Although Joshua now wants to explore one side of the time and space gate and have a good adventure, it is obvious that now is not the perfect time to explore.
Now, they were deep in the volcano, and they did not carry too many supplies or equipment. They only carried some equipment that was helpful for exploration. In general, they were prepared, but they were not on the right track.
Now, the high temperature that originally caused the human body to spontaneously ignite has gradually reduced to a barely bearable level that can dry people out. And Hei's huge body is swimming in the lava, and the core of his chest shines with golden light, absorbing the energy in the lava. energy.
Its body rolled, setting off blazing waves in the vast golden-red sea, lapping against the black lava rock where Joshua's men stood.
The members of the exploration team have taken out a lot of equipment and recorded all the scenery and environmental information here. However, they do not understand the significance of the space-time door above their heads, let alone what the world behind it represents, and Loranda's expression Looking at Joshua complicatedly, as a golden peak paladin, he could also feel that the world opposite did not have the extremely strong aura of chaos like the Plague Land.
This means that that world may still be intact and has not been eroded by the evil god. It is only connected to the Mycroft continent simply by accident.
"Joshua, what are you going to do?"
Taking a deep breath, the paladin calmed down, and then asked the warrior in a low voice: "You should know that there is a new world behind you!"
A brand new world with infinite possibilities and an infinite future!
“Biding your time and then exploring when you’re ready.”
Joshua did not hesitate at all, and quickly replied in a calm tone: "Plan the development of the territory, squeeze out time from the schedule, and then come back."
These words were spoken extremely calmly and dryly, without any emotion such as excitement or joy. The Paladin was stunned for a while after hearing this, not knowing how to reply.
He believed that the warrior on the other side must know how great a resource a complete world is, but with this attitude... the other side was really too calm! Even he, an ascetic paladin with almost no desires and desires, couldn't help but be a little excited, let alone a lord!
Could it be that he wanted to...
"Loranda, calm down, it's not the time to get excited yet."
But the warrior's voice appeared again, and he said with a smile: "Do you think I want to take over this world? To enmity with the Church of the Seven Gods for this? Stop making trouble, I can't be so stupid."
Having said this, Joshua shook his head: "Paladin, you should really learn how to control your expressions and emotions. Otherwise, everyone can see what you are thinking. This expression is so understandable. In this regard, you are so naive that you are adorable.”
Loranda was choked by this paragraph and couldn't say a word. In anger, she could only stare at Joshua with her blue eyes to see what else he could say.
However, Joshua changed his tune and started talking about other things: "Although I am naive, I will still explain to you - a world like this, although it seems to be extremely precious now, will only last for one or two years." Afterwards, it is useless that no one cares about."
When the demon tide comes and the demons are resurrected, countless time and space channels will be opened at will, connecting the infinite worlds into one, especially the [Ancient Sacrificial Site that Connects All Worlds] suspended in the starry sky, you know, This is not a random name.
It is the transfer station that truly connects all worlds.
But Loranda couldn't understand it at all - in fact, few people in this world could understand what Joshua's words meant. The Paladin frowned after listening, looking very anxious and completely lacking his usual composure. .
-The soldier in front of him, Joshua, is just like his adoptive father. He clearly knows everything, at least most of the information, but he always explains it in unclear words. It makes people feel itchy, but he doesn't even ask. Don't even know where to start.
But now Joshua doesn't seem to be in the mood to continue explaining.
"Get ready to go."
After observing the surrounding lava and underground cavities, the warrior thought for a while and then made such a decision.
Joshua looked around the calmed lava lake, then turned his head and said to all the members of the exploration team and Loranda: "Now, the most important issue here has been dealt with, why so many elements have accumulated. Once we know the reason, the next problem cannot be solved with the simple equipment now."
Having said this, he looked back at Loranda and said softly: "There is nothing we can do right now. Even if we enter, we will be back soon. It is better to wait until we are fully prepared before we consider it." Get in there and explore.”
This sentence is very real. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. Joshua was able to say this sentence out of curiosity because he had thought carefully.
Loranda also had to admit that what he said was right. Forcibly exploring the space-time gate now would do nothing but satisfy their curiosity. Going back now was their only choice.
Indeed—should we set off now to explore another world
They still don't know the situation on the other side, and they don't know what the environment is like there. Although they don't feel the breath of chaos, they don't feel the unusually close breath. Although humans are likely to be able to survive on the opposite side, they can't. It is more likely that it cannot. After all, as long as the environment is slightly different, it will cause huge deviations.
Moreover, with their number of people, materials, and exploration preparations, they are not enough for a cross-world expedition. This adventure is just to explore the mysterious area in the volcano, and the preparations are also aimed at this aspect.
While Loranda was thinking, Joshua was giving the last few instructions.
"Hei, you stay here and guard the space-time gate."
The warrior turned to look at the half-dragon war horse that was happily stirring the viscous magma in the lava, and then decisively issued this order: "Watch the surroundings and don't let anyone go in or come out. This is your home ground, as long as it's not You can definitely handle a monster at the level of Jiyi."
"Roar!"
After hearing his master's order, the half-dragon war horse roared loudly in response.
"Keep your voice down, silly dragon!"
Violent sound waves shook the elements and rock walls, causing a lot of rock powder to fall from the top of the cave. This made Joshua change his face - if the cave collapsed, he could protect everyone, but the space-time gate Being buried would be a big trouble. You must know that this is under a volcano. If the road is really blocked, it will undoubtedly be extremely troublesome to determine the location and dig out a passage.
"Woooo..."
Hei seemed to be aware of his problem. Hei groaned in a low voice, and then dived into the lava as if ashamed, hiding his body. This scene made Joshua, who was originally a little angry, dumbfounded, and then involuntarily He laughed and said, "... You are actually a lot smarter. You can act like an ostrich and you are also afraid of my scolding."
In any case, with everyone whispering and exclamating in low voices, this exploration came to an end in shock and admiration. It threatened the four territories of the North and was very likely to cause the mysterious area of the volcanic eruption to be cracked by Joshua. Although I accidentally discovered the space-time gate, but the current preparations are not sufficient, so I will wait for the next exploration.
Hei was simply left in the lava pool. According to Hei's list in the system, Joshua discovered that after having sufficient energy sources, this guy didn't need to eat. He just soaked in the high-temperature lava. This half-dragon is a hundred times more energetic and can even gain strength continuously.
It's really good, it's a good place. The soldier nodded, thinking with some relief.
The Black Refining Dragon is a giant dragon known as destruction and creation. It is the true embodiment of the concept of "fire in water". Lava is its native place. It is not surprising that Black has inherited its bloodline and gained the ability to live in it.
After once again asking Hei Yan to guard the space-time door and not to let things from the other side come over, and not to let things from here go in, Joshua took Ying, Rin, and others back to the Black Forest Fortress.
"As a result, we didn't encounter any enemies this time."
Sitting on the conference room seat in the central tower of the Black Forest Fortress, Ying said with some regret to the young man beside her. The silver-haired girl was wearing a rare long-sleeved shirt and trousers today, and her hair was tied into a ponytail. With a heroic spirit, she lay half on the table, put her hands on both sides of her slender neck, and said helplessly: "There are fewer and fewer opportunities to fight recently, it's so boring..."
“Compared to a year ago, things have been so mediocre recently!!”
"This is normal."
But before Joshua, who was standing at the window, could reply, Rin, who was sitting on the side with his head propped up in his hands in a daze, blinked and quickly replied: "Fighting is not something worth looking forward to - even if it comes to fighting, It must be under our control and must not cause unexpected losses. As for last year... its scientific name is troubled. Although it can satisfy your wish, it is not a good thing for the master's territory. You must not have such thoughts. "
"I'm not just talking about it..."
Being blocked by her brother's excuses and unable to speak, Ying secretly raised her head and looked at the back of Joshua's head, who had been silent. After realizing that her master had no intention of participating in this topic, she breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Joshua was thinking about a question that had nothing to do with any previous topics.
"Recently, Ying and Rin are becoming more and more humane, more like humans than weapons, just like the old butler."
Although he looked out the window, thoughts were swirling in his mind: "It seems that the divine machines will also acquire human-like thinking logic through learning... This is progress."
He felt a little relieved, as if watching the children growing up.
Moreover, the cultural lessons over the past few days are indeed effective and need to be continued to be strengthened in the future.
He thought like this again, and then for some reason, the thoughts in his mind kept deviating until he reached another issue that he had never paid attention to.
"Come to think of it... As for Hei, is he a male or a female?"
