Chapter 232 The advent of silence (99): Golden sea of flowers (Part 1)
A strong sense of weightlessness surrounded Laite's body. As was consistent with the previous information, "Vita Water" had no mass or volume. During the fall, he just felt that he was falling freely in the air, rather than falling into the dark deep sea.
The deeper he fell, Laite felt that the surrounding light was increasingly blocked by the "Vita Water", becoming dim and lifeless.
The darkness became darker, the silence became more and more lonely, making Laite feel extremely lonely.
It's like walking in an eternal wilderness, like being in a sky full of yellow sand, with gravel and gravel under your feet, and an endless desolate place in front of you, as if you can never find the end as far as you can see.
.
Loneliness, indifference, anxiety, and painful whispers began to echo in his ears. The endless "sorrow" and the emotion mixed with the smell of "death in life" began to erode his heart that had become mechanical and exuded blue.
Colorful heart.
Until the darkness reaches its extreme, in the "Vita Water" that has no mass or volume and can breathe perfectly, Laite's seven orifices quietly overflow with wisps of pure white smoke that wriggles perfectly and elegantly.
They intertwined and changed around Laite's body, dancing wantonly, and following his fall, they actually formed an extremely complex mechanical Higanbana simple totem that even the best painters could not complete, using only lines to outline.
Immediately afterwards, as the surrounding sounds and the pervasive "mourn" atmosphere quickly dissipated, Laite suddenly opened his eyes.
"How long?" Laite murmured softly and looked around.
After the numbness caused by briefly and forcefully closing his eyes closed, Laite saw a glimmer of light in the endless darkness.
For a moment, he seemed to hear someone singing a country music with a very Cruzeque style in a girl's pure voice.
Then, the subtle, hazy light began to gradually spread, like the arrival of a swarm of fireflies in the long night. In an instant, the surroundings began to turn from pure black to dim and turbid.
With the subtle light, as he fell, Laite saw that he was walking through an industrial city that had been rotated ninety degrees and was vertical to the original ground.
There is no verdant green, fragrant flowers and chirping birds, no majestic mountains and rushing rivers, no warm sun, and no terrifying scarlet moon hanging high above.
There is a silence after abandonment.
Countless steel buildings lie across the vast city. The towering iron towers are pierced by huge steel bars that flew from nowhere. They are leaning sideways in a weird posture. They seem to be crumbling, but they form a triangular structure with the steel bars, like a knight.
Stand firm.
There are several rusty warships floating on the "bare" river bed. They have no masts, no flags, and even a lot of hulls are missing, but they still protect the solid and stretching sea behind them like royal "guardians".
bridge.
The bridge was very long. Whether it was the previous world or the Zine Empire in this wasteland world, Laite had never seen such a majestic bridge project.
Although there is no roiling river water, its length of at least one kilometer and width of thirty meters demonstrate the ultimate power of human beings in conquering nature in the Steam Age.
Continuing to fall, a mechanical building with a heavy technological flair that was close to a hundred meters high passed past Lite's eyes.
The majestic high-rise buildings almost obscured the magnificent mountains behind, and their dark style made Laite unable to help but feel the insignificance of human beings, and he suddenly felt the absolute worship of machinery.
The wide base at the bottom, the solid wall in the middle, and the thin tower at the top that looks like it's sticking straight into the clouds form a very futuristic picture.
The majesty is extremely short-lived, just like the overturned human civilization in the Steam Age.
Just two or three seconds later, the building silhouette completely dissipated. In an instant, Laite actually saw the dark "dome" shrouding the edge of the city!
It is so spectacular, so towering, so magnificent, so magnificent!
Just like the palm of a giant, the holy shield of a knight, and the sky of the "temple", it protects mankind and the city.
Laite suddenly realized that the dome was not a disaster, not an enemy, but a guardian. The dome that shrouded Socra protected generations of the people of the empire, protecting them from "viruses" and war games from the outside world.
But as long as the Socra Committee first finds the divine domain of the "Daughter of Tool Yuan" and starts the "Blood Night Ritual" and "Lalaya's Dream", all the good things will disappear. By then, the blood of millions of people may dye the night sky red, It flowed into the Luyin River and became a shame that will never be erased in the history of the Empire.
While he was thinking about it, a thick and intoxicating fog instantly surged out and enveloped Laite.
The bright white fog invaded and deprived Laite of all his senses. It wasn't until the extreme white burning made him feel the panic and panic that transcended the darkness that he felt that his body had gently fallen to the ground, and he finally ended this torturous journey. .
"The ground...is the ground, has it...arrived?" Laite whispered to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he first clenched his fist with his left hand and beat the ground hard. After hearing the dull sound of the collision of flesh and the ground, he smiled, supported his heavy body, and stood up unsteadily.
At the same time, the strange thick fog that shrouded his body instantly dissipated, and after he really opened his eyes again, he actually saw the long-lost sunshine!
"Light? Light! Hahaha, hahaha..." Laite exclaimed. Regardless of being in the dark for a long time, his eyes stung and shed tears when he suddenly saw the bright light. He danced and jumped like a child. , laughing wildly and looking at the surrounding environment.
He was too depressed. Indeed, he was too depressed during this period.
Ever since he experienced a strange dream and woke up from the city of Socra, he rarely saw real sunlight in reality.
In this wasteland world, everything is gray, dark, and scarlet. The long night sky and the scarlet moon hanging high in the sky are the realities that accompany him most; psychedelic colors, chaotic space, and evil thoughts All kinds of creatures with a purpose are the dreams that accompany him most.
He hasn't seen the light for a long time. Ever since the beginning of the "Battle of Silent Advent" and the brilliant fireworks of the "Thermite Final Silence" cannonballs, he has been in a dark place, and he has never seen the real "light" at all. ”.
In this brief, sunny situation, Laite finally no longer had to feel the solemn atmosphere and tense nerves.
With the power of the red magic source, he should have been born in the light, embrace the brilliance, annihilate all the filth of darkness, and cut off all evil spirits, monsters, darkness and darkness.
"Era Five: The Creator created human beings and gave them the soul to seek light. Human beings naturally long for light, just like plants long for water. Where light exists, there is hope."
In an instant, a motto from "The Secret Book" echoed in Laite's mind.
After experiencing the joy and excitement of seeing the light again, Laite gasped for air and stood on the same spot with one hand supporting his sore knees.
After his physical strength recovered a little, he regained his senses, looked around, and began to examine the surrounding environment.
The sky is an extremely normal blue, with several clouds of different shapes floating there. Between the blue curtain is a perfectly normal sun, which is spreading its white brilliance to the earth.
Looking down, Laite was stepping on the soft soil. The ground not far ahead was covered with lush green grass. They were floating in the wind like seaweed, but they were uniform and formed a grassland.
The sight swept further into the distance, where there was an endless sea of sunflowers. Countless sunflowers were "gazing" at the scorching sun, paying the highest respect to it.
On the whole, it looks like a vast unexplored plain to the east of the mountains on the border of the Zine Empire, or the border between the Crusted Empire and the Zine Empire, which is under the jurisdiction of the Waters Province, to the west of the Southern Swamp, Mamowu.
The beautiful grassland is formed east of the discontinuous area at the end of the northward tributary of the Si River.
Unbelievable, unbelievable!
Laite rubbed his eyes vigorously, and while smiling, he slapped himself a few more times. After confirming that this was not a dream, he lowered his head, held his chin and analyzed cautiously:
"It doesn't feel like I've come to the underground world or the underwater world, it's more like I've come to another parallel space. According to common sense, there shouldn't be such a vast grassland in the center of Silent Highlands, as well as this unseen area.
To the sea of sunflowers at the edge... It seems to be right, this is really the connection place of 'alien space'. Sure enough, the closer you get to the realm of gods, the extraordinary evil will recede. This is the ultimate beauty in the human world view.
situation."
"However, in this way, the space is too big and there is no direction. It seems like Luo Nie... that mechanical body has not successfully passed through the 'Vita Water'. If you wait here... If there is chaos in time and space, I'm afraid you will have to wait forever.
Now. If you explore the God's Realm on your own...where is its direction? Could it be Sunflower? Wait, Sunflower!"
Laite raised his head abruptly, a pair of black eyes circling in his eye sockets, focusing on the sea of sunflowers.
"If I remember correctly, the sunflower is the second national flower of Cruz Germany. I remember Moros told me that the flower of Cruz Germany is chamomile. This plant with short plants and young flowers symbolizes 'strong life, adversity.
The will to grow and be indomitable coincides with the will needed by the Crusaders living in the cold realm. But chasing the sun is also what they need, longing for the light, and abandoning the darkness are also the will in their bones, so they
It is not difficult to find traces of sunflowers in our culture. In that case, why not try to walk into the sea of sunflowers? Maybe you will make new discoveries? Try...?"
While he was thinking, Laite suddenly felt that the picture in front of him had changed strangely. He looked around again, and he was already among the sunflowers!
Just as he was about to take a step and explore deeper, Laite suddenly felt a thin palm forcefully tap his shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a resentful, soft, and unique voice belonging to a boy:
"Yes, this is the smell of [Order], Laite... Laite? Mr. Sugra, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
