Stepping on the solid concrete floor, Laite felt for a moment that he had traveled back to his original world.
The "steady", "steady" and "hard" texture was transmitted from the ground to his feet, and then merged into his spirit. Combined with the bright illusion, he finally completely abandoned the chaotic depression he had always felt.
War, killing, deception, filth, filth, blood and death, these cruel things that should not have spread in the world, have always been lingering in front of his eyes, and he cannot get rid of them for a long time, but neither fast nor slow, extremely steady in the path. Walking, Laite finally felt that he had briefly and extremely rarely arrived in a place without war, as if it were a real paradise.
The golden sunflowers on both sides waved their looming down, aiming their central parts like "giant eyes of the deep sea" at the sun, trying to grab light and nutrients.
A few minutes later, looking at the end where a faint outline could be seen in the distance, Fansuo suddenly stopped, stopped where he was, looked up, and asked in a particularly "bright" tone and cute voice:
"Mr. Wright, do you know the legend about sunflowers?"
"Where?" Laite asked curiously.
"Of course it belongs to the Crusted Empire. After all, from the beginning of the Second Era to the end of the Third Era, for thousands of years, their sunflower cultivation and exports were the first in the continent. They seem to be extremely fond of this variety. I heard that even When Binglin Province was mostly occupied by the 'Lost Ones' and Binglin City was besieged by the 'Heartless People', they still retained a piece of 'clean soil' to plant them." Fansuo said, leaning down. , stretched out two fingers and pinched the rhizome slightly.
Some pure black threads gush out and quickly turn into countless particles so small that they are almost invisible to the naked eye. They quickly gather towards the fingertips and are used into the rhizome.
Immediately afterwards, a subtle "Kacha" sound came out, and a golden sunflower appeared almost completely in his hand.
However, a bit of pure white smoke, like a twisted demon, came out from the fracture that had been corroded into a mixture of burnt yellow and pitch black, emitting an almost suffocating stench mixed with the unique intoxicating fragrance of flowers. Laite felt slightly unhinged.
"Just such a flower..." Fansuo said, actually put the sunflower into his palms, rubbed it vigorously, and then swallowed it in one gulp!
Then, he turned around semi-mechanically, tilted his head, showed a cold smile, and then said in an awe-inspiring tone:
"It is a medicinal material that can swallow up 'Shang'. It can also bring people the ability to repair mental damage and treat mental illness by grabbing the light magic power in nature. Yes, the sunflowers growing in the Crusted Empire have long been It is no longer the original existence. After the baptism of the ice field airflow and the improvement of countless orthodox priests, priests and church clergy, it has become an almost sacred product. However, as the long years have passed, the sunflowers in other areas have gradually disappeared. , After all, in the steam age, we did not lack roaring factories, turbid rivers, dirty skies, and poisonous air."
"The old capital of the Ptoya Empire, 'Lidun', was hit by a 'fatal white mist' and 80% of the population died, eventually becoming a tar-covered ruin."
Fansuo said, his eyes flickered aimlessly for a few times, then he looked up at the incandescent sun again and murmured:
"In the history of Crusad there was an emperor named 'Turning Point', Novak I. He liked sunflowers very much and spent three million 'Proud Double Eagle' silver coins from the treasury to buy finished products and pavement
In Binglin City. Of course, you may think that he is fatuous, lazy and stupid. But in fact, this mutated sunflower variety has allowed people in the capital to eliminate a lot of violence. During that time, fighting, drinking, robbery and other violence
Incidents were reduced by 80%, and even after he was poisoned by Joe Leakey, the then Prime Minister of the Empire, and fell into coma, he was able to miraculously heal himself and save a life."
"So, the place we are walking through, including the sunflower in your hand...in your belly, actually has the ability to heal...the spirit?" Laite speculated.
Indeed, after being exposed to it for only half an hour, Laite not only felt that the haze shrouding his mind had dissipated a lot, but also the vague feeling of disorganization and collapse that he had when he came into contact with "Shang" and the power of the red magic source.
All were swept away.
Most of what exists in my head is a longing for the future, as well as a yearning for the "beautiful" realm of the gods.
"Of course." Fansuo's voice interrupted Laite's thinking, "This is not necessarily the effect of being close to the divine realm. 'Gods' are not as sacred as rumored, and they have also inherited many 'shadows' of the Creator.
Note, it’s ‘shadow’, not ‘evil spirit’.”
Laite nodded as if understanding, his mouth moved but he made no sound.
After a pause for a few seconds, Fansuo sighed and then said:
"It's a pity, I'm sick."
"It's normal to be sick. In this continent, it's rare not to be sick." Laite muttered secretly and continued to look like he was listening carefully.
"What I see in my eyes is naturally distorted. I cannot appreciate the neatness and regularity of majestic buildings, let alone the majesty, solemnity and grandeur of gods. In my eyes, even a perfect circle is irregular.
A combination of curves. This is not caused by filth, nor is it the product of monsters or extraordinary power. Therefore, gods cannot cure me, and sunflowers have no effect, but you are an exception, Laite." Fansuo said, pointing.
Laite's head.
"I don't understand?" Laite waved his hands, looking confused.
"It's very simple and easy to understand. This is a very superficial fact, but behind it is a mysterious and unfathomable truth. The fact is that you are not distorted in my eyes, you are a real and tangible person.
Human! Do you know? Only that time, when I was covered in blood, my arms were broken, and I was on the verge of death when I saw the 'Lord of No Domain', I felt this way for a moment. So, Laite, I can't understand your body.
No matter how extraordinary your power is, I can’t tell you what glorious future your destiny has been arranged by the Creator, but I believe that a certain era in the future is destined to belong to you, Mr. Laite Sugra."
Fansuo's tone was very exciting, as if he had seen a great hall of gods, or more like he was facing a holy object of extraordinary value.
Faced with Fansuo's almost "complimentary" tone, Laite just smiled politely. Even though he knew that [The Orderer] had an extraordinary destiny and a powerful future, at least for now, he was very weak. As long as his luck was slightly worse, he would be almost
A lost person, a bullet or a round of artillery fire could easily end his life and send him escaping into eternal darkness.
In addition to being weird, ancient, and special, his red magic source power sometimes pales in comparison to the power controlled by the traditional Lost Ones, let alone using it to fight howitzers, imperial steam planes, and steam battleships.
If you want to use the unique professional ability of [Order] to become the legendary "King Pope", you must at least reach the 3rd level: combat level to learn to copy the unique abilities of other upper-level professionals.
In other words, Laite also wants to become powerful, and also wants to break through the ranks to become a demigod, or even become a god, but his eyes cannot only look to the future, but need to live in the present.
The Crusad poet Gurji said:
"The eternal stars are a future within reach, but to leap to the stars, you must first step on solid soil."
Thinking of this, Laite's eyes suddenly revealed a sharp and determined aura.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the "Crazy Bear" pistol from his waist, loaded the bullet, and said to Fansuo:
"I think I should focus on the things in front of me now. We all encountered monsters and experienced battles in the 'Silver Moon Temple' and 'Fei Yue Arena' just now. Wait, in front of the stone gate that opens the divine realm, there must be
Fight."
"Haha." Fansuo sneered:
"It is right to be cautious, but excessive caution is poison. Aaron, Yin Na, Oliver and I are in the same team, as well as your old friend. They are all waiting for you at the altar in front. The former empire's
Order No. 58 of the Silent Arrival Campaign required Shamon and Sinais to attack the underground stronghold of the Church of the Night. However, we directly relied on powerful firepower such as howitzers, rockets, and aircraft to break through the yellow sand and head directly to the God's Domain."
"Our biggest enemy is probably fighting with the lost ones of the blood race at the moment, and there is no filth and evil here, so how can monsters be born? But..." Fansuo glanced at Laite, turned around and pointed to the end of his field of vision, and said
:
"Since you are anxious to open the stone gate of the God's Realm and see the God's Realm, I don't mind if we speed up and run forward. After all, the altar is right in front, visible to you and me."
Just as Laite clutched his pistol and pursed his lips, preparing to retort, a thunderous explosion resounded throughout the world and came from the direction pointed by Fansuo.
Then, a wave of scorching steam quickly invaded, accompanied by a dark red wind and a burning sensation, Laite looked into the distance.
A mushroom-shaped cloud mixed with thick smoke was rising from the ground.
In an instant, the thick fog receded, and an "elliptical lava" produced by the explosion, glowing with astonishing scorching energy, emitting a dazzling red light, and glowing with irregular, twisted bright texture lines, was rapidly expanding.
boom--------------!
The deafening explosion sounded again. This time, both Laite and Fansuo witnessed the "elliptical lava" expanding to the extreme. Then, as if it could not support the restless flames and suppressed energy inside, it spewed out as if swallowing all living things. flame.
Wherever the red flames passed, the grass turned into yellow scorched earth, and all the sunflowers withered, withered, and "fallen."
The originally blue sky was shrouded in red glow, and the sun that hung high above the sky and cast a soft incandescent light quickly turned into a huge red gem, helping the two explosions to dissipate stronger heat radiation.
The air wave generated by the second explosion was a richer orange-red color. Laite and Fansuo could only stay in place for less than three seconds with the power of the magic source before they were blown into the air and fell heavily to the ground.
…
It may take a few minutes, a long few years, or an era as long as an era.
Laite finally regained consciousness after the explosion. He supported the ground with his left hand and stood up unsteadily.
At some point, his heart became extremely hot again, and even a faint light could be seen under the tactical armor.
Turning his head subconsciously, Laite breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Fansuo was fine. The explosion just now stained his face with some dirt and dust, but he did not see any blood.
At this time, Fansuo stood with his mouth slightly open and his eyes wide open, looking into the distance with an expression of disbelief. After a long time, he murmured in a trembling tone:
"How...how could this happen...the sequence monster...actually...has an enemy...using an S-class sequence monster?"
Hearing this, Laite glanced forward fiercely, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he was about to ask for details...
Suddenly, a mournful roar belonging to a beast came loudly and clearly from the location where the "elliptical lava" was born!
