Sword of Daybreaker

The incubation room inevitably fell into silence again. Gawain sat in the chair with a serious expression and fell into long thoughts. The slight hum of the ventilation system seemed to be coming from far away, and the cool wind dissipated. The heat of this summer afternoon could not dispel the pressure and shadows from the truth of the world. This kind of thinking lasted for not knowing how long, he heard Enya's voice from the side:

"It is precisely because the natural laws of the world have been so cold from the beginning that seeking refuge from the gods has become the path that all mortals have to choose... But even the refuge of the gods is only part of these cold rules. ——This is where the world’s creatures are weak in front of the mighty power of nature. They can only choose to face the bleak future, or a bottle of poison for drunken lives and dreams.

"I have witnessed many splendid civilizations, and they have also moved forward on the road of searching for the truth, or faced their gods bravely. They have many great individuals who have made wise decisions and made the entire ethnic group prosperous. You can touch the sky, you can even knock on Tarrond's door, and the most outstanding ones finally know the truth.

"Unfortunately, I saw them trembling in front of the truth, some of them bowed their heads and returned to the arms of the gods again, cutting their wings, hoping to live on this planet for a long time... There is no race. Dare to knock on the door of the universe at the risk of losing shelter, none of them."

Gawain stared at the rune wandering around Enya’s eggshell: “We are the one who dominates the continent of Loren. Those civilizations that have been glorious in history leave almost no traces. The facts have proved their hope and Unrealized-the gods system is an ever-expanding time bomb that eventually swallows them like a magic wave."

"But at least they have lived longer than other races." Enya said lightly.

"But the dragons of Tarrond are unwilling to accept this kind of peace. They chose the most difficult path," Gawain said. "They took the initiative to smash the protection you provided and chose to believe in the power of mortals. And wisdom can fight against this cold universe-the weakness of the world's creatures may be a fact, but now there is a race that dared to raise its head after all."

Enya was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a chuckle: "The starship that has witnessed the sailors cut through the sky, the light of the transition engine illuminates the night, and has witnessed the huge expedition ship sailing to the universe, the emigration mothership After the cast shadow covers the scene of a small half of the continent, who would like to live on a small dust in the universe forever with his head down? Perhaps since the day the sailor descended on this planet, the destiny of the dragon family has been changed. ...Although they did not take us away, they did show us a way...a way to survive among the stars.

"Dragons are a race that refuses to admit defeat. As their once gods, I know this very well-since the day the sailor left, the dragon's head has never been lowered."

Gawain sighed in his heart: No matter where the sailors are now, no matter whether their long expedition has reached the goal, their journey in this space of stars has indeed changed so many things, what they show Perhaps the most precious “heritage” given to this world is not the advanced satellites and space stations, nor the “unbinding” of the indigenous civilizations of this planet in the ancient times, but a possibility, a kind of seemingly impossible. The possibility of going forward in the darkness of the way out.

"I want to know, what is the principle of your divine power to protect Talrond from the magic tide?" He suddenly asked, "Although we don't plan to choose the path of'protection of the gods', I believe in one thing. Things, since gods are also part of the natural laws of this world, the “miracle” and “protection” related to them must be regular and followable. As long as this law can be recognized and resolved, then we must have a way to safely Master it."

"This is indeed what you would say," Enya's tone seemed to carry a smile, but the smile soon turned into a sigh, "Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to this question."

"You don't know?" Gao Wen's eyes widened immediately. "You have protected the Dragon Race with your own power for more than one million years, but you don't know how you did it?"

"I know a lot of things, but this is the only area that I can't explore-because gods can't analyze the thoughts themselves," Enya said regretfully, "I also tried to find out that I can protect the dragon race's cognitive system in the demons. 'Principle, in the hope that if one day I die, this technical data can also allow them to create a new defense system, but in several demonic waves, I found that this process exceeded my...'observation'. I don't I know how to explain this kind of thing to you, because I have a different "perspective" and "self-marginal" from mortals. If I have to give an example...It's like people can't see behind them without using tools. thing."

Gawain listened carefully to Enya's explanation, and then he frowned and thought for a moment before breaking the silence: "In fact, we still have a clue... God cannot analyze the thought itself, which shows that the key factor in protecting the observer in the demonic tide is correct. Is it a trend of thought?"

"I think it can be guessed like that," Enya said in agreement, "this is also my idea-it's a pity that I can't verify it myself."

"Then this happens to be the direction we are studying now," Gao Wen breathed out his chest, his brows stretched slightly, "controllable thoughts, mental protection based on thoughts, shielding technology against divinity, mental calibration... Maybe, Are we on the right path?"

The voice in the golden dome did not answer for a while, but the runes on the surface of the pale golden eggshell became slightly lighter. Only a few seconds later, Enya slowly said with a tone of relief and caution: "Perhaps... after so many years, this cold world finally decided to show so little kindness to the world's creatures."

"Compared with the goodwill shown by the world, I am more willing to believe that any chance of survival depends on mortals to fight for it," Gawain smiled and shook his head, "but I still hope that what you said is right and I will repay you for the future. Optimism and anticipation."

Enya smiled lightly, and then asked, "What else do you want to know?"

Gao Wen thought about it carefully, confirming whether there are any missing points in his question, and at the same time sorting out the information he has obtained. After sorting it out, he thinks he has gained enough today, but he is preparing. Before he got up and thanked him, a question he had never thought of before suddenly appeared in his heart and stopped his actions.

"There is a problem," he straightened up, his eyebrows frowned again, "About the Principality of the Holy Dragon...Talrond only survived the magic tide by relying on a large shield and your protection, but the Holy Dragon What about the Principality? They are out of your sight and protected by the Tarrond shield. How are they..."

Enya's voice was silent for a moment, and then it spread into Gao Wen's ears in a low voice: "Do you think that the current ‘Holy Dragon Principality’ is the first Holy Dragon Principality?"

Gao Wen: "..."

"Gavin, my friend, seeking a way to survive in this world has never been a warm-hearted fairy tale, nor is it a knight game that can usher in the light with the help of heroes," a deep and soft voice came from the golden dome. Voice, "Although I know you know this very well, many times, we still have to remind ourselves all the time."

Gawain did not speak, but unconsciously tapped on the armrest of the seat slowly, his face became a little stern and solemn, and Enya's voice sounded again after a while, and it came into his ears: "We have talked a lot today. At the end, I have some small suggestions."

Gao Wen raised his eyes and looked at Enya's direction: "Suggestion?"

"Although this planet is just a grain of dust in the universe, even on this grain of dust, today's mortals still have many areas that have not been explored. You have now made great progress in the field of voyage, and there are The siren who can be regarded as an ally helps...So if you have enough energy, let's explore those distant and unfamiliar continents. In the past civilization changes, there have been intelligent creatures rising on other continents, although they have disappeared, But perhaps there are still some useful traces of civilization, and some continents can still find the heritage left by the sailors, and there may be precious secrets buried there.

"In the age of mythology, both the dragons and I were limited by the ‘two-way shackles’. We couldn’t explore those things that were too far away from Tarrond or had a deep connection with the sailor... But now, the shackles are removed.”

Gao Wen did not expect that the other party’s suggestion was such a specific and clear direction. His expression became solemn, and he nodded very seriously: "Thank you very much for your suggestion-rest assured, I understand the value of ocean exploration. In fact The exploration of other continents and far sea areas has long been in my future plan. This will be one of the goals of the alliance in the next phase."

"That's fine," Enya's voice was relieved, and a smile appeared again in her tone, "then any other questions?"

Gao Wen thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head slowly: "Not for the time being-I have gained enough information today, and these things will be enough for me and the scholars to digest for a while. Of course, if I think about anything later, it will definitely be I will come to you to ask."

"Welcome at any time, of course, provided that I can answer those questions," Enya chuckled slightly. She saw that Gawain had gotten up, and suddenly said, "Don't leave, talk about things for so long, do you want to drink? thing?"

Gao Wen was taken aback, and then he couldn't help showing a pleasant smile on his face. He looked at a long table behind Enya, with a tone of expectation: "You succeeded?"

"It's not certain. After all, the'reflection' as a miracle of the gods cannot be reproduced. I can only try to formulate a kind of'mortal drink' that can be mixed with secular materials based on your description," Enya said. , While the invisible magic power was working, a cylindrical container and a porcelain water cup floated behind her. The container made a slight sound during the floating process. It was obviously full of liquid, and perhaps ice cubes. "It's probably still a far cry from the taste in your memory, but I hope it's at least palatable and can relieve your fatigue and stress."

"I'm already looking forward to it," Gao Wen couldn't help but smile. He watched the container being pulled by invisible force in mid-air, pouring some dark brown liquid into the porcelain cup, and the sound of bubbles bursting from it. Come, "By the way, has anyone tasted it now?"

"No, after all, this is specially made for you," Enya said while delivering the cup to Gawain, "I tried a little bit myself, but my taste now seems different from ordinary people... even It’s still a question of taste."

While talking, Gawain had already taken the cup. He glanced down at the dark brown liquid that was shaking in the cup. Enya's words made him hesitate, but after confirming that there was no strange smell in the liquid, he stopped. He picked up the cup and poured it in a big mouthful.

An indescribable and extremely choking ——Gawain felt that even a little "unexplainable" smell rushed up in an instant. During the period, it was mixed with a biting chill and a huge amount of compressed gas. It is not clear how much stimulation. A fierce impact on his senses, the legendary powerhouse's willpower only lasted less than two seconds in front of this force.

"puff--"

In all fairness, it is not polite to spray a lady at close range, especially if this lady is strictly speaking a goddess (although her form is now an egg)-but Gawain really couldn't hold back it.

The dark brown liquid flowed down Enya's eggshell, and the atmosphere in the hatching room became a bit awkward. Gawain was holding most of the "unexplainable mixed special drink" in his hand, looking at the scene in front of him stiffly. Then he suffocated: "Uh, sorry...I didn't mean it..."

"It seems that my first attempt was unsuccessful," Enya's voice came from the eggshell, still very calm and serious, "I need to adjust the ratio of various materials... Do you have any suggestions? Based on the taste you just tasted."

"...I feel like I have lost my memories," Gawain's mouth trembled. "Anyway, my only advice is that you never try this thing for others. They don't necessarily have legendary physique."

"Well, I fully understand it, it seems that the level of failure is a bit serious-it is necessary to make more thorough improvements," Enya's voice is still serious, "Sorry, how are you?"

"Fortunately, at least I didn't swallow it just now," Gawain said dumbfounded. He felt that he should comfort Enya who had failed the "experiment" at this time, but he swallowed it back when he said the words, this goddess's. The voice did not sound frustrated at all, but seemed to be filled with a certain fighting spirit, which made him feel that not comforting at this time may be a good thing-and than comforting, Enya now obviously needs to wipe, "I still Wipe it for you first..."

"Just let Betty wipe it off as soon as possible, it's almost time for her to help me wipe the eggshells," Enya was quite discerning, "Compared to me, do you need to change clothes? "

Gawain looked down at his chest, only to realize that his clothes were also wet, and he sighed in tears and laughter: "Well, I didn't expect this deep talk to end in this way...in a sense It really relieved me a lot of pressure. Then I will take a step first."

"Walk slowly, forgive me for not being able to send it far, and please look forward to my next finished product-I just had an improvement plan, this time I am confident.

Gao Wen: "..."
