Wasteland Echoer

"It seems that now I can only accept your request, right, 'Future'?" Wright walked slowly to "Future" with a kind smile on his lips, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at the man who was slightly shorter than him. The "leader" of the Order.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his right hand that still had the blood of the Eternal Red Lord and gently pinched Future's chin. He stared at the face that was half human and half "monster" for nearly half a minute before relaxing. Slowly he said:

"Although there is a strong and suffocating 'sorrow' on your face, there are no traces of lies or deception. I... I still remember that the people in the Zine Empire, whether it is Ivante Whether it is the human beings headed by them or the lost ones headed by the three major churches, they all rely on various lies to maintain their survival.

"I know that you, it is not Dak who appears here. It is the arrangement of the Creator and the driving of the wheel of fate. I am willing to accept the arrangement of fate, just like in the Sune Empire."

"Thank you... Thank you, Lord Echoer." The "Future" whose chin was pinched seemed a little flustered. Although he got the response he wanted, he was still attracted by the "ancient god" Dipser on Wright's body. The breath impacted the spiritual realm.

You can feel the innate fear all over your body, including every hair and pore.

However, even though his arms were still shaking slightly unconsciously, "Future" still maintained his apparent calmness and answered with honorifics:

"Master 'Echoer', after leaving this 'Non-Euclidean Tunnel', you can reach the next unknown area. This tunnel... I have read a story under Karnosk's 'Macro Terrace' A document told me that this type of tunnel was a by-product discovered by the old empire when it was... studying aerospace technology."

"Interesting, let's continue. However, don't call me 'Echoer' again, and don't call me the evil god. After all, I didn't do anything bad, right?" Wright pointed at the "future", treating him like a child. He blinked his eyes like a child and said:

"Just call me Wright. I am a human being just like those poor things living in the Zine Empire and the Crusted Federation. I am neither a god nor an extraordinary person. I am just an ordinary person from a different world. human beings.”

"Okay, 'return'... Lord Wright." Under the impact of Dipser's power, "Future" had completely lost the confidence that he had just talked about, but he still swallowed and continued:

"The 'Non-Euclidean Tunnel' will lead to a random, unknown, and unpredictable space. Originally, the old empire wanted to create an 'interstellar jump array' that would lead to the deepest part of the universe created by the Creator. Scientists from the old empire We have discovered and controlled wormholes for a time, but unfortunately, there has been no breakthrough in aerospace technology, which has also resulted in the 'leap' produced by technology not being as smooth and smooth as the magic source power."

"The technology tree is crooked, that's it." Wright laughed and made a flip-flop.

"Future" seemed to have gradually recovered from the impact of the power belonging to "Dipser" in Wright's body. He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and followed the item that was still not very clean, stained with chemicals and blood. He looked up at the dirty Socra Guard uniform, until he met Wright's dark eyes again, he continued with a smile:

"Perhaps, as Ivanov, a scientist from the old empire, said, first there is a spaceflight method that can break through the gravity of this planet, and then the skills we have to explore the universe can be effective. Whether it is technology or magic, this is obviously the Creator. We can never overcome the restrictions set for us, just like humans can never completely eliminate us lost ones.

"The old empire once created a 'jump array' that could travel through any area of ​​the Krusted Empire at will, which was faster and more efficient than the magic source power. Ivan XXIII once named it the 'Io Tunnel' ', in order to commemorate a spherical elf who was born in the Ice Demon tribe and was able to lead their people to make space jumps. "

"Interesting, spherical elves...'Io Tunnel'..." Wright said thoughtfully:

"Is this related to the 'non-Euclidean tunnel' before us?"

"Yes." "Future" nodded and said:

"The part about technology in Kanosk's 'Hongtai Document No. 2' mentioned that the 'Io Tunnel' had accidents one after another, and the 'Imperial Experimental Personnel' were teleported and lost. In other words, they were teleported to places that did not belong to the Empire. area, and even those scientists speculate that the 'lost' personnel may have gone to the continent west of the endless ice ocean where the 'old gods' live.

"Later, a scientist named Ilya Alexander Rurik asked the 'experimental personnel' to put on heavy, highly airtight diving suits with rebreathers and run 'Ioton' again. "Tunnel" for teleportation. This time, one person was actually "teleported" back."

"Where did he go?" Wright asked curiously.

"The 'experimental person' named Ian claimed to have arrived in a cold space with no gravity and mostly darkness. However, he saw countless beautiful clouds composed of stars, and a twisted hollow. There is a line of light running through it, and countless stars are constantly rotating and rushing inward. ""Future" vividly describes it from the perspective of an "experimental level personnel":

"It's just that then he saw a huge hand that seemed to tear through the curtain of stars and stretched out from a higher dimension. It used an ethereal voice to warn him not to set foot in the human restricted area again, and at the same time, he stretched out two fingers. Bounced him back into the laboratory.

"Later, this 'Io Tunnel' was sealed by the old empire until the time of Ivan XXV, when it was handed over to the banned organization and named 'Category C-ranked Monster: MB-1818: Io Tunnel' This 'Non-Euclidean Tunnel' was reproduced based on the technology of the Io Tunnel during the time of Ivan XXV, but it was also not realized. The pre-conceived stable jump transmission function can only create a limited volume of alien space in a small area, and jump continuously in these spaces. "

"Wait..." Wright discovered the clue and asked "the future":

"This 'Red Fantasy Ruins' was built during the reign of Ivan XXII, right? It was an evil back-up plan to ensure that the mad emperor and the entire empire perished together. So, why is this tunnel built by Ivan XXV? It was built during the period. If you calculate it this way, there seems to be no way to jump within the 'Red Fantasy Ruins' during the period between the two emperors' reign. After all, except for this tunnel, I was trapped here for the thirty years. There is no other way out of here.”

"Your guess is correct, Lord Wright." "Future" nodded slightly, looked at Wright with an affirmative look, and said:

"The royal family of Krusted did not actually agree with Ivan XXII's plan, but they did not dare to make it public. On the one hand, they were afraid of the title of 'The Greatest Emperor of Krusted' On the other hand, their rule itself was not stable, and it happened to be at the period when the empire collapsed as calculated by Ivan XXII, so they did not dare to openly destroy the 'Red Fantasy Ruins'.

"In addition, when Ivan XXII built the 'Red Fantasy Ruins', he never thought about turning back, so there was no shortcut for internal and external communication. Even his successor to the throne can only rely on one piece of equipment that relies on the royal blood to activate it. The mecha was able to reluctantly come here and install the 'Non-Euclidean Tunnel'."

"A crazy person may be able to lead an empire to greatness, but it will eventually bring about real destruction." Wright took a few steps forward, turned his back to the "future" and sighed:

"Alas, perhaps the original intention of Sugla's gang, including General George Sugla, was to use my soul and the power of the red magic source to defeat the enemy in front of me, but they unintentionally set up a mission for me, the mission to end the wasteland world. . I can feel that all the forces are running secretly, driving me towards this goal. Perhaps, the half month I flew here, soaked in the dragon power, was just for this moment.

"'In the future', I will not only promise you to find the 'Control Fire of Heaven's Punishment', I will also promise you to destroy it. As long as you tell me the specific operation method, I am willing to use all the power I have to prevent the explosion. Happened. Cruelty is never the law of human survival; destruction is destined to be unable to escape the long night of the wasteland."

"Thank you, Lord Wright." "Future" held tears in his eyes and gave Wright a hug from behind.

…

The two people who walked out of the "non-Euclidean" space felt as if a century had passed. All the changes in light and matter in the space were moving towards the ultimate abstract art that they could not understand. change.

It wasn't until the farthest whistle, which symbolized the return of the soul, and the bells similar to those of St. Ivan's Cathedral rang, that Wright and "Future" broke away from the dizzy "leap".

"Where is this?" Wright asked.

After clearing away the extremely unreal feeling in his mind and body, Wright felt the extremely exaggerated sunshine for the first time. When he came back to his senses, Wright found that he was standing in an endless desert with "Future".

Looking around, except for some dry trees, standing poplar trees, and a pool of muddy water in the distance, there was only a piece of dry and cracked land next to it.

"This is an alien plane in the 'Red Fantasy Ruins'. If I remember correctly, it is the space where Ivan XXII imitated the living environment of the people in the east of the Central Empire." "Future" wiped his forehead. With flowing sweat and enduring the scorching temperature, he answered.

Looking up at the not dazzling sun, Wright's mind suddenly flashed back to the searchlight at the top of the palace space just now, as well as the Yongchi Lord who was thrown high by him and never landed. He turned around and asked tentatively "Future" said:

"Speaking of just now, when you came in, did you see the red-haired, handsome... um... former god who was stained with the 'ancient atmosphere'? He was the one who was thrown up after being knocked down by me. that."

"Lord Wright, are you talking about the spokesperson of 'Plamini', the Lord of the Order God Eternal Red? I didn't see him in the palace." "Future" held his chin while thinking, Bian recalled:

"However, I saw him when the 'Ancient Power' guided me through an oasis area. His body, except for his head, was extremely dry... There was indeed a strong 'Ancient Power', and the divine aura All has been lost long ago.

"I think, with the appearance of that body... the Lord of Eternal Red must have died a long time ago."
