Chapter 121 The Secret of the Lake (Part 1)

"Oh? Lake?" Wright had a trace of doubt and glanced back subconsciously. Then, he glanced past Brett, and finally settled back on Melinal.

"Before discussing the information about the lake, I would like to discuss the smell of the [Order] on you first. By the way, I have met Natasha, the [Goddess of Love] of the Church of Hope and Tenin Sect, but she has not met her. Passed me. And while I was imprisoned, he had contact with General George of the Socra Guards and the top brass of the Socra Committee." Melinaer showed a proud smile.

"Have you seen Natasha? Have you seen Natasha?" Wright was obviously a little excited.

His right hand holding the "Crazy Bear" pistol was even shaking constantly, and his eyes were staring directly at Melinare in front of him, showing a look of eagerness.

"No. To be precise, I was locked behind the frosted glass of the laboratory, and I slightly saw her outline, as well as the content of George's conversation with her." Melina's heart felt towards Natasha, who was also a woman. With a trace of sympathy, he deliberately concealed some key information and said:

"They first mentioned each other's identity, and then made ridiculous threats to each other. Later, George said angrily, 'The [Order] you divined is in my hands, and I know the details of this guy. Now that he is tainted with the power of the gods, I dare to believe that the child is no longer himself. I need to arrange tasks for him and let him take risks for us. Of course, I have also sent people to monitor him. Yes. He, you have no value now, so you need to sacrifice for the great dream.'

Melina consciously imitated George's standard male old general's voice and observed Wright's reaction.

"So, did George finally kill Natasha because of me? Or is it that the crazy woman didn't have to die in the first place, but just because I rejected her, she finally met the fate of death?"

Shock! Guilty! Incredible!

Chaotic and guilty emotions permeated Wright's four dimensions, making him suddenly feel like the world was spinning, and the whole world seemed to be beginning to become chaotic.

Wright did not hate the Socratic Council, nor did he hate George.

After all, this was the first person of status he met when he came to this world.

The one thousand new dollars was also the most valuable gift George gave him.

Even with the memory of Wright's previous body, he had no reason to hate it.

The mission of the army and the guard is to protect mankind, and it is their bounden duty to execute orders. Whether it is the battle of several city ruins in the northern border of the empire, or the mission in the outer area of ​​Socra, including the Lost Swamp, he moves forward without hesitation, and He went through life and death, and finally survived.

At least the Socratic Committee has always lived up to Wright in terms of remuneration and rewards. It not only paid on time and promoted according to the tasks, but also did not default on it.

Even though behind these tasks is the "Daughter of Tool Yuan" and "L'lye's Dream". But Wright opposed them because thousands of humans could die.

In all the education he received, the duty of an Imperial soldier was to protect humanity and restore order to the Empire as much as possible.

The Socratic Committee wants to construct a dream similar to "collective consciousness uploading", which may cause a city to disappear. This is an intolerable barbaric act.

But for Natasha, he has always felt guilty. Natasha was not only the first person in this world to give him the answer to "Magic Source Power", but also determined him through the sequence of cards [Order] 】identity of.

In the end, because she did not accept the invitation, Natasha was executed by the committee, which also made her passively accept the committee's orders and passively explore this dangerous world in a semi-confused attitude.

Kayas told him that Natasha is a loving and kind person. She has saved many orphans abandoned by the "City Happiness Act". She should not have fallen into a conspiracy and accepted such a cruel fate!

Thinking of this, Lightton felt his eyes moistened, as if something had been scratching his tear ducts and nostrils, making him feel a sense of sadness.

"Are you feeling pain in your heart? This is really an interesting emotion. This kind of pain that goes deep into the spirit and has a feeling of justice is really rare. In my impression, only the lost ones of us in the Church of Dark Night can feel it. . Could it be said that you are already a lost person?" Melinaer asked in a curious tone.

Seeing that Wright stood there like an ice sculpture and didn't make a sound, Melina actually showed an expression of concern and sympathy.

Silver moonlight swayed, mixed with a moist breeze pouring in from the window.

There seemed to be some kind of ancient creature tumbling in the lake surrounded by steel, and there was a clear sound of water. The mist formed by the dispersing water vapor gradually became thicker, permeating the ruins of this city where "death" and "life" coexist.

"Since Natasha will cause you pain, let's first talk about the information about the 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element' associated with the lake. The documents I saw from John, George and the committee, and overheard The conversation showed that there are two different ways to open the divine realm of the 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element'." Melinal didn't mind sharing this "secret that almost everyone knows" with the three Wrights.

"Which two?" Brett suddenly asked.

Melina did not respond directly to Brett, she just glanced at him contemptuously, then took two steps forward, holding Wright's gun-holding right hand gently and slowly with both hands, leaning forward, tilting her head and staring at Wright's slightly... With a fair and handsome face, he whispered as if he was looking at a work of art:

"The first is to disperse the quicksand by reciting the 'Confused Song', find the lake where the 'Vita Water' exists, sneak into it, and use the Burning Flame Emblem, the Dark Blood Emblem and the Tomorrow Emblem to start a great journey. Stone gate, and then continue to move forward according to the instructions of the god, you can truly contact him and obtain the oracle.

Second, it is still through singing and 'Vita Water', but it requires the use of a red magic source to break open the stone door. Finally, it is necessary to awaken the god's apostle summoned by the ritual, and under his leadership, force the god to search for His people serve. One is active and the other is forced. I believe that different behaviors will bring different results.

Most of the three major churches will choose the former, but for greedy humans, you seem to prefer both. "

As she spoke, she stretched out a pale finger and pointed in a circle at Wright, Brett and Miyou. Even her crooked head circled her neck as if doing a head exercise, and finally shook. , falling into the arms of the "crazy body" like a drunk.

Then, she suddenly burst into inexplicable laughter several times, and her skinless lips kept twisting and moving, as if they were mocking something, sarcastically, or even cursing something.

However, when pieces of flesh mixed with sticky scarlet liquid fell off her face, she suddenly stopped and changed back to an elegant posture.

"Do you know the secret? [Order]... little brother."

This was the first time that Wright was called by such a nickname. He suddenly walked out of the pain, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and responded:

"What... secret?"

"It's the silver-haired big guy next to you, the sequential monster that Brett Klein mentioned on the chariot. I can also hear the content of the 'Dark Words', I didn't expect it. Wright, your friend, and Your comrades fighting alongside you actually hid something so important from you." Melinaer said in a provocative tone.

"Wright," Brett admitted generously without directly refuting her content:

"That's right. Sugra's order is for me and Brett to take you hostage, throw you into that lake, contact the order monsters there, and obtain the 'Crest of Tomorrow'. But I said, Now this is the order given to me by the Socratic Committee. I will enter the lake on your behalf. Even if I die, I will complete it on your behalf. Your mission and value are far more important than mine. You should not be trapped. In danger.”

"Is...is that so? And, Brett, are you really not the person sent by Mr. George to monitor me? I really don't want to speculate on the people closest to me with the greatest malice. But Brett, you are a little bit more and more It makes me more and more confused." Wright shook his head and looked at Brett with disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened suddenly, and he made a few "haha" sounds like he was crying or laughing.

"By the way, do you really know the lake?" Melinaer's voice came out at an inappropriate time.

"Shut up!" Brett yelled angrily.

"So, you don't know, right?" Melinaer said to herself:

"A thousand years ago, the central lake, the Lost Swamp and the lakeside plain were a huge ocean, known as the ancient Mediterranean. However, due to human demands and climate changes, the seawater continued to evaporate, returning to the blue sky created by the Creator. . In that 'ancient Mediterranean' era, a huge river called the 'Donwu River' branched out from the ocean and nourished all living things here. However," Melina deliberately paused for a few seconds and borrowed He observed the reactions of the three people in front of him and then said:

"The ocean turned into a lake. Due to the topography, all the river water poured into the city, causing the old city to 'sink' into the water, while the new city relied on these water sources that never seemed to dry up. stood up again.

For a thousand years, countless divers have tried to explore the ancient ruins of the old city and explore the endless secrets underwater. However, none of them could successfully float and swim back to the shore. They all sank into the water and lost their traces.

Some people speculate that there are huge creatures in the water, and some people infer that the bottom of the water is connected to a different world. However, the Determinator's oracle indicates that there is a huge energy monster here, as well as the 'Crest of Tomorrow' that has been releasing energy for thousands of years. I don't know if the human Sequential Monster Foundation has also interpreted the same content, but judging from these steel walls, it seems that my inference is correct. "

"Another world, giant creatures, monsters, and... the crest of tomorrow. It seems that the committee already knows all my secrets, right? And I am the one who has been deceived, right? Although I don't I'm willing to admit this." Wright stared at Brett with angry eyes, his two eyeballs bulging, as if they were about to burst out of his eye sockets.

"No, this is not your fate. Wright, you have to know that the fate of human beings will also be borne by others. Okay, I will help you bear your fate now! You just need to remember that there once was an empire named Brett [Warrior] It would be great if it existed!" Brett said firmly and solemnly.

He breathed a sigh of relief, as if the weight that was crushing his huge body was lifted.

He looked at Melinaer with steady eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a smile appeared.

Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head slightly, half-bent, and looked straight at Melinal's terrifying face that was covered in scarlet blood and had lost all its skin.

"Ugly thing, dirty woman!" Brett yelled angrily.

He tightened the muscles of his right arm and slightly swung the "Blade of Kusha" with his right hand. With a flash of silver-white luster, he suddenly rushed in front of Melinal.

Then, he held the dagger back, his eyes revealing fierce killing intent.

At the same time, a ray of crimson moonlight reflected from the "Blade of Kusha" and flashed across everyone's eyes.

As Brett stepped back heavily with footsteps that almost cracked the ground, Melina actually covered her cheeks and let out a miserable roar.

"ah!!!!!!"

"ah!!!!!!"

"ah!!!!!!"

The resentment of the lost and the unique sharp voice of a woman emanated from her throat.

Wright and Miyu looked at Melinal at the same time. They were surprised to find that under Brett's attack with the beauty of strength and agility, Melinal's face full of exposed muscles was suddenly reduced to white bones.

The cut flesh and blood quickly turned up in the upper and lower directions of her face, turning into a ball of minced flesh. Finally, it turned into a pool of blood that could not be grasped, and all of it was splashed on her clothes. Under the illumination of the moonlight, it became extremely dim and lost the luster of life.

"'Originally I didn't want to kill, I just wanted to coerce you to take me to the Silent Highlands. But you didn't know what to do and launched the attack before I could tell my purpose. It seems that humans and the lost can only We have become eternal enemies. But here, no one near this lake can use the magic power, and can only rely on the power of the body to start the game. I think this is the fair duel place created by the monster!"

After saying that, Melinare took off his hands, but he did not look directly at the three Wrights, but quickly hid behind the "Crazy Body" to avoid Brett's possible second wave of attacks.

"Crazy body, kill him, kill him." Melina ordered in an almost crazy, manic tone and a sharp, choir soprano-like tone.

Almost at the same moment, the "mad body" let out an angry roar that looked like a wolf.

He tensed his muscles, exposing all the blood vessels visible to the naked eye, and looked at Brett angrily.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped on the ground with all his strength, and with the vibration, he swung his huge fist and hit Brett's head with silver hair and green eyes.
