The energy core of the head can eject pure energy flow, and it is also the biggest weakness.

[by——steel element]

"Touch the spirit body freely."

Looking at the iron figure who expressed his surrender to him, Joshua couldn't help recalling the incident when he touched the No. 3 magic projection not long ago. Thinking nodded: "I can also pay some price and give material life."

"Because I poured the power of power into the steel, so what appeared was the steel element? If what I touched before was water, fire or air, maybe there would be different results."

After pondering for a while, the soldier showed a smile: "Although I don't know what price I paid, it's interesting, really interesting."

You must know that even the magicians of the summoning system do not summon water and wind elements out of thin air. They all rely on the medium in their hands to call for the existence of other worlds. Iron golem, but it is very different from this steel element.

Although it looks a bit dull, this is 'life'.

"Get up."

Although the iron figure looked like a puppet without wisdom, it could understand some instructions. The black and red light spot on its head flickered for a while, as if responding, then obeyed Joshua's words and stood firmly stand up.

It is more than two meters tall, and it is a head taller than Joshua when standing upright. Its huge body is like a giant door shining with light patterns. It is extremely strong at first glance, and it is a good material for resisting pressure.

On the side, Yingying had already triggered the magic in the Shape-changing Pendant, a weak but very precise wave gushed out of it, and then covered the huge body of the half-dragon, only to see that Hei's body was affected by the magic. The lower body gradually shrank, and finally became the size of an ordinary horse in a burst of fluorescence.

It is still in the extreme discomfort of seasickness, even after encountering this kind of mutation, it did not wake up, but because the surrounding environment became "spacious", Hei instinctively stretched his body and coiled his tail Stretching out, the tip of the long tail touched the soldier's feet, and even got wrapped around.

"... Hotaru, go and call Rin over."

Reluctantly breaking free from Hei's tail, Joshua turned his head and instructed the silver-haired girl. At this moment, Yingying was curiously touching the shrunken Hei. She stretched out her fair little hand and touched the golden hair on Banlong's chest. Core, and then said in surprise: "Master, this thing is not hot at all! I always thought it was very hot!"

"...Be careful, it's because I suppressed the energy in Hei just now, don't touch it next time, it's really hot."

How could the energy core of a fire-type dragon not be hot? Even if the metal touched it, it would dissolve and gasify. Seeing this scene, Joshua couldn't help frowning, shook his head, and the soldier repeated again: "What are you calling?" Rin comes down, let's take care of Hei, he should be sorting out the files in my room now, it's easy to find."

"Oh well."

Obediently agreed, the silver-haired girl immediately stood up and was about to walk towards the accommodation area of ​​the Gale. Before leaving, she glanced curiously at the metal figure standing silently beside her, and asked softly, "Master, what is this?" What is it, it feels like there is a trace of your breath on it."

my breath? Is it because of the attributes of the 'family'?

Although he had doubts in his heart, the soldier couldn't be sure, so he shrugged and replied casually: "I don't know, but since I created it, it's normal to have my breath."

"As for what it is...I want to experiment."

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Ying quickly ran towards the residential area, and Joshua also started his experiment.

Strength, wisdom, speed, warriors tested this steel element from all aspects, and the final result was more subtle.

As the system said, this steel element has silver-level strength, its body is extremely hard, even better than the armor of the spaceship, but other than that, the steel element has no ability, the metal in the skill Assimilation takes a few minutes to accumulate power. When Joshua ordered it to try to assimilate the other metal walls of the cargo hold, he waited for five minutes and saw that a part of the wall was missing. It was completely meaningless in actual combat. Still can only rely on hand-to-hand combat.

The transformation is also the same, just like it changed from a large steel plate to a human form before, if it wasn't for Joshua's help, it would take at least ten minutes for this iron bump to transform completely, the speed is really too slow.

In terms of intelligence, the steel element has simple intelligence, and can understand commands such as attacking, defending, and standing still, but it can't do more complicated ones, and when there are no commands, it will just stand still and not move. It's a solid lump of iron.

The speed is a pleasant surprise. Although the steel element looks very dull and stiff, it is actually surprisingly fast. The soldiers let it run back and forth in the cargo hold. It only takes a little more than a minute for 800 meters, and it usually wears armor. None of the silver warriors can reach this speed, and the endurance of the steel element is the same as that of the earth element, as long as the energy is sufficient, it is endless.

The energy jet in the skill cannot destroy the hull, so Joshua ordered the steel element to attack him, and the huge steel figure also launched an attack without hesitation, only hearing a noise like a surge of electricity, a dark red energy Recurrent shoots straight from the spot on its head.

The soldier easily picked it up, he felt it, and felt that the power was just as it was, and the impact force was roughly equivalent to that of a fighter of the same level using an ordinary weapon. Although the temperature cannot melt steel, it is still hundreds of degrees. It will definitely cause severe burns.

Generally speaking, the strength of the steel element is indeed good, because the body is hard and the endurance is endless, and its performance on the battlefield may be higher. If it can be created in batches, it is indeed a very good helper.

"It is indeed similar to ordinary elemental life, only the most basic wisdom... I just don't know if it will slowly become smarter as time goes by like the elders of the major elements."

Clenching and releasing his left hand, Joshua's face looked a little pity: "Besides, after the change just now, the power of power has completely disappeared. This kind of power is indeed impossible to grasp. Is it because I haven't found a way to use it, or is it simply Is it timeless?"

If he can use this power all the time, he can continuously create steel elements. Although this kind of existence is a bit stupid, it is indeed very useful as a human shield and forward in wartime, and there cannot be too many fighters.

"Think carefully, you don't have a name yet."

Patting Iron Element on the shoulder, Joshua said with a smile, "I'll just call you number one, how about it?"

"Zizizi."

As if responding to Joshua's words, the spots of light on the steel head flickered, and there was a slight noise. At this time, following some chaotic footsteps, Hotaru also came to the cargo hold with a tired face.

As the warrior's steward, the black-haired boy was indeed in Joshua's room before, sorting out the documents summoned from Moldavia. In fact, Rin's ability to handle government affairs is better than the warrior's, so as long as Joshua wants to If you relax, you will let the teenager work instead of you.

The soldier is relaxed, but it is bitter. Originally, the magical boy had to take care of Hei with Yingying on weekdays, deal with the incidents of cult members with Miss No. 3, and occasionally prepare lunch and dinner for his master. The study of the Lord's Mansion is relatively confidential. , so it was also cleaned by him. Rin was so busy every day that he didn't touch the ground, and he had to deal with government affairs.

Therefore, occasionally when the teenager is busy, he will fall into self-doubt just like his sister.

— Am I not a weapon?

——Why do I do these things?

——What is the meaning of my existence...

Of course, unlike Yingying's occasional confusion, the silver-haired girl doubts the meaning of her existence mainly because she has nothing to do, while the black-haired boy wants to escape reality because he is too busy.

"Hey, this big guy..."

As soon as he opened the door, Rin saw the steel element. He opened his eyes wide and subconsciously said, "Why does it have a trace of the master's breath?"

"Firefly also said the same thing."

Touching his chin, Joshua turned his head and asked with some doubts: "Thanks for your hard work, Rin, but the aura on this guy's body is so obvious that it is related to me at a glance?"

The soldier himself really couldn't feel it. In his induction, the aura of this steel element was very pure. If it didn't have dark red energy flowing on its body, it would be a big iron block at all.

"It is clear."

The black-haired boy nodded earnestly. He struggled with vocabulary for a while, and then slowly said: "It can't be called breath, but as long as you look at it, you can immediately know that it must be related to you, the master, as if it is instinctive."

"Is that so..." Narrowing his eyes, Joshua turned his head to look at the steel element who was still motionless: "It seems that it is the relationship of the 'family'."

But this kind of thing is irrelevant, the soldier didn't think much about it, and the attribute card of No. 1 also had a slight change at this time.

【Number One Steel Element】

[Race: Steel Elemental Family]

At this moment, the entire Gale began to vibrate slightly, and a powerful magic energy gushed out from the furnace core in front, as if it was activating some huge magic circle.

For a time, time and space were distorted, and violent spatial fluctuations spread around.

"The teleportation has started." Yingying said softly, the silver-haired girl's eyes were shining slightly at this time, and she looked very excited: "I don't know how long it will take to reach the Far South, I can't wait!"

The silver-haired girl has been very happy ever since she knew that Joshua went to the Far South to help the Church of the Seven Gods resist the mad dragon. Although Rin didn't express anything, the expression on her face was the same.

Hotaru is so happy because she has been leisurely for so long, and she can finally have some fighting activities, while Rin feels that she can finally be liberated from the official hell and relax her mind.

And looking at the cheering gods, Joshua also showed a smile of anticipation. Hotaru and Rin want to prove the meaning of their existence, so why not him? Thinking of fighting against endless dragons, the warrior couldn't help but clenched his fists, eager to try.

Of course, he quickly broke away from this kind of expectation. Joshua glanced sideways and looked at Hei, who was sleepwalking and flicking his tail. It’s because the body is too big, flying so high is a little lack of oxygen.”

In any case, the matter of Hei was resolved, and it also brought out a change in the power of power. The warrior gained a lot this time.

But the next few days were a little dull.

Along the way, Joshua has been trying to mobilize the power in his body, and by the way, let Number One cooperate with the mage on board to do various experiments.

These mages from the Royal Mage Association are very interested in the unknown life of the steel element. They didn't ask Joshua when he brought this guy up, but just did a whole set of magic checks on the silent number one. The identification result was similar to what the system said, not much different.

But, apart from that, these mages discovered an interesting phenomenon - the black and red lines on No. 1's body, which are like spider webs, can absorb the magical energy in the atmosphere to maintain its own existence. Originally always like a statue, Number One will actively seek for metal assimilation to increase his body size.

"This is probably the process of their growth. They strengthen themselves by absorbing magic power. They do have the characteristics of elemental life."

This is the conclusion drawn by a mage, who is very optimistic about the future of No. 1: "But generally speaking, it takes nearly a hundred years for the earth element most similar to it to grow from a silver-level giant earth element to a gold-level giant earth element, and this The growth rate of the steel element is almost ten times that of it, and it can continue to accelerate in a high-concentration magic environment."

Joshua is also very satisfied, which means that the steel element can grow, and the speed is much faster than its kind.

Through the call of the large teleportation array, the Gale carried out teleportation jumps continuously, because the empire had already greeted the forces along the way, so there were no accidents along the way, except for the occasional need to fly to the teleportation range of the next large teleportation array , Joshua and his party were basically repeating 'opening the time-space gate', 'passing through the time-space gate' and 'opening the time-space gate again' throughout the whole process, and they didn't even see much of the outside world.

After passing through the southern fortress area of ​​the empire, the edge of the West Mountain, the gathering place of hilly dwarves, several kingdoms in the West Mountain, and the Naka Mountain Range, everyone finally approached their destination.

Starfall 833, July 1st.

Joshua has arrived in the far south.

More... I know, but I revised the outline and adjusted the follow-up plot. The main reason is that the outline was written a long time ago, and now it doesn’t quite fit the setting. It will be like this in the middle of the work, and the early setting plots have to be changed. Swallowed and needs to be readjusted...

The transition is over, finally ready to start playing
