Chapter 276 Hei, You Are Finished! No One in Heaven and Earth Can Save You!
"you say."
Standing in a corner of the hall outside the secret vault of the palace, a silver-haired girl turned her head and said to her younger brother in confusion, "What will our future be like?"
"Even if you ask me..."
After being silent for a while, the black-haired boy replied lightly: "I don't know either."
——This conversation happened before Joshua came out of the secret vault.
Pushing back her shoulder-length black hair, Rin certainly knew what her older sister was thinking right now.
It is nothing more than the discovery that as the master becomes stronger and stronger, they are less and less used as weapons.
This is indeed a very bad thing, even he has to admit it, the black-haired boy already knew that his master, the warrior named Joshua, had reached the point where every gesture was a murder weapon, he You can tear steel with your bare hands, wrestle with demons, even giant dragons can only bow down.
His body is armor, his fingers are spears, his fists are hammers, and his palms are knives.
This kind of existence uses weapons, most of the time just because they grabbed a handful... Maybe there is also the emotion of taking care of himself and his sister. Rin also knows that the master still cares about their feelings.
But in any case, if a weapon is reduced to the point of "just for use", it is no different from being left behind, and its own meaning is lost, which is why Ying feels distressed.
However, Rin felt the same, but had a different opinion.
"It doesn't matter what the future holds."
The black-haired boy stared at his elder sister's green pupils, and said seriously: "As long as you can follow the master, is there any difference between being a magic machine or a human being?"
He chuckled and said, "Master has always treated us as human beings. There is no need to struggle with one identity."
"But we were made, created, just to fight, so that the master can fight better!"
The silver-haired girl was still very conflicted. She lowered her head and looked at her white hands, which were covered with a faint layer of fluorescent light. After thinking for a while, Ying turned her head in a daze. She said softly: "I want to see you too. If you don’t think about anything, just follow the master, whether you use it or place it, it’s the duty of a weapon, but maybe you’re right..."
The girl's voice was very soft, and only Rin who was beside her could vaguely hear: "Because the master has always treated us as human beings, and also gave us the desire to be like human beings, I...maybe I don't want to be used, but just want to be used." Needed……"
this sister...
Rin shook his head involuntarily.
Perhaps because she was identified as a discarded product at the beginning, she was selected by the owner because of an accident, which made her feel a little inferior. Although Ying looks fine on the outside, she is always a little unconfident and worried about whether she will be abandoned. Not required.
"Okay, aren't you being needed right now?"
Taking a step forward, the black-haired boy gave his sister a hug, and he smiled and whispered in the ear of the silver-haired girl: "Just like I will help the master with government affairs, and you will help the master with housework, we have always They're all being needed - so there's no need to be so worried."
"There are still many things we can do, God Machine, not just weapons."
——After Joshua came out of the secret vault, everything returned to normal.
A group of people were walking in the corridor of the palace. It was almost midnight at this time. Joshua and others were going back to Radcliffe's house to rest in the property of the imperial capital. Alfonso had already prepared the banquet, but it seemed that this I'm afraid that dinner will turn into breakfast. As for Brandon and Nostradamus, there are still some things to do. The swordsman has to go back to the laboratory of the Mage Association to sort out some items, and the old mage needs to go to the scene where the demon appeared to investigate.
"Remember to visit Moldova often."
Arriving at the gate of the Morlaix Palace, under the awe-inspiring eyes of the guards, Joshua bid farewell to Brandon and Nostradamus. The old mage disappeared as soon as he teleported, and when the swordsman was about to leave, The soldier smiled and said to him, "Wildani and your two daughters miss you very much."
"It will, though, Joshua."
Nodding seriously, the blond swordsman looked very serious, but then he showed a teasing smile: "You are so old, now, you should probably find a lord's wife, right?"
"Ha ha."
Smiling and shaking her head, just as Joshua was about to respond, Ying who was at the side suddenly let out an exclamation, and then took out the communicator on her waist, the girl said with some doubts: "Who, why at this time..."
This is a rectangular metal instrument that the warrior asked the magic professors of Winterhold College to customize. It is a rectangular metal instrument engraved with a two-way communication circle. This magic tool can communicate without delay over long distances. Only two communication points can be fixed, so it is not universal. When Joshua is out of town, he usually uses this thing to communicate with the territory.
And it's late at night now, if it's not a big deal, logically speaking, no one in the territory will contact him now.
"give it to me."
Taking the communicator from Ying's hand, Joshua frowned and opened it.
On the side, Brandon and the Shenji siblings watched the soldiers and the people on the other side of the communicator identify each other, and then began to talk about business. Joshua's expression was serious at first, then turned into shock, and then Annoyed, and then gradually calmed down: "Okay, I understand, thank you very much, Loranda, this matter has nothing to do with you, no need to blame yourself."
"It's okay. I'll come back to deal with this matter... It's not a big problem. The celebration banquet is not only for one day. It doesn't matter if you don't participate. I have already met His Majesty the Emperor."
"Understood, you stabilize the surrounding situation, deal with the environment, and I will go right away."
As he spoke, he closed the communication circle with a blank expression on his face.
"What's the matter, friend."
And Brandon looked at the soldier's darkened face, and couldn't help asking worriedly: "Is there a problem with the territory?"
He could vaguely hear something that seemed to be happening in the territory, and it was a little serious, and Joshua needed to be returned quickly.
"It's nothing, Brandon, it's just a small thing."
Handing the communicator back into Yingying's hand, Joshua sneered, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes: "The mount at home is disobedient and ran around, causing some trouble."
——Say it clearly, keep an eye on the teleportation array, don't move around, but it still ran over! This totally misses my words!
Thinking of this, the soldier's expression became even colder: "I'll go back and teach it a lesson."
Ilgna World, next afternoon.
Under the guidance of Professor Nelson, Hei and a fully armed armored army came to the largest coastal port in Babel Province, Sapphire Port.
Sapphire Port is a large port located on the northeast coast of the Gulf Federation. It has a superior geographical location and is naturally a deep-water port. Years of artificial transformation have made its cargo throughput reach a terrible level. In addition, Sapphire Port The scenery is beautiful, and because there is no wind all year round, the calm sea water shines like gems under the sun, which is the origin of its name.
The reason why Hei was brought—or escorted to Sapphire Port was because the provincial capital of Babel could not provide the food and housing requirements of such a behemoth. Due to the eruption of the Sigma Volcano, hundreds of thousands of refugees wandered to the Sapphire Port. Among the many cities in the province, the capital is the most.
With the growing national strength of the Gulf Federation, it is no problem to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation for refugees, and there is even room for carnivals to enhance the atmosphere, but the existence of such a huge half-dragon is different. Although Hei is very close to the elves, but Let it walk freely, I don’t know how many cowardly elves Longwei will scare to death, and the daily food of a dragon is not what a city that does not produce food can provide, not to mention that according to the researcher’s judgment, the half-dragon is an aquatic species, Although it is possible to live in magma or high-temperature hot springs, sea water is obviously more suitable for it than land.
Moreover, there is a lot of food in the sea, which can reduce the pressure on food. Even if Hei doesn't want to hunt, it is more convenient to transport food in the port than inland.
On the way to Port Sapphire, Professor Nelson, who was sitting on top of the armored vehicle, never gave up communicating with Hei. He even asked his students to bring out the research materials of the people of the plains that he had collected for many years, and corrected himself as much as possible. Hei's pronunciation problem, but Hei's nature is not very high.
Because it always felt a chill running up and down its spine, as if it was being watched by some extremely terrifying existence. Now that the half-dragon is of the blood of an ancient dragon, it rarely feels this kind of danger.
what happened? It was a little restless, even though the old elf beside him had been talking about something, Hei didn't pay much attention to it, the chill was so terrifying that the half-dragon's limbs were a little weak.
And while the white-haired old elf professor was chattering to the horse, the team finally arrived at a hill on the outskirts of Sapphire Port, from which they could overlook the scenery of the distant port.
But no matter who the elves in the team were, when they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help being shocked and speechless.
Because, the sea is turning red.
In the port, riots are taking place. I don't know if it happened a long time ago or not long ago. Under the sunlight in the afternoon, the blue sea of gems in the distance is becoming turbid at a speed visible to the naked eye. , Countless black mud and rot deposited on the bottom of the sea were washed up by an inexplicable force, and the sea area within tens of kilometers was stained with a strange layer of black and red.
And as the sea water became more and more turbid, everyone also smelled a strange smell, which was very familiar, a bit like sulfur, mixed with the smell of dead fish that port cities often smell, it was a bit like yes……
"Roar!"
Hei suddenly reacted, and it immediately turned its head to look at Professor Nelson. The half-dragon roared several times, as if he was saying something, but the old elf couldn't understand a word, and he suddenly understood something in his anxiety .
"This smell is very similar to the smell on the Volcanic Dragon... sulfur, lava, volcano... volcano?!"
Looking in astonishment at the source of the reddened sea water in the distance, there are countless dead fish floating out, churning, as if the sea area is boiling, Nelson has the worst guess in his heart.
"Could it be, a submarine volcano?!"
Today my roommate returned to China, helped him prepare his luggage, and sent him to the plane, the update is late...
