Soul of Burning Steel

It is rumored that in the central black forest of Mycroft, there are legendary monsters living there.

For hundreds of years, such rumors have always spread from the mouths of adventurers who have gone deep into the center of the Black Forest. They brag about their experiences in taverns vividly and unquestionably narrate about the legends of magical beasts that change celestial phenomena at will and other great powers. knowledge.

But no one would believe their story, and everyone smiled disapprovingly, even though the other side tried their best to defend themselves—because if they really met the legendary monster, how could they still be alive? Everyone knows how terrifying the legendary power is, it is almost irresistible, like a natural disaster, once encountered, it is absolutely impossible to escape.

However, if you change the angle, for example, ask 'do legendary monsters really exist? ’ This question, then everyone will nod involuntarily.

Of course, they exist. The dozens of large-scale battles and terrain changes in the history of the Black Forest are the witnesses of their confrontation with civilization. Although the last legendary Warcraft invasion was nearly 300 years ago, But their power has not been forgotten.

From the perspective of those who are familiar with the essence of legendary monsters and have communicated with them, those adventurers who narrated things about legendary monsters are not lying, because they are not stupid beasts that kill indiscriminately. Smarter, more cunning, and even, more human than some humans ever imagined.

But now, what appeared in front of Joshua was such an existence.

Accompanied by the ripples of time and space, a white-gold tree vine spread out from the cracked space gap. There were pink and wine-red flowers blooming on this vine, and blue-golden pollen floated out of it, and finally disappeared in the air. Condensed into a human form, this human form was originally blurred, but as the space crack expanded, it immediately condensed into a beautiful and frightening appearance.

The main body of the human figure is a group of platinum vines intertwined together. It constitutes a tall woman with a plump and slim figure. The vine leaves form long hair and a face is condensed in its head. It is a beautiful picture. The face of a standard Northland woman... If you just look at it, it will even give people a different kind of beauty, but if you continue to observe, you will find that both the image and the face of the woman are composed of countless wriggling pollen and vines , They are constantly moving, just like countless tiny lives forming a larger image.

"Hello, Human Legend of the Northland."

The vine doll spoke politely, speaking the standard Mycroft common language. It bowed to Joshua, and Joshua also returned the salute. Afterwards, it introduced itself: "I am Platinum Vine Mother— —Using the titles of those adventurers, it is the Platinum Queen, one of the guardians of the inner black forest."

Mother Vine's words were simple and direct, without any turnaround or greetings. It said directly: "According to the agreement, your cleaning of the Black Forest will stop here. The chaotic atmosphere inside the Black Forest is very heavy, even if it is purification , it will not be suitable for human survival within a few decades."

"Restrain your heirs, and those monsters, if they make trouble, I will not show mercy."

This is Joshua's reply, and he didn't say much, just said lightly: "We have left you a habitat, and you should also abide by the agreement and manage this 'garden' for us—yours. I did not destroy the residences of those descendants, but they are not feeling well now."

"Naturally, they don't complain."

After confirming that the legend in front of her was about to destroy everything in front of her with every gesture, she did not continue to attack. The Platinum Vine Mother gathered her human form and retracted her tentacles to the other end of the space crack, and a somewhat distorted analog sound came from the other end of the space crack: " Since Uroboros failed to challenge human authority, we have never attacked humans, and now it seems that this is the right choice."

After finishing speaking, Platinum Vine Mother didn't seem to want to say more, and closed the space rift.

Afterwards, Joshua also stopped the action of reorganizing the Black Forest. He turned around and looked at the large piece of land he passed - at the end of his field of vision, everything was in a mess, the river was cut off, the mountains collapsed, the forest and the mountains collapsed. The hills turned into mud, countless blood and water mixed with muddy chaotic magic power flowed on the surface, and at the end of the field of vision, a raging fire was spreading endlessly. Everything that was filthy made the former Black Forest completely disappear in the world.

In the central Black Forest, there are eleven types of descendants of legendary monsters, of which three are close to the direction of the Northern Empire, namely the Titan Dragonfly, the Boros Giant Python, and the Platinum Magic Vine. The Titan Dragonfly is a giant insect monster that inherits the power of the ancient mountain Titan and has the ability to control the four elements. Its maximum body length exceeds 40 meters, and its wingspan can reach nearly 50 meters. It is the ultimate hunter in the sky. The Ross python is capable of controlling basic material conversion and cohesion, which is enough to destroy any line of defense.

For these two types of descendants of legendary monsters that have extreme potential and are much stronger than ordinary extreme monsters after advanced, the measures taken by the empire are to "keep only the basic samples" and kill all others to avoid future troubles. When Xiuya reorganized the land, he did take special care of the gathering places of these two types of monsters. After suppressing the two pairs of monsters that served as the basic samples, he wiped out all the others.

But platinum magic vines are different, because as their ancestor, the legendary monster, or the magic plant 'platinum vine mother' is still alive in the world, and there are rumors that this plant has no harm to human beings, and the vines have been extended beyond the world The super life that directly absorbs the energy radiation of the multiverse, all the legendary powerhouses have shown a certain respect.

According to the agreement between the two parties, human beings will not do anything to Platinum Vine Mother, another living legendary monster 'Prison Dragon Colorado', and will reserve habitats for each other, and in exchange, they will also It is necessary to obey the jurisdiction of human beings, restrain the rest of the monsters in the remaining black forest, and prevent them from rioting and affecting the next human development.

Whether it is the Platinum Vine Mother or the Prison Dragon Colorado, they are all super life forms with intelligence beyond ordinary human beings. They naturally know that the reason why humans do not kill them is because they have not treated the civilized world in the past three hundred years. Shot - of course, the most important thing is because of their strength. If the Platinum Vine Mother makes a full-strength shot regardless of life and death, she can directly tear the space and attack the main gathering places of various countries, and the Prison Sky Dragon can absorb energy from the vacuum particle sea. Accelerates the heating of particles over an extremely wide range to extremes.

As long as there is no possibility of 'instant killing', then no one wants to take risks, not to mention that these two legendary monsters have already expressed goodwill, so naturally there is no need to go to the step of life and death... After all, legendary monsters also want To continue to exist, why bother to fight against human beings?

You know, as super life forms of their level, their lifespan has long been called unlimited. Not long ago, Platinum Vine Mother even used the pollen avatar to walk across the world. There is only one world, but a vast multiverse—Mother Vine even had a brief discussion with Nostradamus and Israel in secret. It will take action, and even appoint its own children to fully assist the empire in its external exploration All the exploration of the other world, and in exchange, the empire will also try to spread pollen and seeds for it.

This is much more efficient than its body floating in the void, taking God knows how long to try its luck to meet a suitable world for reproduction.

Joshua has no doubts about the agreement between the two parties. Anyway, as long as these monsters dare to have the slightest malice, he will take action without hesitation. , taking advantage of the fact that humans are not on guard against a sudden attack, the consequences will be more serious, and now, because many legends are gathered, even if the legendary monsters want to resist, they will not cause the greatest loss in theory.

As for whether these intelligent monsters can co-exist with humans, Joshua does not doubt it. After all, besides the Central Black Forest, there are other legendary monsters, and those monsters have already co-existed with humans for hundreds of years. Years, even left behind a lot of mixed-race heirs. Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look to the south of the world, where the business alliance is located.

The existence of the business alliance can be said to be a miracle in the Mycroft world. Its founder, Critias, unearthed an ancient ruin from the central Black Forest, and obtained huge wealth and various special gifts from it. Design drawings of magic items. At that time, wars were raging all over the world, and no one paid attention to Critias' harvest. He brought his team to the Far South Kingdom incognito, and obtained the title of pioneer knight from the kingdom at that time. , and went to the location of the business alliance, which was still in the wild forest at that time, a natural deep-water port surrounded by mountains that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Next, what most people think of is likely to be an epic and legendary pioneering story-Critias successfully took root in the Black Forest with the funds obtained from his own adventure and various wonderful tools from the last era, and created a business alliance. During the period, there were tens of millions of words and the political and military struggle with the Far South Kingdom, and finally gained independence in political status... It is indeed written in the history books, but in fact, the truth behind the story lies in It was distorted out of shape from the beginning.

When Critias came to the natural deep-water port that he had peeped for a long time and had not been discovered by others, he and his team were shocked to find that it was actually a legendary monster The residence, and their every move, has long been discovered by this monster.

It was a legendary dragon whale whose body was as huge as a mountain. She had been basking in the sun not far from the sea for almost forty years. From a distance, it looked like a small island. That day, she was bored to the limit and returned home after getting tired of drying out. That is to say, when she returned to the huge underwater cave deep in the deep water port, she happened to find a group of villains on the ground who were busy surveying geographic data.

They are busy, they are enthusiastic, they talk and laugh loudly with each other, full of expectations and confidence for the future.

So the Dragon Whale Empress let out a long cry of excitement.

At the same time, Critias, who was climbing on the top of the mountain and observing the surrounding terrain, immediately discovered that there were legendary monsters living here after hearing the long cry that shook the world—the feeling in his heart at that time was beyond words. To describe, not to mention how messy his heart was, in a word, Critias and his party immediately decided to leave as soon as possible, so as not to collectively explain here.

But how could a group of mortals with the most gold rank escape from the palm of a legend? The Dragon Whale Queen easily captured them, and then.

Then the dragon whale queen took a fancy to Critias.

When Joshua heard Nostradamus talking about this matter, he thought he was joking, like the old Pope’s illegitimate son, the relationship between the natural mentor and the queen, the Xishan Holy Sword Envoy actually didn’t use a sword, and the emperor of the empire didn’t even use a sword at all. It's not a dragon knight, and he also likes to kill demons, a cruel lord who devours the flesh and blood of monsters, and other boring rumors, all of which are blown out by drunks who don't know where, but seeing the serious expression of the old mage, the warrior can only believe that , which is all true.

The Dragon Whale Queen decided to transform into a human form because she was fed up with the boring life, and experience human life with this group of cute villains, trying to build a country with them, and she became a business alliance after experiencing it. The founder's wife became the Supreme Empress of the business alliance that has survived to this day, and the reason why the business alliance, a small country formed by countless merchants, craftsmen and fishermen, still exists today is precisely because of her backing.

So far, the Dragon Whale Queen is still staying in the seabed cave below the business alliance. She often takes the form of a human and walks in this country created by her and her former partners. Critias and his team have long passed away, but the Queen Still not forgetting them, the Commercial League is located in the cemetery behind the St. Louis Cathedral on the top of the hill, and there is often a lady with long sea blue hair.

She likes to watch the sea here, and she will not get tired of it for hundreds of years.

As long as they are willing, legendary monsters can also become a member of human society. It is precisely because of the precedent of the Dragon Whale Queen that the major forces do not have to kill the Platinum Vine Mother and Prison Dragon. The Mycroft civilization does not reject it. The addition of heterogeneous species, as long as they are sincere and willing to become a member of this group.

At this time, Hei and Number One at the end of the field of vision also slowly arrived here, and Joshua turned around and flew towards them, briefly explaining a few follow-up plans and the current border of the Black Forest.

"Then what about you, master?"

"Zi Zi, Zi Zi Zi?"

Hearing that her mission was over, the black dragon immediately transformed into a human form, and then let out a long sigh——on the way, she had been using Yangyan rays to ignite the earth, she was really tired, even if Hei had the blood of an ancient dragon, it was very difficult Fortunately, there is no shortage of combustible substances in the black forest, and the fire will spread by itself. After igniting important areas, you can let it go, otherwise the black forest may not be able to clean it all up after a few months.

But then, she asked curiously: "Could it be that I didn't practice today?"

"Don't tell me that I forgot that you were lazy yesterday—that's fine, you go back to the Northland first and let No. 3 supervise you to finish what you didn't finish last night. As for today's work, you have finished it."

Not paying attention to Hei's wailing, Joshua said calmly, "As for me, after a while, after the other legends finish their tasks, we will go to the center of the Black Forest together and take out the remains of the evil god buried in its depths."

"Zizi?" (Is it dangerous?)

On the side, Number One asked worriedly: "Zi Zi, Zi Zi, Zi Zi."

"A chaotic wreck that has been defeated by a sage for a thousand years, and the remaining corpses have turned into continents. It has been degrading naturally. I am not weak enough to be afraid of this thing."

Ling Kong patted Number One on the head, but Joshua didn't take it seriously: "The Cthulhu God of Abundance is dead—it is because it is dead that it is worth studying."

As a world of order, after death, evil gods will be born, and as evil gods of void and chaos, what will they transform into after death?

This is the real reason why Joshua took over the task of cleaning up the black forest and recovering the corpse of the evil god of abundance. A warrior who has conceived a prototype of the world in his body naturally wants to know how to switch between order and chaos, what will be born after the death of the power of steel, and what will be caused by the death of the remains after its death.

Joshua turned his head. He told Heihe Chuhao to go back as soon as possible, and then withdrew most of his strength and approached the central area of ​​the Black Forest.
