The strong power of steel resonates and resonates, just like two magnetic fields attracting each other. Joshua can clearly sense each other's every move and movement when No. 1 is hundreds of kilometers away underground. A cheerful mood.
"It's been... long time no see."
He whispered to himself softly.
Although No. 1 rarely gets together with others since the Abyss of Anos and the others, and has always stayed in the city of the rune dwarves, but even so, its contribution is definitely no less than that of others, whether it is living metal , super alloy, underground cave excavation, and subway penetration are all responsible for No. 1.
The technological development it brings can even be said to be the driving force for the explosion of magic technology in Moldavia. Without strange living metals and extraordinary alloys, many instruments cannot be used.
Joshua was not in a hurry to meet No. 1, but stood in front of the huge steel statue in the suburbs and waited quietly. At the same time, he continued to think about how to use the power of steel to correctly manifest what he wanted in his heart. A few hours later, when Joshua was surrounded by large and small metal statues, not far away, in a huge construction site, the figure of No. 1 walked out of the ground.
A huge steel body stepped out of the same huge hole. Around the construction site marked 'Moldavia Metro Station No. 1', many dwarf engineers were dispersing the surrounding human employees to clear a smooth path for the steel elements. Road, and the moment the Iron Giant came to the surface, it turned its head to look at the range of the warrior and looked at Joshua.
The next moment, it strode forward, and not long after, it arrived in front of the warrior.
"Click, click, click..."
Accompanied by the sound of metal scraping, the huge metal giant slowly knelt down in front of Joshua. The originally flat land collapsed due to its weight, and Joshua looked at the mighty steel giant, whose entire body was covered in armor. , smiled and stretched out his hand to pat the other person's huge head: "There is no need to be so serious. After all, you are also my creation, and you can also be regarded as my... child."
"Zizzi!" The steel giant was shaken and made a surprised and moved voice.
Although this sentence was a bit embarrassing, Joshua still admitted it. After all, No. 1 is indeed his creation, and in a sense, it is also his child... If nothing else, the other person's body shape is completely It's almost the same as his legendary true body, the only difference is in size and density.
Behind No. 1, the panting dwarf engineering team was walking on their short legs and desperately following No. 1. Some of them were smarter and drove over with magic forklifts. When they finally When he arrived, Joshua had already finished communicating with No. 1 and asked the huge steel giant to get up.
"Tell me, if you have something to do, bring No. 1 here to see me."
Joshua turned his head and looked at the leading dwarf engineer. This engineer had a big white beard that could wrap around his waist. This was enough to prove that the other party's status was high, second only to the rune dwarf's great forge. He is the first level elder in the group.
The dwarf engineer obviously understood Joshua's character, so he didn't waste any words. Instead, he bowed slightly to the warrior and said respectfully: "Lord, the subway between Moldavia-Winter Castle-the dwarf gathering place has been roughly completed. The underground passage has been excavated and reinforced, and the rails are being laid. It is expected to be laid before this winter - as long as the subway train is completed, experimental traffic can be tried."
"Yes, your progress is very fast, three months ahead of schedule."
Joshua was quite happy after hearing this: "If you are still short of funds, just apply, state my name, and say I approved it."
The Moldavia Subway Project is an underground rapid transit plan jointly developed by the Lords of Moldavia and the dwarves. Compared with the endless monsters on the surface and the changes caused by extraordinary beings, the underground subway is safer, and the dwarves' The existence also makes the originally high maintenance fees become insignificant - they have to maintain most of the caves, so it doesn't matter if they allocate a little effort to the subway.
In Joshua's plan, the huge subway network will cover the entire northern empire and link the entire empire together through the dwarves. This will not only allow the dwarves who were originally scattered throughout the empire to reunite their strength, but also allow the empire to spread everywhere. The forces are also reunited. After all, for the big forces, transportation is really the top priority.
"What surprises me even more is that you actually take care of No. 1 so well."
After discussing some matters about the subway with the dwarf engineer, Joshua raised his head and looked at No. 1, which had already stood up. It had become very big, nearly a hundred meters high. At such a stop, there was actually Qiao Xiu. The huge statue made by Asia is one-third tall. Even deep in the city, the huge figure, which is more than thirty stories high, can be clearly seen.
"I didn't expect that you would become so big after not seeing each other for such a short time."
Joshua patted the toes of No. 1 with great satisfaction - at human height, even the toes are difficult to photograph. His eyes were full of memories: "I think you were only so big back then -"
"Zizzi!"
Number One's one eye flashed red, feeling the care of his 'father', the steel element made a happy sound.
On the side, in the eyes of the dwarf engineer, although the appearance of No. 1 looks taller, in front of the tiny ant-like warrior, the huge No. 1 actually becomes smaller. This perception and the hugeness seen with the eyes The contrast made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he also felt that it was natural.
However, what was different from what the dwarf engineer thought was that although Joshua seemed to be just patting Number One, in fact, the warrior was observing the current physical condition of the steel element. Soon, he discovered something that made him Surprising fact.
—The internal body structure of this number one is extremely similar to his legendary true body!
Joshua was surprised to find that No. 1 was like a degraded copy of his legendary true body. Whatever organs, accessories, and plug-ins he had on his body, he would have the same organs, accessories, and plug-ins in his body! Except for the functional aspects that need to be discussed, the basic structure is completely the same!
In other words, if Joshua's ability is the power of steel, then No. 1's ability is to copy Joshua's ability, that's how similar it is.
"The prototype of the fusion heart, the electromagnetic control organ, the psychic leap engine... No, it's just a piece of crystal, and the internal structure has not had time to be copied. Ah, there is actually a mass wave condensed crystal, although it has not been activated... but most of the extraordinary organs It’s all here!”
Moreover, the body of No. 1 is made of living metal and can be deformed at will. It is also very simple to add any mounting devices in the future.
Joshua glanced at it and found countless abilities within No. 1's body. He couldn't help but secretly smacked his lips: "Good guy, is this the resonance of the power of steel? It has been so long since we have seen each other, but it can still be separated from each other. Sora copied my ability!"
Although this comparison is not quite correct, judging from No. 1's current strength, ordinary Jiyi can't do anything to it. If we look at it from the perspective of a Titan... No. 1 is only a child at several years old, and he only has such great strength. He is so strong and has a bright future!
But the warrior is not surprised by this. After all, No. 1 is the product of the crystallization of the power of steel in a world mixed with his power of steel. In a sense, it can be said to be an existence at the level of the Son of the World, surpassing ordinary Titans. This kind of intergenerational bloodline is not a strange thing.
At this moment, the distressed voice of the dwarf engineer appeared again.
"Sir, although Mr. No. 1 has helped us a lot, it is really too big..."
"We have almost thoroughly studied living metals and alloys, and we have made No. 1 eat a lot of various rare metals. There is no need for Mr. No. 1 to continue to stay underground - it can't get bigger! If we fight again, He won’t be able to move around our city and will get stuck.”
The dwarf complained to the soldier with a bitter look on his face, and Joshua thought for a while and nodded - thinking about it, a city built with a dwarf's stature can actually allow No. 1 to live until now. I have to say that this is A true miracle.
"Zizz, sizzle, sizzle."
Number 1 made a sound of agreement.
And Joshua also agreed with No. 1: "Yes, it's time for you to see the outside world... Of course. From now on, you and Hei can find a place to live in the mountains next to Winter Castle. I will Let the engineering team build one for you... You don't want it? Do you want to dig it yourself?"
After hearing No. 1's answer, Joshua shrugged: "Of course, it's up to you."
The soldier is quite open-minded. Whatever the child wants to do, as long as it is not too outrageous, he will generally not refuse.
At this time, the bustling sound of people came from the city gate, and many Moldavia people were already angrily watching the first number at the city gate and city wall.
"so big!"
"What is this, a giant armored golem? It looks so strong!"
If it were other times, they would definitely not dare to discuss this in front of such a huge extraordinary creature, but now, since Joshua is blocking this place, let alone a steel giant, they are not afraid of even an entire flying dragon army.
"Look, No. 1, they are welcoming you."
Looking at the people who were looking at No. 1 with curiosity, doubt, admiration, and envy, Joshua smiled slightly. He flashed and appeared on No. 1's shoulders in an instant. He said softly: "Welcome back." Home."
"Zizzi!"
…
After helping many people come to No. 1 and letting the Iron Giant take many children and people in the city to walk around the outskirts of Moldavia, Joshua also helped No. 1 integrate into the human world. Of course he knew that many of them were spies for other forces, but it was nothing if they knew this kind of news.
After taking Number One to the area around Winter Castle, Joshua did not return to the Lord's Mansion. It was evening at this time, and the luminous clouds over Moldavia were sparkling. He flew above the world and looked down at the entire Mycroft mainland.
In Joshua's eyes, as his height increased, the distant horizon gradually became a curvature, the shape of the world gradually became clear, and the light that enveloped the entire world became clearer and clearer.
Today, there is peace all over the world, but there are also a lot of changes.
The distant kingdom is now in a state of civil strife. In order to resist the mad dragon army, the royal family has faced off against the Lord of Frost several times, which has consumed too much power. Many ambitious people are ready to take over, even if the royal family opens the kingdom. The right to freely develop the territory around Nanling cannot satisfy the appetite of those people.
But Joshua knew that this action was impossible to succeed. The old pope had told him about it some time ago. He had already sent Loranda and Saya to quell the chaos. Now the world is in urgent need of accumulating strength to expand outward. , any internal friction is an intolerable loss.
Perhaps this is also the time for the Paladin to gradually appear on the scene after the fate of the world has been changed, cultivating his popularity and reputation as the successor to the Pope.
The Western Mountains are still in chaos, just like they have been for hundreds of years, but a stability has been unexpectedly maintained amidst this chaos. Because the cultists were gradually annihilated, and coupled with transactions and exchanges with underground civilizations, the Western Mountains are now gradually taking shape. A circle of extraordinary power with adventure as the main body.
Because of the high remuneration, many original war mercenaries and adventurers are more willing to participate in the task of exploring the underground world than their original war work. Now, starting from the huge underground cave, countless mercenaries carry dreams and hopes. , diving into the dark and profound abyss, they will go deep into tunnels and gaps one after another, looking for relics left over from ancient times.
In the process, they may encounter a war between underground dwarves and elves, they may enter endless underground cracks, they may get lost in this dark underground abyss and never return to the surface... But there will always be miracles. Favor some people and let them return home with great rewards.
This is not a lie, but a fact. A lucky team has indeed discovered the ruins of the Glorious Era. The magic items that have lost their effect and the books that are still well preserved have been bought by major forces at sky-high prices, and this team of adventurers has even more Becoming a distinguished guest of a certain kingdom and reaching the pinnacle of life—this immediately inspired more adventurers and mercenaries to explore.
For a force, instead of spending more money and money to explore the unknown underground abyss, it is better to use a bonus that looks big but is actually nothing to the country to attract commissions. For soldiers and adventurers to explore, both sides will find it a good deal, and no one will spend such a small amount of money.
Although there are occasional turbulences in the Eastern Plains and the Northern Empire, such as the competition between major magician groups and the overt and covert struggles of nobles, there is no big news other than that.
Guantian White Tower now puts all its energy on the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field. It is said that the legendary strongman Barbarossa has communicated with the long-sleeping will of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Ground, and now has obtained part of the giant gods through transactions. The Northern Empire, because of Joshua's relationship, simply brought back a damaged Titan Soldier for research. The technology in it was amazing even from today's perspective.
In addition, the popularity of fairy cards is not an accident.
Due to environmental reasons, fairy cards became popular earlier than in previous lives. This unique way of playing the game, and only needing a crystal card, you can register an account of your own and collect the development achievements of card battles. Sense... There is no doubt that the popularity of Fairy Cards is no accident. It has become a standard feature of any tavern. If a tavern does not have a Fairy Card table, it will undoubtedly be eliminated by other peers.
Speaking of this matter, in fact, the wind fairy Changfeng came over to ask Joshua some things some time ago - she seemed to want to make a warrior card, and patted her small chest to ensure that it would definitely be a powerful legendary card. card, but Changfeng didn't know the warrior's deeds, so he couldn't start designing.
Joshua was willing to tell her everything. After all, it was not a shameful thing. What he did was all honorable and praiseworthy. But... if he told her everything, it would be like bragging— After all, all kinds of saving the world, all kinds of ways to defeat ten thousand with one person, Joshua thought it was too fake when he thought about it. He could only attribute it to himself being so strong that he didn't even understand it.
"It's really peaceful this year."
Standing on the atmosphere just a thin line away from the void, Joshua looked down at the entire world and let out a rather heartfelt sigh.
And just when Joshua was sighing with emotion, he never imagined that the various changes he had brought to the world, when combined, would bring about how much change it would bring to Mycroft Continent—
"Barbarossa—look, this huge magical network!"
In the center of the eastern plain, there is a white tower that looks as if it is made of white jade marble.
"Oh my god, we haven't discovered it for so long... This network is so hidden. Without the code decryption brought by the Titan Soldiers, we would never have discovered it!"
The two legendary mages Barnier and William were in a secret laboratory above the 100th floor of the White Tower. They were talking to a bald mage with a serious face under the bright white light. The bald mage staring at the light curtain in front of him also murmured. Said: "Okay, Barnier, shut up quickly, I'm watching... The truth is above, it's so beautiful..."
For a long time, after almost memorizing most of the network structure, he let out a long breath.
"What a dazzling magical beauty. Is this incomparable perfect magic network innate, or is it a legacy left to us by the Era of Glory? If it is innate, then the world will treat us so well. If it is a legacy... "
Having said this, Barbarossa sighed slightly. The powerful legendary mage of elements couldn't help but squeeze his hand: "Then when can we surpass our ancestors?",
"You really think too much, my dear Mr. Hairless."
It seems that because of Barbarossa's previous words to shut up, Barnier also became merciless. There was not much estimation between the two familiar people. He shook his head and said: "How many years did our ancestors develop before they created Guangyao?" Era? It took the sages hundreds of years to unify the power of the entire continent. The history of our Starfall Era, even including the barbaric era, does not exceed eleven hundred years, right?"
"But you are right, this huge magic network that connects the entire world to each other, it is time to study it carefully and make it available to us!"
If you think about it carefully, just say it’s the Internet. Everyone knows it anyway, and I won’t beat around the bush.
