Chapter 145: The Deep Sorrow (13): The Pond (Part 1)
Almost at the same time, near the entrance of the "Deep Relics of Deep Relics" B, Loka was surging with the magic power in his body, forming a stable flame close to ten times the brightness of the candlelight at his fingertips, pulling the "future" together in the dark ruins.
It is obvious that after these few days of cultivation, the "future" that was originally overdrawn when he was in Xinfeng Town and was very weak has completely restored its original vitality.
There was no fierce battle during this period, nor did I need to spend all my time avoiding wandering "unintentional people" and "alien monsters" in the wilderness, nor did I have to contact and consume my spirits between humans and the lost. I abandoned these troublesome things related to survival and death and completely relaxed my nerves and enjoyed a "stable time" that had not been encountered in decades.
Even though he knew that the "remnant relic" had many internal crises, the "sorrow" was rich in breath and the "future" with abundant spiritual power naturally didn't care about being with Loka. He came here to explore with his leader "Ice Blade".
Along the entrance, the two had been walking inward for almost fifteen minutes. Inexplicably a little tired, neither Loca nor "Future" chose to continue moving forward, but sat down on the stone wall in place and opened a printed note in his pocket.
"s.shikmiryutor yoevxi.(middle language: flames last.)" As soon as he sat down, Loka recited the only mid-language he learned from "Ice Blade".
This mysterious combination of divination and magical languages of Eastern and Western cultures is quite difficult for the people of the Western Land, especially the Cruzdes who have very little concern for culture.
On the one hand, more than half of the words in the central language originate from the ancient Chinese language of the Central Empire, and on the other hand, they are borrowed from the Mandarin of the Fire Empire. One is a special purpose for the bishops and the clergy of the regular bishops to pray to the gods. The complex "holy word" belongs to the ancestors of the Saint Rum; on the other hand, the hieroglyphs of the Fire Empire are even more difficult to learn and remember.
Even the great Confucian saints of Khitanris or the celestial master of the Taoist Divine Sect personally taught, it is difficult for the people of the Western Land to understand the slightest understanding.
However, practice has proved that if you do not consider extraordinary taboos and filth, and replace Cruz German with the central language, you will always be unexpectedly strengthened.
When Loka slowly finished reciting the Spiritual Words, the faint flame suddenly shone with a charming light and violently splashed out the sparks. In less than a second, it expanded ten times. After stabilizing, it was about the size of a fist, and the surface was covered with a square, shaped like a "lampshade" composed of blue outer flames.
After the brightness is right, "Future" spread the paper, pointing to the brand new "gun bear totem" with ink on the upper right corner, and said:
"It seems that the information that the girl sent us is correct. The Feng Mine once showed her a lot of information about prophecy, trying to confirm the potential of the [Prophet] in her body. It seems that she has memorized it all.
"But I'm really worried for her. Look, Loka, this slightly thick and very clean paper is only produced by several civilian materials factories in the Federal Iceland Province, with the machinery of the replica old empire, and is usually exclusively for the Federal Council. Moreover, the text printed by the manual printer is very clear, without ink leakage, no ghosting or crossed parts."
"What does this... mean?'The future'?" Loka approached and said curiously.
"Be careful, Loka, your flame is very strong. Don't burn this only message. My mind is not that good. I can't remember the things on it for a while." "The Future" protected the paper that was almost stained with the flames, and pushed Loka's hand to the side for a short time before continuing:
"The printed content is very clean, which means that the girl is not disturbed. Moreover, the quality of the printer is very good, at least... well... it must be a military commander in a region, or a big man above the level of deputy commander-in-chief of the campaign."
"So the 'future', is there any possibility that girl, oh, the Sophia you mentioned, has actually been controlled by the Federation, detained in a secret base, tortured, whipped it out of her skin, and was tortured by the sequel monster to death, and was in great pain, so she had to tell the Federation how to contact you, and then the Federation used this to induce us to enter here." Loka speculated:
"In fact, the soldiers of the Federation have long been ambushed on the only way to the 'first level'. Just wait for us to pass, and then arrest us, and then threaten the 'Ice Blade' and your leader with this."
"Loca." "Future" showed an embarrassing and polite smile, as if he was looking at a poor boy with a brain anemia and was about to shrink. He cast a caring look at him and asked:
"Loka, your elder brother... Does 'Ice Blade' often introduce Shaqa's funny dramas to you?"
"Drama? What does it mean?" Loka asked seriously with a pure look on his face.
"The Future" suppressed his smile and explained seriously:
"You really have the talent to arrange dramas, Loka. If you lived in the prosperous era of the Third Age, you might be a great literary and operaist. But then again, Sophia was an assassin carefully cultivated by the "Feng Mines". In front of me, he could find some opportunities to win.
"Sneaking into the human military camp... Although I can't fully understand the purpose of her doing this, it should have been her own voluntary. Yaroslav, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the battlefield of the "Artificial Lake", is a poor old man alone. Sophia may have used some means to gain his trust.
"Anyway, she will not be threatened by humans, nor will she live in humiliation. Perhaps... she is not optimistic about Vasily's 'Evolution Station' plan. In terms of stopping disaster, we lost people should be able to abandon any differences and reach an agreement."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I seem to understand a little. So, what exactly does it mean on the 'future'?" Loka asked urged.
"I can only read the first two sentences. This paragraph was deciphered from the manuscript of the Sunny people, that is, the 'Church of Hope'. These contents can only be read in each stage of entering the 'Deep Relic of Suffering'." "The Future" explained, folding the paper out a small part and continuing:
"The 'sorrow' here is different in different degrees of silt at different positions, which will inadvertently change our cognition. Different text contents can show different states under different levels of mental attenuation, and only by reading the correct position after the change at the right moment can we make the right choice.
"Once you read some content in advance and form an irrelevant memory in your brain, it will change the cognitive content and produce errors. This is one of the reasons why Sophia did not choose to enter the ruins in person, but printed the content and gave it to me.
"And, Loka, I'm going to confirm something with you. Apart from the two of us, you're sure you didn't bring Nahaka with you, right?"
"Of course not." Loka nodded vigorously:
"I... also know that there will be dangers in entering here, so I don't want to make Brother Ice Blade too sad. Although, Nahaka has been with me since I have memories, I believe that Nahaka is a "cat beast" and he can accompany "Ice Blade" until the end of the war.
"After all, I'm still looking forward to seeing Nahaka turn back into a handsome cat-eared 'orc' that we've never seen before."
"Okay, Loka. We haven't encountered danger yet, just say such sad words. I can be sure that no cats come in, and even more so, the "cat beasts" are not. We Cruzders believe that cats are the most loyal servant of Wells, the "God of the Forest" and another identity, and can communicate with psychic energy. If he is there, he will absorb more "sorrow", thus creating a "negative energy resonance" between us, accelerating our cognitive degeneration, mental decay, and cognitive disorganization." "The Future" carefully explained:
"I speculate that the last time you took Nahaka, even if you took a chance to open a 'leap array' and accidentally entered the 'real ruins of the 'deep relic' here, and the reason why you failed to go further under the oppression of 'sang' is probably because you brought him with you. I'm sure that if he is not here, we should be able to get close to 'lower below', close to the sculpture of Ivan Twenty-second, and even take away some small pieces of the technological products of the old empire to exchange resources from the Federation."
"I hope we can get close there." Loka said with some disconfidence:
"However, when I came in this time, I wanted to find Brother Greb. More than a week ago, he had a fight with Brother Ice Blade and said he would come here. After finding the "Sensation Invisibility" and inserted it into Alto's brain with other chips to revive him.
"He knew that Yato was the best person in the "Church of Hope" created by the Lost of the Shrine, and was strengthened by the "Core of Dark Drive". Greb believed that Yato's power was enough to drive away the frozen power intertwined with the "Scarring Liquid" to help the eldest brother recover his health.
"I think we'd better find him this time and follow him to find the 'perception hidden'."
"It's better to have a helper." "Future" nodded slightly to express his affirmation. Then, he read the content on the paper:
"We just entered the entrance of B, so we should follow the prompts in the first sentence. The content is:
‘The newborn dark tomb should not be afraid. The empty corridor is full of sorrow, the distant pool seems silent, and the leaping black shadows are not far away from the steam.’”
"How should I understand?" Loka asked, feeling confused.
"Let's go forward. This passage is as empty as the underground experimental site of the old empire. After this period, there should be an answer. Speaking of the violent earthquake that had just arrived, it should have also collapsed the stones at the entrance. If we don't move forward, it will be difficult for us to force ourselves to leave without being noticed by humans."
"Future" said, put the paper back into the inner pocket of the top, pulled Loka's hand and walked towards the dimmer part ahead.
From entering to now, from beginning to end, they did not notice that, just opposite the seat where they were sitting, a Federal soldier was lying on his neck with a spoiled liquor, and thick black liquid flowing out.
The soldier struggled helplessly and cried until his legs fell off and his arms rotted into soft pliers that looked like crabs, and he stopped moving completely.
