Chapter Twenty-Six - The Cry of the Far North 07

"The Book of 'DIO' was originally something made by someone... It's a realm I can't reach, and it's not an exaggeration to say magic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info magic..."

Craigwin paused, as if trying to explain the strange presence that suddenly appeared, he knocked on the table, staring at the girl in the glass behind him, then he looked at the weapons on display on the side of the laboratory, and said slowly:

"The development of science is very strange now, a hundred years ago, human beings only used weapons that could only be filled with gunpowder very slowly, and the power and range were not satisfactory, like this one, flintlock pistols. Although artillery was generally loaded at that time, compared to this year a hundred years later, the technology was too backward... Can you imagine? Mankind has not made as much progress in weapons as it has ever been in any of these 100 years. ā€

Soaring in the sky, shallower underwater submarines, and king tanks in land warfare, these things that seem to have been seen only in fantasy stories in the past are now widely used in the armies of various countries. In just 100 years, generations of weapons have been eliminated, and even emerging countries have been eliminated, and the armament of the United States has changed from the rudimentary flintlock pistol to the M16, which is now known as the world's most reliable rifle, and the Soviet Union has long before the development of its biggest competitor, the AK-47.

Some small countries that lack armaments even use artillery and spears - to survive under the protection of other countries.

"Do you really want to know where all this came from? Maybe it's a secret that you've known for a long time..."

"The Book of DIO? What's that, it's the same as your name. Sixteen Nights Moon was also very curious, but she had already heard a little about the magic that Craigwen was talking about.

"I'm curious," Dior bowed slightly, "Could it be that the book of 'DIO' has something to do with this?"

"The power of the book of 'DIO' is undoubtedly the realm of magic, and that realm is not related to me. All I know is that "someone" created it. ā€

"Magic... Every century, every country, every civilization has a different name, and that is not a beautiful thing, but only brings disaster. Ancient Babylon, Ancient Egypt, Ancient China, Atlantis, Maya... The cause of the demise of these once-prosperous civilizations... Maybe it has something to do with it. And the reason for the emergence of your "capable ones" is, in the final analysis, also due to the existence of this "trick". ā€

To this day, even in the ancient Orient, there is very little information about such a thing as 'magic'. Depending on the country and culture, 'magic' has different names, and the 'magic' of different countries has one thing in common - it has been almost forgotten. And there are only a handful of people in the world who know magic.

"Penglai Island, the reason for everything is there. ā€

Craigwen coldly popped out a broken sentence in Chinese, and Dior and Sixteen Nights looked at each other, both wanting to laugh.

"That island drifting in the Atlantic Ocean is the cause of this technological anomaly. I've talked to its administrators on that island... She told me many things related to my profession and not only me, but academics from all over the world were gathered there on the same day... We weren't told to keep it a secret, and the 'people' on the island didn't even shy away from their existence at all, and the scholars who came back from there, including my disciples, the Capeks. After that, I immersed myself in science and technology, and I don't know how many years later, my experiment was successful, but when I paid attention to the news in the world, I realized that the world had completely changed. ā€

That day began, and the world began to change. Craigwen was kicked out of England for his experiments, and then began to study things related to Penglai Island. Craigwen believes that there is a future technology on Penglai Island that is far beyond the current human technological power, but in fact, after years of research, he found an explanation that has nothing to do with technology.

There is a record in the ancient texts of the Ming Kingdom, and Craigwen found many like-minded friends in the Ming Kingdom and the United States to study together, and finally got the information that there are no ordinary human beings on Penglai Island.

It is inhabited by the "yokai" that the inhabitants of the Ming Kingdom are accustomed to, that is, a non-human race, and the true body of the technological power they have mastered that shocks Craigwen and others is actually "magic".

"There are priests on that island who can see the 'future', and what they give us is indeed 'the technology of the future of mankind'. ā€

"As for the book of "DIO", I served "DIO" for three generations, but unfortunately she was not able to call "DIO". I thought that the inheritance was coming to an end, and it is said that the real "DIO" exists in the book of "DIO", and the person who is lucky enough to meet it is our king... And I saw it, when you were on the submarine ... When "time" stops... That man has appeared, hasn't there? "DIO" forever!"

Dio was shocked when she paused time on the submarine, only to discover that the blonde man had broken into "her world" and killed the attacker... There was no doubt that the man was the real "DIO", but how could the puppet check know about this? Not to mention that it happened on the "carlibar" at the time, and it was supposed to be during Dior's timeout, no one but her would know...

"Submarines? Why do you know about submarines? Aren't you a member of the Skull and Bones Society?"

The Sixteenth Night Moon also clenched the Turkic sword.

ā€œ... Of course I knew, firstly, that I was not a member of the Skull and Bones Society, and that the chair was just a souvenir, and secondly, that the submarine was built by the little girl of the Capek family under my direction, and I knew exactly what was going on in it... Mistress Dior paused time and fired a gun, and when time was paused, what did it do... Mistress Dio did not make a move, but the man's head was screwed off, and the bullet fired by Mistress Dio was crushed. The world is able to act when time stands still... Aside from you, there's only "DIO"!"

ā€œ... And I didn't say anything, okay, what should I do? Excuse me about the irresponsible commander?"

After Sixteen Nights said this, the two looked at each other for a moment, and immediately decided to pack the doctor and take it back to the Hunter Department, but before that, communication from Daria came to their satellite phone.

"It's a big deal, it's the guys from the Skull and Bones Society, they're gathering about two kilometers from the institute, there aren't many of them, only sixteen of them can be seen, but there's a tank... What are these madmen going to bring this thing to the snow? Now, I'll tell you first, my gun can't penetrate the armor of a tank. ā€

"Really... Rejected their demands, and now start using force? What a bunch of reckless men. ā€

Craigwen seemed to know exactly what the two were talking about.

"Don't worry, let your teammates come in, this research base can be infiltrated underground, and it is impossible to break through with their equipment..."

"Shut up, old man, and borrow your gun. ā€

Without saying a word, Dio picked up the sniper rifle that looked the largest on the weapon rack, inspected it for a while, and it was very well maintained, and there were almost no traces of use of the spear god, rather than letting it rust on the weapon rack, it was better to take it out and use it. The PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle has a shameful simple structure, it looks like it has a butt and bracket and a handle on the barrel, and this handle is almost as long as Dior's height 14.5mm caliber rifle, which is really not a good sniper weapon.

But at present, this is the only one that has the ability to penetrate the armor of tanks of unknown type. After casually firing two AP rounds from the table, and after trying to make sure it could be loaded, Dior ran out with the gun in his arms.

"Well, don't be impatient, it's just such a little person, how can we solve it. Sixteen Nights didn't know what to say and scratched her head.

She didn't have any particular thoughts about the guy who called herself her father, but rather... She didn't care much about her background at first, and as she spoke, she immediately ran out with Dior.

The two quickly left the institute to meet Daria, and when she saw the gun that Dio was carrying, Daria fell into a moment of speechlessness.

"You don't want me to use this, do you?"

"What's the problem? I'm not very good at sniping. Dio handed her the gun and bullets.

"Whether the armored vehicles and tank No. 2 that were used to fight the Soviet Revolution can penetrate the side armor of the current tanks is questionable ... Wait, I see, but the first shot can only hit the track, just two?"

Taking the bullet and gun and carrying the big dick with one hand, Daria asked.

"Just two shots, this one is borrowed for me. ā€

Lifting the L96A1 sniper rifle that Daria had brought, it was much heavier than the firearm she was used to.

"Alright, you stop the big iron sheet, and I'll try to break the track first, and then see if I can kill it. First of all, avoid the assault fire, and kill the Heavy first, the Skull and Bones Society is not a regular army, and it must have cost a lot to get this kind of equipment... Let's just treat this guy as a battle feat, so what's in the lab?"

"Me and my family Dior's children. ā€

Sixteen Nights smiled sweetly.

ā€œ.......ā€

"If you have to say that, maybe it's not wrong... But there's no time to argue about it right now, so let's go. ā€
