Soul of Burning Steel

Viola Aeolus, a young female elf born and raised in the province of Babel, is a doctor by profession. Now, she is paralyzed at home, enjoying the rare vacation brought by the carnival.

"Mother tree, even if the end of the world comes, don't try to pull me out..."

Covering her delicate face with a quilt, leaving only her long green hair scattered on the pillow, the young female doctor moaned comfortably: "Oh my God, my bed and quilt, what in this world is so beautiful? There will be such a perfect invention!"

As she spoke, she wrapped the quilt around her body, wrapped herself into a cylinder, and then happily rolled back and forth on the bed a few times.

Ninety-eight percent of the people in the Gulf Federation are all kinds of elves, of which green-haired forest elves and silver-haired underground elves account for 60%, while other red-haired, blue-haired, black-haired, etc. Kinds of elves accounted for 38%, and the remaining 2% were all kinds of strange half-breed half-elves. They had the blood of other races in their bodies, but now there is no evidence of the existence of those races. It's one of the great mysteries of biology.

"Our ancestors must have lived with intelligent life of many other races, which can be seen from the many foreign elements in our culture..." This kind of argument has a considerable market in academic circles.

A few days ago, Viola was so tired because she participated in a seminar on blood vessel research. Today is a rare holiday. In order to ensure the quality of her rest, the young doctor started the silent method at home. After a while, and after tossing on the bed to his heart's content, he took his own comfortable quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

Naturally, she couldn't hear the repeated emergency announcements in the city.

"There are still fifteen minutes before the arrival of the volcanic dragon. Please evacuate the remaining people as soon as possible with the help of the federal army. Repeat, the distance..."

The announcement was repeated over and over again, and most of the people have already gone to temporary shelters or fortresses outside the city under the protection of the army. Of course, there are a small number of diehards who do not believe this, and even if they are There are also villains and hooligans among the elves. They took advantage of this time when no one was around to steal wantonly. Although they were discovered and arrested by almost countless patrolling personnel who were not there, some of them were still in the city.

Guys like Viola who are still sound asleep are naturally one of the people who stayed behind.

There are still ten minutes left in the announcement, and a considerable part of the people on the street have not yet evacuated. After all, it is a big city with a population of one million. Two hours is really too short. On the street, some troops have already retreated with the people. Fully armored troops began to move in.

With the help of magic items, the army temporarily built many fortresses on the streets, and armored vehicles also drove into the city. The heavy tracks rolled out obvious traces on the beautiful trails. The power in it is extracted and turned into a powerful driving force.

five minutes.

I can already see the smoke column rising from the distance, all kinds of animals with keen senses—for example, the animal companions of the elves, mice and various birds are walking back and forth restlessly, and even rushing out of their nests. Indeed, many diehards were frightened. Seeing the smoke and dust reaching the sky, they quickly prepared to flee, but by this time, it was already too late.

zero.

The federal army was almost ready for the corresponding preparations, but at this moment, the smoke column came from afar, advancing rapidly, and reached the outside of the city.

boom!

The sound of huge footsteps shook the ground, the existence in the dust and mist slowed down its steps, and a huge figure appeared from the smoke.

With a black carapace wrapped around a body of fire elemental armor, Ryoma looked up at this city without walls, and let out a low cry of curiosity.

It sensed that there were a lot of life forms here, so it came here to find the way—anyway, it must be right to go to crowded places when you get lost, and the master seems to have said this too?

But when Ling Hei was a little strange, most of the people were staying away from the city, which made Ryoma a little confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

Because almost everyone in Moldavia knew the lord's mount, no one would be afraid of it, which caused Ryoma to have no idea that the other party's withdrawal was because of him.

"The target has reached the outskirts of the city!"

In the temporary headquarters in the city, all kinds of information are transferred here, and most of the orders are also issued here. A person who looks like a commander is facing the communication circle, assigning tasks to all the troops in the city: "Listen, your task is not to fight this monster, but to use the buildings and fortresses in the city to slow down the opponent's progress as much as possible and ensure the safety of the people!"

But an exclamation interrupted him.

"Target slowed down, it's...observing? It's walking around the city, observing our buildings!"

A correspondent looked in shock at the scene displayed on the light curtain in front of him—amidst the huge vibrations, a huge dragon-shaped behemoth was walking around the city like a walk, and its golden pupils were full of curiosity.

"Could it be that the target really has wisdom?"

"Judging from the current actions, the possibility is very high!"

Not to mention the command room, in the Federal Technology Department, the researchers who are observing in real time have started a heated discussion. As a brand new species, the volcano dragon has some characteristics of the "dragon" in the fairy myths and legends. It is attractive enough, not to mention that it may also have intelligence and be able to communicate.

Hei certainly didn't know that there were so many people watching it at this time, analyzing every deep meaning in its actions, but in fact, it was just looking for a way.

After looking around for a while, it finally found a road. Ryoma nodded in a humane manner, then walked quickly over it and entered the city.

Due to its large body, Joshua would give it a good warning every time it entered the city before, telling it not to take the trails casually, so as not to knock down the house, but when it came to this strange place, Hei still maintained this good habit. Habit.

The avenues of the elf city are not made of hard rock, but some kind of soft clay bricks similar to asphalt. Because of this, when an armored vehicle enters the city, it will leave track marks on the road, and Hei's weight is far greater than that of an armored vehicle, and every step he takes will leave footprints on the street, rumbling and rumbling.

In order not to damage the surrounding buildings, Ryoma took the initiative to remove the fire element shield that was supporting his body. This action made the high-level federal army who had planned to order an attack startled. They immediately stopped the troops in the city that were preparing to attack and fell into a wait-and-see situation. state.

"The target's intelligence is obviously very high. It will even choose to take the avenue in order not to destroy the building, and take the initiative to remove the fire elemental shield in order not to affect the surrounding environment."

A researcher rubbed his forehead and said puzzledly: "But why? How does it know what our building is? It didn't stop when it passed through hills and forests before."

"Target has definitely seen artifacts, and has been taught some common sense!"

Another biologist spoke aggressively, he seemed very sure: "The action pattern of the target is very similar to that of domesticated pets or mounts. You see, although it is very curious about the style of the surrounding buildings, in order not to destroy the surrounding buildings, Still didn't go up the trail to look around! Ordinary wild animals don't have such thoughts, not even house cats have such self-control."

And just as the atmosphere of the discussion became more and more heated, a cold male voice came out from the communication line, it was the Minister of the Military Department.

"I don't care about this at all, everyone, you are the smartest group of people in the alliance, who can tell me now, can we negotiate with this monster... Behemoth? Since it is intelligent, can we let it go away? Our city is farther away? So as not to let us suffer losses for nothing."

"...we can try a little bit."

And Viola, who was still on the bed, felt a huge shock.

She felt that her hut was trembling, like an earthquake, and woke up painfully from sleep. The female doctor opened her eyes, sat up in a daze, and stretched herself. She said impatiently To himself: "A celebration is a celebration, why make such a big noise..."

boom!

A dragon claw wrapped in a black carapace was shot outside the window of Viola's hut, and the young green-haired elf who was stretching looked at this scene with a confused face. Then the other dragon claw was put down and raised, and just like that, with the roar of the Earthquake Office, it passed outside her window.

After a while, the vibration also went away.

"..."

Rubbing her eyes fiercely, Viola felt a chill rise from her spine and rush into her brain. The fully awake female elf immediately wrapped herself in the quilt and rolled on the edge of the bed.

Faintly, a dull voice could be heard: "It's all a dream! You can't lie to me! It's all a dream!"

Hei was still walking slowly in the city. He noticed that the style of this city was completely different from the city he often visited. Fountains, gardens, and various small landscapes and statues, it needs to be walked carefully so as not to damage these delicate and small things.

And at this time, it suddenly discovered that there were many lives on the street not far away, and they did not leave.

Ryoma simply changed direction and walked towards there.

On the other side of the street, countless magic vehicles were blocked on the road, and it took a long time to move a little.

There was a car accident on the road ahead. Although the federal army was dealing with it urgently, the road surface was already blocked by the damage caused by the explosion and abandoned vehicles. drive slowly.

"My God! That monster is here!"

A scream came from a car that noticed the huge figure of Ryoma, and the people in the surrounding cars naturally also noticed it. The panicked shouts immediately spread, and many people simply abandoned the car and fled. .

A couple were sitting in the car with their baby papers. The father was impatiently honking the horn, while the mother was holding her six or seven-year-old son, looking around in panic.

But when the screams came, they also found the huge black shadow that was approaching. The instinctive fear made the two of them tremble. Like the others, they immediately abandoned the car and fled. The father carried all the luggage on his back. , while the mother holds her son.

But it was too late. Although Ryoma's pace was slow, it was still a giant beast more than ten meters high. It took one step at a speed equal to the speed of ordinary people running desperately, not to mention that the street was blocked by many magic cars, so it couldn't run at all. how fast.

Because she was too nervous, the mother accidentally fell down. Seeing this, the father immediately dropped his luggage and came back to help his wife and children. But at this time, a black shadow enveloped their position, trembling Looking up, the two saw a pair of huge golden longan slowly approaching.

—Are we going to die here today?

Fear came from the bottom of their hearts. They held the child, hugged each other desperately, and waited for the death to come. But suddenly, the couple noticed that their child had broken free from their hands. The giant looked at each other.

Strange to say, this black-haired elf boy was not afraid of Ryoma, he just opened his emerald green eyes and looked at Ryoma very curiously.

"It's so big... There is such a big horse... It looks very handsome, and it's different from ordinary horses."

He muttered to himself: "Why are Mom and Dad so scared, and it doesn't have any malicious intentions." Thinking this way, the boy even raised his hand and waved at Ryoma.

And Hei also opened his eyes wide, looking at the little boy in front of him.

I don't know why, when everyone sees him, they will scream and run away inexplicably. Since he has been interacting with the people of Moldavia all the time, it is impossible for Black to realize that the other party is afraid of him. This makes people who want to ask for directions Ryoma is very sorry.

But now, there are more than a dozen people who ran away without seeing him, but stayed - of course Hei couldn't tell how many of them couldn't run because they were so frightened that their legs softened - and there were three people who left. I am so close, even a child will wave and say hello to it.

This is really good, finally met a normal person.

Seeing the black hair and emerald green eyes, Hei immediately thought of the two people who had been taking care of it before its blood awakened. The scene of Rin and Ying grooming and cleaning it passed before its eyes, making the giant beast His eyes became softer.

It gave a low chirp, as if to say hello.

At this time, the eyes of the high-level military officers in the headquarters and research institutes, as well as various researchers were about to burst out.

"What?!"

"This is impossible!"

"The mother tree is on top, this..."

Through the magic detection equipment just installed in the city, they witnessed the scene of the interaction between Hei and the elf boy, which made everyone feel unbelievable and unbelievable.

"The target...is very close to humans!"

"The target intelligence is close to human beings!"

"Is it even going to actively communicate?"

"It's actually... not that kind of ferocious beast?"

The Minister of the Military Department was also watching this scene, and he suddenly began to feel a little thankful that the previous interception mission was unsuccessful: "Okay... that's great, it's a good chance that it didn't succeed..."

For a while, he couldn't say anything more: "It's fine if we don't fight against this terrible creature...It's fine if there is a possibility of peaceful negotiation..."

After being silent for a while, most of the researchers began to discuss with each other crazily, because it was initially determined that this giant beast did not have any malice towards the elves, and they needed to make follow-up countermeasures as soon as possible. How to negotiate with the other party is the next step. The top priority of action.

In the office of the airship, the commander-in-chief was also watching this scene with director Luo La. The two of them also opened their eyes wide and their faces were full of shock.

"...a creature capable of setting off a volcanic eruption is actually so... kind?"

Seeing the other party's angry long chants with his own eyes, it caused the fire elements within hundreds of meters to run wildly, and the red-haired elf who caused a violent explosion rubbed his forehead tiredly. Unbelievable...the world is amazing."

On the side, Laura shook her head and said seriously: "Although the volcano dragon has the ability to detonate the volcano, it does not prove that it detonated the volcano. The information left by the investigation team shows that they only saw the dragon inhabiting the volcano. Deep within the volcano, it seems to be sleeping—perhaps the eruption awakened the dragon?"

Although it was not the case, he was close to the truth—because the Sigma volcano was on the verge of eruption, the extremely dense elements caused the distortion of the time-space gate... and the black that was sleeping was inexplicably teleported to the vicinity of the volcano.

Now, Hei is having fun with the little elf boy. He simply bent his legs and bent down, letting this brave—or heartless little boy climb onto its dragon claws, while he was gentle. Staring at each other.

"It's so big...and your paws are so hot!"

Ignoring the panicked cries of his parents, the little boy happily sat on Hei's paw, but he was a little surprised to find that his new big friend didn't respond with a low beep like before.

The body vibrated slightly, and the dragon horse raised its head and looked towards the sky. Because of its gaze, all the detection circles also turned over and looked towards the sky.

And time seems to stop here——

A little light is descending from the distant sky, a red light suddenly appeared in the blue sky, and the expressions of the high-ranking military personnel who were observing the light curtain, the researchers, the commander-in-chief and others all changed in unison. I could clearly see that the sky was turning purple due to the flames, and behind the flames, there seemed to be a huge magic circle composed of ten huge light wheels. The diameter of each light wheel was ten. Calculated by 10,000 meters, this is still because it is too far away to estimate the data obtained in detail.

"The alien monsters in those days—"

The commander-in-chief was the first to react. He slapped the table angrily, causing the light curtain to tremble: "This place appears at this time!"

"Didn't they only land in no man's land and never directly attack the city!"

The light wheel rotates slowly, and every time it rotates, it has to sweep across a large area of ​​the sky, and the red light is getting bigger and bigger, and now it can be seen clearly that it is a piece of strange huge meteorites, they come from outside the sky, and they are about to descend this world.

Gently put down the boy on his paws, Hei stood up, looking at the sky seriously, his eyes gradually filled with terrifying majesty.

Ryoma, who has been washed by Joshua's power of order many times and fought with him against the chaotic black tide, can be 100% sure.

That is the breath of chaos.

Human beings in this book refer specifically to their own race. In the language of elves, human beings are other words, just as in the language of dwarves, dwarves are human beings, and elves and human are other words.

I had already finished writing this morning, and then added a little more, and had a meal, and finally made up 5,000 words and sent them together... a little late.
