Chapter 291 The Man I Look Up To

Unlike the world of Ilgna, which is full of heavy rain, haze and thunder, the night in Moldavia is warm and quiet. The dry summer wind blows from the western hills and wilderness, passing through the empty streets, except for the bright stone lamp. , the whole city has no light at all.

Except one place.

Lord's House.

The Lord's Mansion in the city center is still brightly lit at night, and on the third floor of the mansion, next to Joshua's study, there is a strange room filled with many complicated magic circles. It was drawn by the masters, and some of them were even drawn by Nostradamus himself. In the center of the magic circle all over the room, where all the magic power converges, a violet crystal rune core is embedded here.

The crystal shone with a hazy brilliance, and a petite figure floated above it.

Miss Artificial Intelligence seems to be asleep now, with her eyes slightly closed, her knees hugged and suspended above her body, and runes circled her side, flashing and disappearing, as if she was offering protection.

If you just take a quick look, No. 3 is no different from before, but if you observe carefully, you will find that the girl's delicate facial features are slightly softer than the doll-like delicateness before, almost pale. The transparent skin also has a little bloody rosiness, and the long blue hair floating in the air dances with the wind as if it were real, not to mention the gothic dress that obviously referenced many costumes.

Compared with the projections of the phantom that can be seen at a glance, the images of Miss Artificial Intelligence in sleep are now more than real. Human observations over the past few days have made her more and more like a real human being, not artificial. mind.

However, as if startled by something, the originally dormant rune crystals began to flicker and began to function, and No. 3 also slowly opened his eyes, with a faint blue light shining in the pupils.

"Intruders."

She said lightly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Are those cultists again, they always come and go in the middle of the night."

After speaking, with a flash of light, the image of the girl disappeared in place, leaving only the violet rune spar still in motion.

And in the distance, in the civilian areas on the edge of the city.

The six men in black were sneaking rapidly, heading towards the inner city.

Since Joshua van Radcliffe foiled the operation in the imperial capital a few days ago, the religious order has gradually shifted the focus of the sacrifice to Moldavia in order to retaliate against the warrior who destroyed their plan, but Because the Northland is too far away from the church, there are too few believers who can reach it, so they can only focus on the main city to facilitate the gathering of personnel.

But just as they were running and planning follow-up actions in their hearts, a petite figure silently appeared above their heads accompanied by a wave of magic power. They were fixed in place by a human immobilization spell, and at the same time as the magic power poured out, the other five men in black had been knocked unconscious in place by the air hammer.

The dress fluttered in the wind, No. 3 stretched her waist in a very humane way, and yawned again, the girl's expression looked a little boring: "It's another group of weak scum, vulnerable bugs... Qiao Xiu What Yaping said is quite useful, these words are very interesting."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to be amused by her own words again, but although No. 3 was smiling, she didn't stop her hands. When the girl's gesture changed, the six cultists seemed to be put on an invisible shackle. They were dragged by a certain existence and rolled towards the cathedral in the city center. At the same time, the paladins on duty also received the news. They hurried out and saw six unconscious black-robed monsters lying at the door.

"The lord left behind is really powerful."

Some paladins kicked these unconscious heretics in disgust, and a paladin couldn't help but exclaimed, he looked very excited: "My lord has only been out for a few days, and heretics have sneaked into the city at least five times, but every time It was discovered by that mysterious master every time."

"Yeah, these damn bastards are always hard to guard against. No matter how sophisticated the patrol is, they can avoid them, but none of them can escape the eyes of that mysterious master."

Another paladin agreed, flexing his wrist. "What about these guys now?"

"The old method, take it into the dungeon, and wait for interrogation by Lord Artanis tomorrow morning."

The little storm at night passed like this, but the winged girl had no intention of resting. No. 3 flapped her wings and flew over Moldavia. She gently watched the city and the people living in it. , all the people living here have a look of concern and... envy in their eyes.

She is an artificial intelligence, which has been determined since she was created more than a thousand years ago and embedded in the core of the Action Fortress. The fact that she has a real soul is just an accident. No one This is to be expected.

Perhaps, being an artificial intelligence has many benefits, such as not having to worry about fatigue or diet, as long as the mana is sufficient, she can always be awake and energetic, her thinking speed is far beyond ordinary people, and she can even pay attention to all the people in the whole city at the same time. Every move of a person.

But the girl is really getting bored——

She wants to be human.

A real person who can touch, breathe, be touched, communicate normally with others, stand down to the ground, and hug other people.

It is not a very important wish, nor is it a goal that must be achieved. The artificial intelligence girl just wants to be a human being out of curiosity. In the form of a real human being, Hotaru and Rin stood by his side.

This is not a lofty ideal, nor is it a real hope. It is just a fleeting and insignificant idea in the girl's mind.

Landing in the lord's mansion, the girl walked through the empty corridors. The maids and servants also went to rest in the middle of the night. Apart from the footsteps of a few patrolling guards, there was no other sound in the mansion.

From the third floor to the second floor, and then walked to the lobby on the first floor, No. 3 stopped suddenly. She saw a pair of decorative armor placed beside the corridor. This armor had rigid lines, and was unusually tall. To see the whole picture, you need to look up.

It's really similar, just like that time...

An image of a person flashed in my mind, and Miss Artificial Intelligence wanted to reach out and touch the armor for some reason.

But her hand went through.

Slightly startled, No. 3 realized that she is just a projection now, no matter how much she looks like a human being, no matter how much she imitates a human being, it still cannot change the fact that she is just a phantom.

It seems that the distance is still a bit far.

Sighing faintly, No. 3 raised her head, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she remained silent, returned to the room on the third floor, and continued to sleep.

And in the world of Ilgna.

The earth is trembling.

Huge monsters walk among the hills.

Lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the land on the outskirts. It could be seen that a huge rock giant with a height of 100 meters was in the distance. people move forward.

The existence of that person is like a lighthouse in the distance. Although the light is weak, it can penetrate the fog. After realizing this disgusting breath, the first target of all the puppets has changed. Instead, they flocked to the capital of Babel Province.

The stone demons stopped attacking. They gave up the city walls and puppets that were about to break through. They didn't care about the frantic pursuit of the elves behind them. They just obeyed the rules in their minds, acted naturally, and gathered in one place.

And in the team of countless puppets, giants appeared one after another. They were composed of hundreds of stone puppets, and there were also many mithril and adamantine puppets. They had supernatural powers that ordinary people could not imagine. In the war with the elves in the past, this method has never been used, but now, because of the appearance of that breath, this combination, which can be called the final method of the stone demon, is also used without hesitation.

In the weak space caused by the cracks in time and space, the infinite magic power surged, allowing these giants to have enough power in this element-poor world. There was a rumbling sound, and as time went by, there were more and more giants, and the first stone giant Also came to the territory of Babel Province.

Because the haze was too thick and the fog was too dense, none of the observation circles noticed this scene. The elf cities that finally got rid of the entanglement of stone demons were all rejoicing and panting. Although they wondered why, they didn't People care about that.

On the outskirts of the capital, the black dragon had sensed something was wrong early on. It slowly got up and looked around suspiciously. Its instinct was warning it to leave as soon as possible. This place was extremely dangerous and could die at any time.

But how could Hei have the character of fleeing in embarrassment because of instinct? No matter how dangerous it is, it has to see who the enemy is before deciding on its next move.

What's more, now that the owner is with it, no matter how dangerous it is, it is no longer scary.

As time goes by, even the outskirts of the capital can feel the earth shaking. This is not an earthquake, but the sound of rhythmic footsteps. Not only black, but even the elves in the capital have discovered this. In the center, the little boy expressed his feelings to his parents with some fear, and the nervous girl asked her boyfriend if he felt the same way, and the paladin who was still helping the elves in the ruins also raised his head and looked into the distance.

The footsteps became heavier and heavier, and the vibrations became louder and louder, until finally, an exclamation came from the mayor's office, which controlled the monitoring circle.

"Oh my god! This, what is this?!"

The voice was extremely panicky, and there was a trace of hidden despair. The others hurriedly put aside the work in their hands and looked towards the place where the voice came from.

But what was displayed on the screen was a colossal giant walking in stride.

This monster is more than 100 meters tall, and its body is made up of irregular rocks. Countless stone demons gather in one place to form a colossus that can trample hills down. With its actions, the forest is destroyed, and the river It was cut off, and the passing villages and small cities were easily trampled into ruins. Two huge light spots flickered on its head, releasing obvious energy fluctuations.

The alarm sounded immediately, the bell in the center of the city was set back, and almost exhausted shouts came from the magic circle, asking all the people to go back to the shelters to hide, but there was no confidence in their voices, that kind of colossus only needs to be stepped on It can easily crush all the elves in a refuge, but now there is no other way.

Faced with such a disaster, they are helpless.

With the help of the superiority of the body with supernatural powers, both Ying and Rin can see the huge energy source and fluctuations in the distance. The brows of the boys and girls are frowned at the same time, Rin's face is serious, and Ying's face is also full of awe.

"This kind of power is more than ten times stronger than that demon in the imperial capital..."

The black-haired boy was calculating, and the silver-haired girl nodded in agreement: "But compared with Master Nostradamus, it lacks a touch of charm. It's not extreme, it's just very strong gold."

In this case, it should be nothing. Just when the two of them were relieved, more and more huge energy sources appeared in the distance, which immediately made Ying and Rin's complexions stiff, full of disbelief.

"Why so many?!"

"This number, twelve?! Still increasing?!"

Even the two who had seen the big wind and waves couldn't help being a little stunned. Although the colossus hadn't reached the realm of ultimate intent, the difference in pure power was not much different. , even they feel that it is too much.

Not to mention the weak armed forces in this world, even if they return to the Mycroft Continent, this is a group of war machines that the empire can attach great importance to!

Just when Yilong and the two were a little panicked, a voice pierced through the rain curtain and reached their ears.

"Okay, don't panic."

A figure walked out of the dark mist, and the heavy rain poured down, but none of the rain fell on this person. He didn't pay attention to the huge giant statues that kept appearing in the distance, but calmly said: "It's just a bunch of stupid big guys. Get ready to fight."

And hearing this voice, both Banlong and Shenji seemed to have a backbone, and they responded in unison, full of fighting spirit.

Standing in the wilderness, with his back to the city of elves, the black-haired warrior looked at the rock giant looming in the distance in the mist and darkness, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an excited smile.

The reason why a brave man is called a brave man is not because he is not afraid of difficult and powerful enemies.

But because of his existence itself, it will bring fighting spirit and courage to others.

"This is the life I'm looking forward to."
