Wasteland Echoer

"What do you think?" the young man in front of him asked in a joking tone:

"Is it possible that I am looking for you to fall in love? Don't be kidding me. At this point, I have lost all my patience."

As he said that, the young man stepped on the ground about four or five meters away from the "Daughter of Tool Yuan" and stopped.

Immediately afterwards, he controlled all the tentacles to droop down, and lowered the "Crazy Bear" pistol to the ground. After thinking for a few seconds, he raised his head and stared at the face of the "Daughter of Mechanical Yuan" with his pure black eyes.

"Mr. Wright Sugra, it is indeed you." "The Girl of Tool Yuan" snorted coldly and said:

"I know the rules of Crusted. After all, I was 'born' there. You made prayers and truces to me. As a god, I must respond to your appeal. This is what the Creator has set for us. One of the many unreasonable principles. I think you should have heard that as long as a mortal can successfully enter the realm of gods, his first two demands, as long as they do not involve the gods themselves and do not violate the Creator's principles, We all have to satisfy you.”

With a tiny flash of electric arc, the hand cannon of "Daughter of the Mechanical Element" disappeared and turned back into the mechanical palm with large black and white metals arranged in staggered patterns.

Seeing His behavior, Wright had a disdainful smile on his lips. He shook his head slightly and asked:

"Am I not your apostle? Why, is this the attitude towards your subordinates?"

"Apostle? Haha." "Daughter of Mechanical Yuan" sneered, "Have you ever promoted the concept of machinery? Have you ever promoted my name? You have never done anything for me, so how can you be my apostle? ?The so-called 'apostle' is nothing more than a rumor, and the Lord of Machines has never given me this kind of power."

"As far as I know, apart from the 'Goddess of Light', the only one who can still send apostles to mankind is the 'Lord of the Night'. You should have noticed that there are many humans around who believe in the Lord of the Dark Night. There are a small number of people who believe in the 'Goddess of Light', but for the rest, except for the 'Lord of Machinery', I have not heard of believers in other gods in the vast territory of the Western Continent."

"So, I... am the apostle of the 'Goddess of Light'?" Wright asked in disbelief.

Sure enough, in the first few days after waking up, Ward, the owner of the small shop next to his residence, was right. He believed in the "Goddess of Light" and most residents of the city of Sogra believed in the "Lord of the Night." So many secrets about myself have been answered by this god, so... for the time being, I should continue this conversation and try to figure out all the secrets.

As soon as he entered the "Restricted Gate", he saw the "Daughter of the Mechanical Element" and Luo Nie, who had been exploring here together before. However, his way was blocked by a large dark purple cover. As a last resort, he used the power of the red magic source. and guns, and they smashed them around to create a gap.

As soon as he broke in, Luo Nie entered another door and disappeared. He... was not an important person, just a mechanical body. Maybe he came here to ask for help from the gods. But it seems that... the feeling of looking at him from a distance this time is very different from before, with a touch of intimacy.

No...you shouldn't think about this. Luo Nie is not important. The real value is the god "Daughter of Mechanical Yuan" in front of you. You have to figure out so many secrets in your body, and even more, you have to seize the mechanical core of the god and fight for it. Destroy it. In this way, we can put an end to the idea of ​​the Socra Committee to open a "paradise" through "Raleye's Dream".

Thinking quickly, the "Daughter of Tool Yuan" did not respond to Wright's question just now. She was trying to read Wright's heart, understand the power contained in his body, and then make effective analysis to deal with the possible battle. .

Unfortunately, he found that no matter how much magic power he surged, the information displayed by Wright always seemed to be covered with a thick black cloth, making it impossible to decipher at all.

Simply, he had no choice but to speak slowly:

"You were originally not only an apostle of the 'Goddess of Light', but also an apostle of the 'Lord of the Night'. However, as far as I know, you are just a messy patchwork now."

"Of course, you are right." Wright, who recovered from his brief thought, nodded slightly and admitted:

"Your information network must be wider than that of the empire. This body of mine belongs to the young guard named 'Light'. My soul does not belong to this world, and my power, if you haven't guessed If you are wrong, you belong to the apostle of God. Of course, this is why I came to you."

"What do you want to know?" "The Girl of Tool Yuan" asked directly.

"The power in my body...what exactly is it? What fate will it bring to me?"

"You are referring to the 'red magic source power', right?" "The Girl of Tool Yuan" directly said the name of the power.

"Of course. This is the cry of the original owner of my body before he died. Do you know? Although I occupy this body, I am still suffering from the confusion and pain all the time, as well as the despair and despair when facing death. helpless."

"The words written on the nearly torn note have always lingered in my mind, and I can't get rid of it. 'We will all fall into darkness, and no one will be saved. Except, the red magic source power...' I want to know The secret of the red magic source power, I hope... no, I beg you to tell me!" Wright demanded excitedly.

"I can't refuse your request, Wright. But my knowledge is indeed limited. I can only answer part of it for you. The rest requires you to go into the halls of gods one after another during the long journey ahead and ask them personally. ." "Daughter of Tool Yuan" responded.

"It doesn't matter if it's limited, I want to know everything you know!" Wright half yelled.

His voice was like an angry beast because he couldn't get prey. He not only forgot the motto "Humans cannot look directly at gods", but also ignored the identity of the god of the girl in front of him.

He has begun to become a little hysterical. He doesn't care about the punishment for violating taboos. After all, humans may not be able to step into the palace of gods in their lifetime. For him, this may be the reason why he, as a human, lives in the wasteland. the only time in.

Moreover, Wright was not sure whether the "Silence Advent" campaign launched by the Imperial Crown Prince Evante was completely over. Maybe the ambitious future ruler of the Empire who had achieved stage victory would bring the remaining howitzers and air defenses with him. The Sky Army, as well as the interpreted Crusted technology products, bombarded the yellow sand area in the center of the highland indiscriminately.

Maybe in a few minutes, maybe half an hour later, they will rush in here with weapons and "destroy" the place effortlessly.

As a result, Wright may never have the chance to discover the secrets of himself.

"'Red Magic Source Power' was created by our great Creator." The soft voice of "Daughter of Mechanical Yuan" was like the sound of nature, which temporarily suppressed Wright's anger.

"Our world comes from a terrible nightmare of the Creator. This dream initially spanned the long 'Seven Ages'. They are respectively the 'Time of Praise of Fire', 'The Long Time of Ice', and 'The Time of Lava'. 'The time of germination', 'the time of the formation of the universe', 'the time of the reproduction of the stars', 'the time of the call of life' and 'the time of graceful closure'."

"This period is quite long. From the initial dazzling explosion until the Creator completely fell into silence, it may have taken tens of thousands of years, or it may be hundreds of millions of years. During this period, many ancient and mysterious powers were born, the 'Red Demonic Source' "Power" was born in the original "Time of Praise of Fire," and after a bizarre and tortuous journey, it finally reached your hands."

"It sounds like it originated with the universe." Wright cursed:

"These 'seven epochs' are more like a summary of the history of the universe."

"Yes. In many perceptions, the Creator is the universe, and the universe is the Creator. This is the truth. Let's go back to the 'red magic source power'. In the final analysis, his birth is better than the five popular basic magic source powers and the three popular ones. The upper-level magic source power comes later. The power used by the Creator when creating the universe is the magic source power. However, the 'red magic source power' is not closely related to other magic source powers. It is independent of these eight categories and is called 'red magic source power'. The Lonely Prowler'." The "Daughter of Tool Yuan" continued.

"A lonely wanderer?"

"That's right. Generally speaking, there will be 'elemental reactions' of varying degrees and shapes between the magic sources. For example, the power of 'fire' will be reduced by half when it faces 'water', but when it comes into contact with 'grass and trees' It will be extremely strong. Although the 'red magic source power' manifests itself as fire, it will not react with any magic source power. Then again, this is an era of declining magic, and people believe in the powerful power brought by steam machinery. Coupled with the endless trampling of nature by humans, the 'lost ones' and the 'unintentional ones', the power of the magic source is irreversible." It is not difficult to hear a hint of disappointment in the tone of the "Daughter of Tool Yuan".

"So, how to explain the despair that the 'red magic source power' brings to people?" Wright asked further.

"It's its 'heritage'."

"'Inheritance'? How do you understand it?"

"Compared with ordinary magic source power, 'red magic source power' is more like a thought, a concept, or a skill. It will not be created out of thin air, let alone disappear out of thin air. Whenever a holder dies When the time comes, it will be acquired by another person under the arrangement of fate. Each user can pour his most proficient skills or his most important power into it, and then resonate with it to exert more powerful power. "

"In other words, if I, as a 'machine body', obtain the 'red magic source power', my mechanical body and the 'Light of Enemy Locking', my most valued skill, will resonate with it and be affected by it. Strengthen. When my body is annihilated and you gain the 'red magic source power', a certain part of your body will become a machine, and you will also gain the ability of 'Light that Locks the Enemy'."

"The 'inheritance' from generation to generation has given the red magic source power more and more complex power. Every time it is accepted by someone, it will also have a unique cultural imprint. When using its power, you may be able to feel all the previous ones. The user seems to be right next to you, fighting side by side with you. This is romantic, but for humans who have less exposure to mystery and extraordinary power, it is synonymous with 'unpredictable fear'." "Daughter of Tool Yuan ” explained in as much detail as possible.

"So, the powers I can use and the face I saw, 'Red-faced Hain', are all 'inherited' by the previous users?" Wright looked at the tentacles behind him in disbelief. If there is Thoughts.

"Of course." "The Girl of Tool Yuan" nodded and said:

"I can't know all the users of the 'Red Magic Source Power', but at least, in the 'Chaos Era' before humans appeared, that is, what some scholars call the '0th Era' before the birth of 'wisdom', on the earth Some of the ancient creatures and deep-sea gods have owned it.”

"The tentacles behind you, if I remember correctly, should be called the 'Touch of Dark Enchantment'." "The Girl of Mechanical Element" asked, pointing to the tentacles hanging down behind Wright, but still squirming unconsciously.

"That's right." Wright nodded and admitted.

"It is exclusive to one of the ancient gods of the deep sea, 'Dipser'. A long time ago, my master, the Lord of Machines, told me his story. Under the dark deep sea, in an ancient palace covered with sticky plants, he survived There are several ancient gods who have been sleeping for a long time. They are more mysterious than us, more elusive, and even less able to spy on their existence."

"Fortunately, they have been sleeping all year round. Only believers who believe in the divine sequence of the Old Ones can awaken them through evil rituals. Dipser is not the strongest, but he has ruled at least one-seventh of the ocean. Domain, by the way, the continent at that time was much smaller than it is now, almost only the area of ​​Crusted plus the Flame Empire."

"Dipser had a war with 'Cthulhu' for the 'Temple of the Old' in his early years. Originally, its power and followers were inferior to Cthulhu, but it relied on the three lines of darkness strengthened by the power of the red magic source. Tentacle, He narrowly defeated Cthulhu and forced it into the center of the dark temple."

"In the last battle, one tentacle pierced his heart, one pierced his octopus eyeball, and one cut off his wings. But at the most desperate moment, Cthulhu relied on his huge body to The last bit of strength broke all the stone pillars supporting the temple. As the temple collapsed, they were buried deep under the sea forever. Over the years, not many people have seen them again."

After "The Daughter of Mechanical Element" finished speaking, she seemed to have an emotional resonance with the story. She lowered her head and paused for a while, then raised her head again unusually slowly, looked at Wright, and said:

"So, the 'Touch of Darkness' is a product that was strengthened after Dipsel resonated with the red magic power. Whether in combat or unconsciously, when the red magic power is activated, there will be Probability uses its power.

"So..." Wright guessed:

"The former owner of my body...maybe he accidentally activated his power, summoned the 'Touch of Darkness', and shot himself in extreme panic. I think, as someone who has been educated for many years, he has a firm understanding A [Warrior] with such a pair of strange tentacles, it is hard not to think that he was affected by the 'red magic source power' and mutated. Sugra usually does not hesitate to immediately deal with mutants found in the city. Execution. In panic, in order not to harm his compatriots and avoid being executed in humiliation, he had no choice but to shoot himself in the heart and end his life.

"After all, the weakness of the 'Heartless Man' is the heart. And the full text of that weird note, I think, should be: 'We will all fall into darkness, and no one will be saved. Except those who are harmed by the power of the red magic source. .After all, we will fall into hell sooner."

The secrets about Wright are beginning to be revealed!
