The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

The demon who guarded the gate took the two passes from Xiu, and after confirming that they were correct, he looked at Du Ze and the demon sisters behind Xiu and said, "Only two people can pass through."

Xiu pointed to himself and Du Ze. "Just me and him."

"Jiubi." The little phoenix on Du Ze's head chirped, showing its presence.

The gatekeeper demon stared at the trembling yellow hair ball: "What is this? Chicken?"

Do you believe it when I say this is Phoenix?

Du Ze exuded a gloomy aura expressionlessly.Ever since he woke up, Du Ze found that the hair ball had made a home on his head.Although the little phoenix was still shaking all the time, it was completely used to shaking and shaking. After pawing at Raduze's black hair with its small paws, it squatted down in satisfaction.Whenever Du Ze tried to get it off, Little Phoenix would bite Du Ze's hair and would not let go.

The gatekeeper Mozu glanced at Little Phoenix and lost interest. He put away the pass and rang the long bell.The heavy gate of the fortress was slowly lifted, and a black swamp appeared in front of everyone. Thin fog permeated the swamp, and a strong rotten smell came oncoming.This is the swamp of death. It used to be the battlefield of the celestial race and the demon race, as well as the battlefield of dwarves and undead.As long as you cross the dead swamp, you can enter the lost land.

Xiu pulled Du Ze through the gate without hesitation, and Du Ze couldn't help turning his head to look at the demon sisters.Even though they had said goodbye beforehand, Vera was still sobbing. Alice stood aside and hugged her sister tenderly. Noticing Du Ze's gaze, the girl in red smiled, and her voice came from afar.

"Bon voyage, Mr. Xiu, Mr. Du Ze. We will be your most loyal servants at any time."

The heavy gate of the fort closed again, cutting off the girl's smile and voice.

After walking into the death swamp, the rotten smell rushed straight into his nose.Little Phoenix sneezed several times in a row, and the biggest one even spewed out small flames, which burned a few of Du Ze's hairs.

Du Ze: ...

Xiu stopped, and he softly recited a few syllables.A breeze blew by, and Du Ze immediately felt that the air was much fresher. This is a very useful small-scale wind magic, at least it is very effective in saving a certain stupid hair.

"Be careful with your feet."

Stepping on the black mud has a kind of suction that will sink in. Xiu and Du Ze walked on the swamp for a while, and suddenly a black figure appeared vaguely in the mist in front of them.Xiu and Du Ze stopped in their tracks, but the shadow on the opposite side was still alarmed.The black figure was about three meters high. It turned around, and two blue lights appeared in the mist.

Xiu stood in front of Du Ze and chanted a few incantations. A gust of wind instantly tore through the thin mist, revealing the whole black shadow.It was a tall robot with long and big hands, wrapped in iron chains, with a star painted on its left chest, a metallic iron-gray body, and blue light as its eyes.

Du Ze instantly had the illusion of traveling to a sci-fi world. He knew that the robot on the opposite side was called a mechanical puppet in "Mixed Blood", and it was one of the most famous works of the dwarves.

The blue light in the mechanical puppet's eyes glanced at Xiu and Du Ze, and it issued an electronically synthesized sound: "Di—Lifeform X3 found; make race judgment, do—not a dwarf race; make camp judgment, do—unrecognizable; carry out Comprehensive judgment, drop—activate the enemy plan C, and expel the living body."

The blue light in the mechanical puppet's eyes flickered, it faced Du Ze and Xiu, and its voice suddenly became louder.

"Warning! Please leave this place within 10 seconds, otherwise you will be attacked. 10, 9, 8..."

Seeing that Xiu had no intention of leaving, Du Ze pulled Laxiu. "Do you want to fight?"

Xiu seemed a little taken aback. "What's wrong?"

"It doesn't mean..." Seeing Xiu's reaction, Du Ze suddenly had a bad guess. "you do not understand?"

Du Ze always thought that the mechanical puppet was speaking the lingua franca of the mainland, but now he remembered that "Mixed Blood" said that the mechanical puppet spoke the dwarf language. The invisible existence just translated for him.It's like a foreigner speaking a foreign language in front of him. He has a translation machine that can understand it, but he can't tell whether the other party is speaking French or Russian.

Xiu nodded and asked, "What did it say?"

Before Du Ze could answer, the countdown of the mechanical puppet had come to an end.

"...3, 2, 1, switch to attack mode." The blue light in the mechanical puppet's eyes turned red. "Mark the target, share the target information, drop--start the expulsion."

The mechanical puppet pulled out the iron chain on its body, and rushed over with heavy steps.

Xiu pulled out his sword and took the initiative to meet him.Seeing Xiu approaching, the mechanical puppet waved both hands, and threw the thick iron chains at Xiu together.The sword in Xiu's hand slashed on the iron chain with a "clank", sparks shot out.The colorless grudge poured on the iron chain through the sword, producing an unimaginable destructive power. The iron chains of the mechanical puppets broke one by one, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

However, even if all the iron chains were broken, Xiu had no choice but to retreat.He looked at the sword in his hand. This was a sword bought in Agares City. Even with the blessing of fighting spirit, there were still a few cracks on the sword, which was enough to show the horror of the power of the mechanical puppet.The mechanical puppet didn't care about the severed iron chain, it pulled out several iron chains from its body, and launched another attack.

This time Xiu didn't connect the iron chain, he silently recited a few mantras, and the breeze blew his blond hair.Xiu slightly bent his legs, then jumped up to an unattainable height—as if the wind lifted him high, the light shone from behind the blond young man, and the cast shadow cast a shadow on the mechanical puppet below. shrouded.Xiu held the sword in both hands, the blade was filled with fighting energy, and when it fell, it stabbed fiercely into the head of the mechanical puppet.

The sword was finally overwhelmed and shattered, and at this time the head of the mechanical puppet was completely destroyed.The headless mechanical puppet paused for a moment, then stretched out its big hand trying to grab Xiu standing on its shoulder.Xiu was almost caught by the mechanical puppet, and he jumped off the mechanical puppet, panting slightly as he watched the mechanical puppet waving his hands.The head is probably the information collection part of the mechanical puppet. At this time, the headless mechanical puppet is spinning around in place, trying to find its enemy.

To stop the mechanical puppet, its power center must be destroyed, but there is no need to destroy it at this time.Du Ze and Xiu bypassed the headless mechanical puppet and continued to move forward.

On the way, Xiu asked about the previous conversation: "What did the mechanical puppet say just now?"

Du Ze told Xiu what the mechanical puppet had said, and Xiu thought about it after listening.They saw several mechanical puppets on the road, and they avoided them because they discovered them in time.But as it gets deeper and deeper, the number of mechanical puppets gradually increases, from 1 or 2 to 4 or 5 appearing together, the range they can avoid becomes narrower and narrower, and sometimes it takes a long time to go around. Avoid those patrolling mechanical puppets.

Xiu and Du Ze walked for a while, and then heard the faint sound of fighting.The wind from the battle blew away the fog, and what appeared in front of them was a huge mechanical puppet, which was twice the size of the previous mechanical puppets, and the stars on the chest also became two.Confronting the two-star mechanical puppets were two demons. At this time, they were in a state of embarrassment, and they were all injured to varying degrees.

Xiu thought for a while, and then asked Du Ze to wait for him at the same place.Qian Bian turned into the shape of the magic knife burning desire, Xiu shook the magic knife uncomfortably, and joined the battle.With Xiu's help, the Mozu finally got rid of the huge mechanical puppet.

Among them, the demons who were relatively lightly injured came over to thank them: "We are the guards of Agares City, thank you for your assistance."

"What happened?" Xiu glanced at the fallen mechanical puppet: "Why are there so many mechanical puppets?"

"We are also investigating the reason." The demon frowned distressedly: "I don't know what happened to the Lost Land, these metal bumps are all activated, and they attack when they see anyone-you have also met those people before. Is it the mechanical puppet of the star?" He gestured on his chest, and then pointed to the huge mechanical puppet: "This is the mechanical puppet of the second star, its strength is ten times that of those of the first star, and it is about the level of a great swordsman." Demon Race Finally pointing forward, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. "If you continue to move forward, you will find that there are all two-star mechanical puppets lined up densely together."

Wen Yanxiu was silent.The two demons decided to return due to their injuries. After they left, Du Ze walked up to Xiu and heard the blond young man say in a young voice, "I have an idea... let's try it."

Five days later.

The death swamp was still filled with mist, and a one-star mechanical puppet wandered aimlessly. Suddenly, it glanced at two figures.

"Drip—found life form X3; make race determination, drop—find dwarf race!" The blue light in the mechanical puppet's eyes kept flickering. "Conduct identity determination, drop—no such person found, initially determined as an individual left behind by the system; carry out comprehensive judgment, drop—activate protection plan A, and escort the individual to the 'home'."

The huge body of the mechanical puppet knelt heavily in front of the small figure, stretched out its hand, and quietly waited for the master's response.The flaxen-haired dwarf grabbed the black-haired youth beside him, and raised his head, revealing a pair of amber eyes. "What did it say?"

Du Ze's gaze flicked between Xiu and the mechanical puppet. The dwarf's small stature was contrasted by the two-meter-high mechanical puppet, making him even more miniature, but it was this contrast that showed an indescribable shock.He repeated dryly what the mechanical puppet had said. After listening, Xiu stared at the hand of the mechanical puppet spread out in front of his eyes, and said to Du Ze, "You hug me, and then sit on it."

A hole burst into Du Ze's brain in an instant: these words, coupled with the tender look of the cute master at this time, is almost like a child who wants to be hugged.

A certain idiot who had lost his avatar bent down and clumsily hugged Xiu in his arms.Xiu's slender arms wrapped around Du Ze's neck, he rested his chin on Du Ze's shoulder, his eyes were attracted by the earlobe that was close at hand: it seemed very soft...

The mechanical puppet stood up holding Du Ze, and Du Ze felt his ear was rubbed hard by the momentary jolt.The mechanical puppet started to run, and Du Ze had to grab its shoulders to avoid falling. The place where it was rubbed was so hot that he couldn't help but want to cover it with ice to cool it down.

On the road, they saw all kinds of mechanical puppets, they would stop after seeing Xiudu, and watch them leave solemnly like soldiers being paraded.The closer they got to the Lost Land, the more mechanical puppets there were, and the number of stars on their chests rose from one to three, and then all they saw were three-star mechanical puppets all over the sky.Du Ze was terrified when he saw it. If Xiu hadn't transformed into a dwarf, they would have ended up rushing in from the outside only to die.

The outer membrane of the Lost Land is getting closer and closer. It is a layer of milky white diaphragm, as long as you pass through it, you can enter the Lost Land.The mechanical puppet passed through the barrier without a single pause. Du Ze looked at the familiar scene, whether it was the ice crystal ground, the upper and lower sky, or the beam of light in the distance, all gave him the illusion of being reborn as a human.

After entering the Lost Lands, the mechanical puppet took out a mechanical flying saucer and activated it.The small flying saucer flew up to lead the way with a buzzing sound, and the mechanical puppet followed closely.Du Ze has been using Tsundere to describe the Lost Land before, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that the Lost Land is like a large formation, and walking around the beam of light is a solution, but not the only way.The road leading to the beam of light is far more than this one. The gnomes alone have found no less than ten roads, and the fastest road can reach the beam of light in just one day.

When the mechanical puppet carried Du Ze and Xiu into the beam of light, what appeared in front of them was a metal pyramid that was completely open. It was still activated, and as soon as they entered, they could see the huge eye of space at the bottom.The small flying saucer flew above the mechanical puppet, and a beam of red light enveloped everyone.Du Ze felt a sense of weightlessness in his body, and they were guided by the small flying saucer into the Eye of Space.

As it got closer and closer to the eye of space, the red light of the small flying saucer became brighter and brighter, even so dazzling that it was almost impossible to see outside.The moment he entered the Eye of Space, Du Ze just felt dizzy, but he didn't lose consciousness.After the red light enveloping them gradually faded, Du Ze was stunned for a moment looking at the scene outside.

——He seems to have returned to the 21st century.

This is a city made of steel. Gray is the main color of the entire city. Machines of various sizes and shapes can be seen everywhere on the streets. Some of them have lost energy and collapsed quietly in the corner, while others are still active.Du Ze looked up, but he couldn't see the sky. The whole city seemed to be built underground or in a cave, and the city was lit up like day by large and small balls of light.

He knew the name of this city, Du Ze's heart began to beat, and he seemed to hear the main plot of "Mixed Blood" whispering to him.

Welcome to...the Gnome Ruins.

[Explore the gnome ruins: No grade task.Go to the gnome ruins to find materials, the task level and rewards depend on the material level.Client: Mercenary Union. ]

The receptionist saw Xiu staring at the "Exploring Gnome Ruins" on the bulletin board, and she kindly suggested: "It's best not to try this task, the gnome ruins are not a good place to play."

"If my level evaluation is S after completing the task." Shaved asked expressionlessly: "Can my mercenary level increase?"

"Your current mercenary level is E. If you can get S-level materials..." The receptionist calculated and gave a reply: "Your mercenary level can be upgraded to A."

"Go ahead." Without any nonsense, Xiu directly put the mercenary certificate on the stage.

The receptionist also wanted to persuade her that she was really reluctant to send such a beautiful creature to die.But when the receptionist saw the almost indifferent gaze of the elf opposite, she sighed and began to accept the task.
