The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 739 - 577: The Story of the Dragon Mother and the Airship

Gabriel felt a heavy sense of responsibility: "Your Excellency, Dragon Mother, are you facing any difficulties? I can help you!"

The Dragon Mother sneered coldly: "If you have the ability to come in, then we’ll talk about other things!"

Testing my strength?

Gabriel smiled proudly: "Then, Your Excellency, Dragon Mother, I have come in!"

——System notice: You have activated the Dream Divine Artifact "Dreamy Icarus Wings," your strength has greatly increased.

——System notice: You have activated the Dream Divine Artifact "Illusionary Tower of Tassos Ring"...

——System notice: You have activated the Dream Divine Artifact "Oineiros Cloak"...

——System notice: You have activated the Dream Divine Artifact "Mind-Reader’s Mirror of Morpheus"...

With the activation of the four Dream Divine Artifacts, Gabriel’s strength multiplied several times over, effortlessly breaking through the mist and entering.

The Dragon Mother was astonished: "You..."

Gabriel really enjoyed this powerful feeling, so he simply activated the ultimate Divine Artifact, completely making her submit! Of course, it was also because there was never an opportunity to use these Divine Artifacts, so taking this chance, he would indulge no matter what.

——System notice: You have activated the Dream Divine Artifact "Gospel Descending on the Right Seat of God"!

Beneath Gabriel appeared a majestic yet merciful white throne. The entire throne emitted a white-hot radiance like the sun descending into the deep sea, and the resistance of the clouds and mist transformed into steam, burning and dissipating.

The Dragon Mother’s tone turned extremely shocked: "You..."

Gabriel was highly satisfied; this was the reaction he wanted!

The next moment, the clouds and mist scattered, revealing a spherical space before him.

Gabriel sat in the chair, landing into the space like a spaceship, into a circular valley. Above the valley was a fortress with clearly visible airship docks and other facilities like elevators.

——System notice: You have entered the dream consciousness space of Dragon Mother Astaya.

Sariel was taken aback: "Where is this? Under the jurisdiction of my Silver City, there are no such villages or fortresses!"

Michael said gravely: "It seems the Empire is making significant moves..."

At this point, the Dragon Mother Astaya’s tone noticeably softened: "I am in the cave under the fortress, unable to come out to greet you."

Gabriel, guiding the Divine Throne, floated into the cave, illuminating the entire cavern with white light as if carrying its own lighting.

Then he saw it, a giant dragon with its limbs and neck bound by thick chains, tubes inserted into its head, and chains piercing through its ribs. It had no wings, with clear cut marks where the wings should have been!

Such magnificence, yet in such a tragic state, it drew exclamations from the chat group!

Gabriel cried out in shock: "Your Excellency, how did you end up like this? Where is this place?"

The Dragon Mother sullenly replied: "I lost a battle a hundred years ago, and was imprisoned here by humans to extract my blood and eggs. As for where this is, I don’t know either."

Gabriel asked in shock: "Where were you a hundred years ago?"

The Dragon Mother said: "My tribe was in the Mithril Mountains by the sea. Later, some ships of humans came, and among them were some demons disguised as humans."

Raphael laughed: "Seems like it’s the same story as Gabriel’s Oak City, where the locals had to be eliminated to build the city."

Sariel got anxious: "It’s entirely different! Oak City flourished after capturing the Divine Tree, benefiting the whole city. But my Silver City captured this dragon, and I had no information or any benefits!"

Michael said: "It wasn’t Silver City that captured it; it was the Empire."

Gabriel looked up and down at the size of this giant dragon, finding it hard to believe: "From my perspective, even if there were demons in the human Pioneer Corps, it seems unlikely they could defeat you, right?"

The Dragon Mother replied sullenly: "Actually, I voluntarily yielded the Mithril Mountains for the sake of my offspring and moved inland, but I was still found. Then they launched a sneak attack while I was sleeping."

Gabriel finally remembered to ask about the important matter: "Did you destroy an airship and take something from it?"

The Dragon Mother thought for a moment: "Yes, my tribe had already moved inland. To prevent humans from discovering us, I destroyed the airship, but there were no human pilots on board. Then I found a very advanced Divine Artifact Crystal Core fell from the airship, and I ate it. To make sure humans didn’t find the airship, I dragged it to a very hidden valley and hid it."

So that’s what happened!

The chat group was in an uproar, laughing and crying: "She ate the Black Box, and it kept sending signals to locate her, leading to her capture?"

"The key is, an unmanned airship with Pre-Empire technology!"

"Seems the system had to go to great lengths to justify the mess caused by this idiot curry, even invoking Pre-Empire era logic..."

Gabriel immediately confirmed: "Your Excellency, after you downed that airship, did it become easier for humans to find you?"

The Dragon Mother thought for a moment: "Perhaps, I think I didn’t hide the airship well, or maybe they tracked the nasty smell from the airship."

Gabriel said: "That was the Plague!"

The Dragon Mother was shocked: "Plague? No wonder, after I returned, I started feeling sleepy, and my whole tribe became sleepy as well. At the time, I thought it was because we had left the nurturing environment of the Mithril..."

Gabriel was astonished: "Just sleepiness?"

The Dragon Mother sighed: "Just sleepiness, so I didn’t pay attention. Maybe this is the reason for my tribe’s downfall."

Gabriel remarked with admiration: "It seems the Dragon Race is too powerful; what could decimate a human town in an instant appeared as mere sleepiness to you."

The Dragon Mother replied sullenly: "Now my tribe is extinct, and I am in this state, so talking about being powerful is a bit ridiculous. I’ve told you everything I know."

Gabriel thought it over, deciding not to tell her about the Black Box, since having it inside her body would make it easier to locate and control her in the future.

So he said: "Please endure for a while, I will find a way to rescue you."

The Dragon Mother sighed: "It’s been a hundred years, I’m quite patient."

Gabriel said: "Then, until we meet again."

"Looking forward to meeting again!"

Gabriel pressed the awakening button, and after traveling through some space, everything went black before his eyes——System notice: The effect of the anesthetic you currently have is still in place, unable to awaken.

Gabriel was quite helpless and had to ask: "Everyone, should I inform the three City Beauties about my discovery?"

Michael said gravely: "No! We have too little information right now. Once we tell the three, they might take actions that could alert the Empire. Moreover, it’s not certain if the three of them will even agree."

Sariel anxiously said: "The boss has a point, but this is a matter of my Silver City, it should be solved by us! Maybe we can find a chance to tell Remia."

Gabriel and Metatron immediately felt displeased: "So you want to hog all the benefits?"

Sariel anxiously said: "Didn’t you understand what the boss said?"

Gabriel laughed: "Okay, when I wake up later, I’ll just say I encountered a strong enemy and retreated immediately."

The butler reminded: "Ladies and gentlemen, dinner has been delayed by half an hour..."

The group laughed: "We’ve been so busy that even dinner was delayed."

The butler reported: "Additionally, that Chun person did not log in for dinner at 6 o’clock as scheduled."
