"I saw this statue from a distance the last time I came here. Ivan XXII is indeed an emperor accustomed to absolute authority." Lorca admired, stretching his neck and looking up at the statue.
.
"Yes." "Future" nodded and agreed:
"The tall statue represents great authority, but before entering the 'deep ruins', I think he deserves such a title. In that era of 'the glory of the double-headed eagle', whether it was a minister, a poet, or an illiterate person in the fields
The farmers will praise his greatness without hesitation in using the most noble language.
"It's just that now, he has abandoned his respect for gods and given his heart to the devil and Satan, causing a long-lasting disaster."
"Future" had a serious expression and looked around angrily at the space shrouded in white light and light green mist in the distance. The more technological the place was, the more he hated Ivan.
These technologies themselves can advance the times and even surpass the order set by the gods. But now, they are just alone together with the Krusted emperors buried here, watching human beings heading towards painful wars and watching the lost ones.
Constantly struggling between life and death.
He kicked the metal sculpture hard, leaving a scratch that was not shallow but not deep. "Future" exhaled angrily and walked towards the back of the sculpture. Parked there was a machine that the Empire spent 30% of its fiscal revenue on research and development.
The "latest" Air and Space Force fighter, the "Seriaju".
"Is this the fighter plane behind the sculpture you mentioned last time?" "Future" asked, pointing to the fighter plane model.
"Yes, I was under too much pressure from 'Shang' at that time, and it was difficult to continue to explore forward. At that time, Nahaka also told me later that once I took a few steps forward, my spirit would instantly
He was defeated and entered a state of madness." Lorca replied.
"There is no need to be afraid now. I estimate that the great Emperor Ivan XXII is a person who is adventurous enough, but also cautious enough. I don't feel the slightest bit of 'sad' here.
You see, after we came out of the tunnel and entered here, the space was closed." "Future" said, pointing behind him.
Luo Ka looked in the direction of the fingertips of "Future" and saw that the tunnels and stairs leading here had long disappeared, looking like "toys" belonging to the gods hidden under the golden light at dusk.
It slightly exudes the light of chaos that changes in five colors, but it has been covered by a thick metal door. In other words, the way they came has been completely blocked, and there is no other way for Luo Ka and "Future" to move forward.
The choice to leave here.
Although this place is surrounded by complicated technological products, in fact, the neat and uniform layout here makes you feel completely uncomfortable.
After all, all products created by humans have flaws to a greater or lesser extent, especially art, which embodies the brilliance of human imagination. However, the stronger the mechanical rules, the more contrary to human freedom, revealing the inability to
Described in words, an experience that is inconsistent with experience.
Turning around and looking at the fighter model again, "Future" and Luo Ka felt a bit of cold wind that should not appear here, and indeed belonged to the common cold wind in the extreme cold zone. But it had no source, as if it came from every space.
Infused with the connection point of the mysterious alien space, it is mixed with the "resentment" and rancid smell from the endless abyss of the underworld, and it also blends with the warm and sacred "heaven" feeling that only gods can have.
Looking up at the Black Gold Wind, a relatively small, narrow, and perfectly streamlined combat aircraft, "Future" restrained the urge to reach out and touch it, and introduced:
"Back then, during the 'Glory of the Double-Headed Eagle', Crusted's Sky Bureau could be said to be an existence beyond the gods. In the past, humans had only briefly tamed the 'Double-Winged Iguana' in the First Era and early Second Era.
, by riding on them, long-distance operations or military strikes can be achieved.
"Later, due to the gradual disappearance of the power of the dragon clan, the number of 'double-winged iguanas' that were related to them gradually decreased and even perished. It was not until the Putoyan invented the airplane that humans could survive without resorting to any magic source.
Power returns to the sky.
"Crusd's air force was the most powerful air military force in the continent at that time. During the short period of time when Crosd ruled Aventale, it only took three days for fighter planes to take off from Harift Port.
You can reach Aptis, the easternmost port city of Eventele.
"Even the Khitan people, who are famous for their comprehensive strength, have to sign a high-value purchase order with the Crusted Military Trading Department to protect themselves. After all, Crusted's aerospace force can attack the Khitans without suffering any blow.
Cast 'God's Fire' on any Lysian city."
"So, this plane?" Lorca asked, wanting to reach out and touch it, but he retracted just a second before his fingertips were about to touch.
Looking up and down at the huge model of the combat aircraft, "Future" continued to introduce:
"I learned from the scattered information of the 'Aerospace Force R&D Department' of Crusted. It is called the 'Seria Ju', and its maximum flight limit is already the ceiling of all combat aircraft. To say that it can surpass
It is a conceptual spaceship with two disks behind it.
"In order to defend against Krusted's aerospace army, Ivan XXII died... In the era before the Sleep, the Emperors of Khitanris, the 'Stabilizer', the 'Mourner' and the 'Puppet' all invested a lot of resources in the development
'Radar' and 'anti-aircraft artillery'. And with the help of the largest family in the territory, the Luo family, they have been able to mass-produce them.
"So, in order to combat this unfavorable situation and force the Khitanris people to continue to provide various resources to the Krusted Empire, including the Urem ore needed to produce the 'Fire of Punishment', Ivan XXII continued
In the early days of the war, we ordered the development of the 'Seria Chrysanthemum', which has full concealment, speed and precise attack delivery, and its name is also very interesting."
"Name? How do you understand it?" Lorca asked.
"The people of the Central Empire and some Putoya call the people of the Fire Empire Seris, and every autumn, beautiful chrysanthemums bloom near the valleys and rivers of Khitanris. It is an honor to 'go to Seris to pick a chrysanthemum.'"
It’s also a kind of romance and mystery.” “Future” laughed and said:
"Of course, it is also an irrepressible ambition for resources and territory that penetrates deep into the soul of everyone in Crusted. However, when it was a small city-state that developed near the Mamouse River in the north,
It is impossible to become one of the five empires that control the world without ambition."
"However, ambition that desires eternity will always bring disaster. Brother 'Bingren' told me never to expect eternal things. They do not exist. Once you pursue them deliberately, you will be punished by the gods.
." Luo Ka agreed and said in confusion:
"But why does this kind of punishment come to every human being who has done nothing wrong but is suffering... and the lost? I can't understand it."
"I can't understand it either, but we will get the answer soon." "Future" raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a subtle smile.
Immediately afterwards, he reached into his trousers pocket and took out a piece of paper with no signs of folding. It was still clean and tidy, with the fragrance of ink, as if it had just been taken off a manual printer, and he gave it to Luo
card show said:
"Actually, when our 'sorrow' was at its lowest level, there was no trace of writing on the front of the prophecy paper Sophia gave me. She just twisted and refined the power that belonged to the ancient gods.
, written with the power of 'Zi Min', therefore, it will change according to 'Shang'.
"But behind it is the spell to awaken Ivan 22. Back then, before choosing to sleep, Ivan 22 used the dark energy of the ancient gods about 'time stasis'. It can induce Ivan 22
The spirit of the twelfth life escapes into the bottomless void, and presses the pause button on the passage of time in the body to maintain full vitality.
"At the same time, he can continue to rely on a lot of chaotic and complex energy to continuously nourish, nourish and strengthen him, so that once he wakes up, he will become a strong existence at least level 2. So I think, from the source of energy and punishment from the gods
From the perspective of the world, now that the clock of the new era has begun to turn, Ivan XXII must be punished. Perhaps, only by defeating him can we truly get the [order] of this world in a normal way.
"
"Okay, 'Future', I'm... ready... ready to face Ivan 22 with you, even if I have to fight him. Brother 'Ice Blade' told me, Putoya
People have said, 'The only thing that scares us is fear itself.' I will not be afraid." Lorca used the most immature voice to express the most mature and profound belief.
"Ivan XXII is one of these layered iron box-like 'incubation boxes' used to maintain life in front of us... So, I am going to start reading." "Future" said
Then, he turned the paper over and began to recite in the ancient Zhne Empire language:
"The sleeping person, the confused person, the steadfast person, the person who understands the past and the future."
"The souls of the dead in the underworld, the fire of karma born by Brahma, the cry of the Lord, the lament of the gods."
"They won't disturb you, they won't bother you, they won't worry you, they won't scare you."
"The endless time that belongs to you has stopped beating long ago, and the flame of life has also frozen and burned."
"The deep realm that no one is looking at, the derailed body that no one knows about."
"The gears of destiny have turned, and the era of restart has arrived."
"I bring the red fire and the ultimate ice darkness to this place."
"Dispel the unclean power of the ancient gods and awaken you, the... great emperor of Crusted."
