Chapter 230: The Sorrow of Deepness (98): The Reappearance of the Mask (Part 2)
"What is that? A strange thing." Yadaroni stepped forward curiously and looked at the mask.
He found that the mask in front of him, which exuded a subtle, undetectable weird atmosphere, was very different from the ancient Putoya or Cruzdean style.
In the western culture of mainland China, masks usually mean that the person does not want to show his identity and wants to enter a certain field in anonymity. In some more remote communities, such as the Feliga region controlled by the Putoya Federation and the Feliga region in the northern Feliga region, the Feliga region in the southern Feliga region and the Ayran border region, wearing masks symbolizes the temporary request for possession of the gods, borrowing the power of the gods to sacrifice or pray.
Whether it is a regular bishop, a herald or a bishop, there is a history of making and wearing masks. The styles are usually based on pure gold, dotted with gems or spliced with metal of other colors, revealing a sense of solemnity, mystery, horror and sacredness.
The masks in the east of the mainland add a sense of cultural mystery, which are usually used in cultural performances and a small number of sacrifices to gods. However, in the history of the Fire Empire, in addition to southern provinces, such as the early Gunan civilization in Guhe Province, the official large-scale sacrifices of the Fire Empire are usually the protagonist of the emperor, revealing the "true appearance of the emperor", praying for the protection of the gods, the creator and the way of heaven with a real and flawless face.
The two may have the same basic uses for masks, both to hide their true identities, but they are slightly different in sacrificing gods.
However, the most important thing is that the civilian masks in the western land mainly cover the upper part of the face, especially the eyes, while the masks in the eastern part are accustomed to covering the lower part, mainly the mouth.
However, the mask in front of him, which was placed in a very simple manner, was more like a mask than a mask. It is obvious that it was not a product of the first and second eras, but an industrial product after the arrival of the steam era of the third era.
"This mask is more like a small gas mask. However, there is no ventilation or oxygen device behind it. But this style is undoubtedly our Cruise." "Fu Bing" stood aside, bent down slightly to observe the mask, and analyzed:
"You see, there is a straight crack in the middle that is not very obvious, as if it was cut off along the axis of symmetry in the middle by some high-precision cutting machines invented by Ivan Twenty-second period."
"It seems that this is true. Could it be that the mask was artificially split into two halves before and taken away from the old empire?" Anastahiri recalled:
"The older generation said that when the old empire was fighting against the Sunne, Eventre and the Khitan Ris, their spies had repeatedly sneaked into military important places to steal advanced equipment and attempted to bring it back to the country for research. When encountering large equipment, if it could not be taken away in disguise, they would usually be split into parts and transported multiple times and then assembled.
"If it is a small equipment or a magic power that is extremely powerful, in order to suppress its unstable aura and avoid attracting the attention of the magic power users, it will be cut and then taken away and fought back through skills such as "recovery".
"Can this... be a sequential monster? Has this sequential monster experienced such a bumpy fate?"
"It's hard to say." The tone of "Fu Bing" was slightly bumpy, "You see, its fabric is basically the dark gray-green one that the army of the old empire and the Federation liked, and the double-headed eagle heraldry on the top... Now, the heraldry that is basically unusable is not much different from the heraldry of the old empire, especially the Rurik family.
"There are a pair of round and outwardly raised lenses on its eyes. I guess it is a crystal material containing magic power to resist filth and evil spirits. The mouth should be the pipe connected to the oxygen cylinder. However, as far as I know, due to the shortage of raw materials, the federal factories rarely produce oxygen cylinders for diving and other purposes.
"However, in general, it does have many similarities with the gas masks that the Federation once equipped for special troops in batches, but I believe that it may have been just a concept product developed by the Federation that has not yet been put into use. It may be extraordinary, but it is always beneficial..."
As he was talking, Yadaroni couldn't help but be curious and reached out to grab the mask, but was quickly slapped by "Fu Bing" on the back of his hand and stopped him:
"Don't touch it, Adaroni. It has a strong power of the Lord of the Dark Night on it, which will conflict with the flames, light and the power of the dragon clan in your body, causing dangerous consequences."
"Okay." Although Adaroni was a little unwilling to give up, he temporarily gave up the dangerous idea of trying to touch.
"But now it seems that I can feel the thick, mad 'sorrow' stored in the mask. The power of the Dark Night Lord may attempt to guide the 'sorrow' to silence, but I don't think the dark power can really do anything." "Fu Bing" continued:
"I guess that this mask must have passed through the hands of the Sunny people before it will become like this. The message of the Lord of the Dark Night should be correct. There are no other rooms here, nor the breath of other monsters. The orderly monsters He left for us who have successfully interpreted the information is this mask."
"Sequential monster...mask..." Anastahiri tapped his head with his right fist and recalled seriously:
"There are several branches established by the widely banned organization in the Sunnese side that they have acquired this sequential monster. They may have studied this monster carefully, or transformed it. In my impression, the documents left by reading about the organization seem to mention this mask, what is it called... By the way, 'Classen's Mask'."
"'Classen's Mask' is a familiar word, as if he had heard someone mention it when Sernel was strong." Adaroni, who was standing aside, said:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It seems that after being imprisoned for four or five hundred years, I accidentally heard the guards wearing heavy protective suits mention it. I vaguely remember that the guards said that this mask was not a rare thing at the beginning, but the Sunnese people developed an anoplanar space through it, perhaps called the "Scarlet Devil Realm". A Cruzde was imprisoned there, and it seemed that the Sunnese people accidentally walked into it in a northward counterattack."
"Princess?" "Fu Bing" asked, "Is it the Danivia Princess Kuka mentioned some time ago that Vasily's 'first dog leg'?"
"I think it should be. My father has been working in the strategic regiment. Captain Fu Bing, you know, my father is the director of the Battle Planning Group under the strategic regiment. He is now serving as a counselor for the legions that are fighting fiercely with the "unintentional people" in order to better contribute to the "Gnaji defense line." Anastahiri turned to look at "Fibing" and said sincerely.
"I know, but I have also said that I am not interested in your family, position, and past, I only care about our future. Anastasiri, I know what you want to say, you must know about the "Crimson Devil Realm", but you also consider that the persuasiveness brought by your identity is not enough, so you try to use other information to increase some persuasion." "Fu Bing" patted Anastasiri's shoulder and said a little helplessly:
"Those are not important to me, and I never care about it. My habit is to accept as much information as possible, then identify, select, and finally make as many correct judgments as possible. Unless it is said by the gods, I don't care about the source of the information."
"Okay, I'll just say it." Anastahiri said calmly:
"My father learned in a document submitted by Kuka to Lord Vasily called "Several Historical Issues in the Old Empire" that the princess was named Danivia Karovloya Rurik, indeed a member of the Cruzde royal family. According to calculations, she was probably the cousin of Ivan Twenty-five. However, she was an illegitimate daughter born in the South Carov area and was not popular.
"Adaroni was right just now. It was around February 815 of the Third Age. In order to regain the hegemony of the empire, Ivan 25 brazenly launched a battle called "Adrian's Call" to the Sunnese people in the south. The empire dispatched three famous legions, the Second Guards and the Twentieth Legion, who were good at fighting, carrying a large number of artillery, tanks and guns, and cooperated with the formation of the aerospace army for more than 300 years and entered the land of the Sunnese people."
"In this way, the scale of the war is not large or small, it is of medium scale. I remember that the maximum number of these three legions was only 100,000. Considering that the Empire was in the state of "the afterglow of the Double-Headed Eagle" during the 25th period, that is, it has been going downhill, this number will only be smaller." "Fu Bing" asked according to common sense:
"So, the final outcome of the battle of 'Adrian's Call' is a failure?"
"Of course." Anastahiri nodded and sighed softly:
"The reason for this war is not sufficient, and the legions located in the water province and the Nanshan District had no time to enter the battlefield, and the defeat came from the front. After all, the imperial army had difficulty in progress at the beginning of the war. It took three elite legions a full two months to capture the border city of Zhuolin and several settlements near the border area north of Zhnetsk.
"The Second Guards who went south originally tried to capture Chekavsk, a major transportation route and industrial center, but fell into a very obvious pocket town in the middle of the highway, and almost wiped out the entire army. After that, the Sunnese people dispatched twice the troops of the old empire to fight back north, and while recovering the lost territory, they also successively captured Linbian City, Shuangligrad, Old Port, New Port, Budadien City, Linmayang City and Voliga City.
"That is, when the Sunnese invaded the South Karov area, the Sunnese found the princess and tried to imprison her in exchange for more bargaining chips from Ivan Twenty-Fifth. Unfortunately, on a blood moon night, the princess was lost while fleeing from her temporary residence and mistakenly entered the 'Scarlet Devil Realm'."
"Mission-entry? Haha, misentry." "Fu Bing" sneered. He was mocking the incompetence of the Cruzed people, but also mocking the hypocrisy of the Sunne people.
"At least, the officials on both sides agree with this statement." Anastahiri continued:
"In fact, the 'Scarlet Demon Realm' was originally the cage made by the Sunnese people. Since the princess has mistakenly entered it, there is no need to release it. After all, the humans in it will not be born, old, sick and dead, and they do not need to consume any food, because as long as the humans enter it, their time will be suspended. As long as they have not walked out, it can be regarded as realizing another meaning of immortality."
"The imprisoned eternal life is torture. I think this is the deterrence of the Sunnese people to the Cruzed people. However, this mask." "Fu Bing" said, and the pictures formed by the previous narrative appeared in his mind. His fingertips accidentally touched the "Classen's mask" and felt its solid and vicissitudes of texture.
"I think the Lord of Dark Night leaves this sequel monster with such a story behind it to us Dark Night people and treat it as a reward. I think it is not as simple as entering the 'Scarlet Demon Realm'. The princess who is favored by the gods must have her value."
"Fu Bing" murmured to himself that the water-source magic power in his body actually resonated with the remaining red and black dark magic power in the mask.
