"Hmm?" Leon looked viciously at the evil-minded Canary.
"What's that book about?" he asked them both at the same time.
"It's about a large family living together," Zoe replied.
"and then?"
"They live on an island where it's only summer, and they're happy every day, so they do happy things together."
This kind of description? Wait, could it be...
Li Ang was almost breathless: "Those things you did and said before, weren't they all from this book?!"
Something that tastes good, something about holding up your shoes and pointing your feet at him, waiting for him to transform into a beast...
This family really knows how to have fun.
Leon felt that he had made the biggest mistake since landing on the island of the Helm City, which was that he did not trust this guy's ability to cause trouble.
"Dorothy."
Combined with some strange reactions of a certain canary before, Leon was sure that this guy with a brain full of garbage must know the contents of the book.
Dorothy was speechless for a moment when she saw the sharp gaze cast at her by her lover.
Li Ang was not too anxious, but he did not let her go either. He just looked at her quietly.
After a long silence, the half-elf gnashed his silver teeth and said tremblingly, "I, I'll tell you..."
"The Never-Ending Summer" is indeed a work of art, but it is also very explicit.
It tells the story of the love and hatred between large families without the pressure of survival on a fertile island with eternal summer, and delves deeply into the subtleties of human nature.
It has a high literary level, and some passages often appear in the notes of female students in Qianta City, but boys also like to read it. Except for a few literary youths, the purpose of most guys is naturally to read the unspeakable things between the nobles in the book.
Many literary critics discussed the story itself. After no longer having to worry about survival, the families on the island did not continue to prosper. Confined to the absurd life on the island, they had no idea of leaving the island and heading for the distant clear sky, and they fell into destruction in depravity.
"Mainly, mainly, this book describes in detail the many ways that nobles play, so it is very famous from certain angles." Dorothy said cautiously.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Li Ang asked gritting his teeth.
Dorothy lowered her head and thought for a long time, then her cheeks flushed bright red as she looked him in the eye without flinching.
"Perhaps this is what I expected?"
The girl's eyes were filled with affection, and the passion and purity of it startled Leon.
On the side, Zoe pursed her lips, gently pulled his sleeve, and peeked at him.
"The same to you……"
"I just want to be with Leon. Of course, if this or that is really happy, I also want to experience it with Leon."
The kitten came closer and nudged his chest with its forehead.
In the third direction, Alulu had grasped his hand without him noticing, the soft touch of her arm constantly revealing her presence. The girl's moist purple eyes were also filled with water.
They, alas, in the end, these many heavy thoughts were truly as heavy as a thousand pounds. He could break the ancient guards' sturdy bodies, but he had no way to do anything about it.
I asked for it.
Li Ang understood the core of the problem in an instant.
He could only hope that as the Star Flower Brigade's fame grew, as the Eternal Summer became a prominent feature of the story in the sky, as it became part of legend or even lore, people would pay more attention to the meaning entrusted to it, and would not think that its name really came from that literary novel.
Late at night, Farina woke up from a nightmare. She rubbed her temples hard, and only when she remembered where she was did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Opposite her, the youth leader and his three members leaned against each other and fell asleep, peaceful and tranquil.
The red-haired witch was stunned, and the panic on her face was gradually covered by a faint smile.
341. Silence of the Furnace
"Keep pushing forward! The ruins' guard production is already saturated. Defeat the last of them, and it will be under our control!"
At noon the next day, braving the blazing flames of the Furnace of Creation, they arrived at the closest point to the giant metal sphere.
The Furnace of Mechanical Creation is reusing its stored materials and parts to construct metal guards to supplement its defensive strength. These new guards are not controlled by the Island Forger Undead and are much less flexible, but their bodies are still solid and stable, and it takes time to disassemble them one by one.
A prolonged rest would diminish the progress made, so the necessary rest didn't last long. After a short night, the team launched a high-intensity, sustained offensive from early morning.
The fierce advance was squeezing everyone's energy, and the giant mechanical sphere hanging above their heads, which was getting bigger and bigger as the front line advanced, until it was as bright as the sun, was also exerting pressure, whether it was the shock brought by this complex and huge creation of civilization, or its unparalleled burning core.
Everyone has almost completely lost the protection of the water element, and the battle has entered its final stage. Even with the reborn ancestor of the sea dragon and the incarnation of the water dragon, the power of the ocean bubble has reached its limit.
After all, they are not in their prime and in their true form, so their strength is limited. Even though the ocean bubbles in the battle of the Creation Furnace are essentially very different from the ordinary bubbles created by Dorothy's mermaid robes, the Creation Furnace is also based on the legendary law.
In this underground facility, when you get close to the Furnace of Creation, you really feel like you've arrived in front of the sun. Without the protection of the legendary power of water, the heat it emits would almost completely evaporate the ocean water.
Li Ang, it’s so hot!
Just hold on a little longer, it will be over soon.
Leviathan had consumed a lot of energy due to the continuous all-out fighting, and his condition seemed a little sluggish. In addition, the temperature of the water in the bubble was difficult to control, making him very uncomfortable.
While comforting her in the mind link, Leon held Ollihack tightly to guide the magic power. The water flow of the sea serpent familiar crossed and swept across the last three guards in front, weakening them by being immersed in water.
"Beware!"
A shield guard from the Order Flower Sword Corps lost his strength, nearly having his shield knocked away by the Crucible Guard's hammer. Without his shield, his uniform would be as vulnerable to the metal giant as if he were unarmored.
The heavy shield guard next to him moved a little to cover his teammates, which immediately caused a gap in the line. The other furnace guard raised his leg and stomped down heavily. The power of this blow was no less than the blow of a giant engineering machine that could split mountains and islands, as if it was a destruction coming from above.
Li Ang raised the staff with a scorching light at the front end in his right hand, and drew a spell pattern at high speed with his left hand and slapped it on himself, and the release of spiritual activation was completed instantly.
The previous high pressure made him spread out several powerful skills to use at different times: acceleration, slowing, the domain of the two, mental transcendence, spiritual piercing...
The purpose of restraining and conserving energy along the way is to allow the most comprehensive spiritual activation to complete the final stage.
The spiritual energy in his body became rapidly active as if it was boiling, and his ability to attract and use magic power reached the limit. The light at the front end of the staff increased rapidly and finally converged into an extremely shining ray.
This beam of light is not bright in itself, but the laws contained in it are breaking down everything it touches into more basic units. Matter is separated into elements, and magic power is extracted and dispersed. In front of it, nothing can maintain its original appearance.
The disintegration light wave stayed on the surface of the Creation Furnace Guardian for less than half a second before penetrating it directly. The team members in front quickly made way. They had seen the power of this ray several times and did not dare to approach it at all.
Leon pulled the staff horizontally, and the fragmentation light wave passed through the two furnace guards within the duration. The middle part of their bodies was flowing with reduced molten metal and they broke into two parts. After that, the fragmentation effect continued until their entire bodies turned into liquid metal.
The mindless sea serpent familiar quickly circled around Leon, it was like an extension of his will. Compared to the Leviathan, which was often weak because of its recent rebirth, it was just a launcher that converted Leon's magic power into the attack form of the Sea Dragon.
Ollihack's spirit was also activated, and a torrent of ether gushed out of it. After being filtered by the sea serpent familiar, it was transformed into a torrent of water pouring down like a rainstorm. The water element quickly seeped into the surface of the last golem, creating a soaking effect, and the subsequent impact of the water flow was like a hacksaw, tearing dents on its surface.
The Knights of Order regrouped, each attacking with their last bit of strength. The furnace guard staggered back, then turned into countless pieces of debris by the sword light of a rapidly approaching female swordsman.
Meluna sheathed her sword. After the loud sound of metal hitting the ground, there were no more heavy footsteps or the sound of steel rubbing against each other, and there was no more shouting for a while.
Compared to the previous battlefield filled with intense noise, the dull mechanical sounds of the Creation Furnace and the breathing of the crowd could only be regarded as tiny background sounds.
The silence lasted for a long time, and finally there was cheering.
Compared to yesterday’s enthusiasm, today’s cheers are more of a sense of relief of “finally being freed”.
Although the overall battle time was not long, it consumed a lot of energy. In this underground space that was so hot that it was unlike the mortal world, everyone's endurance was pushed to the limit.
"call."
Li Ang's body also softened, and he was able to stand only by supporting himself with his staff.
It had been a while since he had fought a battle like this. Even though he had a staff as his energy source, repeatedly summoning magic power to cast spells took a toll on his energy.
But the effort and hard work are worth it, and the results are right in front of you.
The road blocked by the last group of furnace guards has been opened. This is the back of the giant mechanical sphere. In the front, you can clearly see a high platform with complex operating equipment installed on it, as well as seats connected to tracks that can be raised and lowered, indicating that this is the control center of the Furnace of Creation.
Leon glanced at the people around him. Many of the Order Knights were slumped on the ground, taking out the healing items they were equipped with to repair their wounds and restore their energy.
Melegorn was soothing his Hippogriff. This beast and the other two cavalrymen's griffins had many feathers singed by the flames, and in some places even the charred flesh was visible.
This time, they were a huge help. It had to be said that, whether it was when I first met Alafia or now, the Order Knights had always been one of the best partners. They were well-trained and had strong execution, able to fully implement the commander's will and never let down the supporters' efforts. Ordinary groups wouldn't be as efficient in combat.
After all, this is a world of extraordinary power. Even if an individual is not strong enough to possess all the power, the strong are usually very self-centered. To put it nicely, it is pride, and to put it bluntly, it is arrogance. It is common for them to be used to fighting alone.
On the other side, in the Star Flower Brigade, Farina's battle was mainly completed by the magic dragon. However, she had used up all her strength in the second battle yesterday and looked not in good condition today, so Leon asked her to use the auxiliary ability of the dragon summoner to support Anna and Leviathan.
In order to keep up with the battle here, the three little ones and Anna who had just regained her human form also used all their strength. The new equipment of the three people was slightly damaged, but it can be repaired later.
In addition to the reliability of their equipment, they were also under the care of Leon, Farina and Xiao Mo, so they did not suffer any injuries, but they were obviously exhausted.
Zoe lay on the ground, panting ungainly, but the heat of the ground penetrated her light armor and reached her skin, causing her to jump up again. Anna saw this and spread a layer of earth and rocks on the ground for the "Son of God" she served to rest.
Dorothy seemed to be in the best condition among all the people present, even including those in the Excellence Realm. This was not because she did not work hard, but because the recovery effect of the Magic Flower was too strong.
When she reached the center of the furnace, she had basically only released the newly formed flame flower vines. In this environment, they thrived like fish in water, and the magic power they extracted could also feed back to the half-elf, making her fair skin look very lively despite the blush from the high temperature.
The new magic flower has orange-red flowers, and the edges of the petals are even in a smoldering state, with a circle of sparks. Leon once again lamented the outrageousness of this magical dimension plant.
Among the three, Alulu is in the worst condition.
Xiao Niu's physique was in urgent need of heat dissipation. In addition, she had to constantly hold up her shield to defend and try her best, so the amount of sweat she produced was even greater. This space made it difficult for her to truly dissipate heat, even if Meimei sent her a stream of water from time to time.
The old sweat had not yet dried into salt marks when it was washed away by new sweat. By now, she looked like she had just been pulled out of the water. She could hardly lift her eyelids and was almost exhausted.
Xiao Mo was so tired from repeatedly using his innate abilities that he didn't come to talk to Li Ang immediately. Instead, he chose to catch his breath on the side.
Meimei's main task is to maintain the ocean bubble to ensure that everyone fighting is protected by the water element, so it's naturally not easy.
From the second battle yesterday to the battle that started this morning, Leon had arranged her and Meluna's Storm Sword Domain into a fixed "damage reduction chain", specifically to deploy the domain to block the fire from the furnace of the Creation Furnace when it was ejected.
Fortunately, Meluna is as strong as a beast, and she is in the best condition after Dorothy.
Li Ang, it’s so hot.
Leviathan hummed and landed on Leon's head in the mental link. The water she carried did not even wet his hair. The hard-working little dragon conveyed her desire for cool water.
I'll think of a way.
Leon was about to cast a spell when he saw Aqua walking in front of him.
"Lord Mizulong."
After seeing the dreamlike underwater scene presented by the incarnation of the Water Dragon yesterday, Leon had respect for her, well, even more respect.
This made him think: As the pillar of water supporting the world, could it be that the dragon's shape and appearance are related to the state of the elements in the world itself?
Why is the water dragon a giant jellyfish? Jellyfish are ancient aquatic creatures with high water content, high requirements for water quality and environment, and are inherently fierce predators. Perhaps this form reflects the ancient meaning of the water dragon, which has existed since the creation of the world, as well as its power, which is on par with the ancestor of dragons, and its dependence on water.
And if we exclude disrespectful thoughts and analyze it seriously, her state of playing with the world can also be seen as love for the human world and the world of Newbis.
Because water sustains the life of the entire world, it means that she also loves all life in this world.
So this guy doesn't usually show his combat power. Could it be that the form of his power is more inclined towards maintaining life, that is, the healing type?
"Cast the spell with me," Aqua said.
Li Ang nodded. He had just wanted to do something for his teammates who fought with him.
Aqua raised her hands and released phantoms of transparent tentacles from her wrists. They tore open dimensional cracks, and the thick magic power inside flowed out like pouring water, appearing as real water flow.
Feeling the pink-haired girl's magic power running, Leon propped himself up, held his breath, and drove Ollihack to release ether to participate in the operation. After further sensing her spell intention, he added the power of nature.
"Rain of sprouts."
The two of them pushed the ball of water element into the air. The water element that appeared beside the furnace with a temperature as high as the core of the earth was obviously the power of the water dragon, and most of the magic power it needed was supported by Leon.
The water masses dispersed into clouds, and then a heavy rain fell. The raindrops fell to the ground and flowed into puddles. The surface of the puddles was splashed by new raindrops, and the water splashes flew everywhere, playing the rhythm of life.
Everyone was refreshed by the cool rain, and soon found that their strength was recovering and their wounds were healing rapidly. This healing was not even like the ordinary healing spells that promoted the healing of wounds, but directly made the wounds become smooth and scarless as if they had never been injured. This healing rain seemed to wash away everything that was detrimental to life, making the beneficiaries feel like they were reborn.
It seems my guess was correct. Leon looked at the water dragon incarnation beside him.
For the broken Newbis, the ocean disappeared, and the abundant water system like that of Mengze Island needed the help of the Creation Tree Star Soul to maintain. Aqua also said that the water cycle on ordinary islands was the law of the world maintained by the six dragons jointly adjusting the elements.
What Newbis lacks most are earth and water elements, and water is even less, because the total amount of water on an island is still less than that of earth and rock.
For the only remaining water in the world, those raging waves and violent storms have almost become a distant memory. In order to continue the world, it retains life and also retains the last brilliance.
"Lord Shuilong, you——"
"Let's deal with the next thing quickly."
Leon was in a complicated mood and had a lot to say to Aqua, but the girl interrupted him and pointed at the Furnace of Founding.
Indeed, this is more important now.
Leon nodded to Aqua and walked towards the control console.
When passing by Melgon, the two had a brief exchange. Melgon mounted his eagle and flew to the entrance to inform Locke of the results of the battle.
Sitting in a position that looked a bit like the suspended seat of a spaceship in some science fiction movies on Earth, the operation method immediately emerged in Leon's mind. This was the information of the Island Maker inheritance given to him by the system.
