Chapter 183: Deep Sorrow (51): The Last Commission (Part 1)
After breaking away from "Easelira" "constructed" by "Thunder Page", the [prophet], he forcibly suppressed the demonic power due to exhaustion and staying in the "spiritual realm" for too long.
Feeling slightly dizzy due to excessive consumption, "Future" rushed straight to "Ice Blade"'s hidden residence in "New Camp" without stopping.
Before entering the outdoor garden of the three-story Putua-style building in front of him, "Future" happened to see Lorca who came with Victor. He briefly exchanged a few words to confirm that Lorca's spirit was not up.
After being overly contaminated, his consciousness was relatively clear, most of his magic source power had been replenished, and his body was in good condition, he returned to the "Thunder Page" car and ate the food handed over by the woman, which was labeled "New Federal Food Production Factory"
The military biscuits with the logo are used to relieve hunger while waiting for Loka to come out.
Luo Ka, on the other hand, quickly walked through the courtyard covered with withered leaves and snow, accompanied by "Pojun" Victor behind him, and rang the improvised simple doorbell.
Ring ring ring ring—ring ring ring ring—
After a quick and clear sound, the heavy steel door was opened, and two young lost people who had "understood the religion" walked in.
After bowing to Victor and Lorca, one of them introduced himself in particularly fluent Crusted Imperial dialect:
"Mr. Pojun, I am Soaring from the Comprehension Sect. You can call me Mozhente. The one next to me is Audrey. Like me, he is from the Comprehension Sect.
Members. As you know, after the death of 'Yan Xi' in the battle, the high priest 'Xian leader' was still unwilling to come forward to lead our 'Comprehension Cult'. Now, we, the lost ones who survived the 'Howl of Amykes',
They will completely obey the orders of the 'Chaos Group'."
"Let me tell you, no wonder I saw two strangers' faces. Thank you for introducing yourselves first, otherwise I would have had to ask for a long time." Victor nodded with a smile and asked:
"So, you are now the guards of the 'Ice Blade'?"
"It's a bodyguard." Audrey, standing next to Soaring, explained:
"We are now responsible for the safety of the leader of the Ice Blade until his successor Lorca arrives."
"Wait for... me?" Lorca asked curiously, looking up at Audrey.
This young man who is a member of the "Comprehension Sect" and is currently serving as the bodyguard of his "Bing Blade" brother is only 1.6 meters tall, with a thin body, a thin face, clean and fair face, and a sense of feminine fragility, as if a slight air current is blowing.
If it goes too far, the body will fall apart and become like pieces of unrelated flesh.
"You are Luo Ka, right?" Soaring took half a step forward and asked.
"Well, that's right. That..."Is the Ice Blade" brother inside? How is he doing now?" Luo Ka nodded first, then asked in a hurried tone.
But neither "Soaring" nor Audrey, the two bodyguards belonging to the "Comprehension Sect", responded directly. Instead, they looked at each other, with complex and solemn expressions flashing across their faces.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then "Soar" spoke, looked at Victor and said:
"Mr. Pojun, the order from the leader of 'Bingren' is that Luo Ka must stay in this foreign-style building until 7:30 in the evening, when the sun's rays can no longer shine on the earth. Moreover, there is and can only be
He alone enters."
"Um... you are sure you can protect Luo Ka's safety, right?" Looking at the two lost people who were not very strong and were pitifully thin, Victor still felt uneasy and asked again and again.
"Mr. Pojun, please have confidence in us. Although Audrey and I are only at Sequence 5: Pain Level, you know that members of the 'Comprehension Sect' will never rely solely on a single force to fight." "Soar"
With a slightly cold expression he said:
"As long as the high priest's scepter is not lost, and the 'Genanyongling' we secretly guard in the extreme cold zone is not destroyed, the three 'supreme beings' can maintain the 'Guangshu' ceremony and give us extraordinary power.
"The level of our magic source power is usually 1 to 2 levels higher than what it appears on the surface, unless we are deep in extreme cold, extreme darkness, extreme fire, and the realm of gods. The Khitanese once said: 'Judge by appearance
A person's strength is usually deceived and leads to the abyss.'"
After saying "Soar", he flipped up the sleeves of the cotton-padded coat that looked very wide and heavy on his body and could almost "crush" his body. After checking the time, he continued:
"Our conversation has already consumed fifteen minutes of the time between Luo Ka and the leader of Ice Blade. Mr. Po Jun, please don't delay important things."
"walk slowly."
…
Walking into the very dark room, Soaring and Audrey did not let Luo Ka linger on the first floor. They walked to the middle of the floor and opened up a very hidden and heavy cement cover, one after another.
, took Luo Ka into a low "tunnel" that could only accommodate one person.
After walking for almost fifteen minutes in almost absolute darkness and a depressing atmosphere, Soaring stopped at the end of the "tunnel" and fumbled to open the wooden cover above his head. The two of them worked together to pull Luo into one place.
In a nearly closed room.
"Lorca, please wait a moment. Since the last battle of the 'Ice Blade' leader, the power of the 'Ice Blue Bone Blade' has backfired on his body, causing the 'burning liquid' in the body to conflict with the 'ice cold' and continue to be consumed.
At the same time, it damages the body. So now, the leader's legs have been completely destroyed and he is unable to move. We need to push him here from the next door." "Soaring" said, bowing slightly to Luo Ka.
Then, without waiting for Luo Ka to say anything, the two quickly opened the dark red metal door and left.
While waiting, Luo Ka looked around and discovered that the room was actually not too big. It was similar to an ordinary storage warehouse, but it was extremely dark. Apart from two unlit gas lamps on the wall, the only light source was the narrow skylight above the head.
.
"Probably for safety reasons, this place... doesn't look like a place for people to live, but more like... a transfer station between rooms." Luo Ka secretly analyzed.
After all, except for an "artificial lake" battlefield situation analysis diagram hanging on the wall and a floor-to-ceiling mirror close to the wall, there was nothing else in the room.
But this time, Soaring and Audry did not keep Lorca waiting for too long. Less than five minutes later, Lorca heard a cough from a familiar voice.
"Brother 'Ice Blade'! Brother 'Ice Blade'!"
Even though he had envisioned the scene of the reunion several times and made mental preparations, when he saw the sickly "Ice Blade" sitting in a wheelchair, Luo Ka still swooped up and fell into the arms of "Ice Blade".
, crying heartily:
"Brother 'Bingren', I thought I would never see you again... Wuwuwu... I thought I would never see you again... Wuwuwu..."
"Ice Blade", who originally wanted to scold Luo Ka for leaving privately, felt distressed when he saw Luo Ka, who was exhausted, with tears everywhere in his clothes, and various small wounds on his face and body.
"It's okay, it's okay." He stroked Luo Ka's soft, dull blond hair and kept comforting her.
Ever since his body was weakened by the energy backlash from the "Ice Blue Bone Blade", the emotions that were originally sealed due to his identity as a lost person and became indifferent, like the grass and trees in spring, began to slowly recover.
"Ice Blade" knows that this is because the "burning liquid" in the body gradually decreases and the magic source power becomes thinner.
Like the "Heartless Man", for the lost, "Burning Liquid" is not only a part of the blood in their bodies, transporting energy and nutrients to the whole body, but it is also the best carrier of the "Heartless Man" virus.
The "burning liquid" gradually disappears, and for the lost person, the human part will become more obvious, and the eroded consciousness and emotions will revive.
However, this also means that the foundation that supports their bodies, or their powerful power, is collapsing. The less "burning fluid" and magic power in the "Ice Blade", the further away this semi-mechanical body belonging to the Lost One is from collapse.
further.
However, for the lost, they are not afraid of death.
After all, these lost people between "unintentional people" and "human beings" were lucky enough to escape from countless deaths and were born in blood and fire.
After driving away the two bodyguards of the "Comprehension Sect", "Ice Blade" hugged Luo Ka and let him cry for a while, then said in a hoarse yet thick voice with sternness and care:
"Okay, Lorca. Now that you can come back, there is nothing worth crying about."
Hearing "Ice Blade"'s relief, Luo Ka slowly stopped sobbing.
After the experience of "The Ruins of Bitterness", not only has his body grown and matured a lot, but Luo Ka's heart has also become stronger and firmer.
After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, taking a few deep breaths, and calming down, Luo Ka half-crouched in front of the "Ice Blade", took out the last chip formed by the "Device Limit" series device from his arms, and said:
"Brother 'Ice Blade', I carried you out of the camp and went to the 'Brudging Ruins' just to find the 'Perceptual Hidden' that was stolen by the 'half-dragon'.
"It's just a pity that although I successfully found it and used its power, Ivan 22 is really powerful. During the battle, the 'Perception Concealment' was still destroyed, leaving only this chip.
But brother, this is the last one we are missing. With it, the situation on the battlefield will be deflected towards us, the Lost Ones, right?"
"You've done a great job." "Ice Blade" smiled, took the "Perception Concealment" chip from Luo Ka's hand, stroked his cheek, and said:
"In fact, since the beginning of the series of the 'Machine Master' and the 'Machine Master' creating the 'Device Limit', the fate of these twelve devices has been preset. Since the remaining ones after the device is destroyed,
The chip can activate more powerful weapons. The 'mental control console' that was buried under the ice and snow wasteland together with the old empire experimental site, then what will exist in the end will not be a 'device', but a'
chip'.
"To put it more clearly, no matter how important the 'Limit' devices are, their fate is bound to be destroyed. Just like me, Lorca."
Luo Ka raised his head, using his light blue eyes that emitted a faint light in the dim environment, suppressing the sadness in his heart, his tone was slightly urgent, and he tried his best to comfort:
"The 'Device Limit' device will be destroyed. Brother 'Bingren', you will be fine. After the war here is over, we can go to the north and listen to 'Future' say that Magic Annihilation City has developed independently for nearly a thousand years and should be preserved.
There are many sequential monsters discovered in the Steam Age, as well as books and props about magic power from earlier eras. They will definitely be able to heal your wounds, big brother.
"No matter what happens, I can find a way to sneak into the military camp controlled by the Federal Council, find Dak, and work with them to break through the wind wall in the 'Beslunai' area, and go under the ice to find the 'Echoer' and 'Pula'
Mini'. I am willing to dedicate myself to the fire in exchange for the blessing of the fire of the gods to my elder brother."
Snapped!
A slap hit Luo Ka hard on the face. Caught off guard, Luo Ka was shaken by the force of the "ice blade" and rolled backwards several times before breaking out of the daze and shock.
Luo Ka did not blame the "Ice Blade" or refute the slap. He just endured the buzzing in his ears, the dizziness in his brain, and the burning pain on his face, and patted the dust off his clothes.
He walked back to his original position, squatted down again, and looked up at the "Ice Blade" again.
Seeing this scene, "Ice Blade" just smiled bitterly, patted Luo Ka's back gently, and sighed:
"The 'Shang' in 'The Ruins of Bitterness' has indeed made you grow up a lot, Luo Ka, but you are still far away from maturity. If you say that, as my younger brother, my subordinates accept my instructions like machines.
If I am ordered to do something, or to protect my safety at all costs, then this mentality, awareness and level are enough.
"However, the development of the situation has already gone beyond your expectations. What you should have now is not the ability to become a 'general', but a 'marshal'."
"What...mean?" Luo Ka asked, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"'Chaos Group', after my death, you will be in charge." "Ice Blade" said one word at a time, with a very stern tone and extremely clear enunciation.
"Ice Blade" did not give Luo Ka any chance to refute or decline. Before he could react, he further explained:
"From the moment I took you in in the wilderness, I had the plan to train you to be a successor. You are very good. If it were peacetime, your achievements would not be lower than those of any of the old Crusted Empire.
General.
"You are just a semi-lost person. Your magic source power at that time was only level 6, but you were able to rely on stealing and deceiving in such a harsh and complex environment in the extreme cold zone to wander between human beings, independent armed forces and us lost people.
.
"You are very brave. This time you have the courage to go to the 'Ku Shen Ruins' alone. This is a good proof. And you are smart, flexible and tenacious enough. Before you, there are a total of thirteen seniors of our 'Chaos Group' and Yi
Out of the twenty-two who fought, you were the only one who survived and successfully assassinated him.
"I sometimes get confused, thinking about whether humans have past lives. Luoka, you were obviously born in an environment full of fraud, plunder and killing, but after following me, without any guidance or education, not only did you treat me and
The 'Chaos Group' is completely loyal and has even completely abandoned their previous despicable behavior.
"Now you are more like a powerful, humble, courageous and persevering...Knight Crusted, who holds a giant sword and exudes the aura of justice."
