Soul of Burning Steel

"... Regardless of this, Your Excellency Grand Inquisitor, what's the point of saying so much?"

Regarding the old man of the Ashes Order, Inquisitor Glorn’s provocative words, Alpha was silent for a moment, then sneered and shook his head: "After all, I am just a stupid guy who can’t even see your traps. It’s still in your palms now-if you want to talk about black, just talk about black, and if you want to talk about white, just talk about white. I can’t say no, right.”

After saying this, Alpha sighed in his heart--the Ashes did not arrest themselves before, because they needed to find this'crystal obelisk' by themselves, and now their goal has been achieved, then Is there any value in one's own existence? Can the safety of my wife and children be guaranteed? Seriously, this is really no guarantee at all. Although the Ashes Order is an Orthodox organization that is well-known throughout the Shining Region, it is not a good person.

"Do you think that your role is just a little bit?"

However, Gloen looked at him with a smile but a smile: "Bachelor Alpha, don't underestimate your own value-whoever you think can easily travel through the distant dusk area and come to the no light zone. Like a destiny guide, I came to my destination without encountering any chaotic monsters. In the end, I crossed all the safety facilities of this crystal obelisk without risk and came to the deepest part of this prehistoric ruin?"

"Do you think that ordinary people can give birth to the talented wizards of your daughter and your son?"

Hearing these words, Alpha immediately raised his head, his eyes staring straight at the old man in front of him, his eyes could be described as terrifying.

But Gronn didn’t take it seriously. He shook his head at the guards around him, indicating that they don’t need to stay in place to guard, but let them explore the corner of the hall-after the guards left, gray hair The judge motioned to Alpha to follow him, and then strode towards the center of this hall.

Although he could not wait to kill Gron’s family with a stab, Alpha really wanted to know the news of his daughter and son, so he could only keep up. Gron knew this, so he said without looking back, “Don’t worry. Well, Bachelor Alpha, your daughter, son, and your wife are all very good. Rather, their living conditions in the Ashes Order are much better than what you can provide in the Knowledge. After all, we need The power of your daughter, come to move the stars."

"Move... the stars?!"

When hearing this sentence, Alpha's mind flashed countless ideas, such as the large-scale disappearance of stars in the twilight area, the expanding matte zone, the ultimate goal of the Ashes, and his teacher, etc. Human purpose-but in the end, thousands of words are condensed into one sentence: "What do you do with my daughter?! What moves the stars, Siboya..."

"Siboya Falster is just an ordinary little girl—are you right to say that? But it's so wrong."

Although Glorn seems to be old, he is a strong expert at the Extreme Yi level after all. Even if Alpha is so angry, he can't beat him, but he didn't stimulate Alfa much, but said straightforwardly: "Don't worry, Siber. Ya is now in the position of a holy son in the sect. No one dares to do anything to her. Although your son is not so amazing and talented, he is also a godsend who can adapt to the power of the divine tool. Not to mention your wife. Having said that, she doesn't even know your movements, only knows that you may have gone far away, and are now happily taking the children, immersed in the joy of their success."

"Then, that hand..."

"We had perfect cloning technology 40,000 years ago-and you didn't even check if that hand is your child's. It wasted the strength of our technicians. It's really too gullible."

Although I don’t know if what the other party said is true or false, but according to Glown’s arrival, he has not hurt himself, and the other party’s tone is too casual, instead of lying, Alpha’s originally surging hatred is stuck like this. After a while...Of course, he also knew very well that the other party relied on verbal skills to evoke and dispel his hatred and anger, and to kill his sense of confrontation, so that he could better open his mouth afterwards. , But he wants to know the current situation of his relatives more than this.

But unfortunately, Gron didn't say much, he just continued to move towards the center of the hall, and then threw a word.

"Do you know, Bachelor Alpha, there used to be gods in this world."

"...This is a well-known fact. From fifty thousand years ago to one hundred thousand years ago, this long fifty thousand years has always been the age of the gods."

Ignoring the other party's'what nonsense are you talking about', Glown continued: "But fifty thousand years ago, the age of the gods ended abruptly-all gods lost their powers, and naturally, they all perished."

"First, the **** of war, then the **** of duel, the **** of murder, and other gods related to fighting and killing. The gods lost their powers first, and then the gods of various regions, gods of creation-in the end, all gods Lost his divine power. At that time, the Ashes were still a cult of different deities and an organization that served the heavenly Father. Therefore, we have recorded in detail the time and sequence of each deity's loss of divine power. Since then, many floating in the air The city just fell from the sky and turned into rubble and dust."

"Do you understand? In less than five years, all the gods have gradually lost their powers, and our gods have no time to prepare for warning-the temples on the Great God Mountain were all abandoned, and the center was centered on them. The built divine power transmission network also disappeared, our country was divided by a long distance, and our cities were destroyed one by one-the dazzling bond that we once had was completely ended because of the departure of divine power and the gods. Up."

Speaking of this, Glohn’s tone was a deep regret, but he did not seem to regret the passing of the gods, but rather the weakening of the civilization of the light chaser: "Our civilization has grown from a vast expanse of dusk. The area, completely shrunk back to the shining zone...but guess what we found then?"

"The shining zone is shrinking and shrinking."

At this moment, the two of them have come to the center of the hall. Just above their heads are the crystal prisms of the sleeping blond boy-and Glown turned his head, with a look of consternation that could not be suppressed, and a little expression on his face. Suddenly Alpha looked at each other, and his tone was flat: "In just two hundred years, the area of ​​the shining area has shrunk by one-twentieth, and the rate of this reduction is still accelerating! According to this trend, only It will take less than a thousand years. All light chasers will probably live in the eternal twilight or even the eternal darkness."

——But 50,000 years have passed, and the Shining Region still exists.

Thinking of this fact and the other side's saying of "moving stars", a terrible possibility surged into Alpha's mind. He and Glorn looked at each other, and then slowly said, "So, you just move the stars in other places. ...Come to the Shining Region? This is how you continue the Shining Fire..."

"Accurately speaking, it's not us, but the stars and sons."

The gray-haired grand judge's face was calm. He whispered praise to Heavenly Father, and then continued: "At the most desperate moment, the founders of the Ashes found that in this dying world, gradually appeared Some very special children."

"They—yes, these special children are basically all girls. There is no such restriction in certain races of light chasers that can reproduce single **** or multi-sex. But anyway, these special children are all girls. They have the ability to breed offspring. And they... they can control the trajectory of the stars, and even control the earth of steel to a certain extent, accelerating the speed of the formation of stars!"

"It's weird, isn't it? Don't show unbelievable expressions. This is the truth, and we don't know how the original founders discovered this... Anyway, in the beginning, we called these children'star-horsemen' ', or the reincarnation of all powerful gods, because their commands can control the world and drive the actions of the stars, but later we discovered that these children are more like'guidance' or'hope' than'drive' 'The stars are moving in the direction they want, not command and control, so now, we call them the sons of the stars."

Although it is an understatement, Alpha can imagine how desperate the light chasers who discovered that the area of ​​the shining zone was rapidly shrinking in the era of losing the gods and welcoming the invasion of Chaos, and they found the'Star Son' After that, what a joy it was—this kind of exhilaration of life in desperation was definitely not something that these latecomers could experience.

At this time, Gront's tone also seemed sincere.

"The Ashes have been trying to discover as much as possible and cultivate more celestial sons. We transport stars from the twilight area into the shining area, and provide new firewood for the central area...Fifty thousand years have passed, our Civilization is still going on. We have not ushered in the dark age when the flames are extinguished, and we are still burning tenaciously like ashes."

"So, do you know? Alpha Bachelor."

"Our'Ashen Order' is the existence that has been trying to save the entire world! And your teacher, and your boss, we did not find out, the'Star Son' that we only recently learned, they also have control The abilities of the stars, but they are unwilling to contribute this power to contribute to the continuation of our entire civilization. On the contrary, they have been secretly sabotaging our search for other stars! This is an act that is hostile to all the light chasers, yes Nearly chaotic behavior!"

"Join us-your teacher is unwilling to contribute to civilization. We understand this selfishness, but we hope that you can put aside your prejudices and become one of us."

While Alpha was shocked, it was also important to connect all the clues... Why did Teacher Carllis care so much about his daughter? Why did the disappearance of stars not cause any waves in the League of Nations? This is not simple-the upper floors are the residents of the shining area, they must have no hesitation in supporting this behavior of plundering the stars in the twilight area!

In this way, basically everyone's actions became reasonable and reasonable, and the reason why the Ashes had high-pressure intimidation in the early stage, and now they are so gentle with themselves, I am afraid I know that I can't betray the teacher so easily, so I find a chance. Follow it up, try to convince yourself in a place no one knows, be a spy, or follow the vine, find the teacher and their hidden stronghold, and then get the teacher and them, more stars and sons.

Everything makes sense...except for one thing.

"You are all right, Grand Inquisitor, I can't think of anything to refute--in order to continue the shining zone, the existence of the true core circle of our civilization, even if the stars in the twilight circle are looted, countless colonies are destroyed, in fact It doesn’t matter. After all, the people I know and know all live in the shining area, and all this is in my favor."

"But... what exactly is this crystal obelisk? Why do you follow me here and look for it all the time, and this life sleeping in the obelisk..."

With that said, Alpha raised his head and glanced at the dense inscriptions and runes on the crystal prism above his head, as well as the shining and converging light. His tone fell down: "Moreover, how does the Son of Stars control so much? Of the stars? You have always refused to tell me about Siboya, just saying that she is a holy son and is valued... But is she alive? Is she happy? Isn't it hard? Why don't you tell me this? A father, I just want to know this!"

"...You have too many questions."

Glown sighed: "This crystal obelisk... I can only tell you that this obelisk can actually be regarded as a kind of'reinforced signal tower'. There is one near the Great God Mountain. As for the life sleeping here. … Isn’t the mural already said very clearly? A man of the seven sacred positions in the era of the beginning of all things, a great hero who fought against chaos with the Father."

"You want to wake him up?" Finally, Alpha said in a rather dry tone: "Let this sleeping hero work for you?"

"Of course not, or it is not him that we want to awaken-but we need his power now, otherwise, how can we control billions only by relying on those stars who were even ordinary people and even little girls not long ago? The flow of thousands of stars?"

Having said that, Gron glanced at Alpha's expressionless face, and the white-haired judge couldn't help sighing: "It seems that you still don't plan to cooperate, right? I'm obviously so patient and gentle... Why can’t you understand? In this dark age when the flame is about to extinguish, all means are necessary. We have done everything we can to continue the flame for tens of thousands of years. The sacrifices of generations of brothers and sisters in the sect... For our civilization The cult does a lot of evil things, but we will not regret it."

"Of course, if I can, I really want to go by myself."

With that said, Glorn waved his right hand, and sparks ignited between his palms, which instantly turned into a long sword of flames. He slowly approached Alpha and declared for the last time: "Bachelor Alpha, you are Light chaser, I will not kill you, but we will brainwash you so that your knowledge and identity can be used by us. It is best not to resist, I will try my best to be as hard as possible."

"I believe that you do give everything to save the civilization of the light chasers, but I am more willing to trust my teacher and my own instincts than you! Thank you for your explanation. I now understand a lot of things."

Facing Glown, who was approaching himself and was a big class stronger than himself, Alpha's body trembled uncontrollably, but he still stood firmly in place-the top of his ears has become sharper, and the surface of his body has become more pronounced. It was the man covered by a thin layer of silver light, suddenly raised his head, and then said loudly to the endless brilliance hanging at the top of the hall: "Praise the master! Stop the dormant warming program! Revitalize and repair the light beam! Start the wake-up process! Mycroft lingua franca with a silver fairy accent)

"The unknown Pope, the heroes of prehistoric times-these people in red and black robes want to use you as a battery!" (Silver Fairy Accent Mycrof's common language)

"...What are you talking about?" (lightly speaking)

The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment. He vaguely felt that the language Alpha spoke was a bit familiar. He seemed to have heard some similar clips somewhere...but soon he realized that it was wrong.

Because, an extremely powerful, extremely majestic, even, beyond the ordinary gods, reached a kind of ‘limit’ of majestic mighty force, is recovering above the heads of everyone present, waking up, filled with their own horrible breath.

Om————A low buzzing sound came, as if it was shaking the whole obelisk, the whole world.

"Why, what's the matter?!"

Although I don't know the reason, there is no doubt that all of this is related to Alpha who suddenly speaks and speaks an unknown language! After a hundred battles, Glown made a decisive decision and rushed to Alpha at full speed-but when he didn't kill at the end and just wanted to persuade Alpha to brainwash it, he was doomed to this end.

Because, accompanied by the solidified silver crystal prism, accompanied by the crisp sound of broken glass, it turned into a beam of light that penetrates the entire hall and even the obelisk, the light golden long-haired boy sleeping in the crystal, just like this Gently opened his eyes-a huge heartbeat came, rumbling and rumbling, and in this increasingly rapid, more and more vibrant voice, the boy clenched his fists, he was lost , And then suddenly.

Ah-such a long time has passed?

But it doesn't matter, because he has awakened from a time long enough to forget everything, from a long time to an eternal sleep like death.

Lowering his head, the light in the blond boy's eyes was very gentle, like the dawn of early summer, kind and warm, watching everyone in the hall, he laughed, and then blinked.

Then, all the rays of light, all the actions of all people, all came to a halt.

"Between orders, is there still a reincarnation of disputes?"

And it was not until then that Glown, who was stuck in place and maintained a charge towards Alpha, remembered where he had heard this language-it was an ancient divine language, and it was rumored that the creation of heaven and earth. At the beginning, the language used by some of the gods... and, compared with the voices of the gods that have been handed down, the language in the boy's mouth is more primitive and gentler.

"I understand, the reason for your dispute... Even if it is between correctness and correctness, it is important to distinguish between superior and inferior. As long as you are not the strong, you must face a dilemma."

In an instant, the colorful light bubbles lingering at the top of the hall just gathered behind the young man, and the light gathered and turned into a pure white robe covering him. He took a step forward, and the majestic holy light was like a tsunami. Generally surging out in all directions, running through the upper and lower ends of the entire crystal obelisk!

Outside the crystal obelisk, in the matte zone, you can see that on the mountain of chaotic corpses that buried the entire obelisk, cracks like blood vessel scars began to burst, and holy radiance came from these cracks. They burst out, they are like a sharp sword, a beacon-and after the entire mountain is shattered by the huge holy light, it is extremely huge, extremely huge, as high as twenty-four light points. The towering mountain body crashed and faded like this, and a bright and incomparable holy light shot from the top of the obelisk, was strengthened and amplified, and finally turned into a beam of light that penetrates the endless darkness of the non-light zone, reaching the sky and the earth!

And in the huge earthquake gradually spreading towards the endless distance, in the infinitely rising smoke and dust, a majestic and spectacular silver obelisk, just emerged from the ancient rock formations and history, and stood on the ground with a dazzling holy light. , Traverse thousands of kilometers, countless chaotic monsters just touch, they all turn into fly ash!

At this moment, in the obelisk, Alpha, who was also stalled, was looking at the frightened Glorn, his eyes full of joy.

"I didn't expect it?"

"I can understand these inscriptions!"

Since entering the obelisk, Alpha has always felt that there is a kind of instinct awakening in his own blood. When he looked at the mural before, he felt that he seemed to vaguely understand the complicated inscriptions. As time goes by, this memory and The knowledge becomes clearer and clearer—thanks to Gron’s constant desire to persuade him to join the Ashes Order, otherwise, he might not be able to read the inscription on the top of the hall next to the crystal prism.

[Clean up the dust every three days]

[Don't forget to check the dormancy warming program]

[Before starting the wake-up process, remember to activate and repair the light beam, otherwise it will be difficult for the sleeping person to come out by themselves]

[Don’t forget to praise the master loudly (emphasis)]

【】

This series of inscriptions, if you don’t know it, it’s fine, but after knowing it, Alpha found that the characters were written skewedly, and the fonts were large and small. It was completely obvious that the life of writing this text was not thought of at all. It’s a matter of beauty-but don't care about it! Awakening this unknown sleeping life may be what the teacher asked him to come here to do. Being able to understand these poorly written inscriptions is undoubtedly something that only oneself can do!

At this moment, beyond the obelisk, deep in the non-light zone, at the top of another mountain.

"It seems that the little guy did a very good job. Another old friend has awakened, and he is different from those of us who awakened halfway through and have no power. He has the power to change the current situation."

Dressed in a brown capable explorer's suit, silver-haired, red-eyed, and fair-skinned, if it weren't for a weird goggles and binoculars, a well-known bachelor who was completely beautiful, Baron Karlis stared at the rising pure white beam of light in the distance. , She muttered to herself quite emotionally: "Speaking again, alas, I really don't understand...Why do we always have some strange things that are estrus to fairies in humans?"

"You made a mistake. As far as I know, this time the goblin confessed to that little guy's ancestor first."

On the side of Karlis, with the same silver hair and red eyes, but with a slightly healthy brown skin, Mycroft shook his head and fingers, and said: "Your race is relatively pure, but I am a mixed race. Got too much-do I need to tell you how the mermaid mixed with the centaur back then created the seahorse race?"

"……no."

Shocked by the fact that her friends have fallen below the lower limit of the three views of ordinary human beings~www.novelmtl.com~ Carliston took a moment, and then continued to look at the crystal obelisk, her tone was quite emotional: "It seems, I did not read it wrong—in the Zhaozhao Jingjing sentient beings in this steel continent, he is indeed the only one who has fully awakened the blood of the silver fairy and holds the internal management authority of this'Silver World'."

"Since all the silver goblins were sacrificed in the Battle of Chaos 50,000 years ago, and some of the remaining were voluntarily converted into'Divine Machines', this is probably the last bloodline left by that fellow's family."

"The guy who can attract the reincarnation of the Steel Python is naturally not an ordinary person. Compared to these, he is still staying with the group of Ash Cult, is it okay?"

Shrugging, there is no way to tell the secrets of the blood between the mermaid, the sagittarius and the seahorse. Mycroft looked a little uninterested: "If Iger accidentally lets them kill your student, this is the last The silver goblin authority is gone."

"Let’s not talk about whether Eagle is so dull, even if it’s dead, it’s resurrection. What's more, the Ashes will not do this. Although their methods are dirty and ugly, they destroy humanity, but they are also true. Working hard to save the world is the same as ours."

With that said, Karlis and Mykrov rose slowly at the same time, their bodies were wrapped in silver light, and the brilliance of transition was shining in the direction of the beacon of light in the distance, and they were leaping away. , When going to the place where the obelisk is, you can hear Karlis' last voice.

"It's just that, if they say, their purpose is to'continue the fire'."

"Then our purpose is to'fire out'."

——On the day when the salaries are exhausted, when the flames reignite.

This day will come, will come, and will come soon.

They firmly believed.
