Chapter 1090： Show off (1/2)
The giant dragon descended from the sky, and its wings swept across the sky like a banner covering the sky and the sun.
This is a creature in a legend. Since the historical records of mortal countries, the topic of giant dragons has always been an important part of various legends and even myths, and they are not just legends-all kinds of authenticity are difficult to distinguish. The sighting reports and the unexplained "Dragon's Traces" left around the world seem to indicate that these powerful creatures actually exist in the world, and they have been hovering on the edge of the known world, paying attention to the world with a certain purpose. development of.
Therefore, from the respected occult masters to the bards who play and sing on the streets, from analyzing the absurd stories spread by the people to studying the primitive scrolls of royal records day and night, all kinds of people are studying with their own perspectives and methods. With the secrets behind these sky masters, they tried to find tangible evidence of the existence of dragons, and even tried to communicate with these powerful and mysterious creatures for their own purposes-but these efforts ultimately failed.
The fact is that since the history of civilization, no force has really come into contact with these dragons, and no one has even publicly proven the existence of dragons.
Until today, the dragon has really come.
And it's specially for meetings...
The situation is so bizarre that it even surpasses the imagination of the bards who specialize in making up dragon stories. I am afraid that even the most outrageous playwrights dare not put such scripts on stage, but all this is on everyone's eyes. It happened underneath, and the impact it brought was so great that the representatives at the scene didn’t even know for a moment whether they should exclaim or applaud, and whether this scene was shocking or absurd—but just In this bewildered state, they missed the opportunity to stand up and applaud. The dragons that descended from the sky had landed on the open ground outside the oath stone ring.
In the interlaced light curtains, the dragons turned into human forms, and walked to the empty seat under the stone pillar in front of the dumbfounded representatives. The scene was quiet and weird, so that the first applause When it sounded, the sound was particularly abrupt inside the stone ring, but after all, people gradually reacted, and there was a voice of applause and welcome in the venue.
Wenna Baizhi woke up from the shock. She first glanced at the giant dragons transformed into human forms, and then at the representatives of the various countries around them. After thinking about it, she whispered to the friends beside her: "It seems that many people's plans have been disrupted... Except for the three empires, there is no longer any initiative."
"Look at the situation..." Camilla finally reacted from the shock. The orc leader shook his head, "It turned out to be a dragon...I can't understand the situation that has changed."
Wenna nodded slightly, and then she felt magical waves rising from the stone pillars in all directions-a nearly transparent energy shield formed between the stone pillars, and quickly closed over the venue, the wind from the wilderness Being blocked by the shield, there is a warm and comfortable airflow flowing gently inside the stone ring.
Everyone quickly understood: With the arrival of the last representative, the next process has begun. No matter how curious they are about the dragons that suddenly came to the venue, this matter must be put aside temporarily.
After a while, Gawain’s voice sounded in the venue. With the help of the magical effect surrounding the entire stone ring, his voice clearly and powerfully spread to every corner: "Welcome our most distant guests here. ——Welcome every friend who is sitting here at this moment. Now that the staff is ready, our meeting has officially begun."
The applause rang out, and then quickly subsided, followed by a short and not very nutritious opening statement-as the first initiator of this meeting, Gao Wen introduced the background of the meeting and the participating countries in simple sentences The situation and the main topics of this meeting, and the content of these stylized introductions have been known to everyone on the spot, and now it is just a cutscene.
When this indispensable cutscene was over, Gawain suddenly stopped, his gaze swept across the audience, and everyone’s attention quickly concentrated. It was only a few seconds later that Gawain broke the silence again: "I think Everyone has noticed one thing, that is that our venue is a bit special this time. We are not in a safe and comfortable city, but in this desolate wilderness. Maybe some people will feel uncomfortable because of this, maybe some people have already guessed it. For the purpose of the arrangement, I will not continue to play dumb puzzles here.
"It is my decision to arrange the venue in the wilderness. The purpose is actually very simple: I just want you to take a good look here."
His voice fell, and a deep buzzing sound suddenly sounded from around the venue. Then, in the eyes of all the representatives who were a little surprised, the surface of the towering primitive stone pillars suddenly appeared bright, and the light curtain after another The tops of the stone pillars were slanted and illuminated. In the interlacing of light and shadow, large-area holographic projections lit up one after another. In the blink of an eye, the space between each stone pillar around the oath stone ring was filled-the entire conference hall was suddenly illuminated. Surrounded by magical illusions, only the sky directly above remained the same as the real world, and on those holographic projections, there were images of depression and devastation that made everyone feel depressed.
The decayed and mutated twisted dense forest, the dark compacted and corroded ground, the filthy clouds that entangled the sky, the roaring radioactive storm, the aberrant giants wandering in the distance, and some vaguely visible buildings that were once buildings, but now only left The ruins of the jagged skeleton...
Many people got up in consternation and looked around. Some people sat on the spot forcibly calmly, but couldn't help frowning when looking at the images, and more people quickly calmed down and they appeared thoughtful. , Until Gao Wen’s voice sounded in the venue again: “For the representatives from the Four Kingdoms and other areas around the wasteland, these sights may not be too unfamiliar, but for those living on the outer edge of the mainland. , These things may be more like some kind of bad dreamland woven by an illusionist. They look like hell-but unfortunately, this is the world we live in and the things around us."
A part of the holographic projection at the edge of the conference hall faded away, and what appeared at the end of the wide field of vision between the stone pillars was the magnificent wall in the direction of the Gangdor Wasteland.
"These images are from real shots, collected by Cecil, Typhon, and the Border Sentinel of the Silver Empire at great risk. Some of them are distant views in the wasteland of Gondor, and some are from the foot of the magnificent wall. Next, it comes from an area that theoretically belongs to a “safe zone”, but has actually been severely corroded in the past few centuries. You, before officially starting to discuss the benefits of joining the alliance, before considering how to distribute the benefits, arguing about us Before the seats, markets, traditions, and contradictions, we need to take a look at these things first, and get a good understanding of what kind of world we live in. Only in this way can all of us stay awake and make things in a awake state. Judge correctly.
"The magnificent wall was led by the Silver Empire hundreds of years ago and built by the nations of the mainland. It has stood for seven centuries. Many of us may have forgotten this wall as the years change. The existence of has also forgotten how much we paid for the construction of this wall. Many of us live in safe areas far away from the wasteland. If it were not for the purpose of attending this conference, these people might not have lived their lives. Coming here-but the wasteland will not disappear because of forgetting. The things that threaten the survival of all mortals are part of the natural laws of this world. It will always exist and wait for when we relax our vigilance.
"What's worse, is that the world threatens our survival far more than a piece of Gondor wasteland, and even far more than another demonic wave."
