Deep Sea Embers

Those lines are moving.

Duncan heard Alice's exclamation, and he woke up from his meditation instantly. He suddenly raised his head and looked out the window, and that unforgettable scene came into his eyes——

On the sea surface where Qingfeng Port once stood, the invisible threads that are as lush as hair and intertwined like mist are undergoing drastic changes. The stretching "gauze mist" is slowly expanding and contracting, and is undergoing drastic changes between reality and reality. , it gradually reshaped itself into a certain form. The parts on the sea surface were shrinking, condensing, and rising, while the structure floating in the clouds slowly expanded, branching out into criss-crossing branches, and like another layer of Like the sky, it slowly hangs down towards the end of the sea.

An indescribable sense of pressure from a huge object came from the constantly condensing and changing virtual image. The entire sea area began to be gradually enveloped by the invisible crown, and it was not until this moment that Duncan finally saw the clue - it was a tree.

Those "silk threads" floating on the sea are intertwining like hair into a giant tree, a "World Tree" that can cover the entire sea area!

Rune held on to the table and stood up with difficulty. The old elf who relied on his own willpower to resist Silendis's call seemed to be on the verge of reaching his limit at this moment. He was also looking out the window - without Alice's power, he could not see When he came to those invisible threads, the sea area was still empty to him, but suddenly, large areas of shadow appeared on the empty sea area - the originally invisible lines began to gradually appear to the naked eye. Visible outline.

He saw the tree, the towering tree that was growing rapidly and spread out from the dreamland of the elves' race.

"That's..." Lu En's eyes widened for a moment, and some kind of memory and emotion that seemed to be sleeping deep in his soul came out like a tide, causing him to subconsciously mutter to himself, "Silantis... Xi Landis is here to pick us up..."

But the next second, his eyes suddenly regained their clarity. Lachem's power forcibly dragged his mind back to the real world. He pressed his forehead hard: "Captain Duncan, Silendis's awakening will be until the next one." stage...she is recalling her original appearance..."

A melodious and loud whistle suddenly came from nearby. It was the patrol ark parked at the edge of the sea area, which was warning the entire fleet. The whistle seemed to be mixed with urging. The personnel staying behind the ark seemed to be worried about the safety of the Pope.

Lu En raised his hand and quickly sketched a few shimmering characters in the air.

Duncan noticed his behavior immediately: "What are you doing?"

“I ordered the Ark and the convoy fleet to stay away from Silantis immediately,” Rune said quickly. “There are many elves on those ships. Although they have not been affected yet, they cannot stay in this sea area any longer. "

Duncan immediately asked: "What about you?"

"This is exactly what I want to... say," Lu En seemed to be in a daze for a moment, but he quickly recovered, "Take me into the dreamland of Silantis - the deepest place in the dreamland. I want to directly communicate with you. That 'Guardian' communicates..."

"Communicate?" Duncan frowned tightly, "Don't tell me that you plan to rely on your eloquence and sincerity to persuade an 'ancient god' who has fallen into madness to regain his consciousness."

"No, I have other ways that may have an impact on her..."

Duncan looked at the old elf quietly for a moment. When the second evacuation whistle of the Church Ark came from nearby, he finally broke the silence: "How can you be sure that I can take you into the depths of Silantis' dream?" Where?"

Rune calmed down and met Duncan's eyes: "Because the moment I established contact with Silantis, I saw the Lost Home - even though it was sailing in the darkness of the border, I was convinced that it was Proof that you were able to establish communication with Silantis.”

Listening to the old pope's description, Duncan's expression did not change, but his heart suddenly moved.

What the other party is talking about...is the scene seen from Selendis's "perspective"?

A plan that was only vague before suddenly took direction. Duncan's eyes then looked at the navigation table next to him, and fell on the keel sample on the table.

Lu En was a little uneasy because of Duncan's sudden silence, and couldn't help but confirm: "...You have a way, right?"

"...The situation now has some changes compared to before, but..." Duncan still looked at the square piece of wood on the table, but gradually, a smile appeared on his face, "Yes, I have I have an idea, and I am planning to try it, but I can give you a ride. The only problem is... the next voyage may be a bit exciting."

Lu En was stunned when he heard this: "...exciting?"

"Have you ever experienced riding a ghost ship and sailing through the nightmare of an ancient god?"

…

When the whistling sound came from the street, Lucretia was confirming with Taran El the strange scene that the other party saw in the last moment of the Nameless One's dream, and what the other party heard in the trance. , the voice from Silantis.

Taran El said that he saw the scene of the destruction of the world before the end of the Dream of the Nameless One, and that was most likely a scene imprinted deep in the memory of the elven race. It is the story about the beginning of the Deep Sea Age that scholars of all ages have been searching for. The memory of the Great Annihilation, he also said that he heard a voice that was suspected of being Silantis. The anger and panic in the voice seemed to reveal a secret - Lucretia felt that she seemed to have touched the most profound part of this dream. The ultimate truth, but just when she wanted to continue questioning, a strange roar instantly swept through the entire city-state.

She stood up suddenly and came to the window.

The scene she saw in front of her made the "sea witch" suffocate instantly, and she was stunned for a short time.

The "sky" above the city is burning, and the roaring flames are coming across the sky, sweeping across the layered tree crowns above Qingfeng Harbor like huge waves sweeping from the depths of an endless nightmare, as well as the chaotic and dirty atmosphere between the tree crowns. In the sky, the flames were like a blanket, covering everything, screaming and leaping into every street under the canopy of trees, rushing like a flood, swallowing every inch of land in sight.

This gave her a feeling - as if the forest extending from the dreamland suddenly "transformed" into a flame entity, and then the flame entity began to burn the city-state.

At the moment when the flames suddenly descended, explosions, screams, the loud noise of the steam walker running out of control and hitting the building, and all kinds of noise and loud noises filled the entire city-state almost instantly!

This astonishing change happened so suddenly that Lucretia felt an unreal sense of tearing apart for a moment. She stood at the window in a daze, staring blankly at the scene outside the window. After two seconds, her eyes moved upward involuntarily, as if attracted by something, and looked at the burning sky.

In the flames that had covered the entire sky, she saw that some kind of huge structure was gradually emerging, like a materialized "Sun of Destruction" that was constantly crushing down from the sky, descending on everything inch by inch. Head of human head.

……what is that?

This question subconsciously popped up in Lucretia's mind, and the next second, the exclamation from behind finally woke her up from her temporary sluggishness.

"The name of Lachem!" A knowledge guard stared out the window and exclaimed, "What is that!?"

Even Taran El, who had never been in a good state, with noise and pain lingering in his mind, stood up from his chair, staggered to Lucretia's side, and looked at the sky engulfed in flames outside. Streets with chaos.

Confusion and fear appeared in the scholar's eyes. He seemed unable to imagine that Qingfeng Port would suddenly fall into such a horrific scene - even if the forest that spread from the Dream of the Nameless Man had swallowed up the entire city. At this moment, the scene outside the window still gave him an unreal feeling of falling into another level of nightmare, which made him couldn't help but mutter to himself: "It's just a nightmare..."

"No, Master Taran El," Lucretia's voice suddenly came from the side, awakening Taran El from his trance. He saw the witch lady turning her head, her eyes like the sea. So profound, "This is a nightmare."

There was a moment of confusion on Taran El's face, and the brilliance of the flame was gradually reflected in Lucretia's eyes.

She saw that the room was falling apart, and the figures in the room were gradually curling and deforming in the flames. She saw the firelight in the sky passing through the roof, turning into streaks of cold sunlight sweeping through the air. She saw a figure emerging in the distance. A giant tree - it rises from the sea, as if it is part of the city-state's spread.

She stepped forward and put her hand on Taran El's shoulder.

“My father said that Qingfeng Port has disappeared into the real world, and now there is only a blank space on that sea.

"Mr. Taran El, we haven't woken up from the beginning - the whole city is still asleep.

"But Sirantes is about to wake up from his dream..."

She exerted a little force and pushed Taran El forward, who had been stagnant like a stone sculpture for some time.

"Let's go and see what Silendis dreamed about."

The next second, under the blazing flames and the falling sky, Qingfeng Harbor slowly and quietly disintegrated.

At the last moment when the flames swept across, it turned into bubbles, streamers, smoke, wind, and whispers. Its last shadow was reflected on the calm sea, reflecting the remaining firelight and twisted and torn scenes. Like an illusion, it was gradually swallowed up by the breaking waves.

Amidst the undulating waves, a huge shadow was gradually growing up from the bottom of the sea - it seemed to be a huge tree.

And on the edge of this giant tree that is constantly growing from the bottom of the sea, there is another shadow that is real and illusory, slowly moving.

It was a ghost ship that was gradually emerging.
