Wasteland Echoer

"Are you crazy, Daniel? Do you dare to accept a gift like a monster? Let's not talk about whether it is a real god. Even if it is a blessing from a god, you will not choose the form of a monster." Wofya reminded with a stern voice.

However, although Daniel still seems to be awake as a human being, perhaps due to the influence of the monster, he has become very stubborn.

Daniel was seen manipulating the armor composed of "black flies", and relying on the fly-like wings that flapped at high speed, he flew directly above Dak and Wulfya, looking down at the two of them, and then heavily like them. He beat his chest several times like a gorilla, and then said in a disdainful tone:

"You are jealous, naked jealousy. The gods recognized by the Creator have full autonomy. As long as the calls of us believers are pious enough and often enough, they will give us gifts at any time and in any form. Bless us.

"You know what these 'black flies' are, so why don't you come and let me take them off?"

Hearing this, Wulfya was a little angry. He picked up a bench nearby and wanted to throw it up to hit Daniel. Fortunately, Dak had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stopped Wofya with force.

After grabbing the bench and throwing it aside, Dark asked with a worried look on his face:

"Then... Daniel, tell me what the 'black flies' are. If, uh, they are not harmful, Wovya and I will definitely congratulate you. After all, not everyone Can be truly blessed by God.”

"This is what a friend should say." Daniel smiled proudly, "flyed" back to the small altar, and began to tell:

"The information about the 'Black Fly' was automatically engraved into my soul from the moment I put on this armor. By the way, do you still remember that it was active at the end of the Third Era and was banned until the beginning of the Fourth Era? That organization whose name cannot be mentioned.”

"Of course I do." Dak replied casually. At this moment, he seemed to understand what Daniel meant, "You want to say that this is not an ordinary monster, but... a sequential monster?"

"Of course." Daniel said with pride in his tone, not caring about the danger that sequential monsters naturally bring to humans. "This 'black fly' was once captured by that organization. During the research, it was numbered It's 'MB-1892'. This armor is divided into 'technical mode' and 'biological mode'. What you just saw is its 'technological mode', and now it's on me, it looks like old empire heavy armor. The knight's armor-like state is its 'biological state'."

As Daniel spoke, he stopped flapping the wings of the "Black Fly" and suspended it in mid-air in an extremely unreasonable posture. He cleared his throat and continued:

"Actually, the 'Black Fly', as the name suggests, was originally composed of many 'flies' in the order of monsters. This piece of equipment is a masterpiece of the Khitan Reese people. It was about the 300th year of the Dragon Yuan Dynasty, when the Khitan Reese Emperor's force During the reign of "Zhe", a group of navigators bypassed the dark storm and went to the end of the empire's rule in the southeastern sea, that is, the extreme edge of the "Wanli Sea Territory", a place called the "Heimin Islands".

"They found some black eggs that exuded a particularly sweet smell in the deepest part of the cave there. They also saw a dead creature in the form of an Eastern dragon next to them. They thought this was a blessing and gift from God, so they The eggs and the heads of dragon-shaped creatures were brought into the cabin."

"Dragon?" Duck read the word in standard Khitanese, "Dead... Eastern dragon?"

"That's right." Daniel nodded and said affectionately:

"Khitan Reese, or the entire Yanhuo Empire, is built on the Dragon Clan. You must have heard that their founder, Lord Yan, gave birth to his son after in-depth exchanges with several young ladies who transformed into Dragon Clan. His direct descendants. It can also be said that half of the dragon blood flows in the entire Yanhuo Empire royal family.

"This can also explain why the emperors of the Fire Empire mostly advocate force and are very bloody. Most of the time, they would rather die with dignity than live in humiliation. Then again, those people The adventurers who went to the "Heimin Islands" believed that the eggs were born by dragons, and even placed incense tables and wooden dragon sculptures in the style of Khitan Lis culture in the cabin, worshiping them day and night.

"However, these eggs are actually born from monsters that have survived here for hundreds of years. Since the 'Black Melt Islands' are quite close to the realm where the so-called ancient gods roam, they have been blessed by the dual power of the ancient and the void, and have become the The evil spirits of misfortune, disaster and misery.”

"You know it's evil, but you still dare to wear it on your body. Should I say that you are overconfident, or that your mind is controlled by a monster." Dark cursed.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." The corners of Daniel's mouth raised sharply, his limbs turned outwards, fluttered, twisted and stretched in the air, and continued:

"Indeed, these eggs have the ability to 'charm' people at the very beginning. The sweet information they release is a kind of 'inducing hormone' used to capture prey. But the most abundant source of fire magic in the entire country of Khitanris is the power of fire magic. As long as you live there for a long time, there will be more or less some in your body.

"When the 'inducing hormone' of those eggs collided with the flames in the Khitan Reese people, they began to go crazy. Later, when the ship was in the southern part of the Khitan Reese, located in Xiport, Nanjiang Province, except for a few people covered in blood , with wounds on their faces and crazy crew members who had already paid New Year's greetings, there were only a group of black flies with bloated abdomens, glowing blood red, and almost no strength to fly. "

"Could it be that those explorers...the dead crew members were actually sucked clean of their blood?" Duck speculated, feeling a little mentally uncomfortable.

"Yes, but not entirely right." Daniel said:

"Due to the rising temperature on the ship, those eggs were still cute, young, and charming maggots the size of a finger when they first hatched. As they continued to release the instinctive 'charm' ability given to them by nature, they were still as white as angels. appearance.

"It's just that among the 'charmed' explorer crew, there are neither Eastern magic masters who are skilled in controlling the magic power, nor believers who have devout faith in the gods. Every night, the crew members voluntarily give their own Blood, body and soul, as nourishment for the maggots.”

"What kind of charm can make those crew members who have experienced strong winds and waves so fascinated?" Duck asked, feeling strange.

"Desire is a desire that comes from deep within. Often, things that have never been obtained can be attractive to people. They either inspire humans to move towards their goals, or they fall into the illusion of drugs or magic until they die. "Daniel explained using the knowledge he learned:

"Physiological needs, existential needs, social needs, communication needs and self-actualization needs. Professor Maslow, a behavioral management researcher of the Putua Federation, can be said to have insight into the hearts of all human beings. Human beings are always insatiable, a need Once satisfied, higher-level needs will be pursued until failure or death.

"And those maggots built a wonderful fantasy world for the crew. According to Chen Yuanming, the deputy captain who was lucky enough to be rescued ashore and was sober in a mental hospital, during the period of obeying the maggots, It felt like he had lived a whole century."

"Has his mental perception and brain speed been enhanced? But with a human brain, no matter what..." Dark tried to argue.

"You are wrong, Duck." Daniel interrupted:

"Our scientists will never study our human brains clearly, just like the Creator will never fully understand the universe He created. The existence of human beings is a small miracle in the desolate universe. If our brains are When fully developed, the energy unleashed is enough to make each of us humans a god.

"In his fantasy, Chen Yuanming successfully completed the voyage, was commended by the then emperor of the empire as a 'warrior', and became a general. Later, he explored the farther eastern seas and discovered a land occupied by the servants of the ancient gods. Mainland and island. In the dream, Chen Yuanming led the Khitan Reese’s invincible fleet to destroy the ancient gods one after another, helping the Khitan Reese to become the most powerful empire with both sea and land power.”

"What a great fantasy. Chen Yuanming must often read some cool novels written by depressed cowards who lie in bed and fantasize every day but are unwilling to make real efforts. What about "Khitan Reese Sea Power Empire" and "Navigation Overlord: I" "Controlling the Khitanris" and "Voyage: Building an Empire from Scratch" and the like. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such an outrageous dream." Dark said with a sneer.

"Even the most famous poor navigator in the Putoa Federation was at least of noble origin. He received financial support from the Governor of Hispana Province and barely reached the realm of the ancient gods. If we say that this world really has According to the male protagonist Shuangwen, the wasteland era should have ended long ago, and the new peaceful world should have arrived long ago. "

"Let's talk about those maggots." Seeing that it was difficult to answer, Daniel tried to put the topic on the right track:

"Later, after blowing up the ship that went to the 'Black Min Islands', the theologians of Khitan Reis brought the maggots back to the mountains near Gubin City to cultivate them and named them 'Black Min Fly' '. After brutal training with complex technology, the Khitanris finally eliminated their autonomous consciousness and made this semi-biological armor."

"Since the armor is made by the Khitanris, why does it have the style of our Krusted?" Wulfya asked the key to the problem.

"That's because." Daniel said, slowly descended from mid-air, and explained:

"At that time, when Charles XII was on the throne, it happened to be the era when the three empires of Khitanris, Aventre and Crusted had the closest exchanges. The group of Khitanris theologians may know about this sequential monster. It may cause disaster. In order not to damage the reputation of the Khitanris nation thousands of years later, they deliberately chose our armor style when training this group of 'black flies'." (End of this chapter)
