"But..." Sophia said in a difficult face:
"I haven't received the recognition of the sequential cards yet. Last time, Lord Yinmin had already agreed to help me, but..."
Sophia said, lowering her head, covering her green eyes with her scarred right hand, unable to suppress the pain in her heart, and sobbing softly.
Seeing the little girl who is "beloved" crying, the "wind mine" that has experienced countless tests of life and death feels uncomfortable as if he throws his heart into a mixer. He raised his head and tried his best to prevent tears from falling by watching the "artificial starry sky".
In just one week, two of the 12 leaders who held the core power of the "Order Society" had died, and one of them seemed to be inclined to betrayal.
Without a new cooperation with the Federation on the surface, the "Order Association" will soon be surrounded and suppressed by the federal army and then replaced by other groups of losers.
Moreover, "Yinmin" has fought side by side with him for fifteen years and has been joining the organization for more than twenty-five years. Whether it is the loyalty at the rational level or the friendship at the emotional level, it is already worthy of unforgettable.
But soon, his cautious rationality gained the upper hand. After clenching his fists and hitting the metal round table hard to vent his anger, he stood up and comforted Sophia:
"To be precise, death is our best destination. Sophia, you should know that as lost people, we are born with sin. After death, our spirit can be blessed by the Lord, go to heaven, and receive eternal happiness."
"So... Lord Yinmin... is he going to pursue happiness?" Sophia stopped crying and asked with a little dullness.
"That's right." "Feng Mine" endured the grief and nodded:
"All the filth in his soul will be washed, and the pain that has been tormenting the body will disappear. And soon the Federation will award him the "Medal of the Ice City Heroes" to praise his contribution to the "future peace cause."
"So, the best way to commemorate his death is not to cry or endless revenge. It is to continue the right decision he made and move forward for our common goal, understand, Sophia?"
"I don't really... understand." Sophia said honestly.
"Your future is still long. After all our generation of 'stealers' die, you will inherit our position and lead the 'order meeting' to go further. So, no matter whether you can understand it now, remember this sentence: there is no absolute white in the world, and no absolute black in the world. Everything is controlled by the thick gray fog. If you want to get the answer, you must calmly clear the fog and peek at the truth." "Feng Mine" warned seriously.
Seeing Sophia nodding in a ignorant and serious manner, "Feng Mine" sighed and temporarily sent her away.
After about fifteen minutes, seven or eight men in different clothes walked into the hall one after another. After everyone sat around the round table, "Feng Mine" quickly put away the pain just now, made a fighting smile, took off the cotton cloak, exposed the pure white dress inside, stood up and bowed deeply to the people present, and said:
"Welcome to our 'Star Meeting' of the Order Meeting'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood up in unison, as if he had already rehearsed in advance, put his right fingers together to make a guard posture and pressed it on his left chest, shouting:
"Burn out the sins of mankind, and the world belongs to the flames!"
"Burn out the sins of mankind, and the world belongs to the flames!"
The overall shouts formed an eternal echo in the empty hall. Even though everyone's throats stopped making new sounds, the ones just now still lingered in the depths of everyone's soul like ghosts.
Until, the sound of the pure and low "Feng Mine" mixed with:
"Please sit down."
After everyone sat down, "Feng Mine" left the seat instead, walked towards a black stone slab with a slightly dim light behind him, turned around, and said in a speech tone:
"Here, we have a common purpose, a common ideal, and even a common force. If we use a title passed down from the most glorious period of the old Cruzde Empire to describe us, I think the most appropriate thing is 'comrade'.
"Our 'order' is an organization with the lost as the main body. This is not wrong, but it does not mean that we exclude other races. In any case, we try to show a point of view: there is no difference between races and races. One day, regional differences will disappear, physical differences will disappear, and there is only the 'human' in the world.
"Therefore, we must persevere in pursuit of 'Pramini'. Only the brilliance of the God of Fire can cleanse all the sins in human beings, purify them, and 'destroy' them, and realize the evolution of all human beings. You must know that the lost and the semi-lost were also human beings, and were the human beings who had successfully evolved.
"And the 'unhearted people' are derivatives that failed in evolution and should not have existed. But they now occupy most corners of the world and try to inject 'some mysterious and extraordinary power' into more human bodies and assimilate them into...'monsters'."
"So, 'wind mine', your point of view is completely contrary to the strategy of our Chief Executive of the Federation Lord Vasily? Did the 'order' decide to separate from the Federation?"
The man who stood up and asked was facing the "Feng Mine" named Gnady Rurik.
Similar to "Feng Mine", the face is tender and white, but it vaguely possesses the roughness and wildness of the Cruzders. But the only difference is a scar that starts from the temple, goes over the nose and lips, and reaches the right earlobe.
Humans living in the wasteland world have more or less scars on their faces. After all, everyone has to work hard, struggle, and take risks if they want to survive normally.
At this moment, Gnagi, who stood straight, was wearing a dark green formal military uniform of Cruzd, with a "Cruzd Federal Badge" on his formal hat, and a "Federal Warrior Medal" on his chest. As the "State Research Office Chief" of the Military Institute under the Federal Strategic Corps, he, who has the royal blood of the old imperial family, prefers to mingle with the Lost.
After a few seconds of being stunned, it was obvious that even in such a dim environment, the people present could see clearly that "Feng Mine"'s face became gloomy. As the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, "Feng Mine" supported the table with both hands and retorted in a nearly hoarse voice:
"The strategy is not contrary, and the 'order will' cannot be foolish at this time to part ways with the Federation.
"Gnady, Lord Vasily's purification of 'unintentional people' is not completely opposite to our purification. I have said before that human beings cannot contact the gods because of the shackles of 'original sin', and they cannot naturally obtain higher ranks.
"Before the Wasteland Era, the 'Extraordinary People' who practiced the magic source power and contacted the mysterious 'Extraordinary People' broke the shackles of 'original sin' and were able to obtain a higher rank. But their methods either rely on talents, have strong inspiration, or obtain the orderly monster, without universality. What we must do in the end is to use the more powerful force belonging to the flame to allow human beings to make a general breakthrough and enter a new era."
"Can I understand this way?" Gnaji asked in confusion:
"On the one hand, we can follow Lord Vasily's decision to eliminate the 'unintentioned people', and on the other hand, we can promote universal evolution, thereby completely eliminating the two races and producing new humans. In this way, will the power of the lost be relatively weakened?"
"Your inference is fine." "Feng Mine" nodded and agreed:
"But universal evolution does not represent the relative weakness of the lost. It is speculated that one of the reasons for the wasteland crisis, which is often called the "Singyuan Crisis", is that hundreds of years of large-scale industrialization overdestructs nature, resulting in the rapid depletion of the magic power with it as the carrier.
"The power to maintain the world weakens, and the steam power that destroys the world is constantly increasing. After the balance is quickly broken, it will inevitably trigger a global crisis from an essential point of view. If most humans can use magic power at the same time and develop technology with a bottom line, and balance is realized, the magic power will be filled.
"For us who have higher efficiency in absorbing magic power, it is conducive to breaking to a higher order. Gnaji, I wonder if my answer is clear?"
"Of course I know." Gnaji sat down tactfully and continued to ask:
"But how to achieve this?"
"This is what I want to report to you next." "Feng Mine" said, stretching out his right hand, surging the magic power in his body.
Suddenly, a green vortex appeared between his palms, accompanied by the black stone slab hitting behind him. As the vortex disappeared, a clear picture appeared on the stone slab.
If it were in the Old Empire, this was nothing more than using projector technology, which was not uncommon.
But now, when this technology is withering and the old technology is still in its revival, it is really shocking everyone present to use magic to achieve similar effects.
With a few dry coughs, "Feng Mine" did not pay attention to the content displayed on the stone slab for the time being, but said directly:
"According to multiple intelligences and information, including the latest interpretation of "Future Epic", the gods in charge of "Pramini" are located in the south of the Demon Annihilation City, under the endless ice field of the Extreme Cold Special Zone. Behind the wind wall is an existence that is highly related to the gods, which may be a ruin, and may be trapped in some ancient creatures.
"What we need to do now is to collect the orderly monsters and try to remove the wind wall. After the core of the northern ruins is fully charged, I will lead the team to explore the north in person.
"On the one hand, we must assist Vasily to open all the "Evolution Platform of the Universal Energy". Only by leveraging the power of the sun's endless light can we completely open up the road to "Pramini". Now, the "Evolution Platform" corresponding to "Tianquan" is almost at the lost core, and another "Evolution Platform" ruin corresponding to "Tianxuan" that may be in the northern wasteland has already gained flaws.
"Everyone, do you still remember the "half-dragon man" in the deepest, hidden and unknown cell in the Old Empire Senar Prison? He had been sleeping there for nearly a thousand years, but before, the fight with "Yinmin" when the monster Dark fled from the prison seemed to stimulate him..."
