The so-called force of steel is one of the most primitive and extensive forces in the world.
In mythology and legend, the initial fire and the steel of origin forged the whole world of mirov, and all materialized existence, especially the flesh of all things, is directly derived from the steel of origin.
No matter how strong the "steel" is, it has no activity and can't be controlled by people's will. Ordinary physical exercise can't stimulate this innate power. Only through special rituals or the stimulation of life and death can it be stimulated, This is the "iron enlightenment" that all war professionals have to experience. As long as they succeed, they will be promoted from mortals to black iron level professionals.
In terms of human beings alone, there is a high probability of successful awakening. Theoretically speaking, as long as it is a living creature, no matter how weak and old it is, it is possible to stimulate "steel". However, life with too weak body, such as insects and mice, is likely to die at the same time of successful awakening.
A successful awakened creature will become stronger because of the activation of "steel force" in its body, but this strength will not be reflected in its body shape. A successful awakened person may look thin but can split steel with bare hands.
However, it is difficult to increase the quantity and quality of steel in the body only by relying on their own exercise and not relying on external objects. For the vast majority of soldiers and knights who have no inheritance, bathing in the blood of Warcraft and eating their flesh and blood is the quickest way to obtain steel. This is a dangerous road, It means endless killing and death - the reason why there are hundreds of silver knights in Beidi is that they fight with Warcraft all the year round and plunder and devour each other's power, which makes these knights who have no inheritance gain enough power to break through their physical limit.
"... different from humans."
After observing for a while, Claire nodded slowly. With her insight, she could see that the girl lying on the bed was not a normal life: "artificial alchemy life?"
But Nostradamus was slightly shocked. He asked in a deep voice, "Joshua, is this little girl your magic weapon?"
The existence of Shenji is not a secret to the high-level of these empires. As the chief mage of the Empire, Nostradamus participated in the design of Shenji of the previous generation. He is not unfamiliar with or even quite familiar with the body shape of the silver haired girl.
"Not bad." Joshua simply replied: "she is my magic machine, firefly."
Looking at the two men with serious expressions, the soldier went to the body of the silver haired girl. He reached the bed and touched his magic forehead: "I don't talk much. Since the last time I broke the time and space gate, Ying's condition has not been very good, and she couldn't wake up at the beginning of January. Although her condition didn't seem to deteriorate, I still feel very worried, Can be what sequela
Joshua turned to look at the Druid: "before, Ms. Claire said that there was chaos in my residence, which reminds me of the abnormal situation on the firefly. Now it seems that there is a certain connection."
"It's not necessarily the power of chaos."
Nostradamus frowned and looked at the girl in front of him. He stroked his beard, feeling that he didn't know what to say: "Joshua... If I remember correctly, you should have inherited the title of the frost moon last year, and the snow moon became the guardian of chaos. At that time, you were just a golden beginner, And your magic weapon should only be about the middle and high level of silver. If you become a high level of gold, you can explain it by continuous fighting and the "characteristics" of soldiers, but your magic weapon has also entered the second stage! "
The white haired mage said in a rare exclamation tone: "the radcliffs have been guarding the time gate in the north for 400 years. Not every generation of the family owners can successfully advance the Shenji to the second stage, but it only took you three months. This is..."
He shook his head and finished, The old mage continued to observe carefully: "do you say that your magic machine has been sleeping so far in the process of upgrading? This is not necessarily the cause of chaos, but rather the failure to digest the power you provided to her. Let me continue to have a look... "
On the other side, Claire's expression was not good. The fairy beauty, who didn't know her age, was frowning and biting her nails. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Rationally ignoring the childish act of biting his fingernails, Joshua looked at Claire's expression and couldn't help thinking of the taboo of some Druids in the previous life: "don't the earth Druids support the emergence of alchemy life?"
Hearing the soldier's question, Claire shook her head. She thought about it, and then said, "it's the same rules and progress of nature that creatures mate, produce descendants, and create alchemy life with human beings. I just wonder why she has such a strong force of steel."
At this point, the spirit Druid subconsciously raised his finger: "artificial life, should not be like this...""As before, the stagnant, immobile force of steel?"
Frowning, Joshua said in a low voice: "is it because of this kind of power that Ying can't complete the advanced stage and can't wake up?"
According to what Druid said before, the stagnant force of steel was infected by chaos, which may lead to problems in the process of advancement.
"I don't know."
Claire shook his head. "You should ask him." With that, she pointed to the old mage not far away.
At the same time, they turned their eyes to the old mage who was thinking hard.
Nostradamus looked solemn. As the chief mage of the Empire, the original sixth generation magic machine was developed and put into practice by him. The magic machine "fan", which was used by Joshua's father, was the core design of the old housekeeper. For Shenji, the old mage knew very well, but even he couldn't find out the reason why Ying was sleeping in such a short time.
With one hand outstretched and a flash of purple light, Nostradamus released an advanced energy exploration technique to the firefly on the bed. But after the exploration, his expression became more strange: "is the energy core still changing? It's only four or five days for an ordinary advanced level. It's ten times the standard time. How can such a huge power come from it? "
If the conversion is successful, how powerful will this magic machine be?
Feeling the look in Joshua's eyes, the old mage thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Joshua, I say a possibility, but only a possibility."
His tone is not sure: "the reason why you are so sleepy is that you have too much accumulated power, which leads to too much energy pressure during the advanced stage, so that her core can't digest quickly and can only dissolve slowly... If you can reduce this power a little, then she should wake up soon."
"But where does this power come from?"
Joshua did not know, so he said, "if it was because of my high level of advancement, I should not have slept so long."
"You should ask where your power comes from." Nostradamus sighed. He looked directly into the eyes of the soldiers and said slowly, "how many chaotic demons did you kill when destroying the time gate? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Kill at least two golden monsters, right? Ordinary people don't kill you for more than two minutes all their lives. "
He warned Joshua seriously: "don't underestimate the plunder and accumulation between steel. The power gained by killing these Warcraft is more terrible than you think. As for why these powers are infected by chaos... Forgive me, I can't see for the moment, but it should have something to do with shikongmen."
After a moment's silence, Joshua asked in a low voice, "then, how to resolve it?"
"... it's simple." After the same silence for a while, the old mage showed a strange smile. He looked at the soldier's tall body, and seemed to think of something: "Joshua, as long as you wake up another magic machine and let it share the power, even if you can't make the girl wake up completely, you can at least speed up her progress."
"Wake up another magic machine..."
He nodded thoughtfully, but Joshua was silent,
"If other people can't bear the load of the two magic machines, but you're not the same." Nostradamus was very happy with a smile: "you should be one of the most talented fighters in the history of the Empire. If you were you, you would certainly be able to bear the load of two magic weapons."
The soldier closed his eyes: "let me see."
——A few days later.
As the chief mage of the Empire, Nostradamus had many affairs. Due to the existence of a large number of time and space gates in Beidi, he could not use teleportation magic at will, so he had to set out to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. Claire windsong, the Druid of the forest spirit, is staying. She is preparing to purify the chaos near Moldova and Moldova. She surveys soil and air samples around the black forest every day.
And the main city, the west of the city, is in the bedroom on the second floor.
"... still sleeping."
The maids had just changed the new cushions and quilts for Ying's bed, while Joshua was sitting on the edge of his own bed. He reached out and pinched the little face of the silver haired girl, and then said to himself without expression, "you guy, I'll go and get another magic machine before I wake up."
With that, Joshua chuckled, "don't blame me for being jealous. I don't need you."
Hum. As if in response to what the soldier said before, a slight hum came from the firefly
