Chapter 786: Connected by Cogs (7)
"It may not be possible yet, and I don't know if the current empire has the qualifications and values you think it is. β
Putting the letter back in his pocket, Kasia stood there in deep thought for a while. It was quiet, and after reading the letter, the dragons' eyes had disappeared. The body was so relaxed that the tiredness rushed up. Shaking his head, Kasia sat down on the spot, took the holy sword and looked at it carefully, but still didn't find anything magical about it, except that the weight was becoming clearer and clearer in his heart.
At that time, Grote seemed to be very young, at least according to the information he had consulted at the beginning, when he came to the cemetery to leave the chest and the second generation of holy swords, the empire was still in the initial stage of change. The Quartet is also in the process of taking shape, and there is still some distance between the time a group of people in power in the empire do something to him and his family.
He had noticed something, but Grote still seemed to underestimate the group of people in power in the empire. The second-generation holy sword and the box have always remained the same, and in the end, he still didn't have a chance to come here to activate the back hand he left behind, so he became a pile of dry bones in the lies of war.
Kasia pulled out the necklace, and the two hollowed-out bones collided with a crisp sound. By the time the shaking stopped, the amber filled in the bones was fragile and cracked.
Holding it in the palm of his hand and lightly touching it with his hand, the cracks on the small piece of amber suddenly spread out and spread all over it. A small piece of amber fell off at this point, as if there was a chain reaction, and it was full of cracks, more like a pile of quicksand that had reached equilibrium inside, and when the balance was broken, it naturally became what it was.
This time, I didn't use my hands to pick up the red crystal. The gravel-like amber particles eventually failed to resist the erosion of time, and in a few breaths they completely turned into powder. Kasia gently blew them apart and took the necklace, leaving only the red crystal lying alone in the palm of her hand.
Some of them are like lead shots, which are very dense. It is an irregular polyhedron, and Kasia's face is reflected on each red mirror of various sizes.
I've always thought about the picture of the man in the stone painting who swallowed the crystal and turned into a real dragon, but Grote was the experimenter, and the crystal had long since lost its original power, and the remaining effect was only used as a concoction for surgery.
So there was no need to worry, Kasia looked around, stunned for a few seconds, and then carefully held the crystal, returned to the hall with the second-generation holy sword and the silver-gray box in one hand, and walked to the raised fire and sat down.
"This should be the end of the matter here. Talking to herself, Kasia opened her mouth and swallowed the red crystal, opening her cross pupils and repulsion opening. Then he closed his eyes, turning off his body's redundant senses to receive signals, so as to carefully feel the whole process of his body absorbing the crystal. In the future, if there is a condition that damages the body, this feeling can also be used as a specific illness to be judged by the old professors.
There is no specific taste, with a freshness, somewhat like mint leaves used for flavoring.
The weight of the crystals soon made it into Kasia's stomach pouch. Under concentrated perception, the stomach bag acid, which is far more than that of ordinary humans, cannot be affected at all, just like an ordinary person swallowing a piece of alloy of the same size, which can only remain in the body forever, and cannot be digested.
At this time, the devouring method was activated, and since it was related to dragons, Kasia thought that it would play a role.
The situation was roughly the same as he thought, and under the devouring method, the crystals began to melt slowly. The cooling sensation intensified, and the whole stomach became refreshed and clear, and the sensation soon spread throughout her body, reaching into Kasia's brain.
I never felt that I would be as lucid as I am now, and many memories that were about to be forgotten came out of the depths of my head, and some knowledge that I didn't understand very well, and the vague places in the development of the surgery, became clear at this moment. It's like writing words on white paper with a pure black pen one by one, and every touch becomes distinct.
"That's what crystals do? The body has become a little lighter, not as heavy as it used to be. It will probably be more flexible and reflexive. Kasia thought to herself. It did work on the body, and now the rejection reaction is in full swing, and when this cooling sensation spreads throughout the body, the specific rejection is also greatly reduced. The implanted dragon tissue is more stable, and the speed of assimilation and fusion has completed a considerable stage in this short period of time.
While Kasia was immersed in this feeling, the coolness quietly faded from her body. I don't know how much time has passed, it may be a few days, it may be less than a few minutes, and the red crystal has completely disappeared from the stomach pouch. When Kasia noticed, the coolness that overflowed her whole body also disappeared, and instead of it, there was another slight burning heat that made her body's blood boil, and even the air became a little scorched, and the smell of gunpowder filled it.
"Maybe it's the body's natural reaction to absorbing crystals. Kasia thought as she opened her eyes and stood up.
Instantly froze in place, and the palpitations that had nowhere to vent rushed to his head. Kasia felt a feeling of dizziness as she stood up bent again. The head was lowered and he saw his feet, wearing a new pair of soft-soled rubber shoes, which were a little miserable white. Beneath the shoes was a parched, scorched ground with glass-like particles that had solidified after being melted by the flames.
A sense of detachment in Kasia's heart turned into a panic. He spread out his hands, covered in rough folds and calluses, shaped like extremely worn instruments that were about to be scrapped. He remembered that the look of those hands had not changed for a long time after the ride from the town to the retrain. It wasn't until they underwent surgery and stabilized the condition of the first stage that they gradually became softer.
"What's going on?" "What's going on?" Cassia looked up at the scorched earth in front of him, the smoke of gunpowder covering the distance, and the black smoke floating in the pale red sky, "What happened? I'm in the dream again?"
I hurriedly looked at my clothes, and it was indeed the one I wore when I entered the biological building for surgery. Memories that had been clear began to blur at this point, and Kasia struggled to remember the first and only time she had entered her dream. But the more I tried to explore them, the farther and farther those memories became, until eventually, the memories turned into a hazy cloud of smoke, and I could never see what was in them, and I could only remember a very vague approximate appearance.
"The effect of that red crystal. β
Kasia stood there and thought, this was the only reason, and other than that, he couldn't think of anything else he had come into contact with before entering the dream.
"The fallen ship, and the broken analyser and the codecard!" Cassia finally grabbed a piece of debris, "and γγγγSuccarus!"
An inexplicable sense of excitement rose in her heart, and Kasia immediately stepped forward according to her vague feelings. The heaviness came at him, and his legs became less flexible, returning to the way he had been when he had just come out of the town.
"It should have been just a dream, but I should have walked to the front of the battleship on these legs. There was some comfort in the words.
It seemed to be back to square one, Kasia didn't know how far he had come, there was no difference between day and night, the sky had always been the same color, only the floating of bands of black smoke reminded him that he was indeed moving under such a sky.
The black ash underfoot turns the shoe into a different pure color. By the time Kasia woke up from her daze, a light rain began to fall in the sky. The body becomes more tired, and the strength does not move the legs. The next moment, he couldn't support it anymore, and he fell to the ground, and his body rolled down with black mud.
Something didn't feel right, and Kasia remembered what should have happened, the shadow of the huge battleship would loom over her. But when he looked up, all he could see was the burning sky and the skyline beyond the reach of the black earth.
Struggling to her feet, Kasia looked around and couldn't take a single step. He felt lost and panicked, as if he had forgotten a lot of important things, and he didn't know where to put his feet next in which direction.
The drizzle continued to fall, pooling into droplets from her hair and hitting Kasia's face. The coldness of the droplets reminded him of something, and his hands trembled at this moment.
Not wanting to believe it, Kasia froze in place for a long time, and finally raised her hand and touched her neck.
The roughness made his fingers tingle, and there was indeed a new scar there. The scars of the refugees who were cut with a short sword on the retrain.
