Rebecca's chirping and cheerful voice was still ringing next to her, but Maggie just smiled and looked down at the joysticks with various functions, slightly simple instruments and rune disks.

These joysticks and instrument panels have been kept in mind by her over the days, and she is so familiar with them that even with her eyes closed, she can accurately find any buttons and levers in front of the driver's seat.

Tyre, who had been fighting against the Sandman next to him for a long time, also came over. Miss Siren saw that she was finally ready to take off, and seemed to have boosted her spirits. She raised her head and looked at Maggie sitting in the cockpit. Her tail tip poked on the ground next to her: "Don't forget to take a photo after going up-of-of course, if it crashed all at once, then protect yourself first..."

Before he finished speaking, several technicians next to him rushed forward and dragged the sirens who could not speak aside.

Maggie smiled and watched it all.

She felt the rune module and mechanical device below her body tremble slightly, and she could feel the huge and complex machine awakening little by little.

Steel, crystal, magic materials, leather, wood, cloth... These lifeless substances are combined into a complex shell in the skillful hands of humans. The dragon that cannot take off sits in this complex shell, ready to use it to fly into the blue sky.

The shell should be something that gives people a sense of security, but this layer of "shell" has only dangers in the experiments so far, just like the state of most new technologies in the experimental stage: it is unstable, full of defects, and full of problems that technicians cannot predict, and it is not safe at all.

When it was a small-scale prototype, the anti-gravity ring of this "aircraft" had lost control more than once. The verification-type anti-gravity rings destroyed the walls and roofs of the laboratory and burned the rune substrate on the test bench. As the project went into the later stage, the small-scale verification model became a large-scale test machine, and the entire project was transferred to the "special laboratories" in the suburbs and tested on this open field.

The surrounding technicians had retreated. Maggie closed the cover of the cockpit and then pressed the main joystick in front of her. The power ridge that had been preheated and charged began to release magic power to the anti-gravity ring, and a stronger tremor came from under her.

After relocating the test site, the project did not threaten the unrelated people around, but the risks faced by those participating in the test were still very high, especially the test flight personnel.

The verification anti-gravity device and the explored "Dragon Wing" device are both unstable, and this is especially true when combined. For humans without wings, it is a great but overly risky move to hand over themselves to a test machine and use these simple equipment to challenge the blue sky.

Of course, testers can choose a mage who has mastered the flying technique, so that at least when the machine crashes, they still have the chance to return to the ground safely with their own strength. However, as a test aircraft, the problems faced by this aircraft are much more than just crashing - problems such as air explosions, maneuver loss, and magical rampage will also put mages who have mastered the flying technique in danger of their lives.

Maggie believed that Rebecca and the technical team she led would be fearless even if they face these challenges, but she volunteered to stand up and serve as a test flight staff.

As a giant dragon, she is very strong and has a high resistance to various magical damage. Even if the aircraft explodes, she has the chance to survive. As for falling in the air - although she cannot take off on the ground with her own strength, she can at least glide and land in the shape of a dragon during the fall. There is no doubt that she is the most suitable test flight attendant for Cecil.

In the past few test flights, she had "crashed" like this three times - once she was seriously injured. If the test was not a human-shaped dragon like her but an ordinary human, then this project has claimed at least three lives.

Maggie took a deep breath, calmed down her slightly nervous mood, then grabbed the main joystick located in the center of the console and pulled it up slightly.

Under the inverted cone anti-gravity aircraft, countless runes on the surface of the metal anti-gravity ring suddenly lit up, and a low buzzing sound came from the ring and the inside of the vertebrae. As some gravel and gravel near the machine gradually floated and rose into the air, the aircraft, temporarily named "Dragonist", broke away from the ground bit by bit and began to slowly rise in a stable posture.

"The anti-gravity ring output is stable, the power ridge is stable, the dragon wing device is stable, and the magic wing plate is normal," Maggie glanced at the console, reported the situation with familiarity, and continued to pull the pull rod upward, "I'm going to start to accelerate and rise."

The upward speed of the aircraft began to gradually accelerate. The half-moon magic wing plates on both sides slowly unfolded under the action of mechanical devices and extended to the sides into a plane. The "dragon wings" on both sides of the cockpit were stretched out at the same time. The light blue dragon wing runes lit up one after another, flashing glimmer.

This time it will definitely succeed - it is smoother than any other time.

Maggie swept the "dragon wing" devices on both sides of the cockpit from the corner of her eyes. In a trance, she felt that the metal wings made of the giant dragon's wings seemed to have become an extension of her body. She held the joystick tightly, as if she could feel the heartbeat of the machine. She felt the air flowing outside, and felt the wings stretching in the wind. She felt... the sky summoning herself.

She took off and flew higher and higher.

The ground reference objects on both sides of the cockpit were sinking, and the observation window below the front of the cockpit had opened. She saw that the huge signs on the ground of the test site were away from her, so she gently pushed the joystick and everything in her vision began to retreat.

Maggie smiled happily.

Rebecca raised his head and saw some shimmer particles radiating from the wings on both sides of the "Dragonist". Then the heavy machine was like a light bird, accelerating through the sky.

She still remembers that the aircraft crashed at this point during the last test - the dragon wing structure caused a fatal tremor when changing its propulsion method, the body torn, the dynamic ridge was imbalanced, and it plummeted from hundreds of meters above the altitude. Maggie thrilled and turned into a dragon-shaped gliding landing in mid-air, and the wreckage of the aircraft fell on the clearing ground at the edge of the test field, destroying a magic monitoring tower.

By the way, he killed Tyre, who was sleeping in under the tower in the sun.

The scene at that time was really shocking - especially when many technicians on the scene didn't know that the Siren race could be resurrected, it really caused a lot of trouble.

"Flying up..." Rebecca raised her head, and muttered softly with some thoughts in her mind.

"And it doesn't look like it will fall..." Tyre also raised his head, and his tail tip poked on the ground. "Last time I was really scared. I was asleep, and I heard a loud 'clang' sound, and when I opened my eyes, I soaked in the Baishui River..."

Rebecca: "…"

Maggie's heart was thrilling, but her hands were more stable than ever.

She held the joystick tightly - the fluctuations of the airflow, the adjustment of the posture of the aircraft, and the subtle touch that the dragon wings fed back. These incredible feelings were transmitted through the conduction of metal, and through the conduction of these joysticks, and finally passed to her hands, giving her a sense of embracing the sky.

Although there was a layer of shell made of steel and other materials in the middle of this real feeling, she was already satisfied with it like never before.

She saw the farmland passing far below her, and saw the small spires and houses that looked like models retreating in her sight, and she had no doubt about what Rebecca had promised.

The dragon yearns for the sky after all.

But the dragons of the Holy Dragon Principality were born not allowed to fly - even if a few of them had relatively healthy wings, they were forbidden to approach the sky.

Because genetic defects are a serious sin, the exiles will repay this serious sin for generations. The deformed wings are not worthy of embracing the sky, which is a blasphemy to the sky.

But how can creatures born with wings resist the urge to fly?

Almost every year, there are young dragons who can't help but challenge the taboo. Even if their deformed wings cannot take off, they are willing to use gliding to take off for a short time. On the Dragon Leap Cliff, rebels secretly jump down every year. Except for a few lucky people, some other dragons will be captured by the patrol cavalry of the Dragon Blood Lord, some will fall seriously injured after the terrible gliding due to lack of experience, and some will...

He will choose to sport his wings with all his strength, glide from Longyue Cliff to the boundary, and fly into the human world.

Maggie smiled happily, pulled the lever hard and flew towards the sky.

If you still have a chance to go back, you must advise those friends to try this.

It's countless times more fun than gliding!

Maggie can't help but start looking forward to another "embracing the sky" that Rebecca promised.

What would the Wings of Steel... look like?

...

Govin, who returned to Cecil City, immediately attracted Veronica/Ophelia who happened to visit the Magic Arsenal in the city.

The bright sunshine shone into the spacious study room, and Veronica, holding a platinum scepter, walked into the room with a calm expression. The sunshine shone on her light golden hair, and the light rippled slightly, making it difficult to tell whether this halo was the holy light lingering around her.

In front of Gao Wen, the ancient disobedient man lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, have you summoned me?"

Gao Wen nodded, and when he raised his head, he noticed the platinum scepter in Veronica's hand.

Before talking about the serious matter, he couldn't help but remember another thing he mentioned when talking to Bell Tira:

The bridge between man and God, the phenomenon of "chain" caused by faith in the same goal.

Platinum Scepter, another name is "The Bridge between Man and God".

Gao Wen had known the name for a long time, but it was not until he talked to Belltila that he realized that this "bridge" had another possible meaning.

"...Did that scepter really establish a connection between man and God?" he asked in a deep voice.

Veronica lowered her eyelids slightly: "Yes, of course."

“…It should be difficult to control this 'chain'.”

Veronica raised her head in surprise. She looked at Gao Wen's deep gaze and seemed to have a smile: "It seems that you have a deeper understanding of the gods."

"In the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain, the place where all things finally die, the battle between the power of the false gods and the power of mortals gave birth to a huge plant, whose body is a high-level priest of the Immortals, and also my old acquaintance, Belltira," said Gao Wen slowly, "from her, I learned some knowledge about disobedients and gods."

“…The harvest is often unexpected.”

"It's true," Gowen nodded, "Do you have any impression of the names Firna Baishuang and Lerna Baishuang?"

Veronica's calm expression was obviously still for a moment.

Then she said, "What a long-lost name... Did you hear it from that Belltila?"

"Since you know, it seems that this information is correct - for the past hundreds of years, the two elves, Firna Baishuang and Lerna Baishuang, were important members of the Death Society of All Things. If I guess correctly, they should be what we have discussed..."

"The 'ghost' of disobedient plan..." Veronica said softly, "Yes, Baishuang Gemini are disobedient people. I know them, but I really didn't expect that they have been hiding in the society of the demise of all things for so many years, and they are actually moving in human society."

"Tell them about them," Gao Wen nodded. "If my intelligence is accurate, then the elf sisters are likely to be alive. After escaping the destruction of Gondor, they escaped the destruction of the destruction of all things. They are likely to continue to move and may become a threat."
