Chapter 18: The Desire to Be Life

The ring, connected from end to end, means balance and perfection, and it is the most impeccable and flawless shape. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Black, which overwhelms all other colors and mixes with all colors, is the background color of the universe, the absolute, and the symbol of the end of everything.

The black ring emblem represents the existence of Zinsen, one of the seven gods of the human race, the god of justice and power.

In front of the Cathedral of St. Laurent in Moldavia, there is a stone tablet with the inscription of the god's holy word: Justice without light needs to be proclaimed by force. From this point on, we can get a glimpse of the character and teachings of this deity.

Joshua knew, and was well acquainted with, the emblems of the gods, and the moment he noticed it, he knew that the elven bard in front of him was a believer in the god of might, and a devout believer, and if it were not for this, he would never draw the emblem on his clothes, and the non-believers would have drawn the emblem, which was disrespectful to the gods.

After discovering this, the warrior narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the elven poet who was still singing, he did not take the previous anomaly as an illusion, but as a hint in some sense, at this time Joshua's mind flashed many speculations, and unlike Ying, who was still listening carefully to the story, Rin behind him also noticed the strangeness of his master, but he didn't know why.

- Maybe it's because the power of the previous order exploded.

It was a fairly reasonable guess, and Joshua was sure that this was the truth of the matter.

In his previous life, because he had not been in contact with the most secret layer of the Mycrove Continent, the warrior did not know the information of the gods very completely, but now, Joshua has entered the inner circle of this world with half a foot, and not long ago, the Pope of the Church of the Seven Gods even spoke directly to him, compared to his previous life, he now sees some aspects more thoroughly.

Take, for example, the relationship between the sages and the gods.

The Holy Light, as well as the power of order, is undoubtedly a power system refined thousands of years ago, in the Glorious Era, by the sages to summarize the achievements of the sages, and today's gods, whether they are the gods of justice and power, or the gods of wisdom and choice, the seven human gods all possess the power of the Holy Light, and their spokesperson in the material world, the Pope, seems to know a lot about the sages.

The two are inextricably linked.

And he had just triggered the Azure Orb and burst out with a pillar of order power that went straight into the sky, which was originally an extremely ostentatious thing, so it was not surprising that it attracted the attention of the gods, not to mention that it was still a legacy of the sages.

"I didn't expect to enter the field of vision of the gods in this way."

Laughing at himself slightly, Joshua didn't have a worried look, compared to the vast majority of people on the continent who only knew a little about the gods, he knew quite well about the seven gods.

Compared with the extremely humanized Greek gods in the myths and legends of the previous life, the human gods on the Microf continent are more similar to the representatives of a certain concept, which is a relatively simple statement, and it can be explained in a more complex way, that is, the embodiment of a certain logic of order.

The seven gods have their own personalities, preferences, and some human nature, but as long as they are related to the interests of human beings and the concepts they represent, they will abandon all ideas and operate like the tightest machines.

The god of power only showed the warriors that he was paying attention to him through his own followers, which was not a bad thing, and if he was a believer in the god of power, he would even feel very honored, but he was not, so for Joshua, it was just a small episode, and after a chuckle, he continued to listen to the epic of the elven poet's migration, and then left with the young girls beside him.

As the largest city in the north of the central province of the empire, the Ural Fortress naturally has a variety of shops and entertainment, and on the wide streets in the northern style, Joshua leisurely walks among many pedestrians, and even stops somewhere from time to time to listen to them talk about their parents' shortcomings and the news everywhere.

Thanks to the recent emergence of newspapers and the like, information on the mainland has spread faster and wider, and the residents, who have been lacking in topics, have a lot more to talk about, and by listening to the small talk of passers-by, the warriors can be regarded as learning a lot of meaningful news.

For example, there were suddenly many mages in the surrounding forests, and they scattered jars of gray mist everywhere, covering the entire mountain range and jungle, and it seemed that because of these fogs, the originally manic beasts also settled down again, although they were still fierce compared to the beginning, but they were much better than before.

For example, in the major cities of the entire empire, there have been many strange murder cases suddenly, many old people or young people who were originally living alone were found to be separated into their own homes, their skins were plucked off, and strange and bloody patterns were drawn, as if because of magic, the corpses did not rot for a long time, and the smell of blood did not overflow, making it difficult to be detected by the people around them.

Hearing this news, Joshua couldn't help frowning, he even simply found a newspaper vendor and bought the nearest newspaper, while reading this news, his face gradually became serious: "I didn't expect it, it has actually started, these evil god believers are really fast." ”

The first news is nothing more than the official use of the dragon vaccine to suppress the more and more manic beasts, and the second murder news is a little cruel for the general public, but it is just a small thing that is the most amazing and emotional, but for the warriors who know the cause of this incident, it means that there is a situation about the evil god on the mainland, and it has developed to the second stage.

The advent of the Chaos Evil God requires a variety of special conditions to be met, and the specific conditions of each evil god are different, but most of the evil gods need panic all over the world.

Now, the dragon plague in the south directly attacked the kingdom, destroying major cities, causing commotion and refugees, and in other regions where the dragon plague could not be invaded temporarily, the cultists of the evil gods naturally had other means to create panic.

This kind of bizarre corpse and killing sacrifice is just the first sign of the beginning, and then those hidden evil god believers will try to summon some chaos monsters in various cities, causing large-scale riots, and even the fear of everyone's own danger.

Although the activities of the cultists of the evil gods in the previous life were quickly suppressed by the local governments, they also caused a lot of chaos, and Joshua believed that as a thorn in the side of the current group of dragons, he especially needed to pay attention to this aspect.

- Perhaps the main city needs to be informed now, so that they can pay attention to this problem.

He walked into a slightly quieter alley, and then motioned to Ying, who was following him, to take out the simple communication circle that was shaped into a mirror, and then the warrior directly connected to the main city of Moldavia in the curious eyes of the silver-haired girl.

Zi –

The fluctuation of magic power flashed, and a lot of snowflake-like dots appeared on the originally smooth surface of the mirror, and finally formed a light curtain, which meant that the communication circle had been connected, and on the other side of the light curtain, a scene from the main city of Beppu faintly appeared, and a petite figure with long blue waist-length hair also appeared in front of Joshua's eyes.

"Hello, Joshua, is there any important instruction for the communication line today?"

A crisp voice came, and the one who answered the signal was none other than the fortress artificial intelligence from the world of Karlis, No. 3.

The gray-blue eyes seem to have a misty mist, and the bottom can't be seen clearly, the long blue hair like silk is on the black wings behind her waist, and it also sways slightly with the movement of Miss Artificial Intelligence's body, and today's No. 3 is wearing a very human-style slip dress, revealing a large area of fair skin on her arms, and there is even a hint of a smile on her delicate little face.

“…… It's getting more and more like a human, No. 3. ”

Smacking his tongue slightly, Joshua couldn't help but recall the scene when he first saw No. 3 in the world of Karliss - the artificial intelligence girl at that time was extremely rigid, and her words were full of indifference, as if she had no emotion, and her magic projection terminal did not change with the outside world at all, and the sense of disobedience was very serious.

But since she came to McCrof, came into contact with many people, and gained a lot of information, No. 3's performance has become more and more vivid, and it seems that she is constantly learning and progressing, and is getting closer to humanity.

"How can humans have my cuteness."

As if deliberately to frighten Joshua, No. 3 raised her chin slightly, and said the lines she would never have said in a calm and slightly arrogant tone: "The human form shaped by the magic projection is definitely more perfect than the real person, except for some unreality, there are no major shortcomings, you know, the flaws in the skin and appearance are more difficult to imitate than the skin itself." ”

"Poof......

"When did Miss No. 3 become like this......"

Ying and Rin, who were originally watching the communication behind the warrior, suddenly couldn't help but snicker, although the statement of the 3rd just now seemed to be very arrogant, but with that petite and delicate figure and perfect skin, it was inexplicably cute and convincing.

After a moment of silence, Joshua blinked, his red eyes rolled, he didn't know what to say at all, and after being silent for a while, he said word by word, solemnly through the light curtain in front of him, and said to the artificial intelligence: "Tell me, No. 3, where did you learn these words?!" ”

When did the original artificial intelligence girl who was almost three nothings become like this?!

"That's the answer I've come up with from some interesting books and weekday observations."

No. 3's answer is right.

After a period of exchange that went somewhere, everything was finally back on track.

In addition to assisting Joshua and others in the research of magic armor, No. 3 has also been entrusted with some other tasks by the warriors, one of which is to manage the communication array, and more importantly, to observe the movements in the entire city.

Just like the words of the artificial intelligence herself, her image is just a magic power creation, a terminal that facilitates communication, although it looks perfect, in fact it is just a projection, what she really uses to observe the world is the observation circle in the rune crystals, with the supply of a large number of magic crystals provided by Joshua, the observation circle of No. 3 is now enough to cover most of the main city and observe most of the area.

After roughly explaining No. 3's instructions to pay attention to the crowd of outsiders, Joshua watched No. 3's projection roll around on the ceiling of Beppu with a helpless face.

This habit seems to be impossible to break in a short time, the warrior thought for a while, and then tried to ask: "Is there any dissatisfaction, No. 3, if you feel that work takes up too much time, you can tell me, I will not force you to work for me." ”

Heard the words. And No. 3 stopped rolling, she was silent for a while, and then returned to the front of the light curtain, and after a while, as if thinking, the artificial intelligence slowly spoke: "There is nothing to work, it's just ...... I want to be like you and see the bigger world. ”

"The main city of Moldavia, although interesting, is only a city after all, and I want to see more places."

After saying this, No. 3 sighed slightly, and she said softly, "Even if it's a psionic body like Ying and Rin, I just want to touch this world with my own hands...... This world is full of vitality and order. ”
