Chapter 185: Dialogue (II)

The man in front of him chose to be silent after saying this, and Kasia chose the same option as the man in front of him, looking at the fire together without saying a word for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is your spiritual world?" Cassia looked at each other through the flickering flames and the gaze of the man opposite, and he didn't choose to ask the man's name first, but asked about the real situation in this world. After all, he wouldn't believe that something so weird could happen in the world, even if it was true. And even if there were, it could only be in a dream.

"You've already seen it, so why bother to be sure. The man replied mechanically, "but there is a difference in it, and that is that the world is inherently bright, with mountains, water, and sun, and the place we are staying in now is a lush grassland in the spring." But because your brain is not fully developed and evolved, your abilities are insufficient, or your mental strength is far from reaching my current standard, so many things are not able to show up to your eyes. ”

"It's like the status level is not enough, so a lot of permissions are not open to me for the time being. The two are the same. Kasia asked.

Appropriate and appropriate metaphors, you can understand it this way, although there are still some deviations in it. The man replied, "In my time, the differential machine had only just begun to be popularized in the country, and the analysis machine was strictly managed as a state secret. At that time, there were very few people who knew the password card and knew the inter-gear bite program. And only a very small number of people know that the word 'open permission' is frequently circulated in differential machines and analyzers. ”

The man's back straightened, and the sensation on his body immediately turned to the cold and sharp of a standing mountain. He rubbed his hands together as if it were cold, and then said, "You are living much better now, with fast and comfortable trains, lamps that don't burn gas or quicklime, and steam boilers that don't have to be watched overtime, and which don't have to be filled with coal in a short time." Time is indeed the best tool for development, although we expected such a day to come, but we did not expect it to be so beautiful. ”

The man sighed, and Kasia listened quietly.

"But a lot of things have changed, and some things are still the same. It is a miracle that the empire has been able to survive for thousands of years under such circumstances. It can also be said that there are really geniuses born in those families and forces, otherwise any era in which the previous generation and the next generation cannot be replaced can make them go to the abyss of destruction. I remember when I was a child, I listened to my grandfather Roma tell me about the Mano Kingdom, and the pattern at that time was not like this at all. The man fell into his memory, "Among the hundreds of surrounding countries, the national strength of the Mano Kingdom can only be regarded as above average, and it is not an outstanding country. And at that time, the Far Sea Commons and the Flame Alliance had been established for a long time, after all, behind them were two other giant forces. In the face of the threat of other countries around it, as well as the invisible oppression of the two huge forces on the Houxiang Continent, it is not easy for the Mano Kingdom to come to the current empire. The man laughed at himself a little when he said this, and his face was a little gloomy in the firelight.

"I thought this pattern would last for a long time, but one winter was about to reach night, and a train brought something that would change the fate of the entire kingdom. Looking down at the light in the fire, the man looked at Kasia again and said, "Do you know what it is?"

"Dragons?" Kasia was unsure.

"Not exactly. The man replied, "The train did bring in two dragons, the young dragon that had just broken out of its shell a few days after it was born, and had just gnawed its own eggshell, and the one that had not even opened its eyes completely." However, in order to capture the two of them, almost half of the army strength of the Mano Kingdom was sacrificed. When the commanders found that their simple guns and cannons had no effect on the two creatures, and could not even knock down even a single scale on their bodies, they could only rely on their numerical superiority to desperately pile on the two dragons. Then, after almost two months, the army, with the cooperation of mobile troops on land and rudimentary propeller planes in the air, followed the two flying young dragons to run through the southern forests of the Mano Kingdom, and finally exhausted the physical strength of the young dragons with countless numbers and constant interference. Fortunately, the young dragon was born a few days ago, and after birth, it only ate its own eggshell and a small human body. So there is almost no physical growth, resulting in the eyes which are still their Achilles' heel. Even if it was tough, their hard skulls could have been drilled with the help of a drill bit. So in the forest, the leukotomy was carried out smoothly, and they were transported back to the Manoma area, the center of the Mano Kingdom, smoothly and safely. Otherwise, I don't know how many more people will die, and whether the baby dragon can be safely transported back will also become a huge mystery. ”

The man looked at Kasia, who was listening very seriously, and smiled, "It is full of a lot of accidents, but I, who knew about these things through historical records, cannot fully and in detail describe the scene at that time." It is as if even the leukotomy surgery was carried out on a whim by a medical scientist in the past. At first, everyone just thought about tying them with chains. At that time, even the big violent bear in the deep mountains could not break free from the alloy chain with the thickness of his arm. Not to mention that the chains prepared for them by the kingdom at that time were much thicker than the thighs of adults. ”

"Isn't that all right?" asked Kasia then, then, in response to the man's words.

"Because there are three goods on the train, and in addition to the two young dragons that were brought in, there is also one cargo. The man replied, "That's what changed the kingdom of Mano with the dragons, and its effect has always been the same as the dragons do to the empire now." That was the heart of the first generation of analytical machines. At that time, it was transported by train to Manoma, and it was at this time that Mano, the king of Mano, really had the rise and became the most basic capital of the current empire. At the time, I was just a kid who had just started elementary school. ”

The man paused for a moment, thinking of something in his mind, and sorted out what he was going to say next, "Maybe it's my grandfather, Old Rom." When I was a child, he planted in me the idea that I would definitely enter the army when I grew up, and from an early age he trained my body and trained in the use of various weapons. He didn't know where to find a real firebolt, and then he modified it to reduce the power and reduce the huge recoil. When I came home from school and had a week off, he took me to a remote place to practice my firearms and shooting skills. That's pretty much how my childhood went. ”

"Didn't you just say that the Mano Kingdom lost most of its army strength in order to capture those two young dragons? The man said in an inquiring tone, but without getting Kasia to answer, he continued, "After the Mano Kingdom changed its name to the Saint-Dorag Empire, it began to recruit soldiers on a large scale throughout the country, and the number of troops was expanded without limit. At that time, the empire was on the one hand to replenish the number of people lost, and on the other hand, it was also to prepare for the war that had already been decided. Originally, my grandfather Rohm always wanted me to join the army, and at that time, it was just in time to catch up with the wave of recruitment that had lasted for more than ten years. My grandfather was also very enthusiastic, and gave his life savings to a few officers at the time to help me barely pave a potholed road. I didn't understand why my grandfather did this, and he still wouldn't give up, and this problem stayed with me for many years, and it wasn't until long after he died that I understood. ”

"At that time, I entered the army, because my grandfather trained me since I was a child, my physical fitness, and various skills far exceeded my peers too much, and my grandfather helped me pave a little road in front. In peacetime, my promotion speed is also acceptable. And just when my military career was slowly and steadily developing, my grandfather was critically ill, not suffering from any serious illness, but unable to resist the erosion of time, and died of natural aging. The man in front of him calmly told his story, "Of course, I saw my grandfather for the last time, when he was lying on the hospital bed, inhaling oxygen, watching me come back in a military uniform, and the rank of captain on the collar, after listening to me say that after being promoted to major recently, his face became very energetic, and his eyes were full of joy, not at all like a man who was about to die." He wanted to talk to me alone, because our grandfather and grandson had a good relationship, and when the rest of the family was out, I saw the joy in my grandfather's eyes turn to sorrow. At that time, I had been in the army for six years, and the friction between the empire and the surrounding countries was gradually increasing. I thought my grandfather was worried that the war would break out and I would be drawn into the war and die. So I tried to comfort him and tell him not to worry about anything. But that's not exactly what Grandpa cared about. ”

"I remember my grandfather closing his eyes and shaking because of what he thought. I took his extremely thin hand, the bones in the palm of the skin, which were so sharp that they seemed to cut through mine. Grandpa opened his eyes and looked at me as if he was about to shed tears of remorse. In the eyes that were already cloudy at that time, there was indeed only endless regret. ”

At this time, the man sighed, and his mood became depressed.

"At that time, my grandfather looked at me and said, his voice trembled, 'Little Grot, I have made a very wrong decision before, which may lead you, even the family you are about to form, and our little family into the abyss from which we cannot escape. If you want to blame me, just scold me as much as you want. At the time, I was still complacent about this decision, but now I regret it, I was completely wrong、、、 'Grandpa lost control of his emotions and ended up in a coma.' Because of the army, I went back the next day, and my grandfather never woke up from that time. A week later, I received the news of my grandfather's death and was sad for a long time. When I attended the funeral, I thought about what my grandfather had said to me. At that time, I always thought that my grandfather had a huge guilt and remorse for me because he had let me enter the army and that war was coming, and that I was afraid that I would be involved in the war. This thought stayed with me for a long, long time, until I was promoted to colonel, when I was almost middle-aged, my family was formed, and I participated in and commanded a lot of wars and frictions with other countries around me. However, the war that was supposed to come was delayed, and my grandfather's words had been completely forgotten by me at that time. Until one day many years later, I was approached by an agency in the military department that I had never heard of, saying that I was going to be rewarded with something because I had behaved well and contributed a lot to the country. You should be able to think of what this thing is right away, right?" the man looked luffed.

"I guess it's the first generation of surgery that has been perfected in the Empire. Kasia said he already knew who the man in front of him, whom his grandfather called "Little Grote." He was the first knight of the empire, Grote Rom. (To be continued.) )
