Soul of Burning Steel

Although Joshua really wanted to explore one side of the gate of time and space and have a good adventure, it was obvious that now was not the perfect time to explore.

Now, they are in the depths of the volcano, and they don't carry too many supplies and equipment, they only carry some equipment that is helpful for exploration. Generally speaking, they are prepared, but they are not on the right track.

Now, the high temperature that could cause the human body to spontaneously combust has gradually decreased to the barely tolerable point where it can dry people out, and Hei's huge body is swimming in the lava, the core of his chest is shining with golden light, absorbing the energy in the lava. energy.

Its body rolled, setting off fiery waves in the vast golden-red sea, and slapping on the black lava stone on which Joshua's men stood.

The members of the exploration team have taken out a lot of equipment and recorded all the scenes and environmental information here, but they don't understand the meaning of the space-time gate above their heads, let alone what the world behind it represents. Looking at Joshua complicatedly, as a golden peak paladin, he can also feel that the opposite world does not have the extremely strong atmosphere of chaos like the Plaguelands.

This meant that that world might still be intact, it hadn't been corrupted by evil gods, and it was 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 soldier in a low voice: "You should know, there is a new world behind it!"

A brand new world with infinite possibilities and infinite future!

"Wait for the moment, and then explore when you're ready."

Joshua did not hesitate, and quickly replied in a peaceful voice: "Plan the development of the territory, squeeze time out of the schedule, and then come over."

The words were extremely calm and dry, without any other emotions such as excitement or joy. The paladin was stunned for a while after hearing this, and did not know how to reply.

He believed that the fighter on the opposite side must know how great a resource a complete world is, but this kind of attitude... the other side is really too calm! Even he, an ascetic paladin with almost no desires, couldn't help being 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 soldier's voice appeared again, and he said with a smile: "You think I want to monopolize this world? To make enemies with the Church of the Seven Gods for this? Stop making trouble, I can't be so stupid."

Speaking of this, Joshua shook his head: "Paladin, you really should learn how to control your expressions and emotions, otherwise, everyone can see what you are thinking. This expression is so easy to understand. In this regard, you are so naive and cute.”

Loranda was so choked by this passage that she couldn't speak a word. In annoyance, she could only stare at Joshua with her blue eyes to see what else he could say.

However, Joshua changed his style and began to talk about other things: "Although it is naive, I will still explain it to you-like this kind of world, although it seems extremely cherished now, it is probably only one or two years old. After the next year, it will be tasteless that no one will care about."

When the tide of demons descends and the demons revive, countless channels of time and space will be opened at will, connecting the infinite world as one, especially in the starry sky, the [Desolate Ancient Sacrifice Ground Connecting All Realms] suspended in the star realm, you know, This is not a random name.

That is the transfer station of all worlds that truly connects all worlds.

But Lolanda couldn't understand it at all—in fact, few people in this world could understand what Joshua said. calm down.

——The soldier in front of me, Joshua, is just like his adoptive father. He knows everything, at least most of the information, but he always uses some unclear words to explain it, which makes people feel itchy, but even Don't even know where to start asking.

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 at the lava lake that had calmed down, then turned his head, and said to all members of the exploration team and Loranda: "Now, the most important issue here has been dealt with, and why so many elements have been deposited? Knowing the reason, the next problem cannot be solved by the simple equipment now."

Having said that, he looked back at Lolanda, and said softly: "Just a few of us can't do anything right now. Even if we enter it, we will come back soon. Why don't we think about it later when we are fully prepared?" Go inside and explore."

This sentence is very true. Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the truth. Joshua was able to say this sentence out of curiosity, it was indeed after serious thinking.

Loranda also had to admit that what he said was correct. Now, to forcibly explore the time-space gate, there is nothing they can do except satisfy their curiosity. Going back now is their only choice now.

Indeed—do you want to set off now to explore another world?

They don't know the situation on the other side yet, and they don't know what kind of environment there is. Although they don't feel the breath of chaos, they don't feel the breath of unusual intimacy. Although humans are likely to be able to survive on the other side, but There is a greater possibility that it cannot, after all, as long as the environment is slightly different, it will cause a huge deviation.

Moreover, with their numbers, materials, and preparations for exploration, no matter which aspect is 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 Lolanda was thinking, Joshua was giving the last few instructions.

"Hei, you stay here and guard the gate of time and space."

The warrior turned his head to look at the half-dragon warhorse who was churning the viscous magma happily in the lava, and then decisively issued such an order: "Keep watch around, don't let any beings in or out, this is your home field, as long as you don't You must be able to deal with monsters of Jiyi's level."

"Roar!"

Hearing his master's order, the half-dragon warhorse responded with a loud roar.

"Keep your voice down, silly dragon!"

The violent sound waves oscillated the elements and the rock wall, causing a lot of rock dust to fall from the top of the cavity, which made Joshua's expression change. If the cave collapsed, he would be able to protect everyone, but time and space If the door is buried, it will be a big trouble. You must know that this place is under the volcano. If the road is really blocked, it will undoubtedly be extremely troublesome to find a good location to dig a passage.

"Woooo..."

Hei seemed to be aware of his problem. Hei gave a low and long moan, then dived into the lava as if ashamed, and hid his body. This scene made Joshua, who was a little angry at first, dumbfounded, and then couldn't help but He laughed: "...but he's really smarter, he can be an ostrich, and he's afraid of my reprimand."

In any case, under the whispers and admiration of the crowd, this exploration came to an end in shock and admiration, threatening the four northern territories, and it is very likely that the mysterious area of ​​the volcanic eruption will be deciphered by Joshua, although Accidentally discovered the space-time gate, but the current preparations are not sufficient, so wait for the next exploration for the time being.

Hei was simply left in the lava pool. According to the list of Hei in the system, Joshua found that after having enough energy sources, this guy didn't need to eat anymore. Hei was just soaked in the high-temperature lava. Make this half-dragon full of energy, and even be able to continuously gain strength.

It is indeed a good place. The soldier nodded, thinking with some relief.

The Heilong is a giant dragon known as destruction and creation, and it is a true embodiment of the concept of "fire in water". Lava is its home field, and it is not surprising that Hei has inherited its bloodline and has the ability to live in it.

After instructing Hei Yan to guard the gate of time and space again, not to let the things on the opposite side come over, and not to let the things from this side in, Joshua brought Ying, Rin, and others back to the Black Forest Fortress.

"As a result, we did not encounter any enemies this time."

Sitting on the seat in the meeting room of the central tower in the Black Forest Fortress, Ying said with some regret to the boy beside her that the silver-haired girl was wearing a rare long-sleeved shirt and trousers today, and her hair was also tied into a ponytail. With a sassy heroic spirit, she half-lyed on the table, pressed her hands on the sides of her slender neck, and said helplessly: "The chances of fighting have become less and less recently, so boring..."

"Compared to a year ago, it's just too mediocre recently!!"

"That's normal."

But before Joshua, who was standing by the window, could reply, Rin, who was sitting aside with his hands on his head in a daze, blinked and quickly replied: "Fighting is not something to look forward to—even if you want to fight, It must also be under our control, and it must not bring unexpected losses. As for last year... the scientific name is Troubled Autumn, although it can satisfy your wishes, it is not a good thing for the master's territory. You can't have such thoughts .”

"I'm not just talking..."

Being blocked by her brother's rationale and unable to speak, Ying secretly looked up at the back of Joshua's head who had been silent all this time, and after realizing that her master had no intention of participating in this topic, she let out a sigh of relief.

But at this time, Joshua was thinking about a question that had nothing to do with any of the previous topics.

"Recently, Ying and Rin have become more and more humane, more like human beings, not weapons, just like the old housekeeper."

Although he looked out the window, his mind was churning with thoughts: "It seems that the magic machines will also acquire human-like thinking logic through learning... This is progress."

He was a little relieved, as if watching the children growing up.

Moreover, the cultural lessons that have been taught for many days are indeed effective, and they need to be strengthened in the future.

He thought about it like this again, and then for some reason, the thoughts in his mind kept deflecting until he reached another problem that he hadn't paid attention to.

"Speaking of which... In the case of Hei, is it a male or a female?"
