Chapter 17: The Beaten World Galaxy
Joshua's memories go back to not long ago, when she had just arrived in the fairy country.
Compared to the first time he came to the fairy township, the current fairy township seems much more normal, the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind rotate, constituting a stable and beautiful world, in this world, whether it is the red glow in the sky, or the flowers and plants on the ground, all of them are the mimicry of the condensation of the elements, and it can be seen that there are countless shimmering particles flickering and rotating around these condensed substances, emitting a bright and brilliant brilliance.
At the same time as Joshua's incarnation arrived, he could see that a group of goblins seemed to know this for a long time, and waited directly at the place where he came to greet him.
"Her Majesty has long known your intentions, so please come with us, Lord Radcliffe."
The water goblin at the head was quite serious and could say very normal things smoothly, but the goblins behind her were a little bold and curious, and they hid behind the water goblin and pointed at Joshua excitedly.
"Look, that lump of iron looks like a human!"
"Nonsense, it's obviously a human being, but it doesn't look like it because it's too strong!"
"It's not human...... Where is there someone who is covered in metal, as if there is a goblin who uses the four elements as his body? β
The goblins were free and happy, and Joshua naturally knew this for a long time, but hearing that the other party actually quarreled because of whether he was human or not, it still made the warrior's face darken.
What are the only four elements as the body...... Have you heard of the Empire's artificial goblin plan? Have you heard of the Silver Elf? If you're covered in iron, you're not human? I'm still too young, too little knowledge, and too simple in thinking.
Of course, this happy thought only existed for a moment, and Joshua silently let the water goblin led the way.
This time, he came to Fairy Township, not to enjoy the scenery and relax, but to directly find the four fairy queens, and get some important information from these people, who may be the oldest beings in the current McCrof civilization.
The whole fairy township presents a semi-circular structure of the sky and the earth, the flat earth is completely composed of the stable earth element, and under it, the surging fire element forms a mantle-like structure, and the sky is completely composed of the surging wind element, the sun composed of the fire element is in the center, and the water element forms a lake on the earth, and the rain clouds in the sky, forming a large cycle across the heaven and earth.
The basic cycle of the four elements is roughly like this, naturally, in addition, there are many details of the cycle, such as the volcano, which is the mixture of fire and earth elements, and the hot gap fountain, which is caused by the combination of fire, earth and water.
"The last time you came, the Empress of the Earth was badly injured, which is why the Earth is like that, misty and scattered...... Originally, it would have taken decades or even hundreds of years for that kind of injury to heal alone, but with the help of other legendary powerhouses, Her Majesty the Empress was almost healed. β
Along the way, the water elemental goblin who took the lead has been explaining the current situation in Goblin Township to Joshua, and by the way, he also mentioned several human legends who helped the Goblin Empress heal her injuries with reverence.
As soon as Joshua heard the goblin's description of those people, he immediately knew who the people who helped the goblin queen were...... A kind middle-aged man with nothing above his head, an old mage with a prosthetic eye, a female spellcaster who can't see clearly, and a hair like a crystal ...... Isn't this Barbarossa, Barnier, and Faina?
It seems that after exploring the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, the legends took the initiative to help each other heal in order to thank the Fairy Empress for lending them Fairy Township as a forward base, which is a bit too real an image.
Originally, Joshua thought that this might just be the habit of ordinary goblins, who lived in the goblin village all year round without communicating with the outside world, and their own strength was strong, so they maintained this naΓ―ve lifestyle...... But when he met the fairy queens, he realized that this was not a habit at all, but the nature of goblins.
"Ah, I remember you!"
Huge and magnificent, it didn't look like an elemental furnace temple that goblins could build, and the four walls were inscribed with four huge goblin statues that were at least four hundred meters tall, each of which was composed of pure corresponding magical elements, which contained a terrifying aura of energy that could destroy everything. Faced with the four elemental power gatherings that erupted and were likely to be enough to destroy a world, Joshua just exclaimed, 'Big enough', and then stood calmly in the center of the main hall, waiting for the four fairy empresses to gather their will and spirit from all over the fairy country and turn into entities that could communicate.
And the first earth elemental incarnation to descend, the Empress of the Earth happily stretched out her small hand and pointed at Joshua: "You are the thin, fierce human who is dressed in thin clothes!" β
Joshua, who was dressed thin and fierce: "??? β
In an instant, the remaining three elemental fairy queens also descended in turn.
Unlike the huge Elemental Forge Palace, the Legendary Elven Empress did not deliberately increase her form, they still maintained the size of an ordinary elf, that is, the size of an ordinary person's palm, floating on the four walls of the Elemental Palace, the fingers of the four huge elven statues...... on a small throne carved out.
I have to say that the idea of the elves is really difficult for ordinary people to guess, they built four giant statues hundreds of meters high in the Elemental Forge Palace, and then engraved their thrones on the outstretched fingers of these four statues...... If it weren't for Joshua's excellent eyesight, ordinary people would really not be able to see the figures of the four fairy empresses clearly standing on the ground.
But Joshua didn't come to complain about the goblin customs, in that case, with the strangeness of the goblins, he might not be able to finish talking about it for a few days.
The appearance of the goblins is no different from the miniature version of the elves, which is related to the fact that when they first determined their racial form, the first intelligent life they saw was the elves, and each elf had a pair of elemental wings of different styles in order to distinguish each other more conveniently.
Unlike the rumors on the ordinary continent, as pure elemental beings, the average strength of the goblin is not inferior to that of the dragon clan, and every adult goblin has the strength of a silver-level elemental mage, and they have a phase shield and a psionic body, and it is difficult for ordinary material and magic attacks to hurt them.
What's more, the goblins are petite and extremely fast, and if they can be ruthless and carry out all-out destruction, they can almost be said to be a miniature turret with extremely small targets, which can cause terrifying damage in some special areas.
Goblins have the world's first-class forging technology and power inheritance, they can forge holy swords and artifacts, in addition to humans and dragons, the race with the most legendary powerhouses in a clan, it is rumored that the casting of the holy sword Misterine has the help of a demon spirit craftsman, in the legend, this demon spirit craftsman even sacrificed his life, which made the indestructible Misterine holy sword form.
Of course, this is certainly fake.
The Empress of the Earth, if she had a normal human size, looked like a gentle elf young woman, her wings behind her were like butterflies, and the constant flow of earth elemental fluctuations constituted the intricate patterns on the butterfly's wings, and it could be seen that those ripples were actually some kind of powerful elemental spell model, as long as its owner wanted to, it could easily send out countless such magic.
The Empress of the Sea, who looked like a young and beautiful elf girl, had long sea-blue hair fluttering behind her, but ...... The wings behind her looked a little weird, and Joshua felt like some kind of sail, or some kind of shark fin? The warrior was a little confused about what it was, but because of the surging water elemental fluctuations on it, it didn't seem to be a big deal.
The Empress of the Sun, on the surface, was a beautiful woman with a bumpy figure, looking at Joshua's hair with a curious expression, muttering something like 'This thing doesn't seem to burn.' Joshua coughed, interrupting Her Majesty's muttering, but the warrior couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the shape of the Empress's wings behind her back.
Because...... That's exactly a pair of rocket jets!
The cylindrical fire elemental structure continuously spews out flowing flame magic...... This structure is simply two rockets suspended behind the empress, and it has nothing to do with the wings!
Finally, there is the Empress Tianlan, this fairy empress is very normal in terms of appearance and wings, she has a heroic elf hunter appearance, and a pair of winged wings, which can be faintly seen, and the energy feathers formed by the condensation of a little wind element continue to fall, and then dissolve in midair.
Of course, the above four empresses were only half the size of Joshua's palm.
It's cute.
"I know what you're here for, Earl Radcliffe."
The first to speak was the Empress Tianlan, the legendary goblin who was normal in tone, appearance and posture, she sat on her small throne and said to Joshua seriously: "You want to get secret information about 'World Formation' and some antiquity from us...... We can tell you, of course, but knowledge is priceless, and in exchange for it, you have to pay for it at the expense of another kind of knowledge. β
"Pay to get rewarded, this is our family's code."
"I have here first-hand information on the condensation of the power of steel into the prototype of the world, and I can tell you where that place is."
Naturally, Joshua had long known about the customs of the goblins, and he had already prepared a large amount of the price to be used in exchange.
As he spoke, the warrior used the power of steel to transmit the image of the Void Vortex that had been completely transformed into a nebula to the four fairy queensβand they could see that the four empresses let out an exclamation in unison, and it seemed that its contents were indeed important to them.
Indeed, the natural condensation and birth of countless worlds is undoubtedly a priceless treasure for the fairy empresses who are determined to create the world by themselves, and the first-hand information of the birth of this condensation is only available to Joshua and Karlis, who were in it at the time, and now the Void Vortex has entered a stable stage, and now if you go there, it is estimated that it will take tens of thousands of years to see a valuable change.
ββ¦β¦ Although I knew that you must have been prepared, I didn't expect you to be so prepared. β
The four empresses accepted the information package sent by Joshua, and were ready to wait until the future to analyze together, and after receiving the payment, of course they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and suddenly, the empress of the sea said happily: "Then human beings, whatever you ask, we know everything, and we can't say anything...... Well, depending on the situation, sometimes, you still have to leave a little bit that you can't say. β
The Empress Canghai noticed the warning eyes of the other empresses, and had to wave her hand a little awkwardly: "I'm not happy for a while, hehe." β
Joshua was a little suspicious now, and he came to the goblin to ask for information, whether he had made a mistake.
But now was not the time to hesitate, and the warrior asked without hesitation: "The goblins are the race that is the most well-preserved and the least affected in the three hundred years of the Lost, I want to know...... What do you think of this multiverse 300 years from now, the world galaxy we live in? β
As soon as this question came out, all of a sudden, the Elemental Furnace Palace, which had been a bit noisy, fell silent.
No matter how cheerful and unreliable they are on the surface, the Fairy Empress is also a legendary realm, and when they are serious, even the world will change due to their will.
It can be seen that the waves formed by the four elements are violently surging in the dome of the temple, blending with each other, and the petite and lovely humanoid goblin, this elemental frenzy like a tsunami torrent is the empress's body, they are the four devastating magic fluctuations that are enough to sweep the entire goblin country, and even the entire world, they are mixed with each other, and they use the method of elemental fusion to communicate secretly.
After half a ring, the Empress of the Earth, who seemed much more serious, stepped forward to answer Joshua's question.
"I don't know why Earl Radcliffe asked this question, but since we have been paid, we will answer it seriously."
The empress looked calm, and she said in a serious tone: "If you ask us what we think about this multiverse and the world galaxy three hundred years ago and three hundred years later, then we have only one answer, and that is very different. β
"What's the difference?"
Joshua asked, the warrior was not surprised by this answer, he actually had the corresponding answer in his heart, he just wanted to hear it from the mouths of the elves, and confirm his thoughts from the side.
"A lot of places, first of all, are the number of living worlds."
The Empress of the Earth straightened her hair, flapped her wings, and muttered, "You should also know that the so-called 'world order resonance phenomenon'? The formation of an ordered world will lead to the spontaneous condensation of all the surrounding steel forces, turning into a prototype of a world that is extremely similar to that orderly world, so there are a large number of life worlds with similar living conditions around each life world. β
"Three hundred years ago, we were not yet born, but our elders are still there, according to the information they left behind, the multiverse at that time, or our world galaxy was thriving, even if it was hit by the evil gods, countless life worlds were destroyed, but there are still a large number of worlds surviving."
And at this moment, the Empress of the Scorching Sun interjected: "Maybe you don't know, in the past, there were more than a thousand life worlds around the Mycrof world, although most of them could not be colonized normally for various reasons, but they existed as the resource world of the Glorious Age civilization at that time, and the Mycrof Star Field at that time was called the 'Thousand Star Domain'. β
"And now, after just three hundred years, let alone a thousand stars, there will be less than thirty dark and bleak worlds left in the entire star field, and I suspect that they are lying to me."
The Earth Empress coughed and withdrew her voice, she nodded, acknowledging that the Empress of the Scorching Sun was right, "That's true, that's the difference...... In addition, we also found that most of the life worlds in this world galaxy have disappeared, or rather, changed their orientation, or even been destroyed. β
"Look."
As she spoke, the Empress of the Earth also showed a light curtain, and in the light curtain, it was the void model of the world galaxy drawn by the Church of the Seven Gods after conducting deep space observations, and the Empress of the Earth pointed to the dim stars in the light curtain, and said in a solemn tone: "No, the world galaxy we are in should not have so few life worlds, even if the evil gods invade, it will never be possible." β
"yes." Empress Canghai nodded and sighed: "The world's self-healing ability is very strong, even if it is invaded by evil gods, it is impossible to die so quickly, at most, the surface is destroyed and the ecosystem is completely lost." β
In this regard, Joshua couldn't help but nod.
The empresses are right, the world cannot be destroyed so simply.
For example, in the previous life of the earth, the total number of nuclear bombs held by human beings in the 21st century was enough to destroy their own civilization, but they may not be able to destroy the continental ecosystem of the entire earth - let alone the marine ecosystem, even if this number is doubled by a hundred times, it is doubtful whether it can completely destroy the earth's crust, and only after the outbreak of black technology and the advent of the Datong world, can it pose a threat to the 'world' when interstellar weapons that are enough to destroy the planet's crust appear.
And in the same way with this multiverse, what the evil god has done is simply destroying the ecosystem, rather than completely blowing up the world - and the world is very tolerant in this regard, and the self-healing power is also very strong, just like the world of Karlis, even if it has been destroyed for thousands of years, it still maintains its own will, and even can save itself, until Joshua's arrival and help.
"If the biosphere is lost, the world will indeed fall into a trough, but after a thousand years, the little remaining seed will eventually sprout and slowly revive the world...... And we don't see a few worlds that can be revived, and most of them are completely destroyed, which is absolutely abnormal. β
The Earth Empress said. She is a goblin who specializes in earth and earth, and she does have the greatest say in this regard.
And Joshua also thought of the watery world that the Otherworldly Exploration Team had found...... Indeed, the world is clearly recovering, and the abundance of oxygen-producing algae is rapidly multiplying and returning to a normal ecosystem.
"Also, our World Galaxie model is also very strange."
This time, it was Empress Tianlan's turn to speak, and she twisted the model of the World Galaxy, filling it with elements and turning it into a luminous entity, "You see, according to the theoretical model, the World Galaxy generally only has a few forms, a few are oval, ring-shaped, and most of them are vortices with several cantilevers...... However, we live in a world where the galaxy is different. β
Noticing that Joshua's face had also become strange, Empress Tianlan's tone suddenly became a little low, and she sighed softly, "Yes, you can see it clearly, right?" β
"The galaxy of the world in which we live...... It is concave. β
