Chapter 50: Chapter 48: Steel Forest
The Elf sneered without hesitation, and the disdain in their laughter was evident.
"You won't forget what I said, right?" Think did not hide her mockery at all, "Or is such a piece of rag a gesture of goodwill for Monkey? You know, after killing you, I can also get everything from you."
"Does Mr. Monkey still think that the revenge of the Nilvalen family I mentioned is a joke?", Think walked to the other side of the merging ship door with an elegant step, "Oh~ By the way, maybe it should also be counted as your meaningless reminder a few hours ago? I'm so sorry, how could Monkey imagine a power as vast as the sky? As the Flower Crown Lord of the Elf, and the only contemporary eight-fold magician, how could the explosion of a mere flying ship hurt a genius like me?"
The Elf do not need the self-righteous kindness of the beasts.
Su'er was silent.
The reason was not because of the series of inexplicable titles that the light golden-haired elf had said, which sounded very powerful but he had no idea how powerful they were, even though he had always thought that the elf chasing him was just an ordinary elf, nor was it because of his wasted goodwill - what made Su'er unable to face it was just the so-called reminder from Think.
Those were the words he shouted out in his most instinctive desire when he had not had enough rest for a long time, and had experienced a series of falls and collisions from a very high place, and even his consciousness was blurred and the whole world was confused.
He just didn't want to die.
Even the subconscious choice of keeping his mouth shut and burying himself in the exploding aircraft carrier with the Elf never appeared.
And everything before.
The fact that he had been deliberately avoiding.
If Riku knew, he would probably be angry, right?
Su'er, who finally realized this, laughed at himself - the self who even betrayed himself.
"...Anyway, Miss Nilvalen, you don't want to die here, do you?", no longer thinking about these questions, Su'er just buried his head in checking the few weapons left on him, "We all just want to Survive." Su'er said calmly, there was a gradually amplified sound coming from the outside of the submarine, no longer just the empty and unchanging shuttle sound when sailing underground, but as if the steam hammer that never stops forging the world, heavy, stable, mechanical and slow knocking, the depth count on the other side has gradually stopped.
Without answering, the elf just stretched out her finger from the wide robe and drew a diagonal line in the air. Su'er clearly saw the green ring with strange patterns overflowing from her body, and then scattered into invisible tiny light spots and disappeared in the air, and the magic that Think had cast on him before was cancelled.
Feeling the inertia again, Su'er couldn't help but stagger two steps before he stabilized his body again. At present, the speed of the submarine has slowed down to a level that his body can accept.
In silence, the two were waiting for the moment when the submarine completely stopped, guessing what the world outside the ship would look like, and how many Dwarf soldiers would be waiting outside the door.
In this anxious waiting of Su'er, the submarine finally stopped after a slight tremor.
The end of the journey has arrived.
"Mr. Monkey?" It was Think who was speaking, and her voice was still very sweet, even though Su'er had clearly realized that the Elf with light golden hair were not as sweet as her appearance, "Please remember - the pain I suffered will be returned to you a hundredfold, this is a fact that will never change."
The words she said were still a real death threat, but Su'er just sighed.
"Okay, I got it." Although he knew it wouldn't do much, Su'er still put his hand on the dagger on the side of his leg, "By the way, don't call me monkey... My name is Su'er, let's get to know each other."
"Hmm~ Got it, Mr. Monkey?"
With no intention of responding to this deliberate argument, Su'er focused his attention on the hatch.
The door opened.
——————————————
A perfect city like the fantasy in Su'er dream.
To be honest, if he hadn't been very clear about his identity as an invader (although there was no threat at all), Su'er would have been so excited that he wanted to shout.
So cool.
The city of the Dwarf is so cool - he can even find the bubble of his previous life in it.
Pipes, huge pipes, narrow pipes, pipes within pipes, iron walls Surounded by iron walls, and the circular opening of the furnace-shaped object that rose like a tower gushed out a green beam of light, which disappeared not far away in the air, and even every breath of air was hot.
Mixed in this sky filled with pipes are many facilities that are probably where the Dwarf live and work. The irregularly shaped windows are dotted with light, and from time to time small ships flying in the air roar by. Countless bright light sources shine in the darkness. This is a forest of steel, exuding the breath of industrial civilization that Su'er is most familiar with.
Even though there are still many places that are very different from what he saw and heard in his previous life, Su'er was still so excited that he clenched his hands, as if he had traveled through time again.
But everything is telling him mercilessly all the time - you can't go back.
No matter how similar it is, no matter how many memories can be evoked, Su'er will realize this when his sight shifts to the Heart of the city in the center.
A huge column of light penetrates the city like a piercing sky, from the top rock sky to the bottom steel foundation, as if it is a flame that has been ignited since the beginning of the world. Just looking at it makes people want to kneel down, which is the most instinctive awe of creatures.
"That's the fire of the Gods," Think, who was also crawling in this steel corner, whispered beside Su'er, "The symbol of the creator of the Dwarf race - the God of Forge."
"...Is that the Gods?" Su'er took a deep breath and suppressed his restless Heart, asking in a low voice after trying his best to tear his sight away from the majestic existence.
"How is it possible?" Think sneered at Su'er existence again and denied it bluntly, "This is at best just a transformation used to communicate with mortals. How can the existence of the Gods be understood by monkeys?"
"Whether it is its existence, the scale of time, the scope of language or definition that constitutes its world, it is not something that any species other than the Gods can imagine. Even if this God of Forge is destroyed, it is only equivalent to destroying the essence of the God of Forge that exists in the higher dimension in a physical way." Perhaps also shocked by such great power, Su'er heard Think unconsciously expand his vocabulary for him.
