Chapter 474 Dragon Meeting

The data in the depths of the city's mind quietly changed. Nearly a hundred floating cities were fiddled with by invisible giant hands like pawns. Orbit corrections, position shifts, gravitational changes, and the interaction of the city's weather system caused the atmospheric circulation to become more chaotic. , extreme celestial phenomena are brewing and erupting everywhere, but no one cares about it—at least the higher human race no longer cares about these details.

The lords of the cities who came back urgently from the Immortal Palace affirmed all people's guesses. Even though they knew that this moment must come, when it really came, even the high-level humans in the city of heaven couldn't help but feel excited. panic.

The opening of the gate of crossing the world means that they will finally get rid of this closed world that is increasingly going crazy and destroyed. This is something that most people have been looking forward to for a long time.Even another world may not be so beautiful, but there is a barren but stable land, a boring but peaceful starry sky, and the human race living in that world is so weak and useless, it is suitable to be replaced by them.

Although it is not without nostalgia for this world, human beings are emotional creatures. No matter how harsh the living environment of this world is, they have multiplied here for countless generations. The sky and the earth have left their traces deeply. Who can easily abandon them? Where did you come from?

The city is moving, and conflicting emotions are also intertwined. While looking forward to the future, the high-level human race in the sky city is immersed in self-pity and self-pity. No one is interested in what is happening on the ground in this world.There is nothing valuable on the ground, only the extremely harsh living environment and the lowly animals living in it.

Like a flock of swifts, the shining silver aircraft rushed out of the storm like lightning, followed the channel of the wind that only capable people could see, passed the rumbling ground lightly, and flew over the heads of the migrating Badinla.Looking down with the pilot's far superior eyesight than ordinary people, it is easy to judge the group size, distribution of members and living conditions of this humanoid race. The cub hiding in the elder's hair raised its head in the strong wind, The big yellow crystal eyes met the eyes of the person in the aircraft, who smiled and blinked at it.

The next moment, a stream of light shot out from the belly of the spaceship, smashing the head of a giant worm bursting from the ground beside it, and the suddenly frightened Badinla hurriedly avoided its death struggle, and was blown away by the ensuing torrential rain. Frightened by the ground attack, these fluffy little people realized that they were helped from the worm corpses tumbling everywhere, and those unruly swifts had disappeared into the sky.

The power of the city's engine is pulled, and the impact of the floating city's passive return to the other world is visible. Leaving aside the higher human race, the living environment of the ground race has obviously become worse. Under the desire to survive, it is also in some Under the protection and guidance of power, they left in large numbers from various settlements that were losing their shelter function, crossed mountains and rivers, and braved all kinds of extremely cold or fiery storms to come to the more than 50 places that have been identified. Click Migrate.

Contrary to the extreme climate they experienced along the way, the vicinity of the arrival point can be said to be calm, so that the enormous gravitational force formed by the space-time channel forms a certain balance with the chaotic world forces here, and as the channel gradually stabilizes, it continues to move outwards. expand.For many humanoid races who are looking for a place to live, even if an instinct makes them feel that there may be a huge trap ahead, they have nowhere to go.

Thousands of humanoid races or intelligent beast races came from all directions, poured into the vicinity of the space-time point, and settled down outside the core area in a chaotic and orderly manner.Because the energy here is too abundant, these races carrying specific genes do not need to forage again, and under the infiltration of stable and overflowing energy, they enter the deep sleep before evolution one by one.Although this scene happening in various places doesn't really concern the high-level humans—no matter how the low-level races evolve, they have no advantage in front of them—but it is clearly reflected in the eyes of the dragons.

"After Astaros left, the human race has become more and more stupid." The huge blue dragon said disdainfully, "The so-called humanoid race is not much different from them in terms of origin, and should even be counted as a human race in terms of biological attributes. Their brothers and sisters, and those intelligent orcs are their eyes and ears. Humans abandoned their own hands, feet, eyes and ears and ran to live in the sky. They thought they were noble and clean, and even refused to step down to the ground until their death. They lived on the legacy of their ancestors... …if they don’t think it’s shameful, don’t they feel more degraded than they were 200 years ago?”

No matter how the outside world is turned upside down, Dragon Valley remains the same as before. It has been like this since ancient times... since the Black Dragon Lord went to the other world. The gentle wind blows ripples on the lake, surrounded by white sandy beaches, brown conglomerate, and almost black forests. Under the sky, dragons gather by the lake, the filtered harmless sunlight shines on their dazzling scales, and the clear lake water reflects the gorgeous brilliance.

Many human beings regard dragons as biological weapons with high levels of energy but lack of rationality. They are afraid—the black dragon lord has left them with a deep shadow in the past, and they also hide their disdain—after all, they are just biological weapons. Dwell on the ground and give up becoming Lord of the World to fulfill an ancient promise.However, this kind of contempt is two-way. Regarding what happened to the human race recently, although the dragons seldom negotiate directly with them, they have their own understanding of them that will shock most of the senior lords.

Now that all the dragons are gathering, it is precisely to discuss the opening of the channel. The meeting place is not at the Dragon Palace but at the lakeside. It is obvious that the dragons are not very worried about their future.

The red dragon Xervis, who responded to the topic of Fernand, the guardian dragon of the East, said: "If they had a correct understanding of themselves, there would not be that rebellion 200 years ago. The king of the human race is so painstaking and lonely, and he will go through a lot of troubles." Thousands of years of planning and management reached the last step, but they forced them to finally abandon everything and travel alone, martyrdom, and spread that powerful body in the other side of the world, laying the foundation for this migration. Many facts are in front of us, But they have no sense of gratitude, and are still selfish, not only planning to attack Delderan, the only heir to the will of the king, but also blindly turning a blind eye to the crisis that has come..."

"It is precisely because they are so stupid that the human king left many ways for other human races." Another dragon said, "'Natural selection, survival of the fittest', his plan is far-reaching , although the purpose of life is to continue, and not only to be at the top of all things can be considered victory, but after they migrate to the other world, if they can't work together and find a way to break through, the fate they face is still only perish."

"He has such painstaking efforts, but he may not be able to be understood by people." Fernand said, "But they don't need to understand. As the true successors of the ancient human race, they only need to make a decision, and then leave everything to humans .”

"As for our dragon clan..." The dragon's voice echoed on the lake, and the blue dragon spread its huge wings, stretched its neck, and looked at the sky. Obtaining the freedom from the physical body to the spiritual body, as a reward for guarding this world for thousands of years, those 'urban engines' will also become our food as promised!"

As soon as this remark came out, Qunlong immediately responded happily. "That's right!" A dragon continued, "Among the ancient legacies, the most valuable thing is this kind of thing, and our Dragon Clan is the life that was originally created by fusing it with the essence of this world. Only through the integration of these things can we achieve our true perfect form, and once we achieve perfection, we will be able to transcend this world and travel infinite time and space!"

"That's why we have been controlling the number of dragons..."

"The long protection and sacrifice are about to pay off..."

"We have felt their call. In the hands of the human race, they have been idle and wasted for too long..."

"And we have waited too long..." The sigh passed between the dragon and the dragon, "Dragon, originally the freest creature in the universe, but we were born trapped here, just because of the fall ten thousand years ago , causing us to be put in shackles from the moment we were born..."

"Freedom is at hand now..."

"Why don't we give it a push and make it come sooner?"

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

When the dragons talk to each other, the more they talk, the more joyful they become, but the beautiful silver dragon in the center just listens quietly.But Sheng Wanglong never likes to make comments, and only makes a final decision at the end, just as all the dragons have almost reached a consensus at this time, and they turned around to ask for his decision.

"You can do it," Salvren said.

Without waiting for the dragons to cheer, Fernand asked again: "Having said that, I wonder when His Majesty Melavia will return? And His Royal Highness Longzi, has he grown enough to pass through the Rift Storm?"

These were words of sincere concern, but after they were uttered, the lake fell into silence.

The joy shown by the dragons just now seems to be based on the black dragon master and dragon son who have completely forgotten that they are still in the other world...

Sheng Wanglong didn't answer directly, but asked, "Do you want them to come back?"

Fernand said: "Of course they should come back!"

Did not get the expected response from the dragons, Fernand finally reacted, turned his head suddenly, and looked at them with reproachful eyes, but the dragons looked at the sky, the earth and the lake, but they did not look at him, even the most stable red Long Silves was also in an awkward posture.

Lies have nothing to hide in front of the Holy King Dragon, and the dragons can't say anything against their will here.

Fernand was shocked, "It's been so long, you guys, you actually treated the Dragon Lord—"

His sister Sharlanli said weakly: "Your Majesty the Dragon Lord...shouldn't we need to worry about him..."

Fernand was angry, but he couldn't blame his compatriots too much.Although his natural loyalty made him pay attention to the situation of the dragon lord and the dragon son, it was not that he was not afraid of that majesty, and even because he had more opportunities to contact him, he understood the scruples of the dragons better.Rather than saying that the dragons have forgotten the existence of that His Majesty, it is better to say that they do not want to think of it at all.As a race with more obvious unnatural elements than the high-level human race, only the black dragon is completely free from the constraints of the initial setting, born from the essence of this world, so it is born not to regard other dragons as the same kind. For it, There is nothing in this world that cannot be swallowed.

At least before His Majesty Meravia was exiled to the other world, he was still under some restraints, and he would not speak easily to his fellow clansmen, and he didn't even think about including the city engine in the recipe.But the picture seen by the dragon rebels from the prophecy is indeed the most likely future. Even the holy king dragon cannot completely suppress its nature, and once he returns from starvation in the other world for 200 years, what will happen to them?

As for the son of the dragon... In fact, the vast majority of the dragon clan still find it difficult to accept its existence.When that "egg" was still in this world, except for His Majesty Meravia, every dragon saw it and thought it was just a very high-density energy crystallization, and it was absolutely impossible for any form of life to be born from it.

It was, however, hatched in another world.

The impossible happened, and the dragons had to think of that rebellion that had never happened in the history of the dragon clan.Like crazy, those dragons ignored the huge power gap between them, and launched an extremely sudden and desperate attack on His Majesty the Holy King Dragon and the Black Dragon Lord, obviously hearing the prophecy about the "unhatched dragon egg" before At that time, the vast majority of dragons basically didn't believe it. If you want to say, it is possible for the black dragon lord to destroy the world, and it is worth all the dragons' vigilance. Keep the illusion and don't eat it, what is really born in the ten thousand of ten thousand exceptions, the time and energy are not enough for it to grow up.

It is very difficult for this world to support a black dragon master, unless—unless the son of the dragon is another more talented black dragon master, who can completely devour its birther.

But how could such a thing happen?Survival is the most powerful instinct of that majesty. Since crossing the boundary membrane did not harm the majesty at all, what else in this world can threaten its life?

"Meravia and that child are safe in the other world." The Holy King Dragon said calmly, "They will return safely, and the Dragon Clan will be free as promised. Don't worry too much."

Perhaps there was no more trustworthy promise than His Majesty Salvren's, so the dragons calmed down, discussed some less important issues, and then ended the meeting.

At least before humans left this world, they should still fulfill their duty of protection. After the meeting, the dragons took off from the lake one by one, fluttered their wings across the lake, and flew to the outer domains.Dragons take off is a very magnificent picture. The appearance of dragons defined in this world is different from those subspecies with obvious animal characteristics. Their shape is like condensed elements. Although their size and strength are so huge, there is a kind of uncertainty. When they travel far away, they are like rainbow lights across the sky, leaving behind ripples of symphony.

Sheng Wanglong watched their leaving backs and was silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.

The blue dragon didn't say anything, just quietly curled up beside him.

When the opposite world opened the space channel according to its plan, the world of Central Continent also reacted in its own way. Earthquakes became more frequent. Abnormally, even the Shenguang Forest has encountered a wave of beasts... There are no kings or religious leaders who say that the restart of the rift is a scam fabricated by an inhuman alien joint to rule the world. The ability of industrial alliances to guide and assist neighboring regions has become more prominent.

As a result, not only those kingdom representatives who chose to wait and see or refuse to sign because the conditions of the covenant were too harsh turned back in a hurry, many countries that were invited but did not go also hurriedly sent valuable representatives to this pagan country, hoping to obtain its asylum, even for this reason. It does not hesitate to give up some important rights and interests.

Under such circumstances, Long Tianao was finally going to end his visit and study experience in the Industrial Alliance, and return to the country of Xia on the other side of Central Continent.There were many people who saw them off, because not only he was going back, but also a large-scale working team, including a small and capable propaganda team in addition to general service personnel.Heman was still rooted and working in the new autonomous region, and Long Tianao bid farewell to him. Although the leader of this team was not familiar with him, he was an old friend of Heman's when he was in New Mahy City.

Herman's old friend Artoria is a young man whose appearance matches his name, and who is a bit too delicate. Although he is a little reserved when getting along with others, he is very effective when talking about work.Their propaganda team went to work in the United Kingdom, mainly to assist Xia in the popularization and mobilization of war affairs.If it were an independent country, Long Tianao would not be hostile to Artoria, who is a representative of other countries interfering in its own affairs, at least he should be repulsed emotionally, but Long Tianao can be regarded as such in a certain way He is a different kind, so not only did he not dislike the team that was going to teach their survivors how to do things—all the Alliance members in the same company did this, but he also learned about their work plans and working methods in detail during the journey.

At least before making up his mind to establish contact with the elves, and more importantly, the industrial alliance through Li Yunce, Long Tianao, as a member of the innovation faction of the survivors, basically only knows how to create rumors and how to clarify rumors about the so-called propaganda work .In his view, who has outstanding force, although words can make waves, in the end, it is still, and only iron and blood, that determine who everyone listens to.

It's not wrong for him to think this way, but that's the attitude towards the enemy, not the attitude towards the same people who are facing the dilemma between the two camps.Even Long Tianao himself had some struggles when he made his decision, so how can he ask his compatriots to be wise and decisive?Therefore, driven by their respective interests, the conflicts between the survivors after their split were extremely acute, and their opponents would undoubtedly not miss such a good opportunity to launch a wave of attacks. Even with the help of Shenguang Forest, the survivors would inevitably suffer a lot. Loss.The most significant loss was that a set of smelting equipment aided by the Industrial Alliance was removed by the Central Empire. The workers and technicians in the smelter were either killed or taken away, which dealt a heavy blow to the interests of the entire bereaved family.

Although the defeat in that battle caused the shame that has not been washed away to this day, it also accelerated the transformation of the survivors from division to unity. First of all, the balance of power between the conservative (or feudal) camp and the innovative (it can be said to be several circles) camp He fell to the reformers at once. The gate of the city where the culprit who betrayed the interests of the bereaved family was secretly opened, and his army surrendered after the first battle. The camp had to sue for peace with the reform camp.

At that time, important issues such as peace or discord with the conservative camp, whether to raise troops to counterattack the Central Empire or plan to build a country, whether to join the alliance of interests similar to the West that the elves will lead to establish, and where to go for the future of the survivors, etc. There was a lot of controversy within the bereaved family.In that chaotic period of battle not only of reality, but also of ideas and positions, the White Ship of the Industrial Federation arrived at the southern port, and they sent a second set of coal and iron production equipment.

Different from the previous three-point purchase and seven-point gift, driven by lessons learned, the bereaved family paid a lot for this new production line, although compared with what they got, the price is still not high.The Industrial Alliance is unequivocal about this transaction. The production equipment sent by a fleet is not only more advanced and perfect, but also has higher output, and the requirements for its production personnel have also increased. In order to train enough operators, the industry The league is also equipped with an equally small but capable education team.

For the survivors at that time, the arrival of this team had a very important impact.If thermal weapons are recognized as the most powerful force of the industrial alliance, then the lethality caused by the ideas spread from this heterogeneous country is the second most powerful. In a certain sense, they are even deadlier than thermal weapons.Even though these alliance members who went to various places for specific work did not take the initiative to spread any "violent theory" out of respect for the local area at the beginning, their existence is extremely special.No one can ignore an alliance member who is actually doing things, and their actions often lead to extremely eye-catching results. They are representatives of strength, wealth and wisdom. People both respect and yearn to be like them.

Once the feeling of longing occurs, it is natural to accept the thought and culture of civilization behind it, not to mention that they have the same origin.Intentionally or unintentionally, the basic education textbooks brought by that team became popular among the survivors in the form of literacy courses, etc., and the survivors who were lost in the way forward seemed to find the answer at once, why did they have to learn from the dilapidated history? Do you want to search for it, or imagine a state form that belongs to the bereaved family out of thin air with no experience?Why should they not learn from the model before them, who has been so successful and has a brighter future?

What is more suitable is that the industrial alliance is a country where the bereaved family occupies an important position, the original ethnic group in the birthplace takes a backseat, and multi-ethnic and multi-ethnic cohabitation. Its membership is so complicated that it is still absorbing more and more With a large land and population, there should be many contradictions and difficult to reconcile. However, no matter what you hear or see, the industrial alliance is extremely stable, and there is no sign of crisis.If they can learn the essence of their rule, then their predicament will not be solved, at least the future will be bright.

What's more, since the establishment of the connection, the industrial alliance headed by the magician has been providing unilateral assistance to the survivors, and every survivor has benefited more or less from it. Even if someone has done ungrateful things, the alliance has never lost expectations of them.

So under the emotions of admiration, gratitude, wanting to rise up to break through the predicament, and longing for a better future, the bereaved family carried out drastic internal reforms, and finally the present Xia Kingdom was born.In the process of establishing this country that truly belongs to the bereaved family, the work team supported by the Industrial Alliance at their request did not interfere in their party affairs, but helped them establish a new one based on the results of the internal struggle of the bereaved family and in accordance with their needs. National financial system, official selection system, education system and military training system.

From this point of view, Xia Kingdom cannot actually be regarded as an independent country: to this day, in the national management system they have established with the assistance of external forces, a considerable proportion of the affairs officers are dispatched from the industrial alliance. Establish any paper or other definite form of affiliation, but the debt in kind sent back to the Industrial Union through the White Ship every year is not impossible to treat as a tax.Not to mention that emotionally, Xia Guo's sense of belonging and identification with the industrial alliance is stronger than that of the United Kingdom.

The white boat entered the port, and there was a lot of people on the pier. The battle to welcome the industrial alliance task force and the Xia country visiting group was grand and enthusiastic. Among the people who came to greet them were not only the bereaved family, but also a large number of Xin Xia who had the identity of the original empire. Chinese, elves and some alien races are also mixed in it.This is a picture that seems harmonious and close to normal now, but it was completely unimaginable in the past.

Long Tianao looked away from the window, picked up the suitcase, opened the cabin door and walked out.

In fact, both the current Xia Kingdom and the United Kingdom are built on the same foundation.
