Terra's Magnetic Field

Kal'tsit was stunned, and her hand holding the pole trembled, because she heard a soft female voice behind her. In her imagination, Khorne should be a bloodthirsty giant with muscles as his brain, so she naturally thought, "That guy is so insincere! He actually let his maid meet me! I am the famous Kal'tsit!"

"Fish are not fools. They never bite hooks without bait or lines without hooks. But it's not necessarily the same for people. Aren't many people fighting for insignificant things? Even if they may get nothing in the end..."

"An idealist?" the other party seemed to be thinking about something. "So you are not fishing, you are fishing for people?"

"Yes~ Didn't I catch you here?" Kal'tsit said in a tactful tone.

"Pfft~", the other party chuckled, "Sir, you have a really venomous tongue, are you making fun of me?"

Kelsey only responded with one sentence:

"He who wishes will take the bait."

"So I have been hooked by you today, sir?"

"Who are you?" Kal'tsit asked. She guessed from the other party's conversation that he was no ordinary person.

The other party only replied with one word:

"Ten thousand"

Their story begins here, and their fates, linked by a fishing line, have entangled them for thousands of years.

That’s all for today.

Warring States Whisper: Yan Kingdom

During the Three Kingdoms period, Xi Bao occupied the Wu territory in the east of the Yangtze River and was known as the "Little Overlord of the Eastern Wu", "Xi Shiwan", and "The Fairy in the Painting".

"Xi Shiwan" is a derogatory term, which originated from Xi Bao's drunkenness:

"We can fight back even if there are 100,000 of us!"

As a result, the next day, Wanbao heard the news and came to kill him. Xibao quickly took his men and fled. At that time, Yan State already had the saying of "discussing fighting beasts". A bunch of random people gathered together to discuss the strongest fighting force at that time, so people in the fighting beast circle laughed at Xibao as "Xi Shiwan".

Xi Bao: Someone wants to invade our Great Wu territory again?! (Angry)

Wanbao does not rank among the twelve brothers and sisters, and even now some people think that she should not be counted among the twelve sons of God. But she is indeed Nian's younger sister, so there are such derisive terms as "9.5 sisters" and "nine and a half sisters", and Wanbao herself hates this.

Volume 37: Chapter Chapter Son of the Earth and Son of the Lord

After Wan accepted Kal'tsit into his account, he immediately invited her to perform a talent show in front of others to show that she had a "unique skill"

Kal'tsit first used the beret she was wearing at the time to conjure up a dove, which was how she hinted to the nobles that she had mastered "magic" when she was in the West.

Of course, in the eyes of later generations, this move of hers was nothing, but in that era when ignorance prevailed and people's education level was generally low, Kal'tsit was naturally regarded as a god by the upper class, and she was regarded as the "agent of this land"

This is where Kal'tsit made her first pot of gold, by cheating fools.

After Kal'tsit performed this move, she did not receive the expected applause, but instead there was an uproar:

"Tsk, that's it?"

"Shitty job!"

Wan, who was sitting on the tiger-skin stool, could not bear to watch any longer, so he ordered the black snake beside him:

"Go! Give her a full life and open her eyes!"

So Black Snake began to "fight" with Kal'tsit

Black Snake stood up and walked to Kal'tsit, shaking her clothes a few times. A few crows jumped out from her skirt and flew out of the tent. Black Snake also glanced at Kal'tsit's sleeves, meaning "I've already seen that you hid the pigeons in your puff sleeves before, don't embarrass yourself with this little skill!"

Kal'tsit was not to be outdone. She quickly drew out her sword and swallowed it down her throat. After a while, when she drew it out again, there was no blood on the sword. She turned around to show that she was fine.

Black Snake looked over with contempt and kicked Kal'tsit's hilt twice, meaning "I can tell at a glance that thing is retractable!"

Only then did Kal'tsit realize that she had met her match, a big liar against a big liar, colleagues are enemies, and enemies often meet on a narrow road!

When Wan was traveling before, her activity funding came from building a tent for Black Snake to perform his talents inside.

If Kal'tsit practices this to cheat money, then Black Snake practices purely to survive, because if she fails to make money, she will be forced to risk her life.

Kal'tsit took out a cigarette, snapped her fingers to light it, and slowly put it into her mouth with her tongue. Then she took out four more cigarettes of the same kind and put them into her mouth to light them. She repeated the process, and now she had five cigarettes in her mouth at the same time! Then Kal'tsit asked the brother next to her for a bottle of wine, and drank it in public.

"Does she want to eat the cigarette?"

When everyone was suspicious, Kal'tsit opened her mouth and spit out the cigarettes she had lit before, one by one, without a drop of alcohol on the cigarette paper!

Those who couldn't understand the principle cheered, and now the pressure was on Black Snake.

The black snake took out a thin line hung with sharp blades, swallowed it into her mouth without saying a word and pulled out the thin line. After a while, she put the thin line back into her mouth and chewed it, leaving only a little bit of the thread end and holding it in the corner of her mouth. Then she opened her mouth and pulled out the thin line hung with sharp blades, without missing a single one!

This trick is similar to Kal'tsit's smoking and drinking, both use a flexible tongue and are very demanding of oral skills. Compared to these two tricks, tying a cherry in the mouth is nothing!

The two of them then performed some tricks like not killing by beheading, saving people with a chainsaw, bathing in a frying pan, levitation, and telekinesis, which left the onlookers stunned. The on-site effect was comparable to the Terra Magician Competition, a technical exchange between two of the best magicians in the world today.

Kal'tsit tried her best, but Black Snake countered her moves. Finally, Kal'tsit was forced to use her "unique skill". She found a hemp rope and hanged herself on live broadcast!

There are many different opinions about what happened afterwards. Black Snake has his own version, Wan has his own version, and Kal'tsit never mentions it, which is like a "Rashomon".

………………

In Terra 0080, with the Lateran's blitzkrieg on Kazdel, the First World War began. After the flames of war from the barrels of the Lateran religious knights ravaged the West, they marched towards the mysterious Eastern world, which is known in history as the "First Lateran Religious Knights' Eastern Expedition."

A lot of things happened in those years, it was as if the contents of an entire history book were crammed into a certain time period, the bizarreness and twists and turns of which astonished later generations.

The Lateran Religious Knights' Crusade was the first collision between the East and the West in Terra's history. Although there were some caravans traveling between various places before, Westerners' impression of the East was still vague, and most Westerners only thought that the East was an unimaginable fantasy world.

Troubled times are the hell of mortals, but also the cradle of heroes. As the war intensifies,

Various talented and courageous people began to emerge in various places in La, and "Wan" was one of them.

In Terra 0080, although Wan accepted Kal'tsit, the "sage" from the Western world, he did not take her warnings seriously. He felt that the threat from the Western world was not comparable to the current civil unrest in Yan Country.

As for the Lateran fully-armed religious knights and the Syguralup mobile force that Kal'tsit mentioned, Wan didn't take them seriously at all, and even said, "Those country bumpkins who dare to come here will never come back!"

If you carefully study Wan's life experience, you will find that her arrogance at that time was not without reason. In Terra 0080, she was 28 years old and had never been defeated. In any battle, she crushed her opponents, as if she was the "chosen one". This land created her for the purpose of destroying evil spirits. All the configurations on her body were to defeat evil spirits. She was a well-deserved "killing machine".

According to the "Terra hypothesis" proposed by environmentalists of later generations, Terra, where humans live, can be regarded as an organism with "self-regulating capabilities."

Terra's life form is in harmony with the natural environment and has a certain "self-repair" ability. When "external instability factors" that threaten the environment appear, Terra's will will give birth to "tool people" from the life form to resolve the threat.

Therefore, Wan can also be understood as the "white blood cells" of this land and an indispensable part of Terra's "immune system". Her function is to devour and eliminate the "viruses", that is, the "evil spirits" on the earth.

The earth borrowed the womb of Mother Wan to give birth to her own "children", and Wan is the son of the earth.

The same is true for the "Deep Sea Hunter" of later generations. The Deep Sea Hunter is actually the will of the sea using the immune cells spawned by the "Agor" race to fight against the sea heirs. Although on the surface the ability is obtained by injecting the flesh and blood of the sea heirs, in essence it is the result of the ocean's own coordination.

The difference between the earth and the ocean is that the earth is a gambler who likes to place all bets on one person and give an individual great power.

The ocean is very cautious. Based on the principle of "don't put all your eggs in one basket", it gives power to the group of "deep-sea hunters" rather than individuals.

In this way, even if some individual deep-sea hunters become corrupt, the rest of the deep-sea hunters will exclude dissidents to maintain the stability of the group.

Dadi said, "My agent will never fall into evil!"

It turns out that Dadi will regret his decision later, as he is as arrogant as Wan.

Wan was not compatible with "sea combat" from the beginning of her design. The meaning of her existence is to eliminate the evil spirits on the earth. Hai Si is the prey of deep-sea hunters, and once Wan steps into the ocean, it will be regarded as "crossing the boundary", which is an invasion of the ocean by the earth and an act of ruining the place.

Therefore, Dadi was very smart to set a restriction for Wan: "cannot touch sea water", which is a fatal weakness like "Achilles' heel" and "Siegfried's back". In actual combat, Wan would start to feel weak even if he smelled the smell of the sea, let alone touching the sea.

Dadi proudly stated that he had created a "perfect work", a hero who would never be defeated as long as he stood on the earth. Anyway, Wan lived inland and had no contact with the sea water, so she would not have the idea of ​​running to the beach, and she might not realize that she had such a defect until her death.

Later, an engineer named Edward Murphy summed up a hypothesis called "Murphy's Law" based on his miserable life. The core content of this hypothesis is that if things have the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

In the religious theology of the Lateran, there is a saying that "human beings were originally born in the ocean", that is, "the ocean is the mother of all life, we are born in the ocean and raised by the earth". In simple terms, "the ocean is the biological mother and the earth is the stepmother".

So they call sea water "Water of Life" (LCL) and "Holy Water", and believe that all life born in the ocean will eventually return to the sea and become orange juice to complete its replenishment.

The weapons and equipment of Lateran soldiers were all "blessed", that is, the blades were wiped with a high concentration of seawater before the battle. Even the steel used to forge bullets was mixed with a mineral powder called "seastone".

Seastone is equivalent to the crystallization of the sea. Its composition is similar to that of seawater. It can be said to be a solid form of seawater. Its effect is the same as that of seawater, which can make life worse than death.

Maybe it was really "God's will" that the Laterans mastered a powerful weapon to deal with Wan by chance, and even Wan himself didn't know that he had such a fatal weakness. Maybe God just wanted to teach her a lesson and let her stop being arrogant, so he played a "little joke" on her.

So in the summer of Terra 0081, when Wan Hexi's troops were fighting fiercely, a group of Laterans wearing black robes and holding machine guns rushed into the battlefield and began shooting at the Yan people who were killing each other without saying a word.

The people of Yan State, who had never seen such a large-scale firepower coverage, were quickly killed and defeated, and Wan also felt what real "pain" was during this shooting!

Because of the excruciating pain that pierced her bone marrow when the bullet hit her back, she will always remember that turbulent summer, and she will also always remember the Lateran woman riding on a white horse that day, the "angel" with blue hair and white robes, holding black and white staffs.

Wan saw contempt in the eyes of the Lateran woman, and the arrogance of the superior towards the defeated. She had seen this kind of look before, reflected in the pupils of the evil demon she had killed.

The Lateran woman on the white horse was 28 years old and was the Lateran Pope at the time. A thousand years later, she had a well-known code name:

"Mastema"

On that hot summer afternoon, the Son of the Lord defeated the Son of the Earth, and the two women with similar life experiences became enemies.

That’s all for today.

Terra whispered: The young Tallulah who had just been kidnapped by the Black Snake was very uneasy and often cried and made a fuss, so the Black Snake performed its magic tricks for her. Tallulah then calmed down and watched the Black Snake perform attentively. This was one of the few happy moments in her childhood.

Kal'tsit will also tease Amiya in this way (but she won't perform the hanging act)

"It is the most sophisticated killing weapon on this land. It is capable and elegant. It is the favorite of desperadoes and religious warriors..." Nian gently stroked the machine gun in his arms, revealing a motherly look. "It has a full metal gun body and a wooden stock. It will not malfunction, jam or overheat when shooting. Even if it is covered by mud or dust, it can still fire normally."

"It's easy to use, even a twelve-year-old can master it quickly, and they do use it. The Lateran people print their guns on their flags because it is their most proud local specialty. Since the war began, countless guard guns have flowed out of the hands of Lateran deserters. Although guns and firearms are spread all over the land, they are still firmly monopolized by Lateran."

"But this is different!" Nian raised the machine gun and pulled the trigger. The bullets poured out along the beautiful rifling, making a series of explosions. "Every part is produced by Yan Country craftsmen, 100% made in Yan Country!"

The group of people in front of her applauded in agreement, and then their leader Wan came out and asked Nian:

"How much per pound? Do you want to send bullets?"

After some fierce bargaining, Wan finally got three thousand assault rifles equipped with bayonets from her good sister for thirty gold coins, and also gave her two hundred thousand Origin Stone gunpowder bullets. She also asked if she could get a discount if she had the demand next time.

When Wan pried open the wooden box on the truck and took out a brand new assault rifle with the words "AK-47" printed on it from Licorice, she couldn't help but sigh at the completely different feel from the sword:

“I’ve seen the future!”

Since then, Terra has entered a nationwide gunfight mode...

...............................

After the army of religious knights led by "Pope" Mostima approached Yan Country, they defeated the warlord forces that had previously ruled a certain area with an unstoppable momentum. Even a strong man like Wan was defeated by their blessed blades and guns. She had never been defeated before the age of 28, but she suffered defeats one after another after the age of 28.

During that period, not only the soldiers under her command, but even Wan herself began to doubt herself. In her memoir "My War of Resistance" after the war, she called that time "the darkest days of my life."

Soon, under the dense firepower coverage of the Laterans, Wan was driven from the initial mobile urban area to a remote mountain village. It was the hot summer, and the hot and humid climate of the Shangshu Mountains made her miserable.

I thought that other people should unite when faced with foreign invasion, but the facts proved that Wan overestimated the "family and country feelings" of the Yan people. In this situation of internal and external troubles, the Yan people not only failed to unite but fought more fiercely. What's worse, some of them even directly defected to the invaders and became "traitors" and "Yan traitors"!

Wan cursed those guys as traitors while being chased and beaten by the Er Gouzi who got the new equipment of Lateran. The only feeling of those Yan people who got the guns when chasing Wan was "this thing is better than a sword!"

The Lateran gun is essentially a magic staff, and it requires a certain level of magical skills to use it, but who doesn't know how to use it in that chaotic era?

Wan was driven into the mountains and forests and was in a dilemma of being unable to get in or out. On the one hand, she could not continue to lead the troops deep into the mountains because this was a war, not wilderness survival.

On the other hand, she also had no way to take the troops out, because once they showed their heads, they would be at risk of being killed by Lateran snipers. Under the carpet-style cleaning of Lateran unmanned bombers, all carbon-based creatures would be turned into charcoal!

Maybe it's because of Wan's luck

After being extremely depressed, she began to rebound. At this critical moment, Nian took the initiative to contact her, and the scene at the beginning of this article happened.

After the war with Yan Country intensified, Kal'tsit left Wan and went solo to become an intelligence dealer. Of course, most of her intelligence was fabricated, and many people bought intelligence from her purely for the sake of listening to the stories for fun and to eliminate the wrong options.

And Nian suddenly transformed herself into a hot-handed arms dealer in the war zone. Compared with other low-level arms dealers who relied on stealing, cheating and robbing, Nian completed the industry iteration. She had a fixed source of goods, and all the guns she sold were produced by herself!

The principle is very simple, just like the pirated model manufacturers in later generations, they first bought the Guardian Gun from the Lateran deserters at a small price. These guys who have lost their faith will often sell their treasures at a low price for a pack of cigarettes or other things.

In 2017, she disassembled the "prototype" she had obtained, reverse-engineered the structure of the gun, and after figuring out the linkage relationships, she began to "remake the mold", that is, using her delicate hands to restore the details of each part one by one, and finally assembled and shipped them in batches.

No one knows how many guns she manufactured and sold during World War I, and no one knows how much she earned from it. All we know is that she never worried again after World War I and was obsessed with shooting inexplicable films every day.

In 1989, she was very brand-conscious and printed the logos on all the weapons she produced. In order to highlight the high-end of her products, she chose to name her brand with the characters of other countries. Because the Yan people at that time had a kind of "foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures", just like some Yan-made beverages and snacks in later generations would be printed with Eastern characters.

So on the one hand, they claim that they are selling domestic products, while on the other hand, they try to act superior and take advantage of the popularity outside.

At that time, Nian asked Kel'tsit to give her brand a fashionable and powerful name. Kel'tsit casually said the word "Raythean", and Nian thought it was very domineering and adopted it.

Kal'tsit would never have dreamed that the company she casually named would develop in this land for a thousand years, starting from the initial guns and ammunition and slowly expanding to other fields such as cold weapon design and vehicle production.

The company name in 1996 was translated as "Thor", which developed from the initial "Thor Arms" to the later "Thor Industries".
