Chapter 909 Always have to pay something

Gao Wen watched Melita's face turn from red to white, and from white to red. The lady of the agent held a corner of the desk with her hands, her eyes suddenly widened, and her whole body couldn't help but shake. Then, a low and strange murmur sounded from the depths of her throat. The murmur seemed to be mixed with countless murmurs from different wills, and a pair of dragon-wing phantoms that almost covered the entire study opened instantly, and there seemed to be thousands of pairs of eyes hidden in the phantom, staring at Gao Wen's position at the same time.

The next second, all the eyes in the phantom disappeared. Melita forced the urge to tear and separation deep in her soul. Her knuckles turned white due to force. Her eyes were dazed for a long time before focusing on Gao Wen: "Another explosion..."

Gao Wen didn't even hear what she was muttering clearly this time. He was only full of surprise and subconsciously reached out to help Melita: "You... I just asked a name, how could it be..."

Melita gasped for two breaths before squeezing out the words: "That is... our God. My God, I never expected you to suddenly say His real name, and I didn't expect that the real name you said would attract His attention..."

Gao Wen was stunned.

Two seconds later, he realized that he had heard it correctly and exclaimed: "You said yes... that's the name of the Dragon God?!"

"Yes," Melita said with a wry smile, and staggered to the backrest chair beside her and sat down - as a senior agent, doing so without the permission of the guests is actually a very rude behavior, but this time she violated her "professional qualities" for the first time, "and please don't say that name directly... This is really a huge risk to me..."

Gao Wen had not completely recovered from the impact of knowing the truth. At this time, he was rumbling with countless guesses in his mind while asking again, "Wait! Did you say that the god just now "attention" here?"

He thought of the illusory dragon wings that appeared behind Melita at that moment, and the vague, "number of eyes" deep in the dragon wing phantom. He thought it was just an illusion. At first he thought it was just an illusion, but now from Melita's words, he suddenly realized that the situation might not be that simple-

Just now, just before his eyes, the "god" far away in Tallond heard someone calling His name here and looked here!

"Yes, a brief gaze..." Melita smiled reluctantly, "Please rest assured, He has retracted his gaze... There are very few mortals calling the real name of the gods outside of Tallond, so that just now it should be just curiosity."

"Can the gods have such curiosity..." Gao Wen couldn't help but mumble, and at the same time, a series of clues were quickly combined in his mind - the blonde woman who suddenly appeared in front of Modir Verd was the mysterious dragon god who was stranded in the world, and the latter also helped Modir who was in trouble; after facing the gods, Modir was completely unscathed, and did not fall into madness or mutation, and returned to the human world safely; the dragon god forbids the dragon clan from approaching the giant tower near Tarlongd, and even her "person" had obvious resistance and fear of the tower. However, even so, she chose to help a reckless human, and she even told Modir openly...

There are puzzling motivations and connections hidden in a series of things. Even if you have rich literary association skills, it is difficult to find a reasonable answer.

As for whether Modir's record is reliable, whether the blonde woman who appeared in front of him was a real dragon god... Gao Wen had no doubt about this at all.

Near Tallond, there should be no bold and arrogant existence that pretends to be a god. The name "Enya" is definitely unique within the dragon clan.

Gao Wen's face changed several times, his brows frowned and his eyes were deep. He didn't breathe softly until a minute later.

I won't consider other mysteries for now. His biggest gain this time... Perhaps it was the accident that he learned the "name" of a god. This was the third god who knew the name of the god, except Amoen Julu, the upper narrator Naretiel Duvalt.

But the rules of this world are full of mystery, and he doesn't know what the functions of these names are... Now it seems that he can determine only one use, that is, he acts as a "call number", and it may not be able to connect. If it is connected, it may also require sacrifice to a friend of the dragon clan...

He glanced at Melita who was slowly adjusting his breath. The latter's face finally became a little normal, but he was still a little weak - this was the friend who was almost sacrificed.

Gao Wen was quite dissatisfied with his heart. He got up and poured Melita a glass of water, handed it over and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Melita took the water cup, her eyes fell on Gao Wen, and her expression was quite complicated: "...fortunately...thank you."

Gao Wen hesitated a little: "Then do we have to continue?"

"...If it's another case, I should end this consultation business and go back and take a good rest for a few days," Melita sighed in a low voice and shook her head, "But now... I'm afraid I have to stick to it. What else is said in that travel notation?"

Then, without waiting for Gao Wen to speak, she waved her hand again: "No, you better not tell me. I want to take a look at it myself - is that OK?"

"It's okay," Gao Wen glanced at Modir's travelogue, who was lying quietly on the table, and then looked at Melita with some concern, "But are your health okay? Some of the things recorded on it may be equally... harmful to you."

Melita looked at Gao Wen with a complicated expression, "I will be on guard when I am here - and the text recorded by the mortal race does not have such powerful power. Even if there is some taboo knowledge, I have a way to filter it out."

She had something in her heart that she didn't feel embarrassed to say - even if the content in this book is harmful to health, she wouldn't be terrible to chat with you...

"Since this is your decision," Gao Wen saw that the other party was determined and did not insist. He reached out to take the travel notes and handed them to Melita after turning to the corresponding number of pages. "Start from here, the contents of the next dozen pages are all. Be careful when reading. If there are any abnormalities, you must prompt me in time."

Melita nodded and took the ancient book with a mottled cover. Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart - the Dragon Clan, such a powerful race, is so stressed because of the suspected constraints of gods and black traps. Even being accidentally mobilized to say certain words will cause serious backlash damage... When the weak races on the earth watched these powerful creatures flap their wings across the sky, who would have thought that these powerful dragons were actually flying with chains?

All of this is simply a curse...

He looked at Melita and saw that the other party had already put his eyes on the page after taking a deep breath, as if he was ready to start - Gao Wen himself was also ready to wait patiently.

Modir has written a lot about his account of the Arctic journey, which is a very long paragraph. Even if he glances at it quickly, it will take a long time. Melita needs to pay attention to protecting herself at all times. It seems that it is not a good time, maybe...

As soon as he turned his mind, he saw the lady in the agent holding the book with one hand and grabbing the page behind the book with the other hand, and flipping it in front of him. More than a dozen pages of content turned over in less than a second...

"I've finished reading it," Melita breathed a long sigh and handed "Modir's Travels" to Gao Wen. "To be honest... if you don't consider those dangerous content, this note is really wonderful."

Gao Wen was stunned: "Is this... finished reading?"

A faint light gradually faded in Melita's eyes. She noticed Gao Wen's surprise and explained casually: "It is the ability to read speed - it is very effective to deal with these dangerous text materials."

She did not explain the principle behind this in detail, because the relevant content may not be easy for humans to understand. In that short second, she actually blocked her biological vision, and instead used the optical implant in the fundus to scan the content on the page, and then gave the text to the auxiliary electronic brain. The latter checked and filtered the text. The "risk identification library" will directly black or replace the harmful text, and finally output it to her biological brain. The whole process is efficient and safe, and basically does not affect her grasp of the overall content of the travel notes.

Gao Wen did not delve into the secret behind the other party's magical "speed reading ability", but just asked curiously: "Are you anything you want to say after reading it?"

Melita thought for a while, and her expression suddenly became serious: "I want to ask first, what are you planning to deal with this travel notation?"

She even used the honorific "you" again. Obviously, she was very concerned about this issue and had risen to the level of "official affairs".

"This book is one of the achievements of the Cecil Empire's 'Cultural Knowledge Preservation' project. This project aims to collect and organize the scattered ancient knowledge, protect and repair various ancient books, so this "Travels of Modir" must be archived," Gao Wen's expression also became serious. He answered, but inadvertently erased the fact that "Travels of Modir" had been copied and archived. "As for the future... most of the knowledge in the Cial Knowledge Preservation must be open to the people, which is also the consistent basic national policy of the Cial Empire - you should also know this."

"Yes... literacy for all, knowledge popularization... a good system," Melita said with a slight sigh, but then frowned and shook her head. "However, some 'knowledge' is not real knowledge. They only guide people in the wrong direction, and even make people pursue things that go against 'reason'... Can you understand what I say?"

"You mean... the tower that lured Modir into it," said Gao Wen slowly. "Yes, I can see that Modir was lured into the tower by some kind of force, and you should have been affected at that time - and you have forgotten these things now, which makes the whole thing even more weird and dangerous."

"Yes, it's dangerous. Letting the world know that the existence of the Settler's legacy is a risk--of course, I'm not saying that anyone is absolutely forbidden to know it. After all, at least you and the craftsmen who were responsible for restoring the book have read the contents of the travel notes, but this is a different concept from being open to the whole nation. Some things... are still a little too early to be published."

Gao Wen looked into Melita's eyes: "You mean..."

"I only as a friend, I suggest that you erase the contents of this travelogue about Tallond and that giant tower... at least until we have a way to fight the pollution of that tower, do not disclose the relevant content to prevent more reckless people from taking risks," Melita said seriously, with a sincere and earnest tone. "Our god has looked at this side. I am not sure how much He knows, but since He has not "come" further, it means that He acquiesced to me to give you these advices. My friend, I do not want to interfere with you and your kingdom with any tough means, but I really do it for your own good..."

Gao Wen nodded and interrupted her without waiting for the other party to finish speaking: "I know, I agree."

This time, Melita was surprised: "Uh... you agreed very well."

"I'm not an unreasonable person, and I often deal with some weird and dangerous things," Gao Wen laughed. "I know how tricky they are, and I can understand your concerns. Don't worry, I will hide these risky things - you should believe in the execution efficiency of the Cecil Empire and my personal credibility."

Melita looked relieved: "I trust this very much."

Then she took a breath and stood up with the armrest of the chair: "As for now... I need to go back to Tallond. I must report this time the matter, and the memory I lost... I must go back and investigate it clearly."

"I understand," Gao Wen nodded, "I wish you all the best."

He watched Melita get up and walk towards the door of the study, but when the other party was about to leave, he suddenly thought of another question: "Wait a minute, I still have a question..."

Melita stopped and looked back at this side in confusion.

"About the Heritage of the Destination—I mean that giant tower,” Takamoto said as he sorted out his thoughts. "It is obviously 'polluting' for mortals. I wonder if this pollution was something it had at the beginning? Or did some factor cause it to have 'alienation' in this regard? What makes it so dangerous? Are there other Heritage of the Destination? Are they also polluted?"

This is something he cares about very much, and the biggest reason he cares about is that he is firmly bound to the "legacy of the setter"!

The satellite array in space, the Sky Station above the equator, and a series of other ancient facilities... These things are left by the sailors, so are they as polluted as the giant tower near Tallond? If so... Then Gao Wen will probably find it difficult to settle down!

After hearing Gao Wen’s question, Melita stood there quietly. After two seconds, she opened her mouth and bleeded out blood.

Blood emitting a little glow in the bright red sprinkled in the room, and the energy contained in it even caused corroded blue smoke to rise from the carpet in the study and some countertops of the desk!

Gao Wen was shocked in an instant, and the next second he rushed to Melita and held the shaking agent lady: "Are you okay?!"

"It exploded... the one with the light ring in the 68,000-10,000 limited edition exploded..." Melita looked at Gao Wen with a desperate look, and even gritted her teeth, "Why... why are your questions so dangerous today..."

Gao Wen: "…"

He didn't know how to go!

Melita struggled hard to stand up, her body shook several times before she stood up again. After a long time, she said in a very low voice: "Polition... appeared later, and only that tower has such pollution..."

Gao Wen didn't expect that the other party would insist on answering his question under such circumstances. For a moment, he was both moved and shocked, and couldn't help but take a step forward: "You..."

"Stop talking!" Melita took a step back in an instant, and her body almost fell down due to this violent movement. Then she looked at Gao Wen, and her expression on her face was so complicated that Gao Wen couldn't understand. "Sorry, this consultation service is over. I must go back and take a break... Don't talk to me anymore, don't say anything..."

Besides... it's not enough to explode.
Chapter completed!
