Wasteland Echoer

Almost at the same moment, in the Extreme Cold Special Zone, Area A (Old Yashuang Area), near the entrance to B of the "Bitter Relics Ruins", Luo Ka was surging with the full magic power in his body, forming a ball on his fingertips that was nearly ten times the size. The steady flame of candlelight pulls "Future" together to explore in the dark ruins.

It is obvious that after these few days of cultivation, "Future", who was originally exhausted and very weak when he was in Xinfeng Town, has completely restored his original vitality now.

During this period, there were no fierce battles, and there was no need to struggle to avoid wandering "careless people" and "alien monsters" in the wilderness. There was no need to communicate with humans and the lost to consume energy. The troubled "future" of death was able to completely relax the nerves and enjoy a "stable time" that had not been encountered in decades.

Even though he knew that there were many internal crises in the "Brutal Ruins", the aura of "sadness" was strong, and the "Future" was full of spiritual power, he naturally didn't care to come here with Luo Ka and carry his leader "Ice Blade" on his back.

Along the entrance, the two of them had been walking inward for almost fifteen minutes. Feeling inexplicably tired, neither Luo Ka nor "Future" chose to continue moving forward. Instead, they sat down against the stone wall and opened their pockets. a printed note inside.

"S.shikmiryutor yoevxi. (Chinese language: The flame continues.)" As soon as he sat down, Lorca recited the only Chinese language he learned from "Ice Blade".

This mysterious language of divination and magic that combines Eastern and Western cultures is quite difficult for the people of the Western Continent, especially the Crusaders who have little regard for culture.

On the one hand, more than half of the vocabulary in Central Language comes from the ancient language of the Central Empire, and on the other hand, it is borrowed from the Mandarin of the Fire Empire. One is the special and complex "holy language" used by the bishops and orthodox clergy to pray to the gods, which belongs to the ancestor of the Holy Rum language; on the other hand, the hieroglyphs of the Fire Empire are more difficult to learn and remember.

Even if the Confucian sage of Khitan Reis or the Taoist Celestial Master personally taught it, it would be difficult for the people of the Western Continent to understand it at all.

However, practice has proven that if one does not take into account the extraordinary taboos and filthy invasion, using the Middle language instead of the Kruse German to tie the knot will always be strengthened unexpectedly.

When Luo Ka slowly finished reciting the words of soul-binding, the weak flame suddenly shone with a coquettish brilliance, violently splashing sparks outwards. In less than a second, it expanded ten times. After stabilizing, it was almost the size of a fist. On the surface It is also covered with a square layer that looks like a "lampshade" made of blue outer flames.

After the brightness was suitable, "Future" spread out the printing paper, pointed at the brand new "Gun Bear Totem" in the upper right corner, with the ink rubbed out, and said:

"It seems that the information that girl sent us is correct. 'Wind Mine' has shown her a lot of information about prophecies, trying to confirm the [prophet] potential that may be contained in her body. It seems that she has memorized all the information." Came down.

"However, I am really worried for her. You see, Lorca, this kind of slightly thick, very clean paper can only be produced by a few civilian supply factories in the federal Ice Forest Province, relying on replicas of the old empire's machinery. Usually, it is exclusively for use within the Federal Council. Moreover, the text printed by the manual printer is very clear, with no ink leakage, ghosting or crossed-out parts."

"What...does this mean? 'Future'?" Luo Ka came closer and asked curiously.

"Be careful, Lorca, your flame is very strong. Don't burn this only information. My brain is not that good. I can't remember the things above in such a short time." "Future" protected and almost got stained The flaming paper pushed Luo Ka's hand to the side for a short distance before continuing:

"The printed content is very clean, which shows that the girl has not been disturbed. Moreover, the quality of the printer is very good. At least... well... it must be used by a military commander in a region, or a big shot above the level of deputy commander-in-chief of a campaign. .”

"So in the 'future', is it possible that the girl, oh, the Sophia you mentioned, has actually been controlled by the federation, imprisoned in a secret base, tortured, whipped to pieces, and then sequenced The monster was tortured to the point where it could not die and was in so much pain that it had no choice but to tell the federation how to contact you, and then the federation used this to induce us to enter here." Luo Ka speculated:

"In fact, federal soldiers have been ambushing the only way to the 'primary level'. They will arrest us just waiting for us to pass by, and then threaten Brother 'Ice Blade' and your leader."

"Lorca." "Future" showed an awkward yet polite smile, as if looking at a poor boy with cerebral anemia who was about to shrink, he cast a caring look at him and asked:

"Lorca, your eldest brother...'Is the 'Ice Blade' the funny drama that often introduces you to Shakya?"

"Drama? What do you mean?" Luo Ka showed pure eyes and asked seriously.

"Future" suppressed his smile and explained seriously:

"You really have a talent for arranging plays, Lorca. If you had lived in the prosperous era of the Third Era, you might have become a great writer and dramatist. But then again, Sophia is an assassin carefully cultivated by the 'Wind Mine' , in front of me, he can find some opportunities to win.

"Sneaking into the human military camp... Although I can't completely understand her purpose of doing this, she should be voluntary. The newly arrived commander-in-chief of the 'Man-made Lake' battlefield, Yaroslav, is a lonely old man. Sophia used You might have used some means to gain his trust.

"In short, she will not be threatened by humans, let alone live in humiliation. Perhaps...she is not optimistic about Vasily's 'evolution platform' plan. In terms of preventing disasters, we lost people should be able to abandon any Disagreement, agreement.”

"I seem to understand a little bit. So, 'future', what exactly is written on it?" Luo Ka urged.

"I can only read the first two sentences. This content was deciphered from the manuscript of the 'Church of Hope' in the hands of the Zinni people. These contents can only be read at each stage of entering the 'Suffering Relics'. The content of this stage." "Future" explained, folded a small part of the paper, and continued:

"The 'sorrow' here is squeezed to different degrees in different positions, which will inadvertently change our perception. Different text contents can express different states under different degrees of mental power decay, and only when read at the right moment Only in the correct position after change can you make the right choice.

"Once you read certain content in advance and form an irrelevant memory in your brain, the cognitive content will be changed and errors will occur. This is why Sophia did not choose to enter the ruins in person, but printed the content and gave it to me One of the reasons.

"Also, Lorca, I want to confirm something with you. Apart from the two of us, you are sure you didn't bring Nahaka with you, right?"

"Of course not." Luo Ka nodded vigorously and said:

"I... also know that there will be dangers when entering here, so I don't want to make Brother Ice Blade too sad. Although Nahaka has been with me since I can remember, I believe that Nahaka is' A strange beast from the cat tribe, he can accompany the Ice Blade until the end of the war.

"After all, I'm also looking forward to Brother Ice Blade seeing Nahaka transform back into the handsome cat-eared 'orc' we've never seen before."

"Okay, Lorca. We haven't encountered danger yet, so I'm just saying such sad things. I can be sure that no cats will come in, let alone 'cat aliens'. We Crusaders think cats are 'forests'" The most loyal servant of the god Wells, or his other identity, can communicate spiritual energy. If he is here, he will absorb more of the 'sorrow', thereby creating a 'negative energy resonance' between us and accelerating us. Cognitive degradation, mental decline, and cognitive confusion." "Future" explained seriously:

"I speculate that the last time you took Nahaka, you accidentally opened a 'jump formation' through opportunism and mistakenly entered the core area of ​​the 'Bitter Ruins', but failed to change under the pressure of 'Shang'." The further reason is probably that we brought him with us. I'm sure that if he wasn't here, we should be able to get close to the 'lowest bottom', get close to the sculpture of Ivan XXII, and even take away some of the old empire's technological products Small items in exchange for resources from the federation.”

"I hope we can get close there." Luo Ka said somewhat unconfidently:

"However, when I come in this time, I want to find Brother Gleb even more. After he had a fight with Brother 'Ice Blade' more than a week ago, he said he wanted to come here. After finding the 'Perceptual Hidden', he inserted it together with other chips. Use the brain to resurrect him.

"He knows that Yato was once the most outstanding person in the 'Church of Hope' founded by the Lost Ones of Zine, and was strengthened by the 'Dark Drive Core'. Gleb believes that Yato's power is enough to drive away and 'Scorch' The frozen power intertwined with liquid helped the elder brother recover his health.

"I think it's best for us to find him this time and follow him to find the 'Hidden Perception' together."

"It would be great to have a helper." "Future" nodded slightly, affirming, and then he read the content on the paper:

"We have just entered entrance B, so we should follow the instructions in the first sentence. The content is:

"You should not be afraid of the newly born dark tomb. The empty corridor is full of corpses. The distant water pool seems to be silent, and the dancing black shadows have not left the steam." ’”

"How should we understand it?" Luo Ka asked, feeling confused.

"Let's go forward. This passage is as empty as an underground experimental site in the old empire. You should have the answer after passing this section. By the way, the violent earthquake that happened just now should have collapsed the stones at the entrance. , if we don’t move forward, it will be difficult for us to leave without being noticed by humans.”

"Future" said, put the paper back into the inner pocket of his jacket, took Luo Ka's hand and walked towards the darker place ahead.

From the moment they entered until now, they have not noticed that right opposite where they are sitting, there is a federal soldier whose neck was cut open by a sharp object, and thick black liquid was flowing out.

The soldier kept struggling and crying helplessly until his legs fell off and his arms rotted into soft claws similar to those of a crab, and then he stopped moving completely.

As soon as Lorca and "Future" left, his body turned into a puddle of black powder. Blown by the subtle "strong wind", it turned into a thin layer of black smoke and a piece of laser weapon activated with a double-headed eagle printed on it. Patterned battery.
