Although Tire often gave people the impression that she was not very reliable, at least this time, the advice she gave was quite reliable in Gao Wen's opinion.
Even if the "Ultimate Book" is really a relic of an ancient civilization that has long been completely lost, the group of giant dragons who rely on keeping property for others and then waiting for the client to die to make a fortune probably know its origin—maybe they can Took a good one out of the warehouse...
To be honest, Gao Wen was quite brooding about his accidental collapse of the Ultimate Book.
After returning to Cecil Palace, he immediately contacted the senior agent lady through the Mithril Ring.
Then, just as expected, the blue dragon lady appeared in front of him in less than thirty minutes—as always, she came immediately and responded quickly.
"Mithril Treasure House is very happy to serve you," Melita Pernia stood in front of Gao Wen, her face was covered by a lavender veil, and only her slightly curved eyes showed a smile, "This time you need to save Pickup, or consulting, or...still express?"
"Let's not talk about this first," Gao Wen waved his hand, and couldn't help asking a question that he wanted to ask a long time ago, "Why do you come here so fast every time—as if you've always lived near me? There's nothing historical about it now. The big event needs you to observe, don't you have anything else to do?"
Melita's professional smile seemed to stiffen for a moment, but it was just an illusion when she looked at it again. Her smile was still as warm as a spring breeze: "You are a key customer of Mithril Treasure, of course you will receive extra attention—but this time It is really a coincidence that I am near you. Please don’t worry, my work will not be delayed, and every employee of Mithril Treasury is dedicated to their duties.”
Looking at Melita's trustworthy and steady eyes, Gao Wen could only believe the other party's statement, but he couldn't help but look up and down at the other party, and asked: "I have another question—maybe it's a bit offensive, But do you only have this one dress?"
Even in this cold winter, Melita is still wearing the iconic purple gauze dress with a touch of coquettish feeling. In the past, Gao Wen didn't pay much attention to it, but today the street lamps in the city are hanging. The icicles were lifted, and almost everyone I saw was wearing winter clothes—except for Kamel and Nicholas Danzong—so when I saw the agent lady in front of me, the sense of disobedience was particularly obvious.
Melita probably didn't expect Gao Wen's questions to be so sharp today, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little bluntly: "...you should know that I am a giant dragon. My human form is just for the convenience of moving in human society, I... am not very keen on modifying my human posture."
"So that's the case," Gawain nodded, "Sorry, I asked some impolite questions."
"It's okay, just treat it as a small talk among friends, I don't care," Melita smiled and shook her head, "Then why are you looking for me today?"
"It's a consultation. We got something recently, but no one knows its origin, but I think if it is a dragon with a long history... maybe it can provide some help."
"Thank you for your trust, but I still want to remind you in advance that the Dragon Clan may know more things, but they don't know everything, and they can't tell you everything," Melita said, her eyes showing With a hint of curiosity, "So... what exactly is it?"
"A book, but it's not here, you have to come with me," Gawain stood up, motioning for Melita to follow him, "I'll tell you how we got it on the way..."
Gathering a team of followers, Gawain led Melita all the way out of the Royal Quarter, and soon came to the vicinity of the Institute of Magical Technology. On the way, he briefly introduced the origin of the Ultimate Book to the other party, and by the way, Let’s take a look at what happened near Sorin Castle—Ms. Dragon is obviously very interested in the latter. After hearing the passage of Beltera’s incarnation into the giant tree of Sorin, she couldn’t help shaking her hair and sighing: “Alas... I saw that giant tree when I was flying through the sky, it was incredible, even the dragons were amazed... but I didn't expect that tree to come like this."
"Everything will die with their own life and flesh and blood, but what remains in the wasteland is still disturbing. A group of mutant druids who can survive in the magic tide environment, I really don't know that they are brewing at this moment. What?" Gao Wen frowned and said, "With your ability, there is no way to fly over the magnificent wall to investigate the situation inside?"
Gawain wanted to use the power of the giant dragon, Melita, to explore the Gondor wasteland. After all, the wasteland was entrenched with a powerful interference energy field, and even his satellite monitoring could not see its internal situation clearly. But he also knew that he and the Mithril Treasury only had a close "friend relationship". Just casually, without much expectation.
After hearing Gawain's words, Melita thought seriously for two seconds, nodded and said, "Actually, I can fly over that barrier—it's not a problem for me to fly over the barrier at the limit flying height."
Gao Wen immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and couldn't help raising a trace of expectation: "Then..."
"But if you fly in, you will die." Melita continued.
Gao Wen: "..."
So what else is there to say! Humans can also do it—connect with the control center on the elf side, and open a temporary entrance on the barrier. Gawain and a team of infantry can walk into the barrier swaggeringly, but it doesn’t matter—he’s dead too ah…
"In fact, it may not necessarily die," Melita seemed to feel that her answer was not professional enough, and then added, "It's just that the danger is very, very high, and the chaotic magic energy environment is also very harmful to the dragons. The thunderstorm environment is the biggest threat to entering the wasteland from the air, and there are countless aberrations and energy hurricanes on the ground. According to our estimates, even young dragons who have received combat training will not be able to enter the middle of the Gondor wasteland. The 24-hour mortality rate in the region was close to 90 percent…”
Gawain thought for a while, and felt that what Melita said was the same as before—she was still dead.
"Forget it then," he waved his hand, "I just mentioned it casually, so I don't have to take it to heart."
While speaking, they had arrived at the door of the laboratory where the ultimate book was stored.
The accompanying guards and attendants took over the defense at the entrance of the laboratory, and the staff in charge of guarding the facility opened the door of the laboratory. Gawain led Melita into this tightly guarded room, and the ultimate book was still in the room. Lying quietly on the round table in the center of the room, protected by a fence and a shield.
Gao Wen pointed to the big black book on the round platform: "That's it, you..."
While speaking, he looked at Melita beside him, but the last half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.
Melita was staring at the ultimate book on the round platform. The calmness that this Miss Dragon had always maintained had disappeared at some point. She barely concealed the solemnity and vigilance in her eyes. His appearance made Gao Wen instantly realize one thing—
Melita knows the secret of the "Ultimate Book"!
"Looking at you, you probably know the origin of the Ultimate Book." Gawain quickly restrained his surprise, and called out Melita's attention again, "It seems that I really found the right person this time."
Melita woke up from the state of trance in an instant. She turned her head and stared at Gawain suddenly, her eyes were burning, and her tone was extremely serious: "You just said that this book was found in the lair of the End of Everything? Have been using this book for the past hundreds of years to develop yourself and make various plans that can affect the situation on the mainland?"
Gawain looked at Melita seriously, deliberately silent for two seconds before slowly nodding, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the origin of this book? Why are you so nervous?"
At this moment, Melita seemed to be caught in hesitation and entanglement. After half a minute of thinking and silence, she shook her head slightly: "...I don't know whether I should tell you this...but I want to tell you You, it's very dangerous, very, very dangerous to the progress of civilization, you should stay away from it as much as possible, and those cultists of death of all things... Fortunately, their thinking is twisted and their behavior is illogical, maybe that's why they can't fully play If this book is used, otherwise this continent... will be in much greater trouble!"
The agent of the Mithril Treasury was obviously already nervous and vigilant to a certain extent, so much so that she even forgot to add the professional "you" when she was talking to Gao Wen.
Gawain didn't care about the small change in Melita's title, he just reminded Miss Dragon who seemed a little too nervous: "It has been scrapped."
"No matter what, you'd better not continue to contact..." Melita said subconsciously, but she realized it halfway through, "Huh? You said it was scrapped?"
"Yes, although I don't know the reason, it is completely unusable," Gao Wen said without changing his expression, "If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."
As he spoke, he lifted the safety barrier of the experimental platform. After the steel railings and energy shields were closed, he reached for the big black book, but before handing it to Melita, his movements stopped suddenly. Down: "Let me just make sure—you didn't destroy the book as soon as you got it, did you?"
Judging from Melita's nervous and vigilant reaction, Gao Wen was really worried about this.
"I swear by the glory of the dragon and my name," Melita said solemnly immediately, "I won't do this kind of thing on my own—I just want to check its status."
Gao Wen decided to trust the other party.
On the one hand, it was because Melita’s oath sounded serious, and on the other hand, Miss Dragon did not seem to be such a reckless person. Of course, the more important reason was her confidence in her own strength—to be It is not so easy for a legendary powerhouse to destroy an ancient artifact before he reacts, even if the dragon makes a move.
Melita got the big black book, her breathing quickened slightly, her expression was serious and tense, as if she was holding a half-ton aerial bomb in her hand—and the aerial bomb had been disarmed.
She opened the book, and all she saw was a reminder message indicating that the connection was disconnected, and red warning characters filled her vision.
Gao Wen felt that this feeling was probably the same as being full of 404...
"...It's really unusable," Melita finally breathed a sigh of relief after flipping through it several times quickly, and said in a brisk tone, "but you made a mistake, it's not broken, at least from the physical structure Not physically broken, but... the end result is pretty much the same, it's unusable, and theoretically nobody can restore it to its previous state, unless... no, nothing."
Although Gao Wen was very curious about the content behind the other party's "unless", at this moment he was more concerned about what this ultimate book was: "Then you can tell me now, what is the origin of this book?"
Melita pondered for two seconds. Through the thin veil, Gao Wen vaguely saw that she should have bit her lip—after this obvious hesitation, the senior agent finally let out a soft breath: "You should know In ancient times, a war broke out between the Dragon Clan and a certain civilization on the Loren Continent... "
"Battle Against the Tide?" Gawain immediately responded.
"Yes, I mentioned it to you..." Melita said in a deep voice, "And I also told you that in the history of the Dragon Clan, that war was called the 'Rebellion Against the Tide'. The word 'chaotic' is used because it is far from a simple war. It is a crisis brought about by an overly reckless race that has embarked on a wrong development path, which almost wiped out the entire world. What you found This book… "
Melita lightly raised the big black book in her hand, and shook it in the air.
"It was created by the Reverse Tide Empire."
Gao Wen's eyes widened.
This ancient secret that has made him curious for a long time, and which is suspected to have a certain relationship with the black trap, is actually used in this way to unveil a veil at this moment!
"Can I ask one more question?" He looked into Melita's eyes, "Why do you say that this book is very dangerous—what is the purpose of making this book by the Empire Against Tide?"
"Stealing knowledge," Melita said calmly, "stealing knowledge beyond their control, and this knowledge beyond their control will eventually almost destroy the future of the entire world."
Steal knowledge! !
This simple word flashed through Gawain's mind like lightning, causing a storm in his heart.
If it was someone else, he probably wouldn't think of anything from the simple word Melita, but he did know what the data source linked to the Ultimate Book was—
It's an array of satellites in space!
(Push a new book, Fantasy Classification, "Uncover the Coffin and Drive", yes, someone must have found out, this author's previous book is gone... But this book should be very stable, no problem, and the idea is also good, it is worth it one look.
