Chapter 136: The Coming of Silence (3): Dragon Egg (Part 1)
"Not necessarily, he is much stronger than you. In terms of fighting alone, you are not as good as him in terms of size, strength or skills. And he can kill the 'Crazy Body' with his bare hands without using any magic power.
Proud body - 'Silent Werewolf'. In fact, strong men with firm beliefs are the most attractive. If we are really captured on the battlefield, I will really be reluctant to kill him." Melina said in a tone of voice.
With a hint of adoring smile.
"Have you fallen in love with him? A human? Do you really hope that there will be a few more semi-lost people in our castle? My Miss Merlinal." Dylan softened his tone and spoke.
He looked at the thin Melinaer lovingly.
Then, he took off the hands that were attached to Melina's cheeks. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still made no further move. Instead, he took two steps forward, turned his back to her and sighed.
.
"I did send him an invitation to join the Church of Hope (121), but he refused. For ordinary imperial soldiers from small towns or villages, becoming a lost person is a way to jump in status, and they are happy to do so.
Do things for us. But I think that the empire's moral education for soldiers is very successful. Even in the wasteland world, most of them can firmly establish their identity and ideals. I have been thinking about a question these days, Dylan.
"
Melina turned around and said, she looked at Dylan's cloak-covered back affectionately and with some doubt, without moving her body at all.
"Tell me about it." Dylan did not turn around, letting the breeze blow his cloak, causing the part trailing on the ground to lift slightly, allowing him to have a brief and intimate contact with the fallen leaves.
"If the Lost can easily become humans, how long can the three major churches exist? We do not have the sufficient resources and mature education system of the Empire, nor do we have the steam machinery to bring a new and beautiful life to the Lost.
.The Lord we believe in is an illusory existence, and many people cannot get a glimpse of those sequential gods for the entirety of their lives.”
"It will disintegrate in an instant." Dylan gave a clear answer:
"The world has become what it is now because of the Wuxin virus, or 'some mysterious and extraordinary power'. Originally, at the end of the Steam Age, we were almost able to completely enter the electric age and enter a new era of technological prosperity, but the Wuxin virus made us
The whole world went backwards.
If there really is a potion that can reverse the identity of the lost, I'm afraid this era will come to an end."
Melina heard the pain and confusion in Dylan's slightly trembling voice.
She was silent for a while, then moved her lips and said:
"Actually, the reader, the [Transformer] Kayas once studied two potions named 'Conversion Z-99' and 'Enhancement-C01'. One is to try to reverse the transformation, and the other is to force it.
Break through the shackles of Order 5. Among the taboos set by the Creator, the promotion from Order 5 to Order 4 is the first step to break through nature. Order 4 cannot be obtained naturally, but only after it is truly reached can one officially embark on the journey to touch the world.
A god, the way to become a god.”
"By the way, I heard about Kayas when I was in Chekavsk. He was killed by a young man from the Sokra Guards. If I guessed correctly, he was the [Order] in your mouth, named
Laite Sugra. Also, it seems...it seems that Aaron, who semi-betrayed the church, is also brooding about Kayas's death and is also investigating Laite." Dylan exchanged a relatively important piece of information.
"By the way, what is our Pope's attitude towards this [Order]? You came back a few days before me, so you should have reported this discovery to the superiors, right." Dylan thought for a few seconds and added in a sharp tone.
"He... really hopes to meet that young man. After all, [Orders] are rare existences and difficult existences. They generally do not have any special abilities before being promoted to Order 3: Battle. I think this is why he has been waiting for
The reason is in the human world. In fact, I can smell a bloody smell from him. It is very strong and is the exclusive smell of high-level lost people." Melinaer replied.
Standing behind Dylan, she subconsciously took two deep breaths through her nose, tasting the smell in the air.
"The smell of blood? High-level Lost Ones? Is this your new discovery, or have I lived too little among humans to be able to distinguish our unique smell?" Dylan turned around and lowered his head, close to Melina's body.
, sucking hard the breath that belongs to the lost person on her body.
After taking a few deep breaths, Dylan did not feel the so-called "bloody smell". Instead, he felt the fragrance of expensive perfume, and a faint smell of high-sugar fruits.
Immediately afterwards, he made an intoxicated expression, curled up the corners of his mouth and said:
"I can't smell the smell of blood on your body. Instead, it smells like a woman. Miss Melinal, you are still so beautiful, so charming, and so charming. From this point of view, you are not a high-ranking person."
Those who have lost their level."
"Haha." Melinaer chuckled:
"High-level lost person is a new term that is not recognized by any church or the human world. It is semi-original on my part. One thing I must admit is that I am not a high-level lost person. The so-called 'high level',
In addition to the higher level of the order, there is another point, either it is recognized by the gods, or there is power left by the gods in the body."
"The existence of gods...the power left by gods?" Dylan held his chin in one hand and thought.
"Red power, a red power. I saw him use it when he touched the dark magic source to escape from Donusk. Maybe the smell of blood came from this. There are many things in that young man's body that we can't understand.
, an unfathomable power. So I don’t want to be an enemy of him, understand? Dylan." Melina's voice suddenly became serious.
"But the person I want to kill is Brett. Does it mean that just because you are with Brett, you think that [Order] will definitely become my enemy for the revenge of his companions?" Dylan half-smiled.
argued.
"You still didn't understand what I said. It seems that what I just said is like playing piano music to a pig. I repeat, imperial soldiers generally have a strong sense of morality, and they receive even better moral education than us.
many.
You will see those independent teams, explorers, ruins hunters, and even the adventurer teams from the Crusad Federation going south to rob, release, kidnap, and even kill indiscriminately out of anger, but these things, you don't know.
Have you ever heard of this from a member of the regular Imperial Legion?" Melinaer asked in a stern tone.
"But……"
"There is no but." Melina retorted without hesitation.
Then, she stretched out her index finger and placed it on Dylan's lips, shaking her head slightly to signal him not to do anything stupid.
"For us now, the [Order], the high-level Lost Ones, and even the war in the Silent Highlands are not the main thing. The most important thing is the god, the one named 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element', who is said to be led by Kru
Gods created by the Sturdy Empire themselves. The Socra Committee has agreed to cooperate with us. Tens of thousands of people in Socra will arrive at the edge of the highlands at the last moment and will not completely go into war.
Now as long as we can get some vital information from the dragon eggs, they will definitely help us open the way into the realm of gods. Gods are more attractive and worth pursuing for us lost people, aren't they?"
"Logically speaking, yes," Dylan nodded and said:
"But I heard that the Imperial Crown Prince Yin Fante is also interested in the 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element'. He has recently interpreted a lot of scientific documents left by the Crusted Empire, and he has also developed a lot of them. He is very interested in the gods.
Although his attitude is very ambiguous, the mechanical heart that can provide power for the city for thousands of years must be his goal."
"So, this is also the point. I think, Dylan, you have finally made some progress. If your wisdom and ability to analyze things are not improved, you will always be at the 'pain' level and stop making progress.
.Our lives are limited, but the exploration of wisdom and mystery is always infinite." Melinaer said with her head held high.
"It is actually a very stupid thing to pursue infinite wisdom with a limited life. But reality is driving us to do it, isn't it? My...Miss Melinare."
Dylan suddenly looked at Melinaer with a loving look on his face.
Melina did not escape, but stared directly into Dylan's eyes.
As their eyes met, both of them felt the blood in their bodies boiling, and the magic source power being triggered and surging uncontrollably.
Dylan, who was slightly taller, even felt his heart become hot, as if a steam engine suddenly increased its power, beating violently.
After two or three seconds, Melina suddenly turned her gaze aside, sighed, and said:
"You know, Dylan. I will often gain wisdom and draw magic power through meditation, hoping to advance to a higher level. But during the meditation, I will inadvertently get in touch with other universes."
"So what? This doesn't stop us from... missing each other." Dylan muttered unhappily.
"When I came into contact with a certain universe, I heard a word called 'psychedelic love'. It focuses on the conceptual love between two people. They don't have frequent contact, but try their best to
Think about each other with the best concepts. Such lovers are perfect and are not affected by any external factors.
In the world created by the Creator, we are all ordinary people. Once He wakes up, we will all disappear or fall into eternal darkness. Therefore, we need to reserve some room for fantasy for each other. Through imagination, we can
Become great, become less ordinary, become the most perfect object.”
"You're right." Dylan shrugged and agreed.
"Then can we go to the 'warning room' now? Let's go take a look at that...dragon egg." Dylan pretended not to care and asked expressionlessly.
"I think you should take your horse to the stable first and let the children take good care of it. Horses in this era are not good means of transportation. I suggest you get a 'Derui Motorcycle', which can help
It would be better for you to travel through the yellow sand and desert." Melinaer suggested with a professional smile.
…
After giving the horse to the two lost boys in leather jackets who specialized in animals in the castle, Dylan followed Melinare, who held up the black parasol again, and walked through several areas in the front of the castle.
They first passed through the crescent-shaped "Feiyue District" in the overall layout.
There is a fountain that occupies a small area, as well as a circle of open purple flowers planted around it, and unknown trees that exude a refreshing fragrance.
When Dylan was about to leave the "Scarlet Moon District", he deliberately looked back at the sculpture in the center of the fountain.
The strong knight is raising his sword and pointing it at the sky, as if he is going to use his body to fight against the powerful gods deep in the universe.
The sculptures symbolizing strength and battle seem to have existed when the castle was first built.
"I remember that everything here seemed very crude a few years ago, but I didn't expect that there would be so many interesting buildings in just a few years," Dylan said with emotion.
"Actually, compared with the lowest level city in the human world, which is full of steam machinery, it is still a lot simpler. Let's go, the 'Main Palace' is in the next area. Most of the people are not in the castle or residential area now. 'The main palace'
The palace is not open for the time being, we can just enter the auxiliary tower directly." Melinaer urged.
After walking for almost half an hour, Dylan and Melinaer finally saw the white and majestic "Main Palace" in the "Main God Area".
According to the predetermined plan, the two deliberately took a detour and found a mottled metal staircase in a semi-hidden corner behind the palace.
As he walked up the stairs built inside the circular "auxiliary tower" that made "dongdong" and "squeak" sounds as he passed by, Dylan always felt a sense of crisis arising spontaneously.
It seemed that the stairs were too old. Not only were they constantly shaking when climbing, but they were also covered with rust and other mottled marks. There were also several places that were broken straight down the middle, so he had to be careful when taking any step.
After spending what seemed like a century of hard "crawling" time, the two finally arrived at the "warning room" that Melinaer called.
"I didn't expect that the 'auxiliary tower'... only has this one room, and inside... there are stairs that are about to be scrapped." Dylan panted heavily and couldn't help complaining.
While standing against the door for a few seconds to recover his strength, Dylan looked around at the overall layout of the room.
This "warning room" is extremely bright, and the average lost person should not be able to stand here for more than half an hour.
Except for the wall near the door, most of the walls have been replaced by a layer of bright floor-to-ceiling glass, allowing sunlight to shine in unbridled.
However, only masonry walls similar to those of the "Main Palace" can be observed from the outside, which should be the effect of some kind of magic power related to disguise.
Moreover, at equal intervals in the middle of the glass wall stands a white stone pillar wrapped in various strange patterns, which should play a role in supporting the top.
Turning his vision to the ground, Dylan saw that the white, porcelain-like floor tiles were covered with many classical-style golden patterns. The edges of each floor tile were also surrounded by black stones, giving the room an overall look.
Whiteness is the main theme, and the "holy" look is set off by pitch black.
