Buzz, what?
Didn't the maid just change the quilt and sheets before? Did she accidentally leave something in the process of cleaning?
Joshua didn't think much about it. He just lifted the quilt up. Anyway, Ying was still asleep and dressed. In addition, there was really nothing worth seeing, so the soldier didn't squint and looked directly at the place where the hum came from.
Joshua's vision is not the best in the world, it is also the first-class, just with the naked eye, can achieve the similar effect of energy vision. When he looked at it, he easily found the source of the buzz.
Before the girl fell asleep, what the magic condensed was a woman's military dress. There were two pockets at the waist for storing trinkets. At this time, something in the pocket on the right side of the firefly seemed to vibrate constantly, with a very high frequency.
Joshua simply reached into his pocket and grasped it.
"I feel like I've suddenly become a very bad person."
The soldier shrugged his shoulders and thought about it carefully. Whether it was lifting the girl's quilt or taking out the little things in her pocket while the girl was sleeping, it was really a very bad thing.
He took the vibrating unknown object out of the firefly's pocket, but it was strange that the high-frequency vibrating object stopped shaking when it touched Joshua's finger. At the same time, the soldier felt a strange force suddenly appeared, swam in the palm, and seemed to want to enter his body.
"... something."
In his hands, fighting to isolate the strange power, Joshua looked down at his palm.
It is a translucent polyhedral crystal, black and red light in the thumb of the crystal flow, the light along the countless small slices flashing, like stars in general.
"Such a beautiful gem? Where did the Firefly come from? "
Doubtfully, he said to himself that the soldier held the gem in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully: "the quality is also very high. Both the section and the crystal quality are above the standard... But where did it come from?"
Shenji girl has been following him all the time. When she hardly acts alone, how can she buy or get this level of gem? And just now there was an inexplicable force coming from this crystal. What's the matter?
"Interesting."
Squinting his eyes, Joshua had an association in his mind.
——Is firefly's coma related to this gem?
Although it sounds ridiculous, it is one of the possibilities. Since it is possible, he will not let it go.
So there was a low voice.
"System, identification."
Suddenly, countless blue and blue data streams flashed in front of his eyes, and finally condensed into a report.
[... In the identification of objects, the judgment of mineral knowledge is successful, the judgment of ancient knowledge is failed, and the judgment of strange knowledge is failed
[identification report: crystal of infected steel · ancient wonder]
[mineral: the power of steel is one of the foundations of material existence. It combines with other energies in the world to form all things that all living beings see today. Except for some pure spirit, energy and life, there is the power of steel in the body of any life. At some strange moments, such as the beginning of the world's creation, when the world is on the verge of destruction, the most basic force of steel will condense into solid crystals scattered all over the world. It may form any form, but most of the time it appears in the form of gems. Steel crystal is one of the most important raw materials for forging legendary equipment. Weapons forged from it will possess various incredible abilities
Ancient times: the crystal of this steel has existed for more than 1300 years
Strange thing: the crystal of this steel comes from another world, and it is infected by some force. Contacting it may have some sequelae
[synthesis: a rare ore from an alien world. It is extremely precious, but it has some strange power. It needs careful consideration before using it
"The crystal of steel?"
With a frown, Joshua murmured. He turned the black red crystal in his hand and looked back and forth several times: "I haven't seen it before, but isn't the crystal of steel a silver gray gem? Why is it red and black now? "
The unknown reason for the influence of power? be on the cards.
"Although firefly is usually a human form, it is also a magic weapon in the final analysis..." Joshua thought about the information revealed in these appraisal reports: "she contacted this crystal of steel, and she must be more affected than human beings."
Maybe the reason why the firefly has been sleeping so far is the strange power brought by the crystallization of this steel, and it can also explain some of the information that Claire and Nostradamus said, such as the stagnant force of steel, the inexplicable chaos and so on.After thinking for a while, Joshua looked at the silver haired girl on the bed. Ying was sleeping peacefully and breathing steadily. She didn't seem to be in any bad condition.
If everything is the same as he thought, then there is no doubt that the inexplicable force is the main reason.
"We should try what the consequences of this power will be."
The soldier's idea is not reckless, but a deliberate choice.
"My resistance is stronger than the firefly, and if not, it can also open the bad state of the gods coming down to earth to expel, there will be no accident."
In this way, he let go of the shield of fighting against the crystal stone in his hand, and let the power contained in it touch his body.
——Then Joshua's vision fell into chaos.
……
Fog, and darkness.
When Joshua broke free from the guidance of inexplicable power with steel like will, he opened his eyes and saw such a scene.
Barren hills covered with gray and black rocks, huge stone mountains looming in the fog, the dry land, crystal forests full of shadows, and jagged rocks, while in the dark and cloudy sky, there is only a faint light of the sun.
Breathing a breath of decadent air, the soldier felt that his surroundings were filled with the force of stagnant steel, which made him familiar but uncomfortable.
Strange atmosphere spread in silence. Joshua looked around solemnly, but found nothing. Although the fog mixed with thick black particles could not block all his vision, it could cover all the information brought by the distance. The darkness seemed to move and was slowly converging towards the soldiers.
Here, where is it?
Boom!
Just as this thought flashed through Joshua's mind, a sudden thunder rang out.
——This is the death place where no one survives, the wasteland where all things perish, the doomsday world where the light dissipates, the flame goes out, and the abyss of bottomless chaos sinks.
A strange voice seemed to ring out vaguely and answered his question at the same time, but it was not noticed by the soldiers.
With the thunder, the gray sky bloomed, the dim lightning released a little light, countless translucent particles like rain fell from the sky, washed away the fog.
He reached out and took a translucent particle. Joshua found that this kind of object, which seemed to be ice and crystal, brought incomparable chill, but it would not melt. He threw the particle on the ground, and then looked up into the distance.
Because the gray and black fog around him was expelled by the crystal rain, the soldier's vision suddenly widened a lot. At the end of his vision, in the hills, at least ten kilometers away, there is an ancient and huge temple ruins.
The door of the temple was completely open, and the walls were nearly half collapsed. I don't know how long it took for the sanctuary to be covered with dust and crystals.
A shadow flashed.
"Looks like someone's on the move?"
Because it was so far away, even Joshua could not be sure whether what he had just seen was an illusion. He frowned and looked around. "I don't know why I came here, but I'll go and have a look first."
Determine the path you should take in the middle of the journey, and the soldier will start.
The thunder stopped, and the crystal rain gradually weakened, and the gray black fog once again emerged from the depths of the earth, enveloping the surrounding.
time lapse.
Sobbing——
A whistle that could penetrate the sky sounded in the distance, and then it was passed to Joshua, who was walking through the dark with the path in his memory. This made the soldiers stunned. But then, it seemed that the sound of a huge object moving overtook the whistle, which was like a machine running, The general sound of gears biting.
"Boom!"
Another flash of thunder lit up the fog, allowing Joshua to see the interior of the temple, which was already very close.
This time, the soldier can be sure that there is a figure wandering in the ruins of the temple.
It seems that he is aware of something outside. The figure comes out from the inside of the temple. There seems to be silver hair flashing behind the ancient gate of the temple.
Seeing this scene, Joshua was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "firefly?"
Then, the will of the soldier returned to consciousness.
As if waking up from a dream, Joshua's eyes were still a little confused at the beginning, but then he immediately returned to Qingming. He immediately used his fighting spirit to wrap the crystal of steel in his hand, isolating the invasion of power."... just now, is it an illusion?"
Determined that her body was still sitting by the firefly's bed, and even did not move at all, Joshua, who had stopped the possibility of her body crossing through, was solemn and Pondering over her previous experience like a dream.
It's not an illusion.
The soldier looked at his left palm, the decadent and uncomfortable smell of the air, and the cold temperature of the crystal rain made him remember deeply. This is not an illusion. He whispered to himself: "is that shadow just now a firefly?"
She fell into that dream, too?
Standing up in silence, Joshua lowered his head and took a deep look at the sleeping pretty face of the firefly.
This is the truth of Ying's delay in waking up?
"It seems that things are more complicated than I imagined... I can only try to see if the method mentioned by Nostradamus works."
——The next day.
The cemetery in the west of the city, in the church.
Standing in the study of the cemetery Church in a black military dress, Joshua stepped on the black granite floor, looked at the gold glowing fragments of fluorite on the ceiling, and then walked to the special floor with a gap.
Without any hesitation, he put his hand on it.
The magic pattern flashed, and a low and rigid machine sound started.
"Energy detection... Frequency band match, target: Joshua van Radcliffe, family owner, supreme authority, door open."
"From fire, from steel, wisdom never dies, and order never dies."
With the ancient praise, the black rock slowly opened, and a narrow passage leading to the underground exposed.
And Joshua walked into it without hesitation
