Wasteland Echoer

"I think I should have guessed who the person you are looking for is. Based on my personal experience and experience, the advice I can give you is, don't be coerced by the difficulties of reality and the cowardice in your heart. You should be like Nabu Like the dancing dandelions on the Skerk plain, they are not afraid of rainstorms and strong winds, fire and ice, just for the dream in their hearts, crossing the "big railway", crossing the "Ice Mountains", crossing the "Ice River", crossing The vast areas of the 'Far North Forest' and the 'North and South Karloff Zone' reach the turbulent ocean in the dream," "Big Brother" advised in an exciting tone:

"The meaning of the existence of every life is the life itself. People with 'wisdom' and 'divineness' should not be coerced by the so-called 'fate' and 'rules' and hesitate to move forward or make progress.

"Anyone who claims to have been played by fate may have never really resisted fate. People who feel they have lost hope may have just been under the dark night for too long and have long forgotten the true color of the sun. Luo Nie, do you know? ? Actually, I am an upper-level professional, and my profession is [Prophet]."

"Have you passed the test of the sequence cards?" Luo Nie blurted out subconsciously. After all, he has existed in the world as a machine for a hundred years and for more than thirty years since he acquired [personality] and became a human. They have never been recognized by "Sequence Cards".

He also found Patriarch Constantine Novayasnov of St. Ivan's Cathedral as an Orthodox believer, and briefly served for the "Federal Council of Clergy" as the "Prologue Oracle" The "Thunder Page" was requested by these two former clergymen who were quite skilled in the "Sequential Card Divination Ceremony" to operate it.

The available results are either "nothing" cards or three completely reversed cards.

In the divination results of the "Sequence Card", this means that you are temporarily not qualified to obtain the Creator's approval and cannot be promoted to an upper-level profession.

And Luo Nie clearly remembered that the three reversed cards were "Love", "Chaos" and "Order", which meant that if the "Sequential Card Divination" was performed again in the future, it would never happen again. If the above three outcomes occur, he will never step into the three professional ranks of [God of Love], [Causing Chaos] and [Order].

But once all the cards appear in reversed form, it means that Luo Nie can no longer be promoted to any upper-level profession. He may only exist as a nondescript identity as "the creation of the Lord of Machines" , relying on the not too weak "Light of Mechanical Spirit" and some ordinary grass and tree magic source skills to survive in the chaotic world.

Therefore, he will have an involuntary sensitivity to any professional-related topics.

After thinking for a few seconds, Luo Nie smiled bitterly and expressed his apology to "Big Brother":

"Please forgive me for being rude. Since you have the profession of [Prophet], you have naturally been recognized by the sequence cards. What I...are really curious about is, have you ever used some...um...[Prophet] 】Professional-specific skills?”

"Of course." "Big Brother"'s tone was full of pride as an upper-class professional, but when he thought of Luo Nie's pain, he turned to a relatively calm tone and said:

"I often use the basic skills of 'Construction' and 'Analysis', but as the intensity of the war increases, the surviving humans are either half-crazy, or have terrifyingly high mental powers. Those created through 'Construction' The spiritual world does not influence them very effectively.

"Especially the child Taliyah. When she was a child, I often created a Central-style duel field and a Zine-style mechanical city for her to train her fighting skills. But she became immune to these things when she was 15 years old. Ordinary mental power The dangerous environment created is no longer enough to satisfy her cultivation, and naturally it will not allow her to continue to improve."

"That's it... I originally thought that upper-level professionals, especially the [Prophet] profession, could influence the world with just a small skill." Luo Nie said with emotion.

"Haha, it's very difficult to influence the world. At least it has to reach the level of Sequence 2: Abandonment. You know..." "Big Brother" crossed his arms on his chest, leaned against an abandoned iron wall, and told:

"This is an era of declining magic power. The excessive development of the steam industry in the third era scared away animals with sufficient spirituality, such as white rabbits, elk, wolves, bears, etc. The forests and cultivated land that provide raw materials for industry Habitable zones such as cities, lakes, and grasslands have been continuously and uncontrollably plundered and destroyed, turning the magic source power from something readily available to a treasure that cannot be obtained without strong spiritual power.

"The great saint, Edari Sage, known as the 'Supreme Presage' once said: All 'existences' have a basis for maintaining their basic 'survival', and the universe relies on the most basic infinitesimal particles. , Human beings rely on small living creatures that are closely connected, and all extraordinary things and magic rely on the power of magic to ensure that they will never decay. "

Hearing this, Luo Nie's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at "Big Brother" and asked:

"I remember he was a human from the Second Era. From this sentence, I actually heard the results of the physics and biology discoveries in the middle and late Third Era. Could it be that he really had a glimpse of the 'future', but for a moment Unable to understand the inscrutable vocabulary of physics, can we only describe them in relatively simple language?"

"Now that you've asked this, I won't make any further preparations." "Big Brother"'s tone suddenly became much more serious and he said:

“Small abilities like ‘Formulation’ do not provide much help to us [Prophets]. In fact, they are rarely used in combat, but more to help confused people escape from the sea of ​​​​thinking.

"For us, no, for humans, the most difficult thing is to get the 'future direction'. We all long for the 'Heartless Man' to disappear, the Wasteland Era to be destroyed, and the world to usher in a new era. Vasily that Whether it is the 'Restart Era' proposed by the devil or the 'Star Era' imagined by the ancestors, it is a wonderful 'result'."

"What you want to say is that the 'process' is very important, and it is also a 'direction' that is difficult to explore and full of confusion, mistakes and failures, right?" Luo Nie continued to ask.

"Yes." "Big Brother" looked up at the night sky, which had turned dark for some time, and could not even catch the light of the stars, and replied:

"We don't know how to strategically besiege the 'Wuxin', how to unite the Lost on the road, how to bind humans scattered in various strongholds through interests, let alone know about humans, the Lost, and all humanoid creatures with intelligence. What kind of organizational structure will be used to unite them?

"This requires us [Prophets]. As long as the magic power is as sufficient as it was in the second era, and we have a small room full of divine objects, we can pass simple magic arrays and rituals , sacrifice your life, physical strength, magic and 'future', eliminate wrong options and find the right path in various parallel time and spaces that may intersect or never intersect. "

"This kind of ability surpasses the gods, and is closer to the behavior that can only be achieved by the Creator." Luo Nie exclaimed, but there was still a trace of doubt in his tone.

"Our strength may come directly from the Creator." "Big Brother" turned around, stroked the iron wall covered with mottled rust, and said:

"The outside world calls our ability 'prophecy'. In fact, it is just seeing the past or predicting what will happen in a few days on a small scale. This weak ability can indeed be called 'prophecy'. However, through a large number of "Prophecy" is used to analyze and find the correct direction of the world. This ability is generally called "divination".

"Divination?" Luo Nie asked doubtfully.

"This is a vocabulary invented by those practitioners of magic source power among the Khitan people who call themselves 'immortals.'" "Big Brother" imitated the slightly poetic tone of the Orientals and said:

"Choose the direction from the branches as complex as ants, and guide the world along the right path. This is what the Creator can do. Therefore, many people will suffer from the pain and despair caused by [Divination] Die because they never found their way.

"Now, we will no longer feel confused. Saint Adari Sage has already told us the real future through "Future Epic"."

"What...'the future'?" Luo Nie asked curiously.

"Previously, we had stolen the information obtained from Joigrad's 'Evolution Table' in the custody of the Federal Council. Among them were the Edari manuscripts written by theologians of the old empire. After translating the obscure and difficult-to-understand manuscripts, "Big Brother" took out a worn notebook from his arms and opened the latest page. Staring at the German text written with a pen on it, Kruse said:

"According to Marco and I's calculations, the content predicted by 'H-203' should be what happened in our northern region a few months ago to the present. It is specifically related to the 'Suffering Deep Ruins' and the 'Red Fantasy Ruins' It is related to the ground battle. The last sentence of the 'H-203' prophecy, which is the follow-up to 'Beidou's memorial and the ripples of the remaining flames', should be followed by this sentence, which we named 'Red Phantom Nightmare'. "

"Which sentence?"

"The loyal fire of karma abandons the weak gods, and the future of [Order] awakens among the ice; the old mechas create a new world, and the surviving beasts pursue the moans of the dragons."
