Eight hundred and seventieth IX touch the border
A diffusing light blue ring rippled around the detection door, and accompanied by the voice broadcast of the artificial intelligence Omega, the barrier opened, and the door to Tallond stabilized in front of Noreta.
The white and elegant dragon swayed its wings and glided through the navigation light ring in front of the gate with a beautiful slid through the barrier entrance, shrinking and closing behind her, isolating the howling cold air in the Arctic Ocean.
Noreta lowered her head and enjoyed the comfortable temperature created by the weather controller. The green mountains and hills extended in her vision. The low-altitude transportation network between cities scattered and intertwined on the earth. In the familiar scenery of this hometown, she took a deep breath and let her four biological lungs and two sets of mechanical lungs in the clean and warm air.
Tallond is like spring all year round, at least for the last four thousand years, but earlier, this continent was covered with snow or covered with lava sea of fire dragons. The race trapped in a cage, their long civilization is as boring as long life. In the years calculated in millennia, the Senate resets the weather controllers to change the "appearance" of this continent almost every ten thousand years. In the current cycle, Tallond's "theme" is spring.
This change is a few of the permitted "nonsense" behaviors under the gaze of gods. It has no meaning, but the dragons enjoy it.
Some meaningless thoughts flashed through my mind, and Noreta began to lower her height. She circled the outer mountain barrier for a moment, then flew straight to the location of the headquarters of the Misin Treasury of Argondor between the Chongshan Mountains.
Between the mountains and ridges, the magnificent and gorgeous Argondore is bathing in the dim sunshine. This long day is about to reach its end. The huge day that ruled the sky for nearly half a year has gradually become sank to the horizon in the ups and downs day after day. The white dragon flew towards a gorgeous palace on the top of the mountain in the sunset. The walls on one side of the palace have automatically opened, and a wide take-off and landing platform extends out...
Noreta landed smoothly on the take-off and landing platform, moving her wings that were slightly tired due to the long-distance flight. Then she heard a sharp scream coming from under her feet: "Hey, you've stepped on my whole body!"
The white dragon paused in place for a while before slowly looking down at her feet. Seeing a figure in a lilac dress drilling out from under her huge dragon claws. After a few seconds, she slowly said in a not surprised tone: "Melita, why are you standing on the platform?"
"I just landed here before I had time to walk away!" Melita finally came out and immediately raised her head and shouted to her friends for many years, "You have no problem with your eyes. Didn't you see me?"
Bailong lowered his head: "...I didn't see it."
"...You are revenge, you are too vengeful," Melita complained loudly, "Isn't it just that you accidentally stepped on you last time, you actually stepped on you specially..."
Noreta didn't say anything, but just quietly looked down at her friend complaining. After the other party finally calmed down, she said slowly: "I saw a book in the human world, about knights and dragons, and some stories in it looked familiar."
Melita, who was complaining loudly, suddenly stopped moving, and after a long time, he raised his head awkwardly: "Probably...it is probably the story made up by those minstrels of humanity over the past two years?"
"It's a story from hundreds of years ago, reprinted," Noreta looked at the small figure under her feet without blinking, and the dragon claws seemed to move indifferently, "and it seemed very popular."
Melita immediately muttered: "Damn it...didn't it mean that humans have a lot of forgetfulness..."
But Noreta just lowered her head and looked at the friend again, then she shook her head: "Forget it, let's talk about it later. I met that Gauven Cecil and brought back something to the speaker to see. What's the situation of your mission?"
"Gaven Cecil?" Melita found that the other party no longer pursued the villain story of the Dragon Quest. She breathed a sigh of relief, then heard a familiar name, and her eyebrows subconsciously raised her eyebrows, "This is a coincidence... In a sense, what I want to report this time also has something to do with him.
"We found the legendary shield that the Cecil family lost a hundred years ago. It was the shield that Gauvin Cecil once led all the way out of the wasteland, what did that thing do?"
Looking at the obviously confusing expression on Melita's face, Noreta just shook his head calmly: "I don't guess whether you say it or not?"
Melita choked, but soon shrugged with habit, and said casually: "In addition to some poor accessories, the main body of the shield has a high probability of falling off the 'Sky'. If we judged correctly, it is part of the host array."
Noreta's calm and indifferent appearance was instantly broken, and on her giant dragon's face covered with scales, a sense of surprise that humans could recognize instantly appeared. She couldn't help but exclaim: "Cangqiu... are you sure?!"
"It's basically certain, you know, although I'm a young dragon, Calador, who was on mission with me, is a knowledgeable old dragon."
"...This is an extraordinary discovery... A human, who has been holding the fragments of the sky for more than ten years, can't imagine how much impact it will have on him... No wonder he died so early that year. But how did he go back to resurrection..." Noreta murmured subconsciously, but suddenly she frowned again, "Wait, it's not right. If it's the fragments falling from the sky, it should fall near the equator. No matter how far it deviates, it can't deviate from the northern continent of Loren. How did it fall into the hands of Gowen Cecil, who led the Northern Expeditionary Force at that time?"
"If you really want to let go of your imagination, there are too many possibilities. Maybe the fragment originally fell near the equator and then moved to the north of Loren Continent? For example, it fell into the hands of the elves and was taken to the north by the traveling elves. It may also be related to the impact three thousand years ago. The collision... tsk, it's really a splash of fragments..."
"The impact three thousand years ago..." It seemed that Melita's words suddenly touched Noreta's thoughts. The latter showed a thoughtful look and couldn't help but whisper while gently shook his head, "We still haven't figured out why the God of Nature did that at that time... It really alarmed too many extraordinary existences, and even our gods were alarmed..."
Melita was about to speak when she suddenly felt a faint sense of gaze and uneasiness that emerged from the depths of her soul surged from all directions. She immediately shook her head: "Noretta, let's not continue to discuss these things,"
"...You're right," Noreta closed her mouth equally rationally. At the same time, a changing light curtain began to cover her from top to bottom. "Let's go see Speaker Andal first, this world...maybe it's really going to start to become interesting."
...
In the rotunda hall surrounded by ornate pillars and relief walls, lights lit up one by one, and a crystal-like transparent light curtain descended from the air, and the fluorescent light reflected Andal's huge body full of implant transformation traces. This awesome ancient dragon woke up from a shallow sleep. He looked at the entrance of the hall and saw Noreta and Melita who had turned into human form walking to his throne of the soul.
"Ah...two young dragons with talent," Speaker Andal's gentle voice rang in the hall, with a smile in his tone, "You are here."
Noreta took a step forward and bowed slightly: "Speaker, we have completed our respective field tasks. We need to report to you directly if there are special circumstances."
"Speak, I'm listening."
Noreta and Melita looked at each other, then the latter nodded and signaled that the former would speak first.
Noreta then raised his head and looked at the ancient dragon on the Throne of the Heart: "The Cecil Empire in the human world has built a large-scale, magic-based communication system. Their maximum-powered antenna has recently captured a set of mysterious signals, which I think is worth paying attention to."
"Mysterious signal?" Speaker Andal's mechanical prosthetic eye turned to Noreta. "Is it made by the elemental creatures in the eastern far sea? They have been trying to repair the spacecraft, and often create some strange... 'movement'."
"It shouldn't be," Noreta shook his head, "I have recorded a copy of the signal, and hopefully through your permissions, let Omega's advanced mental layer analyze it directly."
Andal thought for a moment, nodded slightly: "Yes."
As he finished speaking, a floor in front of the Throne of the Mind changed, and the metal cover gathered in a faint friction sound. A light golden alloy pillar with a light-colored light flashing on the surface rose from the opening of the floor. At the top of the pillar there were a series of interfaces, wafers and flashing runes.
Noreta stepped forward and fumbled from the back of her neck. Then with a light click, she opened the bionic skin cover hidden behind her neck, and pulled out a slender cable. The end of the cable flashed light, and the next second it was connected to the alloy pillar in front of the Throne of the Mind, tightly sewn.
Within one thousandth of a second, Noreta uploaded the signal sample that had been transferred to Omega before in his auxiliary electronic brain.
Melita couldn't help but frown as she watched the scene: "I can't accept it even if the human body is transformed like this..."
"This helps support the mission in the rear," Noreta turned his head and looked at him, "You are a young dragon clan with such an old mindset that even implant modification is more conservative than most dragons."
Just as Melita was about to say something, she heard Speaker Andal coughing gently on the throne of the soul, and then immediately closed her mouth.
"Now, let's hear the original rhythm of this signal"
As Speaker Andal finished speaking, a low and gentle buzzing began to sound in the huge rotunda hall, followed by a trembling ring and jumping curve on the crystal curtain surrounding the Throne of the Heart. A sound became clearer in the buzzing sound.
It sounded like a rhythmic buzzing, mixed with a heartbeat in the middle, as if an invisible singer was humming something beyond the understanding of the mortal mind. After playing for more than ten seconds, it began to repeat and repeat.
The sound echoing in the hall suddenly stopped, and Speaker Andal's voice sounded again: "After converting it into audio, I can't hear anything for the time being. This may be some kind of psychic singing, but it may also be just the magic of the human antenna resonating with the atmosphere. We need to make further conversion and interpretation of it. Omega, let's start."
Omega's voice rang in the hall: "Start to translate the original signal into a numeric combination, into a geometric figure, into a standard spectrum, into a multi-digital encoding... Start testing the possibility of all combinations..."
While Omega started working, Speaker Andal's gentle voice also came into Melita and Noreta's ears: "No matter what rule this signal is encoded or encrypted, mathematics must be its common language, and the rules are hidden in numbers, unless the signal is sent out by a complete chaotic creature or a mind that cannot be understood by mortals..."
Melita and Noreta nodded while listening, accepting this wisdom-filled teaching. However, suddenly, an indescribable awe and peeping feeling from the soul captured the hearts of every dragon on the scene. Noreta and Melita's faces changed at the same time, and the implanted light on Andal's body became instantly unstable.
"Omega, stop analyzing." The Speaker shouted immediately.
"Omega understands, stop parsing, and the task hangs."
"Just..." Melita raised her head with difficulty, muttering in a low voice with cold sweat on her face.
"God is watching us, a warning..." Speaker Andal's face looked extremely ugly, "We can't continue."
Then he slowly took a few breaths before finishing the following words:
Chapter completed!
