Soul of Burning Steel

The wind was blowing, making the dusty clothes flutter. A man wearing a hooded desert robe was walking in the desert in the evening. The wind and sand, which was slightly cooler than at noon, hit him, causing the fine dust Clothes gather in the creases and then stay like water.

This is the world of Karlis, the Monadra Desert.

Legend has it that this place used to be a mountain range, but because of a terrifying battle and a huge world change, the mountain range split and even shattered into the desert it is today.

However, it is precisely because of this that many minerals and various rare materials hidden in the mountains are randomly scattered all over the desert, and they are very easy to find. If you look for risks, you will definitely be able to gain a lot.

The man who was trekking in the dust had been searching for more than ten days, but unfortunately, his luck was not good. Not only did he fail to find the precious minerals that the major city-states sought after, but he was also lost in the wind and sand. middle.

The cold wind that was getting colder and colder at night was blowing, and the silted dust even made the man stop involuntarily, shaking out the gravel that had accumulated in his clothes, at least two to three kilograms—this action certainly made him feel a lot easier. But it also caused the soles of his feet to sway, accidentally fell into the sand, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of dry gravel.

At this time, it can be seen that on the man's waist, there is a snake-shaped coat of arms cast from silver metal, with a few small characters engraved on it.

【C... Si... on behalf of...】

Probably because of the severe wear and tear caused by the desert weather, only these small characters can be seen, and the others are really hard to distinguish because of excessive wear.

"Bah... Looks like today is the day I die..."

He spat out the gravel in his mouth vigorously, but the man only felt his mouth was dry, and a feeling of dizziness, as if he had been hit hard, suddenly appeared in his mind. He knew that his mental and physical strength had reached the limit, so It was only when he was shaking the sand that he suddenly became unsteady on his feet... But this ending is not unexpected. As the "Callis agent", his mission is to make life better for all compatriots living in this world.

There is likely to be a batch of high-quality thorium in the Monadra Desert, which is of indescribable value to the city's magic recycling system. The man knows that he is not the only one who entered the desert, but he should be the only one who finds it. The one who took the thorium vein.

What's the use of just finding it, a sudden sandstorm made him lose all his luggage, and he could only walk in the wind and sand blankly by himself until he became a dry mummy.

When thinking of this, the man realized that he had no strength to stand up from the wind and sand. He felt that countless gravels were piling up on his body, as if they were going to quickly bury him... But the man did not resist, his brain was almost at this moment. Stopped, he just closed his eyes, ready to wait for the moment when he couldn't breathe.

However, after a long time.

"I... didn't die?"

The man didn't wait until the gravel covered his cheeks and blocked his breathing... The short rest made him regain some energy, and he opened his eyes suspiciously.

Then, he saw two or three dots of silver light, spinning beside his body, and the dust flying in the air obeyed the orders of these dots of light, and was blocked by a vaguely semicircular silver shield.

"Another lost traveler, do you want to save him?"

"These travelers from the outside world are very bad. They kidnapped Sister Xingya last time, and they haven't come back yet. Brother Gurney is going out to find her."

"Let's save them. After all, they are still life. They are still useful to the mother of all things."

After hearing these voices, the man suddenly thought of countless legends circulating around the desert... That is the light wandering among the sand and dust, representing the existence of vitality and hope, as long as you enter the depths of the Monadra Desert and If you die in an accident, you can see these lights, get their reception, and return to the world outside the desert safely.

Men actually don't believe these rumors at all - although their city has just migrated to this world not long ago, it has been confirmed long ago that this is a world that has been revived after destruction, and there are no original creatures multiplying in it . The light in the desert is absolutely deceiving.

But now, the firm belief deep in his heart began to shake... At this moment, those few flying light spots seemed to have confirmed his opinion, and the man suddenly noticed that his body was lifted by an inexplicable cold force, and then Start moving quickly with the flying of these points of light!

The speed of the flight is so fast that the man has no time to remember the way he came from - there is no landmark in the desert that can be used as a reference for memory. He smelled the familiar smell of plants, felt the vitality of life... most importantly, he smelled the smell of water!

With all his strength, the man opened his eyes a little and looked at the ocean of light in front of him.

But what he saw was a large sea of ​​silver flowers blooming in the desert, and countless luminous villains with elder wings flying above the sea of ​​flowers.

...

"These immigrants from the Grandia world developed very quickly. It took them just a few years to formally take root here and gain a firm foothold."

High above the world of Calliss, a black-haired man stood on the clouds, flying randomly high in the sky according to the direction of the wind, and beside him, there seemed to be an invisible spiritual body communicating with him.

"This is normal. After all, the world of Grandia is actually doomsday at the end. They are all doomsday survivors and have a complete doomsday social structure. When they come to you, where the situation is much better, they can naturally stand firm quickly. root, and even redevelop civilization.”

The black-haired man answered the spiritual body's emotion. He looked down at the desert below him, and said with a strange expression: "However, Karlis, you never told me these things...well, about the flower fairy."

"There's none?"

The steel python, Karliss, pretended to be surprised and said, "That's probably because I forgot...and you didn't tell me that the piece of steel I gave you was actually turned into a steel element by you. "

Joshua was too lazy to talk nonsense with Karliss about meaningless trifles. He lowered his head and looked at the peaceful silver flower sea in the middle of the desert, with an unnatural expression on his face: "From these flower fairies, I feel The aura of my strength... don't say you didn't notice it!"

"You're right."

In this regard, Karlis nodded, and readily admitted: "These goblins are indeed born from the remnants of your power, and I personally opened their wisdom, so that they have the most basic social structure and culture."

Afterwards, following Calliss' narration and Joshua's own speculation, the warrior soon knew how these goblin-like luminous figures appeared.

After Joshua used the power of the Burning Soul King for the first time to rekindle the flames of the world of Karliss, he himself left the world of Karliss very quickly, not knowing the changes in the world afterwards, and he came back several times afterwards, He basically wandered around the immigrants in the Grandia world, and didn't have the energy to look around, so he really didn't know about it.

And the Flower Fairy...or, the Silver Fairy, was born when the warrior left for the first time.

At that time, the world recovered briefly after the flames rekindled, and then slowly extinguished again because there was no life and the reincarnation of souls could not be reshaped. The world of Karlis just stopped the destruction and did not return to normal. Regarding this, Steel The python doesn't care, because its foundation is still intact, as long as there is no power of chaos, it will naturally be able to regenerate new life from the wreckage of the world, and then rebuild the ecological circle after spending tens of millions of years.

Of course, if there is an ancient dragon, it won't take that long, and the task may be completed in thousands of years.

However, after Joshua left, it discovered an unexpected harvest... that is a small silver flower located in the original Monadra Mountain Range and now in the middle of the Monadra Desert.

This petal is like a small metal flower with extremely tenacious vitality. It is the only life that has awakened from recovery but has not withered afterward. Seeing this flower, the steel python Karlis immediately understood that this must be It is the key to its rapid recovery of ecology - as long as it uses this flower as the source to develop many plant life, then one day, the barren world of Karlis will be revived and slowly become rich.

"But a few years later—probably the day you send the remnants of Grandia's world in, and your legend will begin."

The spirit of Karlis was with Joshua, standing on the cloud with him, watching the silver flower sea in the desert, it shook its head helplessly: "All the silver flowers seem to resonate, their bodies A ray of steel appeared, and then these beings were born."

Also known as the Silver Fairy.

They are fairies because they are indeed the same kind of life as the fairies in Mycroft's world. They are all condensed from pure natural energy and born of pure energy life of their own will. But unlike fairies, fairies Rely on the power of elements or even ether to reproduce, while the silver goblin can only rely on the power of steel—that is, the protection of the will of the world, or the cultivation of a steel power holder like Joshua.

Silver goblins are a kind of pure life of order. They knew how to cooperate from the beginning of their birth, and they almost never had infighting. They were extremely united. If they are immigrants from the Landia world, then these silver goblins should be the only way for the other party to save their own world.

"These little guys have high adaptability to the environment."

Gazing at the light spots flying among the silver flowers from a distance, Joshua nodded solemnly: "They hardly have any conditions, they only need 'substance' to survive... This is better than the delicate goblins. They entered the low-demon world, but they really killed them."

"Survival is easy, but reproduction is a big problem." Regarding this, Karliss sighed slightly: "If there is no me to give birth, it will take hundreds of years for the silver goblin to reproduce, and the carrier of their reproduction is Yinhua is really too fragile, if you are not careful, it will be easily destroyed by other existences."

Joshua also saw this, and he also knew that the problem was not limited to that.

Silver goblins are pure order beings. They love mutual aid by nature and are willing to help other races of life. Any travelers who stray into the depths of the Monadra Desert and get lost, they will take the initiative to send these people out of the desert, or when the other party is confused Guided the way, in just a few years, they rescued more than seventy travelers and became legends among desert travelers.

But precisely because of this, the silver goblin is being watched by other beings.

Just like the abducted goblin that a certain goblin said, some travelers have taken a fancy to the silver goblin's various peculiar abilities—for example, the ability to create a shield that blocks wind and sand, and the ability to easily find metal veins— ——So they always use all kinds of rhetoric to lure the pure silver goblins to work for them.

Joshua raised his head and scanned the entire world of Carliss. When the vision of steel was activated, he immediately found eleven silver elves who were living with the Grandia people in various places. They all left during these years Huahai, the silver goblin who went to the outside world.

The soldier frowned slightly.

Although most of the silver goblins are the guests of the Grandia team, they are protected in every way and used as mascots, but there are still a few teams who just use lies and tricks to trick the silver goblins into working for them. These teams don't even pay the goblins, just occasionally give a little metal as food, but the naive silver goblins don't think there is anything wrong with this, after all, they used to live like this in Huahai.

"That's not okay."

The warrior shook his head.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Joshua knew that the birth of Silver Flower was obviously caused by the vitality and power of order left by him at the beginning, and the birth of Silver Fairy was undoubtedly his advanced legend, which caused a small area The steel resonance phenomenon is like many worlds born one after another in the void maelstrom. In the world of Karliss, countless lives originating from him were born because he stepped into the legend.

In a sense, if the Syndicate (with Lisa) who accidentally got the link of the power of steel is Joshua's first saint, then these silver goblins flying around are probably... the warrior's first saint. A group of 'Family'.

Although he really didn't want to admit that his first batch of family members were actually a group of goblins, but the fact was that, and Joshua didn't think there was anything wrong with it, anyway, he wasn't an evil god after all, and he didn't need his family members to cross the barriers of the world for him. Fighting to conquer the world, the glowing silver light group is always better than those messy flesh and blood combinations, and seductiveness is also a good attribute.

However, since he confirmed that the Silver Goblin was his family, Joshua would not allow them to be carefree in this way—or to say, to develop in a muddle-headed way. Calliss himself doesn't know how to cultivate these life forms with the power of steel, but it just so happens that some small things recently invented by the warriors are just right for them.

Above the clouds, high in the sky, Joshua stretched out his hand and pointed at the silvery sea of ​​flowers. The incomparably fierce steel force surged at his fingertips, even affecting the movement of the sky.

At this moment, within a radius of thousands of miles, all the flowing clouds are not following the direction of the wind. They slowly stop, go retrograde, and then gather towards someone's fingertips-the strong wind is surging, and it can be seen that a huge A swirl of black clouds formed over the Monadra Desert.

The dust rises, the light distorts, and the lightning moves in the vortex. Along with the gathering of a large number of discrete matter particles, a little silver star flashes in the center of the dark clouds in the sky, and then turns into a beam of light that reaches the sky and falls, descending on the silver flower sea. Right in the center!

Immediately, countless silver goblins flew up in a panic, and the light surged, instantly turning the sky over Huahai into a hazy silver nebula, but soon, this nebula discovered that not only did the beam of light not destroy anything, it even Condensed in place, turned into some kind of materialized cylindrical light entity, exuding a... strange friendly atmosphere.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Carliss was puzzled by Joshua's actions, and said in a puzzled way: "I understand that you want to help these silver goblins, but this beam of light...isn't it the repairing beam of light that you told me before? Silver goblins don't need to be repaired, given their size, if they are injured, they will either die directly, or they can slowly assimilate dust and be reborn."

"Of course it is to solve the silver goblin's biggest problem."

Withdrawing his hand, Joshua allowed the huge dark cloud vortex to dissipate slowly, and he extracted the water vapor and windy sand in it as raw materials for making and repairing the beam of light. Regarding the question of the steel python, the soldier replied in a natural tone: " This is the perfect gift for them."

Repairing the beam of light is actually a group of steel power clusters loaded with automatic repair programs. Because Joshua himself is completely composed of steel power, and also uses the power of steel as the carrier of his will, so the repair of the beam of light is part of his power , also has a part of his will, plus it is the power of pure steel, the combination of the two will certainly make the silver goblin feel close.

In addition, the restoration beam of light has a strong defensive ability, and can create various protective barriers by controlling electromagnetic force and gravity, and this large restoration beam of light can be used as the base camp of the silver goblin to protect the silver goblin's hometown of Huahai from being destroyed by legends. The following existence is breached... and it is also the most suitable place for the silver goblin to store its offspring, which is much better than the silver flower.

"They will find out how to repair the beam of light by themselves, so I don't need to talk too much."

Joshua didn't want to interfere too much with the normal development of the silver elves. The elves in the Mycroft world had four legendary queens, and they could even create the world. The warrior didn't want his intervention to affect this race with great potential. , but the other party is also his own family after all, so he provided basic shelter and reproduction help.

As for those silver elves who have been deceived, or invited outside Huahai, the warriors do not intend to help them, because this is their own choice. Send the information of the power to all the silver goblins, let them learn some basic exercises to strengthen their abilities.

"The weak will be exploited. Even if they are protected by the strong, it will not help the essence. But I can make them strong-under my protection."

Joshua slowly walked in the air, he said softly: "But if you are willing to be weak, or if you don't desire to become strong, then I have nothing to do."

"Are you paying too much attention to the so-called 'free will'?"

When Joshua was approaching the edge of the world, the steel python Calliss, who had been silent for a long time, asked in a very puzzled tone: "Joshua, this is your family... I just know this That's why I supported them, but I didn't intervene... If you want, you can completely raise all the silver goblins to become your powerful combat power, and they are willing to fight for you, the creator!"

The predecessor of the evil god of famine, the crystal insect Urmadeus, was not actually a powerful fighting race, but when the world fell into the evil god, the prototype of the crystal insect was promoted to its powerful family, and it became a creature that could fight in the void. Shuttle sailing, even a powerful chaotic life that can recreate a civilization by itself.

With Joshua's power, he may not be able to raise his core family to a legendary level like the evil gods, but there is no problem at all if he rises to the peak of gold - with the life essence of a silver goblin, Joshua Ya can let them decay matter easily, and learn the attack of molecular breakdown level, which is an extremely high-strength attack method for any race.

"The basis of liberty is the liberty not to interfere with the liberty of others."

But regarding this opinion, Joshua seriously shook his head and said, "If I don't want to become an unscrupulous monster in the multiverse, then I must adhere to this rule."

"Even if a group of silver goblins are promoted by me, does it mean anything to the state I am in now? As long as I want to, I can create an attack platform that is larger than their entire population in thirty minutes. Each platform can launch legendary-level energy shocks, can induce material decay, and can absorb free energy in the void to act automatically... Is it necessary to kill the future of a race for a little combat power that is not important?"

Of course not necessary. Karliss understood this too.

For today's Joshua and Steel Python, time is meaningless. If it is not for the invasion of evil gods, they can spend thousands of years waiting for a group of primitive people to develop a civilization that can enter and leave the void. Teach, then the speed will be even faster. The silver goblin has a good foundation and can completely develop a civilization that is not inferior to the goblins in the world of Mycroft. It has multiple legendary powerhouses and even has the opportunity to go further.

There is no need to overwhelm the seedlings, that's good, let them develop freely and make their own choices, so whether it is becoming stronger or maintaining the status quo, it is very good.

What's more, as Joshua said.

Thinking of this, the steel python Karlis couldn't help sighing in his own spirit.

Indeed, if you don't want soldiers to get used to this kind of coercive means under repeated strong intervention, and eventually slowly become a rampant existence, then it is indeed better not to start this from the beginning... Even if it is It's a trivial possibility, and it's not worth trying with such an indifferent force.

"Okay, there's no need to be so frustrated about such a trivial matter. After all, with the size of the silver goblins, if I want them to go to the battlefield, I will feel like a disgusting bastard."

Joshua didn't know what Karliss was thinking, he clapped his hands, and sat down in the sky of Karliss World - he directly manifested a general chair in the air, and then took out a He smiled and said, "Come on, the teleportation is almost over, you and I can see together, what kind of world have these young men from the Exploration Department gone to now?"

As he said that, the brilliant gem—that is, the spiritual terminal released a light curtain under the influence of the warrior's power, and this light curtain was pitch black and kept flickering.

However, not long after, the light curtain gradually calmed down, and the signal began to connect, and a little light and shadow could be vaguely seen. In the light and shadow, several human figures were busy moving.

That is the image of everyone in the foreign exploration team.

This should have been a plot that should have been written several volumes ago, but... the pace is too tight, I just couldn't find the time to write the Silver Fairy...
