Wasteland Echoer

"Sequence the cards?" Dak was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"I don't think it's necessary. If it's a career-related test, I think the results will be disappointing, at least until I find 'Pramini'."

"Oh?" "Lei Ye" asked curiously:

"Do you not trust me? Or have you performed divination before?"

"That's not true." Dak waved his hands helplessly and said:

"You should know about my information. Even if you didn't investigate it deliberately, Wulfya must have talked to you. There was a period when I mutated into a 'monster'. According to the theory of magic source power, I lost my 'wisdom' 'Sequence Core. I'm not confident that I have lost the favor of the Creator. If I don't get professional recognition, my future will be extremely painful."

"So, it's Christmas in Crusted soon, and I want to wait until I finish watching the fireworks show before accepting the possible painful fate that belongs to me."

"We might as well think about it in a different way." "Leiye" suggested:

"Just divination today. If you get its approval, wouldn't it be a very meaningful Christmas gift? Besides, I rarely do divination for people. After all, high-level things are very busy, but you are an exception. You There is a power in your body that makes me curious. I think once you complete the journey of searching for 'Plamini', your future will be limitless."

"Being awarded the rank of 'Dark Star' to 'Dawn' by the Federation? Or becoming a demigod?" Dak chuckled, supporting his knees with both hands and leaning on the back of the seat.

"None of them." "Lei Ye" affirmed.

"what is that?"

"God! Obtained the sequence core of the seven major demon sources, passed the test of demigods, and was promoted to god." "Lei Ye" said:

"Before you can obtain all of this, you must pass the test of sequence cards and obtain a profession. Besides, divination for others is free here."

"Free?" Dak thought for two seconds and then said:

"That's no problem!"

…

After simply adjusting her clothes, "Lei Ye" stood up and walked elegantly to the corner of the underground room. She tapped on the wall a few times. When the sound of hollowing out was heard, she took off two red bricks and threw them aside.

Then, she reached into the hollow area and twisted a stone switch inside.

Subtle vibrations were accompanied by the sound of moving bricks and metal gears. On the floor of the room, the bricks near the Fire Empire-style fireplace receded, and a low road appeared.

He took out the flashlight from his pocket and pointed it towards the passage, "Lei Ye" turned around and said:

"Let's go, the passage is not long, it is my private area."

Nodding slightly, Duck followed the "Thunder Leaf" dressed as a witch, bent down, and walked deeper into the passage while holding on to the damp and cold wall.

The dark area, accompanied by the smell of mold, made Dak guess that "Thunder Page" might not have cleaned this place for a long time.

Fortunately, half a minute later, "Lei Ye" pushed open a small metal door, groped for the wall and pressed the switch. The bright and incandescent electric light finally filled the dim area where the oppressive atmosphere condensed.

"Come in, this is the place where I study magic. I named it the 'Forbidden Knowledge Drainage Institute'. After all, talking about magic in the steam age is dangerous and incomprehensible hostile behavior."

"Lei Ye" said, beckoning Dak to sit down.

Immediately afterwards, she searched in the drawer of a mahogany square table in the Crusted Palace style in a space that was almost the size of two study rooms, and then took out a palm-sized metal iron box that was covered in ashes. Another long table of solid sylvestris pine wood was placed not far in front of Duck.

Looking around, Duck found that this room was even cramped compared to the restaurant private room above. Even so, as soon as he entered the door, the two rows of black and purple painted metal bookshelves were filled with them, further encroaching on them. It takes away a space that is not rich in the first place.

In addition, various types of firearms were stacked at the edge of the room, with a thick layer of dust on them. Unlike the other furniture, which was neat and clean, it looked like it had never been used.

After a brief glance, Duck discovered the "CK-47" rifle, the "Shadow" brand submachine gun, the "Federal C-01" small self-defense pistol, and the "Purple Thunder" rifle.

The models and styles vary, as do the sizes and uses, and it seems that the original user was not the same person.

However, overall, this room is more like a study room for a [scholar] to provide academic research.

"What's wrong?" "Lei Ye" saw that Dak was a little stunned and explained:

"Don't be curious. I have such a 'knowledge acquisition place' underground here. Without federal approval, I would have been arrested long ago. You don't have to worry about this."

"That's good." Duck replied casually.

"Then, little brother Dak, your exclusive divination 'ritual' is about to begin." "Lei Ye" showed a mature woman's smile and moved forward, the hem of her skirt gently brushing the crystal ball on the table like a breeze. Waiting for the sundries, he picked up the metal iron box that had just been placed on the table and made a greeting gesture to Duck.

With a slight nod, Duck stood up from the sofa in two steps, pulled out the cheap wooden seat, and sat down smoothly opposite "Thunder Page".

"It lacks a sense of mystery." "Lei Ye" smiled slightly and pressed a switch under the table.

Suddenly, the incandescence in the whole room receded, leaving behind a very dim light that was like "neither day nor night". In the intertwined situation of light and darkness, with the "sense of mystery", "Thunder Leaf" opened the rusty box, He took out the rare brand new and intact sequence cards protected by the magic source power.

"That's right, it's a standard sequence of cards." Dak thought to himself.

As "Thunder Page" unfolded the cards, the pure black and dark green card backs were displayed in front of him.

All existing standard formats of "Order Cards" were prescribed by Ivan XXII. The size of 13 x 7 cm symbolizes the "Goddess of Light in Order 13" and the "Seven First Order Gods" The last "Lord of the Earth".

At that time, after many experiments by Evante and his magic power research team, it was proved that such a format of sequenced cards can better make the magic power that activates the diviner resonate with the Creator and gods.

Of course, the card has a dark style, and the design of the giant green-eyed monster pattern printed uniformly on the back was also designed by the court painter under Ivan XXII.

Legend has it that he saw incarnations of the Creator in his dreams, one of which looked like this. Ugly, evil, gloomy, terrifying, a demonic image that seemed to want to take away his soul.

After understanding that the source of the power of the pre-order cards is mysterious, dangerous and treacherous, Ivan XXII naturally cannot choose to print it in a bright or soft style.

Dak understands this very clearly, but he does not remember when he studied this knowledge. In the years when he wandered around as a "alien monster", he lost too many memories, and now, at least in the short term, he In my heart, I don't want to find it back.

His thoughts returned to reality, and Dark looked at the table. The 16 cards were spread out and closed flatly by "Thunder Pages", and they were quickly shuffled in his hands.

After the afterimages of her hands faded, she placed the cards on the table and pushed them in front of Dark.

"Pick up the cards yourself and draw one. I have poured some magic power into it. Now, the drawn card will represent your upper-level profession." "Thunder Ye" said.

Dak looked up slightly, and a faint purple magic source power vaguely wandered between her eyebrows.

Looking back at the cards in front of him, Dak couldn't help but feel anxious.

"I remember that if you don't get the approval of the Creator and the gods, a 'nothing' card will be added to the professional divination, right? I heard that it is a warning from the gods, and the person who asks for divination will be punished. , pay the price." As he spoke, Dak's right hand stretched out to the card trembled involuntarily.

"Pay the price?" "Lei Ye" snorted coldly, "That's nonsense."

"I think you are talking about the idiot in the south who sacrificed a living person to summon the forest god 'Wells'. He is a non-staff member of the Zine Empire's capital army and doesn't know anything. He offended 'Wells' If you don't know it and want to get a high-level career, you will naturally be abandoned by the gods and never be recognized." "Lei Ye" continued:

"Evil may be the talisman of the end of the world, but abominable people will eventually be punished. People who pursue simple evil are so stupid that they forget that human beings are social animals. If civilization wants to continue, it must abandon greed and sin and use [dedication] to An effective way to gain the favor of the gods. So, Dak, 'Ice Blade' has talked with me about your deeds. You are not an evil person. Believe in yourself and follow your inner guidance to open the card. I dare Bet you won't see 'nothingness'."

"Huh... ok!" Dak said through gritted teeth.

Suppressing his shaking right hand, Dak pressed it on the sequence card and slid it to the left.

Then, he closed his eyes tightly, followed Ruoyou Ruowu's guidance, and after some fumbling, he quickly pulled out a card and handed it to "Thunder Leaf".

After a moment of silence, when the standard Crusted word was spoken in a deep female voice, Dak suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the "Thunder Page" and the card in her hand with his gray eyes, revealing a pair of An expression of disbelief.

"confusion."

"Chaos? The profession it represents is..."

"[Those who cause chaos]." "Lei Ye" replied, then showed a bitter smile that was not easy to detect, and said:

"Why is it called 'Chaos'...Duck, do you know why one of my organizations is called the 'Chaos Group'?"

"I'm not very sure about this. Maybe he's good at creating chaos and likes assassinations and assassinations?" Dak guessed with a sense of confusion.

"That's not entirely true." "Lei Ye" raised his head, his eyes slightly out of focus and said:

"The real reason is that our past leaders have all been in the upper-level profession [Causing Chaos]. The Chaos Group also stipulates that all people who take over as leaders must be those who get 'Chaos' through the divination of the sequence cards. Sadly, , the successor will have to undergo rigorous training starting from the age of 12 and experience a life of near death before he can be strengthened mentally and physically."

"[The troublemaker] will live in extreme pain throughout his life. This bad situation comes from many aspects, but without exception, it will be a tragedy. Duck, why...the result of your divination will be 'Chaos'." "Lei Ye" sighed.

"I think you're right." Dak breathed a sigh of relief, looking relaxed. "My past and my strength would have led me to tragedy. This has been confirmed. Anyone who can get the sequence card Being recognized and having the opportunity to move into a higher-level career, this alone is enough to make me happy.”

"So, I'm one step closer to 'Plamini'."
