Deep Sea Embers

Facing the power of the words "Four Gods Witness", Sarah Meyer finally reluctantly agreed with Lucrecia's judgment.

No matter what the nature of the stars mentioned by the sea witch is, no matter what the real way of existence of Duncan Abu Nomar is today, at least, the leaders of the pilgrimage ark who can directly communicate with the four gods have made a similar response to the loss of their homeland. If there is a decision called "cooperation", then this decision itself is a very strong "evidence".

Or to put it in a more extreme way - if even the judgments and instructions given by the four gods are wrong, then it doesn't matter if the disaster is not a disaster, and "the four gods are wrong" itself is the biggest disaster.

"We know very little about the subspace. All the laws of the real world may be subverted in that area." Lucrezia turned her head and looked through the French windows of the office, as if looking at the sea in the distance , and at the same time said unhurriedly, "The Lost Homeland 'returned' from the subspace to our real world, and a series of changes will inevitably occur. The Foghorn became what it is today, but what about the Lost Home, submerged in the Warp for a century? Where is my father?

"There are many things that should have been expected."

She withdrew her gaze from the window and turned her head to gaze quietly into Sarah Meyer's eyes.

"Frankly, I don't even care now how much of his 'essence' is the original Duncan Abu Normare—even if there is only one gleam in the starlight that belongs to him, I am willing to give up for that one." Shimmer to meet him, as long as he remains on the side of 'mortals' as a whole, that's enough."

Listening to the witch's calm narration, Sarah Meyer's eyes changed a few times, and finally she sighed: "Yeah, at least that's a friendly existence, and it's better than a real subspace ghost."

Lucrezia didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"How is the situation of Talan scholar?" Sarah Meyer asked after a moment of silence, "It is said that he fell into a 'dream crisis', and you and your father solved it together?"

"Yes, I'm going to say this next," Lucrezia straightened her expression immediately, and said quite seriously, "The so-called 'dream' that Master Taran Ayer fell into is probably more important than yours. It's more complicated than imagined, my father confirmed some information related to those heretics..."

In the next ten minutes, she told the Consul in front of her everything she knew, including the purpose of those Annihilation Cultists and the situation of the Son of the Sun she saw in the dream.

And after that, she mentioned the information from the city-state of Purand by the way—about the fourth long night mentioned by the "final missionary" and those nagging "sermons".

Sarah Meyer listened intently with a serious expression, without interrupting the whole time.

It wasn't until Lucrezia's voice fell, and the office was quiet for more than ten seconds, that the consul with rich life experience slowly nodded.

"Dream of the Nameless... There is no such word in the cultural system of the elves, but it really sounds reminiscent of the 'dream of creation' of the demon god Sasloka," said Sara Mel. Thinking, "However, if such a huge 'dream' really exists, why has no one discovered its existence for thousands of years? Those pagans said that elves are the 'channels' leading to this dream, but As far as I know, nothing like Taran Ayer has ever happened before."

"We have also discussed this, and the most likely explanation is that the appearance of the dream of the unknown is also one of the signs and evidences that the 'fourth long night' is approaching."

Sarah Meyer reacted immediately: "It means..."

"The Dream of the Nameless One may have only recently appeared, or 'manifested'," Lucrezia said solemnly, "It may have been dormant, or 'suppressed', so no one has ever noticed It exists, but as the Fourth Long Night approaches, it gradually becomes active..."

Sarah Meyer didn't speak, his brows were tightly locked, and then he slowly raised his head, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window - the "sun" locked by the double rune circle is passing the highest point in the sky, and will soon arrive at It's afternoon.

After some time, he finally broke the silence softly, repeating the "sermons" of those final missionaries as if talking to himself——

"...Dusk is approaching, and the sun begins to become 'mild', so those who were exiled and erased began to return to this world..."

...

At the gate, Nina carefully checked her clothes and the things she wanted to bring.

The temperature in this southern city-state is much higher than that of Purland. Even though it is cooler in the late autumn, she still has to wear light clothes when going out—she put on her favorite skirt and matched it with a newly bought Light sandals, the mood will become happy together.

I brought keys, small change, and a map in the small bag when I went out. According to Ms. Lucrezia’s reminder, I also brought incense tablets and potions for repelling mosquitoes. It should be considered complete.

In the end, there are friends to take with me when I go out.

Nina turned her head and looked in Shirley's direction.

Shirley was still wearing her favorite dress, and she was squatting on the ground buckling the straps of her sandals. Noticing the gaze from the side, she raised her head: "What's wrong, Nina?"

Nina laughed: "Have you decided where to go shopping?"

Although they were greatly shocked when they tasted the "local specialties" before, the two girls even had the urge to go back to the boat for a while, but in the end Nina and Shirley still did not put this urge into practice.

This is a rare shore trip in a long sea voyage, and it cannot be wasted after all.

"I don't know where to go," Shirley stood up, and patted the dust off her skirt, "Didn't the elf uncle recommend that there is a market two blocks away? Just go there—anyway I don't want to go to the so-called 'food street' anymore."

Nina nodded, and then glanced at the small bag on the other side's waist: "Have you brought mosquito repellent water? There are more mosquitoes in this city than Prand."

"Well," Shirley patted the small bag on her waist, "Agou reminded me."

Nina showed a bright smile: "Okay, then let's go~"

The two girls walked down the steps in front of the gate, but at this moment, the door behind them suddenly heard the sound of the door lock opening and the door shaft turning.

Shirley was shocked for a moment, and when she turned her head, she saw a tall and majestic figure standing at the door, and she suddenly became nervous.

"I...we want to go out for a stroll..." Before Duncan could speak, Shirley said in a panic, "I've already told Mr. Morris..."

"Let's not go far," Nina said with a bright smile, "just go to the nearby market."

"I know." Duncan just nodded lightly, then walked in front of the two girls, his gaze fell on Shirley.

The latter retracted his neck almost reflexively, and held back for several seconds before opening his mouth cautiously: "I...or I won't go..."

"Here." Duncan interrupted her, and then handed over a few banknotes.

Shirley stared blankly at the banknotes that had been delivered to her, but didn't react for a while.

"Aren't you going to the market?" Duncan's voice woke her up from her stupor. "This is today's pocket money—don't spend it all at once. Nina's has already been given."

Shirley was still in a daze, until Agou's reminder sounded in her mind, she suddenly realized, hesitantly took the small bills, and then turned her face away, as if to divert the embarrassment He muttered as if: "I thought you were going to arrest me and go back to do my homework..."

Duncan didn't care about the other party's reaction, he looked at the two girls in front of him, and casually reminded: "Don't come back too late, try not to go to other urban areas, if you get lost, call me, I'll send Ai to pick you up... ..."

"Hey, I got it," Nina waved her hands again and again. Although her tone seemed impatient, the smile on her face was as bright as ever. Then she came over and took Shirley's arm, and pulled her towards the intersection. Go, "Then we're off! We'll be back before evening!"

Shirley was dragged over in such a dazed way, she turned her head to look at Duncan in the middle, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just smiled suddenly, while being dragged away by Nina He waved his hand this way.

Duncan watched the two girls disappear at the opposite intersection, and after a while, he retracted his gaze and landed on the open space not far away: "You came back from the city hall?"

As his voice fell, Lucrezia's figure suddenly appeared in the empty space—like a mirage turning into reality, she walked out of the phantom with a little surprise on her face: "So you already found me?"

Duncan nodded: "I saw it from the beginning."

Lucrezia turned her head and looked at the direction where Nina and Shirley left just now.

At this moment, the expression on her face suddenly changed somewhat complicatedly, and there seemed to be many thoughts fluctuating in the depths of her eyes-maybe it was mixed with past memories, maybe mixed with inexplicable emotions, but in the end, she restrained herself. With all the changes in his eyes, when he turned his head to look at Duncan, there was only a faint smile left on his face.

For some reason, Duncan suddenly felt that this "witch" seemed to be in a better mood—very, very good.

"Talan El has left?" Lucrecia asked suddenly.

"Leaving half an hour ago, he said he was worried about his research room," Duncan nodded, and then asked, "What did you talk about with that consul in the city hall?"

"The church has issued an announcement to every city-state, and the warning you sent to the world is now beginning to take effect..."
