I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Although the battleship is not as big as the Mo Cang, it is much more spacious and comfortable than the cruiser.

In the room, Qi Yan watched Huo Linyuan take the spiritual marrow out of the box and then split it into two.

He put the remaining half back into the box, then took the other half and said to Qi Yan, "Dandan, do you want to learn mecha manufacturing?"

He had asked this question before, and Qi Yan naturally gave a positive answer: "Yes."

Huo Linyuan touched him, then took off a black space button from his neck.

As he pressed the switch, a huge pure black mecha unfolded in the room.

Due to space limitations, the mecha could only be in a half-kneeling position, but even so, its huge body still brought a huge visual impact to Qi Yan like a small mountain.

The entire mecha has a smooth shape and beautiful lines. It exudes absolute power and awe-inspiring dominance. The pure black and gold shell brings shock and oppression that goes straight to the soul.

However, what really shook Qi Yan was the mottled traces of battle all over his body.

From those scars, it is not difficult to see how fierce the battle it had experienced was.

"This is Hei Yao, my partner." Huo Linyuan introduced to Qi Yan.

Obsidian, the first legendary mecha in interstellar history, has accompanied Huo Linyuan through countless battles. The glory he created has not been broken to this day.

At this time, the mecha slowly raised its head, and a deep and vicissitudes voice sounded: "I thought you would never wake me up again in this life."

Qi Yan looked at the faint light emanating from the eyes of the mecha's head, but the light flickered and seemed like it would go out at any time and be reduced to complete darkness.

Hei Yao noticed Qi Yan's presence and said in surprise: "This is... I didn't expect you to find it."

After a moment, he sighed quietly, his vicissitudes and tired voice was filled with relief: "That's great, this will put my mind at ease."

"Heiyao, this is Dandan, it's me..." Huo Linyuan paused, and Qi Yan instantly perked up.

For some reason he suddenly felt nervous, as if he was meeting his friend's parents.

Huo Linyuan lowered his head and looked at Qi Yan. Qi Yan saw infinite tenderness in his eyes. Then he opened his thin lips and said, "This is someone I would risk my life to protect."

Risking my life... to protect? These words kept echoing in Qi Yan's mind. What a heavy promise it was.

Qi Yan knew that once Huo Linyuan said it, he would definitely do it.

But I am just an egg, is it really worth him to value me so much? Although I thought so rationally, in fact, Qi Yan's heart had already become uncontrollably happy.

What Huo Linyuan said was not only to show how important Qi Yan was to him, but also a statement and an instruction, meaning that even if he was not around in the future, Hei Yao would protect Qi Yan as he had protected him.

"Oh?" Hei Yao's vicissitudes of life voice passed by his ears, like an old man suddenly waking up from his sleep.

Then, Qi Yan felt a light with a strong sense of scrutiny falling on herself.

Huo Linyuan gently hugged Qi Yan with his hands, blocking half of his sight without leaving a trace.

Seeing this, Hei Yao retracted his gaze and said, "Forget it. I am just a piece of scrap copper and iron hanging on by a breath. I can't control your business. Just go ahead..."

Before he could finish his words, Hei Yao let out a heavy groan, and then he simply fell on his back.

"I don't have much time left. Next time... Never mind. If you have anything to say, just say it as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, the light in his metal eye sockets flickered violently twice.

Qi Yan looked at Hei Yao quietly, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The battle that injured Huo Linyuan's mental strength not only took away Huo Linyuan's health, but also destroyed Hei Yao.

In the original text, Obsidian never appeared again after that battle. The author explained that the damage was too severe to be repaired, which led to the birth of the second legendary mecha.

During this short period of contact, Hei Yao gave Qi Yan the feeling of not being a war machine, but more like an elder.

In the article, the legendary mecha not only possesses powerful combat capabilities, but also has independent thinking ability, which means that Obsidian, like them, is an independent thinking individual.

In fact, it was just as Qi Yan thought. As someone who had read the entire text, Qi Yan knew very well how Huo Linyuan felt about Hei Yao.

To Huo Linyuan, Hei Yao is both a father and a friend.

Obsidian was created by Huo Linyuan's great-grandmother, the mecha master Ying Zhao, with all her life's hard work. It caused a sensation as soon as it was released, but Obsidian did not have an owner until Huo Linyuan was born.

Huo Linyuan's mother died early and his father ran away from home when he was very young. Although Marshal Huo loved his only grandson, he was an interstellar marshal after all and was busy with affairs.

In addition, at this time, the conflict between the royal family and the military was intensifying, and they were walking on thin ice everywhere. Naturally, they could not spare much time to participate in Huo Linyuan's growth.

When he was a child, Huo Linyuan was like an abandoned puppy, lonely and cold. Compared with other children of the same age, he understood his responsibilities and mission too early.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, he was always ahead of others in everything, and at a young age he became the backbone and guiding force of the group.

But even if you are surrounded by brothers and friends, it cannot make up for the lack of family affection.

The one who truly filled this gap was Heiyao. Heiyao accompanied Huo Linyuan through every step of his life and witnessed Huo Linyuan's growth.

Qi Yan had experienced separation, so she naturally understood the pain of separation.

He felt sad for Huo Linyuan, but then he suddenly realized that Huo Linyuan would never do anything meaningless. In the original text, he had never awakened Hei Yao again after that battle.

But he suddenly did this now. Qi Yan looked at the half piece of spiritual marrow in his hand and thought of a possibility.

Sure enough, he then heard Huo Linyuan say to Hei Yao: "I found the spiritual essence."

After saying that, he squatted down beside Hei Yao holding Qi Yan in his arms, and then raised the spiritual essence in his hand in front of the other person.

The light in Hei Yao's eyes flickered violently twice, followed by a long silence.

Huo Linyuan touched Qi Yan and continued, "Thanks to Dandan."

Huh? Qi Yan felt a little embarrassed to be praised in front of others all of a sudden, especially since this "person" was the equivalent of Huo Linyuan's father.

Hei Yao looked at the spiritual essence in Huo Linyuan's hand for a long time without any reaction. At this time, the spiritual essence was wrapped in a thick isolation membrane, isolating it from spiritual power contact.

But even so, Hei Yao could recognize it at a glance. He went from being in disbelief at first to being so shocked that he was speechless.

What is the Spiritual Essence? The Spiritual Essence is like the heart of a legendary mecha. This is why Huo Linyuan can build a second legendary mecha in the original text, but cannot repair the Obsidian.

Ordinary mechas are driven by energy boxes, but for legendary mechas, the spiritual essence is their power core.

After a long while, Hei Yao shifted his gaze from the spiritual essence to Qi Yan:

"Thank you, little one."
