A simple and straightforward name indeed.
But many of Cecil's things are so simple and straightforward—and behind these simplicity and straightforwardness, they are either convenient and practical, or powerful.
Maggie is now a little fond of this unique "Cecile style".
"You can transform now," Rebecca retreated to a safe distance, and said to Maggie with a smile. Where to use~"
Maggie nodded and closed her eyes slightly.
The power originating from the bloodline began to swim in her body, the magic reshaped her flesh and blood, and began to break the boundaries of matter and elements. A curtain-like stream of light enveloped the body of the dragonborn, and then the curtain expanded rapidly , almost in the blink of an eye, it expanded to a range of more than ten meters, and as the curtain shook, the faintly huge dragon wings flashed past.
After the light dissipated, Maggie appeared in front of everyone in the form of a black dragon.
Even though she has seen it more than once, Rebecca and her technical team will still be amazed by this incredible change. The power and mystery of the dragon fascinates these technical workers, and these researchers in white robes cannot help but Everyone moved closer to each other, once again lamenting the power of the "dragon" in unison—
"How did this come about?" "Such a huge body structure is filled with magic power?" "The extra weight is a mystery..." "Where are the personal belongings in the human form..."
— There is no doubt that the exclamation of the researchers about the dragon must of course be professional.
Maggie shook her head from side to side, and listened helplessly to the discussions coming from around her—after getting acquainted with each other, these guys simply didn't lower their voices when discussing similar issues.
Recalling that not long ago, she would still be embarrassed by these discussions, and even have a little mind, but after such a long time of contact, she has already realized that the guys around Rebecca are actually just too focused on research. That's all, no offense to themselves, they just don't have a high EQ - so one of them counts as one of them is single.
May these overly curious guys stay single.
Maggie murmured in her heart, her huge head covered with hard horny horns hung down towards Rebecca: "How should I wear this set?"
"You stand on the platform over there—see those red color blocks? Those are the positioning points for your limbs," Rebecca stretched out her hand and pointed not far away, "just spread your wings, and the rest Leave it to us."
Maggie came to the platform according to Rebecca's instructions. After standing firmly, she collected herself, and then slowly opened her pair of wings that were born disabled due to genetic defects.
She suddenly became a little nervous, feeling her heart beating in her chest, and she could even hear her heartbeat in her ears.
The sound of chains and slide rails moving was accompanied by the sound of heartbeats, and the sound of metal collision and friction was also heard. The surrounding magicians and mechanics were constantly controlling the suspension machines around them. The pair of cold and imposing black The steel wings came closer, and with a cold touch, they stuck to Maggie's wings.
Mechanics bachelors had already stood on the hanging beam in mid-air. As soon as the steel wings were in place, they immediately drove the hanging beam forward, and began to use various tools to fit the locks and fixing frames on the huge set of equipment. In place, lock one by one.
The sound of metal impact and chain shaking sounded, Maggie's mood slowly calmed down, and she suddenly felt like a knight who was about to step on the battlefield—these respectable technicians were armed with advanced machinery A dragon, and for a dragon, this is her new armor.
"Hey~~ Maggie~~ This set of things is a bit heavy! So we had to use a lot of fixing brackets to ensure that they can be fixed on you, mainly focusing on the root of the wings and the back and belly~~" Rebecca stood under the platform , raised his head and said loudly, "Is there any discomfort??"
"It's easy," Maggie said in a deep voice, lowering her head slightly. "For a dragon, its burden is probably not much different from that of you humans wearing a suit of thin leather armor. And I even have a suggestion—you can find it in my Holes are drilled on some special bone pieces and scales on the shoulder blades and the upper edges of the wings, and they are directly fixed with bolts, so the effect should be better.”
Rebecca continued to yell, "OMG - you said terrible things!!"
"But it doesn't hurt at all. We have a lot of horny structures and exoskeleton structures that don't feel like human nails."
Rebecca's excited voice came from below: "Okay! I will think about it next time!!"
"The wing suit is fixed!" A mechanic maester standing on the podium shouted loudly, interrupting the conversation between Rebecca and Maggie, "Start connecting the carapace, breastplate, and accessory armor!"
More slide rails and bearings began to rotate, and the black steel armor specially tailored for Maggie began to be assembled piece by piece on the latter, the plastron used to support the defensive shield, the carapace used to carry the spare energy group And the armor under the neck carrying a large number of testing instruments was installed one by one.
Maggie watched these dazzling devices being hung on her body one by one, some of which she could see the use of, some of which she could only guess at, and some... She couldn't even guess what they were for. When a device with sharp corners gradually approached her jaw, she finally couldn't help asking: "Rebecca, what is this thing installed on the jaw for? Why can't I see it has any symbols?" Text structure?"
Rebecca looked up and scratched her hair: "Actually, I don't know...that was specially added by the ancestors after seeing my design, saying it was a symbol of the black dragon..."
"Does the black dragon have such a symbol..." Maggie muttered in confusion, and while she muttered, the black armor made of steel had been installed on her lower jaw.
It might look like a weird visor, or it might be an iron jaw—Maggie murmured to herself.
Then she put aside her doubts: Since it was His Majesty Gawain's arrangement, there must be some intentions. The wisdom and vision of that legendary hero are beyond ordinary people's imagination. Just do His will.
As for now... she's ready to go.
"All the locks are in place, and the steel wings are mounted!" The mechanical bachelor on the high platform shouted loudly, "It's time to test the flight!!"
Maggie raised her head, feeling her heart beating faster again.
With an excited look on her face, Rebecca turned around and shouted, "Open the door!!"
The magic mechanism drives the heavy gears and levers. There is a creaking sound from the alloy door of the shed, and the sunlight from the outside enters this special "dragon armed workshop" through the door. Maggie calms down quickly, and then Stepping forward, the heavy body is hung with steel armor, and step by step, he walks down the platform and walks towards the gate.
Facing the sun, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and the clear and high blue sky shone brightly in her sight.
"Remember the manipulation method I told you before?" Rebecca shouted loudly from the ground, "No-no-change!! Most of the functions are just to fill in the missing runes on your wings, You don’t need to be distracted to control! For the first test flight, you just need to pay attention to the balance of the output of the wings and the overall sense of weight!!”
"I will!"
"Okay then! Let's take off! Maggie!!"
A gust of wind also rolled up at the right time, blowing on the black dragon's hard scales and open wings. Feeling the touch of the airflow blowing over the body surface, Maggie directly activated the magic power capacitor set at the root of the wings with her talent for manipulating magic power.
The surging magic energy was immediately guided and injected into the steel wings. Along the edge of her original wings, a fine flow of light quickly spread on the surface of the extra metal skeleton, and the runes on the surface of each metal part lit up sequentially, and Maggie's own deformed wings resonated—
The congenitally missing dragon language runes were instantly supplemented, and a feeling of being able to control the elements and the sky that had never been experienced before came to Maggie's heart.
This feeling made her unable to help recalling the leap on Longyue Cliff many years ago—
She took two steps forward, but her body was almost unbalanced and fell due to the unprecedented lightness. The chaotic air flow circled and danced around her, and the blower couldn't open her eyes.
Rebecca's loud voice came from behind: "Maggie! Take your time! Don't-rush-rush!! Go forward step by step, and then fly!!"
The black dragon took a deep breath, adjusted the balance of his body again, and called for magic power again.
There's nothing difficult about it—dragons are meant to soar, and the ability to fly should be as easy to every dragon as eating and drinking.
Maggie took another step, spread her wings, and after a short run-up, suddenly flew into the air.
Since she was a child, she has tried this thousands of times and fell down thousands of times.
This time, she didn't fall.
The howling wind blows head-on, and then is swept backward by the invisible magic field. Maggie finally opens her eyes, but only sees the earth moving backward under her feet, and the magic power gathers around her, holding up the ground. She keeps rising to higher skies.
It's a very different experience than riding a Dragoon—or even gliding off a dragon's cliff, or flying into the air with a storm Victoria conjures.
This is the feeling of flying to the blue sky on your own wings.
Maggie suddenly wanted to cheer, which even went against her calm and composed demeanor in front of people over the years, but... Anyway, there are no outsiders here.
The deep roar of the dragon came from high above, and many frightened birds flew up from the nearby forest, and flew into one piece in the air.
Rebecca looked up at the sky, suddenly smiled and said to the people beside her, "She seems very happy!!"
…
The vast wilderness and woodland keep receding in sight, and even the clouds seem to be within reach. Maggie stretches her wings as much as she can under the influence of magic power. On the outer edge of the congenitally deformed and twisted wings, magic alloy and steel The flight aid device made of skeleton shines brightly against the sun.
Dragonborn will definitely be interested in this thing, especially those young dragonborn, especially those friends I know.
Maggie thought very firmly in her heart, and even... felt that this thing might impress those stubborn councilors and elders, and impress the majestic Grand Duke Balogar.
Perhaps the "upper dragons" of Tarrond have more power than this, and perhaps this technology of flying into the sky cannot be seen by those real dragons at all, but for deformed dragons, this can change their fate thing.
Maggie adjusted her flying posture, and while thinking about how to negotiate with the clansmen, she began to try more functions of this set of equipment, and began to try more challenging flying movements.
Suddenly, she felt a slight dissonance.
Something seemed to have come off the middle of the left wing, or it might have been rune meltdown. The sudden balance disorder caused her to tilt, and then fell rapidly down—
A thought flashed through Maggie's mind: New technologies always experience a lot of failures.
In the next second, she began to work hard to adjust her balance, trying to regain her posture.
When trying the "Dragoon", she had crashed more than once. From the very beginning, she was mentally prepared for various problems with the test machine. The imbalance at this moment only made her panic for a moment. As a A senior "test pilot", she has extensive experience in "crashes".
After barely adjusting the balance several times, she found that she could no longer go into the air, and the only option seemed to be a paragliding landing.
Maggie forced herself to calm down, and began to try her best to maintain the posture. She spread her wings and tried to enter the gliding state, but this was much more difficult than before—the "armor" made of steel was not very strong under normal circumstances. It was a huge burden, but it was obviously a trouble when she made an emergency landing. She was carrying this strange load, felt the frenzied airflow, and tried her best to avoid the ending of a vertical fall. The town below and the Baishui River not far away Already clearly visible.
Maggie constantly adjusted the angle of her wings, making herself deviate from the direction of the town, and fell as far as possible toward the river on the side—
This way at least it won't cause any casualties... I shouldn't be too seriously injured. Although hitting the water at high speed will also bring a terrible impact, it is better than falling on the hard ground. With the physique of a dragon, plus the deceleration along the way... it is acceptable damage.
Maggie quickly completed the balance in her mind, and in the next second, Baishuihe was rushing towards her face...
Till sensed that something was approaching at high speed in the air, and she was about to soak in the water for an afternoon nap, she couldn't help poking her head out, looking up at the sky.
A huge black shadow just smashed down head-on.
The last image Till saw was an iron jaw that was blurred due to the high-speed approach.
"Ouch—gap—"
Cecil 2 years, 12th of Resurrection.
The Iron Wings prototype takes off.
Dragonborn test pilot Maggie completed the one-hour flight on the Iron Wings, and then made an emergency landing on the Whitewater River due to a mechanical failure.
Siren Tyr was stabbed to death by an iron jaw falling from the sky (1/1).
