Rumble. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The earth shook.

In the silence of the world, there was a loud roar.

Something seemed to be moving in the fog-shrouded ruins of the city, it was huge, looming in the gray haze, its body trembling as huge as a mountain range, as if it was drawing some power from its surroundings.

As it passed, the mud and rocks crumbled and turned into dust, the mountains collapsed and turned into flat ground, and the "power of existence" was extracted by this giant monster, causing the world itself to begin to shake.

With a crisp sound like glass shattering, everything around it became blurry and distant, as if it would cease to exist in the next moment.

-- Fire.

Faintly, Hotaru, who was still in a daze, seemed to hear a voice.

- Fire!

The voice echoed between the sky and the earth, throughout the world, as if it was expecting and praying for something.

What does the fire in its mouth mean?

The girl asked herself in confusion.

-- Nature is the spark of the world, the light of the first existence, only fire, only fire, only it can illuminate the void and expel chaos......

Rumble! There was another loud bang, the girl's instinctive feeling, the owner of the voice seemed to be about to answer her question, but for some reason, it was interrupted by some kind of effect, and the loud noise that resounded from nowhere caused the answer to become fragmented in the drumming gray fog, and the follow-up could no longer be heard.

With the sudden roar, the surging waves of chaos came one after another, making Hotaru feel uncomfortable, as if a suffocating pain invaded her soul, but a burst of silver-white light lit up, and some inexplicable power gently held up the will of the god girl, like a shield to block and expel all the chaotic forces.

As time passed, the tide calmed down, and the shield disappeared, and Hotaru looked around a little confused as she raised her head and stared at the dark sky.

Just now, she felt that a great will was looking at her gently.

Remnants of fire, descendants of steel, creatures of my people...... You shouldn't be here until the time of the promise. 】

A deep voice sounded in Hotaru's heart, and at the same time, an inexplicable repulsion repelled the girl's soul and rose to the dim sun's radiance.

Go back, go back for the time being, and wait until the promised day, and then take over your mission. 】

Finally, when he was about to leave this world, Hotaru, who was confused but inexplicably reluctant, seemed to hear such a blessing.

[-May the sun shine on your soul for eternity.] 】

Then, the silver-white light flickered, and a feeling of being squeezed out came, and in a trance, the silver-haired girl opened her eyes in reality.

She woke up.

"What, woke up? Do you sleep comfortably? ”

The girl who had just woken up had just sat up straight, her eyes were blank, her long silver hair was a little scattered, and there was even a little hair in her mouth for some reason - in short, Hotaru, who didn't know what had just happened, immediately shook her head after hearing her master's ridicule, she quickly got up and apologized in a panic: "I'm sorry, master, I don't know why I'm suddenly sleepy......"

Then I had a dream...... Strange, what did I just dream about?

"Obviously you shouldn't sleep as a god machine, why ......?"

Biting her lip lightly, Miss Shenji's thin eyebrows curled slightly, and she said to herself in a very troubled manner: "If you are a god, there is a dormant state, but this is not the same as sleep." ”

"It's okay, there's no need to react so much, sleep is a ritual to adjust memories and purify the soul, even if it is a vampire dragon that doesn't need sleep, it will sleep for a few years or a hundred years depending on the need."

Joshua looked at the silver-haired girl talking to herself in a daze, feeling that such a firefly was unexpectedly a little cute, he couldn't help but laugh again: "No matter what, the next time you want to sleep, just talk to me, I'm not a bad person, how can I bear to let you yawn and work with me?" ”

Speaking of this, the warrior suddenly found that he hadn't slept for a long time since he had advanced to the Golden Rank, and for such a long time, once he felt tired, he would just close his eyes, and after a short rest of an hour or two, he could fully recover and continue to work.

With such a high-intensity battle and training, if it weren't for Joshua, ordinary people would have collapsed a long time ago, but the Divine Machine Girl followed him all the way and never missed half a time...... Thinking like this, Joshua couldn't help but feel ashamed secretly, he never thought that he would unconsciously become a black-hearted lord who oppressed his subordinates and a scumbag who oppressed child labor.

Although Hotaru always says that she is the same age as the warrior - who cares about her, the warrior is a visual creature.

The silver-haired girl was still frowning and recalling, she vaguely remembered that she had seen a lot of strange things in her dreams, although she was a little confused at that time, but she still remembered some things.

"What exactly is ......?"

Standing in front of the couch, Hotaru meditated, but at most she could recall some fragmentary impressions—the gray mist, the stagnant world, everything wrapped in stone crystals, the waves of chaos and the huge creatures that moved slowly in them...... It sounds like a lot of content, but no matter how much she thinks about it, Hotaru can't come up with anything more.

"This time I felt similar to the last time I was on the city wall, I saw some fragments of memory through the will of my master, and although I felt that I had seen a lot of things, I could only remember a little bit...... Could it be that I have just been unconsciously connected to some great being? ”

Thinking secretly in his heart, Hotaru was extremely puzzled: "But it is because of the divine machine contract that I have the conditions to share my memories with my master, and why am I linked to that existence?" ”

"Huh?"

In her distress, the silver-haired girl heard her master's voice of interest; "Dwarf...... Are they going to give me a suit of armor? ”

Joshua sat at his desk, holding a gray-black letter in his hand, and he looked at the contents of it with interest: "It's actually the big cast iron body Moria who personally took action?" Isn't this almost a piece of legendary equipment? Just give it to me like that? ”

This is one of the few good news in recent times, the warrior couldn't help but nodded, he had just read the other letters, and roughly determined that the description of the situation in the imperial capital in Alfonso's letter was all true, and he was unhappy in his heart, but now that there was such good news, he was in a much happier mood.

The dwarves actually have their own set of words and grammar, but they naturally know the lingua franca used by humans, but if it is just a daily conversation, it is fine, but if it is written as a written official document, according to the habits of this group of guys, the sense of disobedience will definitely break through the sky.

It took a long time for Joshua to read all the letters, a large part of which was meaningless blessings and saliva, and the core content roughly meant to congratulate the warrior on inheriting the title and obtaining the 'qualification' - this qualification, Joshua felt that it should be a successful contract with the divine machine - so according to the agreement since ancient times, they would forge the best set of armor for the warrior, and give it to him free of charge, and if there was a chance, they would also send a messenger to visit and set a date to take the armor.

"The armor of the dwarf must be the best of the best, and I really can't wait."

Putting down the letter in his hand, Joshua looked at the ceiling of the study, his face full of expectation: "Ordinary armor is too fragile for a person of my level, and in the middle of the battle with the black dragon and dragon spider, even the best enchanted armor can't last long, and it is basically completely destroyed in a few minutes...... This time it's really a relief in the snow. ”

The weapons have divine machines, and the armor has legendary equipment forged by the dwarves, and Joshua feels that even in his previous life, it seems that the same level has never been so extravagant.

Time passed, and at this time, in the study of Beppu, the black-haired warrior was imagining the future, and the silver-haired girl was distressed by her dreams, no one spoke, and suddenly the whole room fell silent.

"Knock knock."

A sharp knock broke the silence. (To be continued.) )
