Chapter Forty-Seven: The Flames of War That Are About to Spread
From the moment humanity had civilization, disputes were inevitable.
From the tribal wars in ancient times to the intrigues in the modern officialdom, everything is inseparable from the word profit.
Sitting on the huge couch, Otto propped his head in thought.
Perhaps the Honkai was true, the punishment of the gods for the dissatisfaction of mankind.
There was only one lonely sofa in the dark and empty room, which made the atmosphere extremely oppressive.
"Recently, these so-called countries are not too active"
Casually threw the document in his hand to the ground, the flying white paper slowly fell, and Otto's eyes flashed with a dangerous look.
The year is 1914, which means that the First World War will take place in July of this year.
I don't want to think about whether this is a war that people are waging to satisfy their own desires, or if it is just caused by the collapse.
Stepping into brown boots, Otto rose from his seat.
Walk over the white paper that covers the floor, leaving black footprints on the clean white paper.
As if he didn't care about the importance of the information at all, Otto walked out of the room without even caring about the paper on the floor.
The times have changed, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
People who were familiar with them have all died, whether they were original enemies or friends. Those who couldn't keep up with him were left behind.
The only constant may be the deepening longing for Karen.
"Let's go and see Changguang."
With that in mind, Otto took his own steps.
As the only person who could still speak to him on an equal footing, Otto occasionally visited her institute.
As the bishop of Destiny, in the eyes of most people, Otto is the king who stands high. Naturally, no one dared to be disrespectful to him, which also led to the fact that he had been alone for the past hundred years.
Walking into the St. 1504 Academy, Otto paid no attention to the people walking by. He walked straight towards Changguang's laboratory.
As regulars in this research institute, all the researchers are accustomed to the things that Otto patronizes.
"Even so, standing in the Bishop's year, I can't help but shudder."
Two researchers behind him whispered.
Infused with the Honkai Beast gene, how could Otto, who has a physical fitness beyond ordinary people, not hear it.
Turning a deaf ear to the discussion behind it, the mask can't be taken off if it's been worn for a long time.
"Ah!! Get out of the way! ”
As soon as he pushed open the door of the laboratory, Changguang's raised cry came.
At this moment, Changguang is wearing a strange mecha, and he is holding a long pipe behind him, which seems to be used to transmit Honkai energy.
However, the point is not here, at this moment, the surface of the dark mecha is glowing red, and looking at Changguang's appearance of jumping up and down, it is estimated that it is out of control.
Carried into the air by the jet behind him, the long light flew uncontrollably towards Otto.
Turning sideways, Otto moved out of the way. The rampaging mecha crashed into the hallway in front of the door at a speed that was imperceptible to ordinary people.
"It hurts"
Buckled himself off the wall, Changguang covered his nose and shouted
"You can't pick me up."
Complaining like this, Changguang still prioritized checking whether his mecha was broken.
"Don't do it, it hurts to look at it. Besides, you have rough skin and thick flesh, so it won't be good if you fall."
Just like between you and your friend, Otto and Changguang get along like this.
"So, are you here to make trouble again?"
The almost scrapped mecha was moved back to the test bench, Changguang said.
Don't look at the fact that Otto has developed two sets of suits before and think that Changguang's current research is inferior, the things made by Otto at that time are difficult to mass-produce because of the particularity of their materials, don't you see that he has only made two sets now.
"There's been a war out there lately."
"How can I see it?"
Finding a place to sit, Otto needed to confide in his thoughts, and it was not good to hold it all the time.
"It's just a gut feeling, I've heard it a lot lately. The researchers mentioned a little bit when they brought me lunch. ”
In the past few hundred years, Changguang can be said to have carried forward the word "house". Every day, I ask someone to bring it to the door.
Looking at the hill-like debris pile on the side, Otto couldn't help but sigh at the other party's attainments in the production of weapons. It's like she's already having countless weapon-making methods in her head.
“……”
“……”
"It's almost time to go, I still have a lot of work to attend to."
"Oh, yes. I've got something here that you're going to be interested in."
Raising his head from the test bench, Changguang mysteriously rummaged through the clutter pile and found a box.
"Something to be packed in an obsidian box"
Otto, who seemed to be aroused and was about to leave, stopped.
"It's Honkai can crystallize, you must have never seen anything like this."
The boaster, Changguang opened the box in his hand.
In the box, there was no so-called "crystallization" of Honkai energy, but half a box full of blood water.
The formation method of honkai energy crystallization is very special, and it is difficult to form it artificially. The most basic condition is that the collapse energy concentration needs to reach 500 hw.
"Can the collapse of the blood state crystallize?"
It was the first time he had seen such a situation, and Otto couldn't help but mutter.
"Not long ago, a team dug it up in the mountains of the Black Forest in Germany, and it was intercepted because of curiosity."
"Well, it seems that there was such a report not long ago, but I ignored it."
Bogging his chin, Otto recalled the events of the past few days.
"Well, I'm going to use soul steel to make a big sword with it."
Soul Steel is a metal left over from the previous civilization, and this metal is several times more resistant to Honkai than obsidian, but even with the Mandate of Heaven's abundant assets, there is not much inventory.
Otherwise, Changguang would not have had to ask Otto's opinion in advance.
"Eh, let's do it."
Seeing the peculiarity of the Honkai Energy Crystal, Otto approved Changguang's request.
"Then I will give you special permission to take 200kg of soul steel."
The density of soul steel is not comparable to that of different irons, and since it is necessary to build a heavy sword, it naturally requires more quantity.
"Eh, stingy. It's just a little bit of a grudge. ”
Rolling his dead fish eyes, Changguang muttered.
Saying goodbye to Changguang, Otto also needs to go back. As the current bishop of Destiny, he is still very busy.
He probably had to move away from here for the next few days, and he didn't want the flames of war to burn on him.
Speaking of which, even if the Mandate of Heaven is the true controller of the world, the current time period is not too dazzling in the world.
The top of the state only knows that there is a special stop to deal with the so-called Honkai, but they do not know the real power behind it.
Even if it is a lion, when it seems too docile for a long time, people will forget the sharp teeth of the other person......
