Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 613 The sun that cannot be taken away

Fanna felt that her brain was a little insufficient.

She was no stranger to this feeling of not having enough brain power - when she was a student, she had this feeling every time she listened to Mr. Morris's lectures, but since she entered adolescence, she has successfully replaced most of the brain's work with muscles. After that, I didn't feel this way for many years.

Now, that familiar feeling is back.

She looked at the "glowing ball" in the giant's hand and blinked several times before she understood the other person's words and the thing in his hand rationally and literally, but her emotional part was still confused - this was... …the sun that this world once was?

"Want to touch it?" The giant looked at Vanna's stiff look, smiled friendly, and handed the "sun" in his hand to Vanna, "It's not hot anymore."

Fanna felt that this sentence was weirder than ever before, but she didn't know how to react.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she stretched out her hand out of nowhere - with a feeling that she couldn't explain, she curiously touched the luminous ball in the giant's hand.

It was only as big as a fist—a human fist. But in the hands of a giant, it looked like a delicate bead. There seemed to be many delicate structures running on the surface of the bead, and there were fine flames surging out. It moves, with alternating light and dark areas, and from time to time, some hair-like light rises up and falls back to the surface.

It feels only slightly warm to the touch, like hot water slightly above body temperature.

Vanna was in a daze. She thought of the familiar appearance of the sun - rising from the sea every day, carrying a brilliant double runic ring, which could bring light and warmth to the entire world. It was a "miracle" of astonishing scale, a The ancient grand "vision".

At the same time, she also remembered that the captain said that the sun had another appearance, a more brilliant and larger appearance - not long ago, the captain began to try to tell his followers some knowledge originating from subspace, Among that knowledge is the concept of stars and the universe.

To be honest, Vanna didn't understand the captain's teachings very well. Even Mr. Morris and Miss Lucretia didn't seem to understand them completely. But at least Vanna understood one thing... No matter what kind of sun it is, it doesn't matter. It should be a... small ball as big as a fist.

The warm "little sun" left his hand.

The giant sat on the ground on the edge of the pit. He put the "sun" in the palm of his hand and put his hand on his lap. He lowered his eyes, as if immersed in memories and thinking. After a long time, he whispered: "They are full of energy." They are intelligent and good at using various methods to explain the operation of the world. Although they are naturally weak, they can rely on 'science' to fight against things that are much more powerful than them. I have always thought that if they were still around, if That they have developed to this day may explain what is going on with this 'sun'...

"But when it fell, the world had become quiet, the last person had turned into the tower, and those smart minds and fantastic insights had disappeared from this world - and I couldn't think of it. Understand this."

Vanna was silent for a long time, but she was not just silent - she was telling the captain what happened here.

She tells the captain that she may have found the "sun" the cultists mentioned at the meeting.

It's in the hand of this giant who calls himself a god, and it looks like... it can actually be "taken away" with just one hand.

The giant didn't seem to care about Vanna's silence and her communication with some unknown existences at the conscious level. Memories enveloped this lonely god of the past. He stared at the small thing in his hand for a long time, which once illuminated the world. The "star" shining on his mortal people took a long time before he said to himself: "I have been thinking, thinking about what destroyed this place... It did not happen in an instant, Traveler , it’s a long process.”

"Process?" Fanna immediately noticed the word.

The giant nodded and spoke in his memory: "At first, it was some abnormal phenomena that could not be explained by existing knowledge. Clouds suddenly disappeared and appeared suddenly, there were flashes of unknown origin in the atmosphere, there was something wrong with the weather, and the plants were no longer normal. grow;

“Then the anomalies began to ripple into deeper, more disturbing realms—gravity was shifting, and the passage of time was ruptured everywhere;

"During this process, we observed the increasingly intense red light, like a crack, which diffused from the sky, seemed to be constant in the sky and covered our world, distorting the starlight in the distance, some kind of... 'Deformation' has eroded the world, and no one can do anything about it.

“That’s when the archives started.”

The giant stopped suddenly when he said this, and looked at the tall tower again. It seemed that because he was not used to communicating with others, he would always suddenly fall into thinking or lose his mind in the middle of speaking, but soon, he would stop again. He opened his mouth and said:

"The long process came to a quick end. When the archives were destroyed, I briefly felt...that something 'touched' our world, something that took a long time to get closer and move in. The process of getting closer led to the long doomsday, and its final 'touch' was the final arrival and end of destruction. However, a long time passed, and I still couldn't figure out what that 'thing' was. .”

"You said you felt something 'touching' the world?" Fanna couldn't help but open her eyes wide. Unknowingly, she had already used honorifics when talking to the giant, "Are you serious?" Haven't you 'seen' what that thing is?"

The giant recalled it seriously and showed a hint of apology to Vanna: "Sorry, Traveler, I can see that you care about this, but what I said is all I know."

Vanna pursed her lips, she had to suppress the regret in her heart, and then her eyes fell on the "little sun" in the giant's hand.

We cannot let this thing really fall into the hands of the heirs and remnants of Black Sun.

After much hesitation, she finally decided to be more honest.

"There are people with malicious intentions, and they have set their sights on the 'sun' in your hand... I don't know if they will find this place, and I don't know how to explain their origins to you, but..."

As soon as she was halfway through speaking, the giant raised his hand again and placed the "light ball" in front of her: "Do you want to take it away?"

The giant spoke softly, with a smile on his face.

Fanna was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hand after she realized what she was doing: "No, that's not what I meant. You may have misunderstood..."

"It's okay, Traveler," the giant interrupted Vanna again, and he still said in that calm and friendly tone, "I can feel your kindness, and... I don't think you can necessarily take it from my hand. Walk it."

Vanna was slightly startled. After realizing that the giant was not joking, she finally hesitantly stretched out her hand to the luminous sphere - this time not to touch it, but to try to pick it up.

The warm touch came again, and Vanna felt like she was holding an entity. However, when she was about to exert force, the touch suddenly disappeared.

The sphere became a phantom and passed through her palm.

She looked at the sun that she couldn't pick up with some surprise.

"I don't know when, it became a part of me," the giant's voice came from the side, "Maybe it was the day I picked it up... One phantom picked up another phantom, and it can no longer be seen. separated.

"Traveller, if you can't take it away, then it seems that those people with bad intentions in your mouth can't take it away either."

The giant stood up from the ground.

He patted the sand on his robe, carefully put the "sun" close to his body, and then bent down to pick up the huge cane: "It's time for us to go, traveler."

Fanna subconsciously asked: "Where are you going?"

"Walking around in the world, there are many things here. Although you can't see their appearance now, I want to introduce you to their stories and appearance in the past." The giant turned his head and looked at the sea of ​​sand in the distance, "You too You can tell me on the way about the origins of those 'people with bad intentions' - this world has been dead for many years, and I haven't talked to people for too long. This is the first time I have heard... news from outsiders. ."

He paused, lowered his head and glanced at Vanna: "I have almost forgotten what curiosity is, thank you for reminding me."

"Why don't we go take a look down there?" Fanna pointed to the tall tower in the center of the pit, "I thought..."

"There is nothing to see there anymore. What you see here is all of it." The giant shook his head and turned and walked away. "Let's go, it's getting dark again. The alternation between day and night here is always very strange." Quick, but maybe we can reach another ruin before dusk – one that once looked out over the sea.”

After listening to the giant's words, Fanna looked back at the "high tower". She said goodbye silently in her heart, then turned around and followed the giant who had already walked more than ten meters away.

Duncan sat behind the chart table and remained in this position for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he took a deep breath.

Vanna found the "sun" and found it in a very...unbelievable state.

But for some reason, after hearing the situation reported by Fanna, apart from the initial surprise and confusion, he had no other emotion. Even the surprise quickly faded, leaving only one feeling... "So that's it." a feeling of.

Maybe it's because he has witnessed the ten-meter-diameter "moon" with his own eyes, or maybe because he has long seen a "solar prominence" that can jump on the deck. After surviving in this weird and twisted world for so long, he The receptive ability has been fully exercised.

Then there is only one question left——

Vanna can't take away the "sun".

This can be a bit unsettling.
