Chapter 51 Nightmare Card: Prayer
"Is this a sequence of cards? Is there anything special about it? Or is it just a certificate to collect...uh...exchange goods? Or...options?" Dake asked with confusion.
"Hahaha..." "The Future" laughed rare:
"I would rather be a piece of waste paper. Unfortunately, it is not the option to deceive people by Putoya bankers or investors. It is also a real sequential monster, but it is a C-level, 'No. 1306' belonging to the MB sequence, called 'Night Card: Pray'.
"I have not found its usefulness in many materials for the time being, but it is said that it was made by a dragon clan who had traveled to the old empire. According to the prophecy, "Twelve cards engraved with the power of the dark night are collected, and the dragon clan's flames will burn, and they will see the gods when they are neither day nor night."
"Of course, it may not have too much extraordinary power on the surface, but at the federal high-level, there are many collectors willing to buy it at a high price."
"So, can we understand this way? This single sequential card is equivalent to filling in a high-priced check? If so, Wolfya, I think we can promise him that for the time being, the 'future' is not an enemy for the time being." Dark took the "Nightmare Card: Prayer" and turned to look at Wolfya.
"Ofya affirmed:
"We are going to the north soon, so we must prepare a wave of supplies. It is the time to get short of money. As long as the price is right, I don't think it's difficult to find a buyer."
"But Wolfya." Dak said, staring at the sequence card in his hand:
"Last time when 'Thunder Page' helped me divine, I only saw the card of 'Chaos'. This 'Prayer' pattern... Compared to 'Chaos', it seems to be a completely different style."
As he said that, Dark put the card with the "Prayer" in front of him and observed it carefully.
Suddenly, the chaotic, distortion and trance that remained in the ritual just now disappeared quickly. Under the influence of the cards containing the power of the Creator, his breathing also quickly stabilized. The negative emotions in his brain that had been complicated were suppressed a little, and even the tiny whistle that had been lingering in his ears during the battle just now fell silent.
The two sides of this sequence card are still in dark style, and there are still countless tentacles spreading outward around the green eyeballs on the back.
The expression conveyed by the eyeball seemed to look down at the mortal world from a high place, closer, and looking up at the universe. When Dak turned the sequence card to the front, he felt his heart was as calm as water, staring at the pictures, and felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and holiness.
"Prayer" belongs to the pure existence in the kind sequence group second only to "love". The corresponding upper profession is [Prayer]. In historical records, most of these professions are women and need to keep a half-clean heart at all times.
They usually need to pass on the prayers of specific human beings to the gods, receive revelation or guidance, and are different from communicating with evil gods. Even if they are not their followers, the [Prayer] can still find ways to get help from the "good" gods.
Therefore, their rank will be faster and easier to improve. In the first and second epochs, they are usually regarded as "saints" or "sons of God" who communicate with God.
Shaking his head and throwing away the information about [Prayer] I read in my mind. Dark looked at the pattern. At the top was the information about the entire card, "6: Prayer", the point below is the spelling of the middle language, which is "kitor", and further down, is the whole small painting with light as the tone.
The sacred sun is hidden in a glorious world, from top to bottom, from left to right, the world is shrouded in a dreamy incandescent. In the center of the picture, there is a "saint" wearing a "grass crown" and a white robe. She is kneeling on her knees, folding her hands together, and bowing her head and praying devoutly to a god who is vaguely visible in the distance.
Behind her was a long sword covered with blood, a broken shield, an upside down skeleton and a withered tree trunk. The edge of the picture was half of the palm of the god, wearing a pitch-black half-finger cover, and the gems inlaid on the cuffs emitted a deep purple light.
"The holy man seems to be praying to the God of the Night. The message sent by the card is really ironic." Dark complained, putting the card into his pocket.
"So, 'future', do you have any special requirements to pick up that 'eternal cold heart'? Or, is there any mechanism or magic ban?" Dake finally confirmed.
"No." "Future" replied affirmatively:
"The ritual just now has destroyed the magic circle attached to it. Moreover, now we need to pick it up vertically. As long as we don't walk around, it is impossible to touch the mechanism of the old empire. However, the person who picks up needs to keep the output of water or dark magic power throughout the whole process, otherwise permanent physical damage will be caused by ice."
"That's easy, Dak, let me go!" Wolfya said, picking Dak up and jumped straight into the pit.
With not much magic source power remaining in his body surging, Dake found that after picking up the "Yonghan Heart", except for the feeling of a little cold on his hands, there was no other discomfort.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a low roar from Wolfya, he suddenly jumped up with all his strength, holding Dak and jumping out of the deep pit again. Under the instructions of "Future", Dak stuffed the "Eternal Cold Heart" the size of a palm, like an ordinary gem, into the abdomen of the "melting body".
"In this way, my purpose here has been achieved. Dak, Wolfya, the fate of ice and flame is far from over, and we will meet again soon." "The Future" said in a calm and sad voice of a young man, manipulating the "melting body" of the beast, barely squeezed out a friendly smile.
Then, he turned around and trotted all the way and disappeared into the seemingly endless abandoned building complex ahead.
"Let's go too, Dark. At least we haven't been able to take too much time here today. We can rest for a few days after we arrive in Xinfeng Town. I don't think the cold weather will last long. Soon, the sun in early spring will melt the ice and snow in most parts of the Federation. When the pulp period arrives, it will be troublesome to go on the road." Wolfya said, sighing lightly, picking up the "violet" rocket launcher, and pulling Dark toward the dilapidated "Beidou District".
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The winter sun has already hung directly above the world. After half a day of fighting, Dake felt sore and extremely tired.
He was exhausted during the battle and ceremony and felt a headache. After relying on the back seat of the "Rock Card" chariot, he collapsed in his body and thought for a while, he chose to open his military backpack and find the "Binglin Province Military Map" produced by the "Federal First Military Factory". He circled it with red pencils in this vast blank area, and marked the word "Beidou" in Cruise German.
After doing all this, he suddenly felt extremely relaxed. Under the invasion of sleepiness, he gradually fell asleep.
The warm light brought by the incandescent sun outside the car window shone on Dake's arm. What he didn't know was that a trace of power from the "Eternal Cold Heart" just now had penetrated into his body.
Under the brief collision of the two forces of Bing and Yang, a small piece of light blue, regular, simple drawing rich in geometric beauty formed on his arm.
Its content is basically a burning torch, but the top is not a flame, but a rippling eyeball.
...
Cruzd Federation, Binglin Province, Northern Mamous District, Xinfeng Town East, Wendvour Village.
"Feng Mine" holding a teacup was looking at the Western Continental fireplace with its eyes out of focus. It was not until the burning pain in his hand that he let go in panic and knocked over the cup, causing the tea to spill all over the floor.
"The culture of Khitan Ries emphasizes inner training. This training is not as simple as being strong, but a kind of calmness in the face of danger. It is obvious that 'Feng Mining', now you lack this." The "New God" who spoke took away the porcelain teapot with a very oriental charm and put it aside.
At the same time, the magic power in the body surged out a dark blue flame. After sweeping across the table and floor like a snake, it merged with the tea, boiling and disappeared.
The "Feng Mine" who is also in charge is not interested in tricks like the old leader to use magic power, but instead asked:
"Don't be surprised when things change, will your heart be calm?"
"Yes, but not enough." "The New God" said half-affirm and half-negative:
"Don't get angry when encountering danger, and always staying rational and sober. What's more important is the ability to choose the right path in danger and confidence in the future."
"Confidence? Perhaps this is exactly what I lack." "Feng Mine" sighed and said:
"On the surface faith can deceive subordinates, allies, and even enemies, but it cannot deceive myself. I do not know whether we can find the evil god "Echoer" and whether we can contact the gods behind "Pramini".
"I am not sure now whether I should continue to maintain this dangerous cooperation with the Federal Council. Although there is no evidence that 'Yinmin' and 'Tianwen' were directly or indirectly instructed by Vasily, I have a premonition that if we continue to take the same train with the Commission, the next one to die will be me."
"Actually." "New God" said in a gentle tone, while continuing to pour water for the "Feng Mining" teacup. "Cooperation does not mean loyalty. We are not subordinates of the committee, so there is naturally no need to put ourselves in a dangerous situation every time."
"Finally, cooperation is for the sake of profit. So, what is the original purpose of "Yinmin"?"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the water flow, "Feng Mine" thought for a little and replied:
“Let the Federation accept the lost people of our 'order society' and legalize the gray organization.
"Yes, the purpose of 'Yinmin' is more to implement the concept of 'harmonious coexistence of all races and to eliminate differences and discrimination'. However, from the beginning of cooperation, the Federal Council has not given us the intention of formal recognition. Perhaps, I should pay more attention to ourselves."
"Sometimes selfishness is not a derogatory term, but a self-protection act." "New God" put down the teapot and nodded.
"So, while maintaining cooperation with them, we should strive for our own interests more than return to a completely hostile state. I should no longer seek to eliminate or transform humanity, nor should I expect the committee to keep its promises." After a few seconds of silence, the "Feng Mine" said firmly:
"I should find the gods behind the evil gods 'Echoer' and 'Plamini', and rely on them to advance to our order, so that absolute power can bring absolute voice."
"Yes." The "New God" showed a gratified smile on his face, "You know, in the wasteland world, the ending of the ideal is often tragedy, and 'Yinmin' is an example."
After saying that, he slowly walked towards the window and opened the plain curtains.
"Feng Mine" stood up and looked out curiously.
