Chapter 24: The Glow of Exhausted Heart (Part 1)
January 13, 558, New Yuan calendar.
Kruzd Federation, Far Northeast, Exebuya, K-1201 Highway.
After three days off, Dark and Anthony purchased some firearms, ammunition and food in the "New Town" of Hoptov. Of course, there is also a rocket launcher that can blast the solid outer skin of most "unintentional people" and the lost.
During these three days, Dak learned a lot of information that he had not paid attention to when he was in Novayask.
First of all, the "Explosion Fishman" appeared in large numbers at the Castad Lake ruins this time, and it was not a spontaneous "wave of no-minded people", but was done by the radical faction behind it or the "Spear of Odyssey".
As a federal officer with a 5th rank in Hurricane, although the situation in the western part of the Federation is now critical and the consuls of the eastern provinces, regions and cities are ready to move, Dak still got the information he wanted from the Hoptov Strategic Group with the officer status and several new rubles with the avatar of Vasily.
After all, in the widely desolate area east of the Ice Domain River, except for the top leaders of the city committees in various places, the other administrative and strategic personnel affiliated to the federal government basically did not reach the Dark Star rank.
"Did you ask clearly?" Anthony sat in the shaking military pickup truck, enduring the blockage and bumps, waiting for the pickup truck to enter the Uenabuya Mountains with several surviving adventurers such as Dak.
"The information should be accurate, because, when fighting the 'Body Body Body Man', I felt the burning breath of blood and flames intertwined. The last time I led the 'Intention Man' to launch a 'wave' to attack our train, the loser of the blood clan - Mirren." Dark said, taking out a yellowed portrait from his arms and handed it to Anthony.
"Miren?" Anthony looked carefully at the portrait with only standard and round black lines. The blood clan carved on it did not seem to have tiger teeth as recorded in historical materials, wearing a black robe, very elegant and cold-eyed look like a sad young man.
It seems that the "unintentional human virus" offsets the inherent defects passed down by the blood clan's bloodline, making Mirren's appearance closer to a "real lost person".
"Is this a sketch based on his true appearance?" Anthony asked in disbelief.
"Of course. The person who painted me was named Teresa, a descendant of the Cruzde royal family and had Putoya blood. Her ancestors had always been court painters who painted for the old imperial royal family. Even if the empire collapsed in the late New Yuan Dynasty and her family fell. But by painting skills, she could still maintain food and clothing." Dark explained to Anthony:
"The profession of painters, the federal strategic team generally calls them "quick painters" and is one of the indispensable professions in the army. Take Teresa for example. Even if the picture you only saw at a glance, as long as she wants, it can be fully imprinted in her brain and drawn at any time.
"A week ago, shortly after the 'Bullet Body Man' attacked our train, the 'Hoptov City Defense 1 Brigade' where Teresa was located met with the 'no-minded people' who were retreating. Since the direction of their retreat was Mount Uenobuya, the 'City Defense 1 Brigade' was not qualified to get close to it without receiving the exact order, so..."
"So just a glance, Teresa remembered Mirren's appearance?" Anthony was a little surprised, his mouth half-opened unconsciously, expressing his surprise.
After all, as far as he knows, the "City Defense Series" army is basically a miscellaneous army that maintains public order in the region. Not only does it have complete standard weapons, it is mostly used to fill in lines during the war, and it also does not accept any abilities.
In other words, Theresa is just a pure human who has the ability to "not forget everything"!
Dark seemed to understand Anthony's inner guess, nodded slightly, and expressed his approval:
"The one who can serve as the 'quick painter' must be pure humans. This strategic work cannot be handed over to the psychics with emotional instability, nor to the lost people who can rebel at any time. The chief executives of the Cruisd Federation have been well aware of the administrative methods of Khitan Ris. They cannot tolerate any threatening power." Dark looked at Anthony and explained seriously:
"Indeed, Teresa only saw Mirren in the crowd two hundred meters away, and drew this sketch based on previous information. The blood clan... Before the New Yuan, it was indeed a dark existence. They could not stand the light and could only rely on sucking blood to feed. They generally have handsome faces, white skin, and a lifespan that exceeds several times more than humans."
"What is the loser of the blood clan? I have only heard some scientists in Novayask mention it before, but those scientists who don't do anything with money don't understand it." Anthony criticized with a disdainful look.
"The Sunnese people once believed that the lost people of the blood clan was a simple superposition of the 'blood tribe' and the 'losed person'. But the facts proved that the Sunnese people were too superficial, just like their crown prince Ivante and the historical emperor Kotsky." Dak tried to amplify his voice in the bumpy pickup truck:
"Facts have proved that although the loser of the blood clan has received pain from both the 'blood clan' and the 'lost', such as the desire for blood, the desire for meat and raw food, the body also always bears the pain and torture of the lost, as well as the threat of 'mutation' and 'degeneration'. But in fact, the characteristics of the loser are making up for the defects of the blood clan, and the identity of the blood clan strengthens the power of the lost."
"I still don't understand very much, it's too obscure." Anthony waved his hand.
"To put it simply, the skin of the lost people of the blood clan is no longer as pale as the wall skin. They can eat meat to replace blood and live normally in the sun. Not only that, the original blood clan could only use blood magic that is biased towards the dark system. However, after having the identity of the lost person, they also gained the sameness with any type of magic power." Anthony pointed to Mirren's portrait and said:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "Miren is a blood clan loser who can skillfully use the flame-type magic power. It is said that he can survive for at least 500 years, and his lifespan is equal to the superposition of the lifespan of the lost and the blood clan. I remember that when I was in the military camp near the "Remnants of Deep Swords", I met him."
"So, you actually know him, right?" Anthony looked down at Dark and sighed softly. Dark's identity quietly became a little mysterious in his heart. During the days of adventure with Dark, he gradually stopped being careless, and his tone was less experienced adventurers' education for "novice".
"Of course." Dark nodded:
"In fact, the dead former commander-in-chief of the campaign, Kanosk, and Yaroslav, the chief executive of Vasirisk, introduced me to him. Miren, the part of the "order association" that cooperated with the Federal Council, was the servant of the "wind mine" that had been alienated by the "chaotic group" through the "Pramini Axe".
"In a tactful way, it means that the 'Life Secretary' also serves as the 'Work Secretary'. After the 'Feng Mine' was captured by the Chaos Group, the 'Chaos Group' also resurrected the experimental product of the Sunneids under a wrong ceremony, resulting in the 'New Human' monster of 2.5 meters completely dominating them."
"What about then?" Anthony's curiosity was completely aroused. He thought that the struggle in the human camp had become quite complicated, but the struggle between the lost seemed to be more complicated, and there were many elements of mysticism and extraordinary things, which seemed more interesting.
"After that, the 'Pramini Axe' of the mutated 'Feng Mine' disappeared after the collapse of the 'Gnaji Line'. I heard that after several twists and turns, it fell into the hands of Nebrius. So I guess that Mirren came to the Far East Third District in order to pursue the 'Feng Mine'." Dak explained in an extremely serious tone:
"I speculate that the core of Khitanria is not only the key props to open the 'shaking evolution platform' and restart the 'conscious control platform', but its special function is more likely to be related to 'healing' or 'reshaping'."
"No matter what, it is very important to know that Mirren is the loser of the blood clan." Anthony patted the "Federal Eagle-New" rifle and smiled confidently:
"The 'Intentional Man Virus' will not give the blood clan the ability to resist 'silver', and the Lost cannot resist 'silver' containing the magic power. Before leaving the rest camp, I had replaced all the bullets with 'silver'. As long as he dared to appear, I would be confident that I could penetrate his head with one shot."
"Then I'm looking forward to your perfect performance, Brother Anthony. But now, let's take a nap and save your energy." Dark said yawning.
Within a minute, he fell asleep leaning against his military backpack, and his throat kept rumbled, which resonated with the sound of the pickup truck driving.
...
After a while, the familiar shaking feeling came to an abrupt end, and Dake suddenly woke up from his sleep.
Before he could fully recover, a ballad sang in his ears of familiar voices that penetrated all obstacles.
Leaning on the car window and listening carefully, what was heard with the chanting was the music played by the Khitan Ris instrument. This kind of gloomy, dark, mixed with melancholy and a little horror was very similar to the Japanese music played by Shota Hoshino for him.
Shota Hoshino?
The appearance of this Khitan Reese boy flashed in Dak's mind. This familiar style of music and voice seemed to belong to him.
However, Shota Hoshino had no reason, and he did not have the ability to come to the Uenobuya Mountains. So who is the "person" who plays and sings Japanese music?
In an instant, reason occupied every cell in Dak's body. He did not get out of the car rashly, nor did he make a sound, but listened quietly to the weird songs.
"The creature dies."
"Dongxi's Flame Dragon Emperor Falls."
"The shrine is opened."
As the last Khitan Ris chanting was finished, the music and chanting came to an abrupt end.
Chapter completed!
