Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 416

[Chapter 414 Next Record]

although I have known Morris for many years, in fact, Morris has always been just a gentle and refined scholar in Vanna’s eyes——When he was still in the city-state of Purdue, this old man The husband spent most of his energy in the school classroom, and the rest of the time was either soaked in the library or was pulled by some schools to give speeches.

Fan Na didn’t have many chances to understand the “excellence” of this elder in the extraordinary field.

But since aboard the Lost Lands, she’s finally starting to see another side of Maurice, and realizing what those seemingly innocuous scholars who follow the god of wisdom, Raheem, do their work with. —

that is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: the search for knowledge.

But it’s normal to think about it carefully. Scholars should have unique and powerful powers. After all, there are many people in this world chasing knowledge, ranging from deep demons to phantoms in the spirit world. Mortals have caught up, what is the reason? Relying on the strong academic level of mortal scholars…

Fan Na rubbed her forehead, tried her best to control the wild thoughts in her head, and muttered casually: “So you are so good… If I had known that I also took classes seriously back then, maybe …”

“No, it’s too short.” Morris shook his head expressionlessly, “It’s more suitable for you to exercise seriously.”

Fan Na was a little embarrassed: “At least I graduated from City State University…”

Morris glanced at her: “One-third of the credits are for physical education, and one-third credits are for church studies.”

Fanna fell silent, and after a few seconds of silence, she turned her eyes to the thick fog around her, shifting abruptly. Topic: “The cultists you eliminated should be the controllers of those fake freaks?”

“At most one of the controllers,” Morris shook his head, “Have you heard the movement from other blocks? Now the entire city-state There are monsters like that everywhere, and I don’t know how many cultists have taken advantage of the thick fog to enter the real world… I’m afraid we won’t be able to wipe them out.”

Fan Na nodded solemnly, but when she was about to say something more, she suddenly noticed something out of the corner of her eye, and immediately let out a soft “Huh”.

She came to the side of the dead Annihilation Cultist, knelt down to check the condition of the corpse, stretched out her hand to grab the other’s collar, and tore it apart casually.

The flesh and blood under the clothes are melting and wriggling, showing the appearance of being polluted and infiltrated by the black mud, and as the body died, the speed of the wriggling of the mud also slowed down visibly to the naked eye, and gradually appeared to be drying up.

“…This is also a fake!?” Fan Na opened her eyes wide in astonishment, unable to believe what she found, “This group of cultists… even made a fake of their own?!” “No, it’s not that

simple ” Morris frowned. He was also carefully examining the cultist’s body, and recalled the details of the battle just now. After a while, he slowly shook his head. It’s the same—those fakes have gaps in the thinking process that are obviously different from those of human beings. Even if they can behave like ordinary people, they will not be able to maintain a stable consciousness because of the instability of the ‘element’ itself, but this cultist did not This kind of problem.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the piece of flesh and blood covered in black mud on the cultist’s chest.

“More importantly, this part, you see, he is not made of elements – elements and normal flesh and blood exist at the same time, this is more like a symbiosis, or…self-pollution.” Fanna stared

at After looking at that position for a long time, his brows gradually frowned: “This group of heretics actively polluted themselves with elements? They even used elements to replace part of their own flesh and blood… This is a bit disgusting, even if it is placed on the Annihilation Cultist, it is impressive The degree of perversion.”

Morris’ tone was quite calm: “I don’t think it’s much different from those Annihilation Cultists who transformed themselves into deep demons. These lunatics hate the flesh and blood in the world. They never mind using the most Transform yourself in a crazy way.”

As he said that, he focused his attention on other things.

He looked at the big black book that the cultist had been holding in his hand.

After a little hesitation, the old scholar stretched out his hand and pulled the book out of the cultist’s clenched fingers.

“Be careful,” Fanna reminded immediately upon seeing this, “this book may contain blasphemy and filth! Now that the power of the sun has weakened, touch it rashly…” “Scholars always open new and mysterious books

, For us, every reading is a process of challenge and adventure.” Morris shook his head lightly, “Don’t worry, the Raheem Sect has special training and coping skills for reading behavior in this situation. You Just stand by and help me be vigilant, and if something is attracted to this book, help me get rid of it.”

Fan Na hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a serious expression: “…Okay.”

Morris hummed, Complete a quick prayer in your heart, then take out a small bottle of herbal powder from your arms, pour half of it on the ground and ignite it, and sprinkle the other half on the book in front of you, and then confirm the status of the string of colored stones on your wrist , and then sat down solemnly on the ground, and put the book on his lap.

The cover of this book is pitch black, without any words or symbols on the surface, only a fine network pattern can be vaguely seen printed on the hard cover, making it impossible to judge its origin.

Morris opened the cover of the book and looked at the contents on the inside pages.

Fan Na on the side looked away, trying to avoid being affected by the book.

Some messy lines and symbols caught Morris’ eyes.

At first, he couldn’t understand what he saw at all, those messy symbols and lines didn’t match any language or ancient script he knew, but when he tried to turn to the next page, the traces on those pages suddenly began Moved——the ink mark turned into a living crawling thing, moving quickly through the cage made of paper, and the jumping characters stimulated the vision of the old scholar. In just a few seconds, he felt that he had begun to move. Understand the descriptions on the page.

Those symbols and lines were twisting rapidly, everything on the page trembled before his eyes, and “knowledge” was directly mapped into his mind!

Morris’s heart moved, and the protection and stress measures set in advance in his consciousness were instantly activated. The next second, the main consciousness was withdrawn, and his rationality solidified. He seemed to be a bystander in an instant, and stood at the scene from a detached and illusory perspective. Behind the “self” in the real world, calmly and soberly read the content that is emerging in his brain.

“…the meeting of the abandoned kings was held again and again, and the original plan was finalized…

“The flesh and blood of the abandoned ones will melt in the light…”

After reading only a few sentences, Morris’ illusory “Self-projection” suddenly frowned.

This is what was written on the note brought back by the young informant named “Crow” when the captain led the team to explore the second waterway for the first time! It was that paragraph The words are vague, the source is unknown, and it seems to be some kind of ancient record of “holy script” description!

Morris’s eyes changed slightly, and he immediately controlled his body to turn the pages of the book, allowing his eyes to read those profane and distorted words, and formed them in his mind. The corresponding knowledge memory, and then read the content in his mind from the perspective of a bystander.

He saw more hieroglyphic descriptions, and after the content copied by the crow, there were indeed some fragmented sentences:

” …after the Forsaken Clan was gone, and the creation of all things proceeded as planned, the Forgotten Kings began to devise the first and final blueprint… “However,

that first blueprint was soon abandoned, because the Great The aftermath of annihilation is turbulent in the world… The kings gathered dust into stones, and stones into stars, but the stars disintegrated and shattered, and could not last… “Thalmir, the king of the pale giants, fell in

the The first long night of Genesis…

“…The kings began to design the second blueprint. They selected one of themselves and wanted him to be the Creator. The first one selected was the King of Dreams, who also The stalwart known as the ‘King of Knowledge and Memory’, because this stalwart has indeed demonstrated the miracle of creation…

“But the second blueprint also failed, so the King of Dreams was torn apart in the second long night of Genesis Yes, a part of him is floating on the border of the real world…

“The third blueprint is handed over to another king for execution. It is called the ‘King of Creeping’, also known as the ‘Lord of Clusters’. He is the co-lord of countless invisible and small things, and he holds the authority of creation. He also holds the authority to create the opposite… and the truth, calling him ‘the elder brother of wisdom’.

“…The King of Creeping began his work, and in the third long night, he gave the blueprint to the swarm, and from the surviving In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the King of Dreams and the King of Pale Giants, He divided the blueprint so that there would be no more kingdoms in the world, and the kingdoms would be reduced to twelve hundred cities, and those The clan was in charge of the first ten cities and named them ‘Crete’.

“The third long night passed in peace like this. This is good.

” But the lost kings were dissatisfied with the King of Creeping’s change of blueprint, so they blocked his way back to the holy seat, and the clans of the ten cities Grateful to the creeping king, they dared not praise this king in front of the kings, so they gave him another honorable name, they called him holy, also known as –

“The Lord of the Deep.”
