The so-called power of steel is one of the most primitive and extensive forces in the world.

In myths and legends, the initial fire and the steel of origin forged the entire Mycrov world, and all materialized existences, especially the supreme of all things, originated directly from the steel of origin.

The more innate vitality the creature is, the stronger the "steel" contained in its body will be. However, no matter how strong the "steel" is, it is inactive and cannot be controlled by human will. Ordinary ** training cannot stimulate this innate power. Only through special rituals or the stimulation of life and death can there be a chance of stimulation. This is the [Iron Revelation] that all warriors must experience. As long as they succeed, they can advance from mortals to black iron-level professions.

For humans alone, the chance of awakening success is very high. Theoretically, as long as they are living creatures, no matter how weak they are, they have the possibility of stimulating "steel". However, life that is too weak, such as insects and mice, is likely to die at the same time as they are successful in awakening.

The creatures that have successfully awakened will become stronger due to the activation of the "power of steel" in their bodies, but this strength will not be fed back to their body shape. People who have successfully awakened may look thin but can split steel with bare hands.

However, it is difficult to increase the quantity and quality of steel in the body by relying solely on their own training and without relying on external objects. For most warriors and knights who have no inheritance, bathing in the blood of monsters and eating their flesh is the fastest way to obtain steel. This is a dangerous and dangerous road. As long as you step on it, it means endless killing and death. The reason why there are hundreds of silver knights in the north is that they have fought with monsters all year round, and their forces plundered and devoured each other, allowing these knights without inheritance to gain power that can break through their physical limits.

“…different from humans.”

After observing for a while, Clayel nodded slowly. From her knowledge, she could naturally see that the girl lying on the bed was not a normal life: "Artificial alchemy life?"

But Nostradamus's body shook slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Jothia, is this little girl your magic machine?"

The existence of the divine machine is not a secret to these empire senior officials. As the chief magistrate of the empire, Nostradamus participated in the design of the previous generation of divine machine. He is not unfamiliar with the form of the silver-haired girl in front of him, and he can even be said to be quite familiar with it.

"No," Joshua replied simply: "She is my magic machine, Firefly."

Looking at the two people with serious expressions, the warrior walked to the silver-haired girl's body. He went to the bedside and touched his divine machine's forehead: "I don't talk much nonsense. Since the last time I broke the time and space gate, Firefly's condition has been not very good. He couldn't wake up from sleep around the beginning of January. Although her condition did not seem to have deteriorated, I still felt very worried. Will it be any sequelae?"

Joshua turned to look at the female druid: "Ms. Clayel said before that my residence had a chaotic aura, which reminded me of the abnormal situation that happened to Firefly. Now it seems that there is indeed a certain connection."

"It's not necessarily the cause of the power of chaos."

Nostradamus frowned and looked at the girl in front of him. He stroked his beard and felt that he didn't know what to say: "Joshya... If I remember correctly, you should have inherited the title of Frost Fall Moon last year, and Flying Snow Moon became the guardian of Chaos. At that time, you were only at the initial level of gold, and your divine machine should be only at the middle and high level of silver. If you became the high level of gold, you could still explain it with continuous battles and the "traits" of warriors, but your divine machine has entered the second stage!"

The white-haired mage said in a rare tone of exclamation: "The Radcliffe family has been guarding the Time and Space Sect in the North for 400 years. Not every generation of family heads can successfully advance the Shenji to the second stage, but it only took you three months, this..."

Shaking his head, after saying that, the old mage continued to observe carefully: "You said that your divine machine has been sleeping until now during the advancement process? This is indeed not necessarily the cause of chaos. Instead, it should be due to the failure to digest the power you provided to her. Let me continue to see..."

On the other side, Clayel's expression was not good. The elf beauty who didn't know how old she was is now frowning and biting her nails, as if she was thinking about something.

Reasonably ignoring the childish behavior of the other party biting his fingernails, Joshua looked at Clayel's expression and couldn't help but remember some of the druids in his previous life: "Does the druids of the earth support the emergence of alchemy life?"

Hearing the warrior’s question, Clayel shook her head, she thought for a while, and then said: “Biobies mating, producing descendants, and creating alchemy life with humans, are the same natural rules and progress. I just wonder why the steel power on her body is so strong.”

Speaking of this, the elf druid subconsciously raised his finger again: "Artificial life should not be like this..."

"As before, the stagnant and non-flowing force of steel?"

Frowning, Joshua whispered: "Is it because of this power that Firefly cannot complete the advancement and cannot wake up?"

According to the Druid's previous words, the stagnant steel power was infected by chaos, which is likely to lead to problems in the advanced process.

"I don't know."

Clayel shook his head: "You should ask him." After that, she pointed to the old mage not far away.

The two of them turned their eyes to the old mage who was concentrating and thinking hard at the same time.

Nostradamus had a solemn expression. As the chief master of the empire, the original sixth generation of divine machine was developed and put into practice by him. The divine machine "Mercy" used by Joshua's father, which is the core design drawing of the old housekeeper, was made by him. The old master knew very well about the divine machine, but even he could not analyze the reason for the firefly's sleep in such a short time.

With one hand stretched out, a purple light flashed, Nostradamus released a high-level energy exploration technique to the firefly on the bed, but after the exploration, his expression became even more strange: "The energy core is still changing? Ordinary advancement is only four or five days, which is already ten times the standard time. Where can such a huge power come from?"

If the transformation is successful, how powerful will this magical machine be?

Feeling the look of Joshua next to him, the old master thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Joshua, I said one possibility, and only one possibility."

He was not sure: "The reason why your divine machine is sleeping should be that the accumulated power is too much, which leads to too much energy pressure when upgrading, which makes her core unable to digest quickly, and can only be slowly resolved... If this power can be reduced a little, then she should be able to wake up soon."

"But where does this power come from?"

Joshua was indeed a little confused, so: "If I had advanced to the high gold level, I shouldn't have been sleeping for so long."

"You should ask where your power comes from." Nostradamus sighed, and he looked straight into the warrior's eyes and slowly said, "When destroying the time and space gate, how many chaos monsters did you kill? How many thousands? Tens of thousands? At least two golden monsters were killed? Ordinary people will kill you for a lifetime, and they will not kill you for more than two minutes."

He seriously warned Joshua: "Don't underestimate the mutual plunder and accumulation between 'steel's'. The power obtained by killing these monsters is even more terrifying than you think. As for why these powers are infected by chaos... I forgive me not to see for the time being, but it should have something to do with the time and space gate."

After a moment of silence, Joshua whispered, "So, how to resolve it?"

"... It's very simple." After a while of silence, the old mage showed a strange smile. He looked at the warrior's tall body and seemed to have thought of something: "Joshya, as long as you awaken another divine machine and let it share this power, even if you can't fully awaken the girl, at least it can accelerate her advancement process."

"Wake up another magic machine..."

Nodded thoughtfully, Joshua silently,

"If other people cannot bear the load brought by the two divine machines, but you are different." Nostradamus smiled very happily: "You should be one of the best talented warriors in the history of the empire. If it were you, you would definitely bear the load of the two divine machines."

The warrior closed his eyes: "Let me think about it."

——A few days later.

As the chief teacher of the empire, Nostradamus has a lot of affairs. Due to the existence of a large number of space-time gates in the north, he could not use teleportation spells at will, so he could only set off back to the capital as soon as possible. The elf of Clayel Wind Song, the druid, stayed. She was preparing to purify the power of chaos near Moldavia and Moldova, and investigated soil and air samples near the Black Forest every day.

And the main city, Beppu in the west of the city, in the bedroom on the second floor.

“…is you still sleeping?”

The maids had just replaced the firefly's bed with brand new mats and quilts, while Joshua sat beside the bed of his weapon. He reached out and pinched the silver-haired girl's face, and then said to himself expressionlessly: "You guy, you haven't woken up yet, I'll get another magic machine."

After saying that, Joshua chuckled: "You are jealous then, don't blame me for not using you."

Buzz. As if responding to what the warrior said before, a slight buzzing sound came from Firefly.
