Wasteland Echoer

"wake?"

"It's kind of scary!"

"Really?"

For a time, the people present were talking a lot, and during the conversation, more or less surprised, strange, and incredible emotions were revealed.

Dragons are creatures that are both distant, strange, and mysterious to humans, but also very close, familiar, and common. No matter in any era after the first era, just hearing about their traces is enough to be exciting.

After all, after the "Karloff End War", the bodies of the dragons were turned into energy, and together with their souls, they were exiled to an alien plane called the "Dragon Realm" by the five great human warriors. At that time, the "Spiritual Emperor" of the Fire Empire was During the "Dragon Celebration", several places within the territory were opened with the help of Ori's Steel Stone, and some dragons were indeed released.

But in fact, after being imprisoned in an alien plane for many years, the energy to maintain the bodies of the dragons had long been exhausted. In addition, the "Shangling Emperor" died soon after in a rebellion launched by the leader of the Luo family, the imperial prime minister Luo Heng. .

The new government's attitude toward the dragons was completely opposite to the previous one. As a last resort, a small number of the released dragons had to transform into half-dragons and wander around the world calling themselves "alien beasts".

The "half-dragon" mentioned by "Wind Mine" is said to have wandered to the Bingqi City of the Aventrai Empire in the middle of the Third Era, after the "Long Qing" of the Fire Empire, and later followed the rebellious general Wright Hain. Together they went to Crusted and were treated as courtesy by Charles XII, the emperor of the old empire at that time who had Ptoia ancestry.

"So, will the 'fruits' planted by Charles XII and Prime Minister Joe James for the people of Crusted be able to bear fruit in our inappropriate era?" said a man wearing a round ring. asked the old man wearing a top hat and a dark black tuxedo.

"I think so." "Wind Mine" re-photographed the round table twice and said:

"I bet that Charles XII and Crown Prince Ivan XI must have seen his power back then. We need to know who Wright Hein is who accompanied the dragon to us. He has led the empire's first The strong men of the first legion, like Ivan 22 later, are great [Orders].

"Thankfully, Charles XII has always maintained his sense. He did not dare to disobey the instructions handed down from ancient times and did not use the power of dragons. Moreover, shortly after Nebusk was attacked by the 'Fire of Punishment', Wright... Hain was regarded as an enemy spy, expelled from the country, and returned to Ice City.

"Because of this, the 'half-dragon' left behind was imprisoned on the bottom floor of Sener Prison. I heard that during the first hundred years, there were people who took care of him from time to time to help ease the pain caused by his imprisonment. Later, people seemed to forget about this incident. It was not until after the fall of the old empire that the Federation discovered him by chance.

"So I think that the awakening of the 'half-dragon' this time may bring powerful strength to the federation and us. However, after being imprisoned for so long, the amount of 'sad' trapped in his body will probably be very high. amazing."

"'Wind Mine', I have a doubt..." Gennadi raised his hand and asked:

"Does the power of dragons have anything to do with flames?"

"There is a connection, but strictly speaking there is no connection." "Wind Mine" said with an unclear attitude:

"It is true that the dragons were born in flames. Most of the 'half-dragons' will also use the fire-based magic power. Even the breath they emit after transforming is flame. But the dragons use the power of fire earlier than humans. Their power system is different from that of humans. We are different and we use them differently.

"Humans and the Lost need to chant spells to form spirits when using the magic source power, and the magic source power surges and is stored in the body, which can be used at any time when the battle begins. The dragons are different, they themselves are natural collaborators, or [ Master], they can use magic anytime, anywhere without forming a spirit.”

"So, 'Wind Mine', is this 'half-dragon' related to 'Plamini'?" Gennady's question became more direct.

"'Plamini', 'Plamini'..." "Feng Mine" frantically repeated this word that he was familiar with but had begun to tire of.

He unconsciously began to twist his head weirdly, and a hint of red gradually appeared in his eyes. His breathing began to become rapid, until his fists involuntarily hit the round table.

Boom, boom, boom...

After dozens of blows in succession, until bright, crimson, and intoxicating blood began to ooze between his fists, the mania in his heart eased a little.

Immediately afterwards, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, looked at Gennady, and said with a smile:

"Currently there is no evidence to prove the connection. As for whether the dragon awakened because of this, we will have to wait until his body recovers and find someone who understands the Fire Empire language to ask.

"Gnadi, from my personal point of view, the power contributed through the 'Universal Energy Evolution Platform' will easily dispel all the barriers that bind 'Pramini', and there is no need to use the power of the dragon.

"And, I want to warn you, and everyone here. Don't try to cooperate with the Dragon Clan, and don't try to use their power. Now that I think about it, Charles XII is not stupid. On the contrary, he has seen through everything.

"From the bottom of their hearts, the powerful dragons will not be willing to be manipulated by humans. The memory deep in their souls will guide them to rebel against humans, and the power emanating from their bodies will seduce humans. Both empires almost died at their hands.

"Let me put it more directly, it is impossible to use the power of the dragon clan, because you can't control it!"

After "Wind Mine" finished speaking, he scanned the participants in the dark space with his eyes that had become as scarlet as a vampire.

After the deathly silence, only the rustling, mosquito-like sounds of discussion could be heard near the round table.

It wasn't until the sound of "Wind Mine" hitting the black slate was heard that the slightly approaching commotion quickly stopped.

"We just talked about content related to technology and history, and now it's time to touch upon the realm of magic and mystery. There is a title that I think everyone will be familiar with. We have mentioned it in the three meetings this year, which is the 'Echoer'. "

"Mr. Wind Mine, do you want to say that the Order has more information about Him?" asked a young federal general sitting on the right side of Wind Mine.

"Of course." "Feng Mine" nodded and said, with a hint of suppressed excitement in his tone. "He is an existence that can enter and exit the gray dream at will, and has power comparable to the gods. For the time being, we will classify him into a new, Sequence of Old Gods to be added.

"After all, the god who was born from Crusted, No. 235: The Daughter of Tool Yuan, died in his hands. This is what many of our internal [prophet] saw when they jointly activated the 'backtracking' skill. Moreover, , there was also a mechanical body that had acquired [personality] at least witnessing half of the process. If we can find him, we will get more information about the 'Echoer'."

"'Wind Mine'..." Gennadi suddenly said:

"According to the latest information obtained by the Crusted Investigation Team under our Strategic Research Laboratory, the human who transformed into a mechanical body should be named 'Ronie' and lived in the south for a period of time more than 30 years ago. Reliable information It shows that he is now in Binglin Province and is likely to come to Xinfeng Town."

"Very good." "Feng Mine" rarely praised:

"His name... is Luo Nie, right? As long as he comes to Xinfeng Town, even if he is hiding a few hundred meters underground, I can find him. He must be inextricably linked to the 'Echoers'. Find him It's only a matter of time before he, 'Plamini', is fully discovered."

"Some time ago, I also learned that the monster Dak met the 'Echoer' in his dream. But what they talked about specifically, due to the 'forgetting' characteristic of the gray dream, he only remembered A small amount of important content.

"But our other leader, 'Thunder Page', after divining the monster and confirming its upper-level profession [Chaos Inducer] identity, told him how to make the 'Original Thunder Crest' that can restore memory. I won't comment too much on the behavior of 'Thunder Page', I believe our leader will understand clearly. As for the coat of arms, I plan to make it, and when Dak comes from the net, I will give it to him to 'help' him Restore memory." "Feng Mine" said, with a proud smile on his lips and said:

"For an evil god like the 'Echoer', we can neither pray to him, borrow power, nor use prayer rituals to call him, nor can we hope to fully understand his existence. But reliable information shows that his body is bound The place is very close to the place where 'Plamini' exists. Moreover, he is also a loyal believer of 'Plamini' and possesses the mysterious red power.

"Finding Him is equivalent to finding 'Plamini'."

"Mr. Wind Mine," the old man in a dark black tuxedo stood up and asked again:

"Our current mission is to assist the federation in deciphering the location of the 'Beidou Star', finding all the locations of the 'Evolution Stage', finding key figures, and asking for as much information about the 'Echoers' as possible. Are these two things?"

"Yes, these two things are the most important at the moment. Please take a seat, old gentleman." After "Feng Mine" waved his hand, he finally pointed to the black stone slab behind him and the content displayed on it using similar projection technology, and said:

"Our war with the 'Heartless People' is not optimistic now. If the federal army is unreliable, the 'Wideless Person Wave' will come to Xinfeng Town in as soon as 30 days. If we don't make some preparations now, such a quiet and peaceful day will It will cease to exist and become history. Everyone, please take a look."

"Wind Mine" took out a baton from the corner, pointed at the picture on the stone board, and explained:

"From August to December last year, the 'wave of unintentional people' attacked Koenigler, an important federal resource and industrial province, as well as the entire Yuzhny-Karlov District and the city of Budade in the North-Karlov District. , causing us heavy losses.

"At the beginning of the year, especially after Christmas on January 7, 'unintentional people' launched attacks on Mayan City and Voliga City in Binlin Province. As a large number of soldiers were dragged to defend near Mayan City, the Federation was preparing to give up the ambush in the near future. Liga, retreat to the North Mamous River and make plans.

"In just two weeks, five small-scale 'waves of Heartless' attacks occurred near Chilong Town in the north of Binglin Province. Many bodies of 'Alien Heartless' were found in this area, including 'Explosive Bodies' , 'Long Tail', 'Fast Wolf' and so on.

"However, fortunately, the Federal Council is not stupid. It knows the importance of the railway line and dispatched three elite regiments to repel the 'unintentional people', making the border of Binglin Province temporarily safer, but the danger is still not eliminated. Everyone should know , part of the 'wave of unintentional people' is the result of spontaneous 'searching for food', and the other part is the control behind the scenes by the lost ones who have the ability to 'seduce'.

"If we can't find the organization hiding behind it, we won't be able to move from tactical level defense to strategic level offense. But..." "Wind Mine" clenched his fists with both hands and said with a smile:

"On a tactical level, our 'Order Society' has successfully reproduced the powerful 'Hyacinth' and 'Tulip' artillery pieces from the old empire."
