"Mr. Igor, I have a question, why do you Cruzdes always mention the east when chatting. As far as I know, Khitan Ris is your name for the Fire Empire. I feel that you like Eastern culture very much." Luo Nai asked expectantly.
"Of course. The Fire Empire in the East was a great country. In the middle and late Third Age, we were allies. Since then, exchanges between the two countries have become more and more frequent. Their culture, books, music, religion and history have been introduced to Cruisd, and our brilliant industrial civilization has also spread southward at the same time." Igor said with pride in his tone:
"We need classical and mysterious culture to ease and prevent absolute rationality from leading to moral degradation and mechanical life. Of course, backward areas need steam technology to develop and enter a new era."
"I think if the 'restart era' can really come and the 'unintentional people' are all purified, I must take the train to the end of the 'big railway', cross the desert, and go to the Fire Empire for personal visits. The East, that absolutely wonderful country."
The chat between the two gradually ended with the sound of falling. When they pulled out the infusion tube and rested for a few minutes, Igor stood up and paid the doctor at the "Fengyu" clinic a medical expense of 1.25 new rubles, and took Luo Nai to the street.
After walking a few steps, Igor turned around and asked Luo Nian:
"You just came here, probably didn't book your accommodation in advance, did you?"
"No." Luo Nai shook his head.
"Then let's live in my place. The Federation is still very caring for our scientific researchers. My house is a villa, which is usually empty and has no popularity. This place will not be invaded by the 'unintentional wave' for a while, and the scenery is beautiful. Let's just come for a trip." Igor said enthusiastically:
"To be honest, fighting and learning are just the 'most important daily life' in life. Enjoying the novelty and joy of travel is the most romantic thing that is born into human beings. Our short and painful lives are not only 'unintentional people' and monsters, but also poetry and distant places."
"If you say so, I'm happy to live with Mr. Igor for a while. However, as a human, I want to go and eat something first." Luo Nai pointed at her stomach awkwardly.
"Then go to the market to buy some ingredients and treat you, the 'Machines Lord' who sent you to save me," Igor smiled.
As time gradually moved closer to dusk, a layer of burning fog appeared in the town where the snow had just stopped. Fortunately, not far from the "dark block" is the only two market in the town.
Since the town has maintained peace for a long time after the "Singdian dollar" town, the surrounding plains are suitable for farming and are rarely invaded. In addition, the application of greenhouse planting technology, even in winter, the supply of fresh ingredients in the town market has not been affected too much.
Luo Nai, who followed Igor to the market, curiously watched at every stall where he stayed. Unlike the markets he encountered in other cities and towns in the federal city, the people here were much better in their mental state, enthusiastic, hospitality, optimistic and cheerful, as if they lived in a paradise isolated from the wasteland world.
The buckets in front of the fish stall are filled with fresh fish that are constantly scattering, and clams that exude unique atmosphere. Butchers selling meat are killed and slaughtered immediately, and they are sold out. The vegetables here are particularly fresh, and the soil on them exudes a strange fragrance. Even the stall owner who sells rice and flour is very enthusiastic. He heard that Luo Nai is from the south and came here to travel, so he asked him to give him a small bag of flour.
In this way, Igor bought two bags of flour, a fish, a bundle of pork, a few potatoes, a piece of tofu, a pack of oriental-style seasonings, and some other vegetables.
After leaving the market, Luo Nai further learned that in addition to citing a few words, Igor, who loves Eastern culture, can also make many oriental dishes.
This is a rare practical skill for Crusaders who have a single diet structure and are unable to supply materials in many places.
Following the slightly lively "dark neighborhood" to the end, the two of them came to the entrance of a small building independent of the street building, which was the "villa" mentioned by Igor.
"Luo Ni, after entering the door, I will go to the kitchen to cook first. You can lie on the sofa in the first floor of the living room to rest for a while, or read a few novels written by Gulki. You know, cooking ingredients with oriental methods won't be fast." Igor said while looking for the key to open the iron fence gate.
"That's fine, I'm tired too, and I haven't had a good rest for a long time. Ha..." Luo Niang replied as he yawned and stretched.
...
Cruzd Federation, Binglin Province, Xinfeng Town, No. 1155 of "Guangming District", the secret underground stronghold of "Order Society", near the "Silhouette of the Wind".
The golden light of the sunset splashes on the streets where the mist is dissipating. From a distance, it looks like a golden ocean.
The girl wearing a heavy military green coat and felt hat was holding a small "cornflower" pistol in her pocket and quickly walked towards a less noticeable street bar.
When the door was pushed into it, the girl threw a coin worth 0.5 new rubles worth of Ivan Twenty-second, as usual, on the bar, in exchange for a bright red "drink" with a charming smell.
The girl's name is Sophia. Because she is a lost person and has a humble status, she does not have the right to use her surname. She is only thirteen years old this year, and because of her identity, she cannot enjoy any welfare and protection for the children of the "Successor Protection Ordinance" issued by the federal government.
Her father is a psychic among humans. She was previously forcibly beaten to be a loser spy and was executed by gunfire for opposing the policies of former Chief Executive "The Blazer" Viking.
Her mother is a real loser. She saw the "Red Light" in the Demon Annihilation City in the north and followed the local Lost Clan to explore south while exploring, and unfortunately died.
Fortunately, she matured very quickly after encountering this. At the age of thirteen, she had the strength of rank 5: pain, joined the "Order Society", and became the youngest assassin in it.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shaking less than half of the bright red liquid left in the cup, Sophia put away her melancholy thoughts, stared at the vortex formed for a second or two, and chose to drink it all.
After politely thanking the bar owner, she walked to the bathroom inside as usual, pushed open a door next to it, and walked towards the long and narrow passage.
About ten minutes later, Sophia stopped, slightly surged the magic source power in her body, and tapped the square crystal to the right of the iron gate in front of her.
Accompanied by the harsh metal squeal, the iron door was slowly opened, and a dark-toned hall with a very futuristic and technological sense appeared in front of her.
Walking forward slowly, Sophia looked around and felt as if she was in the vast, boundless, great, and mysterious universe.
The hall, dominated by black, is not only dim, but also has a lot of brilliance emitted by the stars, bringing a shocking sense of splendor.
She inadvertently raised her head and looked up at the sky. Among the countless stars were seven large, bright and extremely bright, and arranged in spoon-like Big Dipper.
They are so brilliant, so quiet, so gorgeous that they show the deepest greatness of the Creator.
"Are you beautiful? My little girl." The pure but serious male voice came from behind Sophia.
But she seemed to have sacrificed her soul to the vast universe for a brief period, and did not look away, but just responded softly with a pure voice:
"Beauty...of course, the universe...too vast...too mysterious. The Creator is really great, Lord Feng Mining."
The man who asked Sophia was the leader of the 7th order, "Feng Mine".
At this time, standing in the empty hall, he was wearing a black cotton cloak with sunflower patterns embroidered with golden silk thread, a very Cruzard court style, and an elegant pure white dress with a bow inside.
He has a pretty face, but it also combines the thickness and power of the Cruzdians. He has a pair of light red eyes, short black hair, a high nose bridge, and a slender figure, which is not consistent with the traditional impression.
Accompanied by the "dou" sound of leather shoes walking across the marble floor, the "Feng Mine" walked towards the round table in the middle of the hall and sat in the main position.
At this time, Sofia, immersed in the wonderful cosmic landscape, reacted and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, walked to the "wind mine", took off her felt hat, and apologized:
"I'm sorry, 'Feng Mining', I'm fascinated by it."
"It doesn't matter, Sophia." The voice of "Feng Mine" was extremely gentle, saying:
"Anyone will be fascinated by the universe and be deeply trapped in it. Some can no longer extricate themselves. Morality and the starry sky should be awesome existences that people in the world deserve to respect. Unfortunately, now some people ignore them, while others want to use them."
"I... don't understand, Lord Feng Mining, this is too profound." Sophia said in a difficult face.
"In layman's terms, the universe and starry sky should be a beauty like you, with golden hair, emerald eyes, tender and graceful face, not exaggerated figure, and a pure heart."
"To the people of the Fire Empire, for those like you, you can only stand far away and watch with your heart, and not get close to do evil things. But now, the Federal Council, which cooperates with us, is trying to restart the technology of the old empire, seize the power of the universe, and achieve his supreme rule." "Feng Mine" sighed and said:
"It's a pity that 'Yinmin' and 'Leige' have always wanted to promote cooperation between us and the Federation. I don't object to this. A more formal status will be more conducive to our future actions. But 'Yinmin' is dead."
"Sir Yinmin... is dead?" Sophia was shocked and couldn't speak, but just stood there blankly, covering her mouth with her hands, preventing her sadness from being fully exposed in front of the "Feng Mine".
"Yes, the news from the previous two days." "Feng Mine" nodded and pretended to be calm:
"The murderer is Dark Tillis, who is going to be captured by the federal government for experiments, a dangerous monster. Vasily has issued a wanted warrant for him internally. According to my information, he is likely to enter us in the past two days."
"So..." Sophia said with tears in her eyes:
"Do you want me to kill him and avenge Lord Yinmin?"
"No." Feng Mine shook his head, "The lost core has not been found yet. It may be the key to open Joigler's 'evolution platform'. Retrieving it is the top priority now."
