Seven years ago, in the research institute of Archmage Merlin.
Merlin sighed and said to a huge glass container: "Bols, you have been doing a good job. You have completed your mission and now you can finally rest."
"Farewell, Master Mage." The dragon-golem lying in the container also said.
Merlin pulled the gate next to the container and turned off Bols' power.
Golem, as the name suggests, is a human figure that is endowed with magical power (photons) and moves.
Each golem has a core similar to a "head", which is filled with a high concentration of photons. This [core] is given certain specific orders, such as guarding a certain facility, or serving the master.
class.
When the mission assigned to the golem is completed, the core of the golem will begin to dim, and the golem that has completed its mission will immediately begin to sleep.
Boles is no exception.
He is a demon created by Merlin to collect and protect the keys to the World Wall. Now, the Dark Queen Morgan has passed through the World Wall and fled to the Eastern Dark Continent. Bors' mission to protect the [Key]
It has lost its meaning.
No matter how special the structure of the dragon-man golem Bors is, he must follow the principles of the golem, ashes return to ashes, earth returns to earth, and sleep forever.
Faced with Bors's increasingly dimming core, Merlin finally made a cruel decision and turned off the power of the Draconian Golem.
The mage abandoned the golem.
This is how it should be.
However------
"Ugh..." A child's sobs came from the dark laboratory.
The power supply was cut off, and Boles, who was supposed to sleep forever and become a pile of scrap metal, suddenly opened his eyes again.
The light in his core was rekindled, even though there was no energy left in the body of the Dragon Golem!
Seeing the ever-sublimating light blue light in the darkness, even Merlin, the wise and powerful light spirit who had seen countless worlds, was dumbfounded in surprise.
"Master Mage?" Boles looked at Merlin in confusion, with a bit of fatigue in his tone: "Did you wake me up again?...How long have I been asleep?...This
What is the next mission? Please give the order."
Merlin responded with a silence. Apart from being too surprised, the mage did not order Bors to do anything.
Boles is just a puppet, a puppet without a heart.
He is just a puppet given a false soul and a false heart.
You can make any number of such golems, there is no need to worry about activating the same old golem. Merlin originally planned to let Bors sleep forever, or to dismantle and use the parts for other golems. In short
, the mage never intended to let Bors wake up again.
However, Bors came back to life again! Without energy, without orders, without any additional operations!
What’s even weirder is that the previous memory of the Dragon Golem should have been completely deleted, and he should no longer remember that he had ever [lived]! But he actually still remembers Merlin, and remembers that his memory was closed!
"Miracle...!" The mage could not find another word to describe it.
"Miracles?" Boles climbed out of the glass container: "Is this mission to find [miracles]?"
"No, it's not... uh... let me think about it..." Merlin muttered to himself, looking quite hysterical. If he didn't know the whole story, he would definitely think that this person was...
The white-haired mage is a lunatic. Most magicians give people the impression of being crazy.
Bors moved his body as if nothing had happened. His artificial muscles made of mithril did not make the unpleasant squeaking sound of metal friction when moving like other golems. Instead, they were as soft and elastic as real flesh, and terrifyingly quiet.
.
"Boles," Merlin thought for a long time before speaking: "I have to admit that activating you this time was a complete accident. I didn't have any tasks assigned to you. ------Maybe you should
Lie down in the glass container and sleep again?"
While saying this, Merlin looked expectantly at the half-open and half-closed magic core on Bors's chest, hoping to see the light in the core dim. Perhaps in this way, Bors could truly rest in peace.
Everything is a momentary accident.
Miracles cannot happen. Miracles must not last.
However, instead of dimming, the core became brighter and shimmered in the dark laboratory.
[Miracle], miraculously survived.
Boles was obviously a little unhappy: "Master Mage, you woke me up without anything important?"
The dragon-man golem himself had no idea that it was impossible to activate the golem's core without the master's order. He thought Merlin was joking by activating him casually, but in fact it was completely different.
Merlin looked very embarrassed, but he couldn't help but began to be curious about Boles. Regardless of how the core was activated for no reason, how did Boles, who was not charged, move up to this point?!
Did Merlin inadvertently create a perpetual motion machine?! He traveled through millions of time and space, and continued to study for hundreds of millions of years, but could never realize the eternal subject. Was he accidentally created?
This world has always followed the principle of equivalent exchange. If you want to get something, you must give something. If you get something but never have to pay, that is a miracle! The energy in Boles' body that comes out of nothing and changes out of thin air is created out of thin air.
The soul that came out cannot be explained except by [miracle]!
A golem that was supposed to be discarded was suddenly full of mysteries. The mage would not waste this good opportunity for research! Although he wanted to study it, he did not dare to dismantle Bors. Merlin was afraid that he would be alone.
I accidentally broke this "perpetual motion machine"!
He needs more time and longer-term observation to understand what magical transformation has occurred in Boles' body. It is best to conduct the test under extreme conditions away from power sources and all human settlements.
"Ahem, that's right." The clever mage Merlin coughed dryly and thought of an excuse: "Bols, you are responsible for traveling around the world and retrieving the key fragments of the World Wall that are scattered in the corners of the world.
bring it on."
This task is by no means easy. The key to the wall of the world was used once and immediately scattered into seven fragments, flying in different directions. They are now hidden deep in a corner of the earth, even if there are key fragments in the body
Bores of the detector, it would be as difficult as going to the sky to retrieve them.
"Master Mage, is this necessary?" Even Bors thought Merlin's order was crazy.
"That's ridiculous! Just go if I tell you to!" Merlin used false anger to cover up his inner uncertainty: "The key fragments may not be useful for the time being, but in the long run, it is better to collect them!"
"That's it. The mage is really far-sighted." Boles praised without emotion, which made Merlin feel chilled in his heart.
At the same time, there was another slight sobbing sound outside the laboratory.
"What is that?" Boles looked in the direction of the cry.
"It's Elaine." Merlin sighed softly: "You know. The war is over, and the child has no use. The knight Kador originally planned to adopt the child and another named Constant at the same time.
Ding's child, but the knight never came again. I'm afraid he doesn't plan to take Elaine away. Sigh... I'll wait until I pack up the things in this old institute and move to the new institute.
By that time, that child will also be sent to an orphanage. Although it's a bit pitiful, I really can't spare the time to take care of such a naughty child."
The dragon-man golem was silent for a while.
He suddenly understood something.
Boles walked straight out of the research room and pushed open the cold iron door of the research room with his cold metal hands.
He looked around and saw the young white bear man sitting alone on the cold floor.
In fact, Elaine was wiping tears, but she didn't dare to disturb the people in the institute, so she could only sob quietly.
The world is so big that there is no place for it.
Throw away after use, not worth a penny.
The aliens, idiots, and wastes who are rejected by the world can only tremble in the dark corners without being noticed.
Living alone, just for the moment that disappears.
...That is, how unbearable.
Boles suddenly understood his true mission.
"Hey, kid." The dragon-man golem slowly walked up to the white bear boy and said gently: "Don't you have somewhere to go?"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Elaine was still sobbing softly. Maybe he was desperate for the world, or maybe he was numb. He didn't answer, and he didn't intend to answer.
"I accepted the order from the Master Mage. Next, I will travel around the world to search for fragments of the World Wall." Bors whispered. He was stunned for a long time before saying the last words:
"If you think you have nowhere to go, would you like to come with me?"
The white bear boy's whole body trembled.
After a long time, Elaine raised her head and stared blankly at the dragon-man demon Bors.
"Do you need...need me?" he asked tremblingly.
Boles responded without emotion: "That will be a dangerous journey. Bringing a little assistant may be the most reasonable choice. Unless you------"
Plop. The white bear man boy didn't say a word, and threw himself into the arms of the dragon man golem. Ordinary people simply couldn't withstand the attack of the huge white bear man. But as a dragon man golem, Bors was like an unstoppable tower.
The moving mountain took everything Elaine had to bear.
No longer scrupulous, the young man cried loudly and kept crying. His cries continued to echo and vibrate in the research institute. It seemed as if he wanted to release all the grievances he had accumulated for a long time.
Bols didn't speak, just kept his original standing position, waiting quietly for the child to finish crying and fall asleep from exhaustion. Bols's cold and inorganic body, in the eyes of the sleeping White Bear boy, was full of energy.
A warm home.
The world is so big that there is no place for it.
Only I am your only destination.
No.
Boles looked at the sleeping White Bear boy and suddenly realized.
Just the opposite.
Only you are my only destination.
Even though I am home all over the world, I have experienced endless wandering.
