Soul of Burning Steel

Nissia Snow Mountain is like a tall David soldier standing on a desolate ice field. Even the blizzard that covers the world cannot hide its figure.

Before this towering snow-capped mountain, there is a cedar forest that stretches to the end of the field of vision. The desolate ice field finally has some breath of life through the careful cultivation of Winter Castle Academy over the years, and among the pine forests, there is an extremely conspicuous Palmprint Lake, the brilliance of magic power is reflected from the magic crystal veins at the bottom of the lake, which is beautiful and dazzling.

If you expand your field of vision and look towards the mountainside, travelers who have been here a few years ago will be very surprised, because the original rugged and steep mountain of the snow-capped mountain has changed a lot from before, and the criss-crossed rocky ditches are filled with mud. Flat, a flat rocky avenue leads directly to the top of the mountain.

And right in the middle of the mountainside, a solemn building was caught in the eyes of all those who came. Most of it was submerged in the mountain, and a small part of it was exposed, looking like it was embedded in the mountain.

When you come here, you can feel the magical aura that is many times stronger than the outside world. Because of its special geographical location and the carefully fine-tuned mountain structure by humans, the Nissia Snow Mountain has long become the magical gathering of the entire Arctic Icefield. Point, any magician who has learned something can easily see that a huge whirlpool formed by magic power is slowly rotating around the mountain, gathering all the magic power within thousands of kilometers.

Star Fall 836, December 15th, Northern Empire North, Nissi Snow Mountain, Winterhold College.

"Kalong rumbling..."

The sound of earth and rock surging sounded somewhere on the side of the Nissi Snow Mountain. It was the sound of rock fragmentation and steel rubbing. At this time, it was a blizzard and pale snowflakes dancing. As long as the distance is more than ten meters, it is considered the most in the mountain. It is also difficult for a good hunter to see things clearly, but just where the sound is sounding, there is a huge figure tens of meters high that is slowly moving, even Blizzard can't hide its whereabouts.

"No. 1, I remember that you were a little taller than me back then-about seven or eight heads... Why are you suddenly so tall now?"

A huge figure walking in the mountains, accompanied by a strong surge of energy, caused rows of regular magic lines to appear on the surface of its body. Because of this force, the surrounding rugged mountain trails began to move and deform violently, mud and rocks. It changes its shape like flowing water, while the various trace metal minerals in the rock seem to be attracted by something, like moths rushing to the huge steel humanoid named Chu Hao.

On the side of this huge steel figure, two girls and a ball accompany it to walk together. One of them has silver hair and green eyes, while the other is black-haired dragon horns. There is a luminous ball of light on top.

"At that time, I could still sit on your shoulders."

Following in the footsteps of No.1, walking among the heavy snow, Hotaru said with emotion to the iron figure who was helping Winterhold College level Nissi's Snow Mountain. "Now you can't even reach your toes!"

"Hmph, I'm still in the growing period, when I really grow up, I will definitely be older than you!"

Hei was holding the light, she raised her head, glanced at the huge body of No.1, and made a voice of envy and pretending to be disdainful: "Master said, as long as I am an adult, I will ride on me next time I fight!"

"No, Hei, think about Gu Long's adulthood..."

"Zizi."

Hearing the words of the two girls at the feet, No.1 paused for a while, it stopped running the steel element's natural power to control soil and rock, and then slowly bent down, and handed its huge palm like the roof of an ordinary house to Hotaru and Hei. .

Firefly was stunned for a moment, but then she happily pulled Hei and stood on No.1's palm, and then the two were placed on his shoulders by No.1, sitting and watching the steel giant continue to level the mountain.

"That's comfortable... Although the master said that we should come over and help you work, it seems that there is nothing to help you at all."

Looking down on the surrounding forests and snowy fields, Hotaru seemed to suddenly remember something, and frowned, "Speaking of, No.1, I remember you can talk? The master told us last time, you should be able to Speak human language."

While sitting on the shoulders of the steel element, watching the other party manipulate the rock, soil, metal minerals in the surrounding earth to level the rugged mountains, Hotaru said strangely: "Why do you always use zizi to express your thoughts? Except for the owner, it is difficult for others to understand what you are saying."

"jingle!"

And just after Hotaru said these words, she and Hei, who was holding the ball of light in their hands to warm up, shook their bodies, because the chest cavity of No.1 suddenly made dull mechanical movements and sizzling electric noises. When the two girls were in doubt, a synthetic human voice with strong electromagnetic noise appeared in their ears: "Zizi...because of this, talking like this is very troublesome."

"My body has no sound. The sound organ is electric, and magnetic transmission is my voice. If you want to be like a person, you need to reshape the structure of the body... Adults do not listen to Zizi's voice, but directly analyze me Electromagnetic signal."

In the beginning, the voice of No.1 was cold and dull, with harsh noises, and the sentence was also very stiff, but as it went to the back, the harsh voice became more and more gentle, and the sentence became smoother and smoother. Until the end, the voice of No.1 Has completely turned into a calm human tone with a hint of echo.

"The same is true for light. It also uses a method similar to electromagnetic signals to speak, except that the sound from this signal is similar to a jingle."

"Dinkling!"

The ball of light made a sound of approval.

Hearing this, Hotaru and Hei nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, this world is not just a race of humans, and there is no doubt that there are lives that do not communicate with voices, and there are many.

It’s not a human being, why do you have to talk like humans?

The reason why the first issue is only explained in human language is to take care of myself and others.

But these are all trivial matters, and the most important thing is to complete the work assigned by Joshua.

Because the Great Demon Tide has become stronger and stronger in the recent period, and the magic power that permeates between the heavens and the earth has become stronger. For the holders of various extraordinary powers, this is definitely a good thing, and for ordinary people, This is also a way to change destiny-unlike the Great Demon Tide, because too strong magic power is accumulated in the earth and absorbed by various grains and livestock. Humans who eat these foods will have more or less magic power.

In other words, all the lives on the Mykrov continent now, as long as they are not born and charged with magic, there will be some magic accumulation in the body, and they can use and control the various magic facilities that only the caster could use.

This is the case for ordinary people, not to mention the spellcaster organizations and magic schools that were originally established on the magic hubs of various places. The concentration of magic power in these places is rising rapidly every day, but the too strong magic power is not for the caster. It’s not a good thing. Living in a place where the concentration of magic power is too high, it is very likely to get a "magic addiction." As long as a spellcaster with this symptom goes to a place where the concentration of magic power is not enough, he will fall into an extreme hunger for energy. It may even be crazy, leading to various accidents and disasters.

In order to avoid this situation, the Mage Academy, which originally aimed to gather as much magic power as possible, naturally began to evacuate a part of the excess magic power, and the first issue received the task of Winterhold Academy to fine-tune the mountain with his own power. , Change the natural ability of Nissia Snow Mountain to gather magic power, let it weaken a little bit.

Today’s No.1 lives in a mountain not far from the Nissi Snow Mountain. The Wintergarden Academy originally planned to build a huge building for it, but it chose to dig out a nest in the mountain to live in, seemingly because Having lived with the dwarf for a long time, it seems to be addicted to digging holes now. Now it has used its natural ability to dig out several mountains of soil and rock under the ice field, and no one knows where it has dug now.

This ability is used in leveling terrain, almost comparable to twenty fully armed dwarven construction brigade. Facts have proved that this is not an exaggeration.

Today, at the end of Starfall 836, it is not only the Snow Mountain of Nissi in the North that is carrying out various projects, including the main city of Moldavia, so that the entire North, the empire, and even the entire Mykrov continent are all in Various large-scale projects are being carried out intensively.

Relying on the magic technology that has gradually begun to spread, many cities that have not changed for hundreds of years have begun to overthrow the original city walls and begin large-scale expansion, and the fortresses of order at the edge of the Black Forest are also carried out from the inside to the outside. It has undergone several major renovations.

The dwarves dug a huge vertical trench into the depths of the earth’s crust in the western mountains, directly drawing the hot firepower from the center of the earth and maintaining the energy needs of the entire group. The mages of the eastern plains began to mobilize resources on a large scale. On the peaceful coast of the city, the embryonic form of a floating city is gradually taking shape. The Church of the Seven Gods announced to all believers around the world that they will build a giant lighthouse with the holy light as the source of the holy mountain. Within the shrouded area, any believer can use the Holy Light to transmit between various churches and shrines.

One by one, magnificent and magical spectacles, one after another, majestic and magnificent buildings, are taking shape one by one in the wave of extraordinary power, and it's not just that.

It seems that everyone suddenly knows that if they do not change their progress, they will inevitably lag behind the times. According to the statistics of Master Weekly, in the two years after the end of the Dragon Calamity, the construction funds for people’s livelihood in mainland countries were higher than those during the war. After 15.7 times, the funds originally used for armaments were diverted and transferred to the research and infrastructure of cutting-edge technology.

In just these two years, the whole world seems to have changed. The castles and villages that originally had the feudal atmosphere have now become large and small towns. The rock fortress has been renovated many times and now it has become. A metal fortress covered with rune steel armor.

Under the secret push of the powerhouses who truly control the world, the core prosperous areas of the entire world have almost completely entered the era of mana industrialization, and only some cities and villages in remote areas have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The same as before.

And the Northern Empire is also undertaking a huge project. Joshua was recently invited by Israel to conduct some research on materials and alloys. Although the soldiers left a large group of family members in the north. However, he occasionally uses communication magic to communicate with Hotaru and No. 3 and others. In each exchange, Hotaru noticed that his master's expression was very excited, and seemed very satisfied with the huge secret construction of the empire.

"This is definitely a big step ahead of the world."

In the light curtain, Joshua said: "I can't disclose this project to you, but there is no doubt that I am witnessing a new history-a history that has never appeared before, created by me!"

Hotaru sat on No.1's shoulder, recalling what Joshua said at that time. Soldiers rarely boast so arrogantly. Although he is occasionally arrogant, he is only aimed at the enemy and is based on absolute confidence in his heart. However, Hotaru has never heard of such words-the history created by him ? Does it mean that the owner feels that he can change the whole world?

--and many more.

Looking back on this, the silver-haired girl's face was slightly dazed.

It seems... the master seems to have really changed the world, and it's not just a world!

"So, what project is it..."

Before she knew it, Hotaru began to look forward to it. She stretched out her hand and touched the ball of light held in her arms by the black. In the voice of the other party's jingle, the silver-haired girl looked down at the world in the snow.

But at this moment, in the Great Aeas Mountains not far away, there was a sudden violent wave of magical power.

Including No.1 and Hei, all the existences of the entire Winterhold Academy with strengths above the gold level have moved their sights. They sensed the violent temporal and spatial fluctuations, and it seemed that something was moving across half of the continent. From space.

"This breath..."

Before Hotaru murmured to herself, the black on the side suddenly widened her eyes. Holding the ball of light in her hand, she was a little surprised and said, "Isn't it the two old men who are going to cheat in card games!" "

"It's Barnier and Mr. William-Black, don't learn from the master! And these words must not be spoken to the other side!"

"Oh."

The visitors were indeed two legendary mages, Barnier and William, because they occasionally taught at Winterhold College, so all the faculty and students were quite familiar with their atmosphere. After a moment of commotion, Nissi Ai Xueshan was calm again, but Hotaru patted No.1 on the shoulder, causing the giant to stop the work in his hands.

In the next instant, the two legendary wizards appeared in front of the girl and the others together.

"You are the maid of Joshua, and his mount!"

Just as Yingying thought, the two legendary wizards approached them directly. The two looked very excited, their faces flushed, and the headed Barnier helped his eyes. He said to everyone in a very kind tone. "Do you know where Joshua is? We and Barbarossa are looking for him in a hurry. It's very important. It's about Gu Long's power, and he must be interested too!"

"It's definitely a great discovery that can be remembered in history!" William added, his expression intoxicated, and he seemed to be delighted by the research results over the past few days.

"It's a pity that the master is not in Moldavia recently. He was invited by the imperial royal family to participate in a major project and has not returned for almost a month."

For the two legendary wizards who didn't hide their feelings, Hotaru showed a completely different posture from in front of her acquaintances. She stood up, smiled on No.1's shoulder, and said to Barnier and William politely. : "But don't worry, I have the means to contact the master at any time. If the two really have a need, they can go to Winterhold College with us, and I can contact the master there for the two."

"Then I beg you." The two legendary wizards nodded together, and they were not surprised that Joshua was not in their own territory. It seemed that they were even prepared to make a fuss a long time ago.

And just when Hotaru and Hei took two legendary mages into Winterhold Academy, they were ready to contact Joshua.

In the mountainous area of ​​the western part of the Northern Empire, there is a flat plateau underground.

This is a huge underground cave nearly ten kilometers in length and breadth. It seems to be naturally formed by the erosion of magic, but it can also be seen that there are traces of artificial magic reinforcement everywhere, and the entire cave is now covered by various huge steels. Rune machinery occupied, and everywhere in the cave, there were spiral spires flashing with turquoise magical fluorescence, and majestic magical energy was condensed in them.

If someone who is familiar with magic equipment comes here, then he will definitely be shocked by this huge amount of engineering-if it weren't for the help of legendary powerhouses, then there would never be any force in the world that could create such a The sight, even the power of the country is absolutely impossible. This is almost a city composed of steel and machinery. Numerous complicated rune circuits connect each machine and spire, and amazing magic power is surging in it.

And in the depths of this underground cavern, on the edge of a long corridor, Joshua, Israel and Nostradamus side by side, the three of them looked at the center of the cave from the corridor window with solemn expressions.

In the center of this city built by countless steel machinery ~www.novelmtl.com~, there is a huge depression like a berth in a dock and port, and in the center of this depression, there is a behemoth with a length of more than three kilometers. ——It is suspended in the turquoise magical stand radiated by the spiral spires, as if motionless, and the flying mages are busy manipulating the magic circle beside them, inspecting and maintaining every detail of this behemoth.

But the three legendary powerhouses are not looking at this huge magical creation that seems to be the embryonic form of a huge ship. What they see is this and that depression that looks like a dock, and one that is still under construction, as if to break through the top of the cave. -Like steel rune track.

"This is your confidence, Israel?"

After staring for a long time, Joshua, who used the power of steel to create most of the magic equipment by himself, said softly: "Use this thing to deal with those nobles? Are you planning to use a whole void battleship production line to fight mosquitoes?"

"I doubt that you intend to conquer the world." He said solemnly.

"Of course not, Secretary Radcliffe, the nobles are just a small obstacle that hinders my actions. Their existence will hinder the future I want."

And beside the warrior, the Emperor and his teacher looked at each other and smiled, and Israel slowly said: "I also want to thank you for your help. Without your strength of steel, I might not be able to use it for decades. This base was built... But now, the three legends are all teaming up for this. It's just one world. How can that be enough?"

The more he said it, the more cheerful the smile on his face became: "I said it a long time ago."

"My pursuit is far above the sky and the stars."

The legendary strong is the primary productive force. The state is not good recently, because the outline has been changed. This is the first update yesterday, and there will be another update in the evening.
