Soul of Burning Steel

When she said these words, there was a bit of teasing in the eyes of No. 3. She didn't really want any help or gifts, but just wanted to see how Joshua would react in this situation, but what she didn't expect, when After thinking for a while, the soldier nodded seriously.

"I do have something to give you, but it's not me helping you, but you helping me."

Joshua squatted down and put his face close to No. 3, so that he could have a secret and smooth conversation with the artificial intelligence girl. His expression was serious, but his tone was sincere: "Think about it carefully, maybe you are the only one who can help me. people."

"Then... let's talk." Facing the soldier approaching suddenly with such a serious expression, No. 3, who originally wanted to make a joke, took a step back anxiously, her tone was a little flustered, and her voice became quieter. : "What do you...need my help?"

"It can't be said."

Seeing that No. 3 agreed, Joshua laughed, and then he reached out and pressed his hand on the artificial intelligence's seemingly illusory magic power projection. The silver light flickered, and the light flowed along with the veins of the magic power. The soldier's palm It also seemed to touch the entity: "In short, please."

On the other hand, the eyes of No. 3, who was held down on the top of his head, had a large number of pale blue magic runes flashing, and an endless waterfall of data flashed through them. The expression on her face was even more painful. She hugged her head and cried out in pain a few times, then looked at the soldier with incredulous eyes: "Joshua, you——what are you trying to do?!" She It seemed that he wanted to continue talking, but was stopped by the soldier's eyes.

"Experimenting a possibility can also be regarded as preparing for the future."

Regarding No. 3's question, Joshua just smiled and didn't say anything more. He stood up and looked up at the flashing pyroxene lamp in the middle of the corridor on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion. His expression was calm, as if nothing had happened: " This matter is a secret between you and me, it is best not to tell anyone... I believe you can help me."

"...Since you have said so, I will naturally act as if nothing happened." The artificial intelligence girl could only lower her head unwillingly when she heard this, and she murmured softly: "But... in this case... Why is this so? I believe things will never reach that point!"

"There is no absolute, No. 3." Joshua started to walk towards the other side of the Lord's Mansion, and at the same time seriously answered No. 3 who followed: "Anything is possible."

"And to win, you need to beat the worst."

On the edge of the Great Ajax Mountains, where the dwarves gather.

Deep in the earth, the city of the dwarves is in full swing.

In the underground natural caves, thousands of strong dwarves stepped on the flat ground, and the solid road paved by magic turned mud into stone radiated from the center of the city, reaching every corner of the gathering place, and An extension of one of the roads terminates at the foot of a large stepped building. There is a chimney-like nozzle on the top of this trapezoidal pyramid, which spews magical power and water vapor that seem to be materialized all the time, and its foundation is deeply embedded in the ground, absorbing the power of lava, and supplying the huge machinery in it. operation.

The huge steel giant No. 1 is digging the foundation opposite this factory, and it knows what the building in front of it is for: it is the second-generation rune mana factory built due to the coming of the great demon tide. Compared with the first-generation mana factory, it can not only produce general-purpose magic equipment such as mana armor, but also some core components of large floating battleships. Number One knew that the rune dwarves of the North had recently received a large order from the imperial military, but the production capacity was slightly insufficient, so he entrusted himself to dig the foundation of the second rune factory.

"How? No. 1, if you feel tired, then take a rest!"

Before digging the huge pothole caused by the foundation, Tania, the leader of the new generation of Northland dwarves, touched his long dark yellow beard and the copper ring on it, and said loudly: "We are not in a hurry!"

"Zizi."

unnecessary. I don't get tired from purely physical movement. No. 1 honestly replied that it was still working, but it was obvious that the dwarves on the side couldn't understand what the steel element was saying, so they could only shrug helplessly.

The steel element is the same as the normal elemental life, relying on absorbing the magical elements in the surrounding atmosphere to maintain life. For the first number, all kinds of rare metals are actually just delicious snacks, providing it with materials for transformation. Now it is located around the mana factory, and the excess mana discharged from the factory alone can make it very comfortable. No. 1 feels that the dwarves are already very good to him, and he doesn’t need any extra light at all. He is also willing to be sincere for this group people contribute their strength.

But at this moment, No. 1's thinking suddenly stopped for a moment. This huge steel life suddenly put down the work in his hand, and then stood up straight and looked into the distance. The steel element felt as if it was struck by lightning. Now, a large amount of electric current flowed up and down from its whole body, and what followed was a huge message that descended out of thin air by virtue of a wonderful connection that it could not yet detect.

"What's wrong?! Number one?!"

Tania had already brought his guards back to prepare to leave. After all, he had just taken over the power from his father, the old dwarf Moria, and he was very busy. In addition to visiting No. 1, he also needed to inspect the factories located in various places in the gathering place , but now seeing a strange situation suddenly appearing on the steel element, Tania immediately ignored the guard's obstruction and came to the edge of the foundation pit, nervously asked the number one whose current had just disappeared: "Is it okay? What happened just now?"

At this time, Tania was full of tension, and apart from sincere worries, there were also realistic factors. You must know that Number One is not just a source of living metal that rune dwarves craftsmen regard as treasures or an important labor force for large-scale projects at this time, but its most important identity is the subordinate of the legendary lord—the Northland dwarves. It was entrusted by him to take care of the other party, and even the order for the floating battleship was brought in by the other party with his help. If there is something wrong with the first number, he, the new leader, may step down!

"Wait, I'll call the big craftsmen to take a look right away!" Thinking of this, Tania immediately made a decision in his heart, and he immediately turned around and prepared to go to find a few big craftsmen who knew the body of Number One very well. A big man who has gone deep into the elemental world and knows all kinds of life in detail. However, before the young dwarf took a few steps, a familiar yet unfamiliar thick voice appeared behind him.

"Zi... No need, I'm fine, Tania."

Hearing his name, the dwarf slowly turned his head back in shock. What he saw was a huge steel element slightly lowering its head and looking at him. Number One seemed to continue with a smile: "The pronunciation of human language... ... Zi... I have learned, this is the power of my father..."

The little commotion in the dwarves gathering place caused by No. 1 suddenly learning the common language subsided quickly, and most people were not surprised by it. After all, most of the adult elite elemental creatures have the wisdom to learn languages, and the elemental elders even They all have the thinking ability no less than that of human elites. As a steel element, although the first name is a strange race, it is obvious that they have considerable wisdom. It is not strange to suddenly learn a language.

Only some high-level people will remember the vision that appeared on Number One before he learned the language, as well as the father he talked about.

Earl Radcliffe, has he mastered any new powers? This kind of seemingly unimportant gossip was spread in secret, and then collected by some caring people. They conscientiously gathered it together with a lot of information related to the legendary earl, and finally reported it layer by layer, and handed it over to them. hands.

"The ability to give wisdom? No. 1 originally had wisdom, but now it has learned to speak."

In the imperial capital of the Empire, in the royal study of the Palace of Morlaix, Israel shook his head, put the report in front of him aside, and sighed: "Nash, you don't need to collect Mr. Radcliffe's report every day. Information, if you want to know his strength, you can come to the door directly and ask in my name, saying that for the stability of the empire, I need to know the extent of his strength. I know him, so to ask directly, He will tell you, just as he asked me, and I will tell him—there is no need for hidden concealment between the strong, and there is no room for conspiracy under the power of legend."

"The power of the shadows should not gather in the north, that is meaningless. You should pay attention to those corrupt nobles in the southeast. And I believe that Sir Radcliffe has already known about your little moves. That's why I didn't use one hand to kill all of you bugs who peeped into his secrets, just because he was willing to abide by order and didn't want to kill my subordinates casually."

"Yes... yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Israel's words, the black-clad and black-armored warrior kneeling on one knee suddenly sweated profusely. After being awakened, he immediately knew how dangerous it was to spy on a legendary powerhouse. The other party was a little dissatisfied with the imperial family because of this, so even if he died, he would not be able to atone for his sins. Fortunately, Earl Radcliffe was broad-minded and did not care about him.

But it's hard to blame him for this matter. After all, the meaning of Shadow's existence is to collect information on all existences that may pose a threat to the empire, and who is more threatening than a legendary powerhouse? It is a natural instinct to be vigilant against those who are too powerful, so after pondering for a while, Israel did not punish his loyal subordinate too much.

"Nash Vorshad, you were once a warrior who fought bloody battles on the battlefield. It was my fault that I made you stay in a dark and mysterious place like Shadow for a long time, which drained your mind."

He stood up from the big chair behind the desk and walked to the warrior. Israel said slowly: "Working in that kind of place will not lead to a good end... In a few years, after you hand over, you will Come to me and be the captain of the bodyguard."

Hearing this, Nash, who was originally depressed, suddenly raised his head. He glanced at Israel in surprise, and immediately realized his disrespect. Then he lowered his head deeply, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely find it strange. As the most important central intelligence agency in a country, Shadow Shadow is no less than the deputy commander of an ordinary legion commander, and the fact that he can meet the emperor at any time is better than that. There are many other important positions. Nash stepped down from this position and then became a mere personal guard captain. No matter how you think about it, his status has dropped greatly. How could he be so happy? But it's actually quite different.

As Israel said, it is absolutely impossible for the head of the shadow department to die well. The nobles who have been peeped into the secrets will try their best to get rid of this damn bastard who knows most of their scandals. Even Nash couldn't say that he could escape all of them. Israel's willingness to make him a personal guard meant that such a retaliatory assassination would never happen. No nobleman would be stupid enough to attack a legendary emperor Mingbao In addition, after becoming a personal guard, Nash is very likely to be instructed by a legendary powerhouse, and he is very likely to reach the ultimate goal in the future. In the extraordinary world, this is to surpass all gold and silver treasures, power and power.

"Okay, you haven't been laid off yet."

Somewhat angrily kicked the warrior who had been following him since the Orc War, Israel paused, and then said: "But you are right, he must have learned something... Nash, go and ask someone to inform Di Moore and Avar."

"Tell them it's time to go."
