Soul of Burning Steel

"Mr. Barbarossa?"

Seeing the tall sorcerer walking slowly, Joshua was a little curious: "Why are you here?"

The person who appeared in front of the warrior was none other than Barbarossa, chief of the Guantian White Tower and master of the elements, and Joshua also realized after a brief moment of curiosity that the other person was not the real body, but the elemental incarnation of a nearly normal person fact.

This is very common. Legendary strongmen with strong fighting power rarely wander around in their real bodies. Juggernauts who control holy swords are a special case. Because of their excessive strength, simple going out may cause various visions, so going out Time is basically an avatar, and Barnir and William's bodies are not very threatening, so they can travel and adventure around the world as they please.

"After all, I am the leader of the world's largest mage organization... It's a long story, Earl Radcliffe. It's time to say hello, but because the matter is too important, I can only say hello later."

In response to Joshua's question, Barbarossa shook his head slightly. The mage's expression was heavy and there was a hint of a wry smile at seeing something absurd. What happened was indeed unusual, so he followed the other party to the crystal cabin in the center of the laboratory. Loud noises can be heard.

"Impossible... This completely violates the essence of magic!"

"You're wrong, it's actually not a violation, but...it's even more incredible than a violation, I'd rather it be a violation..."

"Test it again? I still don't believe it!"

"Joshua is here, he is an expert in this field, let him try."

At this time, the two legendary mages were having a heated discussion, omitting all kinds of complicated terms, special magical terms, and various local dialects with a Xishan accent, the general meaning is this .

And when Joshua came to the side, they turned their heads and greeted them with great enthusiasm: "You are here? Joshua, Barbarossa, hurry up, I need your help with something!"

What on earth... could make the three legendary powerhouses lose their composure and seriousness? And these are three legendary spellcasters. In terms of calmness and indifference, no one in this world should be able to surpass them.

Joshua was very puzzled. Of course, he was not a nonsense person. At the kind invitation of the other party, the soldier came to the crystal cabin. He looked into the cabin and looked at the 'thing' that even the legend was amazed by.

Then, Joshua saw a very energetic...pigeon walking in the cabin with its head held high.

White dove.

Joshua was stunned for a moment - he hadn't used the power of steel to see through before, so at this moment, he could see the creature behind the white crystal barrier, which was a pure white pigeon that could be said to be a bit fat. This pigeon was walking in the crystal cabin, making a rhythmic 'coo' sound from time to time. The red bean eyes were quite sharp, and it could be seen that it was in good spirits.

"That's why you interrupted my practice and called me out of the lord's mansion?"

Joshua clicked his tongue, and his expression became a little strange: "A fat pigeon that barely fills the teeth? You even came here from the East China Sea through time and space—"

"Don't worry about complaining, Joshua, can you use the force of steel to detect the detailed life data of this pigeon?"

Before Joshua could complain, Barbarossa spoke first. This hairless mage seemed to know something more than a warrior. The master of elements stared at the pigeon with a rather rare nervous look, and said softly in his mouth. He muttered to himself: "Damn it, it's actually true, how could it be...it's not magic at all!"

Both Barnir and William also echoed Barbarossa's opinion, so no matter how incredible Joshua thought it was, he could only be sure that this pigeon was indeed the target of their three legendary mages. Perceived to detect the detailed life data of the pigeon in front of him - I saw the silver light emanating from the palm of Joshua's outstretched right hand, covering the top of the pigeon's head like a beam of light, fixing it in place, scanning back and forth in detail.

After three seconds, Joshua blinked and said, "It's normal."

"An ordinary Bavarian white pigeon, with a body length of 17 centimeters, is in good health and has a lot of meat. It should taste good when roasted."

The soldier continued to scan, and then said casually: "There is no genetic disease, no bacteria... Hey, it's interesting, this pigeon is very pure, there are no germs or dirt on it, have you cleaned it?"

"Is there any more information?"

Listening carefully to the information in Joshua's mouth, both Barbarossa and Barnier William were very nervous. When they heard that the pigeon's information was normal, the three of them looked at each other in disbelief. Barney Er immediately asked aloud, "I mean, is it real life? How is it different from a normal pigeon?"

"What real life..."

This time it was Joshua's turn to be a little confused: "Isn't this just an ordinary white pigeon? Ah, the wings are a bit short, so it might be difficult to fly, but you probably didn't intend to let it grow so fat. It delivers."

"...Joshua couldn't scan it out either, so it seems certain."

Hearing that the soldiers seemed to be unable to get more information, William couldn't help but shook his head, and he sighed: "The worst result has come... From now on, the White Tower of Guantian and the Imperial Royal Mages Association—no, it should be said , all mage organizations on the Mycroft continent must be prepared to deal with the impact."

And Barbarossa was silent at this time, but seeing the throbbing blood vessels on the top of his head, and the eyes that could almost be said to be glaring at the pigeon, one could know that the legendary powerhouse was not at peace.

You know, the last time the masters of the elements greeted the invasion of the strong from another world and suppressed the steel python, none of the element masters showed such an expression.

"What are you talking about?"

Joshua was not in a hurry about the current situation in the cloudy mountains and fog. He withdrew the beam of light in his hand, and then touched his chin in doubt—there are not many things that can make Legendary question his three views. What was it that came out, and he asked, "Although I didn't feel anything wrong—but what happened to this pigeon? Why are you so serious, it looks like an evil god is about to descend."

"Evil God? That's just a natural disaster. Although it is extremely powerful, at most it is a natural disaster that we cannot defeat and have to flee or die in battle. It..."

For Joshua's words, Barbarossa originally wanted to explain, but in the end, he just showed a wry smile, and Barnier took over the conversation: "And this pigeon... no, it's more like magic, it's really broken." All the truths that we have believed in in the past.”

"It's time for you to see the truth, Joshua." At this point, Barnir couldn't help shaking his head heavily, and he whispered to William beside him, "Remove the 'transformation' magic."

The next moment, William clapped his hands, and just after a certain magic was released with a burst of mental fluctuations, in front of Joshua's eyes, the bird was originally very normal, with no other special features except a little fatter and shorter wings. The Bavarian white pigeon at the place turned into a stone without a sound.

a rock.

8 centimeters long, 3 centimeters wide, and 2 centimeters high, ordinary limestone can be seen everywhere on the mainland, so that someone pointed to the stone on the ground and asked loudly, 'What is this? ’, people who heard this inquiry would scratch their heads in doubt and say, ‘There is nothing here. ’ to the point of the stone.

"OMG……"

This time, it was the soldier's turn to be shocked. Even with Joshua's concentration, he couldn't calmly deal with it. The soldier couldn't help but gasped: "Is this magic? When did you develop something of this level? !"

"No...we don't know, we don't even know if he...is it magic or not..."

Rubbing his temples, Barnier forcibly held back the foul language that was about to swear, and said in a tone that had begun to be somewhat depressed: "That's why we were shocked."

Under the heavy narration of the two legendary mages, Joshua knew the whole story.

About four days ago, the major mage academies in the eastern plain ushered in a new round of summer enrollment. Special inspection instructors will patrol around the country, looking for valuable and talented mage seeds to be accepted into the academies. This is the practice in the Eastern Plains. Of course, it does not mean that only those who are selected can enter the college. In fact, every college has examination rooms in various places. Anyone who thinks he is talented or plans to challenge himself Can enter it, show their talents, in order to be selected by the mentor.

And this happened in the test room of the Guantian White Tower in a small town... It was a dreary cloudy day, accompanied by scattered light rain, and the humid air was filled with the unique earthy smell of the countryside. In such an environment, A seemingly ordinary eleven-year-old boy came to the examination table accompanied by his parents. He chose to cast some kind of innate magic in order to enter the Warlock Department of the White Tower of Guantian. For the sake of good magic power fluctuations, this request was allowed.

And the next moment, the kid from the northern Bavarian hills of the Eastern Plains easily turned a stone in his hand into a white dove that could fly and coo, as if it was a real life.

Everything is as simple as breathing, but this shocking fact almost made the mentor stop breathing in shock.

"In fairy tales, those witches who live deep in forests and lakes have all kinds of strange abilities, such as exquisite alchemy, incomparably profound, accurate to the day's curse onset time, youthful potion, and turning people into animal witchcraft."

William stared at the stones in the crystal cabin, and the handsome bard said in a rather dreamy tone: "A witch is a demonized image of a magician in the eyes of ordinary people in ancient times. The wizard's tower is the wizard's tower. Monsters and giant statues are tamed monsters and alchemists, most of her abilities are normal, any mage can do it... only this."

"Turning pumpkins into carriages, turning people or inanimate things into animals... This is not something that can be done by magic, Joshua, this is something that only happens in dreams."

"Needless to say, I know better than you."

Raising his hand, Joshua stopped William and Barbarossa who wanted to continue talking. He frowned and stared at the stone in front of him, as if he wanted to see through this plain limestone—but he It failed in the end, he wanted to see that it was a bad joke, but in the end he had to confirm that it was the truth.

A seemingly unremarkable 'fact' that can shake the truth and completely destroy the existing magic system.

Bringing life to inanimate matter? This does not sound difficult, whether it is Barnir, who often summons rune puppets to help with dry goods, or any mage who is proficient in the elemental system, can do similar things. They can call elements, send puppets, and incarnate themselves Tens of thousands—even Joshua can do similar things. He once used authority as the source to create the unprecedented steel element of 'First Name'.

But this kind of advanced magic is fundamentally different from turning a stone into a bird.

Giving life to elements is actually to create a self-circulation of energy, and then bless this cycle with the most basic self-will, that is, the simplest artificial soul. With energy circulation and self-will, then even invisible energy There can also be life-like responses, and this is the truth of creating elemental life, a kind of energy robot. As far as the essence of the steel element is concerned, it is not too complicated. The authority from the world has constructed a brand new energy cycle from scratch and fused it with steel. Joshua's power has endowed it with will and power. Wisdom is the gathering of spirits. In a sense, it is the natural intelligence placed on a mechanical body.

These are spells that seem miraculous but actually have a reason to follow. Even though it is more complicated, no one will be surprised by it... But it is different to turn a stone into a bird.

"The change of particles, from inorganic matter to organic matter, the conversion of mass... endow spirituality, endow animality, endow muscles and even genetic instincts... how is this possible?"

Joshua muttered to himself, he was still speaking various words, and the warrior's eyes were filled with unbelievable shock - only the truly strong would know the difficulty of 'transformation', turning pebbles into gold , Turning wood into bread, these are all difficult skills that go deep into the depths of elementary particles, requiring a subtle spirit, keen observation and precise control, even legends may not be everyone - and now How could a child who walked out of a ravine be able to use the unbelievable magic of turning inorganic matter into a conscious life?

"This is not a special case—as you can see, William and I have also learned the magic of turning inanimate matter into pigeons, but it is not so much learned as it is just learned how to use it. Did not understand its spell-casting principle!"

Seeing that Joshua was in the same shock as they were back then, Barnir coughed, and then slowly said: "Originally, we mages use magic to understand all the runes in this spell. What kind of energy can each rune arouse, and then arrange and combine them one by one, and finally write a formed spell—just like we program information terminals recently, we must understand what each command can do, and be accurate Only by writing it can the entity of the spell be constructed."

"But now... to use this transfiguration, I just need to pay the magic power, and... then I don't know what happened, anyway, it succeeded."

In Barnir's voice that seemed to be complaining, William interjected: "How to put it—it's like a magic scroll. We mages cast spells in real time, and we need to use the spirit to combine runes and attract energy, and the users of magic scrolls only need It’s enough to activate it, they don’t need to know how to make scrolls, how to write runes, they only need to touch it lightly with their spirit, pay a little bit of magic power, and then it’s done.”

"It's the same as those alchemy guns and cannons of the dwarves." Barbarossa immediately said in a dull tone: "Press the trigger, press the button-users don't need to know how to make cannons, they only need to know how to use them, just like There is a great existence that has already prepared all channels for us to use this magic, just waiting for us to fill up the 'ammunition' of magic power."

"This is a technology black box." Joshua also said in a deep voice, "or, 'Magic Black Box'!"

The four legendary powerhouses fell into the same shock and confusion, they said in unison: "What's going on?!"

"A fairytale spell coming to life...it's frightening to be honest."

Even in the face of the many legendary monsters attacking in the void, Barnier, who faced the dragon kings in the Kronos world, took a deep breath. He looked at the cabin above his head. The legendary mage who first discovered this matter His eyes pierced through the barriers of the world, looking towards the void, his voice was a little trembling: "This is not a special case, Joshua, William, Barbarossa, I have traveled to the void before, and I have used it in the void and other lifeless worlds. This spell—I even went to the world of Chronos to cast it, and it worked."

No one knows the meaning behind this incident better than anyone else. Whether it is Joshua or William, Barbarossa’s eyes have changed—they who understand the existence of the magic net originally thought so, thinking that this is probably the beginning of the last era. The 'guns' designed by those powerful gods and strong men are just an ordinary warlock kid who found this long-sealed 'weapon'...but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Yes, that's right, just as you think."

Looking around at everyone's expressions, the rune master, the old mage Barnir nodded slowly and heavily: "This is not the unique magic net spell inscribed in the Mycroft world by the predecessors of the Glorious Era. It works in the Metaverse...meaning, if this is a mutation—"

"Then, this must be a mutation that affects the entire multiverse!"
