Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 440

[Chapter 438 Devastated]

That piece of devastated starlight is opening to himself and walking towards him——He was sitting on the sofa before, but when he took steps towards this side, Agatha felt as if she was watching A giant that is difficult to describe in words. In a short moment, she even lost the ability to judge the size and proportion. The disordered perception made her unable to understand the size of this house, and the giant formed by the starlight… It almost suffocates her soul.

But this was only a short illusion. The next moment, Agatha woke up from the astonishment. She realized that her sanity was not affected by any existence in this room, as if… she had naturally integrated into it. here.

“I…” She gathered herself together and stared at the giant made of starlight in front of her. She knew that she was continuously watching the “reality” of this indescribable person. Under normal circumstances, this behavior was no different from suicide, but after confirming After she was really not affected by it now, she became more courageous, “I didn’t expect you to still be here, just to try my luck…” “Where do you think

I will go? There is a lot of mess here Like the protagonists in picture books who complete tasks? ” Duncan laughed, and said while turning his body to signal Agatha to enter the room, and then he paused for a moment, but remained calm. Glancing at Alice next to her, she added, “I’m referring to those picture books with normal content.”

Agatha was a little dazed, she felt like she couldn’t keep up with the thinking of this great being, but soon she Convincing himself with the reason that “it is normal for mortals not to understand the thoughts of the ancient gods”, he walked towards the house.

Duncan stopped suddenly and glanced at Agatha’s hand.

“…Can you put Shirley down first?” He said in a strange tone, “Shirley, you too—how can you enjoy yourself instead?” “Ah, I’m sorry!” Agatha reacted

suddenly Come here, and quickly put the thin girl in her hand on the ground, but the moment she put it down, her expression suddenly changed.

The situation was chaotic at the door just now, and she didn’t pay attention to Xue Li. Only then did she suddenly notice the abnormality on the latter—the limbs mutated by the symbiosis of the deep demon, the hidden body extending from the body. The chain, as well as the dark hound who was hiding in the shadows, secretly looking outside.

“Youxu…” Agatha subconsciously opened her mouth, her muscles tensed instantly.

But before she could take any action, Duncan’s voice sounded from the side: “Relax, it’s just a harmless hound. I sometimes need a hound to help me find things.” “Harmless… a hound?

” Agatha spoke with a strange expression, but her eyes subconsciously swept around.

Those figures came into view again—those who looked like those chosen by the gods, those who seemed to be blessed by the subspace, those who seemed to be inhabited by the power of the sun, and those who could not even see through the shells of their souls… Her

gaze It fell next to the girl named Shirley again.

The deep hound realized that he had been spotted, and was crouching in the shadows with his neck curled up, looking pitiful.

Agatha fell silent.

The ancient god and his followers gathered here—indeed, any deep demon could be regarded as harmless to humans and animals here.

“Don’t worry, Shirley is not an Annihilation Cultist,” Duncan explained patiently when Agatha fell silent, “She and Agou got acquainted for other reasons, and they are all acting according to my orders now. Dangerous to the city-state.”

As he spoke, he pointed to a chair not far away: “Sit down, you should have a lot to say.”

Agatha walked over slowly, while Duncan watched her actions—she I found the position of the chair very accurately, but I obviously hesitated and fumbled a bit when I sat down.

“You seem to need some time to adapt to your current state,” Duncan said, “Is there no problem?”

This mysterious existence seemed to be so kind and peaceful forever, but Agatha moved her body uncomfortably: “…I’m really not used to the way I perceive the world now, but there is nothing to worry about with this body. In fact, what happened The changes in me have many benefits, I can now see many things that I couldn’t observe before, but… need to get used to.” “

Sorry,” Duncan said in a serious tone, “I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Change—in fact, you don’t need to take such an extreme method of self-sacrifice.”

“But this is the most efficient method.” Agatha shook her head lightly, “There is nothing more suitable for you than a gatekeeper.” A carrier of great power.”

Duncan didn’t say anything more, and then he focused on the special attire of the other party at the moment.

“You are very different from the last time we met,” he said casually, “It looks…you look more like a priest now than before.” “

I am temporarily acting as the archbishop,” Agatha nodded lightly , “Bishop Ivan is gone, and now the battle in the city is over. Rather than a heavily armed gatekeeper, there is more need for someone to lead the church to appease the souls of the dead and the minds of the living.” “Bishop Ivan

… “Duncan’s tone was a bit solemn. After a short silence, he sighed softly, “I haven’t seen him, but at that time, I felt the protection that descended on the city-state…Although it was short, his efforts did indeed The link between the mirror image and reality has been weakened in a short time, and many more people would have died without him.” “

May he enjoy peace in Bartok’s kingdom,” Agatha said softly, “He… After many years, I can finally rest for a long time.”

“He will—although I don’t know what’s going on in Bartok’s domain, but as a righteous god, he must treat those noble souls fairly, ” Duncan said casually, and then changed the topic, “Now, tell me about the situation in the city-state.”

Agatha nodded slightly.

She knew that, as the gatekeeper of the Church of Death and one of the only remaining people in the city-state who could preside over the situation, she should not casually reveal Frost’s current embarrassment to others, and she should not casually report to the unknown, suspected ancient The existence of God established more exchanges, but after witnessing the huge figure standing in the sea outside the city-state, and after performing the “self-sacrifice”, she knew that whether it was Frost or herself, it was inevitable An inseparable connection has been established with this mysterious existence.

Now this existence is obviously still interested in continuing to pay attention to this battered city-state, so she has no way to avoid this matter.

If you have committed a sin with your choices today, let the church and the Lord judge you.

“The current situation of Frost… is very bad,” she said in a low voice, “As you know, we just lost Archbishop Ivan, and the priests and defenders of the church also lost a lot in the process of defending the city-state. Now the city is full of fear and tension, as well as various negative effects brought about by casualties-if these cannot be dealt with in time, then secondary disasters are likely to appear, and terrible things will come from people’s hearts. When the church is understaffed, the ‘fear’ itself will snowball in the city-state.

” In fact, the sunset a few hours later is likely to be the beginning of the test – in the previous mirror invasion , The frost has lasted for a long time without being illuminated by the sun, which greatly weakened the city-state’s protection against extraordinary powers. No one knew what would happen on the next first night.

“On the other hand, the situation of the city hall is actually worse than that of the church—except for the battle damage suffered by the city guard and the sheriff’s troops, the most serious thing is…” Agatha obviously

hesitated when she said this, but after several After struggling for a second, she still revealed the situation – after all, it is impossible to hide the missing of the consul from anyone.

“The most serious thing is that the consul is missing.”

Duncan raised his eyebrows: “Missing?”

“He disappeared in the Boiling Gold Mine, and I…” Agatha was a little stuck, as if trying to organize her words, and continued after a few seconds with a complicated expression, “The other me, who led a team to investigate the disappearance of the Consul That mine tunnel, according to the report of the exploration team that returned to the cathedral, ‘I’ and Consul Winston both entered an anomalous area blocked by a stone wall, and did not return…” Her tone was low and

tinged Hesitantly, obviously when mentioning “another self”, her mood was not as calm as she showed.

And Duncan can almost imagine how tangled, chaotic and contradictory it was when Agatha returned to the cathedral to understand the actions of the “other self” with the other priests in the past few days.

He looked at Agatha calmly: “You can put it bluntly—the consul of Frost City is dead, you have already judged that, right?” “Yes,”

Agatha finally stopped After hesitating, he said frankly, “Although there is no evidence, I do ‘know’ that he is dead. He died in a strange and dark space, and probably the body will never be found.” “You ‘know’,

” Duncan emphasized the word “know”, and then adjusted his sitting posture on the chair, “It seems that you will go to the Boiling Gold Mine again later.” “There… is the last

place where ‘she’ disappeared, ” Agatha nodded lightly, “When she finally disappeared, I felt something indescribable. I seemed to be able to perceive her thoughts. I felt…she seemed to have a lot to tell me. But she has no time…”

Agatha stopped, and then continued: “And… the members of the exploration team who returned from the mine also mentioned something to me, that is ‘another me’ leading the team to explore I told them about it when I was in the mine, and it made me even more disturbed…”
