Chapter 683 - 683 362 Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist (4200)_1

Chapter 683: 362 Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist (4200)_1 Chapter 683: 362 Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist (4200)_1 The present era is called the Hong Li Federation. But one hundred and fifty-six years ago, this land was a vast empire.

The Hong Li Empire, the empire was divided into two periods, a monarchical system in the early days and a constitutional monarchy later on. The Dawn Revolution marked the dividing line between the two.

After that revolution, the Hong Li empire was no longer ruled by the royal family, but became a form of power divided among the king, the prime minister, and the council. It achieved a de facto republic, while nominally not being a republic. A greater revolution occurred later on.

The royal family disappeared completely.

The Hong Li Empire became the Hong Li Federation.

This is the change on the timeline. Since Casio has the ability to look back at the past through antiques, he naturally needs to understand some of this knowledge, such as the customs and power situations of the era he is about to look back, as well as changes in language.

Otherwise, if he goes back to a time too long ago, Casio won’t even understand the ancient language, and that would be completely embarrassing.

But the good news is that this land of the Hong Li Federation has always used a certain script, with thousands of years of history.

He can at least express his intentions through writing.

Of course, this is just a joke. Now that Casio has established a force and has an organization specifically for collecting Obsession Antiques and Legendary Antiques, he naturally has more choices.

Under normal circumstances, he won’t go too far back in time. When he arrives in the Era of Retrospection to fulfill obsessions, at the very least, Casio needs to be able to communicate normally with others. If even that is impossible, he would just be making trouble for himself.

Anyways, since he has Legendary Antiques that are closer on the timeline, he can choose. When comparing the two, there’s no need to say who he would choose.

The sky is blue-clear, and the thin white clouds are like petals gathered together, blocking almost half of the scorching sun. Today is a rare sunny day in a month’s time.

The sunlight is intense, but it doesn’t sting when it hits the skin. Instead, it feels relatively warm because of the cold air. Casio sits shirtless on the sofa, showing his strong upper body.

The contours of his sweat-soaked muscles vaguely carry a hint of honey color, giving a full texture. But these sweats soon start to evaporate, instantly turning into a mist and dissipating.

Casio’s rock-white body becomes dry and comfortable again.

He pondered for a moment, and went through the information once again.

The information was about that mask, as for the other Legendary Antique firearm, it’s still being processed. Compared to the conspicuous mask, a standard firearm is undoubtedly trickier.

The information describes..

The mask’s name “Dark Hunt”, coincidence has it that there’s another name: “Black Mechanism”

Attention should be paid, this Black Mechanism is not that Black Mechanism. The Black Mechanism of the Hong Li Federation era is just an inheritance of the name from the Hong Li Empire era, used as the title of an institution.

To avoid confusion, Casio prefers to call the organization of the mask “Dark Hunt”, which is the original nickname of the organization.

But because its official name can be confused with the present Black Mechanism, he made a substitution for differentiation.

This organization, Dark Hunt, like the present Black Mechanism in the Hong Li Federation era, are both official supernatural forces.

In the early stages of the Hong Li Empire, Dark Hunt only obeyed the orders of the imperial royal family. In the later stages, it was governed by the king, council, and prime minister, playing the role that the Black Mechanism does now. Its main responsibility is to battle with dark creatures and to a certain extent, supervise the supernatural powers within the Hong Li Empire.

The mask that Casio acquired belonged to a combat member of the Dark Hunt organization. Some of these members were personally groomed by the Dark Hunt organization from a young age, while others were outsiders who passed an examination.

The design and logo on the masks of these two types of members are different.

The one Casio has is from an outsider who joined the organization.

It’s notable that the Dark Hunt Organization seems to have a supernatural method to raise its own members. It’s not Secret Martial Art, but a kind of holy spring water. The spring water seems to hold extraordinary power.

After drinking it, one can greatly nourish their physical strength.

This birthed various unimaginable abilities.

With this, combined with the secret techniques recorded in the ancient books in the Royal Library for hundreds of years, the organization’s overall strength is very strong.

However, according to the data, at the end of the Hong Li Empire, the Dark Hunt organization entered a noticeable period of decline, and the strength and number of members decreased drastically over several decades.

This also planted a hidden danger for the complete downfall of the empire.

Here, Casio analyzed the reasons personally. He thinks that it is mostly due to problems with the holy spring under the control of the empire.

This kind of external thing is the easiest to fluctuate.

Borrowing external force, borrowing external objects, perhaps they can achieve explosive power for a certain period, but over a long time, it will inevitably rebound. Of course, unreasonable cheats are an exception.

The holy spring of the Dark Hunt organization is not as simple as external objects or external forces, but it is directly considered as a foundation. When the foundation is not solid, the house built on it naturally becomes shaky. Casio speculates that the holy spring of the later empire most likely entered a dry period, or the effectiveness of the spring water had weakened.

Moreover, this conjecture could even be extended to the Black Mechanism of the Hong Li Federation era. Why was there no Black Mechanism when the Hong Li Federation was newly born? But appeared later on.
