Most of the time, the word adventurer is actually not a word with commendatory meaning.

In the not too distant past, in that conservative and simple age, the word "adventure" was actually despised. Because that means that the person who does this behavior has no stable assets, no stable life, and has done something he is not sure of - the adventurer is usually equated with the reckless, immoral and even eccentric, adventurous person, which is not elegant and likeable.

However, conservatism means seeking stability, and the era of stability is rare. In the increasingly ordinary turbulence and change, more and more people either have to or take the initiative to seek change and become adventurers. In this way, risk-taking has changed from being despised as a poor man's behavior to some self boasting wonderful things of the new upper class. With the change of social structure and the deformation of cultural transmission, the word adventurer has gradually become a synonym for the existence of "pursuing glory and wealth, carrying out all kinds of unusual travel and exploration".

Of course, this is far from commendatory... Many times, the pursuit of wealth and glory means that there is no wealth and glory. In addition, there are many adventurers who play as bandits in their spare time. Therefore, in the eyes of the public, they are still a semi grey group. At most, they are "full of vitality".

With the change of times, the definition of adventurer also changes from time to time, but this word can't get rid of the inherent speculative factor and the nature of gambling - it's always half gray, which makes some people yearn for it and some people despise it.

So, what is the "rare time" when "adventurer" can be called a "commendatory word"?

——Right now.

It's when you die if you don't take risks.

In the desperate situation of ambush, to survive in death, to survive in the end of death

Find the exit in the dark and deep underground caves, and find a glimmer of light in the silent and secluded darkness

It's also, adventurer.

Fall 860, may 22, 3:19 p.m. world standard time, mccrov world, Empire, xibante plateau, Babel Tower.

With the deafening roar of the electromagnetic acceleration tower, the empty warships, like no money, are sent into the void from the production base that covers almost the entire surface of the plateau and turns the earth within half a field of vision into steel. It can be said that the number of warships launched into the void from the Babel sky tower every hour, Probably more than the average void civilization has produced in a few years.

The time when the mcrove civilization turned basic materials into higher creations was limited by the amount of materials dumped and the population driving them.

But that's the biggest limitation.

"Not enough."

Prince of the Empire, Alva diamond, the general director of the void base of sibannert, watched the magnificent scene of countless warships entering the void. He was not shocked as others, but sighed: "the population is still far from enough."

In fact, this is the case - even the whole mcchrough civilization's desperate open policy, which encourages childbearing, and even reduces the legal marriage age to 16 years old, even 14 years old in some areas - not only that, they also open up cultural teaching, carry out comprehensive education, and in a word, spend all their resources, That is to let all those who can have children have children, but the population growth rate has not been significantly improved.

In the past 20 years, the population of the mclov civilization has more than doubled, about 7 billion people... You know, this is a society where people do not worry about food and clothing, and the average life expectancy has also increased greatly. In principle, the time for giving birth should be much longer than in the past - but obviously, the algorithm for population growth does not work like this.

More than 7 billion people, it sounds like a lot. Alva can't help but smile bitterly: "the population of any colonial world exceeds this number in other void civilizations."

After all, unlike mccrolfe, who dug up the information of previous civilizations and was catalyzed by legendary strongmen, other void civilizations have entered the void for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Even without advanced technology, time alone is enough to crush them. In war, population is the most important resource.

"We popularize Shenji, so that one third of Mrs. McCullough can be regarded as a top two, so that even if we take into account the optimized intelligent algorithm and puppet assistance, now it is estimated that only a few hundred people will be able to drive a fearless battleship, which is tens of times higher than before."

Moving his eyes back from the sky tower, which was still roaring to launch the empty warship, Alva turned his head and looked aside. Those friends who were drinking tea in their office shook their heads and said, "but even if we calculate like this, it's just a few hundred billion people of ordinary void civilization - more than 20 old void civilizations in the colonial world. I can easily figure out this number, which is calculated according to the algorithm of all the people are soldiers.""Seriously, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, one of the figures who was drinking tea couldn't help looking up. He looked at Alva, who was still frowning and thinking in silence. He was quite confused and said, "the combat effectiveness of this multiverse doesn't depend on the number of ordinary people and the number of warships - we are really few, but we have many legends."

"If a legendary strong man is equal to a complete virtual warship fleet, our combat power can be increased by ten times in an instant - not to mention the advanced legends, but the legendary ultimate combat power. They are not the level that can be calculated by the number of warships at all."

"You're quite optimistic, prest." Listening to the optimistic words of his good friend, Alva couldn't help laughing: "but the more the population, the more the legendary strong will be, and this will not change."

"There's no way to be not optimistic. After all, when you take risks, if you encounter something bad, are you still worrying yourself if you are not optimistic?"

With that, Priestley sighed. He turned his head and laughed like the other four teammates who were enjoying the royal collection of alvar. He turned his head and asked strangely, "on the contrary, if you keep a straight face, maybe some 'serious evil spirits' and' worried evil spirits' will come out - nothing else. What do you want us to do? It's not just tea, is it? "

"You can really talk."

Alva didn't have the strength to respond to prest's joke. He just raised his hand, looked at the time, and then said lazily, "it's not a tea treat... Today is a big day for you and me. Ah. Here we are

Just as the elite team was still thinking about what could be regarded as a major event, there was a very obvious fluctuation of time and space in the office, and the dark blue light directly turned into the door opening. There was no cover for the breath of several individuals, and the wild energy fluctuation was like a raging wave, In this way, out of the void from the door of time and space, came to the office!

The first one is the legendary space-time mage Nostradamus - and then one of the seven gods, the God of power and justice. These two are the first to walk out, followed by the remaining six gods, Fishman high priest, nature teacher, Rune controller and spirit controller... There are also some legendary strong men, such as Brandon and loranda, because the noumenon is still far away in the river of Biros, so this time only the incarnation emerges, and all the other legendary strong men and gods who can come in real bodies, Even including the incarnation of Miss 3 and thunder Cologne, all of them arrived in just ten seconds!

Gods, such as fish man and metal dragon god, and several metal dragon clan leaders have appeared in public for the first time. This shocking scene makes the members of the elite team who are still drinking tea freeze in place. For a moment, it's not good to put down their tea cup. Facing dozens of Legends and real gods, they feel that they can do nothing good, Nothing can be done.

"Wow..."

Even the disciples of the legendary strongman often encounter the wild legendary duel, and even have a close visit to Prester, who has fought against the evil god. At this time, they also swallow their saliva nervously and say in their heart: "what a big battle!"

So at this moment, it's the whole McCullough civilization. Except that one, all the strong people who can reach the level are gathered together!

Moreover, it seems that they are aiming at themselves and the elite team!

What's going on?

Not only prest, but also other members of the elite team are winking at Alva, but Alva himself is obviously in shock - I'm afraid he doesn't know that there will be so many legendary strong men this time. The news he gets is that some legendary strong men want to see the elite team, but they don't want the news to spread.

However, although the scene is very big, but you strong people did not have the first time to talk with prest and others, but began to exchange information that was not convenient to exchange in the magic net before.

"At present, the front line is still very stable, and the headquarters of the evil gods have not yet arrived, but they have contacted the front line of the fortress in charge of loranda, which is the forward force of the evil gods' families. The first wave of collision has taken place with them, and the losses are still within the scope of acceptance."

The first one who opened his mouth was a beautiful young man with blue hair, the God of order and destruction, who didn't mean to keep secret at this time. After setting up the isolation array that enveloped the whole office, he solemnly created a light curtain in mid air showing a void scene, and then said, "look, this is the battlefield after the first battle, The army of the evil god family destroyed seven YONGGU fortresses, but they were also completely annihilated, and the destroyed fortresses could still be used after a little disinfection. "

It can be seen that there is a chaotic void battlefield in the light curtain. The wreckage of thousands of warships is all over the star field, dancing in the turbulent flow of time and space. The chaotic energy source makes the whole light curtain blurred. Only the most powerful people can see from the confused energy cloud that a well-equipped fortress is still in operation."But look."

However, Mie Lu exerted his divine power. He reached out to wipe out the dim clouds in the light curtain, and even covered the energy light released by many fortresses. He clicked on a seemingly nihilistic darkness, and then widened it to show: "this is just the relatives of the evil god army, the vanguard of the evil god army, and the Scout of the evil god army."

We can see that in the seemingly nihilistic darkness, there is more profound darkness surging - it is endless, even in the void can not see the end of the dark curtain, it is surging, do not care whether their insignificant top has been eliminated.

"Evil spirits have no self-consciousness. If the world is a human being, they are moving high-energy pollution sources, extremely dangerous radiation bodies, and their dependents are the bacteria that invade the human body and the radiation that kills cells."

Recently, babarosa, the element controller who has been studying hard to increase his strength, said in a low voice: "so if the impact we feel at the beginning of this contact turns into a specific value of '1', then the real vanguard of the family of evil gods is probably '50', and the impact of the headquarters of the family of evil gods, It is "100", and the collective impact of evil spirits, as the source of all radiation, is "immeasurable."

"The fortress community of Biros River can block" 1 "," 50 "or even" 100 ". The highest impact level we can cope with is 125. But this is just an imaginary number. The impact of the evil gods' families is endless. It takes time for our resources to be transported. Moreover, no one can be sure whether there will be a large number of legendary families in the "star world."

Affected by the near Saint ultimate sublimation polymer, the families of pestilence evil gods can easily turn into legendary pestilence mother beasts and virtual giants. However, at present, even the evil gods have few legendary families. Even if they have, they are only two or three big cats and kittens.

However, the existence of near saints and evil spirits has long been confirmed - no one can be sure. In the long time, will the most powerful evil spirits have cultivated a chaotic army composed entirely of legendary families?

"The fortresses of bilos galaxy are absolutely unstoppable."

Yi Zhe, the God of protection and change, said so faintly that he played with his cigarette gun and kept it spinning between his fingers. The dwarf God's tone was indifferent: "according to the information I got from my last communication with Joshua, the near Saint extreme sublimation polymer determined that the evil God appeared at the end of the era would wipe out the army, There are absolute "near saint" evil spirits. In other words, there are such monsters as "fertility evil god" and "cataclysmic evil god", whose radiation can stir up the whole world just by passing by. "

"It's just that the fortresses in Biros galaxy can block the common evil spirits. If there is chaos of that level, I'm afraid all the garrison will be destroyed on the spot as soon as they appear."

"But the bilos fortress is a must. Without this buffer zone, the fragile and loose rear of multi Star River will not even have time to retreat and plan. "

It's hard for the nature tutor to cover up her tiredness. Recently, she has been in the etheric ring world, seeding millions of blocks around the world with artificial catalysis to create a natural ecosystem. Even for the legendary strong man, this is a difficult task, but she will do her best. Today, Garan Nord has a strong fighting spirit: "although the first contact war was due to maladjustment, just the chaotic impact of the vanguard scout level caused seven fortresses to be destroyed and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It's hard to imagine how much damage will be caused by the next comprehensive battle."

"Or is that death?"

At the cost of some people's lives, fight for enough reaction time for the huge and loose individual of "multi star civilization alliance" so that they can completely turn into a state of war preparation... Or be ready to retreat?

"It's sacrifice."

So says the God of love and decay. The goddess, who is also an elf, has a calm expression without any waves: "among the seven gods, I, the God of law and freedom, the God of wisdom and choice, will go to the front line later, and so will several other civilized gods. We will be stationed in the fortress group of birossing River, and with the protection of our true God, the impact of the evil god family is not irresistible. "

"But what about the headquarters of the great army of evil spirits?"

On one side, genie queen henvalor IX couldn't help asking. As a genie, she seemed to have guessed each other's choice. Now the question is just a subconscious voice.

"At that time, we will enter the state of" God extermination "and use our strongest strength to test how high the upper limit of the" evil god "headquarters is, and whether the evil god close to the saint level will attack, and if so, how many."

There was no hesitation and hesitation. When love talked about death with the God of decay, his tone didn't even fluctuate. He looked around the middle-aged man who was shocked and said flatly: "don't look at me with such eyes. I'm afraid the number of mortals will be hundreds of millions of times that of God. In that battle, the legendary strong man will break like a branch in the rainstorm, God is no exception - and I just choose to be more valuable when I leave. ""Chaos is coming. This is the enemy we fear and have been looking forward to for thousands of years. Up to now, there is nothing to be afraid of."

However, even the group of elites who did not dare to speak and Alva, who was sitting in the same place as a stone carving, were still shocked.

Plan your own life and death casually, and regard the eternal life in the eyes of ordinary people, whether it is others' or your own, as nothing.

Is this God? It is not for the powerful life of "human beings", but for the extremely extraordinary individuals beyond the definition of ordinary legends

"What? Don't be surprised, young man

Turning his head, Yi zhe looks at the unnatural Prester. The God of protection and change laughs and approaches each other kindly. Then he pats each other on the shoulder: "don't be so nervous. We are just the" phantom "that should have left thousands of years ago. Let's play more heat while the shadow is still there, otherwise, we can't be so nervous, In a few hundred or thousands of years, it will be just like coal. If it is burned clean, it will only be ash. "

"But you are not the same. You are full of vigor and vitality. You have a bright future and a bright future."

Even though Prester thinks he is bold and even dares to stroke the beard of a tiger in the face of legendary demons, he still feels a blank in his brain when a real God pats his shoulder. At the end of hearing this, he vaguely reacts to why these legendary strong men and gods call their team of great explorers, And so much classified information.

"Does it mean that... Because they are destined to lose a lot of high-end combat power, the high-level people intend to cultivate some talented and loyal people to become a new generation of legends?"

Other than boasting, just talking about talent and loyalty to civilization, Prester guaranteed that he and his teammates were absolutely first-class, otherwise, he would not have been trained all the way from ordinary explorers to now, and even won the gold group championship of the first multi star civilization Invitational Competition. They do have the potential to become legends.

But is it really that simple? Although the five future Legends - including Alva, and even the first team behind them, are ten. Although the legends of ten freshmen sound terrible and powerful, Prester, who has really seen the battle of high legends, knows very well that a legendary extreme strongman like his teacher can kill all of them with one finger.

Killing evil gods is like killing chickens. Killing legends is like grinding ants. In this extraordinary world, the efficiency of piling up quantity is far less than increasing quality.

"But I'm ready for it."

Although he thought a lot in his heart, it wasn't long before the real world passed. Prester shook his head and opened his mind. He silently said to himself, "I'm ready to go to the front line or investigate the situation around the evil god Army... I'm going to inform sue and Britney, We have to find someone to take care of the future. "

As a strong legend, it can even be said that the disciples of the strongest in the realm of legend, whether they are priestly or Alva, or all the members of the first team, or even the Dragon maiden, they have long been psychologically prepared to undertake the responsibility consistent with their own status.

There's nothing to escape from - they've got far superior resources than ordinary people, and they've been instructed and instructed by the strongest. It's natural for them to become strong, and it's even more natural for them to take on the responsibilities of the strong.

Although his teammates are not the disciples of the teacher, they are better than the disciples in taking care of them over the years. Constantine took a part-time job in the teacher's transformation organization. Wayne was one of the apprentices of master Nostradamus, while Sid and Clark are the genius of Seven Sacred Mountains, One is the chief of the champion college. They have been treated tenderly by the world and expected by all people, and they are willing to respond to this tenderness and expectation.

So now is the time for them to give.

But then, one of the seven gods, the God of power and justice, surprised them.

"Priestly omnini, from today on, you are the captain of the ark" kindling "and the president commander of" Voyager exploration fleet ", and all the members of the elite team are merged."

The golden figure said in Prester's familiar imperial tone. Then he turned his head and looked at his human Heirs: "Alva diamond, from today on, you are the captain of the ecological circulation ship" shimmering "and the presidential commander of the drifters' wandering fleet. All the members of the first team join in."

"From today on, all your responsibilities and all your information in the past will be hidden. After three minutes, you will not exist in this world. Except for the integration of the big information base, there will be no information about you anywhere."Wait, ark? Explorer fleet? Ecological recycling ship? Wandering fleet?

What is it all about?

Both Prester and Alva were shocked. These names and appellations were not right. Because of doubt, the young soldier asked subconsciously, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"It means that you are all kindling."

The eyes of the God of power and justice moved, and he whispered, "this is the task of your future life."

"But I'm willing to go to the front line!"

I don't know why, Proust frowned and growled in a low voice. Even in the face of many legends and gods, he dared to grit his teeth and growl: "Your Majesty... I'm Radcliffe's apprentice and soldier's disciple! I am not afraid of death and evil spirits, I have courage! I can take my responsibility! "

Don't give me any preferential treatment just because I am his disciple... I don't need it. I really don't need it!

"Yes, the captain is right. Our elite team is facing more danger. Even if we were asked to investigate the situation of the evil god army, we would not frown!"

On one side, Clark, the most nervous knight, followed Yinghe road closely. He also looked very upset. It was a kind of self-esteem reluctance after being treated deliberately.

But Alva didn't speak at the beginning. He just took a deep look at his "father" and whispered, "I still remember that day more than ten years ago when you took me and my second brother to the Empire and taught us what responsibility and courage are."

"I haven't forgotten. I don't need favors either, your majesty. "

The legendary strong men and gods on the scene looked at each other, but did not speak. The God of power and justice raised his head slightly. He looked around at the young men who showed "dissatisfaction" and "resistance" to himself, and then laughed.

"Isn't that very courageous?"

God only said with a low smile: "but you may not understand that what requires courage and risk more than going forward is" retreat. "

The God of power and justice calmly said, "do you think this is preferential treatment? It's a big mistake. It's the hardest responsibility. Don't think that it's a good job to be a "Kindler". We don't have that kind of good position for you

"To move forward, you can grit your teeth, even if you don't want anything, and then charge forward with pride. In this way, no matter death or despair can be forgotten - but to retreat is different. The lads, especially when they step back with a group of people, are even more different. "

"You will work hard all your life and dare not relax at all, because you know that you are going backward. Every step you take will be tormented by the pain called responsibility and expectation. If you make a mistake in every choice you make, you will be condemned ten times more terrifying than going forward - no matter from others, It's still from myself. "

"I'm afraid what we need to move forward is just a simple big heart. What we need to retreat is a tough, cautious and indomitable heart. "

In this way, the God of power and justice took the hand, turned around and stopped looking at the crowd. He said calmly, "Alva is a little reluctant, but you are the most suitable person, Prius. We all know that you choose the way of guarding. You naturally understand that the true meaning of protection is to live up to the fate of countless people who are gathered in your hands. And now, an ark, an entire exploration fleet, millions of people's lives are in your hands. "

"Compared with blindly venting your courage, you'd better think more about how to become a better leader."

The God of justice and power has left. He has a lot of things to do and is very busy. Recently, he needs to meet the triple curtain of the world of stars and deal with several gods of emotional power. After explaining some important things to each other, other legendary strong men and gods have left one after another.

Before everyone left, they would smile and bless, and still stay in the same place. Some people didn't know why. Until the end, only Nostradamus and Ezra, the God of protection and change, were left, these two strong men slowly stepped forward.

"That's your responsibility in the future."

The old mage patted the man who was bigger than himself in front of him. He vaguely saw the shadow of the man in the past from each other. Nostradamus shook his head with a smile, and then said: "some people choose to sacrifice, while some people are asked to leave. Don't feel that you have been given any preferential treatment, because the danger you may encounter is far greater than that of those who are willing to die. "

"Listen, if you don't think about winning, think about losing first. The battle with the army of evil spirits has just begun. This war can't be solved so easily - and you, as the most dazzling group of the new generation, are the kindling of our human beings.""You, prest." Taking the words of the old mage, the dwarf God said faintly: "the" fire Ark "you are in charge of is an" inner world ship "carrying a" star world "which is similar to the back of the virtual giant beast of the star Herder. Among them, there is a complete continental ecosystem, which can sustain millions of people for more than 900000 years after being tested by natural instructors. Your duty is to lead this ark ship through the new "shadow sub space channel" created by the shadow sage to other "multi Star River" and plant new seeds for mankind. Don't worry. We asked professionals to predict that the multi Star River is still very safe, at least for the next several hundred thousand years. "

"And you, Alva." Turning to one side, Yi zhe still held all the imperial Pro kingly ways. He narrowed his eyes: "your duty is even more dangerous and miserable... Don't think your father will give any preferential treatment just because you are his son - don't think too much‘ Similar to kindling, Weiguang also has an inner world, but it can last longer, even as long as the population does not expand

"Moreover, it has its unique ethereal silent array, which is the same as the etheric ring world. Your duty is to lead some selected technicians to the depth of the silent void, never to return, unless one day, we win the war, and then we find you, otherwise, you will always sail to the depth of the void, even to the end of the multiverse, never to stop. "

"Now, do you still think this is a" preferential treatment "

All the people were speechless. But, in the silence, something seems to have been ignited.

The burning temperature is the color of "fighting spirit"!

"Well, I know that if you don't make things a little more difficult, you scumbags can't make any effort." The dwarf God just snorted. Yi zhe turned around and obviously intended to leave. But before he left, he stopped: "by the way, whether it's the ark or the ecological recycling ship, there are copies of the whole integrated information database inside - you who hold it represent human civilization."

"Don't disgrace us, live well! When the war is won, there will be a day of return. "

At the end of the speech, Yi zhe also left, leaving only the legendary strongman, Nostradamus, who is most familiar to all.

And the old mage looked at these latecomers who had witnessed with their own eyes and had come to this realm step by step, and his heart was full of emotion. But after thinking about it, he could not think of any good words, so he could only quietly continue to say: "don't worry, you have already proved yourself, the strongest adventurer team in the human class - this is a well deserved fact. Even those of us who are legendary and strong dare not say that we have surpassed you in this respect... So, you are the best. "

"The shadow sage has opened the way to other multi stars, so, priestly, you can go in that direction. And you, Alva, I saw with my own eyes the child who grew up, you will sink into the eternal lonely nihilistic hell, but I believe that you can absolutely bear this expectation. "

"Come on, the best adventurers."

Nostradamus left, too. What's left is just two glowing light groups - and that's just a series of complicated secret keys of divine patterns, which can take them to transmit and open the world's great ships that don't know where they are now.

"Seriously."

Everyone was silent for a long time, but it was Knight Clark who broke the silence first. At this time, his expression was unprecedented solemn: "I think there must be many difficulties and obstacles in our journey."

Everyone looked up at him, but the knight didn't realize it. He said in a loud voice, "but we're going to win - as many times as we have in the past."

"It's nothing to be afraid of, is it?"

"You're talking about people." The priest said shook his head: "I just don't know if I can bring my relatives and friends... It should be no problem. Those adults didn't mention a word."

"Oh, I have to go to the lab to inform those people..." Alva is far more headache than those guys in the elite team: "Hello, they are scattered all over the country..."

It seems that Alva was not intimidated by the words of his father and guardian God. He was even unconventional, There was even a smile on his face: "but Clark is right. It's nothing to be afraid of."

"Yes, it is."

"At least it won't be more dangerous than the black fog last time - if it wasn't for the tug bottles of at least hundreds of thousands of people, I would definitely be able to get to other multi stars smoothly."

"But shut up. The last time you met the black fog, didn't you shout 'my life is over'There were many voices, but soon, because of the unknown tacit understanding, the discussion was silent.

Then everyone reached out, laughing and clapping each other's high fives.

This may be the last time in their life that they can clap high fives so easily and happily.

Therefore, the adventurers must smile, step forward full of hope, and go to the front full of suffering and responsibility, full of hardship and despair.

……

——Fall 860, September 29, 7:31 a.m. standard time, near the void——

"Why worry? Britney, I'm not leaving you this time. We're going to start together

At the unknown empty harbor, Prester, holding a ghost like green haired elf in the air, lowered his head and said with a smile to some sullen girls on the other side: "you see, Sur is so happy that he would like to start early. Why are you different from everyone and have a bitter face?"

"Because... Just a little worried."

Although she has grown into an excellent woman, Britney still occasionally shows her weakness when facing her brother. She raises her head and looks at the grand ark, where she can hardly see the end. She can't help murmuring: "is this huge ship our future home?"

For a moment, priestly couldn't answer for a moment. On the contrary, sur on the other side was happy and said in a carefree voice: "of course - wow, it looks so handsome! When can we go up, prest? "

"Ha ha, right now, right now."

Hastily replied, Prester also with a cheerful smile, two people's bright, broke Britney's heart a little worry, make her also can't help but laugh out.

In this way, Prester simply took his unique relatives and strode to the entrance and exit of the grand ark, together with other members of the elite team and relatives who were willing to leave with them.

They greet each other with a smile and move forward together with a smile.

[- why worry, why grieve?

My friend, this is a brilliant and magnificent legendary road, we are going to set out together to other multi stars!

It was an unprecedented grand adventure and a difficult journey.

So sing for us!

Praise human courage, praise human determination!]

——Adventurers, let's go
