After the end of the Glorious War, the dynasty known as Jiuxia arrived at the port of Rendona with their fleet, and it was the first time that the people of the Western world saw a kingdom from the East.

"Do you know where Jiuxia is?"

Taking out a key like an iron branch, Shrike inserted it into the keyhole, twisting it vigorously to make a metallic grinding sound.

"Oriental...... bar. ”

Lan Jade thought for a moment, and then said, after all, the name that Jiuxia is often given is the empire of the East, the only empire.

"More specifically?"

Shrike writhed hard, the thing heavier than he thought.

"I can't think of it, I didn't go to school, you know. ”

Speaking of this, Lan Jade seemed a little regretful, she had struggled for so long in the old Dunling, and all her energy was spent on survival, and she had no time to take care of anything else.

"Actually, even if you go to college, you don't necessarily know where it is, because only a few of our navigators get there, and we know too little about the East. ”

Shrike said.

"It was in the east, in the far east, and the whole ocean was separated from us, and the ocean was so vast that no captain had the confidence to sail on, and they felt that they would never be able to reach it. The only ones that can intersect with it are the Viking Kingdoms. ”

"Viking?"

Blue Jade has the impression that Jiuxia is a beautiful country rich in materials, and I don't know how it got along with the poor and sour place of the Viking kingdoms.

"Yes, in fact, Jiuxia is on the same continent as those Viking countries, but the winding and tall Caucasus Mountains are like a city wall that separates the two worlds, and there are legends among the Vikings that on the other side of the mountain is a heavenly world, but many people have not been able to climb the mountains ravaged by the blizzard, even if some people have left, they have never returned. ”

Shrike gasped a little in his voice as he turned the key hard, and he laughed as he spoke.

"It's very interesting, right, on the other side of the mountain is the warm world, but many people will never find these things in their lifetime, just like us, we are only a thin line away from the mystery of demons, but we may not know it until we die. ”

A crisp sound sounded inside the cylinder, and the shrike let go of his hand, as if triggering some kind of mechanism, and the metal sound rang out in unison, followed by the rapid rotation of the complex mechanical structure, and the sealed shackles were opened one by one.

Taking a deep breath, the shrike knew what was behind him and felt a little pressure from it.

"Blue Jade, do you know, in fact, the arrival of the Nine Summers many years ago was premeditated. ”

For some reason, Beroe continued to talk about things related to the mission, and Blue Jade noticed his strangeness, and did not stop him, but listened carefully.

"As early as the end of the Radiant War, we knew about the existence of Jiuxia and established a connection, which was a ...... It should be said that it is the largest country in the whole world, and we compare it to it as the old Dunling is to the whole of Invig. ”

"At that time, the Demon Hunting Order still existed, and the Evangelical Church threatened us with the plague of demons, and in order to make up for our lack of knowledge of demons, we made a deal with Jiuxia. ”

Shrike turned his head to look at the blue jade, and smiled confidently.

"We exchanged steam technology for Jiuxia's knowledge of demons and combat technology, in fact, we earned in this regard, the industrialization progress of the whole world is irreversible, steam technology will spread all over the world sooner or later, and it is only a matter of time before Jiuxia obtains this technology. ”

"So with the technical support of Jiuxia, the purification mechanism was born in the true sense. ”

Shrike pressed his hands against the cold metal, and then slowly pushed it, with great force, as if to push the whole world away.

There was a shuddering sound from the door, as if some monster was rubbing its teeth.

Pushing open the door, there was a deep darkness behind it, and the cold weapon looked at the two of them as if it were alive, and in this closed carriage, the last gap between humans and monsters did not exist.

"You should be wondering why I'm saying so much, right, after all, I don't know if I can hold on, and if I can't, I'll need to replace you.

A sword-bearer needs to know the sword he uses. ”

The cold light illuminated the dark space, and the icy gas overflowed from the feet of the shriek, and under the pale light was an iron coffin-like container.

Blue Jade finally realized the danger of this weapon at this moment, even if she didn't really see it, she also sensed the extreme ominousness from it, not to mention that in order to maintain the stability of this weapon, there was actually an independent small generator and refrigeration equipment installed inside.

"What's that?"

Blue Jade asked with some trepidation.

Shrike was not in a hurry to enter, standing by the door as if he was still hesitating, and when he heard Blue Jade's question, he replied slowly.

"The prototype of this thing comes from the Nine Summers of the East, they call this thing the XCOM, and after the transformation and redesign of the Perpetual Pump, we call this thing the Original Sin Armor. ”

Original Sin Armor.

Lan Jade only felt the coldness from the depths of her soul, and she was obviously wearing a heavy coat, but she still couldn't help but shiver.

She knew of the Original Sin Armor, but she hadn't seen it, and it was said to be a secret weapon from the Perpetual Pump, which possessed the power to terminate demons.

It's powerful, but it also carries huge risks, such as Galahad, who has not been heard from since that night.

"Unlike the first-generation armor used by the knights, this is a second-generation armor that has been deteriorated, and it is not as powerful as the first-generation armor, but it will also weaken the erosion of the user a lot. ”

"It had just been built in the furnace of the Berhans Arsenal the day before the mission was made, and I was supposed to be the first user of it, so something might happen. ”

Shrike tried his best to make himself easy, and then walked through the door as he spoke, but the blue jade grabbed him just as he fully stepped in.

"So that's how it was planned in the first place, that you put on armor and die?"

Blue Jade really understands now, those words before were really last words, and it was also true to write a will in the site at the beginning, this man really felt that he would die here.

"To be precise, it's a backup plan. ”

Shrike replied.

"The best solution for the plan is for us to hold the enemy and Lancelot to finish it, but it's clear that everything is going in the worst direction now, and we can't even get out of the carriage without this thing, and I don't want to die here without firing a shot. ”

Striding into it, the shrike flicked the cold iron coffin, the shrike hated the weapon, but as Arthur said, this was the only way to fight the demons, just like the fire-bearer in the night, the flame burned out, so he jumped into the fireworks and turned into the last firewood.

"Take it, it's a weapon that can kill me if I get out of control, remember to hit me in the head, as long as the brain is dead, the Original Sin Armor won't be able to control me, and this thing will be quiet. ”

Pointing to the other corner of the iron coffin, a weapon that resembled a spear, the shrike had to admire the thoughtfulness of the Berhans Arsenal, who not only sent the demons, but also included weapons that could kill them.

"What's that?"

Blue Jade couldn't keep up with Shrike's words, she thought that it was just a man's pretense before, or to show charm or something, but now it seems that he is serious, from what music to put at the funeral to where to bury it.

"The Forge Spear, an experimental weapon from the Mechanics, can be understood as a large thermite with zero range, with a sharp spear at the tip piercing the armor, and then the built-in barb tearing a gap, while the heat and liquid metal from the thermite reaction pours in through the grooves. ”

Pointing to his head, Shrike said jokingly.

"In a matter of seconds, my head will melt into an iron ingot. ”

It's really not a good joke.
