Chapter 347 [Secret Technique of Spiritual Training] [Machine Soul Joy]
An undead.
A red undead from the Great Yan Kingdom is wandering in the ice sea of the Far North.
——This is the information that Carles relayed to everyone at this time.
Everyone fell into a brief silence, silently digesting the information revealed in the intelligence.
"Wait a minute, but what are the undead souls of [Great Yan Kingdom]?"
Daisy was shocked and puzzled, and couldn't help but ask aloud.
"Isn't [Dayan Kingdom] a country that has perished? How could it become an undead?"
Carles responded: "I don't know the specific reason, but according to frontline intelligence analysts..."
"The undead souls of [Great Yan Kingdom] can be said to be the product of the collective consciousness of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]."
"Those who died in the disaster and those who took the secret journey, the remaining consciousness and soul of each person may be very limited."
"But when the remaining souls of all the citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom] gather together, when the emotions of pain, unwillingness, and resentment are mixed together..."
"Coupled with the common identity of the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], as well as certain changes that occurred in the past..."
Carles said softly.
"An undead named [Great Flame] was born like this."
Hearing this, people couldn't help but look shocked again.
The secret travelers who can successfully reach the [Far North] can actually be regarded as the elite among the elite in [Seven Seas World].
But even they had never heard of such a deed, and even thought it was a bit fanciful.
An undead composed of the souls of all members of the destroyed kingdom.
In that catastrophe, no one knew how many people in the Great Yan Kingdom died directly.
No one knows what kind of hatred and resentment they will have.
Just imagining such an existence makes people feel a little creepy, and there is a chill in their backs.
But Shane thought of another problem.
The Great Yan Kingdom was not the only kingdom that was destroyed in the first great flood, but why was it that only the Great Yan Kingdom gave birth to such terrifying undead?
He simply asked this question to others.
Even Carles could not answer this.
Jane was the calmest one among them. She thought about it and spoke.
"I have heard of similar stories."
"After a village was wiped out, a certain necromancer used some weird ritual to create an especially powerful and brutal ghost undead."
"This undead named [Great Flame] was probably born under similar circumstances."
Jane paused and continued.
“The conditions under which it was formed were definitely not that loose, and were even very strict.”
"So, not every country will give birth to such undead souls after its demise."
"I suspect that something special must have happened when [Great Yan Kingdom] fell."
Hearing this, Xia En nodded in agreement.
This coincided with his suspicion.
Otherwise, wouldn't [Seven Seas World] be filled with such terrifying super-large undead?
However, what makes Xia En even more curious is what happened in the final stage of [Great Yan Kingdom]?
Whether it's the attitude of Princess Great Yan Bing, or the diluted and blurred memory of [Black Flame Walker], or the appearance of this undead [Great Flame].
All indicate that on the eve of the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom], some major changes were very likely to occur.
It was this change that caused the seal of the Great Flood to be broken, causing the [Seven Seas World] to enter the "post-flood era."
At this time, Daisy thought of another question.
"Why is this undead possessed by the [King]?"
At the mention of the [King], Carles' mood obviously dropped, but she still managed to cheer up.
"The reason why the [King] disappeared is because when searching in the [Cold Sea], it happened to hit this undead that had just woken up."
"And my father's request for help was sent just before the [King] was possessed."
"Maybe in the past few months, some kind of change has occurred, which completely integrated [King] and [Great Yan]."
Upon hearing this, Daisy immediately looked at her with concern.
"Carles..."
Xia En and others also immediately understood the reason why Carles was suddenly depressed and dazed.
Now that the [King] has been possessed by [Great Flame], the people on that ship are obviously in bad luck.
Even if Colonel Gold is a legendary strongman.
But the strength of [Great Yan] is far beyond that of ordinary legends. Even strong men like Musa and Heller are no match for it.
In other words, Colonel Gold has probably...
The arrival of this information is undoubtedly heavy bad news for Carles!
It is not difficult to understand her strange attitude.
"Don't worry, don't worry about me."
Carles puffed up his chest, looked around at everyone, and said, "I'm not that fragile."
"Besides, my father may not have died."
A chuckle came from her vocal device.
"He is actually better at protecting himself than you think."
"However, I have also made up my mind."
"I must go to the [King] that is possessed by [Great Flame] to find out. Whether my father is dead or alive, I have to personally witness it!"
Alessio opened his mouth but stopped talking.
He wanted to say that the [Great Flame] was a terrifying existence that even the legendary strong men could do nothing about.
But when the words came to his lips, he realized that he had no position to persuade Carles to give up doing this.
Thinking of this, Alessio looked at Shane with a slightly pleading look.
In his opinion, if Xia Enlai could persuade him, Carles might be able to change his mind and not do such a thing that would lead to death.
But at this time, Xia En spoke.
"In that case, I am willing to accompany you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"What?"
"Captain Shane?!"
Both Joey and Jane looked at Shane with surprised eyes.
Carles raised his helmet sharply and looked straight at Xia En.
"Don't be so nervous."
Shane explained: "The current [King] must be very dangerous."
"But the legendary powerhouses of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are not in vain, and they may soon be able to find a way to safely enter the interior of the [King]."
"Otherwise, if we can't even solve this crisis, how can we prevent the second great flood?"
After listening, Joey and other crew members reluctantly accepted this statement.
But even so, they can smell the strong danger behind this matter.
Just daring to make such a promise to Carles is no longer something that ordinary people can do.
On the side, Alessio's eyes were particularly complicated. Probably until now, he didn't understand why Carles chose Shane instead of himself.
"You are a little tired today, so you should rest in the camp first."
Soon, Carles ended the topic and said: "Captain Shane, can you stay for a while?"
"I have something to say to you."
Xia En nodded and said: "Okay."
Before leaving, Joey tugged on Shane's sleeve: "Mr. Captain, remember to come back early."
When he said this, Joey glared at Carles with his beautiful big eyes, as if he was declaring his sovereignty, and also as if he was warning the potential stealing cat.
The corner of Xia En's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Forget about others, Carles is not even a human being at all!
If Joey hears Shane's thoughts, he will definitely say——
“It’s just because you’re not a talented person that it’s more dangerous!”
……
……
Not long after.
Everyone else evacuated from this special barracks.
Carles said: "Captain Shane, follow me."
Shane didn't think much and followed Carles into the steamy room.
Compared with ordinary rooms, there are much more pipes laid here, and the heat is diffused throughout the room, which is completely white.
It’s hard to imagine that this is the coldest place in the world.
"Sorry, in order to heal my injuries and maintain this high-load state, I asked them to increase the steam power."
Carles's voice came from the front: "If you feel uncomfortable, I can ask them to turn it down."
Shane saw that with the contact with the white steam, the damaged areas on Carles' body were repairing themselves at a slow speed.
This is apparently the effect of those "holy vapors".
Seeing this, Xia En waved his hand: "No need."
"I can still bear this temperature."
After bathing in dragon blood, plundering storms, and many other physical enhancements, Xia En's body's ability to withstand extreme weather is far beyond that of ordinary people.
The temperature at this level is nothing at all.
"That's good."
At this time, Carles' figure was almost completely shrouded in fog, and only the sound came from the steam.
"Actually, when I was young, my father and I were not close."
"At that time, I had no human emotions, let alone the concepts of relatives, family, and father."
"It can even be said that I was just a cold machine at that time, with no other function except as a killing weapon."
Through the steam, Shane couldn't see Carles' appearance, nor could he see the changes in the light under her helmet.
Shane understood that Carlisle asked him to come here not because he wanted him to do something.
But I just hope there is a listener who can listen to what she has to say.
Thinking of this, Shane said nothing and listened to Carles' story in silence.
"Also because I am not a human being at all, when I was first created, I was often ostracized and ridiculed by other children."
"Of course, I didn't feel anything about it at that time, let alone feel sad or sad."
"But every time, the father would drive those children away and give them a scolding."
"I once advised my father that there was no need to do this. I still remember his expression at that time. It was helpless and slightly sad."
"He told me that when I start feeling sad about it, that's when I will really grow up..."
Carles spoke about the past events in a leisurely manner, allowing Shane to learn more about her and the legendary Colonel Gold.
"One day later, I suddenly felt that those children who said bad things about me were so annoying."
"It was only then that I gradually developed human emotions."
"In the first period of time, I could often sense other people's strange looks, either fearful, uneasy, or repulsive."
"Therefore, I also complained to my father, why did he create me."
"Father didn't give me an answer."
"But now, I seem to have found the answer myself."
Shane asked, "What's that answer?"
“Probably, it’s to meet more people.”
Carles replied: "I can make friends like Daisy, and I can also meet you, Shane - if I had not been created, none of this would be possible, right?"
"So, it's great to be born in this world!"
Suddenly, Carles changed the subject and said.
"By the way, Xia En, I have a newly learned secret technique that can strengthen the spirit. Do you want to try it?"
"The secret of mental training?"
Xia En hesitated, but still said: "You can give it a try."
"This secret technique requires two people to perform it. Just stand where you are and don't move around."
"Okay."
Chi——
Along with the sound of steam pressure releasing, Shane felt that Carles was approaching him.
And Xia En was no stranger to this voice.
Immediately, Carles hugged him from behind.
……
……
Early next morning.
Xia En walked out of the room refreshed.
The coldness of the [Far North] seemed insignificant, and he ignored it easily.
Although the process seems a bit strange, the [spiritual training technique] mentioned by Carles is indeed very effective.
Xia En clearly felt that his mental power had increased and his control over the secret power had also improved.
According to Carles, that secret technique comes from the [Church of Steam].
It was originally used for communication between steam priests and steam machinery, to awaken, appease, and please the machine soul, thereby improving the efficiency of steam machinery.
And Carles was originally a soul born from the steam armor, so it was perfect for her to use this secret technique.
One night of exercise completely made Carles "very happy."
Shane even clearly felt that Carles' condition had stabilized significantly, and at least he didn't have to worry about collapsing during the battle.
This is equivalent to the fact that the cultivation level previously improved with the "Magic Technique" has been consolidated.
However, as soon as Shane walked out of the room, he saw Joey waiting for him at the door.
With a look of suspicion on her pretty face, she asked: "Mr. Captain, what did you do last night?"
