boom.
The ground shook.
In the silent world, there was a huge roar.
In the ruins of the city shrouded in fog, something seemed to be moving. It was huge, looming in the gray haze, and its body was as huge as a mountain. It was trembling, and it seemed to be absorbing some power from the surroundings.
As it passed by, the mud and rocks disintegrated into sand, and the mountains collapsed into flat ground. The "power of existence" was extracted by this giant monster, causing the world itself to begin to shake.
Accompanied by a crisp sound like broken glass, everything around it became blurry and distant, as if it would cease to exist in the next moment.
-fire.
Vaguely, Yingying, who was still confused, seemed to hear a voice.
-fire!
This voice echoed between the sky and the earth, spreading throughout the world, as if it was expecting and praying for something.
What does the fire in its mouth mean
The girl asked herself doubtfully.
-Nature is the fire of the world. The original light of existence is only fire. Only fire can shine through the void and expel chaos...
boom! There was another loud noise, and the girl instinctively felt that the owner of this voice seemed to be preparing to answer her question, but for some reason, it was interrupted due to some influence. The loud noise from nowhere caused the answer to come out. The turbulent gray mist became fragmented, and the follow-up could no longer be heard clearly.
Along with the sudden roar, turbulent waves of chaos came one after another, making Yingying feel uncomfortable, as if a suffocating pain invaded her soul. However, a silvery white light lit up, and some inexplicable power Gently holding up the will of the divine machine girl, it blocks and expels all the power of chaos like a shield.
As time passed, the wave calmed down and the shield disappeared. She raised her head and stared at the dark sky. Firefly looked around in confusion.
Just now, she felt that a great will was watching her gently.
[Remnant of Fire, Descendants of Steel, creations of my people... You should not have come here before the promised time.]
A deep voice sounded in Yingying's heart, and at the same time, an inexplicable repulsion pushed the girl's soul away, rising to the dim light of the sun.
[Go back, go back for now, and wait until the promised day to take over your mission.]
Finally, when she was about to leave this world, Yingying, who was confused but somehow reluctant to leave, seemed to hear such a blessing.
[—May the sun always shine on your soul.]
Then, silvery white light flashed, and a feeling of being squeezed and pushed out came. In a trance, the silver-haired girl opened her eyes in reality.
She woke up.
"What, you woke up? Did you sleep well?"
The girl who had just woken up just sat upright, her eyes were dull, and she seemed to have not yet woken up. Her long silver hair was a little scattered, and there were even some hair strands that were caught in her mouth for some reason. In short, she didn't understand what had just happened. What had happened? After hearing her master's ridicule, Yingying immediately trembled. She stood up quickly and apologized in a panic: "I'm sorry, master, I don't know why I feel sleepy all of a sudden..."
Then I had a dream... Strange, what did I dream about just now
"Obviously, as a divine machine, you shouldn't sleep. Why..."
Biting her lips, Miss Shenji slightly arched her slender eyebrows, and said to herself in trouble: "Shenji does have a dormant state, but this is different from sleep."
"It doesn't matter, there is no need to react so drastically. Sleep is a ritual for adjusting memory and purifying the soul. Even a vampire dragon that does not need sleep will sleep for several years or a hundred years according to needs."
Joshua looked at the silver-haired girl talking to herself in confusion. He felt that this kind of firefly was unexpectedly cute. He couldn't help but teased: "No matter what, next time you want to sleep, just tell me Just say it, I'm not a bad person, how can I bear to let you yawn and work with me?"
Speaking of this, the warrior suddenly discovered that he had not slept for a long time since he advanced to the gold level. For such a long time, once he felt tired, he would just close his eyes. After a short rest of one or two hours, You will be able to fully return to full strength and continue working.
With such high-intensity fighting and training, if it weren't for Joshua, most people would have collapsed long ago, but the divine girl followed him all the way and was never absent... Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed. He was absolutely ashamed. He never expected that he would unknowingly become a black-hearted lord who exploited his subordinates, and a scum who oppressed child laborers.
Although Hotaru always says that she is as old as the warrior - but who cares about her, the warrior is a visual creature.
The silver-haired girl was still frowning as she recalled. She vaguely remembered seeing a lot of strange things in her dream. Although she was a little confused at that time, she still remembered some things.
"What exactly is it… "
Standing in front of the sofa, walking back and forth, Yingying thought hard, but at most she could recall some fragmentary impressions - the gray fog, the stagnant world, everything wrapped in stone crystals, the waves of chaos and the huge creatures moving slowly in it. ... Although it sounds like a lot of content, no matter how hard she tries to think of it, Hotaru still can't think of anything more.
"This time it feels similar to the memory fragments I saw through the master's will when I was on the city wall last time. Although I feel like I have seen a lot of things, I can actually only remember a little... Could it be that I just unconsciously interacted with Are some great beings linked together?"
Thinking secretly in her heart, Yingying was very puzzled: "But it is because of the divine machine contract that I have the conditions to share memories with the master. Why am I linked to that existence?"
"Um?"
Just when she was distressed, the silver-haired girl heard her master's slightly interested voice; "Dwarves... are they going to give me a set of armor?"
Joshua sat in front of the desk, holding a gray-black letter in his hand. He looked at the content on it with interest: "It was actually the chief dwarves, the Iron Body Moria, who personally took action? Doesn't this mean that Is it almost certain that it’s a legendary equipment? Just give it to me directly like this?”
This is one of the few good news recently. The soldier couldn't help but nodded. He had just read the other letters and roughly confirmed that the description of the situation in the imperial capital in Alfonso's letter was all true. He was feeling unhappy, but Now that he suddenly had such good news, he felt much happier.
The dwarves actually have their own set of writing and grammar, but naturally they also know the common language used by humans. However, if it is just a daily conversation, it is fine, but if it is written into a formal document, according to the habits of these guys, the sense of dissonance will definitely be sky-high. .
After wasting a while, Joshua read the entire letter. A large section of it was filled with meaningless blessings and words. The core content was roughly to congratulate the warrior on inheriting the title and obtaining the 'qualification' - this Qualification, Joshua thinks that he has successfully contracted with the divine machine - so according to the ancient agreement, they will forge the best armor for the warrior and give it to him for free. If there is a chance, they will also send envoys to come. Come to visit and set a date to pick up the armor.
"The dwarf's armor must be the best among the best. I can't wait to get it."
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 people of my level. In the battle with the black dragon and the dragon spider, , even the best enchanted armor can't last long, and it's basically completely destroyed within a few minutes... This time it's really a timely help."
The weapons have magical weapons, and the armors have legendary equipment made by the Dwarf Forge. Joshua feels that even in his previous life, no one of the same level has had such luxury.
Time passed. At this time, in Beppu's study, the black-haired warrior was thinking about the future, while the silver-haired girl was worrying about her dream. No one spoke, and suddenly the whole room fell into silence.
"Dong dong dong."
A quick knock on the door broke the silence.
