Chapter 98: The Crisis of the Base (Part 1)
On May 21, 557, the New Yuan calendar, Cruzde's Love Day.
Cruise Federation, Extreme Cold Area S, "Wild Tourist Group" base.
On the underground floor, there is still under the huge mechanical statue in the big square.
It was empty and quiet, with dim lights. Luo Nai, who was standing under the huge shadow of the statue, was not saddened as he had yesterday. Instead, he looked serious, holding the "life" emblem in both hands, closing his eyes, and silently chanting the spell for the spirit formation in his mouth.
The body gradually emits green brilliance symbolizing "life" and "nature". In the dim style, it hit Luo Ma's face, reflecting a creepy and strangeness of oriental culture, and it seems lifeless.
Fortunately, Varwaf, who was standing behind him, bit his finger in time and dripped a few drops of blood containing the magic power of the earth into the "Life" emblem, which turned the light from strangeness to bright and dazzling.
Under the dual effects of the "grass and trees" magic power with the charm of the Western Land and the "earth system" magic power with the charm of the Eastern style, the "life" emblem slowly rose into the air, as if it had fallen into an invisible, eternal vortex.
Immediately afterwards, the text on it began to blur due to the acceleration of speed. Countless Mars splashed out until a ray of two-color light jumped out of it and pierced directly into Luo Nai's eyebrows.
"Ah!" The sudden stinging pain almost made him faint, but after a brief severe pain, a trace of cold, cool, and gentle energy quickly spread from the brain to every nerve in his body.
Within a few seconds, with the rapid silence of the "Birth" emblem, Luo Nai fell back into his hand, and felt the wonderful and transparent feeling that he had not had when he was a "mechanical body" or after becoming a human being.
It is as if my own thinking becomes clearer and clearer in the process of continuous high-speed operation, and briefly enters the world belonging to the four-dimensional world from the three-dimensional space and time where humans live.
All the objects around them are no longer simple three planes, points, lines, and bodies. Even the small heraldry in his hand, its internal structure seems to have been completely turned over and presented to him.
Everything, including Valwaf in front of him, seemed to have returned to stillness in the dimension of time.
With the clearer and clearer stinging pain brought by the clearer thinking, Luo Nai actually saw countless messy, irregular, overlapping existences in front of him, like worms. He understood that this was a combination of countless times, and all of them were the entirety of the objects they represented.
Soon, as if in just a moment, the clarity and clarity quickly dissipated, and the surroundings returned to a brief, calm as before.
"I think this is the exclusive power of the 'life' heraldry." Varvav walked to Luo Nai and asked with a serious look on his face:
"What did you see just now?"
"See...what?" Luo Nai asked mechanically, who was temporarily stagnant of his thinking.
Shaking his head helplessly, Varvav grabbed Luo Ming's hand, let him hold the "life" emblem that still had afterglow, and woke Luo Ming up with force, and warned him seriously:
"Listen, the power inside the 'life' emblem may not only come from the gods. Captain Marco told me yesterday that he found a few words from a book from Khitan Ris. I didn't really want you to get in touch with its power now, and Captain Marco also means this.
"However, considering that it has been abandoned for a long time and has just been activated, it is not particularly dangerous, so it is recommended that you use it to find the feeling of breaking through the magic source order. If you are infected with extraordinary power or even evil spirits, we will be very sad, not only in terms of spirit, but also in the future development of the "Wild Tourist Group"."
"I... nothing is wrong, Valvaf." Luo Ne's expression returned to normal and said with a slight apology:
"But this herald is very important to me. As soon as I am free these days, I will think of that child, the half-lost Sayi, who died for me. This has become a heart disease for me. If it is said by the people of the Eastern Fire Empire, if it continues, it will evolve into something like the "devil living in my heart" that was produced when I was learning "Kung Fu".
"And, I remember that its initial discovery was the quiet highland of the Sunnese Empire, which was highly related to the murdered god "The Daughter of the Mechanical Yuan". I think Marco should have told you that I am the 'Master of the Mechanical Lord'... Apostle, he was a 'Mechanical Body', and the [personality] I now have was given by the 'Master of the Mechanical Yuan'."
Seeing Luo Nai's slightly sad gaze, Varwaf did not continue to rebuke, but instead held his hand and said slightly heavier:
"While I was still fully awake yesterday, Captain Marco told me that this base was about to be abandoned by us, and then we will move to a new base, and then we will build cities with other ‘independent armed forces’. This means that our more tragic and larger-scale battle with the Federation is coming.
"You are a talent, and this is something that even the Big Brother recognizes. You do not have different attitudes toward some of the ideas we uphold. In other words, you are unlikely to be our enemies in the past, present and future. In that case, we do not want you to be hurt."
"Is that true..." Luo Nai sighed slightly.
"Of course." Varvaf continued:
"I seem to remember this 'life' herald. I remember that it has the ability to communicate with gods and can give life a new and higher level of form. But the rules it follows are the culture of Khitanris, and their magical practice of the Taoist Divine Cult always emphasizes 'understanding'."
"I agree with this." Luo Ni nodded:
"Just, for a moment, I seemed to feel that I had transcended the three-dimensional space and time and entered the "Master Lord" mentioned that they entered a higher dimension than the domain where the gods in the previous order were located. This feeling is very wonderful. It seems that it will not only upgrade me to one or two orders, but also give me the ability to touch the "reason", understand the "reason", and even transform the "reason".
"Maybe this is the 'understanding' advocated by the older country southwest of the Taoist Divine Sect and the Fire Empire?"
"It still seems narrow to describe it with 'understanding'." Varwaf commented:
"Captain Marco told me that the 'understanding' proposed in the sequential card is not enough to describe the grand and indescribable. Thousands of years of history tell us that the culture of Khitan Ris is closer to the illusory, mysterious, but sufficient to arouse curiosity."
“How to understand?”
"What they think of as 'Tao' is not explicit but ubiquitous, powerless but can control everything. Your body, your spirit, your destiny and your future are all following an unpredictable established track. These may be 'half-life cats', and can only be determined by your position as an 'observer', but they will tell you that there has been a force that has occupied the absolute, undisputed position of the 'observer'." Varwaf explained:
“But unlike the atmosphere created by the old gods, the Khitanese advocate that you understand it as much as possible, ‘understand’ it, and then try to control it, and finally achieve a feeling called ‘enlightenment’.
"But from a rational point of view, if you want to achieve this state, you must first have strong magic power and extraordinary power as the basis, then go through countless wrong paths, and calmly welcome the fate of failure. After countless attempts, you will continue to learn and absorb knowledge, and eventually enter a state of integration."
"So, as long as you do this, even if you don't contact the gods, you can naturally enter the state you just now. Do you not rely on the gods' guidance?" Luo Nan opened his palm, stared at the "life" emblem in his hand, and said in confusion.
"Of course." Varwaf's answer was firm, "First, I don't recommend that you try to use the power of the 'life' heraldry again, at least before the secret of the 'evolutionary stage' is fully revealed, before you meet the person you want to see.
"Secondly, it belongs to Khitan Ris. It will cause unpredictable damage to your spirit before you fully understand their culture. Since now, our power can temporarily avoid its destruction, then you should keep it first and wait for the opportunity to open up the 'big railway' to the East."
"Dongfang?" Luo Nai murmured:
"Maybe after finding Wright Socra, I might go over, that mysterious, hopeful country."
"Our war may fail." Varvav patted Luo's shoulder and added:
"Maybe it will last for a long time, but if you move towards the most tragic ending and the ending of destruction together, I and Captain Marco hope that you can escape here and live to the end."
Before Valwaf's words could be finished, a loud roar came from the top of the main square.
The two looked up and saw a fireball emitting intense heat spread outward from there, and the light emitted almost illuminated the entire square.
Fortunately, the explosion only bombed a very small area, but it was followed by several chains. Soon, a group of people wearing black masks, with a slightly petite figure, and in cotton coats jumped from above one after another and landed in the center of the big square.
There are about twenty or thirty people.
They are basically equipped with weapons.
In addition to the common "CK-47" rifles, "Shadow" submachine guns, "Ice Shadow" rifles, "Purple Thunder" rifles, "Ice Field Tiger" single-shot rifles, and the rare "Federal Double-Headed Eagle Rifles" and "Shield Pistols", etc.
There are even larger weapons of destruction, such as the "Sunflower" bazooka. In short, the styles are different, the uses are different, and the configuration is very scattered.
Seeing Luo Nai and Valvaf, the group of people quickly approached, raised their guns and pointed them at their heads.
But the magic power and "sorrow" aura emitted in their bodies, plus their outfits and weapons, Luo Na and the others quickly understood that they belonged to the Lost Organization.
