the real universe under this layer of image is still untouchable to the mortals in this world.
Gao Wen let out a light breath, slowly relieved the meaningless illusion and alienation that filled his heart, and shook his head with a little self-deprecating smile.
This kind of problem that is almost philosophical... If you think too much, it will make people feel psychologically ill.
A familiar breath appeared in perception. Gao Wen turned his head and looked in the direction where the breath came. Between the light and shadows next to the floor-to-ceiling window, he saw a petite figure jumping out of the air lightly, while looking at himself up and down while landing.
"As soon as I came over, I saw you thinking about life in the corridor?" Amber looked at Gao Wen with suspicion, and skillfully used the strange words that Gao Wen taught her, "What? I talked to Dragon God for a long time and felt that your entire three views seemed to be reorganized... This is the first time I saw you showing this way."
Gao Wen recalled the things he heard from Enya, and a complicated and inexplicable smile appeared on his face: "Is the three views reorganized... It's not true that I say that."
"...Wow," Amber exaggerated with exaggeration, "This...can you make you feel that the three-view reorganization?! It seems that the Dragon God is indeed not an ordinary egg. It's the first time I have been with you for so long that I have seen someone defeat you in the three-view."
"Are you a compliment?" Gao Wen glanced at the elf's shame from the corner of his eyes, "And what is the way to describe it if it is not an ordinary egg...why try to say this in front of Eunya?"
Amber thought about it carefully, measuring the combat power between herself and an egg, and there was a hint of desire to try on her face, but fortunately, reason defeated her action in the end. She suspected that the dragon egg, which was once a god, could only slap herself in various places through the "indescribable divine power", so she had to wave her hand in disappointment: "Don't care about these details... By the way, what are you talking about? It can actually make you show such an expression?"
Gao Wen's slightly playful expression became serious and deep again. He looked at the "half-elf" girl in front of him. The other party's big amber eyes were full of curiosity and a little worried. After a few seconds of pondering, he sighed softly and looked up at the glorious sun that was gradually falling to the horizon in the distance.
"Did you see the sun?" he asked casually, "What does it look like now?"
"Sun?" Amber was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand why Gao Wen suddenly asked such a question, "What else can it look like... a big orange-red fireball? or a big balloon that is wrapped in clouds and fog? Anyway, that's what scholars say... By the way, does this issue have anything to do with what you are discussing with the Dragon God today?"
Gao Wen did not answer Amber's question, but just said softly as if he was talking to himself: "Yes, the big orange-red fireball... But perhaps at some point, in the eyes of some individuals, it no longer looks like this..."
"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 many birds have different eyes than those of humans or elves. The colors of things they see are different. They can even see many things that humans cannot see with their naked eyes. The sun in their eyes may be green or purple. In our eyes, the clear and empty sky may be covered with magic vortexes of all sizes. Some birds may even be confused by vortexes due to nerve diseases, and circling in the empty sky until they are exhausted..."
"Oh?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows with interest, "Is that true?"
"Of course," Amber said, spreading his hands, "not only there are, but some more superstitious hunters who call this crazy bird that circulates in the sky to death "Bird of Fortune". They regard that as an unlucky sign. If they see the Bird of Fortune before entering the mountain, they will even give up their hunting for a day in case they are like those birds, "being confused by the invisible demon spirit and trapped in the mountains." But now many people know that it is just because the birds in the sky have seen things that humans cannot see..."
Amber was talking about the new knowledge she learned with interest, but Gao Wen's mood was inexplicably calmed down in this half-elf nagging narrative. He smiled and shook his head gently. In essence, the phenomenon of "Bird of Doom" and the "macro observer who fell into chaos" revealed by Enya are not the same thing, but the two have subtle similarities, which makes him feel a hint of wonder and coincidence.
When Amber finally talked about it, Gao Wen spoke out and broke the silence: "Is there anything wrong with you coming to me?"
"Ah, I've forgotten all the business!" Amber slapped his forehead and quickly came to his senses. "We have received a contact from Beigang. Tallond will send a permanent ambassador and several diplomatic officials to stay in Cecil. The list and corresponding application letter have been sent to the ambassador, our old acquaintance, Miss Melita Pernia."
"The ambassador... It seems that Tallond's side has finally gradually gotten on the right track," Gao Wen was not surprised at all when he heard the news from Amber, but just said softly, "Is Melita? It's almost the same as I expected."
"According to the news from the 'trajectory' intelligence line, Tifeng also received a formal official letter from Tallond's diplomatic relations. Another group of ambassadors will arrive in Aldernan in the near future, but the date is later than us," Amber continued, "In addition, the intelligence officers we sent to the northern part of the mainland have heard that the authorities of the Holy Dragon Principality are taking a series of public opinion guidance involving Tallond, and the domestic wind direction is gradually changing. The dragon descendants are re-examining their relationship with the pure-blooded dragon. The original statement of "exile" is gradually being downplayed by the official. According to my judgment, this should be a 'preparation' for the normalization of the relationship between Tallond and the Holy Dragon Principality."
While speaking, the increasingly mature intelligence leader couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, the last time I saw Maggie, I saw her dazed in the garden. It seems that the relationship between the dragon descendants for Tallond is indeed quite complicated..."
Listening to Amber's feelings, Gao Wen's thoughts floated in another direction, and the words that Enya and herself were said to him could not help but emerge in his mind:
"What kind of holy dragon priest do you think is the current 'Holy Dragon Principality'?"
He sighed softly, gathered his thoughts again, and interrupted Amber: "Don't forget to inform Hetty and prepare her for the welcome to the permanent ambassador. Not only the ambassador of Tallond, but we will soon welcome more embassies from countries. It seems that the embassy street will soon need to be expanded again.
"In addition, let me inform Rebecca and prepare to call up master scholars in the field of Demon Tide and Gods. We are going to hold a meeting and I have something to announce."
Amber felt something from his tone. She raised her head and intersected Gao Wen's gaze while searching. After two seconds, she lowered her head solemnly: "I understand."
"I thought you would definitely chase and ask something," Gao Wen couldn't help but look at the half-elf, "It doesn't look like your usual style of doing things."
Amber rolled her eyes immediately, and at the same time, the figure gradually faded in the air, and only the increasingly ethereal voice came into Gao Wen's ears: "Can I grow up too..."
...
When the fire gradually rose to the high point of the sky, the chill finally retreated from all corners of the entire continent. Even on the top of the mountains in the extreme north, the ice-covered area shrank to the smallest stage of the year. Longlin Fort still stood proudly on the highest mountain. The snow surrounding the fortress had retreated to the highest point of the mountain. Looking down from the castle's high terrace, the surface of the mountain covered with rocks and soil was green, extending down along the mountain. The greenness became more and more intense, spreading all the way to cities, villages and wilderness in the distance.
The Dragon Blood Lord Balogel turned around and left the terrace, walked through the small corridors and stone arches connecting the terrace and the main castle, and passed the burning magic brazier and the ancient and solemn dragon seal stone pillars, and then came to the deepest part of the Dragon Fortress and the hall where the imperial throne was placed.
His most trusted court officials, Golosh Hickel and Eugene Natosh, were standing on both sides of the throne. Except for these two trusted court officials, the entire throne hall was empty at this moment. The guards and servants who were supposed to be serving here were all shut out.
"Your Majesty," Eugene Natosh, wearing a white twill robe, took a step forward. Although Balogel was named "Dragon Blood Lord", his title was "Your Majesty" in the principality he ruled. "The road to the lower level has been activated, and the Dragon Blood Council is waiting for your visit."
"I know," Balogel nodded slightly, then glanced at the two court officials, "This time, you go with me."
"Your Majesty?" Golosh Hickel opened his eyes in surprise, "But today is not..."
"I'm going to visit the old friends there," Balogel said softly, "you guys come with me."
The two court officials looked at each other subconsciously, then their eyes calmed down and they nodded slowly.
Baloger no longer spoke, but walked towards the back of the imperial seat. Behind this huge seat that looked like a huge stone, which looked like a huge stone, stands a large statue of dragon head. It is the most solemn and imposing "decoration" in the hall. In the open space between the dragon head and the imperial seat, a round stone floor slightly protrudes the surface, and its edges are decorated with light golden lines.
In silence, the Dragon Blood Lord and two court officials stood in the center of the round ground. After a moment of waiting, a voice came from the dragon head statue behind: "Elevator... go down, destination, Dragon Blood Council."
A slight tremor came from under his feet, and the circular ground decorated with light golden edges shook for a moment, and began to sink smoothly.
Balogel couldn't help but sigh: After Omega left, too many advanced automatic systems turned into scrap copper and iron due to network interruption. Only these "old things" seem extremely reliable because of the use of outdated technology.
Golosh Hickel and Eugene Natosh, the two dragon courtiers, did not feel that much emotion. They just looked solemn and descended with the platform in silence. The entire elevator sank into a very deep shaft, which quickly passed through the main building of Longlin Castle, a floor or even the foundation below, but the entire descending process did not stop, but continued to move towards the depths of the ancient high mountain.
In the shaft, the automatically sensed lights illuminated the ancient structures on the circular inner wall that had undergone countless renovation and maintenance. The uppermost layer of the shaft also showed a stone-like texture, but as the height continued to decrease, the well wall had begun to show a distinct alloy structure. Those guide grooves, energy conduits and steel cables in operation that were integrated with the well wall, and bearings flashed in the light. Amid the mechanical friction of the lift, a humming sound from the depths of the underground gradually became obvious.
Finally, with a shaking and a clicking sound of locking device activation, the elevator stopped on a certain floor, and the rigid and rigid synthesized sound came into the ears of the three passengers: "The elevator...stops, 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 lights reflected in the eyes of Grand Duke Baloger.
He took the lead in walking out of the elevator, and outside the shaft, there was another hall.
A hall located deep in the mountain and looks almost exactly the same as the "Minist Hall" on the surface. Its structure seems to be a replica of the hall on the surface. Even every column, every wall and the dome are exactly the same. The difference is that there is no huge stone Minist Hall and the dragon head in this hall. Instead, it is a circular platform connected by a steep stone staircase between the platform and the ground.
The lights in this "mirrors hall" which is almost exactly the same as the Earth's throne hall on the surface are dim, but as Baloger climbed onto the circular platform, the lighting device set up here immediately activated itself, and the bright lights extended to the end along the central axis of the hall. In the sudden drop of bright light, the huge shadows arranged on both sides of the hall became clear.
