Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 653 Stepping towards the mist

The flame on the alchemy table began to burn silently, and the liquid in the flask was bubbling. Lachem's gaze came from the fog deep in his mind. Rune felt that his consciousness was being drawn to a dark and deep place—— After passing through an illusory and long dark "tunnel", he saw several glimmers of light at the end of the tunnel.

Those were his old friends - Helena, Banster, and Frame.

He came to those figures, and before he could say hello to Helena, he was the first to break the silence: "You seem to be in good condition, Luen - it seems that we don't have to worry about the Academy of Truth needing a new pope. .”

"Thank you for your 'concern'. It seems that I haven't been summoned by the Lord for a while yet," Lu En glared at Helena, but it was clear that he didn't mind at all in his tone. Then he turned to the others and gently Nodding, "I've kept you waiting for a long time - I need some time to restore order on the Ark and my own condition."

Frame, who was tall and had rock-like skin, carefully looked at the state of Rune's soul projection and said in a low voice, "Is the incident resolved?"

"Solved," Luen nodded and said, "Order in Qingfeng Port is being restored, and the elves in other parts of the world should also wake up one after another. The worst thing has not happened after all."

"...We want to know more information," Banster said on the side. The tall and thin old man who followed the God of Death had a solemn expression. "The scope of the impact of this incident is far greater than that of Plande and Frost. It It directly affected a 'race', and pointed directly to the history before the Deep Sea Age...What happened in Qingfeng Port?"

Rune was silent for a moment, his eyes swept between several figures, and finally fell on the leader of the Fire Messengers, Frame. After a moment of consideration, he finally spoke in a deep voice: "With the help of Captain Duncan, I Witnessed the occurrence of the 'Great Annihilation' - the ultimate truth of our world, far beyond anyone's imagination."

Afterwards, he told the three old friends in front of him everything that happened in the deepest part of the Dream of the Nameless One, including the big impact that destroyed two worlds, as well as the information about the Sen'jin's home world, without hiding anything. Tell the truth.

Obviously, even for the followers of the Four Gods, this information was too shocking - after Rune's words fell, the dark space supported by the echo of psychic energy fell into a long period of silence.

"The...collision and fusion of worlds?" After an unknown amount of time, Helena was the first to break the silence. She stared into Lu En's eyes in the darkness, "What you mean is that the 'World Drifting Theory' has been verify?"

"It can only be said that it is more extreme than the 'World Drift'... You have not seen that scene with your own eyes, so it is difficult for you to imagine the terrifying process of the 'impact'. It is the annihilation and reshaping of all things, the annihilation and reshaping of all things in the world. Everything turned into a dark and chaotic 'primordial soup' in a very short period of time. It looked... like a subspace. And there were definitely not only two worlds that 'collided' at that time, there were probably dozens or hundreds of them. Two worlds collided at the same time, and the memory of 'Silantis' is just a corner of that great annihilation..."

Rune tried his best to describe his feelings when he saw that scene and the associations that came with it. During his description, the tall Frame remained silent and thinking. After a long time, The Sen'jin Pope, who was like a little giant, suddenly spoke: "Are you sure... that the giant traveling with Miss Vanna is the 'Eternal Burning Fire'?"

"That's the current clue." Lu En nodded with a serious expression. "That 'chronological pillar' is now on the Lost Home. I have seen it with my own eyes."

At this point, he suddenly paused and added very seriously: "But I want to remind you, if you want to take that thing away, it may not be easy..."

"I know," Frame shook his head before Rune finished speaking, "I will consider this matter seriously... The most important thing now is not the 'chronological pillar', but my lord's intelligence, or strictly It is the information of the 'Lord' that each of us serves."

He raised his head, looking at every figure on the scene as if there was invisible pressure in his eyes.

Others certainly knew what that last statement meant.

After all, in this world, they are the mortals closest to the Four Gods - in fact, they have already been able to feel what is behind that hazy and awe-inspiring veil.

"...The connection between us and the gods is becoming more and more difficult, and the role of the Ark Pilgrimage is gradually weakening," Bancet said slowly. "When the Ark was first established, I could almost listen directly in the meditation room. He heard the voice of the Lord, but now only a few years later, that voice has become a vague whisper."

"The Pilgrimage Ark is just an auxiliary anchor point. It can only strengthen our connection with the 'Lord', but it cannot really delay decay." Rune slowly shook his head. "When building these arks, we actually knew that sooner or later it would There will be such a day."

Banster fell silent. The tall and thin old man closed his eyes slightly, as if he was quietly feeling and listening to something. After a long time, he spoke softly: "Sometimes, I can almost smell them. The smell of decay..."

There was silence in the dark space for a while. After a long time, Lu En broke the silence in a low voice: "...Yes, we can all do it."

Banster turned his head and looked into Helena's eyes in the darkness: "...The fleet of the Deep Sea Church has been operating at the border for a long time. Have you made any progress?"

"The advance team is still wandering in the boundless fog," Helena said with a bit of frustration. "There are no routes or references in the depths of the fog. The sea and sky both present a strange texture, even with the 'View' Star Chamber' was used for navigation, and the heading error reached an unacceptable level... We tried to build several temporary lighthouses in areas where the fog was thinner, but this only allowed us to penetrate a limited distance into the fog... Going deeper, the lighthouse will be swallowed up by the fog.”

"Our fleet also encountered the same problem," Frame said on the side. "We entered the eternal curtain of the border through another gap. At first, the fog was relatively thin and the sea surface conditions were normal. But as soon as we went deeper, the fog It suddenly became thicker, and the lights set up disappeared into the fog as if they were swallowed by something out of thin air."

"This exploration operation has been going on for some time," Lu En said with a serious expression. "We have deployed patrol fleets from all over the world and gathered in large numbers in the border waters. This should have attracted the attention of many city-states. If we continue like this, Regardless of whether we can find the 'connection point' between the gods and the world, it will definitely arouse suspicion and panic among the world."

Several figures remained silent for a while. The Popes were each lost in thought. After several minutes, Helena suddenly said: "In history, only one person has ever truly gone deep into the 'border' and returned alive from the fog."

"...Yes, this is also the last thing I want to say when contacting you this time." Lu En nodded lightly. "'He' is also willing to establish further communication with the Four Gods Church - not with us. It's as simple as meeting one of them, but it's a truly in-depth 'cooperative' relationship."

This is obviously a very sensitive and hesitant topic. The other three figures did not speak for a while. Lu En then focused on Helena first: "You should be supportive - the person named The Saint of Vanna has lived on that ship for a long time, and you should have gotten a lot of information from her. I believe that you, like me, know a lot about the current situation of the ship and the status of the captain."

"Fanna...well, judging from the information sent back by Fanna, the captain is indeed trustworthy." Helena covered her forehead and rubbed it, but for some reason her words were a little awkward, "Sometimes I'm even doubting whose saint she is, as she has been showing too much trust in the 'Captain' recently."

"But at least you can be sure that she is still loyal to the faith - otherwise you will not hear her voice again through the blessing of the Storm Goddess," Rune laughed, "I saw your saint this time, although I haven’t had much contact with her, but I can feel that she is a... frank and real person, and her judgment of the captain is worthy of trust.”

"I also agree to have further communication with the captain, including direct contact with him and inviting him to participate in our current operations," Frame also said on the side, "Although I have no saints who were abducted aboard that ship , but I trust Lu En’s judgment, and no matter what, I need to see that ‘Chronicle’ with my own eyes…”

Helena and Rune said in unison: "Can you stop bringing up the topic of 'Saints being abducted on ships' every time?!"

Frame spread his hands and said, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Then the eyes of the three of them fell on the only figure at the scene who did not express his position.

Banster, who was tall, thin and wearing a black robe, felt a little awkward when he was stared at by three eyes. He couldn't help but frown: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Now all that's left is your opinion," Luen said with a serious face. "We all agree to establish further communication with the captain and disclose to him our actions in the border waters - what do you think?"

Banster pursed his lips tightly, obviously still thinking intensely in his mind. After a long time, he sighed helplessly: "I need some time to let my bishops accept this matter. "

Helena was a little surprised: "In other words, you personally accepted it?"

"Otherwise?" Banster spread his hands, "Personal emotions must give way at times like this - as long as 'he' doesn't take anything away from me this time."
