When Joshua relied on the power of steel to easily see that the dragon girl in front of him was actually a ball of plastic slime, he fell into a brief shock.
Syndicate...isn't it a Balrog? No, no one said that the Balrog must be male. This is a misunderstanding... It's also wrong, the Balrog has no gender at all! But even so, why did the Syndicate choose Lisa's image to shape? This is completely inconsistent with daily cognition!
What happened next is difficult to describe in words. In short, a few minutes later, when Joshua arrived at the gate of the Lord's Mansion with a dejected Hei in one hand and a lifeless Syndicate in the other, a large group of people in the Lord's Mansion suddenly They all gathered together and asked questions in amazement - there was even the real Lisa among them. The dragon girl had just returned from the factory area with Hotaru and seemed to have bought some furniture for a new house.
Some time ago, Lisa suddenly expressed that she did not want to live in the school dormitory and wanted to find a house to live alone. Naturally, no one would refuse this normal request. As for money, if the credits in Lisa's hands were converted into precious metals, they would even be enough to buy There were small single-family villas around the Lord's Mansion, but the dragon girl just bought a small building in the Nancheng factory area and moved in immediately.
The environment in the factory area is actually not very good, but the high magic radiation is not a problem for Lisa. There is even a pair of enthusiastic brothers and sisters next door to help. I heard that her brother seems to be a member of Winterfort Academy.
At the end, Rin summed it up best: "So, because the Syndicate turned into you, in order to avoid misunderstandings, and I really don't know how to explain it, I just moved out first?"
"Actually, I want to move out too."
Scratching her head, Lisa smiled shyly: "But the main thing is that I want a home of my own, so that I can feel more at ease."
On the other side, Syndicate was confessing.
"Sir, when you helped me shape my body last time, you said you could shape a new body according to your own wishes."
At this time, the Balrog sat on the chair honestly and told the details of what happened: "But after all, I am a Balrog. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out how to make a human body... I waited until I got home and slept for a while. When I woke up, I became drowsy and looked like this."
"Is it instinctive... Staying in Lisa's body as a part of the other person's body for too long has resulted in not only the exchange of blood, but also the essence of life beginning to affect each other."
Joshua wasn't asking for torture - he was mainly curious about the transformation of the Balrog. But if he thought about it carefully, it was normal. Advanced slimes and abyssal oozes did acquire other biological forms by devouring other creatures. Syndicate's body has the same deformation ability, and is even more advanced. It can change and even strengthen its form in accordance with the surrounding environment.
But unlike other similar species, they acquire tangible bodies by devouring other creatures. In a sense, Syndicate was swallowed by Lisa for more than half a year, which in turn affected the essence of its own bloodline... It's really embarrassing, no, Balrog.
To be honest, the name Balrog is a little inappropriate now. At this time, the Syndicate is better at using the electromagnetic power inherited by the Thunder Ancient Dragon. As the power of Balrog, it only retains the "heat" aspect, which can only be used in winter at most. Use it as a hot water bottle for Lisa.
"Think openly, at least Lisa looks very beautiful, which is much better than you turning into an ugly person."
Yingying patted the Syndicate on the shoulder carelessly: "And if you change into a man, you can't continue to live with Lisa - if you live with an underage girl, you will be arrested in the Moldavia prison. of."
Syndicate: "Well, ah, oh..."
"That's right!"
Heiye, who had a small light on his head, added more jealously: "You actually relied on Lisa's cute image to trick me into going out to play cards. It's really too much!" "Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding! (It's really too much!)"
Syndicate: “…”
In the final analysis, it was a small episode, not a big deal. According to No. 3, it was just thinking about someone day and night, causing him to become someone. It was rare for everyone to get together and have a meal at the Lord's Mansion. Unfortunately, the third A small team was on a mission in the Ural Mountains at this time. Otherwise, Joshua's student team would have been gathered together if they were called together. But even so, Joshua encouraged the other party through the information terminal.
At this time, the first four people in the first team are about to graduate, and their strength is about to reach the golden realm after six or seven years of sophisticated training and high-intensity combat. In fact, the leader Ivan has already explored the last time. He touched the golden barrier when he was in the underground world, and recently entered the golden realm. But after all, normal people are not like Joshua, who immediately stabilizes after entering. He still needs a period of precipitation to fully stabilize his power level. leap.
In addition to Ivan, his sister Amira has changed her profession to become a dragon mage - to put it bluntly, she is a mage who raises dragons. This former hunter girl has extremely terrifying elemental affinity talents. Without interference, It can quickly release a large amount of high-power magic, which can directly destroy a small forest. It is a real fort. Now the first team is protecting her, but in the future, as long as the white dragon grows up, she can fight independently.
Karin, who is unassuming and even extremely low-key, is actually close to breaking through the golden realm. She has built a stable elemental furnace in her body, which can quickly restore her magic by consuming the magic substances stored in her body, and release magic far beyond her level. The structure of this elemental furnace is actually the precursor to the melting core in Joshua's body. As long as Karin moves forward step by step, she will one day become a being who can control the power of the sun.
The seventh prince Alva's strength is progressing normally, and his fighting spirit is rising steadily, which is not worrying, but there is no unexpected progress. The same is true for magic, but I heard that he has recently learned to cook good food, which makes everyone in the team To his own displeasure, he even learned to assemble magic puppets, showing incredible talent in magic engineering.
Dwarf Nick is the most unique one... At this time, he is in retreat in a secret place and is not participating in the mission with the first team. It is said that he is using enhanced magic and magic elements to transform his body and sublimate his life. essence, and then step by step become an extraordinary existence beyond ordinary human beings. To be honest, this is actually the direct path to legend, a path similar to that of the legendary rune mage Barnier. If Joshua were to ask, who among all his students is most likely to be the first? To reach the ultimate goal, it must be Nick, not even Lisa, who is currently the most powerful.
After the meal, Lisa happily held Syndicate's hand, said goodbye to Joshua and others, and then returned to her house in Nancheng District. Everyone in the Lord's Mansion watched each other leave, and then packed up as usual. stand up.
Joshua returned to the study—he hadn't been here for a while. The soldier stretched out his hand and touched the world map hanging on the wall on the side of the study. It was dotted with many small red and black dots, and there were a few lines of small words below some of the dots.
Those were the various major events recorded on the map at the beginning of his time travel, such as the target of the mad dragon's raid, the civil war in the empire, the headquarters of various princes and princesses' forces, the gathering place of some cultists... all kinds of things, he still remembered at that time Most of the things he clicked on reminded him of how dangerous the world he was living in was.
But now... Joshua chuckled, waved his hand, silver light flashed, the map of the old continent that had turned yellow was replaced and placed in the drawer, and a brand new 3D light curtain appeared. On the wall—that is the world galaxy model where the entire Mycroft world is located! It can be seen that thousands of stars are shining with light, and a conspicuous red star is shining at the edge, which is where Mycroft's world is.
But Joshua still seemed dissatisfied. He shook his head and shrank the huge model of the world galaxy to an incomparably small size. Then, he lit up an extremely bright and billion-sized star far away from the world galaxy. A ball of light that cannot be compared even if billions of worlds are put together... That is a virtual model of the initial fire, because there are no words in the world that can describe it or anything that can imitate it. Except for the small group of world galaxies and the primordial fire, the positive multiverse is dark and shrouded in dark mist.
Joshua nodded.
This is the multiverse in his mind.
Afterwards, the soldier stood in front of the model and fell into deep thought for a long time. Rin opened the door and prepared to clean up the study. After seeing Joshua like this, he quietly closed the door and left, while No. 3 and Yingying also secretly watched. Behind the eyes, I stopped disturbing him.
In the early morning of the next day, Joshua sighed and stopped looking at the multiverse model. Instead, he turned around and left, continuing his experiments on 'repairing the light beam' and honing his own strength. The busy and fulfilling days passed quickly. , time soon came to March 3, 838, the year Starfall.
On this day, Joshua, who was still optimizing the system of repairing the light beam in the underground dust-free laboratory of Winter Castle, was notified by the unknown technician.
"Sir, there is a communication from the Church of the Seven Gods. Please access it."
The nameless mechanic woke up the next day after being comatose. After knowing that the civilization he was looking forward to did not actually exist, and that the original world of despair had been reshaped by the Python of Steel, he sighed and gave up returning to the world of Siberia. thoughts.
"It's meaningless. Even if my kindred rebuilt civilization, it would be completely different from what I expected before... Besides, this world is more interesting, isn't it?"
Wuming's words were straightforward and without any hidden thoughts: "We have all come to the new world, so let's live in the new world. People always have to move forward and look forward."
As for Wuming's name, just call it Wuming. This is a matter of his own decision. According to the other party's words, some people call it 'bush', some people call it 'wild boar', and some people's names directly mean 'someone's son'. ', then it doesn't matter if he is called 'No Name'. All in all, Wuming is currently receiving teacher training as a specially appointed lecturer of Soulology and Puppetry at Wintercastle College, and is preparing to open a new subject of 'Intelligent Constructs' under the Department of Magical Energy Constructs in the future.
Before he officially took office, he occasionally served as Joshua's experimental assistant, helping him with experiments related to repairing the light beam.
After hearing Wuming's words, Joshua stopped what he was doing. He strode outside the laboratory and asked with a frown: "Seven Gods Church? What does the old Pope want to do with me? It always feels like it's not good news. .”
But it turns out that Joshua's premonition was wrong this time.
"Joshua, unprecedented good news!"
In the communication secret room, on the other side of the light curtain, Joshua rarely saw Pope Eagle showing such a happy expression. In his memory, this old man who worked hard for all living beings in Mycroft's world basically always had a sad face. There are very few times when I laugh from the bottom of my heart.
But now, the other party was stroking his white beard with a smile, and even if he accidentally pulled out one of his beards, he did not care about it and let the beard turn into holy light and dissipate: "A few days ago, the Holy Mountain battleship was on daily patrol in the void, receiving An unexpected message has arrived—we have once again received a request for help from the unified information database!"
"real?!"
This time, even Joshua couldn't help but raise his voice: "Can you determine the location? You have been prepared this time. Even if you can't determine the coordinates, you can at least narrow down the possible range, right?"
"Indeed, we have confirmed the area where the signal is located!"
On the other side of the light screen, the old pope's expression was quite emotional: "It's completely different from what we guessed at the beginning. The source of the signal is located in the dark void of the Void Vortex. The light of the stars there is dim, and most of them are It is a dead world, so it was not a key investigation target from the beginning, and the possible range we first selected is really far from this area. If we search blindly, we may not find any clues yet!"
At first, both Eagle and Joshua planned to give up on saving the guardians in the unified information database because they were really powerless. The void is too big and there are too few people. In the absence of accurate signal coordinates, searching the void is a large-scale operation that takes ten years as a unit. In order to save some people who are actually destined to die, a world's few resources are wasted. Void-level power is too emotional and completely inconsistent with the interests of civilization. Of course, absolute sanity is not what they want. It’s just that they are confused and don’t know where to start if they want to save them. Moreover, considering the difficulty of transmitting information in the void, the target may have died long ago and cannot be saved at all. .
But this time, with a rough area lock, it is not difficult to search the world. As long as the target is clear and the target is alive, then a rescue operation can be attempted.
"The content of this signal is similar to the last time. They both say that the inner circulation circle has been damaged, and they are just hanging on for a while - but recently, a large number of tiny material clouds have appeared in the empty darkness where they are. By collecting these materials, they were able to sustain themselves until now and send out a second signal for help."
Eagle said so, and he passed the collected original planets to Joshua, and Joshua nodded seriously after sensing it for a moment: "It seems that they can still hold on for a while, and they can start taking action."
"Originally, we couldn't save him, so we planned to give up. But now that we know the range, it would be too much not to try again."
The old pope nodded happily. He had always been brooding over the fact that he could not save the guardian of the large information database, sighing at his own powerlessness. But now that things have turned around, of course he would be sincerely happy: "Indeed, after all, , they are also our compatriots."
"Then next, I will go and inform Israel, Nostradamus. I will go to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice again later."
After a brief thought, Joshua immediately made a decision: "It's almost time to let the Empire's External Exploration Department conduct its first practical exploration... and my creation."
As he said that, the warrior turned his head and looked through the wall to the repair light beam in the dust-free laboratory in the distance. He showed an intriguing smile: "You can also really try the effect."
The person taking the initiative has always been Lisa.
