Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 212
[Chapter 212 “Blessing”]
The familiar car overturned on the road, as if there was an accident on the way to the cathedral, and her uncle was obviously in the car—Vanna was already in a trance due to exhaustion He tensed up at this moment, and rushed to the side of the car almost in the blink of an eye.
Then, she suddenly noticed that the arm that fell out of the car window was twitching slightly, and the blood-soaked palm seemed to lift a little as she approached.
Uncle is alive!
Fan Na reacted in an instant, and hurried forward with one hand to stabilize the posture of the car, while the other hand pinched the deformed door frame, and then leaned in to prop up the deformed internal structure while checking Dante’s injuries. He rescued his uncle from the car while trying not to cause secondary damage, and then immediately cast a magical spell. With the support of the little energy left, he called out the moist sea breeze, trying to bring vitality back to the already delirious Inside Dante.
The almost suffocating hot wind is still raging on the street, the scorching ashes and falling sparks make the city-state look like a purgatory, Fanna spreads the power of protection around her, resisting the deadly environment around her with strong coercion, she Putting Dante flat on the ground, after some rescue, I finally saw this relative who had depended on me for eleven years opened his eyes slightly.
“Ah…Fanna…you’re back…”
These were the first words Dante said after opening his eyes.
“Yes, I’m back.” Fan Na didn’t notice what was wrong with Dante’s “I’m back” at the first moment, but subconsciously stepped forward and held Dante’s hand, “How do you feel now? You can still get up I’ll take you to the cathedral…”
“No… don’t bother me as a burden,” Dante shook his head slightly, and he held Fanna’s hand instead, with a little force on his fingertips, “I should have Thinking that one day…they will come to take away the price…you leave quickly, before they find you…leave Purande, go to a place where no one knows you…”
Hearing her uncle’s whisper, Fan Na was startled suddenly, she suddenly realized that her uncle seemed to know something that even she didn’t know, which made her tone tremble a little: “What do you mean? Who are they referring to? What price will they take away? You… don’t tell me you already knew what happened in the city-state?!”
Dante raised his eyelids, his prosthetic eye made of ruby was broken at some point, and blood flowed down the eye socket The wound on the edge flowed down, and the only human eyeballs reflected the fire in the street. After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke softly: “The final missionaries… and the Asians behind them… Space… Fanna, do you still remember the fire eleven years ago?”
“The fire eleven years ago…” Fanna opened her eyes slightly, “You actually remember that fire?!” “
How do I Do you remember…it burns before my eyes every day,” Dante showed a wry smile, “but I thought I could lie to myself for the rest of my life.” Confused thoughts boiled in her head, and
Fan Na seemed to have forgotten her exhaustion at this moment With pain and pain, she stared closely at her uncle’s eyes that had begun to cloud, and all kinds of information about the fire, the black sun, the subspace, and the final missionary kept appearing in her mind. Before these clues almost buried herself, she Finally he asked: “But what does this have to do with the subspace and the final missionary…and me, what does this have to do with me? Why did ‘they’ come to me? What’s the price they’re going to take away?” ‘!?”
After Fanna uttered this series of questions, she felt a little regretful. She felt that she was not talking to her uncle, but as if she was judging a prisoner, but Dante obviously didn’t care about this, and he just took a few breaths , then whispered as if in a dream: “When the fire was burning, I glimpsed… a line of projection in the subspace. When the ultimate and dangerous truth came, I made a wish in the subspace.”
” You made a wish in the subspace?” Fanna looked at Dante in astonishment, “What wish?” “
I hope nothing happens, I hope you… come alive.”
All the expressions on Fanna’s face froze instantly.
Dante quietly stared at the niece in front of him, his face seemed to be crying, but with a bitter smile, he slowly raised his hand, as if wanting to stroke Fanna’s hair, his lips moved , with a low voice: “Fanna…you have grown up…I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, uncle is useless, back then…I couldn’t save you…” “But I remember you took me away from the
fire… …”
“What I brought out from the fire was only a mass of ashes,” Dante said softly, “It was only a moment, and there was no time to react, and you turned into a small mass of burnt ashes… I Crazy wanting to escape from that nightmare, wanting to bring everything back to before the disaster happened, anyone can help, even gods, demons, even subspace… Then, something responded My wish, it took me many years after that to understand what was responding to me at that moment…”
Fan Na seemed to be unable to hear what Dante was saying after that.
She just slowly raised her hands and looked at her flesh and blood body.
After some time, she finally broke the silence: “So, in a sense, my survival is actually the result of the blessing of the subspace?”
Dante closed his eyes slightly, he could not answer this question, he could only use This is the default.
“Then…how did I become a saint?” Fanna asked immediately, she was asking her uncle, but she seemed to be asking herself, “How could the Goddess of Storms allow an Insubspace Bless those who survived to become their followers, and even bestow powerful power and protection?”
“I…I don’t know,” Dante slowly shook his head, “Maybe only the goddess herself can answer your question , but…how about us…”
Fan Na remained silent, her thoughts were more chaotic than ever, the belief that had supported her for so many years had an irreparable crack at this moment, and she didn’t know how to face her own beliefs, and even how to face her own feelings. “Existence”, but after a moment of silence, she slowly stood up, and said softly as if talking to herself: “In any case, someone must stop this invasion of reality, and must… let everything we are familiar with return to reality.” The real world.”
“Fanna, you will die,” Dante suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he tried his best to prop up his upper body, “You can’t stay here anymore, the foundation of reality here is breaking , you must leave Purand, leave this vision, until it is completely lost to your memory – listen, if your survival is really the result of the blessing of the warp, then the act of correcting history may cause yourself This kind of paradoxical conflict cannot be achieved by ordinary people…”
Fan Na just watched her uncle quietly, her eyes were gentle and calm.
“Uncle, didn’t you say that you love this city-state and everything in it?”
Dante was silent for a while, and a determined expression returned to his face: “…Of course, so I will stay here, Facing fate with the city-state, I am prepared no matter whether I survive or die in the end, but…but you are different, Fanna, you can’t…” “I am the same,”
Fanna interrupted softly, ” I also love this place, and I am ready for everything… just like what you taught me since I was a child, the responsibility lies.”
Dante quietly looked at Fanna standing in front of him, looking at his only relative in this world , the latter’s figure was as tall as ever, resolute and steady like a sea wall preparing to face huge waves.
He knew that his words would no longer matter.
So he sighed softly, supported himself with the last of his strength, slowly moved aside, and leaned against a nearby street lamp.
“Then go,” he said softly, “I’ll be here…waiting for your return.”
Fan Na lowered her head and looked at her uncle in front of her.
In her memory, her uncle is still a tall and resolute mountain, but since when has he been so much shorter than herself?
She bent down slightly, her voice was low and gentle: “…If all goes well, the Prand you are familiar with will return to the real world. At that time…don’t forget me.” Dante didn’t say
anything, just tapped nodded.
Vanna straightened up.
However, at the next moment, a disturbing vibration suddenly came from a distance, interrupting her movements, and then, there was a terrifying loud noise, and the toothache, the structure of the building was torn and collapsed Screeching sound.
Fan Na looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment. She had never felt so frightened and uneasy like this moment, and the scene reflected in her eyes in the next second confirmed the source of this uneasiness.
She saw a burst of flames shooting into the sky from the direction of the cathedral. The air waves from the explosion almost dispersed the scorching smoke in the sky, followed by a dazzling and weird flash, as if a small sun was gradually rising from the ground. To devour and melt down everything from the bottom up.
Immediately afterwards, something even more terrifying happened.
She heard more explosions, more piercing noises, and she saw one after another soaring flames rising from all over the city-state, huge fireballs floating above the sea of fire like rounds of small suns, and that Every position where the fireball rises represents a church.
Even when the city was melted by fire, the continuous bells finally stopped gradually, and the isolated islands of shelter in the city-state fell one after another.
Fan Na felt that her mind was almost blank for a while, and in the next second, she was driven by instinct to rush towards the direction of the largest flash of light, towards the Storm Cathedral in the center of Prand.
