Wasteland Echoer

"Yes, Your Highness." Aaron leaned slightly, put his long hat against his chest, lowered his head and half-bowed:

"It's Pusev and Vladimirsky." Aaron repeated in a politician's standard accent.

"Let the 'Wolf of Odyssey' wait outside. After all, domesticated wolves are dogs, and the characteristic of dogs is loyalty, enough loyalty. He is an old acquaintance of the empire, not less than a few minutes. I I want to meet the blood clan leader first." The Crown Prince said coldly.

"Okay, Your Highness."

Accompanied by the "clack" of dark leather shoes and the marble floor, the closing sound of the piano's black lid, and the "squeaking" sound of the handle of the magnificent door inlaid with golden lace, etc., there was a short ensemble like music.

In front of Crown Prince Evante, besides the gentleman-looking Aaron, there was already another "gentleman" with pale skin.

"Your Highness." Vladimirski, the leader of the vampire clan, covered his left chest with his right hand, leaned his upper body forward at a forty-five degree angle, closed his eyes slightly, and saluted respectfully.

"I heard that you used to be from Crusted?" Ivant raised his head and glanced up and down at Vladimirski. Judging from his temperament, he did not belong to the same group as humans, unintentional people, and those lost people who had extraordinary contact with magic. kind.

The clothes of both of them still have some remnants of the style of the old Krusted Empire, but Vladimirski is more intense.

It's like the difference between aristocrats in the capital and country bumpkins in border towns.

"Yes, Your Highness. As you know, when the New Era began, it was actually the era when the Steam Age was just booming. Extraordinary people, magicians, and many strange races have not disappeared from the long history. Because of one time, I I accidentally fell into a deep sleep, and it wasn't until the Lord of Darkness' whisper woke me up that I looked around and realized that it was now the Wasteland Era." Vladimirski's tone was very respectful, mixed with a little sadness.

"I've heard about that incident. All in all, you betrayed the Crusted Empire. Of course, you also betrayed the Orthodox Bishop. For thousands of years, the Supreme Bishop and the Orthodox Bishop have regarded each other as heretics, and even broke out There was a fierce debate. The era when 'Human' was discovered only shook some of the foundations, but the era of sectarian reform brought both of them to destruction." Ifant's words were full of hints.

"The renaissance of culture and art has allowed the glory of the ancient Central Empire to shine on the world again. Didn't the blood of the purple-clad nobles under the red apple tree eventually belong to the Krusted Empire? Your Highness." The corners of Vladimirski's mouth rose slightly, Responded to Evante with a polite smile.

"Yes," Ivante said with emotion, stroking with one hand the piano that was specially made for the royal family of the Zine Empire and transported here via the "Zhixin-01" railway line, and stood up and said:

"Among the countries in the Western Continent, we and the Ptoya Federation believe in the High Bishop. Especially not long after the age of navigation began, during the Ptoya 'Victoria' era, which was known as the age where the sun never sets, spire churches were almost everywhere on the mainland. You can see it in every corner. As for the round church that resembles a ship, only the Crusted Empire, which believes in orthodox bishops, insists on it. It is not surprising that you have betrayed them."

"Not just because of this, but also because of a god." Vladimirski's tone was filled with fear, and a look of fear began to emanate from his red eyes.

Crown Prince Evante walked straight towards Vladimirski, with a hint of sharpness in his perfectly white face.

His eyes were fixed on Vladimisky, looking up and down.

The pure black top is similar to the style of a windbreaker. Because there is no tie, the white shirt inside forms a sharp contrast with the black.

His collar turned up, revealing an extremely bright red cloth inside, which seemed to be dyed with human blood.

"Do you want to talk to me about things other than steam? Like my teacher Aaron? Are you also a lost person?"

The Crown Prince's fatal three consecutive questions caused Vladimirski's mood to quickly evolve from the horror of recalling to the fear of power. He took a half step back and maintained the same attitude as Ivant, who has been advocating since the New Yuan Dynasty to not be susceptible to the "virus of unintentional people". "The two-meter distance of infection, said:

"In the early days when the Rurik family ruled the Crusted Empire, their capital, Binglin City, was occupied by the order of gods. At that time, humans did not classify him as a god, but a monster or a demon. In short, now The data calls him the Cursed Red Lord of Sequence 25. He is indeed a monster and has cast a curse on me. This caused the capital of the Crusted Empire to be shrouded in darkness for a long time. Until a young man came and he brought a dragon , the real dragon clan.”

"Dragon? They have been recorded in distant history. But I still think it is a combination of lizard and bat, a misplaced splicing of culture and art." Ivant retorted impatiently.

"No." Vladimirski shook his head and said:

"The dragon possesses light-type magic power. The boy brought the power of the dragon to defeat the cursed red lord, a monster with eyeballs and tentacles. Only then was I able to escape from the endless sleep of confusion, and finally woke up at the border between the two countries. I did I have betrayed the Crusted Empire and the Orthodox Bishop, but the curse is indeed the punishment I deserve, so Your Highness.”

"What do you want to explain with this?" Evante asked directly.

"Please believe in magic and extraordinary. The era of the Steam Age has become history, and there are too many things emerging in this world now. Extraordinary things, magic power, gods, monsters, steam machinery and alien beast races. Simply stand from the perspective of steam. You will be blinded. It's like being blinded by a leaf, unable to see the majestic incandescent ice field." Vladimirski's voice quickened.

"Keep going." Evante's tone was low and cold, and his left hand quietly groped for somewhere under the blue-black dress.

"Mr. Aaron and I have been to Sogra, which is now filled with the smell of extraordinary and demonic power. They tried to use the blood night ritual to lead the city into a situation shrouded in light or ice. All citizens, including the top committee officials, were trapped in 'R'lyeh's Dream'. But if it fails, millions of citizens in the imperial capital will be torn apart by the created space. The harm caused by the ritual is no less than MB-079's Fire of Punishment." Vladimis Ji advised in a hurried tone.

"I just think that old fat guy Holly is trying to launch a coup. I also know that they need to find the so-called god in Silent Highlands, the 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element'. From a steam perspective, the so-called god is just a killing machine. . The Crusted Empire is a great empire," Ivante sighed:

"They invented rocket launchers, howitzers, and all kinds of firearms. Their scientists perfectly copied the tank invented by the Putoa Federation with just a drawing and put it into the battlefield. While the knights of the Zine Empire were still enjoying the afterglow that belonged to us, The Crusted Empire has been able to carry out trinity battles through airship fighters, steel battleships and mechanized armies. The Daughter of Mecha Yuan is a product made when technology has reached its extreme development."

“Technology and extraordinary are always intertwined,” Vladimirski argued.

"You are wrong. As for the Shanlun exoskeleton technology, our scientists have spent twenty years failing to let it participate in actual combat. And at least in the records around Ivan XXIII, the Krusted Empire It has already been put into battle. According to the two documents MB-A-03 and MB-A-04 now revealed, the Girl of Tool Yuan is a humanoid machine developed by them." Ifant did not hesitate to use the Empire's "S-" level secrets to refute road.

"Your Highness..." Vladimirski opened his mouth to explain, but Evante waved his hand to signal him to shut up and said:

"Her appearance makes use of female characteristics, especially the girlish softness, in order to confuse [soldiers] who are trapped in the battlefield and unable to extricate themselves, but have wild imaginations. The energy she uses surpasses solar energy and oil, and even surpasses the legendary Yurem ore. According to data analysis, she can change forms at will, has the ability to switch between firearms and hand cannons, and can fly with jet power. But if the situation is urgent, she can transform herself into a weapon to kill the enemy together. . However, her core is a mechanical heart, the energy in which can provide the city with power that will not be exhausted for a thousand years, and can be converted into electrical energy, mechanical energy, thermal energy and all the required mechanical energy. I think this is Crewe What is left over from the Sde Empire is something that the Socra Committee group longs for." Ivante said with a proud smile on his lips.

He believed that the science and steam he admired were the only correct direction for eternity and the only development prospects for the empire and mankind after the end of the Wasteland Era.

His self-confidence depends on his absolute control over the future of the empire and the gradual restoration of order in the empire after relying on various mechanical weapons to fight against the Heartless and the Lost.

"So, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you don't believe in magic and extraordinary things at all? Are you even questioning my abilities, even the living leader of the vampire clan?" Vladimirski lost his respectful expression and turned to Said the blood clan's unique tone of thirst for blood.

"you?"

A contemptuous tone came out of Evante's mouth.

"Although I don't have the power of Prime Minister Holly, that old fat man. I was able to execute 15 Dark Star-ranked people in one go in accordance with the "Regulations on the Management of Extraordinary Things" and the "Zhene Empire Military Law" last week. General and a former Marshal of Dawn rank. But I can show you something extraordinary here."

Vladimirski, the leader of the vampire clan, almost roared in the second half of his sentence.

He took two quick steps back with light steps.

Under the "dong, dong" collision of the dark leather shoes and the marble floor, Vladimirski's eyes became like staring at the crimson moon.

His hands exuded a mist of pure black and blood red, and his mouth made a sound of "um, um" when he tried hard to break free from the restraints.

With the sound of the tearing fabric mixed with the roar of pain, a pair of cyan bat-like wings sprouted from Vladimirski's back.

They stirred up and down, causing some airflow to cause the papers in the room to fly messily.

Immediately afterwards, all his clothes were completely swallowed by the red mist, revealing a demonic and terrifying appearance that could only be revealed in oil paintings and weird legends.

His whole body has turned completely blue, not as white as Wuxin.

His eyes were red, with bright red blood remaining, and the fangs in his mouth quickly grew to a length of 30 centimeters.

The muscles of his body bulged outwards rapidly, and the nails on his hands grew wildly, like an enlarged version of the shape displayed by cats when hunting.

His muscles were stronger than those of a knight who had been trained for many years, but the exposed slender and short tail was swinging wantonly, showing off his demonic body.

Under Ivante's shocked expression, Vladimirski rushed forward quickly on the cold marble floor.

Following a trembling sound similar to an earthquake, Vladimirski's fangs pressed against Ivant's neck from behind.

Beg for collection
