Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 7 Chapter 30: The Lookout's Distance

When Nostradamus found Joshua, the warrior was drinking with the incarnation of the natural teacher in the underground dome of the Shrine of Ten Thousand Worlds.

"Elves are a race whose blood base is easy to change. In the long past, our ancestors were influenced by the father of nature to become elves, and then adapted to the environment of the forest. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that when elves leave the forest and go to other regions, It will always easily evolve into a physique suitable for the local environment."

Galanold was wearing a hidden blue petal dress. Although she was holding a wine glass in her hand, there was honey water in the glass. She seemed to be chatting with Joshua about the bloodline transformation related issues. Now she is feeling: "Forest Elves, plains elves, northland elves, far sea elves... and the dark elves who just returned some time ago, each is the result of the rapid changes in the local environment."

"If the cause of this sudden change can be found, it would be a blessing for all races." On the side, Joshua had been listening silently. After the natural teacher had finished speaking, he nodded and said: "The adaptation of the elves. The ability is indeed the best in the world of Mycroft, and it is no wonder that it is the first race preparing to colonize the multiverse."

"That's all things in the past. Today, we can only shrink away from the southern corner." Smiling and shook his head, Galanoud turned his head and looked at Nostradamus who was standing by, and then lightly. With a laugh: "Ah, the master is here too."

"Of course I want to come."

Reluctantly smiling at the natural teacher, Nostradamus turned his head, forcibly changed his expression, and then said to Joshua with a straight face: "Earl Radcliffe, do you know that, you just..."

"I solved the downtime problem of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site."

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Joshua replied plainly: "The world coordinates of the elite team are also in my hands."

"Oh-okay..." Suddenly, Nostradamus vented his guilty aura: "I know, although you seem to have no brains, you still do things in an orderly manner... Where are they now? ?"

As much as possible not to pay attention to the natural teacher covering his mouth and laughing and Joshua’s questioning expression, the old mage walked to the table where they were and used magic to construct a chair to sit down. Nostradamus didn’t know. Is it to bring the topic, or is really urgent, so he hurriedly asked: "This is not the time to hesitate, who can tell if they are still alive now! Where are the world coordinates, just go and save it quickly!"

"It's still alive... It's not dangerous for the time being. Although my power of steel cannot be connected, I can at least be sure that the repair beam has not been destroyed."

Qiao Xiuya nodded, then shook his head: "The problem is, the coordinates I know are the coordinates one thousand or two hundred years ago. Now the world galaxy is turbulent. God knows that the world is still in its original location, so I rushed to find it. Looking for a needle in a haystack."

What's more, because of the time dilation effect, the one thousand and two hundred years of Mykrov’s world may be equivalent to thousands of years at the edge of the world's galaxy—thousands of years, enough time for a group of primitive people who use stone tools to drink blood to become capable Flying out of the atmosphere, courteous cultural man.

"It's better to find it then than not to find it."

Hearing that, Nostradamus knew the problem, so he just sighed: "After all, it was the return beacon I made that had a problem. If these little guys encounter something bad... I really feel uneasy."

Joshua understood this feeling.

Most of the legends in the Mycroft world cannot match the usual ‘good guys’, but without exception, everyone has a sense of responsibility. Although most of this sense of responsibility is only for his own clan and the forces he is in, it is enough.

"I came here mainly to ask the nature teacher if I can borrow the star map stored in the'Seed of the World Tree'... now, it is probably the seedling of the World Tree."

Joshua calmly explained to Nostradamus: "Most of the star maps stored in the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Site have errors. There is a millennium time gap. Although the teleportation can be teleported, it does not help find someone. On the contrary, it is the star map sent by the Father of Nature some time ago. Although there are errors, it is generally the star map of the recent period and has been revised."

"Comparing the two star maps, we can find out the trajectory of the galaxy movement, and then find the world coordinates we need-as long as your natural teacher is willing..."

"Is there anything to refuse? The seed of the world tree was originally brought back by you." In response, Galanold took a sip of honey water reluctantly, shook his head and smiled: "It's just such a small matter, it's a little effort. What's more, with your relationship with Earl Radcliffe, if you are willing, I will agree to more excessive things."

At this point, the natural teacher smiled unclearly, and raised the wine glass in his hand to Joshua.

"Really?" However, in Nostradamus's shocked expression, Joshua suddenly raised his brows. He raised his glass to clink with the natural teacher, and said with a smile: "In this case, there are three legends looking for it. The group of lost little guys, they will definitely be flattered."

Galanold: "...Huh?"

Just when the three legendary powerhouses at the other end of time and space were ready to set off.

In the edge world, in a bright underground cave among the elves of the Overlooker.

"This is my home!"

Accompanied by the full of breath, the straightforward voice that was not at all like a girl echoed in the cave, Priest followed in the footsteps of Sur and entered the other party's home.

Although it is a home, in fact, it is just a relatively large ventilation cave located around the roots of the mother tree of life.

After walking through the not-so-long corridor, Priest discovered that the caves located around the roots of the mother tree do have a lot of gentle magic power, which can promote the development and growth of various creatures, and even make them obtain The extraordinary affinity of the forces of nature-just like most elves.

Perhaps this is the truth about the elves' affinity for the power of nature, not by blood inheritance, but by the influence of the living environment.

But it doesn't make sense to think so much, because the research on the customs of alien elves can be postponed a bit. Today, Sur invited him to be a guest at home.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about what happened after Priest had a conversation with the Deer Crest Elf not long ago.

Knowing that the otherworldly elves resisted the erosion of chaos, they used the primitive living sacrifice method of concentrating most of the erosion of chaos on a few people and killing them and then completely eradicating them, Priest understood why it passed. After such a long time, these elves still have little improvement in terms of technology.

Think about it.

A tribe, with worry-free food and clothing, a good environment, a comfortable place to live, no natural enemies around, no internal conflicts because of the spiritual network, and also because of the sharing of knowledge and experience, so there is no curiosity about the unknown and unseen. All technologies are Enough.

It sounds too good, but is this really the perfect start for the development of civilization?

The answer is of course no.

An environment that is too perfect will stop civilization, especially this perfect environment, which is still an island.

On the small islands in the far south and far seas, there are many indigenous people living in the tropics. These indigenous people living in the tropics are also the remnants who walked out of the sanctuary a thousand years ago. They can fish and pick them without much hard work. The fruit spends a year comfortably.

But the same are the survivors who walked out of the sanctuary. The civilization on the Mykrov continent has developed to the void multiverse. The islanders are still islanders, and they still live a comfortable life like a monkey, even None of the wheels were invented.

And these elves in a different world not only have no motivation for development, but they also have no internal contradictions. Because their spirits are connected together, they can perceive each other's sadness and indignation, and everyone is united to the millennium. The tribe hasn’t been split within a period of time—until here, it’s actually okay. It’s not that it can’t develop. It’s just a bit slow. But the most frightening thing is that the elves are the powerhouses in the clan to get rid of alien diseases Voluntary sacrifice is the price.

Yes, everyone’s spirit is connected, so the strong are willing to sacrifice, and the weak also feel sad and admired from the bottom of their hearts. However, when the word'strong' itself means'sacrifice', it is true. Does anyone want to become stronger? Although everyone doesn't mind the sacrifice, naturally they won't go against the natural instincts, become stronger voluntarily, and then go to death, right?

The last path of the development of the elves was also banned by themselves. In such a world, even after thousands and tens of thousands of years, the society of the elves will never change.

Unless, there are outsiders who break this fixed cycle.

"Priest, what are you thinking?"

Priest, who was silently sighing and sighing in his heart, suddenly felt a rush of heat in his ears. He quickly backed away and turned his head, only to see Su Er looking at him suspiciously: "You said you wanted to come to my house. See, how come you are in a daze?"

"Ahem...I was thinking about something."

Priest couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and then pretended to look around naturally.

This time, it was indeed Priest who offered to go to Suer’s house to take a look. The main purpose was to confirm the daily habits and technical level of otherworldly elves. In general, it was still observing the situation and collecting information. The elves would not easily allow outsiders like Priest to enter the house. On the contrary, it was Sul's familiarity, even if Priest didn't mention it, she would invite him to come and sit for a while.

After several days of communication and contact, Sur and Priest were already very familiar with each other, so when faced with the request of the other party'want to see the elves burrow', the elven girl agreed without hesitation.

Taking advantage of the girl's kindness, Priest couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, but because of this, he took it more seriously.

The entire hall of the underground cave is about 150 square meters, with an average height of three hundred and forty centimeters. It is very wide and does not feel small at all.

There are several rooms on both sides of the hall. According to Sur’s enthusiastic explanation, Priest knows that they are warehouses, clothing storage rooms and various tools, such as storage rooms for fishing nets and farm shovel, everyone’s The rooms are also separate, and there is a magic circle that regulates the temperature and air inside, which relies on the magic power of the mother tree of life to operate.

The life of the elves is more comfortable than expected. You can see that there are some primitive tool tables and utensils in the wide hall. I think it should be Su's father. The antler elves usually make potions and make wands. At the place of the arrow, even on the right side of the hall, you can see a huge fish box with many colorful and beautiful looking fishes and shells.

The fish box is made of relatively rough glass. It should be a handicraft that some strong people use their own power to forcibly shape and cannot be copied.

The only strange thing is that the fish in the fish box are sick, not only rarely move, some even turn their eyes and have their belly upturned.

"Huh? Do you like fish?"

Paying attention to Priest’s expression, Suer, who was putting his fishing net into the storage room, smiled proudly: "Haha, I caught all the fish in this fish tank! Isn’t it beautiful? What a pity, Dad doesn’t like them, even if Dad made me a fish tank, he still doesn’t think these fish are pretty."

Speaking of this, Suer stepped forward, and the elf girl bent down and put a hand on the fish tank, and said with a pity: "It is so gorgeous in color and beautiful in length... But why don't they understand Dad?"

"The flowers are so beautiful, the deer are so lively, the trees are tall, the grasses are delicate...just this piece of forest, it is so colorful and you will never tire of it... But over a hill, there is a brand new one. The same beautiful scenery, but why does my father always say this is meaningless behavior?"

When he said this, Sur's eyes were a little dim, and a mist of big beautiful eyes appeared.

Priest looked into Sur's eyes. That is what most pure-blood elves have. The golden-green eyes are like a grassland under the sun. They are very beautiful... For a while, Priest, who originally had a cultural level limited to extraordinary powers, couldn’t find anything. Adjectives, subconsciously, just stared blankly for several seconds.

"wrong."

But soon, Priest reacted. Now it’s not the time to think about this... composure, he secretly took out a black, inconspicuous metal bead from his arms, and then pretended not to pay attention, causing it to fall on On the ground, when this little bead touched the ground, it immediately stretched out many mechanical tentacles, like a bug, and quickly made a hole into the soil.

In the distance, the four members of the Elite Exploration Team, who were waiting patiently for their captain to start taking action in the cave, cheered and said, "It's a success! The captain is a success!"

"The energy stored by the miniature scout puppets can dig a distance of more than five hundred meters. We are too far away from the mother tree of life, and five hundred meters is not enough."

"But the residence of the elves is different. The roots of the mother tree of life are the pillars of their cave. We will soon be able to collect information on the mother tree of another world, and then judge how serious the chaotic infection phenomenon is on this land! By the way! You can collect special information about the Mother Tree of Life in another world, and you can sell elves for a large amount of redemption points when you change hands!"

"It seems that the captain still hasn't forgotten the business." Wiping a sweat, the wizard touched the staff in his hand, jokingly said: "I thought he would be addicted to chatting with beautiful elves and forget his mission."

"Said it is a beautiful girl, in fact, the other party's age may be older than our grandma." The priest said objectively.

The knight was unwilling to say: "What to say-the age of the elf, can that be called age?"

Just when the priest and the knight began to argue about the topic of ‘how old is an elf to be a girl’, Sur, who was a little sad, was completely regained at this time.

"Oh, these fishes are beautiful, but they always die faster."

Patting the fish tank, Sur sighed deeply, then shook his head dissatisfiedly: "It took me a long time to fish them all up, but none of them gave me face, and I would die in at most seven or eight days— —No way, although it is so beautiful, it can only be made into braised fish, grilled fish..."

While talking, the elf girl swallowed and showed a "sad" expression.

After confirming that he had completed the task, Priest breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his attention to the fish tank and looked at the sick fish.

Just by sniffing his nose and smelling the water, the experienced Priest immediately understood why the fish would die.

——Nonsense, marine fish are raised in fresh water, and they can live for seven or eight days, which is considered to be a tenacious fish in the high magic world!

Seeing the various sea fishes in the fish tank struggling to survive and still spitting bubbles, Priest looked at them suddenly with sympathy-at the same time, he still thought of his sister.

The same is not giving face. One treats saplings as grass and the other uses marine fish as freshwater fish. This is really... a little cute.

Speaking of it, before I left, did I tell Britney Spears that what she was holding was actually a sapling instead of grass?

However, it also reveals that the Overlooker tribe does not care about this knowledge-they seem to have never raised marine fish, and never care about similar things, even if it is because of Sur's own special discovery problems, but because they did not Others discussed that the question of'why sea fish can't live in fresh water' can only slowly become a simple and non-causal'don't give face'.

This sad mode of thinking is the foundation of ignorance.

"Sur, didn't you find out that the sea is salty, but the water you raise these fishes is not salty..."

"Ah, that's it!"

Purist tried his best to explain the reason for Sur in simple words, but he underestimated the IQ of the elven girl. When only said that the sea water was salty, Sur appeared in a daze, so Purist did not need to continue to explain the fresh water. The difference with sea water.

Seeing his face suddenly realized, then turning his head to touch the fish tank distressedly, and apologizing to the various fish in Sur, Priest couldn't help but want to laugh, but he couldn't laugh.

In fact, this kind of thinking is nothing more than a hurdle, even if one more person ponders it, one can quickly figure out why. But in this elven tribe, no one else discusses'for a living' with Sur at all. All of them just follow the steps, working like ants, and have never thought about the reason and truth behind everything.

"That, I'm sorry."

Suddenly, Priest saw the elven girl turn her head, Suer stroked the fish tank with one hand, and said with a trace of apology: "Initially, I want to take you to the house and have a look, so that you can see the wonders of the mother tree... But now, I want to go to the beach as soon as possible to change the water for these fish."

"Ah, no problem."

Priest was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. The miracle of the mother tree can be seen with the help of a miniature investigative puppet. His purpose of coming here has been achieved. No matter what he does next, it is free time. "If you want to go, I will accompany you."

Whether it was Sur or Priest, they were the kind of people who were quick and resolute. Soon, the two of them walked out of the elven tribe with the fish tank in the evening when the sun was still shining.

Back and forth, there were many elves who ended hunting and picking and returned to the tribe from all directions. Sur and Priest, who went retrogradely, were very conspicuous, but after the headed elves looked up, everyone else remained unchanged. , Seemingly passing by indifferently, Priest even saw Sur’s father, the Golden Druid Deer Crest Elf, walking by without expression, even if his daughter was with a strange man. He didn't have the slightest curiosity after leaving the tribe.

Under the calm and natural appearance, there is still stagnant water like a deep green pond.

The orange sun in another world slowly sets, and the rust-colored nine-wheeled behemoth moon rises. Under the weird or gloomy red light, Priest and Sur silently walked the road leading to the sea. .

Priest is holding the fish tank, while Sur is holding the tool to change the water, which he actively requested. After all, for a golden warrior, a mere fish tank is not much different from a piece of paper, Priest Carry it on your shoulders, as far as possible to keep the water in the tank from making any waves.

Soon, the two came to the beach.

The sea tide is so high.

This is a landscape completely different from the daylight—under the nine crimson, **** rusty moon, the turbulent ocean tide is surging like blood waves, and the strange fluorescence is tossing in the sea, bringing waves of magical power, elves Although the fishing pier was originally built to be very high, it was also submerged for a small amount at this time. The bottom of the rock casting was beaten by waves, and it glowed like Mars.

Strange, but not terrifying, and even has a unique sense of beauty.

"Just put it here."

Sur took the lead to walk to a sandy beach that was not completely submerged, and Priest followed closely. He placed the fish tank on the edge of the wave and waited for Sur's next move.

But at this time, the elf girl stared at the sea horizon in a daze, looking at the looming clouds and stars in the distance.

"You said—Priest." Suar suddenly asked, "On the other side of the sea, what is it?"

"...It's probably another continent."

The young soldier squinted his eyes and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know if it is the planetary world or the continental world. It's hard to judge."

But Suer didn’t seem to care about the answer. She seemed to just like someone answering her own question. The elf girl sat on the beach with her hands on her knees, and said in a daze: "I like looking into the distance... the sea, the mountains, the woods. …I like it all. Every time I just think about it, I feel excited and unable to hold on to myself. I even want to get on a small boat and float across the sea to take a look."

"I think, the ancestors must also like Zou Zou very much-otherwise, why is the name of the tribe called Zou Zou? What do they want to see, that's why they use Zou Zou as their tribe's name?"

Maybe it's the starry sky. Priest didn't answer, he just raised his head subconsciously and looked at the world barriers that were so strong that even the Void Giant Beast couldn't destroy it. Can't get out, can't come in, cut off the barriers between the inside and outside.

Even the elves who go out to colonize...I am afraid they will miss their hometown.

"But father and them, as well as uncles, uncles, aunts... everyone doesn't like to look over. They are clearly called the lookout, but they always look down at the earth and never want to go out."

Speaking of this, Suar fell into a deep silence, until Priest felt something was not right and wanted to comfort him, Suer snorted, then stood up abruptly and almost hit Priest. With a special nose, I saw the elven girl **** the sky and **** it loudly, "Anyway, I'm dying too-it's decided, I may not be able to get through the sea, but before I die, I must go to the opposite side of the holy mountain. Look, see what is there!"

After that, Suer lifted the fish tank on the ground neatly, then opened it, and forcefully poured the fish into the sea along with the water.

"Huh—Sur, didn't you say you want to change the water?"

Upon seeing this, he was still immersed in the incident of'Sul is dying.' Priest, who was in a daze, couldn't react to ~www.novelmtl.com~ and there was no time to stop it. He just walked to Sur's side and would have been The empty fish tank was taken down, and he said with some regret: "You said, you took a lot of effort to catch these beautiful fish, why did you let them all go?"

"Forget it, it's hard for me to feed them anyway."

After letting all the fish out, Suer looked a lot happy. She tidyed up her hair that was messy because of the sea breeze, narrowed her eyes, and smiled naturally: "After all, fish is not a life in a tank, it is It belongs to the sea—it's one thing for us to catch it and eat it, and it's another thing to keep it in the tank."

"After all... I don't like being locked up, and I want to go out. Just thinking about it, I don't want to raise fish anymore."

Hearing this, for some reason, Priest suddenly fell into a low tone: "...you can go out."

He raised his head and looked at the somewhat surprised elf girl, Priest said solemnly: "You should go out-this is everyone's right."

"Haha, can it be said that you are willing to take me to the mountain to see, maybe I will die halfway? It's very cumbersome."

Suer smiled heartily, alive and well like a middle-aged uncle who had drunk alcohol. Both his tone and attitude were completely different from his delicate appearance, but soon, the elf girl seemed hearty, in fact The laughter was just self-deprecating, but it was interrupted by Priest's solemn tone.

"Yes, and not just over the mountain."

Priest raised his head and looked at the dark void above his head except for September. He whispered: "You will have more things to see in the future - definitely more than just a little bit, such a small world."

"I promise--I promise it."
