"Want a real body. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Repeating No. 3's wish in a low voice, the corners of Joshua's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't seem to be embarrassed by it: "It's really a reasonable wish." ”

If you think about it carefully, when No. 3 was in the lord's mansion in the past, she did pay attention to Ying and Rin's figures, although she didn't know why because of her eyes, but she could indeed see that she had this wish.

Moreover, the same artificial life, one side has a body, and the other does not, which is indeed enviable.

After thinking for a while, the warrior replied: "Whether it is the materialization of a spirit body or an artificial body, the research in this area has already reached a certain eyebrow. ”

He looked relaxed, as if it wasn't a big deal: "When I have the opportunity in the future, I can contact the Mage Guild or those academies in the Eastern Plains, then it won't be a problem." ”

"That's my promise."

“……”

Number 3 didn't reply, just looked at Joshua's face seriously, as if to confirm whether his words were true or false.

Soon, she showed a faint smile: "Hmm." ”

Miss Artificial Intelligence took the initiative to hang up the communication, and before leaving, Joshua could vaguely hear a sentence: "I will work hard!" ”

"It seems that it doesn't matter if you say it's okay, but in fact, you still have to have a little reward, and you have to work harder."

The warrior chuckled, then put the communication circle away.

Now, it's time to head to the imperial capital.

And in another world, on the other side of the space-time passage of the Great Ajax Volcano.

The sky was dark, black clouds surged in the sky, and the top of the mountain peaks erupted pillars of dust that seemed to support heaven and earth, causing countless ashes to fall like rain, bringing a scorching breath and a dry and scorching wind.

Five kilometers from Sigmar Volcano, on a speeding magical armored vehicle.

"As you can see, this is the most dangerous place."

A voice came from the armored car, and in the wide transport compartment, twelve warriors wrapped in steel and magic patterns sat on either side, and in the center, a tall warrior in the same costume was speaking.

A dull voice came from the back of the armor, shaking the atmosphere into a sonorous and powerful statement: "Sigma Volcano is about to erupt, lava rain, fire meteorites, enough dust to drown people, and hundreds of degrees of heat will destroy everything around you, even if you are wearing the most advanced and sturdy armor of the Federation today, you may die on the spot at any time." ”

The fighters sat silently on the bumpy armored car, but from the look in their eyes, not a single one was afraid.

The speaker seemed pleased with this, and he was silent for a moment, then continued: "We Terrella Einsatzgruppen have experienced many dangers, extremely cold glaciers, underground caves, endless deserts...... We have all arrived, explored, and successfully completed all the dangerous parts of this world, and this time will be no exception. ”

When he said this, there was no strong fluctuation in his tone, just a flat narrative, but it contained a strong confidence: "Now, we are almost at our destination. ”

The armored vehicle was moving at a rapid pace, and now it was approaching the foot of the volcano, and the violent shaking shook the sturdy armored vehicle like an earthquake, and the dust that seemed to be like a landslide slid past it from time to time.

"Everyone, repeat, our mission this time!"

Suddenly, the standing soldier who led the team snapped.

And the warriors who were originally silent shouted at the same time, as if they were roaring angrily: "Find the missing Volcano Investigation Team and investigate the cause of their disappearance!" ”

"Good, ready, go!"

As soon as the words fell, the armored car stopped in a stable spot halfway up the mountain, and the twelve warriors rushed out of the carriage like lightning bolts, each running away in different directions.

The leader of the team stood in the middle of the carriage, he looked in the direction of the team's departure, his face expressionless, but after a while, the warrior looked up at the top of Sigma Volcano, which was constantly erupting with smoke and sparks, and couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, even a confident person like him has no confidence in this mission.

Since October last year, there have been various natural disasters around the world, such as earthquakes, sandstorms, melting glaciers, heavy rains, droughts, heavy snowstorms, extreme cold, and ice rains...... Countless disasters ravaged the territory of the Federation, making all disaster relief personnel exhausted, and now, as if it was the turn of a volcanic eruption, Sigma Volcano, which had been confirmed to be dormant, actually began to reactivate, and in just a few days, it reached the point of imminent eruption.

To this end, the federal emergency sent an investigation team, and authorized them to use the most advanced detector (this thing is so expensive that everyone does not want to think about that number) to assist in the study of the cause of the volcano activation, but it didn't take long for the detector to lose its signal, and the federal top brass was furious at the same time, but also shocked to find that the original investigation team of dozens of people is now unable to contact anyone, as if the whole group is missing.

There must be an unknown reason behind this, and the Tyria Exploration Team, as the Federation's most elite special exploration force, received this mission to find the answer behind all this.

The volcano was still brewing power, the warrior stepped out of the armored car, the soles of his steel shoes touching the gray-white dirt, he could even feel the pulse of the ground beneath him, the world's hot blood surging in the veins of the rocks, hoping for a chance to erupt, as a life, he was in awe of it, and a little excited.

-- This is a scenery that ordinary people will never see for many years, and it is a reward for the bravest.

At the same time, a series of magical communication arrays lit up from the armored car.

"Report 1, Sector 7 Nothing Found, Closed."

"Report 2, no findings in Area 13, closed."

"Report 3, Sector 32 Discovery of Metal Artifacts, Presumably Vibration Sensors Placed by the Investigation Mission, Conclusions."

"Start the investigation with this as the center, and maybe find other traces." The captain of the armored car quickly gave the order: "Keep in touch at all times, end." ”

Next, there were scattered small discoveries, and in the process of rapid investigation and exploration, the soldiers of the team found many traces left by the investigation team, and it seems that they did a good job at the beginning, and they were not as derelict as the high-level imagined.

"Report 9, Area 41 found that the Mission camp, as documented, had not changed its location and was closed."

Hearing the news, the captain immediately gave a serious follow-up order: "Investigate the inside of the camp, report the situation at any time, and go to Area 41 to gather from other team members such as the three areas, and the other fighters will continue to explore, and it will end." ”

And the report of Fighter No. 9 did not pause.

"There was no figure in the hall, and there were many papers on the table, which can tell that the investigation team was very flustered when they left."

"There are a few scattered shoes and papers in the hallway."

"The food and weapons research tools in the warehouse area were not used in large quantities, and it can be judged that the investigation team is very urgent at the beginning of the day, and there is no time for the rest of the day except to evacuate."

"There are many muddy shoe prints in the research center, and it can be judged that there were many people gathered before this."

No. 9 on the other side of the communication array quickly flipped through the entire camp, and his tone was filled with a hint of doubt: "Other than that, nothing has been found, and all external footprints have been buried by volcanic ash and mud rain, and I can't tell where the investigation team left to go." ”

"―――――― Boom !!!!"

Suddenly, a huge and incomparably loud sound, as if the sky was collapsing, this was a sound a hundred times more shocking than thunder, and the captain who stayed halfway up the mountain looked up at the top of the mountain, and he opened his mouth slightly to dissolve the huge shock suffered by his eardrums.

And in his eyes, heaven and earth are trembling.

Immense power pulsates in the depths of the earth beneath our feet, the fiery heat of the world itself.

The torrent of lava converges and is about to explode, which is not the result of any technology or magic, but a message that the warrior instinctively receives as a life.

The volcano is about to erupt.

"Damn! It was two hours earlier than the earliest time predicted! ”

Gritting his teeth, the captain decisively said loudly to each communication circle: "Mission terminated, repeat, mission terminated, everyone returns to area 0, repeat, everyone returns to area 0, end!" ”

"Report 9! What should I do with the information of the mission? Come to an end! ”

“…… Then bring all the information, be fast! ”

The Terella squad is indeed the most elite unit of the Federation, within a few minutes of the order, all the team members rushed back to the armored vehicle assembly place at full speed, and a few soldiers with a few cardboard boxes or instruments in their hands, they quickly entered the armored car, and the armored car did not wait for everyone to sit down, it quickly started, turned, and then rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.

――――Woo woo ---

As if a wail, as if a wail, a high-heat hurricane that was enough to melt steel erupted from the center of the crater, and the huge column of smoke suddenly became thicker, and even squeezed the thick black clouds in the sky open, making the clouds within a radius of tens of miles surge, and a little sunlight was revealed, shining on the mountain, and the golden luster rolled, incomparably sacred.

Although the gap was immediately closed, everyone was shocked by this scene.

-- This is the power of nature!

But then, they don't have the energy to shake.

-- Bang -- boom!!!!!! ―――――

First there was silence, then there was an eruption, and the summit of Sigma suddenly exploded violently, and the original circular summit was completely shattered, turning into endless fire meteors deep into the clouds, and the golden-red lava spilled like blood gushing out of arteries.

What is this like? The fighters on the armored car could not describe their shock in words, and could only watch this scene intently.

After a few moments, the red meteor left the earth and then fell again from the sky, and the meteorite that was lifted into the sky by the eruption turned into a bright line of fire and fell, and then touched the earth one after another, not only around Sigma Volcano, but also within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

The whistling volcanic meteorite fell on the peaks, forests and hills, so the mountains shook, the forests burned to ashes, and the hills turned into basins, and a meteor was flying towards the area where the armored vehicle was located, accompanied by the roar of the captain, in the violent vibration that made people think, the engine of the armored vehicle let out a roar, and it carried the soldiers above it away from this dangerous distance at an overloaded speed, and a violent explosion was produced behind them.

The supersonic shock wave quickly approached the armored vehicle, followed by the hot smoke, but their speed decayed so badly that they did not catch up, and the soldiers watched as the ground behind them turned into lava scorched earth due to meteorite falling, and the trees were scorched, and then burned, and the heat that burned everything swept through the dust, and the quartz crystallized into glass-like shimmering crystals, and the lava and dust fog then covered it.

They couldn't help but pray to the gods, this matter could not be stopped by man, they could only pray.

The eruption of the volcano again threw countless lava and smoke into the sky, and a line of golden-red fire crossed the sky, and then fell to the earth, bringing up a blazing fire, and the forest burned brightly, making it a sea of fire for hundreds of miles, the lake evaporated, the river changed paths, and countless water mist soared up, mixed with black volcanic ash, forming a muddy mist and heavy rain

"The map is going to be rewritten......"

Inside the armored car, it is not known who said this, and no one else expressed opposition, because he was telling the truth, and it was.

Even if the Sigma volcano stops erupting, the damage caused by the devastating impact will not be restored, the meteor has caused countless mountain peaks to collapse, the ground has subsided, violent earthquakes have fluctuated for thousands of miles, the underground waterways have been completely destroyed, and the forests have all been scorched, if it were not for the Federation evacuating the vast majority of the surrounding people, this eruption would have caused at least a million casualties and the disaster would have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.

Everyone is deep in thought about this foreseeable future, they are also members of the Federation, and even if their hometown is not here, this sadness will not change.

It's been a year of many disasters.

Just as the captain thought this, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from his side.

"Behold, what is that?!"

One of the fighters stood up, pointed to the gap behind the armored car and exclaimed: "Use a telescope to observe area No. 83!" Look! ”

Area 83? Isn't that near the crater?

Doubts flashed in the hearts of the captain and the other soldiers, but they curiously picked up the binoculars hanging from their waists and looked at Area 83.

In the shot, in the golden-red lava torrent, there is a huge black shadow lurking, and this black shadow is slowly rising, and then completely detached from the magma, step by step to a towering cliff.

Hot lava sliced through its side, outlining its massive body and muscular physique, a terrifying creature that was half dragon and half horse, all black, with a string of bright golden crystal nuclei on its chest, which shimmered like a sun, and two small bone spur protrusions on either side of the creature's front legs, as if it were the prototype of a pair of wings.

As the volcano erupted, a set of red elemental bands began to appear around the creature's body, covering the beast's sides like armor, repelling smoke, meteorites, and lava.

“…… Is that...... What creature?! ”

And a dragon roar that seemed to overshadow the eruption of the volcano appeared in everyone's ears through time and distance. (To be continued.) )
