The so-called force of steel is one of the most primitive and widespread forces in the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Myths and legends have it that the Primordial Fire and the Origin Steel forged the entire Mycrof world, and all materialized existences, especially the flesh of all things, are directly derived from the Origin Steel.

The more innate vitality and the larger the body, the stronger the 'steel' contained in the body, but no matter how strong this 'steel' is, it is inactive and cannot be mastered by human will, ordinary physical training can not stimulate this innate power, only through special rituals, or the stimulation of life and death have a chance to excite, this is the [Iron Revelation] that all fighters have to experience, as long as they succeed, they can advance from mortals to black iron level professionals.

In terms of human beings alone, the probability of successful awakening is very high, and theoretically speaking, as long as it is a living creature, no matter how weak and old it is, it has the possibility of stimulating 'steel', but a life that is too weak in the flesh, such as insects and mice, is very likely to die at the same time as the awakening is successful.

Creatures that have been awakened will become stronger due to the activation of the 'power of steel' in their bodies, but this strength will not be reflected in their body size, and those who have successfully awakened will likely look thin and small, but they can split steel with their bare hands.

But only by virtue of their own training, not relying on external objects, it is difficult to increase the quantity and quality of steel in the body, for the vast majority of warriors and knights who have no inheritance, bathing in the blood of demonic beasts, eating their flesh and blood is the fastest way to obtain steel, this is a dangerous and dangerous road, as long as you step on, it means endless killing and death - the reason why there are hundreds of silver knights in the north is precisely because they fight with demonic beasts all year round, and their forces plunder and devour each other, Let these knights without inheritance gain enough strength to break through the limits of their bodies.

“…… It's different from humans. ”

After observing for a while, Cleel nodded slowly, and with her knowledge, she could naturally see that the girl lying on the bed was not a normal life: "Artificial alchemy life? ”

However, Nostradamus's body shook slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Joshua, this little girl is your divine machine?" ”

The existence of the divine machine is not a secret to these high-level members of the empire, Nostradamus, as the chief archmage of the empire, has participated in the design of the divine machine of the previous generation, and he is not unfamiliar with the psionic body form of the silver-haired girl in front of him, and he can even be said to be quite familiar.

"Not bad." Joshua replied dryly, "She's my magic machine, Hotaru." ”

Glancing at the two with serious expressions, the warrior walked to the body of the silver-haired girl, he went to the side of the bed, and touched his forehead: "I don't talk much nonsense, since the last time I broke through the space-time gate, Hotaru's state has not been very good, and around the beginning of January, she couldn't wake up directly, although her state didn't seem to deteriorate, but I still feel very worried, will it be some sequelae." ”

Joshua turned his head to look at the female druid: "Lady Kleel said that there was an aura of chaos in my residence, which reminded me of the abnormal situation that happened to Hotaru, and now it seems that there is indeed a certain connection. ”

"It doesn't have to be the cause of the forces of chaos."

Nostradamus frowned and looked at the girl in front of him, he stroked his beard, feeling that he didn't know what to say: "Joshua...... If I'm not mistaken, you should have inherited the title in Frostfall Moon last year, and Flying Snow Moon only became the Keeper of Chaos, at that time you were only a golden beginner, and your divine machine should only be about the middle and high level of silver - if you become a golden high-level, it can still be explained by the 'characteristics' of continuous battles and warriors, but your divine machine has actually entered the second stage! ”

The white-haired mage said in a rare tone of exclamation: "The Radcliffe family has been guarding the Gate of Time and Space in the Northland for four hundred years, so many generations of family masters, not every generation can successfully advance the divine machine to the second stage, but it only took you three months, this is ......"

Shaking his head, after finishing speaking, the old mage continued to observe carefully: "You said that your divine machine has been sleeping in the process of advancement until now? It's not necessarily the cause of Chaos, but rather the failure to digest the power you gave her, so let me keep looking......"

On the other side, Kleel's expression was not good, and the elven beauty who didn't know how old she was was now frowning and biting her nails, as if she was thinking about something.

Rationally ignoring the other party's childish act of biting his fingernails, Joshua looked at Cleel's expression and couldn't help but think of some druid's taboos in his previous life: "Could it be that the earth druids don't support the emergence of alchemical life?" ”

Hearing the warrior's question, Cleel shook her head, she thought for a moment, and then said: "Creatures mating, producing offspring, and creating alchemy life with humans are also the rules and progress of nature, I just wonder why the power of steel in her body is so strong." ”

Speaking of this, the elf druid subconsciously raised his finger again: "Artificial life, it shouldn't be so ......"

"Like before, the power of stagnant, non-flowing steel?"

Frowning, Joshua said in a low voice, "Is it because of this power that Hotaru can't complete the advancement and can't wake up?" ”

According to what the druids said before, the power of condensed steel was infected by chaos, which was likely to cause problems in the advanced process.

"I don't know."

Cleel shook her head, "You should ask him." With that, she pointed to the old mage not far away.

At the same time, the two of them shifted their gaze to the old mage who was contemplating.

Nostradamus's expression was solemn, as the chief archmage of the empire, the original sixth-generation divine machine was developed and put into practice by him, and the divine machine 'Fan' used by Joshua's father, which was the core design of the old butler, was made by him. The old mage knew a lot about the divine machine, but even he couldn't analyze the reason for Hotaru's sleep in such a short period of time.

With one hand stretched out, purple light flashed, and Nostradamus released a high-level energy exploration technique at Hotaru on the bed, but after probing, his expression became even more strange: "The energy core is still converting?" The ordinary advancement is only four or five days, which is already ten times the standard time, where can such a huge amount of power come from? ”

If the conversion is successful, how strong will this magic machine be?

Feeling the eyes of Joshua next to him, the old mage thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Joshua, I said a possibility, and it is only a possibility. ”

His tone was not sure: "The reason why your divine machine is asleep should be that the accumulated power is too much, which leads to too much energy pressure when advancing, so that her core cannot be digested quickly, and can only be slowly dissolved...... If she could reduce the force a little, she should wake up soon. ”

"But where does this power come from?"

Joshua was indeed a little confused, "If it was because of my advanced gold high, I shouldn't have slept for so long." ”

"You should ask yourself where your power comes from." Nostradamus sighed, he looked directly into the warrior's eyes, and said slowly, "How many Chaos Monsters did you kill when you destroyed the Time and Space Gate?" Thousands? Million? Kill at least two golden monsters, right? Ordinary people don't kill you for more than two minutes in a lifetime. ”

He earnestly admonished Joshua: "Don't underestimate the mutual plundering and accumulation of 'steel', the power obtained by killing these demonic beasts is even more terrifying than you think, as for why these powers are infected by chaos...... Forgive me for not being able to see it for a while, but it should have something to do with the space-time gate. ”

After being silent for a while, Joshua asked in a low voice, "So, how to resolve it?" ”

“…… Very simple. After a while, the old mage showed a strange smile, he looked at the warrior's tall body, and seemed to think of something: "Joshua, as long as you awaken another divine machine and let it share this power, even if you can't make this girl fully awake, at least it can speed up her progression process." ”

"Wake up another magic machine......

Nodding thoughtfully, Joshua was silent,

"If other people can't bear the load of two divine machines, but you're different." Nostradamus smiled happily: "You should be one of the most talented warriors in the history of the Empire, if it were you, you would definitely be able to bear the load of two divine machines." ”

The warrior closed his eyes: "Let me think. ”

-- A few days later.

As the chief archmage of the empire, Nostradamus had a lot of affairs, and due to the existence of a large number of space-time gates, the Northland could not use teleportation spells at will, so he could only set off back to the imperial capital as soon as possible. Cleel Wind Song, the forest elf druid, has stayed, preparing to cleanse Moldavia and Moldova of the forces of chaos, and surveying soil and air samples around the Black Forest every day.

And the main city, Josai Beppu, is among the bedrooms on the second floor.

“…… Still sleeping. ”

The maids had just changed Hotaru's bed with brand new cushions and quilts, and Joshua was sitting on the edge of the bed with his weapon, he reached out and pinched the little face of the silver-haired girl, and then said to himself expressionlessly: "You guy, if you don't wake up yet, I'll go get another magic machine." ”

After speaking, Joshua chuckled: "When the time comes, be jealous, don't blame me for not using you." ”

Airplanes. As if in response to what the warrior had said earlier, a slight humming sound came from Hotaru's body.
