Wasteland Echoer

February 4th, 557th year of the New Lunar Calendar.

"Wind Mine", who came out from the old leader "New God", feels extremely relaxed mentally. The three months of exchanges and cooperation with the empire have made him often in a trance and exhausted recently.

However, the persuasion and guidance of the "New God" in the past two days not only allowed him to find the right direction again, but also removed a huge boulder in his spiritual field, and he became a lot lighter.

Facing the slightly hot morning sun, "Wind Mine" subconsciously blocked the stinging sensation caused by the inexplicable dazzling sunlight with his hands, and walked quickly towards the entrance of Wendvoor Village along the old but clean bluestone bricks.

Fortunately, his assistant and driver, the vampire boy Mirren, has been waiting for a long time.

"Have you been waiting all day?" "Wind Mine" yawned, stretched, walked to Mirren with a smile, reached out and patted his shoulder, and asked in a soft tone.

"No, ah, to be precise, Mr. Feng Mine, I only waited for one night. Well, Gennady said, in order to ensure the harmonious development of religions within the territory, the Federal Council, considering that many people believe in Orthodox bishops, wanted to Let’s rebuild a group of churches in Binglin Province first.” Mirren said as he helped Wind Mine open the car door.

"It's really rare. It's not easy for the committee members to think about religion. I guess they were also annoyed by religious humans and organizations that used the church to cause trouble, and finally made up their minds to manage the orthodox bishops at the official level. By the way, Mirren, do you know the 'Chaos Group'?" "Wind Mine" asked.

"I have heard that it is a notorious assassination organization. During the Second and Third Era, it seemed to have assassinated many emperors of the old empire. That short-lived Mingjun defeated and killed their leader, leaving the old empire I haven't been harassed by the 'Chaos Group' for more than ten years." Mirren answered with the knowledge he gained.

"Yes." "Feng Mine" who got into the car nodded slightly, leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest and said:

"But to describe them as notorious, many people will be unhappy, especially your Aunt Leiye. That old woman occasionally dresses up as an innocent girl and likes to deliberately imitate the costumes of court girls in the old empire. Unfortunately, her temperament is nothing like that. Children cannot be imitated.

"By the way, she is also a high-level member of the 'Chaos Group'. Her position is unknown. She might be a double agent. Most of their activities are in the name of religion, claiming that the assassination of the emperor of the old empire was caused by both the Lord and Satan. Order.

"When the emperor opposed religion, they used public opinion to build momentum. When the emperor confiscated church property, they tried to set fire to the palace treasury. If the emperor put handcuffs or shackles on the patriarch of the church and imprisoned him, they would assassinate the king without hesitation and serve the church. Take it out. So, some people speculate that the 'Chaos Group' was originally a killer organization cultivated by the church, but later it got out of control."

"So, Mr. Feng Mining, the purpose of the Federation's rebuilding of the church this time is, on the one hand, to attach importance to religion at the official level, to gain support from mankind, and to reduce the influence of organizations that do not cooperate with the Federation. But on the other hand, I have a feeling that the Federal Council wants to use this to explore extraordinary things." Mirren touched his hair and analyzed.

"It makes sense." "Wind Mine" sighed and said:

"Many churches throughout the Federation store scientific research materials from the old empire, and even some projects are secretly researched there. There are also some buried 'MB' series of monsters sealed by the 'Empire Sequential Monster Management Association'. I had long heard that the Federal Council had its subordinate industrial planning group set up a secret organization to be responsible for this. I didn't expect that they would take action so soon.

"Speaking of Mirren, do you still remember that Xinfeng Town has been co-administered by our Order and the Federal Council for several years?"

"If I remember correctly, it was about three years ago. There was a rebellion here before against the federal conscription of soldiers, and it was planned by our people. After driving away the former town administrator, we briefly took over the town. In order to avoid Subsequent conflicts with the Federal Council, coupled with Mr. Thunder Page's constant mediation in the capital, led to the formation of a condominium." Mirren replied:

"I remember that the former town administrator Yulanava Mamousnoli died in childbirth. For more than a year, we have been directly in control of the town."

"Yes." "Feng Mine" nodded and said:

"But in the past few days, the appointment of the Federal Council has been sent. To my surprise, the person who replaced Yulanava was not that annoying guy Gnady, but the former federal capital security guard chief. If such a person came over, I I am afraid that Xinfeng Town will become a front line in the future.

"After the frozen soil period ends in February, the Federation will enter a large-scale turbulence period from March to May. By then, cars, tanks and armored forces will be unable to move forward. Of course, the 'unintentional people' will also get stuck in the quagmire and find it difficult to move forward. Generally speaking, this They will go dormant for a while, and when this period is over, I can’t imagine how crazy they will become when they are wrapped in hunger.”

"So, Mr. Wind Mine, do you need me to give this new commander a gift for meeting you?" Mirren suddenly said in a gloomy voice, squinting at "Wind Mine" with a dark face, waiting for him The command.

After holding his chin and thinking for several seconds, "Feng Mine" still chose to shake his head and objected:

"It's not necessary. Now that Yin Min is dead, he has a personal relationship with Vasily. Out of guilt, the Federal Council will not make things difficult for us in many matters. There is no benefit in provoking the new chief. I heard that Igor The guy escaped back, haha, he was so scared by me that he almost went crazy. He stayed in the room all day to recuperate with his friend. Why not give him a chance to perform for us and let the new commander have a taste of Fire Empire style? A great meal will leave a good first impression on others.

"Also, Mirren, take me to the Pashain Temple at the end of the ruins in the north of the town. It is probably the only building related to the orthodox bishop here. Let's conduct an on-site inspection today, and we will check the structure in two days. If Naji pulls over, if he has no objection, the matter will be settled."

"Yes, Master Feng Mine."

…

The "Kaci" car driven by Mirren drove extremely smoothly on the country roads. Before the Wasteland Era, vampires were often regarded as elite beings.

Due to their racial characteristics, they not only have beautiful appearance, noble temperament, long life, but also unparalleled memory and learning ability.

This is one of the reasons why "Wind Mine" keeps Mirren around.

The car drove for about half an hour, passed through an oak forest, and arrived at a road lined with rocks.

"Speaking of Mirren, has the path leading to the Pashain Temple been cleared?" "Wind Mine" asked, looking at the areas on both sides wrapped in a repressed atmosphere.

"It's being cleaned up, and the traffic will be smooth in the afternoon." Mirren replied:

"But do these fallen tombstones need to be cleaned up, my lord?"

"Tombstone..." "Feng Mine" looked at the cross stones scattered on the ground among the piles, and said thoughtfully:

"This was a tomb for federal soldiers a long time ago. I remember that there was a time when all the fallen [soldiers] from the entire Binglin Province would be brought here. Only a hundred or two hundred years later, this place is so deserted... I think, even if we If you don't have the ability to rebuild them, don't disturb their peace.

"Their anger and crying will make the gods angry with us. It is better to let the new commander do the things that anger the undead. Mirren, tell him about this tomorrow and see what his attitude is.

"Speaking of Mirren, do the other leaders know about the rebuilding of the church?"

"Yes." Mirren replied:

"Master Future, who just came back from the north, talked to Gennady this morning. He is probably already in the temple by now."

"'Future' is indeed a boy who can't take any time off. Even though he looks harmless, he is naturally rebellious. I don't know what he is going to do." "Feng Mine" commented angrily.

"Also, Mr. Feng Kuang, I heard that the temple is being renovated these days. Some believers from small towns have gone to worship. If there are many people, do we still want to go?" Mirren asked immediately. road.

"Of course, I like the excitement, and so does Future."

…

The "Kaci" car driven by Millen finally stopped at the end of the abandoned federal [soldier] graveyard. There were several long-arm mechanical vehicles in front of them clearing the road, making it impossible to drive through. The two of them simply got out of the car and walked there.

About twenty minutes later, the two of them stood in front of the Pashain Temple.

It is said to be a "temple", but in fact the overall layout style still follows the style of the main church. The exterior is a dim golden dome, and the walls are in the "Central Empire style", which is generally old white.

The entire temple is like a huge ship, which means that under the leadership of the helmsman, it guides the world from the turbulent sea to the quiet and peaceful harbor.

The reason why it is named "Pashain Temple" is mainly to commemorate a governor who fled from the Central Empire to the Crusted Empire in the middle of the Second Era. At that time, due to the brutal rule of Emperor Basilius I of the Central Empire at home and year-round attacks on the outside, everyone in the country was in danger and surrounding countries were in fear.

After the governor escaped, with the help of the army funded by the old empire and the blessing of the sequential god "Frost Lord", he actually went south from the "Nanshan Mountain", penetrated the defense line of the central empire, and captured its capital along the way. Constantinier captured and executed Basilius I alive, but he sacrificed everything he had, including his body and name, for his cooperation with the gods.

From then on, even though the Krusted Empire had very detailed records of this period of history, his name could no longer be found in all documents and human memories. Because he was once able to skillfully use the wind magic power, so here is his name. A church was built and named "Pashain Temple" to commemorate the righteous governor.

But after the chaos of the Wasteland Era, the outside of the church, which had not been taken care of for many years, was not only overgrown with weeds, but the trees grew crookedly, like toys abandoned by the gods. When "Feng Mine" and Mirren walked near the door to the west of the east-west church, there was an unpleasant smell of mold and dust coming from behind the open, newly installed wooden door.
