Wasteland Echoer

"He thought he could get through unimpeded by the invisibility of [Chaos Inducer]. Indeed, he also found the palace of 'Ivan the Short-lived', but what he didn't know was that Ivan hid his profession as [Explorer]. It was so deep that I fell down."

"'Search' is the exclusive skill of [Explorers], which allows them to find treasures in complex terrain, and at the same time, they can also spy on the ruins hidden behind the fog. Ivan has excellent eyesight, 'Blood Mo'" From the moment I stepped into the palace, I was stared at by him and the musketeers behind me."

"Without exception, even in the era when magic was prosperous, it began to be unable to cope with the products of science and technology. Just when the sharp knife of 'Blood Mo' was about to touch Ivan's heart, the emperor and the musketeers ambushing around him They all raised their guns and fired, severely injuring him."

"Subsequently, they imprisoned 'Xuemo' in Sener Prison, treated him with the same treatment as others, and tortured him for seven days, trying to figure out the entire distribution of the Chaos Group within the empire.'Xuemo 'Although he was controlled by darkness, stupid and arrogant, he was not cowardly. The harsh punishment did not destroy his will until the red magic source power in his body died as the blood drained out."

"Later, in order to retaliate, he assassinated three Krusted emperors and established the authority of the ruler. 'Ivan the Short-lived' put his body into a steel melting furnace for two weeks to be refined. Dark, guess what? What's left?" "Leiye" asked meaningfully.

"Ashes, isn't it just ashes after the human body is cremated? Then put it in a small box and send it to a crowded grave." Duck looked at the river and said thoughtfully.

"Not just."

"Oh? What else?" "Thunder Ye"'s answer made Dak very curious. He turned his head and asked, looking at "Thunder Ye's" face that had been decorated with cosmetics and had the temperament of a princess from the old empire.

"Ashes are inevitable, and there is also a hard heart of steel. When it was taken out, its temperature almost melted the inner wall of the furnace. It was red. It is said to be a bit like the mechanical heart of the 'Wuxin Man'." "Lei Ye" replied.

"But didn't you say that he was controlled by darkness and desire? Why...does he still have a hard and fiery heart?" Dark asked puzzled.

"Who knows?" "Lei Ye" smiled bitterly:

"Perhaps the darkness has followed his soul into heaven, leaving behind the things he once cared about. So, Dak, whether you have come into contact with the red magic source power or not, you must remember that it is a dangerous thing. Unless you are extremely firm in your heart and have ideals and beliefs that transcend human existence, otherwise, they will definitely be eroded.”

"I...I remember." Dak nodded solemnly and agreed.

"Speaking of Dak, how much do you know about sequence cards?" "Thunder Page" had been alone for a long time. When he saw that Dak had chosen the magical world, he started talking like an old friend, and he got out of hand.

"My understanding is limited, more than I have heard of the name." Dak answered truthfully.

"Then you know very little about the content description of the card 'Chaos', right?"

"That's right."

"Then, I will give this card to you. My sequence card is blessed by the gods. Holding it, you will listen to the guidance of the gods at critical moments, which will benefit you and your professional power. Benefits." "Lei Ye" said, crossing his hands and placing them above his head.

Immediately afterwards, the spherical purple lightning became clearly visible from the ethereal dense fog. Surrounded by the magic source power of the "Thunder Page", the internal electric currents violently clashed, escaping out with a terrifying brilliance and a foam board. An unsettling sound like rubbing.

When the light of lightning receded, the card just selected by Dak seemed to float out of thin air in the palm of "Thunder Leaf", and then, along with the soft silk-like magic power, was smoothly sent into Dak's hand.

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it. Besides, if you lose one card, the entire 16-card deck is invalid. Isn't this a waste of money?" Dak declined.

"Haha, you are still a frugal boy. But you are worrying too much. I said that the gods have blessed this deck of cards. Naturally, when it is missing, I can use the power of the gods to create another one. Compared with these Props, you should pay more attention to your career, your future, and...'Plamini'." "Leiye" smiled and said:

"Wulfya sent me a telegram a few days ago, asking me to help you with your divination. Whether it's the Tarot cards from the Western Continent or the Book of Changes from the East, the conclusion after interpretation shows that you won't stay here for too long before you come back again. You have to venture into dangerous areas. So, prepare in advance and don’t be in a hurry when the time comes.”

"The situation is beginning to develop into chaos, and even the Federal Council is fighting for power. I'm really afraid that we will be like the south, where we are about to restructure [order], but usher in a collapse. Then again, Da Grams, don’t you want to see the graphic content of the ‘Chaos’ card?”

"Of course, this is my image." Dak smiled and turned over the card.

After the initial confusion and trance caused by the impact of extraordinary power, Dak concentrated on carefully reading and analyzing the contents of the "Sequence Card No. 8: Chaos (khuluan)" card.

"A red sun with dim light and a cracked corner hangs in the clear and incandescent sky. The arrogant and straight tower in the distance begins to collapse from the bottom. The calmly flowing river water begins to boil and evaporate in the middle and lower reaches. The hard and simple bricks and stones There are dots of lava spurting out at the corners of the road. In the middle of the picture, a young man in a cloak is showing an evil smile. His hands are glowing purple and black. It seems that everything in the picture is his masterpiece. .”

"Is it difficult to understand?" Seeing Dak looking at the ground in confusion after reading, "Thunder Page" asked.

"No, no, it's very simple and easy to understand." Dak waved his hand and said:

"That's not it. I was just recalling the content of the Gray Dream. Just last night, I was forcibly pulled into the dream by a guy who called himself 'Echoer'. I clearly remember that he gave me a sequential monster. He wanted me to go to the icy wasteland of the extreme cold realm to rescue him, and he also said that 'Plamini' was near him."

"I remember that we discussed the specific position issue. I know that I was not an upper-level professional recognized by the sequence card before. After leaving the dream, something happened. I didn't have time to write down the content of the dream, and I quickly forgot it. Most of it. I don’t know... any way to awaken this memory of mine."

"How about trying to use the power of emblems?" "Thunder Page" suggested.

"Heraldry?"

"That's right, the coat of arms. It was invented by powerful warriors, knights and warriors who own the magic source power. It embodies the style of the family and region. By adding a variety of materials, it is carefully carved and polished to infuse it with magic. An extraordinary thing formed from source power.”

"In your case, you can choose to make the 'Source of Thunder Crest'. It was designed by my family hundreds of years ago to strengthen memory. The specific materials are: battery, [Thunder] Ore, Thunder Pattern Grass, and Rock Lizard. The powder of the body, the eyeballs of the lone wolf in the far north, the mechanical heart of the 'Flashing Heartless', and the blood of the lost person of the flame system. I can't remember the specific refining method, you can try more." "Thunder Page" recounted.

"Then how... can I know that the coat of arms is successfully made?" Dak asked a very practical question.

"Pour in the magic source power inside and place the coat of arms next to your ear. When the voices of everyone within five hundred meters appear in your ears and everything around you turns into a purple energy body, it represents the power of the coat of arms. Finished. After that, put it on your chest before going to bed, and you can review the dream content you think is important at night." "Leiye" explained.

"By the way, Ms. Leiye, I'm curious about something."

"Tell me about it?" "Leiye" asked with interest, turned around and held his chin, staring at Duck.

"Thunder...or the power of electricity, does it belong to the category of magic source power? I think your power is like your name, with a strong aura of thunder and lightning." Dak expressed his inner doubts.

"Thunder and lightning? Of course it doesn't count, or at least it doesn't count now. In the mainland, the source of thunder and lightning's power is flame, and the upper layer is light. No matter how powerful the power is, from the perspective of users of magic source power from ancient times to the present, thunder and lightning They are all just their manifestations, not independent entities.”

"It stands to reason that if there are five basic types of magic source power, there will be corresponding five upper-level magic source powers. But unfortunately, after four epochs, we have only discovered the upper-level magic source power of 'Flame' 'Light', the upper level magic power of 'water' is 'darkness', and the upper level magic power of vegetation is 'wind'. As for the upper level magic power of 'earth' and 'metal', there is no reliable statement yet."

"That's it, ha--" Duck said, yawning long. I don't know if it was because of excessive food intake or a series of things in the past two days that made him very tired at this time.

Dragging his increasingly heavy body, he leaned on the weak railing and whispered to "Thunder Page":

"Now that I have completed the preface divination, made my choice, and talked so much with you, I want to go back and rest first. Christmas will be in three days, and I want to watch a complete fireworks show."

"No problem. But Duck, I heard that the new alien 'Heartless Virus' is invading the capital recently, and some lost children are trying to spread it. You have to be careful. If you go crazy here and do something hurtful, the minor punishment will be If you are imprisoned in an 'isolation prison', you will be shot to death on the spot." "Lei Ye" ordered.

Just as he was about to leave, Duck subconsciously glanced at the crosswalk not far away. He saw a ragged girl carrying a heavy bamboo basket and seemed to be selling some kind of cheap goods.

Her face was sallow, and there were many red and festering wounds on her lips, hands, and exposed ankles.

She walked barefoot on the road in the scorching area covered with a thin layer of snow, and the marks she walked were quickly covered by another layer of snow. Dark guessed that the helpless girl must have been infected with the "Unintentional Person" virus, and could not afford the price of "Federal No. 0 Potion", so she missed the best time for prevention and was now at the last moment of her fight against it.

Dak knew that the girl must not have been exposed to the magic source power, nor the guidance of extraordinary power, and the final result must be mutation. But he didn't expect that as soon as his thoughts flashed through his mind, the girl fell to the ground, twitching all over, and her limbs turned out involuntarily.

However, passers-by just glanced at it with numb expressions and walked towards the festival rehearsal area in the center of the city as if nothing had happened. There were many people coming and going, but no one stopped.

"Do you want to help her? Maybe she still has a chance to become a lost person... a superpower." "Lei Ye" asked expressionlessly.

"No need." Dak shook his head heavily, "For now, I don't want to get into trouble."

About fifteen minutes later, after receiving reports from surrounding merchants, members of the Binglin City Security Team ran over, chatted in low voices and made an assessment. After they determined that the girl in front of them had mutated and there was no possibility of rescue, they took out Armed with a gun, she was executed on the spot.
