Chapter 1224 Under the night of Tallond

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Listening to Coretta's story, Maggie raised her slender neck and looked at the beacon devices in the distant wilderness that flashed lights regularly under the starry sky of the polar night - the scorched war wasteland in the night  Stretching, the cold starlight shines on the wrinkled hardened rock layers and uneven craters. The polar cold wind whizzes across the earth, carrying the unique smell of some kind of pollutant leakage, and those beacons  Shining in such ruins, relying on small energy supply modules and simple protection, they stand in the cold wind, forming a thin but never-ending "border" in the wilderness.

    The light of the beacon extends all the way to the end of the line of sight. Compared with the endless lights that once shone on the land of Tallond, this dim light is like fireflies, but these fireflies are the first time that the dragons have appeared on this cruel land.  The safe territory that was "gnawed out" after a series of fights was outside the lights, a desperate situation where life could not survive, and within the lights was the only remaining home of the dragons.

    Just like every dragonborn who had the opportunity to set foot on Tallond, after seeing this wasteland and the efforts of the dragons to survive, all the imagination in Maggie's mind about the "homeland of the dragons" disappeared.  It gradually collapses into reality. This reality is not very beautiful, but at least it is visible and tangible.

    Coretta stood next to Maggie, raised one wing and pointed into the distance: "This is the boundary of the Orange Zone - according to the current division method, the Orange Zone is also a 'safe zone', at least for those who have a certain ability to protect themselves.  For extraordinary beings and dragons, these areas can still survive. On the other side of the light is the red zone. Do you see those brighter places? Those are the rest stops in the red zone. The soldiers use those rest stops as nodes.  , gradually clearing the pollution and cracks in the red zone"

    "What about outside the red zone?" Maggie suddenly asked, "Are there other areas outside the red zone?"

    "Yes, the Black Zone is a general term for all areas with unknown conditions. It also includes those areas that have been explored but are extremely dangerous and cannot be dealt with by existing means. In fact, the Black Zone is most of the current situation in Tallond -  The explored areas, including the red zone, only account for less than one-tenth of the entire continent," Coretta said slowly. "The exploration of the black zone is extremely risky, and only the most elite professional combat dragons can take on this important task.  , but we must explore those places, where there are resources we urgently need, there may be factories that are still running or worth repairing, there may even be dragon eggs, or compatriots who have fallen into darkness and are waiting for rescue"

    Maggie listened carefully to Coretta's story, with a thoughtful expression. After Coretta finished speaking, she was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "About these information on advancement and construction in the wasteland.  ¡­Can it be made public?¡±

    "Publicly?" Coretta was stunned for a moment, but she quickly thought about it and nodded lightly, "This is nothing that needs to be kept secret. The jury is even considering compiling this information into a booklet and distributing it to Loren.  The reinforcement teams and adventurers who came here will be used as a reference - why, are you interested in these things?"

    "It's not me, it's our Majesty - I mean His Majesty Cecil," Maggie said immediately, "We are planning to counterattack the Gondor Wasteland. You should know that place - it was a land destroyed by the magic tide.  A land inhabited by aberrations and other dangerous mutant creatures, the situation is different from Tallond, but the challenges we face are similar - and your experience in this land can be of great help to us.  "

    Coretta blinked. She had obviously never thought about it in this direction before, but soon she understood Maggie's thoughts, with an eighteen-fanged smile on her face: "Ah, of course this is a good thing, I  Report this matter to the leader when you get back. He should be very happy to provide this information to the Alliance. Since the end of the war, Tallond has been receiving help from the Lorren countries. The dragon is not used to owing favors.  Race."

    Maggie bent her neck slightly and shook her head from side to side. This was an action she had just learned from other dragons. In the tradition of pure-blood dragons, this action represents friendship and gratitude.

    Coretta responded with a salute, and then her attention was diverted elsewhere - her eyes fell on Maggie's complex-structured but rough-looking mechanical armors.  The all-powerful "Duel Dragon Lady" had actually been interested in Maggie's mechanical armor from the very beginning, but it wasn't until now that the two of them got a little more familiar that she finally couldn't help but ask: "What's this suit on you?"  'Armor' is it the 'Wings of Steel' mentioned by the Dragonborn in Binhai County?"

    "Yes," Maggie raised her head and shook her wings and tail in a slightly showy manner. The steel structure at the connection made a rattling sound in the night, but her words were still very modest, "And Tallond's  Compared with technology, this should be nothing.¡±

    "It's the Tallond of the past - the Tallond of today can't create anything"Just say it casually," Modier smiled, and then he suddenly showed a mysterious look, leaned close to Coretta's ear and whispered, "By the way, you know, my descendant  ¡­probably a big shot.  "

    Coretta was stunned. She didn't know how to answer the great adventurer for a moment, so she could only say perfunctorily: "Ah, a big shot? What kind of big shot?"

    "She said she was an administrative official in the Government Affairs Department, an ordinary administrative official," Modier said slowly, sitting on his rocking chair, but soon shook his head slightly, "But I know she didn't  to be honest."

    Coretta: "Huh?"

    "My memory is not very good, and my spirit is a little unstable, but I'm not stupid - and I also have a pair of good eyes." The old man smiled and pointed at his head and eyes, and said slowly  Said, "She is a big shot, not a small official. Small officials do not have her magnanimity, and small officials will not alarm the upper echelons of Tallond, let alone talk about the rulers of the empire in such a calm tone.  ¡­ She¡¯s not good at lying, of course, maybe she¡¯s not good at it in front of me.¡±

    Coretta suddenly became a little nervous when she heard what the old man said: "So you"

    "I came up with several guesses, but I didn't dare to think deeply about any of them, or even think of those key words in my mind." Modier's rocking chair shook gently, and the wood creaked. "  I also gave myself a few mental suggestions to stop my uncontrollable thoughts - don't worry, girl, the old man is measured. I have experienced many weird and bizarre situations in my life, and naturally I have some coping skills.  "

    "¡­¡­You have worked hard."

    "It's not hard work at all," Modier smiled and waved his hand. He raised his head and looked at the starry sky under the polar night with some ecstasy. "I'm just afraid that I will accidentally forget Hera  Mr. Gore did a test for me. Certain key information stimuli will cause my memory to be confused for a period of time, and even the entire consciousness will be reset. Sometimes it will only reset for a short period, but maybe it will be reset next time.  It will make me forget something for a whole day - I finally met my descendant, but if she comes to see me again tomorrow and I don't recognize her, don't you think it would be a bit embarrassing?"

    Coretta suddenly found that she didn¡¯t know how to respond, so she had to stand quietly beside the old mage, listening to the old man¡¯s slightly garrulous talk.

    "I never thought that I would have any relatives, even though there is almost six hundred years between this relative and me" Modile said slowly, "In my only memory, I have been wandering around,  I went to many places, met many people, and recorded many things, but none of them could have a stable connection with me. As time went by, I even forgot about 'time' itself, and I was confused all day long, until  Today, I seem to have just realized that some people and things I remember were even the First Dynasty of Ansu"

    "You have relatives, and your relatives have not forgotten you," Coretta couldn't help but say, "Even if you no longer remember them, they have always"

    She didn¡¯t finish her words, because even and slight snoring could be heard from the direction of the old mage.

    Modier fell asleep, basking in the "sun in his heart" and fell asleep in the dragon city of the polar night. But this time, there was a slight smile on his lips, and the black and white monotonous world did not come to his door.  , he slept peacefully.

    ¡­¡­

    After returning to her temporary residence in New Argondor, Victoria met Maggie who had returned from the outskirts of the city.

    "Mordel Wilder's condition is very bad. I suspect that he is being chased by the power of the ancient gods - and this power has begun to have an effect on the real world," she said to Maggie quickly, "I  I need you to return to Loren as soon as possible, report the matter to His Majesty, and bring back a 'sample' at the same time."

    "Understood, I can leave at any time." Maggie nodded immediately and said, but her voice seemed a bit hoarse and weird.

    Victoria¡¯s face suddenly showed a curious look: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your throat?¡±

    Maggie had a hint of embarrassment on her face. Faced with her friend's inquiry, she had no choice but to turn her head away unnaturally: "It's nothing, I just hurt my throat from burping."

    "Hiccup?"

    "Well, hiccups."
