Moria Ironbody is thinking in the laboratory of Beppu.
He was lying comfortably on a recliner next to the huge forging platform, holding a long pipe in one hand and a water glass in the other. The old dwarf and the old god looked at the ceiling, although his face was frowning. Wrinkled, but stretched out from time to time, and then blew out one or two smoke rings.
This kind of time to smoke and think is the most comfortable moment for Moria. Although Joshua asked him not to smoke when the children are around, after all, Ying and Rin rarely come to the laboratory, so This has no impact.
And they are all divine machines. The old dwarf took a deep breath from the pipe in his hand helplessly and blew out a perfect circular smoke ring. He watched the circular smoke ring slowly rise and touch the ceiling, while thinking in his heart: Although those two guys looked young, they should actually be in their twenties now, right? This lord always judges people by their appearance.
A few weeks ago, the old dwarf returned to the dwarf gathering area south of the Great Ajax Mountains. After determining some of the measures to deal with dragon beast attacks, he came to the main city of Moldavia again.
As early as more than ten years ago, the actual power of the gathering place has been gradually transferred to the next generation of dwarf leaders. All he has is prestige and some degree of decision-making power. The implementation of most policies depends on him. It has nothing to do with it, so Moria came to Joshua's house this time and did not return for many days without causing any major consequences.
The old dwarf didn't think there was anything wrong with this approach. Anyone could manage the dwarves, but he had to create a new era.
As a blacksmith and a designer, Moria has lived for a long time. It was not until he met Joshua that he suddenly realized that forging can be so efficient and that the word industry is so charming.
Assembly line production, industrial chain, rune armor, magic armor, all the novel words were spoken by the young lord in a calm voice. The exquisite ideas contained in them made the old dwarf's blood boil. Sometimes, while listening, When Joshua talked about the possible future results of these technologies, he couldn't help but have a feeling that this was not a possibility, but a real future.
All in all, if I use one word to describe it, it would be shocking.
For many days, the two of them have been in this laboratory transformed from Beppu, further debugging and simplifying the magic circuit required for the magic armor. The two golden warriors were arguing beside the iron felt like ordinary craftsmen.
The most important thing about magic armor is its strengthening ability, and everything else can be simplified. The warrior believes that all appearance designs are irrelevant. Even his special armor does not need any artistic structure. , only the simplest and most unpretentious design is needed.
For the old dwarf, a good set of armor not only needs to be excellent in ability, but also needs to boost morale and improve appearance. The shock that a set of mighty armor brings to his subordinates is a small advantage in ability. What can't be brought about, not to mention just some subtle decorations, which don't require much effort.
But it turns out that what Joshua said is correct. Simplicity does not bring beauty, but too complicated a design will reduce the efficiency of assembly line production. This is originally the biggest advantage of magic armor. After the warrior listed several After formulating a possible formula, the old dwarf had to admit that not all craftsmen had his skills, and his ideas were still a bit outdated.
While the two were arguing, Ying had been organizing props and serving tea beside them. Occasionally, she would wipe Joshua's sweat and hand him the tools he needed. This scene couldn't help but make Moria, who came alone, feel extremely envious.
The divine machine is indeed the best assistant. He thought this and then sighed regretfully. But without extraordinary willpower and body, the contractor can easily be suppressed by the energy of the divine machine itself, and even cause the energy cycle in the body to collapse. Every time the contract fails, a strong man with gold-level potential in the future will collapse. Therefore, except for the Radcliffe family who inexplicably managed to make a safe contract every generation, the other families who learned about the existence of the divine machine never thought of popularizing this powerful weapon.
After all, the divine machine is nothing more than a powerful weapon. Extraordinary magic equipment is no less than the divine machine to a certain extent. Even if it is somewhat inferior in ability, the convenience of obtaining it far exceeds the abnormality of forging it. Troublesome god machine.
Just when the old dwarf's thoughts became more and more divergent, and finally he was about to fall asleep, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the city center, causing him to wake up suddenly.
The earth shook. It was like an earthquake, but it was completely different. It came very suddenly and disappeared very quickly. The whole Beppu shook slightly because of this, and most of the equipment related to magic were in His brilliance bloomed instantly.
"Magic pulse?"
There was a trace of doubt in Moria's eyes. Of course he could tell what kind of phenomenon this was, magic pulse. This was a phenomenon that occurred when some powerful magic item or creature showed its power. If he had triggered it himself Dou Qi can also produce similar effects.
But at this time, there were only two gold-level people in Moldavia, but this pulsating aura was obviously not Joshua, so who was it
He shook his head, sat up from the recliner, adjusted his clothes, and planned to go out to see the situation.
On the way, he saw the same puzzled magic projection No. 3. This artificial intelligence lady from another world's magic creation looked into the void and seemed to be using magic to detect the situation in the distance. Moria was ready to ask what this was. What's going on, but a bigger shock came quickly.
boom--
The momentum this time was much more violent than the previous sudden vibrations. If the previous phenomenon was probably just an illusion to civilians without magic power and fighting spirit, then this time it was a real earthquake, and the tables and chairs were all shaken. It was shaking, and the tea placed in the water cup was also shaking violently, and even splashed out.
But just like before, the vibration came suddenly and disappeared quickly. Within a few seconds, the vibration completely disappeared without any follow-up.
"it's over?"
Moria said to herself with some doubts.
"not yet."
The projection of No. 3 shook her head, and countless rune symbols flowed between her eyes: "Powerful fire elements are gathering in the city center. The energy has exceeded the upper limit of silver level and is about to enter gold level."
"No, it has already entered the gold level."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of waves that only those with extraordinary abilities could detect came over. Just as No. 3 said, the strong fire element aura started from the city center and spread to the surroundings. Now it has affected the entire main city of Moldavia. , in addition to this, there was also a faint coercion. Suddenly, the rats, insects and other small creatures hidden in all the houses ran out of their hiding places crazily and ran aimlessly around the outside world. The commotion caused was even greater than the previous earthquake, and the whole city suddenly heard shouts and curses.
"I'll go over and take a look."
The old dwarf decided quickly.
"Take me with you."
The projection of No. 3 pointed to the body she placed in a small cart, a violet rune core.
The old dwarf naturally had no reason to refuse, so a dwarf with a magic projection in his core quickly ran towards the city center.
And just when they arrived at the backyard of the Lord's Mansion in the city center, everything came to an end.
The violent fire element turned into a golden-red halo, surrounding a black war horse. Veins like lava shone back and forth on its body. The surrounding air fluctuated violently as if boiling, and the twisted atmosphere It even blurred the light above the entire Lord's Mansion.
And Joshua stood in front of the war horse, holding an empty bottle and rune box in his hands, watching this scene with a serious face.
Moria could naturally tell that this was the warrior's dragon-blooded war horse named Black, and the huge momentum before was probably caused by the awakening of the dragon-blooded war horse's bloodline.
But what kind of bloodline could have such a big vision? !
No one answered the old dwarf's doubts, but Hei stood on the ground and neighed loudly. It was hard to tell whether it was pain or pleasure, but it contained a hint of frightening pressure. As the sound spread, When it came out, the surrounding fire elements seemed to have heard the order and poured into its body continuously.
After eating the fruit of the Tree of Life and drinking a bottle of ancient dragon's blood, the black body now has a steady stream of violent life force being released. Driven by this force, its body continues to undergo various changes, lava The veins are just one of them, the life form of this war horse is fundamentally changing.
The first thing that started to change was the body shape.
Although the change is not huge, it can be clearly seen that under the influence of the power of blood, the skeleton of the war horse has undergone obvious changes. The originally black body still has a trace of the structure of the horse at first glance, but now it is If you look closely, you can clearly notice that this is a dragon.
On Hei's side, a giant bone thorn is slowly growing out, but it seems that because the power of blood in the body is not strong enough, the giant thorn stops growing when it reaches half of its length, and only forms the prototype of wings.
There is no need to elaborate on other scattered changes, such as the addition of bone thorns on the neck, and the ponytail has begun to transform into a real carapace tail. These are obvious changes that can be seen at a glance.
"Hiss-"
After reaching the limit of endurance, Hei Chang groaned, and then stepped heavily on the ground. The terrifying impact suddenly blasted the surrounding rock floor into spiderweb-like cracks, and the infinite fire element also rose suddenly, changing into a red mist. Above its head, the surrounding air becomes scorching hot.
The maids who were watching in the Lord's Mansion had long since hid in the house, watching this scene through the walls and windows. Some of the weeds and fragile wooden structures in the backyard had begun to spontaneously ignite. As the magic power gathered further, it was visible to the naked eye. The fierce flames burned around Hei's body, forming a red pillar of fire.
The pillar of fire was violently moving on the surface of Hei's body, and the heat that was enough to melt steel reverberated on the dragon-blooded horse—no, it could be said to be a half-dragon now. This heat had already burned the ground under Hei's feet into a golden red. The lava, however, was restrained by Joshua's power and did not spread around the Lord's Mansion, destroying streets and buildings.
"Very good. If you work harder, you can completely consolidate the bloodline of the black dragon and become a gold-level half-dragon with a bright future."
At this time, even Joshua's voice showed a hint of excitement. He didn't care whether Hei could understand it or not, and began to encourage his mount: "If you can advance successfully, I will take you there next time." Hunt fire dragons and use their dragon blood to enhance your strength!"
I don't know whether he understood Joshua's words or simply worked hard on his own. The moment the warrior finished speaking, Ryoma's eyes flashed with a golden light, and the moving pillar of fire quickly retracted from Hei's body. Proving that it has been able to gradually control the huge energy in its body, countless golden-red veins like blood vessels have appeared on the originally dark carapace.
These veins passed by in a flash, and finally gathered in the center of its chest. Suddenly, a golden-red core visible to the naked eye gradually formed, and its heartbeat became stronger and stronger.
Finally, the violent heartbeat could be clearly heard even several streets away, and the core of the black chest gradually stabilized and took shape.
"-hiss!"
Raising his head and hissing, Black Excitedly ducked his feet, and scorching flames splashed out along with the still-uncooled lava, and its now golden-red dragon pupils were filled with the joy of successful awakening.
And Joshua also laughed. He threw away the bottle and rune box in his hand, and then stepped forward. The warrior hugged his mount's head tightly, not caring about the heat that could melt the rock, but excited. slapping it on the back.
The current expressions of one person and one horse are enough to prove one thing.
Bloodline awakening, successful!
I fell asleep late watching the US election, so the update was late...
