Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 219
[Chapter 219 People Who Survived]
The icon of the storm goddess Gemona stands quietly in the Great Cathedral, majestic, mysterious, and silent as before.
That veil seemed to not only cover the face of the goddess, but also a certain connection between the world and the gods. For the first time, Fan Na realized that she didn’t understand at all, or even what kind of god she worshiped. The presence.
All along, she just believed in everything about storms and the deep sea for granted. She never thought about these issues like today, never considered analyzing the relationship between gods and herself from a questioning perspective.
Shocked all of a sudden, Fan Na woke up from her brief contemplation, feeling her heart pounding, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
Thinking breeds heresy, but God cannot pry into it.
She couldn’t believe that those almost deviant thoughts just now came from her own head-began to question the “behavior” of the gods, which was almost tantamount to heresy.
However, in the next second, she felt the gentle sound of sea waves ringing in her ears, and the gaze and comfort from the goddess emerged as usual, further relieving the accumulated pain in this body and soothing her spirit.
Even in this great hall, even if such wavering thoughts appear in her thoughts, the goddess remains the same… Is it because God is ignorant, or is it because the Lord doesn’t care?
“…Don’t you really need to rest?” Valentine’s voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Fanna’s distraction again. The old man looked at the young judge beside him with some worry, he remembered Zhong Fanna has never been in such a continuous state of blankness in front of the goddess, “You look in a trance… Physical injuries can heal easily, but mental fatigue can be troublesome.” “I…” Fan Na’s expression
flickered Some hesitated, “Maybe I’m really a little tired.”
“Then go to rest, and I will take care of the follow-up matters,” Valentine said immediately, and then hurriedly added before the other party wanted to say anything, “I just received the news that Mr. Dante is safe. Returning to the mansion, I think… your family should need you very much at this time, and you need your family too.”
“Uncle…” Fan Na was stunned for a moment, and the scene when she said goodbye to her uncle before emerged in her heart, a strange feeling The feeling touched her heart, and finally made her give up her last insistence, “Okay, then I will leave first, and I will leave this place to you.” “Go at ease,”
Valentine nodded lightly, “May the storm protect you.” You.”
“…may the storm protect you.” Fanna said softly.
A dark gray steam car drove out of the church square, and after passing through the intersection in the central area that had been blocked, it first drove towards the direction of the governor’s mansion.
Fan Na was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, and the driver was Heidi who had just finished being questioned in the church.
“Thank you, I have to trouble you to give me a ride.” Seeing the scenery outside the car window receding, Fan Na thanked her friend softly, “You could have left earlier.
” You’re so polite,” Heidi said casually while holding the steering wheel while observing the road conditions, “and I won’t be early, the young monk asked me a lot of questions, and finally let me smoke incense for a long time, it’s all Necessary ‘safety measures’ – it will be evening after all the tossing.”
Fan Na looked out the window and saw the city-state guards and guards patrolling the road, some citizens who were still in shock walked quickly across the street, and some people who watched The people who just came out of the shelter are looking for passers-by to inquire about the situation. From time to time, you can see the sheriff with a loudspeaker standing at the intersection, informing the nearby people of the latest situation – the content is nothing more than a vision of the city-state. Intrusion, the danger has been eliminated, entering the third level of martial law tonight, etc.
Purand seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, and the order in the city-state was still chaotic, but even in such a chaotic and tense scene, Fanna still felt a kind of indescribable gratitude and…warmth.
Fear and tension are living proofs, and only those who have survived the disaster are qualified to be anxious at this moment-and the rising sun the next day will be the best relief for Prand.
“Are you okay? You look so low-spirited,” Heidi noticed Fan Na’s exhaustion and trance even while driving, “It’s the first time I’ve seen you so low-spirited since I was a child—I thought you were It was forged from a single steel plate.”
“…If I tell you that when the fire rained down, I alone killed the entire city-state, would you believe me?” After Dee left together, her spirit gradually relaxed, “I’m almost exhausted.” “
I believe it, of course I believe it. After all, it’s you. I believe you even if you say you came back from subspace,” Heidi heard. After hearing the other party’s words, she didn’t even change her expression, she nodded her head as a matter of course, and then suddenly looked up and down Fan Na’s eyes, “No wonder you look like this…”
Fan Na felt awkward because of the other party’s sizing up and down. : “You… have weird eyes.”
“I just had an idea,” Heidi said with a serious face, “Would you like to go to the Marriage Help Center now?” “
…Why?”
“It’s not easy You can be so weak, maybe there are people you can’t beat now, and this does not violate your second oath back then—to do your best in any battle,” Heidi seemed to have completely let go of her thoughts, even She didn’t care about Fan Na’s increasingly distorted expression at all, “Otherwise you will be invincible again after you go home and sleep, and the Marriage Help Center will have to send people to the hospital every now and then…”
Fan Na squeezed her fist slightly.
The sound of air bursting made Heidi instantly quiet.
It was quiet for two seconds, and Heidi muttered again: “If you don’t like it, you won’t like it. You have threatened me since I was a child, and I let you eat my lunch…” Then the car became quiet, and after a few seconds of silence
, Afterwards, Fan Na suddenly said softly: “Thank you, I feel much calmer.”
“That is, after all, I am the best psychiatrist in Prand—and you really need to be in a good state to face Mr. Dante,” Heidi smiled as if the plan was successful, and then the car drove by her Stopped smoothly under the control of the girl, “You’re home, my invincible lady knight – cheer up, all of us came back with our lives saved today.” After our lives… Heidi just
said
casually However, for some reason, Fan Na thought of a sentence often said by the believers of the Death Sect—
survival is not an innate right, but an item with a price paid in advance.
Fan Na lowered her eyelids, took a light breath, thanked and said goodbye to her friend, got out of the car, and walked towards the door not far away.
Heidi quietly watched Fan Na’s leaving back in the car. After a while, she started the car, turned around, and drove towards her home.
Is dad all right now? If he is also safe, then… what is he doing now?
…
Lightning flashed and thundered outside the cabin, the storm suddenly rose, and the strong wind rolled the huge waves and slapped the towering ship’s side of the Lost Homeland. Under the deep and dark sea, it seemed that some unspeakable giant beast had been enraged, and was attacking the ship. The world is releasing monstrous malice.
Through the porthole, you can see the giant surrounded by raging flames standing on the bow, the burning chains extending into the sea, and a huge monster with a large number of tentacles, almost the same size as the Lost Homeland, is going crazy under the water Rolling over, the tentacles with countless fangs and eyes kept protruding out of the sea, and climbed onto the ship’s side, as if trying to break free from the shackles of the chains, or drive the Lost Homeland out of this sea area.
In the cabin, the lights that use whale oil as the main fuel are bright, but they can’t dispel the tension and fear. Shirley has hugged Agou and shivered into a ball, listening to the movement outside with a face of horror, while Agou stretched his neck vigorously to avoid As he was strangled to death, he confirmed with Alice: “You, you… are you sure that the boat… the captain is fishing?!
” This kind of city-state people just make a fuss,” meaning, “Fishing is the captain’s greatest hobby!”
“I finally know why you have that reaction every time you talk about Mr. Duncan’s fish…” Shirley finally realized what happened, and said to Agou with a sad face, “I… If I had known earlier when I was eating …”
Before she finished speaking, Morris, who was closing his eyes on the other side of the table, suddenly opened his eyes, and the old gentleman looked at the girl on the opposite side with a look of horror: “You…have been caught by Mr. Duncan…er , ‘fish’?”
“I don’t know!” Shirley was about to cry, she turned her head to look at Nina as she spoke, “You…you never told me that your uncle’s fish was brought back like this It’s…”
“I don’t know,” Nina shook her head, but the expression on her face was not as exaggerated as the others, but rather… Excited, she leaned her head by the table and looked through the porthole Looking at the scene on the deck, those tentacles rushing out of the water did not make her feel scared, but just made her feel more novel, “You say…how did those things turn into fish in the end?” In all fairness, Nina
now In fact, there is no difference in her performance from when she was in the city-state. She is as cheerful as ever, lively and sunny as always, but this kind of behavior is normal in a peaceful city-state. If so, it would be a bit scary, and it was under such circumstances that Shirley seemed to have finally discovered Nina’s incredible side: “…You two are too scary, really…”
Nina scratched her head. Scratching her hair, her expression was a bit puzzled: “Really? I think it’s okay…”
While speaking, Alice suddenly stood up and walked out.
Shirley was a little nervous immediately: “Ah, what are you going to do?”
“Go get ready for dinner,” Alice said with a look of course, “The captain will finish that big fish soon.”
Alice left, keeping Several “visitors” who got on the ship by accident looked at each other in the cabin.
“I…I want to go home…” Shirley hugged Agou hard, with an expression on her face that was about to cry.
The red light in Agou’s bloody eyes flickered on and off: “You’re going to strangle me…”
Morris suddenly sighed.
Seeing this, Nina hurriedly asked, “Teacher, why are you sighing?”
“I think I can write a book when I go back,” Morris thought for a while, and spread his hands, “I’m just worried that my daughter will think that I’m mentally ill… …”
Nina: “…?”
