Soul of Burning Steel

From Joshua's decision to go to the giant pyramid until he arrived, it didn't take much time to be honest, it only took a few minutes in total.

The flying speed of the strong golden man can break through the sound, and with the fluorescent white fog as the coordinates, everyone doesn't have to worry about getting lost, and they naturally quickly arrived at the side of the huge pyramid.

From the side, it can be seen that there are obvious signs of weathering and erosion on the tracks of this miraculous mobile fortress. The erosion of magic power and matter by the surrounding environment inevitably turned these once perfect creations into rusty ones now. The appearance looks good from a distance, but when you look closely, there are obvious cracks in many parts, and yellow and black stains are everywhere.

However, in contrast, on the huge silver-white trapezoidal pyramid, Joshua unexpectedly did not see any traces of time erosion, and he even noticed that on the smooth three sides of the pyramid without steps, In fact, there are countless reliefs, but because the reliefs are too huge, and there is really no bright light source in this world, so when I watched it from a distance, I couldn't notice it at all.

On the top of this relief is a wave like a white cloud, and below it are totems of countless types of birds, and at the bottom is the pattern of the earth and the sea. Mountains, cities, crowds and huge ships are all in it, like A whole world is drawn.

And the crystal ball suspended at the bottom of the tower naturally symbolizes the sun—just like this world, the sun is shrouded in darkness and the sky is dark and dull. Extinguished, but even so, it still faintly exudes a sacred and orderly force, maintaining its own form.

"It's indescribably magnificent... However, logically speaking, more than a thousand years have passed, so why does it still maintain such a perfect shape?"

Joshua stopped in mid-air. He looked at the huge building in front of him and thought seriously: "Such a huge fortress has not been destroyed by Rage God. There must be some means of self-defense. There is a certain risk of approaching rashly. Dangerous...you need to try it out first."

Without hesitation, he immediately gathered a mass of red fighting energy in his hands, and then 'sent' it to the vicinity of the pyramid, but the strange thing is that the cloud of fighting energy did not encounter any obstacles, but slowly shrunk by itself, Then it dissipated naturally before touching the silver-white steel relief.

"An energy-grabbing defense... If that's the case, it won't be considered harmful."

Nodding thoughtfully, Joshua learned a lot of information through the temptation just now: "The reason also makes sense."

Rin, who was carried on his back, hesitated for a while, and then said softly: "Master, I think the aura of the divine machine I felt before did not come from the wreckage of the divine machine underground, but from here."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger to the middle area of ​​the huge pyramid: "The breath is inside, and it's very obvious."

"Inside?"

After pondering for a while, Joshua turned sideways, and said to Moria and Clare behind him, "You two, we are preparing to land."

This was originally the goal of everyone, so it didn't take long for everyone to land on the base of this mobile city.

Mottled rust, all over the huge base made of a whole piece of steel, on this metal plate that is huge enough to hold a city, there are clearly visible signs of decay, covered with dense and weird cracks, even the old moss and The traces left by the mold can be clearly seen.

While admiring, Joshua also found that since he came to this base, the negative state of his body disappeared immediately. At this time, the soldier felt as if he had returned to the normal world, and he no longer needed to expend energy to deal with the chaotic forces outside. invasion.

But just as he was carefully observing his surroundings, looking for some possible clues, a loud voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I found a complete skeleton here, come and have a look."

Moria's voice was as loud as that of all the other dwarves, even though it was a little hoarse in old age, but it was enough to carry everywhere. Joshua naturally came quickly. Following the eyes of the old dwarf, he looked down, and saw a corpse that was almost reduced to white bones in the gap between the steel base and the ground.

Claire also came here. Looking at the skeleton, she used her magic power to transform into three phantom vines, carefully poked into the gap, took them out, and presented them to everyone.

Joshua squatted down and carefully observed the skeleton with no clothing left. Within two seconds, he roughly restored the image of the skeleton owner in his mind.

This is a race that looks very similar to humans, with similar facial features and bodies. The difference is that this race has one or more pairs of wings, and their bones are more fragile. As for the internal organs, according to the distribution of the bones, the positions and functions of the other party's organs should be quite different from those of humans. This can be seen from the fact that the other party's ribs are a plate bone instead of individual ribs.

"This skeleton is a bit like the Yarongyi people who were extinct due to drastic changes in the environment before the legendary era of glory."

Claire also saw a sense of familiarity: "In the Druid History Witness Hall in the far south, there are bone fossils of the Yarong winged people, and there are indeed similarities with this bone."

"But it doesn't help where we are right now."

Standing up slowly, Joshua frowned, and just as he was about to say to look for other peculiarities, Joshua's eyes suddenly froze.

He vaguely saw a few characters in the smudges next to the skeleton.

"etc."

He immediately put the skeleton aside, and then brushed the surface of the steel base with grudge, sweeping away the stains, rust marks, and all kinds of messy dirty things. Immediately, dozens of obviously incomparable The characters appeared in front of Joshua's eyes like this: "There are characters here... This is an iron plate that collapsed many years ago. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it."

Without further ado, Joshua simply wiped away all the dust and rust on the iron plate. Immediately, a small stone slab that was extremely clean and about three meters long and two meters wide appeared in front of everyone.

"I can't read the text."

After looking at it for a while, the old dwarf simply shook his head and said, "At first glance, it does have similarities with the Common Language, but it's actually completely different."

Claire hesitated for a moment, and read out one or two words: "Even though, Crystal Sun..." But it was only one or two words, and the elf also shook his head and said: "This language has a little bit of Astral Language. Similar traces, but only a trace."

Joshua naturally couldn't understand it at all. He was originally the son of an earl in a rural place—the Northland is indeed a rural place. Such a high-end thing as a different world language?

But if you don't understand it, you don't understand it - but he has a system!

"System, translate."

Following Joshua's order, a progress bar faithfully appeared before his eyes.

40%, 42%, 46%... 100%

The progress bar jumps rapidly, and after only a few minutes, the system prompts that the translation is successful.

"It's not a magic language, it's just a kind of common language. It's not difficult to translate it at all."

While looking at the translation results given by the system, Joshua read it out:

"Even if the shining sun of the sky is extinguished, we will use the elements as a furnace to recast the crystal sun."

"Even if everything in the world is decaying, we will use steel as the dome to reshape the land of vitality."

"The people of Calliss will never give up. Even if the world is destroyed, we will struggle to survive on the bones of the world."

In addition to the opening sentence, sentences similar to propaganda slogans, many words and sentences of praise were written in fragments on the steel plate at the back, and some general history of their history was written, which is similar to Joshua's secret letter from the old housekeeper. He knew about the same from the Internet, even if there was a slight discrepancy, he didn't care too much.

In general, after roughly viewing the iron plate, Joshua understood why the mobile fortress under him was built.

The Karlisians—let’s call them that, used to be a magical civilization race with extremely advanced alchemy. Their void spaceships can enter and leave the void of the astral world and travel to multiple worlds, and they can be regarded as a name in the multiverse. In theory, their great alchemy can destroy the entire surface of the earth, and can also reshape the world's ecological circle.

However, due to being attacked by a void evil god, the essence of their civilization was destroyed. In addition, the style of civilization was restrained, and the magic energy guns of pure energy could not cause great damage to the evil god's family - Rage God like grudges and live ammunition guns. The killing and injury caused them to be defeated again and again in the process of resistance. After the decisive battle on the plains, they couldn't even defend the mother world, so they could only retreat to the major mobile war fortresses to resist the tide-like army of the wild gods.

In the process of resistance, their alchemy has advanced by leaps and bounds, the degree of completion of the magic machine has become higher and higher, and the mobile fortress has also become larger and larger. To some extent, they can counterattack a little bit, but because the entire world of Karlis has been eroded by chaos , [Heavenly Fire] The sun is gradually extinguished, causing the earth to fall into a cold winter, everything decays, and can no longer survive, causing them to almost exterminate... At this time, someone proposed to create a new ecological circle in the artificial environment—— It is the source of this huge pyramid fortress under the feet of Joshua and others.

There is not much description of the subsequent history, but Joshua knew that this move did not lead them to success. In the end, when the Karlisians finally saw a glimmer of victory, the Void God's main body was finally able to stick out a stick. Tentacles, coming to this polluted world, completely crushed their resistance—the god machine is made of the god crystal, and it doesn't have self-will like Joshua's hotaru and Rin. How can it resist the call of the evil god? ? Naturally, they turned their backs on the front line.

"It seems that the giant crystal ball should be the 'Crystal Sun' in the inscription."

After reading all the words written on the slate, Joshua looked up at the huge crystal ball at the top of the pyramid with a faint golden light in the eyes of Moria and Clare looking at the creatures from other worlds, and he murmured He muttered to himself: "Based on the energy fluctuations I feel now, in its heyday, it might really be able to emit light similar to the sun... and the nature that Claire feels should be the artificial ecosystem in its body. .”

Behind the slate, there are some contents, but those contents don’t need to be mentioned—it’s nothing more than a road sign to guide the way. The location where Joshua and the others are now is the place where the Carlisians landed their airships and transported people. The slate is used to introduce the history of the fortress and guide the way.

Ignoring old dwarves and elves like 'how does he know? ’ ‘Is this man human? After waiting for the incredible eyes and Rin's adoring eyes, Joshua pointed to the crystal sun at the top of the pyramid in front of him, and said to everyone: "If you want to enter the inside of the pyramid, you must first go to the top sun and accept the scorching sun." For the purification of the radiance, make sure that there are no seeds of chaos in your body, and the entrance is also above."

"What are you waiting for."

Sighing deeply, Moria, who felt that she was really old, said, "Let's go."

So, everyone walked on the steel base and walked towards the steps of the pyramid.

Joshua could feel that the closer they were to this silver-white pyramid, the stronger the power of order would be, and the less negative effects the gray fog would have on them, and even a vaguely positive state emerged. But on the other hand, his vindictive energy was becoming less and less able to be released outside, and the order around him was strengthened to a terrifying level. Without the permission, he couldn't use it outside.

As a warrior, Moria is alright, but as a half-legal Druid, the face of the elf druid is a bit ugly, and Rin, who is a psionic creature in human form, is being carried on Joshua's back at this time. , with a weak face.

The speed of everyone's progress was not slow, and not long after, they came to the top of the pyramid.

Rin and Clare took the lead in following Joshua's instructions, and said their compliments in front of the huge crystal sun. Then, a few strands of golden light shot out from the crystal and sank into the bodies of the two of them, expelling a Big black mist. Afterwards, Claire felt that he could use spells again, and Rin regained his spirit.

The old dwarf and Joshua purified their bodies one after another, but the strange thing is that Joshua's body was completely clean without any filth from chaos, as if he was not in the same world as Moria and the others at all. so-so.

After all the staff were purified successfully, they came to the entrance recorded on the iron plate.

After trying for a while, the old dwarf faced the tightly closed steel door in front of him, and said strangely: "What's the matter, we obviously followed the instructions on the iron board, why didn't it work?"

"I sensed that there is actually an energy reaction inside."

Claire said in a low voice: "But it seems that something happened, the door didn't open."

"strangeness."

Moria tried several times, but couldn't open the mechanism. He was a little annoyed immediately: "What's going on here? Why is the mechanism of this group of Karlisians inferior to goblins? Although those dwarves' gadgets occasionally It will shock people's hearts and explode for a while, but it is still useful!"

He completely ignored the fact that he wasn't much taller.

"Master Moria, step aside for a while, let me try."

Joshua pushed the old dwarf aside, he took a deep breath, and then circulated the battle energy in his body, bursting out the limit of his body's strength!

【Power of God! 】

The shock wave overflowed with boundless vigor, and the blood rushed like a river. Under the astonished eyes of others, Joshua threw out both palms and hit the integrated steel door, and immediately rang twice like a big bell. There was a dull knocking sound like a movement, and when I looked closely, I saw that the soldier had already inserted his ten fingers into the crack of the door like a steel drill!

boom! Boom boom boom!

Muscles agitated, accompanied by harsh scraping sounds, this door was more than ten meters high and was close to the height of three or four floors. It could be used to enter and exit the huge alchemy machine. It was like this compared to it. open!

Joshua exerted strength one after another, his energy scattered, and there were even translucent air turbulences around his body, and accompanied by the whistle-like whistle and the piercing sound of metal twisting and deformation, it was originally like a mountain. The immovable steel door was 'open' open by Joshua at this moment with brute force!

"call."

Taking a breath, Joshua dissipated the explosive power in his body, and the red skin due to the blood flow returned to its original color. He looked with satisfaction at the door that he forcibly tore open in front of him and the entrance behind him. , nodded and said: "I say yes, what mechanism can maintain a perfect state for hundreds of thousands of years? Even if it can, it is impossible in this decaying world without fire."

He greeted the crowd who were almost watching monsters behind him: "Let's go, we need to buy time, and explore the inside of this pyramid as soon as possible... It is best to find some supplies."

Pushing a book, the God of Dharma descends, everyone must have heard of this book, after all, the hand speed of updating 200,000 words in 15 days is unmatched by me, a scumbag with 120,000 words in 30 days...
