Soul of Burning Steel

The airship Gransafa was commissioned by the lord's mansion of Moldavia in the north, designed by the Royal First Military Factory of the Hergamos Empire in the north, and assembled in the magic engineering department of Nissiere Winter Castle Academy. There are no more than ten "Emperor-class" super-large air battleships in the entire Mycroft Continent. It is rumored that several legendary powerhouses personally blessed this airship, giving it the energy that can almost never land.

In fact, this is not wrong, because the furnace core of this battleship is indeed designed and deployed by several legends. After all, it is not ordinary people who want to reduce the "Core Fusion Heart" to an ordinary battleship engine. What has been achieved, and the Gransafa, which is over 1,300 meters long, is equipped with two 'core fusion' class power furnaces.

However, even though the Granzafa has an almost inexhaustible source of power, it does not carry any weapons. The reason why it is called an airship, not an air battleship, is precisely because it is a pure means of transportation—— The Grand Saifa is a large-scale scientific research and exploration spaceship specially used for void exploration. It has the space-time travel circle inscribed by the legendary mage Nostradamus himself, and the armor and energy core that the legendary warrior Joshua has cured himself. , and the energy conduction system designed by the legendary mage Barnier, so apart from the theoretical three-year renovation, it can almost permanently drive in the void.

But now, the Gransafa, fully loaded with crew, is breaking through the turbulent currents of time and space, sailing towards the goal called the Sacrificial Field of Myriad Worlds in the void.

Fairy Township is a plane that revolves around the world of Mycroft, and so is the Myriad Realms Sacrificial Field. Although the speed of rotation between the two is not much different, as time goes by, Fairy Township, which was originally the base for advancing, is getting closer and closer to the Myriad Realms Sacrificial Field. The farther it gets, the more it will eventually become unsuitable to start. For this, the major forces have long been prepared, and the Gransafa is one of them. It can accurately find the coordinates of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field in the void, and Arrive at the destination within 2-5 hours.

At this time, the core members of the Empire's Foreign Exploration Department were all on board the Gransafa, and Priest, the captain of the elite team, was no exception.

Priest is no stranger to the Grand Saifa. He has traveled on this airship many times to and from the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Field, and tested his ability to withstand various gravity conditions in the 'gravity cabin' inside the ship. Adaptability——In fact, as an exploration ship for scientific research, the Grand Saifa is also equipped with an "element cabin" for testing the environment of various element concentrations and a "critical cabin" for testing the concentration of steel particles. There are 'ether capsules' in the energy world.

After undergoing numerous tests, Priest and others were finally told that they would soon usher in their first formal exploration mission.

"It can be regarded as coming. If I continue to train like this, I will really lose my mind!"

The person who spoke was the knight in the team, a tall and strong young man. After he learned from the mental terminal that he was about to usher in his first official mission, his first thought was not 'nervous'. It is the 'survival after disaster' that finally got rid of the long-term training: "Hahahaha, goodbye, the 20-kilometer full-speed run before meals every day, goodbye, the miserable life of only eating nutritious meals! I can finally become an official The explorers are here! I can finally eat meat!"

"Woooo... finally here, haha, finally wait for me!"

And the alchemist in the team was even more unbearable. He was crying and laughing like he was insane. He held his mental terminal tightly, stood up and said loudly: "I will never use my daily drinking water again. Let’s do experiments to prepare potions! Let alone eighty bottles a day, even a slime can’t drink so much!”

On the other side, the mages and clergymen in the team were relatively determined, and did not show any frantic gestures or expressions for the time being, but seeing the trembling fingers of the mages and the dull eyes of the clergymen, one could tell that the other party was in training. What a harsh test I have accepted, and how excited I am about the official task at this time.

Priest couldn't understand the joy of his team members. He didn't even pay much attention to it, because he was holding a "Detailed Explanation of Advanced Runes" at the moment, and was sitting in his seat to study by himself. When the other four explorers saw that their captain did not change his face after getting the news, and even continued to study by himself with a book thicker than a brick, they all showed disbelief, fear, admiration and admiration. eyes.

Most of the people who can join the exploration team can be regarded as geniuses, while a small number of them are geniuses among geniuses. Naturally, no one looks down on geniuses when they get together. The four people present have encountered such a situation at the beginning of the team formation. Everyone thinks that they should be the captain and the number one person, while the others are just chickens and dogs, so there is no need to pay attention.

However, they finally convincingly recognized Priest as the captain, and there was a reason for this.

"Seven gods, he can finish two books of advanced mathematics exercises in one day!" This is the whispered admiration of the clergyman.

"More than that." The mage said succinctly: "He can even write three extra rune examination papers!"

All in all, Priest's status as the leader of the team is unquestionable, so after getting this news, everyone turned their attention to him and waited for his opinion.

"My opinion is, be careful."

Facing the expectant eyes of his teammates, Priest had to put down the book in his hand, but raised his head, and said seriously: "Our task this time is not to explore those civilizations with rich life responses. It is some dead, lifeless alien world that may not have any life at all. Our goal is to find special space-time fluctuations, that is, a 'half-plane' called the Great Information Bank."

Immediately afterwards, the captain gave a lecture, and this scene happened to every team waiting to set off on the Gran Saifa.

Priest encouraged his teammates and told them that as long as they follow the instructions to complete the task, they will have all the exchange points and privileges. They may even bring back some special products from another world as their own spoils. No one has the slightest intention of fear, because when they choose to join the alien exploration team, they have already made the corresponding awareness.

In other words, some of them joined the team just for the fun of this life-and-death adventure.

"Ah, the distribution of equipment has begun."

After the lecture ended, a battleship staff member commanded a steel van to the rest room of the elite team. He silently nodded to everyone, then turned and left. The knight happily came to the side of the car, The van was towed to the companions and opened.

The back door of the carriage was opened, and suddenly, the unique smell of steel and strong magic power surged out. Priest took a look, and there were indeed the equipment and supplies of the five of them inside - all kinds of weapons, five sets of renewable survival suits Together with the outer armor of the life-support suit, three sets of strengthening potions (the standard configuration is a set of dragon power potion, burning magic potion, lightning potion, iron armor potion and lay on cure potion), simple means of transportation (foldable magic-driven four-wheeled off-road vehicle) , energy detectors and a host of odd gadgets.

These things are the standard equipment of the foreign exploration team. During the long training, Priest is very familiar with them, and beside him, the alchemist's expression turned a little bit when he saw the three groups of potions. It's not normal, it seems to be a bit nauseous, but Priest didn't have time to pay attention to it, because he saw a brand new thing that had never appeared in their equipment list.

A silver steel cylinder.

"Repair... the beam of light?"

The clergyman was quite curious and wanted to pick up this cylinder, which was only 30 centimeters away and only 8 centimeters in diameter, but when he touched the cylinder and began to exert force, his expression suddenly changed: "No, this It’s so heavy! Come on, knight!”

"I'm telling you to exercise more at ordinary times, and don't touch fish during physical training...Look at me!"

Casually belittling a friend, the knight strode forward, ready to pick up the silver cylinder in one breath, but the moment he touched the cylinder, his face also changed: "Wait, this little thing actually weighs three tons?! "

Three tons is actually nothing to a knight who is about to step into the golden realm, but this weight is already terrifying. No wonder the priest who has also undergone a lot of physical training can't pick it up. And if you want to carry it on your body for a long time, even a knight can't do it.

"So heavy? Could it be your operation error? Let me take a look at the manual."

Hearing the interaction of his teammates on the side, the mage who was holding his newly ordered [Quad-Core Rapid Charge Explosion Staff] frowned enthusiastically and picked up the instruction manual for repairing the beam of light from the side. He read it carefully. Then he said loudly: "This item was produced experimentally by the Moldavian Lord's Mansion. Due to various reasons, it was not lightweight and not suitable for popularization. Now it is distributed to various exploration teams for free to test the practical data. "

"The specific method of use is: place it vertically on a flat ground, enter three standard units of energy to activate, and use the spirit to enter the secret word 'wisdom is immortal, order will last forever', after waiting for three minutes, the repair light beam will automatically activate and turn into a radius A silver beam of light that is two meters high and 7.5 meters high. Put the injured in it, and project the corresponding energy and matter according to the instructions of the beam of light, and the injured can be automatically repaired."

"The beam of light cannot be destroyed or moved. After confirming the position, unless you enter the password again, you can wait for three hours before returning to the original state of the metal beam. This form can be moved. The beam of light can provide gold-level energy to people within the range For barrier protection, please do not place light beams indiscriminately, and place them at the safest base. If someone dies during the exploration, please use the accessory equipment 'Soul Abyss Ball' to restore the light beams to collect the souls or soul fragments of the dead, and then Put it in the beam of light."

Seeing this, the mage raised his eyebrows, raised his head, and said to the four teammates beside him in surprise: "It's actually made by the lord? It seems that it may indeed be useful!"

Basically, everyone on the mainland of Mycroft knows that without any prefix or suffix, the ten words "produced by the Lord's Mansion of Moldavia" means that the creation was personally participated by the Lord of the Northland, Earl Radcliffe Through development and development, there are products with these ten characters, such as 'magic armor', 'LCD screen', 'continental-level real-time communication circle' and the recently sold hot 'spiritual terminal'-these creations have nothing to do with it. There is no doubt that they are all real boutiques.

Magic armor is now used in a very wide range. Whether it is engineering operations or combat adventures, a good magic armor can make people get twice the result with half the effort. The mechanical prosthetics and exoskeleton armor extended from it can make many people with disabilities The people regained their limbs and brought them greater strength. LCD screens have basically become a must-have item in the homes of nobles and rich people. Even major newspapers, such as the Mage Weekly, have joined in. They have formed a program group to produce various news programs that circulate on the LCD screen. play.

Not to mention the spiritual terminal, this magical creation jointly developed by several legendary powerhouses is currently the hottest magic item in the history of Mycroft Continent-it has various magical functions, and it is not a few words at all. It can be described clearly, but there is no doubt that the spiritual terminal has permanently changed the living habits and thinking patterns of all people in the Mycroft world. Ignorance and misunderstanding, as long as you pay the corresponding price, everyone can get the information they want on the information terminal.

All in all, these ten words produced by the Lord's Mansion of Moldavia have basically become a guarantee of high-quality goods, and they are not simple high-quality goods, but can spread to the whole world without any threshold. After knowing this, the knight no longer complained that the original silver book was too heavy, but silently hung it on the 'anti-gravity belt' around his waist, and this column occupied 90% of the belt. load capacity.

"It seems that it should be some kind of healing method similar to Holy Light, but it is completely automatic... It is indeed very useful for the exploration of other worlds. As for this soul ball."

Priest stepped forward and picked up the black-red ball that was about the size of an ordinary person's fist beside the original book. He couldn't help being a little surprised: "Things that can automatically save the souls around them? Isn't this the category of necromancy? And if we really died in an accident, then the situation must be very critical, how could we possibly have time to preserve it... what's the use of preserving it?"

"Yes, what's the use of saving it, isn't the person still dead?"

The alchemist nodded, thinking that the lord might be a bit overthinking and unnecessary, but he changed his mind: "Maybe it is for us to carry it with us and preserve the soul immediately after death, so that if we are all wiped out in an emergency , the adults can know the reason for the total annihilation through our souls, and then avenge us?"

"It's possible." The clergyman felt that this idea was indeed very creative. He turned to the knight and said, "Why don't you give it a try and see the effect of this thing?"

"No thanks, let me give you this opportunity."

After confirming their respective equipment, everyone went to the locker room to replace the equipment. Soon, everyone who was familiar with this step walked out of the locker room.

At this time, the entire elite foreign exploration team is like a mechanical team wrapped in silver iron cans. Their outermost layer is a fully enclosed magic armor for other worlds. It is made of "living metal" that is inspired by a certain steel element and synthesized through various means. These armors have self-recovery properties. ability, and even become more powerful as time goes by.

And inside the silver living metal armor is the inner armor made of the self-healing material developed from the lord Saruka. It has extremely strong flexibility and can greatly reduce the impact force. With the combination of two armors, even ordinary people without any extraordinary power can withstand a few full-strength attacks of the gold level, and if the original strength of the extraordinary is equipped, it can even withstand the fierce attack of the gold peak.

Five armored figures are holding various equipment—Priest is carrying a warhammer on his waist, and the material on his back is translucent, like a 'gravity shield' made of crystal. This is in the exchange system, worth 4,000 exchange points and a C-level The high-level extraordinary creation for exchanging authority is the new equipment he just replaced some time ago. You can see pale white ripples centered on the shield and spreading in all directions.

And the alchemist held a slender and smooth dwarf firecracker in his hand - this firecracker was named "No. 4 Fully Automatic Arcane Missile Launcher" by the lord, but because the name was too hard to pronounce, That's why it's still called the 'Large Dwarf Firebolt' by everyone.

In the hands of the mage, it is naturally his 'Quad-Core Rapidly Charged Explosive Staff'. The name of this staff is also named by a certain lord. Because it is too difficult to pronounce, it is simply called 'Explosive Staff'.

The cleric didn't take anything, but seven crystal balls surrounded him like satellites. This is the latest creation of the Church of the Seven Gods. It has nothing to do with Moldavia. The seven crystal balls are shining with lights of different brightness. Holy white light, they dance and rotate one after another, very agile.

As for the knight, his equipment is the previous 'foldable four-wheel off-road vehicle'—otherwise, why would he be called a knight? Although it is difficult to ride a horse in another world, driving is naturally a kind of 'riding', and his weapon is also placed with the off-road vehicle, so he doesn't need to carry it with him now.

All five members of the exploration team were armed to the teeth. According to their equipment, it would not be surprising to overthrow a small country in the Western Mountains more than ten years ago. The city walls are not so thick, if everyone's strength is advanced to the gold level, then even Jiyi can fight together.

"Are you ready, everyone?"

Seeing that everyone was fully armed, Priest stood in the center of the lounge and said in a serious low voice: "Soon, our first formal exploration is about to begin, the empire has paid a lot for our cultivation, and We must also give our best efforts, even our lives, to repay this trust!"

"Naturally!" The remaining four responded in unison.

The same similar echoes sounded from all over the Grand Saifa. It was the voice of the other seven expedition teams that had completed training. This time, they will be sent to eight different worlds for a quick Exploration and exclusion, to find a specific 'space-time fluctuations' or even the lost demiplane 'unified large information base'. Everyone knows that their purpose is closely related to the future of the entire Mycroft civilization, and everyone has a sufficient sense of honor for this.

Soon, the carrier Ling of the Grand Saifa issued a clear and soft female voice broadcast: "The Grand Saifa is connecting with the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field... The magic connection is successful, and the energy resonance has begun. The progress is 1%, 2% , 3%... All members of the exploration team are requested to prepare for teleportation."

After hearing the broadcast, all the members of the exploration team stood on a row of circular magic circle base plates. At this time, it can be seen that these faint blue magic circle base plates are being filled with the numbers broadcast in the broadcast. Yes, and a majestic and profound fluctuation began to pass out from the magic circle bit by bit, calming down all the excavation team members who were still excited.

This is the power of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field. Also, it is powerful enough to connect any two points in the multiverse in an instant.

"100%."

The soft female voice stopped counting down, and she said: "The energy resonance is over."

Hum—a deep buzz sounded, and at this moment, a black field was launched on all the bases of the magic circle, engulfing all the members of the exploration team. In the field, a low and clear voice could be vaguely heard. the sound of.

"Multi-quadrant teleportation begins."

In Starfall 838, at 17:21:44 on March 11th, the airship Gransafa communicated with the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Field, launching the first official exploration of another world in history.

And in the void, a tall man stood near the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Field, watching the arrival of the Grand Saifa, and the rise and end of countless time-space fluctuations, with a faint silver snake shadow entangled On its right arm, it appears to be talking to the man.

"I didn't expect that you humans would find the target faster than me."

The steel python Karlis said to the man with emotion: "It took me a lot of time to confirm that your lost demiplane is roughly located in the center of the 'Dark Realm', and you rely on a vague signal to , it also touched the dark realm."

"But the one who confirmed that the target is located in the dozen or so worlds at the center of the dark realm is you, Karlis."

The man, that is, Joshua nodded heavily, and sincerely thanked: "I'm sorry for your inconvenience, but I asked you to pay so much for our world of Mycroft."

"The relationship between you and me, why should I thank you? The dozen or so restoration beams you gave me have already been invested in those Grandia survivors. Many of them lost body parts and even All the seriously injured internal organs have been healed, and the morale of the entire survivor group has been greatly boosted. Even if it’s just for those children, I should do my best to help you.”

Speaking of repairing the beam of light, Karliss' tone was a little surprised and sighed: "I really never thought that the power of steel could be used in such a fine way... This is probably the individual life, and our kind of The difference in the will of the world, I will never be able to use my authority to such a microcosmic level... Your use of the power of steel has already surpassed most steel pythons."

Joshua naturally accepted Karliss' sincere appreciation, but he didn't talk much about this topic, but mentioned another thing, "Speaking of it, Karliss, why do you call the area near the great vortex of void? Some areas of the 'Dark Realm'? How is it different?"

"The dark realm is the space-time realm where many life worlds that have been severely damaged by the initial fire but have not been completely extinguished."

When Karliss said this, he couldn't help laughing bitterly: "Actually, the original world of Mycroft and me, as well as the destroyed worlds around them, form a dark field. In these worlds, there may be remnants of life, but most Some of them are lingering, and they are only one step away from falling into the abyss... The environment is very harsh, if it weren't for those little guys of yours who are so well-equipped, I would have prevented you from sending people to those worlds."

"Yeah."

Joshua had already guessed about this, so he didn't say much, but fell into silence. But after a while, he shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, so what about the danger, I have already taken comprehensive precautions for them, and the next thing to look at is their hard power."

"That's right. Why do you need to worry about what happened to them? Every life has a trajectory. It is enough that you can change some trajectory. There is no need to confirm that every life can successfully go to the end. That's impossible, they have their own way to go."

Regarding what Carliss said, Joshua shrugged helplessly. He knew that his mentality was not right... After all, a guy like him who often goes to explore other worlds alone is not qualified to say that others take risks, but even Yes, caring is inevitable.

However, he really doesn't need to worry, because the fighters have already made preparations for the second move.

"Don't underestimate the repair beam, little ones." He whispered to himself in the void, "It's not just a useful tool for repairing injuries..."

With that said, he closed his eyes.

One side of Joshua's spiritual sea was originally a chaotic void of darkness.

But now, all the chaos and nothingness have receded, and there is only a hazy black mist... And in the mist, one after another silver stars are lit up, and finally turned into shining stars .

It could be seen that another eight stars flew towards the distance rapidly, and plunged into the hazy dark mist.

Joshua opened his eyes, and he whispered to Karlis next to him, "Go back."

"Take me to the world of Karlis... I haven't visited your place for a long time."

"Welcome most, Reigniter, all worlds will open to you."

The second update including yesterday... yesterday suddenly dropped in temperature, and I caught a cold...

After coding, my body is much worse than before, and I really need to exercise more...
