Soul of Burning Steel

At the same time that the entire Lost Galaxy City has undergone tremendous changes due to every move of the Mycroft civilization, time flies by.

In a blink of an eye, it was November 14th in the year 841 of Starfall.

Moldavia, Nancheng Residential Area, Priest stood at the door of his house, watching Su Erwen tidy Britney's collar, and then put the schoolbag with the dandelion pompom doll on her back, he Although his face was serious, there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Britney, have you brought your spiritual terminal and textbooks?" Priest noticed that at the corner of the street, there was a tall magic car approaching slowly. He knew that this was the school bus that came to pick up his sister to go to school, so he couldn't help but reminded: "Remember to go to the cafeteria to show your mental terminal when you eat at noon, and I will pay you. Don't come back hungry and crying like last time."

"No way!" Hearing these words, the girl who obediently asked Su Er to tidy up her clothes and hair suddenly blushed, and shook her hands in a panic: "That time, that was the first time I went to school, too. I was nervous so I forgot about it—absolutely not this time!"

"Okay, don't tease her." After confirming that the spiritual terminal necklace on Britney's chest was working normally, Sur in ghost form canceled her magic power of interfering with the material world and became illusory. She turned her head and smiled. Then he said to Priest: "You're leaving later, aren't you?"

"……Yes."

Hearing this sentence, Priest, who was in a good mood because he teased his sister, couldn't hold back his laughter, his expression calmed down immediately. He raised his hand and stroked the unshaven beard on his chin. He said calmly: "The teacher asked me by name—to be precise, he asked the entire elite team to go together. Not only that, but also Ivan's first team next door, and Lisa Syndicate's group... Teacher This time we personally dispatched, those of us who are apprentices and students, naturally have to go together."

Noticing that both Sur and Britney suddenly became silent, Priest scratched his head in distress and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, after all, it's not a dangerous place like the Darkest Abyss, It’s just going to other worlds and galaxies, nothing to be afraid of.”

"...I'm not afraid of this."

The elf girl in ghost form sighed faintly: "After all, both I and Britney are used to you going out all day—I used to be able to go out with you, but now I can only stay behind in order to take care of Britney." Next... In short, even if you go out to perform missions for a longer time, it is not impossible to contact, but what we are worried about is whether Lord Radcliffe can control himself. "

Although ordinary people don't know it very well, close people like Priest and Sur know Joshua's current situation.

Compared with the dangers on the expedition fleet's journey, they knew the strength of that lord, so they knew what they should really worry about.

In this regard, Priest sighed and said: "It's okay--in the past few months, the benefits brought by the hot operation of Continent of Disputes have become obvious? Teacher's condition has improved a lot, he Say yes, we can only trust him."

At this time, the school bus had already arrived at the door of the house. Priest shook his head. He stepped forward, lifted Britney up, and spun around in mid-air. Before his sister became angry, he withdrew his hand and hugged her. in arms.

The young soldier smiled and said: "Don't worry, although we may not be able to meet each other for a long time, the expedition fleet will set up communication terminals along the way—we can meet through spiritual terminals."

"Anyway, every time you say something, I have no reason to keep you..."

Being hugged by her brother, Britney, who was young but already very mature, said in a low voice unwillingly: "This time, I can't say nothing, okay? Come back safely, I will definitely be The first place in the lower academy showed it off to you!"

"of course."

The brief answer proved his firm determination. Priest put Britney down and watched Britney quietly board the school bus. He was guided to his seat by an elf teacher. He watched the school bus start slowly. The window waved goodbye to himself, and he also raised his hand, waving to the school bus with Sur.

The school bus disappeared around the corner, one person and one ghost put down their hands, Priest fell into silence, but Sur laughed and slapped him on the back of the head with his hand.

"What's the matter? Don't you like adventure the most? It's obviously a great expedition to other worlds and galaxies, but why are you so serious?"

The hand of the elf girl's ghost passed through Priest's head, bringing a cold touch, and she said indifferently: "You guy, you clearly agreed to take me to see a wider landscape, but in the end You called me over to be Britney's babysitter, and ran out on my own to take risks—I'm not even angry yet, what are you doing here with a sour face?"

"...mainly a little emotion."

After being reprimanded by Su Er's words of encouragement or blow, Priest rubbed his face, and finally let the somewhat stiff expression come alive, he raised his head and sighed: "You know what, Sur, after all these years, I feel like I'm dreaming... Whether it's coming to Moldavia, entering the Academy of Winterhold, becoming a student of that lord, or meeting you, it feels like a dream Dreamy again."

"Ten years ago, I was still in the southern border of the empire, fearing the arrival of the black tide every day-the dragon disaster destroyed my hometown, killed my parents, and I took my sister homeless, gritted my teeth and struggled to survive... It was miserable and impoverished, but it was very real."

"Now, I have become a student of a legendary powerhouse, and I have been told that I am a genius. Now I have the strength of the golden level, an interesting and enviable job, and even some time ago, I even got a job that is so rich that ordinary people spend their entire lives as a luxury. A huge amount of money spent... Really, I never believed in fate in the past, but now, I feel that I can clearly see when fate has taken a huge turn in me. Compared with four years ago, everything now, It's just like a dream."

Priest's expression is not sad, he is even smiling, but this smile is somehow hollow, he whispered: "'Expedition to the galaxy in another world'--seven gods, if it wasn't for me Having already joined the fleet, this kind of thing was beyond my imagination ten years ago."

Obviously, the current Priest is not afraid or confused, he just feels sincere emotion, shocked and unbelievable by his life and destiny, since he chose to come to Moldavia and tried to join Rin After Winterhold College, the future of this young soldier seemed to be distorted by an extremely huge force, turning him into the dazzling appearance he is now - he has even joined the great fleet on the expedition to the galaxy in other worlds, Be part of a future fleet destined to go down in history.

It was too beautiful and dreamy, so it made Priest, who had suffered a lot in the past, feel very unreal.

"Is dreaming a bad thing?"

After quietly listening to Priest's words, the ghost girl showed a somewhat illusory smile. She raised her hand like a good buddy and put it on Priest's shoulder. When we met for the first time, with a sunny and cheerful smile: "It's just an expedition to another world galaxy, which shocked you like this? You know, I didn't know until not long ago that everyone in our entire hometown lives in an evil god. It’s on my back! Ten years ago, I didn’t even climb the mountains in my hometown, and I had to endure the pain of chaos erosion every day, but now... If you want to talk about comparison, if you want to say shock, can you compare me? "

Believe me, as long as we continue to follow that lord, as long as we continue to walk, there will be a wider world in the future, more dreamy things waiting for us, the road is still long, don't start remembering now. "

With a laugh, Su Er turned around, left a word lightly, and walked into the house like this.

"——Also, don't stand outside the door stupidly, we still have to pack your luggage to report to the fleet later!"

The door closes.

And Priest stayed outside for a while alone.

He thinks about many things.

——Fleet, sister, Sur, adventure, expedition, galaxy in another world, today's world of Mycroft, ever-improving magic technology... He really thought about a lot of things.

But in the end, he took a deep breath to get rid of all the extra emotions—then before Sur's second urging sounded, Priest turned around and walked towards his house with a calm expression.

What Su Er said is indeed correct. He is not even thirty, let alone married and has children. He is still young, and it is too early to start thinking about bitterness and sweetness now.

There is still a long way to go, and the future must be a brighter future.

And a similar scene happened in the homes of almost all the people who were selected to join the Galactic Joint Expeditionary Fleet.
