Chapter 243: The Boundary Between Fiction and Reality
February 28, 10 p.m
"Dong" lost the corpse of the head and fell to the ground after shaking a few times, Chong held down his arm while bypassing the corpse of the demonic beast, the strength was not very good, but the number was still a little too much
After using the teleportation spell he had given him, Chong found himself in a rural corner that was not even recorded on the map, and if he stood up straight and looked out from the middle of the forest, he could only see the village, and before that it was all dense bushes, and it was difficult to find any other creatures except for the occasional beast that emerged from the trees, and the most puzzling thing was the sky, the sky in the woods seemed to be fixed in the night, and although it could not see the moon, it could not see the sun at the same time, If I had to say it, there would be a bit of a "end of the world" feeling in it
(Fortunately, I can see the end, otherwise I would have doubted that I am still alive) Chong pressed his arm hard, and there was a crisp sound in his hand, and the dislocated bone was reconnected
“?” Chong had just taken a step forward when he heard the sound of "Didi" coming from under his feet, and he quickly understood what it meant, as long as there was something like that here
The left foot did not move and the right foot slowly stepped back, and then the left foot slowly moved a little to the side, revealing an earthy green shell under the sand that had been wiped off the soles of the feet
(Isn't this a commonly used mine during World War I, this thing was no longer used during World War II) The mines used today are all heat-inductive, and few people will use the old type like this one before exploding after moving away
Quickly move your left foot away and kick it away along with the mud and sand with the momentum of a shot
"Bang!" The mines exploded in mid-air, scattering sparks on the surrounding bushes, and some of the leaves were then ignited, but they were too small to cause a fire
"The beast will be attracted by the fire, and get out of here" Chong quickened his pace, he still didn't know where the destination was, so he needed to keep searching for the "shards" and reassemble them, there must be something he needed here
There was another soft sound under the "click" foot, not a button but a steely "jingle".
Chong leaned down and then used his palms to remove the sediment little by little, as if an archaeologist were digging for dinosaur fossils
"It's ...... The barrel of a tank? "The green barrel was covered in rust, and the muzzle of the gun seemed to have been burned into a blur due to overheating, and the part of the bottom of the barrel that was originally connected to the tank body had been melted into molten iron, and it seemed that it had been destroyed by an enemy shot
(It's an old World War I tank again, and the last M72 rocket launcher was also a finished product invented in the late World War I)
Note: In fact, the M72 rocket launcher was only equipped after 1958, and it was advanced because of the advanced level of technology
(Could it be that all the weapons here were drawn from the world war that began in 1914?) The time here is no different from the outside world, but why are there weapons that have long been buried by history? If they flowed here at the time, then why were they still used? Is it possible that the shelf life will last for more than 100 years?
"This is the kingdom of the remnants of the witch hunt period, and most of the nobles are their descendants" This is his brief introduction here, so think about it carefully, the witch hunt mainly took place during the period of the Black Death, there were three successively, the largest one was in 1594, and the longest lasted from 1604 to 1658, if the last one was counted in 1687, then the history here should have been three or four hundred years, which is consistent with what he said "magic is about to fail, because it has lasted for three or four hundred years".
After thinking for a moment, "Sha" Chong continued to dig through the dirt under the barrel with both hands, maybe there was something underneath waiting to be discovered
"Found" is a book made of black leather, the material looks very old, is it a diary? In the past, soldiers did use notebooks made of black leather to record what they saw and heard on the battlefield
"Hmm" resolutely opened the black book, which contained only a few pages, and it seemed that either he had memorized it very late, or the owner of the diary had died soon after
The first side was too bloodstained to make out the words, so Chong turned to the second side
"On September 22, the sky was still full of dust today, the heavy air was breathless, and some of the wounded were quickly killed because of this, but this kind of thing happens so often that no one cares about it anymore, and we don't even have the mood to bury them" Is the cruelty of the war The master of the diary is in German, it seems that it was written by the Germans who caused the war, and it seems that the war is also nearing its end, otherwise Germany would not have been forced into such a desperate situation
"We've been ordered to defend this place for half a year, and during that time fighter jets bomb this place every day, and the Allied bastards don't even plan to send people to rush to this fortress!" Ally? Wasn't there Germany in the Allies during World War I?
"I ate some horse meat for dinner, it's really unpalatable, I finally know what the horses are for us, it seems that we don't want to gnaw on the shell or axle of the chariot, anyway, someone just choked to death yesterday because he ate too much shoelaces, I really TM envy, I can still be a full ghost before I die" The German tone is really vulgar, but why doesn't this diary indicate a specific time?
"October 23rd FUCK! Who knows the time of this hellish place! I want to go back to Germany! Even if it's to go to the front! I don't want to stay in this place for a moment! What the hell Axis powers! This strange state simply cannot be used as a logistics base! FUCK! FUCK! I'm going back! I'm going back anyway! People here are crazy! It's crazy! The diary was over, and he understood something
The diary of the Axis and the Allies was not written in World War I, it was born in World War II, but it is even more difficult to understand why even World War II events appear here. And if that's the case, then why isn't there even gasoline here?
(No, if you think about it, why are all the products of the First and Second World Wars that appear here, and why are there weapons from the outside world, but why are the technologies from the outside world not appearing here?) Chong clenched his hands in his diary and thought (What was the connection between the two world wars?). Germany dominant? Not true)
"The definition of a world war is the most ferocious and vicious war in the history of mankind in which all countries of the world are involved," subordinarily read his definition. ”
"Huh!" Continue to open the last side of the diary, I want to go back to the front, but when Germany was defeated, every place was equivalent to the front line, I don't know the specific time here, why don't you know the time? Because there is no way to identify, why is there no way to identify?
"Time here is determined by looking at the moon, and outsiders like you need special study to understand," was Louise's remark when she wanted to ask if there was a clock here
The answer was reached, it was not the weapons of the outside world that flowed here, but the weapons of the outside world that were used here, the kingdom of the remnants, he did not say a word wrong, this is really a kingdom, a country that experienced the war of the first and second world wars
"So it is" This place is completely different from Gensokyo, it was once open to the outside world, but then it was lost in the war, and finally understood why the flag here is a little familiar, the lion of Abion is equal to England, and the rooster is engraved on the palace of Trestein, which symbolizes France, and the distribution of the kingdom here is probably no different from that of Europe, so it is, this is actually a kingdom that has actually existed in history
"I thought this was another world, but I didn't expect it to be just a closed country far away from the world" was played again, and it was completely tricked, so the reason why there is no electricity and fuel here can be understood, because after World War II, they were no longer able to protect the country's territory, so they decisively covered up their history before being invaded by the Allies, and it is because of this that they chose to abandon science and choose magic, that is, in order not to let others discover their past
"Then it seems that you can send him away anytime and anywhere as long as you want" It doesn't matter if you don't know the road, it's enough to run in one direction all the time, at most bypassing a little mountain, at most crossing a river, and the kingdom of the closed can only rely on these as a barrier, as for the enchantment? Wouldn't it be enough to bleed a little more?
"Bored, go back" I'll go back to Terestine now, and then go and send Hiraga back to Japan first, so much so that I blame myself for so long!
"But what is the land of the fairies" Is it possible that the land that has been closed in a closed country hides the true history of this place? And he chose to protect the "truth" in order to prevent people here from discovering history?
"It's really interesting," Chong whispered, now that this matter is getting more and more interesting, then let's send Hiraga away first, and then I will continue to stay here and wait and see
"I want to know what the hell is real!"
Note 1: My brain hole is terrifyingly big, are you satisfied with this setting? It's not an otherworldly chapter, but a chapter in search of the lost kingdom!
