[Description: A new and unknown life, its form of existence is similar to that of the earth elemental, but it is harder than those brainless stone people, and the energy core of the head is capable of spewing pure energy streams, but it is also the greatest weakness. Because they are created and do not exist in nature, they will instinctively obey the instructions of the creator - of course, don't overestimate the wisdom of these guys, after all, there is no essential difference between a stone head and an iron head.www.biquge.info 】

[by――Steel element]

"Feel free to touch spirits."

Looking at the steel figure that showed surrender to him, Joshua couldn't help but recall the incident not long ago, when he touched the No. 3 magic projection, and the warrior repeated the explanation of the residual steel in the system, while nodding thoughtfully: "You can also pay some price to give life to matter." ”

"Because I poured the power of power into steel, is it the element of steel that appears? If I had touched water, fire, or air, it might have had a different outcome. ”

With a deep groan, the warrior smiled, "I don't know what price I paid, but it's funny, it's really interesting." ”

You must know that even if they are summoning magicians, they do not summon water elements and wind elements out of thin air, they all rely on the medium in their hands to call for the existence of another world, and although magicians who specialize in constructing bodies can also create steel puppets, they are very different from this steel element.

It may seem a little dull, but it's 'life'.

"Get up."

Although the steel figure looked like a puppet without intelligence, it could understand some commands, and the black-red spot of light on its head flickered for a moment, as if in response, and then obeyed Joshua's words and stood up steadily.

It is more than two meters tall, and when it stands upright, it is a head taller than Joshua, and its huge body is like a giant door with flashing light patterns, which is extremely strong at a glance, and it is a good material to resist pressure.

On the side, Hotaru had already triggered the magic in the Shapeless Fall, and a faint, but very precise fluctuation poured out of it, and then covered the huge body of the half-dragon, only to see that the black body gradually shrank under the influence of this magic, and finally in a burst of fluorescence, it became the size of an ordinary horse.

It was still in the extreme discomfort of seasickness, and even when it encountered this anomaly, it did not wake up, but because it felt that its surroundings had become 'spacious', Black instinctively stretched his body, stretched out his coiled tail, and the long tip of the tail touched the warrior's foot, and even wrapped it around.

“…… Hotaru, you go and call Rin over. ”

Helplessly breaking free of the black tail, Joshua turned his head and instructed the silver-haired girl, and Hotaru was curiously touching the shrunken black at this time, she stretched out her white little hand, nodded the golden core of the half-dragon's chest, and then said in surprise: "Master, this thing is not hot at all!" I always thought it was hot! ”

“…… Be careful, that's because I suppressed the energy in the black body just now, don't touch it next time, it's really hot. ”

How could the energy core of a fire-type dragon not be hot, even if the metal came into contact, it would dissolve and vaporize, seeing this scene, Joshua couldn't help frowning and shook his head, and the warrior repeated again: "You call Rin down, take care of Hei together, he should be in my room now, it's easy to find." ”

"Oh, okay."

Obediently agreed, the silver-haired girl immediately stood up, ready to walk towards the Gale Wind's accommodation area, and when she left, she curiously glanced at the metal figure standing silently on the side, and asked softly: "Master, what is this, I feel that there is a trace of your breath on it." ”

My breath? Is it because of the attribute of the 'dependent'?

Although he had doubts in his heart, the warrior couldn't be sure, so he shrugged his shoulders and replied casually, "I don't know, but since I created it, it's normal to have my breath." ”

"As for what it is...... I'm going to experiment. ”

Hotaru hurried towards the residential area with the sound of clattering footsteps, and Joshua began his experiments.

Strength, intelligence, speed, and warriors tested the steel element in every way, and the final result was subtle.

As the same system said, this steel element has silver-level strength, its body is extremely hard, even better than the ship's armor, but other than that, the steel element has no ability, the metal assimilation in the skill takes a few minutes to charge, Joshua ordered it to try to assimilate the other metal walls of the cargo hold, waited for a full five minutes, and saw that the wall was missing a part of the left and right of the palm, and it was completely meaningless in actual combat, or it could only rely on hand-to-hand combat.

The same goes for the transformation, just like when it had changed from a large steel plate to a human form, and if it weren't for Joshua's help, it would have taken at least ten minutes for this lump of iron to be transformed, which was too slow.

In terms of intelligence, the steel element has simple intelligence, and can understand orders such as attacking, defending, and standing still, but more complex ones cannot, and when there are no instructions, it will only stand in place and remain motionless, which is indeed a solid iron lump.

Speed, but it is a surprise, although the steel element looks very sluggish and stiff, but in fact the speed is unexpectedly fast, the warrior let it run back and forth in the cargo hold, eight hundred meters only takes a little more than a minute, the average silver warrior wearing armor can not reach this speed, and the endurance of the steel element is the same as the earth element, as long as the energy is sufficient, it is endless.

The energy jet in the skill, because it could not destroy the hull, so Joshua ordered the steel element to attack him, and the huge steel figure did not hesitate to attack, only to hear a murmur like an electric surge, and a dark red energy stream shot straight out from the spot of light on its head.

The warrior took it easily, he felt it, and felt that the power was in the past, the impact was roughly equivalent to a blow from a warrior of the same level using an ordinary weapon, although the temperature could not melt steel, but there were hundreds of degrees, and ordinary humans would definitely be severely burned when they touched it.

Overall, the strength of the steel element is indeed good, because the body is hard, the stamina is endless, and the performance on the battlefield may be a little higher, if it can be created in batches, then it is indeed a very good helper.

"It's true that it's almost the same as ordinary elemental life, with only the most basic intelligence...... I just don't know if I will be like the elders of the major elements, and slowly become smarter over time. ”

Clenching his left hand and letting it go, Joshua's face looked a little pity: "And after the change just now, the power of power disappeared completely, this kind of power is indeed impossible to grasp, is it because I haven't found a way to use it, or is it simply a time spirit that doesn't work?" ”

If he can use this power all the time, he can constantly create steel elements, although this existence is a bit stupid, but it is indeed very useful as a meat shield and striker in wartime, and it is impossible for a warrior to have too much.

"Come to think of it, you don't have a name yet."

Patting the steel elemental on the shoulder, Joshua said with a hint of a smile: "Just call you the first number, how about it?" ”

"Zizizi."

As if in response to Joshua's words, the light spots on the steel head flickered, emitting a slight noise, and at this time, with some chaotic footsteps, Hotaru also came to the cargo hold with a tired face.

As the warrior's butler, the black-haired boy was indeed in Joshua's room before, sorting out the documents summoned by Moldavia, but in fact, Rin's ability to deal with government affairs was better than that of the warrior, so as long as Joshua wanted to relax, he would let the boy work instead of him.

The warrior is relaxed, but it is bitter Rin, originally the god boy has to take care of Hei with Hotaru on weekdays, deal with the incident of the cultists with Miss No. 3, occasionally prepare his master's lunch and dinner, the study of the lord's mansion is relatively confidential, so he also cleans it, and Rin is so busy every day that he doesn't talk about it, and he has to deal with government affairs.

Therefore, occasionally when the teenager is busy, he will fall into self-doubt like his sister.

- Am I not a weapon?

- Why am I doing all this thing?

――What is the purpose of my existence......

Of course, unlike Hotaru's occasional confusion, the silver-haired girl is mainly idle and has nothing to do, so she doubts the meaning of her existence, while the black-haired boy is too busy and wants to escape from reality.

"Hey, this big guy ......"

As soon as he opened the door, Rin saw the steel element, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously said, "How can you have a trace of the master's breath?" ”

Hotaru said the same thing.

Touching his chin, Joshua turned his head and asked with some confusion: "Thank you for your hard work, Rin, but the aura on this guy's body is so obvious that you can see at a glance that it has something to do with me?" ”

The warrior himself really couldn't feel it, in his senses, the aura of this steel element was very pure, if it didn't have a dark red energy flow on its body, it would be a large piece of iron at all.

"It's obvious."

The black-haired boy nodded seriously, he struggled with the vocabulary for a while, and then said slowly: "It's not breath, but as long as you look at it, you can immediately know that it must be related to you, the master, as if it is instinct." ”

"Is that so......" Narrowing his eyes, Joshua turned his head to look at the steel elemental that was still motionless, "It seems that it is the relationship of the 'dependents'." ”

However, this kind of thing didn't matter, the warrior didn't think much about it, and the attribute card of the first number also changed slightly at this time.

【First Steel Element】

[Race: Steel Elemental, Dependent]

At this moment, the entire Gale began to vibrate slightly, and a powerful wave of demonic energy poured out from the heart of the furnace in front of it, as if it was activating some huge magic circle.

For a time, space-time was distorted, and violent spatial fluctuations spread everywhere.

"The teleportation has begun." Hotaru said softly, the silver-haired girl's eyes lit up slightly at this time, and she looked very excited: "I don't know how long it will take to get to the Far South, I'm already a little impatient!" ”

Ever since she knew that Joshua had gone to the Far South to help the Church of the Seven Gods defend itself against the dragon, the silver-haired girl had been very happy, and although Rin didn't say anything, she looked the same.

Hotaru is so happy because she has been idle for so long and can finally fight and move, while Rin feels that she can finally be liberated from the hell of official work and relax her spirit.

And looking at the cheering gods, Joshua also showed a smile of expectation, Hotaru and Rin wanted to prove the meaning of their existence, why shouldn't he be like this? The thought of the endless dragon battle made the warrior clench his fists and jump to the challenge.

Of course, he quickly got rid of this expectation, Qiao Siya looked sideways at the side and looked much better, at this time he was sleepwalking and flicking his tail, shaking his head and saying: "As soon as I get smaller, I feel a lot more energetic, it seems that I am too big, and I am a little hypoxic when I fly so high." ”

In any case, the black matter was solved, and it also brought out the mutation of the power of power, and the warrior gained a lot this time.

But the next few days were a bit uneventful.

Along the way, Joshua has been trying to mobilize the power in his body, and by the way, he has asked the First to cooperate with the mages on the ship to do various experiments.

These mages from the Royal Mage Guild were very interested in the unknown life of the steel element, and they didn't ask Joshua when he brought this guy up, but just did a whole set of magic checks on the silent primordial, and the results were similar to what the system said, not much different.

However, in addition, these mages have discovered an interesting phenomenon - the black and red lines on the body of the first number can absorb the magical energy in the atmosphere to maintain their own existence, and in the environment of high concentration of magic power, the original statue-like first number will actively seek metal assimilation and increase its size.

"This is probably how they grow, and they are self-reinforcing by absorbing magic, and they do have the characteristics of elemental life."

This was the conclusion reached by a mage, and he was very optimistic about the future of the first number: "But generally speaking, it takes nearly a hundred years for the earth element that is most similar to it to grow from a silver-level to a gold-level giant earth element, and the growth rate of this steel element is almost ten times that of it, and it can continue to accelerate in a high-concentration magic environment."

Joshua was also satisfied, which meant that the steel element could grow, and at a much faster rate than its counterparts.

Through the summoning of the large teleportation array, the Gale continuously teleported and jumped, because the empire had already greeted the forces along the way, so there were no accidents along the way, but except for the occasional need to fly to the teleportation range of the next large teleportation array, Joshua and his party basically repeated the whole process of 'opening the space-time gate', 'passing through the space-time gate' and 'opening the space-time gate again', and they didn't even see much of the scenery outside.

After passing through the southern fortress of the empire, the edge of the western mountains, the gathering place of the dwarves of the hills, the kingdoms of the western mountains, and the Nako Mountains, the people finally approached their destination.

Starfall 833, July 1.

Joshua arrived in the Far South.
