The residence of the Dragons - in the writings of bards and playwrights in the continent of Loren, they are like this:

Dragons build their nests in the center of an ancient crater or in the depths of eternal glaciers. Depending on the race, they draw strength from the scorching magma or the cold ice. Sometimes dragons will live in castles or towers, but they rarely build such exquisite residences themselves, but instead occupy the houses of humans or other weak races directly, and many times—almost all—will mess these exquisite, comfortable, rich historical castles, until a brave knight or a lucky adventurer who has gone through the luck of defeating these dragons occupying the castle will end this terrible loss and waste.

——Dorang Jabander, a famous playwright in the Ansu era, described it in his book "Dragon and the Lair".

Gao Wen came to the edge of the "internal balcony", and his upper body slightly poked out of the guardrail, looking down at the scene in the dragon's nest from a high place-

He saw a vast circular hall, supported by exquisite and gorgeous columns, and a kind of alloy structure that humans cannot understand is pieced together in a tightly stitched manner to form the first wall barrier in the hall. On the outer edge of the hall, you can see the dormant mechanical device, busy maintaining equipment and washing the walls, and the decorative light combination. There are also lights from the dome illuminating the center of the hall, which is a silver-white circular platform, and exquisite embossed patterns can be seen on the surface of the platform. The size and exquisite structure can make the most exquisite artists amazed.

He turned his head and looked at the place where he was standing - an internal residence built halfway up the mountain, part of its structure extends into the interior of the mountain, connected to the huge rotunda below, and achieved traffic on all levels through the lifts and corridors inside the mountain, while another part of its structure is out of sight and leads to the exterior of the mountain. Gao Wen has visited once, there is an amazing skylight room where you can bathe in starlight or sunlight, and a beautiful viewing corridor. All windows are controlled by mechanical devices and can be switched or filtered by a command.

Melita calls her "nest" "simple industrial style decoration" - according to her, this style is one of the relatively low-cost ones among the several more popular decoration styles in Tallonde in recent years.

"I wonder how those bards and playwrights in Loren's continent would feel when they see this scene," Gao Wen withdrew his gaze from the direction of the dragon's nest, shook his head and said with a smile, "especially those who are keen on describing the story of the dragon..."

"Most of them won't feel anything - because the best bards and playwrights in the Loren continent's "Dragon Quest" theme are both from Tallond," Melita, standing next to her, said proudly, "We have contributed 80% of the best dragon-themed scripts in the human world in nearly a thousand years..."

Gao Wen glanced at the dragon lady and looked helpless: "So you made rumors like 'the evil dragon lives in the crater'. Don't complain about human beings' fooling around to make up for your living habits."

Melita thought about it and was easily convinced: "Okay, what you said makes sense..."

While saying that, she turned around and walked towards the other end of her internal residence: "Don't stay here, you can only see caves here, and the balcony at the other end is better than here."

"Does your dragon clan's houses be in this form?" Gao Wen followed Melita's footsteps and asked curiously as he walked, "I mean the structure of a large nest with a small residence."

"Most of this is true," said Melita. "We will have a 'dragon nest' that is enough to house our dragon body, and build an exquisite 'little house' inside or next to the dragon nest. The dragon nest allows us to sleep for a long time in the form of dragons or adjust and recuperate our bodies. Small residences are a good choice to enjoy life in the form of humans. Of course... not all dragons are like this."

"Oh?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "There are exceptions?"

"There are some less particular dragon clans who only prepare a 'dragon nest' for themselves. They live and live in the dragon nest. Anyway, our human form is very small compared to the body, and only needs to occupy a small space, so it is enough to arrange it in the dragon nest to meet the needs," Melita explained seriously. "This is what Noreta is - she did not have a 'human living room', but dug a super huge cave in the mountains, much larger than mine."

While speaking, they had passed through the living room and corridor of the interior residence. The interior light controlled by Omega is constantly fine-tuned as the visitors move, so that the place where they see is always at its best brightness.

Hearing Melita's words, Gao Wen opened his eyes wide - every one of the customs and customs of Tallond was so novel and interesting to him. Even how these dragons usually sleep seemed to have become a science to him. He couldn't help asking: "Don't Noreta usually rest in human form?"

Melita shrugged: "She built a large bed of more than 1,000 square meters in the center of her dragon's nest - it took a long time to run from the center of the bed to the edge of the bed, but the advantage is that both the dragon and human form are comfortable to sleep."

Gao Wen: "…"

Melita glanced at him curiously: "Why are you not talking?"

Gao Wen spread his hands laughed and cried: "...I just suddenly felt... your dragon clan's living habits are really 'free'."

At the same time, he had another sigh in his heart: Why does this setting of putting a large bed of 1,000 square meters in the center of the bedroom sound so familiar...

Melita didn't know what Gao Wen was thinking. She was just inspired by this topic. After a moment of silence, she continued: "Of course, there is a third situation."

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment: "The third situation?"

They walked through the inner residence and came to the balcony facing the outside of the mountain. The open floor-to-ceiling viewing windows had been adjusted to a transparent mode. From this height and angle, they could clearly see the large area of ​​urban buildings at the foot of the mountain and the bright lights emitted by the giant factory complex in the distance.

Melita stood on the edge of the balcony and looked into the direction of the city: "Some dragons only have a residence where they can rest in human form, and they live in it most of the time in human form."

Gaowen frowned immediately, but before he could even ask questions, Veronica, who had walked nearby, spoke for him: "What should they do with their 'original'? As far as I know, although you can live in human form, you always need to release the original body to eat or trim..."

"There are special 'restaurants' for eating. If the implant in the body is in trouble, you can go to a maintenance center or a private repair shop. In addition, the dragon tribe does not need to maintain the dragon form for a very long time. If you put away the body, you can save space and your own physical strength."

The more Gao Wen listened, the more strange he felt. At this time, he finally couldn't help asking: "What kind of dragon clan would choose this lifestyle?"

"Poor Dragon," said Melita, "or it was judged by Omega that they were not capable enough to play their value in the upper Tallond, and therefore could only live in the plains and the lower town."

Gao Wen was finally stunned: "You Tallond have poor people... poor dragons?"

"How could it not be?" Melita sighed, "We have not been able to build an average and infinitely rich society, so there must be upper and lower classes. But poverty is relative, and from the perspective of the overall society - do you see the most densely-lit areas of the city? They live there, living a "uncomprehensible poor life" from a human perspective. The Senate will allocate houses to those citizens for free, and even provide all the living needs. Omega will open almost all the access to entertainment for them, and their monthly synergists are also free of charge, and there are even some hallucinogens that are not allowed to be sold in the upper areas.

"They have everything, and the Tallond society will support them all, and as a condition or price of all this, the lower class citizens can only accept this kind of support, and have no other choice. They engage in limited, essentially meaningless work, cannot interfere in the affairs of the upper class Tallond, and many other limitations that are not easy to understand in human society."

Gao Wen frowned, and Amber's voice suddenly came from the side: "It sounds like... I don't have to work, have a house to live in, have no worries about food and clothing, and have plenty of entertainment. Why do I feel good?"

Melita turned her head and looked at the half-elves who were showing a tangled and thoughtful look. A smile suddenly appeared on her face: "So, this is 'poverty' that humans in Loren's continent cannot understand."

"I can understand," Gao Wen suddenly said, "to develop to your level, it is no longer difficult to survive. The Tallong society can easily support a large ‘production-free population’, and the cost of spending only a small part of your total social expenditure. On the contrary, if these members of society are to enter the job and obtain the same job and promotion opportunities as other tribesmen, it will incur huge costs, because these members of the "low-capacity" tribes will destroy your current efficient production structure.

"So, instead of taking on this waste, it's better to support them directly - anyway, it's not expensive for you."

Amber widened his eyes and listened to Gao Wen's interpretation, as if he could not understand the scene he was depicting for a moment. Veronica looked at Gao Wen thoughtfully, as if she had thought about this kind of thing, and Melita looked shocked and surprised. She looked up and down several times before frowned with an incredible expression: "You...had you thought of these so quickly?"

"Occasionally, inspiration burst out," Gao Wen smiled, "You know, I'm good at social deduction."

"...This has gone beyond the scope of social deduction," Melita said in a weird tone. "If it had not developed to a certain level, this should have been abnormal in humans."

"I haven't done a few things that fit common sense since I'm resurrection," Gao Wen said casually, and did not let the topic continue. "No matter what... it seems that I have learned another unknown detail in Tallond."

Melita fell silent for a moment, and after a few seconds she let out: "How is the rest? Are you interested in going out for a walk with me now?"

"Are we going to 'visit' from now on?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "Or just take a walk with you?"

"There is no difference between walking and visiting. There are so many things to show you," said Melita. "The current time corresponds to the time when Cecil City should be just at dusk, but it is actually a good time to go out and hang out."

"I don't think it's a problem," Gao Wen said immediately, and looked at Amber and Veronica.

"I have no objection!" Amber jumped up immediately, "I'm so sleepy!"

Veronica also nodded gently, expressing no objection.

Melita smiled and said, "Very good, then I'll send a message to Noreta and let's go and see Tallond after dusk."

Gao Wen nodded, then asked curiously: "Where are you planning to take us to visit?"

"You have been in the upper area of ​​Tallond for half a day today. You must have seen enough facilities like the headquarters of the review team and the upper temple," said Melita slowly. "Then I will take you to the middle and lower levels of Tallond to see. We will go to the factory area and the large enterprise consortium, and then to the lower area of ​​the plains - if Noreta agrees, maybe we can go to the dark city. The Speaker asked me to take you to visit every place in Tallond, but we don't think it's possible to visit the entire continent in a few days, so go to a few representative places... Let you see the complete and real dragon kingdom."

Then, Gao Wen and Melita came to a platform outside the dragon's nest. This wide platform built on the hillside can be used for dragons to take off and land. In a sense, it is considered the "doorway" of Melita's family.

They waited at the edge of the platform for a short while, and the sharp-eyed amber suddenly saw a slender and elegant white dragon flying from the southwest sky and landing smoothly in the center of the platform.

"Hi! Noreta!!" Melita immediately greeted her happily after her friend stopped, "You are here very quickly..."

As soon as she was halfway through her words, the white dragon that had just stopped suddenly seemed to stagger. The huge dragon claws moved two steps on the platform. The next second, he was stunned by Gao Wen and others, and even stepped on Melita's head with some horror gaze...

Strictly speaking, it was the entire agent lady who stepped on her.

If this is a human, the legendary one will definitely be either dead or disabled.

But the next second Gao Wen heard Melita's scream coming from under the dragon's claws, still sounding full of energy: "Noretta! You did it on purpose this time!!"

"I'm not standing firm," said the white dragon with his head down and his voice rumbling, "You know, I'm not very adaptable to your landing platform."

"It's all excuses!" Melita continued to scream and crawled out of the dragon's feet in a mess. The gracefulness and steadiness that had been maintained in front of Gao Wen for a long time finally did not leave at all. "I remember, now you'll step on me once more!"

The two friends seemed to interact very enthusiastically, but Gao Wen, Amber, and Veronica were stunned when they looked at each other from a distance.

After a long time, Gao Wen couldn't help but grab his hair.

This trip to Tallongde was really worth it - he saw the unknown side of the Dragon Clan again.
