Wasteland Echoer

"Is it the 'red magic source'?" Luo Nie asked uncertainly.

Thirty years ago in Silent Heights, Ronai had the honor to fight alongside Wright. At that time, he entered the divine realm and met the "Daughter of the Tool Element", and was given the [personality] he longed for. After becoming a real human being, he went to Cheka at the same time as the "Blood Night Ritual" and the "Sokra Explosion". Fusk, learned a lot of information about him, including the part about killing gods.

He learned from the members of the Explorers Association who escaped from the Silent Highlands that someone witnessed Wright using the power of the red magic source to defeat the "Daughter of the Mechanical Element", and then used it to kill the then Imperial Crown Prince Ivan. special.

Since then, Luo Nie has kept the term "red magic source power" in mind. If he finds its traces, he may be one step closer to finding Wright.

"'Red Magic Power'? It's such a novel and unfamiliar word." Igor said:

"Of course, it is said that at the end of the Third Era, when Charles XII was in power, the boy who brought the half-dragon did have similar abilities. His magic source power is very special. Although it is based on flames on the surface, it is also integrated with It has absorbed the power of many old gods and dark nights.

"It is said that that young man is very low-key. Even though he became a general of the old empire, he has not had any contact with the 'Chaos Group', the 'Order Society' and other organizations. You know, he defeated the 'Comprehensive Sect' in the past to 'dispel sorrow' The Cursed Red Lord was summoned by mistake during the ceremony.

"This not only allowed the important 'Church of Comprehension' in the old empire to be reused, but also allowed those followers of the 'Comprehension Sect' who were cursed by Him to bang their heads against walls and cut their flesh with knives to return to normal. It also allowed the haze lingering over half of the capital to return to normal. Dissipate, in this regard he is a great contributor to the old empire.

"But he has been working in the capital army for more than ten years, but there is very little information to record his actions. Until the Battle of Nabsk broke out between the old empire and its old enemy in the east, Eventelei, and he was expelled because he was suspected of being a spy, there was no such thing as that young man. more information."

"To master such a powerful power, to be able to use it skillfully, not to be eroded by it, and to act correctly. Such a strong person rarely has data records, so there are only two conclusions. Either his data was deliberately destroyed, and the empire was behind it. Consideration of being known. Or, his strength is not as strong as the rumors say, it is just an illusion." Luo Nie analyzed:

"I think the first point is the most likely. In this way, the 'red magic source power' may really have a secret and powerful power, which makes the empire prefer to block information related to it rather than use it. It is possible,' The red magic source power has a strong sense of "sorrow", and there is even the possibility of escaping "ash" and "embers".

"I heard that if these three powers reach a certain concentration and undergo complex permutations and combinations, they will have the function of connecting parallel worlds on different planes and transmitting specific targets. Perhaps the old empire violated some taboos when studying this type of ability. Maybe."

After hearing what Luonie said, Igor nodded slightly and agreed:

"It sounds reasonable. But now we are not the party lacking information. After the half-dragon's health improves in a few days, the Federal Council will naturally be able to ask the questions we want.

"I just saw a letter mailed from the capital. It was an instruction personally issued by the Federal Council, requiring me to report to Choigrad in one month with experimental data and a small number of cracked sequence monsters. The committee's review of the old empire's experiment The indoor information and 'evolution stage' are a bit impatient.

"On the two days of Christmas, the committee sacrificed 40,000 people to recharge the 'fireworks of the past', hoping to use its extraordinary energy to forcefully break the constraints of the laboratory and break in. Luo Nie, do you still remember? Is the reason why 'Wind Mine' wanted to kill me through the direwolves today?"

"Of course I remember." Luo Nie nodded and said:

"They said you stole a 'core' that was 'related to the wind', so I wanted to hunt you down."

Igor sighed slightly and nodded in response. Then, he supported the dining table with both hands, stood up with some difficulty, and walked to the window. He looked at the unexpectedly brightly lit town streets that had completely dimmed and entered the long night, and said solemnly:

"Yes, but just now, the leader of the 'Order Society' commissioned a little girl to deliver the latest information to me. The Federal Council asked him not to look for the lost 'core' anymore. That makes no sense. According to I speculate that either the 'core' is no longer important, or the committee already has the 'core' in their hands.

"By the way, Luo Nie. I'm sorry, I think your stay in Xinfeng Town will be shorter than you expected. According to the Federal Strategy Group's speculation, this wave of 'unintentional people' will arrive here at the earliest in a month. .The Federation has made urgent military and weapons deployments. If necessary, it may take a preemptive strike near the North Mamous River, 50 kilometers west of here.

"I bet that once the war starts, not only will the tranquility brought by the wind be lost here, but also under the attack of the empire's newly reproduced artillery, it won't be long before the land on the outskirts of here will become as barren as the surface of the moon. Broken and lifeless.”

"By the way, you mentioned the 'Apostle of the Wind' when you were threatened by the direwolf before. I'm curious, is he the 'Wind Mine'?" Luo Jie heard Igor's tone of voice was a little disappointed and asked, changing the subject.

"It's not him." Igor's answer was simple. "It's a [prophet] who has reached the level of demigod and has mastered the powerful wind-type magic source in the early second era. I heard that he is also a poet. , and have a rivalry with Adali Sage, the great sage of the Uhata tribe who is highly regarded by the 'Order Society'."

"The person who wrote the prophecy book "Future Epic"?" Ronie asked. He had heard it mentioned many times by the lost people wandering there in the Federal Waters Province.

"That's right." Igor glanced slightly to the upper left, but immediately suppressed his doubts in his heart.

After all, it is normal for Luo Nie, a young man with powerful mechanical power and a mysterious connection with the "Lord of Machinery", to understand such divine things.

While thinking, he blurted out a poem and recited:

"The young man behind the wind is mysterious enough. It is the result of God's blessing. The roar of machinery will rule the distance, and the brilliant light of magic will give him the power to understand all the past and future."

"Poetry?" Luo Nie guessed through Igor's tone:

"Is it from the famous poet Gurji?"

"No." Igor shook his head, "It's his, the demigod [prophet]. After all, Gurji's poems can't escape the cultural chains imposed by the old empire. Including the collection of poems "The Light of Nabsk" ", the science fiction novel "The Starry Future of the Empire", and the single poems "Dream of Silence" and "Return" were all published in "Zhenqubo" after being reviewed by the "Cultural Works Inspection Team" of the old empire.

"I do not deny his great achievements in the field of literature, but I need to acknowledge the encouragement of those poems to mankind during wars and difficult times. But dancing in shackles will make the movements stiff, while the poems of the demigods [prophet] It looks more carefree and free.”

"Free and easy...freedom, such a strange word." Luo Nie recalled his life among humans for so many years and said with emotion:

"The period when the demigod [prophet] lived must have been shortly after the war, when everything began to become prosperous and prosperous. By the way, did he have a name that survived? If he later became a god, would he have a title? ?”

"It is said that he did not become a god later. Being promoted from a demigod to a god means that you need to bear an eternal and fixed responsibility, and you cannot 'move forward like the wind'. For example, the goddess of light is said to have her own secret divine realm. , governs the demands of all believers who long for light. And when the power of darkness begins to spread, He must take action to maintain the balance between light and darkness, day and night."

"But it seems that the goddess of light has given up on her responsibilities and has completely collapsed." Luo Nie criticized without hesitation:

"The wasteland world has lasted for more than five hundred years, and soon the six hundredth year will come. Now we are in killing, madness, war, pain, hunger, despair and darkness every day, and we have not seen Until the balance tilts even a little in the direction of light.

"Mr. Igor, records about the appearance of the Goddess of Light are commonly found in the historical data of the First Era. For thousands of years, no human being has been able to truly glimpse her full appearance. Do you think it is possible that she does not belong to the 'Seven Greats'?" Is the goddess of light, the first of the gods, just a beautiful vision fabricated by evil forces to fool ordinary humans who suffer and give everything?

"In other words, she may have existed and responded to the demands of many believers. Due to the 'light' attribute, she did not ask for any interest other than legitimate remuneration from believers, so she was jointly strangled by other gods?"

"Haha." Igor smiled awkwardly. After all, as an ordinary human who believes in the sequential god "Lord of Machinery", he is not qualified to comment on the gods. He is also afraid of being punished by them, so he thought for a moment. Finally, he still stared out the window intently and said:

"The demigod [prophet] left a name, called 'Wendis'. Among the more than two hundred sequential gods, there is no title related to wind. Perhaps, it is the creator who created the name in his dream. He left a blank space on purpose.

"By the way, Ronie. The poems left by Wendys were compiled into the collection "Call of the Wind". The prophecies of his poems are different from those of "Epic of the Future". The latter tends to deduce fixed things that are predicted, And then draw a conclusion. The former is more of a guide for attitude and choice, similar to predicting the outcome of a specific type of event, and it is up to the reader to take a seat and understand it on his own. A few days ago, I read a few paragraphs and felt Quite interesting.”

"Let me listen to those paragraphs and see if you can give me some guidance. In other words, I actually have a certain confusion about my future." Luo Nie said curiously.

After briefly clearing his throat, Igor recited affectionately:

"Where dandelions and hyacinths descend, the power of red will reappear, the wheel of fortune will turn again, and lost lovers will finally be reunited."

"The most despicable thing in the floating world is life, like weeds that disappear in the wind, but it is precisely because of the indomitable human beings who dare to act that life is as gorgeous as summer flowers."
