Players’ NPC daddy.

"I'm here now." Blaze shrugged, but he knew Chicken understood what he was thinking.

When faced with this kind of monster disaster, the human camp had no position to speak of. If the Holy Cross Theocracy couldn't deal with the sea of ​​serpents immediately, he, a passerby, would handle it.

"Nessus, charge with me when I give the order. Pick up as much as you can from the ground, but don't be too greedy."

"Oh, oh!" Nessus nodded in confusion.

Blaze exhaled, opened his mouth towards the sea of ​​snakes, and a large amount of fire elements gathered in his mouth.

[Use this fire, challenge the sun!] is Blaze's most powerful ranged attack, both incinerating and at full power, sweeping are incredibly effective against the sea of ​​snakes.

In the cold and damp sea of ​​snakes, a snake felt tired, and its soul, which had just awakened, felt a burning heat.

Is that the sun?

Before the snake could get an answer, it was thrown into the light. The moment its filthy body was burned to ashes, its soul felt the warmth.

How great is the owner of this sun.

"Come on!"

Blaze gave the order and charged forward, followed closely by Chicken and Nessus.

Chicken and Nessus pick up as many drops as possible, while Blaze pinches Soul Flame.

The sea of ​​snakes was endless, and even more snakes were hidden in the swamp below. When the snakes above were burned to death, the ones below would immediately emerge. So in just a few tens of seconds, the huge gap that had been blasted out began to wriggle and slowly recover.

"Escape!"

Blaze shouted and ran, picking up his props as he ran. They rushed out at the last moment before being submerged by the sea of ​​snakes.

"This, this is too dangerous." Nessus felt a little scared as he looked at the wriggling sea of ​​snakes.

"It's okay. Next time we'll learn from our mistakes and run away sooner."

Blaze dusted himself off and said something in a nonchalant tone that made Nessus feel as if he were falling into an icy cave.

"Next, when is the next time?"

"I'll finish this MP recovery potion."

Chapter 322 The Ultimate Single Night

The Centaurs regard weapons as their companions, but because there are so few blacksmiths, they can only inherit weapons from their fathers.

Of course, since centaurs are born from clouds, the parents here refer to the older centaurs.

Weapons have a lifespan, and as time passes, the number of single centaurs increases.

At this time, the hidden village of centaurs welcomed their savior, who distributed weapons and ensured that every centaur had his own partner.

The savior is naturally Blaze.

He lit the furnace and used the materials dropped from the Sea of ​​Serpents to give the discarded weapons new life. However, because his [Forger] was still at the lowest level, the success rate of reviving the discarded weapons was a bit low, but fortunately, regardless of success or failure, he would gain experience points.

The number of monsters in the Serpent Sea is astonishing, but relatively speaking, most of the monsters are of very low level, most of them are around LV20, so the quality of the dropped materials is not high, not to mention the experience points they can provide.

Fortunately, the prayer [Use this fire, challenge the sun!], after reaching its maximum charge, was incredibly powerful, destroying the powerful monster hidden in the sea of ​​serpents in one blow, preventing Blaze from returning empty-handed.

[Black Beast Knight Blaze LV82+1]

【职业：镇魂骑士（残缺）LV5/巨剑使LV13/格斗家LV15/守夜人LV3/猎魔骑士（白银）LV1/猎人LV15/暗杀者LV14/锻造师（火兔）LV14/大力士（衔尾蛇）LV2/白银之王LV1】

For three hours, Blaze repeated the process of recovering his MP and using Fire Prayer to burn the sea of ​​serpents. Although he could only crush one or two soul flames at a time, the experience points he gained from doing it many times were considerable.

That's the price...

Blaze looked back at Nessus. The human part had turned completely gray and white, his face dull, but the horse part was fine. After all, he had relied on these four legs to run wildly for the past three hours.

But Nessus was not entirely without gain.

[Centaur Nessus LV70]

All life forms except humans have levels, and they gain experience points through combat or training. When you run faster than your previous self, you gain experience points.

The experience of hovering on the line between life and death for three hours allowed Nessus to gain a lot of experience points.

Seeing Blaze looking over, Nessus came back to his senses and asked tremblingly, "Blaze, how many times do we have to go through this?"

Blaze wanted to answer that he would not return until he completed Chiron's assessment or reached the Extremes, but he knew that if he did so, Nessus would feel hopeless and out of reach.

But lying is not good, so Blazer decided to come up with another plan.

That is no answer, spiritual encouragement, and material temptation.

"Nessus, don't you feel the changes in your body? Your muscles are gleaming right now!"

"Have you forgotten what the Centaur's faith is? It's muscle. You are carrying out your faith and celebrating the climax of your life! How can you shrink and retreat before reaching that peak?"

"You can't do it anymore?"

Nessus noticed the strange looks from the surrounding centaurs. His face immediately flushed, and he puffed out his chest and shouted, "I'm good!"

"Yes, you are very capable. And look at this!" Blaze took out the embryo of a greatsword. "This is my reward for you. I will use the snake bones and fangs that fell from the sea of ​​​​snakes to tailor a weapon for you, but this weapon is not something you can lift with your current attributes."

"Do you know what you should do next?"

“Keep running for you!”

"Very good, very energetic." Blaze breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he had successfully fooled Nessus.

To be honest, he was not good at this kind of thing, but fortunately, the brain structure of the Centaur was relatively simple, so he just had to put together a few sentences around muscles.

"So, will you come back to Piliwen Cave with me later?"

Nessus, who had been shouting "I'm good, I'm strong", immediately became wilted and waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he couldn't stand that kind of place.

"That place is too far away from nature. We Centaurs are a people who live close to nature."

Blaze didn't force it. After all, with the help of the [Kronos Gear], he only needed to stay in the Pirwin Cave for a few minutes to complete more than four hours of training. He could just let Nessus wait around for a while.

At this time, the Centaur leader invited Blaze to participate in their special Centaur event, mainly to thank Blaze for rescuing countless bachelors.

This special event is held for centaurs who have been lonely and empty for many years. It is a singles night party to commemorate the end of their single life.

Blaze was quite curious about this kind of thing, especially after realizing that Centaurs were actually good at hand-to-hand combat, he wanted to see it for himself and hoped to learn from it.

Of course, if Blaze had known that the Centaur's bachelor party would be seamlessly connected to a battle with flushed faces, brandishing weapons and engaging in a [First Night Ceremony], he would have politely declined.

Blaze had already joined the lively bachelor party, cheering for the centaurs' wonderful fight. But when the centaurs drew their weapons and wore smiles that could make the elves scream with excitement, Blaze finally realized what kind of trouble he had gotten himself into.

For Centaurs, using hands to fight is equivalent to using hands to satisfy their desires, and the bachelor party is a final outburst by everyone using their own hands to say goodbye to being single.

Then it seamlessly transitions into the first large-scale armed combat, which is also the first time for other creatures.

This is a scene that is difficult to describe in words.

But Blaze had agreed to participate, so he sat there and watched. Because he forced himself to continue watching, Blaze was forced to understand the Centaur's behavior.

For intelligent creatures, the Centaurs' thoughts are undoubtedly vulgar and unbearable to watch. But this is the Centaurs' way of thanking themselves for their birth. They sing and dance, and use battles to tell every wonderful minute of their lives.

Isn’t there a saying that the instinct of life is reproduction?

Then there is probably no other nation in this world that can better interpret life and love living more than the Centaurs.

"We are in the happiest moment of our lives every minute of every second. This is a gift that other races cannot envy! Therefore, we must love life and nature more than any other race!"

The Centaur Chief raised the Goblin Village's special wine glass and drank the spring water from the Celisa Valley in one gulp.

"This is a rare opportunity. Let's have a fierce fight and celebrate life together!"

"Oh oh oh-"

Blaze stood up silently. To those who didn't know, what was about to happen was just a passionate battle, but to him, an insider...

What was about to happen next was beyond description.

Chapter 323 Artificial Life

"I am back."

Blaze successfully entered the hidden space of the Pilwen Cave. It seemed that because he was not there before, the interior had returned to the style of the Age of Gods.

It seems that people in the Age of Gods are accustomed to using white. Although it looks clean and tidy, it has a lingering feeling of emptiness and coldness, which makes Blaze, who is used to living in a colorful world, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Teacher, if you keep living in a place like this, you will become mentally unhealthy."

"He'll definitely answer by saying he's a god, Graham, and doesn't have a life or a heart."

"I think so too." Blaze and Chicken smiled at each other, and they had a perfect understanding.

Blaze waited for a while, but Chiron still didn't show up, so he just wandered around. While looking for Chiron, he looked around curiously at the Age of Gods civilization around him.

After pretending to study it carefully, Blaze concluded that the essence of the Age of Gods was numbers, lots of numbers. The technology of the Age of Gods was probably built up from countless numbers, complex and profound.

Gumbling—

Suddenly, a bubbling sound was heard, and Blaze walked over curiously.

It was an extremely dim room, and the sound of bubbles rising from several huge hollow crystals filled with liquid was constantly coming out.

Blaze took a few steps closer, but still couldn't make out the contents. It seemed it wasn't just the dimness, but the liquid within the crystal itself had the ability to block vision.

"What's in here?" Blaze squinted his eyes and looked for a long time without making any sense, so he simply encouraged the chicken, "How about you leave your body and go in to take a look?"

"I don't want to. What if these liquids are something strange? My noble soul will be defiled!" The chicken immediately expressed resistance.

At this time, a tall figure appeared behind them, with blue light emitting from his eyes.

"It contains nutrient solution."

"Teacher?" Blaze turned around and found it was Chiron.

"What's in here?"

"Centaur embryo."

"Oh." Blaze didn't react for a moment, but the chicken immediately understood.

"Embryos?! You're making centaurs?"

Blazer was stunned by the chicken's words. Isn't the so-called embryo the initial appearance of life? Why would there be a centaur embryo in Chiron's residence, and it was sealed in a crystal column?

Shouldn't all life be born in the mother's womb?

Chiron did not answer, but directly lit up the entire space. The crystal pillars lit up, allowing people to see clearly what was inside.

Blaze's eyes widened. Inside the crystal pillars were infant centaurs. Not infant centaurs, but growing embryos. He wasn't foolish enough to assume Chiron was experimenting on centaurs. He considered another possibility.

"The centaur's child... was sent here by the clouds... Did you create the centaur?"

"The new human, the Centaur model, possesses both the perfect human body temperature regulation system and the powerful breathing ability of the horse. It is predicted to have the highest survivability."

Chiron detected Blaze's breathing disorder, but he didn't understand it and thought it was caused by his incomplete explanation, so he told the truth.

"After the Age of Gods was destroyed by the Codename Titans, the Ark of Salvation was also destroyed. My mission is to continue the flame of the Age of Gods. So I began to try to create new humans from the Age of Gods, and the model Centaur is the perfect new human."

"But I took too long, and new humans were born. I judged that the survival of humanity could not be threatened, so I stopped mass production of centaurs. I will only create centaurs when the number of centaurs changes."

Chiron made his point very clear, but the idea of ​​creating life was too advanced for Blaze.

Life possesses a soul, and the soul is incomparably noble, a manifestation of life's freedom. The birth of the soul is a miracle of the world. And the soul is always born with life. This has always been the rule, and it is even the main theme expressed by the Golden Forest.

But Chiron is creating life, and the centaurs he creates all have souls.

Chiron refuted the statement that the birth of life was a miracle.

"Why not create female centaurs and let them reproduce freely?"

"Natural reproduction is full of randomness, and most of the options are wrong." Chiron opened his palm, and many pictures were projected from the center of his palm, showing the lives of the centaurs.

Centaurs, except for attacking human caravans and stealing food to avoid disrupting the balance of nature, do not harm humans at other times. Although they sometimes show expressions that frighten or misunderstand people, they are mostly positive and kind.

Without exception.

"I made adjustments to their fetal state to ensure they wouldn't become evil."

Blaze covered his head, speechless for a moment. He saw the Black Beast Knight reflected in the crystal column. They seemed to be standing face to face, with billions of pieces of paper flying between them.

The Centaurs were laughing, marveling at the miracle of their arrival in this world, and proud of their own uniqueness, but...

"Did you create their personalities, their joys, their sorrows?"

"I am a child-rearing robot. To educate new lives is the purpose of my creation."
