Soul of Burning Steel

[The sun, the source of life, the leader of all fires, the king of all lights.

Nourish all things, drive away emptiness and silence.

Praise the sun, may he fill the sky forever. 】

【—Praise of the Sun】

The sun is the source of all energy in the world, and all things come from the blazing brilliance of the sun, so that they can flourish and grow instead of falling into the barren cold death.

If the world loses the sun, then the terrible night will come.

And the world in front of Joshua undoubtedly confirmed this point - the dark sky covered the sky and the scorching sun, completely blocking the sun's brilliance, so the earth sank into a barren plain, and there was only a piece of death in the world. of silence.

However, even in this sunless world, there is still day and night. When Joshua and the others first crossed over, although the inexplicable light source was extremely dim, at least they could see the surrounding scene, but now , all the light sources were extinguished, and apart from the respective glows emitted by the strong gold men, there was no more light in the world.

But in this speechless darkness, the sound of sirens resounding for hundreds of miles suddenly came from a distance, and the rumble of steel turning rumbled. Turning their heads, Joshua and others were shocked to find that, In the distance, there is a large mountain-like shadow that is approaching at a not slow speed.

"... Isn't that a mountain?"

Moria stood up immediately. He patted the dust on his buttocks, staring in surprise at the huge moving shadows in the distance: "I originally thought that shadows were pieces of mountains."

Clare also stood up slowly, staring in the same direction and said, "The mountain doesn't move."

"It's not like there are monsters as big as mountains." Joshua looked at the moving rhythm of the mountains in the distance, listened to the changes in the sound of the whistle, and quickly estimated the speed and distance of the other party in his heart. He said casually: "Old Mountain Nong, Fengshan Dragon, Fuyue Dragon...these are all monsters comparable to mountains and peaks, but this thing is obviously man-made from the sound."

In the distance, as the shadow gradually approached, the four people who stopped at the spot could already see each other's features in more detail—with each sound of the siren, several solid white air columns broke through the barrier of the gray mist , charged into the sky, and then dissipated, these mist that exuded a trace of fluorescence were extremely conspicuous in the black sky.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Now, more details can be heard in the sound. The sound of the steel turning is the sound of the track rolling over the rock and the axle turning slowly. Joshua and Rin glanced at each other, then at Moria and Claire. you.

"It's getting weirder and weirder."

He looked very interested, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. The strange sights and things in front of him aroused his curiosity, and Joshua seemed a little eager to try.

And Moria seemed to have discovered his intentions, and he immediately reminded: "Be careful, we don't know what is on the other side, are you planning to go there and investigate?"

"It's better to be cautious."

Clare agreed, and she frowned too.

In such a dead and silent world, suddenly there is a huge moving object—this is a huge steel creation like a mountain peak. No matter how you think about it, you need to carefully observe it before thinking about other things.

Hearing what the two said, Joshua just shook his head.

"My friends, do we have any other options?"

His expression looked very flat, as if he was just narrating the facts: "I don't think you have supplies, water, food and other things on your body. Although the strong gold can guarantee a certain fighting power without food, it is when the energy is active. Mycroft Continent, in this strange world that continuously absorbs our strength, we have no food and water, and rest is useless to consume our mind..."

Speaking of this, Joshua shook his head, and concluded: "Prudence is indeed a virtue. If it was in the past, I would definitely support thinking more before taking action-but now we are not qualified to do so."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head to confirm his position, and walked decisively towards the huge shadow, while Rin trotted all the way and followed closely behind the soldier, and smiled apologetically when he passed Moria and Claire one time.

"...Let's go."

After being silent for a while, the old dwarf shook his head and said with a smile: "He is indeed right, we are not qualified to dawdle now."

And Claire followed Moria closely, and walked towards the direction Joshua left. She looked at the ring of two snakes on her hand, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Not long after, they caught up with Joshua at the top of a small hill.

Why did this guy stop?

The old dwarf thought a little strangely. He stood on the left side of the warrior and looked straight ahead.

Then he also stopped in place in shock.

Saw.

What is displayed in front of everyone is a huge trapezoidal pyramid. Under the huge body comparable to mountains, there are huge bases and crawlers that occupy tens of square kilometers. The steel wheels are accompanied by terrifying magic power, supporting This active mountain moves across the land. Accompanied by the sound of rumbling rotation, the siren blew, and white columns of air sprayed out from both sides of the pyramid, turning into mist with magic fluorescent light, and drifting towards the sky.

Clare also came here and joined the observers. The green-haired elf beauty also stood there dumbfounded.

closer.

You can see all kinds of traces on this huge pyramid. It is made of countless silver-white steels. The left, right and rear sides are extremely smooth. top of the ladder. On both sides of the stairs, there are countless ancient stone carvings with strange shapes, most of which are warriors holding weapons and fighting various monsters. And on the flat top of the tower, there is a huge crystal ball standing upright. There is a faint golden light flowing in the ball, which is extremely dim and seems to be about to go out.

"Is this a moving mountain... such a huge pyramid."

Thinking of this, Joshua took a deep breath, even with his knowledge, he felt a strong shock.

It is not uncommon for him to see buildings comparable to mountains and peaks. The 'holy mountain' of the holy mountain in the far sea was built from scratch by generations of people of the holy light. The crystallization of wisdom, even the imperial capital of the northern empire, is located in the center of the three mountains, and its scale is not inferior to this huge pyramid. Not to mention the [Valley of Tears Fortress], which was built in the abyss by hundreds of millions of demons and hollowed out several worlds.

But no matter what, they won't move!

"This... this..."

Facing such a miraculous creation, even Moria's experience and knowledge over the past 100 years could not keep calm. He opened his eyes wide and stared dumbfounded at the huge steel pyramid driving towards them. There is no other thought in his mind: "Such a huge engineering creation, such a complicated structure of enchanting and alchemy, my God..."

"...I can actually feel a breath of nature?"

Close your eyes and feel the breath of the other party with your spirit. Not long after, Claire opened her eyes in doubt, and she sighed softly: "There is a complete ecological circle inside this pyramid...it's incredible."

"It's really unbelievable. You know, this is the civilization that can enter the astral world and travel in the multiverse, the last creation."

Recalling some information that the old steward had told him in the secret letter, Joshua who was originally silent suddenly said: "They used to resist the attack of the gods in the mountain-like fortress, and they were always planning counterattacks—— I thought it was just an exaggerated word, but I didn't expect it to be as big as a mountain."

Even far beyond the average hill.

"What should we do next?"

Unknowingly, the entire small team began to center on Joshua, and Clare subconsciously asked the soldiers for their opinions.

"What else can I do?"

The huge steel pyramid was driving towards the hillside where everyone was with a rumbling sound, and Joshua laughed: "You said it all, and I feel that there is an ecological circle in this pyramid - of course you have to go in first." Let's see."

Everyone, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
