Chapter 672: The Root of the World
Goron summoned a few blood fountain totems beside the Desert King, and after seeing that the Queen's injuries were basically stable, he turned his gaze to the Redstone Ancient Spirit and said in a light tone: "As you said, after igniting the world, our chances of survival don't seem to be very high. ”
"Only about one in seventy million, to be exact. Redstone Spirits admitted, "It's a miracle that you survived. When I calculate the success rate, I take into account all known and unknown possibilities, including all the possibilities that are theoretically non-zero, such as the fact that you have a private secondary plane and can open the plane in time to take refuge at the moment when the world wall collapses, which is one of the few ways you can survive. ”
Goron nodded silently, and did not continue to pursue the accusations of the Redstone Ancient Spirit for leading them to the path of nine deaths. It was his own will to leave that closed world, and the Redstone Spirits were only cooperating with him to realize their ideas, although it was a near-death path, but the one who took the steps was himself. What's more, igniting the Crucible World is also self-destructive for Redstone Spirits, and there is no malicious intent in it. Goron is already accustomed to the way of thinking of this kind of artificial intelligent body, so naturally he will not dwell on this matter.
Seeing that Goron and the Redstone Ancient Spirit were not hostile, the Metal Queen waved her hand slightly, and the weapon that the metal warrior had been pointing at the Ancient Spirit before was suddenly withdrawn, but there was still a golden female warrior staring at the Red Stone Ancient Spirit without the slightest relaxation.
Goron wanted to release the big boss and Cassandra who had been hiding on him for a long time, but after thinking about it, he still gave up this idea, and the little ogre instinctively didn't want the two women to meet the metal queen.
They were able to be saved this time entirely because these metal lifeforms came to the rescue in time, and this was not the first time that these metal women had come to their aid, the little ogre didn't feel the slightest hostility from them, but for some reason, Goron always instinctively had a trace of hostility towards them, and the other party seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him, especially the metal queen, whose attitude was almost worse than that of the little ogre.
But this time, at the moment of rescuing him from the burning world, the strange emotions revealed by the metal queen still made the little ogre have a very strange feeling.
Is it sadness, is it anger, is it pity, is it heartache, is it regret, or is it crazy self-blame?
Even the little ogre himself couldn't tell what this feeling was, but Goron instinctively felt the urge to run away from this "piece of iron" like a "woman"......
As if trying to escape something, Goron ignored the redstone spirits and looked around. This was the first time he had carefully observed his surroundings since he came here, and when he looked at it, he instantly threw his troubled thoughts out of the clouds.
Is this still his private plane space?
It doesn't seem like much time has passed since the last time the little ogre was forced to take refuge here, but the landscape has changed dramatically once again.
It is still a military building with a variety of metal styles, full of war atmosphere, and not lacking in romantic beauty, but the scale has expanded more than ten times. If the last time the little ogre saw only a bustling street that was beginning to take shape, then what he saw at this time was undoubtedly a real city, a fortress city full of vitality and a light and murderous aura hidden in the bustling fireworks.
It is not only the buildings that have changed, but also the environment and inhabitants of this dimensional space, although they are the homes forcibly taken away by the little ogre here, but these metal lifeforms are obviously taking care of this world very carefully, and the development of their civilization has entered the link of environmental transformation. I don't know what these women have done, the world is no longer as permeated with a faint sense of disobedience as before.
The sky and the earth, which had always had a false feeling, were still lifeless, but they were no longer the lifeless, cheap feeling of being like a set. It's like a real world.
But after two more glances, the shocked Goron still found something that was not very "harmonious", that is, the inhabitants of this plane, those metal women.
Although they are both inorganic life forms, compared with the people of Aizhe, who are full of strange shapes and only want to focus on death and silence, and look forward to the annihilation of their souls, the metal women are too similar to humans in terms of ecological personality habits and appearance. It's like a pure female humanoid race with a special skin color.
Although I don't know how these guys reproduce, compared to before, the number of metal women in this world has also increased explosively, and at a glance, the entire fortress city is bustling with people, and the flow of people is like a sea, which is not inferior to the human capital city in the outside world.
However, for some reason, Goron just felt that something was not right......
"The root of life in this world seems to be more lonely and thinner than the closed oven world I live in. ”
As Goron looked around, the Redstone Spirits were taking a closer look, even assessing the completely unfamiliar world. And Goron came to his own conclusions one step ahead of him.
In fact, the Redstone Spirits are also a shrunken version of the "Creator" of the miniature world, and compared to the Metal Queen, who has not been born for a long time, the Redstone Spirits, whose specific age is no longer verifiable, are obviously more experienced in world creation.
"The root of the world, can you see the root of the world?" only then did the metal queen shift her attention to this strange pure spiritual energy body, she was locating the plane coordinates of Goron, and when she carried out emergency rescue, she easily pulled the life forms around the little ogre into this secondary plane, and she didn't know the specific identities of those people before, after she looked the redstone spirit up and down, a trace of surprise flashed on the cold metal face.
"You, you have a virtual godhead! What the hell are you?"
"Virtual Godhead? No, I'm just trying to maintain the normal operation of the burning chamber, a small section of intelligent maintenance programs split from the ontology, and now that my mission is over, to be honest, even I don't know what kind of existence I am now...... I don't even know if my existence still makes sense......"
"You're looking for meaning to exist, okay, I'll give you one, do you have a way to help them improve the world?" It's just that as soon as he said this, even he himself was puzzled why he made such a suggestion.
Whether it is the metal queen or the redstone spirit, it is an existence that he has no control over for the little ogre, but he is the nominal owner of this world, and there are metal women who occupy the magpie's nest and forcibly occupy the secondary plane that belongs to him. It's just adding to the mess.
Just when Goron thought that the metal queen would be furious and protest, the other party accepted it silently after a little thought, and did not raise the slightest objection. On the contrary, the "homeless" Redstone Gu Spirit said: "If this is your wish, I am willing to accept it, but I need to state in advance, according to my calculations, although if I join, this underlying rule is not perfect, and the world full of flaws will be greatly improved, but the most fundamental problem, the problem that the root of the world of this secondary plane is very thin and fragile, is not something I can solve." ”
"What is the Root of the World, and what would the lack of that thing do to this place?" asked Goron curiously, but before the Redstone Spirit could answer, the metal queen on the side suddenly interrupted, "You really have time to grind here, do you know what the outside world has become?"
Goron suddenly woke up, where did he have time to spend here, he did not hesitate to light the closed oven before, and he had to leave the comfortable world where there was almost no danger to his life, didn't he just want to rush back to complete his mission as soon as possible.
"Is there still a way to the outside world?" Goron asked the metal queen unceremoniously, although there was still some resistance in his heart, but he already knew that these metal women were still on their side, at least for now, and were willing to provide some help to their "landlord". Now this situation can not be deliberately hypocritical.
The metal queen didn't talk nonsense, it seemed that she didn't want to get along with Goron for too long, but she stretched out her hand and pointed somewhere, and said in a cold tone: "The teleportation array is there, but because the coordinates are not stable, it is impossible to determine where the exit is, and it can only be guaranteed to be in the area of Montenegro." ”
Goron was already very satisfied with this answer, and was about to set off immediately, when the redstone spirit next to him suddenly interjected: "Wait a minute, do you still have redstone on you, if so, please leave me some, because my ability can only be fully utilized with the help of redstone." ”
He didn't care too much about the redstone spirit calling himself suddenly respectful, and the little ogre didn't talk nonsense, he took out some red stones from his tattoo and threw them on the ground, these are all the best products he selected from the oven world, and the quality and purity are excellent, many of them are the broken limbs and remains of the people of Aizhe, a bunch of heads, arms and thighs.
If these redstones were brought back to the Dota Continent, their value would naturally be immeasurable, but since the redstone spirit needed it, Goron did not hesitate to be stingy. It's just that I didn't expect the redstone Gu Ling to just pick out a few pieces and hold them in his hand, and said: "These are fine, what I need is not the energy contained in the redstone, so I don't need the quantity, it is enough to have these as the 'cornerstones'." ”
Goron didn't ask him what he wanted to do, he put away the redstone and looked at the Desert King lying on the ground.
