His eyes fell on Heragor's face, and he didn't move for a long time.

He remembered the face.

In the center of the eternal storm, in the center of that frozen space-time, he had seen this face!

This is the Dragon Clan standing on the Tower of Steel, standing in the center of the battlefield like a commander, and fighting "Them" with the guarding Dragon Clans!

Chapter 0950 The God of the Dragon

Heragor quickly noticed Gawain's gaze, but the good self-restraint made the dragon priest not show any displeasure on his face, he just took half a step sideways, and asked curiously: "What? Is there anything inappropriate about you?"

Gao Wen quickly recovered from the shock, he forcibly suppressed the astonishment and speculations in his heart, and just smiled apologetically: "Sorry, you may resemble someone I once knew - but it must be me Mistake."

"Really?" Heragor nodded, "There are thousands of people in the world, even in the two continents of Tallond and Loren, it is understandable that there are similar faces. If there is a chance, I would like to get to know each other very much. The one who looks like me."

While speaking, the dragon priest made an invitation gesture and turned to lead the way, while Gao Wen followed him and said casually: "I'm afraid that won't be possible—due to some personal reasons, most of the people I know have died for several years. century."

This set of people who rise from the coffin is really useful sometimes, especially when you want to tell a lie about life span, time, and acquaintances—Gao Wen couldn't help sighing like this, and at the same time began to silently calculate his "resurrection from the dead" After that, how many virtual friends appeared due to the needs of the plot, and then died in the long river of time...

"...Really, that's really regrettable," Heragor obviously didn't doubt him, the priest leader just nodded slightly, and said while leading Gawain into the corridor, "I never I don’t leave Tarrond, so I seldom contact people outside Tarrond, if I offend you in conversation due to racial or cultural differences, please forgive me.”

"But your Common Tongue is very good, Mr. Heragore," said Veronica suddenly, "on the way here, we heard the real 'Dragon Language' of Tarrond, and I had already discovered Human beings' imagination of the dragon race is wrong in many ways, and they don't even think about the details that the two races should not understand each other. For dragons with a long history, the languages ​​used by those short-lived civilizations on the Loren continent should not be different. Not something worth learning extensively, is it?"

"That's true—but with the help of Omega, mastering a new language is not troublesome," Heragor replied in a very indifferent tone, "Compared to learning a language, it is better to understand the way of thinking of a foreign race It's more difficult."

"You said you never left Tarrond?" Gawain looked at the dragon priest walking in front of him, and decided to inquire about some information - although he could not rule out the "similar face", he was not sure that he was in Is the face seen in the gap between time and space of the eternal storm really the dragon priest in front of him, but his intuition still tells him that all of this is probably not a coincidence, "Hasn't he left even once?"

"Is this strange?" Heragor's footsteps seemed to pause a little, but he quickly continued to move forward, "Many dragons are like this-for us, Tallond is a place rich enough home, there is no need to leave.”

He didn't answer himself directly!

Gao Wen realized this in an instant, but he didn't ask any further, because he had a lot of doubts about the chaotic time and space at the center of the eternal storm, and he was deeply afraid of someone tampering with that experience after leaving the storm. Before knowing the truth behind everything, he decided not to rush further.

Gao Wen didn't ask any more questions. Veronica herself was very quiet, and Amber was rarely blind in this strange environment. Therefore, the following part of the journey was extremely silent, even to the point of embarrassment. Fortunately, the silence didn't last long - after passing through a corridor and an elevator that could be described as a "hall" in Gao Wen's opinion, they finally arrived at their destination.

Located in the sanctuary on the uppermost floor of the council headquarters, the god's residence here - the upper sanctuary.

After walking out from the lifting platform, Gao Wen and his party first arrived at a long open-air bridge. From this position, they could almost see the entire temple, and the scenery that hit their faces shocked everyone almost instantly—they Seeing the bright stars shining on a magnificent building with a dome and hundreds of columns, the temple stood quietly and holy in the night sky, and they saw a holy light pouring out of the temple, and the North Pole The stars in the area were shining brightly, and they also heard some faint and indistinguishable singing and praises. The voice quietly entered their ears, and even Hu Po, a carefree person, had a feeling of cleansing his soul.

"It's so beautiful..." Amber couldn't help admiring, her eyes reflected the radiance of the temple, and a smile overflowed on her face, "It's as if... it's like stepping into the starry sky...designing this People who live in this building must love stars, right?"

Gao Wen noticed that when Amber said this, Heragor, who was standing silently, swayed for a moment, and then the high priest broke the silence: "On the contrary, he doesn't like the starry sky. "

"Ah? Really?" Amber didn't seem to notice the word "He" in the other party's mouth for a while, she just blinked in surprise, "But I think this building is designed specifically for watching stars...you see Those balconies and windows, even if they weren't designed for stargazing, must be very suitable for stargazing..."

"Okay," Gao Wen interrupted her loudly, "It's like how professional you are in the field of architecture. We're just here as guests, not to judge other people's homes."

"But... ah, well," Amber glanced at Gao Wen and shrugged, "You have the final say."

"Forgive me, she just likes this place," Gawain turned to Heragor, "Please lead the way, Mr. Heragor."

The dragon priest nodded expressionlessly: "Please follow me."

Under the leadership of the high-ranking priest, Gawain and the others crossed the long bridge and stepped into the golden hall with a dome and gorgeous columns. A soft, bright, and non-glare radiance filled the inside and outside of the building. They crossed the gate and the small connecting bridge decorated with running water, and finally stopped in a rotunda.

In the extremely wide hall, there is only one holy seat standing high in the center, as if bearing endless brilliance and glory, and in front of the holy seat, a figure with long golden hair hanging down to the ground is standing there quietly.

Dragon God, Enya.

A god stranded in the mortal world.

Veronica had raised her vigilance the moment she entered the hall, and was fully prepared to deal with the spiritual pollution of the gods. However, until she confronted the dragon god, the expected spiritual pollution did not come, which made her fall into a trap. There was an accident, and subconsciously took another look at the god—he was dignified and elegant, his appearance was almost as perfect as the limit of mortal imagination, and he was wearing something that seemed to be made of silk, but was far smoother and smoother than silk. The light gold long dress, there is not much decoration on the long dress, but it can't hide the brilliance that the "goddess" should have. In a short eye contact, even as the leader of the rebels, Veronica dared to take the lead. Came up with an idea——

Indeed...perfect as a god.

When Veronica's eyes fell on the dragon god, the latter also fell on Veronica at the same time. The "god" seemed to show a smile, and even gently looked at Veronica. He nodded, but soon his gaze shifted away and landed on Gao Wen.

"You are finally here," the god took the initiative to break the silence, his voice was unexpectedly gentle, "The mortal who I invited twice... just this one, you have brought me more surprises than this season of human civilization. Give me unexpected sums."

"Is this counting as asking for a crime?" Gao Wen laughed. Although he also tensed up when he entered the hall, this did not affect his superficial indifference - the dragon god Enya did not cause an intuitive warning , which is probably a good sign.

"No, you can think of it as appreciation—for me, unexpected things are more rare than everything under control." The dragon god smiled, and then under Heragor's surprised gaze, He stepped forward and walked down the platform where the holy seat was located, and the holy seat disappeared into the air inch by inch as he left. When he came to Gao Wen, the whole The high platform and the holy seat on the platform have all disappeared.

"I think this kind of face-to-face conversation will make the atmosphere better—and it will also make your nerves less tense," Dragon God said, and at the same time made a movement that was very surprising to everyone—he actually Stretching out his hand, he looked at Gawain with a smile on his face, "Shaking hands—should this be the latest etiquette in the mortal world?"

The surrounding atmosphere was a bit weird for a moment, probably no one thought that the lingering god would have such a kind attitude. Gawain hesitated when he saw the hand stretched out to him, but the hesitation was short, and after two seconds, he Gathering his mind, he stretched out his hand.

He touched the fingertips of the dragon god Enya—softer and warmer than expected, almost human.

And in the next moment, a strange feeling suddenly came to his heart, Gao Wen raised his head subconsciously, he saw that the dome of the circular hall suddenly became transparent and illusory, and a layer of dirty, chaotic, twisted clouds Gathering quickly and blocking the stars in the sky, in the filthy and chaotic clouds, he once again saw the indescribable things he saw above Tarrond:

Countless crazy and chaotic limbs are assembled together in a nightmare-like posture. Wriggling flesh and blood, strangely shining crystals, and pale bones are intertwined in the sky. Countless pairs of eyes are embedded in the disordered flesh and blood, watching with indifferent eyes Looking at the land of Tarrond, there seemed to be polluted starlight wandering among the disordered limbs, and the illusory flames continued to burn the sky!

Under this scene, Gawain felt his heartbeat stopped for half a beat, and in the next second, he suddenly found a place in the sky where he was in Tarrond before, from the huge, terrifying, and nightmare-like structure. Details that were not discovered when looking over the open sea——

He saw those chaotic and distorted limb structures intertwined, but vaguely pieced together some kind of outline. His sight scanned from one end of the sky in Tarrond to the other. Under such a huge span, the sky directly below From the angle of view, he finally saw... those things were vaguely "stitched" into the shape of a giant dragon.

A gigantic, ferocious, twisted, terrifying yet pain-filled dragon that is even bigger than the continent of Tarrond, it prostrates on this ancient and prosperous continent, its wings covering the entire land The earth is like a cage and a barrier. Countless, hair-like black chains extend from his body, densely dense like a forest, hanging down to the ground and reaching into the sky.

This scene, if an ordinary person sees it - will immediately fall into madness.

Even Gao Wen, who witnessed this scene from this perspective and distance, immediately felt that his spiritual world was in turmoil - it was not even "indescribable spiritual pollution", not "polluted knowledge of gods", just The pure visual impact and mental pressure made him feel suffocated.

But fortunately, this is only the visual impact and mental pressure. A wandering soul from a foreign land who has been hanging alone in the sky for millions of years and whose spirit has already mutated has been able to resist all this.

Gawain struggled to resist the psychological pressure, he finally managed to look back from the terrifying scene, and looked at the Dragon God standing in front of him.

The Dragon God was still standing there with a calm and gentle face. He held Gao Wen's hand, and countless dark chains spread out behind him. one ring.

These chains hold the dragon god, but the dragon god also has chains, and the chains are part of him, and he is part of the chain.

All of this is a whole.

As if the cognition suddenly flooded into his mind, Gao Wen felt that he understood everything, and in the next second, he felt that warm and soft hand loosen.

Then all visions disappeared.

"Hey, are you okay? Why are you so stunned?" Amber's voice suddenly came from the side. For some reason, after hearing her voice, Gawain suddenly felt relieved - the last trace of pressure and pressure on his heart. The suffocation finally subsided, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm his beating heart.

"I'm fine." Gao Wen replied in a low voice, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

"You saw it." The dragon god Enya's voice sounded, and he stared at Gao Wen, his tone was still gentle, but his eyes were deep and terrifying. There seemed to be thousands of truths hidden in those pale golden eyes, but Gao Wen looked carefully. , but saw nothing but emptiness.

He nodded and said calmly, "I see."

"I'm surprised that you can resist all this so easily - you just need to take a few breaths," Dragon God said lightly, "I've already made a lot of emergency preparations."

"Fortunately, my spirit is still strong, and my heart is still good, so I won't die after seeing something scary," Gao Wen said, surprised that he still had the energy to joke, "Then... ...what the hell am I seeing?"

"It's me—it's obvious, isn't it?" Dragon God Enya suddenly smiled, and the slightly tense atmosphere in the hall disappeared in an instant. Then he turned sideways slightly, raised his arms and waved them lightly.

A silver-white round table with countless hollow decorations, several gorgeous chairs inlaid with gemstones appeared out of thin air, and exquisite refreshments were placed on the table.

"Now we can sit down and talk, everyone relax," the "god" invited. "Today, it's just a chat."

Chapter 0951 Small talk

chat.

This word gave Gawain a momentary feeling of weirdness - since he came to Tarrond, the similar feeling of weirdness seems to have never disappeared.

The dragon kingdom is different from his imagination, the "painting style" of the dragon clan is different from his imagination, the true face of the dragon god is different from his imagination, and the attitude of the dragon god is different from his imagination....

But no matter what, before he set off, he was mentally prepared to face any situation, and witnessing the "Dragon of Confusion" that blocked the sky just now had tempered his spirit even more. Gawain didn't show any abnormality, just He nodded calmly, and then sat casually on the gorgeous seat closest to him.

The golden-red tea appeared out of nowhere and filled the golden cup in front of him.

Dragon God Enya sat down opposite Gao Wen, then looked up at Amber and Veronica: "Do you want to stand?"

Veronica hesitated for a second, and sat down on Gawain's left. Seeing that Veronica sat down, Amber boldly came to the seat on Gawain's right, and deliberately said while sitting down: " ...then I'll just sit down!"

After everyone was seated, Heragor stood behind Enya and stood there quietly like an attendant.

The scene was a little too quiet for a while, and it seemed that no one knew how to start the topic for this extremely special meeting, or the god was waiting for the guest to speak up.Gao Wen was not in a hurry, he just picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly, but the next second he showed a surprised expression: "This tea...is not bad, but the taste is very...wonderful."

"It's something I came up with in my spare time. It's called 'Reflection'," Enya said with a faint smile. There are too many to count, so it is better to give them a 'reflection'-what you want most in your heart is in a cup of reflection."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Gao Wen's heart moved immediately after hearing the words of the Dragon God. He looked at the god in front of him thoughtfully: "The increasing number of mortals brings increasing desires, and even with the power of the gods, they cannot satisfy them." All their wishes."

While talking, he couldn't help but took a sip from his teacup - although he seemed to be more reserved on this occasion, Gao Wen hadn't tasted Coke for too long.

The Dragon God Enya's eyes stayed on Gao Wen, and two seconds later, His smile became more and more obvious—it was the smile of suddenly meeting a bosom friend after soloing for thousands of years.The corner of his mouth raised and he said, "You know a lot."

Gao Wen slightly raised the teacup in his hand: "'Reflection' is indeed a good solution to the problem of 'mortal people have so many wishes that they cannot satisfy them all'."

"It's a pity that only a glass of 'reflection' can't solve all problems. Miracles have a limit—there is no limit to miracles, but gods...don't believe in miracles."

Gods don't believe in miracles?

Gao Wen couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and took another sip from his teacup. Then he looked at Enya and asked seriously, "Is there a bigger cup?"

Drinking Coke in a cup with a capacity of less than [-] milliliters is an insult to Coke—this is the last insistence of a Coke party.

Perhaps even the gods would not have thought that Gao Wen would suddenly make such a request under such circumstances. The Dragon God immediately showed a surprised expression, but after a few seconds of astonishment, the god suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said in a tone of voice. With a palpable smile: "Of course there is - I'm starting to admire you more and more, 'Gauvin Cecil', you're pretty much one of the funniest human beings I've ever met."

Gao Wen calmly accepted this kind of compliment that he didn't know if it was a compliment. He watched the teacup in his hand suddenly turn into a large oak cup decorated with a gold hoop, and filled it with the wonderful, delicious tea that he drank before he drank it. It was a "reflection" drink of Coke, and while he was satisfied, he began to guide the conversation in the direction he had planned at the beginning: "Then let's talk about business-although it is small talk, you also know that we span the whole A piece of ocean to another continent is not just for small talk. I have many questions, and I hope to get answers from you."

"If I can answer——if you know enough about gods, then you should know that gods can't tell everything to mortals. But on the other hand, I'm a special god, so I know more things, and I can answer more things, at least more than that child named Melita."

Gao Wen nodded, and then asked bluntly, "Do you know other gods?"

Dragon God replied casually: "I have some understanding - it is difficult for the gods to communicate with each other, but I can grasp the general situation of some gods through my own way."

Gao Wen then asked: "Then do you know...the God of War believed by mortals in the Loren Continent is abnormal?"

"I know, he is entering the final stage of madness. Although I am not sure when he will cross the critical point, he is very close to that critical point."

Now that the question has been laid out, Gao Wen asked directly: "Is the madness of the God of War really related to the change in the form of war? At the current stage, apart from the change in the form of war and the hidden dangers of the God of War itself, there are other hidden dangers." Is there any factor affecting his madness?"

"The change in the form of war is one of the reasons for accelerating His madness, but it is only one of the reasons. As for the factors other than the change in the form of war and the so-called 'inclination'... Unfortunately, there is no. The balance of the gods is better than mortals imagine. The ones are much more fragile, and these two are enough."

"Then... can this matter be saved?" Gao Wen couldn't help but asked again.

"It's hopeless, prepare for a battle of gods."

Gawain & Amber & Veronica: "..."

"You seem surprised," Dragon God said lightly, "but this is not an answer worthy of surprise."

"I... just didn't expect you to answer so bluntly," Gao Wen didn't know what expression to make, "I thought you would be more tactful..."

"There is no need to be euphemistic," Dragon God replied. "You need an answer, and the answer is not complicated—so I will tell you frankly."

"...Okay, I think I understand your style," Gawain sighed, then rearranged his language, and said, "But do you think that with the strength of mortals, you can really fight against the God of War at this time? "

"...I can't give you an answer on this point, because I can't deduce what state and form God of War will intervene in this world," Dragon God's answer seems to be very frank, as a god who should be omniscient and omnipotent in the eyes of mortals , but here she doesn’t mind admitting that her deduction is limited, “That’s your god, and you have to face it by yourself after all. But I can tell you one thing—at least at this stage, you have a winner.” Chance."

"At this stage..." Gao Wen immediately noticed the key point in Dragon God's answer, and he mused to himself thoughtfully, "Because as time goes by, will the god become more and more powerful... and now, They are not so strong that they are invincible..."

Dragon God heard him talking to himself, and immediately cast a scrutinizing gaze: "I'm surprised—you know more truth than I expected."

Gao Wen calmly met the gaze of the Dragon God, and after a brief moment of weighing in his mind, he said truthfully: "I learned everything from the God of Nature."

The Dragon God fell silent immediately, and her gaze suddenly became extremely deep. She seemed to be in a short and intense thought, and it was not until a few seconds later that he broke the silence softly: "The god of nature... so, he is still there. .”

"From the perspective of the God of Nature, he is no longer there, but from the perspective of Amoen, he is still alive," Gawain nodded, "but he is temporarily imprisoned, and it is estimated that he will be in prison for a long time. It's going to stay that way for a while. He doesn't want to be back for a while—I think so too."

However, the Dragon God seemed to have suddenly become very interested in Amorn's state. For the first time, he began to ask Gao Wen about things: "Amoren maintained himself after leaving the godhood, right?"

Gao Wen is of course willing to answer the other party's questions - in this "conversation" that is essentially unequal, he needs to have as much "conversation capital" as possible to exchange with the gods in front of him, and the initiative to have questions rests with him. In his own hands, it is something he can only wish for: "It seems to be - although I don't know the God of Nature when he was still in the state of God, judging from his current state, apart from being unable to move, his condition is also pretty good."

"It seems that he... He told you a lot of things. As a former god, he seems to have quite a lot of trust in you."

"Maybe it's because there are too few people who can communicate with him," Gao Wen said jokingly, "Even though he has left the position of a god, he is still a 'god' who retains a god body, and not every mortal can walk away. Go to him and talk to him."

Having said that, he noticed that the dragon god seemed to be thinking a little bit, so he took the initiative to stop, waiting for the god to speak.

After a while, Dragon God raised his eyes again, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "It is said that you held a funeral for the goddess of magic."

Gao Wen suddenly coughed lightly: "This...it's true."

"You held ceremonies across the country, you scattered 'holy ash' in front of millions - and you wrote the eulogy for a god yourself."

Gao Wen couldn't help coughing lightly again: "This...it's true. But I did this for a purpose, for..."

But the dragon god interrupted him: "The goddess of magic is actually the same as the god of nature, she is just trying to find a way to get out of the god position—is she?"

Gao Wen felt a little strange, but under the gaze of the dragon god Enya's abyss-like eyes, he finally nodded: "It is indeed so."

The Dragon God was silent for a moment, and suddenly he said to himself as if with a sigh: "Then it seems that he has indeed succeeded..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gao Wen felt that there was some kind of envy in Dragon God's sigh.

He didn't delve into this issue, because his intuition told him that the other party would never answer this question directly.
