Chapter 949 Dragon, Priest

The Supreme Speaker of the Review Group, Andal.

It is said that this old man is one of the oldest giant dragons in Tallond. He is an "Ancient Dragon" that has survived to this day since the ancient tide rebellion.

Long before he arrived in Tallond, Govin had already made up a lot of knowledge about this country from Melita, which naturally included a brief introduction to the top members of Tallond, so he was no stranger to the name "Andar". And he also knew one thing - this "Ancient Dragon" who seemed to be an octogenarian rarely left the deep hall of the review team on weekdays, and even in the last thousand years, the old man left the hall at a very few times.

It seems that because of his extreme aging, he would rest in his "monarch" in the form of a dragon, and he took the initiative to greet him like today, and even changed into a human form specifically, which is enough to show the attitude of the speaker.

After realizing that this was a courtesy, Gao Wen immediately took out the solemnity that matched it: "It is an honor to meet you, Lord Speaker. On the way here, I have seen it-Tallond is an incredible country, and I believe this trip to Tallond will definitely leave a deep impression on me."

Speaker Andal smiled gently, and at the same time he turned sideways and made an invitation. After Gao Wen followed, the old man smiled and said, "We have not formally invited aliens to come here for many, many years. In addition to the 'wanderers' who occasionally come to this land by accident, the last official visitor in my memory was still many thousand years ago. At that time, the ruler of the Loren continent was still a creature with three pairs of limbs..."

"Last season of civilization," Gao Wen looked at the speaker and smiled, "That seems to be something that happened a long time ago."

"Yes, for a long time... we have been paying attention to the world outside Tallond, but we almost never bring people or things from outside here," Speaker Andal nodded. "I hope you are quite satisfied with the welcoming ceremony we arranged - based on the customs of the dragon clan, we have taken into account human habits as much as possible, but after all, there is a big difference between us. If there is anything that makes you uncomfortable and uncomfortable, please raise it."

"It's already very thoughtful," Gao Wen said immediately, "but now I'm more concerned about the next itinerary - from Melita, I haven't heard of the detailed itinerary."

Speaker Andal led the guests away from the take-off and landing platform, and Melita, who had turned into a human form, followed closely. They passed through the long bridge connecting the platform and the main building of the palace, and walked towards the inner courtyard of the headquarters of the review group. In this extremely wide and magnificent Dragon Clan Hall everywhere, Gao Wen felt that his voice echoed like a valley.

"Sorry, it is indeed a shameful thing to not tell you that the detailed itinerary is indeed a shame, but this is because our gods have not issued a detailed will before," Speaker Andal walked beside Gowen, and the old man's voice echoed in the magnificent corridor filled with gorgeous sculptures everywhere. "The god... He is unpredictable, and His arrangements often have deep meanings. On the other hand, when He has not made arrangements, he also has deep meanings."

"So has He made arrangements now?" Gao Wen glanced at the speaker beside him. Although he had no offense, he was unable to develop awe and worship like the dragon clans. So he chose to talk with this most common attitude - after all, he was standing here today because the god took the initiative to invite him. "To be honest, my main purpose here is not to visit exotic styles. I came here for the appointment, so I care more about when I can see your...'Dragon God'."

"Of course," Andal nodded, "When you enter the sky above Agungor, the sanctuary has issued a clear decree - after the banquet you are welcomed, you can meet. We have prepared the sanctuary of Agungor, and then the high-ranking dragon priest, Lord Hragor, will personally serve as the guide and accompanying the meeting."

The high-level dragon priest... The corresponding information obtained from Melita quickly emerged in Gaowen's mind:

Hragor, the highest spokesperson for the "theocracy" part of Tarlong's society, was a powerful divine envoy who served the gods for many years, and also a "ancient dragon" who has survived since ancient times like Speaker Andal. However, it is said that the divine envoy was blessed from the gods and had "a more perfect eternal life than the Supreme Speaker", so he always maintained a younger appearance.

No dragon knows Heragor's true age, nor does anyone know when Heragor became a divine envoy serving the gods. According to Melita's description, in the memories of almost all dragon tribes, the Heragor has been a saint standing beside the gods since the beginning.

Gao Wen restrained his memories and said with a smile: "Then I am quite looking forward to this meeting - and before that, I am also looking forward to how Tallrond will have a different food from the human world."

...

The top of the temple, the place where the gods live, the holy breath has arrived here.

"My Lord," Hragor immediately saluted respectfully at the figure that appeared in front of the Holy See, "You are back."

"Well," the blonde figure standing in front of the Holy See responded briefly to a syllable, and then cast a downward look, "Heragor, are they all here?"

Hragor hung his head. Although he was curious about where the goddess he served suddenly left for a short period of time, he carefully controlled his curiosity and desire to explore: "Yes, they have arrived as scheduled. As you told me, I conveyed the order to the review team, and after the welcoming banquet there, an audience will be arranged."

"It's not an audience, it's a meeting, Hragore," the voice from the Holy See corrected immediately, "that's the guest I invited."

“…as you said.”

The Dragon God nodded, then asked casually: "Tell me what you know - what did the guests react after seeing the real Tallond?"

"Surprise, surprise, astonishment--no doubt everything in Tallond was enough to shock the outsiders," said Hragor, "but...their reaction was indeed not only that.

"The reactions of the two human women were normal. They showed the astonishment of ordinary people at the advanced and prosperous period of Tallond, and they also showed normal curiosity about things that were never seen in the outside world. But the human emperor you invited, the male human named Gowen Cecil...he seemed a little strange in his reaction."

"Freaky?" Dragon God raised his eyebrows, "Hragor, you rarely use such ambiguous words."

"It's really weird, my lord," Hragor carefully said the "abnormal" details he found after observing secretly. "Although the man showed surprise after seeing Tallond, his surprise was far lower than I expected. When he saw those unusual things, he also thought more than he was stunned - yes, thinking, he seemed to have been thinking and frequently showed undetectable confusion. This gave me a feeling... Tallond did not seem to have brought the shock that human beings expected. He was not confused about everything he saw, as if he had seen similar scenes, and the surprise he showed... was just because he did not expect these things to appear here."

Speaking of this, Hragore considered it for a moment before hesitating: "This gives me a feeling that the human being seems to have been observing and judging us with a cold and arrogant attitude, which is obviously abnormal, my Lord."

The voice in front of the Holy See was silent for a few seconds before Hragore heard the voice of the gods slowly: "...it seems very interesting."

"My Lord," Hragor raised his head with a hint of curiosity, "Why did you ask me to focus on these things? What reaction did that human king show after seeing Tarlond...Is this important?"

"I'm just curious," the god seemed to be in a good mood, and there seemed to be a smile in his tone, "Haragor? That human... He did a lot of things in his mortal kingdom. The dragon who was traveling outside brought back a lot of interesting intelligence, about systems, about knowledge, about... way of thinking. On the surface, the human being was just unifying and silently promoting all these changes, but his actions themselves have exceeded the knowledge and way of thinking he should have... It was impossible for him to naturally occur in the environment in which he lived, at least not in his generation. Heragore, don't you think this is very interesting?"

Hragor felt his breathing faster, but he said nothing.

He only heard the voice of the gods continuing slowly:

"Gowen Cecil... the mortal hero of the 'resurrection' looks like an ordinary human on the surface, but it's a pity... it's not quite like it.

"Heragor, go and prepare. The banquet in the lower hall will not last long--just as I really want to see him, I believe he really wants to see me now."

...

"I hope you're quite satisfied with our food and music," Melita came to Gaowen and said with a smile. "To be honest, these two things should be considered the worst at the Dragons - at least in my opinion. We are better at dealing with stones and metals, such as the art of sculpture and forging, and as for diet...Tallond's diet is very boring."

"But in my opinion, all of this is great." Gao Wen praised, and at the same time he glanced over the magnificent hall and swept over the banquet table - he should be the only human emperor in the civilization this season to eat in Tallond. This banquet naturally also reflects the dragon's sincerity in hospitality, but to be honest, the dragon's food is indeed not as rich and colorful as he imagined. The staple food at the banquet is basically all kinds of meat, and the side dishes are mainly fish, and the grains and vegetables are only embellished, and they are not even used as food. From this, you can see the dragon's daily dietary habits, but as Melita said... it is a bit boring.

However, for Gao Wen, a newcomer, some unique flavors between these foods can make up for the boring shortcomings.

"To be honest... I've been troubled by strange problems before," he said suddenly, "It's about your diet - the difference between your dragon's body and human body is so big, so when you eat, do you use the dragon's body as the standard or the human body as the standard? This question may be a bit rude, but... these foods should not be enough for dragons with a body length of dozens of meters."

"...You are really worthy of being you. You can always pay attention to details that ordinary people would not think about at all," Melita was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, "But you are really right - these foods are not enough for the dragon.

"Of course we have to take energy from the standards of dragons, but in the form of dragons, we don't have to pay so much attention to food - the taste and oral perception of dragons are very weak, and we can't even eat the difference between raw and cooked meat in that form, so we won't entertain guests or eat with guests in the form of dragons, especially when the guests are small... You know, this will not only appear rough, but also have high risks, such as...inaccurate injuries.

"When we are in human form, we can handle and enjoy more refined food, as you can see - we choose to treat guests in human form, not only because human form looks more ‘friendly’ to most intelligent races, but also because this form helps us to enjoy delicious food."

Gao Wen had just asked this out of interest, but he didn't expect to hear such interesting details. After listening to Melita's explanation, he couldn't help but mutter: "So Long eats in two meals - one meal to taste, and one meal to fill?"

"Most of the less particular dragons actually have only a second meal - especially when convenience foods are very popular, almost all young dragons are not patient to study cooking or eat troublesome natural foods," Melita shook her head. Although she is also a young dragon, she sighed like an old dragon. "Of course, these in the banquet venue are all 'special' dragons, so we have to have another meal when we go back after we have dinner with you..."

Gao Wen: "…"

"I feel that the useless knowledge has increased!" Amber, who was walking over from the side, grabbed the chicken leg and sighed casually, which just revealed Gao Wen's thoughts.

The banquet had already ended. At this moment, Gao Wen noticed that a servant like a servant entered through the side door of the hall, quickly came to the side of the Speaker Andal and whispered something.

"It seems that 'this game' is about to end," Gao Wen turned his head and said to Melita. "I guess someone will be invited to the appointment soon."

Melita looked curiously in the direction the speaker was in, and almost at the same time, the old man turned around and walked towards this side.

"I hope our hospitality is quite considerate to you," Speaker Andal indeed came to Gowen and said, "Our god just heard the news. If you are convenient now... He hopes to meet you in the upper temple."

Gao Wen looked back and turned to look at the Speaker: "Does it also include the two friends I brought?"

Speaker Andal nodded: "Yes, including them."

"No problem, we are very convenient now." Gao Wen laughed immediately, and Amber, who was gnawing chicken legs next to him, immediately glanced at the beloved chicken legs in her hand when she heard this - she seemed to want to say that she was not that convenient, but under the vague gaze of Gao Wen, she immediately put down the chicken legs in her hand: "Convenient, convenient, very convenient..."

As for Veronica who was on standby not far away... she was obviously ready.

"That's good," Speaker Andal nodded, "So please follow me--Her Gor has been waiting outside the hall, and he will take you to the upper temple."

Following the speaker, Gao Wen, Amber, Veronica and his group quickly walked through the banquet hall. After passing through a golden gate as huge as a city gate, the music in the hall suddenly became faint. Gao Wen saw a man in a light golden robe and a golden magic crown standing in a wide and quiet corridor.

There were no entourages or guards around the man.

That is the highest spokesperson for the "theocracy" part of Tarlongd society, the high-ranking dragon priest Hragore?

While this sentence appeared in Gao Wen's mind, the man with his back to him also felt the change of breath. He immediately turned around and nodded slightly: "Girls, I'll take you to the upper temple - you can call me directly, Hragore."

Gao Wen nodded and was about to respond, but his eyes were frozen at the next moment.

His eyes fell on Hragore's face and did not move for a long time.

He remembers this face.

In the center of the eternal storm, in the center of the still space-time, he had seen this face!

This is the dragon clan who stands on the tower of steel, located in the center of the battlefield like a commander, and fights "they" with the guardian dragon clans!
