Crusted Federation, Extreme Cold Special Zone, Area A (Old Yashuang Area), "Man-Made Lake", "Brushing Ruins" Inside, "Real Dragon Realm".
After stepping into the door leading to the next realm built by Mr. Dragon, Lorca and "Future" felt as if they had fallen into a magnificent, dreamy and secret realm.
In the process of constantly floating, falling, floating again, and falling again, the surrounding light gradually faded, alternately transforming into a dense mist of light blue and pure white.
Gradually, as if an "epoch" had passed, their feet finally stepped on solid ground again.
However, the surroundings are still foggy. Even though you can see a long red light emanating from a lighthouse above your head, which slightly dissipates the dense fog, the sky above your head is gloomy, dim, and like the world on the ground.
Drops of rain began to fall around them.
"Where is this place?" Luo Ka asked, trying to stir up the rich magic power of fire in his body to call on the "Bitter Flame Lamp" whose name he just knew, to dispel the thick fog and illuminate the way forward.
Unfortunately, the strong and oppressive power here seems to have completely suppressed or even sealed the magic power in his and "Future" bodies. After several efforts, even if he was already dizzy, those few particles escaped from the palm of his hand.
The weak flames still couldn't condense.
"No need to try." "Future" advised Luo Ka:
"The extraordinary power that belongs to [Explorer] flowing in my body tells me that this place belongs to a brand new plane. The power floating here is strong and majestic enough, but not dangerous. I speculate that once there is something related to the 'Suffering Deep Ruins'
When most of the buildings and terrain structures in the area are different, either this is a brand new plane; or we are about to touch the deepest part of the ruins."
"But the scenery here is completely different from the scenery I saw when I entered the core area. Those technologically-rich buildings related to Ivan 22 did not appear. Instead, this place is more like the Kremlin before the Wasteland Era.
An ordinary village in Rust." Lorca looked around, observing the "world" after the thick fog gradually began to dissipate, and then speculated about the "future":
"So, is this a real alien plane? I remember that the location where Mr. Long was just now belonged to the 'half' alien plane. Could it be said that this place belongs to the 'complete' alien plane?
"
"Maybe, but..." "Future" held his chin, ignoring the impact of the "rain" that could not wet his clothes but could cause pain, and observed the surrounding environment.
Indeed, the sky here is very gloomy and gray, as if it is shrouded by ancient mysterious and huge creatures. The raindrops fall vertically, like the cry of ancient creatures.
Even though "Future" has now awakened the [Explorer] profession, most of the information about professions and magic in the past few eras has been lost. In addition, there is no way to leave here for the time being. The only remaining and newly promoted abilities make him like
My eyes were blinded by gauze, and I was completely unable to judge the correct direction to leave this place.
Fortunately, bright and violent lightning struck directly in front of the two of them, and the shower stopped abruptly for a short time, completely dispelling the surrounding fog, and allowing "Future" to gain insight into this seemingly boundless "world".
environment.
They were at the junction of an open field and grassland. Behind them was the increasingly bleak and boundless forest, in front of them was a vast but clearly defined field, and at the end of the grassland a little further away was a shimmering lake, as if
Connected with the gloomy sky.
In front of him was a simple, plain brick and stone road, the edges of which were occupied by unknown short plants. Looking up, the road led to the inexplicably familiar rotating "Putoa characteristic windmill", and the two subsequent ones.
Hanging alone in the middle of the farmland, without any background, it looks extremely incongruous, a two-story Cruzde style country house.
Just as "Future" was about to lift its legs and move forward along the masonry road, several sonic booms like the painful wails of giant demons were heard from deep in the sky.
The fierce howling wind passed by, bringing with it the sound of a whistle calling for the soul.
"Don't move yet, 'Future'." Luo Ka, who remained relatively sober, said vigilantly:
"It's strange enough here. I think it's better to take a look at the 'prophecy' paper Sophia gave you first. I can feel that even if the energy here is biased towards a positive impact on the spirit, there is still an indelible 'sad', which is enough
influence us.
"If there is no deviation between the predicted path and the area we are moving forward, the prediction will still give us hints."
"That's right." "Future" reached into the inner pocket of his jacket, took out a piece of paper that was still new and exceptionally clean, found the corresponding paragraph, and read aloud:
"The false truth no longer reappears, the true falsehood has already emerged. The ups and downs of life have no body, and the paradise of the floating world is worthy of consideration. Eternal vanity may not be painful, and the ending truth is close at hand."
"This text... is a bit... difficult to understand." Luo Ka rubbed the back of his head and said in confusion.
"I feel,..." "Future" paused for a few seconds, put the "Prophecy" paper back into his trousers pocket again, and deduced:
"We are not far from your original goal, to get back one of the 'limited' devices, which is the 'perception concealment'. The plane here is likely to connect the 'central quasi-core area' and the 'core'
area'."
"'Passage'?" Luo Ka asked, his blue eyes as wide as the cloudless sky, looking towards the "future".
"That's right. In the past few times, that is, when the human army was completely stationed around the 'Brudging Ruins' and the 'Man-made Lake', didn't you also try to break into the more central and lower areas of the 'Ruins'? The result was
What?" "Future" paused for a few seconds and then said:
"You can't find any direct path to the bottom at all. Not just you, I've asked, but the human superpowers from Kanosk and the people from the 'Chaos Group' have not been able to successfully enter deeper. If
If it weren't for Naharka, the cat with spiritual power, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have a chance to take a peek at the scientific relics left by Ivan XXII, even once."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well, that's true. The perimeter here is not complicated, but no matter whether it is using magic power or cannonballs, it is impossible to directly blast through the possible walls, or use drills
Go down into deeper realms." Luo Ka nodded and said:
"The walls of the space here seem to be made of a material that is stronger than Stun's. Even if the 'Ice Blade' brother and the others succeed in blasting some roads downwards, they will still encounter extremely strong metal that is rich in 'sadness'.
.”
"That's right." "Future" continued:
"I suspect that Ivan XXII built this place into a winding, impregnable and mysterious 'fortress' for some ulterior secret that affects the world. On the one hand, it is impossible to protect him.
Scientific research and secrets, on the other hand, protect his body.
"In the late third era, in the official historical data repository of Krusted, in Choigrad, which may have been devastated by now, I once found a book called "Report Prepared Before and After the Death of Ivan XXII".
It is clearly mentioned in it:
"All official institutions of the Krusted Empire, including but not limited to the Zine Imperial Council, the Capital Ruling Group, the Imperial Strategic Group, and other departments at all levels must ensure that the late Emperor's body is not damaged and that other
Contact with the outside world.
"During the entire funeral process, except for the Orthodox Patriarch Orinov, who was known as the 'New Mechanical Apostle', the emperor's face was covered by the Krusted flag, and no one was allowed to look at his face.
"In fact, with the support of several different pieces of information, I have reached a conclusion that I haven't had time to check with Feng Kuang."
"What is it?" Lorca asked curiously.
"From the moment Ivan XXII was declared dead, his body was put into a coffin made with special technology and never had contact with the outside world. At the same time, including Ivanov Khatrevsky at that time
Several scientific groups created evaporated at the same time, as if following their great emperor into heaven.
"But in fact, combined with the fact that the last piece of 'weapon-limited' equipment could be stolen and brought here, this has long made me reasonably doubt that, in fact, Ivan 22 is not dead, and the New Yuan crisis, even
The emergence of us lost people is indelibly linked to him."
"So, what is the 'truth' in the prophecy just now?" Luo Ka felt a chill running down his spine, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable excitement in the deepest part of his emotions.
And "Future" followed closely with a smile that was mixed with bitterness and determination, confirming his conjecture:
"That's right. This 'truth' may not only include the whereabouts of the 'sensory hidden', but also the 'truth' that is crucial to all humans and the lost, that is, the ultimate secret of the formation of the wasteland world.
.
"Humans, in order to survive, do not have the extra energy to look for these things. And we lost ones are trapped in the quagmire of war and pain and cannot take time out. But now, it seems that the creator and gods have finally awakened, and no longer want the silent world to continue.
Now, they decided that the gear that drives destiny begins to turn in a direction that breaks through reincarnation and is no longer confused."
"So, 'Future'. The first few predictions seem to be in the philosophical style of Khitanris..." Before Lorca could finish speaking, he was interrupted by "Future":
"So, do you want to try to understand these obscure and sophisticated words?"
Lorca shook his head in denial.
"That's good." "Future" smiled and said:
"I suddenly remembered that this is the Dragon Realm that I discovered through my consciousness. This is an artificially created passage similar to the 'Jump Array', and it is the 'Dragon Realm' with the aura of Khitan Reese. Use
According to Ivan XXII, they may have built a wormhole in the core area of the 'relic' and another in the central quasi-core area. The two are connected through higher-dimensional excavation, forming the only possible
The right path to go deep into it smoothly.
"So, the 'Shang' here is very weak, but why they chose to connect to the 'Dragon Realm' during the excavation, I don't know."
"Future" took Luo Ka's hand that was covered with scars and calluses that was extremely inconsistent with his childish face, and continued:
"The wasteland world does not value talent, nor does it value birth and understanding. Even if you have genius-like intelligence and magic, from the moment you become conscious, you will continue to participate in wars until death comes. No one
Those 'geniuses' will be given enough time to cultivate, and survival is the only goal.
"What this world values is persistence, finding hope from pain, until the long night is driven away by the goddess of light. Lorca, I seem to understand that except for those who persist enough until hope comes, none of us are worthy of going."
envious.
"If the prophecy is accurate, then the ray of dawn that pierces the long night is about to come."
After saying that, "Future" took Luo Ka, stepped over the ugly, constantly twitching twisted low plants, and walked along the simple, simple brick road towards the country villa that was not in harmony with the environment.
