Wasteland Echoer

"'Future'..." Nahaka, who was standing on Luo Ka's shoulder, made a human voice and stared at "Future's" bloodshot light black pupils and said:

"When you said that, I remembered that the boy Luo Ka and I met in the 'Exchange Area' of Mayang City might really be a dragon. Although I saw a pair of vague wings and a tail at that time, but No matter how you speculate on his identity, you will first think of strange beasts and lost people with "physical changes".

"If that old guy Vasily hadn't really released the dragon boy Adaroni recently, I'm afraid more than 90% of people in Crusted wouldn't really believe in the existence of dragons."

"That's right." "Future" nodded and said in a hoarse voice:

"Whether it is the dragon of the Western Continent or the mythical dragon of Khitanris, after the 'First Era and Second Era' belonging to the legendary era have completely ended, it has become a totem and played a role as a spiritual symbol. In fact, even After the young Emperor Khitan Reese used the 'Auri Steel Stone' to open the capital's dragon mirror and the 'Floating Divine Realm', not many people had seen the dragon with their own eyes.

"Those 'half-dragons' are more often classified as alien beasts. Real dragons without any human characteristics have only been recorded in two human personal diaries. One is that Aventrai once Kyle, the prime minister who helped Queen Lelita win the throne, said that his life was saved by a real dragon, so he has a natural affinity for the people of the Fire Empire."

"This doesn't sound very believable." Lorca commented:

"Brother 'Ice Blade' said that in the records of the old empire, Kyle had mental problems and was often troubled by hallucinations. Perhaps he was indeed saved by a beast at that time, but he soon disappeared between the light and shadow of dusk. I lost myself, hallucinating under my inner reverence for the dragon.”

"That's right. And the second thing, I don't need to tell you, is that it was the 'Fire Dragon' that descended on the day of the Khitan Reese 'Long Qing' disaster. It was indeed an extremely powerful flame, and it should have come from the 'Floating Divine Realm' from a high place. "It fell, but so far there is no clear evidence that it comes from the Dragon Clan. Everything is just speculation." "Future" said.

After a slight pause for a few seconds, Nahaka, who was standing on Luoka's shoulder, moved to the other side and took over the conversation:

"That dragon boy...let's call him a 'half-dragon'. During the battle with Luo Ka and me, I could feel the fire-based magic power in his body that was about to burst out. This is indeed in line with the characteristics of the dragon clan. They always It is impossible to suppress the fire that naturally occurs in the body.

"But it's strange. Even though his dagger scratched countless tiny sparks during the battle, he always restrained himself and did not release even a little bit of fire skills. It was as if the more mysterious person behind the scenes who ordered him didn't want to Attention."

"Since you don't want to attract attention, why do you still want to snatch the 'device limit' device in the urban area? This is very puzzling." "Future" wondered.

"Perhaps... this is one of the few opportunities for him to obtain the device, so he will be very anxious. But now, it seems that his goal has been achieved. Until now, we and humans have gathered at the 'Man-made Lake' and Near the 'Ku Shen Ruins', people have begun to harass and test each other, and they are preparing to attack the inside of the ruins, so they reluctantly connected the young man with the Dragon Clan. We lost the opportunity in time, which was his purpose." Nahaka explained road:

"There are several other points of evidence supporting his connection with the 'half-dragon'. One is that after stealing the device from Lorca, when we were chasing among the chaotic and crowded vendors, I could feel my spirit every time we fought. In the field, the boy's dragon-like wings were seen spreading out, but they soon turned into sparks and dispersed.

"Furthermore, his excellent agility and flexibility are not possessed by humans or ordinary low-order lost people. The fact that there is no smell related to the lost people in his body is enough to prove my inference. However, It is indeed a pity that Luo Ka and I seemed to have forgotten about this matter during this period."

"'Concealment' may be the function of this skill. However, its original form belongs to [Explorer], which is used to avoid the pursuit of beasts and enemies in the wild. This kind of battle can also change your cognition, making you deliberately ignore it. The ability is probably the product of the improvement of [Order]." "Future" analyzed.

"How to say?" Luo Ka asked curiously, looking at the "future".

"[The Orderer], you know without me saying more, is a king type of existence. If we talk about the leader of the 'Chaos' group, it must be your eldest brother [The Chaos Maker]; but when it comes to the 'Good' group, the leader The leader must be the [Order]." "Future" said, stood up and sorted out the cotton clothes he had changed, put the small gun under the pillow into his arms, walked to the small door of the room, and opened it while Door, he turned back to Luo Ka and continued:

"Let's talk as we go out. It doesn't matter if these general knowledge are overheard and told to the people at the Federal Council. It's half past seven now. At nine o'clock, don't we still have to go to the warehouse area to meet the 'mysterious Asian'? Tu'?"

"Oh, that's right." Luo Ka nodded, picked up the "Ice Rose" sniper rifle, and stood up straight, "Brother 'Ice Blade' has been in a bad mood recently, and he will get angry if he eats it."

After walking out of the wooden house and walking into the inner roads of the camp with a strong sense of life, Luo Ka and "Future" luckily felt a lot relieved. Along the living area are piles of daily clutter, discarded iron tools, food dried for drying, and lost children walking through it from time to time. Even though it looks a bit like a refugee camp in the Third Age, in this extreme cold zone Among the ice and snow, there is such a place where laughter and normal survival exist. It is like an isolated island in the dark ocean, with a lonely beauty.

Since both "Future" and Lorca were not very good at operating mechanical vehicles, they decided not to go to the small square on the edge of the camp. Instead, they chose to slowly walk through the residential area and office area and walk directly to the warehouse area.

After stretching beautifully and greedily enjoying the fresh morning air and warm sunshine for several seconds, "Future" continued:

"I just mentioned the leader of the ordering group, right? In fact, the profession of [Order] is the leader of the entire upper-level profession. Rumor has it that [Order] can be learned in an extremely destructive and painful way. The skills of other upper-level professionals, I guess, may require death as a catalyst."

"Is...absorbing their energy and then gaining abilities?" Luo Ka speculated.

"It's not that simple." "Future" waved his hand and said:

"As the supreme king, that is, the leader, such people usually will not engage in robberies like thieves or bandits, at least not so obvious. One of the greatest emperors of the old empire, the famous Ivan XXII is an undoubted [Order].

"I heard that he once broke through to Order 1: Confused, but he never had the opportunity to escape into a demigod. There was a widely circulated motto among the vampires: 'With pain and disaster, with the baptism of blood and tears, only then can achievements be achieved. Heroes and gods. 'The empire during Ivan XXII's period was too powerful and the situation was too stable, so that he could be great without suffering."

"But suffering is suffering, and it will not make people achieve success. Otherwise, everyone in the Wasteland Era would be a god." Luo Ka retorted with a bit of disdain.

"However." A kind smile appeared on the corner of "Future"'s mouth, "Suffering combined with the spontaneous 'acquisition' of sequence nuclei in the body will produce an unparalleled 'chemical reaction'. Only after experiencing suffering will you know what you really want, and thus Reaching the stage that anyone trying to touch the Godhead must go through, that is - realization. Of course, it's a step away.

"Judging from the manuscript of the 'Church of Hope', [Order] needs to reach Order Level 3 or above to have special abilities. Under this stage, he will always fall into suffering, which is the test of fate. On the other hand, [Order] After breaking through level 3, not only will you have the ability to learn other professional skills, but you will also have the ability to bestow professional skills on others.

"So, since just now, I have always had a terrible guess. If the 'Echoer' is still trapped underground somewhere in the ice and snow wasteland, and the 'half-dragon' boy really has the 'Concealment' skill , then he must have an inseparable connection with Ivan XXII."

"Ivan 22, call." Luo Ka suddenly felt short of breath. After calming down, he slowly analyzed:

"The half-dragon boy stole our 'Perception Hidden', and the Kushen ruins and the 'lowest bottom' are closely related to Ivan 22. Could it be said that this possible dragon boy is really Is it the 'secret patron saint of the Crusted royal family' that Big Brother 'Ice Blade' mentioned a few years ago?"

"Well, maybe, it might be more complicated. Speaking of Lorca, have you ever heard of the 'Twelve-member Extraordinary Technology Council' that was repeatedly established in the middle and later stages of the old empire?" "Future" asked in return.

"I've heard of it. It's said that the original design of the 'Evolution Platform' included Karnosk's macro platform, as well as experiments related to the universe, as well as several 'sequence monsters' related to technology, and even artificial gods' machines. The Daughters of Yuan are all related to them." Luo Ka replied seriously.

Hearing this, "Future" showed an unknown smile, stopped, patted Luo Ka on the shoulder and said:

"In fact, the scientific and technological products of the Crusted Empire basically came from their hands, including those that can now be excavated and restored by us. They are like ghosts hiding in various regions and eras of the old empire, trying to eliminate them in the dark Magic, to create their 'Future Technology Empire'. I think, starting from this aspect, I'm afraid it will be easier to know the secrets underneath the 'Brudging Ruins', and even..."

"Even what?"

"The secret of the birth of the entire wasteland world." "Future" glanced at Luo Ka with a deep look, then quickly took a few steps forward, put his hands in his pockets, shrugged, and said with his back to Luo Ka:

"Your eldest brother, Ice Blade, is indeed powerful. I never thought that he could bury such an important bomb so deep in our Order Society, ready to kill us at any time.

"I only found out yesterday that our 'man-in-charge', the 'No. 5 Army', who has been operating at the end of the railway in the Third District of the Far East for the past few years, rushed to the camp here overnight yesterday. Haha, and he... It turned out that the former leader of your 'Chaos Group', 'North Country', was instigated to rebel ten years ago and became your collaborator."
