Chapter 1108 Why is it an egg
Hetty recalled carefully. This was the first time she had seen such a shocking and wonderful expression on the other person's face since she met her ancestors in the years. It seemed like a very fun thing to see the always serious and steady ancestor who was so scared by her. But Hetty was not Rebecca who didn't get into the house for three days, so he quickly suppressed the trouble in his heart, and coughed twice to pull the atmosphere back: "You..."
"I'll sort it out later... and sort it out," Gao Wen subconsciously waved his hand, and then pressed his beating forehead. "Betty has been watering the egg these two days... The child usually does something that others can't understand, but she probably won't... Forget it, go and call Betty, I'll ask what's going on. By the way, is there any change in that egg?"
"Nothing changed," Hetty thought for a while, and suddenly felt a little ashamed. During the days when her ancestors left, she devoted almost all her energy to the work of the Government Affairs Department, and ignored the "housework" that happened under her nose. This subconscious negligence may not be a big deal in the eyes of the ancestors, but it is really a mistake to think about it carefully. "The incubation room is implementing a strict inspection system, and people confirm the status of the dragon egg three times every day. Betty's strange behavior did not have any impact..."
Hetty hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't say the sentence "It's just a bit pickled and delicious recently."
Gao Wen's lips shook: "...Let's call Betty over first, and then I'll go to the hatching room to see it myself."
Just a moment later, Betty, who was busy on the second floor, was called to Gao Wen by the bell. The maid seemed in a good mood because today was the day when Gao Wen finally returned home, but she also seemed a little confused - because she couldn't understand why she was suddenly called. After all, according to the rules of the ritual that she had finally recorded, she had led the servants and servants to hold a welcoming ceremony at the door, and the next time she accepted the summons would theoretically be an hour later.
Looking at Betty standing in front of him with no idea what was going on, Gao Wen suddenly felt a little amused and cried. He kept watching the girl grow up, watching her read books, learn spelling and calculations, and to watch her go from a kitchen maid who knows nothing to a royal maid. This country girl who was once thin and slow due to malnutrition has indeed grown up, but compared to those who stand at the same height in theory, she is still not outstanding, and even clumsy, and she will have some unexpected actions because of her brain suddenly get stuck - but even so, everyone here still likes her very much.
This is a simple and straightforward child. She probably has no long-term ideas when doing anything. She just tried hard to do something well. Although she messed up a little, she has indeed made more and more progress over the years.
"Betty," Gao Wen's face calmed down with a faint smile, "I heard about something... Have you often visited the hatching room recently to visit that dragon egg?"
Betty nodded, admitting it with great pleasure.
"And you often water that egg?" Gao Wen kept smiling, but his expression couldn't help but be weird when he said this, "Someone even saw you chatting with that egg?"
Betty's expression finally changed a little. She did not respond to Gao Wen at the first time, but showed a hesitant and distressed look, which surprised Gao Wen and Hetty on the side - but before Gao Wen asked the reason, the maid seemed to have made up her mind, nodding vigorously and said, "I am pouring tea for Ms. Enya-and she hopes I can chat with her..."
While speaking, the little maid was thinking hard: Although Ms. Enya once said not to tell these things, the agreement at that time seemed to mention that she should not say it for the time being before the master comes back. Now that the master comes back... it should be possible to say it? Of course, this may be because she remembered it wrongly, but there is no way, the master has asked...
This simple-minded girl doesn't want to lie to Gao Wen.
Gao Wen fell into a short period of surprise again. After clarifying the information revealed in Betty's words, he immediately realized that this matter was different from what he imagined - how could Betty know the name Enya!? She was chatting with Enya?!
He suddenly stood up from the sofa: "We'll go to the hatching room, now!"
...
The sound of rapid footsteps came from the corridor, and the footsteps were accompanied by several clearly identifiable breaths. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the hatching room was dispersed. A very slight sigh came from the light golden dome located in the center of the room, accompanied by a smile to himself: "Are you back... I thought you could have a few more days of leisure."
The door of the hatching room was pushed open from outside, and Gao Wen, Hetty and Betty appeared outside the door. They widened their eyes and looked at the room with a faint rune glory, looking at the huge dragon egg standing in the center of the room - the halo of the dragon egg on the surface wandered, and the mysterious and ancient runes appeared and disappeared from time to time. Everything seemed very normal, except for a newspaper floating in front of the dome, and was turning to the next page in front of everyone...
Hetty widened his eyes, Gao Wen's expression was a little stiff, and Betty happily stepped forward and said hello: "Ms. Eunya! Are you reading the newspaper again?"
The door of the hatching room was closed, and Gao Wen came to the golden dome with an unprecedented strange expression. A familiar gentle female voice came from the inside of the dome: "Long time no see, my friend."
"So we have been friends after the last conversation?" Gao Wen said subconsciously.
While talking, he couldn't help but look up and down at the "dragon egg". "It" looked almost no different from the last time he saw it, but I don't know if it was an illusion, but he could always smell a faint smell floating from the lower half of the eggshell. The smell was fragrant, but not a supernatural smell, but more like the tea he used to drinking on weekdays...
"A heart-to-heart conversation is enough to establish a preliminary friendship, and in my long memory, the conversation with you should be the heart-to-heart one." While Gao Wen was thinking in his heart, the voice in the golden dome had sounded again, "What? Isn't you happy to be friends with me?"
"This...isn't it," Gao Wen shook his head with a strange expression. I wonder if he should smile at this moment. Countless speculations were ups and downs in his heart, and finally formed some vague answers. At the same time, his mood gradually settled down and tried to find the initiative in his words. "I just didn't expect to meet you again under this situation... So, are you really Enya? The gods of the Dragon Clan Eunya?"
"The gods of the Dragon Clan have died, died with crazy divinity, buried in the border outside the sky, only Enya is here - Enya as human nature," said softly in the golden dome voice, "I really didn't expect to meet you again in this situation. In fact... I didn't even expect this bold plan to be realized."
Divine…humanity…bold plan…
Gao Wen suddenly had some enlightenment in his heart. His eyes were deep, and he stared at the golden dome like he was staring at a bottomless deep pool: "So, the god-killing war that happened in Tallond is part of your plan? You used this method to kill the divine that was about to be completely out of control, and let the human part of yourself survive in this form..."
"I made my biggest adventure since I was conscious, but this was not my most primitive plan - in the most primitive plan, I didn't plan to let myself survive," Enya said in a plain tone, "I have known the children's thoughts for a long time ago... Although they tried their best to suppress their thoughts and language, those thoughts rippled in the deepest part of the thoughts, just like the brilliance that the children could not hold back in their eyes when they were ready to move. How could they hide it from experienced mothers? I know that this day will come after all... In fact, I have been looking forward to its arrival...
"But I cannot disobey my own rules and can't take the initiative to loosen the chains, so the only thing I can do is to leave some gaps for them in an extremely narrow range, or turn a blind eye to certain things. So if this is a 'plan', it is actually mainly the plan of the dragon clans. The thing I do the most in this plan... is to do nothing in most cases."
Gao Wen frowned slightly, and thought while listening, and couldn't help but say, "But you still didn't say how you survived... You just said that in the most primitive plan, you didn't plan to survive."
"Thank you," Enya chuckled, with a sincere gratitude in her tone, "the things you told me have brought me a lot of inspiration."
"What I told you?" Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Are you talking about the upper narrators... and the god of nature and the like?"
"There have been many civilizations in this world, countless mortal kingdoms, and countless mortal heroes. They have either a rebellious character, a thought that makes the gods look at each other, or have talent and courage beyond theory. When facing the gods, these people have various reactions, some are awe, some are disdainful, and some hate... But no matter which one is different, they are different from you," Enya said slowly, the topic seemed to be far away, but what they said made people think deeply, "Yes, you are different. When facing the gods, you neither respect nor retreat, nor even likes or dislikes- you do not regard God as God at all, and your perspective is higher than that.
“You see God as a simple ‘phenomenon’ or even ‘object’, and you calmly want to find the logic behind this phenomenon, and you take it for granted, as if you are trying to unravel a formula with a clear answer.
"Based on this perspective, you introduce a variable that has never appeared in the mortal mind, which will guide mortals to objectively view divinity and human nature, quantify and analyze it.
"In our last conversation, I... borrowed a little bit of this variable, borrowed the perspective of your view of the problem and the effects that this perspective could produce, and thus gained the ability to accurately cut one's divinity and humanity.
"I'm sorry, I didn't ask your consent in advance and did not explain this to you after that, because I'm worried that this will lead to unpredictable changes in the situation. I hope you don't think it's a fraud."
After listening to Enya's confession, Gao Wen suddenly had a deeper feeling about the "transcendent" side of the gods. These existences that originate from imagination and transcend imagination can actually do such things - obtain a new "thinking angle" in verbal conversations, and turn this "thinking angle" into its own controllable ability... Is this the so-called ultimate utopian power?
His thoughts fluctuated, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled inadvertently and said, "No need to apologize. Now it seems that this has led to a good result, so I don't mind - it's just that I'm a little curious, what is the principle of your ability to 'cut down' divine and human nature?"
The golden dome calmed down and broke the silence a few seconds later: "Such curiosity is really a question you will ask. But unfortunately, I can't explain it to you, and even if I can explain it, this ability is useless. After all, not all gods have lived for more than one million years, and not all gods have undergone a great fusion.
"My 'cutting' of myself is based on my own special state, because 'gods' themselves are a concept of 'stitching', and those gods who have not been stitched...apart from experiencing a 'death' like the upper narrators, where divinity and human nature have been split, it is best not to rashly try 'cutting', and choose a more gradual and safer way."
"What happens when cutting rashly?" Gao Wen asked subconsciously.
"...I just cut myself to death."
Gao Wen opened his mouth, a little embarrassed: "That sounds quite serious."
Then he thought about it for a while and couldn't help asking: "Then you have returned to this world in the form of 'humanity'... What should you do with Tallond? Do you want to talk to them? You are now purely human and in theory it shouldn't have a bad impact on them anymore."
The golden dome was silent. After thinking for a longer time than any previous silence, she finally spoke: "The mythical era of the dragon clan has ended, and there is no need to let a ghost of the past entangle the dragons that have finally gained freedom. Moreover, considering the complexity of the hearts of all people, even if I return to the public of Tallongd in the form of ‘humanity’, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no unexpected changes in thought among them... For the time being, at least temporarily, before the dragon clans completely get rid of the shadow of the past and prepare for the new era, don't let them know about this.
"Of course, you can tell a small number of dragon clans responsible for managing Tallond affairs. They should be able to better plan social development after knowing the truth and avoid some potential dangers - and responsibility will keep them secrets. The dragon clan has always been trustworthy in keeping secrets."
"I understand. I will find an opportunity to tell Tarrond's upper class about you," Gao Wen nodded, and then couldn't help but look at Enya's round shape at the moment. He couldn't suppress his curiosity, "I still want to ask... Why is this an egg?"
