Chapter 1132: Chapter 394 Professional Team_4

Poluo Advanced Military Command Academy.

On the map of Poluo, there was no such military command academy, and according to Christian’s memories, this was not a place for high-ranking officers to pursue further studies.

Wayne stopped the car as per the address, looked at the cathedral-style destination, asked the two guards to wait in the car, and proceeded inside in casual attire, holding a letter of introduction.

There was not a single soldier inside or outside.

Or rather, no one was dressed in a military uniform; the passing clergy all had stiff smiles, giving off the impression of machinery wrapped in human skin; chilling at first glance and only making one want to flee the place immediately.

"Sir, may I help you?" A neatly dressed priest came forward, his smile gentle.

"I am here..."

Wayne took out the introduction letter: "Excuse me for asking, but have I come to the right place?"

Seeing the introduction letter, the priest’s smile remained unchanged and he nodded: "Correct, this is the advanced military command academy for officer training, please follow me."

The priest led Wayne into the confessional, and after they took their seats, the priest opened a small sliding door in the partition and placed a broken red stone in front of Wayne.

The Philosopher’s Stone?

Wayne raised an eyebrow; a red stone the size of a fingernail, a fragment of the Philosopher’s Stone.

Or rather, an incomplete Philosopher’s Stone.

Wayne did not touch it immediately, unsure of its significance, he asked: "Sir, what does this stone signify?"

"Just call me ’Father’."

The smiling priest said: "You have received this letter of introduction, which means your loyalty and abilities are outstanding among your peers. You are qualified to understand the truth of The Empire, and are ready to protect this secret with your life, right?"

"Yes."

Wayne sprung to his feet, saluting at a forty-five-degree angle, and passionately shouted a slogan.

This approach would never fail in Prussia; even the priest’s rigid smiling face showed a trace of warmth as he said: "We do not teach military theory at this academy, what you can get here is only the truth."

"This stone is called the Philosopher’s Stone, it harbors miraculous power inside, the force of evolution, the highest pinnacle of The Empire’s technology, it is also the power we use to conquer all adversaries, even gods."

"..."

Father, you are somewhat off the mark.

Not to mention that this is just a fragment of an incomplete Philosopher’s Stone, even a complete Philosopher’s Stone was only a demigod during its lifetime.

A demigod’s power can conquer a country, but not a church, much less the gods behind it.

Wayne was utterly disappointed; he thought he would see a groundbreaking masterpiece, yet it was just a Philosopher’s Stone.

"Upon hearing about gods, do you feel bewildered, thinking I am spouting nonsense?"

The priest chuckled: "No need to argue, the Philosopher’s Stone is the magnum opus of Alchemy, also known as the fifth element, stone of miracles, it involves too much, too profound a knowledge, tied to magic, worlds apart from the education you received before."

"The Empire’s soldiers are mostly common people, we possess an unbeatable spirit and a belief that loyalty is honor, but these are not enough..."

"Your doubts lie within this stone, accept it, and you will understand everything."

Father’s slightly rigid voice, sounded much like the low whisper of a Devil, Wayne nodded blankly, and raised his hand to hold the fragment of the Philosopher’s Stone in his palm.

The Book of Greed swept through it.

In an instant, a stream of strange knowledge surged in, unlike the knowledge of nature and death, The Book of Greed inserted this information into its cover skin.

Images and texts appeared in Wayne’s mind, explaining to him what true power was.

Humans have limitations, weak of flesh and blood, doomed to experience life, aging, illness, and Death.

To evolve, one must change oneself.

Prussia developed a new evolutionary path, scientifically known as Mechanized Armament.

Among countless possibilities of evolution, mechanization has the most potential, it can replace human’s frail bodies, transmit neural signals through machinery, integrate human thoughts with a blank slate of machinery, and achieve true immortality by changing mechanical bodies.

Machinery, possessing endless possibilities. Once obtaining a mechanical vessel, one not only lives forever but also gains extraordinary powers.

From the simplest prosthetics, to brains fitted in petri dishes, guiding mechanical bodies with neural signals, to the ultimate freedom of switching between human and machinery, becoming an unprecedented evolutionary route on the God-chosen Continent.

Different images and texts transition, showcasing the inspiration sources for Mechanized Armament and the ultimate conceptual diagrams.

In the last image, amidst the vast Cosmos, fleets of Interstellar Warships shuttle, undefeated wherever they go.

"Sss-hiss!"

Wayne swallowed, his eyes shining, scratching his head in excitement.

The thick and rigid cannon barrel captivated him instantly.

Tell me, who wouldn’t want to carry a main cannon of a Battleship with a caliber over four hundred millimeters, soul-enticing with a single shot?

Big is justice!

Caliber is the truth!

Seeing Wayne’s obsessed expression, Little Wayne hurried to advise, that’s false justice, all heresy, get up quickly, original and genuine is the best.

Little Wayne: Wake up, you traitor! The Sea God couldn’t persuade you, and now a mere pie-drawing PPT has got you?

Wayne: But the PPT has tank girls, machine girls, ship girls, so many wives, whether it’s pie or not, just tell me if it’s enticing or not!

Little Wayne: Ah, it does seem pretty enticing.

Wayne, his eyes blazing, exclaimed excitedly: "Father, I’ve seen a new world, a door is opening before me, the Devil’s power pales in comparison, I feel the power I’ve obtained is far from enough, what should I do to continue getting stronger?"

Between the lines, he meant: where is the warehouse.

"Don’t rush, the war has just begun, you have plenty of time to familiarize yourself with the new power."

Wayne was visibly excited, something Father anticipated; nobody could resist the charm of machinery, he slowly stated: "From time to time, someone will provide you with a small piece of the Philosopher’s Stone, you are a soldier, to gain more evolution, you must achieve military honors on the battlefield, exchanging medals for your future."

Oh lad, having evolved and still having to grind.

Wayne nodded repeatedly: "When is the next time, should I find you at the church?"

"No need, your information has already been logged, after the network assessment is over, someone will naturally find you."

"..."

Seriously, do we even have a local network?

Have we launched satellites yet?
